Chapter 159: Money (Part 1)

Wang Ju pulled Sun Changqing aside and whispered: "Sun Gong, this person is from the other side of the mountain. It turned out to be a general of Iron Harrier, who had commanded more than a thousand Iron Harrier."

"The Xixia people, a general, Iron Harrier?" Sun Changqing was stunned. He was much better than Wang Wenliang, who was taken in by Cheng Kan.

“That’s right.”

"Why did he escape to your small village?"

"I offended someone there and couldn't survive, so I took my wife to Wangjia Village."

"Why don't you surrender to the court?" Sun Changqing finally realized that if this is the case, it would be a talent. In fact, Wang Juyou hasn't said that Li Sangou is a side general under Ye Li Yuqi, and Ye Li Yuqi still appreciates Li Sangou very much and is a member of the Ye Li clan, Sun Changqing would pay more attention to it. But he has to consider Li Sangou's feelings, and Ye Li is also a good card and cannot be revealed for the time being.

"Mr. Sun, think about meeting a family in the mountains."

"Guo Guan made a frustration in the court, and he didn't do anything to repair the bribe..."

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Cheng is doing a good job, but they may not think so. The court ordered the court to go to Qin and Chu, so he was not willing to surrender to the court. If I had not persuaded him for a long time, he would not have come out."

"If this is the case, it's okay to be an instructor." Sun Changqing pondered. It was actually nonsense. Can you lead more than a thousand iron kites and not even hundreds of foreign troops?

"That's certainly, otherwise how could I make this request."

"Gunpowder has nothing to do with him."

"No matter who improves it, it will be handed over to the court anyway. Li Sangou doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he always has to find an excuse for him."

"You," Sun Changqing was happy, pointed at Wang Ju's nose and said, "Okay, I promised you, but I still have to wait for the imperial edict to come down. Only then can he be justified instructed."

There is no mention of picking troops and forming battalions. It is too easy for so many archers and strong men to pick out a battalion of troops. Anyway, the Song Dynasty soldiers are so redundant, so what's the harm in having a battalion? Even Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were reluctant to be more redundant.

"You are satisfied, why don't you go to Huachi quickly."

"Here."

"You can train troops, but you can't be impatient. It's best to ask the three dogs for advice." Sun Changqing was still a little worried, after all, he was hairless and could not do anything.

"I know, not only Li Sangou..." There is another person, Yao Yao, but Yao Yao Yi is not famous yet. With these two assistants, it is enough to lead Huachi's military affairs.

"Go to Huachi quickly."

After Sun Changqing finished speaking, he asked the yamen runners to carefully pack up the treasures brought by Wang Ju, and he had to give them to the court immediately. The soldiers should be strong and the weapons should be profitable.

…………

Get it and get it.

A crisp sound of horse hooves sounded from the clear black water of Huachi.

"Dalang, what a strange county town." Quan Er's eldest son said.

Huachi City is very small, less than six miles in radius, and its city style is also strange. It is built on the southern mountain. Therefore, the wall from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain has a drop of nearly 60 meters. Then a small square city was established at the top of the mountain, which is the county government.

After staring at this small town, Li Sangou said, "Building in this way will make it easier to defend and difficult to attack."

"Uncle Sangou is right. There are many cities in Goryeo, including Goryeo. Most of them are built in this way. Therefore, Emperor Taizong of Tang attacked twice, but did not annihilate Goguryo."

But Wang Ju glanced at the West. Although Huachi Town was dangerous, it was not the main battlefield of the future, and the main battlefield had to go west.

However, Wang Ju felt sad that although this cake was beautiful, it was not so easy to grab. It was a hundred thousand enemy troops! He had to make a lot of preparations and face many difficulties.

Gradually, when he arrived in Huachi Town, Wang Ju strangled his horse, turned over and got off the horse, put on his official uniform, and prepared to enter the city.

Dashun's blood actually started from now on...

Seeing Wang Ju enter the city, the soldiers guarding the city immediately went to Xiaofangcheng on the top of the mountain to report.

Wu Zhixian came down from afar and said as soon as he met, "Miss Wang, I have been waiting for a long time."

