"Da Lang, half of the Duting Station has finally been taken for you, how can I thank you?"

That night, on the Songlin Pavilion in Gao Yu's Mansion, Zhao Ji told Wu Haogu about the Duting Yi sales plan finalized in the Chongzheng Palace in the morning.

That's right, Wu Haogu is working overtime again tonight - working overtime to accompany the official's family to drink and prostitutes! Present today are Yan Xixi, the first flower of Kaifeng Mansion, and her mother Yan Po'er, a pair of mother and daughter flowers accompany Zhao Ji, one on each side! Next to Wu Haogu is Chunlan, she is the woman who took away Zhao Ji's virgin body! Accompany Wu Haogu tonight. Gao Yu found Master Li to accompany him...... It's really hard to be a favorite of the Son of Heaven!

After Wu Haogu listened to the good news from Zhao Ji himself, his mood didn't seem to be too high, and he just thanked him softly.

Zhao Ji also thought that Wu Haogu was because he didn't win the other half of the Dutingyi project, so he comforted with a smile: "Dalang, there will be opportunities in the future, and you will not be made to suffer." ”

This attitude really moved Wu Haogu a little.

"Your Majesty," he quickly explained, "the minister is not worried because he didn't take the entire Dutingyi, but because he regrets not being able to establish a system for selling official land in Kaifeng. ”

Wu Haogu originally wanted to introduce "bidding, auction and listing", but now a holy decree will solve the problem - half of the Duting Post is priced at 1 million. This is actually not harmful to the economic interests of Wu Haogu, not to mention that no one will come to grab the order, and there is no need to pay additional city tax and deed tax, just take the holy decree to Kaifeng Mansion to transfer the deed.

However, "bidding, auction and listing" is a system, there are so many official lands in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is no mechanism, will they let the 10,000 real estate banks under the Republic Bank take over in the future?

Zhao Ji smiled: "Let's talk about it next time...... By the way, the edict to set up the Xiyuan Repair Institute was also drafted. Who are you coming, this magistrate? ”

The establishment of the Xiyuan Repair Office under the supervision of Jiang was also Wu Haogu's suggestion - in his plan, the renovation of Qionglin Garden would become the construction of Qionglin Palace, and the construction of Qionglin Palace would become the construction of Qionglin City. If everything goes well, ten to fifteen years later, next to the disrepaired Kaifeng Mansion City, I am afraid that there will be one more small but sturdy new city. The government office responsible for the construction of this new city is the Xiyuan Repair Office!

As usual, there should be two prefects of the Xiyuan Repair Office, one is an internal official and the other is a foreign official. Now what Zhao Ji is asking is who will be the foreign official among the governors?

Wu Haogu glanced at Gao Yu, who was hugging Master Li, he really wanted to take down this prefect, but Wu Haogu had other ideas.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Pan Shiyilang."

"Pan Eleven?" Zhao Ji originally meant to belong to Gao Yu, but after hearing this, he glanced at the future Gao Taiwei, "Da Lang, is Pan Shiyi unwilling to lead troops?" ”

"Your Majesty, he can't bring soldiers." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Brother Eleven is a big businessman in Kaifeng Mansion, with millions of assets...... How can such a rich merchant lead an army to war? ”

"That's right." Zhao Ji frowned.

Pan Xiao'an, a wealthy businessman, has been working in Yanzhou for a period of time, and he doesn't seem to have achieved any results, he is just messing around.

But Pan Xiaoan can't do it, who can lead the troops in the system of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army?

Wu Haogu smiled and pointed at Gao Yu, "Your Majesty, I think Big Brother Gao can manage the warriors in front of the palace for Your Majesty." ”

What the? What the? Gao Yu was a little anxious when he heard Wu Haogu's suggestion, he was originally a good Xiyuan cultivation magistrate, how did he become an official who governed the warriors in front of the palace? What kind of oil and water can a bunch of bitter country warriors have?

"Hehe, this is going to be bitter." Zhao Ji laughed as soon as he saw Gao Yu's face, "Da Lang, what do you say?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "How can Big Brother Gao be afraid of hardship?" Besides, it is an important errand to govern the samurai in front of the palace...... If 1,000 can be selected, then there are about 500 samurai who serve in Kaifeng Mansion all year round, which are all elite iron horsemen like the iron harriers of the Western Thieves and the Tielin Army of the Liao State! With such an elite, apart from Big Brother Gao, who else can manage it well? ”

Gao Yu actually can't manage those iron horses, but there is really no one available around Zhao Ji, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty has no suitable candidates.

The current Great Song Dynasty has neither a real military academy system nor a manor family, so naturally it has no ability to cultivate military talents.

Of course, it does not mean that the Song Dynasty did not have good generals. How else did Yue Fei get out? His family is probably a customer of raising horses for the Han family in Xiangzhou or a rich farmer or something. Didn't Yue Fei learn martial arts?

The Song Dynasty just didn't have a mechanism that could provide a long-term and stable supply of military talents—most of the officers of the Song Dynasty's Central Army were made up by the sons of business generals and civilian families. If they want to engage in business and art, it is not a big problem to take the imperial examination, but they can fight......

Therefore, the central armies of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty had a problem of zero combat effectiveness, and the root cause of Jingkang's shame was actually that the combat effectiveness of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army was equal to zero.

Later, when the Southern Song Dynasty was wiped out by the Meng Yuan, the same problem arose. The national defense in the late Southern Song Dynasty did not rely on the central army of the Lin'an court at all, but relied on the Zhongshun army system founded by Huai'an Anfeng Jiangmen and Meng Zongzheng and Meng Ke (the foundation of the Zhongshun army can be traced back to the Yuejia army), all of which were warlord troops with soldiers.

