In early spring, everything sprouts and the earth is full of life.

As the climate warms up, the atmosphere around Shouchun City is becoming more and more lively. In the open countryside outside the city, a large number of wood and stone materials have been piled up, and many craftsmen are busy on the long city wall, building the city wall and building houses.

On the open and flat road, you can occasionally see a long line of armor soldiers, either returning to the city or leaving the city. The soldiers were full of spirit, and their military appearance was neat and serious. Along the way, there are many villagers who encounter suburban labor and production, and when they see the formation of the convoy passing by, many villagers stop their work, clap their hands and shout and cheer: "Wang Shi is strong!" ”

This scene seems to be extremely harmonious, especially in this era of frequent wars, except for Huainan Town, I am afraid that there is no such scene of military-civilian harmony elsewhere. The so-called thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates, this is by no means a lie, and it has nothing to do with whether military discipline is strict or not. In the chaos of war, there is no doubt that doing everything possible to win is the first priority, people's livelihood and the like are secondary, the army has a more rigorous organization and execution than the thieves, and the oppression of the people is relatively much more serious.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been no need for any harmonious relationship between the people and the army. Because no matter how effective the army is, whether it wins or loses, the people are naturally in a position of being squeezed. The reason why there is not much resentment between the military and the people in Huainan Town is that most of the daily operations and combat funds of the Huainan Army are supplemented by external sources, and the other is that the separation of military and political affairs is relatively complete, even at the most serious moment of the battle, Shen Zhezi does not allow the army to directly participate in the oppression and atrocities of the people.

This does not matter whether it is benevolent or people's hearts, even Shen Zhezi must admit that in the past year, the labor of the people of Huainan has been really heavy, and there is a considerable degree of oppression and persecution, which is unavoidable. All he could do was to avoid the use of punishments such as corporal punishment and reward incentives as much as possible in the process.

The reason why the armed forces are not allowed to participate in the use of civilian forces is mainly from the aspect of army building. The military is an organized and disciplined violent group, and if it confronts the people, it is naturally at an advantage, especially the thrill of bullying the weak with the strong, which is addictive.

The past year has been the most important year for this army to resist pressure and polish its formation, and some traditions and characteristics that belong to this army have gradually taken shape. This tradition will be passed on as their unique recipe for victory, and may even influence certain characteristics of the future regime based on this army.

Shen Zhezi is not committed to building a benevolent army that does not offend the people, he needs the soldiers to establish a spirit of facing difficulties. For the violence of the people, it is not intolerable, but disdainful. There is no need to shout about any mission to protect and the like, where there is a battle, you must win, this is the spiritual outlook that Shen Zhezi should have in his ideal of a strong army.

In addition to military and civilian activities, there is also an endless stream of villagers from all walks of life, especially in the recent period after the Spring Festival, it has reached a peak. And these township sects are no longer limited to the surrounding areas of Linhuai, as far as Yingchuan, Qian Pei, and even farther away in Chenliu and other places, there is no shortage of township sects to visit. And in order to receive these villagers, Shen Zhezi's original plan to return to the capital was delayed again and again, which meant that it was delayed from early spring to early summer.

The Inner History Mansion in Shouchun Jincheng has recently been crowded with guests, and there are banquets of different sizes every day, so that Du He and other administrative staff have to move out of the mansion and choose a place to work.

This kind of life is really tired of Shen Zhezi, but he still has to work hard to deal with these township representatives. Regardless of whether we accept this status quo or not, we have to admit that if we can get the recognition and help of these villagers, it will be smoother for the Huainan army to enter southern Henan in the coming days.

Although the Huainan Army already has the strength to crush southern Henan, it does not mean that it must pursue a flat push all the way. People are already half-distangled, smiling to welcome guests, why bother to pick up a gun in a difficult way.

In order to welcome these representatives of the township sect who continue to enter the town, the Inner History Mansion also specially opened up two huge halls to receive these families, and the banquet was held on time at noon every day. Shen Zhezi has to show up every day, staying for a longer or shorter time, even if he is not there, there are important Huainan officials to accompany him at the banquet.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at the banquet site on this day, it was already nearly late afternoon and evening. The banquet had lasted for nearly two hours, and no matter how strong the excitement was, it was about to fade somewhat, and many people had already gotten up to say goodbye and leave the hall. But after leaving, he found that Shen Zhezi, who was dressed and walked wide under the support of more than a dozen personal soldiers, couldn't help but shout: "Liang Gong is here, Liang Gong is here!" ”

Shen Zhezi heard this title in the distance, his face couldn't help but darken, and he really felt a little resistant to this new title from the bottom of his heart. But this is also something that can't be helped, although his title has changed, but the new ministry has to be returned to the capital to receive, and it seems a little contemptuous to call him a colt, Shen Gong's words are undoubtedly more heart-wrenching.

After hearing this call, the people who were still lingering in the hall instantly rushed out, and one by one they lined up on both sides of the lower steps, and greeted each other one after another. In the hall that was originally full, there was only the Yingchuan old rules that received everyone today. It's a little embarrassing to be behind the stereotype, but it's more about happiness and joy, glad that you can be one step ahead of others and occupy a position, and you don't have to compete for luck like everyone else.

