The next day, Yao Ji came to Wang's house. <

Concubine Li personally made tea for Yao Ji, Wang Ju was an official, and it seemed that he would have a bright future, so the Qin family also taught some rules of large families at home.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Zi'an, this is normal." ”

The bell of Wang Ju's family has become a joke in the Gyeongju officialdom, and some people really think that Wang Ju has a special appetite. Especially those Fanzi, the aesthetic view is slightly different from that of the Han people, and many Fanzi gradually began to worship Wang Ju. Wang Ju's maidservant must be good, it must be a beauty. So they went to Zhong'er's house to propose marriage.

Even Zhu Huan and Li Yuanwai were laughed at when they heard these nonsense news.

Seeing Wang Ju's fiancée, Yao Ji was determined, and Wang Ju's appetite was not special.

"General Yao, don't be joking, I deliberately asked 6 Ping to invite you here, to say one thing, although these horses were brought by Steward Zhu to Weizhou to negotiate a deal with Weizhou merchants, but they are not Weizhou horses, some are from the Xihe region, and some are even from Huangzhou, all of them are real Tibetan horses. So they may have a zài strict zhòng soil problem, which is more difficult to raise than the horses we have obtained before. ”

In the Song Dynasty, the shepherds would raise and kill many war horses every year, some of which were the result of officials, such as greed for ink and fodder, and some were the result of carelessness, such as not taking good care of them, and some were the result of disobedience to soil and water. There are many reasons for this.

When a horse arrives in the army, it does not mean that it will not die, it will also die, it can only be said that it is better than being raised in the hands of those greedy officials when it is a pastoral supervisor.

Therefore, after Wang Ju changed the horses, he deliberately instructed each battalion to be careful when riding and breeding, and selected a few old men who were good at raising horses from each camp. Teach everyone how to take care of the horses.

This care is all-encompassing. Such as the combination of various feeds for horses. How much feed and how much water is supplied every day, the horse shed should be cleaned regularly, and even under Wang Juti, the ground of the horse shed is covered with quicklime, which is changed every few months to keep the horse shed dry, and the soldiers have to ride it every day to run, and it is not good to be locked in the horse shed all day long. Maybe you can fatten the horse, but when you get to the battlefield, you can't run.

Etcetera.

Then Wang Juhua invited two veterinarians who knew the nature of horses at a high price, and selected a few clever veterinarians from the fanqi, and asked the two veterinarians to teach them how to diagnose and treat the common diseases of horses.

It was a time when medical skills were quite suspicious, let alone veterinarians.

But once taught, there will be more than a dozen soldiers in the army who know a little about veterinarians, and some ordinary horse diseases can also be prevented and treated in time.

These measures have been effective, from last year to today's first month. Only two horses died.

However, the previous horses were mostly Seosa horses, or horses from Gyeongju Honju. There are almost no problems with soil and water adaptation.

However, the horses I got this time are different, it is far away from Gyeongju, the sea height is different, the water and soil are different, the climate is different, the forage is different, and even the air humidity is different, so there will be water and soil problems.

"Zi'an, don't worry, I will definitely let the soldiers of the Baojie Army raise them well."

It should be not bad, I don't know if I don't fight, everyone has seen the role of cavalry with their own eyes. Although the infantry of the three battles was not bad, most of the enemy was killed and wounded by two battalions of cavalry.

It's not that the infantry is not brave, but when they actually hit the back, even the morale of several battalions of forbidden soldiers has been inspired, but the lethality is really not good, and there is no such force.

Therefore, now the officers and soldiers of several battalions in Huachi County really cherish the horses, and they don't even need to be ordered by the generals above, they also wash the horses every day, and in winter, they deliberately wash them with warm water.

Wang Ju nodded, and then asked, "Is there any movement on the other side of the mountain?" ”

What he said was not referring to the Western Xia army, which was too late, but to the gathering of troops.

"Not yet."

"That's the best, in the autumn, after more than half a year of strong training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be further improved, and the new cavalry battalion of the Baojie Army can also be officially put to use, and some inferior armor weapons can be eliminated and replaced with new armor weapons."

"Sun Gong is in Gyeongju, and I'm still very worried." Yao said worriedly.

Once the Western Xia officially invaded, it would not be the army that had been plundered last year, it would be an innumerable army. Even if Wang Ju and himself trained these battalions of officers and soldiers into the Tang Army, they would not be opponents of others. Although the number of troops on the battlefield may not determine the final outcome of the battle, and there are many examples in history of winning more with less, the difference in strength to a certain point is not determined by strategy and strength.

Unless all the officers and soldiers of Huachi County are fierce generals who have won a hundred battles, and the military ability of himself and Wang Ju can also be compared to Li Jing, then these thousands of people are enough.

But that's not possible.

