Thinking of Liang Xiao's determined expression before leaving, the two sisters couldn't help but lose consciousness.
How could it be easier to achieve such an ambitious goal in just ten years?
However, they were willing to believe his words.
Just like newspapers, sugar, salt-drying methods, those weapons, and the reborn 2,400 Liang Jiajun... He can always bring surprises.
Duan Yunyi thought of something and said softly: "Sister, the song you sang just now is so beautiful. Can you teach me a lesson?"
Duan Yunxiu came back to his senses, looked at her, and agreed with a smile.
Her lovesickness...who is she singing to?
After consultations between the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of War, the Zhou court issued conscription orders to all parts of the country, totaling 200,000.
After several months of salt policy reform, local government treasury revenue increased by more than 8 million taels of silver.
The Tuoba family "donated" and confiscated more than 10.2 million taels of silver.
In this way, the national treasury has actually received an increase of 20 million taels of silver compared with previous years, and has enough energy to do many things.
Zhuge Liannu, Divine Arm Crossbow, Eight Ox Crossbow...
The weapons supervisor has been taken back by Duan Yunyi and is under the care of Xuanwei, who is mass-producing new weapons.
Yanzhou, the exclusive northern military camp of the Liang Family Army.
Liang Xiao on the stage looked at the dense crowd of people below the stage with great pride.
There are as many candidates as Liang Jiajun, and many people who come to take the exam are worried that the quota will be filled up in advance, so they rush to apply for the test.
The selection, which originally lasted for seven days, ended in three days.
Too many people applied...
The treatment of the Liang family army is exactly the standard for elite soldiers, and these are actually the private soldiers of Liang Xiao who are nominally loyal to the court. With the privilege of being supported by the empress, they will definitely live better than ordinary elite soldiers.
But Liang Xiao learned from the sergeant in charge of selection that there was actually another reason.
The appearance of these two thousand four hundred first batch of Liang Jiajun made them admire them very much.
After just a few months of training, these people have the appearance of elite soldiers, making them more willing to join the army.
"Marquis Lanling, be careful that there may be enemy spies sneaking in here." Lin Xiu reminded.
Liang Xiao looked calm and said: "Don't worry, it's expected. But as long as you join our Liang family army and want to be a spy, you will naturally have nothing to hide!"
Since ancient times, espionage has been common in the military, but being a spy in the military is not always easy.
Liang Xiao is well versed in "employing five troops" and modern people's awareness of precautions. If the trick is still easy to succeed, he should go back to the drawing board and reinvent himself.
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Lin Xiu was relieved and reminded: "Marquis Lanling, what do you want to say to the soldiers?"
Liang Xiao understood, walked to the stage, and personally recited the military law he had set.
When the soldiers below saw his majestic and bold aura, they couldn't help but feel frightened and did not dare to make any noise.
"In addition, there is the most important thing. Without my permission, anyone who dares to take even a stitch from the people will be severely punished!"
"It can be as light as twenty military sticks, or as heavy as this wood!"
As soon as Liang Xiao finished speaking, he casually took out Longquan from his waist and cut off a crossbar on the weapon rack next to him with a sword.
"If I'm here, I'll execute you on the spot! If you're not, I'll execute you with a saber!"
The whole audience was in awe.
Liang Xiao beheaded Gong Yanglei in public, which had a profound impact.
In addition to angering the Gongyang family and the students of Yanzhou Academy, of course it also had an impact on the people.
No one dares to disbelieve Liang Xiao’s decree!
They have witnessed with their own eyes that the public security in Yanzhou has been getting better day by day recently.
The number of officers, soldiers and policemen on the streets has decreased by half compared to before, but no one dares to bully men and women in the streets!
It can be said that they are here now to join the Liang Family Army.
The 10,000 Liang Jiajun have been selected, with Zhuge Ding as the regiment leader and Lei Hong as the deputy regiment commander and captain of the 2,400 original troops.
