Wang Ning'an has many things to deal with, and the most troublesome one is the problem of injured soldiers.

In the early stage of the Hengshan Battle, about 50,000 soldiers were killed, injured and disabled 8,000 people. The age limit was up, and they needed to leave the ranks and settled their livelihoods.

In a mistake in the Lingzhou battle, 80,000 soldiers were killed and 18,000 wounded soldiers were needed.

In addition, there are usually casualties in combat and non-combat reductions. In one or two years of war, there are only 200,000 people who need to be resettled.

Only when Wang Ning'an really took on this burden did he realize how heavy it was!

The magnificence of the Han and Tang Dynasties seemed very majestic, but in any battle, it was not a few thousand people or tens of thousands of people. After years of accumulation, no matter how big the family business was, it could not withstand the toss and troubles.

After a few years of fighting, Emperor Wu of Han squandered all the wealth of Wen and Jing's rule. Later, he had to appoint cruel officials and ministers who made money. He tried every means to plunder wealth to maintain the needs of the war.

What was the prosperous Tang Dynasty? When Wu Zetian arrived, she couldn't fight. When Li Longji was at the time of Li Longji, she simply appointed the Hu people and asked them to lead troops to fight and station in the border. What? Is the emperor stupid? Of course, you can understand this way, but so many pillar ministers of the court, who are smarter than monkeys, can't they see the risks?

It’s not that I can’t see it, but that there is no way!

Spend too much money!

Even the superpowers in later generations cannot start wars at will. Once they fall into it, the weakest will cause national strength to be depleted, and the severest will cause damage to the muscles and even the country will disintegrate.

In fact, from this perspective, some things advocated by Confucianism are not wrong. They just overemphasize one aspect, giving up the war that should be fought, and giving up the things that should not be given, without rules and no bottom line. In the end, they are without dignity and keeping the incompleteness.

It's funny that Wang Ning'an presided over the overall situation in the northwest and actually took time to read the Analects of Confucius and look at Mencius every day. He reads quite an experience.

"The Confucian way and the Confucius and Mencius method can last for thousands of years and last forever. There are naturally some truths. Erlang should read more and learn more! If you don't understand anything, you can find me and I will explain it to you!"

"Give me the gun!"

Wang Ning'an threw the book in his hand and glared at Wen Yanbo fiercely. Our husband Wen didn't care at all. He took his own care of himself, grabbed the luminous cup, drank the wine from the Western Regions, and looked intoxicated.

"If the climate in the Western Regions could be better, I would rather bury my bones here!"

Wang Ning'an was speechless, "I said to you, Brother Kuanfu, I must have made a lot of money, right?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "I earned all the hard money, how can I compare to Erlang? Your Majesty gave you all Liangzhou, Hexi Corridor, and all the Western Regions, but it is your fiefdom. Your Majesty is rich in all the worlds, why do you have a sea of ​​one? "

"Pooh!"

Wang Ning'an spat fiercely, "Wen, please stop fooling me! Is our Majesty really rich? His books are all debts! Not to mention anything else, in the battle of the Northwest, nearly 200,000 people were killed or injured. How to deal with it? Even if one person gives 100 guan, he will have to pay 20 million guan. Is our Majesty really rich?"

Wen Yanbo was even more aware of the financial situation of the court than Wang Ning'an. He smiled slightly, "Erlang, what you mean, do you want to relieve your worries?"

"It's also a way to relieve our troubles!"

Wang Ning'an confessed: "If we want to gain a foothold in the Western Regions and expand our power, war is indispensable. If we do not have morale and have no desire to fight, we will sooner or later be driven out of the Western Regions, just like the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's the reason." Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Erlang, what are your ideas?"

"What else can I do? I can only place it on the spot." Wang Ning'an said: "Lao Wen, how many people do you need in your trading center?"

"This... requires at least three thousand people. There are more and more merchants in the Western Regions and the Song Dynasty. When entering Lanzhou, you have to check the goods, determine the value, organize transactions and pay taxes, and prevent smuggling and provide protection... Three or five thousand people are not a big deal, but the problem is that I need experienced clerks. Mr. Qiu Ba can't even write his name, so I'm afraid it won't work!"

"Who said it!"

Wang Ning'an angrily scolded, "Don't underestimate others. Not to mention others, most of the soldiers transferred from Hebei are literate, they all know simple arithmetic and drawing, and they are very disciplined. With a little training, they can come in handy!"

"Take it seriously?" Wen Yanbo was shocked, "Why did they come to join the army with such great ability?"

"It's the literacy class I arranged!"

Wang Ning'an said: "Most soldiers cannot do it for the rest of their lives. Some are in poor health, some are injured and disabled, and some are not promoted... In short, they will leave the military camp one day. Any soldiers from Youzhou who enter the military camp must learn at least 300 words in a year. For more than 3 years, they can write simple official documents, basic arithmetics, scouts can also survey and draw pictures. Engineers must understand construction projects, and soldiers responsible for purchasing. Their familiarity with goods is no worse than that of the commercial and commercial bureaus! "

"Oh My God!"

Wen Yanbo jumped up suddenly, patted his butt, and rushed directly to the military camp.

