At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"How is this possible?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "No matter what you want to do, the first and most important thing is your body. If you are not healthy, you have nothing. I have fought in the world for 20 years, and I have been emperor for 13 years. I have no credit for the world and I have a little hard work.

Even if I work hard, I will not forget to eat more and sleep more. It is not necessary to sleep at night. After lunch, after a short rest, I can take a nap. It doesn't take too long. Two sticks of incense, three sticks of incense are enough. In this way, you will be full of energy in the afternoon and will not feel drowsy.

In addition, it is necessary to eat more food. Xian Yuqing does so many things every day, but he doesn't eat much.There are not many people in our country of Wei who are as good at horse politics as Xian Yuqing, and the new emperor needs to rely on Xian Yuqing a lot. "

Guo Peng patted the back of Xian Yuyin's hand: "Xian Yuqing, don't take yourself lightly."

After listening to Guo Peng's words, Xian Yuyin's nose felt sore, feeling that all the things he had thought, thought and worried about for many years had been thoroughly explained by Guo Peng.

So he apologized to Guo Peng with red eyes.

"The old minister knew he was wrong, and the old minister dare not do this again."

"now it's right."

Guo Peng smiled and nodded: "Move more, look at me, I am also in my 50s, my body is still very good, I can eat and drink, and I can eat steaks, I don't like meat, if I am in good health, I can't stop eating meat, don't always eat meat." It is to stare at the root of the vegetable and eat more meat."

"The old minister obeys the order."

Xian Yu Yin could not bear the smile on his face.

Chapter 1520 One thousand 460 So how can the emperor be lenient?

It was already afternoon when Guo Peng arrived at the military horse farm.

At the military horse farm, he followed Xian Yuyin to visit a lot of places, inspected a lot of places, saw the place specially for war horses to mate, watched some professional facilities, and the horses of the gods, he was quite satisfied.

In the evening, Guo Peng had dinner with the officials and employees of the military horse farm. To entertain Guo Peng, the military horse farm made a lot of meat dishes, including mutton, chicken, duck, and a lot of horse meat.

It is also possible for these people to raise horses and eat horses at the same time.

This is said to be nothing uncommon either.

There are often some selected unqualified horses that cannot be used as war horses, or horses that are injured and lame. Most of them are transported to the people, and a small part is left here for internal digestion.

It's kind of an internal benefit.

There is no way, not everyone can afford to eat meat, and not everyone can often eat meat. How can you refuse the opportunity to eat meat?

Horse meat is fresh and tender, has less fat, and has a unique umami taste. It can be boiled in soup, roasted, or fried in a large pot.

Guo Chengzhi has never eaten horse meat, this is the first time he has eaten it, he thinks it tastes good, and he can't stop eating it.

Guo Peng also felt hungry. He ate a lot of meat and was very full.

After eating, he fell asleep in the collective dormitory of the military horse farm at night. Xian Yuyin wanted to give up his residence to Guo Peng, but Guo Peng refused and took Guo Chengzhi to live in an ordinary dormitory.

In this room where only grandparents and grandchildren get along, Guo Peng can talk to Guo Chengzhi about many things.

For example, the method of controlling.

In the face of subordinates with different personalities and different pursuits, how to control and use them.

"Controlling subordinates is a very important skill. Whether you can master subordinates proficiently is an important criterion for an emperor's excellence. It is very important to understand the courtiers, know what they want, and do corresponding things.

For Mao Jie, his desire is to return to Luoyang and become an official in Luoyang. He has been an official in Luoyang for too long, so he urgently wants to be an official in Luoyang. To control him, he must give him the hope of returning to Luoyang. By the way, beat him, tell him not to do anything just to get back to Luoyang.

For Xian Yuyin, his desire is safety. His elder brother Xian Yufu was expelled from office because of a crime, and the Xian Yu family is supported by him alone. He absolutely dare not do wrong things, for fear of being impeached and losing power position, let Xianyu's damage.

So to control him, you have to appease him, give him a guarantee that you will not take him down because of some trivial things, remove him from his position, and give him a sense of security. When he has a sense of security, he will feel grateful and work harder work..."

After lighting a lamp, Guo Peng quietly imparted his life experience to Guo Chengzhi, just like he imparted the corresponding life experience to Guo Jin many years ago.

It's just that at that time, Guo Peng was in full swing, and most of the things he taught Guo Jin were means, methods of doing things, and tricks.

