"The official family is in?" Jiang De asked with the tea.

"Back to Xiao Langjun's words, I went in, and I was playing the piano for the teacher, not to mention, our official family played really well!" Shi Qian smiled sheepishly.

Jiang De shook his head and said, "In addition to governing the country, what our official family does is good, so it's okay, everything is as it is." ”

Xu Guanzhong came in with a letter and said, "Lord, the news from Liangshan that Song Jiang has come down the mountain." ”

Jiang De took it and opened it, nodded and said, "Well, in this way, the power of Xuzhou Mansion was restrained by Song Jiang, and he wrote to Chao Gai and asked him to send a team of men and horses to seize Ciyang Mountain, not too many people, five hundred is good, the key is to be elite." ”

"Yes!" Xu Guanzhong replied and said, "In addition, there is news from the family, the four thousand soldiers of Neihuang have completed the second round of training, and they still lack good bows, hard crossbows, armor and horses. Now these 4,000 people are being trained in various transport teams according to their establishment, and I believe that the government will not notice us. ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Good bows and hard crossbows, armor and horses are indeed problems, who are these four thousand people in command now?" ”

Xu Guanzhong flipped through it and said, "They are Shi Jin, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Yue Fei, speaking of which this Yue Fei is really not ordinary, at a young age, the team he led has surpassed Shi Jin and others in several trainings, he is the captain, no one has an opinion, where is this an eleven-year-old child." ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "That's Shi Jin and the others are too bad, they are just brave men, and Yue Fei is the commander I chose in the future." Mr. Xu, what do you think we should do next? ”

Xu Guanzhong replied, "My lord, in fact, whenever there is a battle in the world, it is a battle between people and talents, so, my lord, I think the next step should be to expand our Tianxiang Academy, we need more talents who are loyal to us." ”

Jiang De said with great agreement, "What Mr. Xu said is reasonable, this time, we are no longer a small fight like Neihuang, but we need to make a big fanfare!" Mr. Xu, I think the next step should be to find a way to slowly penetrate the officialdom of the entire Jingdong East and West Road, at least in the area along the river. ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile, "It seems that the lord already has an idea, and I ask the lord to make it clear." ”

Jiang De thought for a while and said, "I think so, officials, officials, to put it mildly, officials are greater than officials, but in fact, local government affairs are dominated by those small officials, if these small officials are removed, how much power does the Great Song Dynasty still have in the local area?" ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "That's true, in fact, this is also a rule that has been around since the Qin and Han dynasties, the imperial court only sends officials, and the local officials and village elders are elected by the local people." ”

Jiang De shook his head and smiled, "Then where is the recommendation, the good positions are all local tyrants and squires, and the bad positions are assigned to prevaricate, besides, who said that it has always been right, if we can really master the world one day, I want the world to have no officials, since they are all for the court, they should be treated equally, how can they be officials and not be officials?"

It's funny to say, those faint officials, who only know the four books and five classics, don't understand the real thing, those officials, a county or even a state can do a very orderly job of criminal tax rewards and punishments, but they can't rise, Mr. Xu, except for my Song Dynasty, where are there so many central officials in all dynasties who can write peerless articles, is it really my great Song Dynasty people or cultural prosperity?

In my opinion, there are of course these reasons, but there is another important reason that many of us officials don't have to do any practice, so we have a lot of time to scrutinize poetry articles, anyone who has written articles knows that in addition to those things that are won by chance, most of the good poetry articles are changed, I don't believe that people like Zhuge Liang can have time to think about how to change their articles every day. ”

Xu Guanzhong covered his mouth and smiled: "The lord said this well, since following the lord, the students can no longer write any previous articles and poems." ”

Jiang De shrugged and said, "That's all my fault!" ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled and didn't speak, Jiang De continued, "I mean, we can select some young people in the local area, or absorb those who can be used by us, and let them be officials, as long as these people are our people, then even if the local officials are replaced in the court, our local ruling power will not change in the slightest." ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "The lord has a very good idea, but the positions of these officials are all appointed by local officials, so how should we arrange for our people to take the positions?" ”

Jiang De smiled, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "Those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die!" Liang Shanjun is not just for the common people to fight bullies, whether it is an official who is unwilling to obey our requirements, or those local tyrants and inferior gentry who are unwilling to abdicate, Liang Shanjun is the sharpest knife for us! Besides, it's difficult for me to operate the prefect or something, but the official position of a prefect is easy to solve. ”

Indeed, a county magistrate is just an official position of seven or eight grades, although Zhao Ji has not yet been mediocre to the point of selling officials and lords, but where can the appointment order of a county order be placed on Zhao Ji's table? For Cai Jing and others, as long as they support their political views, there is nothing wrong with putting some people in the positions they want to go.

