Text Chapter 85: The Prime Minister¡¯s Posture

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jianjiazhuang's urban management system is relatively complete, but there is still a big flaw - lack of manpower.  This is not comparable to Yangjiazhuang. There are forty or fifty security professionals in Yangjiazhuang, and it is not a problem to work in shifts day and night.

    According to the current development of Jianjiazhuang.  The school needs manpower, several workshops also need manpower, and manpower is needed to patrol everywhere, so the twenty or so people in Jianjiazhuang are far from enough.  Fortunately, there were rural soldiers in the Song Dynasty. Although rural soldiers were mostly organized voluntarily by villagers in border areas and were not regular soldiers, they were still legal.

    It was after listening to Wu Da's words that Jian Youzhi became active.

    But this matter is quite important. Recruiting rural soldiers under the emperor¡¯s feet is not known whether it will be allowed. Wu Da is obviously not a person within the system and is a little vague about policy matters. You have to ask Yang Yi before he can do this.

    At that moment, Jian Youzhi made an excuse and hurried to Yangjiazhuang under Su Yuting's suspicious eyes.

    It just so happened that Yang Yi was entertaining Yang Zongshi, who didn't come often, and Yang Fang, who came often, in the village.

    "Liu Guang is a man who has a good taste. It just so happens that there is a box of crispy candies from the palace here!"

    Yang Yi¡¯s tone was very normal, only the flirtatious eyes were slightly vague, and he acted as if the two of them had a normal neighborly relationship. They really knew how to pretend!

    "Just in time to try it!" Jian Youzhi sat down and smiled at Yang Zongshi, "I didn't expect you guys to be here, or I would change the time!"

    After saying these words, Yang Yi blushed slightly, glared at him, and cursed in his heart, this guy didn't even look at him, he said these nasty things in front of others.

    "Thisis of great importance and is somewhat confidential!"

    Jian Youzhi also felt that something was wrong, so he explained.  But the more they explained, the more confused Yang Zongshi and Yang Fang became. They looked at the eldest sister and then at Jian Youzhi, with expressions that needed to be solved.

    "What secrets do we have? It's not just some business dealings, and my two brothers are not outsiders. Liu Guang might as well tell it and listen, maybe they can come up with an idea!" Yang Yi quickly tried to change the topic to normal.  !

    "This involves court secrets"

    ¡°Jian You¡¯s words will never cease to amaze you!¡±

    Everyone was shocked immediately.

    Yang Zongshi and Yang Fang's ears immediately stood up and their eyes stared at Jian Youzhi.

    ¡°If it involves court secrets, it¡¯s even more important to tell them face to face. My two brothers can still talk to each other in court, so just tell me what you have to say!¡±

    Yang Yi cast an encouraging glance at Jian Youzhi and blinked two or three times. The radio wave he sent out can be translated as: Just talk, as long as you are not plotting rebellion, I can keep you!

    Jian Youzhi nodded to express receipt, blinked, and sent back another radio wave: Well, I believe you!

    "Well, I plan to recruit troops"

    The chair Yang Yi was sitting on creaked.

    "Well!"

    "Well!"

    Two sounds, indicating that Yang Zongshi and Yang Fang were choked at the same time.  He opened his mouth, unable to speak, and pointed at Jian Youzhi, his eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly.

    "Isn't there a system for recruiting rural soldiers in this dynasty? I plan to recruit some rural soldiers, not many, a hundred or ten are enough. I can't afford to raise more. The cost of raising people is high now, mainly in Jianjiazhuang.  The benefits are relatively high, which is a bit stressful!¡±

    So that¡¯s what happened, you should have told me earlier!

    Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief obviously. When he heard the first sentence, he was considering whether to draw a clear line with this ambiguous enemy.  Being a widow is pitiful enough, but if you are also accused of treason with your concubine, it will be a bad life!

    "Well, this dynasty has this system, but the capital city is not included. There are more than 800,000 forbidden troops stationed in the capital city, so there is no need to recruit rural soldiers!"

    Yang Zongshi was also obviously relieved and patiently promoted the policy to Jian Youzhi.

    "Yeah yeah!"

    Yang Fang immediately agreed and touched the cold sweat on his forehead!

    "But we don't have enough manpower to protect the village, and we can't be equipped with crossbows and other weapons"

    Yang Zongshi was speechless.

    "Well it would be nice to have a bow. Crossbows are weapons that can only be used by the army. It's really inconvenient" Yang Fang expressed his position in a timely manner.

    "Ahem"

    Yang Yi made a dry cough.

    "It is understandable that Liuguang wants to recruit rural soldiers. The last time the workshop was damaged by others, and now the scale of the workshop is getting bigger and bigger, it is reasonable to take some precautions. To recruit rural soldiers, it is better to expand your own manpower to protect the village.  ¡­¡±

    "This"I've thought about itbutthere are some parts of my workshop here that are not suitable for public disclosure for the time being. They involve court secrets" It's confidential again, and the three of them looked weird. People at this time don't have a strong sense of confidentiality!

    "It's better than this!"

    Yang Zongshi interrupted.

    "As long as you can't protect more than a hundred people, I will give the imperial court its acquiescence!"

    "Well, that's fine!" Jian Youzhi touched his chin and nodded, "If the court can allocate some funds"

    Yang Zongshi was stunned.  Yang Fang and Yang Yi quickly turned around and looked around, indicating that they were not very familiar with this person!

    But in the end, this major matter, which seemed to involve court secrets, was resolved in Yang Zongshi's few words and understatement.

