"The grass people Tang Consult to see the monarch."

"Don't be polite, get up and talk."

Zhang Shuo's right hand was raised slightly, signaling Tang Shi to get up, but he did not give him a seat. In order to show his courtesy corporal, when the ministers came to meet the saint, Zhang Shuo would let them sit down, but this did not mean that Zhang Shuo was like this to everyone.

It's not that Zhang Shuo is putting on a show, but if he really does this, not only will he not get the gratitude of his courtiers, but it will make them feel that in the eyes of their own monarch, they are no different from ordinary people. Thus harboring resentment and dissatisfaction.

"Thank you for your grace." Tang Zhi thanked Zhang Shuo, and then stood up straight without hurrying.

"Lonely Zizhong said, you are an expert-level shipbuilder. I wonder what kind of ships you can build? ”

"Enlighten the monarch, the grass people can build small warships "walking" and "red horse boats". Medium-sized warships that can carry more than 200 people "Mengchong" and "Fighting Ships". And the thousand-stone building ship that can carry nearly 1,000 people and is more than 10 zhang high! ”

Hearing Zhang Shuo's inquiry, Tang Shi raised his head slightly and said confidently.

"Excellent! Gu today proposed you as the commander of the navy brigade, and assisted Xie Xuan in commanding the navy. At the same time, he is responsible for leading the shipyard and building ships! ”

"Xie Guojun supports, the last general will definitely do his best, and he will never give up!"

Tang Zhi arched his hand at Zhang Shuo and said solemnly. It's just that Zhang Shuo didn't take his words to heart. After all, this is a character who descends again and again.

While allowing Elk Zhu to use his connections to sell as much sea salt as possible, Zhang Shuo ordered him to continue to expand the number of sea salt producers and salt pans. In order to have enough inventory in the future, trade with the big forces.

After receiving Lu Zhu's reply, Zhang Shuo let the two leave, while he himself continued to deal with the twists and turns in various places with the help of Gao Lishi and others. looked at the well-organized Colliers beside him, who sorted out many affairs. Zhang Shuo couldn't help but sigh that he had won a capable eunuch. Otherwise, there has been a mess of government affairs in recent days. It's no wonder that I'm not tired to death.

"In the three counties of Tianqing, Tangling, and Lanling, is the work of implementing the government soldiers still not smooth?"

"Yes. According to the report of the military government of the three counties, because the three places did not suffer much war, most of the fields are still in the hands of local tyrants.

Moreover, these people not only did not support the military government system, but even took the land deed of the former dynasty that came out of nowhere to prevent the state from allocating the ownerless land in the territory to the government soldiers for cultivation......"

"Do these people really think that my sword is not good? These people took advantage of the war to swallow up the land and the population. Lonely Nian They had run around to recruit village warriors, and they had meritorious service in the battle against Sun Ru, so they didn't care. Now they still have to get an inch and get an inch of land allocated to the government soldiers to cultivate! ”

Listening to Gao Lishi's report, Zhang Shuo sighed helplessly. Today, the number of soldiers in the two counties of Qishan and Le'an has exceeded more than 20,000. Yinping and Tanxian have about 7,000 soldiers each.

The two counties of Licheng and Hexiang were instructed by Liu Jianfeng to launch large-scale raids before he fled the East China Sea. As a result, the two counties have suffered a serious population loss at present, and they have become the two counties with the smallest population among the border towns and counties of Qianguo. However, the damage caused by the war made the total number of soldiers in the two counties break through to more than 6,000 people.

The three counties of Tangling, Tianqing, and Lanling in the interior did not suffer too much war, so the people's willingness to participate in the government soldiers was not very positive. Therefore, the number of soldiers in the three counties together is less than 5,000 in total.

However, on the whole, the implementation of the government soldiers in the nine counties of the East China Sea is still proceeding steadily. The total number has exceeded the 70,000 mark.

After some discussion with Gao Lishi, Zhang Shuo decided to take a tough attitude towards these families, refusing to recognize these land deeds and increasing the recruitment of displaced people in various places.

He also transferred some of the government soldiers from the four places of Qishan, Le'an, Yinping, and Tanxian to ensure that the eight counties of Dongling, Le'an, Hexiang, Yinping, Tanxian, Licheng, Lanling, and Qishan could have more than 6,000 soldiers under the jurisdiction of each county's military government, and the remaining more than 12,000 government soldiers were all concentrated in Tianqing County. This is both a warning to them and an attempt to meet the current extreme shortage of labor.

After all, as the capital of Qianguo and the country, there are too many places that need to be constructed in Tiangan County at present, and the labor gap that needs to be filled is too huge.

As for the issue of the military government's fields, there is no need to worry, after all, the heroes of Tiangu County have not yet recovered from the heavy punch at the beginning of the game. It is only necessary to reclaim some more fields on the basis of the land under the jurisdiction of those lawless and powerful and nobles. It will be enough to house these soldiers.

Just when Zhang Shuo had a headache and was fighting for land between Haoqiang and the military government, Guangling Shangshu ordered Zhang Hong to cross the river in white clothes, avoiding the eyes and ears of those players, and quietly visited the Lanling Xiao family. However, Xiao Cong, the head of the Xiao family, directly refused Zhang Hong's visit on the grounds that he was unwell.

For Xiao Cong's refusal, Zhang Hong was not discouraged, but was greatly relieved. After sending a big gift as a greeting, he stayed in Lanling County.

"Big brother, I just heard that Zhang Zigang from Guangling is visiting?"

As soon as Zhang Hong left, Xiao Yu ran to Xiao Cong's study and asked unceremoniously.

And Xiao Cong, who had long been accustomed to his brother's straight temper, was not angry after seeing Xiao Yu's aggressive appearance, but just chuckled: "The person has already left, and my brother sent him away on the grounds that he occasionally felt cold and was sick." ”

"This Guangling Zhang clan has already taken refuge in Liu Bei, the king of Shu. Zhang Hong may have other plans for this trip. ”

"That's why I can't see him!" Xiao Cong looked at Xiao Yu, sighed helplessly, and said, "After all, you and I are the people who have lost the country." Between actions, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds. If I hastily meet with foreign ministers, it is inevitable that others will be truthful. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "In this case, I will immediately report this matter to the monarch." It also let the monarch know the attitude of my Xiao family. ”

"Go ahead!"

Xiao Cong nodded and said, "Although this will, he should have known about this for a long time." But this attitude is always to be done. In addition, you will speak to the monarch as a royal historian. It is unseemly to say that I, as the director of the Department of Education, have been staying at home all day. Please order me to go back to the Tiangan Mansion and think about it behind closed doors. ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, although his eldest brother had the name of the director of education in Qianguo, the real power has always been in the hands of those two principals. On weekdays, in addition to indulging in drinking and sightseeing, he does not touch the affairs of the Department of Education.

Even the whole person has lived in the ancestral house of Lanling for a long time, except for the morning court once every five days, and even the meetings of various divisions are rarely attended on weekdays. In the face of other people's accusations, they are all regarded as deaf ears. Why did you suddenly bring this up today?
