They were discussing the age at which the eldest prince would marry and give birth to the third-generation heir. They were finally pulled back from the topic by the furious Zhao Jun.
Everyone sat aside with their heads covered, not daring to speak anymore. In front of them, Zhao Jun was breathing heavily, with one hand on his hip and the other holding his own exclusive straw sandals.
The grass clippings from the straw sandals flew everywhere. This was caused by the straw sandals hitting a few guys' heads just now.
Zhao Jun no longer had the cold demeanor of a prince in the past. His sharp eyes like a falcon scanned several people one by one, causing those who were scanned to shrink their necks.
After a while, Zhao Jun finally regained his breath. He glared at a few people coldly before throwing his shoes on the ground and putting them on. Then he sat back down and said in a cold voice:
"Don't talk nonsense. I came to you today to talk about business. If I hear someone say anything irrelevant again, I'll watch your heads carefully!"
The five people hurriedly nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, and then Zhao Jun snorted and allowed them to sit down again.
After everyone was seated, Zhao Jun took the lead in setting the agenda for today.
"What I just said was the news that the secret guards detected in advance. Although it has been sent back in time, it is not much faster. Now the team announcing the decree in the capital is estimated to have arrived near the Liaoyun Pass and will arrive at Yunzhou City in the near future. .
When they arrive, they will inevitably observe the scenes along the way and report back to their father, but the current situation in our Yunzhou County must not be exposed.
So we have to hide our clumsiness as much as possible! "
Hidden clumsiness?
Li Yi and the other five looked at their prince with puzzled faces.
Zhao Jun explained: "Now, the places that distinguish our Yunzhou County from other counties must be hidden so that the team announcing the decree cannot see it.
What they want to believe is that our Yunzhou County is in a barren area. In addition, we just fought with the Tatars from abroad a few years ago, so the situation is even worse!
The streets will be filled with scrawny homeless people, and there won't be as many shops as there are now. Before the external propaganda team leaves, some of the things that should be closed will be closed, leaving only a few inconspicuous and important places.
Also, especially the military camp, you just fought a battle with the Tatars last year, which can be considered a meritorious service. Due to circumstances and reasons, my father will order this team to go and express condolences to you.
So Guan Ning, your military camp must also show that there are disabled and wounded soldiers everywhere, and you have to pay a great price to defeat the Tatars. Do you understand? "
Hearing this, Guan Ning scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My lord, I understand what you mean, but how can I create that look?"
Zhao Jun waved his hand and said: 00 "You don't have to worry about this. It's very simple. First, hide those energetic elites and recruits or go home for a few days on vacation.
Just leave the wounded soldiers and some soldiers guarding the camp. It doesn't matter if there are not enough wounded soldiers. A group of wounded soldiers happened to be brought back here recently. If you lay them out, the wounds will definitely be serious! "
Seeing that the prince directly gave the solution, Guan Ning immediately showed joy and nodded happily: "Don't worry, prince, I will definitely perform this scene well, and no one from the capital will find anything wrong!"
"Well, just try hard."
Zhao Jun nodded in encouragement, then looked at Li Yi and Yun Li, and said: "The shops on the street and the scene that needs to be created in the city depend on you two.
What you have to do is very simple, just restore Yunzhou County to the way it was five years ago. This should be no problem, right? "
Li Yi nodded first, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, those refugees are easy to talk about. It just so happens that the last batch of refugees have just been resettled. It can be done by giving them some money to let them act.
Shops on the streets and so on, some that did not exist in Yunzhou County before, were asked to close down first, and the entrances were all made simple. For places like Hongxiu Pavilion, we directly removed their decorative ribbons and plaques, and declared the decree like this The angels in the team (in ancient times, the emperor's messengers were also called angels, no typo) should not be visible.
cocoa……"
Seeing Li Yi hesitating, Zhao Jun immediately scolded him dissatisfied: "What are you hesitating about? What on earth are you doing? How come you, a county guard, are still afraid of this and that?"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, finally speaking out.
But Your Majesty, we can’t hide the roads and the ground in Yunzhou County. People can see them at a glance and they can be seen everywhere. We can’t smash them all, right?
When Zhao Jun heard that this was the question, he couldn't help but frown and began to think deeply.
After a while, Zhao Jun suddenly slapped the table and said: "That's it! Let them see it. We also have to expose something. After all, the whole Song Dynasty knows that our Yunzhou County has taken in so many people. We need to raise them." Yunzhou County must have a way to make money.
Although the iron smelting industry we exposed earlier is also profitable, it may not be enough in their view.
Let’s expose the cement this time! Whenever someone asks why our floors are all paved with this kind of gray-white stone, you immediately say that this is a new product of Yunzhou County. For the experimental effect, it was first used in Yunzhou County, and now the effect is very good. , Yunzhou County is considering selling this thing into the customs to earn some money and provide more food for the victims.
I believe that as long as anyone with brains hears about the role of cement, he will definitely be moved. By then, our Yunzhou County may have an extra source of income. "
Li Yi and others all agreed after listening.
"Your Majesty is a great talent. This kind of plan to kill two birds with one stone cannot be thought of by anyone but your Majesty!"
"Yes! Your Majesty is right, let's just do it this way and say this way, so that we can fool it."
…
Zhao Jun ended the first topic under the flattery of his beloved, and then he started the second topic, which was how to deal with various arrangements in Yunzhou County during his stay in the capital?
The first target was the military. Now the escort army was still fighting against Shen Du on the front line of Nanli County. The latest battle reports were sent back almost all the time. Some urgent matters still required the nod of King Yun from him.
Regarding this point, Zhao Jun's arrangements started when he left Beijing. Some small matters in the army could be decided by Guan Ning and Ding Hongguang through discussion.
And some medium-level events, such as the promotion of some mid-level officers, etc., can be decided by themselves if they do not reach the military level.
But once matters at the military level are involved, they must be reported to him for decision. As for how to communicate the matter between the two places thousands of miles apart, Zhao Jun naturally has a way to end it.
Before coming to Yunzhou County, the secret guards used homing pigeons to deliver messages. Since arriving in Yunzhou County, those who are near the water and towers have the moon first. Among the secret guards, the bird master immediately abandoned the character and began to train creatures like hawks. .
In the end, he actually succeeded, and from then on, the secret guards delivered news very quickly.
After all, an eagle can fly at a speed of more than three hundred miles an hour. Counting rest time throughout the day, a letter eagle can deliver messages at a speed of thousands of miles a day.
From here to Bianjing, it will not exceed two thousand miles. It takes a month for people to walk, but Eagle Flying can only take a day or two at most. It is fully capable of handling related matters in a timely manner. For some emergencies, Zhao Jun also gave them discretionary measures. .
It can be said that there should be no problems before I come back.
As for political affairs...
Zhao Jun looked at Li Yi and the three of them. The three of them stood up and waited with their backs and heads lowered, waiting for the prince to speak...
