Wu Haogu heard what Lin Wancheng taught Lin Chong a lesson.

He could only sigh at this.

Because he now knows that the military crisis of the Song Dynasty was far more serious than he thought, and even more serious than what the keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations knew.

Because of the military weakness of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the lack of enough horse-raising sites and emphasis on culture and suppression of military affairs, there is also the prosperity and development of business!

That's right, the prosperous business of the Song Dynasty was an important reason for corrupting the combat effectiveness of the Song army.

At least, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture was corrupted by this flower world.

To be fair, the military pay paid by the officials of the Song Dynasty to the Imperial Army was not low. The basic military salary was that the upper military soldiers could receive one stolen per month, the middle military soldiers received five to seven hundred stolen per month, and the lower military soldiers also received three to four hundred stolen per month.

In addition to military salary, there are also military rations to be taken. The upper and middle ban soldiers receive two stones and five dou of fire every month, while the lower ban soldiers receive two stones.

In addition, soldiers of the Song Dynasty also issued clothing subsidies. For example, the standard for the injunction was "spring and winter clothes, six pieces of silk, one twelve taels of cotton, and three thousand yuan for clothes."

In addition to these fixed military salary, military rations, and clothing, the Song Dynasty imperial guards also had various subsidies to obtain. For example, the rewards for slaughtering, suburban sacrifices, special payments, snow cold money, silver shoes money, salary money, transfer money, military rewards, oral scrolls, etc.

All kinds of miscellaneous incomes are added together, and there are always fifty or sixty pieces a year for one entrusted soldiers, and there are five pieces a month.

If calculated based on the exchange price of silver and money, it will be much more than the Eight Banners soldiers in later generations!

The Eight Banners Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were noble soldiers known as the Eight Banners!

Their salary was far inferior to that of the ordinary soldiers of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that the military salary of the Song Dynasty was extremely generous, which was probably unprecedented in ancient China.

However, in Kaifeng Prefecture and other Northern Song Dynasty metropolis, dozens of generous military salaries a year were difficult to reach even the middle class - the middle class must at least have a house and a car (horse), right?

Moreover, with the continuous prosperity of the economy, the economic status of professional soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty was still declining.

The unqualified martial officials who were still rich in the early and mid-term of the founding of the country, but now, even in places like Kaifeng Prefecture, they cannot afford to buy a house and it is difficult for a wife to marry, let alone soldiers with lower status.

In addition, the long-term peace, the military discipline is relaxed, and the soldiers do not know the generals and generals do not know the disadvantages of the soldiers. The current Kaifeng Prefecture Imperial Guard is actually only the organization and name.

Where can those grassroots officers and soldiers who occupy the organization and have the reputation of being in charge of the imperial guards have the intention to train and prepare for the war? They are all busy with extra money for the house, their wives and their own lives!

Anyone who wants to practice martial arts and prepare for war will definitely not be able to buy a house or marry a wife, and will definitely have to lose his sons and grandchildren in the future.

Therefore, the prosperity and prosperity of Kaifeng Prefecture are eliminating and dismantling professional soldiers who defend it!

The collapse of professional mercenaries brought about by this kind of business development was that Wu Haogu had a time traveler with a vision of nearly a thousand years later, and he could not think of any tricks for the time being.

Because in Wu Haogu's view, in the era in which the Song Dynasty, wealth and strength were not equal. Before Aguda and a generation of genius Genghis Khan rose, there was definitely no wealth in the Song Dynasty and the Arabs.

Therefore, there is no reform route to seeking wealth and strength - rich and strong are two different directions.

You can’t fight the imperial guards with fifty or sixty pieces a year, but you can fight after taking one hundred, one hundred, twenty pieces a year?

This is simply wishful thinking!

Moreover, if the imperial guards pay doubled, the housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture will probably doubled...

"Uncle Lin, Guo Jing has paid you a favor... Mrs. Gao is here too? Are you trying to match Lin Dalang?

How often can I drink Lin Dalang’s wedding wine?”

When Wu Haogu was worried about the future of the Song Dynasty, Guo Jing was already proudly engaging in Lin Wancheng and Madam Gao.

He, a guy who has not practiced martial arts well since he was a child, has always known that he is cheating and scheming all day long, is now a successful family with a house!

Lin Chong and Lu Qian, who have been practicing martial arts for twenty or thirty years and have worked hard to achieve good kung fu, are not yet hard-working houseless households, living in dilapidated military camps.

Lin Chong, who is known as the leopard head, doesn't even have a wife. He is in his thirties and is still asking the matchmaker to help all day long. It's really not embarrassing.

"Sanlang, I'm talking about you to Madam Gao just now." Lin Wancheng used to look down on Guo Sanlang, who had been hanging on Panlou Street all day long, but today he was full of respect, "You said you want to buy a house, but it's true?"

