Song Jing returned to the Political Affairs Hall expressionlessly. He did not enter his office but sat down in the hall outside.
He found some tea leaves and placed them in a pot. He then poured some water from a thermos bottle.
He pulled out a drawer with pine nuts, pliers and a plate of pine nuts. He then pinched the pine nuts.
"Guang Ping, what are you doing?" Bi Goo heard the commotion and came out to see Song Jing.
Su Yi also came out with a curious look on his face.
"The pontoon bridge at Pu Jin Bridge has started construction, but we did not know about it." Song Jing said softly.
"Guang Ping, you did not know?" Bi Goo was surprised and looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi replied, "It's been repaired. The people are saying that it will be more convenient for people to cross the bridge next year. It's dangerous for people to cross the bridge."
Song Jing was stunned. Both of you knew about it? Even the people knew about it? Only I don't know about it?
"How did you know?" Song Jing was even more depressed.
"It was written in the newspapers." Bi Goo and Su Yi replied together.
Song Jing finally understood why Li Longji had such an expression. It was in the newspapers.
"Guang Ping, don't always think that the stories in the newspapers are fabricated. You have to read the newspapers from the beginning. Read it carefully. Read it twice."
Bi Goo patiently told Song Jing that one should not read ten lines at a glance.
"I did not see it. I read the newspapers very carefully." Song Jing felt that he was wronged.
He did not like reading stories, but he was willing to study the daily life facts. He was more interested in reading about the Li Family Zhuangzi.
For example, chilli noodles, kerosene lamps, thermos bottles, tea leaves, glycerin … …
Including the supply of vegetables in the greenhouse during winter. As the Prime Minister, he placed great importance on the newspapers.
There was no mention of the pontoon bridge.
Bi Goo turned around and went into his house. After a while, he took out a set of newspapers and said, "Guang Ping, look. It's on this page. This one, here."
Song Jing looked at the place where Bi Goo was pointing. Indeed, there was one. It even brought a simple map of what it would look like after construction.
He got up and went into his room. After a while he returned with four papers in his hand.
"Who can take out one of my newspapers?" Song Jing gritted his teeth and said.
"Guangping, next time you have to look at the pages. Now there are five newspapers. They say it's after the New Year …" Su Yi said to Song Jing while holding back his laughter.
"This old man knows that after the New Year, it might be expanded to ten copies each, and it's still three coins. Three of the copies have the contents of dictionaries printed on them.
Cut it yourself, cut it according to the dotted lines, drill the holes with an awl, and thread it through. When you have enough, you can make a dictionary. Then, there are three double-sided prints. "
Song Jing was still angry. He felt that Her Majesty was dissatisfied with him and did not even read the newspaper.
"That's right. Princess Jinxian only printed 10,000 copies in the first batch. She gave them to the temple, monastery, and aristocratic families. Xiao Yi only thought of printing them herself."
Bi Goo's words faintly expressed his dissatisfaction with Princess Jinxian. She should have given them to the people of the capital government first.
Ordinary people with children in school should have given them first. Their children could learn by themselves.
Su Yi spoke up for Princess Jinxian: "The temple, monastery, and aristocratic families gave Princess Jinxian the money for printing. The money for the paper, and the ink was given by Li Yi."
"Right now, Her Majesty and Li Yi do things freely. They can do whatever they want."
Song Jing did not care about the printing of dictionaries. He mentioned that the political affairs hall's power had decreased.
Bi Goo laughed: "Guangping, it's Her Majesty's own money. Xiao Yi will also take out the money to build infrastructure."
"Has the Ministry of Works started to build roads?" Song Jing mentioned the situation of the roads in the capital government. This could not be Her Majesty and Li Yi's money, right?
"The Ministry of Revenue has money. Xiao Yi sells chili powder. She sells chili powder and pays seven hundred yuan per catty. While the people of the capital government do not have much work in the winter, they will build the roads that are easy to repair. The difficult ones can be repaired after the winter thaws."
Bi Goo explained. After all, Song Jing was the Prime Minister, but he could not control the money.
If the Minister of Revenue was not the Prime Minister, he would need to tell the Prime Minister when he needed money.
Since he was the Prime Minister, he could do it.
"Drink tea." Song Jing did not want to say anymore. He could not say anything. Bi Goo was 13 years older than him.
… …
Li Family Zhuangzi and Hao Lingquan were also drinking tea. They drank tea and asked Guo Ziyi for advice.
Guo Ziyi was young, but he knew a lot. He was very sensitive to military matters.
Guo Ziyi was a sixth-rank official and was in charge of 30,000 Winged Knights.
Hao Lingquan was a third-rank general and was in charge of 30 people.
The 30 people came out of the barracks and were arranged by Hao Lingquan to live in a house in front of the settlement.
"If you want to win a battle, you have to train strong soldiers first. You can't be afraid when you are outnumbered.
Li Dongzhu said that the strongest soldiers can fight to the last man. I don't know if the Winged Knights can do it.
I believe that the 3,000 Winged Knights can do it. They were personally trained by Li Dongzhu. "
Guo Ziyi slowly explained to Hao Lingquan.
Li Yi told him about the Mandarin Duck Formation. The Mandarin Duck Formation could be formed randomly, which meant that they were trained well.
When Guo Ziyi trained the Winged Knights, he divided them into many steps and positions. Every soldier had to adapt to all positions.
"How can you make everyone not afraid of death?" Hao Lingquan himself was not afraid of death. He thought that there were very few people who were not.
"Power, money, and faith. It is an honor for General Hao to be a general. When the Tang Dynasty won too many battles, it was impossible for everyone to be made an official. Like the former Qin, there were no titles and no rewards, so you had to give money …"
Guo Ziyi had learned the method from Li Yi, which was to pay.
When soldiers killed enemies in battle, they had to be given merit points. Merit points represented land.
What if there was not enough land? Use money to exchange for it.
"Faith … General Hao, look at the Winged Knights after training and you will know. We fight for His Majesty and the people of the Tang Dynasty.
We are the strongest soldiers. The moment we move out is the moment the war ends.
His Majesty is watching us. The people of the Tang Dynasty are counting on us. Our families are honored because of us. "
As Guo Ziyi spoke, he sat up straight with a serious face.
Hao Lingquan nodded his head vigorously. His blood was boiling after hearing those words.
He admitted that the Winged Knights were strong, but he didn't expect the Winged Knights to learn like this.
It was a good idea. When he had an army in the future, he would do the same.
"General Hao, be prepared. In the future, the government soldiers will be disbanded and turned into recruits. His Majesty and the imperial court will pay for it."
Guo Ziyi revealed to Hao Lingquan.
"I understand after listening to Bi Zaifu and Li Dongzhu." Hao Lingquan expressed that he understood.
He also knew the disadvantages and advantages of the recruitment system. The disadvantage was money. As long as there was no money, the recruitment system would be useless.
The advantage was that the people who wanted to be recruited must be strong or have their own specialties.
When the overall level of the army improved, the combat effectiveness would also rise.
Other people who couldn't fight could be farmers.
"I heard from Li Dongzhu that when the iron chain pontoon bridge is built, the road from there to the Dawu Army will be built and then sent to you."
Guo Ziyi mentioned another thing. He told Hao Lingquan the importance of the Dawu Army.
"Why don't you give the money to the south? The south needs to be connected. "Hao Lingquan was happy and puzzled.
"It's being built. According to Li Dongzhu, the Dawu Army will be of great use in the future," Guo Ziyi guessed.
