"That guy just now is really Zong Ze?"

"Yes! He was a good friend I met when I was studying abroad in my early years. He was a Jinshi in Yuanyou for six years. Although he was only from the fifth grade, he had real talents and knowledge."

"Will he report his work or become an official when he comes to Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"His position as a magistrate of Longyou is over, and he will be selected by the Kaifeng Prefecture."

"What are you going?"

"No, it's so fast... Dongmen, why do you ask if you want to arrange it for him?"

"No problem... I can arrange for him a escort to the Liao Kingdom."

At the dinner table at Shi Guozhong's family, Wu Haogu and Old Man Shi first talked about Zong Ze. This is "Grandpa Zong". "Grandpa Zong" actually has close friends with Old Man Shi, a fox, who is a fox. This is really surprising.

"Can you really arrange a chance to enlist Liao?" Shi Guozhong looked at Wu Haogu hesitantly.

Although Liao was a temporary assignment, it was easy for officials to show off. Especially at Zong Ze's level, the magistrate of Beijing's official power has a good official operation, and most of them are appreciated and promoted by big bosses (he was promoted by Lu Huiqing). If there was a chance, it might soar into the sky.

"There will be a chance soon," Wu Haogu said in a low voice, "I just received the secret report from the Northern Kingdom. The Liao lord died. His grandson Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne. As usual, the court would send congratulatory envoys."

Shi Guozhong was surprised, "The news from the East Gate is so well-informed!"

"Xuande," Wu Haogu paused, "When the Liao Dynasty's mercy envoy arrived, you and I had to set off north."

Does this matter? Shi Guozhong was a little confused after hearing Wu Haogu's words.

Wu Haogu had no intention of solving the problem, but just smiled and said, "Does Xuande know why the official family handed over the position of governing Cangzhou to you?"

Shi Guozhong gently turned the wine glass in his hand and smiled, "I think it was Dongmen who said good things to me?"

"I can't say good things," Wu Haogudao, "I just asked the officials to know that Xuande, you are also a disciple of Mr. Dongpo."

Dongpo Gate? Shi Guozhong said sincerely: When did he enter Dongpo Gate? If he really had a visit to Su Dongpo, he would have been kicked to somewhere to be an editor...

Shi Guozhong smiled and said, "I dare not call myself under the school of Dongpo, but I just learned a little about Su's knowledge."

"That's the disciple!" Wu Haogu paused, looked at Shi Guozhong who looked a little "rustic" and said with a smile: "So I want to ask Mr. Born (Old Man Shi's font size) to serve as the Siye of Jiehe Yuntai Branch."

"Jiehe Yuntai Branch? Si Ye?" Shi Guozhong was confused when he heard this. Is Yuntai Branch an academy? What does it have to do with Yuntai Academy? Si Ye... is this a vocational official?

"Yuntai Branch is the branch of Yuntai Academy," Wu Haogu explained, "but it is not an official school on the surface. Siye is the head of the branch. He borrowed the title of a school official, but he is not an official. However... the salary he received is much higher than that of Siye in the Imperial College and Yuntai Academy! He is given 500 yuan a month."

500 yuan a month, 6,000 yuan a year! Although the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty is very high, the monthly income of 500 yuan is not a small amount. The salary of officials of third-rank rank is just this amount!

"This, this..." Shi Guozhong was a little nervous, "Isn't this right?"

Most officials in the Song Dynasty had part-time jobs, but they served as the "dean" of a private academy and even took 6,000 yuan a year to pay for others. It seems like they are taking bribes! Will the censor be impeached?

"Okay!" Wu Haogu waved his hand, "The official will issue an order to be the academy and officials."

The imperial edict is an edict issued directly from the palace without passing through the ministry of the Central Secretariat.

"Is there an order?" Shi Guozhong's eyes turned, "Then what Your Majesty means..."

"I am always for the country and the people. I will tell you when I arrive in Cangzhou." Wu Hao Gu's ancient road, "Xuande, if you have the order, will you do it?"

"Do it, do it!" Shi Guozhong immediately patted his chest, "Since Your Majesty has the order and is for the country and the people, then I will do my best!"

"Okay!" Wu Haogu smiled and found a stack of personal friends. "Xuande, this is the monthly salary of the academy for the first year. From the first lunar month to the end of the year, there are a total of 12 months, 6,000 yuan in total. Please accept it with a smile."

It's February now, and when Shi Guozhong arrives at Jiehe, it will be March at the earliest. However, Wu Haogu gave him a monthly salary throughout the year, and paid for one year at a time...

This is a bribe!

Shi Guozhong looked at the thick stack of personal friends on the table and understood in his heart... Wu Haogu really put money in himself!

Moreover... this bribe cannot be refused! Because it has a "order", if you don't accept it, you will resist it! You are a loyal minister, how can you resist it? So you can only accept it reluctantly.

"Oh, oh, then, thank you for the East Gate." The loyal minister Shi Guozhong bowed, and without hesitation, he smiled and put away his 6,000-tonne personal friend.

After receiving the money, he took over the position of the Jiehe Branch of Yuntai Academy... that was his own person.

