"Shuaisi, this is a letter from Zhang Da's teaching."

In the Jiehe Shang Municipal Hall, Wu Haogu stood up from behind the public case, rushed over in a hurry, and took an envelope without any signature from Lin Chong, the hall master of the secret hall of the Jiehe Shang City. Zhao Zhongge and Ma Zheng, who were sitting on their knees under the public case, glanced at each other. They all came to report to Wu Haogu on the progress of the Dao Protector Group (mercenaries) under the Great Cultivation Regiment. Seeing Wu Haogu's eagerness, Zhao Zhongge smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, but Ma Zheng frowned slightly.

As Wu Haogu's henchmen, who of them still doesn't understand Wu Haogu's current situation? His power is now cultivated. Jiehe Commercial City, Yuntai Academy, Doctoral Group, Positivist School, Coastal City Shipping Division, and of course, Gonghe Bank and other commercial houses. The combined strength of all kinds of forces is enough to make him a giant in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty. But while his strength became stronger, Wu Haogu also made himself an invincible enemy - the world's sergeant! This is not one or two officialdom friends, but eight or nine out of ten people in the world.

Even Su Shi, the father of Su Shi, another confidant of Wu Haogu, is now on the opposite side of the positivist school - his father's opposition to the positivist school does not mean that his son should also oppose it, and the Su family has always been very enlightened in terms of standing in line with the school......

And how to maintain Wu Haogu's great foundation, it's a headache to think about.

However, Wu Haogu has always been very calm, and even put aside the upcoming wind and rain, and was busy organizing the Great Education Mission, promoting the founding of Japan, and organizing the mission to visit the Great Food Country. I didn't take Cai Jing's hostile attitude to heart at all. Seeing Wu Haogu's calm momentum, his subordinates were also a little relieved.

It's just that whether they can get out of the current predicament or not, no one knows the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Haogu took the letter, hurriedly opened it, and read it at a glance and ten lines, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Cai Jing really did what he (should be Zhang Dian) expected, and he still fell into the trap. Of course, this is also a trap set too perfectly, with Cai Jing's current status and situation, he really can't refuse - who let Cai Jing become a left servant by being able to toss and do things? Zhao Ji used him a lot, didn't he just want him to do things? And the most important thing now, isn't it military reform?

Now that Cai Jing has swallowed the "poison pill", if he wants to use the opportunity of the imperial examination to get Lao Shizi to go to the bus, then Wu Haogu can use a little trick to turn Cai Jing over the poison and send him to Haizhou for retirement.

However, poisoning Cai Jing does not mean that the world is peaceful. It won't be long before new "Confucian diehards" emerge to make enemies of their own ...... Who allowed himself to open the magic box of rationalism and positivism?

But now that the box has been opened, it is impossible to close it again!

He didn't move, put away Zhang Yuan's letter, and then said to Lin Chong: "Sect Leader Lin, you can sit for a while." ”

"Whoa."

Lin Chong answered, then stepped aside, and also found a chair to sit down and wait quietly.

Wu Haogu continued to discuss with Zhao Zhongge and Ma Zheng about the organization of the Taoist Protector Group. The Protector Group appears to be a ragtag army, composed of monks, Taoists, and Confucian doctors, and its main members are hired temporarily. However, Wu Haogu's Doctor Regiment has the ability to provide it with a core officer corps and quite sophisticated equipment, so as to build it into an elite unit with combat effectiveness.

Through this dispatch of troops, Wu Haogu also hoped to explore a set of "commercial army" organizational model of officer corps and mercenaries, and turn professional and high-level management into the core combat effectiveness of the army - in his opinion, the main reason for the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army was not the emphasis on literature and light on military force, but the extremely chaotic, inefficient and unprofessional management.

In fact, the same problem does not only exist in the military. The situation of the Northern Song Dynasty court was similar in other aspects, and the water conservancy project could play the Yellow River Sanyi, which washed away countless fertile fields. The government-run real estate rental in Kaifeng Mansion has reached the point where a large number of houses have collapsed and no one asks. It is even more a joke that it takes one or two hundred acres of land to raise a horse, and it costs another two or three hundred yuan...... And to raise and raise is not to raise a few qualified war horses, and in the end blame the land of the Central Plains is not good! Now that the "good" land Hetao grassland has arrived, let's see what good horses the herd supervisors can raise!

……

"Sect Leader Lin, I'm going to trouble you to go to Kaifeng Mansion!"

The conversation with Brother Zhao Zhong and Ma Zheng has ended, and now it's time to plot behind closed doors!

In the big study room of Wu Hao Gunuo's public hall, there were only two people left, Wu Hao Gu and Lin Chong. Lin Chong has followed Wu Haogu for many years, and he has not been very useful, he has always been a role of a caretaker, but he is better than reliable. Therefore, after Wu Haogu returned to Jiehe Shang City, he handed over the dark hall set up by Ximen Qing to Lin Chong to preside.

Because Lin Chong has been a "police leader" for several years and has presided over the police patrol school, it can be regarded as the basis for a bit of spy work. So after taking over the dark hall, it did a good job, and there was no big basket. Of course, he didn't face any major tests.

