At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Jun stood up and walked a few steps in her barracks.

"Dealing with such a country may seem difficult, but it is not that difficult in fact. It is just that we are short of population and cannot take risks. I want you to do this, increase the possibility of success, and use our advantages to attract them. Stand with us on the ground.”

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work just like that? These people are very shrewd people. If we don't give them some sweets, can we make them stand with us to deal with King Zhuyan?"

"Then give them some benefits, help them introduce the route to Wei State, help them do maritime trade with Wei State, and use my skills."

Guo Jun nodded: "Let them see with their own eyes how powerful I am, Wei Zhi, and what kind of existence I am, so that they can wear down their will to resist."

Wang Haibo thought about it, and felt that it seemed quite meaningful to do so.

"My subordinates understand that the young master wants to swallow the Zhunian Kingdom, but thinks that it is very difficult to swallow the Zhuren Kingdom with more than 1 people, so we have to buy some dignitaries in the Zhuren Kingdom to make them love us .”

"Yep."

Guo Jun said with a smile: "Presumably, my elder brother won't mind me pretending to be a tiger."

Wang Haibo was stunned for a moment, realized what Guo Jun was talking about, and hurriedly said seriously: "Your Majesty and the son are brothers, so of course I don't mind."

"is it?"

Guo Jun smiled noncommittally: "I don't know what my brother is doing now, do you know that I am in a state of desperation to annex the Zhuan Kingdom? Well, well, yes, Hai Bo, I have already sent someone to take the initiative to contact Zheluo Kingdom is here, pay attention to your side."

"...Yes, this subordinate understands."

Wang Haibo knew what Guo Jun was talking about.

After that, he left and went back to where he needed to fight.

Guo Jun stayed in the barracks to handle some military affairs, and then went to inspect the progress of Wanghai City, the first city she built on this exotic land, accompanied by her subordinates.

He was still envious of Guo Jin, envious of his elder brother who could inherit that huge property and become the master of an unprecedentedly powerful empire without doing anything.

It is not necessary to start from scratch, but to be the master of a huge empire from the very beginning, how happy it is to turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain?

What is he doing at this moment?

While inspecting the construction site, Guo Jun was imagining far away.

Of course, he couldn't know that at this moment, his elder brother, Guo Jin, the second emperor of the Wei Empire, was worrying about the fact that the abdicated Supreme Emperor Guo Peng was about to go on a tour of the world.

Chapter 1504 One Thousand 440 Four Guo Jin Can Provide Some Additional Paid Value-Added Services

It is not the first time that Guo Peng has brought up the matter of going on tour with Guo Jin.

When Guo Jin came to the throne, Guo Peng told him that he would leave Luoyang many times in the future and go to many places, all of which he wanted to go but could not go when he was emperor.

Whether the emperor has been to certain places is of great significance to the empire's rule over these places.

He decided to use the rest of his life to do things that were not easy for the emperor to do.

And this time, he will take away the queen Cao Lan and the concubines, which is equivalent to traveling while doing business.

So that Guo Jin didn't even know whether Guo Peng did this for business or private.

Whether it is to go to the place to investigate economic, military, and educational issues, or to travel all the way to make up for the regrets of youth, or both.

Guo Peng's answer was very straightforward.

"All right."

Guo Peng replied to Guo Jin very straightforwardly: "When my father was young, the world was chaotic, separatist regimes, wars, and the world was broken. Where can there be a pure land on earth? Now it is different, the world is stable, and the beautiful places should have become harmonious. Just as beautiful as it was 40 years ago.

Moreover, when my father was young, he was busy with wars and state affairs, so he couldn't accompany your mother well. Now that you are the emperor, my father just wants to use the remaining time to make up for your mother and take her out for a walk. Will you not even meet this requirement as a father? "

"This……"

Guo Jin was full of depression: "Father, my son will not say much about this kind of thing, but your identity... If you go on a tour of the world, how can the officials of the world not panic and spend a lot of trouble?

The son is afraid that those officials will do something to disturb the people and obstruct the production. Didn't such things happen when the father was on tour before?In order to please his father, those officials did a lot of wrong things. "

Guo Peng chuckled.

