Chapter 1310: Reform and Reform Paste IX
As the husband of Her Royal Highness Princess Da Song, Wu Yiyong is probably the most "shabby" one. In terms of official positions, there is only an army captain, which is about equivalent to the ambassador of the Song Dynasty.
The annual salary is less than 200 yuan, which is equivalent to three or four hundred copper coins, plus 1,500 acres of knight's professional field.
When it comes to mansions, that is, one in Tianjin and one in Yanjing. Among them, Yanjing's house is still in the suburbs outside the Fifth Ring Road......
As for the other property, it is mainly the 100,000 yuan and one tael of silver coins allocated to him by Pan Qiaolian from the inner account room, which can have an interest of three or four thousand yuan per year, most of which must be used to maintain the expenses of the Tianjin mansion. There really isn't a few dollars left to spend on this colt for him.
However, including Wu Yiyong and his mother Ximen Qing, as well as Zhao Zhongge, Ximen Anguo, Murong Parrot and others who supported Wu Yiyong as the successor of the republican revolution, they would not be dissatisfied with such an arrangement.
Because a moderate life of thrift is a test of the successor of the revolution!
Similarly, the huge dowry brought by Zhao Yupan was also a test.
Wu Yiyong must pass the assessment of diligence and thrift and wealth temptation, and he must also learn to manage money - the 100,000 yuan given to him by Pan Qiaolian, as well as the cash in Zhao Yupan's dowry, must be properly managed in order to maintain and increase value while avoiding high risks.
As a soldier, Wu Yiyong's experience so far has been perfect. He excelled in the Knight Academy and performed well on the battlefield.
If nothing else, sooner or later Wu Yiyong will become an outstanding general of the republic.
But the head of state of the republic is not stable just by being able to fight. Therefore, Wu Yiyong must also show other abilities...... For example, good at financial management, good at management, good at interacting with people, and so on.
Oh, and by the way, there is a "wealth management" course in the curriculum of the Knight Elementary School and the Knight Academy!
The Great Zhou Republic was a bourgeois republic, and naturally it would not be ashamed to discuss the question of wealth.
The key is that a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way!
And knights and officers, as the pillars of the military civic group, of course, must have the ability to manage money. Otherwise, military citizens, who are financially confined to bankruptcy, will either be transformed into tools of warlords or reduced to thugs of commercial capital.
Historically, the collapse of the Roman Republic was due to the bankruptcy of the middle class of citizens (who were the source of the army of the Republic, that is, military citizens).
Therefore, the military academies of the Republic of the Great Zhou have courses on financial management, teaching the knowledge of managing the grange and wealth.
On the one hand, Wu Yiyong was the poorest horse in the history of the Great Song Dynasty; On the one hand, he will inherit a huge amount of wealth.
How to manage and use this wealth well is an important step for Wu Yiyong to reach the pinnacle of life - anyway, Wu Haogu, the head of the big capitalists, does not believe that people who can't manage even a few hundred thousand to a million can lead a bourgeois republic worth more than one billion......
……
"Eldest sister, I heard that the prosperity of Tianjin is not under Kaifeng Mansion, and the wealth of the Wu family is no less than that of my family, and Wu Yiyong is the eldest son of the head of Wu......"
At this moment, Zhao Kai, the king of Donghai County of the Great Song Dynasty, is in a newly decorated luxury pavilion in Nanpi County. While accompanying his eldest sister to eat, he comforted him with kind words.
Zhao Yupan, the princess of Qingde in history, also had the experience of going north, but it was as a trophy to the north, which is not as beautiful as it is now.
She is Zhao Ji's eldest daughter, her mother is Queen Zheng, and now she is married thousands of miles away, how can she not be beautiful?
Although Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng both knew that Wu Hao Gu was rich, they were still worried that their daughter would suffer outside, and the dowry would be particularly generous. There are thousands of carts in the wedding procession, which can catch up with the logistics convoy of an army.
But Zhao Yupan, who is only 17 years old this year, is the first time to leave his parents and travel far away, and he is going to marry a man he has never met...... I heard that he was still a fierce martial artist, and he killed people with a knife at the age of twelve or thirteen! is so cruel, I don't know if I will beat my wife? Wow......
At the thought of living with a murderous man for the rest of her life, Zhao Yupan, a 17-year-old beautiful girl, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"But people say that there will be a battle between the martial arts family and the heavenly family! I married the eldest son of the samurai family, will it be ...... in the future?"
Will she be a queen? If you become a queen, what should I do? Can the King of the East Sea still be in power?
Zhao Kai looked at his sister, and suddenly two somewhat terrifying thoughts popped up.
"No," Zhao Kai hurriedly shook his head, "The martial arts family is not even a king, how can they win the world with our family?" Besides, now it's my sister who marries Wu Yiyong, and it's time for me to marry Wu Meiniang next year.
I heard that the second sister will marry Wu Yijiu, the sister-in-law of the martial family, in the future. In the future, the two countries and the two families will be Qin and Jinzhi, what else is there to worry about? ”
"What about Qin Jin's goodness?" Zhao Yupan just shook his head and sighed, "In ancient times, the two countries of Qin and Jin did not fight a lot of troops!" ”
When Zhao Kaizheng didn't know how to comfort his sister, a young man's voice came from outside the door: "Eldest sister, third brother, Wu Erlang has arrived." Bachelor Wang (Wang Hao, the deputy envoy to send off the relatives, the actual host of the mission) invited the king to greet him. ”
Of course, Wu Erlang is not Wu Song, but Wu Haogu's second son, Wu Yixin. He is two years younger than Wu Yiyong, and he is still a student at the Knight Academy. I took a leave of absence in the past few days, and came with hundreds of ironclad knights to help my brother pick up his relatives.
