It was already early winter, but a winter rain fell in Tianjing City. The drizzling rain in the cold north wind made people feel a depressing haze. The thick clouds have not dissipated for several days. The rainwater poured on the ground, and after freezing at night, it condensed into ice. What is the slippery bluestone road in Tianjing City?

When she opened the window and looked out, the sky was still dark, and Han Baoying felt even more depressed. She worked in the women's hall these days. During the Tianjing Incident, many women became helpless. The death of many soldiers in the East Palace caused many mothers to lose their sons and wives to lose their husbands. So the women's hall in the city began to accept and take care of them.

After the Western King entered Tianjing, he began to implement the reform of Sufu Province. The Holy Custody will gradually stop distributing money and grain in a large pot style within a few months. In the end, the Holy Custody will be officially changed into a national treasury, just like Sufu Province. The civil and military officials, soldiers and soldiers in Tianjing have begun to receive salaries, food and wages according to their ranks, while the people no longer need to hand over all the food and money from production to the Holy Custody, those who farmed and paid grain and tax, and those who did business paid commercial taxes. In short, after you have done your work and paid taxes, the rest is your own.

The King of Western Restored the private ownership of Tianjing City. It turned out that the fields distributed near Tianjing City were still divided. The West Palace did not make any major changes on the land. It only re-distributed the land deeds and recognized the private ownership of the land, but the land distributed was strictly prohibited from being sold.

Many of the soldiers who died in the incident in the East Palace had no land. They were soldiers from the East Palace, and many of them lived on the money and food provided by the Holy Cushion. Now that the men who served in the army have died, the Holy Cushion will gradually stop distributing money and food. Since these soldiers were soldiers from the East Palace before, they could not provide support and support according to the order for soldiers in the West Palace to die. The West Palace only took out a sum of money from the Holy Cushion. A pension was distributed to tens of thousands of families with dead men at one time, but the money would still be used up.

So the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works and the Civil Affairs Department of the West Hall began to arrange a way out for these people. The elderly did some work within their ability under the arrangement of the old and young halls. The children were preparing to go to the school opened in Tianjing in the West Hall, while the women gathered at the Women's Hall.

These days, Han Baoying, Hu Jiumei and other female officials have been in the women's hall. They have not done anything else these days, they just register and record the women in the female officials, and at the same time, the female soldiers in the female camp must also register and record the women.

What made Han Baoying unhappy was that there were rumors that the Western King would disband the Women's Camp in Tianjin, and that there would no longer be any female soldiers in the camp to kill the enemy in the future. The women's camp soldiers would be diverted to the Logistics Department, Yuxuan Department, Zhengguan and other non-war offices. She also asked the Western King, and the Western King's answer was very simple. In the future, the Western Palace would not allow female soldiers to go to the battlefield unless all the men in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom died.

What a domineering and unreasonable man! Han Baoying became more and more unwilling to accept it as she kept pulling the bonsai beside the window with one hand, and soon the branches and leaves of the bonsai were pulled away.

"Fourth Miss, the King of the West will let you go." A West Palace guard came to pass the message. Han Baoying whispered a few hatefully. But he was still out of the house. What did this man want to do?

The Western King did not live in the Heavenly King's Mansion, but he still lived in the Western King's Mansion. The Heavenly King's Mansion is now only used as a place to discuss the government affairs. The Western King has not officially ascended the throne, so he still lived in the Western King's Mansion.

When he arrived at the study room of the Xiwang Mansion, the Xiwang was writing quickly. After hearing the news of the escort, he didn't raise his head and said, "Baoying, sit down first, and you will write it in two more sentences."

Han Baoying was stern and didn't hesitate. She sat aside. After Xiao Yungui finished writing, he handed it to Bo Shu next to him and said, "Left it to the Zuo Prime Minister immediately, let the Ministry of Works organize and implement it immediately. Only the location of the silk reel factory let the Zuo Prime Minister consider it again. Uh, you don't need to pass on this. I'll write it on it." Bo Shu accepted the official documents and turned around.

