Several female students left, and Liu Kezhuang and the others shook their heads and resumed the conversation.

"When a woman goes to school, she is rampant with a sword, which can be described as groundbreaking!"

Liu Kezhuang spoke quickly and did not shy away from it.

The Great Song Dynasty "three from four virtues", "the door does not go out, the second door does not step", and the woman takes "Shunde" as the beauty. These women travel with swords on their shoulders, which can be described as deviant.

"What's the matter, it's better than the three-inch golden lotus's foot binding. As for the women's sword, it shows my martial arts style of the Great Song Dynasty, why not? ”

Dai Retro scolded Liu Kezhuang.

He has experienced many vicissitudes of life, knows the people's suffering, and has a straightforward temper and is outspoken.

"That's what Brother Dai said. However, the Jiangnan East Road Manufacturing Department issued a decree that anyone who wants to buy knives and guns can go to the government-run shops to buy them as long as they file with the government. I don't know, is this move a disadvantage or a benefit? ”

Liu Kezhuang was not upset and continued.

In fact, several of them now wear swords, in addition to self-defense, they can also strengthen their bodies when they dance swords.

"The emperor's move is just to promote the style of folk martial arts, those who have a demand will buy it, and those who don't have a demand will naturally not ask. As for the fear that someone will use a sharp knife as a traitor, it is really a bit of a choking waste. If you really want to commit a crime, a kitchen knife and a woodcutter are enough. ”

Zeng Ji stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

Those powerful eunuchs, who don't have swords, guns, swords, halberds, and some even have standard bows and crossbows. How much shorter are those woodcutters than waist knives?

"That's what Brother Xian said. Now that the emperor founded the Jinling Lecture Hall, organized and trained the new army, and reorganized the armed forces, within five years, the Great Song Dynasty will have a new situation. We still have to publicize the benefits of the New Deal and inspire the hearts of the people all over the world. ”

Liu Kezhuang was also excited.

The benefits of the New Deal are clear. Just the implementation of the meridian law, the tax has increased by two percent, which also makes Jiangnan East Road have gradually abolished the "body tax" on the heads of the people.

In addition to distributing the hidden fields to the landless people, the dismissed sergeants were also given land to cultivate, thus avoiding military rebellion. The emperor's thunderous means are dictatorial and arbitrary, which is really impressive! ”

Zeng Ji shook his head, very emotional.

The things that the previous kings of the Great Song Dynasty did not do were drastically taken by Zhao Hong, and all of them were flattened.

He pointed to the ships carrying ore, coal, and timber that came down the river, and said loudly:

"You can say how many industries have prospered in an ordnance manufacturing department. How much iron ore is needed, how much coal is needed, how much sulfur ore is needed, and how much saltpeter and charcoal is needed? How much manpower is needed, transportation along the way, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and how many people do you have to feed? Not to mention anything else, just this wharf in the west of Jinling City requires more than thousands of manpower. ”

The Jiangnan Ordnance Manufacturing Division is divided into two departments: military and civilian. Not to mention the military, it mainly produces artillery, grenades, and armor, knives and guns. As for civilian use, from ploughs, hoes, knives, iron pots, shovels, as well as scissors, needles and other daily necessities.

"The iron and steel smelted by the Ordnance Manufacturing Division are cast into iron pots, iron kettles, farming tools, and knives and guns sold to the people, which are also the source of support for the Ordnance Manufacturing Division. But the biggest advantage lies in the production of firearms and armor. The emperor used troops to restore his hometown, saying that it was to release the population crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, which is really wonderful! ”

Zeng Ji's words made Liu Kezhuang stunned and blurted out.

"Brother Xian, what do you say?"

"Brother Liu, it seems that you still know very little about today."

Zeng Ji smiled slightly, and Liu Kezhuang bowed.

"Please also ask the virtuous brother to guide the maze!"

"Brother Liu, Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor. From the emperor's poems, we can know his ambition. If he wants to be the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, he will inevitably recover the lost territory. Now that the north is full of devastation, and the people do not survive, if the north is recovered, not only will there be no land danger, but also the population crisis can be transferred and the national strength can be greatly expanded. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty placed the four counties of Hexi and opened the capital of the Western Regions, and when he was today, I am afraid that in addition to restoring the lost land of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and the Western Regions are also his ambitions. ”

Zeng Ji's words made Liu Kezhuang stunned for a long time and muttered.

"The emperor of this dynasty, do you really have such ambitions?"

The bereaved people were in tears, and they looked south to Wang Shi for another year. It has been a hundred years since the sinking of the Northland, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are even more indescribable. The Northern Expeditions of the Great Song Dynasty were all lost soldiers and returned in vain.

If one day he can stand on the top of Yanshan Mountain and look at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, he Liu Kezhuang will be blind to death.

"Brother Liu, poetry is like its people. The emperor's ambition is all in his poetry and songs. The foolish brother is still waiting to go to the Western Regions one day, walk with Brother Liu, and board the ruins of the Western Regions Protectorate. ”

Zeng Ji comforted Liu Kezhuang and laughed.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, the national strength was strong, and the soldiers were in the direction of the green mountains and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. In this dynasty, not to mention the Western Regions, even the Hexi Corridor can only be vague in dreams.

"Brother Xian, what is the emperor going to do next? How do we wave the flag in the newspaper? ”

Liu Kezhuang cleaned up his mood and continued to ask.

