Chapter 344: The storm re-emerges

"How do you think of the emperor Liu Qing? He doesn't know that the people say that. Compared to His Majesty, it's a completely different person!" Liu Ting gave in.

"How can Liu Qing compare with His Majesty? His Majesty is the emperor of the ages, comparable to Qin Shihuang. Liu Qing is just a clown who jumps into the beam!"

The two young generals said one by one, and Wang Jixun shook his head helplessly, especially Liu Tingrang. He remembered that Liu was not like this in his early years, and should have been influenced by Guo Hao.

"Okay, we have been walking for a long time. Why don't you find a place to eat? Let's leave for a few days by ourselves. I'm a little relieved to be at home. It's better to go back early." Wang Jixun said.

"What are you afraid of? Brother Yin is here? We finally came out. There is nothing to do anyway. Why not have a chance to play for a few days before talking about it!"

Pan Mei suggested staying for two days, but Wang Jixun disagreed. Liu Tingrang laughed secretly on the side, and Pan Mei had no choice but to beg: "For only one day, let's just play for one day!"

Seeing that both of them were very interested, Wang Jixun thought that it was really nothing to do when he went back, so he hesitated and nodded.

Pan Mei and Liu Tingrang were overjoyed and pulled Wang Jixun into a restaurant. The waiter received three people in the reception, and they were a little alert when they heard the accents of them.

Wang Jixun saw his alertness and smiled and said, "Don't worry, this guy, we are businessmen from Jiangnan. This time we came to Xingwang Mansion to do business, so we can have fun around."

When I heard that it was a businessman, the waiter's face was gentle and said, "It turned out to be three bosses. What do you want to eat?"

(I won’t speak Guangzhou dialect here, neither do I…)

"Take all the delicious foods you have, yours will be inseparable from money."

As he said that, Pan Mei took out a ingot of silver. The waiter's eyes shone. He picked up the silver and said, "Wait for a moment, and then left." He didn't have much effort and served a table of dishes.

Seeing the different dishes on the table, the few people were not polite. They were all martial arts practitioners and there was no taboo.

"Well, this meat is good, what kind of meat is this!"

Liu Tingrang asked the waiter while eating. The waiter said on the side: "Return, this is snake meat. The snake meat in our store is the most delicious, and the three of them are still satisfied!"

When they heard that it was snake meat, the three of them were stunned for a moment. They didn’t feel uncomfortable. Instead, they felt that they didn’t know before that snake meat could taste so delicious!

The three of them had a big meal, left the restaurant after having enough food and food, and saw a shocking scene!

An official posted a notice to select three evil people and attack the "performance" for Liu Qing to show. The content of the "performance" was nothing else, and there was nothing to do with men and women!

For a time, countless people signed up, and those officials seemed to choose as if they were officials. Not only did they have to be strong, but those with "specialties" also had extra points!

"Brother Pan, don't you try it? I think it's just right for you to go!"

Liu Tingrang looked at Pan Mei with a smile. Pan Mei shook her head quickly, Brother Liu, don’t talk nonsense, why did Pan do such a ridiculous thing? That Liu Feng is really...

The three of them no longer knew how to evaluate Liu Hui. Not only did they write this in the notice, they also publicly chose a couple of them for his favorite concubine. The few of them were chilling, and just listening to it made them feel extremely absurd.

"I think we'd better go back. I've been here for a long time. I'm afraid we'll be infected..."

A series of absurd behaviors made the three of them feel uncomfortable. After all, the Song Dynasty was a country of etiquette. In the past few days, under the rule of Guo Hao, the customs of the people have greatly improved.

Pan Mei is right. Human desire is a monster. It is usually locked in a moral cage, but once the cage is broken, people will become monsters.

The three decided to leave. When they passed by the city gate, a pair of people came in front of them. A car caught up with a strangely dressed man. Wang Jixun recognized him at a glance.

"Kneel down, and you all kneel down, don't you see the witch!"

"That's the favorite minister of the Southern Han Emperor, the witch Fan Huzi!"

The three of them squatted in the crowd, and Wang Jixun whispered to the two. Pan Mei was a little curious and asked, "Is Fan Huzi a woman?"