Xiao Yungui found a document from the pile of documents and walked up to Han Baoying and said, "This is the official document issued by the Ministry of War on the abolition of the Tianjing Women's Battalion troops. How to place the female soldiers after the abolition has been arranged. You can take it down and follow it. I will ask Hu Jiumei and the other female officials to come and help you later."

Han Baoying's pretty face turned cold. He stood up with a stern face and said angrily: "His Royal Highness, the soldiers of the female camp have also been fighting for the kingdom of heaven through life and death. Do you now say that you will be abolished? Have you ever read the petition submitted by our female camp? That's everyone's voice!"

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and frowned and said, "I've read it, you can read the official documents first."

Han Baoying opened the official document angrily and looked at it with a look at it. At the end, he looked at Xiao Yungui in surprise. Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "I can keep some of the female soldiers in the camp, but I must be voluntarily staying to be female soldiers, and I must also be able to read. The selected qualified female soldiers will be arranged to go to the Shanghai Martial Arts School to receive training again. After the training, they will accept the assessment standards of male soldiers. Only those who pass can become female soldiers and re-establish the female army of the Kingdom of Heaven."

Xiao Yungui smiled very sinisterly. He knew that many women in the female camp actually didn't want to be female soldiers all their lives. They would remove a large number of people when screening the first line, and then they would remove some people when they read. Then the training and assessment of the Shanghai martial arts lecture hall would remove some people. In the end, the remaining female soldiers were almost insufficient to form a unit. Where should they be used to form a female army?

Han Baoying didn't think so much, and finally smiled on her face. She walked forward happily and grabbed Xiao Yungui's hand and said, "Thank you, King Xi, I'm going now." After saying that, she realized that she had actually pulled the King Xi's big hand. Her pretty face turned red and she lowered her head and ran away hurriedly.

Xiao Yungui couldn't help laughing. Hong Yun'er, who had just entered the room, said strangely: "Why are you laughing? What's wrong with Baoying? Her face turned red like a monkey's butt." Then Hong Yun'er said oh, and said with some displeasure: "Have you teased the little girl again?"

Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said, "The conscience of heaven and earth is your husband who was teased." He sat back on the table and said, "I have been so busy lately. At that time, Dongwang and others wiped out industry and commerce. Many craftsmen's workshops have become public. Business is in decline. It is really difficult to restore Tianjin's economy."

Hong Yuner smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, as long as your preferential policies are implemented, the capital in Sufu Province will definitely flow here. Aren't foreigners also ready to move? In fact, it is not difficult to adjust the economy. As long as there are profits, there will be capital." She paused and said, "On the contrary, the reorganization of the army is not easy, especially the Dongdian soldiers in Jiangxi have hundreds of thousands, which is really too huge."

Xiao Yungui took out a document and said, "Yes, it's really a tactic of people. Everyone is called to join the army. Many soldiers are used as cannon fodder, which is a waste of manpower. The Ministry of War, Ministry of Works and Ministry of Revenue have jointly formulated a charter to streamline the Dongdian Army in Jiangxi. It is still the same rule, reorganize it on the spot and eliminate the old and weak. Then he will be brought back to Shanghai in batches for training. Some of them are reorganized into the township corps in Jiangxi to guard the place and the others go home to farm."

Hong Yuner sighed and said, "It costs money everywhere. The reform of the Holy Custody in Tianjin also costs a lot of money and grain. Fortunately, Jiangxi has not fully developed the Holy Custody system. It is still the same as the food, which is not a heavy burden."

Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "No, the civil affairs in Jiangxi are as complicated as the gentry and wealthy people are still there. They still pay grain, which is no different from those under the Qing Dynasty. However, after the war and population consumption in Jiangxi, the conflict between population and land was temporarily covered up. Moreover, Jiangxi's private capital is concentrated in the hands of the gentry, which is not conducive to the promotion of the Sufu model. Therefore, within the next year, Jiangxi will still have to carry out land redemption, cultivated land clearing, redistribution, rent reduction and interest reduction, etc., which will cost money. However, Jiangxi's wealth is rich, so the pressure will be less."

Hong Yuner nodded, looked at the pile of documents as high as a mountain, and read a book casually: "Are these all the stamps for persuading them?"