Wu Haogu smiled, "Mr. Bourne, I have something to ask for advice."

"Don't call me sir," Shi Guozhong waved his hands repeatedly, "You and I are not as good as brothers."

Wu Haogu is not polite either, "That's Brother Bourne."

"Brother Chong Dao," Shi Guozhong smiled, "You must be asking Lu Jia what to do to you, right?"

It's true that there is something tricky.

"Please give me advice."

Shi Guozhong thought for a while and said, "Actually, I can't guess what he wants to mess with you, brother."

What? Don’t know? Wu Haogu was a little disappointed.

"But I know how you should deal with him in the East Gate!"

Just as Lu Jia asked, Wu Haogu shook his head, "He is the Minister of Taifu Temple!"

For such an official, I am afraid that it will not work to slander Song Huizong?

"So what's wrong with the Taifu Temple Master?" Shi Guozhong smiled, "He has taken on a hot job now."

"Is it half of Duting Station?"

"This is not hot enough," said Shi Guozhong. "Don't underestimate him. In fact, he still has some tricks... Half of Dutingyi can fool you. If you want him to step down early, you have to add some more codes."

“How to add?”

"Let the shop and house officials build houses for the elite imperial guards."

"I'll send it for free if I've covered it?"

Shi Guozhong smiled, "I am afraid that I will be reluctant to give it to the government for free, so I should sell it at a discount... I can ask the store and housekeeper to demolish a barracks in the north of the city, and then build hundreds of buildings and sell them to the elites in the imperial guards at a low price."

"Demolition of the barracks?" Wu Haogu sneered, "There are people living in the barracks, and they are the territory of the imperial guards. How could he be so easy to demolish them?"

Shi Guozhong smiled and said, "Lu Wangzhi is a capable official, and there must be a way... By the way, isn't the imperial court going to choose the knights in front of the palace recently? Why not take out a few houses with 2,000 or 3,000 yards and choose some warriors in the Kaifeng Imperial Army."

"Send a house?"

"You can use the house as a prize."

"Price? Who are you awarded?"

"You can have a martial arts competition and select the soldiers... The top few people are selected in front of the hall and will be rewarded with one house! Those with the lowest rankings can also get a house before entering the hall, but they will be paid in installments."

Pay in installments? Isn’t this a house slave in front of the palace? At that time, the landlord knight in front of Zhao Ji is the landlord knight, and the house slave warrior on the other side...

This man surnamed Shi is really unethical and smoked!

But it is indeed a good idea!

6000 flowers are worth it.

"Okay, okay!" Wu Haogu smiled and said, "It's better that brother has a way! I'll write a memorial to the official when I go back."

"Brother, you can't write it." Shi Guozhong quickly reminded, "You wrote it, Zeng Bu, An Tao, and Lu Jiawen will you be fooled?"

"Then, then please ask Mr. Han to propose?"

Han Zhongyan, you can also invite him? Shi Guozhong was very happy this time, but he found the organization! The emperor's decree, the husband's memorial... whatever he wants! This is the real treacherous party, oh, it is the loyal party!

"No, no." Shi Guozhong suppressed the joy in his heart, "You can't let Mr. Han come forward, Mr. Han and Mr. Lu Jiawen are against each other."

"Who will come?"

"I think... let Mr. Cai report the memorial, you have a good relationship with Mr. Cai, right?" Shi Guozhong said, "Let Mr. Cai report the memorial. Isn't he unwilling to go to Jiangning now? Then he will definitely offer advice. As long as the official uses his strategy, Jiangning will not have to go, and maybe he can still prosper."

"Okay! Great solution!" Wu Haogu laughed, "I'll go to find Mr. Cai and ask him to come forward to provide advice!"

He said he would go to find Cai Jing immediately, but it was already the next morning when Wu Haogu really saw Cai Jing.

Because Shi Guozhong’s ideas given to him were not detailed enough and lacked operability, it is easy to make mistakes by directly giving them to Cai Jing.

So Wu Haogu spent the afternoon at home thinking, perfecting it, and then giving Cai Jing a draft.

First, Wu Haogu expanded and upgraded the method of "selecting talents by houses" issued by Shi Guozhong, and did not choose immediately... You can announce it first, and then give a one-and-a-half-year to two-year "training period" and then compete.

Now most of the Kaifeng Imperial Army officers and soldiers don’t train much all year round, and they don’t have the motivation to train! So what if you practice well? It’s just that the officials are happy to give you a few small money when they see it. Compared to the hard work of practicing martial arts, they are still learning craftsmanship... The Lin family’s father and son are just a bloody lesson! If they hadn’t followed Wu Haogu, Lin Chong would still be a bachelor!

So Wu Haogu decided to use the method of rewarding the house to encourage some of the imperial guards to train hard, and if they are trained well, they will give them to the house! Then don’t you practice hard!

Moreover, the competition for house delivery cannot be held only once, and you will have to compete every year in the future! The top ten people will be given houses, and the top 11 to the top 100 can be given a discount and additional installments. In addition, the top 200 people will be selected to be directly used as heavy armored infantry cavalry. They cannot rely on the city soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture, and must be the manor knights.
