Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 873
In the evening, after Mu Jing rushed back to Minghou Mansion from the Military Industry Department outside the city, he immediately found Hu Zhao and Liu Jin, and carefully arranged the matter.

"Blacksmiths and craftsmen, we want to create a class, which is judged by certain abilities and contributions. This class title will be certified by our Minghou Mansion. In addition, if we reach a certain level, we will be matched with the rank and salary of Minghou Mansion!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice to the two of them.

Rank salary actually represents an official rank.

This seems a bit excessive.

But Mujing wants to achieve it in one step, and progress can only be made if there is pursuit. No matter which world it is, there are very few people who are willing to dedicate themselves to art. Many people regard it as a skill to support their families.

Only by assigning these craftsmen and blacksmiths, like officials, not only a rank, but also a rank salary, so that they can enjoy the status of officials.

"A salary?" Hu Zhao's eyes widened, "Will this cause opposition from the scholars?"

"Somewhat!"

Mu Jing nodded, this is an era of scholars, these scholars have a sense of superiority, once this sense of superiority is broken, it will inevitably cause some people's dissatisfaction, but Mu Jing doesn't care, he analyzed: " Originally, I didn’t want to implement it so early, it’s best to do everything step by step, but now Cai Yong is tied up by the education, and the gentry in Yizhou are also caught by the rebellion in Guanghan Shu County , At this time, I just took advantage of the situation and settled the matter with a hammer, and then the whole thing is done, and no one has anything to say!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "And we have to do more than just this. The status of artisans should be improved, and the status of doctors should also be improved. Even farmers and craftsmen have to be promoted. Either don't do it, or step up In place!"

"Is this a big move?"

Hu Zhao gasped.

"Is this necessary?" Liu Jin somewhat couldn't understand Mujing's intentions. After all, he is also a scholar, reading sage books. For him, craftsmen, doctors, businessmen, etc. are powerful, but they are nothing compared to him. student.

"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "We may need the political wisdom of scholars if we want to keep the country, but if we want to develop the future, make the world a better place, and make life more consistent, we finally have to rely on these people! "

People in this era are backward. There is no doubt about it. Mu Jing wants to move from backwardness to the future. force.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are indispensable.

Regardless of whether it is agriculture, industry, business, or Mujing, they are all considering improving their status.

In life, the pursuit of fame and fortune is instinctive.

Scholars can enjoy a different status, so countless people are longing for the world of scholars. If these craftsmen, farmers, and businessmen can feel that they have the same status as scholars, there will be countless people without Mujing. Longing for it.

............................................................

What Mu Jing wanted to do was not a simple thing, nor could it be accomplished overnight. At this moment, the letter of alliance sent back from Jingzhou had already been sent back, and it was Yi Ji who sent it back in person.

It took Yiji a full ten days to return by boat along the river, but the boat never stopped, and he kept on going.

Originally, he could just ask someone to send the letter of alliance back, but he thought that he should come back and explain his attitude towards Jingzhou to Mu Jing himself.

"Uncle Ji, you have done a good job, and you should take the lead in this matter!"

Mu Jing carefully looked at the alliance letter. On the alliance letter was the great seal of Yizhou State Shepherd's Mansion and the seal of Minghou Mansion. Whether it was State Shepherd's Mansion or Minghou Mansion, they were all legitimate. It is an announcement to the world that it has been stamped with the seal of Jingzhou State Shepherd's Mansion.

"Kong Ming, arrange immediately to print thousands of copies of this book of alliance, and then paste it in all the cities of Yizhou and Jingzhou, so that this matter will make a lot of noise and let the world know!"

Mu Jing instructed.

To build momentum is to tell the world that Yizhou and Jingzhou have formed an alliance, and even if Yizhou is empty at that time, as long as he dares to come to Jingzhou, everyone will be outraged.

"promise!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

"In addition, give Beiwutang an order to order Jingping's First Army, Violent Bear Army, and Jingping Navy to withdraw immediately!"

"Yes!"

"My lord, if the Violent Bear Army is withdrawn, then Xiangyang County doesn't need to be guarded!"

"We must defend, but we don't necessarily need the Violent Bear Army!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "We signed a covenant with Jingzhou, but we have no covenant with Nanyang. Once I withdraw troops, Nanyang will send troops. It's not a day or two for them to plot Jingzhou!"

"What should I do?"

"Okay!" Mu Jing said: "Reorganize a Xiangyang battalion!"

"Who is the main general?"

"How about Lei Bo!"

"It seems that the lord has already thought about it!"

"Hehehe!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "I have been planning for this day for a long time. Once the main force of the Mu army marches south, the internal defense will naturally require troops. Lei Bo's rebelliousness is his shortcoming. It is also his benefit, as for whether I can restrain him, I am not worried about it!"

"My lord, this Liu Jingzhou is a little reluctant to face the covenant!"

Yiji said suddenly.

"It doesn't matter!" Mu Jing smiled lightly: "Now I put the knife directly on his neck and let him sign the alliance. If there is no resentment in his heart, it is impossible, so I made a big deal out of it." !"

"He has resentment in his heart, and he must have plans to tear up the covenant!"

Yi Ji said: "They may not attack Yizhou, but once we withdraw our troops from Xiangyang, it is unknown whether they will give up the opportunity to attack Xiangyang for the sake of this name. We can create a bandit to separatize Xiangyang, They are deeply entrenched in Xiangyang, so can't they create an autonomous Xiangyang?"

"Not for the time being!" Mu Jing shook his head: "As long as he signs this agreement, he will not dare to send troops to Yizhou, nor to the Xiangyang Army unless he is famous as a soldier. Teacher, if it were someone else, I would still be afraid of it, but in Jingzhou, the academic atmosphere is so strong, without us taking action, someone has already stepped forward to stop him. It's like digging half of his foundation in Xiangyang, and he won't be able to overcome the storm!"

"Even so, this agreement can only guarantee the peace between us and Jingzhou for two years at most!" Hu Zhao said.

"Two years is enough!"

Mu Jing said: "In this way, I will be able to fight in the south with peace of mind. If I can't unify the north and south of Yizhou in two years, then I can lose my reputation as a good warrior of the Ming Dynasty!"

The Marquis of Ming Dynasty was good at fighting, which is known all over the world.

The strength of the Mu army has long been revealed in the first battle of the Kanto. These years, after countless battles, they are invincible. In the eyes of the princes of the world, they all have the impression of a strong army.

"Jibo, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard in the future!" Mu Jing patted Yiji on the shoulder: "You just came back from Jingzhou, so you should be allowed to rest for a while, but now I'm about to send troops, and the relationship outside is still not clear." Be reasonable!"

"Please tell me, my lord, this subordinate is willing to smash his body and bones for the Minghou Mansion, and he will not hesitate to do so after death!"

"It's not that serious!"

Mu Jingdao: "I'll give you half a month. You will focus on the South Study Room to set up the Honglu Division and the Honglu Official Office. After half a month, you will represent me and visit the princes of the world, visit the princes of all walks of life, and declare It's a matter of alliance!"

"promise!"

Yiji suddenly felt a heavy trust.

"My lord is afraid of changes in Chang'an, so I want to make friends from afar and attack from a distance!" Hu Zhao said softly.

"That's right, I'm going to make friends with each other right now!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "The main thing is to buy time for our Southern Expedition. I don't want the Northern Frontier Campaign to start before the Southern Expedition is over. Dong Zhuo, I'm still worried!"
