The next day, in Qingchi City, there were notices posted everywhere, telling what happened outside the city yesterday as if it were a twist and turn, and in the following days, all the notices with this content were posted in Cangzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Zhi sat in the inner hall of the yamen of the Jingluo Mansion, and was already thinking about recruiting troops in his heart, in a state capital, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers who can fight, which is too few. According to the territory and scale of Cangzhou, as well as the geographical location of the Song-Liao border, the full strength of the forbidden army stipulated by the imperial court should be more than 10,000 people.

Of course, Zheng Zhi will not really raise an army of more than 10,000 people, not too many but fine, if he really recruits more than 10,000 people, it will be 10,000 sets of excellent step armor Zheng Zhi can't make it up for a while, this is also a huge amount of money.

Like Weizhou, forming a combat force of 3,000 is the best choice, there is no shortage of horses, and if 3,000 iron cavalry is formed, it will be enough for the time being. There are also 500 party light horsemen to assist.

This matter slowly brewed in Zheng Zhi's heart, and most of the soldiers in Cangzhou were directly eliminated before the head, and now recruiting troops can also give some good soldiers a chance to become soldiers again.

There are about 2,000 Western troops, as well as 500 party light cavalry, and another 1,000 Cangzhou soldiers are recruited, which is also just right, so as not to make Zheng Zhi's soldiers an embarrassing identity of the guest army, which is also conducive to the exchange between the military and the people.

After figuring out many things, Zheng Zhi took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, and wrote a rough recruitment plan. But there is a problem that plagues Zheng Zhi, the recruitment of soldiers in the Song Dynasty is also the recruitment of assassins, and the soldiers who are conscripted need to tattoo words on their faces, this matter is a system explicitly stipulated by the imperial court, and it is also something that Zheng Zhi is unwilling to do.

At this time, the prescribed standard salary of a forbidden soldier is consistent every month, and there are naturally not so many that can be paid, and half of it is too much.

The salary of the men of the Western Army is higher, and in the northwest, the small species of Xianggong will be issued to the same 500 Wen, and Zheng Zhi will directly double it to Sanguan, and there is also a food subsidy.

On the contrary, the party's light cavalry only had a salary of two or three hundred yuan, and more food and living materials.

In this way, Zheng Zhi's future military expenditure will be 10,000 yuan a month. According to the establishment, the imperial court issued about 10,000 guan, from Tokyo to Decangzhou, there are only six or seven thousand, and the prefect's yamen also has to support three or four thousand.

The sound of silver is just enough, but it is more than a thousand iron-clad weapons, bows and crossbows, as well as grain and grass for horses, which Zheng Zhi needs to prepare by himself.

Maybe in the future, all the party members will be equipped with iron armor, a pair of iron armor, which is worth dozens or hundreds of yuan, which is really not cheap.

Zheng Zhi was in the inner hall behind the main hall, but Pei Xuan was working in front of the hall, and when official documents were sent inside and outside Cangzhou, all of them were done by Pei Xuan.

Zheng Zhi thought about it properly, seeing that money was needed everywhere, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, the Liao and Song Dynasty would soon go to war, and in a few years they would face the threat of the Jin State, Zheng Zhi naturally had to expand the army, and spending money would inevitably be like flowing water.

Money is already an important matter in front of Zheng Zhi, although there is no shortage at this time, if it is really to be used, it will naturally not be enough. If there are really 10,000 cavalry under his command, not to mention the preparation of weapons and iron armor, food and salary, horses, and ordnance loss, and so on.

The Great Song Dynasty vigorously supported the imperial court, and more than 20 state capitals in the northwest did their best to have tens of thousands of troops to fight with the Western Xia.

Zheng Zhi thought of these things, scratched his head, got up and picked up the white paper written on the case, dried the ink, folded it and put it in his arms, and summoned Niu Da outside the door, and asked Niu Da to call Pei Xuan outside.

