In early spring, everything is new and the earth is full of vitality.

As the climate gradually warms up, the atmosphere around Shouchun City is becoming more and more lively. In the empty suburbs outside the city, a large amount of wood and stone materials have been piled up, and there are many busy figures of craftsmen on the long city walls, building city walls and building houses.

On the open and flat road, you can occasionally see a long army of soldiers, either returning to the city to defend themselves, or leaving the city to guard the city. The soldiers were all straight and full of energy, and their military appearance was neat and serious. Along the way, there were many villagers who encountered labor and production in the countryside. When they saw the formation and carriage passing by, many villagers stopped their work, clapped their hands and shouted: "The King's Army is brave!"

This scene looks particularly harmonious, especially in this era of frequent wars. Apart from Huainan Town, I am afraid there will be no such harmonious scenes in military and civilians elsewhere. The so-called thieves pass like combs and soldiers pass like combs is by no means a false statement, and it has nothing to do with whether the military discipline is strict or not. In the war, it is undoubtedly the top priority to try every means to win, and people's livelihood is secondary. The army has a more strict organization and execution ability than the thieves, and relatively speaking, the exploitation of the people is much more serious.

Therefore, since ancient times, there is no need to seek any harmonious relationship between the civilians and the military. Because no matter how combat effectiveness the army is, whether it wins or not, the people are naturally in a position of being exploited. The reason why there is not much military and civilian grudge in Huainan Town is that most of the daily operations and combat resources of the Huainan Army are supplemented by external compensation, and the other is that the military and political separation is relatively thorough. Even at the most serious moment of the battle, Shen Zhezi did not allow the army to directly participate in the exploitation and atrocities of the people.

This doesn't matter whether it is benevolent or the considerations of the people. Even Shen Zhezi must admit that in the past year, the labor force of the people in Huainan has been heavy, and there is a considerable degree of exploitation and forced, which is inevitable. All he can do is to avoid using punishment methods such as corporal punishment in this process, and also reward and encouragement.

The reason why the army is not allowed to participate in the use of people's power is mainly considered from the perspective of military construction. The army is an organized and disciplined violent group. If it confronts the people, it will naturally have an advantage, especially the pleasure of bullying the weak with the strong, which will be addictive.

The Huainan Army is a pieced together and a newly formed army. The past year has been the most important year for this army to resist pressure and polish it. Some traditions and qualities that belong to this army are gradually taking shape. This tradition will be passed down as their unique secret to victory, and can even affect some characteristics of the regime created based on this army in the future.

Shen Zhezi is not committed to building a benevolent army that is completely unfair to the people. He also needs the soldiers to establish a spirit of facing difficulties. He does not bear to be unbearable, but disdain for the violence of the people. There is no need to shout about mission protection, or the like. Any war is necessary to win. This is the spiritual outlook that a strong army should have in Shen Zhezi's ideal.

In addition to military and civilian activities, there were also a constant stream of rural sects from all sides to visit, especially after the New Year, which has reached a peak period recently. These rural sects are no longer limited to the surrounding areas of Linhuai, as far as Yingchuan, Qiaopei, and even further away Chenliu and other places, there are many rural sects coming to visit. In order to receive these rural sect families, Shen Zhezi originally planned to return to the capital again and again, which means he was dragging from early spring to early summer.

The Neishi Mansion located in Jincheng, Shouchun, has been crowded with guests recently, and there are banquets of varying sizes every day, so that Du He and other administrative personnel had to move out of the mansion and choose a place to work.

This kind of life of ushering in and seeing off is really boring for Shen Zhezi, but he still has to cheer up and deal with these rural representatives. Whether you accept this situation or not, you have to admit one thing. If you can get the recognition and help from these rural families, the Huainan army will be more smooth in entering southern Henan in the future.

Although the Huainan army has already had the strength to crush southern Henan, it does not mean that they must pursue a flat push. They are already half-exposed and greeting guests with a smile. Why should they hold their guns in a hard way without understanding the charm?

In order to welcome these rural representatives who have been entering the town, the Neishi Mansion has specially opened two huge halls to welcome these families, and the banquet is held on time at noon every day. Shen Zhezi has to show up every day and stay for a long or short time. Even if he is not there, there will be important Huainan officials accompanying the banquet.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at the banquet site on that day, it was almost evening in the afternoon. The banquet had lasted for nearly two hours, and even the intensity of his enthusiasm would decline. Many people had already stood up and said goodbye and left the hall. However, after leaving, they found that more than ten meters away, surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers, Shen Zhezi, who was walking here, couldn't help but shout, "Mr. Liang is here!"

When Shen Zhezi heard this title, his face turned dark. He felt a little resistant to this new title from the bottom of his heart. When he was young, he got a honorable title. When he was called like this, he suddenly felt that he had been old for many years. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Although his title was changed, he still had to take all his new duties. He also seemed a little contemptuous to call him the prince consort. Mr. Shen's words were undoubtedly even more heart-stirring.

