Chapter 415 The Beginning
At the foot of the huge Daqing Mountain, Zhu Youxiao has opened up a sports ground, which hosts basketball games, football games, track and field sports, military skills competitions, fighting games, etc.
Taking advantage of this month's repair, Zhu Youxiao carried out a rich spiritual civilization construction, which suddenly made the atmosphere of the entire army more intense.
At this time, there were two teams playing on the simple football field in front of Zhu Youxiao. One was the officer team headed by Major Generals such as Li Yuyu, Li Tao, Li Tu, Zhang Shize, etc., and the other was the military team.
A team of soldiers composed of various non-commissioned officers were competing fiercely.
However, football skills are obviously not directly proportional to military rank. Judging from the current situation, the military officer team is obviously at a disadvantage. Even if Li Yuyu, the captain, stops the game several times and changes personnel, the decline cannot be restored.
.
Seeing that as time goes by, the officer corps is about to lose. The refreshing feeling of defeating the usually majestic and aloof generals is simply indescribable. The soldiers participating and watching are in high spirits and cheering.
Wave after wave.
Looking at the lively scene, Zhu Youxiao smiled. Obviously, such fierce face-to-face competition can alleviate the conflicts accumulated in daily life, ease the sense of depression caused by the different statuses of officers and soldiers, and make the relationship between officers and soldiers more harmonious. Although in some cases,
In terms of training, he followed the military training of later generations.
But obviously, the relationship between officers and soldiers in this era is far more disparate than in later generations, especially when he emphasizes discipline and obeying orders. Now there are two sports, basketball and football, to resolve the hostility and consume their vigorous energy.
The energy will undoubtedly make the atmosphere in the military better.
"With this army of 200,000, it is enough to dominate the world." Zhu Youxiao thought to himself. At present, he has no plans to expand the number of field armies. It is not only to deepen the cultivation of military quality, but also to cultivate a spirit of spirit.
At least, he has no plans to expand the number of troops before the nationwide urban defense system is established.
Jingle bell!
Suddenly, a ringing sound that could not be covered up by the audience's cheers and shouts came, making Zhu Youxiao stunned. Then he seemed to realize something and looked towards the source.
Sure enough, a horse was galloping towards this side. Along the way, the spectators and the military police who were maintaining order gave way one after another, and the large command flag was flying high behind the horseman.
The messenger of the Yima Courtyard of the Ming Empire!
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial forwarded from the cabinet. It's urgent at 800 miles away." Wang Yetai, who had been serving as an orderly by Zhu Youxiao's side, handed the thing over.
"Well." Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, took the memorial that had just been opened, and looked through it. The words on the memorial were very simple, just a sentence asking for instructions whether to start. But this simple sentence was what Zhu Youxiao had been waiting for.
Yes, his army is stationed in Daqingshan, just because of this.
"Fountain pen." Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand, and Wang Yetai took out a gold-plated fountain pen and handed it over. After Zhu Youxiao took it, he wrote four big words without hesitation, "Start immediately."
"Arrange the messengers to send this wrinkled letter directly to Cui Mingji in Shandong." He ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Wang Yetai took the memorial, he handed over another copy, "Your Majesty, this was sent with the Eight Hundred Miles Express."
"Oh, take it here and take a look." Zhu You was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that in addition to what he had been waiting for, there was also a buy one, get one free.
When he took it and opened it, he was startled again. It turned out to be the cabinet asking about the next imperial examination and what should be done.
To be honest, he really hasn't thought about this issue. It's not that this issue is not important, but that he has simply forgotten about the imperial examination. He also changed the examination in the second year of Tianqi's year and put it aside after that. Recently
During this period, his mind was filled with land reform and military reform, and the meeting did not even come up.
If the cabinet hadn't reported it now, he didn't know when he would have remembered it.
"You need to think about this carefully." Zhu Youxiao thought, then looked at Wang Yetai who was waiting for instructions, and said, "First send out the memorial in your hand."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Wang Yetai received the reply, he went straight to arrange the manpower without any ink.
"I don't know if someone will jump out again. I really hope we can clean it up all at once." Looking at Wang Yetai's back, Zhu Youxiao sighed.
Then, holding the memorial in hand, he returned to his tent and carefully calculated the matters concerning the imperial examination.
A few days later, Jinan, Shandong.
As a second-level official conferred by the emperor personally, and the governor of land reform, Cui Mingji is extremely famous. Although in terms of rank, the governor of North Korea and the governor of land reform are the same, but things cannot be viewed this way.
Although North Korea is known as Little China, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty scholars, it is still a foreign land. Even if it is included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty and becomes a large part of the Ming Dynasty, this inherent concept will not change for a while, and
As the governor-general of North Korea, Cui Mingji's reputation and reputation among scholars were not good.
