Chapter 881 Wu Dalang, the military aircraft III
This time, Li Zhong came from the palace. When he saw Wu Haogu, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Chongdao, do you know that the two governments have decided to submit a memorial to ensure that you have become the military commander of all the military capitals?"
"The two governments decided to agree?" Wu Haogu certainly knew the weight of the two governments' agreement. It seemed that the prime ministers were trying their best to block his charge of the Privy Council.
He frowned and asked, "What kind of official is the Dujun Jizhi? Is this a newly established mission?"
He thought to himself: This dispatch is definitely different from the military ministers of the Qing Dynasty. He should be the leader of military affairs, right?
Li Zhongdao: "The two governments decided to submit a memorial, proposing to establish a new yamen as the assistant minister of the emperor to coordinate the troops, called the Du Military Affairs Office, and the chief was the Du Military Affairs Office, and he wanted you to do it."
Wu Haogu thought to himself: Isn’t this the General Staff and the Chief of Staff? He looked at his dog-headed military advisor Zhao Jiaren.
Old man Zhao said: "Shishou, the power of Du Junji is not as good as knowing the affairs of the Privy Council. The affairs of the Privy Council are the prime ministers of the East Prefecture, but they are slightly lower than the prime ministers of the two provinces (referring to the left and right prime ministers). However, after all, Du Junji is a newly opened yamen and assists the emperor in the military. There is still something to do. The key is that Shuji has to seize the opportunity in front of him to ask for power and money, but if he misses it, he will be gone."
Wu Haogu understood what Zhao Jiaren meant. The two governments agreed to let Wu Haogu be the "Chief of General Staff", but in fact they were giving in to what the priests of the two governments did not want to see the least. It was probably that Wu Haogu entered the Privy Council! But they were not able to deal with a big deal about military training and military reform, so they simply packed it up and threw it to Wu Haogu.
For Wu Haogu, it would be a bit unreasonable to continue to squeeze into the Privy Council. However, he could not easily take over the orders of Du Junji.
Because this assignment is now the "Sage of the Monkey King", with a very big name, but it is still difficult to say how much real power is. Therefore, Wu Haogu must seize the opportunity of concessions between the two governments and demand money and power as much as possible. Otherwise, when he becomes a "military aircraft" and then he will be stuck by others, he will be passive.
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu said to Zhao Jiaren: "Old Zhao, go and talk to Ji Yizhi. Zhang Zhiping said with a word, and said that there was a summoning in the palace and he could not send him off."
Zhao Jiaren responded, stepped forward a few more steps, and leaned into Wu Haogu's ear and said, "The Head of State, the opportunity is rare, and the lion must speak." He thought for a while, "To accomplish things, one must have money; the other must have someone. The head of state should be able to transfer the income of Jiehe and Jingdong from Taifu Temple to Dujunjima, so that there will be money. As for people, you can place Jiehe Cavalry Academy and Kaifeng Quick Martial Arts under the Dujunjima. This way, not only does it lack talents for work, but you can also use the quota of two students to build a Kaifeng general. With money and people, plus the help of Kaifeng generals, you can finally accomplish something."
Wu Haogu nodded. Although Lao Zhao always failed the imperial examination, he has been wandering around the edge of the officialdom and has some experience in being an official. He pointed out the key in a few words, money and people must be held in his hands, otherwise the civil servants will be stuck sooner or later.
...
When Wu Haogu arrived in the palace, the emperor was practicing sketching in the Water Heart Hall in Jinming Pool. Zhao Ji has now obtained the true teachings of Wu Haogu. In terms of painting skills, he has long surpassed Wu Haogu who is busy with various affairs and neglected to practice.
Zhao Ji's sketch is Liang Shicheng, who presided over the Qingcheng Academy with Zhao Mingcheng. The Qingcheng Academy is now well-known, with Confucianism, literature, arithmetics, Investigation, biology, painting, calligraphy, music, astronomy, and construction. Among them, the four courses of Confucianism, literature, arithmetics, and investigation are based on the four courses of Confucianism, literature, arithmetics, and investigation. Painting, calligraphy, music, astronomy, construction and medicine are the specialties, and biology is also the professor of basic subjects such as medicine. In addition to four basic courses, students must choose one or two specialties to study.
After completing your studies, you can get the position of a savvy official by passing the exam, and of course you can also find your own way out.
In other words, this is a university that specializes in cultivating geniuses. Although it is not a Jinshi, it is also favored by Kaifeng Prefecture's middle and upper houses. It is also an official! And it can also learn the ability to settle down. Even if you can't become a geniuses, become a painter, a bookmaker, a doctor, a master, or a musician in a brothel business, the income is quite rich.
Moreover, Zhao Ji paid for the Qingcheng Academy, so students did not have to pay high tuition fees, so their popularity became even more popular. When the enrollment was recently, there were so many people outside the Qingcheng Palace. Today, Liang Shicheng came to report the enrollment situation to Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji pulled him away and dressed in a Qingtang wart armor and dressed as a general as a model.