After years of precipitation, after many years of ruling and abdicating, Guo Peng has developed many new ideas for governing the country and dealing with his courtiers.

It was too late to teach these ideas to Guo Jin. His head was full of the "skills" taught to him by Guo Peng. With the skills, he was enough to be a qualified emperor.

But if you want to be an excellent emperor, an emperor who can be called "one emperor through the ages", it is not enough to master "skills" and skillfully control the officials.

He must have his own "Tao", the "Tao" realized through the long-term use of "skills".

Art is important, Tao is even more important.

But not everyone can realize their own way.

After listening to Guo Peng's narration, Guo Chengzhi was thoughtful, and then asked his own question.

"Father, it's very easy to know a person's appearance. You just need to look at it with your eyes, but the human heart is hidden in the body. How can you see it? If you can't see the human heart, how can you understand theirs?" What do you want?"

Guo Peng was quite satisfied that Guo Chengzhi could raise this question.

"This is the most unsolvable question. If everyone can easily see what the other is thinking, Cheng Zhi, do you think there will still be failed emperors in this world?"

"The emperor failed because they didn't understand people's hearts?"

"There may be a reason for this, but more, it should be because you don't understand the general trend of the world?"

"The general trend of the world? People can't understand it, so how can they understand the general trend of the world?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Guo Peng laughed and rubbed Guo Chengzhi's head: "Well said, well said, a person's heart can't understand, how can he see the general trend of the world? So, Chengzhi, you have to remember, look Never listen to what a man says, but what he does."

Guo Peng pointed at Guo Chengzhi's mouth: "The mouth is the most deceptive, the eyes are also deceptive, and the least deceptive is what they are going to do. From the things they do , you can see what they really need."

"Then how do you know what they're doing?"

"Linzi Camp."

Guo Peng grinned: "This is the importance of Linzi Camp. If you don't have clairvoyance, how do you know who is doing what? You need someone to help you see, someone to be your eyes, someone to be around them. When your eyes are watching, you know what to do."

"I see."

Guo Chengzhi felt that he had caught important information.

A pair of eyes is not enough, you need more eyes to help you see, and then you can get more effective information.

On top of this, summed up the way to deal with the courtiers.

Early the next morning, Guo Peng, Guo Chengzhi, and Xian Yuyin went to inspect the military horse training office together.

From the time a horse grows into a qualified physique, to when it becomes a qualified war horse and is sent to the army, it takes a long period of training.

Professional horse trainers should become the main force at this time, training horses to obey the orders of the knights on their backs to charge forward, polish off wildness, and overcome some natural fears.

This is a relatively long process that requires a lot of people and auxiliary training facilities, and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to train a horse with qualified physical fitness into a qualified war horse.

Among them, the input of a large number of horse training professionals and the input of a large amount of materials are the key points, and sometimes even excellent cavalry in the army are needed to help.

Qualified war horses are not so easy to obtain, so the price is extremely expensive, and it is extremely difficult to replace once lost.

Without the three artifacts of cavalry, especially the existence of horseshoes, Guo Peng would never be able to afford to march with all mules and horses.

Without horseshoes, [-] horses were invested in a big battle, and at least [-]% of the horses would be lost after the war.

The war horses that had been raised and trained through hard work were lost in a single charge, and they were so bloody that they didn’t even know their mother. The input-output ratio of the Han Empire’s establishment of cavalry troops was unimaginably low.

That's why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pushed the country's finances to the brink of collapse, so he had to use various methods to collect money from the people, and used up the accumulation of decades of Wenjing rule. The economy of the Han Empire was on the verge of collapse.

The money-raising methods of many dynasties in later generations started from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He created many amazing money-raising methods for later emperors.

When it comes to making money, he claims to be second, and no one dares to be number one. If Emperor Chongzhen had one-tenth... no, one-twentieth of his ability, he wouldn't be hanged on the old crooked neck tree.

Whether Dorgon can enter the customs is really unknown.

So how can the emperor be lenient?

And even in that era, if there was a small horseshoe that could extend the service life of the horse more or less, with the ability of Emperor Wu of the Han to make money, the Han army might not be able to completely destroy the Huns Empire, and the Han Empire would not be able to achieve domestic registration. the point of halving.

The Han Empire might be able to take it to a higher level. In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it completely solved the problem of the Huns and made a greater empire.

