Chapter 295: All for the country and the people

Murong Wangyou's gift was in the original Duting Xiyi, and the area next to the Xiping Palace is quite large, almost the same as Wu Haogu's house. However, the yard, house, garden, and even the layout of the room always exudes a dilapidated and outdated atmosphere. I don't know how many years have it been repaired?

Because the house was too old, and Murong Wangyou came alone with Wu Haogu Nan, so he couldn't live in so many houses, so he just made a small cross-yard living.

Just in the cross-yard where Mr. Murong lived, there was a big man lying on the bed in a room, snoring loudly. It was Brother Zhao Zhong. He drank too much white wine at noon today, and was drunk and helped by the Luohan maid. When he entered the room, he fell asleep and had not woken up until now.

Mr. Murong was dressed in Confucian uniform and was dressed with a businessman with a hunched back. He walked into his house with a group of servants and servants, and while walking, he shouted to the old man: "Okay, just give it as you want, as long as they do their job well."

"That little guy, thank you very much." The old businessman nodded and bowed, and then he coughed violently.

After entering the yard, the gate was closed, and Old Man Murong quickly helped the old businessman up, "Yunpeng, why do you come here in person if you are not in good health?"

The old man known as "Yunpeng" was Ximen Qing's grandfather Ximen He, who was his name. He actually arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture and even joined Murong Wangyou's gift. However, it was obvious that he did not come with his public identity, but with a "human teeth", he brought a group of children from the Ximen family and the Murong family.

These Ximen and Murong families were nominally Murong Wangyou's servants, who came to take care of the house. The day before their arrival, Old Murong had sent several servants he had temporarily hired to go home.

"Oh, Qing'er is really..." Ximen He sighed, "She can't come, I have to come by myself."

"It's worth it," Murong Wangyou smiled, "Wu Dalang is a good man, rich... and very strategic. Without him, I can't be the current official. When the Privy Council Military Academy has opened a new military officer, I will recommend a military officer for your family and a few more students. There will always be an official in the future."

When Mr. Chai came to Ximen's family to propose marriage for Wu Haogu, he didn't know that Murong Wangyou could become a fourth-rank senior doctor - this is really happiness too quickly! Originally, the three generations of the Ximen family could not have a single official, but now Wu Haogu can recommend it, and Murong Wangyou can also recommend it. There are three or four officials in one go.

Not to mention, Ximen Qing’s “sacrifice” is still worth it!

"And Qing'er did not sacrifice her lust for several officials of our two families," Murong Wangyou and Ximen He said while walking, "She sacrificed for Yan Yunhan'er who was oppressed by millions of Khitan beasts and lived in the dark hell! She is... for the country and the people!"

The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people! That is to say, a female hero like Ximen Qing...well, for the matter of being a country and the people, you don’t have to kill dirty officials like Wu Haogu.

Sometimes, accompanying the dirty official of Wuhan University to bed can also serve the country and the people. At least, great progress has been made in restoring Yan Yun’s career! Ximen Qing’s contribution is undeniable.

"In the 'Pingyan Jiujie'," said old man Murong, "Jiehe Commercial Market is very important, and Wu Dalang seems to be able to take charge of Jiehe Commercial Market for a while... So you and I have to take advantage of this opportunity to take root into Jiehe Commercial Market."

Although Old Murong is now a civil servant of the fourth rank or a magistrate of the Military Academy of the Privy Council, it looks quite big, but in fact he also knows that he cannot have too much real power. When he supports the situation in the Military Academy of the Privy Council, he should move.

It is hard to say when the Jiehe Market in Wuhaogu can be controlled. Maybe it can be controlled for ten or twenty years. Although it is just a mission of both officials and merchants, the wealth and power that can be controlled is actually greater than that of the Privy Councillor!

More importantly, Jiehe Shang City is not as eye-catching as the Privy Council. As long as Wu Haogu can gain the trust of the emperor, he can always take care of the emperor's money bags as a close minister.

While he was talking, Murong Wangyou pushed open a faint moon door. With a creaking sound, Brother Zhao Zhong, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up. As soon as he woke up, he subconsciously reached out to grab the straight knife that he always put under the pillow, but suddenly grabbed the empty knife.

"It's me!" Murong Wangyou shouted softly, "Brother Zhong, come out and meet Yun Weng."

Brother Zhao Zhong pushed the door of the wing where he was sleeping and bowed to Ximen He outside the door: "Wen Yun, can you always be good?"

Ximen He smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, I can't die for a while."

Murong Wangyou waved at Brother Zhong, then entered the main hall with Ximen He, and Brother Zhao Zhong also followed him in. The three of them didn't care about anything, so they each found a chair and sat down.

"Yuan Yi, how did Wu Dalang plan to arrange Qing'er?" Ximen He first asked about his granddaughter's future.

