Chapter 5005 Important Matters
In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Wulang got up and went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Jiang Wulang is still not very clear about the information about the guards of the Imperial Guard that Yang Ruoqing mentioned, so he decided to collect it today and tell Yang Ruoqing about it when he comes back.

As for General Luo Fengtang, he doesn't care about these things, what he worries about is the spring offensive of the National Defense Army, as long as there is a change in Qin Hanqing's side, the army will be able to drive straight in.

"Morning, Mr. Jiang."

"Master Jiang, you look very good today."

"Master Jiang, do you need help?"

It's not the same as coming to the Ministry of War.

When Jiang Wulang came to the Ministry of War in the past, the general officials were not familiar with him, so they were very indifferent. Some who didn't like the National Defense Army kept a distance from him and were unwilling to approach him.

But today, these officials have become extraordinarily enthusiastic.

Regardless of whether they knew each other before or not, they would come over to say hello on their own initiative.

Walking on the road, many officials passing by were talking about his glorious deeds of beating a dozen people by himself yesterday. Anyway, it was the commanders of the Imperial Guard and the officials of the Ministry of War who lost face. They were grasshoppers on the same rope as him. Everyone's relative interests are the same.

In addition, he also heard a very interesting gossip.

The daughter of King Zhuang, Princess Changning beat up King Lu's son Qi Guangxia in a certain restaurant.

It is said that it was because Qi Guangxia disrespected Uncle Zhongyong's wife Yang Ruoqing, which aroused great dissatisfaction with Qi Yichun, the owner of Changning County, so much so that he chased after him and beat him, and it is said that he beat him more than once.

This incident made everyone in the capital feel amused. How could Qi Yichun worship Yang Ruoqing?Big joke.

Of course, interested people will feel strange and vigilant, and more people just take it as a joke.

Jiang Wulang stood and listened to the gossip for a while, and then returned to the room after a while.

It's just that not long after he sat down, he saw Ma Chao, Minister of the Ministry of War, walking in from the door.

Jiang Wulang stood up, bowed to Ma Chao and said, "I have seen Mr. Shangshu."

"You don't need to be too polite. I'm here to share with you something important." Ma Chao said.

Jiang Wulang said: "My lord, please speak frankly, what is the important matter?"

Ma Chao said: "Master Wang has already made it clear to me about what happened yesterday. I think the new competition system you proposed is quite good. If we do it this way, the problems that have plagued our Ministry of War for many years will be completely solved. The burden on the official is also much lighter."

Jiang Wulang was still a little confused. After all, he was not used to this kind of official language. He glanced at Ma Chao, and then asked, "Master Ma, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that since you are the first to propose this method, it would be better for you to take full responsibility for this competition."

"After all, when it comes to familiarity, no one else can compare to you."

Of course, when Ma Chao proposed such an idea, he was still a little embarrassed. After all, generally speaking, such things are of no benefit. Instead, he has to bear a heavy responsibility. , Most of them will be blamed by the commanders of the imperial guards.

A few years ago, when encountering this kind of thing within the Ministry of War, they basically pushed each other, and in the end there would always be an unlucky one who took over the blame, but it was not voluntary, and it was also because of helplessness.

Jiang Wulang was still thinking about Yang Ruoqing's instructions on how to find out the relevant information of Dabi. It would be great if he could be directly responsible. Delivered to your door.

However, he did not agree immediately, but looked aside, and the official surnamed Li said: "It is reasonable to say that Li Langzhong should be in charge of this competition today, if I do it , wouldn’t that be Li Langzhong’s work? Isn’t this against the rules?”

Hearing this, Li Langzhong immediately stood up and said: "I am still worried about this in my heart. If it can't be done well, it will delay the matter of your lord. If Jiang himself can take over, then I will definitely agree. of."

"Well, since this is the case, then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient." Jiang Wulang thought for a while, then turned his attention to Ma Chao and said, "My lord, how much is the budget this time?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ma Chao's expression became a little uncomfortable. He took a breath and said: "For this fund, isn't the imperial treasury empty? Silver."

The problem of funding has always been a big problem. This problem has plagued the Ministry of War for a long time. The imperial treasury is empty. For this kind of competition, there is no extra penny. Now, where else can we raise a lot of money.

Jiang Wulang said: "Master Ma, isn't this unreasonable? It's only 2000 taels, which is not enough at all. You know, a whole Imperial Guard Army, more than a dozen teams, requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Eight is simply not enough."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, thought over and over again, and finally said: "At most 3000 taels, any more will be gone."

"Well, let's try it out as an official." Jiang Wulang could only sigh, facing this situation, he had no choice but to do so.

However, after Ma Chao returned to his room, he thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

This matter is very difficult to do. It stands to reason that others are looking for excuses to shirk and are unwilling to take over this matter, but Jiang Wulang did not refute anything, so it is easy to take over.

The contrast is so great that he doubts himself a little. Is there something wrong?
But after thinking about it carefully, I really can't think of anything particularly wrong.

He had no choice but to take a sip of tea and stop thinking about it.

In any case, this problem was finally thrown out completely.

After Jiang Wulang returned to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, he told Yang Ruoqing the whole story.

The specific plan of what to do, of course, was not for him to think about, but for Yang Ruoqing to think about it.

However, Yang Ruoqing was just thinking about the general idea, and the specific work was left to Hongxiu to complete.

Hongxiu's writing skills are very deep. Yang Ruoqing feels that she is stronger than herself. After all, Hongxiu comes from a scholarly family and was trained by a noble lady since she was a child. In addition, she is inherently talented. In this way, her The attainment is very deep.

If it weren't for the fact that women in this dynasty were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise there would be no problem for Hongxiu to be admitted to a Jinshi.

At night, Zi Yan came to the backyard, saw the lights printed on the window paper, and walked a few steps quickly.
