Although An Tao and Lu Wangzhi were a little bit sinister by Wu Haogu, they were not stupid, otherwise why would they become such a high-ranking official?

They knew that such a bad trick could not have been thought of by two honest people, Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli. It must have been done by Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an, three lucky villains.

Only villains will come up with a treacherous plan!

The best way to break the villain's trick is of course to kill the villain. As long as the villain dies or gets out of here, even if the villain succeeds, it will not cause much harm.

But Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an are very popular among the officials, and it is not easy to kill them.

Moreover, among the three villains, except for Pan Xiao'an, who is still in Kaifeng Prefecture, the rest of the two have gone to Cangzhou to do business. If An Tao and Lu Jiawen were only exerting force in Kaifeng Prefecture, it would seem a bit out of reach.

So tomorrow, Lu Yihao, who was about to set off north to Cangzhou, was called to Lu Jiawen's mansion.

"You two are good men who call out outside Donghua Gate, and they are both civil and military, and they are the pillars of the country's future."

An Tao first praised the two young officials in front of him. In fact, it was not entirely a boast. Ji Yi and Lu Yihao, who were both civil and military officials in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because Ji Yi was from Pingjiang, he was a little worse than riding, but he was good at dancing and shooting arrows, and he was familiar with military formation diagrams. Lu Yihao was a little stronger than Ji Yi. He grew up in both northwest since childhood. Not only did he read well, but he was also good at saddle horse archery and swords. He was a real civil and military genius.

An Tao looked at the two "civil and military talents" and paused, "You are all familiar with history, and they are quite insightful about the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. You should understand that martial arts are so good. What Gao Qiu and the other two did in Cangzhou will surely corrupt the family rules of our dynasty!"

Ji Yi and Lu Yihao were both wise men, so they naturally understood what An Tao said. The "knight in front of the palace" she did was actually a variant of the guards of the inner palace in the early Tang Dynasty. The system was more perfect and easier to maintain, and had as many as 1,500 acres of vocational land.

Although there are only 500-1,000 places now, once the "Knights in the Palace" system is implemented properly, it will be inevitable that the court will have available troops and expansion will be inevitable.

1,500 acres of land plus the treatment of imperial prefectures is very attractive to the nobles of the generals and families in Kaifeng Prefecture. If you allow it to expand, it is possible to reach 5,000 or even 10,000 in the future... It is 15 million acres of land at the top of the sky. Can't you really take it out? In fact, it's all right to paste the land of the Qunmusi Department.

Once there are 10,000 knights' houses, the knights will be a political force that cannot be ignored. They have strong economic strength and are in harmony with the nobles of the generals.

By then, the martial artists would be rich, soldiers, and from a background, and be close to the emperor... The family rules of the ancestors who used literature to control martial arts would become a piece of waste paper!

After understanding An Tao's meaning, Ji Yi immediately expressed his opinion: "What the Privy Councilor said is very true. When he goes to Cangzhou, he will definitely try every means to destroy Wu Haogu's treacherous plan."

He had already accepted the same task, so the protagonist of today's night party was not him, but Lu Yihao.

Lu Yihao did not agree immediately, but asked An Tao: "In the mind of Privy Council, what kind of soldiers are the best?"

"The best one is of course the village soldier." An Tao answered a little embarrassedly with his beard.

Because the suggestion of "Practice of the Mansion Soldiers" was actually proposed by Wu Haogu. Although Wu Haogu is not named, it was published in Wu Haogu's "Wenquxing" magazine. Who doesn't know that it means Wu Haogu?

Before the suggestion of "Practice of the Mansion Army" appeared, both An Tao and Zeng Bu were optimistic about the route of the Military and Education Department, that is, to train basic officers and mercenaries.

"Where does Privy Council want to practice the law of the village soldiers?" Lu Yihao asked again.

This is a problem. Fan Zhongyan wanted to build a military force in the capital back then, but he attracted unanimous opposition.

Therefore, Zeng Bu and An Tao repeatedly discussed these days, and felt that they could not practice the government soldiers around Kaifeng Prefecture, but there was no direction for where to practice it.

"Yuan Zhi," An Tao asked, "Where do you think it is better to try the method of the military in the palace?"

"Xiaguan thinks that the trial behavior in Lantian County, Jingzhao Prefecture is the best," said Lu Yihao.

An Tao asked: "Is it because of the "Lantian Lu Family Township Agreement"?"

"That's right." Lu Yihao held the beard under his jaw, "The officials thought that the law of the government soldiers must be implemented in a simple and virtuous place of the people, so that they can succeed. Therefore, Lantian County under Jingzhao Prefecture is the best place of implementation. If Lantian County, which formulated the "Lantian Lu Family Township Agreement", cannot even deal with the government soldiers, then where can the government soldiers be implemented in the whole world?"

