Fu Xiaoguan wrote three letters.
One letter was sent to Xishan for Dong Shulan, and the other two were sent to Jinling for Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou.
In this letter to Dong Shulan, he asked Dong Shulan to immediately arrange personnel and money to go to Pingling and Quyi counties.
According to the design of those workshops in Xishan, workers were recruited in these two counties to build cement workshops and brick and tile workshops. These two types of workshops required the most people, and the cement, bricks and tiles produced would be used for the construction of commodity workshops at the beginning of the year.
In his letter to Yu Wenjun, he asked Yu Wenjun to advise Queen Shang to come forward and encourage merchants from all over the world to invest in Yongning Prefecture.
In the letter to Yan Xiaolou, he asked Yan Xiaolou to ask Yan Beixi to request His Majesty to come up with specific preferential policies for the counties and prefectures where commercial pilot projects were carried out.
With these three approaches, progress may be faster.
At the same time, the battle report of the northern border army was also sent to the Privy Council.
After reading the battle report, Yan Shidao immediately sent it to the Council of State and then to His Majesty.
The Imperial Study in the Imperial City of Shangjing.
"Excalibur Special Forces..." Emperor Xuan frowned, "How come I don't know about such a force?"
Yan Beixi bowed and said, "General Peng's battle report mentioned later that... there were militia training in the western mountains of Linjiang."
Emperor Xuan opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, "Oh... I remember now, isn't this what Fu Xiaoguan asked me for at the beginning of this year..."
"Is Fu Xiaoguan's team so powerful?" Emperor Xuan couldn't believe it.
Yan Shidao was bewildered.
A militia of 4,000 people actually drove Gong Shenchang's army of more than 100,000 to Yueming Valley like driving sheep, and it took five days and five nights!
Yan Shidao didn't believe it when he saw it, so he looked at the seal behind the battle report many times to confirm that it was Peng Chengwu's seal.
Yan Beixi is better than them, after all, that is the army that Fu Xiaoguan once trained.
"This is Fu Xiaoguan's ability, Your Majesty. Since Fu Xiaoguan can create the red cannon, it is possible for his team to achieve such a brilliant victory."
Fu Xiaoguan...
Emperor Xuan sighed deeply and read the battle report. "Who is Bai Yulian?"
Master Yan replied, "I was once a cavalry captain in the Eastern Frontier Army. I retired in the first year of the Xuanli reign and went to the West Mountain of Linjiang. I became the head guard of the West Mountain Villa until I met Fu Xiaoguan. I am now twenty-eight years old."
"Where is this team going now? I want to see it!"
"Your Majesty, this team has gone to the Desolate Country."
“……!!!”
Emperor Xuan was shocked. This team must have suffered casualties in the battle of Pingling Mountain, which means that there are definitely no more than 4,000 people now. Why did they go to the deserted country?
This is a treasure! Don't die in the deserted country!
"Your Majesty, do you remember the essay on how to fight a war that I, Fu Xiaoguan, wrote in the Golden Palace last year?" Yan Shidao suddenly said this.
Emperor Xuan suddenly remembered, "You mean... this team was trained according to the method in that strategy?"
"I believe that the strategy is the theoretical basis for this team, and it must contain many details. The Northern Frontier Army deployed over 200,000 men in the Battle of Pingling, suffered 60,000 casualties, and yet the battle ended in a stalemate. This divine sword only has 4,000 men, and Bai Yulian is not a deity, so why does this team have such powerful combat effectiveness?"
"From what I can gather, I'm afraid that Fu Xiaoguan taught Bai Yulian the detailed methods of military training. Now that Fu Xiaoguan is gone, Bai Yulian is the only one in the world who understands this method of military training. Therefore... Your Majesty, may you summon Bai Yulian to see you?"
Emperor Xuan agreed with this and nodded slightly.
"But this guy ran off to the Desolate Country. What should we do?"
"Your Majesty, please send an order to Peng Chengwu. He has seen Bai Yulian and asks him to send scouts to the Desolate Country to find Bai Yulian."
"Good! In this battle, the Divine Sword... the special forces, performed outstanding feats and demonstrated the might of Dayu. I declare to the world that the Divine Sword shall be the nation's guardian sword! I bestow upon Bai Yulian... the Divine Sword General!"
The next morning at court, when Emperor Xuan announced the battle report of the northern border troops, the entire court was shocked!
They couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it.
Because in Peng Chengwu's battle report, the merits of the northern border army were not publicized, but the whole article was describing the military exploits of the Divine Sword.
In other words, Peng Chengwu simply gave up this great achievement and did not dare to take the credit for himself.
So the ministers thought of Fu Xiaoguan again.
The seventeen-year-old Taizhong Daifu, the Jianyi Daifu of the Secretariat.
The poems and articles he wrote at the Wu Dynasty Literary Society have now been engraved on the thousands of stone tablets in the Lanting Collection.
Without exception, all of them are in the first column of character A!
He is the world's top writer, and no one can shake his position in the literary world.
He has the talent to help the world, and now the book "The Wealth of Nations" has spread in the Yu Dynasty.
Many of the views and opinions were unheard of by the civil and military officials in the court, but they made a lot of sense after careful consideration.
As a result, the Jixia Academy opened a business school and a science academy, with the business school enrolling a full 1,200 students this year.
The number of students at Gewu Academy also reached an unprecedented 400.
These are the treasures left by Fu Xiaoguan. At the suggestion of Li Qingfeng, the Jixia Academy erected a tall statue for Fu Xiaoguan at the end of that avenue of books.
To be on par with the saints—what an honor!
Now, when they heard that the militia he had set up in Xishan had defeated the army of Gong Shenchang with a force of over one hundred thousand, they realized that Fu Xiaoguan was actually unmatched in martial arts!
What a pity!
Such a genius with outstanding civil and military skills died in the Wu Dynasty.
If he were alive, he would definitely be the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty, and he would definitely be a wise ruler of the Wu Dynasty!
This may be the case of God being jealous of talented people.
When His Majesty finished reading out the reward for the divine sword, Yan Beixi stood up.
"I believe that now that the bandit problem in Yongning Prefecture has been eliminated, the pilot program in Pingling and Quyi counties should be launched."
"Your Majesty, regarding the pilot program for county and prefecture taxation, I have drafted a proposal for your consideration. If approved, it will be announced to the entire nation."
"Yongning Prefecture is in urgent need of revitalization. The national policy of promoting both commerce and agriculture is of great importance and urgently needs to be verified. I implore Your Majesty to approve it as soon as possible and let merchants all over the world know the details of this national policy. Only when commerce prospers can the country prosper!"
This sentence is from the Wealth of Nations. Most people in the court now accept this view, but there are still a small number of people who believe that the foundation of a country lies in agriculture. As for commerce, it is not qualified to be compared with farming.
Food is the most important thing for people, so Qin Huizhi, the vice-chancellor of the Political Affairs Hall, stepped forward.
"I believe this matter warrants further discussion. The people of Yongning Prefecture are currently facing a shortage of food and clothing. What the court needs to do now is to ensure they have enough food. As for conducting business there... I believe this is a waste of time!"
This statement was recognized by a group of officials who supported agriculture as the foundation of the economy.
Qin Huizhi bowed and said, "The people there are almost starving to death. Prime Minister Yan, may I ask which is more important, life or money?"
