Chapter 480 Room slave nine
Now it's going to be Xuanma!
Finally got through!
My own abilities can finally be used to the Song Dynasty!
Cai Jing was so happy... Although he saw the "countermeasures" sent by Wu Haogu, he knew that this luck was so bad that An Tao and Lu Jia asked.
But those two guys are not good people. They have been stubborn in Kaifeng Prefecture for so long, and they have never come to help as a member of the party. With such a person, they deserve to be demoted to Tianya Town, Haizhou! They are not a member of Cai at all. Wu Haogu is really a member of the party!
Previously, Wu Haogu arranged for his son to enter the Xiyuan Construction Center, and now he has given his own immortal trick to proclaim mahjong to the prime minister... He is so friends!
"Brother Chongdao," Cai Jing put down the Chen note written by Wu Haogu in his hand, and his round face had already smiled into a ball, "From now on, you and I will be friends...!"
Wu Haogu's level has been improved! In the past, it was the scraps of Cai Jing's party, but now it has been upgraded to a party. If there are any "n thieves", Wu Haogu will probably be among them.
Wu Haogu was not polite, and smiled to the end, "Then I will call you Elder Yuan in the future."
"Okay, okay." Cai Jing smiled to the end. As long as he could be the prime minister, let alone be Wu Haogu's brother, he could even call Wu Haogu the eldest brother!
"Chongdao," Cai Jing smiled, "Lu Wangzhi may not be able to demolish any barracks in Kaifeng Mansion?"
"It's not easy to dismantle..." Wu Haogu smiled, "But there is no way."
Isn’t it just demolition? Lu Jia asked, there was no way, but Wu Haogu had a way. Wu Haogu was a military officer, and he also had friends in the imperial guards. And how could the efficiency of Wanjia Real Estate Bank be comparable to that of the store and housekeeping business?
"If the store and housekeeping business are not done well," Cai Jing looked at Wu Haogu, "Can you take over the mess?"
"Yes!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I have a way... Brother Yuan, don't worry."
"Okay!" Cai Jing stroked the hand, "I will write the memorial today and hand it over tomorrow."
He paused, "There is another thing, I have to tell you. An Tao and Lu Jiawen have arranged for the censor to impeach you."
"Is that true?" Wu Haogu asked with a smile, "Does Brother Yuan know that they are going to impeach me for the most serious crime?"
"Shan Yao National Body."
Cai Jing really knew, "The bulletin seal was issued by Zhang Kegong, the Censor's Office, and it will probably be handed over tomorrow."
"Shan Yao Guo's foundation?" Wu Haogu didn't understand very well, "How did this charge be made? Selling a house also affects the capital?"
Cai Jing smiled and said, "If you take bribes and make money, you will be saved by handing them on the bullet stamp. You don't even have the chance to discuss it in Chongzheng Hall, so you have to be accused of being a bigger crime."
That's right, Song Huizong didn't care about Wu Haogu making money. Moreover, Wu Haogu was not alone, and he also helped Song Huizong make money. What's the use of staking Wu Haogu making money? Not to mention a censor's censor's Mid-Censor's Mid-Censor Zhao Tingzhi would be useless to come forward.
However, selling the house caused a commotion between the imperial guards and soldiers, and the fundamental crime of shaking the country was a serious crime! Even if Song Huizong was looking at Wu Haogu, he had to take it out and ask.
As long as the Chongzheng Palace discusses this matter, Zeng Bu, An Tao, Zhao Tingzhi, and Lu Jia ask them, they can criticize and fight martial arts together.
Cai Jing said again: "But they are not going to join the Censorate Prison, they just want to grab the real estate transactions in Kaifeng Prefecture."
This is of course. It is impossible to fight the martial arts well in ancient times, because there are the Imperial City Division, the Kaifeng Prefecture, the Three Yamen Division, the Hemen Division, etc. Song Huizong was not a blind man or a deaf man.
However, Zeng Bu, An Tao, Zhao Tingzhi, and Lu Jia asked them that they could still propose to suspend private operation of large real estate projects in Kaifeng Prefecture City.
It is not necessary to ban it forever, it is just a suspension, then the truth is found out and regulations are formulated... Of course, the rules are determined by the peace and security case of the Taifu Temple.
It is completely in line with the status of merchants doing business and the government setting rules. It is not easy for Song Huizong to stop him, right?
Once these things are handed over to Taifu Temple, Wu Haogu will have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horses to develop new real estate projects in Kaifeng Prefecture.
...
It was noon on the turn of the day. Today was the day when Ji Yi got the right one. He tidied up his clothes. Under the guidance of a Xuanzansen Sect, when he walked into Chongzheng Hall, he suddenly thought to himself: Wu Haogu must come here often now, right? Most of the time, there is no need for the Hemen Office to arrange an interview, and he can come in directly... He has a dispatch with imperial equipment!
Deep inside the Chongzheng Hall, Song Huizong, wearing regular clothes, sat behind the case, looking at Ji Yi, the loyal minister of the late emperor Zhezong.
It's not right. He is not a loyal minister. He betrayed Zhang Dun and is still a recurring villain. Zhang Dun is a loyal minister.
