As Ning Ze said, after the official document was issued, it did not cause any ripples in other states and counties, except for a wave of sensation in Huajun and the people discussed the matter one after another. Even the local county town of Jinzhou is very quiet, and the princes of all walks of life are thinking about the world, as for the bloodline of the first emperor that has long been forgotten, the existence of a small town in Huajun County does not care at all.

In other words, due to the royal family of Emperor You, all the most important ones were slaughtered by Liang Yi ant thieves, and the influence of the Dacheng royal family fell sharply, not to mention the first line of the emperor who had been forgotten for more than ten years.

It's like throwing a pebble in the middle of the sea, and the ripples quickly subside.

The people of Huajun were also surprised, and after that, they all returned to normal. Because for them, whether it is King Lingnan or Princess Yuanxi, there is not much difference. At least the royal family's attitude towards the people has not changed, and as long as the people can get by, nothing else matters, this is the style of simplicity.

The father and son of the Liang family were deeply shocked, and after dealing with Liang Chun's aftermath, they stayed at home for many days.

Ning Ze came to the door in person, and after a lot of effort, he finally persuaded them back, and he could be regarded as accepting Liu Yuanxiang, the princess of Yuanxi.

Liu Yuanxiang officially appointed Liang Teng as the Taishou of Huajun, Ning Ze as the military advisor and county commander, Liang Kai as the cavalry captain, Liang Jing as the chief official, Liang Yun as the superintendent of the post, and Liang Shun as the gong Cao Peng.

There are also countless vacant positions, which are filled by Taishou Liang Teng's recruitment of talents.

Ning Ze recommended Zhao Qing and Sun Yan, the sons of wealthy businessmen, as school captains, and the wealthy gentry Xiahou Lin as the thief Cao Peng, and Liu Yuanxiang all agreed.

Liang Teng promoted his clansmen Liang Ling, Liang Dong, Liang Jing, and Liang Hao, and served as the chief bookkeeper, literary sacrificial wine, Hu Cao, and Song Shi Peng respectively.

There are people on top in several main positions, and the pressure is slightly reduced.

Liu Yuanxiang convened the civil and military officials to discuss the future strategy.

Ning Ze, as a military advisor, was arranged on the table on the right side of Princess Yuan Xi, and Taishou Liang Teng was on the left.

In the era of respecting the left, as the main public army division, Ning Ze should have highlighted his status on the left side. However, considering Liang Teng's self-esteem, Ning Ze took the initiative to choose the right.

Then there are two teams of civil and military officials, the civil officials are on the left side, and the military generals sit on the right.

All sat down, Liu Yuanxiang looked around at everyone and said, "This king...... The main purpose of this palace is to discuss the meeting today, mainly to formulate a strategy. ”

She is still used to using 'this king', and it is not so easy to change her words, after all, she has been like this since she was a child.

In fact, women's clothing is not used to wearing it, and they are still trying to adapt.

Speaking of this, Ning Ze admired it very much.

After a slight pause, he continued: "What to do next, you may as well express your opinions!"

Liang Teng said with a smile: "The seventh lord visited Mijiang to find a virtuous one, why don't you ask the military advisor what his opinion is?"

Because everyone is not used to calling the princess, and Liu Yuanxiang herself doesn't like it, so after discussion, they will call the lord in a unified manner.

At this time, Liang Teng did not deliberately make Ning Ze ugly, after the previous events, he also knew that Ning Ze had some skills, as for whether he could take on military responsibilities, whether it was appropriate for Princess Yuan Xi to appoint him as a military advisor, only after trying it would be known, and it could be regarded as giving Ning Ze a chance to prove it.

Liu Yuanxiang turned to Ning Ze, but in fact, his heart was also empty. Although he successfully recruited Ning Ze, it was said that he was a little angry, and he only visited the Mijiang military camp seven times. Ning Ze boasted about Haikou before, saying that he wanted to dedicate the sixteen states of the world to himself, but he was also hot-headed at that time, and he took it seriously.

