Chapter 1117 Long live the Ming Dynasty

"By the way! How is the process of the new currency?"

Guo Dan suddenly remembered the fat man's fat face. Wanli cared about this matter very much. Putting aside all political significance, as a wealthy person, he hoped that his face would be printed on coins.

Zhu Lizhi said: "I originally wanted to use the one I drew for His Majesty before, but the inner minister asked me to draw a few more for His Majesty, because the side of His Majesty can only be used on the coins, not the front."

Guo Dan said curiously: "Why is this?"

Zhu Lizhi said: "Because Longyan still needs to maintain a certain mystery."

"So that's it." Guo Dan nodded in a vague way.

Zhu Lizhi said again: "But it is one thing to draw it, and it is another thing to print it on coins. It is related to the appearance of the dragon and the face. You can't be careless. Everything has to be done after the finished product is made before you can determine which one is better."

"You can discuss this with the palace, I don't know much about this."

Guo Tan showed an helpless smile. After all, there are still many rules nowadays, and he was most annoyed by these things. He said: "After the army passes through triumph, I hope to give those generals an interview and publish them in newspapers. In addition, I will draw a portrait of the general who has made great contributions. Then I will discuss with His Majesty if it is the court to place it out, or whether we will make five guns ourselves."

Xu Jirong opened his eyes and said jealously: "Dandan, why didn't you do this during the war in Jiangxi?"

Dizzy! Is that a war? Guo Tan smiled and said, "Jiangxi is an internal struggle. What can I say about fighting one's own people? The Korean War is full of justice, so we naturally have to publicize it."

Zhu Lizhi nodded and said, "I agree with this. Since the Battle of Tumu Fort, our dynasty has been in a prosperous and military state, and the military households are not as good as ordinary people. We should also compensate the soldiers."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "I can't tell that you are still martial."

Xu Jirong curled his lips and said, "What a martial arts? It's just because there are no women in the army, Zhizhi goes to fight. He sends two unclothed women to hug him. He will die without using swords and guns."

“…!”

Zhu Lizhi took a deep breath and was full of anger, but... but he couldn't refute it!

However, Xu Jirong didn't notice it at all, and patted his chest and said, "I am really a martial artist. I have been fighting since I was a child. It's all my fault for my grandfather. I locked me at home at that time, otherwise... Humph, I'm going to pretend."

Guo Dan said angrily: "You have not yet understood the essence of pretending to behave. There are countless people who have made military contributions. No matter how great your contributions are, can you surpass Shangshu Fang, General Li and others? But you are the only godfather. Next year will be the year of education outbreak. Xiao Boye College will be listed in the shareholding system at that time, and even those literati will probably buy it. You must be very glorious and unique."

Xu Jirong was ecstatic when he heard this and said, "It's reasonable! It's reasonable! OK, lightly, all these things will be left to you, I'm just waiting to show off."

“…!”

In the past and present, Guo Dan regrets very little. The last thing he regrets is to say the bold words "I force you to pretend, I will do my job", followed by "two fools in the capital".

......

During this period, Guo Dan was not busy with other things, but was just preparing for the triumphal return of the army.

Because such opportunities are hard to come by.

This war had been given the attributes of benevolence and justice before. This is a teacher of justice. No matter how grand it is, the civil officials would not say much. If it were not for this, those civil officials would definitely be forced.

It's impossible to make it so big.

After the fat man decided to use the Sun and Moon flag as the national flag, Guo Dan first asked the fat man to keep it confidential, and then used newspapers to promote it to explain the significance of the national flag and the national emblem. However, he did not announce the specific style, and the final answer will be announced at the triumphal ceremony on the first day of October.

Holding the national flag and the national emblem came to build momentum for this army's triumphant victory.

It's really a perfect match!

But Guo Dan felt that it was not enough, so he even instigated the fat man to change the Yongding Gate of the outer city into the Arc de Triomphe, and the section from the Yongding Gate to the Zhengyang Gate of the inner city into Triomphe Avenue.

The fat man agreed happily.

As the emperor of the ages, you must leave your mark in the capital!

Dong Pavilion!

"Arc de Triomphe? Triumph Avenue?" Chen Younian couldn't help but wonder after learning about this: "What exactly are you going to do?"

This military parade is fine, even the names of the city gates and streets have been changed, this...!

He felt a little sensational.

Xu Guo smiled and said, "Don't you understand this? The court ignored this in the previous few great victories. This victory is very rare because it is our aid to the vassal states to achieve a great victory, not for self-protection, but more for justice. Your Majesty naturally attaches great importance to it. If you miss this opportunity, even if your Majesty has the power of civil and military power, it will be difficult to find an opportunity."

Li Sancai asked again: "But Guo Dan is so concerned about this? Does he hope to take the credit for himself?"

