Chapter 1711:

In Li Cong’s army, such things happen every day. Although ideological education is very important, the influence of money interests will be even more important. The army on the earth is like this. You are very powerful, and the soldiers have it in their hearts. Centripetal force, but no matter how powerful you are, these soldiers also need to eat, so most of the time Li Cong thinks about how to use money to impress them, just like now, these soldiers also know that Li Cong is the court. The powerful characters gave them a lot of money, and they were all willing to stay here. In the end, this competition did not go on because Li gathered urgently from there. It was already time to rest at this time. They will assemble in an emergency. The soldiers all looked at their chief with their own questions. The answer from their chief is that it is their bounden duty to obey orders.
"Get reliable information. The city lord of Tianhong County in the northwest of the imperial capital has close contacts with the Southern Empire. You immediately surrounded the city of Rainbow County, and when you found the opportunity, you immediately went in and captured the city lord alive." The command was very simple, but they were dumbfounded immediately. The lord of this county city is nothing, it's just that this Tianhong county city is the queen mother's lair, how could there be a connection with the Southern Empire? But the order was clearly written like that. The order was sent to the generals. The rest of the matter depends on how these generals choose. Anyway, no matter who comes to ask, the general’s camp is just one sentence. Obeying the order is the duty of the soldier. The next thing was not something they had to take care of. Then Li Cong hid in the dark with a few generals to see their reaction. Such things will often appear in the army of later generations, just to verify theirs. Trust, but here.. This is the first time this kind of thing is done. Many generals don’t know what to do. They just don’t move. When the general comes to say this order in person, Li Cong was already Having said that, seeing one's own notes is one's own command, obviously these people's brains don't remember much.
"Report to the general. General Wu Hai has led his 37,000 soldiers out of the camp." Fifteen minutes later, which was a preparation time, Wu Hai had already left the camp with his own men. After going out, the other camps were basically silent, but one-third of the camps had already begun preparations, and they were all already in armor. You can go out immediately with just one command, which is pretty good. After all, it took less than half a month for Li Congcai to recruit people, and it is impossible for him to be like Wu Hai.
In fact, no one else knew about this test, and Wu Hai himself didn’t know about it. This kid knew that Li Cong’s order must be correct. He also said about the two generals next to him, but they didn’t think it was. Right, how could the queen mother's nephew betray the empire? This seems a bit unreasonable. The Ulanala clan is just like the second royal family. How could they betray themselves? Although the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and them is getting farther and farther, this is not the reason why they want to betray the empire. Their greatest power is still on the side of the empire. If the empire is fornicating, how could they establish such a power in the southern empire, so these thoughtful generals have already prepared a lot of excuses one by one, and prepare for Li to talk to Li when he appears. Let's talk. Is this matter under investigation? At this time, Wu Hai took his army out. Everyone knew about Wu Hai’s affairs. They all knew that Wu Hai followed Li Cong and followed Li Cong closely. Children’s achievements. So some of them moved too, but they didn't move out, just prepared for war.
Zhang Huazhao is a kid who can see the limelight. He doesn't know how to feel. Anyway, he just knows that this thing is not as simple as it seems. It should be followed by Wu Hai, but now their generals don’t want to prepare. Up. They didn’t make people move at all. Their general Zhang Huazhao also knew him. This guy can be said to be okay. It’s really hard to tell what will happen when facing a war. It would be embarrassing for a person to command tens of thousands of people. , But where is the level of the other person? Even if Li Cong is forming a new army, he can’t sit in the general position by himself. This level must also be sufficient. Zhang Huazhao squeezed his hand vigorously. If you don’t use your hands at this time, you might not have a chance. Wu Hai has been out for more than an hour, and he might be there in the new army these few days. When it comes out, this new army is different from other armies whether it is defending the city or attacking. It is very likely that they will have more than 30,000 people in a county. If there is no action at this time, it may not have gone. What's the credit? This kid has started activities. Don't look at the kid as a squad leader, but this time Li Cong recruited so many noble children to come in. These noble children are very good at seeing things. Among them is Zhang Huazhao. There are also a lot of people who have eyesight. Isn’t life just a gamble? A few people are winners and most people are losers. Zhang Huazhao is ready to go to the camp of a few people right now. It’s impossible for most people. He won, so he contacted more than a dozen small bosses who were similar to him. Unfortunately, they only had less than a thousand people under them. These people would not be of any use even if they went out.