In the face of these representatives of the township sect who enthusiastically greeted them, Shen Zhezi responded with a smile, and he had to sigh in his heart that the likes of MG still have great appeal. Previously, Huainan had been stationed in an important city in southern Henan, and there were Chen Gui and other old Yingchuan people who threaded the needle, although there was no lack of villagers to see, but still remained as if they were leaving. However, as his title and title of knight entered the town and then spread outward, the number of people who came to pay their respects increased dramatically, and it seems that these ancients were also patterns, and they looked at things superficially.

However, it can also be seen from this that Jiangdong, the righteousness of the legal system, is still not lacking in the Central Plains homeland, perhaps the Langya King is congenitally insufficient, but with the passage of time, the concept of legal justice has finally been established. Of course, this is also thanks to the beauty of Huainan's victory this time. Otherwise, Shen Zhezi should not say that he is just a county prince, and it is not much use to stand up to the prince.

Speaking of the prince, in fact, Shen Zhezi, the title of the Duke of Liang County, is already a big seal. is not only the apex of the ministers, but Liang Jun was originally the fiefdom of King Zong, and it was the fiefdom of Sima Wei, the eighth son of Emperor Xuan Emperor Sima Yi. However, this vein is also intermittent, repeatedly extinction, the most recent Liang king Sima Qiao has died a few years ago, this vein is also extinct again.

Of course, Shen Zhezi, the duke of Liang County, was not inherited from the original Lord of Liang, but was sealed in the Qiao Zhi Liang County that he recovered and then built independently by the Shen family, and there were only more than 2,000 households. But because of such a reason, Shen Zhezi's county dukedom is also faintly high-end.

Shen Zhezi himself didn't care much about MG and the like, and it was a matter of whether he had this thing or not. For example, the Guangling County Duke of the Yingchuan Chen clan even needed help to survive earlier, but it was just an honorary title.

However, in the minds of the people of the time, knighthood still has extraordinary significance. Although the Shen family had already obtained the qualification to govern the portal, when Shen Zhezi was knighted, those who were far away from the situation finally recognized that this portal had become one of the few high gates in Jiangdong.

Father and son are both crowned county dukes, which is a rare respect in the capital of China and the DPRK, especially the Shen family is still the gateway to the south. There are very few people in the south who can be crowned dukes, and even Gu Rong, the founder of Nandu, whose dukedom title is posthumously sealed. As for Shen Zhezi's teacher Ji Zhan, he was only a third-class county marquis during his lifetime, and only after his death was added the second-class founder of Huarongzi. As for Lu Ye, who is still alive, the feud is slightly lower than Shen Chong. From this point of view, today's Shen family can already be deservedly called the first portal of Sanwu! Of course, according to the standards of China and North Korea, the Shen family's power position is enough, but after all, there is still a lack of foundation.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at the banquet site, those who were originally going to leave also returned to the table, vying for a word or two, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became jubilant again.

No matter how much you praise and praise with rhetoric, you will gradually feel numb after listening to it too much. Shen Zhezi sat in the middle of the seat, and what really attracted his attention was the question of these people who wanted to test Huainan's future plans and movements. However, of course, Shen Zhezi will not disclose this kind of question at will, but from these people's questions and attitudes, it can be inferred what these people in southern Henan think about the coming king to go north.

When he was boring and greeting these people, Shen Zhezi's thinking was also divergent. Although the Inner History Mansion held feasts every day, it only provided ordinary food and drink, and did not serve alcohol, as a gesture. However, the town has never issued any explicit prohibition of alcohol, in fact, even if it is issued, it may not completely eliminate private brewing. If the prohibition of alcohol is enforced, it will increase the administrative burden and administrative costs, but if the order is not implemented, it will undoubtedly damage its authority.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi simply omitted this decree, but used practical actions to show his attitude. As for his real intention, it was not to put an end to drinking, but to use this attitude to suppress private brewing, so that in the future, alcohol could be brought into the official camp and there would be little resistance.

This is also to prepare for the opening of the market trade in Japan, whether in the north or south, the manor economy itself is extremely productive, and the Shen family in Jiangdong can still dominate the market with its rich family background and the alliance of villagers. However, in Jiangbei, there is no such advantage, and if you want to reap the benefits of trade without damaging the prosperity of the market, you must have the endorsement of the official management and strong strength of special commodities, and you must not allow the market to grow savagely. After all, the form of the north and the south is different, and even if there is a strategy, it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions.

Shen Zhezi stayed in the banquet for more than half an hour before getting up and leaving the table, and by the way, announced that he was going to leave the town and return to the capital in the next few days. Although his edict of reward has entered the town, he still has to return to the capital for his specific thanksgiving and receiving the seal and ribbon uniform. Moreover, in addition to the name of the Lord, his specific ministry and official position must also be adjusted, which must be fought for after returning to the capital.
