Woo, there are so few monthly passes today, can Luo Luo ask for one?

"The right is adjacent to Qiantang, the left is the West Lake, and Lin'an is prosperous and unparalleled in the world - this Lin'an is really the richest place in the world!"

Liu Bingzhong said: "If you talk about population and wealth, Lin'an Mansion alone can beat the Northern Ming and Eastern Tang Dynasty, right?" Now the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties are competing for power, and the strongest is actually the Great Song Dynasty...... It's just that the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and didn't like conquest, so Tang Yuanming got his way. ”

Jia Rudao sighed and said: "Big but not gathered, rich but not strong, many people and scattered, just a plate of loose sand!" ”

Liu Bingzhong showed an envious smile: "If it is big but not gathered, it will be gathered, if it is rich but not strong, it will be strong, if there are many people and the heart is scattered, it will be united, and if it is not big, not rich, and no one is the way to solve it." If Chen Dexing gets Jiangnan, a certain manager will not be able to guarantee it for three years, and Jiangnan will be able to be trained by him to become a strong Chu Sheng Wu. ”

Jia Rudao sneered: "Hmm, as long as there is no Shijue warrior rewarded to him by the land of Jiangnan Scholars, why don't Jiangnan have hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers?" ”

Liu Bingzhong asked rhetorically with an impassive expression: "Pingzhang Gong doesn't want to change the law to follow suit?" ”

Jia Rudao sighed: "The 300-year-old law, how can it be said that it will change?" ”

"Who let Da Song do the same law as Beiming?"

Liu Bingzhong said: "The Northern Ming Dynasty was established in a wild land, and there was no scholar to rely on, so naturally he could only be named a scholar and a gentleman of Xia. However, the Great Song Dynasty has a population of 100 million trillions, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and Shinong, industry and commerce. Why copy the Northern Ming? If Chen Dexing takes Jiangnan, most of them will change their ways, respect Confucius and Confucianism, and govern the people with scholars. ”

Jia Rudao snorted coldly. Quite disdainful. It's just that I don't know if I disdain Chen Dexing, or if I don't look down on Dr. Jiangnan.

The carriages and horses have passed through the most prosperous Lin'an City. From the Yongjin Gate to the shore of West Lake. Although the outside of Yongjin Gate is already outside Lin'an City, the prosperity has not diminished at all. Outside the city gates. Facing the West Lake is the five-storey Fengle Building, which is the largest restaurant in Lin'an, and although it has passed the lunch market, there are still many customers outside the Fengle Building, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing is endless.

On the street outside the Yongjin Gate, on the embankment on the east bank of the West Lake, pedestrians are even more rubbing shoulders. Liu Bingzhong, who got out of the carriage, noticed that even the small merchants and vendors who led the carts to sell pulp were wearing silk clothes and stepping on silk shoes, which was a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

If Chen Dexing returned to Lin'an at this time, he might be surprised to find that the city had not only recovered from the Lin'an change. And it's a little more prosperous. This is not because of how clever the Great Song Pingzhang's military and state affairs Jia Nidao's statecraft is, but because the war with Mongolia has completely ended. Moreover, after the warlords of Sichuan, Jinghu and Lianghuai were towned, the military expenditure of the Southern Song Dynasty court was also greatly reduced, and the exploitation of private wealth was naturally reduced a lot. As a result, the people's lives have improved somewhat compared to the past.

Jia Nidao and Liu Bingzhong, who returned to Lin'an, were both micro-obedient, and there were few followers, so they got off the carriage and walked slowly on the embankment of the West Lake.

"Pingzhanggong, this is the latest edition of the "Liberation" newspaper." Liao Yingzhong handed over a tabloid at this time, which he had just purchased from a mobile newspaper vendor—Lin'an's speech was as free as ever. Chen Dexing's "Liberation" newspaper and "Tiandao" newspaper both have newspapers in Lin'an. And the sales of both newspapers are not bad.

Jia Nidao took the "Recovery" newspaper and flipped through it, and the front page was the news of the dialectics of Putuo Mountain and the return of the Tang Yi Emperor Zigong to the north - Jia Rudao did not break his promise, Li Quan's bones were dug up and handed over to the sect destroyer who was still in Putuo Mountain.

As for the Putuo Mountain dialectic. Of course, the "Liberation" newspaper is advocating for Chen Dexing. Most of the tabloids in Lin'an unanimously believe that Chen Dexing has run out of words, and they don't believe in Mingzhou's New World and Diyuan...... It's all a joke!

In addition to these two messages. There are also many reports on the three northern countries such as Tang Yuanming in the "Guangfu" newspaper, as well as articles introducing the news and customs of Japan, Goryeo, Annam, Dali and other countries. These are the most attractive points of the "Liberation" newspaper to readers. Their news is better than that of the Southern Song court. Not only was the matter related to Beiming, but the "Recovery" newspaper was the first to report, and even Ali Buge was killed. Li Pu was proclaimed emperor, Kublai Khan established the Great Yuan and opened the imperial examination, and even the restoration of the Duan clan in Dali, all of which were the first to be reported by the "Guangfu" newspaper in Lin'an.

All readers, including Jia Yidao, also learned about these news from the newspaper "Guangfu" – if they were to obtain information from the bureaucracy of the Great Song Dynasty, they would have been delayed for at least three to six months...... Anyway, up to now, no yamen has sued Jia Rudao that Duan Shi, the head of Mongolian Dali, has restored the country and ascended the throne, proclaimed himself emperor, and built a prosperous Yuan.

