Wang Ju immediately came to Liwon Fort, which is also one of the most important forts in Gyeongju Frontier and the most important fort in Huachi County, so two battalions of Zhenwu were stationed, one battalion of Fanluo, one battalion of Baojie, and the Fanluo Army was also a regular army, and the treatment was similar to that of the Baojie Army, and almost half of the troops stationed in Huachi County were gathered. ［

There was also a battalion of van troops in their service.

The scale of the Shaanxi Xiang Army is not small, with nearly 200 battalions.

So this redundant soldier made the people of Shaanxi sad.

There were more than 20 battalions of soldiers serving the front line in Gyeongju, but most of them were stationed in the rear, and only a few battalions stayed on the front line, including the battalion of Liwon Fort.

At the same time, he also asked the inspector Yao Ji to personally sit in this fort.

As soon as Wang Ju took office, he came to inspect it, and it was reasonable that Yao Ji took the horses of Liyuan Fort to bear it, and the capital prisoners, prisoners and commanders of each battalion all came out.

Wang Ju said politely: "I've seen Yao Inspector, as well as everyone." ”

Everyone made a noise, of course, there were curious people, and there were also contemptuous people, and welcomed Wang Ju into the castle. Everyone talked again, and Wang Ju said: "Yao Inspection, can we go out for a walk." ”

"Okay."

The two walked out. Liyuan Fort is also built next to Huachi Water, the top is Dashun City in front, and the side is the Xixia people's Xinjiang Ballast Fort, it is precisely because of this Xinjiang Ballast Fort, even if there is Dashun City in front of it, Liyuan Fort is not safe.

The two came to the Huachi River and sat down.

Wang Ju said: "Yao Inspection, before I came to Huachi, there were some big families in Yanzhou City who had a little relationship with me. ”

Yao Ji quietly listened to Wang Ju and said, the main thing is that Wang Ju is too young, otherwise everyone really has nothing to be proud of in front of Wang Ju, that is a second-class jinshi, can be called a Wenqu star, how expensive is it for literati in the Song Dynasty?

Yao Ji is not famous now, and he can't be arrogant either.

"This relationship, one is the kind of fine salt in Yanzhou, and the other is a new paper, so they are also worried about me. So my grandfather and the Zhu family promised me one thing, that they would buy 300 sheep and 200 pigs every month as food for the officers and soldiers of the 8th Battalion of Huachi. ”

"Oh," Yao's eyes lit up.

The Song Dynasty also provided some meat and vegetables to the officers and soldiers, but the quantity was very small, mostly ordinary grain and pickles, and the grain was mainly sorghum swallowed, and the amount of flour rice was also very small.

Three hundred sheep and two hundred pigs are nothing in Gyeongju, but in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the eight counties of Huachi, it is a great food. It is said that it is eight battalions, and the actual number of troops is only a little more than 3,000, and the soldiers can eat ten catties of meat every month after slaughtering! But his eyes darkened: "Wang Zhixian, that will cost a lot of money." ”

In the northwest, sheep are a little cheaper, but one head also has to be a consistent money, pork is cheap, but the pig is heavy, so one head has to cost nearly two yuan, that is, this is the only one, the so-called Zhu family and grandfather have to spend six or seven hundred yuan a month.

Two are well-intentioned and may support for a few months?

"It doesn't matter, although the money is large, the two families can afford it, but they have a request, which is to provide it six times a month, slaughter it in front of the steward they send, and let the soldiers eat it immediately, and take the rest of the sheepskins away, make them into blankets or jackets, and distribute them equally among the soldiers of each battalion."

In fact, this is to prevent the generals of each battalion from embezzlement, slaughtering them in front of them, letting the soldiers eat them, and then distributing the jackets and blankets on the spot, so that the generals of each battalion are not very greedy for ink, unless they are snatched from the hands of the soldiers. But Wang Ju is really jealous when he sits here? Moreover, he begged for the right to train troops from Sun Changqing.

Then, as long as it takes more than a year, the soldiers of each battalion will be able to keep up.

How can a weak body go into battle to kill the enemy?

Moreover, it is also very cold in the northwest in winter, and with clothes and covers, the soldiers will no longer be afraid of winter.

