Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 203
Luo Youdu and Zhang Jin drank wine, and asked about the situation of Kaifeng Mansion by the way.

Zhang Jindao: "Everything in Kaifeng Mansion is normal, no different from before. Cui Daizhi and Judge Xue have great trust in Kou Canjun and our brothers. They have always entrusted them with important tasks and have never changed."

Luo Youdu nodded reassuringly, since he knew that Xue Juzheng was the judge who would replace him.

He knew it was all right.

Luo Youdu was never afraid that the person who replaced him would be an official. He was only afraid that the person in charge would be a fool who relied on his family background to steal the high position but didn't know anything.

Because the idiot's method is rough, has no technical content, does not pay attention to rules, only knows how to force.

If this wants to show the official authority, the final result will inevitably be emptied.

If you really want to get to that point, things will become big.Idiots won't last long, but Kaifeng Mansion will also face a reshuffle.

In this way, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Smart people are different. Smart people understand the rules of the game and don't mess around.

If the successor only wants to gild the position of judge of Kaifeng Mansion, Xiao Guicao can follow suit.

As long as he is not possessed by a certain elementary school student, the spirit is at the door, a strange case today, and a secret room tomorrow, the team he left in Kaifeng Mansion can deal with [-]% of the incidents.

Sitting and doing nothing, can come up with a beautiful resume.

Those who want to do great things on their own, and those who want to control the Kaifeng Mansion in their own hands, have to do it step by step.Follow the rules of the game, first cultivate your own power, and then replace the team established by Luo Youdu.

In view of the fact that the grassroots cadres in Kaifeng Mansion are all Luo Youdu's people, and he himself is active in the temple and holds a high position.

This process takes a long time.

The situation now is also different from before.

At the beginning, Guo Rong had just ascended the throne, and there was nothing to do, and the court didn't even have its own unified criminal law system.

On the top, Cui Yan is indecisive, and on the bottom, there are Zhang Yue and Lu Bin fighting each other.

It was only then that Luo Youdu suddenly emerged and became a profitable fisherman.

Now the situation is calm, and the "Great Zhou Xingtong" has been published.

Don't underestimate this code, its appearance is a major change in the history of Chinese law.

It means that the laws that were destroyed to nothing during the chaos of the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Han dynasties have been completely unified.

In the current situation, there are not many shortcuts that can be taken.

As a famous figure in history, Xue Juzheng should be aware of the situation he is facing.

Before he really gained a firm foothold in Kaifeng Mansion, Luo Youdu still had a certain say in Kaifeng Mansion.

"but……"

Zhang Jin hesitated for a moment and said: "There has been a little problem with the public security in Kaifeng, Bianjing recently."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "How to say?"

Zhang Jindao: "Compared to the time when Xianggong was in Kaifeng, the number of cases received is much less. Now the rich and powerful are a lot more rampant. Some bullying cases are clearly committed by the rich and powerful, but most of the people and merchants who are victimized choose more than less. I don’t want to report this matter to the officials. It’s not a big deal, so we can’t force it.”

Luo Youdu didn't find it strange, and said: "It's best not to force. You and I are not lying here. When you are on duty in the future, remember to be careful. It is inevitable that the rich and powerful bully the people. When I was in office In fact, there are, but it will be restrained a lot, and the impact will be small. If the people bear it, I will also bear it. To plead for the people, we must get the idea. Instead of turning small things into big things, making enemies on all sides. "

Zhang Jin smiled wryly and said, "Understood."

Luo Youdu said solemnly: "But remember one thing, don't be afraid of things. As long as the bottom line is exceeded, Kaifeng Mansion has to play its role."

"understand!"

Luo Youdu continued: "As for the decrease in cases, this is also inevitable. This is due to distrust of Judge Xue and Kou Canjun. I was the same at the beginning. It was Wang Jixun's case that gained fame. I dare not say that Judge Xue is not familiar with it. But I personally chose Kou to join the army, and I know his nature, but he never had a chance. When he did, he would let the dignitaries know what a stone in a latrine is.”

He trained and promoted many confidantes in Kaifeng Mansion, but these people did not include Kou Xiang who was exceptionally promoted by him.

Kou Xiang is stubborn, rigid, conscientious and courageous, he is the kind of good person whose son and father will kill their relatives if they break the law.

Even if it is his own benefactor, if he really wants to commit a crime, he will not be lenient.

To promote Kou Xiang is to have a person who can speak for the people after he is not in Kaifeng Mansion or transferred from Feng Mansion.

Luo Youdu looked at the wine cup in his hand and smiled inexplicably, maybe this opportunity is about to appear.

After eating and drinking enough, Luo Youdu sent Zhang Jin away, and before leaving, he asked him to bring Zhang Qixian to look for him after Quan Xu was released from prison.

Immediately, Luo Youdu prepared some information about Ma Zheng, so that he could discuss with Wei Renpu and Wang Pu tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

Luo Youdu and Fu Qing'er do morning exercises together.

Fu Qing'er taught Luo Youdu his archery skills hand in hand.

Compared with learning from Han Lingkun, Zhang Jianxiong, Zhang Qiong and others, Fu Qing'er obviously taught more carefully, the key is to be able to teach by hand.