"What are you doing.. Don't you know that this is the general's camp? What do you want to do? This is a rebellion, and this is a big crime to beheaded." Zhang Huazhao, the kid did it, took a few that are usually good My buddies their general. An important reason for this success is that the general’s guard leader has a good relationship with Zhang Huazhao, and this guy named Zhou Tao also feels that what Zhang Huazhao said is right, and the chance is that. For a moment, if you can't seize it, it will be impossible to encounter such an opportunity in the future.
"General, we didn’t kidnap you today. You have seen the situation outside. If we can catch it today, all of us in this camp will be astonished. If this is like you, here Stay here, look at our whole camp. Millions of people are here. I tell you, this opportunity will only be given to a few people. Most people are mediocre people. We are all Those who are among the dragons and phoenix are naturally the few. Most people’s work is left to them.
Zhang Huazhao said to his general. In fact, he himself has the rank of a baron, which is higher than the guy in front of him. Well, it's a pity that this title can't be served as a meal. If you want to mobilize this battalion, you can't rely on your own title to do things, you have to get this guy up. But at this moment the general was so frightened that he would pee his pants.
"Nonsense, what the majority of the minority do. If others are fine, we must be fine. I said you aristocrats just don't know how to settle down. If we go out, who will be responsible if something goes wrong? You can afford it. Isn’t it? I’m not in charge yet.
The general said angrily. He knew this too. If something really happened, it wouldn’t be possible to kill tens of thousands of people in the whole camp. Only one head lost at that time. That is the head of this guy. Speaking of them, they were gambling with other people's heads. Naturally, this person would not agree to it, and at a loss.
"How could it be? You always know who Wu Hai is. At the time, Wu Hai was a soldier and was in charge of more than a thousand people. Now he is the number one general among you. It’s a human being, and the imposing manner under them, if I say it is a raging soldier, and a raging nest, not to follow the guys nonsense." Zhang Huazhao knows that time is very urgent now, and there is no such time to tell this guy so much truth. . Going up and coming up with a hand knife on this guy’s neck, this guy fainted. These people in the room were also courageous. They didn’t feel the consequences of their actions at all. They brought the generals. The generals put on the clothes of the generals and they are about to start acting, and each one of them is not too excited, that's it. Fifteen minutes later they were the second army to break out of the barracks.
They were stopped 30 miles outside the camp. It was Li Cong’s guards who stopped them. They told them that the news was wrong. They rested here for one night. It's time to go back. These guys have thumbs up in their hearts. Li Cong really tried to test them, but they are all thanks to Zhang Huazhao. If it weren't for Zhang Huazhao, they would not have the luck to get here. Anyway, as Zhang Huazhao said now, they are a minority in that part. Wu Hai over there seems to have known such things a long time ago. There is not much joy at all. In fact, Wu Hai is not I know, it’s just that he heard about such a thing when he was in Guangming City, that’s why this guy would do things like that, otherwise he wouldn’t have done such extraordinary things. Li's arrangement from there is always profound. Unpredictable.
It was very confusing for them this evening, but until dawn, no soldiers and horses came over. Li Cong talked about this in front of the barracks. It was a pity that all the people in the remaining barracks were affected. After the punishment, three meals became one meal. This training cannot be reduced at all. This is only for the soldiers. For those generals, they may be the most miserable. Dozens of generals have all been demoted to one level. , Has become a lieutenant, but is still responsible for the original things. Although you still care about the original things, it is not the same as before. It turned out that you are a general, but now you are just a lieutenant. As long as you have a slight problem You will be withdrawn right away, and there are many people staring at the general's position, and many generals feel the instability under their ass.
