Chapter 461: Determining the head coach, another year
Zhang Jun felt a little regretful. In his heart, Shen Tang was indeed the best candidate.
Although, Shen Tang does lack a record.
However, in Zhang Jun's heart, there is almost no general in his eyes who is stronger than Shen Tang.
Moreover, this is indeed an excellent opportunity. If you go with Shen Tang, your chances of winning will naturally increase. As long as you win, Shen Tang's status in the army will not only be improved, but he will also become more important in the eyes of His Majesty.
It's a pity that His Majesty obviously still doesn't trust Shen Tang's ability to lead the army.
"Then let Shao Hongyuan go!"
Zhang Jun said again, "Your Majesty also knows this person. He has served in the army for many years. Moreover, although he suffered a defeat in the battle of Sizhou, he is still a rare veteran.
Moreover, Shao Hongyuan is good at defense, so it is natural for him to go."
Today's Song Dynasty is indeed short of top generals. Otherwise, Zhang Jun, who is over sixty years old, will not be allowed to personally take charge of Sizhou in the battle of Sizhou.
Shao Hongyuan and Li Xianzhong are already considered the top generals under Zhang Jun.
This time, Zhao Shen nodded with satisfaction, "Well, General Shao has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and it is a defensive battle, so it is obviously not a problem."
After confirming the general, Zhang Jun and the others left, while Zhao Shen summoned the three envoys Ma Shao, Right Prime Minister Tang Situi and others to come. Once the war broke out, the whole court naturally started to move. This year, I'm afraid not It would be too easy.
With Zhao Shen's decision to send troops to Chengdu, it was naturally impossible for the ministers who had planned to rest during the New Year to rest.
However, Shen Tang, who was far away in Sizhou, was naturally not affected!
Lianli City was newly built, and many of the surrounding refugees who got the news rushed to the city.
After all, no matter how bad it is in the city, it is still much better than in this wilderness. Therefore, before the end of the year, thousands of people gathered in the entire city of Lianli.
After these people entered Lianli City, Shen Tang distributed houses and some grain and rice to these people according to the areas that had been divided.
After arriving in the city from the wilderness, not only do they have a house, but they also have food for the time being. This is really the happiest thing for the refugees. This year, they finally have some joy. gas.
With thousands of soldiers and horses originally stationed here, hundreds of Shao family shopkeepers and their families, plus these thousands of people, today's Lianli City has finally regained some of its fireworks atmosphere.
In this festive atmosphere, it was finally New Year's Eve! During the day, Shen Tang had already prepared couplets, door gods, etc., and sent a group of soldiers to each house.
After the red festive couplets were posted, the entire Lienli City was filled with a festive atmosphere in an instant.
When night fell, Shen Tang set up hundreds of tables of running tables directly on the open space reserved in the East and West Markets, so that people from all over the city could come here to eat and drink for free.
Burning under a sizzling bonfire and eating delicious and warm food, almost instantly, these people felt a sense of belonging to Lianli City.
At this time, the people really didn't have many demands.
As long as they have a full meal to survive, they will have no other requirements.
Moreover, during the banquet, Shen Tang directly announced that within two years, Lianli City would be in a tax-free state.
Moreover, the land around Lianli City will also be divided according to the population of each family.
As a result, these people who were already homeless naturally decided to stay in Lianli City.
As for the tax exemption, of course it was not Shen Tang who made the decision, but something that had been agreed upon before.
This was originally the place where the two countries had agreed to trade, and coupled with the special nature of Lianli City, the system of ordinary state capitals had no way to be implemented here.
After all, the appearance of Lianli City was originally an accident.
Therefore, Shen Tang’s announcement of tax exemption is not a lie.
As for income, Shen Tang is not worried. At present, it has not yet been decided how the two countries will conduct transactions.
However, what can be expected is that before long, this place will be filled with a large number of businessmen from both countries. With these businessmen here, as long as they operate well, it will be easy to make some tax money.
Moreover, Zhao Shen has already decided that these taxes will not be turned over to the national treasury like other places, but will be kept directly in Lianli City.
After all, Lianli City was acquired by accident, and Zhao Shen didn't like the tax revenue of a small city at all, so he might as well just sell it to the Kingdom of Jin to save face.
However, this has also resulted in the unique current situation of Lianli City.
Logically speaking, Lianli City is the county seat, so the Song Dynasty naturally needs to send county officials to take over.
However, it is foreseeable that if county magistrates are dispatched, the Kingdom of Jin will definitely not buy it, and even the original intention will not be achieved.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shen temporarily left Shen Tang in Lianli City.
Because, at least for now, except for Shen Tang, there is really no one suitable for the position of "Lord" of Lianli City.
But here in Shen Tang, there are no such problems.
Shen Tang's identity can be accepted by both countries, and makes Lianli City a 'foreign place'.
On the eve of New Year’s Eve, Shen Tang’s family held a vigil together!
The Shao family couple, Liu Xiangling, Wanyan Yue's mother and other elderly people sat together drinking tea and chatting. All the guards had been given leave by Shen Tang, and they all went to the East and West Market to drink and have fun. The slaves and servants also lost their past. Even though they were restrained, they all had fun together.
Shen Tang, on the other hand, accompanied the three girls, enjoying the rare tranquility under the care of a few little girls.
Looking at the three beautiful girls in front of him and the few little girls waiting on the side, Shen Tang felt that his whole body was wrapped in happiness and warmth.
In the last life, there were only two people, himself and his master, but in this life, without knowing it, it has been nearly two years since he came to this world.
Whether it is the so-called number one scholar or the so-called fame and wealth, Shen Tang does not care about it.
In his opinion, his biggest gain is being able to meet three women like this.
From the initial discomfort to the current habit, Shen Tang has gradually integrated into this world! With a family, care, goals and hopes, Shen Tang is happy at this moment.
Liu Xiangling's gentleness, Shao Muyu's passion, Wanyan Yue's infatuation.
For these three women, if they get one, they should thank God, but now, they are all in the arms of Shen Tang.
Husband and wife, ten miles of flowers, Shen Tang feels that being able to make the three girls happy, to be able to accompany them forever, and to still be together in their old age, this should be his biggest pursuit in this life.