But this only solves part of the problem, the main one is the poor treatment. The well-born forbidden soldiers have all been guarded in the capital, and there is no need for rotation. The forbidden army of the Lun Garrison had poor backgrounds and even thinner salaries, and they often could only stay for a few months after returning to the capital, and they were separated from their families, wives and children, separated from more and less together, and worse, they did not have much salary. If you take care of your family, you can save a little bit of poverty and burden on your family's poverty by cutting back on food and clothing on the front line. If they don't care about their families, they have physical needs, there are military prostitutes in the army, and they gamble, and they don't have enough to spend, where can they take care of their families. Therefore, the more the family suffers in the back, the more bitter it becomes.

Therefore, the Song army is often like a robber, if the military discipline is lax, it will do all kinds of evil, or like the group of black bee thieves.

But with it, it's better than nothing.

Wang Ju said: "In addition, they also plan to send people to Fujian Road to buy 10,000 catties of cotton and transport them to Huachi, stuff them into jackets, so that the soldiers will no longer be trapped by the cold in winter." ”

"Cotton?"

"It's grass cotton."

It is mainly in the Western Regions, or Hainan, Liangguang also has, Fujian also has, the south is coarse wool, the fiber is short, weaving cloth is not easy, must be mixed with silk to weave cloth, to the cotton seed is very troublesome, so Fujian Road is still planted by very few people. However, the price is very expensive, 10,000 catties of cotton, including the purchase plus freight, may cost at least nearly 3,000 yuan.

But I don't know much about this Yao Ji, I only know that the two items brought by Wang Ju will benefit the officers and soldiers a lot.

Yao Ji was silent again, looking at Wang Ju.

It's not that simple, the two families have made so much money, what do they want to do?

"It's just the first step, there may be other support later, but you can take a look," Wang Ju handed the warrant written by Sun Changqing to Yao Ji.

"Training?"

"If these pigs and sheep come, after a month, the soldiers' health will be better and they can really train their soldiers."

Yao Ji understood, no wonder the two families would support so many pigs and sheep, this is for Wang Ju's political achievements, the soldiers are strong, with combat effectiveness, and with military achievements, Wang Ju will rise quickly. This doesn't matter, once there are military achievements, everyone will carry the sedan chair, not only Wang Ju has political achievements, but also his own military achievements. But the key is ......

"Wang Zhixian, if you want to train soldiers, it's not that simple."

Are you a good civil official, what kind of soldiers do you train?

"I have someone who can be in charge of training, of course, with him can't do it, and I also want to ask you for help." Wang Ju said. Li Sangou and Yao Ji's combination is enough to be competent for the training task, although he is a layman, he has some knowledge, and if the three of them are combined, then it will be a group of level combinations.

"That person?" Yao asked.

Wang Ju called Li Sangou over, and the three of them spoke for a long time, and finally Yao Ji and Li Sangou also broke their wrists, and then laughed, regardless of victory or defeat, both of them obeyed each other.

But the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and Li Sangou thought in his heart, a small inspection, actually has such arm strength.

Yao Ji is also thinking, although I am not famous, but my arm strength is brave and the champion of the three armies, a partial general of Western Xia, when I am about to be old and weak, my arm strength is actually like this, is it really tough to stump the people on the Western Xia side?

Wang Ju smiled slightly, the two convinced each other, and the next thing was easy.

…………

"Brother Hu, this Xinzhi County is so small." Xiang Ge said.

"Don't look at him as small, this person is not simple, although he is young, when he arrives in the castle, his face is free, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do it." Hu Qian said.

"He's the magistrate."

"Zhixian is also a human being," Qin Sandezi said.

said that there was murderous spirit in the army, that one was too mysterious, and it was among the Song army. However, there was also some solemnity in the barracks, and there were thousands of soldiers in armor.

"I don't know what he's going to do in Liyuan Castle?"

"He's the magistrate of Huachi, so he has to come and take a look." Hu Qian said.

"Brother Hu, not necessarily, not only looking, but also looking very carefully, I always feel that this person is not simple." Qin Sandezi said.

But even Qin Sandezi was witty, and he couldn't guess Wang Ju's intentions.

"I have also heard some rumors that this Xiaozhi County led more than 100 villagers to defeat more than 600 officers and soldiers who came to plunder in Western Xia when he was 14 years old."

