“…… The king's words are extremely true, since they are all contributing to the country, they can't chill the hearts of their courtiers. The official raised another amount for him, and he could just scrape together 100,000 yuan of money and food. Sima Guang was stunned, his tone changed, and he didn't change one point to more than enough heart and not enough strength, and he could still squeeze out some of his efforts.

He understood Wang Anshi's words, that's right, the emperor's gaffe must not only be for Wang Xu, but for the sixth prince Zhao Maid. Since the year before last, the issue of establishing an heir has become a cliché in the court.

More and more courtiers tend to be succeeded by King Wu, and the reason is that they must be steady, generous, and knowledgeable. There is only one reason not to approve of being succeeded by the six princes, he is too young! It is not impossible to let an underage child be the emperor, but it is by no means the best choice.

The lessons of history show that whenever the emperor is too young, it is easy to have a situation where the harem is in charge of politics or powerful ministers, since there is a suitable candidate for such a grade as King Wu, why let a child take the risk.

Da Song is not only your Zhao family, it is also a stage for scholars and doctors to show their talents, and how to run it cannot be a family, which is related to the core interests of everyone.

Military spending of the imperial court? Hong Tao really didn't have any hope, and he didn't want to get 100,000 new troops according to the emperor's idea, it was too wasteful. Sima Guang guessed correctly, thirty or twenty thousand is enough, and no more can be raised.

At present, Hong Tao has put all his energy into training the new army, what sea ships, ammonium oil medicine, pulley crossbows, and new box cars, these are all equipment, and in the end they have to be used by people, and there are no qualified soldiers and grassroots commanders, and no matter how much equipment there is, it is the rhythm of sending it to the enemy.

Can the 20,000 men who have been sent in succession train into a new army? Others can't, Hong Tao can, at least half of them can. It doesn't matter if the body is thin or weak, the servants are all adults, the rice, meat and esophagus are full, supplemented by the appropriate amount of exercise, in addition to the height can not be changed, it will be able to strengthen a circle in less than half a year, which is not much worse than the forbidden army.

In addition to the physical, what is more important for the warrior is the spirit. It is useless to be strong and strong, whether it is the new army or the forbidden army, the war does not depend on personal force value, but on discipline. Without strict battlefield discipline, we will not be able to bring into full play our combat effectiveness.

At this time, the question arises, how to transform the van service and engineering troops into qualified new army soldiers within a year? The road of the Daimyo Mansion is no better than that of Huangzhou, and there is no enemy who can be used as a sparring partner, and it is never possible to simulate the feeling of actual combat by training alone.

Pull and train! These two words are Hong Tao's tricks. Recruits who were physically qualified and had been trained for more than four months were selected from the new army on the Daimyo Fu Road and loaded into boxed trucks, and sent to Ganzhou for training in batches and battalions. Each batch is spaced one month apart, trained for three months, and then returned.

Why do you want to go to Ganzhou to train? There's no battle to fight over there, it's just to adapt to the bitter cold of the Northland, at most it's really good for honing your will or something.

No, that's not what Hong Tao intended. There must be a battle to fight in Ganzhou, and the Tanguts are gone, and the Uighurs cannot touch it, but that does not mean that there is no way to train in actual combat.

From Ganzhou to the south is the territory of Tubo and the yellow-headed Tatars, and Xiluosa has not been idle, but after all, he gained power relatively late, and the number of ethnic groups is also small, so he has not made much progress by relying on piecemeal fighting.

This time, Hong Tao was going to give him a big gift, so that the new army of the Daimyo's Mansion and the new army of Ganliang Road would be mixed, and the old soldiers would lead the new soldiers and enter the territory of Tubo to fight in makeup. If they are far away, they will take the southernmost Tibetan tribe and the yellow-headed Tatars, not seeking to occupy territory, just to have a war.

Will Wang Hou and the court agree to this? The former has to agree if you don't agree, the new army is currently in the hands of Wang San, and it is not to deprive you of your military power, you only need to help with training, and you should help if you are reasonable.

I can't care about the three words on the court side! The new army on Ganliang Road is under the direct command of the emperor and the general staff, and the Privy Council can't control anything without the palace front division and the guard department.

It was still a special zone, and it still is. The same is true for the new army on the Daimyo Mansion Road, the imperial court only gave a few military expenses to send a meal and wanted to control the new army, Hong Tao is happy with the emperor or not?

Could the Emperor have agreed to such a large-scale mobilization of new troops? The answer is that you must agree, otherwise the three-year contract will be invalidated, and the opportunity for Zhao to rely on the new army to make meritorious contributions will also be lost, let alone the sixteen states of Youyun. Compared with these gains, the movement of the new army is less important.

In fact, Hong Tao is still holding back the bad, 80% of the new army sent over are pure recruit eggs, when he comes back, the new army on Ganliang Road will be transferred by Wang San using the method of changing the tanuki for the prince, leaving the recruits who have just seen the battle in the local area, and the veterans will be sent back.

It is impossible to hide this matter from Wang Hou for a long time, but Hong Tao has already calculated it, he has nothing to do with himself, this is a confused account, and there is no place to sue him?