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Yes, civil officials from all over Jiangxi, Su Fu, Fujian, and Hubei have sent letters to send them. Even Shi Dakai's father-in-law Huang Yukun also sent letters to send them."

Hong Yuner smiled faintly and said, "It seems that our hype and public opinion orientation are still very successful. So what do you think?"

Xiao Yungui stood up and walked a few steps, "When I had not entered Tianjing, I always thought about ascending the throne and becoming emperor, but now I have the conditions. I can't help but think again, is this the best time to become emperor?"

Hong Yuner exclaimed, "How do you say this?"

Xiao Yungui took out a piece of intelligence and handed it over and said, "You have read the news that the little emperor Tongzhi ascended the throne."

Hong Yuner nodded and did not receive the information, "You forgot that I sent this information to you, of course I have read it."

Xiao Yungui said slowly: "It's okay for me to be emperor now, but what does it mean to be emperor? There is no two days and no two people. This means that after I become emperor, I must launch a Northern Expedition to attack Tongzhi, the pseudo-emperor."

Hong Yuner already knew his thoughts and said, "The Hunan Army in Hunan has not solved it now. The Northern Expedition is very unrealistic. Moreover, he was called emperor as soon as he entered Tianjing. Are you afraid that the foundation will be unstable?"

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Yes, determine the nine southern provinces and then the northern expedition. This is the established strategy. I plan to completely combat the Hunan army in one year. Fujian has been almost integrated and then can go to Guangdong. At this time, Britain, France and the Qing Dynasty declared war. They were happy to see that we occupied Guangdong. After combating the Hunan army, we can occupy Hunan, and then the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. In this way, the nine southern provinces will certainly be able to launch a large-scale northern expedition and determine the Central Plains in one battle. By that time, I believe that my foundation will be solid, and it will be a natural thing to be called emperor again. In short, I think it is too hasty to be called emperor now, and the disadvantages will be more beneficial."

Hong Yuner nodded, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Have you discussed with the Zuo Prime Minister?"

Xiao Yungui nodded slightly and said, "The left prime minister among all civil and military officials did not persuade him to advance. He only said that now, the Western King is the only one in the heavenly kingdom. If he does not have the name of the emperor, why should he be forced to correct his reputation? If his foundation is unstable, he will only be criticized for his forced proclaiming emperor."

Hong Yuner nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since that's the case, then we won't be the emperor for the time being."

Xiao Yungui smiled and took her into his arms and asked in a low voice: "What? Is it a little disappointed if I can't become the queen?"

Hong Yun'er spat at him and said, "I think it's Emperor Xiao, you're disappointed that you can't open the harem."

Xiao Yungui laughed in silence, "Someone is jealous." Hong Yun'er broke away angrily and said, "Be serious, it's office hours, it's not good to see Boshu in." Xiao Yungui laughed embarrassedly and asked, "By the way, what's wrong with you coming."

"You guessed it right. Hong Renfa and Hong Tianguifu took Hong Renxuan to Hong Renxuan. The uncle and nephew are really capable and can actually go to Hong Kong." Hong Yuner took out Tong Qiangsheng's handwritten letter and said: "Tong Qiangsheng wrote a letter to ask what to do."

Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment and said, "Take the secret back to Shanghai, and even Hong Renxuan back together. I will meet them later when I return to Shanghai. As long as Hong Tianguifu does not appear, there will be no threat. It doesn't matter whether it is killed or not. Hong Renxuan is also a talent, so I have to meet him. If Hong Renxuan can do things under my account, it can eliminate the great doubts of the old subordinates of the Heavenly King."

Hong Yuner responded, and at this time, a guard outside the house shouted happily: "It's clear." Hong Yuner pushed the window and looked out. Sure enough, the sky was clear, and the warm sun shone down, which made people feel refreshed.

"Ah, it's finally sunny. These days are always cloudy and I'm in a bad mood." Hong Yuner said to herself, then looked back at Xiao Yungui and asked, "Is this a good omen? We will be able to conquer the world one day!"

Xiao Yungui put down the red pen in his hand and smiled: "It must be possible. Our dedication of Tianjing is the first step to dedication of the world..."