- The next day

"Academy? Xiao Langjun, you said you want to run an academy? After resting all night, the refreshed Zhao Ji looked at Jiang De strangely while eating fritters and drinking soy milk.

Although Zhao Ji didn't really have anything to do with Master Li last night, but Master Li's artistic attainments really surprised Zhao Ji, he fell asleep under the sound of Master Li's piano, and felt more comfortable than lingering with Zhao Yuannu all night, which he couldn't understand, but Jiang De understood very well that what Zhao Ji needed most in the night and night was actually an honest rest...

Jiang De nodded and said, "Yes, but my academy is not to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, but to learn some skills, such as accounting, such as work, such as farming." ”

"What? Do you still have to learn farming? Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Which one of the people in the world can't?" ”

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "But the same field, different people grow different grain yields are different, Weichen is thinking, since ancient times, there are many sages who have written books on agriculture, but the people are ignorant, so that these books have been covered with dust, Weichen feels that if the children of farmers are recruited to learn the way of agriculture, and then let the rich families from all over the country hire them back to their hometowns to command farming, China's grain production will inevitably increase. ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while and said, "That's it, it's just a small thing, you can do it, why tell me first?" Is it because you are afraid of some trouble? ”

Jiang De said hehehe, "The kid just wants to ask for a picture of the official's family, first, to deter Xiaoxiao, and second, when he goes back and talks to my husband, I can stop his mouth!" ”

Zhao Ji laughed, pointed at Jiang De and said, "You little lang, you know that you have other thoughts, say, what to write?" ”

Jiang De waved his hand, Yue Heng walked out with the four treasures of the study, Jiang De smiled and said, "Please leave the Mobao in the official family, the four words of Tianxiang Academy." ”

"Academy? Isn't it a college? Zhao Ji asked curiously, after all, the most famous private schools in this period were named after academies, such as Yingtian Academy, which is now Nanjing Guozijian, Bailudong Academy with thousands of apprentices, Songyang Academy, which has the reputation of the birthplace of science in later generations, Shigu Academy inscribed by Zhao Guangyi, and so on.

Jiang De arched his hand and said modestly, "What the kid academy teaches is all middle-and-lower ninth-rate, five-element and eight-way things, where do you dare to say anything about the academy." ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "That's what I said, speaking of which, if it weren't for you kid, I would never have mentioned this word, that.... What do the teachers and girls like, the widow talked to her all night yesterday, but I always felt that I couldn't please her. ”

Jiang De secretly said in his heart that he was a slut, in fact, it was not just Zhao Ji, it should be said that both men and women seemed to be like this, the more they couldn't get it, the more precious they felt, but those that could be easily obtained, but in the end they would feel bored to be abandoned, Jiang De looked at Zhao Ji, and secretly admired Master Li in his heart, this Master Li really knew how to concoct this official family.

Jiang De deliberately said with some uncertainty: "This... Official, I heard that no matter which girl it is, she has a common hobby, that is, food, I don't know if this counts? ”

Zhao Ji said while waving ink, "Food, this is true, from the widows, the master to the people, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't love food." ”

After that, Zhao Ji put down the pen, took out the private seal, frowned and looked at Jiang De and said, "But you are Qionglou here, how many places in the world have a lot of food here?" ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "Official, the food here is made by the chef, if it is the food made by the official, I am afraid it will be very different for the teacher and the girl." ”

"I did it?" After Zhao Ji stamped the seal, he looked at Jiang De.

Jiang De nodded and said, "The official family can think about it, if the teacher girl knows that the pastries she eats are made by the official family herself, what kind of emotion will she become?" If the official family can make the pastry look like a beauty to the teacher, what will happen to the teacher? ”

Zhao Ji patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful! Okay, you Jiang Xiaolang, it seems that it will harm a lot of ladies in the future, no, I have to go back and tell my little ladies that when I see Jiang De in the future, it's better to stay away. ”

Jiang De asked Xu Guanzhong to put away Zhao Ji's words and said, "The official family naturally has more means than Weichen, and Weichen has some axes." ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Your idea is still very novel.... That, etc., will make your home.. Chef Gao, right, let her come and meet me, I'll ask if there are any dishes to make. ”

Jiang De smiled, answered, and retreated, this time Zhao Ji stayed in Qionglou for three days and three nights in a row, only because he wanted to go to the court, he had no choice but to leave, and in these three days, Master Li did not let Zhao Ji succeed once, Zhao Ji not only did not get angry, but even thought about how to please Master Li in the court.

