late han empire

From the beginning of the attack on Sun Quan to the present, winter has come in a blink of an eye.

Under normal circumstances, in such weather, princes from all walks of life would not fight outside casually.After all, in an era when there was no cotton and no down jackets, the only result of fighting in the winter was that at least half of the soldiers would be reduced due to non-combat.

And so what if he lived to meet the enemy?Others wait for work at ease, and sticking to the main points can force the enemy to retreat, unless they intend to stay there all winter.

Now, there have been some changes to some extent. In early winter, the weather is not very cold.Not to mention this time, even in the deep winter, these practitioners still have a certain ability to resist the cold weather.Not to mention that the main battlefield of their battle is the south, and there is no possibility of it being too cold.

The most is to thicken the armor and leather armor to ensure that it will not be too bloated for fighting in winter, and at the same time it will not make the soldiers feel too cold. This is enough.Fighting in winter is not something that makes the princes scruples in the south of China.

But for Liu Ming, who was far north of the Yellow River, he had to change into a warm down jacket.These are clothes stuffed with duck feathers. He and his family each have a set, which is the main product of the Liu Chamber of Commerce this year.

Indeed, they are all cultivators, but it does not mean that they are not afraid of cold and heat.Everyone likes to lie in a comfortable bed in winter and lie in a cool and comfortable air-conditioned room in summer.

Therefore, since there are clothes like down jackets that make you feel warm and comfortable, why should you wear a single shirt on the street in order to show that you are strong and healthy?

Down jackets have already appeared, and they are selling like crazy in the north, especially in the farther Mengzhou and the land borders north of Mengzhou.As long as there are conditions, I will buy one and wear it.Of course, the new coal stove with briquettes as the main fuel is also the first choice of many families.

The life of the people under Liu Ming's rule can be said to be getting better and better. There are various cash crops and crops that are not to be taken care of in the farmland, and there are also jobs in the city that are always short of people.Under such a virtuous circle, people have more money in their pockets, and the reform of tax rates has increased the money in their pockets.

It's just that people in China have a common problem, that is, they like to save their money.Fortunately, the bank was open, and there was interest for depositing money in it. In addition, Liu Ming was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so everyone was willing to trust the bank.

The money was deposited in the bank, and under the operation of Zhang Xue, part of the money was used for lending, part was used for cashing out, and the remaining part was used for investment.There are no stocks these days, but now the bank also has a caravan of its own, several processing factories and several farms and pastures.

And all of this, one after another, turned into a series of taxes and entered the national treasury.Of course, this is the treasury belonging to Liu Ming's government, not the treasury of Dahan.

"Are you still used to the work of the Imperial Academy?" It was rare that there was nothing to do in the back, so Liu Ming called the top three in the imperial examination and came over to ask questions. Of course, the people he was talking to were actually Zhao Xue and Zhuge Liang.

"This is the first time we have come into contact with this kind of work, but we have to admit that this new administrative model is more complete and tighter than before." Zhuge Liang fanned his feather fan very aggressively.

I heard that his wife made it for him, and bringing it with him is not only for cooling off, but also for thinking about others when looking at things.In fact, Liu Ming just wanted to say that without the feather fan, Zhuge Liang lost a bit of flavor when pointing the country.Uh, it's not that Zhuge Liang likes to fan his farts to other people... Of course it's not that the feather fan has a bad smell of poultry...

"I just want to ask, when can we become regular?" Zhao Xue asked cleverly.

After all, she is a woman, so even if she asks this question directly, it will only give people a playful feeling.If Zhuge Liang asks a question, he can't help but give people the impression of being eager for quick success.

"Don't worry, each department is starting up, and many places need manpower. You will be transferred to various departments at any time, and this time will not be too long. Of course, if you are willing to downgrade, you can give you the status of a county guard!" Liu Ming said with a smile.

Speaking of the sheriff, Zhuge Liang and Min were more or less moved.It's just that who doesn't want to be a close minister of the emperor. After a few years of release, God knows if the emperor still has them in his heart when the communication situation is not good. Much worse.

Therefore, even if they might be a little moved by the identity of the sheriff, they would not choose to let it out.