And most of them appeared in the form of jokes after dinner. However, now that he has been appointed as the Governor of Land Reform and is responsible for the land reform in Shandong full-time, this impression has changed.
From the fringes, he entered the core of the Ming Dynasty, and his scope of authority also expanded from the narrow North Korea to Shandong, which is three or four times larger. And it is foreseeable that if he does well, the next step is to go to another province to carry out land reform.
, until the entire Ming Dynasty’s land reform work was completed.
Although he was used as a knife by the emperor, this was also an opportunity. After all the work was done, he was deeply involved in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and the students and cronies he brought with him also took advantage of the opportunity and became observers of the Ming Dynasty.
a force of.
He can then gain a foothold in the Ming Empire and move towards a bigger stage.
Cui Mingji was holding hot tea and looking leisurely at the gradually thawing land outside, thinking about these things that are not humane to outsiders.
The place where he lives now is none other than the backyard of the Shandong Governor's Yamen. It was the former Shandong Governor Xiong Wencan's residence, but now it belongs to him.
There is no way, the governor of Shandong is vacant, and now the largest land reform governor in the entire Shandong officialdom wants to take over. No one can stop him. He has neither the qualifications nor the courage.
Nowadays, all government affairs in Shandong are handled by the chief envoys and councilors, but Cui Mingji does not care about these. Although these officials must obey his orders according to the imperial edict, they are limited to matters related to land reform, but they do not allow him to intervene.
.
Of course, after testing the attitude of Shandong's officialdom through the affairs at his official residence, Cui Mingji didn't care about it. He didn't pay attention to the local officialdom in Shandong at all. His pace was not something that a Shandong official could satisfy.
Cui Mingji glanced outwards, and the scene on the street was vivid in his mind. Pedestrians were lazily. Although the weather was perfect at the moment, everyone did not have much energy. It was all caused by the land reform.
This was the first of its kind in the world. No one had tried so hard. All the land was returned to public ownership, and all the fields were distributed to farmers for cultivation. Landowners were eliminated, and there was no need to pay imperial grain and national taxes for farming. It was something that was unthinkable.
These things are so exaggerated that even if they are reported in the newspapers every day and talked about every month, the people still cannot believe it. They always feel that everything is an illusory bubble that will be blown away by the wind.
However, even if there are people who believe in the White Lotus Sect's fake hometown, Zhu Youxiao's plan to distribute land to each household naturally has more people believing in it. Since the newspaper announced that Shandong will carry out land reform, almost all the tenant farmers have come to the county.
In the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven, he invited a god to go home, burned incense and prayed every day, praying for the emperor's blessing so that his family would be allocated fields.
Of course, besides praying, most people still have little thoughts. If the land is about to belong to someone else, then what’s the point of farming on it? Fortunately, those landowners read more newspapers and know how to divide the land.
If there are crops behind the land, the output will still belong to the original owner.
Therefore, they threatened the harvest of the first half of the year and finally stopped the spring plowing. However, most of the tenant farmers were still unable to do their work. This trend spread rapidly, causing the entire Jinan to be like this.
Whether it is a pedestrian or a shopkeeper, they are all weak.
Jingle bell!
Suddenly, a burst of rapid hooves and the ringing of bells rang outside the city gate, immediately attracting the attention of the city defense troops and pedestrians stationed at the city gate.
The soldiers guarding here are very dedicated and experienced. As soon as they heard this voice, they knew who the other party was. They were the messengers who could not be stopped in the Yima Courtyard.
"Everyone get out of the way, everyone, make a way." The guarding platoon leader immediately shouted to the pedestrians to get out of the way.
Whoops!
The huge command flag fluttered in the wind, bringing with it a gust of cold wind that rushed past the city gate. It hurt people, but no one dared to say anything. Any conflict with the command soldiers would be considered a crime, no matter what.
The police came forward again, but Jin Yiwei took over directly, and the situation was serious.
The arrival of the messenger seemed to have brought about a different change. All those who recognized the knight's identity followed him involuntarily, and their footsteps followed suit, watching the knight enter the governor's office.
"Is it going to start?" Some people with sensitive intuitions thought to themselves, suddenly feeling that something was wrong with the entire sky.
"Is it finally here?" Although the sentence was a question, the tone was quite certain.
Cui Mingji, who was sitting in a loft along the street and watching the timely favors, naturally saw the knight galloping towards him. Subconsciously, he concluded that this was the messenger who had sent the emperor's reply.
Sure enough, the memorial was still his own, but there were powerful words in it, "Start immediately."
The pen moves between dragons and snakes, which directly reflects the writer's impatience.
"Summoned, all officials, assemble in the hall." Cui Mingji gave the order loudly after the memorial was announced. Looking at Pan Zixiong, Duan was in high spirits and had an indescribable majesty.
