For the Mongols, forty lashes were a blow to the skin, and they needed to recuperate for a long time. The son of a hundred Mongolian households was whipped forty lashes after molesting his wife, who was only a kilogram of ten thousand households, and the superior people who knew about this felt that Hao Ren Wanhu was too weak, and those Mongols who opposed the sinicization of Mongolia even laughed at this because Hao Ren had read too many Han books. As for the middle people who knew about this, they felt that Hao Ren Wanhu was really merciful and really good to the Mongols.

Some people knew that Hao Ren had killed more than a dozen big cannibals, and no one took this matter to heart. What's so great about Mongolian households killing some big cannibals?

Just when Hao Ren was working hard at home in order to get his wife pregnant quickly, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, summoned Hao Ren. The Great Khan inquired about the manufacture of Mongol artillery, and Hao Ren reported carefully. When the Great Khan then proposed that Hao Ren be appointed as the Ten Thousand Households of the Northern Expedition, Hao Ren decisively refused, "Great Khan." I don't have ...... children now, oh, I don't have any adult children now. Please also ask the Great Khan to let my husband have a few sons. ”

Kublai Khan knew that Hao Ren had kidnapped a woman as his wife in Jiangnan, and he also knew that Hao Ren also had a wife before, and the adults and children were not saved when they had a difficult birth. He also knew that this Jiangnan woman gave birth to a baby named Xiao'er only catty? Hao Kang, however, this baby is not Hao Ren's biological child.

The Golden Family's eldest son of Genghis Khan, Jochi, is very suspicious, so the Golden Family doesn't care much about this kind of thing, but the Golden Family still needs its own bloodline. So the Great Khan said: "I will give you ten Jiangnan women, and give me a good baby in a year." ”

"I'm not a stallion!" Hao Ren immediately refused. Before meeting his sweetheart, Hao Ren was no different from ordinary men. After meeting his sweetheart, he has no intention of messing around.

Looking at Hao Ren's appearance of a bear that did not enter the oil and salt, Kublai Khan was furious, "Let me ask you, how many Mongols can we recruit now with an order?" ”

Hao Ren didn't expect the Great Khan to ask like this, although it was unexpected, it was not difficult for Hao Ren, who had read so many books. After a little deliberation, Hao Ren replied, "At least 150,000." ”

"What about the sea capital of the Chagatai Khanate?" Kublai Khan continued to ask.

Hao Ren frowned, but he continued to answer: "They are in Mobei and Xinjiang, and if they are collected, there must be 100,000." ”

"What about the khanates further west?" Kublai Khan asked.

"Then I don't know." Hao Ren replied decisively.

Kublai Khan snorted and said coldly: "If we can unify several khanates, my Great Mongolia will be able to recruit millions of Mongolian iron horsemen." At that time, will Song Guo be able to withstand our blow? ”

This description of the future made Hao Ren's eyes light up. He originally thought that the Great Khan and the Song state had ceased war because they could not fight, or because they were influenced by Hao Jing. I didn't expect the Great Khan to have such considerations. Indeed, if Mongolia can be unified again, and all the Mongolian khanates can be unified under the banner of Kublai Khan, with the current vast territory and population of Mongolia, it is not impossible to destroy the Song Dynasty.

The pride rose for a moment, and Hao Ren's heart calmed down again. The current Mongolia is not the Mongolia of Genghis Khan, a vast territory spanning tens of thousands of miles from east to west, and those khanates dare to be independent, isn't it because the Great Khan Kublai Khan can't reach it. If you want to unify Mongolia, you need to go west again. It will take many years.

"Hao Ren, I am ready to appoint you as Jing Zhaoyin. At the same time, he presided over the matter of casting cannons. Great Khan Kublai Khan said. Originally, the Great Khan was going to explain the reason for this arrangement to Hao Ren again. Kublai Khan had a high degree of identification with Hao Ren, and felt that this young Mongolian Wanhu had some governance skills in addition to fighting. One of the purposes of making him an important general in the Western Expedition is also to hope that Hao Ren can give full play to his talents along the way. But looking at the disobedient appearance of this bastard who indulged in women, Kublai Khan just coldly issued an order and let Hao Ren go down.

Coming out of the palace, although he knew that the Great Khan was unhappy, Hao Ren's attention was still attracted by the Great Khan's strategic considerations. What an amazing dream to unify Mongolia again. In the past, the strength of the Mongol army was actually about the same, so everyone thought that the Northern Expedition was only to solve the Haidu of the Chagatai Khanate. If the Great Khan was really prepared to make full use of the artillery, firearms, and spear formations he had learned from the Song Kingdom, it was entirely possible that the Western Expedition would have reappeared. As long as gunpowder can be guaranteed......

Now that the war has been armistic, do you want to buy some more gunpowder from the Song Kingdom?

As soon as this idea came out, Hao Ren pressed his idea and bought everything from Song Guo. It's also a shame.

After beating his waist, Hao Ren decided to go home first and continue to work. Although the work of making a baby is cool, it is also quite tiring.