"General Yao, don't worry, the lieutenant envoy has just gone to Yanzhou, and I believe they will return to the capital in a few days. They came down to see if I had any private soldiers. ”

"Raising private soldiers?" Yao was surprised.

"Yanchen, don't you just like to talk nonsense, it's okay, the official family won't take it seriously."

"Who said that?"

"General Yao, don't ask, no matter who said it, you can't afford to be guilty, and I can't afford to be guilty. Also, don't spread it out so as not to demoralize. ”

"I can't really say."

"Yes, but I'm not the main thing, the main thing is to check whether Sun Gong is greedy or not."

"No wonder ......"

"You get the idea, I say that, right?"

"Who is the court going to transfer over?"

"I don't know much about this, besides, Sun Gong is transferred, and it will take a while for Xinzhizhou to take office."

"Even if Xinzhizhou takes office, I'm still worried, even like Sun Gong in front, although he is not greedy, but he is also weak."

"No, I have already reflected the Gyeongju crisis as the Chinese envoy, the imperial court may or may not believe it, but just in case, they will inevitably choose a cadre to come to Gyeongju. If you are not afraid of having a heart, you are afraid of not having a heart. If you have a heart, my dynasty is so big, it's okay to find a few cadres. ”

Yao Ji obviously didn't know much about the inside story of the court, and thought about it: "That's the same." ”

As long as the Xinzhizhou sent dares to fight, maybe the road will be repaired, and Yanzhou will also be able to send some rescuers. Then the Western Xia sent a large army to invade. There is no need for the officers and soldiers of Huachi County to share the pressure. When the time comes, we will be able to find a chance to win. And then victory is the real victory.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What if the Western Xia and Autumn Queens don't invade?" ”

If that's the case, Wang Juke will be embarrassed, and maybe many people will laugh at Wang Ju for being a soldier.

"It's extremely unlikely, if that's the case, I can't wait, General Yao, do you think I want war? Even if he won all three battles last year. Many good sons also died, and some of the soldiers I was very familiar with, but they fell one by one. Wang Juju said awe-inspiringly: "Maybe when the truth gets out, some people will laugh at me, but so what! I told you last year that I am willing to go to hell for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people. And a little sneer. ”

At this time, it was impossible, in history, Li Liangzuo's invasion in the autumn of this year was not Li Liangzuo's temporary intention.

It proves that the harvest in Western Xia this year is good. The economy and people's livelihood are very good in all aspects. The interior is relatively stable, and there is a basis for dispatching a large army.

Unless he can kill tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Western Xia last year.

With just a few thousand soldiers and horses, what damage can it do to a large country?

On the contrary, Li Liangzuo was even more asked to send troops, perhaps even more troops than in history.

"Zi'an, I'll go in with you." Yao Ji said excitedly.

…………

The first month of Gyeongju is still cold, but it will not be as windy and snowy as in the depths of winter, and the snow and ice on the sunny ground are gradually melting.

Therefore, Wang Ju transferred the prisoners of war from the coal pit again, and stopped digging coal, not the coal in the coal pit was dug up, yes, why did Wang Ju ask Zhu Qing to buy the coal pit in the first place, it was that coal pit was rich in coal reserves.

However, the amount of coal used in Huanqing Road is very small, and the coal pit is a bit remote from the two cities, and the road is rugged, and it happens to be the time when the snow and ice fall, so the sales volume is less than 1,000 stone a day. It seems that there are a lot of alas, and it has to be pulled by more than a hundred large cars.

But is it more?

A heavy truck can carry more than 100 tons and more than 2,000 stones. The combined sales of the two days are less than one heavy truck pulled by one car.

So if you don't dig it, even if you dig it up now, it will have to be sold for several months, and you have to send someone to manage it.

Thousands of laborers were divided into two routes, one way with the people to pull coal to the yard and workshop, and all the way to continue to build roads, mainly roads.

Wang Ju and Ge Shaohua said very clearly, in terms of importance, it must be more important in Huafu Road, but it is not important if it is not useful, it can only be said that with this road, it will be better than not having this road, and it is also a road that can communicate with the outside world, which plays a more or less role in business and people's livelihood, and what if it comes in handy?

But the main focus is on the road from Fengchuan Town to Dunzhou.

The hustle and bustle begins again.

The Lantern Festival has also arrived.

The eldest son of the second son of Quan said wryly: "Da Lang, the one in my family wants to go to Gyeongju to see the lights." ”

The little daughter-in-law he married last year was good, but she was the daughter of a very responsible fourth-class family in her hometown, and after getting married, the couple returned to Huachi County. And this little lady is very diligent, so Wang Ju took out a big red envelope.