"My concubine." said Zhao Zhongge, "I'm a little bit of a loss. But the position of the official wife is not without a chance. As long as the gods don't know, they will add some medicine without realizing it... Haha, this is not difficult for the elder sister, right?"

Ximen Qing is a doctor! Naturally, he will poison... Brother Zhao Zhong's thinking is like the Yanyun clan. People often die in the struggle for legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate! In his opinion, Ximen Qing was fascinated by Wu Haogu, poisoned Pan Qiaolian, seized the throne of the official wife, and let his son inherit the position of clan leader. That is very likely to happen.

Ximen He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no need for the Song Dynasty... Maybe there is a deep sisterly relationship. It's just a status. If you can have deep sisterly relationships and work together, it's also a good story, and it's easy to say in the world."

Brother Zhao Zhong smiled, "That's your business, I won't talk much. By the way, teacher, what is the best official position for me?"

"Be a doctor of military science first." Murong Wangyou said, "You have led the soldiers and know how the Khitans fought... See if you can come up with a set of fighting styles that are suitable for the Song army?"

Old Man Murong was very serious about the assignment sent to him by the Song Dynasty court. Because in his opinion, no matter how many good strategies are, it ultimately requires a capable army to implement them!

If the Song Dynasty wanted to restore Yan Yun, there would be 50,000 elite combat soldiers no matter what. And if you train troops, you should not build a car behind closed doors. You must be targeted and you must know yourself and your enemy. Therefore, the most suitable position for Brother Zhao Zhong is to be a doctor in the Military Science Department of the Privy Council.

"Okay, that's it." Brother Zhao Zhong nodded with a smile.

...

"Do you have a concubine?"

"Yes, it's that Ximen Qing... Dad, you should have seen that she is dressed as a man, right?"

"Haha, you really have a way..."

At this time, Wu Haogu had already returned to his house and was talking to his father Wu Chengzhi proudly.

This time, I really hold one hand in hand! Oh, there are a few candidates, one Mo Madam, one Du Wenyu, and the golden-haired girl, the Arhat Maid are also good... The feudal system of the Song Dynasty also seems to have superior aspects!

"Ximen Qing has a baby in his stomach," Wu Haogu smiled and reported the good news to his father. "After three days after drinking Duan Wang's wedding banquet, he got up and went to Yanggu County to pick her up, so that the baby can marry her and the eighteenth sister at the latest in July."

King Duan Zhao Ji must drink the wedding banquet, which is an opportunity to further deepen friendship!

Moreover, Wu Haogu drank Zhao Ji's wedding banquet, and when he got married in July, he could invite Zhao Ji. How much face is this?

Wu Chengzhi laughed: "Haha, then, I will be my grandfather next year?"

"That's right," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "become a grandpa..."

Wu Chengzhidao: "Then I have to go to Yanggu County with you, and I have to bring a few female envoys to serve her."

"You go with me? I'm going to take care of my second brother in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Your little mother is there." Wu Chengzhi said, "How can your second brother be free? He is working hard every day. If he can go to high school, then the Wu family will be in the middle of the door."

Wu Haogu's younger brother Wu Haowen has been studying in the Imperial Academy these days and lives a life of deafing the truth. Moreover, Wu Haogu also gave him the "Imperial Examination Secret Book" he got from Cai Jing, and maybe he could really win one.

"Don't you try your luck?" Wu Chengzhi asked with a smile.

"I won't go." Wu Haogu shook his head, "It's too late to do this in the third year of Yuanfu... After the time of work, it's time to build a lighthouse market. That's a big deal, and it's very urgent! There is another deal in Kaifeng Prefecture that needs to be cooked, so I can't be busy."

However, Lighthouse City is still the most urgent task and must be promoted as soon as possible!

Because the emperor Zhao Xu, who supported the Lighthouse City, may have only a few months left! Wu Haogu often saw Zhao Xu's living person, so he naturally knew that he had a terrible disease and would definitely not be able to escape the fate in history. Once Zhao Xu died, although Zhao Ji, who had a good relationship with him, would become an official. However, the alternation of power, the counterattack of the old party, the internal struggle of the new party, Zhang Dun's resignation, etc., would definitely happen one by one.

At that time, the court will be in chaos inside and outside, so how can we still have the energy to promote the construction of the Lighthouse City? If Zhao Ji wants to stop it until Zhao Ji completely controls the situation, I don’t know when it will be?

So these few months are the key. As long as an agreement can be reached with the Liao Kingdom and officially started to be built, there will be no changes in the next few years. After all, no one is willing to tear down the agreement with the Liao Kingdom... especially during the critical period of infighting in the court.

The acceleration of the construction of the Lighthouse City is also the reason why Wu Haogu wanted to go to Yanggu County in person. The Ximen family can hold the Liao Kingdom with one hand! We have to send Ma Zhi a message and ask him to find a way to promote it. He may have to send another activity fund of several thousand taels of gold.
