"Aren't there still poor scholars on the left list of the imperial examination?"

Su Dongpo's brows also furrowed, what Su Zhe said was completely understandable to him. Wu Haogu's move to support the government soldiers is essentially to exchange officials for soldiers. Because the right list of Jinshi has to test martial arts, it will inevitably block a large number of poor scholars who can only study the Five Classics hard. And entering the Guozijian and Yuntai Academy Palace is undoubtedly the only way for the Hanmen scholars to take the right list of Jinshi.

And when Guozijian was originally divided into Guozixue, Taixue and Wuxue, except for Guozixue, which was a backdoor reserved for the official N generation, Taixue and Wuxue were mainly for the children of the Hanmen - at least in theory. In particular, Taixue, which has the best prospects, not only needs to be recommended by the state government, but also has an entrance assessment, and also excludes the children of middle and senior officials from entering the school, which is completely a way for students from poor families to be promoted.

But now, once the help recruits are exchanged for the quota of the new Guozijian, then the Guozijian will inevitably become the back door of the rich and noble. Although this move allowed the imperial court to obtain a large number of "compulsory government soldiers", it turned the sacred Guozijian and the imperial examination (right list) into a place for the state to trade with the wealthy and magnates.

"Ziyou," Su Dongpo spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Now that the forbidden army is in ruins, it can't fight, and it costs too much money, so the country must rely on government soldiers to protect it." And the conscription of government soldiers must be contributed by the wealthy and giants, and if they don't give them benefits, are they willing to contribute in vain? If they don't make a difference, they just rely on the ability of local officials to do things, how can the government military system succeed? ”

"What you said is good," Su Zhe shook his head, "but after all, you have given people a handle." Not only will the Xining traitorous party not let you go, but even the old ministers of Yuanyou will not support you.

By the way, do the other rulers in the DPRK and China know? ”

Su Dongpo nodded and said with a smile: "I know, Han Shipu didn't speak, Cai Yuanchang tried his best to support it, Wen Yubi also supported it, Xu Chongyuan was a little complaining, only Li Qingchen clearly objected." ”

"Han Shipu is just too weak, Cai Yuanchang looks at the face of the official, Wen Yubi is also the same as Cai Yuanchang, Li Bangzhi is against it because he is not on good terms with you, only Xu Chongyuan is public, but it's a pity that he is old......"

Su Zhe shook his head while commenting, now the righteous men and gentlemen in the court are really running out, all of them either just want to protect themselves or are keen on political disputes, and their elder brother is rash into reform, which is almost a copy of Wang Anshi.

He sighed: "I'm not going to wade through the muddy waters, if you think I can still raise small people, let me go to Hebei East Road to be a pacifier." ”

"It's fine." Su Dongpo nodded, "The Liao people like you very much, and you will definitely be able to make the two countries safe and sound when you go to Hebei East Road." ”

……

Haizhou Bay, this is the time for the autumn breeze to be cool. Along with the autumn wind, there are also merchant ships from the Liao Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom and the Jiehe Trading City in the north, and hundreds of ships are crowded in the bay, showing infinite vitality and prosperity.

At this time, it is also a good season to travel, in addition to the merchant ships on the sea, there are many beautifully decorated painting boats, between the land of Qishan County, Haizhou and the fairy island of Yuzhou, the sound of silk and bamboo is like nothing, floating with the wind on the sea.

On one of the particularly large and sturdy painting boats, there were also a number of sergeants guarding them, although they all held spears that were useless at sea, but this formation made the surrounding ships avoid them one after another.

In the cabin, there are silk and bamboo songs and dances. Six beautiful and beautiful maiko are singing and dancing to the music. The gorgeous and moving dance posture made the passengers sitting in the cabin smile.

There are many people sitting on this boat, there are two leaders of the court for decades, Zhang Dan, the deputy envoy of the Wuchang Military Festival, and the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, Zeng Bu, who knows Haizhou, and Lu Jiawen, who has become a huge rich man in Haizhou, and Lu Jiawen's son-in-law Jian Xuchen, the six-way shipping envoy, and Ji Yi, who changed the Beijing official because of his meritorious service in the pilot of the government soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion, and Ji Yi, who took leave to go home to visit his mother after becoming a Bapin Chenglang - if this ship capsizes and sinks, then Wu Haogu will be very grateful to the Dragon King!

But it's hard to come across such a good thing......

The boat won't capsize, and the people on the boat are still discussing how to get along with Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu!

"Exchange the number of students in the national prison for government soldiers...... Thanks to Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu, they can figure it out! They don't take the world's scholars seriously! ”

Just hate and hate is Wu Haogu's opponent Lu Jia asked, his business is getting bigger and bigger, not only making coal, but also buying pig iron pots from the smelters of Xuzhou Liguo Jian and selling them to salt farmers in Haizhou to cook sea salt - hundreds of thousands of yuan a year can be earned steadily! This ability to do business is really chasing Wu Haogu.

However, Lu Jiawen is not the person who makes the most money on this boat, Ji Yi is! Ji Yi has earned at least 300,000 yuan in the past year! But he hasn't done anything in the past year...... Earned 300,000 yuan without doing anything, this is a real genius!