There was also a great reward for Wu Hai’s army in the first battalion. Wu Hai was promoted to the captain of the two battalions. In addition to his own tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people from another battalion were returned to Wu Hai’s camp. Going down, the whole camp has a reward of 100,000 yuan. The second army who went out made a decision not to punish or reward after Li Cong understood the reasons. They followed their orders and left the camp. This should be a reward, but they The kidnapping of his own leader is absolutely impossible in the army. Such a person must be strictly controlled. But Li Cong, Zhang Huazhao, can see clearly the ability of this kid. The ability of this kid is very good, and the organization He was also very capable. He promoted this kid to the captain, and he had 500 more soldiers. But what made Zhang Huazhao depressed was that one of his lieutenants was his old adversary, a grandson of Hua Mingxiong, and many people in the Chinese family It’s good to mix in the army, and naturally there will be their people in Li Cong’s new army. At the beginning, Zhang Huazhao thought that he would not have run into their people by coincidence. Now it seems that his luck is still It's not very good. What he didn't know was that this matter had nothing to do with his luck. Li Cong thought that this guy was too courageous to do the truth, and it would be better for someone to manage this kid. So Li Cong thought of the people of the Hua family, and he would certainly not be so lawless to do things under the hands of the Hua family.
It was already two days after the old Zhang family learned the news. They also had mixed joys and sorrows. What's happy is that their son is indeed a good material for military service. It has been a long time since I entered a school lieutenant. It is not without such a thing. It's just that what happened to his dude son is very suspicious, and the other one is just as Zhang Huazhao thought. His boss is from the Chinese family. This is not a good thing. These people remember the events of the previous period very clearly. They will not let their sons off so much. If they are in other army, maybe they You can find something to do with it, but don’t think about it here. Li Cong’s new army seemed to be isolated from the outside world during the three-month training period. Letters and other things are fine, but someone needs to check it. . There is no door to pass something out.
When the training entered for half a month, the name Zhang Huazhao came into Li Cong's sight again. This kid really has the ability to lead soldiers. In the past, maybe his talents were not shown. This kid was actually in the cavalry. Created a battle line attack method, that is, dozens of cavalry quickly rushed past in a narrow place. Then he violently released the weapon in his hand, and immediately retreated when there was no ammunition, and immediately replenished it. This kid must have never seen Li Cong's new army in Guangming City do this. He can rely on his own mind. Thinking of these truths is impressive, Li Cong courageously promoted this guy to a partial general. This kid now has 5,000 people under his hand, which is considered okay. Except for this kid, most of the other noble children are doing troubles, and serious things are useless.
The large-scale examination a month later made many people in the new army very distressed. They thought they were already a qualified soldier here, but the ruthless scores let them see the gap between themselves and those qualified soldiers. They will all go home with their own blankets, and perhaps some local troops want them, but they have been in the new army for a long time, and they all understand the meaning of the army. Here is a good army. In the army outside, you might be able to touch your own ambitions. Prince Gong arrived in the army only today. He was on behalf of the emperor to look at the training situation of the new army. The month’s military payment was sent. Although the imperial finances were a little bit more than they could make ends meet, the money that was promised to the new army was still indispensable. If it was originally given, it was even more important.
"His Majesty, the Emperor has already ordered the suspension of entertainment in the palace next month for the payment of your new army. This has deducted three million gold coins from the inner library. Although it is not a lot, the heart of the emperor is very great. It can be understood.
Prince Gong said with a smile. Although this guy is Li Cong’s ally, he should not let him know about certain things. He doesn’t know what the emperor is controlling. The emperor understood that even when the war began, this guy would not be willing to stop his entertainment. More often, he was thinking about how to embezzle military expenses to make his life more comfortable. Such things It can be said that it is definitely the first time. There are also many dissatisfied voices in the harem, but after the concubine beloved by the two emperors is abolished, no one will come out to speak about this matter, and the maidens in the harem also said Some of his unused gorgeous things were taken out and donated to the empire for the emperor to use for military expenses. Li had never thought of such a thing. Hualong probably thought of this from the beginning. These imperial concubines are very The rich, but the local tyrants who don't beat them are sorry for them.
"I don't train the army for myself, but the emperor's money is spent for his own old man. If you change you, you will definitely be willing to pay the money." Li Cong said with a smile, if others see Li Cong will definitely accuse him of this analogy. Prince Gong’s expression is also a bit unnatural. Li Cong’s tone of speech is really too casual. If this is heard by others, he must be blamed. Compared to the emperor, how can you say anything like this, but there are only two of them here, and you don't need to care about it.
