Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth second fire burning a prairie
On the occasion of the New Year, the imperial city is decorated with lanterns and colors and swept clean.
The maids, big and small, stepped on the stools and swept the corners spotlessly.
There was quite a commotion, so Yang Lin went outside the imperial city and led a group of Taoist boys to have a boxing match.
People in the suburbs are often lucky enough to see officials boxing from a distance. As time goes by, people among the people imitate it.
This is also Yang Lin's intention to strengthen the people's physical fitness. No matter how much he talks, it is better to practice it and let them see it.
King Huai of Chu had a thin waist, and many people in his country often died of starvation.
In this era, the affairs of the emperor's family are always shrouded in mystery, making the people look forward to it.
Yang Lin deliberately always went to the outskirts of the imperial city to box. This set of boxing techniques was more suitable for popularization and strengthening the people's physique.
Taoists have never been those who cherish their broomsticks. Since the emperor is interested, they are happy to teach Five Elements Quan extensively.
The result is that before the New Year is over, the people in Bianliang City have already begun to imitate it.
After the boxing, it was still early and Yang Lin didn't want to go back to the palace, so he walked to the Mingtang outside the imperial city.
The guards along the way are all former subordinates of the Long Live Battalion. They are the true soldiers of the emperor.
Entering the famous hall, in addition to the old faces, there are two more people, Fan Zongyin and Song Jiang.
After the Privy Council was withdrawn, Han Shizhong went to the palace to express his sorrow to the emperor as if he were mourning.
Yang Lin appointed him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief, controlling all Chinese and foreign military forces. Except for the new army in the Beijing camp under Gao Bing, the rest of the troops were mobilized by the Commander-in-Chief.
However, unlike in the past, where one or two people were in charge of the Privy Council, in addition to the chief governor, the Five Army Governor's Office also has a governor's office for the central army, the left army's governor's office, the right army's governor's office, the front army's governor's office, and the rear army's governor's office.
.
When things happen, they must be discussed together and reported to the emperor to prevent his subordinates from taking power. This is also the reason why Yang Lin abolished the Privy Council. He himself seized power through the army, so he had to strengthen military power to prevent others from following suit.
The principle of a great governor is to lead and handle major military affairs in the world. Han Shizhong cried with joy, beat his chest loudly, and preached that he must serve loyally.
Song Jiang, the original privy envoy, went to the Mingtang to pay homage to the Prime Minister. This small official in Yuncheng finally realized the dream of all officials and became a general and a prime minister.
In this way, the official system of Daxia from top to bottom was very clear.
Including the two newly established provinces, there are a total of fifteen major provinces. The civil service system is that Zhongshu's disciples set up a hall in the central government, and local power is in the hands of the governor.
The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army is in charge of military power, while the governors of each province are responsible for local affairs.
The rest of the county system has not changed, except that two general managers have been systematically added to better manage the vast territory.
When everyone saw Yang Lin coming in, they all stood up to pay their respects. Yang Lin waved his hands and said, "Please take a seat, Gongming, why are you wearing such a hat?"
The top of Song Jiang's head was wrapped very tightly, which looked a bit unusual here.
Song Jiang's face was dark and red, and he said with some trepidation: "When I returned to the official house, I had led troops to encircle and suppress the upper Jingdao. The original intention was for Hua Rong to pretend to be the prince of Li Liao, but he didn't know that he refused to have his hair cut, but it was helpless.
I can only lead by example... This hair style has not been restored yet, so I put my head up to cover it up."
Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud, and everyone else also chuckled. Song Jiang didn't care at all, and laughed generously along with him.
When he was on Shangjing Road, Song Jiang led his men to attack the Jin Kingdom's base camp, and gained a great reputation among the Liao people.
Many Khitan people are willing to die for him. This man can unite people wherever he goes. He is truly a talent.
Yang Lin continued: "The engineering arms mentioned earlier must be independent of the infantry, cavalry and navy. Although this matter is a military matter, I am not prepared to let the Fifth Army Governor's Office intervene."
Fan Zongyin's eyes lit up and he said: "The official's words are a great kindness. This is the scope of the Ministry of Industry and it is our unshirkable responsibility."
Yang Lin nodded and said: "The other thing is that you have recently sent Wang Yun and several stewards from Xiulou, so that we can discuss a feasible method. If the private sector independently establishes factories and specializes in the construction of imperial projects, it will also be a good thing for the economy and people's livelihood.
Big boost.”
Wang Yun has handed over all his family's property to his son to take care of, and he is fully committed to handling the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.
His achievements are actually very great, especially in promoting the prosperity of private business and cooperating with the court to make many government orders easier to implement.
When Yang Lin was enthroning, he specially ordered him to go down and sent someone to reserve a seat for him so that he could witness the Zen enthronement ceremony along with the ministers and officials.
For businessmen in this era, this is a great honor, and it also makes the king's fortune more motivated.
----
The main force of public and private projects in the imperial court was being established, but during this period when the formation was not successful, the main force in development in the two provinces of Liaodong was still the people of Goryeo.
The civilian husbands of Goryeo participated in the whole battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty. In fact, Yang Ziqian said that Goryeo and the Song Dynasty worked together to destroy the Jin Dynasty, which makes some sense.
After all, although they did not have many achievements, they ensured the supply of materials, built roads and bridges, and built forts. There was no credit but hard work.
Today's Liaodong is home to more than 200,000 Goryeo civilians and soldiers. Once they escape the quagmire of Goryeo, they quickly feel the gap between the two countries.
Dissatisfaction with the Goryeo court fermented among the people like strong wine.
There is also the figure of Cui Hongxu, who vigorously promotes the theory of abolishing clans among the people, which only aggravates the dissatisfaction.
However, during this most critical period, Yang Ziqian was tricked by Yang Lin into going to Bianliang to attend the enthronement ceremony.
Yang Lin was extremely kind to him, rewarded him with a large sum of money, and also provided many weapons and horses.
After hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, no enemy dared to cry out around the world. Disarmament was inevitable.
During the war, workshops in various places were in full swing, accumulating a large number of weapons, armor, and arrows and equipment.
Yang Lin was worried about how to use it, so he simply sold it to Gao Li at a low price.
In fact, he had no good intentions. As for the regular army of the Goryeo court, if a civilian rebellion really happened in the future, they would not be their opponents.
Give some equipment and balance the strength of both sides, and the resistance will be much smaller when cleaning up the mess.
On the streets of Shenyang Prefecture, Cui Hongxu sat next to a bonfire, holding a bowl of rice in his hands after a hard day's work, and eating with a few people.
Although he has a high status among civilian husbands, his official status is still that of an ordinary civilian husband.
He spared no effort, not only doing the work himself, but also often doing the work of the ailing peasants so that they would not get paid.
An older civilian husband next to him whispered: "I heard from Commander Yang of the Song Army that when the foundation of Shenyang Mansion is laid, a group of civilians will be repatriated."
Cui Hongxu nodded, "I've heard about it too. If I go back first, I'm afraid I'll be killed by Yang Ziqian and his lackeys."
"Waiting to die is not an option, and praying for Yang Ziqian's mercy is even more absurd. We have to find a way."