I really didn’t expect that Wang Family Army had so many treasures hidden!

Wen Yanbo was really short of people and couldn't wait for a moment.

In fact, when Wang Ning'an was in the past, promoting cultural courses among his own divisions and utilityists, there was a lot of resistance. A group of big-headed soldiers could not understand why they wanted to read and read, and what they wanted was harder than students!

A stinky hillock, I have to compete with literati!

At that time, Wang Ning'an had no choice but to threaten and induce people. Whoever has good academic performance will be rewarded and whoever has poor academic performance will not be promoted.

It was not until the end of the Battle of Youzhou that the resistance in the army disappeared because everyone saw the benefits of studying!

After newly built Youzhou, people need to be hired everywhere!

In the past, literati said that they could only conquer the world immediately, but not govern the world immediately!

This is actually true. You only know how to fight, kill, and you can’t even understand official documents. You don’t know how to collect taxes. What are the laws and regulations? They all look at them all. Are you still being played with and applauded by civil servants?

The results of success should be given to others with both hands.

The Wang family army changed this phenomenon. Although they were not smarter than literati, they were at least more down-to-earth. The literati understood that they worked hard and could understand that they could be familiar with what literati could not do, especially with hardships!

Today, among the minor officials in Youzhou, 30% are retired veterans, including local areas, farms, ranches, horse farms, commercial banks, escort agencies... Almost every industry is filled with an astonishing number of veterans.

They united and pulled each other, occupying a very important position in the entire Youzhou, and no one dared to ignore their existence.

It was finally the northwest turn. Wen Yanbo walked around the military camp. I have to say that the wounded veterans in Youzhou were of excellent quality. Through chatting, Wen Yanbo found that it was a dilemma to let them manage one county and one state, but it was not a problem to be responsible for inspecting goods, verifying prices, and collecting taxes.

Moreover, they are fierce enough and have their own force. When they meet the arrogant Western Region merchants, they will settle them directly!

These people are simply gifted treasures from heaven. The most important thing is that they are cheap. Each person's basic salary is only 10 kcal per month. In addition, various benefits and commissions, the overall labor cost is only one-fifth of the clerk.

Oh my god, I would have fired Song Qi and others if I had known it!

What big cloves of garlic do you think I have no one to use?

Wen Yanbo took the 100 people he picked out and swaggered to the trading center. He deliberately passed by the residence of the Qiyingshe and others, wanting them to see it, but it would be the same if everyone was gone!

I don’t eat pigs with hair!

The first one is the smelly and hard Duke Song of the Sanyuan.

When he arrived at the door, he noticed a wooden sign with two big characters from private school, which was quite stylish.

Wen Yanbo hesitated and couldn't help laughing.

When you are poor, you will think of change. This Song Gong is going to run a private school to make money! He forced himself to such a miserable level? Wen Yanbo couldn't hide his complacentness, so he simply asked the veterans to wait first, and he went to knock on the door.

Someone inside asked, "Who is it?"

Wen Yanbo deliberately held his throat thicker and said in a silly voice: "He is here to study and study!"

Oops hey!

This sentence made the people inside very happy.

Song Xiang jumped up from the shabby lounge chair and almost burst into laughter!

There is no oil and salt store that doesn’t open!

I hang out the sign myself, and my family said something whimsical. Now I know my wiseness? It’s just two days before a student came to my house.

The wine is fragrant and you don’t have to worry about the deep alley!

Song Qi looked down at his clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I have never been so poor in this life! Here is the mirror, come it!"

"It's a mirror, and the steamed buns this morning are all!" The lady grabbed the water, served the clear water for a while, and delivered it to Xianggong Song.

Song Qi looked at the blurred figure in Qingshui, which was quite clean. "I can only deal with it. It's okay. Wait until the private school starts. Just relying on my name alone is enough to attract scholars all over the world. By then, I will definitely surpass the Six Arts School. Ouyang Xiu's ink will not be worthy of carrying shoes for me!"

Song Xiang dusted the dust on his body and hurried out.

While walking, he also said, "There is a road in the mountains of books, and the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless. Although the humble room is covered, the orchid is fragrant. I personally teach you to ensure that the toad palace is full of osmanthus and smooth flow..."

He reached out and pushed open the door, but what he looked up was Wen Yanbo's annoying old face!

Song Xiang's smile froze in an instant.

"You? Why are you here?"

Wen Yanbo saw Song Xiang's embarrassment and suddenly laughed loudly, making his stomach hurt.

"I said, Brother Gong Xu, what are you doing? Just write a private school? You should come out and shout, otherwise who knows who you are! This is Lanzhou, not the capital, and your fame is not as big as a tiger!"

"A tiger? Who is he?"

"It's a sand thief who is rampant in Liangzhou, who specializes in killing family robbery!"

"You?" Song Xiang's old face turned purple and red, "Wen Kuanfu! You bully others too much! It's not what a gentleman does!!!"

"Gentleman? Gentleman is starving to death. I'm sending students to you. Look, more than one hundred people are enough to fill your stomach!" Wen Yanbo said, pointing to the veterans behind him.
