Horses, armor, and empty salaries, these are the tables of the degeneration of the forbidden soldiers, how can such forbidden soldiers be effective on the battlefield?

Therefore, Wang Ju vaguely guessed that Wang Shao and Zhang Qi's contributions were mainly driven by the Baojie Army and the Fan Army, which improved the overall combat effectiveness of the army. In actual history, after Lu Huiqing arrived in Yanzhou, he also realized this, in the past battles, the Song army let Fanluo charge, and the forbidden soldiers followed behind and responded, so it didn't work, how could the combat effectiveness of the forbidden soldiers be improved, so they let them charge together, and finally this measure failed.

Qian Mingyi understood that the emperor wanted to make an example, but he didn't want the matter to make a big fuss, so he dealt with it within the Yongxing Army.

Anyway, he has set his back on this black cauldron.

With Wang Ju's virtue, can he not kill people this time?

But can Wang Ju care about his feelings?

Wang Ju immediately interrogated these ten people and did not confess at first, but Wang Ju had a large amount of evidence in his hands, and he distinguished them, tortured them individually, and slowly got a confession after a few coaxes.

However, this case is more complicated, not only selling horses, but also seeking personal gain and deducting money.

It was getting dark, and Wang Ju continued to put these people in prison, and then found an inn to live in.

After settling in the front, Zhang Ji came over in the back, he was the east, and invited Wang Ju and his party to come over for dinner in a restaurant.

Xia Shu and they stayed outside, and Zhang Ji and Wang Ju entered the private room.

He is not Qian Mingyi, and he will ask Wang Ju how to deal with it. Several major drawbacks of the forbidden army are very strict, but this war horse problem is even stricter, and the speed on the battlefield is far better than the impact of armor, especially the impact of war horses. Once the cavalry is corrupted, especially the Tibetan cavalry, not to mention the north, even the northwest will not be able to fight.

Zhang Qi was concerned about another matter: "Zi'an, the court wants to change the law?" ”

"Brother hostage. You've heard that too? ”

"Why didn't I hear about this incident?"

This is what Wang Ju can't figure out, does Wang Anshi want to express his determination. Or fight for righteousness?

Just do what you want, why shout this slogan. Look at the fact that the law has not changed now, and it will make the whole world turbulent.

In fact, after Wang Ju saw more of the truth, he still supported the change in general, it was the real timely rain and the time to save the rain.

Without Wang Anshi, that black hole would have kept the Song Dynasty busy, don't look at Sima Guang's later toss in history, if there is no foundation for Xining's reforms. Does he dare to toss? Even when it came to Song Huizong, he also enjoyed the grace of changing the law.

It was only then that a series of mistakes occurred.

In fact, after this rain, the earth is wet, and it is time to do business. Zhao Ji did the right thing, but unfortunately it didn't work. In terms of thinking, Wang Ju is the same as Zhao Ji, if you want to solve the Northwest problem, you have to fight, and if you want to fight, you have to have money.

Although it didn't work out, the idea was right.

But when dealing with the northwest, the country's economy also turned around at that time. It is necessary to correct some of the ills brought about by the reform of the law in a timely manner. For example, expenses, it can't be said that Xiao Su has no reason at all, if the expenses are compressed to 150 million including the service money. The normal expenditure is 90 million, which is still a large amount, and it should be achievable.

Then, including the money for recruitment, the income is compressed to 130 million, and the actual income is only 110 million, and it will no longer continue to accumulate money so frantically, and it is not so terrible to accumulate more than 180 million, how much market can the opposition have? How much more pressure can the people have?

The change will continue.

This was the first crisis of the Song Dynasty.

The second crisis is the common goal of Zhao Ji and Wang Ju, military. It didn't last long. However, for more than 50 years, Wang Juruo has the lifespan of Wen Yanbo. It's all visible. The Jin people rose. Don't underestimate the Jurchens.

At that time, as long as the Song Dynasty could not release its forces from the northwest in time, whether there was a maritime alliance or not. will be more than lucky.

The third crisis, even without the pressure of the Jurchens, after a hundred years, the population of the Song Dynasty will inevitably swell to 30 million households, and even if Wang Ju has the ability to correct more ills, it will not even take a hundred years for the population to swell to 30 million households, and after reaching this number, the Song Dynasty will be officially over.

"Zi'an, I guess it's going to be difficult." Zhang Qi said.

Wang Anshi said that Yao Shunyu soup, Sima Guang is not rejected, this Sima Guang is different from Zhao Luan, Zhao Luan wants to come to the real, but Sima Guang likes to come to the void, so Yao Shunyu soup is more respected than Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi said that talents, Sima Guang is not excluded, there is no financial talent, how can the economy improve?

