"Similarly, seeing the [-] elite imperial guards, the general also knew in his heart that without the care of his benefactor, the Sanya would not assign such elites to the general."
"Received the generous gift of benevolence again and again, if the last general still doesn't know what to do, isn't he a fool?"
Guo Mo also got some information beforehand, coupled with his own guesses, to say these words.
"Haha, Enxiang, look at this No. [-] Scholar, he has a demeanor of 'both civil and military'. It is not in vain that Enxiang cultivated it secretly."
Before Shi Miyuan could answer, the guest sitting next to him commented first.
"I haven't asked for advice yet, who is this?"
Seeing that the other party had spoken, Guo Mo also bowed his hand to the other party and asked.
"Old man Zhao Rushu."
The guest stroked the three beards under his jaw, and said with a smile.
It turned out that this person was Zhao Rushu, one of the "Three Murders of Four Woods", the current minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and it was rumored that he was also the eighth grandson of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.
The person who is best at slandering others and opportunistically praising himself in person?
"It turns out that Master Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was in person, and the general will be rude."
After speaking, he stood up and bowed respectfully again.
Guo Mo came to the meeting today to put on a "surrender" appearance, play a Song version of "Infernal Affairs", secretly accumulate his own strength, and take the opportunity to weaken the opponent's strength.
When the time is right, destroy it in one fell swoop.
After thinking about this Moze incident, Guo Mo thought it was perfect.
Although there are some accidental factors, the result is good.
The original "four woods and three evils" have now gone to "one evil", and the position of household assistant left by Mo Ze, taking advantage of Shi Miyuan's current special situation, the government has appointed Yue Ke, the general of the East, will act temporarily.
Yue Ke is the grandson of Yue Fei, and the father of Yue Ao, who is currently the deputy commander of the "Dunwu Army".
Let him supervise the Military Weapons Supervision, and then entered the Ministry of Households, which is obviously for the logistics of the "Dunwu Army", completely eliminating hidden dangers.
"It's good for young people to know the seriousness. Although you have the title of 'Student of the Son of Heaven', after all, the 'Martial Arts' is led by the Privy Council. Strictly speaking, this old man is your serious 'master'."
The "Lord" is the "Master" of later generations. Guo Mo did not expect Shi Miyuan to say such a thing. Is it clear that he wants to pull himself on board?
Guo Moduo will come, and today he came to "surrender". With such a good cut, how could he not seize it.
Guo Mo hastily got up and left his seat again, came to Shi Miyuan, and performed a "teacher's ceremony" respectfully.
"Student Guo Mo has met the 'Lord'. The student was shallow when he was young, and he will rely on his benefactor to teach him a lot in the future."
"Haha, good. You don't have any foundation in the court. If you encounter any problems in the future, you might as well talk to the old man first, so that I can clear it up for you."
"As for the officials, please don't show that you belong to the old man. Except for the people here today, the old man doesn't want others to know about our relationship for the time being."
Hearing what Shi Miyuan said, both Zhao Rushu and Guo Mo were a little surprised, but they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Now that everyone is related to this "level", it is much easier to speak.
"The old man heard about the 'Sanyuan Building'. Later, the twenty or so martial arts didn't go to your 'Dunwu Army'. This old man ordered me not to bother you."
"Since you are committed to building a strong team, then I will fully support you. I also want to see how far you can do it. I wonder if there are any difficulties?"
Shi Miyuan looked very happy. Taking down Guo Mo was equivalent to taking down the "Dunwu Army", and Guo Mo also held the title of "Imperial City Secretary". Isn't this much stronger than the original Xia Zhen?
Seeing Shi Miyuan asked, how could Guo Mo be polite to him, and he also knew that the more rude he was, the more he would be trusted.
"Enxiang, after all, the general is just a soldier. He has dreamed of building an invincible 'iron army' since he was a child, but now it seems that it is indeed very difficult."
"Oh, is it really difficult? Tell me."
Shi Miyuan picked up the tea bowl again and looked at Guo Mo with a smile.
"Enxiang, it's not difficult to create a powerful army that can dominate the Great Song Dynasty, but this is not what the general wants. The general wants to build a strong army that far surpasses the armies of Jin, Xixia, and Mongolia."
