"By the way, sir," Bao BuTong said: "You said earlier that you wanted to build a new army. I wonder if there are any detailed requirements. What equipment needs to be equipped? What supplies should be prepared?"&1t;/p>
Murong Fu pondered for a long time, "I plan to build a cavalry force for the Tianxuan Army."&1t;/p>
Bao BuTong was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly, "Sir, everything else is fine, but if we want to build cavalry, we need a lot of war horses, but the most lacking thing in the Central Plains is war horses. Although there are hoards in Tianxialou, to be honest, they don't count.
What a good horse."&1t;/p>
"Hehe," Murong Fu smiled mysteriously, "You don't have to worry about the war horses. This is also the second thing I want to announce today."&1t;/p>
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at Murong Fu with curious expressions. Huo Qingtong's heart moved and his eyes lit up.&1t;/p>
"I have reached an alliance agreement with the Hui tribe and purchased 100,000 high-quality war horses from them!" Murong Fu said leisurely.&1t;/p>
"One hundred thousand!" Deng Baichuan trembled slightly. He may be the only one here who knows the value of these high-quality war horses. In the Central Plains, even Song Ting would find it difficult to come up with one hundred thousand high-quality war horses.
.&1t;/p>
"Young Master..." Deng Baichuan looked at Murong Fu with burning eyes, his face flushed slightly, "Can some of these 100,000 war horses be allocated to the Tianshu Army?"&1t;/p>
Murong Fu rolled his eyes at him, "That won't work. These 100,000 horses are enough to build a cavalry. If the Tianshu Army wants it, Brother Deng can find a way to do it himself. I also experienced many twists and turns before returning to the army.
Bought."&1t;/p>
Deng Baichuan sighed in disappointment, but immediately seemed to think of something, and looked at Huo Qingtong with hope.&1t;/p>
Murong Fu didn't care what Deng Baichuan was planning, and turned to look at Bao BuTong, "Brother Bao, the money used to buy war horses is not money, but military equipment. You have to prepare it first. Qingtong will naturally tell you the details of the handover.
You will be solely responsible for the transaction."&1t;/p>
"I obey my orders!" Bao BuTong bowed and responded.&1t;/p>
Murong Fu thought for a while and then said to Feng BoE: "This transaction is of great importance and there is no room for negligence. Fourth Brother Feng and Lingxiao Pavilion need to go all out to protect Third Brother Bao."&1t;/p>
"Yes!" Feng Bo evil replied.&1t;/p>
"Sir, now that Yanziwu has become a target of public criticism, does the recruitment and training of new recruits still need to be carried out in secret?" It was Gong Ye who asked Qianhu.&1t;/p>
"Of course it will be done secretly. Now the Murong family has exposed a lot of its strength, but as for the army, it should not be exposed much, but Jiangnan is indeed not a place for military training..." Murong Fu said, frowning slightly, obviously for a moment.
I can't think of any suitable place.&1t;/p>
"Sir, I have something to note!" Tingfeng, who was standing next to Murong Fu's chair, suddenly said.&1t;/p>
"You are so unruly, Ting Feng, you are becoming more and more unruly!" But Lian Xing immediately scolded her.&1t;/p>
Tingfeng was startled, his face turned pale slightly, and he looked at Murong Fu pitifully.&1t;/p>
It turns out that the four Lianxing girls, as Murong Fu's personal sword guards, were usually responsible for transmitting information between Murong Fu and the four major organizations, and they had a lot of power, but in such formal occasions, they had no say.&1t;
/p>
"It's okay," Murong Fu waved his hand, "Tingfeng, what do you pay attention to, but I want to remind you, if you can't come up with any good ideas, hey, I won't care if Lianxing punishes you!"&1t;/p>
Tingfeng's little face shrugged, and he stuck out his tongue, but he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Didn't the young master regain some kind of Shenlong Island? I think the training of new recruits can be carried out on Shenlong Island."&1t;
/p>
Murong Fu's eyes lit up slightly when he came on board, "Yes, yes, Shenlong Island is located overseas and not far from the Central Plains. It is indeed a suitable choice."&1t;/p>
"No," Huo Qingtong opened his lips slightly, "Since we are training cavalry, we must have a spacious and flat place. An island is not suitable, and the water and soil are also a big problem when the horses are transported to the island."&1t;/
p>
Murong Fu's face froze slightly, as if he had been poured cold water on him, but Bao BuTong smiled and said: "No, no."&1t;/p>
"Oh? What can Brother Bao do?" Murong Fu asked.&1t;/p>
Bao BuTong smiled and said: "We don't have to transport it to Shenlong Island. It is said that Yuan Chengzhi's Golden Snake Battalion has occupied Shandong. Tianjin Navy Admiral Li Kexiu was so frightened that he fled north. Aren't we cooperating with the Golden Snake Battalion?
