Chapter 466: Change Everywhere

Soldiers, how can they make contributions without fighting, and how can they be promoted to marquis? Especially when your own strength is far superior to that of the enemy, and you basically will not be defeated.

When you are weak, you don't want to fight, you don't dare to fight; When he is strong, his eyes are blue when he looks at everyone, and he can't wait to go up and kick twice.

From a small individual to a large country, it is normal for them to have a strong voice and act strongly.

The first is the emperor's will, which determines the attitude of the officials below. If you don't want to make progress and are content with pleasure, then everyone will live together!

However, the emperor was determined to forge ahead and advocated force, and it was difficult for slack, cowardly officials to rise.

It seems a bit vulgar to say that "if you are good at the top, you must do it at the bottom". But what kind of emperor has what kind of courtiers, it is a very normal situation.

More importantly, the emperor was not overextended, leaving behind many sequelae like Chengzu.

Although it seems that military operations are carried out on multiple fronts, they do not consume the country's finances too much, and even make a lot of profits in the war.

In the year of the catastrophe, there was no large-scale displacement, and relief was becoming more and more orderly. Grain was constantly being shipped and stored in the official warehouse, the people did not panic, and the social order was stable.

In such a situation, if you use "reckless military force" and "belligerent will perish" to admonish, isn't that talking nonsense with your eyes open and looking for your own smoke!

Moreover, the military might of the Ming Dynasty has been beaten, the morale of the people has been rising, and even the spiritual outlook of the people has changed greatly, and people with a discerning eye can see it.

The emperor also saw it, not only the daily reports of the factory guards, but also the secret recitals of officials at all levels, as well as the letters of the people.

Although there is a catastrophe, the Ming Dynasty is still very stable. It was precisely because of this judgment and self-confidence that the emperor had a strategic plan to continue his aggression and expansion after the catastrophe.

"The recruits were dumbfounded." A cavalryman did not hide his smug face, and stretched out his finger, which is the place where the recruits observe and learn.

Gao Yingxiang smiled and said: "The imperial court has recruited soldiers again, and it seems that there will be no less wars in the future." ”

"Being a soldier is also nourishing!" Another cavalryman said with a smile: "Not only are you hungry, but you can also support your family, and they are all vying to join the army!" ”

"Not everyone is qualified." Gao Yingxiang said with emotion: "The ability to ride a horse must be good, and the age must be appropriate. When I joined the army, it took a lot of lips and tongues, and I was almost brushed off because of my age. ”

Conscription into the army not only expands the strength of the Northwest Theater, but also helps to tide over major disasters. To put it bluntly, conscription is regarded as a cash-for-work item.

The Song Dynasty had a fixed system, that is, to recruit displaced people as soldiers, and let them live in the military camp for a long time, that is, the box army.

The purpose is clear, to stabilize this part of the mobile members of society, and to be subject to a certain amount of discipline. This special way of recruiting displaced people to join the army is indeed conducive to the stability of public order.

The emperor learned from the system of the box army, but he did not want to form redundant soldiers and form an unbearable Song Dynasty box army.

This is because the increase in the number of conscripts has also strengthened the ability of many families to resist catastrophes.

If one person joins the army, the military salary can support a family of at least three. Combined with other relief measures, a family has been largely stabilized.

Migration to the northwest is certainly a means of mitigating major disasters, but it is also necessary to maintain a certain number of people. After all, it was the emperor's strategic goal to go out and control the Western Regions. And the northwest will become the base for the front out.

As soon as he galloped by, Gao Yingxiang recognized that it was Li Guo, and when he stretched out his hand to greet him, Li Guo had already galloped over and went to convey the order.

Shrugging his shoulders, Gao Yingxiang secretly scolded "stinky boy", and then walked away with a few comrades-in-arms laughing.

………………….

Change is taking place all over the Ming Empire. All aspects of life make ordinary people feel more and more obvious.

Zhang Zhuzi drove the carriage slowly through the streets of the city, looking up at the plaques of the shops on both sides from time to time.

The windows of most shops are inlaid with transparent glass, so that you can see some of the shelves and products inside from the outside, which is more attractive to customers.

However, there is a difference between shops and shops, and the larger the inlaid glass, the more financial resources it has. If you look at the palm-sized glass, it is naturally limited in money, or it is operated by small traders and vendors.

When can the home be inlaid with glass, even a window.

Zhang Zhuzi retracted his gaze with envy and stopped the carriage in front of a shop.

Yingzi once said that if the window was transparent glass, she could sit on the kang and see outside, mainly to see her father or husband enter the hospital and go home.

It was just an unintentional sentence, but Zhang Zhuzi kept it in his heart, thinking that this was another goal for him.

After parking the car and tying up the horse, Zhang Zhuzi walked into this big shop with bright and clean windows. With a slight sweep of his eyes, he saw Ah Tao behind the counter.

Ah Tao had just sent away a customer, looked up and saw Zhang Zhuzi, immediately greeted him with a smile, walked out of the counter quickly, and greeted him.

"Ha, Brother Zhuzi is here." Ah Tao said with some disgust: "Busy man, it's really not easy to come here. ”

Zhang Zhuzi smiled abruptly and explained: "The family is busy, you know, Yingzi has just finished confinement. ”

"Yes, yes." Ah Tao smiled and nodded, and said, "It's cold, don't let Yingzi come out, my little nephew is also afraid of the cold." Well, they're all good, right? ”

"It's good, it's all good." Zhuzi thought of his daughter-in-law and son, and his face was full of happiness that he couldn't hide, "Yingzi let you have time to sit at home, she misses you a lot." ”

"I miss her too." Ah Tao quickly took a burden with his hands and feet, handed it to Zhang Zhuzi, and said: "This is good cotton, make a cotton jacket for my little nephew, warm and warm." ”

Zhang Zhuzi didn't answer it right away, and said, "How much?" I can't let you spend it, and the family is still rich. ”

"Okay, since there is, then I'm welcome." Ah Tao reported the account, took the money from Zhang Zhuzi's hand, and said, "I saved up two rest days this month, and I went home to see Yingzi and my little nephew." ”

Zhang Zhuzi nodded and said, "Then I'll catch the car to pick you up, just outside this shop!" ”

"No, you don't." Ah Tao waved his hand and said, "It's a lot of trouble to come and go, you take good care of Yingzi and your son at home, and I'll ride a horse myself." ”

Looking at Ah Tao's unconcealed pride, Zhang Zhuzi smiled and nodded. He had no problem with women riding horses.

Moreover, at present, in Liaodong, horses and carriages are becoming the main means of transportation for people. Women like Ah Tao who can ride horses are not uncommon on the road.

Ah Tao took two boxes of candy and snacks and a bag of sweet potatoes, and had to give them to Zhang Zhuzi, saying that they were given in advance, so that she would have to take them when she went to Yingzi's house, which was cumbersome.

"Yingzi likes to eat sweet potatoes, which are shipped from the south. I've baked it and it tastes ok. ”
