Chapter 226: Becoming a Prince
After Song Yu divided the water division, he no longer cared about it, but secretly instructed Jinyiwei to pay attention to Meng Che. {{x}
Today's Jinyi Wei has increased in size several times, and after Chen Yun got the order, he immediately added a lot of spies to Meng Che's mansion.
As for the sailors, the Military Aircraft Department also secretly ambushed many people to monitor Meng Che.
Of course, Song Yu is just preparing to be a villain first and then a gentleman, as long as this Meng Che is honestly a sailor general, then naturally there are high-ranking officials, glory and wealth, but if he has bad intentions and is exterminated, he can't blame others.
As time got closer and closer to Song Yu's ceremony, he left the matter behind.
On the second day of November, early in the morning, the bell rang and the liturgical music rang.
Song Yu changed into the crown of seven crowns that only the public could wear, put on his shoulders, and went to the altar outside the city surrounded by hundreds of officials.
The sound of the cannon sounded nine times, and the drum music suddenly broke out.
The singing bell is clear, with the music, the honor guard guides, the chime bell is agitated, the flag is held high, and thousands of soldiers hold Jinwu in their hands, solemnly walking by.
Song Yuduan sat in the middle of the ride, surrounded by three hundred guards in front and behind, followed by two rows of palace maids, carrying various honor guards.
Under the ruling power, the people along the road of the honor team have already been ordered, whether they are virtuous or foolish, old or young, willing or not, all flowers and incense cases are placed in front of the door, and the whole family is out of the house.
At this time, it was not only the people and the local families in Wuzhou who watched, the last time Song Yu got married, envoys from all over the world came to congratulate him, because two major events were approaching. Most of them didn't leave, but they just watched the ceremony together.
The altar of worship was built after nearly a month. It has been completed, nine feet high, the bottom is loess, the top is built of white marble, the look is smooth as a mirror, and the civil and military officials are divided into two sides according to their official titles.
Around the altar, Song He led the Flying Tigers to guard it. The armor is ready, the bow and crossbow are wound, and the four sides are guarded.
Take advantage of the public opinion to land. Song Yu walked out solemnly, and suddenly the bell rang and the music was loud, and hundreds of officials knelt down to greet him.
Song Yu went straight to the altar, and those who were qualified to follow closely behind.
I have been walking the thirty-sixth order. only to reach the high platform. Song Yu was here, and suddenly felt some strange feelings, at this time, he couldn't think about it much, he settled down, and began to worship the sky.
The sacrificial text was written in advance, and Song Yu read it at the moment: "The minister Song Yu respectfully tells the Emperor of Heaven: The world is overthrown, the people are not happy, and ghosts are rampant. Chenben Liangde, only obey the mandate of heaven. When he is in the position of Wu Gong, he will work hard all night to plan for the country and the people's livelihood, go to heaven in the dark, and learn from the hearts of his ministers."
After the sacrificial text is recited, Song Yu will take the lead and bow three times to the sky. And when Song Yu got up, the ministers, the soldiers and the people all knelt on the ground and saluted.
At the moment when the kneeling was completed, there was a clear roar in the dark, the thunder exploded, and the luck of the entire Wuzhou was swarming, the luck spreading, the gathering place was getting faster and faster, and the red Jiao circled, straight above the clouds.
This is the condensation of the luck of countless mortals, most of them flashing with white light, and there is a trace of red qi in them, and occasionally a few bits of gold.
Countless torrents of luck turned into cyan when they reached Song Yu's side, and they continued to merge into the top of Song Yu's head.
The pure green qi luck continued to condense, and finally condensed and turned into a form.
Song Yu saw a green Luo canopy, standing on the top of his head, the canopy and the umbrella body, with mysterious patterns, this canopy stood upright, as if guarding the majesty of the prince.
This is exactly the case, with this luck canopy to protect the body, Song Yu will not be able to touch all the ways unless his luck is dissipated in the future, and when he encounters a dream immortal, he will also have a means of resistance.
For the first time, Song Yu, as the Duke of Wu, glanced at the hundreds of civil and military generals under his eyes, and immediately began to knight and seal officials, add wives, promote six divisions, and add vassals.
The people bowed down and listened to the ceremonial officer read the decree.
First of all, it is to promote the sixth division to the fifth grade, and then promote the subordinates who have made meritorious contributions to combat governance, for a while, everyone was promoted, basically, the civil and military officials present were all rewarded, and suddenly, the atmosphere reached a **.
After the civil and military officials recited the will, they knelt down again and thanked them in unison.
At this time, there were palace maids with grades approaching, all young and beautiful, with dignified manners, and each of them held a crown, robes, and accessories in their hands, and changed them for the ministers.
Official uniforms are distinguished by color. Song Yu customized, the third grade or more was bruised, the fifth grade or above was yellow, the seventh grade or above was red, and the ninth grade or above was white and red, and everyone wore a sword.
This actually corresponds to the luck that Song Yu observed.
After the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, the hundred officials followed Song Yu to the palace for a banquet.
This is actually the original state minister's residence, which was used as a temporary palace by Song Yu after renovation.
Wu Guogong's banquet, officials above the seventh grade can be seated, Song Yugao sits on the main seat, at this time, it is really full of red gold, wealth and glory.
Song Yu said first: "The foundation is just beginning, Wuzhou is new, and I hope that Zhuqing will work hard...... Meng Zhu, as a Hu Shilangzhong, I will tell you about the love of the rule one by one!"
This is also to let his subordinates know their own territory and specific situation.
"Yes, I obey. Meng Chai stepped forward and said.
