Wiping the sweat on his head, Zhang Yun went up to the third floor satisfied.

In this era, there was no elevator, and he was out of breath when he was tired in the office, after all, he was old a year ago.

As soon as he sat down for a while, Zheng San hurried over.

"What, scared?"

"It's a little bit, it's still the prime minister. ”

Zheng San really admired Zhang Yun, and in less than half a day, he tied the three major things to a rope and did it in a unified manner, which is really amazing.

"The intention to donate is nearly 20 million, and the lower officials want to return some back, but they didn't expect them to be in a hurry, and they want to reason with the lower officials with red eyes, but they have never seen this meeting. ”

Thinking of the hot scene just now, Zheng San had palpitations, and he had never seen anyone who almost died in order to send money.

"Aren't you seeing it now? Zhang Yun teased, although he didn't say it, he still secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Zheng San only smirked, and after laughing, he was habitually silent, so Zhang Yun asked, "If you have something, just say it." ”

Zheng San then said: "The Sun family of Xishan mentioned the old matter of the pedestrian street again, His Majesty promised to invest 500,000 yuan, and now people are reasonable. ”

Everyone in the Government Council knows that Chen Cheng and Donghe have never mentioned the money, if it weren't for the trouble of Sun's son today, maybe they would have to wait until one day to think about it, and the money of the Shangmeng is not in the hands of the government.

His Majesty agreed to this matter, but when he was in danger, his Sun family stood by and watched, although he compensated for a lot of land, but after all, there was a disagreement. Now that the sea trade business has given him a piece of the pie, he is not satisfied, and he is really insatiable. ”

After several twists and turns, things have become complicated, and right and wrong are cut and sorted out and messy.

"Then, wait for His Majesty to come back and make a decision?" Zheng San asked tentatively.

It stands to reason that Zheng San has the right to speak on investment and construction projects, but strictly speaking, this is a matter for the Ministry of Commerce, and it is not the turn of the Ministry of Construction to dictate. Zheng San was also entangled by Sun's son when he accepted the donation, and was forced to ask about it, so he didn't care much, so he came directly to ask for an understanding.

"It still needs to be built, but Your Majesty may push it back for a year and a half. Zhang Yundao.

Zheng San thought for a while and said: "It's possible, we still have so many things to do, if it weren't for the abundant labor, the land on the side of the West River wouldn't be able to start construction for three or five years." ”

Zhang Yun continued: "It's true, but it's not the main reason. ”

As for what the main reason was, Zhang Yun didn't say, and Zheng San didn't dare to ask.

"You go and tell him that they will repair the road in Xishan first, and your Ministry of Construction will go to a few technicians to help them plan it. ”

Zheng San got the letter and went back to the conference room.

"Your Majesty has been absent for half a year, and even the minister knows how to drill the camp. ”

Zhang Yun came to the balcony and quietly watched the endless flow of people, this is the scene that those of them have been looking forward to all their lives, this prosperous world is finally as he wishes.

In order to protect the peace and tranquility in front of him, he did not hesitate to make enemies of anyone and pay any price.

"Someone. ”

The door opened, and in came the members of the Security Section.

"Prime Minister. ”

"Give this handwritten letter to General Wang Yu of the military department, I want to see him. ”

The guard's heart tightened when he took the letter, he was sure that it was His Majesty's handwriting, and they were all trained in this area, and they recognized it at a glance.

"Go ahead, it can't be fake. Zhang Yun said with a smile.

This was a letter that Wang Xuan left for him when he left, and with this he could ask the military to help him do things within the scope of his principles.

Sure enough, before it was time to get off duty, a few fast horses came in front of the government affairs center.

This was not common in the past, and the military people were relatively low-key.

Wang Yu took a few personal soldiers upstairs and directly entered Zhang Yun's office.

"Let's go to the defense department. After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

The Security Section was built with Wang Xuan's internal guard as the skeleton, aiming to guard the security of the Government Council and protect the members of the cabinet.

The security department made room for the two of them, and when the door was closed, the two of them were left in the room.

"General, I've been restless lately, and I always feel that something big is about to happen. After thinking about it, the surrounding environment is a favorable trend, and His Majesty's sentinels have no bad news, and the only possibility is the south. ”

What's in the south?

Your Majesty!

This is a big event for auspiciousness.

Wang Yu stood up and stared at Zhang Yun for a long time before sitting down again.

"You are in charge of the army, I am in charge of the government......"

Zhang Yun was only halfway through his words, and the sharp command knife had already reached his neck, and the shiny knife surface was glowing with a cold light, reflecting his clear white beard.

