Sang Weihan said: "It is said that the annual delivery of silk to them is called a beetle, and that humility is called humiliation. As everyone knows, if the war continues without stopping, if the calamity is entangled and not lifted, and the financial resources will be scarce, which is more powerful! The use of troops will make the generals and heroes excessively ask for appeasement and accommodate them, and the border and distant counties will be able to be proud and degraded, decadent and decadent, and do not think about cheering up, which is the greater humiliation! I hope that His Majesty will train and persuade farming, practice military warfare, raise and prepare soldiers, rest with the people, and wait until the country has no internal worries and the people have spare strength, and then act according to the situation, so that the movement will be successful. Moreover, Ye is rich and prosperous, is the country's barrier, now its commander to the Que Dynasty to see, the military government is no one in charge, I think of the "Book of Changes" said not to keep what is hidden, to attract thieves, "Zuo Chuan" said that the brave people attach importance to the principle of protection, and ask His Majesty to make a little inspection to put an end to the treacherous plot. ”

Shi Jingtang said to Sang Weihan's messenger: "I have been troubled in the past few days, and I can't decide what to do, and seeing your Jieshuai's recital today is like waking up drunk, telling you not to worry, I know what to do." ”

The Khitan invasion and looting were described as successes, and the flattery of the Jin State and the collection of rations and tribute from the people were said to be retribution. A typical minion's face, a typical tone that must be settled inside first. Baili Wuji commented on this matter.

It's going to be soon, it should be only two years, and the emperor will die of illness. Baili Wuji knows that there is less and less time left for himself, and the Khitan is getting stronger and stronger, if history changes and causes the Khitan to continue to go south after destroying the Jin, it will be a disaster for the Han nation, with the current strength of the Chu State, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking the car.

The lost land must be recovered, and the Khitan must pay for it, and it is recovered with interest. Baili Wuji secretly swears.

Out of the concept that there is no country, home and nation in the hearts of the people, Baili Wuji ordered Xu Shiming that all students studying in Tiance Fubo College must join a course, and the course name is "Country and Nation".

Brainwashing should start from the baby, and if it can't change this generation, then hope for the next generation.

I hope that in the next generation, there will be no more minions like Shi Jingtang and Sang Weihan.

But what Baili Wuji didn't know was that after Xu Shiming accepted this order, he added some things to this course.

……。

On this day, Xu Shiming reported that the three longitudinal official roads from Tanzhou to Luozhou via Yanzhou, Tanzhou to Enzhou via Wuzhou, Tanzhou through Dunzhou, and Shaozhou to Xingwangfu were widened.

Hundreds of miles of unscrupulous joy, if you want to be blessed, build a road first. This truth has been true since ancient times.

Looking at the map, with these three official roads running north and south, you can achieve the next goal in your heart, that is, to liberate the people from the fields and turn them into craftsmen and merchants. At the same time, these three official roads can make Tanzhou's government decrees unimpeded from now on, and the forces of the Black Flag Army and the Forbidden Army can be quickly thrown into any Chu State.

"King, after the widening of these three roads, what will happen to the migrant workers who build the roads, and how will the more than 10,000 rebel prisoners be disposed of?" Xu Shiming interrupted Baili Wuji's thinking and asked.

"Hmm...... Then let the people be disbanded, and give them their rewards, and let them go home. As for the rebel prisoners who were serving hard labor, Xu Xiang came to see that he also planned to widen another horizontal official road, from Yi, Liu, Zhao, He, and Lian to Shaozhou. At the same time, in the event of a rebellion, the Black Flag Army and the Forbidden Army can reach any state within a few days, and the cavalry of the Special Operations Army can reach the local area to quell the chaos as soon as possible. What does Xu Xiang think? Baili Wuji pointed to the map and said to Xu Shiming.

Xu Shiming didn't understand why the lord had a soft spot for merchants, he was born as a literati and still had a congenital resistance to merchants, but the speed of army mobilization that Baili Wuji said still made Xu Shiming's heart move, and the stability of the regime is the first, and there is no stability where can the development come from.

"The king is reasonable, so I will arrange it."

"Xu Xiang is slow, pass on the king's order, if the rebel captives can complete the widening of this road as soon as possible, this king will pardon their treason and let them return to their hometown."

"Yes."

……。

The political and agricultural reforms that Chu began to promote last year are beginning to show results.

In addition to planting crops such as raw rice, sweet potatoes are also planted in barren land, and at the same time, the multi-level breeding of planting, breeding and fishery has begun to take effect, and more and more people have begun to consciously develop this method. The people's homes began to have surpluses, and the efficiency of officials increased dramatically.

From ancient times to the present, the Qingming of officialdom has been the driving force for rapid economic development.

However, the territory of the former Southern Han Dynasty, which had just been incorporated into the territory of the Chu State, once again attracted blood.

This is the law of a hundred miles of unscrupulous, and it has become a habit.

Every time you conquer a place, once you stand firm, you will purge a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which is a way to redistribute benefits with power, but the biggest beneficiary group is the people, Baili Wuji needs the support of this group, with their support, the regime can be stable, and the people of Tanzhou spontaneously defend the city, which is to let Baili Wuji gain firm confidence.

However, this campaign was launched by Yun Yang, the commander of the First Army.

There is no suitable candidate to be sent in Baili Wuji's hands, and he temporarily ordered Yun Yangquan to know the palace.

Yunyang has implemented this campaign well.

When the results came, even Baili Wuji was shocked.

Eleven sons of the former Southern Han Emperor Liu Yan were killed, and the Liu clan perished. Cheng, Lun, Hou, Xin, Qin, En, and Jing were beheaded and decided. Of the 673 officials at all levels in 17 states, 426 were executed, and the rest were imprisoned.

Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian and other six governors and many officials jointly requested that Yun Yang be punished.

Baili Wuji was helpless, and ordered Yun Yang's position as the king of Quanzhixing and severely reprimanded him for introspection.

But Xingwangfu is the original capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it can't be without the history of thorns, looking around, Baili Wuji takes a fancy to one person, Zhou Zong.

Now that the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty are in danger, they urgently need a person with political experience and a certain amount of influence to appease them, and there is no more suitable candidate than Zhou Zong.

When Baili Wuji was nominated, the other five counselors all agreed, only the party Zhou Zong refused.

His reason was that he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of his family when he went to Xingwang's Mansion.

After hearing this, Baili Wuji probably understood what he meant, and it turned out that Zhou Gong was also afraid of his wife.

After repeated persuasion, it was not until the order that the prince agreed to concurrently serve as the governor of the Xingwang Mansion for three years.

June 19.

The king of Chu ordered Zhou Zong, the governor of the government, to concurrently serve as the governor of the Xingwang Mansion and immediately went to his post.

Baili Wuji planned to invest the five million taels of silver compensated by the Southern Tang Dynasty into two shipyards in Xingwangfu and Zhenzhou to make enough warships and merchant ships. However, Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian and others unanimously opposed, and after some bargaining, it was finally determined that 3 million taels would be used for shipbuilding, and 2 million taels would be put into the state treasury for economic development.
