"Da Lang, eighteen gave birth to a daughter for you again?"

On the night before Wu Haogu left Kaifeng Mansion and left for the east, Zhao Ji held a banquet in the Shuixin Hall of Qionglin Palace to see off Wu Haogu - such a face is really big at home, and a banquet is held in the palace! And you have to stay overnight...... Of course, the woman who went to bed tonight brought her own, and Wu Haogu brought Bai Feifei.

At the beginning of the banquet, Song Huizong asked a little regretfully about Pan Qiaolian giving birth to a daughter.

"There will always be a sister-in-law," Wu Haogu smiled indifferently, "The eighteenth sister was born quite smoothly this time, and she can get pregnant again after a year or two." ”

Although Wu Haogu already has two sons, and they are both very strong, they should not die young. But those are all sins, and there is still a difference between them and their sons-in-law. Of course, Wu Haogu's eldest son, Wu Yiyong, is infinitely close to his concubine Ximen Qing because he is from his concubine Ximen Qing. If Pan Qiaolian really doesn't have a son, then he can get the right to inherit. However, this is unfair to Pan Qiaolian, so Wu Haogu still hopes to have a son with her.

"That's right......," Zhao Ji nodded, "But having a daughter is also a happy event." I wrote a post of "Thousand Character Text", which is still written in my newly created thin gold font, so I will give it to your new daughter. ”

Wu Haogu's daughter can be regarded as wealthy, not only reincarnated in the family of the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, but also got a copy of Song Huizong's "Thin Gold Thousand Character Text" just after birth, in later generations, even suspected fakes can be auctioned for 140 million treasures! And the book in Little Sister Wu's hand is 100% true......

Wu Haogu hurriedly got up and thanked him, Zhao Ji smiled, waved his hand and said: "Isn't it just a calligraphy, your teacher's writing is better than mine, and your own writing is not bad." ”

Wu Haogu shook his head and said: "The family teacher can't write "Thousand Character Essays" now, and my words are barely readable. ”

It is not difficult to write a "thousand-character text", but it is not easy to write a thousand-character text of calligraphy. A thousand words can't be written incorrectly, and it is also very energy-consuming to pay attention to the structural layout. For Song Huizong's age, there is nothing, but Su Dongpo is not energetic.

As for Wu Haogu's characters, it is Xi from the late Qing Dynasty calligrapher Huang Ziyuan, who can still write well, but it is not everyone.

"Your handwriting is really good, there are signs of self-contained, but you don't have time to polish it." Zhao Ji commented with a smile, "Your Erlang's handwriting has improved very quickly, and the regular script with a face is quite good!" ”

Zhao Ji is really a great expert, and Wu Hao is the ancient practice of Huang Ziyuan's "Ninety-two Methods of Interframe Structure", which is of course self-contained in the Song Dynasty. However, he didn't practice enough, and he didn't have the talent for it. And Wu Haowen is a seedling of a calligrapher, don't look at it as only 21 years old, and his face has already written everyone's demeanor.

"He's a jinshi," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "the minister is a military attaché, how can he compare to him?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled, "Aren't you a great Confucian?" Isn't the Great Confucian worth more than the Jinshi? By the way, is Wu Haowen back? Ji Yi arrived three days ago, counting the days, he should also come, right? ”

"He stayed in Luoyang for a few days, and he only arrived this afternoon to pick up his wife and children from Han Xianggong."

Wu Haowen had a disciple early on, named Yili.

"Oh." Zhao Ji frowned slightly, it wasn't much, as soon as Wu Haowen was mentioned, he couldn't help but think of the infinite charm of Feng Erniang......

"He did a good job in Lantian," Zhao Ji retracted his thoughts and said with a smile, "He has lived up to my expectations, and it is time for him to return to the capital to be an official." Da Lang, did he tell you which yamen he wanted to go to to be an official? ”

"Said," Wu Hao Gudao, "he wants to be a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace." ”

"Okay," Zhao Ji said with a smile, "There can be four storytellers, although there are people doing them now, but only Su Yu is his own job, and the others are part-time, so just skip one."

Da Lang, it's time for your official to be promoted, right? This time the arms trade with the Goryeo Kingdom earned 2 million yuan for the Ordnance Supervisor, and he helped the Koreans, which is not a small credit. Go back and promote you to be a reserve envoy, and then add a door to praise the people. ”

The envoy of the reserve treasury is a military rank official of the seventh grade, and the Xuanzan Sheren of the gate is a military position, and the military attache plus the post is the same as the civil official plus the pavilion position, which is a kind of honor and the meaning of being able to bear heavy responsibilities. In addition, military attachés are generally added to their posts before they are added to their posts, and then they are assigned to Yaojun.

Wu Haogu is now qualified to be added to the rank of Wupin Yao County, and once he is added to Yao County, it means that he has entered the ranks of intermediate military attaches and is qualified to serve as the commander of the army.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Haogu got up again and thanked him, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a request." ”

"Say it." Zhao Ji asked with a smile.