Seeing Wu Haogu enter, Zhao Ji greeted him, "Dalang, come and show me how well this draft is?"
Wu Haogu arrived behind Zhao Ji and swept the drawing board, and he was no longer even more amazed.
This is talent!
He spent both life in elementary school painting, and he had more than 30 years of skill in his life, but he did not reach Zhao Ji's current level in his heyday, in fact, his painting skills at his heyday were not as good as Zhao Ji, but also not as good as Mi Youren, Zhang Zeduan and Du Wenyu, and even Zhang Zeduan's disciples Li Tang and Zhao Dainian (who were much older than Zhang Zeduan, but he still became a master).
"Your Majesty's painting skills are as good as a god, and I am ashamed of myself." Wu Hao Ancient Road.
Zhao Ji laughed and put down the lead in his hand, "Dalang, you are like Gao Qiu, there are too many things... A few days ago, I received a letter from him, complaining that he was full of mundane affairs every day and had no time to practice Cuju."
"Your Majesty, I and my eldest brother have more mundane affairs, so you have time to cultivate yourself and your character."
Zhao Ji waved his hand and asked Liang Shicheng to leave, then sat down on the chair behind the study desk of the Shuixin Palace, and pointed to a slash next to him, so that Wu Haogu'an could sit.
"Dalang, you and Gao Qiu are really my right-hand men now." Zhao Ji said, "The rules of this dynasty are superior to those of all dynasties. Only by using troops to win the Han and Tang dynasties. When I ascended the throne, I didn't have much hope. I just wanted to be the Emperor Taiping, but I didn't expect that you and Gao Qiu were so capable that they could pacify the Western thieves. Now you are here to preside over the military reform for me. If it succeeds, my Song Dynasty will be able to last forever!"
"Your Majesty is really a shame to the weak minister." Wu Haogu quickly stood up.
Zhao Ji waved his hand and signaled Wu Haogu to sit down. He said, "I trust you the most. Not to mention the affairs of the Privy Council, even Pingzhang's military and national affairs can be given to you. But those civil officials hate it very much. They can't destroy the ancestral system, so I have to deal with it slowly. This is too time-consuming. Why don't you start the military aircraft first and then be promoted to the Privy Council after you have made merit?"
I really didn't say this anymore. I clearly regarded Wu Haogu as a brother.
Wu Haogu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I want to know that the affairs of the Privy Council are also for the sake of power... After all, military training and military reform require great power. As for the name, I don't care."
"Okay!" Zhao Ji smiled, "If you want any power, just tell me."
Wu Haogu was not polite when he heard Zhao Ji's words, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am the leader of the empirical school and a military officer, which is difficult to tolerate by the scholars and officials. Therefore, the Dujun Magistrate, who was in charge of me, must have some wealth in my hands, otherwise the Ministry of Revenue will just kakame the neck of the minister, and I will not be able to do anything."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Ji nodded.
Wu Haogu continued: "So I want to subscribe the coastal establishment department under the Dujunji Department, so that the income of Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City can supply the expenses of Dujunji Department."
Two money-making Maritime Bureaus under the General Staff Department must be the military's business... However, there is nothing wrong with doing this in the feudal dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Dujunji Department did not directly do business, but used the income of the two Maritime Bureaus to supply the Dujunji Department and the military reform.
"Can Dujun Ji spend so much money?" Zhao Ji was shocked by Wu Haogu's proposal. Now the two markets have grown into money cows! The two markets paid more than 300,000 yuan in a year, plus the market tax collected on behalf of the market (including taxes, ship taxes, etc.), plus the operating income of the market department (both markets have their own business businesses, specializing in official import and export), it is no problem to pay 600,000 yuan a year to Taifu Temple. This is the result of Taifu Temple leaving it alone and paying money for any two markets. If you keep it a little harder, millions a year will not be a problem.
"Your Majesty, of course, the Dujun Autonomous Commander can't spend that much," Wu Haogu explained, "But I still want the Dujun Autonomous Commander to be in charge of military education.
The leader of the army is choosing generals, but choosing generals is not as good as raising generals. If there are thousands of good infantry and cavalry generals carved out of one mold, hundreds of thousands of soldiers can also be supported."
"Thousands?" Zhao Ji took a breath, "How is that possible?"
"Possible," Wu Haogu said with his fingers, "If we calculate that 4,000 officers will be raised in 10 years, it will be 400 people a year. Of course, if 400 people are raised, more than 400 people will be recruited into the school, at least 8001,000 people will be recruited."
Zhao Ji calculated, "Educated 800-1,000 people a year... It is almost the size of the Biyong Academy."
“It’s much bigger.”
"How could it be?" Zhao Ji didn't understand very much.
