Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 80

Since the founding of the country, the Song Dynasty lost the land of horse herding in the Han and Tang Dynasties, so it had to set up a herding supervisor in the interior to raise war horses.Chunzejian is the closest one to Kaifeng, only forty miles away from Kaifeng.

But Da Song Ma Zheng is also a joke.For example, this Chunze supervisor, as far as Li Buqi knows, throwing in millions of guns to produce a hundred horses every year is already thankful.At that time, the market price of war horses was only [-] to [-] guan. With such a tragic input-output ratio, it can only be said that this Chunze supervisor is completely a loser.

After the incident of nailing the horseshoe, Li Buqi knew how failed the Song Dynasty's horse administration was.Before crossing, he even joked that Wang Anshi made the implementation of the "horse protection law" - letting private households raise horses can only raise poor horses, Wang Anshi is completely ignorant - but now Li Buqi understands, it is Wang Anshi who knows too well that the horse administration in the Song Dynasty has It's so bad, I can only completely abandon the original set of horse management, and I don't even dare to save it.

It is precisely because they saw that the establishment of a pastoral supervisor to raise horses is a bottomless pit, so many ministers wrote to ask for the abolition of the pastoral supervisor-preferring not to have horses, at least it can save some money.According to past experience, it is very likely that Chunze Supervisor will be abolished, and the vacated land will be bought by someone else.However, the land of Chunzejian has been used for grazing for many years. It is regarded as wasteland. The price must be cheap and not many people are willing to want it. Therefore, as long as the emperor wants it, it is likely to succeed.

It took Li Buqi and Zhang Yonghe about an hour to agree on some details, and Li Buqi also made a simple development plan, which made Zhang Yonghe stare at him.However, Li Buqi insisted that Supervisor Chunze listen to Li Buqi in all matters related to management. Zhang Yonghe didn't dare to make a decision on this point, so he went back to Da Nei to ask Zhao Zhen for instructions.

What a big place!And it turned out to be the pastor!Great.

When he returned home, Lian Guangzhi, who had returned from Ji'er Lane contentedly, appeared in the yard, and Li Buqi immediately called him into his room: "Since you know a lot of people in the Shaanxi Army, can you get a stallion?" ? By the way, find a few more experts in raising and taming horses?"

Lian Guangzhi said: "It's not difficult. People in Yuanbian have good horses, and I know a few who are good at raising horses. It's just that what do you want a stallion for? Do you want to raise a horse? But you Where can I raise horses?"

Li Buqi said: "Of course there is a place, you just need to get me the horses and people when the time comes."

--------------------------------

Facts have proved that the whole court is extremely disgusted with Chunzejian, a financial black hole that only sees input but not output. It seems that Yan Shu and the two discussed it, and the chief executives had no objection.It was only when the emperor proposed that the land of Chunzejian should be rounded up by himself, the chief executives objected on the grounds that the emperor could not compete with the people for profit.

But when the emperor said that Li Buqi wanted a place to experiment with the things he brought back from overseas, so he wanted to set up a testing ground on the original land of Chunzejian, and the land would be paid at the market price, the chief executives Immediately compromised.

Chunzejian is more than 40 miles away from Kaifeng, which is a day's journey.It would be better for Li Buqi to stay there than to be an eyesore in Kaifeng all day long.However, the Zaizhi were tacitly aware of it, and in due course they pointed out that the testing ground belonged to the royal family, not the state, and the emperor could not use public tools for private use as civil servants.Therefore, Li Buqi must be transferred to a military officer, and must not work for the royal family as a civil servant. This is the ancestral system and cannot be violated.

As a result, the emperor agreed to let Li Buqi give up his status as a civil servant after a little bargaining. In this way, both parties were happy, and it was settled that Chunzejian became the royal testing ground.And Li Buqi will mention the Royal Proving Ground as Hanlin.

The emperor and Zaizhi reached an agreement, and things were easy to handle.A few days later, someone proposed a motion to abolish the Chunze Prison at the court meeting. The Zai Zhi expressed his support.Before the third division took any action, Zhang Yonghe went to the third division and said that all the land would be bought by the royal family.