Pei Xuan came in and asked, "Xianggong, what do you command?" ”

Zheng Zhi slowly stood up and said, "Lao Pei, how is the official business handled?" ”

"The official documents of the proclamation have been sent to the various state capitals, and there is also an official document prohibiting the people from carrying weapons before, and I am going to go to the prefect's yamen later to urge this food and salary matter." Since the yamen of this Jingluo Mansion has slowly entered the right track, Pei Xuan has become more and more polite and courteous.

"Well, I'll go back in the afternoon for the urging thing, and now go for a walk on the street with me." Zheng Zhi said, on the street is also to see this Qinghe County, what this Cangzhou Mansion looks like, after coming to Cangzhou for so long, Zheng Zhi really hasn't had a good walk around this Qingchi County, and most of the days are going back and forth between Jinglue Mansion and the school outside the city.

But at this time, Jin Cuilian also entered the inner hall from outside the door, still holding a tray in her hand, and said: "Official, Mrs. asked the slave to send this lotus seed soup over." ”

Zheng Zhi took two steps forward and took the lotus seed soup on the tray, and said with a smile: "Or does the lady know that it hurts people?" ”

Hearing this, Jin Cuilian said again: "Madame ordered, what about Xiaolian's sweet soup, Madame should look at Kai'er." ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he naturally knew that Jin Cuilian was showing his skills, and said: "Well, Xiaolian also knows that it hurts, haha... How is Kyle? ”

Jin Cuilian heard Zheng Zhi's words, and there was already a smile on her face, obviously satisfied, and said with a smile: "Kai'er is naughty, now she can walk, Mrs. looked at him for a moment, for fear that he would fall and hurt somewhere." ”

"Man, what is it to fall a few times, the lady loves him too much, and when he is older, he will throw it directly into the camp and let Luda discipline him well." Although Zheng Zhi has no experience in educating children, he also knows that this child can't be spoiled too much, especially this boy, if he is so careful, where can he have a manly appearance in the future.

Jin Cuilian was a little anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Kai'er has wrestled, and she has fallen many times, so the lady is more careful." ”

But this Jin Cuilian's mind is also simple, where is the child she brought to the side of the military man, how do the military men under her own officials practice, Jin Cuilian has not seen much with her own eyes, but she has also heard a lot, in the final analysis, it is to endure hardship.

Of course, Zheng Zhi also knew Jin Cuilian's careful thoughts, and said: "Men, even if you don't fight in the future, it is beneficial to go to the camp. ”

Jin Cuilian saw Zheng Zhi's suddenly serious expression, and she didn't know what to say, so she thought for a moment and said, "Official, Kai'er will be the best student in the future." ”

Zheng Zhi said again: "I have to go to the camp to study and study, and soon there will be a talented man who will come to Cangzhou, and I will let Kaier follow him to study in the future." ”

The talented person Zheng Zhi said is naturally Li Gang and Li Boji, the jinshi of the new department, who is naturally talented. But this Li Boji can not only learn literature, but also be interested in military affairs, and Li Gang can also lead troops to fight in history. Such a teacher is also what Zheng Zhi needs, and as for some other ideas and knowledge, Zheng Zhi also wants to teach by word and deed.

Jin Cuilian heard that a talented man was going to come to Cangzhou to be a teacher for Kai'er, so she was naturally happy and asked, "Official, a talented man from Tokyo?" ”

"Well, from Tokyo, it's a native of Changzhou, Jiangnan, and a jinshi from Xinke. I'm going to go out on the street, are you going to go? Zheng Zhi said, this Li Gang has not come yet, but he has been arranged by Zheng Zhi on an errand.

Jin Cuilian was overjoyed when she heard this, her face was full of smiles, and she immediately replied: "If you go, the official will wait for the slave later, and send this bowl to the back office." ”

"Well, by the way, ask the lady and the teacher if they want to go." After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, he drank the lotus seed soup in his hand and put the bowl back into the tray.

Jin Cuilian took the tray and ran quickly to the back office. Even Zheng Zhi in the back was also anxious when he looked at it, afraid that if this girl was not careful, she would turn over on her back and smash a good bowl from an official kiln.