With the three artifacts of cavalry, Guo Peng can safely use horses in all aspects of society and build the Wei Empire into a country on horseback without causing excessive costs.

As for horse training, with the help of saddles and stirrups, horse trainers are much more relaxed, and can train more excellent war horses in a shorter time, reducing the country's development costs in all aspects.

The input-output ratio has been greatly improved and improved.

Seeing many horse trainers riding on horses to train horses, or standing on the ground to communicate with horses, Guo Peng was extremely satisfied with the enthusiastic atmosphere.

Then suddenly, Guo Peng frowned, and pointed out——

"What's the matter? That boy is also a horse trainer?"

Everyone looked in the direction of Guo Peng's finger.

Then I saw a young man who was not tall riding majestically on an apparently disobedient steed, shouting various slogans, trying his best to make the steed obey his orders.

Even with the assistance of the three artifacts, this boy's body is not strong enough. Riding on a tall horse, which is still untamed, is too dangerous.

Guo Peng felt dissatisfied.

Xian Yuyin looked over and immediately explained.

"The Supreme Emperor, that boy is really a horse trainer."

"what?"

Guo Peng was stunned, and asked: "Is there such a young horse trainer? He is not as tall as that horse when he stands up?"

"But he is really a very good young man with great horse training skills. Everyone here knows him. To be precise, he is not an official horse trainer. He will only come to help if he has time."

Xian Yuyin smiled: "That young man is the son of Jiang Jiong, the meritorious officer of Longxi County. He is a student of the county school. When the school has holidays, he will come to help train the horses. Everyone here knows him."

"The son of the county meritorious Cao?"

Guo Peng glanced over and saw the young man looking radiant under the sun.

Chapter 1521 One Thousand 460 Ones That was a day that Jiang Wei would never forget

Hearing Guo Peng's meaning seemed a little dissatisfied, Xian Yuyin was worried that Guo Peng thought he was using his power for personal gain, so he quickly explained.

"My lord, this boy's horse training skills are really good, and Jiang Gongcao himself doesn't want this boy to come here, but he is really good at training horses. There are some weird-tempered horses here, and other horse trainers can take care of them." No, but he can do it."

"Is that so?"

Guo Peng was silent for a while, then said, "Let him come over, I want to see him."

"According to the order."

Xian Yuyin took the order, and then personally stepped forward and called the boy over.

The young man followed Xian Yuyin to Guo Peng, looked at the tall and stern Guo Peng for a while, then lowered his head not daring to look any further, and saluted a little cautiously.

"Students pay homage to the Supreme Emperor."

The boy came over, and Guo Peng looked him up close, and found that the boy was about the same age as Guo Chengzhi, with big piercing eyes, a handsome appearance, and a well-proportioned figure.

At this age, it can't be considered short, but rather strong.

"Are you the son of Gongcao of Longxi County?"

"Yes."

"Who is the last name? How old is it? Where is it from?"

"The student's surname is Jiang, first name is Wei, he is fourteen years old, and he is from Ji County, Hanyang County."

The young Jiang Wei replied cautiously.

Jiang Wei?

Guo Peng frowned, a little surprised, and then returned to normal.

Thinking of some dusty past, Guo Peng raised the corners of his mouth.

These stories are really interesting.

"In the old days, there were four surnames Jiang, Yan, Ren, and Zhao in Hanyang County. The Jiang surname was the head, and it was very powerful. It was considered prestigious in the entire Liangzhou. During the Xingping period of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaoxian died, and he was alone to avenge Emperor Xiaoxian. , Soldiers marched into Kansai to fight against rebels in Liangzhou.

At that time, Han Sui and Ma Teng gathered Liangzhou tyrants and Gu as enemies. Yan, Ren, and Zhao clans all followed Han Sui and Ma Teng to fight against Gu. Only the Jiang family refused to follow, and Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, was angry. , sent troops to crusade against the Jiang family, your father Jiang Jiong was a weak crown at that time, he defended Ji County and did not surrender, Ma Chao failed, and his food was exhausted and he retreated.

I defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng in Guanzhong alone, and killed them. The Yiqi clan sent troops out of Liangzhou to occupy the five counties of Beidi, Anding, Hanyang, Longxi, and Wudu. The local tyrants revolted against the lonely army, and were defeated by the lonely general Cao Ren, and all of them were wiped out.
