The hot springs are indeed not expensive, but there are many cities, and the funds consumed are also more, and a few hundred gold go out directly, and they have not completely covered the city.

After a holy decree, the treasury funds were reduced by more than 600 gold.

As for the taxes for the whole winter, there was no such thing, almost all production was stopped during the winter, and there were no taxes to be paid at all, even many of the holy works, including the construction of roads and the construction of miracle buildings.

The most difficult thing is the border, and the soldiers guarding the border pass have poor conditions and few resources.

"Okay, Aiqing, do you still have a performance?"

"Your Majesty, this is a talent selected by various counties after inspection last month, please take a look."

Lin Xiangru handed over a piece of the fold, and not long after, after the little eunuch took the fold, a virtual box popped up in front of Ren Tian's eyes, and all the talents selected by the inspection system were on it.

Originally, the grassroots talents in the three counties of Xinguo were not bad, and they could ensure the effective operation of the decree, but the area of Pingyuan County is too large, and there are many cities, and there are more talents needed.

Ren Tian quickly picked it up, but all the talents who had reached the D-level were all thrown into the various counties of Pingyuan County, so that they could be trained and at the same time, they could also ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees.

Soon, the talents selected by the probation system this time were basically all distributed.

"Alright, so be it."

Whatever heaven chooses to confirm, a divine decree is generated.

After the election, the list of talents will be handed over to the imperial court, and then screened by the relevant official offices, and finally submitted to Ren Tian.

This can also be regarded as a limitation, and when the scale of the country is increased next time, the probationary system can evolve into the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and the number of talents will be more.

It's just that you don't need to think much about the disadvantages of the nine-product zhongzheng system, it is simply the hotbed of the family, if the nine-product zhongzheng system is adopted, I believe that the proportion of the family in the national class will expand wildly.

This model has been magnified in the Western Jin Dynasty, there are many families, a lot of rights, and they are directly chaotic, and the five chaotic flowers have a lot to do with these families.

Just take a look at what those families did in the Western Jin Dynasty, the first one, take pills, alchemy, and there is such a thing as Tianxiong juice in it, and eat heavy metals and neurotoxins to get the pleasure of "becoming an immortal".

Second, it is not easy to express, in short, it is "Emperor Hui Yuankang, the children of the noble tour are with each other in order to distribute the drink of the body, and the concubines are treated, and those who oppose them are injured, and those who are not are ridiculed."

Third, the grass cares about people's lives, whether it is a celebrity or a small person on the other side.

Fourth, it lures people from outside the country to rob and kill civilians.

If the Western Jin Dynasty family in that period is digitized, I believe that the proportion of the family should occupy more than 80% of the national class!

The power, wealth and power of the entire country are concentrated in the hands of those families, and it is not surprising that the country is ruined.

After dealing with another government affairs, Ren Tian asked again what government affairs were, but this time the courtiers in the hall were silent, and today's government affairs ended here.

"That being the case, everyone Aiqing retreats, winter is coming, everyone pay attention to keeping warm."

"Ministers, send your majesty."

After the end of the early dynasty, Ren Tian returned to the palace, ate the new dishes in the imperial dining room, and then went to the harem again, and played with Ban Jieyu and Ren Bao'er for a while.

……

Plains County, Barbarian County.

Previously, as the easternmost city of the Lieguo, Manxian bordered the mountain and forest tribes of the Barbarians, and was forcibly sent by the Lieguo to guard the city by soldiers from neutral countries, but now, Manxian County is under the control of the soldiers of the New Kingdom.

The barbarian county is not big, it is not a county seat, it should be regarded as a pass, and there are no people in it, all of them are soldiers of the new country.

In the simple wooden houses built in the city, the steaming wood burns, and the heat is dissipated, making the whole house look less cold.

Outside the house, there was a crackling sound, and the shadow of hail could be seen from the closed windows.

"It's cold."

"yes, why is it so cold this winter."

These soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to rest, they all gathered around the fire, the armor on their bodies was cold and cold, standing guard outside, the armor looked extremely heavy, all cold, and the cold seemed to be able to penetrate the bone marrow.

Wait until you take it off and put it in the room, and there will even be droplets of melted water from the armor.

"I wish this winter was over soon."

"It's such a cold day, the barbarian tribe in the mountains and forests shouldn't come out, right?"

"Definitely won't come out, what are they doing when they come out on such a cold day, they basically freeze to death as soon as they come out."

"Go over and go over and let me squeeze it."

Another soldier approached, spitting a chill from his mouth.

Meng Ben also sat on the side, and he also put on thick clothes, mainly fur clothes.

"General Meng, you are too good to eat, you have eaten a whole leg of lamb at noon yesterday."

Meng Ben smiled innocently: "It's okay, when you become a general, you can eat like me." ”

The rest of the soldiers were a little envious, but the food in Manxian County was not bad, and the corresponding supplies were sent over from Lie County, and every few days, a cow or a sheep could be slaughtered.

As for the usual time, they eat coarse grains, which are cold and hard, and at most they are accompanied by a bowl of hot soup, and the so-called hot soup is just some vegetable leaves floating on top of the clear water.

In winter, there are very few vegetables.

At this time, the wooden door of the room was pushed open, and with a hula, the surging cold wind blew directly from outside, freezing cold, and the group of soldiers crowded in the room couldn't help but tremble.

"Hey, close the door, you want to freeze us to death?"

"Hurry in."

But what he didn't expect was that the soldier said in a hurry: "Hurry up, the barbarians are attacking the city." ”

"What?"

One soldier suspected that he had misheard: "Are you not mistaken, on such a cold day, in such bad weather, they are still attacking the city?" ”

"That's right, hurry up and put on your armor and go out, General Tian is at the head of the city."

Those soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and Meng Ben reacted very quickly, directly grabbed the armor and put it on, and then went out of the wooden door.

The rest of the soldiers also reacted and immediately put on their armor.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and defend the city!"

"Really, those barbarians are crazy, and they actually took advantage of this time to attack the city?"

When the soldiers were dressed, they all went out with their weapons, and as soon as they pushed the door open, the whistling hail fell unfatally, although it was not the size of a fist, but it was also the size of a walnut, and it was all clanging when it hit the body.

And in the eyes of the barbarian county, it is really white, stepping on the ground, some cattle and sheep that have been enclosed are trembling inside, and a lot of hail has smashed into the sheepfold.