The third division is directly responsible to the emperor. The emperor wanted this land and bought it with money. Do you think the third division can disagree?So the land of Chunzejian fell into the hands of the emperor.But Li Buqi had already brought people to Chunze Prison, and spent three days planning the land and marking some places.

Then Li Buqi asked Lian Guangzhi to write a letter to Shaanxi to ask people to help find some people who are good at raising horses, so he continued to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and his plan was naturally completed by someone.

It's good to be backed by the royal family.Zhang Yonghe dispatched two commanded Xiang troops to prepare materials, level the land, and build barracks, workshops, pigpens, and barns as soon as the weather turned warm.In addition to preparing flower and tree seedlings for the imperial test site, the officials who promoted Yujin Garden and Jinmingchi also had to collect grass cotton and alfalfa seeds.The eunuchs sent by Zhao Zhen to take over horses and other errands were responsible for collecting stallions and donkeys for Li Buqi.

The first command Xiang army that Li Buqi trained also began to select personnel, but Li Buqi would never intervene in the primary selection of personnel.If you want to say what the emperor of the Song Dynasty was most afraid of, it probably has to be said that he was afraid that the officers would lead the soldiers to rebel.There is no way to do this, there is an example of Song Taizu adding a yellow robe.Li Buqi's personal selection of personnel would only make the emperor suspicious, so Li Buqi only made a request, and it was Zhang Yonghe's business to choose people from where.

But it is impossible for Li Buqi to train 500 people by himself, he must have assistants.So he told Zhang Yong that he would first find [-] captains and generals of the Xiang army for training, and when the soldiers were in place, these people could serve as Li Buqi's assistants.

"This is easy." Zhang Yonghe thought it was very simple.

But Li Buqi warned: "You find a few more. I will choose from them."

Zhang Yonghe smiled and said, "I know you're picky, so I'll get you sixty people."

It was said to the outside world that a Xiang army under command was to be formed to protect the Royal Proving Ground, so Zhang Yonghe dragged sixty burly men to the school ground of the Bow and Archery Academy.Li Buqi and his newly chosen follower, Tao Lin, wore soldiers' military uniforms, gave each of them a piece of white cloth with a number written in ink, fastened it to the back with a needle, and asked them to stand in line.

We all know that the person in charge of this new Xiang army is the famous Li Buqi, and we all know that Li Buqi has a reputation for donating righteousness and wealth. Just give it a glance.As expected by Li Buqi, there was a phenomenon of pushing, shoving and yelling. It took a long time for sixty people to line up the line, and the line also stood crookedly.

When the team finally stood up, Li Buqi directly dragged out the people who were pushing and shouting just now and told them that they could leave.What Li Buqi needs is a team with strict discipline, and the officers will never be allowed to be like bandits and hooligans.

Of course, Li Buqi does not deny that there may be people like Li Yunlong among the people who were brushed off in the first wave, but he doesn't need such people now.

Then a few people with erratic eyes were drawn out, and the rest of them finally stood in line when Li Buqi ordered them to stand in line again.This time it was much faster, Li Buqi was very satisfied.

Now there are exactly 48 people left. Li Buqi randomly divided these people into eight groups, and asked each group to figure out a way for everyone to climb the wall of the bow and arrow yard without ladders, and see which group climbed the fastest.

While these people were trying to climb the wall, Li Buqi was watching. Those who didn't want to contribute, or didn't want to cooperate with others, or were too stupid were eliminated by another eleven.

Zhang Yonghe opened his eyes: "Li Daizhao, your method of picking people is really strange. What kind of method is this, can you tell me?"

Li Buqi said: "Such a high wall can only be climbed by everyone working together. What is needed most in the military formation is unity. Those who cannot work together with everyone will drag others down in the military formation."

"Oh? Li Buqi really has a heart." Zhao Zhen was very pleased to hear Zhang Yonghe's report - Li Buqi has so many wonderful methods in selecting people, so he must be able to train a strong army, right?

Thinking of this, he thought of placing a few people in this Xiang army.In the emperor's mind, relatives are the most reliable, and Li Buqi and Zhao Jia are not related, so a few relatives should be arranged to learn Li Buqi's military training skills, so that the country of the Song Dynasty will be stable.