This is probably one of the reasons why Jia Rudao has been delaying the "Recovery" newspaper and the "Heavenly Dao" newspaper.

A painting boat has been docked on the pier by the West Lake. Jia Rudao flipped through the newspaper and got on the boat with Liu Bingzhong, Liao Ying and others. In the cabin, there were already maids and maids ready to prepare some tea cakes. Jia Rudao and Liu Bingzhong and others sat separately. The hull of the ship shook slightly, and under the effect of the brace, it slowly left the dock and headed in the direction of Geling.

Jia Rudao put down the tabloid, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then glanced at Liu Bingzhong, who had a deep smile on his face.

"Brother Zicong, do you have any magic ideas to teach me?"

"It's not a good idea, it's just a little advice...... In fact, not to mention, it won't take long for Pingzhang Gong to think of it. ”

"Oh?" Jia seems to be noncommittal.

"The reason why Chen Dexing dared to speak vainly about Zhou Li and got involved in Confucianism and Taoism was because the Confucian scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were justified and had no soldiers, but they were talented and met soldiers, and it was difficult to say that they were reasonable."

Jia Rudao put down the teacup and spread his hands, "There are just no soldiers...... Confucian students are good at everything, but they can't lead soldiers! Even if you take the bow horse, it is useless. If you don't know how to bring soldiers, you can't bring them! ”

Li Tingzhi has been having a headache about this recently! Jia Rudao followed his idea to take a lot of "civil and military" jinshi, but it didn't work, and he couldn't bring soldiers at all. On the one hand, these jinshi were not very willing to lead soldiers, and they were disgusted when they saw them; On the one hand, their little martial arts can't stop the soldiers below at all.

"There's a way to do this." Liu Bingzhong smiled, he was more experienced than Jia Yidao in this regard, because he knew how most of the armies of the Han Marquis in the north were organized.

Jia Rudao seemed to have heard some good news, and came to a little energetic, "Then please ask Brother Zicong to give me advice." ”

Liu Bingzhong lightly spit out a few words: "Clan, classmates, township party." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Most of the soldiers of the Han Marquis in the north are based on clans, with classmates and friends as the backbone, and the township party and neighbors form an army. There are often fathers and sons who go into battle, and brothers who fight wars. ”

"What does Brother Zicong mean......" Jia Rudao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it to let the scholar recruit the villagers on his own?" ”

"Yes," Liu Bingzhong said with a smile, "After all, those Jinshi who are both civil and military have never been in the army, have no foundation in the army, and don't know how to win the hearts of the army, and they don't know how to use that thunderous method, and it is normal that they can't control the army." If Pingzhang Gong asked them to return to their hometowns to the party, mobilize their clan classmates, and recruit their township party neighbors, are they still afraid that they will not be able to control the army? ”

Liao Yingzhong on the side was surprised: "Isn't that a soldier a general?" ”

"How?" Liu Bingzhong sneered, "It's better than having no available soldiers, right?" And no matter how much the soldiers are generals, they are also scholars in charge of the soldiers! ”

The scholar is in charge of the soldiers, and in the eyes of Zhao Song, it is the safest and most reliable.

"But scholars may not be willing to use military resources to take charge of the army!" Jia Rudao shook his head with a wry smile. These days, those jinshi who have been arranged to be military attaches are all sharpening their heads and looking for a way to turn the text.

"Then it's better to lead the troops with civilian resources," Liu Bingzhong said, "The civilian officials will send the military ...... It's already an extraordinary time, so why bother? ”

"The civil official sent the military to return to his hometown to recruit soldiers, and the soldiers will have ......" Jia Rudao slapped his face violently and laughed: "Why didn't the old man think of it? Ah, Brother Zicong is talented! ”

He stood up and paced back and forth in the cramped cabin, muttering to himself as he went, "It doesn't have to be a new science and technology master...... Those high-ranking officials who have been in the officialdom for many years can also return to their hometowns to recruit soldiers...... Behind these people are all strong clans, and they all have protégés, who doesn't respond to everything? With such a hundred thousand soldiers, isn't it possible to raise them in an instant? ”

……

Qingyuan Mansion, the county seat of Changguo.

The low and dilapidated county government has already raised the sun and moon flags fluttering high at this time.

The bustling county town with tens of thousands of inhabitants has been bloodlessly occupied by Chen Dexing's guard division. At this time, the streets inside and outside the county, and the wharf of Shenjiamen Port, were still bustling with people coming and going, as if nothing had happened.

In the entire Changguo County, the coolies should continue to do business, the coolies should continue to work, and the farmers should continue to farm.

Chen Dexing and Chen Huaiqing, two fathers and sons, dressed in civilian clothes, stood on the city wall of Changguo County, looking at this bloodless city, they were all beaming with a smug face - the Southern Song Dynasty is just a soft persimmon that can be pinched as much as you want!

"My lord, it's better to let the eldest brother move the General Taxation Department to Changguo County." Chen Dexing patted the city wall and calculated, "It's better to settle in Zhoushan than to stay in Quanzhou." ”

Chen Huaiqing nodded and pondered: "This is natural, but ...... Jiangnan wealthy families, we should win over a few. Otherwise, we will have no foundation in Jiangnan. ”

"Wooing?" Chen Dexing patted the city wall and said with a light smile, "We can't win over the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and there is no value in winning over...... If they are like-minded, I will not refuse, and if they do not come, forget it. As for the foundation of Jiangnan, the child thought of another type of people - merchants. ”

"Merchant? How can businessmen win over? (To be continued......)
