Hello Chang’an

Since last year, craftsmen from all walks of life who gathered in Jiangdu began to draw and build this ship. More than two hundred people participated in the shipbuilding, and they worked day and night to build it. It has breakthrough shipbuilding technology and its load capacity has also been greatly increased.

What is even more significant is that it will be the first ocean-going ship to represent Jiangdu, Shishi Shipping Division, Huainan Road, and even Dasheng State to re-explore overseas routes.

Such a large ship carrying many meanings deserves a name.

Chang Sui Ning asked everyone, firstly because her naming skills were not stable, and secondly, the significance of this ship was related to the Municipal Shipping Department and the entire Huainan Road. Letting them participate would make it easier to enhance the collective sense of honor than her. Speaking directly to make a decision is more conducive to people's cohesion.

As expected, everyone started talking enthusiastically.

Unlike those New Deals that can foresee a lot of resistance and trouble, the existence of the Municipal Shipping Department is a foreseeable benefit that almost no one can refuse.

Comparing the two, some people can't help but think deeply - if they can't even cooperate in the implementation of the New Deal, how can they expect Chang Sui Ning to let them get a share of the market share by borrowing money from the shipping company?

She has full control over the Jiangdu City Shipping Department. Anyone who goes out to trade must obtain her approval. The ships are inspected by her, the traffic orders are issued by her, and the routes are controlled by her... Anyone who wants to get involved can't get around it. She went.

After thinking about it, many people accepted the fact in their hearts. Chang Sui Ning is now the head of the family who controls all distribution on Huainan Road, and they are destined to not be able to just choose meat and not follow her wishes to do some housework. …This is the most basic rule of human nature. How to abide by it, everyone should have a balance in their hearts.

The governors of Luzhou and Shouzhou, who had the evidence of false accounts being held by Chang Suining, finally changed their attitudes after repeated weighing.

Regarding the ship number, they all began to brainstorm ideas and were very active.

Naming ships is rare nowadays, but it is not without precedent, and the most important thing among those precedents is nothing more than the word auspiciousness. When going out on a boat, good intentions are all that matters.

Seeing the collapse of those who tried to compete with the New Deal, the governor of Shuzhou no longer remained neutral and stroking his beard, then suggested: "How about prosperity...?"

"Or, Chengxiang?"

"Anji, you can also..."

Shao Shantong didn't show much enthusiasm this time. First of all, he was not good at naming names, and all he thought about was rebellion. If he were asked to take it, he would have loved to have the four characters "Rise up the Army at a Selected Day" carved on it.

In contrast, the governor of Qizhou was so active that he was anxious - he was poor and would need to rely more on regular envoys in the future!

Didn't it just happen that Changjie envoy spoke and in a few words provided him with the funds needed to recruit soldiers?

He was really blinded by the lard before, and instead of hugging his real thigh, he was flapping around with a bunch of scheming people!

Stop telling him that women are not women. Is she just a little girl? She has more than 100,000 soldiers in her hands, runs four major workshops, runs a college, controls the shipping department, recruits inexhaustible talents, and even controls the hearts and minds of the people... In this situation, what is the point of talking about a woman's identity? , that’s really stupid.

Isn’t it just the New Deal, isn’t it just trouble? He is not even afraid of poverty, why is he afraid of these things?

But he was deceived by those traitors before, and those questioning words at first might have offended the Changjie envoy...

The governor of Qizhou felt that he urgently needed to change his image in front of the new owner. He must not lag behind others in naming the ships now!

Listening to the ship numbers that everyone said one after another, the governor of Qizhou felt that he still had hope - these ship numbers were auspicious, but they were not enough to stand out...

In his view, the auspicious meaning is only the basis, not the standard. This alone cannot demonstrate a subordinate's respect and loyalty to the new master...

The governor of Qizhou bit his pen anxiously in his heart.

When he was about to bite off the piece, a flash of inspiration finally came to his mind, but at this moment, he heard a very young voice saying: "How about calling it... Changning?"

The governor of Qizhou shook his head subconsciously in his heart. It was still not enough, too ordinary... wrong, wait? What is the full name of Lord Jieduzhi?

The governor of Qizhou suddenly reacted and turned to look at the young man who spoke, only to see it was Yun Hui, the governor of Hezhou.

Changning…

It has an auspicious meaning, but at the same time, it also flatters Shangfeng... no, it is to express admiration and remember Shangfeng's achievements - isn't this the effect he wants?

