"Wu Dalang is a businessman after all, and he likes to be opportunistic too much, but I am afraid that he will win in the northwest and fight with Tao Zili."

As soon as Wu Haogu left, Su Zhe began to nag in front of his brother Su Dongpo, "As soon as he opens his mouth, he will attack Erzhou, and he really dares to say it!" Does he really think he's a great general? Big brother, it's really inappropriate to let him go to the northwest to replace Gao Yu. ”

"Maybe there's a way? Wasn't his ancestor a wealthy businessman who joined the army, and finally fought for a meritorious hero and a prince of the country? ”

Su Dongpo is talking about Wu Zetian's father Wu Shi Tong, Wu Shi Tong got rich in business in his early years, probably the richest man in Taiyuan, Li Yuan also borrowed his mansion when he first came to Taiyuan to be an official.

"I hope so." Su Zhe nodded, "Tomorrow is about to enter the right place, most of the officials will ask about the situation in Liao, how should they answer?" ”

Su Zhe was not very popular in front of Zhao Ji, and the Liao Kingdom seemed to be safe now, so he did not get the treatment of being more and more right, but queued up for a long time.

"You have to find something to do," Su Dong ramped, "It's better to propose to implement government soldiers on Hebei East Road." There are many heroes and strong people in Hebei, and the "Armor Protection Law" is not done well, many places are in vain, and there are also heroes who use armor protection to harm the people, so they simply replace them with government soldiers. ”

Su Zhe nodded. The original intention of the "Armor Protection Law" is good, but the implementation is a big hole. Baojia was a large-scale militia organization in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was related to recruiting soldiers, and had two major burdens: "Shangfan" and "Teaching and Reading".

To put it more thoroughly, it is a kind of military service! There is nothing wrong with the common people serving in the army, but the "Employment Law" implemented by Wang Anshi has already collected the money for exemption from military service. Then the cost of labor was waived, and military service came again...... And Wang Anshi didn't know what to think, and stipulated an unusually high percentage of Ding in the "Armor Protection Law". If there are more than two dings in the family, one of them will be Baoding! You must know that the military system of the Sui and Tang dynasties was only one for six households, and the ratio of two for one was probably only available during the Warring States period. However, during the Warring States Period, military merit was generally practiced in various countries, and the poor turned over by fighting, and during the Warring States Period, the state granted land, and the ability of the poor to survive and serve was also guaranteed.

The Northern Song Dynasty had a conscription system, and the poor who wanted to turn over by fighting a war went to be assassinated. At the same time, the main way for the Northern Song Dynasty society to rise was not to serve as a soldier and fight, but to study and take the imperial examination...... There is no good future for serious soldiers and wars, let alone being a Baoding? Who wants to do it?

In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty did not suppress annexation, and there was no national land grant system, although the overall economy was much more developed and prosperous than in the Warring States Period. However, the situation of the poor people at the bottom is actually inferior to that of the people of the Warring States, and they simply cannot afford a high proportion of military service.

Therefore, the "Armor Protection Law" is actually a messy evil law - most of Wang Anshi's new policies are like this, and he will implement what seems to be beneficial to the country! But the policy of guaranteeing these decrees in favor of the state, he should not exist.

Therefore, the "Baojia Law" did not become a good law to strengthen the law of the Northern Song Dynasty, but provoked a popular uprising in the last years of Shenzong.

After the death of Emperor Shenzong, the "Baojia Law" has actually become the legal basis for local tyrants to use force or exploit civilians.

In contrast, the "compulsory government military system" seems much more reasonable. On the one hand, the quota of the Biyong School Palace was exchanged for government soldiers; On the one hand, Ding Zhuang, who served as a government soldier, could also be exempted from military service for life. Moreover, the "compulsory government soldiers" do not need to work for too long, for a period of five years, and they will be pulled down after they are done. Although there is no formal salary, there is no need to bear any expenses (Bao Ding can only get rations when he goes to the last time, and he has to pay for his usual training), food and clothing are guaranteed, and sometimes he can be rewarded.

Therefore, replacing the "Armor Protection Law" with the "compulsory government military system" is undoubtedly a great good governance, so it has been implemented relatively smoothly in various parts of Guanzhong.

"Big brother." Hearing Su Dongpo mention the full implementation of the government military system on Hebei East Road, Su Zhe said with some hesitation, "There was still something to tell the eldest brother, but it happened that Wu Haogu came, so I didn't have time to say it." ”

"What?" Su Dongpo asked.

"The officers and students of the prefecture and state armies on Hebei East Road are all in the book, saying that the enrollment method of the Biyong School Palace is unfair, and a large number of places are occupied by the prefectures and counties that implement the government and military system, and the method of inspection and examination is carried out in parallel, and the content of the examination is heavy on martial arts and light on literature, which is the way to break the rise of poor students."

Su Dongpo frowned and sighed: "What they said is right, the enrollment method of Biyong Academy and Yuntai Academy Palace is indeed unfair, and it is to cut off part of the future of poor students."

