Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"Such a perfect political method is the elusive vision of our scholars..."

In fact, what he sees now is only the prosperity brought by the port to the "local", or the short-term effect, and the future development is the focus.

And what he said was a bit conservative. In fact, the role of the exchange is more than that?

The establishment of the world's first exchange is to strengthen the connection between powerful merchants and solve the imbalance between supply and demand.

With the Xiangyang Exchange, it is equivalent to linking the important business activities of the entire Song Dynasty.

For example, if the people of Jingxiang want to grow commercial crops, they can sign contracts with merchants before planting them. After they mature, they don’t need to work hard to sell them. The merchants can purchase them according to the prior agreement and sell them where they are most needed...

This model is very common in later generations, but it was an extremely advanced thing in the Song Dynasty.

The basis of its existence lies in the mastery and transmission of information, which is also what Cao Bin takes a fancy to.

Maybe this information may not be accurate, such as weather forecasts, but there is always an extra reference.

After all, even the weather forecasts of future generations are sometimes inaccurate.

In this era, an accuracy rate of [-]% to [-]% is enough.

"My lord, if you want to clean up the court and change Uncle Zhongjing's position, the key lies in your marriage with him."

Seeing Bao Zheng lost in thought, Gongsun Ce shook his feather fan and said.

Bao Zheng said helplessly: "It's hard to say, after all, the two generations of the Pang-Cao family have a friendship."

Gongsun Ce smiled confidently:

"It's not difficult for Gongsun, just a few divorces are enough for Uncle Cao to recognize Grand Master Pang's true colors..."

"At that time, whether the adults accept him as a disciple or arrange marriage for him, it will be a very simple matter."

Bao Zheng glanced at him, waved his hand and said:

"Don't say that again, how can the affairs of the court involve his marriage?"

"Furthermore, the government is just pitying his talent, not trying to form a party."

"Why should I take him in as a disciple? To teach him martial arts?"

Speaking of this, even he himself showed a little smile.

When the magistrate of Yicheng heard this, he was thoughtful.

This Uncle Zhongjing seems to have a good relationship with Tianbo Mansion and Mr. Bao, his position is a bit ambiguous, and he seems to be quite talented.

I don't know if my mentor, Kou Xiang, has the intention to win him over.

Considering the speed of Cao Bin's promotion, he may soon grow into the backbone of the imperial court.

Thinking of this, he planned to write a letter to Beijing immediately after returning home.

On this day, people from all the prefectures in the nine counties of Jingxiang gathered in Yicheng County.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there were more than 4 to [-] military tents outside the county seat.

It was rare for the people to see so many horses, and they thought there was going to be another war, so they were too frightened to go out.

The magistrate of Yicheng smiled wryly and said:

"It's also fortunate that these soldiers have good military discipline, otherwise I, Yicheng, will be in trouble."

The soldiers who rushed outside Yicheng County did not ask to enter the city, but just buried their pots and cooked their own food. After eating, they started group activities, and some even found time to train.

This kind of military appearance made Bao Zheng and the others look sideways.

Such a self-disciplined army, not to mention the Forbidden Army and Xiang Army stationed in the place, even the Upper Fourth Army in Bianjing is very rare.

As the saying goes, what kind of general, what kind of soldiers.

Of course, it is not about people like Cao Bin, but because of his method of organizing the army.

In order to save energy, he directly asked Yang Zhi to send more than 1000 Xiangyang garrisons to serve as officers in the garrisons of various states.

Anyway, all the generals and schools in those armies have been withdrawn, just to make up some, even the reward system has been brought over.

In this case, those troops became the same temperament as the Xiangyang garrison.

"Not bad! Very good! This kind of sergeant is called the elite teacher of the Song Dynasty! I didn't expect Cao Bin to have such an ability to manage the army!"

Several people stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, Bao Zheng couldn't help but said.

It could be seen that he was very happy in his heart, and even called Cao Bin casually.

Hearing this, the county magistrate of Yicheng made up his mind even more, and must write a letter to the teacher as soon as possible.

At this moment, only the sound of the golden drum that shook the sky suddenly sounded in several military camps outside the city.

Countless sergeants lined up quickly and shouted in unison.

"Ho, ho..."

"Great Song Wansheng!"

"Uncle mighty!"

The magistrate of Yicheng was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he panicked, "What's wrong? What are they going to do?"

Gongsun Ce chuckled lightly, and the feather fan pointed to the distance: "Don't worry about the county lord, Uncle Zhongjing is here!"

I saw countless smoke and dust flying from the north, and thousands of horses and horses were approaching. A general in front of him robbed his horses and led a group of knights straight to the barracks.

At the same time, a figure in red rode towards the city gate.

When he got close, he flew up from his horse, took a few steps on the damaged part of the city wall, and jumped directly onto the top of the city wall, clasped his hands with a smile on his face and said:

"My lord, Uncle Zhongjing personally led 5000 troops to wait for dispatch!"

Gongsun Ce laughed and said, "Sir, as I expected, it's only one step away..."

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "Let Cao Bin come to see me, it's too much work!"

The magistrate of Yicheng heard what Gongsun Ce said, and said quickly:

"My lord Bao, these are trivial matters, why should I hate Uncle Cao because of this?"

