Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

Not to mention anything else, can Wen Yanbo of the Xikunti school agree to dismiss both Xikunti and Taiyuan Academy?

Can Ding Du, who was born in the Taiyuan Academy, agree?

This is impossible!

So if he dared to make such a decision, it would undoubtedly set off a bloodbath in the court.

This is not in line with his original intention.

To know.

The reason why he devotes himself to the literary world and does not ask about political affairs is that he does not want to get involved in the court.

But now this young Lord Qi... clearly wants to push him to the top of the wave again!

Reason told him that he must not agree.

But the hope deep in his heart told him——

"This proposal is really feasible!"

"This will definitely wipe out the two major literary cancers, Xikun Ti and Taixue Ti, in one fell swoop!"

He was silent for a long time.

Ended up with a headache.

"You really gave me a big problem."

"This matter... we will discuss it in the long run."

In other words, he has to think carefully.

To be more precise, he had to think carefully with Zhang Fangping and Cai Xiang.

Qi Heng was not surprised.

He didn't say anything more.

The suggestion was given, the seed was planted, and his goal was achieved.

Say.

He came to Ouyang Xiu's house to work hard, and it wasn't purely for the ancient prose movement. He actually didn't care that much about what they thought and how they did it.

The only thing he cares about, the only thing he cares about, is how to use their circle to become a knife in his hand.

speak up.

He has been watching these days, always looking for a suitable entry point.

……

in the afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, just like the previous few days, the middle-aged man with dark complexion and serious expression appeared in the garden outside the study on time and sat alone.

There is a gazebo in the garden.

At this time, it is spring and flowers are blooming.

It may be because he is more used to the academic atmosphere in Ouyang Xiu's mansion. Every day when he is in court and the yamen is free, he will sit alone in the gazebo, or read, or write.

Day by day.

In the past, Qi Heng and the others were busy in the study, and they did not disturb each other.

But today, maybe it was a coincidence.

When Qi Heng took a break, he walked around casually, unknowingly walked up to the gazebo, and stood beside him.

He didn't mean to shy away from it, and he was still working hard.

During this period.

Perhaps because he caught a glimpse of what he wrote by accident, Qi Heng couldn't help interrupting.

"Master Wang, do you want to suggest that the imperial court reform horse administration?"

Lord Wang.

Wang Anshi, who is in charge of the Dasong racecourse in the group animal husbandry department.

It is impossible for a person like him to be idle. As long as he is in power, he will always plan his own affairs. No matter what he does, he will do his best.

"good."

Wang Anshi only said two words.

He doesn't talk very much, and he doesn't know Qi Heng that well, so he talks even less.

But Qi Heng didn't seem to care at all.

He said to himself: "Master Wang's suggestion hits the nail on the head."

"I also think that my politics must change."

"The reason why the armies of Xixia and Liao are tyrannical is because they have several iron cavalry that run rampant in the world."

"As long as we solve the problem of war horses, we will also create an invincible iron cavalry."

"In the future, we won't keep fighting and losing."

He said here.

Wang Anshi couldn't help but look back at him, expressionless.

"If you really think so, you're dead wrong."

"The army is weak, what's the matter with the horse?"

"The main problem of our dynasty is still above the forbidden army. The forbidden army has accumulated evils for a long time. If these problems are not resolved for a day, how can our dynasty run rampant in the world!"

Qi Heng was stunned.

He quickly put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

"how do I say this?"

"Forbidden Army...what's the problem?"

Wang Anshi finally put down the brush in his hand.

He turned to look at Qi Heng, frowning slightly.

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

"In the past few days, you and Zeng Zigu have talked about the past and the present. It's not like I haven't heard of your knowledge."

"Plus you are from a noble general, I don't believe you can't see all kinds of problems in the imperial army."

"Soldiers, greedy ink, empty pay—"

"Why, you want to deny all these questions in Jiangmen?"

Qi Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter what he says.

What matters is that he is willing to talk to him about the topic, that's enough.

Chapter 114 The So-Called Commitment, Beginning to Change

"you're right."

"I was born as a general, and I can indeed see the problems in the Forbidden Army."

"And Mr. Wang, to tell you the truth, I may see more problems than you can see."

"I'll just say one thing."

"My dynasty claims to have 80 imperial troops, plus the troops from all over the country, the total should be around 120 million."

"This is also the fundamental reason why at least [-]% of the taxes in the world are used to raise soldiers."

"But actually?"

"The 120 million army, not to mention the actual amount can be around one million, including the forbidden army and the Xiang army, the truly strong and powerful can have 80!"

"So with the food and wages to support 120 million people, it's less than [-] people..."

"How can Da Song be strong?"

"How can the world be rich?"

Qi Heng is reasonable and likes to talk about data, because he knows that only these fresh data can make people deeply feel the seriousness of the problem.

Wang Anshi remained silent.

His complexion is dark, so there is no change in his expression.

But in the depths of his heart, he was already shocked again and again!

He knew that there was a problem with the imperial army, and it could even be said that the whole court knew about it!

But he never thought that the problem has been exaggerated to such an extent!

Those people eat empty wages, eat the difference...are they so greedy that they don't even want their face?

He was not surprised that the young man could tell these detailed data.

Because from his Fan Lou's words, "It's difficult for the Liao thieves to cross", it is enough to see that he is a scholar with ambition and wants to do something.

He's just weird.

Why did he suddenly talk to him about this?

So because of the strangeness, he remained silent.

Qi Heng slowed down, as if he had fallen into great confusion.

"I don't know."

"I can see these problems, you can see them, Fan Wengong and Ouyang Gong can also see them."

"Since it can be seen...why no one is thinking about solving the problem?"

Wang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief.
