Lu Han snorted softly: "He is a smart man, you don't want to part with him!"

"Hey, smart people are everywhere..."

"But there are not many smart people like him! There is only one smart person who can concentrate on solving problems with money!"

The smile on Guo Ning's face gradually disappeared, and he sighed: "Ahan, you can see it. This man is full of money, it's hard to get."

Guo Ning fell into deep thought, Lu Han took his hand and told him to step back and sit on the couch.There was a standing felt blanket in one corner of the couch, and Lu Han spread it out, spreading half on Guo Ning's legs and half on his own, and leaning on Guo Ning's shoulder, he looked up at Guo Ning's rough and dark skin. face.

When she was a child, she often saw Guo Ning angry, even when she was a teenager; now that she is 20 years old, Guo Ning beside her has changed from a playmate to a husband.Guo Ning still has the stubborn and fierce temperament, but there are many differences. For example, he spends more and more time thinking, and his temper is getting deeper and deeper.

Lu Han has always been by Guo Ning's side, but he doesn't understand where Guo Ning's changes came from.But there is one thing she always firmly believes, that is, Guo Ning's thoughts and actions are all to take care of the people around him, and even carry them forward.It's just that as his status gets higher and his power grows, more and more people he wants to take care of.

The two sat quietly like this. Lu Han was tired of taking care of the child and snored slightly, but Guo Ning was still thinking.

Guo Ning was furious when the head of the navy made a disturbance earlier, so he ordered Jia She, who was in charge of the matter, to be arrested. It is necessary to find out the person behind the order and instigate it, and take revenge.

The people who gave the order were Ying Chunzhi from Chuzhou and Li Jue from Yangzhou, and Li Yun was the one to deal with it.As long as they can return to Lin'an with a sigh of relief, Li Yun's job as the left and right secretary is tantamount to nothing.

After Jia She came to Zhongdu, Guo Ning discovered that Jia She himself was Li Yun's biggest gain from this trip.

He originally thought that Jia She was a man with outstanding ability and greedy for money.In the eyes of northerners, most of the officials in the Southern Dynasties were like this.

But in fact, this person is really not the usual corrupt official who only knows how to seek personal gain.

Everything he thinks and even does is inseparable from money, because he really feels that money is the key to influence military affairs and politics, and money can be used to solve all problems.Even between the Song and Jin Dynasties, if the trade is smooth, everyone will make money, and there will be less possibility of conflict.

Previously, he worked in Gaoyou, Xuyi and other places, and he was very keen on instigating border trade, connecting all kinds of merchants on the surface and secretly.In Baoying County, they are busy switching and leading the way for people coming and going on the Canal Commercial Road every day.In the process, he seemed to earn a lot of money, but in fact it was just a side benefit.

His idea, even after arriving in Tianjin Mansion, seeing Guo Ning enthusiastically training naval officers, still did not change. Instead, he plucked up his courage and prepared to use money to solve the problem.

It is well known in the world that Guo Ning is rough and fierce, a reckless hero who came to power by force, but Jia She talked about his business experience of mining and minting coins in front of Guo Ning, and wanted to rely on the secret transaction of 60 copper coins to form a certain relationship between the two countries. A tacit understanding.

This is not some kind of rhetoric... Guo Ning has repeatedly confirmed that Jia She is serious.

It would be impossible for anyone to say this to Guo Ning.Because this kind of approach, in front of a regime with obvious booming momentum and tyrannical force, is like buying, and the price of buying seems not high. It is very likely that they will be dragged out and slaughtered by the furious Guo Ning as soon as they open their mouths.

Fortunately, although Guo Ning was born in a reckless family, his thinking did not stop at the reckless level.

Since he started his army, he has always relied on the two-level system of military households and private households in terms of military and local management.This kind of system will create a large number of grassroots military aristocrats, like the sons of good families in the Han Dynasty and the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty; The household system also has something in common.

If the memory fragments in Guo Ning's mind are correct, the great unified dynasties that followed the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was the Ming Dynasty, and there was the Qing Dynasty, and their routines of building military power remained the same.

This kind of grassroots military aristocrats can guarantee the necessary equipment and training level based on their own economic conditions alone, and can also guarantee the lower limit of the army's combat effectiveness for a considerable period of time.

Soldiers directly control a considerable amount of land output, and exclude the exploitation and suppression of the bureaucratic system.Perseverance because of constant property guarantees the economic and political status of the soldiers, which is equivalent to guaranteeing their will to fight.

When Guo Ning gathered hundreds of soldiers in Hebei, he made a promise to his subordinates based on this, and made a plan to occupy Shandong, gradually distribute the land, and set up military households. That's why Yelu Chucai fell in love with Guo Ning at first sight. Thinking that the hills and valleys in Guo Ning's chest are like a gift from heaven, and follow from then on.

This kind of system is indeed the only way to conquer the world since the past dynasties, and it is also a dragon-slaying technique that only extraordinary people can understand and implement.

When the Great Jin Kingdom was decaying and the Mongolian army had just stepped out of the grassland and had not yet reached a very high level, such an army, coupled with a sufficiently brave backbone, was enough to run rampant in the world.