"You issue an imperial decree, whoever dares to do something that disturbs the people, just to welcome the father, do some good-looking things, and delay the production, then he should stop being an official, go home and farm, can't Because of this kind of thing, I will not go on tour.”

"........."

Guo Jin swallowed, and had nothing else to say.

His father was always so sharp and straightforward, and he really wanted to be like this.

Although it can't be stopped, and it shouldn't be stopped, Guo Peng is the Supreme Emperor after all, and he is still the god of the sea in this country. Even if he himself said that everything should be kept simple, can he really be kept simple?

Guo Jin convened important ministers to discuss the arrangement of Guo Peng's tour, and finally decided to let Xu Chu and Dian Wei, veterans who had guarded Guo Peng for more than 20 years, lead half of the forbidden army, that is, [-] elite forbidden troops to protect Guo Peng, and follow him all the way to patrol the world until he is willing. until return.

Guo Peng was very unhappy when he learned about it.

He asked to reduce the number of people from 500 to 500, saying that he didn't need to bring too many people with him on the tour, otherwise the amount of food provided by the counties along the way would be too much, and he didn't need to spend so much.

In any case, Guo Jin would not allow so few people to accompany Guo Peng on tour. He felt that this was too dangerous, so he bargained with him, and finally decided on a plan for a thousand guards to accompany him.

Veteran generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei had to accompany them and could not leave even a single step.

"When my father was on the battlefield, you were still studying in school. Do you think that my father is 50 years old and can't fight anymore? My father has been exercising all the time. Now it is not difficult to mount a horse and charge! What are you worried about? "

Guo Peng is still not happy.

Guo Jin consoled with a bitter face.

"Father, although you have abdicated, you are still the pillar of the Wei Kingdom. You can't be troubled. 1000 people are the minimum amount. If you don't agree, I can only arrange for you to be armed with all the militias in the counties and counties along the way. Keeping you safe anytime, anywhere."

Guo Peng sighed.

"I also have the idea of ​​making a surprise visit when I go out. I just don't want people to know where I went and where I'm going at the next stop. This is a kind of sudden test, and it's more meaningful than prior notification. Do you understand?"

"Does father still want to punish officials?"

"When you see incompetent officials, of course you have to deal with them."

Guo Peng nodded: "By the way, you write a warrant to your father and stamp it with the national seal, saying that you allow father to punish officials without reporting it."

"what?"

"Ah, what? You are the emperor, so you can deal with officials. As a father, you can't deal with officials without your permission."

Guo Peng stared round his eyes, very angry.

Guo Jin suddenly felt a feeling of happiness or sadness.

But he has a sense of respect, which comes from his father.

He didn't know what to say better.

Guo Peng chose to leave Luoyang after the whole army contest and start his own national inspection.

Before that, he will attend the military contest to stand for Guo Jin.

It was at this stall that Guo Jun's letter was sent back to Luoyang along with the return ship, and was delivered directly to Guo Jin. Guo Jin opened it up and read it. After thinking for a while, he forwarded the letter to Guo Jin. Peng.

"What? Isn't this a good thing?"

After reading the letter, Guo Peng put it down: "Our military production is indeed very fast. In order to have more sophisticated weapons, we need more experiments and produce more.

With so many weapons, there is no big war now, and the army has no time to use them. The arsenal is full of them, and they have to be prevented from rusting. The annual maintenance is also a big expense. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to sell them? "

"A good thing is a good thing, and my son is willing to cooperate with Ah Jun to sell these accumulated weapons, but the things mentioned in this letter really did not occur to my son."

"You mean, those countries with millions of people?"

"Yes."

Guo Jin nodded: "My son thought that the world is so big, except for Wei, Guishuang, Anxi, and Loumo, there are no other countries worth noting, and it turns out that they are in the land of poison. There are at least two countries with a population of one million.

So the world is so big, how many countries like this are there in more places we don't know?They can't come, and it's hard for us to go there, but one day, the boat will become faster and stronger, and it will be very fast for us or them to come over, won't there be a war? "

Guo Peng smiled.

