Chapter 194: Reward

This point is not a pure sycophant of Lu Wan.

At the beginning, Qi Jingtong was also Lu Wan's subordinate, but Lu Wan didn't care much about Qi Jingtong at the beginning. Today, I learned that Qi Jingtong has a unique talent.

This time the conquest of the Big-bellied tribe can be said to be Lu Wan's control of the overall situation, and the specific affairs are all taken down by Qi Jingtong.

Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "It seems that Qi Dashuai's father is also a good general, does this mean that if there is a son, there must be a father?" ”

The art of war is not overdue. Zhu Houhuang said: "Let him report the list of meritorious personnel." Alone and accurate. ”

Zhu Houhuang's heart turned, rewarding merit is a big thing, if it is done well, it can naturally stimulate the morale of the army, and if it is not done well, it can also affect the morale of the army.

Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "It just so happens that the pro-army wants to expand the army, and all the personnel who have made meritorious contributions this time will be pulled into the pro-army, which will not only reward merit, but also expand the pro-army." ”

Zhu Houhuang also can't say a trace of secrets. Perhaps because of the influence of his previous life, Zhu Houhuang has always been unswervingly committed to expanding his influence in the army.

The government can be long-history, or the prime minister, but the army must be the royal family, which is an unspoken rule that Zhu Houhuang did not say.

The biggest problem with rewarding merit is Lu Wan and Qi Jingtong.

Lu Wan naturally doesn't need to mention it, Zhu Houhuang and Lu Wan talked at night, it can be said that they have already appreciated, from today on, Lu Wan can be said to have officially become the prime minister in the long history of Yongguo and Zhu Houhuang's heart. He presided over all the government affairs of Yongguo and Yongnan and Yongbei, and all the government affairs of seven or eight counties, together with the transfer of county soldiers. and other matters are all decided by Lu Wan. Even Zhu Houhuang would not bypass Lu Wan to interfere in these affairs.

This is Lu Wan's reward. His reward is power.

And Qi Jingtong's reward, Zhu Houhuang also has a knot in his heart.

Because Qi Jingtong is Lu Wan's old department, in this battle, it can also be seen that Qi Jingtong can be said to be obedient to Lu Wan. Zhu Houhuang wanted to transfer Qi Jingtong into the pro-army.

Zhu Houhuang didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but he dared to guarantee that among his pro-army, it was his diehard. Qi Jingtong is in the pro-army, and he can't do anything.

But Zhu Houhuang immediately overturned this idea.

It's not that Lu Wan can be trusted, but Lu Wan wants to do things.

It is not as monolithic as in the pro-army, and in the government, there are all kinds of factions. And Lu Wan almost parachuted down, without any team, and then transferred Qi Jingtong away, wouldn't it make it more difficult for Lu Wan to do things?

Zhu Houhuang thought for a while before deciding, and he said to Lu Wan: "General Qi has made a great contribution. According to Qi Jingtong's time in Shandong, he lived in a small county lieutenant place, which was Qu Cai, and now he has this great achievement, appointed as the lieutenant of Yongnan Mansion, and classified the Protector Army as the jurisdiction of Yongnan Mansion, so that General Qi has to think more about it. ”

Now the two prefectures of Yongnan and Yongbei in Dongyong are almost an empty shelf. Many things are directly under the jurisdiction of the Yongwang Mansion, and there is no need to go through the government. The real power is at the county level.

However, Zhu Houhuang definitely didn't want to play in the mud all the time on Dongyong Island, so such a framework was set early. Prepare the filling little by little.

According to Lu Wan's action plan, his action is to start from the governance of Yongjiang, and a large number of county soldiers will be mobilized, so that Qi Jingtong will become the lieutenant of Yongnan Mansion, in charge of county soldiers in various places, and assist Lu Wan's action.

In particular, it was pointed out that in the government-level government designed by Zhu Houhuang, there were no government soldiers. There may be in the future. But now it is only an organization that coordinates the soldiers of various counties and counties and guides training, and there are no soldiers in hand, so Zhu Houhuang expanded the captain of the Hufan that Lu Wan had just set up into the Hufan Army, which was personally managed by Qi Jingtong.

That is to say, when the county soldiers at all levels were put into the project, Qi Jingtong led the escort army to protect the safety of Yongnan Mansion.

Zhu Houhuang also had a trace of worry in his heart, in this way, the strength of the entire Yongnan Mansion was under the control of Lu Wan and Qi Jingtong.

This is also the reason why Zhu Houhuang must expand his own soldiers.

