"Xuanfeng, I heard that your brother Zhang Kegong was bullied by Wu Dalang when he was a county lieutenant in Yanggu County?"

Li Zhong's ears and eyes are also psychic, and he actually knows the conflict between Zhang Kegong and Wu Haogu because of the "lewd thief incident".

"It's just a little misunderstanding," Zhang Shuye gently turned the wine glass in his hand, as if he didn't care, "And it's not a conflict with Wu Dalang, but a chivalrous girl named Ximen Qing who is put on the table." ”

"Yanggu Ximen's house is not simple!"

"Oh? Does Li Daguan know about the family's situation? ”

"I heard Tong Gangfu mention it," Li Zhong said, "This family seems to be the queen of Youzhou, and there is a branch in the Liao State, and they are the retainers of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou." Ma Zhinan came to the south, and it seems that he has something to do with them. ”

"Really?" Uncle Zhang seemed to suddenly realize, "No wonder Wu Dalang attaches great importance to this Ximen Qing...... It is said that Yanggu Yimen Fan is really asking for trouble when he provokes them. ”

Li Zhong's brows gradually tightened, "But it is not appropriate for Wu Dalang to use such a powerful force for himself." ”

Uncle Zhang smiled at night, "Maybe he also wants to toss a general, right?" It seems not impossible for him to rise from the east gate of the seventh rank to the top of the thorn history now. ”

"He's just a businessman who still wants to start a gate?"

Uncle Zhang picked up the wine glass at night and drank it all, "Why can't you?" Generals don't necessarily have to start in the ranks, and come from a lonely background. If you can control powerful minions, and then you can judge the situation and seize the opportunity, businessmen who will not lead troops to fight can also make contributions. Didn't that Lü Buwei use troops to the east many times when he was in Qin? ”

"Can Wu Dalang be better than Lu Buwei?"

"Why not?" Uncle Zhang smiled faintly, "Lu Buwei has a son, and Wu Dalang also has His Royal Highness King Duan in charge!" ”

"But how can Wu Dalang have a general?"

"General?" Uncle Zhang laughed at night, "My brother said in the letter that the Ximen family has 500 baoding, which is quite elite, and it is not a little stronger than the forbidden army here in Kaifeng Mansion!" Moreover, that Ximen Qing also led Bao Ding to march overnight to attack the Liangshan bandits...... During this period, the queue was tightly organized, and no one was left behind! Daguan Li, you have been in the Western Army for many years, what do you think? ”

"How is that possible?" Li Zhong took a breath of disbelief. The troops of several hundred people marched at night with a female stream, and they were also in strict formation, and none of them were left behind...... Is this the concubine of Wu Haogu or the Empress Dowager of the Old Liang of Western Xia?

"How could it not be? This is the law of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties! Uncle Zhang smiled at night, "If the official family gives me 100,000 acres of official land to raise soldiers, I can also pull out 500 elites within five years." ”

It is not a new invention to control the lives of the peasants and force them to fight in the army. During the Warring States period, the Seven Heroic Powers were playing like this, wasn't Wei Wushu like this? A soldier gives 1,200 acres of good land and controls your family, who dares not to play with their lives? Who doesn't play to the death of the whole family!

Therefore, as long as the land is in place, it can really make the soldiers get benefits, and the young generals who are responsible for training are also responsible enough, and soldiers like Wei Wushu can be trained.

With such elite soldiers, how can you not fight a general?

Li Zhong laughed: "The official family will give you 100,000 acres of official land to raise 500 elite soldiers, and now it is not the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Yes, the official family won't give it," Uncle Zhang said at night, "but Wu Dalang can buy the land with his own money!"

He is so rich, let alone 100,000 mu, even 500,000 mu can afford it. If it is trained according to the method of Yanggu Ximen's family, 2000 Baoding will also be raised. Yang Baoding is not illegal, and the future of His Royal Highness King Duan may be ......

In the future, there may be a Northern Expedition, and that will be 2,000 utility soldiers! If you spend more money to hire some warriors from Liao, won't you have an elite? And he still has a relationship with Liao, and if he manages it well, he will be able to buy a few cities in the future. If you can conquer three or two states, you can reward one festival. ”

Li Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again.

The Great Song Dynasty has the "Armor Protection Law", and it is completely legal for a large landlord to raise a few hundred baoding! Isn't there 2,000 people from a few extraordinarily large landowners? Wu Haogu really wants to give up the income of hundreds of thousands of acres of land, how can he not raise a strong man?

In addition, every time the Great Song Dynasty fought a war, civilian heroes were allowed to serve in the army. Wu Haogu pulls 2000 utility to fight, and theoretically it is not illegal. Of course, without a backstage, this is a bit of a death. But if the future official family supports him, what is the utility of 2000? Who doesn't raise the Western Army? If they didn't have the effect, they would have killed Western Xia long ago.

The Western Army can be raised, but the martial arts can't be raised? It's a big deal to give a noble official who is a festival envoy to do "pardon" after fighting Yanyun, and the military power is it?

"If you want to make contributions in the future," Uncle Zhang glanced at Li Zhong and smiled, "It is indispensable to raise a few hundred strong men...... Li Daguan, don't you say? ”

Uncle Zhang's meaning is also very clear, that is, he wants to learn from the Ximen family and raise some thugs in the future so that he can charge forward with the children of the Zhang family.