After hearing this call, the people who were still staying in the hall rushed out in an instant, and they walked downstairs one by one, and greeted each other one after another. In the hall that was already full, there was only Yingchuan Chengui, who was receiving everyone today. Chengui was a little embarrassed when he was behind, but it was more of a blessing and joy. He was glad that he could join his position in one step and no longer had to compete for happiness like others.

Facing these representatives of the village sects who were enthusiastic about, Shen Zhezi smiled and nodded in his response, and he had to sigh that MG and others were still very appealing. Previously, Huainan had already stationed troops in important cities in southern Henan, and Chen Gui and other old Yingchuan hoped that others could thread needles. Although there were many rural sects who came to see each other, they remained close and distant. However, as his MG and his rewards entered the town and then spread out, the number of visitors suddenly increased. It seemed that these ancient people were also in the form of things and looked at the surface.

However, it can also be seen from this that Jiangdong's legal system is still full of markets in the homeland of the Central Plains. Perhaps the lineage of Langya King is inherently deficient, but as time goes by, the concept of legal system justice has finally been established. Of course, this is also due to the beauty of the victory in Huainan this time. Otherwise, Shen Zhezi would not be very useful if he was just a county duke, and it would be useless to bear the title of king.

Speaking of the title of king, Shen Zhezi, the title of Liang County Duke, has been a great title. Not only is it a title of minister, but Liang County was originally a title of king of sects and the title of King of Liang, Sima Yu, the eighth son of Emperor Xuan, Sima Yi. However, this lineage is also intermittent and has repeatedly lost its succession. Recently, the King of Liang, Sima Qiao, had died several years ago, and this lineage has also lost its succession again.

Of course, Shen Zhezi, the Duke of Liang County, did not inherit the original title of King Liang, but was granted the Liang County established by the overseas Chinese, which he recaptured and then built independently by the Shen family. The fief was only more than 2,000 households. However, due to this, the duke of Shen Zhezi, the county, also showed a little high-end.

Shen Zhezi himself didn't care much about MG and the like. It was just that for him whether this thing had or did not have it. For example, the Duke of Guangling County in the Chen family of Yingchuan even needed help from someone to survive earlier, but it was just an honorary title.

However, in the minds of people at that time, title titles still have extraordinary significance. Although the Shen family had already obtained the qualification to govern the ruling portal, when Shen Zhezi issued the title title, people finally admitted that this portal had become one of the few high-ranking gates in Jiangdong after they were far away.

Both father and son were granted the title of Duke of the County, which is rare in the supreme reverence of both China and Korea, especially the Shen family is still a member of the Southern people. There are only a few southerners who were granted the title of Duke, and even Gu Rong, the founding title of Duke after his death. As for Shen Zhezi's teacher Ji Zhan, he was granted the title only in the third-class county marquis during his lifetime, and was added to the second-class Huarongzi after his death. As for Lu Ye who was still alive, his fiefdom was slightly lower than that of Shen Chong. In this regard, the Shen family can now be called the first member of the Three Wus! Of course, according to the standards of the decline of China and Korea, the power position of the Shen family is enough, and it is still lacking in its foundation.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at the banquet, the people who were originally going to leave also returned to the banquet, rushing to talk to each other, and the atmosphere in the whole hall became jubilant again.

No matter how sweet praise and praise were, he would gradually become numb after listening to it. Shen Zhezi sat in the table. What really attracted his attention was the question of these people trying to test Huainan's future plans and trends. However, Shen Zhezi would certainly not disclose such problems at will, but he could also infer from the questions and attitudes of these people, what these people in Henan think about the future king's army going north.

When he was bored and greetings with these people, Shen Zhezi's thinking also spread. Although the Neishifu held a banquet every day, it only provided ordinary food and no wine supply, which was used to show his attitude. However, the town has never issued any clear prohibition orders. In fact, even if it was released, it may not be able to completely eliminate private brewing. If the prohibition is implemented, the management burden and administrative costs must be increased, but if there is no order, it will undoubtedly damage one's authority.

So Shen Zhezi simply saved this decree and expressed his attitude with practical actions. As for his real intention, he did not stop drinking, but used this attitude to suppress private brewing, so that he could bring alcoholic beverages to the government in the future without any resistance.

This is also to prepare for the opening of the market trade in the future. Nowadays, no matter north or south, the manor economy itself is extremely productive. In Jiangdong, Shenjiashang can dominate the market with a rich family background and the alliance between villagers. However, in Jiangbei, there is no such advantage. If you want to collect the benefits of trade without damaging market prosperity, you must have the official business of special commodities and the endorsement of strong strength. You cannot allow the market to grow wildly. After all, the forms of the north and the south are different. Even if you have strategies, you must adapt to local conditions.

Shen Zhezi stayed in the table for more than half an hour before getting up and leaving the table, and announced that he would leave the town and return to the capital in the past few days. Although his reward edict has already entered the town, he still has to return to the capital for the specific gratitude and the collection of seals, ribbons and uniforms. In addition to MG, his specific official positions must be adjusted, and he must fight for it after returning to the capital.