"General don't be anxious, don't be anxious, this is the difference between what I just said that you are a military general and I am a civil minister. ”

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly, there was ambiguity in his words, and he thought of it after speaking, blaming himself for being too anxious.

The knife was still on the neck, and there was no sign of moving away.

"Zifeng brought a lot of news from the Southern Continent last time, and a lot of it describes the invaders, who are our biggest threat.

Those commodities are afraid that they have already passed on to the past, either the two sides have already made an enmity, or the other party is preparing to make a feud.

Although there were twenty-nine ships in the past, in addition to the goods, there were people and craftsmen, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers.

Once the two sides start a war, we have to stick to the path of waiting for reinforcements, which is too passive.

As far as I know of Your Majesty, whether you stay behind to defend the city or return with the fleet, this account will be settled. ”

Zhang Yun almost didn't say that Wang Xuan was a retribution.

"We're outsiders there, and it's going to be very difficult to resupply, so we can't wait for the results to come into play. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yucai slowly put away the command knife and sat down again.

Zhang Yun shook his head, he was scared just now, he was afraid that Wang Yu would not listen to the explanation and click him.

"So how are you going?" asked Wang Yu.

"Recruitment. ”

"Isn't it necessary to recruit a batch of them?" Wang Yu suspected.

"Yes, the invaders were able to enslave nearly 10 million people for more than 10 years, and they must have extraordinary means. Although we are not afraid, we can't afford it when there are fewer people. ”

Wang Yu knew that it would take about fifty days to go back and forth, and if the battle situation was tight, the daylily would be cold when the reinforcements arrived.

The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that Zhang Yun said.

It would be fine if His Majesty came back with the ship, but if he stayed behind to defend, he really didn't dare to think about going down.

"Next time, you can't let Your Majesty mess around. ”

After Wang Yu left such a sentence, the person had already gone outside.

The next day, the auspicious military recruitment notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys, and there was no urban management in these years, even if they were afraid, they didn't dare to reveal it.

After half a year, Jixiang recruited soldiers for the second time, and the frequency was much higher in peacetime.

Fortunately, the auspicious internal and external environment is good, and no one doubts the motive of auspicious recruitment.

However, unlike in the past, this recruitment is limited to mascots and quasi-mascots, which disappoints many people.

There are many quasi-mascots, they have lived in Jixiangqiu for a period of time, and have earned a lot of contribution points, as long as they are willing to survive, they can become new mascots sooner or later.

This recruitment gave those young people the opportunity to join the army alone, and the whole family was honored.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and in just three or five days, more than 10,000 people had signed up.

The total population of the six towns in one city, two districts and two districts has exceeded 3 million, and the floating population alone is nearly 1 million.

The soldiers are extremely sensitive to this matter, but their good professional ethics, excellent military literacy, and loyalty to Wang Xuan and Jixiang have made them deaf and blind, in addition to training or training.

The holidays of the navy, army, and air force were all canceled, and emergency training began to be carried out.

This training is different from the past, not only the time is long, but also the intensity is great, everyone has been prepared in their hearts, and Jixiang has not really been peaceful over the years.

Subsequently, the supply of military supplies was extremely smooth, there was no shortage of melons, fruits, vegetables, chickens, fish, meat, and eggs, the army canteen had been changed into a buffet, and the Qin Dynasty of the logistics department also made every effort to meet the needs of officers and soldiers.

Even two sets of so-called winter clothes have been prepared, and orders from garment factories, tanneries, hardware factories, Aiji vegetables, and Hudong food processing factories have been thrown like snowflakes.

Other businesses didn't dare to be angry or speak, but fortunately, more than one was postponed, and the loss was not big.

The government is also openly and covertly biased in favor of the military and gives the green light, so that no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.

On 20 November, Zhang Yun persuaded Qing'er and the eldest princess to place an order for 20 Type 2 warships and 30 Type 2 transport ships to the Xingyao Bay Military Shipyard in the joint name of Xiangyuan, the Government Council, and the military.

This is not a type of ship, more than a star and a half powerful.

The skeleton is made entirely of steel, which is at least half made up by weight.

The keel is poured and then forged by a tower crane.

The second-grade steel is used as the ribs, the third-grade steel is used as the ribs, and the fourth-grade steel bars are used as flesh and blood, and the ribs and tendons are tightly tied together.

The joints were then poured to death with molten steel, and in some places even riveted.

If it weren't for the cost, the shipyard would have wanted to build a brand new steel battleship, and Wang Xuan had a soft spot for that thing, but he was worried about the lack of power.

