It's finally time to go back to Kaifeng Mansion.

It is now November of the first year of the Great Song Dynasty and Yuanfu, and Wu Haogu's line has been walking outside Kaifeng Mansion for three or four months. I didn't make a lot of money, but I made friends, gained knowledge, and had a hazy plan for the future.

If the situation of the Liao State is really as Ma Zhi said, the heart collapses, then there are two possibilities in the future: one is that the Northern Dynasty will achieve a dynastic change, and the emerging Jurchen Dynasty will replace the decaying Khitan Dynasty, just like the situation in history!

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty will face a Dajin who has just risen and is at the peak of its military power.

The second possibility is that the Jurchens were unable to completely replace the Khitan, thus plunging the Northern Dynasty into a split, and a divided Northern Dynasty, although also strong in force, was not difficult to resist.

Therefore, the goal of Wu Haogu's struggle was to divide the Northern Dynasty in the future chaos, rather than to change the dynasty.

It's just that Wu Hao's ability from ancient to modern times is too small to affect the future of the Northern Dynasties.

Fortunately, it is still the first year of Yuanfu, and there are still more than 20 years before that catastrophe...... No, it's sixteen or seventeen years - the world chaos can't be counted from the year of Jingkang, but from the time when Wanyan Agu started the rebellion, about 1114, right?

If you really want to make a difference, you should actively participate in it when the Northern Dynasties are in turmoil, but you can't wait until the Xuanhe Northern Expedition to think about it. At that time, the Jurchen barbarians had already grown bigger in the struggle of blood and fire for more than ten years, and had developed a force that could split the mud.

Therefore, the time left for Wu Haogu is not too short, but it is not too long.

And how can he participate in the chaos of the Northern Dynasties?

Now that I think about it, it's nothing more than burning money!

Use money to support the Han people of the Northern Dynasties, the heroes of the Bohai Sea, the leaders of the Xi people, the embers of the Khitan, and of course, the Khan King on the grassland! Let them arm themselves and fight each other, and whoever is weak will be supported, and whoever is strong will be suppressed...... This may plunge the North into a protracted divisive turmoil.

And the money to be burned in this way is probably an astronomical amount!

In addition to burning money, Wu Haogu also has to have someone...... A capable person like Ma Zhi! Otherwise, it won't have any effect if the money is spilled out.

Therefore, the Six Arts Academy still has to be organized, and it is best to do it in a big way! It not only provides talents for Wu Haogu to intervene in the civil strife in the Northern Dynasties, but also prepares for the anti-Jin war to be carried out in case the intervention fails...... And this academy, needless to say, is also a melting pot of money.

The so-called "six arts" is more important than the mainstream Confucian education in the Great Song Dynasty, and the main difference is that there is a lot more military education. For example, military salute, "shooting" and "royal". In fact, the Six Arts Academy can also be regarded as a military academy that trains grassroots military cadres - on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, if there are no troubled times, these students from the Six Arts Academy can probably only go to the martial arts examination, right?

And military education must be expensive, it is very expensive, it is very expensive, and this money must not be allowed to let the students' families go out, otherwise no one will come to study the Six Arts Academy.

The funds for running the Six Arts Academy also have to be raised by Wu Haogu......

The third is to improve the breed of horses, which seems to be less important than the first two. However, Wu Haogu is still ready to invest, because the initial investment in improving the horse breed will not be too large. Moreover, once the horse breed improvement is successful, it can also bring considerable income to Wu Haogu.

The fourth big project to spend money is Duan Wang Zhao Ji, that is, the future Song Huizong.

Wu Haogu's painting skills can certainly make Song Huizong look at it differently, which is very helpful for Wu Haogu's future career start.

If Wu Haogu didn't have any ambitions, he would have been able to have more than 20 years of glory and wealth with calligraphy and painting by Song Huizong's side.