"So violent?" Wu Kui said.

"Well, not only the martial arts are fierce, but the literary ones are also fierce, he went to Yunyan to apprentice, that Zhang Zai was unwilling to accept it, so he forcibly broke into the county government and said a lot of truths, Zhang Zai listened to it, and immediately accepted it as a protégé. I only studied with Zhang Zai for two years, and the first test became Xie Yuan, the second test became the third place in the provincial examination, and the third test became the second grade, and the ranking was still very high, eighth. ”

Qin Sandezi smacked his tongue at the same time with Xiang Ge and Wu Kui, and Qin Sandezi said after a long time: "Isn't it both civil and military?" ”

"You can say that. But the court finally used the right person this time. ”

"It would be nice if he could take down Commander Liu." Xiang Gedao.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to take down Liu's command, he is a county magistrate after all. It depends on whether he can see that Liu's ability is mediocre and insatiable, and then feedback to Sun Gong. But I'm a little worried, if this magistrate is really as amazing as the rumors, our incident ......."

The others are not afraid, they are afraid that the two murders will be leaked, Hu Qian looked at Wu Kui again and asked: "You went home a few days ago, did the government inquire about Zhang Kai?" ”

"Lin Zhixian asked, but Zhang Kai dealt with it easily, and Lin Zhixian didn't doubt it too much, asked less, and then let Zhang Kai go back."

"I have to lose Sandezi, if it wasn't for Sandezi's insistence that night, the Zhao family's valuables would be swept away, and Zhao's mother would have had money in her hands, and she could still buy the officials to check it."

Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky.

It's not that it can't be found, but whether the government wants to find out. If you don't want to, then even if there is an assassin case in the palace, it will not be solved, if you want, even if they do this case, they can still find out.

After Hu Qian finished speaking, he leaned on the fortress wall and looked out.

Yao Ji and Li Sangou compared their wrists, heroes cherish heroes, and they talk happily. Li Sangou said: "You are a man, some are buried." ”

"You're a man, too."

"I'm old, just mixing time, if it weren't for Wang Zhixian's repeated invitations, I wouldn't have come out. But Yao Patrol, your chance has come. Don't underestimate Wang Zhixian, there is nothing that can't be done in him, you will see one miracle after another. ”

"Don't praise each other or praise me, let's get down to business." Wang Judao.

Hu Qian naturally couldn't hear what they said, but he knew that Yao Ji was usually very arrogant, so he didn't think about it for a while, so he made this little magistrate hold his heart, and he kept laughing while talking. There is a good official that everyone likes, but Hu Qian said with a little sadness: "I hope this little magistrate county will not have too many troubles." ”

ps: Speaking of prices, the imperial court also gave money to buy horses because of the lack of horses in Guangrui and Fanluo, and gave 30 yuan for a horse, because the money was less and could not be bought, so it was promoted to a third-class horse that was given 35 yuan, and the money increased, and the grade of the horse declined, and the horse still couldn't buy a horse. It took Li Sheng, a medical worker, one hundred and fifty yuan to buy back Pi Liangju. But the price of inferior horses is cheap, and the Japanese monk Cheng Xun spent nineteen yuan in Kaifeng, plus a tax of eight hundred and fifteen yuan, to buy two horses, which are bad horses and have nothing to do with war horses. Yuanfeng should have gotten the price of Xi Hippo cheaper, but Wang Anshi's sad horse protection method came. Originally, the Khitan horses in the north were cheap, only 20 guan, but they rose to 100 guan. The imperial court has repeatedly forced it to suppress it with low prices, but it has never been able to suppress it. It may or may not be written later.

The price of cattle is also rising, at first it was three runs, then in five runs, and in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it rose to seven runs, or even ten runs. This is an abnormal price, if you kill cattle for meat, it will be dozens of times.

Donkeys are more expensive than oxen, about ten times, and mules are more expensive.

The sheep are three times in the capital, and the official price in the northwest is 500 Wen, but this is the official price, and the market price has always been around.

Pigs are the cheapest, a pig at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty is only worth the same money, but the price of the rule has risen, and then a piglet that has been raised for a few months will always have more money, so it is about more than two runs, and the northwest is slightly cheaper, less than two runs.