"I heard that Uncle Zhong Jing has a good relationship with the Yang family, but the eighth sister of the Yang family has never been married."

"Isn't this a match made in heaven? Lord Bao is taking this opportunity to talk about one or two!"

When Gongsun heard this, he also nodded to Bao Zheng and said, "My lord, maybe you can give it a try."

Bao Zheng looked at the two of them with a frown and said, "How can this government do such a villain's tricks behind the scenes of other people's marriages?"

Zhan Zhao was also taken aback by what the two said.

However, he also felt that with Cao Bin's attitude towards Bao Zheng, even if he would not follow his suggestion, he would still consider it.

Hearing Bao Zheng's refusal, Gongsun Ce stopped talking, but the magistrate of Yicheng was unwilling to give up.

After all, the court is roughly divided into three departments, Taifu Cai, Taishi Pang and Prime Minister Kou.

Pulling Cao Bin over is equivalent to weakening Taishi Pang and strengthening his teacher Kou Zhun.

So he hastened to persuade:

"Lord Bao, I'm an official, this is also for the court's consideration."

"And the eighth lady of the Yang family is young and beautiful, with superb martial arts skills, wouldn't she be more suitable for a young talent like Uncle Zhongjing?"

"In contrast, the little lady of the Pang family is just an ordinary boudoir, she just took advantage of her engagement since childhood."

"Even if Uncle Zhongjing won't agree, and won't hold grudges against Master Bao, why not give Master Bao a try?"

Bao Zheng frowned and looked at him, scolded:

"Don't talk too much! Not to mention whether Cao Bin will hold a grudge, have you ever asked the Yang family?"

"So self-assertive, who gave you the right? Kou Xiang?"

Seeing that Bao Zheng was showing anger, the magistrate of Yicheng had no choice but to keep silent, just shaking his head and sighing for losing this opportunity.

At this time, they saw that the gates of all the camps were opened, and they welcomed the general in front.

Then, countless soldiers came out in a single file, marching towards the city wall in a generally neat line.

Although Cao Bin did not participate too much in the military and political affairs, he would order some simple and useful things in later generations when he remembered them.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad, just like the iron whistle on the neck of the yamen servant, and the array of military postures in front of him.

At this time, Cao Bin had already arrived with Xiangyang soldiers and horses, and rode to stop under the city wall.

At the same time, the queue had already walked not far in front of Cao Bin, passing by, shouting in unison:

"Our army is mighty! Great Song Wansheng!"

Hearing the shouts and shouts one after another, the hearts of the people on the tower suddenly surged, and a rush of hot blood rose involuntarily in their chests.

The county magistrate of Yicheng couldn't help exclaiming:

"What a majestic soldier, such a uniform military appearance, how did Uncle Zhong Jing train?"

"This... is this too unbelievable?"

Zhan Zhao also sincerely admired:

"Uncle Cao is indeed very talented. I used to think that the disciples of the generals just read a few more military books."

"Now it seems that Zhan Zhao is too self-righteous..."

But they don't know that this is just a look.

Although it looks neat, in fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that many people have gone wrong.

After all, it has only been more than half a month, less than a month, to reach this level, Yang Zhi and others have worked hard.

They can scare those who have never seen the military parade of later generations, but they can't scare Cao Bin.

After all, he had seen the "big scene".

Bao Zheng and the others waited for more than half an hour. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Cao Bindao finished inspecting the soldiers.

The county magistrate of Yicheng said with a smile: "With so many elite soldiers, bandits in the mountains are nothing to worry about."

Bao Zheng also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

At this moment, several people saw the soldiers quickly return to the camp and began to dismantle the camp.

The county magistrate of Yicheng was surprised: "What are they doing? Do they want to go into the mountains overnight to suppress the bandits? But there is no need to pull out the camp, right?"

As he was speaking, Cao Bin had already led several subordinates up the city wall, walked a few steps closer to Bao Zheng and said with a smile:

"Master Bao, how have you always been?"

Bao Zheng smiled, nodded and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing is being polite, but you don't have to come in person."

With that said, he said a little more seriously:

"However, for the matter of borrowing troops from our government, it's a bit inappropriate for Uncle Zhongjing to work so hard. In the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Bin interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said directly:

"Lord Bao misunderstood, it was Cao who wanted to inspect the soldiers of the states, so he borrowed Yicheng County for use."

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling extremely embarrassed. Before he could react, Cao Bin took out another excuse and said:

"I have one more thing to do..."

With that said, he handed the IOU in front of Bao Zheng and said:

"This is the cost of Bao Mian's visit to the brothel, a total of 1000 taels. If Mr. Bao has money, please settle it with Cao."

If it wasn't for Bao Mian not coming with Cao Bin, Bao Zheng would have killed his nephew.

But he really didn't have any money with him, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhan Zhao has already turned his back, and has no face to look at.

At this moment, Shi Qian ran up the city wall and said, "Uncle, the spies have come to report that they have been released from prison!"

When Cao Bin heard the words, he quickly put away the receipt carefully and said:

"Master Bao, Mr. Cao still has something to do, so I will leave first, you need to raise money as soon as possible...,"