Jiang De went to see Li Gang again in the past few days, Li Gang was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that after Jiang Deqiong Building opened, Zhao Ji stayed in Qiong Building for three days, and said to his face that Jiang De should not let the official family have such fun, Jiang De only said, "Is Yanfu Palace also built by me?" Immediately, Li Gang was speechless.

Li Gang sighed, "Xiao Langjun, I naturally know that you can't be blamed entirely for this matter, but we are all courtiers, shouldn't we persuade the king to be good?" ”

Jiang Drake sat down with Li Gang and said, "Brother Boji, where is the illness of my Great Song Dynasty that can be solved by an official family, now that the Taishi is forging ahead, the military affairs in the northwest are about to rise again, my personal humble opinion, what is needed now is that there is only one voice in the court, if the attention of the official family returns to the court, I am afraid that many things will change overnight, but it is not beautiful." ”

Li Gang looked at Jiang De and asked seriously, "The Northwest War is about to start, is this news serious?" For example, if you are not stable today, you should not use soldiers. ”

Jiang De persuaded, "Now that the Taishi is accumulating money, if this money is not used in military affairs, it will be used in the court and pavilion, what do you say?" ”

Li Gang stomped his feet, only to feel very depressed in his heart, Jiang De patted Li Gang's hand and said, "I'm going to leave the capital in a few days, this time, and I don't know when I'll come back, my brother is just right, I just hope that I should think twice on weekdays, although some things are not the best, but they are the most suitable choice..."

Li Gang looked at Jiang De complicatedly, he vaguely felt in his heart that what Jiang De said was right, but he didn't want to admit this fact.

After Jiang De said goodbye to Li Gang, he pulled Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Xu Ning to drink together in the Qionglou, and the rise of drinking, perhaps because of the will of heaven in the dark, Lu Zhishen pulled Lin Chong to the courtyard to fight for a while, Niu Gao also found Xu Ning again, the four of them fought for a long time, although it was not a life and death fight, but each strength was equal, and he only felt very happy, Lu Zhishen knew that Jiang De was going to leave with Xu Ning, and Gao Yu had already sent someone to check the Daxiangguo Temple, and the Daxiangguo Temple could not stay any longer, so he also clamored to leave, Jiang De originally wanted Lu Zhishen to stay in Qionglou, but now that he thinks about it, Lu Zhishen will cause trouble in the Qionglou in the future, so he agreed to take Lu Zhishen away.

In this way, it is a question who can stay here to sit in town, after all, in Jiang De's calculations, it will not be long before Gao Yanei will make a move, Jiang De looked at Li Zhong, and was really relieved of his force, and finally wrote a letter and sent someone to the Daimyo's mansion, transferring Yan Qing to Kaifeng to sit in the town, as for whether Yan Qing and Li Shishi will have another story, but they can't take care of it.

Jiang De left Yue He countless soft drinks, sofas, Simmons and other things for later generations, and talked with Master Li for a night, leaving a few books, and asked Master Li and Yi Fengnu to gather musicians and Meiji to rehearse day and night, and half a year later, something called drama was born in Qionglou, which is also a later story.

——Half a moon later, by the water

"Stop!" Jiang De looked back at the two hundred sickle hook gunners who followed behind, and the two hundred sickle hook gunners who were exchanged for a floor-to-ceiling glass mirror were upgraded to sickle hook lancers, this business was not an ordinary profit, and Gao Yu no longer wanted to fight with Jiang De as before, but after seeing Qiong Lou, he had a hint of stuttering. Second, I also think that these war horses are also in the forbidden army series, there is nothing wrong with them, and there are treasures, as for the treasure knife that lost to Jiang De, what is it in front of this rare floor-to-ceiling glass mirror?

You must know that even in the current glass factory, there is no way to produce any large glass mirrors, so you can only try to produce some palm-sized ones, and Jiang De strictly ordered to restrict production in order to increase the price. It is conceivable what the price of this floor-to-ceiling glass mirror is in the market.
