After hearing what Cao Shu said, Guo Jia's face became very bad.

He sighed and said to Cao Shu: "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in the matter of Cao Gong's decision to succeed..."

"But you have already been mixed up." Cao Shuo grinned: "Fengxiao should not do things that make friends feel pain and those who are disgusted will be happy. After all, I have been successful, and it will be beneficial for Fengxiao. When Zihuan has succeeded, he may not be able to survive with his nature."

Guo Jia said: "I saw the young master achieve great things. I married the girl to you for her life. Now I really regret it..."

"I'm born, it's too late to regret it." Cao Shuo smiled humbly and said to Guo Jia: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, I don't want you to do anything, as long as you don't make trouble with me, don't say anything in front of my father, what's the point of just Zihuan?"

"I understand." Guo Jia said: "If there are any movements that are not conducive to the young master in the future, I will immediately repay them."

"One prospers and one is honorable and one is humiliating." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Fengxiao and I have long become offensive and defensive alliances, and it is not possible even if you refuse to admit it."

Guo Jia didn't say anything anymore, just nodded silently.

"My father's order has been issued, and I will return to Shouchun." Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia: "Does Fengxiao want to go to Shouchun with me for a walk?"

"Mr. Cao is still waiting for me to report." Guo Jia said, "I'm going to Shouchun, will it take another delay?"

"That's right." Cao Shu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force myself to invite Fengxiao to accompany you. Zuo Ci and his team recently refined some elixirs. When I return to Shouchun, I will send someone to you."

"Thank you, young master." After hearing that there was another elixir, Guo Jia hurriedly thanked Cao Shuo.

"How is Fengxiao's health recently?" Cao Shu asked: "Have you finished the pill I sent last time?"

"It's almost finished." Guo Jia replied: "Since I took the elixirs from Mr. Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, I have removed all my elixirs."

"Just dismantle it." Cao Shuo said: "Without the recipe of immortal pills, things you can't eat at all. I have immortals there, so I don't need to refine elixirs by myself after I worship the filial pills."

"What the young master said," Guo Jia replied.

"The soldiers are still resting, and it will take at least five or six days to set off." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "These few days Feng Xiaoxian will rest in Yuyang, and then return with the army. Enter the boundary of Yanzhou, and you can go to Yecheng again."

Guo Jia responded, stood up and said to Cao Shu, "I have already passed the words, so I will not delay the young master's handling of important matters."

Cao Shu stood up, bowed to him, and then ordered Deng Zhan: "Send Mr. Guo to rest."

Deng Zhan sent Guo Jia away, and Tian Feng asked Cao Shuo: "Young Master, Cao Gong intends to support the second master. If he really does it, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

"How could I not know there will be trouble?" Cao Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "My father is already afraid of me. I cannot develop too fast on the surface."

"Young Master means..." Tian Feng asked.

"I can fly alone when my wings are hard." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Tian Feng: "It's just that my father is still there, so I have to fly low-key."

"I understand." Tian Feng said: "The young master means that the standing army will not expand, but will secretly cultivate forces in other places."

"Why should the standing army not expand?" Cao Shuo said: "Now I have only 30,000 standing army under my command. I will go on expeditions to other places, and this number of troops is not enough. With me, the standing army must be expanded to at least 100,000."

"Isn't Cao Gong able to..." Tian Feng didn't say anything more.

Cao Shu now has only 30,000 permanent troops under his command, and the other soldiers are military households.

Whenever he had to mobilize a large number of troops on the expedition, he had to mobilize military households.

The military households will definitely have a certain impact on local construction. After all, these people are very important laborers when they arrive at the local area.

"Back in Shouchun, I plan to implement a new policy." Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng: "We recruit soldiers all year round, or incorporate prisoners into the army, so the soldiers we get are always limited. I am planning to change from recruiting to conscripted soldiers. What do you think?"

"Consignor system?" Tian Feng asked: "Young Master means..."

"The meaning is very simple. It is the obligation of every adult man." Cao Shuo said: "When I return to Shouchun, I will announce an order that all people under my rule, no matter the rich or poor, must join the army when they are eighteen years old. After leaving the barracks, these people still have to participate in the training as militias."

"What should we do with the Standing Army?" Tian Feng asked: "Can they retire and return home in two years?"

"Of course not." Cao Shuo said: "The standing army is a professional soldier. In the future, the soldiers of the standing army will be selected from the conscripts. Those who have experience in combat formations and have outstanding performance in battlefields or training can join the standing army. As long as they join the standing army, they will no longer have to work. They only have one task, waiting for war."

"Young Master's arrangement can really make it possible that although there are not many soldiers, everyone can fight." Tian Feng nodded.

"In addition, I also plan to mobilize all women." Cao Shu said: "It is certainly the priority of women in taking care of their husbands and children. But they can also do other things, such as if I want to open a workshop and let women do their work, they can save a lot of strong labor. Also, on the battlefield, if there are women to rescue wounded soldiers, the soldiers' mood should be much better. In addition, not only do we need to appreciate singing and dancing to relieve boredom, but we also have to give the soldiers some opportunities to relieve boredom. I want to set up a singing and dancing camp, which will be specially performed with the army for the soldiers."

Cao Shu's ideas are undoubtedly a pioneer and extremely bold.

Tian Feng opened his mouth slightly in shock, and after a while, he asked Cao Shu: "Honor, have you ever told others about these plans?"

"Not yet." Cao Shu said: "Managing local governments and rectifying the army, many things are gradually being done, and it is impossible to do them all at once. I plan to go back and rectify them well, whether it is military system, civilian system, or local construction. Although the development of various places is very fast now, there are not without disadvantages. Before the problems appear, we will sort them out first, which will save a lot of trouble in the future."

"What the young master said," Tian Feng said: "It's just that women follow the army..."
