Xu Zi first planned to train a group of mature cavalry officers. Zhang Huchen was also a famous cavalry general who emerged in the end of the world. He led his troops to raid the Donghu, coming and going like the wind and being extremely strong. It can be seen that Fujian can form a very powerful cavalry, just depending on whether people are willing or dare to commit.

In addition, even the military officers of the Shuiying Camp also need to reserve. This time, the generals awarded more ninth-rank military positions, and it is also to gradually reach the position of the Shuiying Camp sentry officer, and even the deputy head of the capital, the head of the capital after the New Year.

Maybe two or three years later, Gao Shilai and others will be able to take up positions as battalion commander or deputy commander. At that time, Xu Zixian's control over the army will be stronger.

"I can go back to the city for the New Year with peace of mind..." Xu Zi stretched out and drank the tea before the case.

Everyone looked comfortable. After more than half a year, they could have had a pretty good New Year.

Li Yidao: "Will the prince go directly to Beijing or come back to another courtyard after the New Year?"

"No delay." Xu Zixian said: "On the ninth day of the second month, it will be the hall lock test. I will go to Zongzhengsi to handle the matter of inheriting the title. I plan to take a boat after the New Year."

Qin Dongyang said: "Hold a ship or take our own ship?"

Everyone present when they mention "Own Boat" has a sense of pride and pride.

Although there are still many small ships with two or four, the foundation of the large ships with eight or two big ships with eight or two big ships, as well as the lucky ships, water boats and other large ships, the foundation of the future Troupe Water Camp has been quite rich.

"Live on our own boat." Xu Zixian said: "It is not as good as going to the capital. I plan to keep Li Changshi and Qin Sima guarding the house, and the rest of the people, Kong Xuanping, and Fu Muzhi, also. Chen Daojian, Chen Zuocai and others followed me north. Among the military officers, Liu Yi, Zhang Huchen, Lin Cunxin, Gao Shilai, Jin Jian, led the fifty-otone generals and one hundred cavalry, and followed me north together..."

Li Yi reminded: "The prince, according to the order of the marquis' mansions, the titles of the marquis will be promoted to the capital, and the generals of the mansion will be allowed to take the teeth of the mansion."

"I am a regiment training envoy, and it is reasonable to take the guards of the military soldiers." Xu Zi first pressed and held Li Yi who was still arguing, and said, "If the right prime minister protects him, it is just a trivial matter. If the right prime minister loses power, Liu Zhiyuan, Zuo Xiang and others will make things difficult for me. There may not be any movement on the face of the official, but it is likely that someone will be sent to assassinate, so I have to be more careful."

Li Yi didn't know, but Xu Zixian knew very well that Zuo Xianghe Mansion was killed a year later. The situation is so complicated now that it is hard to say that it will cause any changes that should not have occurred in time and space.

If you bring more people, you will be impeached at most. With Xu Zixian's current strength, you will be reprimanded by strict orders and fined your salary at most. If you don't bring more guards, you will be besieged and assassinated for no reason. That would be really wrong.

Li Yisheng came over and said, "This is true. The prince's safety is the most important thing."

Qin Dongyang said at this time: "Why should I follow me too?"

Liu Yi squinted his eyes and said, "You are so relieved to keep me in charge of the Wu Zu camp?"

Everyone laughed. Li Yi smiled for a while and reminded him: "To use three lucky boats, we will release the documents to recruit qualified sailors before the New Year. Each boat will use about 20 sailors, a hundred people, and the military rations and materials needed along the way. We must also prepare in advance. Let me leave these things. It just so happens that I am a foreigner and I am very leisurely before and after the New Year."

Xu Zixian said: "That would be fine, so I will work hard for Mr. Li first."