Whether he is really capable or not needs to be tested slowly.

Facing the gazes of Liu Yuanxiang and the civil and military officials below, Ning Ze replied with a smile: "Lord, the city of Huajun has been damaged after repeated battles, and the people's hearts are fluctuating. In my opinion, we should immediately begin to repair the city, pacify the people, and consolidate the city's defenses with internal affairs as the mainstay. ”

"But before the military advisor suggested that Liang Taishou defraud the three counties of Dan, Tong, and Wuduo, why don't you mention this matter now?" Liu Yuanxiang asked suspiciously.

"That's right, you didn't propose before, let me defraud the land of the three counties. Liang Teng was also curious.

"The lord and Liang Taishou, Ning Ze smiled and said, "The timing is not right, and the strategy must be changed at any time." Previously, it was suggested that Taishou deceive the three counties, because our army returned at the earliest, and the three counties had not yet received information, and it was easy to defraud the city at that time, and it was also the easiest time to control. However, Taishou did not listen to the advice of his subordinates, and insisted on returning to Huajun to fight with Liu Bao repeatedly, missing the best opportunity. Not to mention that the intelligence of the three counties will inevitably be sent back, and the front-line intelligence will inevitably be guarded against and a new master will be established. Our soldiers were badly damaged, and they could not recover in a short period of time, and they could not forcibly recruit civilians into the army again. ”

"Indeed!" Liu Yuanxiang sighed when he heard this, "This palace should think of the people." ”

Liang Teng was a little embarrassed, after all, when his father was in power, he forcibly conscripted the people, which led to him being called a Liang thief by his father in Huajun.

It's better now, and after returning to Princess Yuanxi, because of her benevolence and righteousness, she has also been forgiven.

"So now it's just to be honest?" Liang Kai asked.

"Building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king, this is the best plan at present!" Ning Ze replied.

"But the military advisor," Liu Yuanxiang frowned, "this palace is already a king...... The princess is not bad, is she?"

"Lord, this is just a statement!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "It means that you should rest and recuperate now." What's more, the talents under the main public account are withering, and Huajun is located in a remote area, and the population is not much, and it has suffered serious losses after several wars. First, it is necessary to consolidate the city's defenses and ensure that the walls are high and the city is solid; second, it is necessary to issue official documents to the county towns and even recruit displaced people to the surrounding counties and towns to enrich the population; and third, it is necessary to issue recruitment orders to recruit all kinds of talents. ”

"Recruitment order?" Liu Yuanxiang was a little worried, "The palace is out of Huajun, and no one pays attention to it at all." I'm afraid I won't get any talents......"

"The lord doesn't have to worry!" Ning Ze said, "You can send an official document to all states and counties to recruit wizards from all over the world, not limited to literature and martial arts, and those who think they have a skill and pass the assessment will be reused! Second, women can also be officials, but they can be used if they have a skill." ”

"It's not proper! It's a big inappropriate!" Liang Ling, the new chief bookkeeper, hurriedly said, "There is no restriction on literature and martial arts to recruit talents, and the lower officials agree to this." But a woman can also be an official, which is really against the norms, and it must not be!"

"You mean, as a woman, the lord shouldn't lead us to compete in the world?" Ning Ze asked with a smile.

"The lower official has no such intention! The lord is the daughter of the first emperor, and she is a princess, so she naturally ......."

"Master Liang's book, the so-called outline is often set by people. In ancient times, people did not know fire, so they only ate raw meat and fruits. The first person to make a fire and eat cooked food, is it against the so-called rules and morals?"

"The military advisor's words are wrong! When a person knows cooked food when he gets fire, it is progress. This woman is an official ......"

"This woman is also an official and progress!"

"Strategist, this is sophistry!"

"Then let me ask you, have you ever heard of these four words?"

"Naturally, I heard it. ”

"Do you think it makes sense?"

"Of course ......"

"Isn't this the end of it? As long as there is talent to learn, does it matter what else matters?"

