After the talk was finished, it was already noon. The temple prepared vegetarian food and delivered it to the house. Because the empress dowager had to listen to the scriptures in the afternoon, she did not have a seat. Hainan Island is located in a remote area and no emperor has ever been there in all dynasties. Since the temple was built, it was the first time that the eldest daughter had been in the sedan chair. Not to mention that the saint would give them rewards, even if they were walking around, they would greatly increase their reputation and attract countless pilgrims and believers, and their status would greatly increase. Therefore, they must be serving with all their hearts and receiving diligently.

Zhao Bing saw that although the table was vegetarian, it was also extremely exquisite, which was ten times better than what he usually ate. Naturally, he would not be polite, but when he saw dozens of dishes on the table could not eat them, he chose more than a dozen dishes to serve them and sent them back to the palace of Fucheng for Yuan Miao to taste. Thinking about it, the old monk was pitiful, not only to accept his apprentice who fished for three days and two days, but he had not built a temple that he had always agreed to, and he had to stand guard every day. It was really pitiful, and he was a little sorry for his own sake.

He usually set an example and was frugal, but Zhao Bing was also greedy, but after taking a bite of each dish, he only left three dishes that he loved, and gave all the rest to the guards and eunuchs who accompanied him, otherwise it would be a waste. After a long time of hard work, he was hungry and cleaned the remaining dishes. After eating, he was tired and got up again, but because of his excitement, he couldn't sleep, which made him wonder if he had neurasthenia!

Zhao Bing seemed to have revealed his plans during this meeting, but in fact he dug a hole without hesitation. The American scholar Samuel Huntington, he remembered that in an advanced country, the army is the most advanced part, and in a backward country, the army is the most conservative part. This means that if a country wants to be more advanced, the army should be at the forefront and should lead to a certain extent.

After the US military has increasingly effectively applied the business model to military management, the US government and enterprises have in turn regarded soldiers as treasures. After retirement, senior US military generals are often hired by different companies to be chairman, honorary chairman, or to join government departments. Why? One is to use their connections and influence in the military to gain benefits. But on the other hand, they must use their effective management experience to strengthen the management of enterprises and governments.

This is not without enlightenment to Zhao Bing. In this way, he can use the cadres trained by the army to change from military positions to civil positions at the right time, thereby weakening the influence of scholars and gradually achieving the goal of balance between civil and military affairs. Similarly, he can also attract some scholars to the army, thereby strengthening the cultural literacy of the army and improving the combat effectiveness of the army. In this way, he will promote adjustments to the government, and the resistance will be much smaller at that time.

The most important thing is that this new military system seems to have fallen into the Ministry of War under the control of civil officials, but in fact, the Ministry of War has been separated from the jurisdiction of the Secretariat and directly under the leadership of the emperor, which has enabled Zhao Bing to control the power of military affairs and military orders, and still put the army under his absolute leadership. Therefore, the power of the prime minister was weakened rather than strengthened, at least it is more difficult for civil officials to intervene in military affairs. The court discussions that restricted him will be undermined in military affairs and become a simple senator and adviser, giving him greater freedom in dispatching the army.

Of course, Zhao Bing knew that he was actually laying mines for himself. At least the workload would increase sharply. At present, he not only had to plan the construction of a new army, but also further sort out the concept of military system reform, define their respective authority, adjust personnel appointments and removals, improve rules and regulations, formulate organizational plans, and other a lot of work should be done, in order to complete it as soon as possible, laying the foundation for improving the deployment capabilities and combat effectiveness of the army.

"Official family, take a break!" Su Lan said softly when she saw the little emperor lying down and tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Oh, I think too, but my head is so swollen that it's hard to fall asleep!" Zhao Bing sighed softly.

"The government has been going to bed late and getting up early for many days. I am too tired. I will rub it for the government!" Su Lan said.

"Okay, try it." The feeling of insomnia was the saddest, Zhao Bing nodded gently.

"Yes, the official family." Su Lan agreed to lean forward, sat on the end of the short couch, pinching his hands on the little emperor's head.

"Well..." Su Lan's hand was very cold, and it made him feel comfortable when he pressed on Zhao Bing's hot head. The unique body fragrance on the girl also made him feel very comfortable. His body and mind were both happy, making him hum.