"Are you worried that there are bigger countries in places you don't know, and when the transportation develops in the future, they will come to trouble us along the sea?"

"Isn't father worried?"

"Was it useful to worry about?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "It's useless to worry, and there's no need to worry. One, you don't know when the ship will reach that point. Two, it's you who discovered them now, not them. Is it more powerful than the discoverer?"

What Guo Peng said made Guo Jin understand.

"What my father said... is indeed reasonable."

"So, as long as you have been sailing and going out all the time, then those you find will not be stronger than you, and you can deal with them."

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder: "Your brothers have to survive outside, they face no fewer problems than you, after a long period of training, they will not be worse than you, look at Ah Jun is already thinking It is about how to make money while inciting the two countries to fight each other for the benefit of the fisherman.

What you took over was the country I gave you, and what they got was built by yourself. You must not feel that you are satisfied with this. They are starting a business outside, and you have to find ways to join in, whether it is paying money or Out of people, you have to join in and use your advantage. "

Guo Jin nodded.

"Father means that I can contribute money and effort, participate in their nation-building actions, and wait for the opportunity to gain benefits?"

"Yes, what do they need, except for what you have to give, you can do business with them, sell the excessive domestic production, and you can feed people and make money. Why not do it? This is no better than yours. Ask them with a straight face, do you want the tribute to come quickly?

You have to know your advantage, you have what your brothers dream of, you provide them with the help they need, and then you can get great benefits from their nation-building war. "

Guo Peng imparted his own wisdom without hesitation.

"indeed so."

Guo Jin agreed with Guo Peng's point of view, and began to think about what kind of posture and model he should use to participate in the country-building process of his brothers and gain benefits from it.

He thought for a while, and then called Su Yuan, the former personal eunuch of Guo Peng who was in charge of the inner court trade, over to him, and had a long discussion with him about related issues.

Then a decision was made to set up an agency of the inner court in the Principality of Xishu.

He wants to participate in Guo Jun's great cause of building a country, and provide him with some paid help—in addition to the previously agreed free help, provide some additional paid value-added services.

He didn't want the court to get involved in some things, so he decided to let the inner court come forward to show that it was a matter between the two of them.

If you have any needs, just tell me, and I will help you deal with them through the channels of the inner court. Anyway, the inner court and the outer court are two economic systems, one has to argue with courtiers, and the other can be decided by himself.

Of course, you have to pay for it.

Not to mention what kind of weapons, supplies, etc., you can ask the army to help you, but you have to pay for the military expenses, not to mention half of the results of our family, at least [-]%, right?

After all, it is also the army we specially sent to help you. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. You are too embarrassed to give nothing, right?

what do you think?

Guo Jin grinned.

You can choose whether to want it or not, but I am sure that you will want it, you will definitely ask me for help, and use my strength to build your country.

Of course, it's not free.

Such a good opportunity, if you invite me, I can't just sit idly by.

The construction and development of the Wei Empire requires a lot of money, no matter how much money there is, I will not think too much.

Chapter 1505 One Thousand 440 The Third Emperor of the Five Wei Empire

At the beginning of October, the whole army contest was officially held.

The generals did not participate in this big competition, but all kinds of people below the middle and lower ranks participated.

The purpose is to create a promotion mechanism in peacetime, which has nothing to do with the generals who have already achieved fame.

The generals turned into judges one after another and joined this grand event as referees.

Then bet with each other on whose subordinates are more ruthless, whose subordinates are more fierce, whose subordinates can get the most honors, and so on.

The main place for holding the martial arts competition of the whole army is in the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall in the northeast area of ​​Luoyang City. There are sufficient venues and equipment for the martial arts competition in the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall.

The soldiers were all excited, as if they had won the victory and the title of honor in their hands.

At the opening ceremony, the Supreme Emperor Guo Peng, who hadn't appeared in public for a long time, reappeared, which caused a burst of surprise and excitement in the army——

Their spiritual leader appeared in front of them again, and they were naturally excited.