"But a military advisor, a woman as an official will be a joke for the princes of the world!"

"Then hit him until he can't laugh!"

"......" Liang Ling was speechless, and said in his heart that this military division is too unreliable, right? Hey~ After all, so young, no wonder!

Turning his head to look at Liang Teng, he hoped that Taishou would say something.

Liang Teng looked at Ning Ze and did not speak.

Liu Yuanxiang felt that Ning Ze's words were very reasonable, but he also agreed with Liang Ling's words, this kind of thing is indeed difficult to be accepted, and it will really be laughed at by the heroes of the world when the time comes.

After thinking about it, in fact, after announcing his identity, the princes from all walks of life didn't seem to react, maybe they didn't need to take themselves too seriously, maybe people didn't bother to pay attention to you at all?

Seeing that Taishou did not speak, Liang Ling turned to other officials, hoping for support.

The problem is that the four brothers Liang Kai, Liang Jing, Liang Yun, and Liang Shun don't care, and even because they are close to Ning Ze, they tend to support him.

Because of their attitude, several Liang family officials next to them did not express their opinions.

On the other hand, the son of a wealthy businessman and gentry recommended by Ning Ze is, of course, on the same side as him.

Looking at the lord Liu Yuanxiang again, he also seemed to feel that Ning Ze's words made sense, and no one supported him at all.

That's right, no matter how young people are, at least they get along well with Taishou's father and son. Although he is also a member of the Liang family, he is not as valued as Ning Ze. This is not surprising, after all, the other party has offered advice to help the Liang family many times, and it is he who arranged for people to save the Liang family in Huajun City. Not to mention, assist in destroying Liu Bao and Yin Li to take revenge.

You must know that the current reconstruction funds of the Liang family also come from the family property that Liu Bao collected, although most of it is collected in the public treasury as Huajun treasury silver.

In addition, the lord Liu Yuanxiang visited him seven times before inviting him, this weight is definitely not comparable to himself!

Helpless, Liang Ling could only give up arguing, and said in his heart that he hoped that there would be no chaos because of this!

Liang Ling closed his mouth, and the others would not come out to refute Ning Ze. If he succeeds, it will be beneficial to Huajun, and if he fails, there will be no big loss, at most the lord will be ridiculed by the princes, and she doesn't care about herself, what can we do?

So Liu Yuanxiang accepted Ning Ze's suggestion and ordered to consolidate the city defense, maintain law and order, and pacify the people. At the same time, a recruitment order was issued to the counties in and around Hua County.

Ning Ze also suggested buying pigeons from the common people, and encouraged the people to catch wild pigeons and sell them to the government in exchange for a good reward.

Liu Yuanxiang and the civil and military officials of Huajun were very puzzled, there was no flying pigeon transmission here, and the messages transmitted were all beacon fires and wolf smoke, 800 miles of urgency, very primitive.

Everyone still thinks that Ning Ze is good at eating pigeon meat, and they think that it is really inappropriate to do this kind of thing in the name of the government, just to feast on it.

Ning Ze didn't explain much, only said that the acquisition of pigeons was not for the sake of tongue, but to prepare to form a strong army, which made everyone look at a loss.

Although he didn't understand, Liu Yuanxiang still agreed with Ning Ze's proposal.

Therefore, Ning Ze asked for the formation of an additional information force, with two commanders and two deputy commanders in each of the 16 prefectures, and distributed funds, military rations, and war horses and equipment every month. The offline line is divided into counties and even county towns in 16 states, forming a huge underground network, and the large underground network is transmitted by fast horses between the bases, so that the major events that occur in the country can be learned as quickly as possible.

When the pigeons are successfully trained, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

However, after calculating, it was found that the cost of funds was a bit exaggerated, and Liu Yuanxiang was quite hesitant.

Therefore, Ning Ze proposed to set up a paper workshop in the city to study paper technology and develop the paper industry, making it a stable source of funds.