"The moon shines on the nine provinces, and some families are happy and some families are sad. Several couples are in the same tent, and some are floating outside..." Su Lan looked down at the little emperor, and his hands were gently pressing on his head, with love in her eyes. She felt that this child was living too hard. Although she was the emperor, she was responsible for restoring the country. When children of the same age were playing freely, they had to sit at their desks every day to deal with military and national affairs, and did not dare to slack off, so that they were extremely sleepy but could not sleep. She hummed a song softly and hoped that His Majesty would sleep for a while.

"..." Zhao Bing was very familiar with the melody and lyrics of this song. He did not expect that this song would have such a long history, but being able to hear the familiar melody of his previous life still calmed down a lot, and he fell asleep in a trance.

"Official family..." Seeing that the emperor was already asleep, when Su Lan stopped his hand and was about to move away, the little emperor suddenly turned over, put his head on her legs, and put his hands on her waist. This surprised her. In panic, she exclaimed and wanted to get up to avoid it, but when she saw the little emperor's peaceful face, she gave up, gently stroked His Majesty's face and sighed secretly...

…………

It was already evening when he returned to the mansion. Zhao Bing sent the Empress Dowager back to Cining Palace before returning to the East Palace. Thinking that tomorrow was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was about to be New Year's Eve, he ordered that except for the rotating eunuchs, servants and guards, he ordered Zhuang Shilin to take out a sum of money from his private money to reward everyone. Of course, he also paid an extra holiday fee to each of the elderly in the General's Mansion, and several generals who went out to fight gave a big red envelope to show the great grace of the emperor.

I thought about my busy life for another year, and I was so tired that I still had endless things to do like a dog. I thought that Roman City was not built in one year, I was only nine years old, and I had time to spend with Kublai Khan. I still had to work with him, and I was not in the past two days. In addition, I was so tired that no one would give me a holiday, so I could only feel sorry for myself. So I ordered that unless the fire went to the room and the thief came to him, I would not bother him about other things and handed over to the rotating magistrate and the Military Affairs Office to handle it.

After sending everyone busy planning the new army home, Zhao Bing took a hot bath and went to bed after dinner, and first made up for the lack of sleep. The next day, she slept until dawn, but she still looked at the desk habitually and saw that there was nothing on it. Then she calmed down to pay tribute to the Queen Mother, and took a good meal from Cining Palace before returning to the East Palace. But when she was really idle, she felt empty and had nothing to do, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"Ni Liang, is it lively outside?" After wandering around the palace, Zhao Bing still felt bored and suddenly stopped and asked Ni Liang with his face raised.

"Of course it's lively. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Lights are everywhere on the street, and people are buying New Year's goods are everywhere!" Ni Liang said stupidly and could not describe how lively it was in the city after talking for a long time.

"Your Majesty must not leave the palace..." Wang De was much smarter than Ni Liang. As soon as he listened to his words, he thought of what the little emperor was going to do.

"Sigh yourself!" Zhao Bing raised his hand to cover Wang De's mouth and looked around, only Su Lan and Su Xin were on the side.

"Your Majesty..." Wang De did not dare to thrust the little emperor's hand, and hesitated in a hurry.

"Well, it will make you think about it!" Zhao Bing said with a stern look, turning to look at the other people and asking, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"You..." Wang De was very anxious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only wink and 'threaten' everyone.

"I will go wherever Your Majesty wants to go!" Ni Liang was not afraid of Wang De at all, and said indifferently as if he hadn't seen it.

"Where are you?" Zhao Bing looked at Su Lan and Su Xin and said.

"I...I want to go too!" Wanxin'er still defeated her fear, not to mention that his Majesty was the decision, Su Xin hesitated and said.

"Yeah!" Su Lan nodded vigorously.

"Okay, Wang De's guard, let's leave the palace!" Zhao Bing put down his hands and said.

"The officials, the young ones are going to go too!" Wang De was not at ease, and he immediately changed his mind if he couldn't stop him.

"That's just like that. I miss us back then..." Zhao Bing said, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Official family, then do we still have to go out secretly?" Wang De also smiled, remembering that he followed His Majesty to go out to search for treasures in Guangzhou, visit the market, and avoid the gentlemen and let them search the whole city. Although he was worried, he was very comfortable.

