There is nothing good about this year's Spring Festival.

Due to the major changes last year, Emperor Jinghe deliberately reduced the scale when holding a New Year's banquet.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother’s various rewards were not lost before, which made the royal family and nobles breathe a sigh of relief.

This year, six officials from the empress dowager also received rewards from the empress dowager. They, who had been owed several months of salary, finally had the money to take it home for the New Year.

Of course, there are still a few people waiting for rice to be cooked here. Most of them either have large assets or surplus grain.

After all, all officials are born out of trouble, and the people don’t know what kind of suffering they are.

The Spring Festival holiday of Dakang inherited the old system of the previous dynasty. It started sealing the seal from the Little New Year and not until the Shangyuan Festival, which was after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when it started working.

But these are just officials. Those ordinary people should be busy with their work, and those who do business still have to do business.

Some industries are just like modern times, and they make money through the Spring Festival.

Liu Mingqi himself has two important things.

The first one is of course attending Liu Mingjing's wedding.

At the New Year's banquet, Emperor Jinghe re-enthroned the two princes, Prince Yu, and Prince Yi, and Prince Wu.

From then on, there were three princes among the next princes of Dakang.

In addition, Liu Mingyou, the second son of King Su, was promoted to Prince Yan because of his performance in Ningyuan City.

Therefore, the scale of the newly released Martial King's wedding was beyond imagination. It was held in the inner city alone for three days and three nights.

Not to mention that the Empress, who had never left the palace, followed Jinghedi and went to the Wu Palace to bless them.

Liu Mingjing himself is also very "miserable".

After knowing that he had passed the first month of the year, he would follow Liu Mingqi to the grassland, and then go to the southwest to train troops. Yiwang and his wife even stuffed him five maids as concubines.

During the New Year, Liu Mingjing's most important job every day is to work hard on six wives, big and small.

Liu Mingqi's second thing is actually similar to his.

The boy took Miss Qiaolian and Luling to his concubines and formally praised their status.

The two young ladies never thought that one day they would become the prince's concubine.

Moreover, with their status in the mansion, as long as they can give birth to children, they will sooner or later become princesses, sons can become dukes, and daughters can become county lords.

Think about the weak Prince Yu Mansion two years ago, and think about the current Prince Yu Mansion, which is at its peak, both young ladies seem to be dreaming.

It's not just them.

This is what the entire Yu Prince’s Mansion feels like.

Especially when Princess Yu once again threw money and gave them big red envelopes one by one, the big guy was even more excited.

An ordinary servant in the Prince Yu Mansion is rewarded with 600 taels of silver, not to mention the supervisors who have their own responsibilities.

...

And this Spring Festival is also the most comfortable one for all Dakang people in recent years.

Because there are no natural disasters this year, the world is in chaos and there are all kinds of repairs and constructions. As long as the people are not too lazy to be too lazy, they can have work to do.

Many honest people can't help but pray that it would be great if the world was peaceful every day.

But this is certainly not the case.

Even in modern times, beautiful countries and Great Britain are sow discord all day long and do bad things, which makes people uneasy.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jinghe issued several imperial edicts in succession.

"Zhou, the Minister of War of Dakang, is highly respected and respected, and is not willing to return to his righteousness. He is actually my subordinate. However, he is old and weak, so he requested to retire and return to his hometown to support him. I specially named Zhou Zhixiao as "Fengwu Hou", and rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land. He returned to his hometown with his father, mother, wife and son each had a reward!"

"Governor Liao Shicong, Northeast China, is upright and heroic, steadfast, and has the heart to serve the country to the death. He shines brightly in the battle to defend Jinzhou City. He is now specially promoted to the Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. He hopes to live up to my expectations, be in love with the world, and become a model and capable minister of Dakang."

"Liaoning Governor Wang Hao is loyal to his duties, cautious and heroic, sympathetic to the people, and is worthy of great use. Now he is promoted to the Governor of Northeast China, and I hope he can protect the border of Dakang and maintain peace in the world."

"Xiong Niu Guards' Captain Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin are handsome and brave, with elegant character. They made great contributions in the battle against Japan last year. Therefore, they were promoted to General Qianu Guards and were granted the title of Earl respectively. I hope that the two generals will continue to be loyal to the country and serve the world."

“…”

These are all imperial edicts issued to the whole world, and they all speak important things.

For example, the former Xinye County Magistrate Sima Bei was transferred to the prefect of Pengzhou Prefecture in the Gyeonggi area, but it only appeared in the post station communiqué.

Sima Bei was also a general. On the 16th day of the New Year, he led his subordinate officials, as well as more than 20 editors and reviews brought from the Hanlin Academy, and quietly went to Pengzhou Prefecture.