In his opinion, the Privy Council Department of Military Science is mostly unreliable...... There are too many problems involved, and this matter is a civilian official training! If you can be healthy today, with his support, maybe the Military Science Department can still do it. But at present, the official family will not be able to look at it for a long time, and the future official family will allow the central civil officials to master an elite army in Kaifeng Mansion?

Don't think that this matter is smaller than the Jiangmen family raising a few hundred baoding in Hebei or Northwest, I think that Zhao Da was the commander of the army in front of the palace back then, not the envoy of the festival in other towns! If you add a yellow robe, you have to do it in Kaifeng Mansion. You have a few hundred strong men in Hebei who are at most in the grass, and it is a dream to enter Kaifeng Mansion. If there are hundreds or thousands of elites in Kaifeng Mansion, you can control the abolition of the palace at a critical moment!

Now the Great Song Dynasty is already a civilian, noble and military, the power of the court and the local government is in the hands of civil officials, and public opinion in the world is also controlled by civilian officials, and the civil and imperial military have also entered the hearts of the people. The reason why there is no power to coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven is that the military power of Kaifeng Mansion is firmly in the hands of Jiangmen.

If there is a traitor in the gate, you can control Kaifeng Mansion but you can't control the place, and when the time comes, you will have your own loyal and good soldiers and Qin Wang, and you will definitely be defeated as soon as you hit the banning army. On the contrary, if the ministers have different intentions, as long as they can't control the military power of Kaifeng Mansion, the ministers' own safety will be lost, and the emperor's will will be nothing.

Therefore, the training of elite soldiers in the center is a taboo to break the balance of power in the Great Song Dynasty!

In the history of the Song Dynasty, the central military training has never been realized. Not to mention the Zhezong Dynasty, which is still peaceful in the world, even if the two powerful ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Tuoxuan and Jia Rudao, were in power, half of the country was gone, and even local feudal towns appeared, and the two powerful ministers did not dare to train in Lin'an. Among them, Han Tuoxuan was born as a military attaché, and Jia Rudao was a minister who had led troops on the front line for many years......

"Xuanfeng, your Zhang family wants to buy land in Cangzhou to raise Baoding?" Li Zhong already understood Zhang Shuye's thoughts.

"It's not that our Zhang family wants to raise some people," Uncle Zhang smiled, "The Cao family, the Pan family, the Liu family, the Shi family, several Wang families, and the two Gao families all want to raise some people." A family raises a hundred, and there may be tens of thousands of useful people in ten or twenty families.

This, isn't it more reliable than the Department of Military Science? ”

"That's, that's." Li Zhong nodded again and again, "A family of hundreds always wants it...... Otherwise, what will be used to go to the Northern Expedition in the future? You can't all rely on the Western Army, right?

It's just that these hundreds of baoding have to be raised, in a place like Cangzhou, there is not enough 100,000 acres of land, right? ”

Cangzhou is not Haizhou, let alone Huainan and Jiangnan, the yield per mu is very low, and it is still old and watery. Without a 100,000 mu of land, you can't afford to raise a large capital.

And this 100,000 acres of land, where can I buy it if there is no 108,000 yuan? Although the Jiangmen of Kaifeng Mansion is rich, not everyone is the same as Pan Xiao'an - Pan Xiao'an is also a rich man second only to Pan Xiaoyan in the Pan family's Jiangmen!

Even Uncle Zhang himself doesn't have that much money.

Moreover, the gate is not a righteous door, and people are separated from each other. The rich branch may not want to make meritorious deeds, and those who want to make meritorious contributions may not be rich.

"What about the money?" Li Zhong asked.

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Naturally, I came from the Jiehe Business Market...... Li Daguan, do you think this will work? ”

Li Zhong is through the sky!

Zhang Shuye and Li Zhong said this, naturally they wanted to pass the word to the official Zhao Xu through him - the generals of Kaifeng Mansion can contribute to the imperial court, and they don't need to train troops in Kaifeng Mansion, this is terrible! As long as the emperor can let everyone develop in Cangzhou, a family can raise hundreds of people, and it will be able to pull out 10,000 effects in the future. With these effects, if you pick a little bit of elite strength from the forbidden army in Hebei and Kaifeng, you will have forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers. If you transfer another 40,000 or 50,000 from the Western Army, the Northern Expedition will probably be successful......

Of course, in order for everyone to earn money to support strong men, Jiehe Commercial Market should let Kaifeng Jiangmen control it!

……

"Da Lang, Da Lang, it's dawn."

Because of pondering his thoughts, Wu Haogu, who didn't sleep well for half a night, slept until almost noon the next day, and was woken up by Bai Feifei.

Bai Feifei was still dressed as a "good family", waiting for Wu Haogu to dress and wash, and then served the Qibao five-flavor porridge that he had boiled by himself, and had breakfast with Wu Haogu.

"How did you settle last night's account?" Wu Haogu asked while eating.

This is the first time in his life that he has prostituted!

"Account?" Bai Feifei smiled and said, "Da Lang has wrapped the body of a slave, and what is the bottom account?" Last night, Da Lang promised the condition of the slave, don't you forget, right? ”

No money...... Isn't it considered prostitution?

Wu Haogu thought for a while, "You have to pay for the body, right?" How to tie it up? ”

Bai Feifei still shook his head and said with a smile: "Da Lang, the slave doesn't want your money, you can paint an oil painting for the slave every year."

Moreover, you should not come to the building in the future. The slave has a small house next to the state bridge tile, and no one knows about it, so you can go there and meet the slave. ”

Hehe, the good family has also played in the house, this Bai Feifei is really good at playing!