Ji Yi followed the rules and bowed. Zhao Ji sighed softly: "Ji Yi, I have read your suggestions, and my idea is good. It is also in line with the rules of the ancestors. It is just that each warrior has a 200 yuan a year, but it is not cheap! Although the sale of official land in Kaifeng Prefecture can have some extra income, selling one piece of land is not a long-term solution."
It’s not a long-term solution, but it’s actually secondary. The main problem is... Song Huizong has to spend the money he sells for the land himself!
"Your Majesty can raise money by cutting the posts of the Imperial Guards." Ji Yi said, "Now, one member of the Imperial Guards will spend 50 yuan a year. If the expenses of the warriors in front of the palace are calculated at 200 yuan, the 4 Imperial Guards will be cut off and one warrior can be hired."
He was very clear about it, and it was the idea of most civil officials. There must be a brave man under heavy rewards! As long as he is willing to spend money, he is afraid that he will not be able to hire a warrior like Wei Wuzhu?
However, if you want to ask Ximen Qing this, it must be a joke. Because warriors were very scarce in the Song Dynasty. Now they are not in the Warring States Period, nor in the Han and Tang Dynasties. They are the Song Dynasty where "the Five Classics are read diligently at the window". The children of landlords and rich peasants who have the conditions to be warriors have all gone to read the Five Classics, but they can't become warriors. Even if there are a few warriors who have not read books and become scholars, they must have earned more than 200 yuan a year to make a living!
Moreover, those warriors who run to fight in the world and those who fight hard battles are not the same concept. Those who fight hard battles are heavy infantry. According to the records of "Xunzi. Military Proposal": the military soldiers of Wei took them with their own strength, posed for three genus armor, carried twelve stone crossbows, carried fifty arrows, placed on them, and had a cap and a helmet with swords, and won three days of food, and went to a hundred miles a day.
The court wanted to hire such a warrior in 200 years. Isn’t this a dream?
"But if so many imperial guards are cut off, it may cause chaos, right?"
Zhao Ji didn't expect that the warriors were already extinct. He only thought that the old soldiers of the imperial guards were not very easy to slaughter the Song Dynasty. Although he valued culture and neglected military forces, he was well versed in the knowledge of raising soldiers. This was different from the later Ming Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was actually a dynasty established by mercenaries, so he naturally knew the principle of raising soldiers. He only raised soldiers into waste, but never raised soldiers into beggars...
The Song Dynasty court has always been cautious about disarmament. However, it was not that it had been laid off, so Wang Anshi laid off a lot.
"Your Majesty, warriors are rare. It would be good to recruit two thousand a year." Ji Yi also knew that there were fewer warriors. "It is almost enough to reduce the country's 8,000 imperial guards a year. Now the country has 500,000 imperial guards, and those who die of old age or illness every year may have 20,000. In the future, you only need to recruit 12,000 yuan a year. Wouldn't you save money from raising the warriors in front of the palace?"
It seems to make some sense!
Zhao Jixin calculated that if one soldier had been in the army for 25 years and recruited 2,000 elite soldiers and 12,000 ordinary imperial guards a year, then there will be 50,000 elite soldiers and 300,000 ordinary imperial guards in the future. Among these 300,000 imperial guards, at least 50,000 elite soldiers in the Western Army are also available.
In other words, of the 350,000 imperial guards, at least 100,000 are available!
"Ji Yi," Zhao Ji thought for a while, and asked again, "Do you know the discussion between the knights in front of the palace and the village soldiers?"
“Know some.”
Because of the "Knights in front of the Palace" incident, the issue of military system reform has become popular recently. From time to time, some officials who are not very good at writing articles have made suggestions to Song Huizong. Most of them oppose the "Knights in front of the Palace", and a knight has 1,500 acres of land! Why did they give so many fields to those martial artists? How can this hero who is called "Knights in front of the Palace" not beat his chest and stamp his feet?
In addition, some officials believed that the knights in front of the palace followed the path of honors from the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was easy to develop power and was not conducive to the stability of the country.
However, while opposing the nobles of Guanlong in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, everyone also highly praised the rural soldiers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is, the government soldiers. They believed that developing rural soldiers was a good prescription for solving the weak soldiers of the Song Dynasty and the huge expense of raising soldiers.
Most of the officials who wrote to the books were optimistic about the country soldiers who did not participate in the nobles and gentry... Of course, there was no equal land.
"Ji Yi, what do you think?" Zhao Ji asked.
"Your Majesty," Ji Yi replied, "I think there should be too many knights. On the one hand, there is no land to divide it; on the other hand, it is easy to make warriors bigger, just like Guanlong in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the past."
Zhao Ji nodded. Guanlong nobles had established three dynasties...
"As for the rural soldiers," Ji Yi paused, "The Baojia Law implemented by the imperial court is very good now. However, it is not feasible to have Baoding act as a war soldier. After all, training and preparing for war is huge, and it is impossible to rely on the rural soldiers themselves."
"So," Zhao Ji said, thinking, "The best way is to rectify the imperial guards and expand the squad?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Ji Yi said, "Now the country's military system is decided by our ancestors. It can only be changed slightly, not big changes."
"Where is the Military Academy?" Zhao Ji asked again, "Many ministers said they should be retained, and some said they should be incorporated into martial arts. What do you think?"
This is already a distraction. Zhao Ji asked Ji Yi, which showed that he believed in his abilities.