Wang Jixun nodded: "According to the spy, Fan Huzi is indeed a woman, and the ministers in the palace are all eunuchs, and the attendants of the Southern Han Dynasty are also women!"

“…”

The two were completely speechless. In Guo Hao's words, Nan Han completely refreshed their views. A foolish emperor, with a group of women and eunuchs, was not yet destroyed. It has to be said to be a miracle.

The real reason is that the local forces in the Southern Han Dynasty were controlled by literati, just like the Song Dynasty in history. In this way, the position of the emperor was stable, but the country was also not good.

After Guo Hao ascended the throne, the purpose of a series of military and political reforms was to separate the two like later generations.

Local officials have administrative power, but do not have military power. If they have military power, they do not have administrative power. However, they are both military and political, and even the direction of business development is in his hands.

Now after several years of development, this model has been basically stable, and the people also have various departments. They will go to different departments to handle anything, unlike before.

The establishment of the military region has basically determined the tone of the army. Except for some areas with permanent troops, the public security tasks in the other areas are handed over to the public security system.

Guo Hao was determined to copy future generations, and it was impossible to do so overnight. The reason was not that it could not be done, but that China has not yet achieved national unity, and people's knowledge is only the land of China.

The three of them figured out the situation of the Southern Han Dynasty, which was roughly the same as the information provided by Guo Hao. Only then did they understand why Guo Hao was not in a hurry, because under such rule, it was only a matter of time before the demise of the Southern Han Dynasty.

The south was temporarily calmed down, but the Liao Kingdom was not honest again. He raised his troops to invade Tanzhou and ordered the troops of the governor of the southern military commander Le to hunt on Youzhou to show his mighty power.

After so much silence, the Liao Kingdom began to provoke again. As soon as the Song army arrived in Lingnan, the Liao Kingdom sent troops to invade.

After learning the news, Guo Hao ordered to defend the city and not to go to war at will. It was not time to attack the Liao Kingdom because his war horses were not enough!

Speaking of war horses, it must be inseparable from the cavalry. When Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were able to defeat the Huns, it was due to the strength of the cavalry.

Since Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Central Plains have lost the land of horse breeding, so the Central Plains are scarce and naturally they are not the opponent of the Khitan.

Before Guo Hao ascended the throne, he took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. At that time, people had already begun to arrange for horses to raise. A war horse could grow up for two years, but his personality was still young.

It will take five years to wait for it to become an adult, so Guo Hao's cavalry in the northern military region has just begun to train, and both people and horses need to be tempered.

Thinking of the cavalry, Guo Hao felt that it was still a bit slow at the current speed. He had already arranged all the places he could arrange, but the number of war horses was still insufficient.

The provocation of Liao Kingdom reminded Guo Hao that cavalry is the most basic requirement to deal with nomadic peoples. It will take some time before the musket is used, so he cannot be idle before this.

So he found seven people from the cabinet to discuss the matter of raising horses.

"Everyone, the Liao Kingdom invaded Tanzhou. Although we can stop it, being beaten by passively is not my personality. Sooner or later, I will fight back.

However, before this, we want to strengthen our cavalry team. The war horses in Yanyun area have just been developed and it will take time to train them.

The war horses of the Liao Kingdom cannot flow into our country. What can you do to supplement the war horses of the Song Dynasty?"

When the seven people heard Guo Hao’s question, they all lowered their heads and thought. Lu Duosun looked up and said, “Your Majesty, we can expand the scope of horse raising. There are also many places in Yanyun South suitable for horse raising!”

After Lu Duosun finished speaking, the few people nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, but Guo Hao felt that it was inappropriate.

"The reason for raising horses in Yanyun area is that there are vast grasslands there, so there is no need to complain too much.

The second is the environment and climate there. The mainland horses went to the north. If they could not adapt to the environment and climate there, they would probably have trouble in the future.

Third, even if we raise horses in the mainland, we need to invest much more energy than in the north, which is a drop in the bucket, so it is not recommended to do so unless it is absolutely necessary.”

Guo Hao made Lu Duosun's idea in one sentence. Lu Duosun bowed and continued to think. The king and his ministers thought for a long time but couldn't think of a solution.

The seven people returned to the cabinet, and their office was in the Hanlin Academy. They were discussing the matter along the way, but they happened to be heard by Song Qi.
