The prince was right. After a few days of severe crackdown, no one in the capital dared to trade gold and silver anymore. Now the treasure banknotes seemed to have a use again, and stacks of banknotes reappeared on the market.
, it seems that everything is as expected.
But this is only a superficial phenomenon. Dissatisfaction is gathering in the hearts of the people, especially officials and businessmen. How can they turn their gold and silver into waste? They have their own way of resistance... After just a few days, the market in the capital began to
During the depression, merchants stopped buying goods after selling goods that could not be kept for a long time, and went out of business directly. For a time, Jinling, the capital city that had always been crowded with department stores, turned into a city in short supply where nothing could be bought, and prices became very expensive.
Not to mention, the key point is that you can’t buy anything with money
Of course, this money refers to treasure notes... Nowadays, even a hundred thousand notes can't buy a bucket of rice. The people in the capital don't farm, so they rely on buying food. Now the food reserves at home will be exhausted in an instant. Once someone goes hungry, the capital will inevitably
There's going to be chaos
The prince was also very anxious about this and ordered people to bring grain to Beijing to stabilize prices. However, merchants from all over the world were unwilling to come to the capital to do business, and even the government was unwilling to support the capital. The prince had no choice but to open a warehouse to sell grain and use the court's grain reserves.
In exchange for those disgusting treasures... But this kind of business can't last long. How many noble officials are there in the capital? How many troops? There are no less than a million people who eat the imperial food. It is very difficult for the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue to just supply these people, and then it can afford it.
People's rations and stocks may run out at any time.
The King of Han and Jigang were calculating every day when the grain storage in the Hubu warehouse would be exhausted, because by then, a big chaos would inevitably come, and even the prince would be buried... And the two of them were not idle, trying every means to fight against the impending fire.
Add more firewood to the fire. It's a pity that Ji Gang's minions have been wiped out by Wang Xian. Otherwise, the Black Tiger Hall, the Dajiang League and the like can make trouble together, which is guaranteed to be extremely exciting.
But it doesn't matter if there aren't those gang members. As King Han said, the general trend is unstoppable. The capital city, which is still in stagnant water, is brewing a huge crisis. People are waiting for that day to arrive with various moods...
…
However, Beizhen Fusi and the Fujun avant-garde are currently not affected at all, and are still carrying out training subjects step by step... After a short break, Beizhen Fusi returned to the harsh summer training. In addition to individual training subjects,
He also often trains with the avant-garde of the government army. Basically, the skin can be peeled off in ten days, and the posture can be completely transformed in thirty days...
However, those who were once in the martial arts world now rarely complain. Firstly, after these two months of hard work, they have basically become accustomed to it, or they have become numb. Secondly, they have seen that the big gangs that have been making waves in the capital have been wiped out in an instant.
, which made them intuitively feel that there is no future in being a gangster. Only by going ashore and clearing their names can they have a future. Naturally, they will cherish this rare opportunity. In addition, Wang Xian, in addition to strict training, is really good to them. He treats them every day.
The training ground is filled with watermelon, mung bean soup, plum juice and other food and drinks to relieve summer heat and quench thirst. The three meals a day are also very rich, not to mention big fish and meat, and they are served in different ways. As for every month
In addition to receiving a lot of salary, he also always cashed in generous rewards for meritorious service in training and missions.
Of course, self-awareness and rewards alone are not enough for this group of cutthroats. Wang Xian also prepared a shining tiger-headed guillotine for them - Yan Qing, who was appointed as the chief military judge of the two armies, sat down
It only took Mr. Yan, who was in a wheelchair, just half a month to make those arrogant and arrogant soldiers submissive and submissive, and they did not even dare to say bad things about him behind his back. It is said that even
Hu Sandao, the most daring one, would be so frightened when he heard the sound of the wooden wheelchair rolling over the ground that he would quickly check his military appearance and then stand still... Even the murderous Hu Sandao was like this, let alone others.
.
With a multi-pronged approach, the military's appearance is naturally in good order and its morale is naturally high.
As long as Wang Xian has time, he will go to the school grounds to accompany them throughout the training. He sees the Rangers, all dressed in black shorts, working together in a complex and heavily guarded courtyard environment, quietly advancing step by step.
When the enemy reacted, they had already controlled all the key points and successfully turned the enemy around, winning a crisp victory. This made Wang Xian, who was standing on the high watchtower, deeply gratified.
"Yes, we have made great progress." Wang Xian smiled and said to the Shanxi Yang Rong beside him. "Compared to when General Mo was here, he has improved a lot."
"It's all because of General Mo's good foundation. The last general doesn't dare to take credit." Yang Rong said sternly.
"Okay, don't be humble. I know who has made the most contribution." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Yeah, who would have thought that these well-coordinated elite troops were just a bunch of rabble more than two months ago?" Standing behind Wang Xian was Zhou Man...that is, the Zhou magistrate, who is now the North Governor.