"A few days ago, the minister selected equipment in the ordnance superintendent, and found that most of the weapons were old and dilapidated, and it was difficult to use." Wu Haogu pondered and said, "The minister can only let people pick some relatively new ones and sell them to the Koreans, but there are not many new equipment in the ordnance prison, and they can't all be given to the Koreans, so they will be given obsolete equipment next year." Therefore, the minister wanted to open an equipment repair office in Jiehe Commercial Market to renovate old equipment. ”

"Refurbishment?" Zhao Ji was stunned, "How to renovate?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "It's that the wooden pole is rotten and replaced with a new one, the arrow shaft is broken and replaced with a new one, the iron is rusted and sharpened, and the leather rope of the armor is rotten and replaced with a new one, and then painted with some paint and oil." It's better than nothing if you can make do with it, right? ”

"It sounds like shoddy," Zhao Ji smiled, "This is a profiteer doing things, right?" ”

"Isn't it shoddy? The minister really wants to be a profiteer. Wu Haogu sighed, "But the quality of the weapons in the ordnance prison is really worrying, and there is no good one." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, he also knew some things that the weapons of the ordnance supervisor were not very usable. He thought for a while and said, "In the past, when Taizu was in the court, he had to personally check the weapons every ten days, should I do the same?" ”

Even if you do that, it won't work! Wu Hao Guxin said: Zhao Kuangyin has fought all his life, and he is an official who can charge in battle, and he can see at a glance whether the weapons are good or bad. Where did Zhao Ji get this kind of eyesight? Zhao Ji's eyesight is on calligraphy, painting, literary play and women......

"Your Majesty, you don't need to." Wu Hao Gudao, "The ineffectiveness of the military weapons supervisor and the herd supervisor is mainly a problem for the trick officer. Now the calligraphy and pictures in the four bureaus of Hanlin are very good, and the level of the edict is still improved compared with the early years of the dynasty. If there were also high-level sorcerers in the prisons of weapons and herdsmen, the quality of weapons and horses would not be so bad. ”

"This dynasty is indeed prosperous," Zhao Ji nodded, "and the martial arts strategy is indeed slightly inferior to the Han and Tang dynasties, and the ability to build weapons and store war horses is not as good as that of the previous dynasty." ”

There are market-oriented reasons for this. The price of calligraphy, painting and literary toys in the Song Dynasty was high and the market was large, so it was naturally able to attract enough practitioners to keep improving and hone their skills.

Although the size of the arms market in the Song Dynasty was not small, the requirements were very low - because the children of officials, families and large landowners with better economic conditions almost did not join the army, and the demand for high-quality weapons was less.

Zhao Ji said again: "By the way, your teacher Su Dongpo recently gave a "Begging Quasi-Folk Trick Academy", which seems to be about this. He thought for a moment, "Why don't you run a pilot academy to build weapons first, but is anyone willing to come and study?" ”

Whether anyone reads it is indeed a question, and learning and excellence have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Craftsman skills have been passed down by word of mouth since ancient times, and are rarely taught through schools. No, the biggest problem now is not whether anyone will read it.

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "Is there anyone willing to come and read it is a later story, the current question is how to open this kind of academy?" How many subjects do you want to create? How to write a textbook? Where are the teachers going to be invited? How many classroom teaching and workshop internships should be arranged...... There are too many things that need to be explored, if there is no rule, even if the court encourages it, the people don't know how to open it, and now the court itself can't open a trick academy, let alone the people?

Therefore, the minister wants to try out the equipment school and animal husbandry school in Jiehe Shang City, and now opening a repair institute can also explore the way for the first time to open an equipment school. ”

"Repair Institute, Instrument Academy, Animal Husbandry Academy......" Zhao Ji said with a smile, "Dalang, there are really more and more things that you are in charge of Jiehe City. ”

If the generals of the Western Army heard this, maybe the old heart would tremble, but Wu Haogu didn't take it seriously, and just smiled: "No matter if it doesn't work...... Now the Goryeo and Jurchens are about to go to war, and once the overlord of Haidong is decided, I am afraid that the next thing will be a great disaster for the Liao State! If Your Majesty wants to build a world-famous martial arts, you must seize the opportunity. If the minister does not prepare now, how will he deliver equipment, food, horses and ships to the Northern Expeditionary Army in the future?

Fighting a war is actually fighting logistics and materials! ”

Listening to what Wu Haogu said, Zhao Ji's spiritual head immediately rose. His rule is unprecedented, and if his martial arts can keep up, he will be a perfect king.

"Da Lang," he looked at Wu Haogu, "do you really have a way to recover Quan Yan?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister can't go into battle to fight, and he won't lead troops to train." However, the ministers will operate, and they can run the Jiehe Commercial Market, and they can also save a lot of money. When the time comes, there will always be no shortage of logistics, no shortage of materials, and tens of thousands of Yanyun heroes can be bought for His Majesty at a high price. In this way, as long as His Majesty sends 100,000 soldiers and a few good generals, he will definitely be able to restore Quanyan. ”

Wu Haogu can't fight, but his "silver bullets" and "meat bullets" are no worse than the later Principal Jiang.

"Good!"

Zhao Ji is very satisfied, Wu Haogu's method sounds the most reliable, and he will not produce such a rebellious and incurable hero. He raised his glass and laughed, "Da Lang, I will give you a glass first...... You let go of the affairs of the boundary river, and I will give you the right to act cheaply! When you can go on the Northern Expedition in the future, I will let you be the commander, and the credit of this king will only be given to you! ”