It shouldn’t be difficult to borrow a small piece of land from them!”&1t;/p>
"It's inappropriate to recruit troops on other people's territory, it's inappropriate." Gong Yeqian shook his head and said.&1t;/p>
Murong Fu thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said: "This method is feasible. The recruitment can be carried out in the previous way and transported to Tianjin in batches. Although it may be a little slow in time, it is better to be safe."&1t;/p>
"Sir, speaking of Shenlong Island, I remembered something." A'Zhu, who had always been silent, spoke up.&1t;/p>
Murong Fu looked at A'Zhu with a questioning look in his eyes.&1t;/p>
A'Zhu said: "More than a month ago, a letter was delivered to Ting Xiangxiang Pavilion. Since it didn't say to whom it was addressed, I opened it without permission and found a strange sentence written in it."&1t;/p>
"What are you talking about?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows, what's so strange about a letter.&1t;/p>
A trace of reminiscence flashed in A'Zhu's eyes, and he slowly said: "Do you still know about the top of the Forbidden City? Brother Yu has been in poor health recently. I heard that the Golden Snake is a powerful tonic. I hope you will get your wish."&1t;/p>
"So it's him!" Murong Fu thought for a long time, and then he remembered who wrote the letter. He knew what happened to him at the top of the Forbidden City, and wanted to eat golden snake meat. There was no one else but Kangxi.&1t;/
p>
"Sir, do you know who it is?" A'Zhu asked.&1t;/p>
"Yes, this person is Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty."&1t;/p>
"Then what does his letter mean?"&1t;/p>
"Haha, he really knows how to calculate." Murong Fu sneered, "He wants me to take Yuan Chengzhi's rank."&1t;/p>
"Ah!" A'Zhu exclaimed, and the others also looked surprised. They didn't know how their son could be related to Emperor Kangxi.&1t;/p>
Murong Fu explained slightly: "It's a long story. In short, last time in the Forbidden City, I reached a deal with Kangxi. I did a few things for him, and then he agreed that Datong Bank could operate unimpeded in the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
.”&1t;/p>
"I'm telling you!" Bao BuTong's face was shocked, "In the past few months, the situation of banks in the Qing Dynasty has changed drastically. Officials who previously refused us to open banks have all agreed, and many even fawned over the shopkeepers below.
, It turned out that the young master was behind the scenes, and it’s ridiculous that Bao San thought he was running the business well!”&1t;/p>
"Brother Bao San, there is no need to be discouraged. Over the years, under your management, Tianxialou has become truly the number one chamber of commerce in the world. This is obvious to all." Murong Fu said with a smile.&1t;/p>
Bao BuTong changed his usual playful and smiling style and said quite seriously: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Bao San only contributed a small part, the biggest contribution is still the young master!"&1t;/p>
"Sir, the Golden Snake Camp is stirring up the situation and attracting the attention of all parties. If Yuan Chengzhi is killed, it will be detrimental to the great cause of the Murong family." Deng Baichuan said.&1t;/p>
Although he did not explain clearly why it was disadvantageous, everyone present understood that the Golden Snake Camp now represents justice. If this matter is leaked by the Qing court, the Murong family will definitely be infamous.&1t;/p>
"Yuan Chengzhi cannot be killed." Murong Fu nodded, "But Kangxi has to give an explanation. After all, the bank is still on his territory."&1t;/p>
For a moment, the four ministers frowned. This is indeed a difficult problem. Putting aside reputation, they are still cooperating with the Golden Snake Camp. It is really shameful to stab him in the back. On the other hand, if Kangxi is offended, there is no need to open the bank.
.&1t;/p>
"That's all, let's put this aside for now. Is there any other news?" Murong Fu asked.&1t;/p>
"Young Master!" Abi stepped forward and said, "Half a month ago, Mr. Congbian, a deaf-mute man, sent out an invitation to the young elites in the world to go to Zhenlong Chess Valley to play chess. Young Master was also invited."&1t;/p
>
"Mr. Congbian?" Murong Fu was slightly startled, but when he heard the four words "Zhenlong Chess Valley", he was shocked. He originally planned to go to Zhenlong Chess Valley to find Wu after finishing the affairs of the Murong family.
Yazi, unexpectedly, he happened to catch up with Su Xinghe to choose a disciple for Wuyazi. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the pillow!&1t;/p>
"Sir?" A Bi looked at Murong Fu with a blushing face, "Shall we go?"&1t;/p>
"Go!" Murong Fu came back to his senses, "Why don't you go."&1t;/p>
"Young master, no!" But Deng Baichuan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young master has just come back. Since he has decided to start an uprising, there are still many things that need to be finalized and prepared. It is really not appropriate to leave Murong's house at this time."&1t;/p>
"Brother Deng is right. Although the young master is proficient in martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, at this moment, there is no need to grab those false reputations." Gong Yeqian also advised.&1t;/p>
"A false reputation?" Murong Fu shook his head, "No, this is not a false reputation, and I am not going there to play chess, but to find someone who is related to my life and death."&1t;/p>
"What!" Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian were both shocked, and then looked at Murong Fu carefully, "Why did you say this, Master?"&1t;/p>
"I can't tell you too much about the details," Murong Fu sighed slightly, "Anyway, I have to go to the Deaf-Mute Valley in person this time."&1t;/p>
Deng Baichuan opened his mouth, but finally said nothing more.&1t;/p>
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Murong Fu pondered for a long time and then said: "You are the backbone of the Murong family. You must work together to achieve anything. In the future, we must discuss things more and don't easily cause any conflicts." .”&1t;/p>
"Yes, I will obey the order of the young master." The four ministers responded in unison.&1t;/p>
"Although the Murong family comes from a martial arts family, please don't forget that our goal is to build a country and strive for world hegemony. Therefore, when you deal with things in the future, you should not talk about the morality and rules of the world, but should stand more from the perspective of a ruling official. Think about the problem."&1t;/p>
As soon as Murong Fu said these words, everyone was slightly shaken, especially the four ministers. They had been instilled with the idea of being loyal to the Murong family and reviving the Yan Dynasty since childhood. However, over the years, they often regarded themselves as martial arts people and had long forgotten that The arena is different from the court, and the methods of doing things are naturally different.&1t;/p>
After the four ministers figured out the pros and cons, they couldn't help but bow to Murong Fu, "We are ignorant, please forgive me, Sir." (To be continued)&1t;/p>
