Chapter 65: A New Appointment
The development of new football allowed Wu Zhi to see new business opportunities, and he took advantage of the trend to publish an article in the name of Wanda Football Club in Qiushi Weekly, advocating the development of new football across the country, and proposing to hold a super league, where each place can choose to send a team to participate in the competition.
After the initiative of the Super League was issued, Wu Zhi no longer thought about this issue, and the new football sport was not achieved overnight, and it was impossible to form a trend of national participation in the short term, and the mature mechanism and market still needed to be cultivated slowly. But the seeds have been sown, and it is a matter of course that the seeds have taken root, sprouted and even thrived, and when the time comes, there will be a natural harvest.
Wu Zhi was concerned about something else. After the charity performance, the new toilet in the Wanda Football Stadium attracted everyone's attention, the neat and convenient urinal, which can be called a safe, odorless and refreshing stool place, which made everyone admire and amaze, and their hearts were excited. Everyone can see the mystery of the urination, but no matter how everyone breaks the braincase, they can't see the mystery of how the urine can not smell, and they have inquired but have nowhere to ask.
Seeing everyone's interest in the new toilet, Wu Zhi captured a huge business opportunity, that is, the renovation of sanitary toilets will form a huge market, and the sanitary products needed are immeasurable. As long as he can seize the opportunity and develop practical bathroom products, he can seize the market and earn the first pot of gold in the bathroom market!
Just do it, Wu Zhi began to work on design. In addition to being on duty, after countless days and nights of ideation and deletion, he simplified the splinter, from the large washstand, bracket, pillar, squatting toilet, water tank, water diversion pottery pipe, to the water trap, interface, water stop valve, foot, carton and other supporting bathroom devices to design, and painted into drawings, a total of several sets of dozens of kinds, the materials are ceramic, wooden, and iron.
This design took Wu Zhi nearly two months, and time flew like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the end of September, and the autumn wind was blowing.
When Wu Zhi was about to put his design into action and turn it into a product, the war he expected finally came as scheduled, and he could only put the development and production plan of bathroom products on hold for the time being.
On the 25th day of September, the weather was still a bit hot and humid at the end of autumn. Wu Zhi was on duty in the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion, and he happened to have nothing to do, and when he was bored shaking his pu fan to cool off, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then saw Yang Jian walking into the office house.
"Master Wu, come with our family, the official family is urgent!" Yang Jian saw that Wu Zhi was sitting at the desk, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said.
Wu Zhi looked at Yang Jian, only to see that he was sweating profusely, and it was estimated that he had trotted all the way.
"Yang Diantou is good!" Wu Zhi said unhurriedly, then slowly put down the pu fan before getting up and walking out with him. Seeing that he was in a hurry, it was estimated that Zhao Xu was in a hurry to find him, so he didn't bother to ask any more, and followed Yang Jian directly.
Yang Jian saw him so neatly this time, he didn't ask, he was still thinking about how to answer his question, but he found that he didn't need it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his footsteps paused.
"Let's go, Yang Diantou!" Seeing that he paused, Wu Zhi hurriedly urged.
Yang Jian came back to his senses, nodded incessantly, and then hurriedly led the way in front of him, but he kept muttering in his heart: "This time, how did Master Wu change his sex?" ”
Wu Zhi followed Yang Jian unhurriedly to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, got into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and was driven by a small eunuch and went straight to the palace.
After arriving in front of the right door, getting off the carriage, and after being inspected by the guards of the Imperial City Division, Yang Jian led Wu Zhi into the palace and hurried to the vertical arch hall.
The two of them came to the front of the Vertical Arch Palace, and after Yang Jian's return to announce the summons, Wu Zhi greeted the palace guards on both sides, and walked up the stairs without hurry and walked into the Vertical Arch Palace. Walking through the crowd of people who were standing in the early court, Wu Zhi clearly felt that the eyes of all the court ministers were complicated and inexplicable, and they all looked sideways, staring at him tightly, silently watching him walk in with a very strange look.
After standing in front of His Majesty, Wu Zhi bowed and saluted, and then shouted: "See Your Majesty!" Your Majesty is well! After that, he stood quietly on the spot, waiting for Zhao Xu to speak.
"Wu Qing's family is exempt!" Zhao Xu said quite seriously, listening to his tone a little deep, and he was very angry.
Wu Zhi raised his head and looked at Zhao Xu in confusion. I haven't seen him for more than a year, Zhao Xu's spirit is obviously much better than before, his face is ruddy, his waist is straight, it seems that he is very attentive to the meditation and boxing techniques given by Professor Wu Zhi, and he will have such an effect if he does not quit studying diligently. Wu Zhi's heart suddenly became happy.