I have a close relationship with the governor and the envoy, and the relationship is close enough... Damn it, why do opportunities always go to people who don't need them?

The governor of Qizhou only regretted that he was a step too late.

But he couldn't take another step too late. While someone was still reacting, he hurriedly echoed: "Prefect Yun's proposal is really a good thing and wonderful!"

Shen Wenshuang, the governor of Chuzhou, also nodded in approval.

Chang Sui Ning, who was at the head, showed a vague hesitation, as if he felt it was inappropriate.

The governor of Qizhou knew that the opportunity had come, and quickly added: "This ship was built under the supervision of the envoy, the Japanese on the sea were pacified by the lord, and the city shipping department was opened by the lord... It is really appropriate for this ship to be named Changning." But that’s it!”

Everyone around him reacted and spoke in agreement.

"It is said that after the sea opened, fishermen often hung portraits of Lord Commanders on their boats to ward off dangerous dangers at sea... In the same way, if this boat can borrow the word "Master", it will definitely be able to calm everyone's minds when sailing on the sea in the future. ”

Shao Shantong followed: "The official thinks so too!"

It should be noted that a truly clever rebellion cannot just kill with a sword, but should penetrate all aspects of prestige and steal people's hearts and reputation silently, so that in the future, it can be responded to by a hundred people... Whatever is beneficial to the rebellion, Shao Shantong All hands in favor!

Seeing that the ten subordinates all expressed their approval, Chang Sui Ning was persuaded and nodded: "Okay, according to your opinions, the ship will be named Changning."

The governor of Qizhou: "Your Excellency is wise!"

Wang Yue smiled and stepped forward to spread the paper for his lord.

Yao Ran hesitated to speak, but a voice came out in his head - What should I do if I violate taboos in the future?

However, the three characters in an adult's name are all extremely common. Single characters may not be taboo, as long as two characters do not collide in a row. For the word Changning, only the first and third characters are taken, and the first character still has the same pronunciation... I guess it shouldn't be a problem.

Yao Ran considered it carefully and seriously. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but feel that he had committed the old habit of being bold and audacious again... Why was her mind always thinking about such shocking things.

Ah Che got the word "Chang Ning" written by Chang Sui Ning himself, so he resigned and hurried to report the news.

In the hall, some officials took advantage of the situation and inquired about the issuance of the traffic order from the Municipal Shipping Department.

Chang Sui Ning said with a smile: "There is no rush in this matter, all regulations are still being perfected and put into trial implementation."

How can everyone not understand that the so-called "perfect trial" naturally means "trial" by Jiangdu. Jiangdu should be put first, which means that it depends on their subsequent performance. But then, Chang Suining mentioned the matter of trade between states. This matter did not need to wait, but should be implemented as soon as possible.

Everyone is very enthusiastic about this. Although repairing business roads requires money, the rewards are immediate. People are always more enthusiastic about things that can see positive feedback in a short period of time. The atmosphere in the hall was much more positive and harmonious than when the new policies were first discussed.

Shen Wenshuang saw it in his eyes and felt that the Jiedushi Lord above him knew the importance of the order of proceedings -

If we talk about the "sweet" first and then the "bitter", the "bitter" part will only make people want to pick and choose and avoid it. And if we turn it upside down and talk about "bitter" first and then "sweet", it will invisibly endow the two with a causal cognitive relationship of "bitterness first, then sweetness later".

Although it may seem like a small detail, there are ways to manipulate people's hearts.

Shen Wenshuang sighed in his heart - killing the governors of two states is certainly scary, but when it comes to killing people, as long as they have soldiers and knives in their hands, anyone can kill him. However, the other party gathered the governors of ten states here, faced with different people's hearts, and used hard and soft tactics to make them obey orders. And it was done in such a short period of time, which was definitely not something ordinary people could do. What was revealed in this was The character and method of controlling people are far more frightening than killing people with a knife.

It can also be seen that the reason why this little girl was able to sit on the position of Jiedushi of Huainan Road in just two years was definitely not luck.

Shen Wenshuang wanted to wipe his sweat again. Today's young people are amazing.

What was discussed today were all general regulations. In Chang Sui Ning’s final words: “There is nothing to do today, the main thing is to get acquainted with you all.”

Most of the officials were sweating in their hearts. This familiar method was so familiar that it even gave them the feeling of being choked by fate.

