Guo Ning stood on the corridor connecting the inner and outer courtyards, listened for a while, and then quickened his pace with confidence.
Passing through the moon gate, he came to the small school ground where he practiced martial arts every day. On the side of the garden next to the small school ground, a new winding stream was opened, bringing in the water from the fish and algae pond. Neither Guo Ning nor Lu Han liked it. Luxurious enjoyment, so the inner courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion has not been expanded much, but he is the emperor after all, and sometimes his casual words will be completed by his subordinates who are eager to flatter him at all costs.
For example, this stream may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, it diverts water along the way, crosses several squares, and has new pavilions and gardens as a foil. It probably requires a lot of labor.
When the creek was being built, Guo Ning happened to be on a patrol and found out when he came back.
Guo Ning's first reaction was to reprimand his flattering subordinates. But then he thought about it, the environment has changed, and his own status has reached such a high level, it is inevitable that the mentality of the people around him will change, and it is not impossible for him to support it financially. To focus on this kind of thing and make big accusations will make the outside world think that the emperor treats those around him harshly, which is too pretentious.
So he turned a blind eye for the time being and said that the Marshal's Mansion mainly played the role of military command and defense stronghold, and not to do any more vain things. After a while, he sent someone to investigate seriously. Check the money expenses in the palace and collect the muscles and bones of your subordinates.
The Marshal's Mansion has this beautiful place, which is indeed quite beneficial. Especially during the hot summer season, he summoned his close subordinates to chat or demonstrate their martial arts here. Everyone felt that the air was fresh and refreshing, and they were relaxed and happy, and they had elegant interests.
In this regard, Lu Han's mentality is much more peaceful than Guo Ning's. She never changes her living habits due to changes in the environment. She continues to live her life in the luxurious and magnificent palace, and stays at the Marshal's Mansion every now and then. Everything is as usual.
At this moment, even though she was under the exquisite pavilion and among the clear streams, the food Lu Han brought out was still the pickles and scones she was used to, and she also had two plates of beef, mixed with sesame oil. Pickling garlic. Her eldest son, Guo Jing, and a few friends of roughly the same age were waving short sticks and beating each other for fun on the beach by the stream.
Guo Jing was young, didn't talk much, and had a cheerful personality. He saw his father coming from across the distance. He immediately threw away his companions, crossed the stream with short legs, and shouted: "Stick!"
"Ah? What stick?"
Guo Ning was stunned. Guo Jing held up a short stick more than two feet long in his hand, thrust it straight in front of Guo Ning's eyes, and said loudly: "Stick!"
It turned out that someone broke off a branch from somewhere and gave it to Guo Jing as a toy. The branch was straight up and down, even in thickness, and the bark was green and green. There was not a single branch or spot on it. It was indeed rare. Excellent product. Guo Ning laughed and went over, took the short stick, danced with flowers, and then handed it back to Guo Jing.
Guo Jing took the stick and swung it twice, then continued with satisfaction: "This stick is good!"
Guo Ning replied casually: "This is a treasure. It must be stored well and not damaged."
Guo Jing looked hesitant and thought for a moment, then said: "I want to use this stick!"
Guo Ning laughed.
The location of the pavilion was a few feet higher than the stream. Beside the railing of the pavilion, Lu Han leaned out and looked down. She couldn't help but laugh. She said to Guo Ning: "In the past, people who couldn't be driven away with sticks can now be beaten." With Bentou...are you happy?"
"Ahan, I can't hide anything from you."
Guo Ning first hugged Guo Jing and placed the child on the beach on the other side of the stream, then walked back and sat in the pavilion.
"This has always been my plan. There are always impurities in the army. These impurities can be removed but cannot be destroyed. Why not find a reason to lure them with huge profits and release them to a foreign land to harm outsiders... This is the first batch, so it counts. We are the pioneers of the king, and there will be more to come!”
"I suddenly felt that Korea was a bit pitiful. You targeted the people and the products, and yet you let a pack of evil wolves go over to cause harm."
