After meeting Cao and Liu, Li Jia was quite happy.

Although there are shortages of horses in the south, due to the existence of Jeju Island, Khitan horses are repurposed. Now there are more than 10,000 horses in the entire Jeju Island, and thousands of horses are trained as war horses.

Moreover, after Li Jia's continuous request, the Arabs continued to transport Mawari Malay from India, and then reproduced on Jeju Island, and crossed with Khitan horses.

The Mawari horse is an evolution of an Arab horse, so it has two major advantages. One is its height. The general shoulder height reaches about 1.5 meters. Compared with the Khitan horse about 1.3 meters, it is tall.

The second advantage is drought tolerance.

Needless to say, Arabian horses are definitely drought-resistant. Mawari horses inherit their genes, and it is definitely the same. The subtropical south is very suitable.

As for the characteristics of big eyes, big nose, and delicate head, they are just embellishments. After all, war horses are used for riding, not for riding.

The reason for the horse was solved, but the cavalry was difficult to find.

After several years of training, ordinary cavalry can have it, but it is difficult to find a cavalry.

Although ordinary cavalry rides horses, their combat thinking is infantry, which is the so-called infantry that can ride horses. Therefore, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general. This is the reason.

Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi were both from Yan and Zhao, so it would be fine if they used martial arts, but there were many horses and cavalrymen in the north, so there were naturally many cavalry generals. This was the envy of Li Jia for the Northern Song Dynasty. There were many generals who knew how to use cavalry.

The reason why the Northern Song Dynasty was increasingly unable to defeat the Khitans was actually that in addition to its own horse politics, the withering of the cavalry generals was also an important aspect.

Therefore, the fewer generals who know cavalry will be unable to defeat, the more they cannot defeat, the more they will be afraid, and then the more they cannot defeat.

It is also a kind of gain to have the honor of having Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi.

"Who is next?" Li Jia held the fishing rod again and continued her great career. It was so convenient and there was no delay.

"It's Xu Haifeng, the Censor!" Tian Zhong whispered while sprinkling fish food.

"Oh? Get these things clean up quickly and put a few more books on me!" Li Jia quickly threw away the fishing rod and ordered.

No matter what, you must maintain the image of a wise ruler in front of the censor, otherwise you will be troubled.

The position of censor was the prime minister in the Qin and Han dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty he could only be considered a high-ranking official, and his rank was also low. He was only from the third rank, but he was very powerful in the early Tang Dynasty. For example, Qiu Xinggong, the general of the left guard who had protected Li Shimin's life several times in the danger of fighting, was impeached by the censor for "fighting for the burial of his mother with his brother".

Famous officials Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo and Li Jing were also impeached by the censor for "military orders cannot be allowed".

Then, the position of the Censor was quite embarrassing. Although they were high-ranking officials, they were under the Six Ministers of the Secretariat. How could they impeach them?

Li Jia attached great importance to it and directly promoted him to the third rank of official rank, and made a clear statement that he was appointed as the Minister of the Sixth Ministry.

"My minister Xu Haifeng, see Your Majesty!"

As soon as Xu Haifeng entered the palace, he saw several books under the emperor's hands. "Zhenguan Zheng Yao" was spread out in half. Seeing this, he was happy.

"Get up!" Looking at Xu Haifeng who bent down and bowed, he looked thin but arrogant, Li Jia said intimately: "Hurry and give him a seat to Dr. Xu!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Haifeng was flattered, with half of his butt facing the chair, with a very happy face, and then said seriously: "The ten quotas for the promotion and demotion envoys you requested have been drafted, and they are all honest and honest people."

As he said that, he handed over the list.

"Justice and honesty alone are not enough!" Li Jia said while looking through the list, looking at her family background, deeds, and relatives:

"There are countless corrupt officials in the local area, and they are extremely cunning, so they have to be more treacherous than them. These are either young Jinshi or censors who have been diligent for a long time. Although they are all upright and honest—"

"Otherwise, you will just be fooled, sprinkled on the surface, and be fooled by monkeys! Therefore, the entourage of the prosecution and demotion may not be honest, but must be cunning, old-fashioned,"

The so-called promotion and demotion envoy can also be called the inspector, the inspector, the observation envoy, and the "demotion" means derogation and abolishment. "Zhi" means promotion. It can be directly dealt with without reporting to some officials who violate the law and taboos, dismissal, jail, or even directly executed.

The imperial envoy refers to them.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the promotion and demotion envoys were established, and the integrity of officials were all famous figures, such as Li Jing; during the two-tax system, Emperor Dezong of Tang re-established the promotion and demotion envoys and investigated the two-tax system.

"This..." Xu Haifeng was stunned when he heard this. This request was very strange. When the demotion envoy did not demand integrity, how could he set an example?

"Don't worry too much. The court, the three provinces and six ministries under the Secretariat, hundreds of officials, whether they are cunning old officials or new Jinshi, as long as they are smart and smart, you can recommend them, and you don't have to be confined to the Censorate!"

Li Jia glanced at Xu Haifeng who was puzzled and said casually.

"You are the Censor, the imperial court, except the Ministry of Personnel, you don't know which official you are. You can take it out today in the Political Affairs Hall!"

"Here!"

There was something in the emperor's words, and Xu Haifeng smiled awkwardly and nodded in response.

"Okay, let's go down and do it. It should be very easy to pick ten people in such a huge court!"

"These ten people will be selected again as the urging and demotion envoys, and they are weak in power. They will also be assigned to them some senior clerks to deal with documents for consultation. By the way, each of them will be given a few hundred imperial guards just in case!"

...

Afterwards, Li Anguo, the Shaoqing of the Shaofu, came to meet with a simple face. After a few days, he became fatter.

"What's wrong? What new business has the Shaofusi found?"

Looking at Li Anguo's silly smile, Li Jia was quite casual and sat on the recliner and teased.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I've really made a fortune this time!" Li Anguo bent over and came close to him, pressing Li Jia's shoulders, as if he was in Yongzhou, very kind.

"What do you mean?" When Li Jia heard about getting rich, she became interested in it. This money should be quite large.

"The money of the Song imperial guards has long been searched for, but the Shu Palace and the treasury of Chengdu City have been well preserved, so General Pan has sent someone to look forward to it!"

Li Anguo said with a smile: "Meng Chang has not much money with him, and most of it is in Chengdu Prefecture and Kuizhou. In addition to the treasury of other prefectures and counties, there are no food and grass, jewelry, gold and silver, etc. The total number exceeds 20 million guan, and there are hundreds of farms, more than tens of thousands of hectares..."

"Thousands of hectares of fertile land, 20 million chunks..."
