It is said that a scholar dies for the one who knows himself. This is probably the feeling.
After Yang Wenguang sent Su Shi out of the palace and watched him get on the Su family's carriage and leave, he turned around and headed towards the preparation camp of the Forbidden Army. He wanted to pick troops, and he also needed to pick good soldiers.
The Preparatory Camp of the Forbidden Army, as the cradle of the Forbidden Army, is stationed in the outer city just like the Forbidden Army.
After Yang Wenguang appeared here, the first person he found was his friend Hu Yanqing (the plot requires it, so don’t consider his age in history. In fact, this person only appeared in the novel. It still needs to be verified whether he really exists. Mo
spray!).
Hu Yanqing was born in Taiyuan, Bingzhou (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province), the son of Hu Yan Shouyong, and the great-grandson of Hu Yanzan.
He is a tiger-headed man, tall and very burly.
Although he is only in his twenties, he has good martial arts skills. The most important thing is that he has been influenced by his family environment and has studied the methods of leading troops in battle formations.
This is already Hu Yanqing's fourth year in the Forbidden Army Preparatory Camp. Normally, he can become a real member of the Forbidden Army by the end of next year.
It takes five years of preparation before you can join the Forbidden Army. This is one of the reasons why the Forbidden Army is so powerful.
However, this rule still existed, but in the middle and later periods of Zhao Zhen's reign, because money and food could not be allocated in time, the morale of the army gradually began to scatter. By the time of his grandson Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the Forbidden Army had little combat effectiveness and was reduced to the private use of many ministers.
After the Jin people came to kill them, they had no fighting power at all, and they were completely destroyed.
The current reserves of the Forbidden Army are still very strong. When Yang Wenguang saw Hu Yanqing in the military camp, this man with a tiger-headed and honest-looking appearance was
He said, "Brother Yang, why are you free to come here today? Are you off duty?"
"No, I came here to tell you something important." Yang Wenguang said with joy.
"What's the big deal? Could it be that my sister-in-law has another baby?" Hu Yanqing said as if he knew what was going on.
"It's much bigger than this. Listen carefully. I'm going to the north to join the war soon, and I'm now a seventh-grade Zhiguo Colonel." As he spoke, Yang Wenguang straightened his body intentionally, as if he was worried.
Say, how about it, I'm great, praise me, praise me.
"Brother Yang, are you... not sick?"
On the other hand, Hu Yanqing, with just one sentence, Yang Wenguang felt that all the energy in his body relaxed at this moment.
"Whoever is sick, let me tell you, it's true." Yang Wenguang said very seriously, with sincerity in his eyes."
Seeing that Yang Wenguang's behavior didn't look like a joke, Hu Yanqing also became serious, "Brother Yang, are you kidding?"
"Of course not. I also tell you that I am now Captain Zhiguo. Next, I will perform meritorious service on the battlefield. It is not impossible to become a guerrilla general by then." Yang Wenguang said with a smile on his face.
confidence.
Seeing that Yang Wenguang didn't seem to be teasing him, Hu Yanqing's eyes immediately lit up, "Brother Yang, what's going on? Did someone promote you, and can I go to the battlefield? Brother Yang knows my abilities.
, I also want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy and perform meritorious service."
"Can you do that? Will my younger siblings agree?" Yang Wenguang said, "It's not that I look down on you, but you're just not as good as me."
"
If he dares, anyone who stops him will be beaten to death. Oh no! Whoever stops him will be locked up in the woodshed." Hu Yanqing was also anxious.
His childhood wish was to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and become a general like his grandfather. He did not know how much effort he had put in for this. Now the opportunity was right in front of him. Anyone who stopped him would be his enemy.
As for whether the wife will agree or not, it doesn't matter in the face of ideals.
Looking at Hu Yanqing who was howling with anxiety, Yang Wenguang laughed. He knew what kind of character his brother was, and this time he came to him to be his helper. With his help, the selection of soldiers will be done.
It went faster.
...
After Su Shi left the palace, he first went to the head office of Hua Xia Bank, where he met Yuan Xiaotou and made some arrangements.
"Tomorrow, the Third Division will send five million strings. Then you are ready to send out three million strings. Put them all in big boxes. I will use them."
Listening to Su Shi's arrangements, Yuan Xiaotou kept nodding his head, "Don't worry, young master, the arrangements will be made."
"Well, how is the bank's external expansion going?" Su Shi asked.
Hua Xia Bank began its outward expansion after the New Year. According to Su Shi's requirements, there must be at least two branches in Dafu and at least one in Xiaofu. In short, it is necessary to complete the entire Song Dynasty.
of coverage.
In this way, when the entire Song Dynasty uses Huaxia Bank's banknotes, he will have more controllable capital, and then the ability of the financial giant will have the opportunity to show off.
"It went smoothly. Although some small towns were resisting, we were willing to spend money and ask questions.
The questions are not too big." When Yuan Xiaotou answered this question, he couldn't help but sigh.
