In the past five or six years, the reputation of Qi Shengxu has been so great.

First, annihilate a Tartar;

Later it was a Meng'an;

Later, the entire Tartar army was defeated;

Now the Qi army has counterattacked to Liaodong!

If the Qi army was the imperial court's military and technical team, it would be a little more reassuring (just a little), but they are actually a super warlord!

The military power, regime and financial power are independent!

How much difference is this monster different from the Tartars for the Great Zhou?

No, it is even more dangerous than the Tartars.

After all, the Hu movement lasted only a hundred years, and the Qi Provincial Governor's Office was a typical Han regime.

When Emperor Longdao became the crown prince, he might regard such a place full of vitality and trouble the Tartars as a hero, and would be happy and encourage every victory they achieved.

But after he ascended the throne, his power changed his perspective. Now Emperor Longdao has learned to look at problems from the perspective of his own government, and naturally regards the uncontrolled warlords as a threat to his own imperial power.

How to solve this threat?

The first approach is of course to improve one's own strength - this is also the concept that Wen Jifu has always instilled in him.

If the imperial court's classics can dominate the world, then all the sluts are not enough to be the Tao.

A very simple and real truth, and there is no way to refute it.

So Emperor Longdao agreed to the plan to farm in Jianghuai.

However, the only one in the court who had the courage to lead millions of refugees to cross the river and headed north was actually Xu of Qi Province!

Xu Shisong, the brother-in-law of Emperor Longdao, and the son-in-law of the Great Zhou.

Logically speaking, such an identity should be avoided and not acted as a powerful official.

But there is no one in the court.

He is particularly lacking a warrior who can stand alone and not be afraid of the Tartars.

So he had to find a way to install civil servants in the Jianghuai Army to control military affairs with civil servants.

But…….

Emperor Longdao held the golden cup tightly and almost sprinkled the tribute wine of Hu Shang, which was as seductive as amber, on the ground.

However, the refugees in Jianghuai who had not been favored by the emperor for a long time had a strong confrontation with civil servants. It seemed that in the eyes of those who were stationed in the army, civil servants were equal to gentry and looked down on others.

The result of the incompatibility between civil and military affairs was that several elite camps of the Jianghuai Army led by Shunyi Camp (adapted by Shunyi Army) repeatedly contradicted the civil servants of the military supervisor.

The soldiers unanimously requested the removal of Weng Shuping and asked Xu Shiliu to come out to supervise the army.

This is another Qi Sheng Xu!!!

Why are there Qi and Xu everywhere? Is there no other talent available in Dazhou?

...

"Mr. Xu, please hand over those rioters to me!" Weng Shuping stared at Xu Shisong angrily, his eyes almost spitting out of fire.

"Mr. Weng, what do you want to do?" Xu Shisong glared back without any permission, without any intention of getting a friend.

"Those rioters who harmed Shangguan and robbed businessmen must rectify the Dharma to serve as a warning to others!"

"The so-called Shangguan embezzled military pay and sold the imperial court's military ration to the unscrupulous merchants, using sand and gravel to make up the number. This is the real death penalty!"

"Officials have their own laws on the court for committing crimes, and the rioters are not allowed to do whatever they want!"

"Fa Du? Lord Weng, have you ever been in charge of this issue as a military supervisor?" Xu Shisong said disdainfully: "You are so indulging in that treacherous minister is really not because he is your cousin?"

"Xu Shisong, you are slandering!"

"Don't you know it yourself?"

"Xu Shisong! You are just a martial artist!"

Weng Shu was trembling all over.

As a civil servant, even when the Lord and the Peace Sect were in power, he had never been contradicted by any warrior like this.

Now that the pro-war faction is in power, he, as one of the core members of his sect, cannot suppress Xu Shisong, a martial artist. It is really annoying.

"Without us martial artists, you would have been captured by the Tartars long ago." Xu Shisong said coldly: "Weng Shuping, I will remind you again that you are the military supervisor, and you should put the interests of the troops first!"

"Don't look down on the warrior anymore!"

"Hmph." Weng Shuping snorted coldly: "It seems that Lord Xu is going to protect those rioters to death?"

"Those soldiers are venting their anger for the entire army. If they hand them over to the adults, they will ignore the morale of the 110,000 troops of the 220th Battalion."

Xu Shisong shook his head:

"I will never hand them over, and I dare not do this!"

"Xu Shisong, please wait for my official to submit an interview!"

"This is Lord Weng's duty, please give me some advice."

Xu Shisong replied:

"But the lower officials will also explain the situation clearly to the emperor and Wen Gong."

"At that time, Lord Weng will first think about how to explain the issues of military pay and military rations."

...

On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Longdao.

Xu Shiyang officially entered the new year's work.

According to the new division of powers in the Governor's Office, Xu Shiyang will officially take over the two real power departments of Qi Provincial Department of War and the Ministry of Works this year.

This is also Xu Shiyang's favorite job - if he firmly grasps industry and military power, no one can shake his status.

The Grand Governor himself is not good either.

According to the plan before the last Gaizhou Battle, Xu Shiyang inspected several important factories.

First of all, there is a textile factory in Qingzhou.

Last year, Wen Yue came to this factory alone, but Xu Shiyang regarded it as one of the most important industrial layout points in Qi Province, so he had to come and take a look.

Qingzhou Textile Factory is currently the largest textile factory in Qi Province. It now has nearly 5,000 employees, most of which are women from nearby Tunbao and Fucheng.

There are more than 300 newly produced textile machines in this factory now, and it is expected that more than 500 will be purchased this year.

These 800 textile machines are all wool textile machines. Currently, the main raw materials are wool purchased from various parts of Qi Province. If the raw materials are sufficient, the factory can weave more than 850,000 wool cloths a year.

In addition, the factory can sew more than 1.5 million ready-to-wear pieces every year.

Of course, the problem now is that the sheep stock in Qisheng is not enough to provide so many raw materials. Even if banks provide large amounts of sheep farming loans to farmers, it is still not enough to consume raw materials in Qingzhou textile mills.

According to data provided by the textile factory manager, the factory only produced 150,000 second-class wool cloth last year. If the supply of wool has not improved, then although the machines have increased a lot this year, the production of wool cloth is likely to not exceed 300,000.

"Textile machines are a good thing and very efficient." The manager reported: "But there is too little wool. We should have made a lot of money. Without wool, most workers can only take one day to work and take a day off."

The textile mill production capacity is too large, which is indeed a pity.

"I will find a way to find more wool for you, and your technical department can already consider cotton spinning machines."

Xu Shiyang said:

"This year, the Ministry of Revenue will promote cotton planting in some areas. It is estimated that it will not work in the past two or three years. However, in three years, cotton and wool spinning will become the economic pillars of our province. I hope you are ready by then."

There is no problem with the safety of food supply in Qi Province, and it is natural to start growing cash crops.