Wang Xijue shook his head and said, "According to my understanding of Guo Dan, he only cares about more practical interests, not these. In fact, he made many contributions to our Ming Dynasty, but the only reward he asked for from His Majesty was the power of the first son-in-law. I guess he was mostly to boost morale, hoping that the government and the people would pay more attention to military affairs, and his purpose was to better protect his foreign trade."

Chen Younian heard this and said angrily: "He really thinks for the long term!"

Xu Guo hehehe said, "It's not just that he thinks for the long term. He is far-sighted! If it weren't for the expedition to be given justice and benevolence, then he would have attracted a lot of opposition. But now, I have heard that many people in Shilin are dissatisfied with his behavior, but they have to praise this victory, which is related to benevolence and righteousness. No matter how grand it is, they will not be able to object."

Shen Shixing sighed, "We have to admit that Guo Dan not only sees the longest view than us, but also sees places we cannot see."

All the cabinet ministers nodded one after another.

They didn't expect that the dispute over kings and overlords would have caused so many things. If they could think of it, they wouldn't have fought.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs, which was very serious. As a result, the higher the triumphal ceremony, the larger the literati. Of course, the literati felt very sad. The court had never used a ceremony of this scale to celebrate their literati.

But they dare not say it out, and their countermeasures are to follow suit, as they use this matter to highlight Confucianism and not discuss the war process and heroes in the war.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

They no longer monopolize public opinion, and propaganda is no longer based on words, but on capital.

Today's morning meeting for Yashang is discussing this triumphal ceremony again.

Aunt Xu was quite interested in this, so she came to listen to the gossip, but Kou Weisha felt that the subsequent arrangement was really endless.

"Sign up with... General Li and the others?" Kou Weisha looked at Guo Dan in confusion.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "After my operation, they must be shining with stars and are sought after by the people. Then they are valuable. We businessmen provide them with clothing and leather boots, and other people will also rush to imitate, which will naturally drive business."

Kou Weisha wondered: "How much business can this bring? It can be almost negligible. However, they are all generals. If there is a dispute, it will be more of a loss. I think the benefits of this transaction outweigh the disadvantages. It is better to have less than more things."

Aunt Xu, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Yusha, this money is just a small matter for us, but the safety of our goods outside is a big matter."

Kou Weisha nodded slightly, as if she understood something.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Mrs. said it well. Of course, this is the main reason, but from a business perspective, it is also a very cost-effective deal. Just talking about Feixu, how many women are imitating her clothes now."

Yang Feixu said: "Don't talk nonsense, why don't I know?"

Guo Dan laughed and said, "That's because you only have me in your eyes, and my eyes... cough cough, my throat is a little itchy."

Zhu Yaoyao pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Not to mention, there are quite a few, especially in sports places such as Chuwan Field and Horse Field. In addition, there are also presidents. Nowadays, women who work in business are learning from our president's clothes."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "You are one of them too."

Zhu Yao's face turned red and he did not deny it.

She did imitate Kou Weisha before, but now she has accepted the identity of a princess again, and has her own style, noble and elegant.

Kou Weisha suddenly had nothing to say.

......

This not only scared the literati and businessmen, but also scared the soldiers who came to triumphantly.

They have arrived in Tongzhou today, but the court asked them to rectify in Tongzhou for two days, and then enter the capital again on October 1st. They told them to enter the Arc de Triomphe, walk the Triumph Avenue, parade in front of Chengtian Gate, raise the flag... and so on!

Fang Fengshi, Wu Weizhong and the others not only felt a little surprised, but were afraid.

The change in the imperial court is a little too big.

Especially Fang Fengshi, he wanted to die on the battlefield. He thought the battlefield was his best belonging. He didn't know that he still lives a lot of energy now, but no matter what, he was asking for it was not all.

Li Rusong and the others were also worried about gains and losses. It sounded very good, but no one had experienced these things. When they suddenly came like this, they were of course a little scared. We are not a group of handsome men and beautiful women, can we be so arrogant?

Fortunately, it's only two days. If you wait a few more days, you will probably have a pair of panda eyes when you enter the city.

But when they appeared outside the city early on October 1st, all the uneasiness in their hearts disappeared when the first light flashed in the east, and there was nothing but excitement and emotion.

I saw that the outskirts of the city were full of people, as if they could not see the edges, regardless of gender, age or age.

Pulling various banners.

The kind are invincible!

A teacher of benevolence and righteousness!

The Ming army is invincible in the world!

When they saw them appear, a shocking cheer immediately burst out from the crowd.

The war horses were so scared that they all raised their front hooves and kicked them. Fortunately, they were all real soldiers. Otherwise, they would have to fall off, which would be embarrassing.

Gradually, the cheers became uniform.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
Chapter completed!
