It is already the early winter, but a winter rain has fallen in Tianjing City, the cold north wind in the dripping rain makes people feel a kind of depressed haze, the thick clouds have not dispersed for several days, the rain is poured on the ground, it will condense into ice after a freeze at night, and the bluestone road in Tianjing City is very slippery.

Pushing open the window and looking out, the sky was still dark and hazy, and Han Baoying's mood was even more depressed, she was working in the women's hall these days. In the Tianjing Incident, many women became helpless, and the death of many soldiers in the East Hall caused many mothers to lose their sons and how many wives lost their husbands, so the women's pavilion in the city began to accept and take care of them.

After the king of the West entered Tianjing, he began to implement the reform of Sufu Province, and the sacred treasury would gradually stop distributing money and grain in the form of big pot rice within a few months, and eventually the sacred treasury would be officially changed into a national treasury like Sufu Province. The civil and military officials, soldiers and soldiers in Tianjing City have begun to receive salaries and salaries according to their ranks, while the people no longer need to hand over all the grain, money and goods obtained from production to the holy treasury, pay grain for farming, and pay commercial taxes for business.

The king of the west restored the private ownership of Tianjing City, and the fields that were originally divided near Tianjing City were still divided as before, and the west hall did not make major changes in the land, but only re-issued the title deed, recognizing the private ownership of the land, but the land that was distributed was strictly forbidden to be bought and sold.

Many of the families of the soldiers who died in the East Temple did not have land, they were soldiers of the East Temple, and many of them lived on the money and food provided by the Holy Treasury. Since these soldiers were soldiers of the East Temple, they could not be supported and compensated according to the regulations on the death of soldiers in the West Temple, and the West Temple only took out a sum of money from the Holy Treasury. A one-time pension was given to tens of thousands of families who had died of men, but the money would always run out.

So the Household Department, the Ministry of Industry and the subordinate Civil Affairs Department of the West Hall began to arrange the way out for these people, the old people did some work within their capacity under the arrangement of the Old and Young Pavilion, the children were ready to enter the school opened by the West Hall in Tianjing, and the women were concentrated in the Women's Hall.

In the past few days, Han Baoying, Hu Jiumei and other female officials have been in the women's hall, and they have not done anything else these days, just to register the women among the female officials. At the same time, the female soldiers of the women's battalion must also be registered.

What made Han Baoying unhappy was that there were rumors that King Xi would disband the women's battalion in Tianjing, and there would be no more female battalion soldiers to kill the enemy in the future, and the female battalion soldiers would be diverted to the Logistics Division, the Public Opinion Propaganda Division, the Rescue Hall and other non-combat divisions. She also asked the king of the west. King Xi's answer was very simple, in the future, the West Temple would not let female soldiers go to battle, unless all the men of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom died.

What a domineering, unreasonable man! The more Han Baoying thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and she couldn't stop grabbing the bonsai by the window with one hand. Soon the branches and leaves of the bonsai were stripped away.

"Four girls. The King of the West asked you to come over. A West Hall attendant came to pass the word, Han Baoying scolded a few words in a hateful whisper, but he still walked out of the house in full clothes, what did this man want to do?

The West King did not live in the Heavenly Palace, he still lived back in the West Palace, the Heavenly Palace, which is now only used as a place to discuss the government, and the West King has not officially ascended the throne, so he still lives in the West Palace.

Come to the study of the West Palace. The king of the west was writing hard, and after hearing the report of the senator. He didn't raise his head and said, "Baoying, you sit down first, and there are still two sentences to write." ”

Han Baoying's pretty face was not polite, sat aside, Xiao Yungui handed over to the thin book on the side after finishing writing: "Immediately hand it over to Zuo Xiang, let the Ministry of Industry organize and implement it immediately, only the location of the silk reeling factory let Zuo Xiang think about it again, uh, you don't need to pass on this, I wrote it all on it." Bo Shu took the official document and turned around.