What made Ji Yi transfer so much money was, of course, the rise in land prices in Haizhou, and when Ji Yi was in Yuanfu for three years, he asked his family to buy land in Haizhou. Not only in the south of the county seat of Qishan, but also in and near Tianya Town. More than 500,000 were cast before and after!

These plots have risen sharply over the past year, rising by at least 300,000 ...... However, Ji Yi didn't seem to be satisfied with such a return on assets, because his brows became tighter and tighter.

Seeing his face, he asked, "Remember, what do you think?" ”

"It may not be a scholar in the world," Ji Yi said, "The scholars of Shaanxi Sixth Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road may not be dissatisfied!"

For example, how many Jinshi are there in the first subject of Shaanxi Sixth Road? Now 500 government soldiers can be exchanged for a Guozi supervisor, and two Guozi prisoners can produce at least one Jinshi...... The people of Shaanxi Liulu are fierce, and it is not a big problem to pull out tens of thousands of government soldiers a year, right? In the future, among the right list of jinshi, I am afraid that Shaanxi people will be indispensable. ”

"Wooing the Western Army?" Zhang Duan raised an eyebrow.

Ji Yi nodded: "Not only the Western Army, but all scholars in places where the military government is located can benefit." In addition to the Sixth Road in Shaanxi, there are also Hedong, Hebei and Henan Mansions, all of which are places where the old party forces are intertwined.

For those big families, five hundred strong men worked for five years in exchange for a place for a national prisoner.

Moreover, those strong men who serve as government soldiers can also get the benefit of being exempted from forced labor for life, and the official family will give some rewards, which is also profitable. ”

In fact, Ji Yi completely thought too much, Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo didn't think about this aspect at all, they just couldn't pull Zhuang Ding...... Lantian County's method also works in Lantian County, and other places still have to give more attractive conditions.

So after racking his brains, Wu Haogu gave Su Dongpo such a trick before leaving Kaifeng Mansion - Shaanxi Sixth Road, as well as the poor middle peasants in Hedong, Hebei and Henan Mansions were coerced and lured by the landlord Lao Cai to become soldiers, and the children of the landlord Lao Cai took the quota of Guozi Jian to study military affairs and become an officer in the future, which seems quite reliable.

Zeng Bu touched his beard, "No wonder those people in the old party don't speak up much......"

Zhang Dian smiled: "The official family will definitely support it...... Follow the path of Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu, there are soldiers, there are generals, and it doesn't cost much, how good is it? ”

"Could it be that we just look at Su Dongpo and Wu Hao Gu and the two thieves proudly?" Lu Jia asked and said hatefully.

"Of course not," Zhang Dian said with a smile, "Although Su Dongpo's move has curried favor with the readers of Shaanxi Sixth Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Two Roads and Henan Mansion, the readers in other places must be dissatisfied."

And to please the giant room, suppress the crime of the cold door can't run! Even in the old party, there must be many people who are dissatisfied with him. Moreover, "The Theory of Heavenly Principles" and "Positivism" will eventually cause great controversy among Confucianism. So Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu will definitely not have a good life in the future! ”

"But now?" Lu Jia asked with a look of itching at all, "Do you just look at them proudly?" ”

Zhang Dian laughed: "Now it's up to you, Brother Wang!" ”

"Rely on me?" Lu Jia asked, "What can I do?" ”

"You can do business!" Zhang Dian looked at Ji Yi again, "Yizhi, your family is also a giant businessman, you can't watch Wu Haogu make all the money, right?" ”

"Yuezhang means ......"

"The old man can also run a business when he visits him, why don't you make a big deal together and grab the wealth of Wu Haogu?"

"Doing business?" Ji Yi frowned, he was just studying hard to get into the Jinshi in order not to do business. Why is it back to buying and selling now?

Zhang Dian said with a smile: "The old man has been watching coldly these days, and I found that the reason why Wu Haogu was able to help Su Dongpo ascend to the throne and please the official family was that the trick was to join forces with politics and business!" This business ...... Not only can you get money, but you can also do things.

And if we want to turn back the situation, we can't blindly clear the high, we have to learn from the ancient martial arts! ”

"But...... Uncle Yue, what should we do? Ji Yi asked with some hesitation.

"Learn from Wu Hao!" Lu Jia asked, "What kind of business he does, what kind of business we do too." ”

"So he's doing ...... now"

Ji Yi thought to himself: Wu Haogu's Christie's line, Oiran line, and wine fairy are not good for other companies! As for the real estate in Kaifeng Mansion, it is a big deal, but people have the help of the official family, what should they do on their side?

"Do business!" Zhang Dian smiled, "Wu Haogu's biggest strength is not the Republic Bank, but the Jiehe Commercial Market!" He can have a bounded river commercial market, so can't we draw a scoop according to the gourd?

What do you think? If you can do it, a few of our old men will help you exercise a lifting market. ”

Lifting the city's shipper? Ji Yi asked: "Which city does Grandpa Yue want his son-in-law to promote?" ”

"Jingdong City." Zhang Dian said, "Although Quanzhou and Mingzhou have more money, Jingdong City Bosi can compete with Jiehe Shang City for the trade of Liao and Goryeo...... That's the hot spot for more than a decade to come! ”