Moreover, Biyong School Palace and Yuntai School Palace are cultivating right list jinshi, and they are supposed to take Yunwen Yunwu, how can a poor scholar pass the exam? ”

Su Zhe also shook his head and said: "Big brother, the left and right list of Jinshi are a little abrupt, I am afraid that in the future, I will divide the officialdom into two!" ”

Biyong School Palace is a school palace under Guozijian, which is the original Guozixue, Taixue, and Wuxue merged to form a "university", and Su Dongpo's protégé Chao Buzhi served as the chief official, or called Guozijian sacrificial wine. Because this school has a inheritance relationship with Taixue, it is also regarded as a new Taixue. However, the enrollment method of the new Taixue is very different from that of the old Taixue.

Lao Taixue's emphasis is to open up a way to heaven for the poor, and Xin Taixue is to select people who are both civil and military for the country.

The education of both civil and military education is actually a kind of elite aristocratic education, which is itself unfair - compared with the simple liberal arts and scientific examinations, the right list of Jinshi Studies, which integrates the civil and military examinations, relies too much on high-level and high-cost education. This makes it difficult for the children of ordinary people with insufficient economic strength to have the opportunity to enter the high school right list.

And the bigger trouble is still to come!

If nothing else, the "Six Arts Primary School" for the purpose of being admitted to the "university" such as Biyong School Palace and Yuntai School Palace will also appear in large numbers in large cities with concentrated population and relatively abundant financial resources in the near future-there are many rich people in big cities, and there are more people who can afford high tuition fees, and they will be able to support the opening of more "Six Arts Primary Schools".

To put it more clearly, the Yunwen Yunwu people who can be admitted to the right list of Jinshi, in addition to the children of the heroes and nobles, I am afraid that there are more industrial and commercial children with superior family economic conditions!

After all, the number of sons and daughters of business far exceeds that of Haoqiang and nobles. Therefore, the mainstream of the students of "Six Arts Elementary School" must be them! And they will also be admitted to universities like Biyong Academy and Yuntai Academy in large numbers......

However, small cities and even rural areas with underdeveloped economies, because they have no money, they cannot afford to support the "Six Arts Primary School", and without the "Six Arts Primary School", it is difficult to cultivate a right list of Jinshi by relying on academies with only liberal arts or a lower level of family education.

At the same time, the left list of Jinshike, which only examines liberal arts, still exists. In areas with poor economic conditions and small and medium-sized landlords, they are even more interested in the right list of jinshi and the cultivation of yunwen yunwu warriors.

That is to say, in the future, the left list of Jinshi and the right list of Jinshi in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty will be two types of people with completely different identities, backgrounds, and education.

Shilin division will be inevitable!

Of course, Su Dongpo also knew what Su Zhe said, he shook his head and said: "The imperial examination has been carried out for so many years, whether the people who have been selected can stabilize the country in peace, don't you know?" If it continues like this, what will the country do if something happens in the future? ”

……

After Wu Haogu left Su Dongpo's Mansion, he rode out of the city with Olga and returned to his own Pear Blossom Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my wife Pan Qiaolian and Luohan Maiden, who had just given birth, come out together.

Luo Han gave birth to a daughter for Wu Haogu and named her Jin Niang. However, the child's nominal mother is Pan Qiaolian, and Luo Hanwen can only act as a nurse - just look at her figure, she must have very abundant milk, and she can naturally breastfeed herself.

For such an arrangement, Luo Han did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and was still well-behaved and obedient. This morning, I heard that Wu Haogu was going to be sent to fight by the official family, and she, like Pan Qiaolian, shed an unknown number of tears. Both women now have red eyes and tear stains on their cheeks, which is heartbreaking to look at.

"Da Lang, what's the matter?" Pan Qiaolian came up and took Wu Haogu's hand and asked eagerly, "What did Mr. Dongpo say?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled and comforted: "Eighteen sister, don't worry, there is a way for your husband." If you go to the northwest, you will definitely be able to win! ”

Olga, who went home with Wu Haogu, also helped: "Yes! The master will definitely teach the thief a hard lesson! ”

She was probably the only one of Wu Haogu's women in Kaifeng Mansion who was happy for him...... How nice it is to go to war! Men deserve to be on the battlefield! And how much strength Wu Haogu has, Olga knows. She is the "Paladin" of Wu Haogu, and when she was in Jiehe Trading City, she would also participate in knight training. I also saw Wu Haogu's dummy army.

The Knights of the River plus the Dummy Legion are 1,200 knights! In addition, Wu Haogu also had 200 heavy infantry composed of war slaves. Moreover, there are many Liao warriors who fled in order to escape the persecution of Yelu Yanxi in Jiehe Shang City, and Wu Haogu can spend money to hire them to participate in the war. Two or three thousand elites can be made up. With such a strong strength, I am afraid that I will not be able to make contributions in the Northwest Battlefield?

Pan Qiaolian glared at Olga angrily, the woman who was talking nonsense, and said to Wu Haogu: "Da Lang, Brother Eleven, Su Dalang, He Lawyer, Zhou Jiaotou and Mo Niangzi are all here, and they will definitely come up with a way." ”

Pan Xiao'an, Su Dalang, He Tianran, Zhou Tong, and Mo Niangzi are all Wu Haogu's comrades in Kaifeng Mansion, and they are also people who have methods. After Pan Qiaolian knew that her husband was going to be sent to the northwest to "send him to death", she immediately asked her family to invite all these people to the Lihua Courtyard to discuss countermeasures with Wu Haogu.