Xiao Yungui took out an official document from the pile of official documents, stepped forward and said to Han Baoying: "This is an official document issued by the Ministry of War on the abolition of the Tianjing Women's Battalion, how to settle the female soldiers after the dismissal has been arranged, you take it down and implement it, and I will ask Hu Jiumei and a few female officers to help you later." ”

Han Baoying's face was cold, and she stood up with a small face and said angrily: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, the soldiers and horses of the women's battalion were also born and died to fight for the Kingdom of Heaven, do you say that they will be abolished now?" Have you read the petition presented by our women's camp? That's everyone's voice! ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and frowned, "I've read it, you can read the official document first." ”

Han Baoying opened the official document angrily, looked at it at a glance and ten lines, and looked at Xiao Yungui with some surprise after seeing the most reluctant. Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "I can keep some of the female battalion soldiers, but they must be voluntarily left as female soldiers, and they must also be literate." The selected qualified female soldiers will be arranged to be re-trained at the Shanghai Martial Arts School, and after the training, they will be assessed by the assessment standards of male soldiers. ”

Xiao Yungui smiled very sinisterly, he knew that many women in the women's camp didn't want to be female soldiers for the rest of their lives, they would remove a large part of them when they were screened in the first way, and then some people would be removed from literacy, and then some people would be removed from the training and assessment of Shanghai Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and the remaining female soldiers were almost not enough to form a force, so where would they still need to form a women's army?

Han Baoying didn't think about it so much, a smile finally bloomed on her face, and she happily stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yungui's hand and said, "Xie Lu Xie Xi, I'm going now." After finishing speaking, he realized that he had actually pulled the big hand of King Xi, and his face turned red at the moment, and he hurriedly ran away with his head down.

Xiao Yungui couldn't help but laugh, and Hong Yun'er, who had just entered the room, said strangely: "What are you laughing at?" And what happened to Bao Ying? His face was as red as a monkey's ass. followed Hong Yun'er and said with some displeasure: "Are you molesting other little girls again?" ”

Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly: "The conscience of heaven and earth, it is your husband who is being molested." After sitting back on the table, he said: "Recently, I have been really busy, Tianjing was the king of Dongwang at that time, they swept away industry and commerce, many craftsmen's workshops have become public, and commerce has withered, and it is really difficult to restore Tianjing's economy." ”

Hong Yun'er smiled faintly and said, "You can rest assured, as long as your preferential policies are implemented." The capital of Sufu Province will definitely flow to this side, and aren't the foreigners also ready to move? In fact, it is not difficult to readjust the economy, as long as there are interests. There will be capital. She paused and said: "On the contrary, it is not easy to reorganize the army, especially the Dongdian soldiers in Jiangxi have hundreds of thousands, which is really too huge." ”

Xiao Yungui took out an official document and said: "Yes, it's really a crowd tactic, everyone is called to be soldiers, and many soldiers are used as cannon fodder, which is a waste of manpower." The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs have jointly drawn up a charter. The plan to streamline Jiangxi's Dongdian Army is still the old rule and reorganized on the spot. The old and weak were eliminated, and then they were brought back to Shanghai for training in batches, and some of them were reorganized into Jiangxi's township corps to guard the localities. The others went home to farm. ”

Hong Yun'er sighed lightly and said, "It's going to cost money everywhere." The reform of the sacred treasury in Tianjing also costs a lot of money and grain, but fortunately, Jiangxi has not fully carried out the set of the holy treasury, and it is still the same as before, which is not a heavy burden. ”

Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "No, the civil affairs here in Jiangxi are as complicated, the squires and rich people are still there, and paying grain as usual is no different from under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, but Jiangxi has been through wars." After the depletion of the population, the contradiction between population and land was temporarily concealed. Moreover, Jiangxi's private capital is concentrated in the hands of the squire, which is not conducive to the promotion of the Sufu model, so in the next year, Jiangxi will still have to carry out land redemption, cultivated land clearing, redistribution, rent reduction and interest reduction, etc., which will cost the same money. However, Jiangxi is rich in products, so the pressure will be less. ”

Hong Yun'er nodded, looked at the documents piled up as high as a mountain on the side, and casually looked at a book and said, "Are these all seals for persuasion?" ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Yes, civil officials in Jiangxi, Sufu, Fujian, and Hubei have sent official stamps to persuade them, and even Shi Dakai's father-in-law, Huang Yukun, has also sent a persuasion form." ”