    Power is really a good thing, with all kinds of accommodations and conveniences, Jian Youzhi can't help but yearn for it slightly.

    "Liu Guang wants to be an official?"

    Yang Yi is a very perceptive vixen. When Jian Youzhi yawned, he knew that the person he wanted to hold back bad ideas was watching him with a smile while pretending to be calm and tasting some snacks.

    "No, no, just say it!"

    "What did Liu Guang say just now?"

    "What did I just say? Ah, I didn't say anything!"

    Jian Youzhi had lost his composure in front of the widow too many times. Jian Youzhi did not change his expression and quickly freed himself from the desire for fame and power. His eyes were clear and his face was pure, indicating that he did not seek fame and wealth, and was a pure and independent person.  A person with low taste.

    This is the same as Erya¡¯s evaluation of him.  That girl is really good at reading people.

    "Pity!"

    Yang Zongshi sighed.  Yang Fang also sighed and shook his head to show that he didn't understand Jian Youzhi's decision.

    Only Yang Yi had an expected expression.

    Several people began to chat with each other.  Jian Youzhi shut up and listened to Yang Zongshi talking about some things in the court.  Yang Fang echoed from time to time and expressed his own opinions.

    Yang Yi rolled his eyes at Jian Youzhi.

    "Why doesn't the streamer join the discussion?"

    Jian Youzhi has a difficult expression.

    "Thisdon't talk about state affairs!"

    Yang Zongshi¡¯s face suddenly darkened, and even Yang Fang shook his head.

    "Scholar-bureaucrats are proud to care about state affairs, so how can they stand idly by? Although the Song Dynasty is strong now, there are Liao Kingdoms eyeing them, and Xia people are constantly provoking conflicts. It can be said that the borders are full of troubles. It is the time for us to make suggestions for the court. How can we say that?  Don¡¯t talk about state affairs?¡±

    Yang Zongshi became impassioned and spoke rapidly, like bells in the morning and drums in the evening. The voice of generosity and justice echoed over the Yangjiazhuang courtyard for a long time.

    "well said!"

    Jian Youzhi took the lead in applauding, then stood up and saluted Yang Zong: "After listening to Zong Shi's words, I suddenly became enlightened and my heart suddenly became enlightened. That's great. If you have time, you must go to my village. I will convene  All the villagers in Zhuangzi, please Zongshi give a report to them in my Zhuangzi's place, so that they can also understand Zongshi's patriotism and loyalty to the emperor. Let all the villagers in Jianjiazhuang, regardless of men, women, old and young,  Establish the ambition to do your best for the state affairs of the Song Dynasty! Wouldn't it be better like this?"

    Yang Zongshi was stunned and shut up, not knowing what to say!

    Yang Fang couldn't help but said: "Brother Liu Guang has gone too far. Who is Zong Shi? Why do you say this to a group of bankers? Even if you say it, these bankers can understand it?"

    This is true.  Yang Zongshi nodded in agreement!

    "now it's right!"

    Jian Youzhi clapped his hands, stood up and walked a few steps.

    "What farmers care about is not the hearts of tigers and wolves in the Liao Dynasty or the ambitions of jackals and wolves in the Xia people. What they care about is whether they can have enough food and clothing today and whether there will be rice for cooking tomorrow! In the same way, I am a crop grower and a merchant. What I care about is  It¡¯s about whether we can make money and whether we can grow more food!¡±

    Yang Zongshi wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and was speechless!

    "It is a good thing for scholar-officials to worry about the country, but it is a great bad thing for only scholar-officials to worry about the country. Scholar-officials cannot support a country. Farmers and cultivators are the foundation of our great Song Dynasty. If these people cannot be allowed to worry about the country, what will happen to the country?  Can it last?¡±

    These words are a bit harsh, Jian Youzhi has a tendency to develop into an angry youth.

    Yang Zongshi still opened his mouth, but no words came out.

    "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the biggest hidden danger lies not in border dangers, but in itself!"

    "How can we see it?"

    Yang Zongshi finally interjected a sentence. After holding it in for a long time, his voice became much louder.

    "To put it simply,?For example, the Forbidden Army mentioned just now.  During the time of Taizu, there were only less than 200,000 people; under Taizong, there were only more than 300,000 people. By the time of Zhenzong, there were more than 400,000 people. Now it has reached more than 800,000 people. If we include the frontier troops and Xiangxiang troops,  The army is probably in the millions. With the current population of the Song Dynasty, supporting so many armies is like raising a river of fish in a pond. The pond water will dry up sooner or later.  "

    Yang Zongshi shut up.

    What Jian Youzhi said was true. Looking back, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. No one in the court was willing to seriously consider such a thing.

    "This is not even talking about the officials of the Song Dynasty! The imperial examination is a good thing, but if there are too many officials, sooner or later the people will be insufficient! The troubles of the Song Dynasty are not external but internal!"

    Yang Zongshi stopped talking.

    Yang Fang also remained silent.

    Yang Yi pursed his lips and glanced sideways at his mistress. His heart was beating fast. Although he had already seen that this guy had some talent, he didn't expect it to be a bit unexpected!

    He has unique insights, incisive analysis, and looks like a prime minister!

    ¡°Obviously, this is a woman¡¯s unlimited sexual intercourse with her man. It is the same nature as Su Yuting¡¯s sexual intercourse with her since Jian Youzhi became a concubine. She will become the first-grade wife in the future.

    These words were so shocking that Jian Youzhi finished the box of snacks, wiped his mouth, and walked away, but he still hadn't recovered yet!
