Chapter 215 Preparations for National Day 2
After hearing Zhou Tong's words, Liu Shihai seemed to want to say something, but his mouth opened again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything. In the end, he had to lower his head in disappointment and stood silently praying for his incompetent nephew.
"We have finished talking about the gossip. Let's talk about the important matters. I told you about the National Day as early as last year. After this year's preparations, our preliminary preparations have been almost done. Therefore, I decided on the first day of May next year, Emperor Taizu officially announced the world and the day of ascending the throne as emperor was set as National Day. Therefore, I specially found the Qing family to discuss some specific details of this matter. First, our national emblem needs to be formalized on the four gates of the palace.
The second is the national flag raising ceremony. The Ministry of War selected 100 tall and slender soldiers from the imperial guards to form a national flag guard, then selected a flag bearer and two flag guards, and finally selected 200 soldiers to form a military band. Their uniforms must not be worn in the combat uniforms we usually wear in the army. The uniforms of the national flag guard, the military band and the three flag bearers must be beautiful and straight, and it looks like a dress at first glance. These are all face. You guys must have done this for me."
"I will obey the order."
"There is the issue of the venue during the National Day. Xu Liang, the street in front of Zhuque Gate, has been renamed Zhuque Avenue since today, and an Empire Square is built directly in front of Zhuque Gate. The flagpole of the national flag is set at the junction of Zhuque Street and Empire Square. In the center of the Empire Square, an Empire Hero Monument is built. It is directly behind the monument. Another Empire Hero Temple is built, which is specially used to commemorate the imperial heroes who died in the war. Remember the national emblem, national flag, Empire Hero Monument, and Empire Hero Temple must be on a straight line."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have all recorded it, but Your Majesty, some of the places you mentioned are all residential buildings. I don't know what Your Majesty means..." Xu Liang wrote down everything Zhao Xu said on his jade tablet board, and bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "
After hearing Xu Liang's question, Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "Liu Qing's family of the Ministry of Revenue."
"I'm here." Because it was a business, Liu Shihai had to put his sadness aside first. When he heard Zhao Xu call him, Liu Shihai hurried forward to answer.
"I will leave this matter of communicating with the people in the city to you. Whether they want money or houses, as long as they don't ask for a huge price, they can give it to them."
"I obey the order." Liu Shihai bowed and took the order and said
"Ministry of Rites, our Song Empire held such a grand ceremony. If no other countries came to observe it, it would be a saying that we were too sorry for our preparations over the past few days. We would inform the neighboring countries of the country, and let those neighboring countries, Goryeo, Fusang, Jiaozhi, Dali, Angkor Kingdom, Bagan, Tubo, Uros, especially the Gaochang Uighurs and Dongkela Khanate, must invite them. I suddenly thought of a good deal to do with them." Speaking of this, a green light that could not be curbed suddenly appeared in Zhao Xu's eyes. Yes, it was the greedy light. Zhao Xu's solemn
The transaction with the Gaochang Uighur Khanate and the Dongkela Khanate is the arms trade. This trade is a very profitable deal in any era. Especially in the two countries that are currently on the verge of destruction, as long as there is a glimmer of vitality that can save their country and danger, they will spare no effort to obtain this only glimmer of vitality. Since Zhao Xu came to this timeline, due to the vigorous development of artillery, many heavy weapons with wooden structures in the Song Dynasty were eliminated from the military, such as Huihui cannons, bed crossbows, serial bed crossbows, and many
Heavy weapons such as bunk crossbows and folding catapults have all withdrawn from the stage of history because of the widespread use of artillery in the army. However, even if these weapons that were not used by the Song Dynasty were placed in countries without artillery technology, they were still extremely advanced and powerful weapons and equipment. Therefore, Zhao Xu immediately started to buy all the weapons and equipment that his own country could no longer use, including Gaochang Uighurs and Dongkela countries to help them resist foreign enemies and protect the country and the people. Well, I know you don’t believe it, but I don’t believe it either. Since that is the case, I will tell the truth. Zhao Xu’s purpose of selling weapons to these two countries is indeed
It is to increase the strength of these two countries, but his ultimate goal is to continuously increase the consumption of vitality between these three countries, and to clear away the difficult stumbling blocks when he rushes his troops westward in the future. However, he has not said too much about the ministers in front of him now, and the ministers in front of Zhao Xu saw that his emperor was unwilling to explain in detail, so they were tactful and did not ask. However, this is not because Zhao Xu did not trust these trusted ministers, but because, even if he told them the reasons, these ministers may not necessarily understand how much weapons can be sold.
After hearing Zhao Xu's instructions, Zheng Junyan bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have all recorded it."
"Then the last thing left now is the military parade! The main purpose of our military parade this time is to deter and deter the surrounding countries. I think you may ask, our entire empire is so powerful now, why should we be afraid of the provocations of those countries? If they dare to provoke trouble, we will destroy them. Doing so will do so, and we will be willing to revenge, but how should we deal with those newly occupied lands? Our country has gone through the war to destroy the Western Xia and Jin and Liao in recent years. How vast are the newly occupied lands? We need to reply there.
Vitality, migrate people and recuperate, and the newly occupied land requires a large number of elite troops to garrison, which greatly increases the consumption of our country's military expenditure. Although our family has a great cause, it cannot be wasted unlimitedly. Liu Aiqing has put in a lot of effort to increase the taxes of the empire and the treasury income. Now he has managed the tax mechanisms of the Empire and the taxation mechanisms across the country in such an orderly manner. Speaking of which, I should reward you with Liu Qing's family." Zhao Xu said this completely slap him with a sweet date. Although everyone has seen it, this is indeed the way to employ people.
