After hearing what the representative of the Kong family said, Xu Muhe shook his head disapprovingly.

The support of scholars all over the world? Let alone whether there is any, even if there is, what's the use?

He, Xu Muhe himself, and Xu Mujiang, were both standard scholars - the Jinshi who was on the right path to the imperial examination.

But what's the use of this? In the end, you were still curled up in a corner like Juzhou and became a rich man with a reputation?

The situation in Qingzhou is completely caused by Xu Shiyang leading his troops.

After more than ten years of war, even the stupidest person can understand that it is more important for soldiers in troubled times.

Besides, Xu Muhe is not stupid, he will never go against his son who firmly holds military power.

Because he is Xu Shiyang's biological father, no matter what height Xu Shiyang can reach in the future, Xu Muhe will steadily surpass him.

As long as he is alive, even if Xu Shiyang is in charge of the world, he can only be a Taizong.

Taizu is naturally his Xu Muhe.

Even if he only sat on the throne for one day and immediately passed the throne to Xu Shiyang, he was the Supreme Emperor and enjoyed all the treatment he should enjoy.

If you cause trouble for your son, Xu Shiyang must do something that he can't bear to say, that's really a fool.

So, if Xu Shiyang agrees to his ascension to the throne today, then naturally everything will be fine.

Since Xu Shiyang Mingyan will consider the issue of the throne ten years later, he will plan to wait ten years before talking about it.

"Mr. Jiedushi really won't think about it anymore?" The middle-aged man called Mr. Kong frowned and said, "If you don't proclaim yourself, you will not be able to hold the imperial examinations, and you will not be able to win the hearts of the scholars and talents in the world."

"This requires help from me."

Xu Muhe didn't care about the person in front of him, but he attached great importance to the family he represented, so he was very polite to this middle-aged man:

"I am the general..., I am the governor, but I am not the emperor now."

"I can vow with you to make an appointment with you for ten years. After ten years, you will naturally have the opportunity to show your strength!"

"But now, please ask me to start with you at the end of Qingping with me."

Mr. Kong bowed and said, "Dare you not obeying your order!"

But he was actually very disappointed.

There will be another ten years of hardship...

Mr. Kong felt that the ten years before the Supreme Master’s Mansion was already hard enough.

More than ten years ago, the Supreme Master's Mansion gave the emperor a message of persuasion to Dajin, but Dajin failed to gain a foothold in the Central Plains and quickly withdrew from the customs to deal with the pressure of the Mongols and the birth of a young man.

Later, when he went to the Saint Master's Mansion, he gave the Mongolians a message of persuasion. As a result, the Tartars had never even come to Qi Province. Even if they entered the pass, they were just wandering around Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Or you would go south and try to cross the river.

Neither the Jurchens nor Mengwu made things difficult for their family, but in the past ten years of migration to the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Supreme Master's Mansion quickly transformed from a Confucian holy land into a large fortress owner family...

The Master Mansion currently controls more than a dozen forts. Because the Tartars never attack their family, they have more than 10,000 strong men, tens of thousands of women, children, elderly and weak, and are considered very powerful locals.

But no matter how strong a place is, it is always just a tycoon. What the master's mansion wants most is the status of a holy place in the hearts of the scholars of the world, and the feeling that the emperor must respect himself.

Therefore, after discovering that Xu Muhe in Qingzhou had a chance, Mr. Kong quickly set off and gave him a comment of persuasion.

As a result, Xu Muhe was indeed moved, but his son, Xu Shiyang, who held military power, actually disagreed!

This is really disappointing.

...

The Qingzhou Army Martyrs Cemetery near Xujia No. 15th Tun, Juzhou.

Since the first time defeating a Tartar, Muke and buried all the militias that died at that time, the cemetery has slept with more than 3,000 martyrs who died in the Qingzhou expansion war.

Today is the largest number of people sleeping at this cemetery at one time - Xu Shiyang here, holding a collective funeral for 5,593 Qingzhou new troops and militia who had just died in order to resist the invasion of the Tartars.

Today's weather is a coincidence, it is gloomy and it is drizzling, as if God is mourning the heroic soldiers who died.

The comrades who died in the sacrifice of the soldiers were digging up sleeping graves for the warriors. Rows of thick wooden coffins were placed in front of the graves. Xu Shiyang was wrapped in black cloth belts on his arms and walked over from beginning to end. He lowered his head and placed his hands on the coffin, as if he was holding the soldiers' shoulders and talking to them in a low voice.

For a whole day, Xu Shiyang kept repeating this action, no one disturbed him, and the relatives of the sacrificed soldiers endured unspeakable sadness, watching the commander who led everyone to fight back the invasion of the Tartars.

No one disturbed his final conversation with the soldiers. Only after Xu Shiyang passed by would those relatives come forward to say their final farewell to their relatives.

In the evening, Xu Shiyang finally finished talking with the last martyr.

He walked back to the front of the team, gently placed his hands on his lower abdomen, lowered his head, and said goodbye to the soldiers.

The comrades stepped forward and put the martyrs' coffins into the tomb together, then covered the soil to form rows of neatly arranged earth buns.

In front of each separate tower, a bluestone stele was erected with the soldiers' names, hometowns, honors and time and place of sacrifice.

The comrades placed a glass of wine and a bowl of rice in front of each martyr's tomb.

The family members came forward to burn incense, but those without their families would be replaced by comrades.

Three rows of musketeers opened fire round by round as their final farewell to the martyrs.

...

After the funeral, Xu Shiyang delivered a speech in front of the martyrs' families and comrades-in-arms. In addition to acknowledging the martyrs' bravery, he announced in public that he would once again improve the treatment.

First, the families of martyrs enjoy more financial and tax subsidies every year.

Their tax payments are 5% lower than those of non-martyrs, and if a loan is required, the bank will give priority to approval and provide lower interest.

Second, all the land vouchers owned by the soldiers and the land allocated by the Jiedushi’s office when they joined the army were paid in one lump sum.

Third, establish military insurance. The monthly salary of new soldiers is forced to store five to ten percent each month depending on the military rank. The military also takes out the same amount and deposits it into the bank together. After the soldier is retired or sacrificed, it will be paid to the soldier himself or his family in one lump sum.

Fourth, families of soldiers of appropriate age can be given priority to recruit workers or joining the army.

Fifth, soldiers without relatives can take out another military pay to purchase the bank's public welfare fund. The bank uses this public welfare fund to adopt an orphan for him, which is counted as the soldier's adopted son. If the soldier unfortunately dies, the adopted son will inherit the soldier's surname and continue the incense for the soldier.

At this point, the collective funeral ends.

But Xu Shiyang did not leave. He stood there, quietly looking at rows of new and old graves, and suddenly said in a low voice:
Chapter completed!