However, because of her strict family education, his little daughter-in-law rarely goes out, and she has never even been to the county seat. Hearing the wild dragon Basheng boasting, she moved her mind.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the eldest son of the whole two sons, no matter how lively the Gyeongju Lantern Festival is, is there still the liveliness of the capital? However, the newlywed Yan'er, his wife begged, what should I do, and the second eldest son had to ask Wang Ju to make this request.

Wang Ju laughed and said, "What's not to say about this, go ahead, you guys go to Gyeongju to see the Lantern Festival." ”

"How can that be?"

"In Huachi Town, I still need your protection?" Wang Ju asked. The current Wang Ju is not Wang Ju who only came to Huachi County last year, that person dares to be unfavorable to Wang Ju and wants to die. Maybe if you don't do anything in front, you will be beaten to death by a group of fans.

In fact, this year, Huachi Town is also lively, from the beginning of the first month, Wang Ju organized everyone to sing, and before the Spring Festival, and from the Xixia side in exchange for two hundred cattle, the price is a bit expensive, the cost price of each cow has reached more than seven times. If you follow the profit of the previous private traders, then you have to sell it for at least a dozen yuan.

But that's the normal bull price.

The price of cattle in the Song Dynasty was an unreasonable market price controlled by the imperial court, so if there was a mule and a donkey for more than ten yuan, and a cow for only five yuan? Speaking of transportation, which one pulls more goods between cattle and donkeys? Speaking of transportation, isn't an ox cart more comfortable than riding a donkey? Speaking of its own price, how much meat can the cow take, and there is also cowhide and tendon. But how much meat can a donkey slaughter?

These cattle were bought, not for Fanzi, but for the Han people to plough the land.

One is to reward filial sons, the second is to reward brave warriors, and the third is to reward local good households.

There are also four, but this four is a little weird, that is, some Han households who reward the relatives of the Han and the Han.

This is Wang Ju's national countermeasures, one is to integrate and sinicize, including the current large-scale Xingge, and the other is to deliberately disperse the huge Fan people as much as possible, so as not to condense them into a larger tribe.

Li Sangou once asked questions, Wang Ju only asked a few words, do you know what kind of virtue the Murong clan over there in Huanzhou has become now? Can they really stand up to the imperial court? Is the name of the tribe important, or is it important for countless descendants to live better? The predecessor of your party was the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people took the initiative to integrate with the Han people, and it seems that the Xianbei people have disappeared, but do you know how many Han people in the north now have the blood of the Xianbei people? I'm afraid I have some Xianbei blood in me. Also, how much Xianbei blood does Li Shimin have, sue you, three-quarters!

Li Sangou was stupid on the spot, and then roared! Be happy.

Li Sangou said these words to the Fanzi of all ethnic groups, and the Fanzi was also excited, that is Tang Taizong, the first emperor of the ages! Really? If someone said to Li Shimin that you have the blood of the Xianbei people in your body, Li Shimin would not be angry, and if someone said to Li Shimin that you have the same roots and blood as the party members, Li Shimin will definitely drain this person's mouth full of front teeth. However, Wang Ju's intention has been achieved, why bother to divide it so clearly, as early as six or seven hundred years ago, Fan Han was a family, why can't he get along well?

However, Huachi County has limited financial resources, and when the Lantern Festival arrives, many families also start to put up lanterns, but the official can't spare the money to host the lively Lantern Festival. So Wang Ju asked everyone to go to Gyeongju together.

Of course, he still has to stay, after all, he is the parent official of a county, and he can't leave his "children" alone and go to see the excitement.

The Wang family and his family went to Gyeongju, there were a lot of people, Gui Niang Lang buried his wife, plus two children, Zhu Jun and his wife plus a child, Yelong Basheng and his wife plus two sons, Wang Mian sister and brother and Li Fei'er, Ge Shaohua, Zhong Er, Wang Xiaomazi, 6 Ping, Zhao Zhuang.

It turned out that there was still Li Sangou's wife at home, but he went to Xihuaqi with Li Sangou.

So the Wang family was left with only Wang Ju alone.

However, he was not at home, but in the county office, and several tables of wine banquets were set up to entertain the main officials of Huachi County, as well as the elderly and the prestigious chiefs of various ethnic groups.

Let's have a good time.

Ge Shaohua took everyone to Gyeongju City, although Gyeongju City was not as good as the capital on this day, but it was also very lively, crowded with people, Ge Shaohua said: "6 Ping, the eldest son of the whole two, Baa Sheng, will be optimistic about everyone, no accidents, and no big guys can be scattered." ”

"Don't worry."

The sky is getting dark, the lanterns are blooming, and 6 Ping and the eldest son of the whole two, the wild dragon Basheng protect everyone watching the lanterns.

At this moment, Zhu Jun suddenly heard a nice female voice say, "This lantern riddle concubine can guess it." ”

Such a familiar voice, Zhu Jun looked back and saw a young girl.

Suddenly, the man had a dim lamp...... (To be continued!)