He was so happy that he could do what he could do in this broken place? He could not make contributions if he wanted to make contributions, and he could not make money even if he wanted to make money. Good luck if he left early.

Wang Ju also politely returned the gift.

The two handed over, including official seal, account book and inventory.

Wang Ju opened the account book and looked at it briefly without looking closely. From his perspective, even if Magistrate Wu was not greedy for the ink, he would remember this account in a mess. Even if he was greedy for the ink, Wang Ju didn't want to cause trouble for him.

Then, look at the distribution of troops in Huachi carefully, this is what he cares about the most.

The formal army had only eight battalions, the third battalion Zhenwu, the third battalion Dinggong, the first battalion Poche, and the first battalion of Fanhu. There were nearly 2,488 clans of Pingrong Town, and 171 strong men, which were combined into 141 teams. Liyuan Fort, 13 tribes, 2,221 strong men, 394 strong horses, which were eighty-two teams. Huachi Town, 2,362 strong men, 18 strong horses, which were 12 teams. Fengchuan Town, 2,33 tribes, which were 8,75 strong men, and 1,43 strong horses, which were twenty teams.

Strong people refer to militias composed of various foreign tribes, and they have different names: foreign soldiers, foreign archers, foreign bravery, foreign catches life, and strong people. Strong horses are foreign militias with their own horses and horses.

Generally, there are ten people in the first team, but considering the irregularity of the foreign militia, it is not very standard. In fact, the first team is close to twenty people.

There are also some wing troops and the righteous brave men composed of Han people.

Wang Ju is not sure how many troops can be used, but Wang Ju is not sure about how many people can be used now.

After reading it, Wang Ju closed the copywriting and account book and said, "That's it."

Wu Zhixian County was overjoyed: "Since Magistrate Wang felt that there was no problem, I left."

It’s better to leave early?

"So urgent?"

"I am from Guanzhong, and Huachi is the border area. I will keep my family in my hometown together. This time I can hand over it. I want to rush back to see my family."

"Then I'll give you one."

Wang Ju took the county officials to send Wu Zhi County out of the city gate, and then everyone paid a visit to Wang Ju. There were still some people in the city, huddling on both sides of the street to watch the fun and discussing. Wang Ju was too young, and everyone was curious.

Some local gentry rushed over to welcome Wang Ju.

Wang Ju waved his hand: "I am a member of the Security Army, not far from Huachi, so don't be too careful."

If it weren't for the age of young, it would make everyone feel friendly.

"Let's go back together. I don't like to bother others."

Let everyone disperse, Wang Ju and his officials returned to the small square city on the top of the mountain. The county government was on it. Wang Ju looked at the county magistrate and said, "Chou County Wei, can you rent a house for me?"

"Okay, it'll be done soon." said Qiu County Wei.

Many houses invaded Xixia, including Huachi County, also migrated to the rear. Although the city was small, there were many empty houses and the rent was very cheap.

When Qiu County Magistrate left, Wang Ju looked at everyone again and said, "Huachi County was very small. Xixia invaded and many people migrated. You will not take this government affairs seriously, nor will I take it seriously."

Everyone burst into laughter together. This little magistrate is interesting, and I will tell the truth.

"But if the people are here, we must govern it. The foreign tribes have the same attitude as the imperial court. The foreign tribes have the laws of the people, and they are mainly quiet and quiet. They must not harass them for no reason, so as not to let Liangzuo's children get apart. There are also some Han villages, so they should not harass them. Be quiet and inaction are the best, and trouble is the best."

"Here." Everyone responded together.

It seems that this little magistrate, like Wu magistrate, makes it better for everyone not to be troubled. Qingjing is a good saying, but everyone also likes it.

"Then let's break up."

Everyone left, and then Wang Ju took out the copy and handed it to Li Sangou: "Uncle Sangou, look, there are a lot of strong people."

There are 47 tribes in four towns, with nearly 5,600 strong men and more than 800 strong horses. They are mainly distributed in Liyuan Fort and Pingrong Town. Starting from Fengchuan and Huachi Town, most of them are mixed with the Han people, mainly with the Han people as the auxiliary, and there are foreign tribes, but the size of the foreign tribes is much smaller. For example, the 23 tribes of Fengchuan Town have only about 800 strong men, not just one, but very small villages, even worse than Wangjia Village.