This young master of mine is really willing to spend money. According to Su Shi's philosophy, if the local government doesn't cooperate, then it will throw money at him until he cooperates.
This method is naturally excellent. After all, no one dislikes money. You have to do things with money. But in this way, the cost is really too much. And after spending so much money, it will not be enough within two or three years.
I don't see any possibility of profit.
Su Shi knew this, but he still didn't hesitate at all. This is what made Yuan Xiaotou sigh. He was more curious about where so much money in the bank came from, but he didn't dare to ask. Many times he knew
The more there are, the greater the danger.
"Don't be reluctant to spend money. The initial investment may be larger, but once everything is covered and the people of the Song Dynasty use our banknotes, that's when you can make a lot of money with interest." Su Shi knew what Yuan Xiaotou was worried about.
What it was, even though the other party didn't say it, he could still guess it.
Repeating this sentence constantly is telling Yuan Xiaotou that if you don't bear the child, you can't trap the wolf.
...
Zhaoren Palace.
As soon as the matter of discussing politics in the court came up, Li Di gave Zhao Xi a half-day holiday.
As soon as Zhao Xi returned to the palace, martial arts master Wang Miao, who had been waiting for him for a long time, came to greet him and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Jing."
"Master Wang, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. What do you think, you heard about what happened in the court. Send four thousand people to Su Shaofu. This is also a good opportunity to train Long Wuwei."
Zhao Xi said as he walked towards the courtyard.
"I know that your Highness yesterday
After God's instructions, I have already selected four thousand people for the expedition, and I have decided to lead the troops myself. However, as a result, I will not be able to accompany His Highness during this period of time." Wang Miao said with clasped fists.
"It doesn't matter. I still have Master Lei Meng. Let him teach me first. Master Wang, you can go to the front line to show your skills. I am waiting for the news of your meritorious service." Zhao Xi said with a smile.
Lei Meng is also Zhao Xi's martial arts teacher and was introduced by Li Di. Unlike Wang Miao, he was introduced by Zhao Zhen.
"Yes, General Lei is also very strong. With him teaching Your Majesty, I feel at ease." Wang Miao nodded as he thought that he and Lei Meng had competed before, but they were evenly matched.
"Okay, remember, Master Wang, after you go to the North, you have to listen to Su Shaofu. He has experience fighting the Liao and Mongols. And if you have differences of opinion, you still have to listen to him.
You can also tell the Longwu Guards that if they disobey military orders, no matter what the reason is, they will be punished according to military law and will be severely punished."
Although Zhao Xi is only seven years old, he does not have much of a child's appearance, but only the appearance of a prematurely mature young monarch.
"Yes, I understand." Wang Miao agreed with fists in her hands.
"Hey, speaking of it, I envy you. If I grow up, I would like to go with you this time. Just wait, when I grow up, and when I have the opportunity next time, I will definitely go with you.
Together, you and I will regain the sixteen states of Yanyun when the time comes."
Zhao Xi's eyes were shining as he spoke.
I have to say that Su Shi’s trick of entering the palace and telling Zhao Xi stories when nothing happened was effective. Hearing this many times, the heroes
After hearing many stories about the overlord, Zhao Xi's character was greatly affected. Compared to his father, Zhao Zhen, he has more fighting spirit, or domineering spirit.
Chunjin Palace is not far from Zhaoren Palace.
Princess Fukang Zhao Huirou was sitting on the steps kicking the stones at her feet.
Brother Su is leaving again and going to fight again. I don't know how long it will take before he comes back.
"Master, don't be unhappy. Mr. Su is now a loyal general. He will definitely kill everyone in the north and return victorious." Wet nurse Han saw Zhao Huirou's thoughts and stepped forward to comfort him.
How could Han, who had watched Zhao Huirou grow up since childhood and was a woman, fail to see what was going on in her young master's mind?
She also met Su Shi more than once, and the young man left a good impression on her, except for the leg problem.
But even with the leg problem, Han already knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to be together.
Think about it, the eldest princess whom the official family loved the most ended up marrying a cripple. Wouldn't that be a huge joke, and how could it be written down in the history books?
It's just that once a girl's mind is formed, it's not so easy to persuade her. Han can only play tricks on the side from time to time.
"Okay, Aunt Han, that's what I'm going to say. Besides, who is Brother Su? We defeated Liao Gou and Man Meng before, and they will definitely be safe this time. But...it's just in people's hearts
I just miss you."
Zhao Huirou has an excellent relationship with the Han family. Otherwise, a servant would not let her call her aunt. Even the official family and Concubine Miao would not have known about this and would have acquiesced.
"It doesn't matter, Master, you
He is still young, and he still has a few years to grow up, and Su Shaofu should have returned safely by then." Han sighed in his heart, but still said words of relief.
"I understand all this, but I just miss it so much." As Zhao Huirou spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.
Although Su Shi is in Bianliang City, as she grows up, there are not many opportunities for the two parties to meet. But if you really want to meet, you can still meet. Unlike now, when people go to the North, then