This state of mind is obviously very different.

Luo Youdu only felt that his archery skills were advancing by leaps and bounds. It would be great if there was no big stupid shouting "Kill, kill, kill" to spoil the scenery.

On the way to the Privy Council, Luo Youdu said to Hu Yanzan beside him: "From now on, go to the front yard for morning exercises, where the seats will be larger. In the early morning, there will be no one coming in and out, so it won't affect your ability to kill thieves."

Hu Yanzan was puzzled and said: "Why is this? You don't need such a big seat for martial arts training, and the archery range is enough."

Luo Youdu said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's my poor archery skills, I'm afraid that if I accidentally give you an arrow, it will hurt you."

Hu Yanzan nodded seriously and said: "That's true. Daddy also said that the most feared thing on the battlefield is the cold arrows flying from nowhere, so I have to wear a thick armor when I go to the battlefield. It's a pity that I didn't bring my thick armor. Come on, practice wearing armor, so you won't be afraid of cold arrows."

Luo Youdu's face was as usual, and he didn't feel annoyed at all.

With Hu Yanzan, Luo Youdu obviously felt that his self-cultivation had improved a lot.

In the Privy Council, the affairs in hand were dealt with first, and it was not until lunch time that Wang Pu came late.

"I heard that the food in the Privy Council is very good. I will try it myself today and see how it goes."

Discussing while eating is the most popular way of holding meetings in ancient times.

The so-called eating without talking and sleeping without talking is misunderstood in later generations as being unable to talk while eating, which is actually a misinformation.

Shibuyan really means that you can't speak when you are eating, because the bite words are vague, and the food in your mouth may leak out, which is very impolite and elegant.

So eat without words!

Not only did the ancients not refuse to discuss matters while eating, but if you just eat without talking, people will laugh at you and only know about eating.

During the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a prime minister named Lu Huaishen.

He only ate and didn't talk because of the meal, and made jokes for people to become the prime minister with food.

The same is true for Dazhou. Officials do their own things during normal times. They gather together when eating, talking about their experiences and discussing things while eating.

From time to time, Guo Rong would send someone to give some imperial food to add to the fun.

In particular, the Prime Minister's Council Hall and the Privy Council's Privy Council are the two most important departments of the Great Zhou. The food is relatively good, and they will receive food rewards every now and then.

The three sat around a square table.

Luo Youdu pulled the rice, and today's dishes include his favorite locust leaves.

It is to mash the young leaves of green pagoda japonica into the juice and add flour to make thin noodles. After cooking, soak them in ice water, mix them with cooked oil, and then season them with seasonings.

Wei Renpu explained the general situation to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu's expression changed from stunned at the beginning to amazed at the end. He glanced at Luo Youdu who was eating with relish, and said, "Brother Youdu's whimsical ideas are indeed amazing. You gave up on Ma Zheng and directly exchanged money with money. Buying horses can be said to be a draw from the bottom of the pot, and the draw is still your own salary."

Luo Youdu swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "This horse management will not be able to see results overnight. First of all, we need to breed good stallions. Such good stallions are a huge expense, and then the bred foals It may not be a good horse breed, or because of breeding failure, or because of environmental problems, it is possible to get bad horses."

"The key is that if the foal's limbs are not incomplete, it is difficult to distinguish the quality from the appearance alone. It depends on how it grows."

"In this way, it will take us two or three years to breed the first batch of horses."

"As we all know, a mare gives birth to a foal, and it takes three hundred days to conceive, which is almost once a year."

"If the money for the development of horse administration is directly used to buy war horses, our army can at least have an extra cavalry team of more than [-] people."

"Ten thousand cavalry? What is this concept?"

"Including the existing cavalry, we can raise nearly [-] cavalry. With these [-] cavalry, with my big Zhou Jianer, it is enough to fight the Khitan."

Holding the chopsticks, Wang Pu stroked the rice in the bowl one by one and said, "Brother Youdu is very courageous. Regardless of the method, it is not difficult to implement."

Now Khitan has not yet risen, and there is no shadow of Xixia.In the second year of Xiande, the Ganzhou Uighurs sent envoys to Da Zhou to show their friendship.

Cao Yuanzhong, the leader of the Guiyi Army far away in Liangzhou, also professed his minister to the court.

Today's Khitan is not enough to restrict the surrounding forces from selling horses to Dazhou.

Da Zhou could purchase horses from Fugu, Dingnan Army, Ganzhou Uighurs, Guiyi Army and even Tubo, with smooth channels.

As long as the money and silk are in place, it is not difficult to buy [-] horses.

Thinking of the grand occasion of the Great Zhou Northern Expedition with [-] cavalry and [-] navy, Wang Pu was undoubtedly moved.

It is almost impossible to defeat the Khitan in one go, but as long as Youzhou can be taken back, the special terrain of Youzhou can be used to resist the Khitan's invasion, and avoid falling into the situation where there is no danger in Hebei, and there is nothing to defend.

As long as you can win, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it.

The key is the winning word.

Khitan can afford to lose, they can't afford to lose!