"Urgently summoning Wu Qing's family to come, there is an important military situation that needs to be discussed." Looking at Wu Zhi's puzzled eyes, Zhao Xu seemed to be in a good mood, so he waved to Hao Sui, who was standing down, handed the things on the desk to Hao Sui, and said, "Report the pond to Wu Qing's house." ”
After taking the Tang newspaper handed over by Hao Sui, Wu Zhi quickly browsed it, only to find that this was military intelligence sent urgently from 800 miles in the northwest, saying that a few days ago, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of the Western Xia, together with Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia, was violently attacking the front line of Hengshan in the northwest, and had passed through the Wuyan Gorge, and the troops were under the city of Pingxia, and they were besieging Pingxia City; The Xixia Sixth Route Unified Army was heavily stationed in the area of Tiandu Mountain, and the Xishou Supervisor Army Si Mei Le Du Tun was heavily stationed in the Yanzi Mountain, and the two road armies were used as the rear army of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and Li Qianshun, known as the army of one million. Now the front line of Hengshan in the northwest is already in flames. Zhang Qi felt that the situation was urgent and the pressure was great, so he rushed to send a report to the imperial court for help.
Wu Zhi looked at it and calmly returned the Tang Bao to Hao Sui, and he was not surprised or excited at all about what was expected. Wu Zhi finally understood why Zhao Xu urgently summoned him to participate in the court meeting, it turned out that the Western Xia had finally committed a big offense, and the court urgently needed a good plan to deal with it.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that he was as calm as ever after reading the Tang Newspaper, his face did not change his face and his heart did not beat, and he did not have an ecstatic youthful attitude. Wu Zhi was calm, but everyone was not calm, looking at Wu Zhi as if they were looking at a monster. The Northwest Tang News said that the military situation was almost exactly the same as Wu Zhi's prediction more than a year ago, and everyone was only surprised and inexplicable.
Zhao Xu looked at Wu Zhi's indifferent appearance, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly, and he was surprised.
Seeing that his fairy-like prediction came true, but he was not complacent, and he could still be calm, this Wu Zhi was also a strange person. Moreover, the meditation and boxing techniques taught to him by Wu Zhi are also very miraculous, and after only practicing for more than a year, he feels that his body has obviously undergone amazing changes, and the effect of strengthening his body is very good. So now Zhao Xu is paying more and more attention to Wu Zhilai, and is thinking about how to promote and appoint him.
Zhao Xu and everyone were thinking about their hearts, and in an instant, the hall was silent, and the scene was very strange. Wu Zhi had no choice but to cough lightly, which woke everyone up like thunder.
"After reading the Tang newspaper, can the Wu Qing family have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?" Zhao Xu reacted, a little embarrassed, so he had to ask with a smile.
"Back to Your Majesty! In fact, the good strategy of retreating from the enemy has long been there, and it is the strategy mentioned by the minister before. The first is to defend the fortified city, and return to the outside of the city to attack and disturb, that is, the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase; The second is to dare to surprise the troops, several large armies broke into the territory of Western Xia, surrounded and annihilated the enemy of Tiandu Mountain and Yanzi Mountain, cut off their rear wings, and cut off their back roads. During this period, it is necessary to widely spread spy scouts to carefully probe the military situation, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can retreat from the enemy and compete for their merits! Seeing that Zhao Xu asked knowingly, Wu Zhi had no choice but to repeat the previous strategy, but in more specific detail.
"What a 'enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase'! Good strategy! An Tao knew a little about the military affairs, and couldn't help but high-five when he heard it. Everyone also echoed and nodded yes.
"Okay, then according to what the Wu Qing family said, let's act accordingly! The order was immediately drawn up, and 800 miles were sent to the border in an expedited manner. And mobilize the grain and grass of the Northwest Army for three months from Jingdong Road and Hebei East and West Road, and the household department and the military department will jointly complete it! ”
Zhao Xu was very happy to see that everyone was convinced of Wu Zhi's strategy, and quickly made a final decision and decided to act according to Wu Zhi's strategy.
After seeing Zhao Xu adopt his own strategy, Wu Zhi thought about it and decided to fight again, so he took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Northwest Front to help my Northwest Army." ”
"Good! The Wu Qing family has this will, and I am very pleased! Zhao Xu originally wanted to send Wu Zhi to the northwest front line to help Zhang Qi retreat from the enemy, but he was afraid that Wu Zhi would be unwilling, so he never mentioned it. Now that he saw Wu Zhi put it forward by himself, he was in the middle of it, and Zhao Xu just pushed the boat down the river to fulfill his wishes.