Zhu Houhuang sighed in his heart.

It's not easy to be a king. If you want people to do things, you can't help but give power. If the power given to him is small, things can't be done, and the power given is great, and there is a suspicion that Tai'a is holding on to it, you must know that this power is not something that can be taken back if you want to.

If you don't guard against it, what if he has a different heart? If he is on guard and let him know, he is afraid that he will not be able to feel at ease, what should he do if he has a different heart in order to protect himself?

This kind of way of being a king, a trade-off of interests. There has never been anyone who can teach, only little by little, in this regard, Zhu Houhuang does not feel that he is much stronger than the ancients.

Zhu Houhuang didn't mean to stay here longer. Zhu Houhuang found that Lu Wan was very proficient in many traditional affairs, but he was very unfamiliar with maritime affairs.

Therefore, the affairs of the sea cannot be put in charge by Lu Wan, and Zhu Houhuang must be in charge himself.

It has been more than 20 days since Zhu Houhuang was ready to send troops to conquer the Potbelly Tribe, and Zhu Houhuang had to go back to take charge of maritime affairs.

And the king doesn't see the king, he will always affect Lu Wan's authority here.

Lu Wan sent Zhu Houhuang out of the camp and said: "The terrain here is flat, and it is also a key road, and the minister is going to expand a county here, and he also asks His Royal Highness to give him a name." ”

"Oh." Zhu Houhuang looked around, although the surrounding trees were lush, but he could also see that it was a plain.

Moreover, this road that has just been built, Zhu Houhuang also knows that according to Lu Wan's meaning, it will be a big road that runs through the north and south, and it can be called a key road.

Zhu Houhuang thought for a while and said, "It's called victory here." Commemorate this great victory. ”

On the map of Dongyong, there is another county, but I don't know when this county will be filled.

After Zhu Houhuang left. Lu Wan immediately started working.

The means of recruiting people cannot last long, and it is just an experiment with the general mobilization planned by Zhu Houhuang. Now halfway through the service period, a pontoon bridge, dozens of miles of roads, and several wooden forts have been built. Lu Wan must not only arrange the work of these people, but also make preparations for the dismissal of the people.

There is also a reward for merit. Qi Jingtong is easy to say, but the list of soldiers and soldiers is a major matter, a delicate and trivial matter, which must be handled by Lu Wan.

There is also the matter of forming a protective army, how to integrate this barbarian into a soldier, and to ensure loyalty, Lu Wan said in front of Zhu Houhuang that he was not worried that the army would rebel. Lu Wan didn't dare to break his promise.

These many things must be handled by Qi Jingtong. Therefore, after a short time, Lu Wan summoned Qi Jingtong and asked Qi Jingtong to come back with the barbarians who surrendered.

Just when Lu Wan was busy in a mess. Zhu Houhuang also returned to Dayuan, just after returning to Dayuan. Wu Xingzhi brought bad news to Zhu Houhuang. When Zhu Houhuang saw it, he almost jumped up and said, "What? Massive reduction in the revenue of Japanese voyages? What's going on with Xu Dong? What does he eat? ”

There is no reason why Zhu Houhuang is not angry, and now Zhu Houhuang's finances are all supported by the income from the sea, of which the income from Japanese voyages accounts for a considerable part. Now Zhu Houhuang has just promised Lu Wan's grand water conservancy plan, and after the completion of this water conservancy plan, Dongyong will be built into a country of abundance in one fell swoop. When he was about to use the money, Xu Dong said that he couldn't have the money he should have. What should Zhu Houhuang do?

Wu Xingzhi, as Zhu Houhuang's household secretary, manages the money for Zhu Houhuang, naturally knows this, he explained to Xu Dong: "This can't be blamed on Xu Dong, His Royal Highness is opening a port in Penghu, offending the maritime merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but His Royal Highness has the support of Fujian sailors, and our sailors are not weak, so they dare not be presumptuous in the south, and now His Royal Highness wants to interfere in their traditional Japanese voyages." How can they live? ”

Indeed, before the arrival of Westerners, most of the traditional maritime merchants took the Japanese route. After the Westerners came, the gold content of the South Sea route rose rapidly. But the traditional maritime merchants did not know.

Zhu Houhuang grasped part of the Nanyang route, stood on the cusp of the times, and immediately made a lot of money. It's just that he made too much money, and even the Francosis couldn't help but rob him.

As a result, Zhu Houhuang's income on the Nanyang route has decreased significantly, which has attracted the attention of the Japanese route, but the Japanese route is also the main thing.