"Let’s not talk about these things for now. I worked out a strategy with my staff. Your army can be moved to the station in two months. This is the 27 counties around our station. I think the first step is We must start from these 27 counties. If we take these places down, even if the plan to control the entire empire has completed the first step, it’s just that there are a lot of difficulties. These places have power. At the time, it was more difficult to deal with than the central forces.
Prince Gong took some paper and said, Prince Gong is not just a book from the Ministry of Households, but also knows a lot about some military matters. This is not just a sentence from Li Cong. The words made a plan. Li Cong was just an idea at the beginning, and what he thought was to start with these three rapid reaction barracks. Slowly start a new reshuffle of the entire empire. It’s easy first and then difficult. Don’t try to conspire if it’s so powerful. You don’t have the ability to make too many enemies. It’s not a good thing to make too many enemies. If the city himself didn't get it, he would be a little too sorry for himself. These twenty-seven counties should not belong to those who are not in charge, otherwise Prince Gong wouldn't have said much.
"It's the first time that I have dealt with local forces. The king thinks what is the biggest difficulty for us in these 27 counties? I have seen all the terrain. These places are indeed what we should have taken. In terms of good or bad, I think these places should belong to the best county towns.
Li Cong looked at the above information and said, if no one owns such a fertile place, this would be a strange thing. Everyone wants good things and good places, but there is only one place, and there will naturally be fights. Then over the years, these places have changed hands many times. These people can survive the melee, and naturally they are all. He has his own ability. It is not so easy to solve them. In fact, Li Cong already has an idea in his heart, just to see if Prince Gong has any ideas.
"Hehe, it's easy for me to say that it's easy to do this thing, just give them a replacement, so that the new officials are naturally unfamiliar when they arrive in new places, and we are very easy to fish in troubled waters." Prince Gong's method Li I thought of it a long time ago. It's just that this method is easy to say, but if it is really done, it will not be so easy. In the first one or two county towns, many people may not be able to see the intention. Later, so many activities will naturally occur. Someone can see and understand. At that time, the resistance has increased, so it is not a good solution. Li Cong nodded and said nothing. After all, his plan is really unreasonable, that is, he is not on this planet. Only the person above can make such a move, but for the sake of his own plan, it should be possible to make trouble first.
Prince Gong had never interfered with Li Cong’s affairs in the army before. Li Cong just needed to tell him what he did. Basically, he didn’t take care of the rest. He just needs to reap the benefits of the fishermen, but this time Prince Gong clearly felt a little different. He was also very familiar with many generals in the army. He also had a meal at noon. He looked at people. They are all very accurate. He found that these people have one characteristic, that is, they don’t care much about the imperial court, but they are very serious about Li Cong’s orders, as if Li Cong only has Li Cong in their eyes. Isn't it true? Prince Gong and Li Cong are very good friends, and their cooperation has always been very good, but Prince Gong himself is still a royal prince, because there is this dynasty that has everything he has now, if there is no all this He might be nothing, so he was a little entangled in his heart. He found this sign. If he said it, the empire might have attacked Li Cong, but then he would have no political helper. Go back to the way it was before. If you don’t say it, you’re also a member of the royal family. If it develops like this, the empire will be really dangerous. People who don’t come into contact with Li Cong don’t know. People's horizons are very broad, and what Li Cong asked for is not what it is now.
Prince Gong didn’t know why he swayed to his home. He looked at the sign of the palace at the door and stayed there for several minutes. The house next to him was also dumbfounded. What's going on, my lord, this sign has been hanging here so long. It’s too much time, because it needs to be replaced every year, so every year it looks the same as the new one. How much is the whole palace, and how much is this brand, so no one cares about such things. What's the matter with this prince? Is the sign dirty or something? The family members naturally didn't have the guts to ask questions, but fortunately Prince Gong walked in by himself after watching for five minutes. Although there are not many people on Suzaku Street, it does not mean that there are no one. A prince in broad daylight just stares at the sign on his palace in a daze. This is not big or small news. Such things are also a joke. Is not it? Thinking of this conversation, the butler's face thought of something called a newspaper that came out of the Imperial Capital recently. At the beginning, no one cared about such things. It was all about the laws and regulations of some countries, and then the things on it began to be varied. What happened in the country? What happened to the imperial army? Although a lot of news was public, they didn't know it before. Many high-ranking officials have vanity. If it is a newspaper I would be very happy to mention it above, this newspaper has been spread in the imperial capital within a month.