"Then what else does the Wuqing family want? Come! Zhao Xu thought for a moment and asked with a smile. From time to time, he sent Hao Sui to inquire about Wu Zhi's situation, and the name of Zhuangyuanlang became well-known to passers-by with the hot sales of the Zhuangyuan series of wines, and the limelight was no different. Wu Zhi was not short of money, so Zhao Xu also wanted to know what kind of requirements he could have.
"Request?" Wu Zhi pondered for a moment, his heart lit up, and he thought of an idea, so he bowed and saluted and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister does have a request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it!" ”
"Huh? What a thing! The people in the court thought that he had beaten the snake with the stick, and they all looked at him with strange eyes, and they all whispered about it.
When Zhao Xu heard this, he was also stunned in his heart, and he couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only respond: "Oh! Wu Qing's family will listen to it. ”
"Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to allocate a battalion of men and horses to form a battalion of new troops, and go out with the ministers, and the command of the sergeants in the battalion will be decided by the ministers!" Wu Zhi said boldly, he needs to cultivate his own lineage, so start with the forbidden army!
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, they originally thought that Wu Zhi might ask for some gold and silver goods and other things, and they were waiting to see his jokes, but what he asked for was to form a new army, and they couldn't help but feel a little lost in their hearts.
"Oh? Forming a new army? Zhao Xu smiled dumbly, feeling that he had underestimated Wu Zhi. Curious about his proposal, he was interested, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of new army the Wuqing family wants to form?" Is there a charter? ”
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister wants to select 500 officers and soldiers from the infantry forbidden army to form a new battalion, and after a few days of training by the minister, he will go to the northwest front with the minister after ten days and half a month to make contributions to the imperial court. I wonder if Your Majesty will be able to agree? Seeing this, Wu Zhi felt that there was a play, and hurriedly said what he was thinking.
"I'm ready!" Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said. Then he asked, "What is the name of the new army?" ”
"Red Guard Battalion!" Wu Zhi didn't think about it and responded casually.
"Good! Wu Qing's family listens to Xuan! Proposed purpose: Promote Wuqing's family to invite a doctor, the privy council will accept the decree, honor the guerrilla general, transfer the soldiers and horses of Jingyuan Road to govern the official business, and lead the commander of the right wing of the dragon guard, lead the new army Red Guard battalion, train the new army, from now on select 1,000 people from the left and right compartments of the dragon god guard to form the left and right battalions of the Red Guard, and the battalion commander and other generals will be drawn up by the Wu Qing's family, and they can be approved by the imperial court. Fifteen days later, he immediately went to the front. Zhao Xu said loudly, he didn't bother to discuss with the ministers, and temporarily announced the appointment results directly, and simply added a burden to Wu Zhi.
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they were all taken aback, and Wu Zhi also felt a little unexpected.
Good guy, in order to appoint him, Zhao Xu directly promoted him from the Beijing official of the sixth rank to the Beijing court official of the fifth grade, and he was promoted two levels in a row, and he also held three positions, both civil and military, giving Wu Zhi the greatest right to make his own decisions!
Everyone looked at each other, Cai Jing, Cai Bian and others opened their mouths to speak, but they still couldn't speak. The will that the official Zhao Xu has decided, even if they say it, it is in vain, and it is not pleasing in vain.
Zhang Chun was surprised and a little happy, with Wu Zhi helping Zhang Qi on the northwest front, the probability of successfully retreating from the enemy was much greater, and then the cousin of the commander would have a complete merit, and the whole family would be glorious.
Seeing Zhao Xu's arrangement, Wu Zhi knew that he was going to the northwest front in the near future. Glad to see it, Wu Zhi also hopes that he can make some achievements in the military and accumulate military merits, so that he can be qualified to control the army, hold military power, and realize his wishes in the future.
When the dust settled, Wu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister must do his best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations! Thinking of this, Wu Zhi was sure in his heart, and when he saw Zhao Xuzheng staring at him with burning eyes, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him loudly.
His tone was calm, neither happy nor sad, and he did not show much surprise and excitement, which can be described as pampered and not surprised. Seeing this, everyone lamented again, and all kinds of emotions were indescribable. Zhang Chun and Zhao Xu couldn't help but admire him when they saw him so calm and calm.
