Yunzhou County, Prince Yun's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Woye County that Wang Cezhi and others have lost their carrier pigeons. It can be confirmed that they have indeed been imprisoned by the Shendu Kingdom according to the plan.
Currently, Commander Ding has launched an attack on the Youle defense line on the third day after receiving the signal. Until the news was sent back, the expeditionary force had fully captured the Youle defense line and should be attacking Kunti City at this moment! "
Wang Huaien quickly recounted the information reported back from Woye County. Zhao Jun, who had just returned from the meeting hall and took a sip of tea, nodded after hearing this, and then ordered:
"Wang Cezhi and the others sacrificed their own safety for our great cause in Yunzhou. Inform the secret guards to ensure their safety as much as possible, and not to let King Shendu really kill them."
Wang Huai'en nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the secret guards have infiltrated into King Shendu's capital. Now even the guards of Shendu's palace have our people. Now there are at least one-third of the guards guarding Lord Wang." They are all members of our secret guards. I believe it won't be long before the remaining guards will be at our disposal.
With their protection, King Shendu cannot harm Lord Wang and the others. "
"That's good."
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, the intelligence sent back by the secret guard yesterday said that the Shendu King is not the real Shendu King, what's going on?
Could it be that the current Shendu King is still a fake? "
Seeing Zhao Jun mention it, Wang Huai'en immediately told the news he had received: "According to our intelligence, the current King of Poison was still the eldest prince of Poison more than half a month ago."
Zhao Jun suddenly said: "In other words, the old Poison King has passed away, and this is the new one who has ascended the throne?"
Wang Huai'en shook his head and explained: "Based on what we found, this poisonous prince doesn't look like he is in a normal position.
It's more like..."
At this point, Wang Huaien paused and glanced at Zhao Jun secretly.
Zhao Jun said angrily: "Okay, stop being so secretive. Do you just mean that the current Shendu King came to power through a coup?"
Then Zhao Jun said with some doubts: "But since he has succeeded in the coup, isn't he the current King of Shendu?
How could the secret guard say such ambiguous things again? "
Wang Huaien explained: "Because the eldest prince has not completely suppressed all the forces in the country, and there is a fourth prince who holds hundreds of thousands of troops to guard his fiefdom, so although the eldest prince's coup was successful, he has never officially After he ascended the throne, some officials did not recognize his identity as the Poison King.
That's why the secret guard said that he was the Body Poison King, but not the Body Poison King, giving such an ambiguous response. "
When Zhao Jun heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he murmured: "You haven't ascended the throne yet?"
Then he looked at Wang Huaien and asked: "How many soldiers does the fourth prince have? How much territory does he occupy?"
Wang Huaien understood what his prince meant, and shook his head helplessly and said: "The fourth prince only had 200,000 troops, and only occupied one county. He was completely surrounded by the eldest prince. It was only a matter of time before he was captured. question.
And if we hadn't suddenly sent envoys to Shendu this time, maybe the prince would have been captured. "
Zhao Jun's brows, which were still a little happy just now, furrowed again. He sat back down and tapped his fingers lightly on the table for a moment before gradually relaxing his brows and sighing: "Well, since there is not much territory, sustainability is not If it's not big, then it's not necessary.
Send an order to Ding Hongguang that by the end of the twelfth lunar month at the latest, I will hear the news of Shen Du's surrender.
Let the soldiers have a good Spring Festival.
I also hope to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with a truce treaty! "
"My slave understands!"
Zhao Jun nodded, and suddenly raised his finger that was tapping the table and said:
"Inform Li Yi and the others that no matter what, the supply of equipment and materials for the front line must be sufficient. When necessary, they can be allowed to mobilize no more than 200,000 people to join the logistics and transportation. Any excess expenses will be covered by the palace."
"yes!"
…
Soon the Yunzhou County Yamen received an order from the palace.
Previously, due to limitations in civilian power and routes, the logistics pressure on the rear after the expeditionary force started was always great, and the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Office has always been strong in ensuring logistics supply.
But if the intensity of the war increases again, there will be a risk of supply shortages in logistics.
Now that the palace had agreed, Li Yi and others, who had almost lost all their hair, were overjoyed and immediately issued a decree in the three counties to recruit 200,000 people to transport military supplies to the front line.
In order to consume as little as possible the people's power of the people of Song Dynasty, this time for the first time, no more than 30% of the poisonous people were allowed to participate in the transportation process of materials.
Yunzhou County will also provide certain benefits to those poisoned people who are willing to participate in transportation.
According to the current policy arrangements of Yunzhou County, schools will be opened in the three counties one after another in the spring of next year.
All Song children who reach the school age of four can enter the school.
The cost of repairs was also very cheap. Each person only had to pay ten kilograms of grain per month, which was used as a salary for the teachers in the school.
As for the books, pens, ink, and meals used by the students, they are all subsidized by the finance allocated by the county government.
Yunzhou County also allocates planned funds every year to subsidize these schools.
Providing basic cultural education to all Song people was a policy proposed at the latest policy revision meeting held after Zhao Jun returned.