They would not enter the temporary government first, but would have to carefully investigate the overview of Pengzhou Prefecture before they would appear in front of everyone.

Before leaving, Liu Mingqi gave him a trick, asking him to start a drastic management, and summoned a thousand garrison troops from the Gyeonggi region to go together, so that some people could avoid being anxious.

There are no gentry and tyrants who dare to kill the fourth-rank magistrate, but those "bandits" and "robbers" can do it.

Anyway, you can just turn all the blame on those bad people who don’t know where they come from or where they go.

So Sima Bei needs protection around him.

As a result, after hearing Sima Bei's request and the reasons, Deputy Prime Minister Ge Songdao personally requested the emperor. In addition to a thousand garrison troops, he also sent him 300 additional leopard cavalry guards.

Around this Gyeonggi area, these three hundred leopard cavalry guards are the existence of all cattle, horses, snakes and gods.

The emperor was so kind to Sima Bei, so naturally because Sima Bei is now deeply in line with the public. Everyone hopes that he can spend 80 million taels of silver to solve the urgent needs of the court.

Now Sima Bei is the biggest God of Wealth in the world. Whoever dares to touch him will die!

At least Liu Mingqi still knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guard sent no less than a hundred people to protect and monitor him around him.

Of course, compared to the protection of Liu Mingqi who was about to go to the northwest grassland, Sima Bei's pediatrics are again.

Now it has been decided that there are two thousand Yulin Guards and one thousand Qianniu Guards.

This is the core strength to protect Liu Mingqi. Moreover, the Northwest Governor Xu Yunpeng has deployed 30,000 elite troops in two important border towns, Guide and Tongde, all of which are soldiers who fought fiercely with the Uighurs and Western Qiang troops last year.

Although there are only two thousand Yulin Guards, think about how many Yulin Guards lost last year?

Including the 5,000 reserve troops in the company, the Yulin Guards had a total of 11,000, and in the end, there were only less than 3,000 people left.

Although the army began to be replenished in autumn, the Yulin Guards who were given to Liu Mingqi were selected from the super elites who had fought for the rest of their lives.

The same is true for Qianniuwei, with only two thousand people in total, and now one thousand people are sent.

Tell me, can the emperor pay more attention to Liu Mingqi?

There are also friends who are familiar to Liu Mingqi.

Originally, it would be fine as long as Liu Mingjing was with him, but later the emperor was a little unthinkable and sent Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin, who should have actively trained Qianniu Guards and Yulin Guards, again.

So Liu Mingqi's group of guard forces can be compared with his time in Jiangnan and Jinzhou City, or even stronger.

Isn't this?

After the emperor decided, he immediately asked Liu Mingqi's disabled subordinates to take them to learn how to throw wooden grenades.

This includes in static defense and in horseback impact.

This is really practiced.

Five people were injured on the first day, and two others were killed on the next day.

Over half a month, more than thirty people have been killed or injured.

This made this group of elite Dakang Imperial Army soldiers who had only heard of the power of wooden grenades before, deeply understand its cruelty.

Practical combat is the easiest to achieve results.

According to the guards' report back, by the time they set off in late January, they will not be worse than the more than 300 guards who set out from the Gate of Hell in March.

The amount of wooden grenades and hell cocktails they carried were not comparable to those of the previous guards.

The large wooden grenade workshop in the imperial city has expanded several times, not to mention that it has not rested even during the Chinese New Year.

The wooden grenades in the Imperial City can produce about 10,000 pieces every day, and around 8,000 pieces can be produced in Hangzhou, Jiangnan.

But this number is not large.

Judging from the world's defensive situation, just talking about the defense line of Datong Great Wall in the north, hundreds of enemy platforms, forts, forts, and acropolis would require at least 30,000 to 50,000, and if you give them 100,000, it would not be much.

How many defensive cities are there like Dakang?

Hundreds of seats of all sizes!

So with this number, it would be great if you can equip every defensive city within one year.

It’s not that they are unwilling to produce more wooden grenades.

On the one hand, the consumption of raw materials is very large and has fallen into a certain bottleneck.

The second thing is that the quantity of various fine raw materials required is too large and it is troublesome to make, so it delays time.

Last but not least, it is very dangerous to make wooden grenades!

In October, the wooden grenade workshop in Jiangnan was blown up once, and all the workshops were blown away, and more than 60 skilled workers were killed, including several members of Liu Mingqi's youth group.

This is also thanks to Liu Mingqi asking them to do it in a yard instead of being in the same yard, otherwise they would be all taken over.

The capital city did not avoid it. Once the black gunpowder was ignited. Although it was not a wooden grenade that exploded directly, they also caused a series of explosions in the entire workshop.