Zhao Jiaren, who was far away in Lin'an, didn't know that he might lose a big order, and even if he knew, he wouldn't particularly care. Mongolia will go west in the future, and the Great Song Dynasty will go west now. Gunpowder, Da Song himself is just enough.

The Western Expedition was to be prepared, and Zhao Jiaren sat in the carriage from the Privy Council to the Government Hall, thinking about many arrangements in his heart. When I arrived outside the government hall, I saw people blocking the street. The guards tried to drive the people who blocked the way away, but they didn't expect that the gang not only did not leave, but wanted to get closer. Zhao Jiaren heard someone outside shouting: "The country has not fully recovered, and the imperial examination will be in full, this is not fair!" It's not fair! ”

Zhao Jiaren's concept is the concept of the modern nation-state, and there are many definitions of the modern state, and there are great differences of opinion. However, there is a characteristic of modern countries, that is, they talk about theory. In a sense, it can be said that the modern state is built according to some theory. Because of this, the modern state has a very strong problem of 'political correctness'.

In the People's Republic of China, equality between men and women was established through the system. In Europe and the United States, equality between men and women is at least a slogan. In Africa, gender equality is at best a political pretext.

When other people heard the sentence 'the country has not fully recovered, the imperial examination will be in full amount', they will only think that this is an ulterior motive, and Zhao Jiaren found that he was moved by these words. He called the guards and said, "Tell them that if they want to plead their case, they will send someone out." What is blocking the road? ”

Fifteen minutes later, in front of Zhao Jiaren and the princes of the political affairs hall, there was a Confucian student from Jiangnan West Road. This person has the feeling of a great Song scholar, that is, he can still talk eloquently when he sees the powerful. After all, in the Great Song Dynasty, more than half of the Confucian scholars believed that Zhu Xi's science was pseudo-science, and everyone did not think that they should unconditionally obey the official family. There is no reason to be humble in the face of the big names in the political hall.

This reason is also very serious, since the scholars in Jiangxi cannot participate in the imperial examination, then this full imperial examination is not fair. At the very least, we must leave a place for the fallen land.

Hearing this, every prince in the government hall had a good face. This careful thinking is really boring, there are very few people in Jiangxi who can go to Lin'an, if you leave a place in Jiangxi, won't the chances of this Jiangxi scholar succeeding in the exam greatly increase.

However, the old foxes in the political hall did not speak immediately, and the Zhao Jiaren they knew was not comparable to the old foxes in terms of treachery. The old foxes in the political hall can understand the truth, and Zhao Jiaren has no reason not to see it clearly. Since he asked the opportunists to send representatives in, he must have known it.

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Jiaren nodded slightly, and then spoke, "Everyone, the country still has its land in the hands of the enemy. Sichuan can't send scholars to refer to it. Indeed, we have to think of the scholars who fell into the land. ”

Who wouldn't say pretty things. So all the princes in the political hall nodded and continued to listen to what Zhao Jiaren wanted to say. After expressing his thoughts about the country and the people, Zhao Jiaren sighed: "In this way, there are still three first-class students in the imperial examination, but the second-class and third-class will be halved." At the same time, find a way to publicize this matter in the occupied area, so that no matter where the Great Song Dynasty is, everyone knows that we have these scholars in our hearts. ”

As soon as these words came out, the members of the political hall who were born as cadres all nodded their heads again and again. They thought it was good, and it was indeed a very sincere expression of the imperial court's attitude towards the occupied areas. But the members of the political hall who were born in Jinshi were dumbfounded. Every time the imperial examination is a time when various factions stuff people into the imperial court, Zhao Jiaren halves the number of people in the imperial examination, and many of the candidates who were originally negotiated will be greatly changed, and those officials who are in a hurry to stuff people into the imperial court are a little unbearable.

"Captain, this is not appropriate, isn't it?" Wu Qian said tremblingly.

Zhao Jiaren said with a politically correct face: "What's wrong? Shouldn't we let the scholars in the fallen areas and the scholars in Sichuan feel the attitude of the imperial court? ”

There is no way for everyone to refute this. Political correctness is called correct because it does occupy some kind of moral high ground. The reason why political correctness is deeply hated and abused is only because political correctness is abused by interest groups with ulterior motives. Used in the right place, political correctness has the power to shut up.

So all the hostile eyes fell on the face of the Jiangxi scholar who was summoned to the political hall. If the gaze could contain the same heat as the fierce mood, this Jiangxi scholar would probably turn into a flaming humanoid torch now. Of course, there are already a few people in the political hall who are particularly excited, and they are already thinking about whether to send someone to drag this Jiangxi bastard out and burn him in private, at least burn his troublesome mouth.

And this Jiangxi scholar also had an aggrieved and innocent expression. He and the scholars who were making trouble outside really didn't want to reduce the number of people in the imperial examination, what they wanted was that they could represent the scholars in the occupied areas to go to the gold list to inscribe the name, and then get an official position to serve the imperial court. The reduction in the number of people in the imperial examination means that their chances of passing the examination are greatly reduced. Contrary to their intended intentions.

However, Zhao Jiaren has no intention of letting the gang discuss, and he occupies a politically correct position. So he commanded, "If there's no other reason, do it." ”