Since Yunzhou County's revenue and expenditure this year is already in deficit, the financial subsidy for the first year will be provided by Prince Yun's Mansion. Prince Yun's Mansion will invest 10 million taels for the construction of schools in various places and all expenses in the first year after the schools start enrolling students.
Then starting from the second year, all funding for schools will be allocated from Yunzhou County Yamen to local Yamen, and then from local Yamen to each school.
Regarding this education funding, Zhao Jun strongly emphasized at the meeting that this funding can only be used exclusively for special purposes, and no one is allowed to touch a penny of it. Anyone who dares to reach out will not listen to any sophistry once it is verified. Leave no one behind!
Their family members are not allowed to engage in politics, the military, business, or work within three generations.
It will be restricted to land cultivation for three generations, and the ban will be gradually lifted.
The officials in Yunzhou County also saw from Zhao Jun's tough attitude that Zhao Jun attached great importance to this matter, and secretly warned themselves.
As for all the poisonous people participating in this transportation, if there are more than three people in each family participating in the transportation, one of their children can be allowed to study in the school with the same treatment as the children of the Song Dynasty.
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar among the poisonous people in the entire Yunzhou County.
This is certainly not a good thing for those poisonous people who originally belonged to a higher caste.
But this is the policy issued by Yunzhou County. Now they have no ability to oppose it and can only obey it. By the way, they will do everything possible to get the 30% of the quota.
For the lower-level poisonous people of the Shugyo caste, this is nothing less than a bolt from the blue!
In the past, only those nobles with barking or above were qualified to learn knowledge.
A large number of low-level hand spinners like them are absolutely not allowed to come into contact with such a sacred thing as knowledge.
But now they actually have the opportunity to let their descendants have access to knowledge. Even if it is not knowledge that they originally had, in their opinion, as long as it is knowledge, it is sacred and is beyond their original reach.
Therefore, there is an even greater desire to participate in transportation and obtain quotas.
Due to the crazy registration of a group of people with drug addiction, only 30% of the places were snatched up frantically, and even less than 60,000 places were snatched up in one day.
Those who got a spot were naturally overjoyed, while those who didn't got a spot started crying outside the registration point.
It can be said that under the temptation of quota, all kinds of poisonous people are clearly displayed in front of people.
Of course, Zhao Jun did not allow the poisonous person to enter the school at will. That was all well thought out.
In Nanli County and Woye County under the rule of Yunzhou County, poisonous people were greatly restricted.
The first thing is that whether they are originally from high castes or low castes, they are restricted to the local area and are not allowed to leave the local area at will.
In daily life, people in the Song Dynasty were able to use iron tools, but for poisonous people, whenever someone found an iron tool in their home, the whole family would be executed on the day they were discovered.
Zhao Jun once ordered that no iron products be allowed to fall into the hands of poisonous people without permission.
Because in Nanli County and Woye County, although there are now hundreds of thousands and nearly one million Song people living there, the majority of the people in these two places are still poisonous people.
Nowadays, the Song people's biggest advantage over the Shendu people is still iron weapons. If iron weapons are allowed to be used by the Shendu people at will, Zhao Jun cannot guarantee whether the careerists among the Shendu people will transport the iron weapons to the Shendu country or use them. Ironware makes trouble.
Letting someone with an unstable body poison control iron weapons at will is tantamount to causing trouble for oneself.
Before these poisonous people are completely naturalized, Zhao Jun will never allow the poisonous people to come into contact with iron tools.
As for the planning standards for poisonous people, Zhao Jun's vision requires at least three generations, and the first generation is not trusted.
In the second generation, Yunzhou County can select some people from the body poisoning people to learn the culture of the Song people, so that they can have a sense of belonging to the Song people's culture, and thus become the middlemen for the Song people to control the body poisoning.
When the third generation gradually popularizes basic education, it will carry out cultural invasion on all the next generation of body poisoning, making them completely belong to Song culture. Only then can they be exposed to iron tools.
It will be until the fourth generation that these poisonous people will be allowed to start intermarrying with other foreign races under the Song people.
Only the fifth generation who fully recognized the Song people's physical poisoning allowed intermarriage with Song people and had the right to join the regular army and the right to work in the yamen, and completely integrated into the Song people.
Of course, even if they participate in the army and yamen, their official positions will be limited to the middle and lower levels. In Zhao Jun's vision, the core of the top management must be entirely Song people.
Zhao Jun believed that it would take close to five generations to truly and completely integrate these poisonous people into the Song people, so that they would no longer have any thoughts of resistance.
Of course, for some Shendu people who have made special contributions to Yunzhou, the progress can be accelerated to serve as an incentive for other Shendu people, but the conditions for acceleration will also be set up to be particularly harsh, and the upper limit will also be restricted. , up to the middle level.
This is Zhao Jun's integration policy for these poisonous people.
Of course, at present, only the top leaders of Yunzhou have a common understanding of these policies, and they have also heard a little bit about them among middle- and lower-level officials.
But everyone will implement it tacitly and will not show it on the surface.
Everyone will form a tacit understanding of the agreement and proceed slowly.
