Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 201 Shortsighted?Vision?
On the surface, Ge Yi was respectful to Zhao Kuangyin, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart.

Zhao Kuangyin also heard Ge Yi's implication, and was secretly angry in his heart.

If I can find it, can I still use you?

Of course Zhao Kuangyin remembered the case between his younger brother and Wei Renpu's son-in-law.

Even though these years have passed, they would nod and say hello to each other when they met in the palace, which meant that the grievances and grudges dissipated.

But Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to approach Wei Renpu hastily.

In ancient times, literati had a lot of flirts, and there was a saying that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.

No one can say whether he will secretly set up a trick and specially arrange Wang Yansheng to a dangerous place, or a place where he has no real power to eat and wait to die.

It's better to avoid Wei Renpu.

As for Luo Youdu, let alone Zhao Kuangyin regards him as a competitor.

I already owed him a big favor, if I ask him again, how can I repay the favor I owe him?
Zhao Kuangyin is not an emotional person, but he is not an ungrateful person either.

When it really came to a critical moment, he would not care about any kindness, but in this non-special situation, he still remembered the kindness of funding outside Luzhou City in his heart.

What's more, Zhao Kuangyin didn't think that the affairs of the Dianqian Division could be hidden from Luo Youdu.

It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to put Luo Youdu back on Wang Yansheng, thinking about it.

Leaving aside Wei Renpu and Luo Youdu, the only one left is Cao Shenjun Ge Yi, a member of the Privy Council.

Although Ge Yi does not have the right to make decisions, he has the right to recommend. He is responsible for the promotion of military officials in Jingzhong, and he knows exactly which positions are vacant.Choose one by yourself, whether Wei Renpu approves or not depends purely on God's will.

There is only one position, and Zhao Kuangyin has no additional options.

The inspector of the south gate is indeed a fat job, better than he imagined.

"Then inspector of the South Gate. The recommended person is Wang Yansheng. He has made a lot of achievements for my great Zhou. You can find out when you check it. No matter whether Xianggong Wei agrees or not in the end, I will remember you as a favor."

Ge Yi quickly answered.

The officialdom is a place of favors, Zhao Kuangyin's favors can be obtained, but ordinary people can't ask for them.

Today, Luo Youdu was chatting with Wei Renpu about Da Zhou Ma Zheng in the Privy Council.

Ma Zheng is the most important and troublesome matter of the Privy Council.

The era of cold weapons is inseparable from war horses.

Especially when fighting nomads like the Khitan, they often suffer from the speed of their hands.

However, compared with the convenience of raising horses in the grasslands, the cost of raising horses for the Chinese people who have been farming for generations is too high.

Therefore, compared with Wei Renpu's research on horse politics, Luo Youdu's current thinking is much more straightforward.

What are you doing?

buy!
buy with money.

There is nothing money can't solve.

Luo Youdu didn't have this idea on a whim, but he has studied this aspect recently.

Among the experiences Fu Yanqing gave him was about war horses.

There is a sentence in it commenting on war horses: "The horses born in Fuzhou are the most, and those born in the middle of the Yellow River, called Zihe Branch, have good breeds, followed by those who come out of the ring and celebrate. Although the bones of Qin and Wei horses are tall, but The hooves are thin and often diseased. Wenzhou and Yazhou are the lower states, so they don’t give their own soldiers and stock horses. Khitan horses have poor bones. The breeders in Hebei are called Japanese horses, because they are accustomed to the soil and water, and they are less likely to get sick.”

Later generations often say that there was no horse breeding land in the Song Dynasty, but in fact the best horse breeding land is in Fuzhou, in the Song Dynasty.

That is, the Fugu where the Zhejia is located.

Now studying horse politics, the investment is large and the return is small, and the profit time is too long.

Not worth it at all.

It's really better to buy it directly with money, and then consider the matter of Ma Zheng when the Northern Han Dynasty is destroyed or the situation in Guanlong is stabilized.

"Twenty acres of land can raise one horse, and we lack high-quality horse breeds, and most of the horses we raise are inferior. Instead of doing this, it is better to directly supplement military horses by buying and selling."

To use the example of later generations, it is to make quick money, or to keep flowing.

Earning 100 million at one time is different from losing 200 million in the first five years and earning 1000 and [-] million in the next five years, and there will be a steady stream of money in the future.

The latter is certainly more visionary in the long run.Abandon short-term small profits and pursue long-term interests.

But those who choose the former may not be really short-sighted.

The 100 million acquired is not a number stored in the bank in the hands of individual people, but capital capable of doing many things.

For example, take back Youzhou and take back the northern barrier.

Wei Renpu looked at Luo Youdu in surprise and said: "Your idea is very dangerous and too radical. But I have to say, you are very courageous. If you really win the bet, you will make huge profits, but if something goes wrong, you will lose. You will be defeated, what? nothing."

Luo Youdu said: "If you don't fight hard, it will be extremely difficult to win Youzhou."

Wei Renpu said with emotion: "It's no wonder that the officials value Brother Youdu so much. Brother Youdu's daring to go all out often coincides with the officials. The Battle of Gaoping was like this."

He looked at the time unsatisfied, and said: "It's getting late, so I'll be here today. Think about it when you go back. Let's discuss this matter a lot in the past few days, and you can call Uncle Wen. The result of the debate will come out as soon as possible... ..."

Luo Youdu also stretched and said hello.

He was about to leave.

Wei Renpu stopped him again: "Brother Youdu, are you familiar with Wang Yansheng?"

There was a smile on the corner of Luo Youdu's mouth, which quickly disappeared, and he turned around and said, "I have never met him, but I have heard of some of his deeds. He has a bad temper, and he had some conflicts with his boss... What's wrong?"

Wei Renpu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Ge Yi recommended him as the inspector of the South Gate, what do you think?"

Luo Youdu said: "There is indeed a vacancy for the inspector of the South Gate, and there has been no suitable candidate. I am not familiar with Wang Yansheng, so I can't comment. But I think since Ge Canjun recommended him, I should know him to a certain extent."

Wei Renpu nodded and said, "It makes sense. The old man also admires Ge Canjun's vision. If that's the case, then it's settled."

Luo Youdu said: "The lower officials also think it's okay."

The two reached an agreement in an instant.

Luo Youdu left the Privy Council and returned home.

Luo Youdu threw the reins to Hu Yanzan, walked directly into the back house, and learned that Fu Qing'er was in the warehouse, and walked over lightly.

Seeing her concentrating on counting the silk in front of her, Luo Youdu suddenly hugged her from behind.

"Hate!"

Fu Qing'er snorted with a coquettish smile.

Luo Youdu said in surprise: "How did you find out?" When he said this, he saw his own shadow and suddenly realized.

Fu Qing'er said: "There are Fengzhu and the others guarding this back house, except for Mr. Lang, who has the ability to approach quietly?" Feeling that Ailang buried his head in his neck, he said: "Don't make trouble, I'm doing the calculations. I just bought the manor, and I need to build a yard and hire farmers, and I have to figure out the expenses one by one."

Looking at Fu Qing'er who already looked like a big woman, Luo Youdu thought for a while and said, "Choose a few pieces of cloth, Madam, to send to the Zhou family?"

　Thanks for the [-] reward from Rabbit Whisperer, thank you for your support.
