His annual salary was less than that of a viscount in Daliang.
He's been emperor for a few days now.
Then they changed to a viscount.
This was much better than the outcome for most members of the Zhao Song imperial family.
Zong Ze bowed to Zhao Zicheng.
He then sat down below Zhao Zicheng.
They were also very grateful for Zhao Yuan's arrangements.
Although they all returned to the Great Liang
They should sit according to the order of the main beam.
But today is the first day that Daliang has entered the city.
If he were sitting above Zhao Zicheng,
It wouldn't look good if it got out.
.....
Stepping out of the main hall,
Zhao Yuan's face darkened.
The servants in the palace were all women from Jiangnan.
Listening to the murmuring Wu dialect,
I couldn't help but think of Fang Baihua.
He led his troops south.
But the beautiful woman had already passed away.
The further south you go, the hotter it gets.
The flowers and trees in the Huzhou government office are still lush and green.
However, Zhao Yuan was not in the mood.
As I was strolling along,
But then he heard his personal guards reporting from behind.
"Baron Tong Guan requests an audience."
Zhao Yuan stopped in his tracks.
Turn around,
Tong Guan was waiting in the distance.
He nodded, signaling his personal guards to let him come over.
Tong Guan was already over sixty years old at this time.
But having led troops for many years,
He is in very good health.
Dark skin
Dozens of whiskers under his chin,
He looks just like a veteran of the battlefield.
They were definitely not like the eunuchs in the palace.
Upon arriving,
Tong Guan then bowed and said,
"Tong Guan paid his respects to the King of Liang."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "No need for formalities. What is it?"
Tong Guan said cautiously,
"There are currently three thousand soldiers in the city, who were my personal guards before."
"They are all elite troops of the Western Army,"
"If they were to retire and return to their fields like the other soldiers,"
"It's a bit of a pity."
"Therefore, I humbly request that King Liang continue to allow them to serve in the army."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I know that."
"Recruiting soldiers will begin in Zhejiang Road in a few days,"
"If they are willing to continue serving in the military,"
"You can apply."
Tong Guan originally intended for his personal guards to directly follow Prince Liang in achieving meritorious service.
Upon hearing what the King of Liang said,
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But he dared not say anything more, and could only say...
"Thank you for the King of Liang's grace."
Zhao Yuanchong and Tong Guan nodded.
Then he started walking aimlessly again.
Tong Guan's visit was not actually to vie for military power.
He is 67 years old this year.
He could be said to have had a distinguished life.
Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, and others who colluded with him to seize power have all been executed by the Liang dynasty.
He not only escaped with his life,
He also received a baronship.
He dared not ask for more.
He just couldn't let go of his three thousand personal guards.
These soldiers had followed him for many years.
Aside from the fighting,
I don't know anything else.
If one were to retire from military service and return to one's hometown,
They can only sit and eat their savings until they run out.
Became bandits
Then they were wiped out by the Liang army.
Therefore, I had no choice but to make this trip.
Although it only earned me the grace of being able to continue applying for jobs,
But it's not bad either.
Otherwise, those personal guards would all be older than the age range for conscription in Liang.
Those who are unable to participate in conscription.
The Daliang official gazette recently published the Daliang military system.
He served in the military for three years before being discharged.
Only those holding the rank of captain or higher could continue to serve in the army.
However, if retired soldiers are willing to go to the border region...
Each person will be given 150 mu of fertile land on the border.
It has fifty mu more than the people in the border area.
The areas that need to be addressed now are Ningxia Road and Qinghai Road.
Although these two routes are remote areas for most people
But for people from the Northwest, it's not far.
They returned to the Northwest but still couldn't get land.
You might as well go to Ningxia Road and Qinghai Road.
If you don't know how to do farm work, you can learn.
As long as there is land
There has never been a Han Chinese who starved to death.
Zhao Yuan wandered aimlessly for half a day.
I glanced up,
Seeing Shi Bao and Fang Jie looking at him from a distance,
It looks like they've come looking for him.
He waved them over.
The two men came over and exchanged greetings.
Then he looked embarrassed to speak.
Zhao Yuan had guessed some of it as well, and waved his hand,
"tell me the story."
Shi Bao and Fang Jie exchanged a glance.
Shi Bao gestured for Fang Jie to speak.
According to Fang Baihua's lineage, Fang Jie is Zhao Yuan's junior.
It's always more convenient to talk about it.
"The Southern Song Dynasty has fallen,"
"King Liang is about to lead his troops to wipe out Lü Shinang."
"Although he amassed 300,000 troops in Muzhou,"
"But it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot,"
"They will surely be swept away by the King of Liang with unstoppable momentum."
“Lu Shinang murdered his aunt; he deserves to die a thousand deaths.”
"However, there are still some brothers in the church who are unaware of the truth,"
"So my brother Shi Bao and I wanted to tell them the truth,"
"Let them not walk into their own death."
Chapter 1776 The Classic of Tea
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then you should proceed with caution."
"They can be soldiers of my Great Liang, or they can be ordinary citizens of my Great Liang,"
"However, the propagation of Manichaeism will be prohibited from now on,"