"The ship must be fast, and you must sail on the shore." Li Yi continued: "The five pirates on the sea, King of the East China Sea, Wang Zhi, has been moving around the Liaohai area. Although he is loyal and righteous, he will also rob a ship when he encounters a ship. After all, he has not yet been recruited. Most of the ships in the North Shanghai are plundered by Wang Zhi's subordinates and disappeared. The prince should be more careful. Pirates in the transport ship generally do not attack, but just in case."

Xu Zixian nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is that we are driving close to the shore and walking with the canal boats heading north after the New Year."

The Great Wei grain transportation was different from the previous dynasty. The former dynasty either established the capital of the Central Plains or Guanzhong, and transported materials to the capital through canals and several rivers. This dynasty first established the capital of Jiangling, and the grain transportation of southern provinces either followed the southern rivers, or entered the sea first, and then transported to Jiangling by sea.

Later, the emperor guarded the country's gates and moved the capital to Yanjing. With the financial resources of the north, he was unable to provide the burden of the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital. The royal family also had a huge expense. In addition, the civil and military officials and the royal family stayed in Beijing, the canal had not been dredged for dozens of years, and it often stopped or changed directions within dozens of miles. More than one million civilians needed to mobilize to raise major work before they could be re-opened.

The Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty did not hold on to the incomplete and shortage. Since the river and grain were not open, there was no need to use the canal to transport grain, so the river and grain were directly changed to sea grain.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the 23 routes in the world are arranged according to the rules, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Three Divisions will arrange them in a coordinated manner to transport money, grain and various specialties to the capital one after another.

In Fujian, the national taxes and miscellaneous taxes transported to the capital each year are more than 10 million jin of money and more than 2 million shi of food.

The more money than grain, the main reason is that Fujian has developed industry and commerce, and there are many mountains and few fields. For Fujian, it is natural that there are less grain than copper coins.

But not only that, there are also Fujian specialties such as raw silk and tea, which are transported to the capital every year for about hundreds of thousands of guan.

If the 23rd Road of the Great Wei Dynasty had all the same financial resources as Fujian, it would probably be that the treasury revenue of the state would have to be restored to more than 200 million yuan. However, the wealth in the world would have so many figures to report the capital's regular taxes and taxes annually. Only Jiangnan East Road, including Jiangling, Zhejiang East Road and Guangdong South Road, and the rest of the roads, the smallest Yunnan Road, the annual report, is only one million yuan, which is less than one-tenth of Fujian.

There is not even a million steep in Guizhou Road, only 800,000 steep in Guizhou.

The grain from the two places cannot be transported out, but the treasury also needs to supplement the grain. In addition to supplies, the number of troops stationed in the two routes suppressed the southwestern Yihe and the seedlings, and the treasury also needs to bear the military pay and military expenses.

The expenses of garrison troops in the southwest are still small, including Qinfeng Road, Hedong Road, Yongxing Jun Road, Hebei East Road, and Hebei West Road. The expenses of garrison troops and military supplies and military rations in these places are astronomical figures.

The source of wealth and income from the Great Wei Dynasty was mainly Jiangnan and southeast. The copper coins handed over to the capital's treasury were more than 60 million treasurys, accounting for 60% of the treasury income from Jiangling, Jiangnan East Road, Zhejiang East Road, Fujian Road, and Guangnan East Road.

60% of the national fiscal and tax expenditures, at most, are used for military expenditures.

Among the military expenditures, 60% to 80% are used on many battlefields such as Hebei, Hedong, Yongxing Army and Qinfenglu, and many other battles against the Northern Barbarians, Donghu and Xiqiang. I don’t know how much money and grain have been spent.

At the beginning of each year, Fujian Road will start sea canals, transporting copper coins with various regular tax revenues received until the end of the year, including a small amount of gold and silver, from the national two taxes to the general system, various miscellaneous tax revenues, wine and tea monopoly, salt and vinegar monopoly, raw silk export trade tax, taxes for sea ships entering Quanzhou and Zhangzhou ports, and more than one million in a year are sent from the southeast to Yanjing.

