Shisanlang, Yao Shouxin and Dou Shunqing entered Beijing and promoted the newly built schools. They each submitted a chapter to call on the generals of Hequ Road to be instructors. A large number of middle and lower-level generals followed closely in Beijing, and there were major changes in the personnel in the Hequ Road army. There was no shortage of officers, too many meritorious contributions, and the organization remained unchanged, and many people were pressed down on the lower level to promote. These seats were vacant, and they happened to be eliminated from the officers and soldiers who made contributions in the front to make up for the vacancies.

A few days ago, Du Zhongxiao agreed that soldiers who were unwilling to continue joining the army could choose to retire and return home. The Yingtianxiang Army did not have military salary, so this time they made up for it. With the discount on military merits, everyone could bring a sum of money back. Together, the two were added, and the number of soldiers on Hequ Road was extremely short of.

After sending off the middle and lower-level generals who were elected to the capital, the court's new order came down, and Du Zhongxiao's troops were vacant, and the three imperial guards were filled with the three imperial guards. In addition to the replenished troops, the three imperial guards allowed the expelled soldiers to go to the Yingtian on Hequ Road. The remaining insufficient parts were recruited by the Privy Council from Jingdong Road.

The upper structure of the Privy Council and the Third Orders did not move, the real military reform had not yet begun, and the election of the imperial guards was carried out first. Under the leadership of Han Qi, anyone who did not want to be in the army would choose three places. One was Yingtian on Hequ Road, the second was the railway construction and maintenance of the wing army, and the third was the national transportation and mailing system unifiedly managed by the Privy Council. In addition, you can apply for the exam and enter the new factories in the capital and Xijing for the people.

With the large number of muskets and cannons replaced, the production capacity of Baitingjian is insufficient, so a new military weapon production factory will inevitably be opened. The status of guns and cannons and gunpowder factories is not comparable in the past. They are unified in the two capitals. The military industry will inevitably bring about a climax of industrial expansion, with the decrease of professional soldiers, but the population of the two capitals will expand rapidly. The two capitals will reach hundreds of miles, from Xiangzhou to Baitingjian in the north to form an industrial area.

The Privy Council tried its best to achieve military equipment production under itself. Pang Ji firmly opposed it. In the end, the official industry was fully affiliated with the Salt and Iron Department, and the three departments were completely broken up. The Ministry of Revenue seized the leadership of Changping Department and pushed Du Zhongxiao's shopping malls and savings stations on Jingxi Road to the whole country. The Du Branch grabbed the issuance rights of Jiaozi nationwide, and issued Jiaozi based on the copper coins deposits of the savings station. The principle is very simple. The money of the Ministry of Revenue is spent by Du Branch, so all the income of the imperial court was put into the savings station, and Du Branch directly issued paper money for circulation. After the banknotes were circulation, the Ministry of Revenue recycled and reentered the savings station.

In the beginning, in order to achieve stability, Jiaozi issued the money from various channels, and the amount paid was actually used as the court to withdraw money. If the withdrawals were made, several Jiaozi issued the money were given along the way. If the capital was insufficient, the Ministry of Revenue transferred cash from various channels. The issuance amount of Jiaozi was exhausted, and the Ministry of Resources ordered the user department to withdraw money from the banknotes collected. Gradually, from one channel to several channels to be used for each channel, and finally it was used for all the country.

Starting from the military reform, Du Zhongxiao's previous practices on Jingxi Road, from the field affairs to Changping Office, were suddenly regarded as a national policy. A large number of officials from Jingxi Road were transferred to Beijing to serve, and the regulations were formulated, which made great efforts.

This reform was much larger than the Qingli New Deal, and there were few oppositions. Du Zhongxiao developed production on Jingxi Road and increased money and grain. Although the economic achievements were outstanding, he could only be tried in the adjacent routes with the support of important officials. Once Hequ Road was victorious, the court had no more worries and no more oppositions. When military merit was great enough, this flag was enough to break all resistance. In history, Wang Anshi's reforms must go to Xihe to open the border and accumulate military merits. Everyone has their own ideas on politics and economy. If you say you want this, I just say you want that. Military merits can make people shut up.

All this has nothing to do with Du Zhongxiao. He honestly became his Hequ Road Strategic Commander and retrained the army.

Han Qi's original plan was to select soldiers from the imperial guards, and after the necessary training was carried out, he organized and trained into a new army. Unexpectedly, as soon as the opening allowed for voluntary decommissioning was opened, a large number of imperial guards did not want to join the army at all, and most of them were willing to engage in other industries. Most of the people who were willing to train into a new army were young men. In the end, they simply gave up the election and set up a voluntary recharge. They were under thirty years old and reported for five years after entering the army for training. There were insufficient soldiers, and soldiers were recruited from several routes north of the Yangtze River, no longer tattooed. The local officials provided protection and changed their salary to replenishment. When decommissioning, the military salary was paid at one time according to the previous military salary.

With such a big change, people's hearts were turbulent. In order to ensure the stability of the army, a large number of generals on Hequ Road were once again drawn up. After entering the capital, as a coach and an officer, he first put up the new army's airs.

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to slowly find a way to replace the new army in Hequ Road and erase the imprint of Du Zhongxiao. Unexpectedly, before there was time to take action, a large number of officers from Hequ Road were taken away, and Du Zhongxiao cooperated with everything.

