Zhao Mengqi let out a long breath and asked again, "How many horses are there in Lin'an City, including all the imperial horses, official horses, and military horses." ”

Guo Dujian lowered his head and counted his fingers for a while, "About, about 7,000 horses, 3,000 military horses are mainly scattered in the three divisions and armies, and there are more than 2,000 imperial horses, of which 1,000 or thirteen are kinds. Horses are generally not used for passenger use, and most of the more than 2,000 official horses are stagecoaches, and the annual loss is very large. ”

The huge Lin'an, a city of almost two million people, has less than 10,000 horses.

Zhao Mengqi is numb, he wants to sell the horse, the stagecoach can't move, the royal horse may be able to make a little idea, and he has to prevent Lao Zhao from jumping.

Then if you calculate it like this, you can only hit the idea to the army, anyway, Lin'an is not the front line, and it doesn't matter if there is a little less cavalry.

From which troops?

Soon, Qu Moxuan's rough face surfaced in Zhao Mengqi's mind, remembering that he still had a thousand cavalry under him.

Okay, Comrade Lao Qu, I can only wronged you first, and I have to let you be a horseless cavalry for a while.

After chatting with Guo Dujian for a while, I realized that this guy is really a groom, and he is still the kind of horse breeder for generations.

Three or four generations of his family have been working as workers in the Qun Mu Division, and when he came to him, with his excellent horse breeding skills, he actually became the actual head of the Qun Mu Division, which was a miracle in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

If you don't go through the imperial examination, you don't study too much, you don't want to be a civil official in the Great Song Dynasty, it's basically impossible, but this guy did it.

According to himself, what he is best at is breeding, that is, breeding horses, and it can be said that at least half of the foals born in the temple are his credit.

Hey, it's really unseemly, it's just an old man in the horse world.

Zhao Mengqi wrote down this Guo Dujian deeply, and in the future, he needs this guy to make greater contributions to the cause of the Great Song Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the excitement and returning from the defeat, Zhao Mengqi left the Herdsman Division in a daze, and only then did he understand, no wonder Lao Zhao agreed so easily.

After the source of the horse has a target, it can be put away for the time being, and the carriage must be made first.

As a result, Zhao Mengqi ran around the various government offices again, and all the yamen with craftsmen under them did not fall.

He will be the overseer, and will be in charge of the construction of palaces, castles, bridges, ships and chariots, etc., and will be in charge of all civil engineering construction.

After Zhao Mengqi went, he directly asked them to take out the roster, and then took a pen and ticked it on it.

No matter what type of job it is, as long as it requires technology, he wants it if he is old.

The eyelids of the officials who were in charge of the prison jumped, and it was only after they found out that most of them were old and decrepit, and then they calmed down a little.

Next is the Ministry of Industry, the Ordnance Supervisor, the Shaofu Supervisor, and even the Sinong Temple.

After ordering them to send the selected craftsmen to the Yanwang Mansion within three days, Zhao Mengqi left the city satisfied.

On the way back, passing by Dongchi, I saw that many officials and craftsmen who would be supervisors had already measured the data there, calculated the time, and the preparations should be done, and the work would start in about two days.

In order to complete the construction of the school as soon as possible, Zhao Mengqi plans to use manpower to the greatest extent.

Of course, it is certainly not a conscription of labor, but this is the busy season of farming, and this is undoubtedly cutting off the livelihood of those conscripted people for a year.

But Zhao Mengqi is rich now, and will soon have more money, so he plans to hire with a high salary.

Money, what is used is called money, and if it is left in the warehouse, it is just a pile of broken copper and iron.

The transfer of wealth to society through engineering means was a relatively common means in later generations, and Zhao Mengqi also wanted to try the effect.

So the next day, Lin'an Mansion issued a recruitment notice, which made Lin'an City more lively.

"Have you heard, King Yan wants to be a fortune boy."

"Three hundred wen a day, including food, and working for a month, but it is a net profit of nine yuan!"

"The work is still simple, as long as you have the strength to do it, it's easier than me walking the streets and alleys to send calls."

"I also want to go, but the notice says that it is better to ask those displaced people, especially those from the Taihu Lake."

"King Yan is benevolent, the people who broke down in Taihu Lake before scolded King Yan every day."

"You can't blame them for this, who let the rumors fly all over the sky at that time, don't we believe it too?"

"Yes, yes, if you want to blame only those plagued thieves and bald donkeys, the monk in our alley used to look full of compassion, but I didn't expect it to be a human-faced beast, enough to poison seven families."

"You said that such a person was poisoned, where can we prevent it, now in my workshop, bald donkeys are no longer allowed to enter or leave."

"Those dog officials have all been killed, and the exiles have been exiled, why haven't you seen the demon monks in Bao'en Temple cut a thousand knives."

"How can you kill so quickly, haven't you heard, there are still many spies that haven't been found, how can you check if they are all killed?"

"I heard my aunt and uncle say that many Buddhist temples are involved in those demon monks, I think the imperial court should investigate them well!"

"I'm afraid this is not good, if the pure land of Buddhism is always sent in and out, what is that like?"

"Hehe, how can I know if it's really a pure land or a place where dirt and dirt are hidden if I don't check it, anyway, if I haven't been checked by the imperial court, I don't dare to believe it anymore, let alone go there to worship the Buddha."

"Hey...... In fact, it's good to check, we can also feel at ease. ”

This public opinion, under the guidance of the secret agents of the Imperial City Division, gradually set off distrust and disgust for Buddhism.

When many of the virtuous monks heard this, they couldn't sit still, put away the shelves that had been high before, and used various methods to win the hearts of the believers.

The effect is a little bit, but the incense of each temple is still falling hard, and even the famous temples such as Lingyin Temple are full of people.

The presiding officers of the temples were so anxious that their mouths were full of foam, and if they hadn't lost their hair a long time ago, they would have lost a large chunk.

They united and went to Lin'an Mansion to exert pressure, asking the government to come forward to refute the rumors, but they were told that the prefect Ma Guangzu went to inspect the road and was not in Lin'an, and no one did this thing.

I didn't go to patrol in the morning, I didn't go to patrol in the evening, but I went at this time, and even a fool could see that he was deliberately avoiding them.

If you can't find the main owner of Lin'an Mansion, then go to find other yamen, anyway, there are many yamen in Lin'an City.

As soon as the abbot presided over the meeting, they all ran to the government hall, and when they were stopped by the guard sergeants, they showed their shameless spirit and actually meditated on the royal street, meaning that they would not leave without seeing the prime minister.

Although public opinion has criticized Buddhism very much, the sergeants did not dare to drive people away from these 'highly respected' monks, so they could only watch with dry eyes.

Seeing that escaping was not the way, Dong Huai had no choice but to meet them in person.

The attitude was very kind, and he also expressed that he would try to study and study it as soon as possible, so that he finally sent the monks away.

But after two days passed, the monks found that there was no movement in the imperial court, and they immediately realized that Dong Huai was clearly perfunctory to them.

Just as they were pondering to ask to see the official's house, the Imperial City Division came to the door with a smile like a spring breeze.