"Yes," Guo Jing said proudly, "I found Yan Po'er from Yangyi Hong Pavilion next to the wazi in the north of the state, on Laoying Street in the left wing. It was a house with a shop. It was only 18,000 yuan, which was still cheap, right?"

Is it cheaper to have eighteen thousand briquettes?

When Wu Haogu heard this question, he felt a little sad again.

Ten thousand silks are really cheap for Wu Haogu, Chen Youwen, Liu Youfang, Su Dalang, Pan Xiao'an, Pan Qiaolian and others!

Who of them doesn’t have an investment of more than 18,000 yuan a year? Even a house worth 180,000 yuan is not too expensive for them.

The problem of high housing prices in Kaifeng Mansion does not exist at all!

The house in Kaifeng is not expensive at all, and it can be increased for another twenty-eight years!

But for Lin Wancheng and Lin Chong, who defended Kaifeng Prefecture, they only earn more than 100 yuan a year, and they can earn more than 18,000 yuan a year without eating or drinking for 100 yuan.

Moreover, with the increase in the number of rooms in Kaifeng Mansion doubled in 20 years (compared to a certain dynasty in later generations, the increase in housing prices is really not very low), a hundred years later, the houses in Kaifeng Mansion had already risen to the sky...

Oh, no, a hundred years later, if history is not changed, Genghis Khan, who can't afford a house and can only live in a tent, should rise above the grassland!

...

Wu Haogu, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji were invited into the dilapidated house by Lin Wancheng as the God of Wealth. Lady Gao did not leave, followed with a smile, and kept saying that she would protect Guo Jing and Guo Sanlang, who had bought a house...

"Madam Gao, can your officials be at home?"

Guo Jing is now a real man who has a house and has no wife, so he is not in a hurry to ask Mrs. Gao to be a matchmaker, but asks about Lu Qian.

"No," Gao Madam's face darkened, "That dead man went to the school to train troops... He is the most hardworking coach who has promoted so many Japanese troops. What's the point?"

Guo Jing said to Wu Haogu: "Lu Xiaoyi is very good at kung fu. He can drive a hard bow of one stone and a half, and can shoot a beaded arrow with one hand, and can shoot twenty-five arrows in one breath. This is real kung fu. If he was founding the country, he could shoot a general."

Wu Haogu didn't know what real kung fu was, and he looked confused.

Lady Gao is an expert. She explained: "The so-called real kung fu is the ability to kill and fight in battle formations, equestrians, archery, spears, etc.

They all have to work hard since childhood, but they will ruin their hard work for a lifetime. No one can even watch the show."

Lin Chong was unhappy and said in a buzzing voice: "If there are a thousand heroes like Brother Xiao Yi in a chaotic world, they can be rampant in the world!

Looking back at that time, did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty rely on a thousand mysterious armored cavalry to traverse the world and conquer the beautiful country of the Tang Dynasty?"

Wu Haogu discovered that when Lin Chong talked about "Taizong of Tang" and "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry", he and Lin Wancheng's eyes were vaguely showing their sharpness, but soon became dim again.

Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Song Dynasty's official family does not value martial people. The father and son of the Lin family and Lu Qian are heroes and useless places!

"It's just right to be a bodyguard at this level." Guo Jing said with a smile. "With Lu Xiaoyi's continuous pearl arrows and Lin Shibo and Lin Dalang's spear kung fu, there are hundreds of ordinary bandits who are not afraid of it."

Wu Haogu looked at Lin Wancheng with white hair and always felt unreliable. However, when he looked at the tall and mighty Lin Chong, he felt much more relieved - just because his name was Lin Chong, it was very relieved, and there was Lu Qian.

Wu Haogu said: "Okay.

Guo Jing said: "A person will give 100 pieces per month, and the damage will be calculated separately. According to the industry rules, the amount of money will be paid according to the injury, and the maximum amount will be 1,000. Is it feasible?"

"A hundred pieces are a little less," Lin Wancheng had such experience. As soon as he saw Wu Haogu, he knew that he was a "good dealer", so he set up a price. "And this trip, he had to borrow armor, equipment, and horses from the army, which would cost him..."

Wu Haogu was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Can the armor and war horses in the army be borrowed?"

Lin Wancheng replied with a smile: "The great official does not know that the war horses in the army cannot be borrowed, but the horses can only be transported and the pack horses can be used for only a few.

As for armor, it is not very good. Just borrow a few pairs of paper armor to prevent a runaway arrow. As long as it does not exceed four collars, it doesn’t matter."

Wu Haogu nodded and said to Guo Jing: "Let's add some more to Master Lin. Each person can give you 120 pieces a month."