Subsequently, the auspicious Ministry of Commerce signed a linen purchase agreement with Xishan and Sunset Erling, and signed a black lacquer purchase agreement with Sunset Ling, with a total value of more than one million.

According to the traveling merchants, this flax was enough to cover the auspicious land.

On November 25, Xishan Iron Mine and Dongshan Iron Mine (the intersection of Xinbei and Hudong Dongshan) began to expand, and the production capacity is expected to double, which is planned to take one month.

This led directly to the reduction of the production capacity of the carriage factory by half.

In addition, Jixiang buys a large amount of steel scrap at a price of more than 10%, melts it down and makes steel.

Someone seemed to smell something strange from it.

So it wasn't long before all sorts of gossip spread.

Some people say that auspiciousness wants to open up the land to the north, and this palm-sized place is not auspicious enough, which makes Zhao Shengrui insomnia all night.

Some people say that Jixiang encountered a strong enemy in the Southern Continent and wanted to increase his troops, which made the Sun family lose a lot of weight.

It is also said that Jixiang has found a treasure and needs a large number of soldiers to guard it, which makes more than 100 wealthy businessmen who have just funded the construction of the New Song Dynasty cry wolf for a while, and they are so excited that they seem to have drunk two or two dreams of auspiciousness.

So many things are different, there are all kinds of things, but the auspicious government and the military are just boring things and never give a word, which is very different from the past, so the message spread more violently.

As a direct result of this, a number of people formed expeditions to order seagoing vessels from civilian shipyards in the Bay Area, intending to try their luck on the outings.

Don't say any treasures, just transport something outside and earn a lot of gold coins, and it's a fool who doesn't love money.

And auspiciousness did not restrict them from going to sea, but the conditions for going to sea were more harsh.

Those who go to sea to trade without permission will be subject to a tax of 50 percent, and as long as they leave the bay area wharf, whether they live or die, this is on average three or four percent higher than the customs tax.

If it is fishing, it will be charged 20% of the fishing tax when it returns, and there are other regulations.

Still, the merchants and gamblers who dreamed of making a fortune were confident, and the order for ships was getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone knows that even if the tax is higher, the profit is still considerable, and then sail behind the auspicious third wave of trade fleets, safe and worry-free, and you can master the route after one run.

When you get to the destination, you can buy some sales from the mascot, and if you are lucky, you can also earn several times the profit at a time, which is much stronger than in Xingyao.

In addition, it is not possible to see the exotic scenery of other places, which alone attracts many investors.

But the reality is a bit cruel, and when they place an order and pay a deposit, they find that they can't recruit sailors.

After careful inquiry, it turned out that most of them entered the Jixiang River Fleet and became the reserve of the Jixiang Navy.

And they can steal people from the military? It's much better than private sailors.

If nothing else, the auspicious household registration alone is overwhelming.

If it weren't for the fact that these businessmen were afraid of death, they would have run away to become soldiers.

At this point, they had to turn their attention to the inland market.

It is impossible to recruit people by themselves, first, they are not professional enough to recruit outstanding talents, and second, they are not good at signboards, and no one believes them.

In the end, this batch of business was handed over to various intermediaries of Jixiang.

When it comes to intermediaries, whether they are locals or outsiders, they only believe in auspiciousness, which starts with Wei Wei's human resources reform.

When intermediaries first emerged, there were many followers in the mainland, and they were also popular for a while.

However, with the gradual deepening of Wei Wei's human resources reform, the functions of intermediaries have become more and more standardized and professional, and auspicious intermediary enterprises have shown unparalleled competitive advantages.

On the other hand, it is not uncommon for intermediaries in Daxia to cheat and cheat, because they make the most money in this way, and in their eyes they only have money and no conscience.

The rulers of Great Xia are the first wave of beneficiaries of these intermediaries, who will stop it, and who is willing to stop it?

However, not all intermediaries are liars, coincidentally, there is an intermediary company called 'Moon' that is doing well, the management level is no worse than the auspicious, and the business is booming, which is a clear stream of the current industry in Daxia.

Later, after checking the auspicious military, they found out that this was the property of the Moon Princess, so they let it develop.

Nowadays, whether it is a businessman or a skilled worker, or a simple common man, a worker, a high-ranking official, a scholar, or a peddler and pawn, they all strive to become a mascot, and they are all proud to be a mascot.

In this environment, the most reluctant to have an accident is this kind of person, who has become a strong backing for auspiciousness.

If you look closely, they actually account for as much as ninety percent, and the rest are left with those landlords, old wealth, squires and nobles, and the royal family, how auspicious it is.
