Such rumors spread to the front line, not to mention complaints, each commander quickly dispersed the army in accordance with the imperial edict, formed a garrison system, and waited for the imperial court to send officials to take over.

At the same time, when Xingqing Mansion received the reply from the imperial court agreeing to go to Beijing to accept the reward, the imperial court had already fully staffed the entire Xixia area with officials.

Those who went west together were not only the officials who took over the prefectures and counties of the former Xixia jurisdiction, but also the government offices such as Gongfangcheng, Shiyi Temple, and Yantiesi.

Workshop City is mainly about exploration.After Zhao Xi's southern expedition to develop the manganese mine and the Dali mining city, plus the Hedong carboniferous mine, now as long as the war is over, the imperial court has become accustomed to this kind of operation.

No one talks about the wilderness anymore.

What's more, in the former Xixia jurisdiction, Qingyan has always been a pillar industry, and it is also coveted by the court.

At the same time, the prosperous commerce and trade in the Hexi Corridor of the previous dynasty was also the purpose of the Guochao's conquest of Xixia and opening up barter with Xifan.

Therefore, Shiyi Temple and Yantie Division also sent a large number of officials to the west this time.

In fact, it was not the imperial court that traveled the most to the west, but merchants, or property owners in the prefectures and counties of the state.

From Shazhou to Suzhou, then to Yan Junsi in Heishui Town, Heishan Weifu Military Division, and finally to Xingqing, Xiping, and Yinxia, ​​the Song Dynasty accepted hundreds of thousands of soldiers in this battle.

For the industrial owners of the dynasty, this surrender is the real war dividend.

For a while, the busy western track, which had been slightly relieved by the armistice, became busy again.

"The imperial court still needs to pay attention to the arrangement of the surrendered soldiers. The surrendered soldiers are also soldiers, and the merchants are merchants after all. I am worried that the merchants' excessive pursuit of interests will arouse the rebellion of the surrendered soldiers."

"The war has just ended, and the party members are rebellious. Although there are garrisons from the imperial court, it is better to avoid chaos if it can be avoided."

Zhao Xi always felt that the disintegration of the army was premature.Although the party members have been disarmed, they are still in the territory of the party members after all, and they are still in a situation where the party members gather together.

"The officials are overthinking. According to reports from the front, the merchants offered very favorable conditions due to the shortage of hired workers."

"Even local state capitals and counties, for the development of local industries, even asked the imperial court to allow local state capitals to release household registration and farming, so that they can recruit more soldiers..."

Zhao Xi knew that the so-called superiority that Fu Bi said was impossible to be like Da Song's employees.

Even so, Zhao Xi was a little surprised that Guochao's state capital actually had a budding idea of ​​developing industries.

"Officials, what's more, in this battle, the army of the country completely destroyed the confidence of the party members. The so-called rebellion and bravery are based on victory."

"Absolute military superiority, a war without any suspense, and the conditions that the merchants released are comparable to the income of the party's nobles. The party's troops have fallen."

Chapter 745

When merchants can realize that war has dividends, it means that the entire dynasty begins to have ambitions.

Zhao Xi is happy to hear about the situation of a large number of merchants in the country moving westward.

Merchants have never been pure merchants, especially Guochao.

Every merchant is a representative of the local gentry, a spokesman for the scholar-bureaucrat class, and a storehouse of money and grain for the so-called aristocratic families.

The cognition of merchants means the cognition of squires, which means the cognition of courtiers...~This is Zhao Xi's purpose.

Nothing can influence people's tendencies more than interests.

In the same way, the great benefits of expanding the territory can make the scholar-bureaucrats and even the courtiers realize the irreplaceable role of strong armaments, and further change the entire imperial court's understanding of armaments, troops, and generals.

Even if merchants have a great demand for rail transportation, they must first meet the imperial court's expenses.

This time, the delivery volume of the imperial court was also quite large.

The first is the return of the meritorious generals to Beijing, the second is the entry of party aristocrats to Beijing, and then there is the dispatch of the army... the new army in Hebei Province, the soldiers stationed in the state capitals and counties, and the garrison troops in Bianliang , all need to be more equipped with the army in this battle.

This is not only a matter of the cabinet and courtiers wanting to split up various armies, but Zhao Xi also requires strict implementation of the dispatch of garrison troops in various places.

Perhaps, in the bottom of Zhao Xi's heart, he is also wary of the army formed by the battle.

This is hard to avoid.Zhao Xi could not care about the general's possible disobedience, and could trust the loyalty of the soldiers, but he knew that the military's mountainous awareness was inevitable.

Only regular dispersion and disruption is the most effective way.

As long as any army belongs to the same formation for a long time, it will naturally have a sense of teamwork, and it will also form hilltopism.

For example, this time, the battles experienced by each army are different, the contributions made are different, the number of enemies wiped out, the defense line conquered, etc. are all different. doctrine concept.

"Officials, the Northwest has already set off. In half a month, we will almost be able to accept the surrender in Bianliang. The preparations for the surrender ceremony are estimated to be completed within one month."

"Officials, this is a battle to destroy the country. The Ministry of Rites believes that the ceremony should be held with the highest etiquette, that is, it should be announced to the world, to the world, and to pay homage to the Taimiao..."

Shouldn't this be specially requested?Zhao Xi felt that Fu Bi's behavior was very strange.This is what should be done, and Zhao Xien approved it and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to lead.

With doubts, Zhao Xi waited for Fu Bi's next words.

"Officials, the Ministry of Rites thinks that such a grand ceremony should involve the crown prince... The old ministers and the cabinet also think so!"

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he stopped talking and didn't even lift his head.

The determination of the successor of the Datong should not have involved too much participation by the ministers.What's more, the official family is an upright man, but the prince is already an adult, and too many ministers participated, so it is inevitable that the official family will be suspicious.

The reason why Fu Bi dared to make such a suggestion, including the cabinet ministers, was that their positions should not have much overlap with the prince.

In fact, it is also because of this grand ceremony of proclaiming to the world that the Taimiao should be attended by the prince.

"Prince..."

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is now an official from the Chengdu government. Even if he is a minister, if he is promoted by the government, he can enter Beijing as an official."

"Officials, in terms of experience, the prince has been in power for many years, and the officials' evaluations are all top-notch. The veteran thinks that it is time for the prince to get involved with the government."

Seeing that the officials were not unhappy, Fu Bi simply explained what was in his heart.

Fu Bi very much agrees with the official's practice of letting the prince go out of the palace to experience, at least there will be no emperor who is ignorant of the suffering of the people, and the king will not eat minced meat.

Similarly, for future kings, they should not stay in the field for a long time, so as to avoid losing the overall thinking of the king in terms of structure.

"Already a pusher?"

This Zhao Xi really doesn't know.The prince's family letters are mostly about filial piety and fulfilling his son's wishes, but he rarely mentions the change of duties to Zhao Xi.Even if there is, it is an analysis of the local implementation of certain national and DPRK policies.

For the prince, Zhao Xi was quite pleased.However, he only learned about it from family letters, and did not pay attention to the prince from the perspective of courtiers.

Of course, for the protection of the prince's safety, whether it is the Imperial City Secretary or the guards, it is no worse than Zhao Xi's own protection power when traveling.

Every prince goes out of the palace to practice. In terms of protection, the Imperial City Secretary is very strict.

"Then call the prince back to court! Speaking of which, as a father, I really didn't pay much attention to the prince..."

Fu Bi didn't see any unhappiness in the official's expression, on the contrary, there was a feeling of licking the calf...I and the cabinet members still think too much.