When Prince Gong returned to the mansion and sat down, he habitually picked up the newspaper on the table. Because it was only just beginning, there were only four pages. It’s like an advertising tabloid on the earth, but there are already a lot of people here who like this thing, and many people feel that it’s a little bit unfounded if they don’t read this thing for a day. A lot of the content on it goes to the Imperial Capital. It is also very useful information for the nobles to open a new restaurant. Many nobles are born to spend money, but they don't know what interesting things are in this imperial capital. So they need something like this, just one gold coin, which is basically indescribable to these nobles, just like Prince Gong's Mansion, where there are hundreds of masters, big and small, with more than one hundred gold coins a day. It can make many people happy for a while. This is the least expensive entertainment for them. They are very willing to spend the money. Prince Gong looked at the newspaper in his hand and thought of Li Cong again. These things today, no matter. I have been on the same boat with Li Cong a long time ago. If I stand up at this time and say that he is going to rebel, I am afraid that the emperor will first suspect himself. Besides, the emperor has also planted a lot of people in it. , Why are you doing so many things? After so many years, isn't this empire still intact? It's all right.
"Father, you are back, haha, the people from the Prince Regent’s Mansion just came here. The newspaper said that there are five-point stocks of two younger sisters. I didn’t take it as the first thing. The month’s bonus has been distributed. How much do you guess?
Because the little princess has a very good relationship with the two little princesses in the Gongqing Palace, so the little princess will take charge of the five points of her 30% shares. For these two little sisters, it’s 5% of 35%. At that time, they didn’t realize how many shares could be obtained. They accounted for 1% of the total shares. It’s seventy-five, this kind of shares can be said to be no different, but who knows that the sales of this newspaper on the first day exceeded 400,000 copies. I heard that it has reached 800,000 copies in the past few days. To print more, the number is not enough. Now people with a little status in this imperial capital have to talk about something in the newspaper. If this person says it out and you don’t understand anything, it’s naturally a bit out of date. The second time people are willing to take care of you, but if there is more time, no one is willing to take care of you. Moreover, this kid Li Cong has many ghost ideas. Under some news, three blank pages are specifically left to let These people write down their opinions, then cut them out and send them to the newspaper office. If your opinion is good, you will publish your words next time you wait for the newspaper. Good guys, some people think they buy more. There are more news to go back, and I will definitely be on it next time. There are some literati who don’t want to leave a name. There are many people who buy more than a dozen or more copies. Anyway, it’s just a gold coin. It doesn't cost much, the first month's dividends are also very large.
"Anyway, it's just a gold coin. No matter how hot it is, your two sisters will get married within this year. This dowry is also a lot of expense. The two of them are married by your Majesty. Alas, Speaking of it, our palace is pretty good. We can give them a lot of dowry. Look at those poor begging palaces. The princess marrying is prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are all flashy things, and those messy things add up to not much money.
Prince Gong didn’t like this thing very much. He thought it was just a kid’s mess, if it’s really a good deal. Could Li never tell himself. The tea is also sold by myself. I think that my two daughters will marry in the southern provinces. I don’t know when I want to meet in the future. The princess princess who came out of this clan is second-class. The county princes and township princes are basically left in the imperial capital. Most of them are sent to the border areas of the empire to the ministers. In this way, the children born to their descendants are also the royal nephews. They can be assured of guarding the Quartet. This is basically the same as the Qing dynasty system on the earth, and the Qing dynasty's people basically want to go to Mongolia. It is even more extensive here, as long as it is the border area of ​​the empire, you can basically see these princess princesses.
