As the husband of His Highness the Princess of the Song Dynasty, Wu Yiyong is probably the most "lurky" one. In terms of official positions, there is only an army captain, which is roughly equivalent to an ambassador of the Song Dynasty.

In terms of annual salary, the annual salary is less than 200 yuan, which is equivalent to three to four hundred coins of copper, plus 1,500 acres of knight land.

Speaking of mansions, there is one in Tianjin and one in Yanjing. Among them, the house in Yanjing is still in the suburbs outside the Fifth Ring Road...

As for other properties, the main thing is the 100,000 yuan or one tael of silver coins assigned to him by Pan Qiaolian from the inner account. He can get three or four thousand yuan a year interest, and most of them will be used to maintain the expenses of the Tianjin mansion. In fact, there is not much money left to give him the son-in-law to spend money.

However, including Wu Yiyong and his biological mother Ximen Qing, as well as Zhao Zhongge, Ximen Anguo, Murong Mu and others who support Wu Yiyong as the successor of the Republican Revolution, they will not be dissatisfied with such an arrangement.

Because moderate thrifty life is a test for the revolutionary successor!

Similarly, the huge dowry brought by Zhao Yupan is also a test.

Wu Yiyong must pass the assessment of both diligence and thrift and wealth temptation, and also learn to manage the 100,000 yuan given to him by Pan Qiaolian and the cash in Zhao Yupan's dowry, which must be properly managed in order to preserve and increase value while avoiding high risks.

As a soldier, Wu Yiyong's experience so far is perfect. He has excellent grades in the Knights Academy and his performance on the battlefield is also remarkable.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Yiyong will sooner or later become an outstanding general of the Republic.

However, the head of the Republic cannot be stable by just knowing how to fight. Therefore, Wu Yiyong must also show other abilities...such as being good at managing finances, managing, interacting with people, etc.

Oh, by the way, there is the subject of "manage wealth" in the courses of Knight Elementary School and Knight Academy!

The Great Zhou Republic is a bourgeois republic and naturally is not ashamed to discuss the issue of wealth.

The key is that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way!

As the pillars of the military citizen group, knights and officers must of course have the ability to manage their finances. Otherwise, military citizens who are economically limited to bankruptcy will either be converted into tools for warlords or become thugs of commercial capital.

The collapse of the Roman Republic in history was due to the bankruptcy of the middle-class civic class (they were the source of the republic team, the military citizens).

Therefore, there are courses on financial management in the military academies of the Great Zhou Republic, teaching knowledge about managing farmlands and wealth.

On the one hand, Wu Yiyong was the poorest son-in-law in the history of the Song Dynasty; on the other hand, he would take over a huge fortune.

How to manage well and how to use this wealth is an important step for Wu Yiyong to reach the peak of his life. Anyway, Wu Haogu, the head of state of capitalism, does not believe that even hundreds of thousands to one million people can lead a bourgeois republic with a value of more than one billion...

...

"Sister, I heard that the prosperity of Tianjin is not below Kaifeng Prefecture, the wealth of the Wu family is no less than my family, and Wu Yiyong is the eldest son of Head of Wu..."

At this moment, Zhao Kai, the prince of Donghai of the Song Dynasty, was in a luxurious inn decorated in Nanpi County. While accompanying his elder sister to have dinner, he comforted him kindly.

In history, Princess Qingde Zhao Yupan also had an experience of going north, but it was a trophy that went north, and it was not as beautiful as it is now.

She is Zhao Ji's eldest daughter, and her mother is Empress Zheng, and now she is married thousands of miles away. How can she not be glorious?

Although Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng both knew that Wu Haogu was rich, they were still worried that their daughter would suffer outside and would give her a very generous dowry. The team of marriage sent out was a thousand large trucks, and they could catch up with the logistics convoy of an army.

But Zhao Yupan, who is only 17 years old this year, is leaving his parents for the first time, and he wants to marry a man he has never met before... I heard that he is still a fierce warrior, and he killed someone with a knife at the age of twelve or thirteen! He is so cruel, I don’t know if he will beat his wife? Wow...

When he thought about spending his life with a cruel man, the 17-year-old beautiful girl Zhao Yupan couldn't help but burst into tears.

"But people say that the Wu family and the Tian family must have a battle! I married the eldest son of the Wu family. Will it be..."

Will you become a queen? What should I do if you become a queen? Can Donghai King still be here?

Zhao Kai looked at his sister and suddenly had two somewhat terrible thoughts.

"No," Zhao Kai shook his head quickly, "The Wu family is not even a king, how could it be the best for us? Besides, now my sister is marrying Wu Yiyong, and I should marry Wu Meiniang next year.

I heard that my second sister will marry Wu Yijiu, the legitimate son of the Wu family, in the future. In the future, the two countries and two families will be Qin and Jin, so what else should I worry about?"

"So what's the point of Qin and Jin?" Zhao Yupan just shook his head and sighed, "In ancient times, Qin and Jin had fought a lot of military service!"

When Zhao Kaizheng didn't know how to comfort his sister, a young man's voice came from outside the door: "Big sister, third brother, Wu Erlang has arrived. Mr. Wang (Wang Fu, the deputy envoy of his parents, the actual host of the delegation) asked the king to come out to welcome him together."

