It is also a reward for meritorious deeds at the New Year's Day banquet, but in the Jinling General's Mansion, it is a place of joy, except for some departments with poor performance, some sad faces, and some of the second-ranked horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, the atmosphere is peaceful.

Bai Tu had just received the news from Jingnan from Chen Gong at this time, and then Chen Gong would take 10,000 mountains to stay in Jingnan temporarily, and then return to Zhangling after March, which made Bai Tu's confidence sufficient.

In contrast, Xu Du had just received the "good news" from the General's Mansion to break Fuyang and dedicate Yuan Yao to Shouchun, and he was already a little unable to sit still, but he didn't know that Jingnan had also made progress!

In the past, the various tribes of Shanyue were in turmoil because of the loss of the two elites of the hooked snake and the singing snake.

The warriors of the other tribes, after the stragglers retreated, the tribes began to covet the territory of the Hooked Snake and the Singing Snake and the Yue Ji - at this time, the remnants of the two tribes, let alone subduing the other tribes, even found it difficult to protect themselves.

The headhunters who stayed behind in the two departments asked for help from the General's Mansion.

In order not to chill the advanced Shanyue group that "served" the general's mansion, Bai Tu had sent people to intervene in mediation before, and even directly sent troops to the garrisons of the two departments, so the other tribes did not act rashly for a while.

At the same time, Bai Tu was also worried about Chen Gong for a while......

At this time, seeing Chen Gong's recital, Bai Tu was completely relieved, not only Chen Gong was fine, but also half of the elite of the two parts were left.

In this way, Bai Tu will have more confidence in Shanyue, and then ...... "divide the soldiers into two ways" - women and children who lack the protection of young people, and young people who lack logistics and leaders, can all take advantage of the weakness...... Ahem, it is a target that can be used for humanitarian relief.

The General's Mansion sent troops to the two departments of Hooked Snake and Singing Snake, which existed as their "saviors" and "pillars", and naturally could help them elect new leaders out of humanitarianism; On the other hand, Chen Gong is in Jingnan, and he is also the "savior" and "gold master" of the headless half of Shanyue's elite, and three months is enough for Chen Gong to completely take care of them.

If three months is not enough, you can also take them to the Snake Repair Department to take revenge, adapt to the command of Chen Gong, and go home later - there is the protection of the General's Mansion at home, so you don't have to worry!

When the remaining half of the young men who obeyed Chen Gongyan came back and merged with the family that was very dependent on the General's Mansion, the basic Ming Snake and the Hooked Snake could already change their surnames to Bai, and the two could at least restore the most basic vitality, the General's Mansion did not have to worry, and if he rashly intervened in the Shanyue infighting, he would be trapped in the quagmire.

Wuxi people have Shamoke on one side, and Shanyue has two snakes and hook snakes, and promoting cultural integration is just around the corner.

As for the people of the snake cultivation department, the women and children left behind have already gone to the village, and they don't know where to hide, after all, in the mountains in the south, even the Shanyue people are not completely mastered.

The snake repair department was obviously prepared, and ...... Judging from some clues, it is possible that they are even approaching Lingnan, that is, the Jiaozhou area.

As for the elite led by the leader Wangkong, they were put into Jingnan by Mohuken before, and Chen Gong and Shamoke didn't know what he was thinking.

In addition to the Third Route Army that entered Jingzhou and the navy that expanded the sea route, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry also won a lot of praise at the New Year's Day meeting.

Not to mention how many new things the Ministry of Industry has pulled out, how many embankments have been repaired, how many bridges have been erected, how long of river silt has been cleared, and how many new keel waterwheels and overturned cars have been built this year...... It's all clearly presented.

After all, every quarter, you have to go down to the county to inspect the progress and evaluate the performance, and the Wanmin Book and the like are not popular at all, and only the actual performance is used as the judging standard, so it is obvious that there is still potential to be tapped in various places.

Of course, there is also the efforts of the household department behind this, after all, it is a lot of five baht money and grain that can be moved in various places.

It's just that a large part of the money and grain of the household department is also the benefit of salt and iron, and a large part of the credit of the Ministry of Industry, so it doesn't look very remarkable.