"I heard that the graduates of the first phase of the Sailors Department of Jinling Lecture Wutang are going to Zhancheng. In the opinion of the foolish brother, the emperor is to lay out in the South Seas. And another group of students from the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall went to the northwest to the northwest, and the emperor would definitely use troops abroad. ”

Zeng Ji's words made Liu Kezhuang stunned.

"Brother Xian is talking about the defense of Shukou? Didn't the graduates of the martial arts hall already send 300 people to the northwest, why do they still have to send people? Is the emperor going to amplify his moves? ”

Following Zhao Hong's rhythm all year round, many fresh words came out of everyone's mouths, and they were not new.

"The students of Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, the progress is fast and slow. Half of the nearly 600 people who graduated early this time will go to Shukou. The emperor must have a reason for taking precautions. ”

Zeng Ji said slowly, in fact, he didn't quite understand it in his heart.

Now there is no war in the northwest, I don't know why the emperor sent so many students to the northwest border?

"Brother Xian, you're right. The emperor must have a reason for doing this. It's like the sailor going to occupy the city, maybe it's really a rainy day, but it is not yet known. ”

Dai Gu nodded, agreeing with Zeng Ji's statement.

Sending sailors overseas to spread their prestige outside the country is always exciting news for the Chinese people.

"I heard that the emperor went to the southeast, and he visited secretly, and he went for several months, and even New Year's Day was spent in Guangzhou Mansion. The emperor's diligence is really the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

The emperor inspected the Sailor School and the coastal cities, and made secret visits, covering the southeast coast, and must have rectified the naval army.

Going north and south, sailors and infantry, the emperor's appetite is really big!

"I heard that after the festival, the emperor is going to Sichuan, and when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be another ups and downs!"

There was a lot of expectation in Ye Shaoweng's eyes.

"It's not just ups and downs, I'm afraid it's going to be bloody. There are so many corrupt officials in the world, and with the temperament of the emperor, he will definitely thunder and thunder, and make a drastic move. When the time comes...... Hum! ”

Dai Retro wanted to speak and stopped, snorted coldly, Liu Kezhuang nodded, and interjected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road has been successful, and the next step is Liangzhejiang West Road, Jiangnan West Road and Sichuan Road. In your opinion, how should we divide the labor? ”

Now that he understands the emperor's general intentions, Liu Kezhuang has slowly gained some experience in his mind.

The emperor has the lofty ambition to restore the former glory of the Han dynasty, and he, the head of the Propaganda Department of the Great Song Dynasty, of course has to wave the flag for the emperor.

"Brother Liu, Liangzhejiang West Road and Sichuan Road are both hard bones, one is where the national capital is located, and the other is Tiangao Emperor Yuan. In my opinion, Brother Liu and Lu Ziyu stayed in western Zhejiang, Wu Wenying and I went to Sichuan, and Brother Dai and Brother Ye went to Jiangnan West Road. What do you think? ”

"Just as Brother Liu Xian said."

"Brother Liu Xian has the final say."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Liu Kezhuang's suggestion.

Although they are only making cameos on the errand of the Propaganda Department, after all, they have to take money from the Propaganda Department, so they already have a bit of a noble heart for Liu Kezhuang.

"In this case, let's perform our own duties, make secret visits, and prepare for the implementation of the new policies in various places."

Liu Kezhuang's eyes were full of expectation.

"The emperor is planning in the northwest border, Jin Ge Iron Horse, this is a big deal. To be honest, I was excited and a little scared! ”

Dai said a quiet sentence, and finally said his heart.

Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo was in power, Han Yanzhou's Northern Expedition was defeated, Han Yanzhou himself was killed, the Great Song Dynasty lost his division, and the Northern Expedition became a joke.

The emperor of this dynasty wants to be strong, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse?

"The emperor founded the Jinling Lecture Hall, organized and trained the new army, implemented the new policy, thundered the means, and acted step by step. What the emperor did was very much in line with the essence of a rich country and a strong army. The emperor is the chosen son, and the future of the Great Song Dynasty can be expected. ”

manufacturing firearms, training a new army, fighting corruption and advocating clean government, abolishing excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and prospering all industries、......

Every decision of the emperor is a surprise and a look forward to it.

In particular, the emperor's dictatorship, curbing the dominance of the scholar family, and restoring the martial style of the Great Song Dynasty seem to have worked.

"I don't know, what kind of scene will the future Great Song Dynasty be?"

Zeng Ji said a word, and everyone nodded yes.

The Song Gaozong Dynasty had restored ministers, but there was no restored king. The Song Xiaozong Dynasty had a restored monarch, but no restored ministers. The emperor of this dynasty is eloquent and strategic, and he founded the lecture martial arts, which has both the king of restoration and the minister of restoration.

The new emperor is ambitious, and the future of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be promising.

"If my Great Song border army encounters a Tatar iron horse, I don't know what kind of scene it will be?"

Liu Kezhuang patted his lungs, and suddenly a sentence came out.

"I have tens of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as I am united, why be afraid of Tatars?"

"Not bad! As long as I am a strong soldier and a horse, carry forward the martial style, and the millions of people in Tatar, what is the way? ”

Several people were impassioned, looking into the distance together, looking at the rolling big river east, the waves rolling, and they were all excited.

The Great Song Dynasty is changing with each passing day, just like the changes in Jinling City. The future scene makes everyone's hearts full of expectations and hopes.