But if he wants to do something big, then he has to earn a few "small goals", and if he wants to make so much money, he will not let the corrupt officials of Mankaifeng Mansion and Qingtian be slaughtered as fat pigs (corrupt officials slaughter pigs for themselves, and Qingtian slaughters pigs for the country), then Song Huizong must be fed to his heart's content.

In the words of later generations, Wu Haogu was a pair of white gloves of Song Huizong who was responsible for making money.

This white glove has to be able to make money, and it has to make Song Huizong wear it comfortably, and he can't prick his hands...... At least Song Huizong can't feel that this pair of gloves will prick his hands.

Wu Haogu's cause can be carried out as he wishes.

This route may seem aggrieved, but there is no other way.

If Wu Haogu chooses to take the imperial examination and Wenda - if he can pass the examination - even if he enters the political affairs hall, the wealth and space for activities at his disposal will definitely be far inferior to a "white glove" wealthy businessman.

Because the vast majority of the Great Song Dynasty officials who "emphasize literature and ignore martial arts" have a degree of precaution against the prime minister, that is, they are second only to the generals with heavy troops, and they will not let any prime minister open a new world outside the court - today's official Zhao Xu is an exception, and he reuses Zhang Xuan to the point of complying with his words, but Zhao Ji is not such an official.

In the Huizong Dynasty, it was necessary to complete the Liao interference and the cultivation of thousands of Confucian students in the Six Arts through the bureaucracy of the Great Song Dynasty, which was both bloated and inefficient, and had constant internal party disputes...... It's almost a dream!

After thinking clearly about the path he wanted to take in the future, Wu Haogu sighed deeply.

In this era, his ability to make money is really not small, but there seem to be more places to spend money...... I really don't know how many "small goals" I have to earn to spend it?

"Da Lang, there is the White Horse Ferry in front of you!"

"After crossing the river, Kaifeng Mansion City will not be far away!"

"It's been a thrilling journey...... When I return to Kaifeng Mansion, I must go to Yihong Courtyard to have fun for a few days. ”

"Haha, Xiao Yi, are you still thinking about Yan Po'er's sassy girls?"

"Third Brother Guo, don't you want to? It's suffocating you, isn't it? ”

"Haha......"

The voice of Guo Jing and Liu Wuji's conversation sounded in Wu Haogu's ears.

Wu Haogu's two friends are probably the same as Wu Haogu, looking forward to their future. But they don't know the catastrophe more than twenty years later, so all they can think of is good.

The future is still bright for them.

Tong Guan, who was entering with Ma Zhi, also heard the words of Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, he immediately stopped talking with Ma Zhi, turned his head and said to Wu Hao: "Da Lang, our family has already asked someone to go to the ferry in advance to arrange a ferry, and we will definitely be able to cross the river today, and after crossing the river, we will go to Huazhou City to rest for one night, and then go to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow." ”

In this era, the course of the Yellow River was not in the north of Kaifeng Prefecture, but passed through the territory of Huazhou and Weizhou, which were dozens to a hundred miles away.

So after crossing the Yellow River, there is still a day's journey to reach Kaifeng Mansion.

Tong Guan said again: "When you arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, you can prepare one first, and wait for the summons at home." ”

The Queen Mother's announcement of Wu Haogu's return to Beijing does not mean that she will be summoned immediately, the Queen Mother is old, her memory is not good, and she forgets many things after she is told, who knows when she will think of it again? The little people below can only wait endlessly.

"Everything is at the command of the great official." Wu Haogu just replied respectfully. But I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, after all, Liu Youfang, who had been offended by myself, was still in the palace! Who knows what this thing will do for itself?

No, I have to hug Song Huizong's thick legs as soon as possible, otherwise...... This risk cannot be completely ruled out! I don't know what happened to Brother Gao Yu's Zhang Luo?

In addition, he and Chen Youwen's accounts have to be calculated carefully.

This thing actually hired Liangshan thieves to kill himself! It's really too deceitful, you must give him some hardship.