And Wu Haode casually went in and out of the palace gate because he was a child, and he was very familiar with Zhao Ji's children, so he didn't call him "His Royal Highness, the King", he simply called Zhao Yupan "eldest sister" and Zhao Kai "third brother".
But looking at their appearance, they really look like brothers and sisters.
Zhao Kai stood up and said to his sister: "Eldest sister, don't worry, it's the day when there will be soldiers, and the eldest brother is worried, you are the daughter-in-law of the martial family, and I am the prince of the East China Sea, what are you afraid of?" ”
He turned around and said to Wu Haode with a smile: "Wu Sanlang, after the New Year, you will be the third uncle of the eldest sister, and you will have to take care of the eldest sister in the future, don't let people bully her." ”
Although Wu Haode is young, his seniority is high, and when Zhao Yupan marries into the martial arts, he will be his nephew and daughter-in-law. So now patting his chest as a guarantor, I really think I'm an elder.
……
Just when Zhao Yupan, Zhao Kai, and Wu Haode, under the protection of hundreds of ironclad knights of the Republican Army, entered the territory of the Great Zhou Republic, their father Zhao Ji was receiving Wanyan Zongpan and Gao Qing, the envoys of the Dajin Kingdom, in the Chongzheng Palace.
Wanyan Zongpan is the eldest son of Wu Qimai, and Gao Qingyi is a Bohai man who took refuge in Dajin. Both of them belonged to the anti-Zhou faction of the Jin State, and this time they were ordered by Du Bo Jilie Aguta to come to Kaifeng Mansion to discuss the formation of a "fortress encirclement network" with the Song Dynasty.
The so-called fortress encirclement network is, of course, to encircle the Great Zhou Republic!
In the past two years, on the one hand, there has been a superficial peace and normal trade between the Great Zhou and the Jin State; On the other hand, a long and protracted proxy war is being waged through Eastern Liao!
This Eastern Liao-Jin War was different from any previous war between the northern barbarians, it was not a grassland movement war, but a fortress-to-fortress battle.
After Xiao Sese's tactics of relying on the fortress to increase the counterattack of troops and inflicted heavy losses on Hebule, the Empress Dowager of Eastern Liao became a "fortress maniac", not only erected a fortress every dozens of miles on the Horqin grassland east of the Qianli pine forest, but also built a fortress line of more than 1,000 miles from the Liaohe River in the east to the Qianli pine forest in the west.
In addition, two large fortress groups were built on the Bashang grassland on the western front, with Swallow Fort and Mulan Fort to the west of the Qianli Pine Forest as the core.
The southern part of the Horqin Grassland and the southern part of the Bashang Grassland are all under the control of the continuous fortress group!
In the face of this tactic of supporting the defensive network with the fortress line, and then using armored cavalry to maneuver on the inner line. Ah Guta and Wu Qimai were helpless, and although they organized several assaults, they were all repelled by the armored cavalry led by Xiao Sese. Although he did not suffer much loss, he greatly increased Xiao Sese's prestige and became the "queen khan" on the grassland who was enough to fight against the Jurchens.
Many of the remnants of the Khitan who were living on the grassland all came back one after another, and even some small tribes of Tatars, enemy martyrs, and Wugu people also ran to attach themselves.
And Ah Guta and Wu Qimai had no choice but to fight each other-for-tat and fight each other with fortresses.
But the problem is that the Jurchens always can't make qualified cannons, so what's the use of a fortress without cannons? Let the Jurchen warriors stand on the triangle out of the fort and shoot arrows? But Xiao Se has artillery! Eastern Liao opened fire, Jurchen shot arrows, and the result can be imagined.
The fortresses of Eastern Liao are impregnable, and the fortresses of the Jurchens are always broken by Eastern Liao. Although with the advantage of field warfare, the Jurchens were able to maintain a situation of competing with each other on the steppe. But losing a fortress at both ends in three days is still too much of a loss of prestige.
As a last resort, Aguta and Wu Qimai could only ask for help from their suzerain, the Great Song Dynasty, hoping to get the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time wanted to unite with the Great Song Dynasty and surround the Zhou State with two fortress blockade lines in the north and south.
Zhao Jigao sat on the throne, listening to Yan Zongpan's Chinese dialect in Hedong dialect, his brows were always furrowed. When Zong Pan finished nagging and finished talking, he didn't express his position, but said a few good words that didn't hurt or itch, and sent Zong Pan and Gao Qingyi away.
After Zong Pan and Gao Qingyi left, Zhao Ji said to Ji Yi, the young ruler who accompanied him, and Zhang Shuye, who knew the affairs of the Privy Council: "How can the Jurchens also learn from us to build the city wall?" ”
Uncle Zhang said: "Your Majesty, since the invention of artillery in the Zhou Kingdom, the method of fighting the war is different from before. Now the latest way of playing is to charge the cavalry after the artillery is bombarded, and the cavalry is charged after the artillery is charged. The Jurchens only had cavalry and no artillery, so they couldn't clean up the Empress Dowager Xiao. ”
Ji Yi also said: "Fortunately, my Great Song Dynasty can also cast cannons and build fortresses...... As long as the imperial court has money and can train the new army of the 320 battalion, it can protect the Great Song Dynasty. ”
