Chapter 132 Political Commissars Are Here

Lichun Pavilion is located in the northeast of Guazhou Wharf. It is a hexagonal pavilion, which is the best place to go in the entire Guazhou County. △↗At this time, the pavilion is as light as day and people are roaring. You can hear the sound of fists, silk and bamboo, singing, and laughter from afar outside the pavilion.

This Guazhou is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, across the river from Zhenjiang Prefecture, and is only more than twenty miles away from Yangzhou City, which is the focus of the gathering of merchants from all directions. The battle between the two Huai Rivers has now ended, although Li Yan of Yidu recently launched troops to occupy two cities that originally belonged to the Song Dynasty on the north bank of the Huai River. However, the war with Yidu did not seem to affect the trade between the north and the south.

After the Northern Barbarians retreated, Guazhou seemed to have become a gathering place for thousands of merchants overnight, and Lichun Pavilion, which had been cold for more than half a year, suddenly became prosperous. If Chen Dexing and the new boss of Lichun Pavilion were friends, they would not have thought of booking a private room in Lichun Pavilion without a few days in advance.

Just in the middle of the lobby on the top floor of Lichun Pavilion, there is an extremely large square table with golden cups of wine and jade plates of delicacies on the table, mixed with them.

In Chen Dexing's view, the catering of the Song Dynasty had reached a level that was no less than that of later generations. The delicacies of mountains and seas were fryed, fried, and except for the lack of chili peppers, some other dishes in later generations could basically find similar things in the Song Dynasty. And... they are all quality-saving and quantity-saving, without adulteration.

The integrity of the merchants of the Song Dynasty seemed to be far better than that of the era hundreds of years later!

Various delicacies have filled a large table with a large stove in the room. Although it is winter, it is as warm as spring and summer.

The seats were headed by Chen Dexing, including Lu Shihu, Lu Hu, Gao Da, Huang Zhishen, Ren Yijiang, Qita, Wang Wei and other Pili Navy generals. Behind Chen Dexing, there was a beautiful woman serving him. This woman was Yang Po'er, the freshly released boss here. She was really capable of making trouble. She is no longer the best in Mingyu Pavilion, but the boss of Lichun Pavilion.

By the way, this Lichun Pavilion is not a private property, but an official property. There was no official in the Song Dynasty who did not compete for profit with the people. In any favorable places, the government would have to interfere! The reason for this is that Chen Dexing's view was that the gentry of the Song Dynasty was not strong. Although the Song Dynasty had imperial examinations, it did not treat scholars very much. There were no fames such as scholars and juren. Except for a few family members of the generations, the rest were all poor households, so naturally they had no power to stop the court from competing for profit. This is why the Song Dynasty's fiscal revenue far exceeded that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (excluding the late Qing Dynasty when the door was blasted open by the great powers).

However, the government and the people compete for profit did not sluggish the commercial activities of the Song Dynasty. Instead, because the court could gain huge benefits from prosperous business, it encouraged and promoted commerce more, making commerce unprecedented prosperity. Needless to say, there is naturally a ***k...

I don’t know whose path Yang Po’er has taken. Anyway, she has contracted the best restaurant in Guazhou now - most of the commercial industries of the Song Dynasty government were contracted to private individuals.

Today's banquet is to celebrate Chen Dexing's official promotion on the one hand, and to be regarded as a late New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone here, including Yang Po'er, has been on the rise in the past few months, so they are all happy.

When everyone arrived, Chen Dexing said, "The promotion and wealth are always together. Last year, we were all promoted, and now we have good things to make money again. I plan to do some business of goods from both north and south, so I use the navy's ship to transport goods. Everyone here is my brother, and everyone has one!"

Everyone applauded, Yang Po'er's beautiful eyes circulated, and she looked at Chen Dexing, and there was a little more appreciation in her eyes. Although Chen Dexing was young, he knew how to unite people's hearts. He lived and died together on the battlefield, promoted and made money together outside the battlefield, and had any national justice, and what kind of killing one's own deeds. This method is a bit more clever than Yidu's husband. No wonder he could gather a group in such a short time.

Chen Dexing raised his right hand and the pavilion suddenly became quiet. Chen Dexing pressed the table, stood up, and said in a stern manner: "There is another thing about the future of our Pili Navy. The two Huai armies and the various armies of our Song Dynasty have all virtues. I believe you have heard of them. When we first started, we should do our best to become elite soldiers. After wealth and happiness, our fighting spirit will be eliminated, and the soldiers will not be in a fighting spirit. We can only raise some morale by rewarding. Our Pili Navy cannot become such an army! Because we have a heavy responsibility, it is extremely comparable to ordinary armies!

Everyone, are you willing to fight with Dexing to drive away the Tartars and save China?”

"willing!"

Chen Dexing focused his attention and bowed his hand and said, "Brothers all say they are willing, so I, Chen Dexing, are not talented, so let's talk about the special rules of our Pili Navy."

Everyone widened their eyes and stared at Chen Dexing, except for Yang Po'er. Her charming eyes were slowly sweeping across everyone's faces - the brothers who came out of Qionghua Tower all had superstitions on their faces. In just a few months, Chen Dexing had already established an unshakable prestige among them. Huang Zhishen, Ren Taoist priest and Kong Xiucai were convincing. However, Lu Shihu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking?

Chen Dexing then said, "What are the special rules of our Pili Navy? It's here!" He pointed to his heart, "This place must be changed and become different from ordinary people!"

"... The soldiers of the Pili Navy should know that they are Han people, Han people, the darling of heaven and earth, and the noblest race in the world! We must believe that the Tartars are slaves to demons, the most despicable and cruel race in heaven and earth! We must believe that the Tartars attempt to destroy our race, destroy our country, and slaughter all the Han people in the world. If the Han people want to survive, they can fight to the death! We must believe that if they die to defend the Han race, their souls can go to heaven and enjoy the paradise forever! We must believe that the Han people who surrendered in front of the Tartars will fall into the eighteen levels of hell forever and will never be reborn!"

This is the legendary brainwashing, the legendary spiritual atomic bomb!

Chen Dexing, who was a GCD man in his previous life, certainly knew the power of the spiritual atomic bomb!

Chen Dexing swept his eyes over everyone, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Only when all the soldiers of the Pili Navy believe in these, they will become powerful, invincible, and become the most intimidating army in the world!"

An army brainwashed by fanatical nationalist ideas was not only invincible, but also difficult to deal with in the 13th century.

"If you want my Pili Navy soldiers to believe it, you must believe it first!" Chen Dexing raised his chin high, his face full of sacred and determined expressions, "Brothers, do you believe it?"

"We believe it!" Everyone in Qionghualou's brothers shouted, and a few of them looked crazy - they were all poor people on Huai, but it was because of Chen Dexing that he had today's wealth. How could he not believe it?

"Okay!" Chen Dexing focused his attention, "Since I believe it, I will announce two more things. First, the Pili Navy Army formally recruits students with the Ying Martial Arts School and holds examinations publicly. Youths who are a little familiar with literature should be selected from the various departments under their jurisdiction to participate. Youths outside the Pili Navy can also apply.
