The end of the year is approaching.

There is another lively scene in Leizhou.

Although some people have returned to their hometowns, some people still choose to stay in Leizhou or plan to leave after the Chinese New Year.

Those who left sold the property back to the government at the price they had originally bought from the government, which raised some funds for the court. These funds were soon placed in various China Merchants Banks throughout Guangnan West Road.

If the people are short of money, as long as they have something to mortgage, they can make loans in China Merchants Bank.

If you have extra money at home, you can deposit the remaining money into China Merchants Bank to collect interest.

The private gold and silver shops have closed one after another.

Those who make big fuss and are unwilling to close the door will be sealed off by the government with compulsory measures.

In Haikang, Suixi, Xuwen and other counties, there are long queues of people in front of China Merchants Bank, and they often do not disperse from sunrise to sunset.

Some officials from China Merchants Bank beat drums and drums, patrol the streets and cities, calling on the people to deposit money at China Merchants Bank and give small gifts.

The idea of ​​giving small gifts was naturally thought of by Zhao Dongting. Such marketing methods have indeed worked very well in this era.

Just giving away some snacks for the New Year has allowed China Merchants Bank to raise a lot of funds.

The Song Dynasty was still short of money, but it was not as short as before that it was so short that it could not even pay the salary.

Just five days before the New Year, the military pay, the court salary, and the military family's pension were paid at the same time.

The officials from the finance department in various places were busy, but they were working hard.

On the official road, the soldiers who transported money were all sweating profusely and were smiling.

Among these salaries and military pay, they are their share.

There was finally no chaos in the court and the army.

Just after the military pay was paid, Zhao Dongting's appointment of the generals of the army was announced immediately.

Wen Tianxiang was still appointed as the military commander, Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi was still the deputy military commander. However, many new faces appeared among the commanders of each army.

The Song Dynasty officially established the Tianjie Army and the Feitian Army, and Xiao Yulin and Ren Wei were officially appointed as the commander commander of the Tianjie Army and the commander commander of the Feitian Army respectively.

Yue Peng was still the commander of the Tiankui Army, and Su Quandang, Zhang Hongwei, Du Hu, Jiang Xiu, Jin Hao, and Liu Zijun, the generals who survived the battle in Guangxi were still in their original positions. Miao Youli was officially promoted from the deputy commander of the Tianshang Army to the commander of the commander of the headquarters, and He Fang Songye was also promoted to the deputy commander of the headquarters. In addition, the commander of the army was mostly promoted from the former deputy commander of the headquarters or Du Yuhou.

Zhao Dongting planned to let Mrs. Xu serve as the commander-in-chief, but was rejected by Mrs. Xu.

Now Mrs. Xu is completely immersed in the sunset love with Hong Wutian.

Zhao Dongting had to smile bitterly to accept reality.

And Mengtuo and Zhang Hongfan, the former generals of the Yuan Dynasty, also held positions in the Song army.

Mengtuo, deputy commander of the Tiangang Army, Zhang Hongfan, and Yuhou of the Tiankui Army.

After political transformation, the former surrendered soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were all incorporated into various armies. Except for Mengtuo, Zhang Hongfan and others, no other generals were granted positions above the Du Yuhou. In this regard, Zhao Dongting was far less generous than Kublai Khan.

However, Monto, Zhang Hongfan and their generals dared not say anything.

It’s already good to keep a life, who dares to ask for so much?

The troops of the Song Dynasty were still weaker than those of the Yuan Dynasty. It was natural that Emperor Song did not give them important positions in the army.

What's more, some generals still hold regular positions. This is already very good.

You should know that Deng Yezhou, the deputy pioneer general who surrendered at the same time as Song Bitao, was only named the commander of the Tianman army.

No, now it should be said that he is the leader of the group.

While Zhao Dongting promoted the generals, he also thoroughly rectified his official positions in the army.

The army no longer judged by several rank officials, but copied the current military rank system. The marshal had the highest rank, and then the generals were generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, and school officials were colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors, and lieutenants were captains, lieutenants, and second lieutenants.

Zhao Dongting is already preparing for future military rectification.

Since we plan to implement the conscript system, we will inevitably implement the non-commissioned officer system in the future.