"If that's the case, there will be a huge shortage of supplies. Our Song Dynasty is second to none in terms of weapons and armor, but there are far from enough horses."
"The [-] 'Dunwu Army' that the general dreams of is at least one man and two horses. If it is a long-distance raid, it is best to have three horses. Whether it can be one man and one horse right now, the general is not sure. .”
"One man, three horses?"
Guo Mo's words shocked everyone present.
Just imagine, there were no places that produced horses in the entire Southern Song Dynasty, and they all relied on buying from outside.
The Jin Kingdom, Xixia, and Mongolia in the north, intentionally or unintentionally, strictly restricted the sale of horses to the Song Dynasty.
Now the source of horses in the Southern Song Dynasty mainly comes from the south and Sichuan regions, and the quality of horses is much lower than that in the north.
Even so, there are only more than 1 horses a year, and there is no guarantee that all of them will be war horses.
Even if all the horses Da Song bought every year were given to Guo Mo, it would take him two years to collect "three horses for one person", so how could they all be given to him?
"War horses are indeed a rarity in my Great Song Dynasty, and I can't afford so many at once. How about this, no matter the quality is good or bad, I will get you enough five thousand horses first, so that the 'Dunwu Army' can train normally, and the rest Let’s figure it out slowly.”
Shi Miyuan didn't reject it outright, he somehow saw a sharpness that he had never seen before in this young man.
It's not just his vigor, it seems that people can trust him inexplicably, wanting to see what kind of miracles he can create.
"Thank you, Enxiang!"
This time, Guo Mo was sincerely thanking him, and he couldn't guarantee it. Now in the entire Song Dynasty, who can solve the problem of five thousand war horses for him at one time? It is estimated that even the officials may not be able to do it.
"Enxiang, why doesn't my Song Dynasty pay much attention to 'Ma Zheng'?"
Horse administration refers to the management system of past dynasties governments on the raising, training, use and procurement of official horses.
However, after the Song Dynasty moved south, the horse administration gradually became abolished. There was no source of horses, and no suitable place to raise horses was found, so the only way left was to purchase.
And the current horse administration is still under the management of the Privy Council.
"Haha, Mr. Zhuangyuan, you don't know something. My Song Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and my war horses are completely dependent on buying. The so-called horse administration is not to say that it is in name only."
It was Zhao Rushu who "dispelled confusion" for Guo Mo.
"At the end of the day, I got some news and did some random analysis. I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Guo Mo hesitated, but he seemed to want to say something.
"With this old man, don't be restrained. You still have the vigor that young people should have. What's the matter with the lifeless look?"
It's rare that Shi Miyuan is really like a teacher, saying in a "teaching" tone, maybe he really doesn't have too good juniors.
"At the end of the day, the people in the 'Huangcheng Division' will pay attention to the movements of the three northern kingdoms, Mongolia, Xixia, and Jin."
"I found that their forces seem to be moving towards the border of Xixia recently. The general at the end of the year also traveled to the north, knowing that Mongolia has long wanted to attack Xixia. Jin Guo may stand on Xixia's side."
"However, the general feels that even if Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin join forces, they may not be able to stop the Mongolian attack. Therefore, the general thinks, can our Great Song get a share from Xixia?"
Guo Mo asked tentatively, because he knew that Shi Miyuan was not a person who advocated foreign war.
"You mean, I, Da Song, also participated in the battle against Xixia? But Da Song is not bordering Xixia now."
Shi Miyuan didn't understand Guo Mo's intention for a moment.
"It's probably not my blessing to start the war lightly. What the general is talking about at the end is to solve the problem of war horses."
"Xixia is located in the borderlands. Once a war breaks out, horses are the most indispensable material, and other things such as food, even weapons and armor will be lacking."
"We can contact Xixia secretly, and propose to exchange rice for war horses, and even some weapons and armor. We eliminate them, and they will be considered good in Xixia."
"This matter can be done in the name of 'civilian'. The same thing can also be exchanged with Jin Guo."
"Our goal is not only to meet the needs of war horses, but also to allow them to consume each other. How to operate is not something that the general can figure out."
Guo Mo spoke eloquently, while Shi Miyuan and Zhao Rushu listened quietly, thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.
