Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 696 Award Ceremony (Third Change)
During the lunch break, the generals were taken to a banquet. Yuan Xi took Tian Feng, Li Ru, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, etc. back to the meeting hall of Huagai Palace to rest for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's really hard work. It will be much easier in the afternoon." Tian Feng smiled.

Yuan Xi took the cleaning cloth from the side, and after wiping it for a while, he said with a smile: "It's okay, with my body, it's okay for thousands of people to come, let's all sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty" After everyone saluted, they sat on the left and right sides.

After Yuan Xi took his seat at the main seat, he picked up a memorial book from the side and said, "At this time, the General Staff just submitted various suggestions on future Daxi's army building and division layout. You must have read all of them. The army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and class seven levels are proposed by me, and the others are all Gongjin's opinions. Let's take this time to talk about it! What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that Gongjin's arrangement is very good. My Daxi's territory is too vast at present. The previous layout is definitely not good. Now, there is some confusion below. The reason for the confusion is that the command system has already appeared. Therefore, the establishment of the ten major military regions mentioned by Gong Jin is imperative," Tian Feng agreed.

Yuan Xi glanced at Zhuge Liang, smiled and said, "Kong Ming, I heard that you have some opinions on this proposal."

Zhuge Liang immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I fully agree with the establishment of the ten major military regions, but Gongjin's appetite is a bit big!"

"Haha, Kong Ming, you can't completely blame Gongjin. This proposal was researched by Shu and Gongjin together with many staff officers from the Privy Council. Isn't it just more military expenses! Don't be so stingy," Xu Shu laughed loudly.

"Yuanzhi, is it a little military expenditure? Ever since you knew that the Tiangong Temple had developed a steam engine and created a new era of coinage, when I, Daxi, decided to officially implement paper money, I thought that as long as I, Daxi, wanted to print it, that was what I wanted." The central bank can print as much as you want, and the funds required for the general logistics and general equipment are as high as 500 billion Xi coins, and you directly removed half of the treasury," Zhuge Liang said angrily.

"Kong Ming, although this number does seem a bit large, you also know how vast my Daxi territory is. In order to be completely stable, a military region must have at least three front armies, and a front army has six army groups, and a group army has eight armies." The establishment of the army, each military region has at least 60 people, and the top ten military regions have more than 700 million people. This is not counting other logistics, medical care, etc. You said that there is not enough military expenditure for such a large force. The Privy Council is not functioning properly," Xu Shu also said helplessly.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked directly at Yuan Xi, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if half of the national treasury is given to the army, how will Daxi's economy, people's livelihood, and commerce develop, and how will the Three Kingdoms be completely stable? Dean Ma of Tiangong Temple also approached Chen a few days ago, asking for 500 billion Xi coins to study the difficulties, and I am not a god, so I really can't afford so much money."

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and comforted him: "Kong Ming, don't worry, it's understandable that the Shangshutai has difficulties. My Ministry of Internal Affairs estimated a few days ago that it is worth at least 3000 billion Xi coins. I can lend it to you first. In addition, there are quite a few rich people in my Daxi now. Investments in Guishuang, Anxi, and Rome can be obtained from them, at least hundreds of billions. This money should be able to last for a few years if you give it to you. The world is stable, so I think this military expenditure is nothing more than drizzle."

As a later generation, he is very clear that for a great empire that is about to dominate the planet, the military expenditure of more than 4000 billion is really nothing. It is just that other places have not yet developed, so there are difficulties in operation.

"Your Majesty, Shengming." Xu Shu immediately stood up excitedly and said, the military expenditure is sufficient, and he, the main court of the Privy Council, can gain a firm foothold, otherwise the commanders would not block his house!
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang smiled wryly, and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to use the money from the House of Internal Affairs. After a while, I will go to the major business groups to have a good chat."

"Kong Ming, this time I did feel a little wronged by Shangshuyuan, but after the formation of the ten major military regions, Daxi's focus will still be on economic construction," Yuan Xi comforted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Kong Ming said gratefully.

"Your Majesty, it's time to confer titles." At this time, a literary official from the Huagai Palace came in to report.

"Okay, let's confer titles to the commanders first." Yuan Xi waved his hand and led the crowd out towards the Chaotian Palace again.

. . . . .

Not long after, in Chaotian Hall, the resounding national anthem was played again, and the thirteen marshals of Daxi stood on the dragon platform amidst the reverent eyes of the generals in the hall.

Yuan Xi walked step by step in front of Jiao Touch. When the two hands were tightly held together, there was an extremely violent applause in the hall, and even the other Marshals beside him also applauded vigorously.

Looking at Jiao Chu with tears in his eyes, Yuan Xi patted his palm and said softly: "Zhong Sheng, you have not failed me, and I have not failed you either."

"Your Majesty" Jiao Touch finally couldn't control himself and shed tears. He thought back then that he was just a school lieutenant of the Iron Guard, and was often bullied and despised by the two generals of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. The head of the current commanders.

"Zhongsheng, keep working hard, there will be more battles waiting for us in the future," Yuan Xi said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Jiao Touch replied loudly.

After Yuan Xi moved lightly, he came up to Zhou Yu who was standing in the second place, and said with a smile, "Gongjin, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually confidants, and we fought well in the first battle of the day. Go one step further"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhou Yu said gratefully.

After Yuan Xi nodded, he came in front of the third Zhao Yun. After the two shook hands, they nodded knowingly.

"Zilong, thank you for your hard work." Yuan Xi said softly. There were not many touching words, but it sounded more trusting and caring.

"Willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty," Zhao Yun immediately said loudly.

"Okay." Yuan Xi smiled, and awarded medals and Daxi dragon rings to the other ten Marshals of Daxi one by one.

After all the commanders had conferred titles, they immediately knelt down to Yuan Xi and said loudly, "Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

"Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live Long Live"

The generals in the hall also followed, and after the huge sound of long live came out, tens of thousands of troops also kowtowed to the ground in unison, their earth-shattering shouts seemed to shake the sky under the blue clouds for a long time.

On the dragon platform, the only Yuan Xi who was still standing looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Long live Daxi!!"

Since then, Daxi's first conferment of titles since the founding of the country has come to a successful conclusion, and Daxi has completely entered a new era.