Hong Yun'er said with a faint smile: "It seems that our momentum and public opinion guidance are still very successful, so what do you think?" ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and stood up and walked a few steps and said: "In the past, when I didn't enter Tianjing, I always wanted to ascend the throne and become the emperor, but now that I have the conditions, I can't help but think again, is this really the best time to be the emperor?" ”

Hong Yun'er sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Xiao Yungui took out a piece of information and handed it over and said, "You have read the news of the accession of the little emperor of Tongzhi. ”

Hong Yun'er nodded, but didn't answer the information, "You forgot, I sent you this information, of course I've seen it." ”

Xiao Yungui said slowly: "It's no problem for me to be the emperor now, but what does it mean to be the emperor?" There are no two heavens and no two people, which means that after I become emperor, I must launch the Northern Expedition to crusade against the puppet emperor of Tongzhi. ”

Hong Yun'er already knew his thoughts, and said: "At present, the Hunan army in Hunan has not been solved, and the Northern Expedition is a very unrealistic thing, and he will be the emperor as soon as he enters Tianjing, are you afraid that the foundation will be unstable?" ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Yes, Dingnan Nine Provinces, and then the Northern Expedition, this is the established strategy, I plan to spend a year to completely pacify the Hunan army, Fujian has been almost integrated, and then you can go to Guangdong, at this time Britain and France and the Manchus declared war, they are also happy to see us occupy Guangdong." After pacifying the Hunan army, we can occupy Hunan, and then the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, so that the southern nine provinces are certain, and we can make a big northern expedition and decide the Central Plains in a war. At that time, presumably my foundation is also stable, and it is a matter of course to be called emperor again, in short, I think that the current emperor is too hasty, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. ”

Hong Yun'er snorted, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Have you discussed it with Zuo Xiang?" ”

Xiao Yungui bowed his head slightly and said: "Among the civil and military officials, there is no persuasion on the left minister, he only said that now only the king of the west is dominant in the kingdom of heaven, and he does not have the name of the emperor and acts as the emperor, why bother to correct his name?" Under the unstable foundation, forcibly becoming the emperor will only be criticized by others. ”

Hong Yun'er hummed thoughtfully and said, "Since this is the case, then let's not be the emperor for the time being." ”

Xiao Yungui smiled and took her into his arms and asked in a low voice, "What?" Can't be a queen, a little disappointed? ”

Hong Yun'er spat him and said, "I think it's Emperor Xiao, you can't open the harem again, and you're disappointed." ”

Xiao Yungui laughed dumbly, "Someone is jealous." Hong Yun'er broke away angrily and said: "Seriously, it's office hours, and it's not good to wait for a thin book to come in and see it." Xiao Yungui laughed a few times and asked, "By the way, what is the matter with your visit?" ”

"You guessed right, Hong Renfa took Hong Tianguifu to Hong Kong's Hong Renxuan, this uncle and nephew are really capable, and they can actually run to Hong Kong." Hong Yun'er took out Tong Qiangsheng's handwritten letter and said: "Tong Qiangsheng sent a letter asking how to deal with it. ”

Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment and said: "Bring people back to Shanghai secretly, even Hong Renxuan will come back with you, and I will meet them when I go back to Shanghai later, as long as Hong Tianguifu does not appear, there is no threat, it doesn't matter if I kill or not, Hong Renxuan is also a talent, I have to meet them." If I can let Hong Renxuan do things under my account, I can dispel the great doubts of the old department of the Heavenly King. ”

Hong Yun'er responded, and at this time, there was a caregiver outside the house who shouted happily: "It's sunny." Hong Yun'er pushed the window to look out, and sure enough, the sky was clear, and the warm sun shone down, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

"Ah, it's finally sunny, it's always cloudy these days, and I'm not in a good mood." Hong Yun'er muttered to herself, then looked back at Xiao Yungui and asked, "Is this a good sign?" We will one day be able to dominate the world! ”

Xiao Yungui put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "I must be able to, our Dingding Tianjing is the first step in Dingding Tianjing" (to be continued............