And this time, it is a huge test of Lin Chong's ability.

"Shuai Si rest assured, his subordinates will definitely do a good job." Lin Chong patted his chest and made a guarantee to Wu Haogu.

"Who is in charge of the hall of Kaifeng Mansion now?" Wu Haogu was still a little uneasy.

"It's Liu Ergou."

Liu Ergou is also an old courtier who has followed Wu Haogu for many years. Last year, he was sent back to Kaifeng Mansion by Ximen Qing, and took over the trade of the north tile of the state as a cover, and set up the Kaifeng Mansion of the Jiehe Secret Hall.

"What about the Biyong Academy?" Wu Haogu asked. "Are there any of our people in there?"

"Yes!" Lin Chong replied, "Chen Xingguo is a professor of military science in the Biyong Academy. ”

Chen Xingguo's "Xingguo" is a trade name, and his single name is a sword character, which is a Confucian student in Tanzhou, Jinghu South Road. It is said that it is a Confucian student, but in fact, Confucian knowledge is really not very good, but it is a good stick. With a little martial arts to travel the world, when I went to Haizhou, I happened to meet the opening of Yuntai Academy, so I went to sign up on a whim, and was admitted because of my good stick play, and became a doctoral student in the first phase. After graduating from the doctoral department, he was sent to the Knight Academy to study military science for two years. Last year, he was sent to the Biyong Academy as a professor of military science - the military science of the Biyong Academy is much simpler than the military science taught by the Knight Academy, but it also belongs to the system of the positivist school, so it must be taught by students who graduated from the Knight Academy to which the Yuntai Academy belongs.

Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then asked: "Xingguo is also a person from the dark hall?" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing the affirmative reply, Wu Haogu nodded and asked again, "Which one else can be of great use?" ”

Lin Chong lowered his voice: "Yan Xixi is also our person!" ”

"Oh!" Wu Haogu raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile, "Not bad!" It's really useful......"

"There are also a few down-and-out military attachés," Lin Chong added, "and there are our men in the Mabu army...... Although the Mabu armies couldn't fight, they were still very troublesome. In addition, there are also our people in the warrior straight. ”

"Good!" Wu Haogu finally laughed out loud and nodded with satisfaction, "Sect Leader Lin, then I wish you success!" ”

……

When Lin Chong arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian, who did not know that they had entered the urn, and Zhong Fu, who was about to put pen to paper, were setting up wine in Yan Xixi's small building, and invited several military professors from the Biyong Academy Palace to dinner - these military professors are all military attachés, and they are not big officials, they are all sesame officials from Jiupin.

Such an official position, in the past, not to mention that the prime minister invited him to dinner, even he did not have the qualifications to go to the prime minister's mansion to give gifts.

But now the situation is different, the two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian are preparing to do a quick martial arts. And the textbook commonly known as martial arts, of course, was copied from the Knight Academy of Yuntai Academy. But the problem is that just the three books "Infantry Science", "Cavalry Science", and "Tactical Theory", with such great knowledge as Cai Jing and Cai Bian, actually look like books from heaven. After making up the punctuation marks and Tianzhu numbers, Cai Jing and Cai Bian knew every character on the three books.

But when you look at it together, you don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand it at all! Zhong Fu can understand a little, at least the general meaning he understands - that is, at the combat level, emphasizing the tightness of the formation and relying on the charge to achieve results. But how to achieve a tight formation, how to organize the charge of the gun array and heavy cavalry, Zhong Fu still didn't understand......

So as soon as the three of them are combined, don't think about it yourself, find someone who knows how to ask!

And the experts who know how to do it are in the Biyong School Palace under the supervision of Cai Bian - when Su Dongpo was alive, the Biyong School Palace had considerable autonomy, but after Cai Bian served as the Guozi Supervisor and the wine, the Biyong School Palace became an official school under the direct jurisdiction of the Guozi Prison, and the autonomy was completely lost. However, this made it convenient for Cai Bian to mobilize the talents in the Biyong Academy, among which several military professors led by Chen Jian were the most valued talents by Cai Jing and Cai Bian.

Therefore, they didn't care about the respect of the prime minister, and they didn't care about any nobles and martial arts, so they took out the attitude of Corporal Lixian, and invited Chen Jian and others to eat at the Xixi Building - this is the most expensive "club" in Kaifeng Mansion today, and there is no one!

"Xianggong, you said that you want a few of us to support the rapid martial arts?"

"Xianggong, this matter ......"

After three rounds of drinking, several military professors who were like in the clouds and mist finally knew the purpose of Cai Jing and Cai Bian. Several of the professors weren't drunk yet, so they all had an urge to turn around and run away.

The military science of Yuntai Academy is now a branch of the Confucian positivist school, and it belongs to the system of the positivist school. If the students come from the Three Great Palaces (excluding Qingcheng and Gezhi, which have just opened), it is not difficult to learn. But it can't be done in a few months...... If you are a student outside the system, you don't have a few years to complete the knowledge of arithmetic, metaphysics, painting, etc., how can you teach?