Also thanks to the Privy Council......

If the general's palace also maintains an extremely high ratio of military and civilian to civilians, like other princes, it is obvious that the people will not be able to squeeze the strength to do this.

In short, from the beginning of the increase in grain production, to the use of salt and iron, the effective collection of the poll (salt) tax, to ensure that the general's palace has money and food, coupled with the increase in steel production, and the popularization of new equipment, so that the Privy Council has the confidence to reduce the amount of conscription, and the people will not be weakened because of overdraft......

During the period, the Ministry of Rites' selection test, the recruitment hall, and even the township school and county school provided reserve forces are also an important guarantee.

Together, these canals, these dredging projects, and large areas of waterwheels that are now used for irrigation and can be used for hydroelectric development in the future, as well as those breeding cattle and pigs, have been squeezed out of the "gaps".

Bai Tu even toasted and wrote inscriptions at the New Year's Day banquet one by one...... It's just that Wang Lang is a little autistic.

Wang Lang, who was left last, was not blamed too much, or rather...... According to the performance evaluation system, Wang Lang's criminal department has been miserable enough this year, and there is no need to continue to blame now.

On the contrary, Bai Tu recognized Wang Lang's innovative ideas, admitted that the current work of the Criminal Department is difficult, and also attributed the responsibility to his own hastening, and at the same time, some of them were disappointed and puzzled...... Bai Tu finally fell on the "expectation" of Wang Lang.

It can be regarded as personally endorsing Wang Lang's new law innovation, supporting Wang Lang to continue to face difficulties, and especially mentioning the matter of the workshop.

Because Yangzhou, especially the two important centers of Jinling and Shouchun, a large number of private workshops began to appear, although the number of hired workers is still very small compared with the peasant households, and a large part of them are "part-time" in the leisure time, but it is indeed an expanding group.

Bai Tu also ordered the Criminal Department to visit the workshop diligently, and to have new adaptive laws for new groups.

For example, for the working time, we must have the courage to regulate it in the form of law, no more than six hours a day, and no less than two days a month.

In addition, the working environment of the workshop, as well as the regulations on how to divide responsibilities in the event of illness and injury during work, must also be introduced and implemented as soon as possible.

He even did not hesitate to tell the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to list the employment of the workshop as one of the criteria for cooperation inspection, and for workshops that violated the core concept of "benevolence and love for others", not only were sanctioned by the Ministry of Criminal Law, but also dragged into the blacklist of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.

Some people may have a complaint about the "nosy" of the General's Mansion, after all, the people who are now working in the workshop are all wealthy families, and most of the so-called hired workers are not hired, but have domestic slaves...... It's just that the deed of sale is not recognized by the General's Mansion now.

However, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, more than 70% of the productivity of the workshops that seem to be blooming everywhere is actually serving the Ministry of the People and the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry directly began to cooperate in control, and no one dared to bare their teeth, otherwise there would be no list for opening a workshop.

Of course, a large part of this is also due to......

Unlike the modern Western capitalists, the wealthy families themselves need to connect with their fellow villagers to maintain their popularity.

They prefer to "kidnap" the villagers as a bargaining chip when they confront the government, absorb nutrients and strengthen themselves over a long period of time, rather than relying on cooperation with the government, skinning and removing bones from the people, pursuing rapid accumulation, and having popular prestige and being worthy of ruling the world with the imperial court, otherwise it is just a meal on the plate of the imperial court.

Except for a small part of the hired homeless, who will be treated as one-time consumables, whether it is a domestic slave or a villager, the desire of the wealthy family to squeeze them is not as crazy as that of the capitalists.

However, if the resettlement of displaced people in the territory of the General's Mansion is unfavorable, the number of those who will be held accountable is very small......

What the Criminal Department has to do is just to prevent the slightest, after all, if you let it go, it will be a matter of time before there will be a change, but now it is not considered to be against the trend, although it will be hated, but it is not a huge resistance, and it is not as difficult as Wang Lang's current headache in criminal prosecution reform.

"There will be Lao Zhujun in the coming year, drink." Bai Tu raised his glass.