Besides, as long as the Northern Expedition starts here, no one can be held accountable. I'm killing the enemy for the country, why don't I get some veterans back? No matter how nonsense you are, you won't even be left with new recruits, and all of them will be transferred back. As long as the Liao State is won and Nanjing is regained, this lawsuit will not be resolved in front of the emperor.

Before the freeze, Wang Hao came to the door with two truckloads of gifts to say goodbye, he wanted to return to his hometown in Fujian with the fleet transporting pig iron, and he would have to come after March next year.

The Wang family has become a real wealthy merchant in their hometown in recent years, relying not on shipping, but on the trade of Ganliang Road and Daimyofu Road. Don't forget to dig wells, the Wang family has done a good job at this point, whether Hong Tao likes it or not, the gifts twice a year in spring and winter never fall once.

In fact, Hong Tao likes these specialties from the seaside, dried fish, shrimp, snail meat, including sea vegetables, especially when shabu-shabu.

As for valuable gifts such as pearls and corals, they were all sent back to the Horse Mansion and handed over to the eldest princess. Some of them were given to the eldest brother and royal relatives, and some of them were sold directly for money.

No way, the 30,000 new army's food, drink, Lasa and equipment have to be paid for by themselves, and the emperor's internal funds and the imperial court's military expenses cannot be said to be useless, but they are really not a top deal.

The new army is no better than the forbidden army, just put weapons on the body armor, I dare not say that a new army is more expensive than a forbidden cavalry, but the equipment, training, and daily living expenses of two new army soldiers are by no means less than that of a cavalry.

"The three children will be returned to you, and the official's words count!" This time, Hong Tao did not pay attention to the gold content of the gift, but sent someone to call the three sons and nephews of the Wang family and handed them to Wang Hao in person.

Don't waste these three children around, let's go home with Wang Hao first. If you have nothing to do, you can still call them back, and the Wang family will not be able to stop them at that time. If they have something to do, they can rely on the power of the Wang family to avoid being affected, which is equivalent to three more fires.

"My lord is righteous, and the Wang family is grateful...... You three haven't come to kneel down and thank you for your grace! Of course, Wang Hao is very happy, this is simply a relief in the snow.

With the addition of these three children, the Wang family can not only continue to engage in inland trade, but also plan to open up new sea routes can also be put on the agenda. With a two-pronged approach, it's hard not to get rich and expensive!

"Don't toss the child, the three of you go down to pack your luggage first, and the official still has something to tell your uncle."

Hong Tao waved his hand, and the three children had already knelt down and begged once when they learned that they were going to be sent home, begging themselves not to send them away. It's a pity that it didn't work, and he was taken away by Wang Shi to educate him well.

"But do you have a plan?" Wang Hao will see the founding marquis every time he goes to the Daimyo's mansion, and sometimes he will stay in the mansion for a meal, the two get along well, and their temperament and temperament have also touched some, I dare not say that I can grasp it, and I can also see some signs.

"Uncle, you can't chew it if you are greedy." Sometimes Hong Tao really wanted to go to the Wang family to see how many people there were, how could they be interested in everything, and even the Jewish bakery was copied back to his hometown, and it was said that it was doing well.

"I'm not afraid of adult jokes, if others mention these things, villains really don't dare to call the shots, but what adults say is exactly what the Wang family says, just do it." Wang Hao didn't feel embarrassed at all, it was natural to make money with his ability.

"This time it's not just about making money, maybe it's a money-losing business, and if you don't do it, you have to take your life." Hong Tao is used to listening to these sycophants, and filters them directly.

"Do what you say!" The more scary it is, the more Wang Hao looks forward to it, what a big deal this has to be, even the founding marquis, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, said that it is dangerous and must be followed.

"The official wants to ask my uncle to take advantage of the winter to go to Goryeo, but can he make it?"

"Goryeo! Forgive the villain for daring to ask, but the adults want to use the engraving of Hoedodo to trade with the Koreans......"

At this time, Wang Hao was really dumbfounded, he had already thought about all the possible places in his heart, and even thought of going to the Song-Liao border or the legendary Uighur realm in the Western Regions, but he didn't expect to go to Goryeo.

"Engraving...... Yes and no? "Where is the engraving in Baohuitang, but judging from Wang Hao's expression, there seems to be something wrong here, so let's inquire first.

"My lord, the imperial court arrested several maritime merchants in Quanzhou and Mingzhou, all of whom were convicted of selling engravings and taking monks to pay tribute. If it weren't for the engraving, the Wang family would not dare to go to Goryeo, where there were Quanzhou maritime merchants, who were local officials for the Goryeo, and outsiders would stop without permission and a catastrophe would come! ”

The plausible attitude of the founding marquis made Wang Hao even more suspicious, and he tried his best to persuade him to dispel this idea. The reason is very sufficient, the first court does not allow it, and the second competition is not a good deal, both public and private.

"Oh, it seems that my uncle knows something about Goryeo, so I might as well tell you about it in detail. Green lotus, prepare lunch, and then send someone to the river to tell the boatmen to set sail later, do what you have to do, and don't drink the northwest wind on the boat. ”

Hong Tao didn't plan to let Wang Hao go to Goryeo to run a business, what was there to buy and sell in that broken place. But if Wang Hao knows something about Goryeo, he might as well listen to it, and he promised Chen Niang and Sidi to find a piece of land for them to build a country, even if it is not for their sake, they have to plan well for their son.