But Sima Guang was suspicious of this untaxed and sufficient use of the state.

The Song Dynasty's top priority now is finance, that is, money!

And this money hole is very big, it is impossible to improve it slowly, and it can only be rushed, once it is rushed, to that group of people, can it be collected from the lower fifth-class households?

Zhang Qi also means this, but the two have completely different ideas, Sima is just rejecting and opposing, Zhang Qi is worried, how tight this money is, he knows it in Gyeongju, but once he collects money, this turmoil can't be small.

"Brother Qianfu, you are too worried, that is what the big man has to do, and it has nothing to do with you and me."

"Zi'an, not necessarily, Zheng Baiqu will be completed soon, with the trust of the official family in you, you have to enter Beijing. It's okay for me to be there, how do you avoid it then? Zhang Qi joked.

"Brother Qianfu, I'm worried about this matter, do you have a good plan?"

"You really don't want to go in?" Zhang Qi was stunned.

"Not only do I not want to enter, but I don't even want to enter the capital."

"Will it be so strict?"

"It's the same as the state's debts, it's stricter than you think."

"How is it for a long time?"

"It's much more troublesome than the Qingli New Deal."

"Then it's better not to get involved," Zhang said. It may be said that later generations said that the Qingli New Deal of the conservative Duì Fan Zhongyan was suppressed, but it is not right to say this. After the Qingli War, the Song Dynasty also had terrible contradictions and financial pressures, but it was not as strict as it is now, and it was also temporary.

It's that pressure, Lu Yijian can't bear it, from this aspect, Han Qi is indeed too far away from Lu Yijian, he owes so much, and he is calm, that is really not something ordinary people can do.

So Lu Yijian let Xian, after all, Fan Zhongyan was too famous at that time, and Lu Yijian thought that Fan Zhongyan could make the country better. But at that time he was still in the capital. Cai Xiang and other gentlemen bit and insisted on letting go, forcing Lu Yijian to Luoyang. Otherwise, Lu Yijian would also play an advisory role, after all, Fan Zhongyan was the one he agreed to pull into the position.

Then the New Deal came. Some are in the right direction, such as Grace Luck. But it has to be implemented, how to do it specifically, and you can't shout slogans. As a result, I don't know what I did, where the gentleman and villain are just suppressing dissidents.

Therefore, Wang Ju's evaluation of Zhao Ji's nurse is not a nurse, but a Gu mother. Take a look, the more gentlemanly the more murderous. There is a gentleman in front of him. There are gentlemen such as Yuan Youshi and Sima Guang in the back.

Perhaps the gentleman in the eyes of these people is not a Confucian gentleman, but an American imperialist gentleman.

So there was Zhao Zhen five questions to Fan Zhongyan.

In fact, Fan Zhongyan and others went down, and no one suppressed them, Yan Shu was not very good, conservative, but his personality was generally mild, not to mention Zhang Dexiang and Du Yan. Otherwise, these people would not have thought about coming up later.

It's luck.

However, now it seems that the court is extremely cruel, including the punishment of Xue Xiang, but it is not a merit. People are always kind, but many ministers in the court hated to eat Xue Chong and the others alive, and Wang Ju killed several officials. Became a national thief. Is there such a thief who is loyal to the country?

Therefore, it may not be a good thing for Wang Ju to be involved.

"Can I refuse it?"

"As long as the official position given to me by the official family is not the inexplicable position of the judge of the third division, I am afraid that I will not be able to refuse it."

"That's a bit difficult...... Zhang Qi also couldn't think of any good way.

…………

"After this matter is over, it happens that the drain workers are busy, and the other soldiers are also busy with the summer harvest, you take the time to go to Huanzhou and Liyuan Fort to see where to go." Wang Ju said.

Forbidden soldiers**, Wang Ju can't control it, but he caught these twelve people. Then you have to deal with it, and you have to make an example. Maximize its effect.

Therefore, under the banner of gathering during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, more than 30 influential heroes in the north and dozens of Baojie military commanders were invited together. Banquets and entertainments. Of course, it also includes Miao Zhu, Wang Junwan and Yao Lin.

These three people definitely have military talents, especially Miao and Yao Lin, but there is a shortcoming at the moment, they have not gone through actual combat, and Huanzhou and Liyuanbao are not fighting now, but many soldiers have experienced the Dashun City War, and now there are two kinds, Yao Ji is here, they have taken a look and heard it in person, which can increase the relevant military experience.

"Okay." Miao replied.

It's been a long time, and I can't make sure that every soldier is familiar with it, but they all know each command, and most of them.

Anyway, it's boring to stay now, and I can't train the army, so it's better to go to Gyeongju.