"Ahem, I don't mean to focus on the disaster of Korea. I told you that there are tens of millions of fertile lands and countless countries in that foreign land. We have also seen the sea map. What is Korea? It is not even as good as a caterpillar, a drop in the ocean. That’s all. We just sort out the military and political affairs and release the unruly people in batches. Even if they are released for a hundred years, we won’t be able to harm that many places."
As Guo Ning explained, he piled beef and pickled garlic on the pancake and carefully rolled it up.
When he was about to stuff it into his mouth, he added: "Besides, how can it be a disaster? The people released are all decent people from Zhou Dynasty, and they go overseas for business!"
Lu Han spat and turned to look outside. It turned out that Guo Jing was not checking for a moment and was pushed to the ground by his friends. He screamed and struggled hard.
The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the large-scale martial arts group. But the Wuren Group is not a pure white lotus, and it is not naturally the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Guo Ning relied on his prestige of being brave and good at fighting, and distributed a large amount of benefits without hesitation, so that he could gather these hundreds of thousands of murderous and ferocious men in one place and release their terrifying power. But since ancient times, any dynasty will Faced with the same problem, that is, the military or political groups on which the dynasty was established quickly became corrupted. The intricate relationships within them made it impossible for the imperial power to eradicate them.
Not to mention the ancient times, Guo Ning vaguely remembered that in his great dream, even the political group with the purest ideals and the most strict disciplines in later generations still could not avoid this problem. How could the Great Zhou be an exception?
A few years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the spirit of the warrior group was still there, the military power was stronger than before, and the force of force was not diminished at all. However, among those warriors and nobles, there were quite a few signs of corruption. People like Yin Chang, who had their own way of doing things, did not That's all. There are also those who are greedy and considerate of human life. Even if the court's laws impose severe punishments one by one, they still can't take care of them.

Just meeting Jing Anmin in the side hall at this moment, there are several old guys who are doing things behind his back. It's just that they are cunning and cunning, and Guo Ning can't catch them for a while.
Fortunately, this is not a problem that is difficult to solve for Da Zhou.
In ancient times, the only territory of the dynasty was the Central Plains, and profits depended on farming, which was determined every year. The men at the top became greedy, and if they wanted to eat more, the people below had to eat less. No matter how clever the men were in squeezing, it was nothing more than They tormented the farmers in various ways for one-third of an acre of land, until finally a spark of fire set off the prairie fire and everyone was finished.
But at the beginning of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the benefits came from the sea and foreign countries. Because the Song Dynasty, a wealthy nation in the Southern Dynasties, had been operating for hundreds of years, there was indeed a trade network on the sea that reached tens of millions of miles away, and the daily price was like gold and silver. The incoming and outgoing money clearly fell into the eyes of the great Zhou nobles, so that their eyes never left overseas for a long time.
Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, through cooperation with the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, countless warriors have actually traveled on the sea in boats to reap benefits. Even generals at the level of marshal have been ordered to participate.
For example, Shi Tianni, who led dozens of heroes to roam all the ports of the Song Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty and overseas, calling himself Abbaba; and another example, Yin Chang, who clearly got into trouble with the emperor and was dismissed from office, but was looking to take control of the real power of the Goryeo Kingdom. There are also the abominable
It is said that Mr. Li, one of the ministers on the left and right, had a powerful man as his father in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, and he would get a lot of benefits from sitting in Lin'an City.
These people are the best role models, and the accumulation of each role model will eventually drive the choices of many people.
Besides...
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's eyes were too narrow, and his eyes were too tight. Under the emperor, there were many spies affiliated with the Department of Records and Left and Right Departments running around. No matter how beautiful the nobles thought, they could not be satisfied. Overseas, it was
Otherwise, the influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not be tyrannical and bloody.
The difference is so huge that the nobles themselves will figure it out. They themselves will beg the emperor to give them a chance and allow them to go overseas and show their full potential.
For Guo Ning, he just took this opportunity to continuously eliminate impurities. And the impurities released to the outside happened to become the pawns of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"But what does Jing'an people mean when they ask them to make a big noise?" Lu Han asked again.