Of course, Wu Erlang is not Wu Song, but Wu Haogu's second son Wu Yixin. He is two years younger than Wu Yiyong and is still a student at the Knights Academy. He has taken leave these days and brought hundreds of iron armored knights to help his brother pick up the bride.

Wu Haode has been in and out of the palace since he was a child and is very familiar with Zhao Ji's children, so he is not called "Your Highness, King". He simply calls Zhao Yupan "big sister" and Zhao Kai "third brother".

But looking at the appearance of the three of them, they really look like they are brothers and sisters.

Zhao Kai stood up and said to his sister: "Sister, don't worry, even if there is a day when we meet, our elder brother will worry. You are the wife of the Wu family, and I am the prince of Donghai. What's the fear?"

He turned around and smiled and said to Wu Haode: "Wu Sanlang, after the New Year, you will be your eldest sister's third uncle. You have to take good care of your eldest sister in the future, so don't let someone bully her."

Although Wu Haode is young, he has a high seniority. When Zhao Yupan married into the Wu family, he would be his niece-in-law. So now he is patting his chest as a security guard, and he really thinks he is an old elder.

...

Just when Zhao Yupan, Zhao Kai, and Wu Haode, the three brothers and sisters entered the territory of the Great Zhou Republic under the protection of hundreds of iron-armored knights of the Republic of China, their father Zhao Ji was meeting with the envoys of the Great Jin Kingdom Wanyan Zongpan and Gao Qingyi in Chongzheng Hall.

Wanyan Zongpan was the eldest son of Wu Qimai, while Gao Qingyi was a Bohai native who defected to the Jin Dynasty. Both of them belonged to the anti-Zhou factions of the Jin Dynasty. This time, they were ordered by Dubojilie Aguda to come to Kaifeng Prefecture to discuss the formation of a "broken surround net" with the Song Dynasty.

The so-called surround net of the surrounds of the Great Zhou Republic of course!

In the past two years, the Great Zhou and the Jin Kingdom maintained superficial peace and normal trade exchanges, and on the other hand, a long and lasting proxy war was fought through the Dongliao!

This war between the Eastern Liao and Jin Kingdom is different from any previous war between the northern barbarians. This is not a grassland mobile war, but a battle between fortresses and fortresses.

After Xiao Sesse relied on the bastion and the counterattack of large troops to severely attack Hebule, the Empress Dowager of Dongliao became a "fortress crazier". Not only did he build a fortress line that started every few dozen miles on the Korqin grassland east of the Qianli Pine Forest, he built a fortress line that started from the Liaohe River in the east and the Qianli Pine Forest in the west, and built a fortress line that lasted more than 1,000 miles long.

In addition, two major bastion groups were built on the Bashang Grassland on the western front with Swallow Fort and Mulan Fort west of Qianli Pine Fort.

The southern part of the Korqin Grassland and the southern part of the Bashang Grassland are all under the control of the continuous castle groups!

Faced with this tactic of supporting the defense net with the fortress line and then using armored cavalry to maneuver inside. Aguda and Wu Qimai were helpless. Although they organized several assaults, they were all repelled by the armored cavalry led by Xiao Sesse. Although they did not suffer much loss, Xiao Sesse's prestige greatly increased and became the "Queen Khan" on the grassland that could fight against the Jurchens.

Many Khitans who were wandering on the grassland all came back one after another, and some small tribes of the Tatars, the enemy and the Wugu people also ran to rely on them.

Aguda and Wu Qimai had no choice but to face each other and fight against each other with a fortress.

But the problem is that the Jurchens always cannot create qualified cannons. What is the use of a bastion without cannons? Let the Jurchen warriors stand on the triangle to shoot arrows? But Xiao Sesse has artillery! The Dongliao fires artillery and the Jurchen shoots arrows, and the result can be imagined.

The bastion of Dongliao was solid, and the Jurchens were always broken by Dongliao. Although the Jurchens could still maintain the situation of confrontation on the grasslands with their advantages in field battles. However, losing a bastion in just a few days is still too detrimental to prestige.

As a last resort, Aguda and Wu Qimai had to ask for help from their sect leader, the Song Dynasty, and hoped to get the artillery of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, they also wanted to unite with the Song Dynasty and use two north and south bastion blockade lines to surround the Zhou State.

Zhao Ji sat high on the imperial throne, listening to Wanyan Zongpan's speech in Hedong's Chinese language, his brows were always frowning. After Zongpan finished his nagging, he did not express his opinion. Instead, he said a few good words that were not painful, and then sent Zongpan and Gao Qingyi.

After Zong Pan and Gao Qingyi left, Zhao Ji said to the Shaozai Ji Yi who was accompanying him to meet, and Zhang Shun, the official of the Privy Council, said at night: "How did the Jurchens learn from us to build the city wall?"

Zhang Shuye said: "Report to Your Majesty, since the Zhou Dynasty invented artillery, the method of fighting war has been different from before. Now the latest way of fighting is to bombard the cavalry after the cavalry, and then bombard the cannons after the cavalry after the cavalry. The Jurchens only have cavalry and no cannons, so they can't deal with Empress Xiao."