"The number one scholar has thought far and wide. There is indeed something that can be done about this matter. I will find someone to discuss it later, and there will be a satisfactory answer."
Shi Miyuan thought for a long time, but did not make a final decision.
"Daddy—"
At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the flower hall.
The door curtain was lifted, and a woman in an apricot yellow dress came in from the outside. It seemed that she was less than [-] years old.
Seeing Shi Miyuan sitting in the main seat, he walked over with a smile.
"You girl, why haven't you made any progress in the past few years? Didn't you see that Daddy has guests?"
Shi Miyuan spoke harshly, but rarely showed a smile on his face.
"Mingke, Zhuangyuanlang, this is the adopted daughter of this old man. After staying on the mountain for a few years, she doesn't even understand the basics of the world. You two laughed at me."
"Girl, why don't you go over quickly, have you seen your Uncle Zhao and the champion of Xinkewu?"
Shi Miyuan scolded angrily.
The woman restrained herself a little, and first saluted Zhao Rushu, "I have seen Uncle Zhao."
Then he turned around and looked at Guo Mo in front of him.
One look up, one down, one left, one right, a total of 72 glances, and in the end, Guo Mo felt embarrassed.
"Ahem—girl, have you seen enough, what's the point?"
Shi Miyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't stand it any longer. Isn't this little girl too embarrassing?
They all regretted that they spared no expense over the years, and entrusted favors to send this girl out to learn martial arts.
However, my own life was bought by this girl's biological father back then.
Shi Miyuan had several sons and daughters, but he fell in love with this adopted daughter the most and loved her the most.
"The little girl has seen the No. [-] Scholar—"
Guo Mo couldn't be like Zhao Rushu, who sat down and received a gift, and stood up hastily.
"Little lady is polite."
Unexpectedly, the woman refused to let Guo Mo go after she gave the gift.
"I didn't expect the majestic martial arts champion to look so fair? Daddy, are you sure this is the martial arts champion, not the literary champion?"
"He is so soft and weak, how can he overwhelm the crowd? How about I make gestures with him?"
"Cough-cough-"
Shi Miyuan unconsciously picked up the tea bowl.
"That... Enxiang, if there is nothing else, the last general will resign first, and it happens that the 'Imperial City Secretary' still has some things to take care of."
"Well, today is considered a recognition. The matter of the war horse, the old man will take it to heart. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to the old man at any time."
"Zi Yi, send the number one scholar to you on behalf of your father."
Guo Mo didn't dare to stay any longer, and followed Shi Zhaizhi to leave the flower hall.
"Daddy, why did you let Wu Zhuangyuan go? I haven't been able to compete with him yet."
Seeing that Shi Miyuan sent his son to send Guo Mo away, the woman was a little unhappy, she came behind Shi Miyuan and shook his shoulders with her hands.
"Mochou, stop now, don't shake the old man apart—"
It turned out that Shi Miyuan's adopted daughter's name was "Mochou".
It's a pity that Guo Mo had gone far away and couldn't hear him.
Chapter 195 Sword No. Akasaka
"Mingke, what do you think of this kid?"
Seeing that Guo Mo had left, Shi Miyuan picked up his favorite teacup and turned to the person next to him.
Zhao Rushu asked.
"Enxiang, from the old man's point of view, this son has clear thinking, well-founded advances and retreats, and does not stick to common sense. He is really a person with a firm mind. If he is allowed to develop, he may be difficult to control in the future."
"Haha——Ming Ke, Ming Ke, I often hear people say that you are a 'jealous' person, but I still don't believe it. When I saw you today, I knew that the rumors were true, and you didn't even let a kid of the younger generation go. ah?"
Although, knowing that Shi Miyuan was joking, Zhao Rushu still blushed.
"Enxiang, I don't have any other intentions. I just think that even if we support this son, we should take precautions before they happen, and we can't raise tigers to cause trouble, and we will suffer from it in the end."
"Ming can rest assured, how can the truth not understand your thoughts? It's just that in the Great Song Army, we really need a strong support."
"It's a good thing for this son to be ambitious. If he just blindly obeys his promises and has no edge, the old man will not take a fancy to him!"
"It's just that this kid's performance is indeed very comparable to others. If you want to completely win over him, I'm afraid ordinary methods may not be effective."