Although he was in a military yamen, his position was still that of a civil servant. In fact, it was Wang Xian who asked him to transfer to a military position, and Zhou Man would definitely accept it. However, he was a second-ranked Jinshi, so he gave up his position as a civil servant.
Being a military attache was definitely not a good feeling in his heart. Now that Wang Xian had allowed him to retain his civilian status and promoted him to two levels, Zhou Man was naturally grateful and wished he could repay the favor with all his heart.
"Indeed, it can be seen that jade cannot be polished into a weapon." Wang Xian said with a proud smile: "Of course, you must have masters of military training like General Mo and General Yang."
"Thank you, sir." Yang Rong smiled from the bottom of his heart, but a look of hesitation appeared on his face the next moment.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xian has sharp eyes. He could tell at a glance that he had something to say, so he smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want."
"Then my subordinate will tell you straight." Yang Rong said sternly: "Master and Zhou Xingren see that their cooperation is so perfect. In addition to training hard, there is another important reason. They are too familiar with this training ground.
I can touch it in and out almost with my eyes closed, and the movements are natural and smooth. If it were a different venue, it would definitely not be so smooth."
"Well, General Yang's considerations make sense." Wang Xian nodded and smiled happily: "It shows that General Yang is a serious and responsible general, not an official who deals with official business."
"Master Meng rescued me from the fire and rescued him, and he was willing to reuse his subordinates regardless of past suspicions. Naturally, my subordinates will be willing to repay the favor."
"Good, good, good." Wang Xian praised repeatedly, but there was no follow-up.
"Sir, then, shall we change the venue for training?" Yang Rong had no choice but to ask again.
"It needs to be replaced, but building a new venue doesn't happen overnight." Wang Xian smiled and said: "Let's use this venue to train for another month. You announce that this subject will be tested in the half-year assessment, so everyone should seize the time and keep up their efforts.
They must be familiar with this terrain, it will be of great benefit to them in the future." Then he walked down from the observation tower and said: "Come on, let's go over there and have a look."
Yang Rong was stunned for a moment, and whispered to Zhou Man: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Could it be that training in this field can extend your life?"
"Haha, you are blinding your sight..." Zhou Man said with a smile: "Training in this field, although it cannot prolong life, can give the soldiers one more chance to save their lives..."
"You mean?" Yang Rong's eyes lit up and he chased after him: "Is this the terrain for the next operation?"
"I didn't say anything." Zhou Man shook his head and smiled, "You haven't heard anything either."
"Of course, of course, I understand." Yang Rong's eyes gleamed with excitement. He raised troops for a thousand days, isn't it just to use troops for a while? When he went down to the training ground, he shouted to his subordinates: "Practice ten more times."
Wang Xian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and smiled at Zhou Man and said: "This old man is smarter than anyone else when he is smart, and is more confused than anyone else when he is confused. You still need to remind him.
"People are smart when they should be smart, and confused when they should be confused," Zhou Man said with a smile.
"Ah ha, it's possible." Wang Xian thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's go to the front line of the Fujun to have a look. Yang Rong is still too gentle. Don't ask them about the four lunatics who got my true inheritance..."
"I heard that the soldiers were drilled to death. Even if they were asked to jump into a pit of fire, they would not even frown." Zhou Man said with a sigh, "Although I am a civil servant, I have also observed many military trainings.
I thought the intensity of training like General Yang’s was already extremely high, but the devilish training like that of the avant-garde of the Imperial Army was unprecedented..."
"The edge of a sword is sharpened. Although the training is painful, it can bring a lot to the soldiers." Wang Xian said lightly: "Completing the brutal training will allow the soldiers to gain precious pride and self-confidence. This is something soldiers can't gain without going to the battlefield."
The only way to save the soul..."
"Your Majesty, what you said is so profound." Zhou Man admired, "I heard that all training started with you. My subordinates originally didn't believe that anyone was born with knowledge of it, but now they realize that there really is something out there."
"Hahaha..." Wang Xian laughed and said: "It's useless for you to flatter me, I won't give you a salary increase." The two laughed and got on their horses to leave the camp, but they saw a fifth-grade civil servant following them outside the camp.
The guard spoke.
"Isn't this Mr. Hu?" Wang Xian recognized him. He was the general judge of Yingtian Mansion. He seemed to be named Hu Zheng or something.
"I'm so lucky, I happened to meet Mr. Wang coming out." Hu Zheng wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "My Mr. Yin, please be sure to come over and talk about something important."
"Hmm." Wang Xiandao: "Do you still need Mr. Hu to make a trip in person?"
"It should, it should." Under the scorching sun, Hu Zheng's clothes were already wet with sweat. Firstly, he was too hot, and secondly, he was frightened by the situation in front of him. "Sir, look, how about we go there now?"
"Okay." Wang Xian nodded and said to Zhou Man, "We won't go to the military camp for now. Come with me to Yingtian Mansion."