Guo Ning has calculated that since the Mongolian army has already moved westward, it happens to be the window period for his own aggressive expansion.With the 10,000+ troops at hand, they pushed half of Dajin's country in one breath, and then drank the Yangtze River and won the Song Dynasty.Finally, turn around and continue to deal with Mongolia in the north, and at most take along a Xia country in the west.

It is quite possible.The more experienced warriors are, the more they can understand what a well-trained army of 10,000+ represents. The contemporary Jin army or Song army can only be regarded as organized armed peasants in front of them. It is not particularly difficult to win more with less.

According to historical records, the Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty commanded the troops of the Later Zhou Dynasty in the capacity of inspector in front of the palace to fight against Daliao in the north.After this gentleman added the yellow robe, he also followed the practice of going south and then going north.

Guo Ning felt that since he was still young, he would be energetic enough to turn north after he settled the world.It's not like changing an incompetent emperor to come to power like in the Southern Dynasties, and he will only race cars on the Gaoliang River.

Four years ago, when he woke up from the cold water in Tangluo, Hebei, he was determined to curb the rising momentum of the Mongolian Yuan and rebuild the order of the Han family.Today, his confidence in achieving this goal is getting stronger and stronger. To some extent, he has already achieved half of it.

Next, as long as you follow the steps and defeat the enemies that must be defeated, you will be able to establish a new unified dynasty, a centralized, stable, and restrained dynasty.

This is what Yelu Chucai or Xu Ding and the others hope to see, and the prosperity they can imagine is nothing more than this.This nascent dynasty relied on scholars who had no mathematics but excellent officials, countless nobles who occupied land and resources, and ruled countless farmers who worked hard, continued according to its own laws, and then decayed and declined.

Then, a new dynasty was established.

For thousands of years, powerful dynasties have risen like this, and after thousands of years, dynasties are still rising like this, and the routines of success and failure are the same.

They rose and fell; their armies started strong, then decayed and were destroyed; their rise and fall seemed to be just a cycle over and over again.For thousands of years, this land has been a leader in the world in terms of dense population, developed economy, and prosperous culture.But they go through so many repetitions that they actually waste a lot of time.

What is the reason for this, Guo Ning doesn't think he has the vision to understand.

However, since we have achieved this level, can we do more and try to see if there is another way?

Previously, Guo Ning repeatedly advocated the idea of ​​"accumulating grain widely and building walls high".

The strength of the Ding Navy lies in the stability of its basic market and the support of huge benefits obtained through trade.Then, from the standpoint of Dinghai, what is needed now is to operate patiently, so as to continuously expand the benefits brought by the new regime to the soldiers and civilians under the rule, so as to make the areas under its control continue to be stable and prosperous.

This situation lasted for three to five years. With the continuous growth of maritime commerce, industry and commerce throughout the north will gradually recover.Using this to attract many upstarts in the Ding Navy will enable them to accumulate wealth faster and more than simple agricultural operations.Perhaps, this will give birth to some kind of new basic disk, which will make Guo Ning's regime different from many old dynasties?

As for the unification itself, just sit back and wait for the fruit to come to fruition.In this process, financial resources and force are both tools, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.The so-called financial resources include all kinds of materials needed by the military, not just copper coins.

Guo Ning made up his mind.

He carefully lifted the felt blanket, slowly opened the door and walked out.

Ni Yi was chatting in low voice with several companions at the gate of the courtyard, when he saw Guo Ning coming out, he immediately saluted respectfully.

"Go and call Jia She."

"Yes."

Jia She arrived in no time.He was probably talking too excitedly, obviously he didn't sleep, and he didn't change his clothes, so that his robes were wrinkled as he rolled around on the bed, which was particularly conspicuous under the late night lights.

"Greetings to Duke Zhou." Jia She saluted.

I've thought about it. The suggestion you just made is very good. It would be a pity if you only regard it as a two-year bribe. "

Guo Ning asked with a smile: "Besides, how can you guarantee that you can convince Shi Miyuan? If you went to Lin'an for nothing, wouldn't my 60 guan fly away out of thin air? That would be very painful. "

Jia She replied softly: "Shi Xiang seeks stability in government affairs, and he has a plan for rainy days. My suggestion can best guarantee the stability of the court; and if Shi Xiang changes course, there will be useful people and money at hand. Therefore, It won’t be impossible, Duke Zhou can rest assured.”

"I really can't let go, so I just thought of a way."

"This..." Jia She asked: "What method? Zhou Guogong, the situation between the north and the south is basically stable now, no matter what method we use, we don't want to..."

Guo Ning didn't listen to his words at all, instead he took out a thin volume from the sleeve of his robe and threw it into Jia She's arms.

"Such things, after you arrive in Lin'an, show it to Shi Miyuan. Just say, I assist the Emperor Dajin in Central Capital, and I spend gold and silver every day; if Shi Xianggong is regent in Lin'an, there are also places to spend money. In this way, I don’t take his 60 guan every year for nothing. They might as well be counted as share capital and run together. If Shi Xiangruo is interested, he can privately arrange capable people to come to Tianjin Mansion to have an interview with me, or I can send someone there. No."

Jia She opened the booklet and took a look, then raised his head sharply: "Is this a firm? A firm of such a large scale?"
