On May of the second year of Yuanyou (27).

Zhao Xu met Yang Ji, who returned to Beijing to serve as the Dushui Supervisor in Chongzheng Hall.

This time the reception was just a formality, purely polite.

Therefore, I just talked a few simple words and encouraged him to work hard in the Dushui Supervisory Office and benefit the people, and it was over.

The next day Yi Si (28).

Zhao Cheng, the governor of the Xihe Lanhuilu, submitted a letter and asked to return to the court to report his duties and follow him!

He also ordered Xihe Lanhui Road Border Defense Finance and Administration Department to return to Zong, and Gao Gongji, etc., to return to the court to report his duties.

On the same day, an edict was issued formally, agreeing to Aligu to send his crown prince to Bianjing.

Those who were also allowed to pay tribute to Bianjing naturally included Wen Xixin and Xibawen.

However, Wen Xi expressed his heart that he was old and could not withstand the long journey, so he asked the court to allow his heir, his nephew Wen Nezhiying, to replace him in the court.

Zhao Xu was naturally good at following the flow and readily agreed.

Speaking of which, Wen Xixin can be regarded as the super long standby king of contemporary times!

You know, his father Wen Qingqi died at the hands of the Qingsi Luo in the third year of Ming Dao of Song Dynasty.

It was at this time that Wen Xixin was taken by his retainers and his subordinates to escape. When Ye Si Luo left Miaochuan, he was taken back to Miaochuan City by his retainers and his subordinates and ruled Miaochuan to this day!

It has been fifty-five years since the Mingdao three years!

During these fifty-five years, he survived the suppression of the three emperors of the Song Dynasty and the three emperors of the Western Xia Dynasty.

This is obviously impossible without some political skills and vision.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, he had made various arrangements even in extreme unfavorable circumstances before being killed by Aligu Design.

Especially when it comes to the choice of heirs, he is extremely rational.

This great leader, when he had a son, ruled out his bloodline and his children as his heir.

Instead, he chose Wen Nezhiying, a nephew who was more convinced and supported by Miaochuan, as his heir.

Before his death, he began to delegate power to Wennezhiying and entrusted his army and herd slaves to Wennezhiying.

This made Aligu try every means to get rid of him, but he had to face a younger and stronger opponent!

So, this is an old fox!

It is precisely because of knowing this that Zhao Xu spent a lot of money!

In order to win over this old fox, he gave policies and benefits, and even asked Monk Zhiyuan to say the words "reincarnate in Miaochuan in the next life."

As long as Wen Xixin is not a fool, he will know that this is the olive branch Zhao Xu gave him and the backup plan left for his descendants.

As long as he is not stupid, he will take the initiative to cooperate.

really!

This time, the old fox himself sent his heir Wen Nezhi Ying to the court on the excuse of being "old and weak".

This is to ask Zhao Xu to personally interview the heir he chose.

At the same time, it is also to establish a solid relationship between Bianjing and Miaochuan.

For this reason, the old fox was still saying in his memorial to Zhao Xu, "I heard that there were famous officials from the Han Dynasty who said that Duke Wen was named Yanbo, who served in four dynasties, loyal to the king's affairs, and protect the country... I am also familiar with him. I have also heard of him... I have long admired Duke's reputation. Now if I am lucky to have your Majesty allow him to enter the court, I would like to choose a famous horse for Duke Wen to offer it...'

Is this what a Tubo leader in Miaochuan City can say?

If Wen Yanbo knew about this, he would probably be so arrogant when walking.

and……

Considering the current momentum of the Bao family in Xizhou, will Wen Xixin be moved?

If he learns from the Bao family in the future, he will play the drama of "admiring Wen Yanbo, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, and begging for the surname Wen."

Should I agree or not?

Zhao Xu only took one second to get the answer to this question!

promise!

Must agree!

As for what if the Wen family suddenly had tens of thousands of relatives in the distant Qinghai?

Cold salad!

The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridgehead!

Believe in the wisdom of future generations!

...

Time flies, and May passes in a flash.

Bianjing City has entered the hottest season of the year, and Zhao Xu has also started summer vacation.

Since the first day of June, the lectures of Jiying Hall have been suspended as usual.

Zhao Xu then began to have more time to do his own thing.

But before that, he had to consolidate his basic foundation first.

So, with the support of Empress Dowager Xiang, he announced that he would leave the palace to inspect Kaifeng Prefecture, and specialize in the manufacturing of the Military Weapon Bureau and the first general of the Dragon.

In the first stop, Zhao Xu chose the first general of the Dragon.

A very simple reason: the knife handle!

No matter how much you pay attention to it, it cannot be an exaggeration!

Therefore, before leaving, the Empress Dowager Xiang issued an order to order Kaifeng Prefecture to buy 500 sheep, 100 pigs, and 2,000 kilograms of fresh fish in the market, and to send it to the military camp of the first general of the Dragon to serve as a bonus for the soldiers before Zhao Xu inspected.

Zhao Xu ordered Liu Weijian to prepare more than 4,000 Jiaozi with a denomination of 20 coins as a reward for the inspection that day.

It just so happens that the number of soldiers of the first general of the Dragon is in this number!

In other words, every big-headed soldier can get a reward of twenty cents on the day Zhao Xu was inspecting.

This is equivalent to the first general of the Dragon, and under normal circumstances, the military pay for three months (the first general of the Dragon receives the highest-end military pay, three jin per month, and also the physical payment of rice, oil, salt, cloth, alum (distributed in summer). These things add up to about six jin per month for a soldier).

Zhao Xu hopes that through this kind of reward, the top soldiers of the Dragon Lord will still remember that when he went to inspect, he received a big red envelope personally sent to them by an official!

When the big soldiers take money, the officials cannot just give money.

Therefore, before Zhao Xu left, he ordered Qian Xie to write a decree.

Everyone!

All the officers of the First General of the Dragon!

Even the lowest level of the head!

All were transferred to the first level!

This kind of thing is born to the Zhao official family without others' needing to teach him.

The skills passed down from the battle of Taizu and Taizong.

What kind of mind can do?

Have you heard of the ten brothers of the Yishe Society of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty?

Do you know how Taizong brought up his brother team under the nose?

Although, since the Zhen Temple, with the stability of the court and peace in the world, the Zhao official family no longer established close ties with the army, especially the grassroots of the army, like Taizu and Taizong.

The entire country has embarked on the path of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts.

But, isn’t that because the world is peaceful?

Now, it is time for great struggle again, and it is time for the big soldiers to work hard for the officials.

Zhao Xu picked up the ancestral skills of his ancestors and was extremely proficient.

If he is given time, he can even establish a deep private bond with those generals who can fight.

Use kindness, interests, and in-laws to tie them firmly to their own chariots.
