Song Rui was scared. He was very thorough and decisive.
Without any hesitation.
As soon as his body recovered, he immediately got out of bed and asked his second uncle Song Han to take him to Song Yang to admit his mistake.
Although Song Rui drinks, he has some of the best virtues in the world.
But when I’m not drinking, my mind is still very clear.
People in the world of martial arts call them "Jiu Mengzi", which is the kind of person you get after drinking alcohol.
I didn’t drink today, and my head was buzzing from the bombardment.
What tens of thousands of cavalry, what an army to conquer the west?
Song Rui no longer has any intention of confronting the Song Yang Group.
Now that I have no intention of resisting, there is no reason not to quickly admit my mistake and surrender.
So he came just when Song Yang and others were gathering to celebrate the victory parade.
He came, he knelt down, he loudly held my mouth in his mouth, I was wrong...
Anyway, it’s just a plea.
Song Yang looked at Song Rui who sincerely admitted his mistake, then looked at Qiao Jinglong and said:
"Old Qiao, you decide this matter. You are the client and the victim, so you have the final say on how to deal with him."
Qiao Jinglong curled his lips in embarrassment and said, "The prince is joking. In fact, I have not suffered any grievances."
After saying that, he looked at Song Rui and said: "Your Majesty, please get up. I have nothing to do. I have forgotten what happened that day."
Qiao Jinglong didn't intend to care about it.
Today, Song Yang showed his face again, how could he just stick to this or that matter.
Qiao Jinglong said he would not pursue the matter.
Song Rui immediately smiled happily and said a lot of things to Mr. Qiao.
Song Rui was happy that Qiao Jinglong forgave him. Fortunately, he didn't drink too much at the wine table, or didn't hurt Qiao Jinglong's vital parts.
"Okay. Since Lao Qiao doesn't care anymore, I will pardon you for attacking the imperial official."
Song Yang waved his hands and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Rui thanked Song Yang again.
He was also unlucky. If he had come honestly, Song Yang would have called him brother.
When the result comes, he pretends to be cool and beats people up.
The one who was beaten was Qiao Jinglong, the chief executive of Fangzhou.
Qiao Jinglong represents Song Yang’s absolute jurisdiction in Fangzhou, and no one can ignore Qiao Jinglong’s representativeness.
That's why Song Yang didn't look good on Song Rui.
"Song Rui, remember! The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. In the future, you must not take advantage of your status to do evil! Otherwise, I will have to go to Uncle Wang of Ganzhou to talk!"
Song Yang gave Song Rui his final advice, and Song Rui repeatedly said that he would never make such a low-level mistake in the future.
He even swore he would never drink again.
The next day, Song Rui came early to say goodbye to Song Yang.
The purpose of this trip was to investigate the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon and see if it was true as stated in Fangzhou Wang's letter.
Yesterday's military exercise has proved everything.
Not only the squatting tiger cannon, but also the muskets impressed Song Rui deeply.
So he reiterated that he wanted to return to Ganzhou immediately.
He went back to persuade his father, Song Xi, the king of Ganzhou, to join Song Yang.
Only by holding Song Yang's thigh tightly can they sit firmly on the throne.
Song Rui can be sure that anyone who opposes Song Yang, regardless of background or status, will eventually fall under the cannon.
Song Yang has already made some guesses about Song Rui's farewell.
He didn't say any polite words to persuade him to stay, he just told him to be careful on the road and take good care of the King of Ganzhou when he returned.
Song Rui took his entourage on the way back to Zhangye in the afternoon.
…
Song Rui left.
The military exercise is also over.
Qiao Jinglong reported to Song Yang the development of all aspects of Fangzhou over the past year.
In terms of population, Fangzhou’s population has exceeded 800,000.
Of course, this includes the original total population of Fangzhou, Suizhou, and Xiangzhou.
After the three states merged, Song Yang refused to split them up.
And taking advantage of the situation, the merged Fangzhou was included as a directly controlled state.
Over the past year or so, Fangzhou's population has grown extremely rapidly.
Of the current 800,000 people, 300,000 are refugees who have poured in from outside.
Most of them are refugees from Huainan Road and Henan Road.
This year the Yellow River overflowed and Henan Road suffered severe flooding.
The people could only wander around.
Over in Fangzhou, Qiao Jinglong heard about the situation on Henan Road.
Immediately send people to recruit refugees at the border.
The conditions offered are quite generous.
Give me the land when you come!
On a per capita basis, children are also given!
Three acres per person!
Three acres of land may not sound like much, but for the refugees, their homes have been destroyed.
Being able to get three acres of land in Fangzhou is considered very good.
What's more, Qiao Jinglong also promised that next year's spring plowing seeds, tools and other production materials can be given to the refugees on credit at low prices, and they can pay them back until the autumn harvest.
As for livelihood this year...
Fangzhou has a lot of work: in addition to reconstruction work, there is also new town development, urban renovation, fortress construction, etc.
In short, you can eat as many refugees as you have.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Song Yang’s support.
Most of the excess grain in Jiangzhou was transported to Fangzhou for Qiao Jinglong to collect.
The effect is also very obvious, more than 200,000.
In just this year, we collected 200,000 people.
With the addition of 200,000 people, Fangzhou's development speed can be raised to another level.
Of course, in addition to Fangzhou, the surrounding Xiazhou, Jingzhou, Tangzhou, Yingzhou and other places also benefited.
They also proposed some policies, which although not as powerful as Fangzhou, can still absorb some labor force.
In addition to population growth, the economy has also achieved good results.
Under Qiao Jinglong's promotion, the ticket system has taken hold in Fangzhou.
When some people push people to cash out, the government can provide enough supplies for people to exchange.
After two or three attempts, the ticket system took hold.
Qiao Jinglong even thanked those who pushed the people to rush for supplies behind his back.
In order to thank those landlords and wealthy people, Qiao Jinglong specially sent them to travel under Luo Xin's command in Henan Province.
It doesn’t matter what kind of public transportation system you take...
Although the landlords and wealthy people are unwilling to leave Fangzhou, Qiao Jinglong has the support of the Renaissance Army, so they cannot leave.
Of course, Qiao Jinglong did not confiscate their property and could take away whatever they had.
Gold and silver that cannot be taken away will be purchased directly at market price.
At this point, the landlords could only leave obediently.
The smooth implementation of Qiao Jinglong's policies was indispensable to the construction of the Fuxing Army.
Since Wei Nan trained the Renaissance Army, he has recruited and established a Renaissance Army of 20,000 people.
And it continues to increase the size of the Renaissance Army as the population grows.
The newly established Fuxing Army is trained according to the Jiangzhou model.
And every soldier must accept the night school training of Jiangzhou Xinxue.
Especially in the ideological and moral courses, everyone must pass.
If you fail, you will be expelled from the Renaissance Army...
Therefore, the overall quality of the Fangzhou Renaissance Army is still very good.
At least there is nothing to say about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
As for combat effectiveness, Song Yang allocated a lot of muskets and sixty tiger cannons to Fangzhou.
These things are the confidence of the Fangzhou Renaissance Army and the confidence of Qiao Jinglong in carrying out reforms.
After listening to Qiao Jinglong's report, Song Yang was very satisfied with Fangzhou's various reform results.
After instructing Qiao Jinglong to continue the reform and leaving behind a team of audit officials, Song Yang took Yu Ming and Bai Wenju to continue their inspection of Shannan East Road.
The reason why Song Yang is so anxious is because Tong Qian is pregnant.
It's almost four months now, and Song Yang can't help but feel anxious.
He had to finish his business in Shannan East Road quickly so that he could send Tong Qian back to Jiangzhou to have the baby.