"Meat is provided today! Training begins!"
Liang Xiao gave the order, and Zhuge Ding immediately arranged training.
The training in the military camp is in full swing.
Liang Xiao finally returned home with confidence.
Zhuge Ding and Lei Hong were both civil and military, and Lin Xiu was there to help them on weekdays, so there would be no trouble.
In contrast, Liang Jiajun's food supply is also a top priority.
In the prefect's mansion, Qin Baili presented the list to Liang Xiao.
"The big and small butchers in the Yanzhou area are willing to provide livestock to the Liang family army, including some cattle that cannot be farmed, but they also expressed their wish to be protected by the prefecture."
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "Tell them that normal supply is enough. As long as the prefect's residence is here, they will have a bite of food to eat."
Qin Baili immediately went to inform.
Liang Xiao then asked Qin Xun, the chief registrar: "Do those aristocratic families have a lot of land in the farm market in the city?"
Qin Xun also presented recent observation records.
"Marquis Lanling, the aristocratic family has transferred more than half of the land. We suspect that some people supported by the Tuoba clan may have secretly transferred it to other aristocratic families..."
"You mean they are worried about being implicated and plan to sell their land and leave?" Liang Xiao said with a smile.
Qin Xun nodded.
"How do you know this information?" Liang Xiao asked.
Qin Xun said: "I went to see them. Their behavior was suspicious, and their appearance was closer to that of Beihu people."
Liang Xiao suddenly realized.
After the disaster of moving the capital, the Great Zhou Dynasty was on the defensive against Beihu, and its majesty plummeted.
Under the intervention of the big families headed by the Duanmu family, the Great Zhou Dynasty was forced to let all parts of the northern border go.
A large number of Beihu people entered the northern border from that time, and the Duanmu family euphemistically called it commerce.
The situation at that time forced Shizu to compromise to a certain extent, and he adopted a compromise plan to avoid further loss of power and humiliation to the country.
Later, under the arrangements of Marquis Dingguo, various places in the northern border gradually began to restrict the entry of Beihu people.
Major aristocratic families approached Shizu to impeach Marquis Dingguo, and Shizu also sent people to the north to "persuad".
Marquis Dingguo was unusually tough and refused to give in.
Faced with the military order of Marquis Dingguo to "only enter but not exit", Beihu talents restrained themselves.
It was not until recently that Liang Xiao knew that the reason why Marquis Dingguo was so tough was actually Zhugehui's suggestion and Shizu's instruction.
Black faces and white faces, dealing with these aristocratic families.
The Tuogu important minister of the Great Zhou Emperor and the successor personally selected by Wu Sheng, Lao Dingguohou had a decisive influence in the country, especially in the military circles.
These aristocratic families do not have the military power to compete with them, and they do not dare to offend them too much and try to win over them instead.
Duanmu Yuncheng pursues Mu Qinxue wholeheartedly, not only because of his own love, but also because of Duanmu's elders.
Just like Zhenyuan Hou Nangong Lei, he finally boarded the big ship of the aristocratic family.
"Immediately release the news that the governor's office is preparing to continue to raise the price. At the same time, I will purchase the land in my own name."
Liang Xiao's words made Qin Xun puzzled.
From an outsider's perspective, what Liang Xiao did was equivalent to raising the price of food and seizing the opportunity to enclose land.
After all, with the current food shortage, those fields will not be able to harvest for a while, and the famine will lead to population loss.
Without tenant farmers to cultivate the land, the price of land naturally plummeted.
By the time Yanzhou's autumn harvest comes, the imperial court may have already sent grain here, and the autumn harvest grain may not be valuable by then...
Liang Xiao's move is bound to arouse public outrage, especially the group of scholars at Yanzhou Academy, who will inevitably be criticized verbally and writtenly.
Qin Xun told Liang Xiao his concerns.
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Just do it."
The Prefect's Mansion posted a corresponding notice.
Sure enough, another stone stirred up a thousand waves.