The southeast provides financial resources, and the northern people along the Great Wall pay blood and sweat to resist the invasion of barbarians. This is actually a relatively fair and cost-effective transaction. It is just that the court is in a dilemma, and most of the money is thrown into the water. The people in the southeast of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more miserable, and resentment is inevitable.

In addition to copper coins, gold and silver, the main thing is to send grain to Beijing. The capital has a population of about 1.5 million people, and the annual consumption of more than 10 million stones of grain. The grain supply of the border imperial guards was also coordinated and distributed by the capital. The normal storage of grain in the Tongzhou Dakang exceeded 20 million stones, otherwise there would be a risk of shortage of food.

Fujian reports 2.6 million stones per year, which is equivalent to the 2.8 million stones per year on Hedong Road. However, there are many grain fields on Hedong Road, and the grain income here in Fujian is quite small. In order to report the amount of money, transportation has to buy grain from Jinghu and Zhejiang on the adjacent road.

After the New Year, a large number of sea ships headed north and sent grain, gold, silver and copper coins, as well as high-quality raw silk and tea to the capital.

King of Donghai may have always wanted to recruit peace and rarely rob the canal ships on the sea. Xu Zi first planned to go with the canal ships, which was a very good plan.

"Okay, that's it. The cavalrymen who went north are all military soldiers, let them have a holiday first. After the New Year, they gathered in the Fucheng to prepare for going to sea. Three lucky ships head north, and now they will ask someone to repair them quickly to avoid any trouble at sea. That would be a big fun." Xu Zixian still felt that going north was not a big problem, and he was afraid that Li Yi and others would be worried. Finally, he smiled and said, "It's like this today. I'll wait for you to meet again in the Fucheng in a few days. I can also say something if I have something to do."

The New Year is the most important festival of the year. Nowadays, the Great Wei Dynasty is the first to re-enroll, followed by the Lantern Festival, that is, the Shangyuan Festival, and the Zhongyuan Festival, which is the ghost festival in later generations. Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival, such festivals are either not valued or not at all.

During the New Year, the subordinates of course had to go to the Marquis' Mansion in Fuzhou to pay New Year's greetings. Although they had to work hard, the courtesy was not abandoned. Even ordinary people would run on the road in a constant stream in the next few days, let alone officials.

Everyone really laughed this time and bowed: "Congratulations to the crown prince in advance for all the best in the New Year."

"Thank you." Xu Zixian also said with a smile: "I will be waiting in the mansion at that time. If I am not here, I will have to take a piece of paper to receive blessings."

People at that time liked to use red posts to greet New Year's greetings. When the capital went to Jiangling and Fuzhou, they started gambling for three days during the New Year, and they couldn't help but pass. On the Lantern Festival, the fireworks were fired and set off at will.

It’s just that we have to work hard to patrol at any time to prevent fires. Once the fire continues, it will be a big deal.

When each other comes to pay New Year's greetings, they often encounter the owner's absence, so they write the name of the thorn on red paper, add New Year's greetings, and place it in the red lucky bag on the owner's door, which is called "receiving blessings".

Xu Zixian was very interested in this kind of folk custom, and felt that it was similar to the group text messages in later generations. In short, he was very happy and everyone was greeting the door. In addition to the crowds who were running around to greet New Year, the joy and the atmosphere of the New Year became popular.

Compared with later generations, the New Year atmosphere in this era is definitely more abundant. Of course, for politicians, there are different opinions on who to visit and how to visit. Often, during New Year greetings, political parties and conflicts of interest can be distinguished.

Xu Zixian breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also moved.

In any case, thirteen years have passed, and next year will be thirteen years of thirty-four years.

According to my own memories, every year is not better than every year. The country controlled by the emperor of the Great Wei seems to be a fierce horse that has broken its reins. He pulls the broken car of the Great Wei and continues to rush towards the cliff of the destruction of the country.