In the entire Song Dynasty, only Zhao Dongting himself served as the rank of marshal of the world's military commander and was the rank of marshal.

Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi are the generals.

Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Zhang Hongwei and other few people became lieutenant generals.

Later, the commander commander of each army and the deputy commander commander were mostly the rank of major general. The Du Yuhou was mostly colonel.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to directly raise the ranks of generals of each army too high, because in that case, they would have no future. Being an emperor and a boss is actually similar, to letting the people below have a future and a goal. Without a future and a goal, their minds will go elsewhere.

The military rank has been changed, but the real power has not changed. Therefore, the army happily accepted this kind of reform.

In the early days of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting used thunder to make a preliminary mark in the court, both the people and the military.

From then on, the state of military and political systems in the Song Dynasty became more obvious. Civil officials were not generals, but military generals would never interfere in local management.

Of course, the commanders of the garrison troops in various places are excluded. The commanders of the garrison troops in various places still have the right to vote when encountering major events.

This is probably the prototype of the modern standing committee.

However, there are not many garrison troops in various parts of Guangnan West Road.

There is no way to do so if there is insufficient troops.

Zhao Dongting cut down the Leizhou army. Except for the garrison troops left behind by Haikang, Xuwen and Suixi counties, the other Leizhou army were either removed from the armor and returned to the fields or assigned to other troops, which were far from filling the vacancies of the 17th Army. Where can anyone be transferred to the garrison troops in various places?

From the moment Wen Tianxiang and others were ordered to establish a garrison army, Zhao Dongting said that the recruitment can only be achieved by your efforts.

Now, even the Ministry of War, which is responsible for the recruitment, cannot help much, because all the yamen have not yet fully operated.

The Song Dynasty, which was in trouble, had too many things to do. This made even Emperor Zhao Dongting, very busy.

It is another new Leizhou Courtesan Conference.

Zhao Dongting didn't have time to see it.

But Xi Yi said that there were not many outstanding women at this Celebrity Conference.

It is rare for women who can be as beautiful as Yunjin in the world, and they don’t appear every year.

After hearing Xi Yi's report, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but think of Yun Jin. He didn't know how she was doing now with Jun Tianfang.

Are they still in Shu?

What about Wu Amiao, the guy who is determined to become the most awesome swordsman in the world?

Has he found a good teacher now? He wouldn't he still swaying everywhere with his "sword hilt" on his back?

"hehe……"

Zhao Dongting thought about it and couldn't help laughing out loud.

If possible, he really hopes that Wu Amiao, who is not in tune with the rules, will one day become the most awesome swordsman in the world!

The world's number one who is uncontrollable must be much more interesting than that old man, Sword God, empty son, right?

After a few days, New Year's Eve finally arrived.

This is the fourth year that Zhao Dongting is about to spend in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before he knew it, he had been here for nearly four years.

Le Wuchen and Le Wu have not returned yet, and the girl’s bedroom is missing, and she always feels that she lacks such anger.

Zhao Dongting still has no courage to tell Xiao Yulin about this matter.

On New Year's Eve, Zhao Dongting invited important officials and generals in the court to the palace to attend a banquet as usual.

When the civil and military ministers arrived at the hall, they immediately made the hall lively.

This is much more lively than two years ago.

The Song Dynasty was thriving in difficulties, and many signs could be seen from the court.

There were hundreds of civil officials above two ranks and generals above the army gathered here.

In addition, Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu were also specially invited to the banquet.

Zhao Dongting, wearing a dragon robe, Ying Er, who was full of joy and red dress, and Yang Shufei, were greeted quickly.

Zhao Dongting smiled and asked everyone to be exempted from gifts. He also felt a lot of emotion when he looked at the crowded hall.

Many old faces have passed away forever, but more new faces have appeared here.

After everyone sat down, a palace maid brought the meal in a long queue.

With the sound of silk and bamboo, a dancer entered the hall gracefully.

The dancer in the head covered her face, with a very graceful figure, as if she was as beautiful as the world.

The clothes are fluttering, the long sleeves are good at dancing, the king and the ministers are having fun together, and the laughter is everywhere in the hall.

The king and his ministers welcome the New Year of the Song Dynasty.

Outside the palace, firecrackers and fireworks are flying all over the sky, which is also very lively.
