Looking for scholars, there are batches of scholars there.
"You can send someone over to preach, and I will cooperate." Xu Ling said immediately. In fact, he focuses on cultivating scholars' physical fitness, swordsmanship, etc. in the academy, and he has such thoughts.
Now the imperial court actually does not have a big gap in civil servants. After the implementation of the new administrative divisions, many redundant and overlapping official positions have been eliminated, and the pressure on talents has naturally been reduced a lot. In addition, Li Xingchen has not yet
It is completely clear how the talents trained by the academy should be placed, so as the mountain chief, Xu Ling must find a way out for his disciples.
Joining the army may not be a bad choice.
In this era, the chief register in the army has a transcendent position, generous military pay, and can satisfy many people's desire to join the army. The usual work is not very tiring, mainly teaching the soldiers and writing battle reports. There is no need to follow
Military training, and even being able to teach and educate people, is definitely what many children from poor families want, and for children from aristocratic families, it is also a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the army and seek a promotion.
You must know that the so-called children of aristocratic families do not all mean that they can sit back and relax. Some large-scale families, such as the Xu family of Wu County in Xu Ling, have been passed down for hundreds of years and have already spread out.
Although the concubines and side branches of the family still bear the name of the Xu family, unless they are outstandingly talented, it is difficult for them to enjoy any social favors under the name of the family. Officials recommended by the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system are generally the same as them.
It doesn't matter much, so it's better to find another way and join the army.
Yang Su obviously understood this, so he didn't worry about not being able to recruit people at all. As the mountain chief, Xu Ling was also willing to do this smooth favor.
"Thank you so much, Duke Xiaomu." Yang Su solemnly handed over his hand.
Xu Ling stroked his beard and waved his hand: "I am already old, there is not much I can do, just do what you can."
Seeing Xu Ling's slowly leaving figure, Yang Su was speechless for a moment. Yang Yue whispered beside him: "This is really... it's hard to see through."
"He has experienced too many vicissitudes, so his mentality is far more complicated than ours, but what is certain is that he has no ill intentions toward us or this new dynasty." Yang Su said lightly, "This is just a man who wants to do something for us.
There is no need for us to doubt what the old man wants to do to end this troubled world."
After Xu Ling left, Niu Hong, who had received news from Chengdu Academy, looked at Yang Su walking over with a smile, his attitude completely changed from before. He did not expect that Yang Su would actually join the army.
Solve this matter.
"Okay, Chudao." Niu Hong laughed and gave Yang Su a bear hug.
He is now General Wu Yi. Although compared to the original General Wei Lie, he is still in the category of miscellaneous generals. However, after the Battle of Hanzhong, Niu Hong did not have much credit, and although the title of General Wu Yi is still miscellaneous,
General, but the meaning is completely different. The current Taiwei Xiao Mohe and Chariot General Pei Zilie both rose from this position. It can be said that General Wu Yi represents the next promotion candidate. As long as Niu Hong can establish
It is not impossible to move up a level by making meritorious deeds.
"It is estimated that the academy will be able to recruit twenty more people for you in the near future, but you must protect these people well," Yang Su said in a deep voice, "Except for any problems, Duke Xiaomu will come to you personally to settle the score."
Niu Hong nodded hurriedly: "This way, my troops can finally go north."
"Going north? Is there an order from the imperial court?"
"Yes, the Taiwei Mansion issued an urgent order this morning, causing unrest in the north." Niu Hong nodded slightly, "If for no other reason, I have to discuss this matter with you."
Yang Su frowned: "This is reasonable."
Niu Hong made an invitation gesture and placed a sand table in the middle of the room. Yang Su just glanced at the mark on the sand table and roughly understood what he meant: "Yang Jian sent troops to Qishan?"
"Yes, our biggest problem now is that the only connection between Hanzhong and the northwest is the Qishan Road. No matter what Yang Jian wants to do, as long as he puts his troops and horses on the Qishan Road, it will threaten the northwest. We cannot sit idly by."
"troops?"
"Yu Yi leads troops, numbering about 10,000 people."
"An old rival." Yang Su laughed. When Li Xingchen came out of Tianshui to occupy the northwest, it was Yu Yi and Yu Xi's father and son who led the army to block the confrontation between Xiaoguan and Li Xingchen. If Li Xingchen hadn't moved quickly enough, I'm afraid that now
It is difficult to predict whose hands the northwest will be in.
"We don't know yet whether we are bluffing or really planning to start a war," Niu Hong said worriedly, "but we cannot take it lightly. He will soon lead his army north to Hanzhong to replace Xu Deyan in guarding Hanzhong, and at the same time guard the retreat of Jiange.
"
Yang Su said in a deep voice: "The biggest problem in Shu now is that most of the soldiers and horses are new soldiers. On the other hand, although Yu Yi has not many soldiers and horses, they are all veterans who have fought with Yu Wenxian for some years. He rashly
It would be bad for us to go to war."
"You have to go there bravely, and the northwest cannot be lost." Niu Hong smiled bitterly, "At that time, His Majesty did not hesitate to risk his own life to go to the northwest, just to open up the road from Shuzhong to the northwest racecourse. As long as the northwest is in our hands, we will
We can form cavalry, otherwise we would have no way to go north with infantry alone."
Yang Su nodded slightly. The northwest was barren and sparsely populated. It even required continuous blood transfusions from Shuzhong to the northwest through the Qishan Road. However, the war horses under the Qilian Mountains in the northwest were an indispensable resource and one of the few that is now in the hands of the Han people.
A lot of resources. As the Turks moved south, the original traditional horse farms such as Hetao have fallen into the hands of the Turks. Only Yu Wenxian can still control the horse farms north of Jinyang. Whether it is Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian, they want to obtain
A large number of war horse resources can only be obtained through the Turks.
"But according to someone's knowledge, the output of horse farms in the northwest is actually not high right now?"
Niu Hong was born in the Anding Niu family, so he naturally knew the situation in the northwest: "Yes, in the early years of the Northern Dynasties, the northwest was also raging with war, and there was never peace. Many natural horse farms were abandoned, and only a few were still productive.
Horses, but you also know that not all horses can be used as war horses. The number of horses that can truly be used as war horses is only a few hundred a year."
Yang Su raised her eyebrows, a little surprised: "So few?"
"So although His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the various aristocratic families in the northwest who were not moving forward at that time, he did not dare to do anything to us." Niu Hong told the truth with some helplessness, "Just because he wanted to rebuild these horse farms, he still couldn't do it without us.
Leave it to those of us who know horses." (To be continued)