After nearly two months of chaos, Du Zhongxiao's original army on Hequ Road had already fallen into pieces, and the generals had nearly 70% of their effectiveness, and they could not even get up. The newly transferred troops of 60,000, and more than 30,000 imperial guards who voluntarily stopped serving in the army.

Faced with such a major change, Dangxiang was honest and constantly strengthening the cities and villages, and could not have the intention of attacking the Song army. Khitan Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Hongji confronted each other, fearing that the Song army would suddenly support one side and strictly guard the border. The chaotic military reforms were particularly stable in the border areas.

In mid-May, the imperial court issued an official edict to set up three schools of artillery, cavalry and infantry in the capital to train the officers needed. At the same time, a school was set up in Shengzhou, where Du Zhongxiao was in charge and trained officers from Hedong and Shaanxi Roads, and the situation gradually began to stabilize.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ji and Qin Feng Road Strategic Envoy Zhang Sheng were exchanged and appointed as Qin Feng Road Strategic Envoy. Zhang Sheng was the deputy envoy of Hequ Road Strategic Envoy and also served as the former leader of the Hequ Road Army under Liu Ji's position.

Looking at Liu Ji's back as he was gone, Du Zhongxiao rubbed his forehead and asked Li Fugui beside him: "Suddenly, there are so many more food and grass on Hequ Road. Is there enough food and grass transported?"

Li Fugui said: "When I returned to the business, there was enough food and grass. But now the train only reached Shengzhou. Fengzhou has not been completed yet, and the food and grass are piled up in Shengzhou. There is really no way. Newcomers can only gather in Shengzhou, and there is constant trouble every day."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Eating for dinner, ensuring that no one will go hungry is the first priority. Once this is done, I will ask the court for you! Only after you have to eat can you think of something else. Now that you have enough staff and cannot transport materials, you can quickly organize them to build roads first. I discussed with the people who came to build roads in the capital for many days. In addition to going to Shazhou, the second one is to build from the south of the Yellow River to Hezhou, and from the middle to the bank of the Yellow River. It would be good to be able to build these roads this year, and the rest should not be far away."

Li Fugui said: "What should I do if I do this when I do it?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "First build fields near Shengzhou, and then build the other roads in the other states. Shengzhou is flat and has no shortage of water. We will temporarily place 5,000 households to calm the hearts of the people. The rest of the young and strong will all go to build roads. Make sure they eat well, give some wages, and don't be resentful."

Lee Fugui said that it is. Now Du Zhongxiao is short of men, and Lee Fugui is responsible for a large number of affairs outside the army.

When he walked to the city gate, Li Fugui suddenly said, "If you want to build a field, why should you build the road south of the Yellow River? It is nearly a thousand miles from Shengzhou to Hezhou. There are too many places that are uninhabited and cannot be cultivated. Why not build the land along the Yellow River? Although it is a little farther, it is beneficial to build the land."

Du Zhongxiao said: "If it is built south of the Yellow River, in order to prevent the Yellow River waterway from moving, it is necessary to stay away from the river. It is better to go straight to Hezhou. If it is built north of the Yellow River, it is not only much farther, but also cross the river. The ferry transports too little cargo every day, so how easy is it to build a bridge on the Yellow River?"

It turned out that when I was in Xiangzhou, railway transportation was restricted due to the barrier of the Han River. No matter how many ferries there were, they could not be compared with railways. The railway finally chose a suitable location near Hequ to build a bridge, and could not be restricted by other ferries. This railway would become a major artery connecting the east and west in the future, and it would be convenient for the camping of fields to be completed by the branch line.

In Du Zhongxiao's impression, the eastern and western arteries in this area should be north of the Yellow River and under the Yin Mountains, and were confused for a while. Finally, I finally figured it out that, not to mention the technical differences, the economic structure is different from that of later generations. The railway in later generations was in the north of the Yellow River because the economic center of the north was in the Youzhou area at that time, of course, the Yellow River Tong there. Now the economic center is in the two capitals, so we have to go south of the Yellow River and then head south to the Central Plains.

The two most important cities here in later generations were Hohhot and Baotou. This world became Shengzhou and Fengzhou. Fengzhou replaced Baotou in later generations. Because the economic focus was in the Central Plains, Shengzhou replaced Hohhot's position.

After understanding this, the transportation layout in this area was finally decided.

As soon as we entered the city gate, we saw tents everywhere in the hollowed-out area in the city and the streets were crowded. Fortunately, after the victory, there were thriving scenes everywhere. Li Fugui and Bao Zheng were careful in management and did not seem chaotic. The railway transported a large amount of supplies, and it was not very difficult for the court to feed these people for dinner.

The railway not only transports goods quickly and reaches far away, but the cost is greatly reduced compared with the previous mode of transportation. In the past, one stone of grain was transported to the border areas, and several stones were consumed on the road. Linzhou only had 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and it took twenty states to provide grain nearby, and the people were suffering. Now, they directly loaded the rice produced there from Xiangzhou, and then they took some coal to get here.

The rice transported from Xiangyang and wheat transported from Dengzhou and Suozhou are endless, and eating is not a problem.

Although he had been an official for ten years, the boldness of officials in this era still opened Du Zhongxiao's eyes. In this way, all the stalls that he ignored were spread out all at once, and if he didn't dare to do so, Shengzhou would be so chaotic that the capital would definitely be even more chaotic. There was the foot of the emperor, and all the officials of the court did not see it. It was a new policy and a new policy was followed by a new policy, leaving no buffer time at all.