"As for the issue of the armor, I'm already thinking of a way, if there are no accidents, after the spring next year, there will be armor distribution. Mainly with the instrument, supplemented by A. ”

"Zi'an, try to fight for us."

"There's no way around this, don't talk about the Baojie Army, even the forbidden soldiers are not all equipped with armor, and the armor that has been equipped, no more than half of them can be qualified." Wang Ju said unceremoniously. This is only a new recruit, and there are more than forty battalions of the original Baojie army, they are also untidy, and the profit of sucrose will be better than Zhao Ji thought, but it is impossible to replace so many Baojie armor together. How much does that cost?

"After the autumn, I may leave Zheng Baiqu, but I will cooperate with you to arrange this matter before leaving. The cost of armor is the cost of materials and losses, and the cost of labor. When the time comes, I will write to the imperial court, set up a workshop in Jingyang, and set up a workshop in the turbulent Jingshui, and then the imperial court will send craftsmen, and you had better draw three battalion officials from the Baojie army, and then study, apprenticeship and miscellaneous work. After the autumn, the scale will not be too large, hone it, and if you are skilled in your hands and feet next spring, it will be equivalent to half a qualified craftsman, and the speed of manufacturing armor will be improved, and it will also save a lot of costs. ”

"Zi'an, let's arrange this."

"Remember, secrecy."

"I know that the Western Xia attacked Wangjiazhai precisely for this technology."

"Wangjiazhai's hatred, I will let them repay tenfold!" Wang Ju snorted coldly: "Let's go out." ”

The people outside were almost there, and there was an uproar.

Wang Ju walked out, and more than a hundred people stood up together and said, "I've seen Ming Gong." ”

"Take a seat."

Sit down, everybody.

Wang Ju glanced at it and divided it into two groups, one group was the commander of each group, and the other group was the head of the family of the major giants.

Wang Juxian came to the front of the heroes and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the completion time of Zheng Baiqu is just around the corner, and the official doesn't say any nonsense, good and bad, you can see it with your own eyes, especially the changes in Jingyang." Jingyang's today is your tomorrow. Confucianism says moderation, and there are many similar proverbs among the people, such as further cliffs, taking a step back from the sea and the sky, stopping in moderation, and being content and happy. You are all among the richest people around, far richer than the average person. Unless you fight for wealth like the two fools like Wang Kai and Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty, you, including your descendants, will have no worries about food and clothing. Increasing 100 or 100 less is just a number for you, but for the poor people, one is survival and the other is a dead end. If you are a little relieved, the country's finances will be rich, the people will not at least starve to death, and the country will be safe, and then you, including your children and grandchildren, can continue to live this rich life. ”

"But the kingdom has decayed, and you will not be able to keep your property. I'll just make a simple analogy, the capital of the Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an, and this area also belonged to the Gyeonggi region in the Tang Dynasty, how many rich people were produced at that time, but where are they now? How many of you rely on the ancestral property of the Tang people to achieve what you are today? It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all, so I hope that when the fields are divided after autumn, you will not make things difficult for the official. ”

After finishing speaking, he came to the commanders again: "Standing here, this official is more happy, why, your salary is less than that of the forbidden soldiers, but all kinds of dirty things rarely happen, and the combat effectiveness is stronger." If you want to be promoted and get rich, you also want to be promoted, but remember, if you want to be promoted and get rich, you have to find a way to make your soldiers train stronger and more united only from your words, so that when you go to the battlefield, you will defeat the enemy, and with military merits, you can be promoted and rich. This is the right way, if you rely on the crooked door, I just want to say one thing, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, once you notice, it will not end well. ”

"Don't worry, Ming Gong," the commanders said, patting their chests.

Wang Ju pressed his hand, signaled them to be quiet, and said: "It is very likely that I will leave soon, but it doesn't matter, with General Miao here, I will continue to uphold justice like this official." We are all the same kind of people, not bad people, who will save people, and who will uphold justice. But we're not good people either, at least not rotten good people, so we also kill. Ladies and gentlemen, generals. As long as you don't break the law and discipline, the official is always welcome, just sit together to eat, drink and chat as you did today. But not abiding by the law and being insatiable is the fate of some people. Someone's coming, pull those people up. ”

The second eldest son dragged out the eight people who were instructed by Fang.

The remaining four were convicted of lesser crimes, and they were punished.

Wang Ju began to read out the guilt, and then said, "Drag it out and behead it." ”

Just outside the door, in front of everyone, the eight generals were stuck.

Some of them are so frightened that they are about to pee their pants.

Wang Ju wrote a report and handed it to the capital, Sima Guang went crazy, these two kings, the big king and the little king, none of them are good things. (To be continued)