The Lu family in Lantian and Lu Yihao and Lu Jia asked, but they had no relationship with each other, but a famous old party that had already weakened. Although Jingzhao Mansion belongs to the Yongxing Army Road, one of the six routes in Shaanxi, it has always been a territory with a relatively large force in the old party because it is not on the front line.

The reason why Lu Yihao chose the territory of the old party to try the government soldiers was of course not to strengthen the strength of the old party. However, although both the new and old parties in the court unanimously praised the government soldiers system, no one wanted to build government soldiers in their hometown... The government soldiers system is good, but it will eventually affect the local literary style.

Because the soldiers of the government always need to withdraw from the middle and upper-class families, these people should have gone to study and progress. If they are trapped by the military service of the government, the prefectures and counties that will be able to test the military service in the future will inevitably have many Jinshi missing.

If anyone advocated the trial of the military in his hometown, wouldn’t it be like harming the countryside? The ancients were unwilling to do such a thing.

So there was a dilemma in the court that everyone agreed to be a military system, but there was no place to try it out.

Now that An Tao heard what Lu Yihao said, he felt that there was a reasonable reason and asked Lantian County to experiment.

"Okay, just as you said." An Tao, who had long felt that he was not energetic, yawned and said softly: "Yuanzhi, Zeng Jiaogong and I arranged for you to go to Cangzhou to stop the knight's law from the great business... We must never let Wu Haogu buy a large area of ​​land easily, and we must pay attention to his every move. If he has bad records, report it to me and Zeng Jiaogong immediately. Do you understand?"

After hearing these words, Ji Yi secretly slapped her lips. Wu Haogu's braid would be so easy to pull... Although that guy can accept bribes, it is not a sin within the standard.

Moreover, while others make 100,000 and 200,000, they can offer one million or two million to the official family... It would be no mistake to make a little profit like this!

...

Just as Lu Yihao and Ji Yi left Kaifeng Prefecture and headed towards Qingchi County, where Cangzhou Prefecture was located, Wu Haogu also took Gao Qiu, Oliga and others, led by Lin Wancheng, and left Jiehe Commercial City.

What they were going to leave the market was a demonstration knight manor, which was 17 or 8 miles away from the south gate of Jiehe Market. Wu Haogu wrote to Huang Silang and Zhang Xizai who stayed in Jiehe Market last winter, ordering them to enclose 1,500 acres of fertile grassland in the land they purchased and build the manor.

The land here in Beicangzhou is probably the most desolate on the entire Hebei East Road. From the border river, you can't see a village for dozens of miles. Large areas of land are wrapped into pastures by Hebei General Gate (actually the branch of Kaifeng General Gate) to raise cattle, sheep and horses. About a quarter of the mutton consumed in Kaifeng Prefecture was transported from Cangzhou.

Because the land is barren and the population is sparse, it is not difficult to acquire it. Moreover, once it acquires a continuous piece of land, it is not difficult to enclose a Knights Manor.

But the Knights Manor is not a good thing if you enclose the land. With land, you have to manage it properly to support a knight family.

Although there are quite a lot of land in 1,500 acres, a knight family is also not small!

On the way to this Zhuangzi named "Aojiazhuang", Wu Haogu was talking about his ideas to Gao Qiu.

"This Knight Manor is not just a matter of just 1 cent of the field. It also has to help others run it, otherwise the manor will go bankrupt or be subcontracted to get over."

"Dalang, do you still know how to farm?"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "I don't understand farming, but Bai Bowu's family has experts. I have asked questions... People who know the knowledge said that in places where water is not scarce in the north, it is best to rotate grass fields. It means dividing the fields into three parts, one part planting forage, one part planting wheat, and one part planting beans, and it will be rotated in two to three years.

Oliga, isn't your Europa the same?"

"This is called the Three Gardens system," said Oliga. "This is usually the case with large estates."

Wu Haogu also said: "This farming method can produce grain, raise horses and sheep, and restore the land's power. It is the most suitable for the Knights Manor. In fact, the land of the herds prison can also be done in this way, which is much better than planting grass and grazing like now."

Gao Qiu smiled: "The Crown of the Peasant Prison is a mud pit... You are going to fall into it, so I won't follow you."

"Mud pit?" Wu Haogu hummed, "It's just a land without a master... it's still a fat field, of course everyone is coveting."

Sanpu rotation actually exists in China. In "Qimin Yaoshu", the method of rotating beans, hemps and forage grass Sanpu rotation was proposed. However, this kind of rotation was rare in the Northern Song Dynasty. There were few large farmers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and horse farming was almost extinct, and the people did not have much demand for horses. Therefore, the farming method that combines agriculture and animal husbandry is no longer applicable.