"Father, you really don’t need to consider the dowry of these two younger sisters. Father, you don’t ask about these things very much. This newspaper is definitely not simple. It’s sold now... well, 32 days, on average every day. Six hundred thousand copies, this is six hundred thousand gold coins. The news from the little princess said that the cost is about half, which is 300 thousand gold coins per day. The two sisters have more than five thousand gold coins every day. This month it is 10 Tens of thousands of gold coins. Although this number is not large, it will expand when possible. I heard that there will be at least one million points every day next month. At that time, they would be more than 300,000 gold coins in two months. It’s still a little money, father, there are still five months before the two of them get married. The dowry of one million gold coins in the palace is already a very good specification." Shizi said with a smile, this guy is really good at calculating the accounts. , But this income also surprised Prince Gong. Originally thought it was the little princess who made the noise by herself, but she didn't expect to have such a huge income. Their family accounted for a few percent of the shares. Isn't Li Cong nearly every month? The income of 20 million gold coins, this kid is really amazing, and he made such an income without showing up, and this gold coin trading is really good. It looks like it doesn't cost much, but it's a lot in a month. Take your own palace for example, a few hundred per day, and it can be nearly 10,000 gold coins in a month. It is amazing.
"Hehe, tell your two sisters to go to the little princess when they are fine. It is not good for others to give us such good benefits. The family will prepare a great gift for them to send over." The prince thought for a while and said. Although Li Cong is good with him, he can't take advantage of others in vain.
"Okay, I'll do this right away, father, if these two of them are married, this income..." How to say that the two sisters are not their own sisters, and it should be calculated for this income. The princess has said that newspapers will soon be sold throughout the empire. At that time, there will be more than a dozen printing points in the entire empire. News of the entire empire will be in the newspapers. At that time, the newspapers will also publish various This kind of version, this will definitely not be able to live with this little money in the future, maybe there are several million gold coins a month, this must be cautious.
"Okay, it's not easy for the two of them. Just ask them to bring the money. We can't help them anymore. We just want to tell them that the money will be their own private property after they are married and cannot be included. Those who go to their husband’s property will be passed on to their own children in the future.
The prince thought for a while and said, the elder son also nodded. Although his old man is a bit older, he is calculating the dowry of his sister. There are still some things that are not so good-looking. If this matter is spread out, it is not so good-looking. Many people will laugh at themselves.
At this moment, the little princess and Lu Xinlan are counting the money at home. The two of them did not expect that a small newspaper would be so powerful. In fact, the cost is not even 5% of the cost. All the things have someone to help them. Li Cong used something on the earth to help them do it. Except for the paper on this planet, all the other printing presses and typesetting machines were shipped from the earth. The two of them didn’t know. They are very happy to earn 800,000 gold coins every day. Li Cong has also made a long-term plan for them. The emperor can sell about 1.2 million gold coins every day. The rest of the empire is also There are a lot of wealthy people, and the daily sales of the entire empire will have to be dozens of times more than this. If done well, the sale of this newspaper is much more powerful than that of tea. Of course, this is also Li Cong has the ability to buy and sell newspapers throughout the empire. Other people have no way to imitate it. The first is the transmission of this news. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can't make it through this point. Li Cong also thought of this. Naturally, his own wireless network cannot be exposed. Li Cong knows that the fastest message on the planet is the flying eagle. This thing grows in the northernmost part, and their speed is so impressive. Surprisingly, even some planes on the earth can’t keep up with them. They can reach a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour. Only a few flying eagles can be trained to deliver messages to people, but people just believe that this is a Legend has it that after all, no one has seen Li Cong. Naturally, Li Cong didn’t have the ability to train them to pass the message to himself. Li Cong didn’t really want them to pass the message. He just caught a few of them and asked them to shout around the newspaper. , Many people mean that flying eagles are used to deliver messages, and this is over. Many people who want to imitate can also do it. Of course you can do it. Can you catch flying eagles? There is also this planet. The printing technology on the Internet is already the highest in a few thousand points per day. If you want hundreds of thousands of copies, just dream.
However, Li Cong bought a large number of printing tools on this planet in order to hide his eyes and ears. These people are also printing, but they can only make thousands of copies every day. These are all for others to see. Is it my own business, and who would carefully investigate such a thing, check the things on the Prince Regent’s Mansion, do I have one more head than others? If it is really gone, there will be no place to cry. That is Can you provoke it? surely not. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