"Under the rule of the lord, there are 16 prefectures and 87 counties, including Linjiang Prefecture and 5 counties, with 50,000 households and 270,000 people,...... Huiji Mansion, Tongxian six, has 60,000 households and 320,000 people...... There are 770,000 households and 3.85 million people in the state. Li Bo said loudly.
"And in the treasury of each prefecture and county, there are two million three hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, two million four hundred and forty thousand stones of grain and grass, and a number of five hundred and sixty thousand ...... of silk and cloth."
"In terms of soldiers, after selection and training, it is estimated that there are about 70,000 soldiers, with complete armor and excellent weapons. ”
When it comes to strength, it's just food, money, and soldiers, and when the hundred officials heard what Meng Zhu said, their eyes lit up.
Wu Guogong's strength is so strong, and the lord of the world is also the lord of the world!
Many people are hot in their hearts, Wu Guogong is only twenty years old, so he laid such a foundation, and when he ascends to the pole, then they are also regarded as old men from the dragon, and they are not rich and prosperous.
"Haha...... Okay, Meng Zhu, you can go down to the banquet!" Song Yu laughed, letting his new subordinates know the strength of the lord, and then deepening his loyalty, which was also part of his purpose.
After the banquet, Shen Wenbin and other six Shilangzhong and several senior generals such as Ye Hongyan were left to discuss matters.
Although it was Daqing, but Wu Guogong was in front of him, everyone didn't dare to lose their manners, and they didn't drink much, and at this time, they used to understand the wine soup, and they were even more sober, and they listened to Song Yu's orders together.
Song Yu changed into his regular clothes after the banquet, and he looked a little casual at this time.
"You are all the humerus of my father, let's sit down and talk about it today!" Song Yu said with a smile.
There were attendants who carried two rows of chairs.
Everyone thanked them, and then sat down halfway to each other, and seeing that everyone was seated, Song Yucai said solemnly: "You are waiting to come, just to talk about your future plans!"
"This is also a big plan for next year!"
"Please make it public!" "The subordinates all know that this lord is eloquent and far-sighted, and this time he is so cautious, which is related to the foundation of Wudi, and he can't help but concentrate more and sit upright.
"Wu Di Chuping, what Meng Chai said in the palace, although it is the truth, there are some good news but not bad news, now they are all henchmen, Meng Chai will talk about it carefully......"
"Yes!" Meng got up and explained: "The household registration of the people in the palace is reported according to the records of various prefectures and counties, and there are two omissions in this, one is that the people fled a lot in the event of a military rebellion, and the other is that the large households conceal their household registration, which is also an old problem. ”
"These two aspects cancel each other out, because there are no specific statistics, it is impossible to get an accurate number, but it can be estimated that the population of Wuzhou at this time is only 600,000 households at most, about 3 million people......"
"The rest of the gold, silver, grain, and other amounts have not been hidden, but the land of Wu is ruined, and there are displaced people in the northern counties, and the grain and silver money must be invested in it!"
This is common sense! Shen Wenbin waited for this, but he was also expected, and couldn't help nodding.
Shen Wenbin stood up and said: "Natural disasters**, all states are like this, but my lord took the lead in pacifying Wuzhou, as long as he selects the best and the best, rests with the people, and cracks down on bandits, he will naturally be able to recover his vitality earlier than other states!
"Not bad!" Song Yu clapped his hands: "Wen Bin's words are very much in line with my wishes!"
"But because we have to strengthen construction, we won't be able to use troops next year!"
Hearing this accurate order, although Ye Hongyan and the others were a little unwilling in their hearts, they also knew that this was a must, otherwise the people's power would be exhausted, and they would be exhausted.
Seeing that several generals did not obviously resist, Song Yu nodded with satisfaction, the generals are warlike, this is determined by their nature, because they can establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield and gain wealth and acres.
But if you can restrain ** and hide the front of the soldiers, you are handsome!
"If you don't need soldiers next year, it doesn't mean that you can play in military affairs, let the horse go to Nanshan, train in peacetime, and don't slack off!"
"Please rest assured, lord!" Ye Hongyan said on behalf of the army.
"That's it!"
"Lord Qiqi, the officials of the prefectures and counties in the north of Wuzhou are all lacking, and the subordinates have ordered the family to recommend them, but there are few servants......" When Ye Hongyan sat down, Song Si got up and said.
Although Song Yu has always attached importance to talent training, but in the end the time is still short, this time, after filling in Yuzhang and other prefectures, there is not much left, and there is little to be done about the gap in the north of Wuzhou.
The same is true of the manpower recommended by the Wunan family, as for the Wubei family, resisting Song Yu in the front, and being wiped out tens of thousands of private soldiers in the back, now Song Yu is preparing to liquidate, let alone use their manpower.
"It is a great joy to ascend to the public throne alone, when the state celebrates together, you announce that all the prefectures of Wuzhou will hold a selection examination, regardless of family background, only ask about talents, and take fifty people from each prefecture, call Xiucai, and the treatment is equivalent to that of the officials. And in the spring of next year, those who show talents can take the examination in Jianye, select fifty people, call people, and treat them the same as those in history, and those who are both successful and talented can be appointed officials!"
"The scope of this examination is to choose the Four Books and the Five Classics, and to study miscellaneous studies such as the Ming Arithmetic Sutra! And whether it is a high-ranking family or a peddler's pawn, as long as he is not an incumbent official, he can take the examination, and this examination is called the 'imperial examination'!"
Song Yu smiled lightly, and inadvertently, in the chess game of the world, and even on the restraint family, he fell into a heavy position!