Chang Sui Ning asked them to stay in Jiangdu for five days in order to discuss everything in detail.

After everyone left, they couldn't help but review the total in private. The more they thought about everything today, the more profound they became. Every time they thought about it, the cold sweat on their backs grew.

Some people are also thinking about the current new system in Jiangdu's army. One of them also involves subtle changes in the land system -

Chang Suining had people build several military buildings outside Jiangdu city and turned them into houses, which could accommodate nearly 100,000 soldiers. They also divided and reclaimed large areas of land around them, allowing half of the soldiers in the Jiangdu army to farm the land and farm during their leisure time. practice.

In this regard, Chang Suining said that it was to increase military pay, make the military self-sufficient, not burden the court, and quickly increase food production.

This system overlaps with the Fubing system during the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty. However, since decades ago, the disadvantages of the Fubing system have gradually become extinct in name only. Today, Chang Sui Ning has only made slight changes, rather than establishing a brand new system. , you can avoid a lot of criticism, and just like Shen Wenshuang felt when she heard it, she is always good at pulling the rope as tight as possible within the elastic range.

But many people know clearly that the impact of this move is not just self-sufficiency. They know that there is a new rule in the Jiangdu army. Those who are above the rank of captain can bring their families to Jiangdu, join the military households, and live in military quarters. Land will be allocated according to population, and all corvées will be exempted.

This has great appeal to soldiers in the army, especially during war years.

There are more than one similar regulations. Those who have no job but have merit, or soldiers who have outstanding performance, have corresponding preferential treatment policies.

In this world where human life is at stake, this will undoubtedly maximize the cohesion of the army and the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

The governor of Chuzhou sighed: "If this happens, more people will be willing to join her Jiangdu army..."

Of course, if they follow this system, it will be very effective, but the number of troops in their states has a quota, and Chang Sui Ning cannot let them grow too large. This can be seen from the fact that she ordered them to deploy two thousand troops to Jiangdu every month for rotation.

Mentioning this, the governor of Luzhou suddenly murmured: "The troops we mobilized, after training, will they help her farm in the military fields..."

"..." Shouzhou Governor glanced at him, is this important?

The governor of Luzhou, who was good at making false accounts and settling accounts, felt more and more at a disadvantage. There were 2,000 people in each state, and the twelve states combined together had more than 20,000 unpaid labor.

The governor of Luzhou sighed and said a thousand words into one sentence: "She really knows how to live."

The governor of Shouzhou also sighed: "Now, her heads are pressed to the ground by her, why are you talking about this..."

Chang Suining also admitted that in forcing everyone to implement the New Deal today, he did have the intimidation style of "a cow that doesn't drink water and is forced to have its head pressed".

But the world is not good. Only with a stick can filial sons be born quickly.

Moreover, her water is sweet, and she believes that one day, they will "understand" her good intentions as the head of the family.

Chang Suining walked briskly towards the inner courtyard to find Lao Chang and A Dian. She wanted to ask Lao Chang how the situation was at Yumen Pass.

…

On the other side, Ah Che hurried back to the beach where the new ship was docked before it got dark.

It was already high tide at dusk, but hundreds of people were still busy here, including soldiers responsible for guarding, fishermen who came to see the new boats, craftsmen in the shipyard, and Shen Sanmao.

"Manager Shen!"

Seeing Ah Che running towards him holding a piece of paper, Shen Sanmao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "But did the lady give you the ship's number?"

Ah Che was panting, unfolding the rolled-up paper with both hands, and said: "Changning, Changning!"

"Okay!" Shen Sanmao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the craftsmen to come forward.

"Then just trace the words. After tracing them, I'll carve and paint them later!" A craftsman suggested: "Guard Shen, you can do the writing!"

Shen Sanmao waved his hands repeatedly: "My words are not allowed to appear on the stage! I'm afraid these two words will be insulted!"

He said, smiling and looking at the woman on the big ship who was still leading people to inspect the side of the ship, and said: "Let Mrs. Qian write it. Her handwriting is very beautiful, just like her father, Mr. Qian."

Several craftsmen were stunned for a moment, but they did not dare to refute Shen Sanmao's words.

Soon someone called Luo Xi over and informed him of the matter.

Luo Xi, who was so busy that he was sweating, was surprised and excited. He rubbed his hand vigorously on the edge of his clothes before solemnly taking the big pen with both hands. (End of chapter)