"There are still fewer horses, and you still have to be rich." Li Sangou said.

The foreign militia were treated better than the Han militia. These people were very strong and would not cause any ruthlessness or deprivement. Moreover, the foreigners did not bear any taxes from the court, and their obligation was to provide foreign troops and various foreign militias.

But Wang Juyao's army was not a militia, but a foreign land.

Even the Fan Desolation was different. The Song Dynasty prohibited cavalry from lacking horses, and the Fan Desolation also lacked horses. Of course, when organized, there is no need to worry about the combat effectiveness and cavalry skills of these people. But there is also the problem. First, these Fan Desolation troops were mostly Dangxiang people, holding grudges and not uniting with each other. How to tie them together would be a problem. Secondly, the Fan Desolation troops were relatively low, so they were not very loyal to the Song Dynasty. If they wanted to be loyal, they had to improve their treatment. In this way, those strong horses could be willing to be organized into Fan Desolation by Wang Ju.

"Don't hurry this, take it slowly. Let's learn about the local situation first." Wang Ju said.

This time, I came to Huachi and brought Li Sangou's old wife, Li Zhuang, and his son Li Zhuang. In addition, Quan Erchang and Lu Ping were both. Moreover, Quan Erchang was going back to get married in Qiuhou. Wang Ju had some insufficient hands.

But there is no hurry. This will take him next year and there is still more than a year to prepare.

Quan Erchang and Lu Ping looked at Li Sangou and Wang Ju with envious eyes. Li Sangou turned his head and said, "You two boys should not stare at me with such eyes. Follow Magistrate Wang well, it is better than being an instructor."

What is the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister?

Qiu County Wei quickly found a house, just halfway up the mountain, with a nice scenery. You can see the Huachi Water behind the mountain winding eastward, and it is also close to the county government, but it is a bit troublesome to use water.

But this problem is not big. Wang Ju looked at the house again, and there was also a small garden. Behind the mountain wall, many roses were carried, like stars, and they were embedded on the green leaves. There were two grapes, stretching to the railings of the attic.

"Just this one, please trouble County Magistrate Qiu."

"How dare," said Qiu County Wei. Maybe he was a little contemptuous in his heart, but he had to respect him on the surface. After all, Wang Ju is not the magistrate of Wu, but he is only from various subjects, and he is a good-for-growing girl. However, this was Wang Ju's first difficulty.

He is a second-level Jinshi and is more than enough to serve as a small county magistrate, but he is indeed too young and is easily despised by everyone. He doesn’t even have respect, so how can he do things?

Li Sangou's wife packed the house, Quan Erchang and Lu Ping went down to move their luggage.

Wang Ju personally picked up the water and cooked tea for Qiu County Wei. He was all colleagues, so he didn't have to put on airs. He had to see what his attitude was in the future.

County Magistrate Qiu said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Wait a minute, let's go down the mountain and have a meal together."

A few people had a casual meal, but were not very particular about Wang Ju. After so many years of hard life, they also chatted with diners while having a meal. Therefore, the first thing left to the people of Huachi is that they are very small, delicate, happy, approachable, and easy-going.

Cheng Kan would be very happy when he heard this evaluation.

As dusk gradually came, Wang Ju took Li Sangou and the others back and said on the way: "We will go to Liyuan Castle tomorrow."

How could you really like the quietness? However, when Wang Ju said this, he looked at a caravan pulling goods and slowly sailing towards Huachi Town with meaningful eyes...

"Private goods," said Quan Er's eldest son.

ps: Some readers said they couldn't understand the previous one, so I explained it. Because the results of the previous book were so bad, I lazily wrote dozens of chapters before I passed it to the editor for review. In order to be cautious, the editor asked me to modify it four or five times. This was a modification of more than 100,000 words, and it was impossible to rewrite it all at once. Therefore, some rewritten it, some deleted it, and some copied the previous text. So some were a little out of touch. This is a fact, but this situation will not happen later.
Chapter completed!