After these two forces either collapsed (collapsed by the Southern Song Dynasty itself) or were defeated by Meng Yuan, the performance of the 130,000 forbidden troops led by Jia Yidao, a major military officer in Pingzhang, on the battlefield was to disperse in a hurry...... Like the Hebei and Kaifeng forbidden armies in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness was equal to zero.

By the way, although Na Jia seems to be quite stinky in the history books, he is not the same as those who have not been on the battlefield in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He was born as a handsome man who had been in Rong Ma for half his life, and he knew how to fight. But what good would he be alone? I don't understand anything under my hands.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wu Haogu to find a boss who can fight for the 1,000 (now only 500) manor knights.

There may be some famous generals in the Western Army, but the generals of the Western Army are not in the Kaifeng Jiangmen system. Zhang Shuye may be a little stronger than Gao Yu and Pan Xiao'an, but he is a civilian official, and a civilian official cannot lead troops. Lin Wancheng and Lin Chong's martial arts are good, but they don't have that qualification.

So Gao Yu has become the most suitable candidate.

However, Gao Yu himself didn't think so, he shook his head and said: "Da Lang, I don't know anything about military affairs, how can I lead troops?" ”

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Wu Haogu asked rhetorically.

"Understood." Gao Yu nodded.

"Do you know how to shoot?"

"I understand."

"Do you know how to ride and shoot?"

"Understand."

"Do you know how to use spears, carbines, swords and shields?"

"There will be some ...... too"

Gao Yu is still a bit of a three-legged cat, and his martial arts are similar to Mi Youren, of course, not as good as Song Huizong himself. Compared to Zhao Zhongge, Lin Chong and Olga, it is far worse. But it is far more than Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an.

"But knowing a little martial arts doesn't mean that you can lead soldiers!" Gao Yu still has no confidence.

The military outlook of the people of the Song Dynasty was light on martial arts, heavy on strategy, and they did not look down on the courage of the horseman, and they were not brave enough to be high.

"It's good to know martial arts!" Wu Haogu said, "Pan Shiyi and I don't even understand this...... If you go to lead the troops, you won't know if those martial artists are deceived. Brother Gao, you can at least keep an eye on the martial arts, horses, and equipment of the knights who served on the fan.

As for the battle formation method of the iron cavalry, Zhao Zhongge can be used as a training officer...... Maybe you can borrow another military attache from Princess Xiping who has been in charge of the Iron Harrier. ”

How to train and organize infantry, the Department of Military Studies has summed up a set of methods. Now it is natural to get cavalry, and cavalry is more troublesome than infantry. If you want to engage in cavalry, you must first raise knights, and then you can talk about organization and tactics. Otherwise, they are all cavalrymen who are about to fall off as soon as they get on their horses, and any tactics are fake.

Of course, horse breeding and breeding also go hand in hand, which is a project that requires perseverance to be effective.

"Gao Yu," Zhao Ji also knows horseback riding and martial arts, so he can understand Wu Haogu's words, "Da Lang is right...... The knights in front of the palace will be in charge of you. By the way, you can't call the samurai in front of the palace, you have to call the royal horse in front of the palace, and belong to the front of the palace. Gao Yu, you come to be the commander and bring this elite to me. ”

Gao Yu knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to get up and salute: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Seeing that Gao Yu is finally on the right track - one step closer to Gao Taiwei! Wu Haogu smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhao Ji again: "Your Majesty, can the minister recommend another deputy prefect to be in charge of the Xiyuan Repair Institute with Pan Shiyi?" ”

"Who do you recommend?"

Wu Hao Gu said: "Cai Ju'an." ”

"Cai Jing's eldest son?"

"That's him."

"Good!" Zhao Ji smiled, "It's time to arrange a good or bad for Cai You." ”

……

"Lu Wangzhi is coming back? Haha, it's hilarious! ”

At the same time, Ji Yi, who was still waiting for Zhao Ji to be summoned at home, had already heard from Zhang Yuan that Lu Jia was going to return to the court to take charge of Taifu Temple.

"Qiang Yinji and Liu Ai are going to die in a hurry," Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "We should be thinking of a way to transfer at this time, right?" ”

"Lu Wangzhi is so annoying?"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "There is a cool official, and anyone who sees it is worried." And...... No one has been able to build a house under the housekeeping of the left and right wings for a long time. Will be a prison and will not be under the management of Taifu Temple, can you help build a private house? ”

"It can only be contracted to private individuals." Ji Yi said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan shook his head with a smile, "Do you have the capital to pay for the housekeeping of the left and right side stores?" And Lu Wangzhi's reputation is so stinky, who dares to take credit? ”

"That's right." Ji Yi nodded. "There are too few things that can be done well by the government-run industry...... An Shumi and Lu Wangzhi should have a headache next. ”

"Hmm," Zhang Yuan smiled, "no one is willing to help them build a house, there must be profiteers manipulating, and then it's time for Taifu Temple to find trouble with the Republic!" ”

Taifu Temple manages a lot of things, including the city tax of Kaifeng Mansion!

Ji Yi nodded, "Fourth uncle, there is one more thing...... It is a student belonging to the Department of Military Science who has been transformed into a samurai priest in front of the palace. Zeng Xianggong and An Shumi didn't let go so easily, right? ”

"Of course I won't let go!" Zhang Yuan said, "A household of 1,500 acres, just 500 people in the Military Science Department need 750,000 acres!" Do you understand what to do? ”