"Do you still have to go out secretly? Go find a carriage, let's take the car out, I'll go to change my clothes!" Zhao Bing waved his hand. He also wanted to go out through the door, but he was only a child in the palace. No matter how he put on makeup, it would be difficult to become an adult. He would be recognized when he went out, and then the empress dowager would know.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements now!" Wang De said with a wry smile. After a long time of work, he still secretly left the palace, but it was just a boat and a car.

The only cars that can enter and exit the palace every day were those that purchased daily necessities. Wang De arranged for vehicles to leave the palace under the pretext of His Majesty buying urgently needed items. A few of them pretended to be cats and sneaked out of the palace in the car. Zhao Bing made an appointment with everyone that he was the master, Wang De was the official, Ni Liang was naturally the bodyguard, and the two girls were maids, so everyone asked him to call him the Sixth Prince.

The chief supervisor drove the car himself, and his Majesty's token. There was a guard commander sitting on the shaft of the car. Who dared to check the guards guarding the palace ban? The group successfully left the palace and found a secluded place to park the car. Zhao Bing got off the car, but after walking a few steps, Zhao Bing discovered a serious problem - he did not bring money.

"Mr. Wang, have you brought the money?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile at Wang De with a smile.

"Young Master, I didn't bring it..." Wang De touched his sleeves, touched his arms again, and said depressedly.

"Where are you?" Zhao Bing turned his face and asked Ni Liang again. After becoming emperor, he had not touched money for a long time. Someone got the matter done when he moved his mouth.

"Young Master, I'm all my money in the camp!" Ni Liang lowered his head and said.

"How much money do you have?" Zhao Bing and he couldn't get angry either. It was normal for him to have food, housing and clothing in the army. He didn't bring any money, but he asked casually.

"I don't know, I put the salary in a box after I paid it, and I have never counted it!" Ni Liang shook his head and said.

"Huh..." Zhao Bing pointed him with his hand, and suddenly remembered something. This child is twenty years old this year, and he is still late in this era. "Ni Zhuangyuan has been dying for three years. I should tell you about marriage and find a wife to count the money for you!"

"Well, it's up to Your Majesty!" Ni Liang blushed and whispered, obviously a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let me tell me if I like a little lady!" Zhao Bing smiled and looked at Su Lan and Su Xin and sighed. The two of them probably had no hope, but they found that Su Xin's face turned red for no reason.

"Young Master, why don't I go back to the palace to get it?" Wang De stepped forward and walked.

"Forget it, I'm going to go back and forth, I don't know when it will be. At worst, we can only look at it and not buy it today!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile, but he was still a little unwilling to give up. He finally came out, but he didn't even have to buy snacks.

In desperation, several people surrounded Zhao Bing and walked towards the main street. The city was originally the government of Qiongzhou, the political and economic center of the entire island, and of course the most prosperous. After moving to Qiong, a large number of officials and garrisons rushed in. These people were all with a fixed monthly salary. In addition, their families formed a large number of consumer groups, which pushed Qiongzhou's business to a higher level.

Although it is approaching the New Year, Zhao Bing found that ancient and modern people had similar mentality in celebrating the New Year. If they didn’t eat New Year’s Eve dinner, they seemed to be a bit short of things forever. Therefore, there were not many shopping crowds, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were passing by. The merchants seized the last chance, shouted loudly to attract business, and enthusiastically pulled customers into the store.

The helpless thing is that several people are short of money and no one dares to speak up. Only the little emperor is thick-skinned and asks this and that, and there is also a good bargaining, but it is difficult to make a deal in the end. They wonder why His Majesty is so skillful in bargaining, but they don’t know that bargaining is a must-have skill for modern people, otherwise they will be a swear person who is ridiculed. What’s even more amazing is that he is very familiar with prices and can always kill merchants. But it’s a pity that they don’t have the money to buy it no matter how cheap they are.

"Is that the owner of the manor's sedan chair?" Zhao Bing suddenly found a four-carriage car moving slowly in the crowd. He pointed at Ni Liang and asked.

"Well, that's right, let's hide!" Ni Liang guarded Gong Jin very familiar with the sedan chairs of various court officials, and nodded.