"Okay, since there is no fighting in the rear, I am free today, so why don't you tell me how you feel about my side. Specifically, what is not good enough, what is not good, and how to correct it. If it is right Well, I have a lot of rewards here! Don't take it too seriously, just treat it as a game." Liu Ming suddenly said to them on a whim.

Perhaps, it was because the Prime Minister of Shu Kingdom in that time and space was right in front of him at this moment?

All three of them were thinking, but Zhuge Liang didn't mean to think about it.Liu Ming knew that he was not being modest, but he was probably already confident at the moment.

"Has Kong Ming already made up his mind?" Liu Ming naturally wouldn't let him continue to pretend.

"My lord's administrative model is already perfect, and there is no need to improve it. But the control of the territory is still a little bit worse. At least I think that since the lord already has printing and improved papermaking, he has a complete political system. The system and talent selection system, and the appeal and influence of the lord himself in the north are so strong, so why not take advantage of the opportunity when everyone is united to resist the invaders, and carry out certain rectifications on the families under his leadership?

Some time ago, our army in Liangzhou took the initiative to shrink the line of defense. I am afraid that the lord is also planning to reveal the true colors of those aristocratic families?In fact, with the means and status of the lord, there is no need for such troubles at all to govern the aristocratic family.Anyway, they will offend them in the end, so why bother about an excuse or not?Could it be that with an excuse, the other party can't see it?

Now rectification, the biggest advantage is that the resistance will be reduced to the minimum.Because if they agree to rectify, then they will get a lot of compensation, and their family can continue; if they don't agree, it will be easier, just declare that they are the spies of the three southern princes, and then you will be considered as my lord. Let their families be ruined, and the whole family die, and the people under the rule will not have any opinions.As for the loss, does the lord need to rely on the help of the aristocratic family to manage the water and soil well? "Zhuge Liang talked eloquently.

There was only one meaning, but it did tickle an itch in Liu Ming's heart.

"My lord, what Kong Ming said is reasonable. The last scientific examination has already let the scholars of the world know how to take the examination, and we have specially distributed such reference books and guidance books. At the same time, we are also vigorously popularizing primary and secondary schools. It is undeniable that a large part of the books sold were bought by those profiteers in the south and resold, but many of them still flowed into the hands of the common people.

The "Thousand Character Classic", "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" edited by the lord can be said to be well-deserved enlightenment books. What is rare is that these books are all in pinyin, and "Pinyin" is a wonderful book through the ages.Not to mention the two masterpieces "Huaxia Dictionary" and "Huaxia Dictionary" that the Lord is currently editing.

As long as we are determined, we will get more talents in the next scientific expedition.No matter how big our territory is, we will have all the talents we need, because our old batch of talents already have the conditions for promotion.

Under such circumstances, the influence of the family on our territory has been reduced to the extreme.Under such circumstances, if they are more obedient, then everyone is good, if they are not obedient, then let them migrate to the south with their family, if they dare to play tricks, then they may simply be wiped out! "Min suan took a lot of pictures of the horse, but finally said very viciously.

Obviously, during those days when he was a fortune teller, this guy was angry with many aristocratic families.

Zhao Xue, who was standing aside, didn't speak. She knew that Liu Ming had already made a decision in her heart, and she didn't need to continue fanning the flames.

"Zhao Xue, what do you think?" Liu Ming turned his head and asked.

"I also agree with their proposal!" Zhao Xue was taken aback for a moment, then said excitedly.

She doesn't speak to a large extent because she is a woman, so try not to interrupt when men are talking, after all, it was impolite in ancient times.But Liu Ming's inquiry indicated that he valued her very much, otherwise he would not have deliberately asked for her opinion.

"After all, you are also an editor of the Imperial Academy, a serious civil servant. Now that it's a matter of discussion, you naturally have the right to speak. Under such circumstances, don't worry about men and women." Liu Ming is very serious said to her.

Zhao Xue was the example he had set up with great difficulty. If she didn't live up to her expectations, it would be a disgrace to him.

"Yes!" Zhao Xue replied excitedly.

After some conversation, Liu Ming, who was originally distracted by the battle in the south, had other things to do.But for the aristocratic family under his rule, this is obviously not good news.
