She Song

Chapter 218 Maode Diji caused public outrage

The Jin envoy went north in anger, and the top leaders of Yanjing knew that next time, the Jurchens would definitely go south with their golden horses.

After Zhang Jue surrendered, the Yanyun Management Committee took over Luanzhou and Yingzhou, and the entire Yandi area fell into the hands of Han Xiaoyao in name.

Therefore, in the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first political and commercial meeting of the Yanyun Management Committee was held as scheduled.

There are three main topics: government affairs and diplomacy, industry and commerce and people's livelihood, and military reform and military production.

In government affairs, both the selection of talented people and the fight against corruption are equally important. In diplomacy, the main task is to be neither arrogant nor humble to the Jin Dynasty's Jurchen, and secondarily to maintain deterrence and beating against the Tokyo court.

We will vigorously encourage industry and commerce, support farming and animal husbandry, reduce the tax rate on ordinary commodities, and increase the tax rate on luxury goods. While distributing land for farming cattle, we will exempt and exempt farmers from many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and dispatch inspection teams to ensure that they are implemented in place.

Finally, when discussing military reform, Han Xiaoyao has absolute authority. Therefore, the Yanyun Corps is required to be divided into Category A, Category B and reserve forces according to training and assessment indicators. At the same time, he strongly supports the development ideas of the militia armed forces, laying the foundation for the next battle with the Jin Army. Prepare for military conflict.

Among them, three Type A divisions, three Type B divisions, two cavalry brigades, one special operations brigade, and one independent artillery brigade must be formed before the end of the year, totaling 10 people, and another 10 reserves must be recruited.

We will then develop local militia armed groups such as the Bow and Arrow Society, the Red Spear Society, and the strong men of Wubao Village, with a total of no less than 20 people.For the militia, it not only provided various preferential policies and temporarily suspended the ban on salt and iron, but also opened a crash course for middle and low-level generals, and actively attracted outstanding talents to study in Yanjing.

As for the military industry, priority is currently given to ensuring the integration of steel, gunpowder, artillery, repeating crossbows and individual equipment, while vigorously promoting the improvement of software and hardware in Tsinghua Park.

Han Xiaoyao made it clear that there should be at least [-] bachelors by the end of the year. After all, technology is the primary productive force!
At this time, Zhao Fujin rarely expressed his opinion: "Yanjing and the Zhenguo Army have repeatedly screened, and it is indeed difficult to achieve the goal before the end of the year."

This is a real problem. There are very few literate people at present, and the bachelors who can pass the examination are basically only one in a hundred.

Zhao Fujin, who became the executive vice president, has conquered Yanjing and the Zhenguo Army several times in the past half month.

If the other party hadn't given up the title of quasi-princess, Yuan Shishi and other big bosses would have had to fight Maode to have their flesh cut off again and again.

What's more, Tsinghua University is controlled by Maode, and the Damingfu faction naturally feels even more awkward.

So, after nit-picking and making numerous comments, I came to the conclusion that it was "gaudy and unrealistic."

Since Tsinghua Garden was mentioned at this time, Zhang Cheng used the topic to deliberately smile and said: "I heard that the review of Tsinghua Garden is too strict. As long as the standards are lowered a little, talented people who can recite poems and write poems will be everywhere, and Your Highness will not have to visit every once in a while. It’s time to rob someone under my command!”

Although what he said was a joke, it touched the hearts of all the big guys.

Who doesn’t know how difficult it is to cultivate talents?
It took a lot of effort to find a smart and capable person to help with the work, but as soon as Tsinghua University issued an order, the cooked duck flew away, and everyone was in a hurry!
Therefore, Zhang Cheng's words resonated with everyone, and there was a lot of discussion in the venue.

Zhao Fujin was caught off guard. It seemed that his previous attack was indeed too harsh...

Shen Sanniang was a little proud. Well, it seemed that her usual private complaints were finally responding.

Haha~ Let you take advantage of Brother Han's favor, and now you will have a good show!

Li Daoyi was more upright and said immediately: "If nothing happens on weekdays, we will support Tsinghua University no matter what, but now we have to prepare for war, and military industry is the top priority. Can you please show your favor to me here?"

This sentence immediately triggered a greater discussion. People from various ministries raised various difficulties. In short, they did not want Tsinghua Park to be robbed again.Seeing the turbulent public sentiment, Zhao Fujin also felt that it was particularly difficult. He was about to say some words of comfort when he heard his fiancé laughing.

"Your Highness Maode, have you offended the public? Hey, since we have said this, let's talk about it. The truth is not clear!"

Seeing Han Xiaoyao suddenly laugh, the venue immediately fell silent.

Zhao Fujin decided to take this opportunity to ease everyone's emotions, and said: "It is really that there is an urgent shortage of manpower for various subjects, and we have to transfer relevant personnel as a last resort. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to all departments..."

As an important core member of the Daming Palace and a leading figure in the Zhenguo Army, the Fourteenth Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty would naturally not refute the face of the prospective princess. After all, Tsinghua Garden was Han Xiaoyao's idea.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be like these big bosses! There are indeed many things to do in each department, but the tasks of Tsinghua University are also important. From now on, everyone will discuss according to the priorities and we can always handle them properly!"

"Priority?" Han Xiaoyao waited for Yuan Shisi to finish speaking, then asked, "Do you all think the research topic at Tsinghua University is nonsense?"

Now, everyone knew that Han Xiaoyao's attitude was wrong.

This is obviously to protect Emperor Maode!
Although Han Xiaoyao was always reasonable and easy-going, this was a government meeting, not in private... so almost no one dared to refute.

However, Shen Sanniang was not afraid. The more Han Xiaoyao protected Maode, the more uncomfortable she became, so she asked, "Can I tell the truth?"

Han Xiaoyao glanced at Shen Sanniang and asked: "One of the purposes of the Hanji Chamber of Commerce is to 'tell the truth, do practical things, and respond to requests.' Is this invalidated?"

Shen Sanniang nodded and said loudly: "Well, let's not talk about anything else. The Chang'e Project alone costs 20 yuan, not counting manpower and material resources. It is just to send people to heaven. Is it worth it?"

From the initial mystery of the Chang'e Project, to the news that has been gradually spread now, it is just to send people dozens of feet into the air.

Although the news is shocking, some people will inevitably think that it has no practical use. This move is a great success for Han Xiaoyao, or a means to make Emperor Maode happy.

Climb high and look into the distance. It’s only a few dozen feet, so it’s better to go climbing!
Although everyone had this idea in their hearts, no one dared to say it in front of Han Xiaoyao, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

But Shen Sanniang is the prince's sister-in-law, and in the future...so no one should get involved casually.

Shen Erniang frowned. Her sister suddenly jumped out, which made her a little worried. Although her sweetheart was always with Maode recently, he was also very concerned about her. He was not like what outsiders said, the new man laughs at the old man and cries.

Moreover, Han Xiaoyao also told her that the birth of the hot air balloon would change the entire world. Therefore, Shen Erniang believed that the Chang'e Project and even Tsinghua University were very important.

"Sanniang, don't speak to the prince like that!"

But Han Xiaoyao waved his hand and said: "Second Niang, don't worry, Third Niang will discuss the matter and tell the truth. It would be sad if everyone in the Yanyun Management Committee talks about lies and empty words!"

Then he said to Shen Sanniang: "You are the financial manager. I heard that in Yanyun's territory, there is no one better than you in settling accounts. Let me test you, how can you use a penny in the most cost-effective way?"
