Start by traveling through the Widow's Village

Although Tang Jiemin's words were not explicitly said, these generals already understood that their majesty planned to use troops against Beiyou.

Otherwise, there is no need to need 50,000 new stirrups before winter.

The regular strength of the Suzaku Legion is 50,000, of which more than seventy percent are cavalry, and after equipping it with the new stirrups, even if it is the Northern Ghost Wolf Horse, it is not without the power of a battle.

So after understanding this, Wei Ziwu was the first to react and said: "Your Majesty, the wear and tear of the horses of the Suzaku Legion is really serious, especially the aging and injury of Marty, if there are not enough horses by then, even if there are new stirrups, there is no way!" When

Tang Jiemin heard this, after thinking about it, he asked, "How many gaps are there over there?"

"Don't say 10,000 horses, how can you want 5,000 horses!" Wei Ziwu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Five thousand... There are too many, and the Hubu side is estimated to not agree! Tang Jiemin sighed and said, "Let's negotiate this matter tomorrow morning!"

Next, after Tang Jiemin discussed the affairs of the army with the generals, he let them all leave.

Coming out of the palace, these great generals surrounded the Ministry of Works Shangshu.

"Generals, it's not that you don't want to agree, it's just stirrups, if it's usual, it's not a problem to send ten pairs to each family of the generals, but now you have also heard, Your Majesty wants 50,000 pairs, before winter, we don't know if the task on Your Majesty's side can be completed, or like this... You go and ask Your Majesty, let Your Majesty allow you to draw a drawing and go back, there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in your home, just do it yourself, how? Duan An arched his hand towards the generals and said with a helpless expression.

Everyone's faces were also a little embarrassed, after all, now the Ministry of Works itself is not sure whether it can be completed, they are blocking here to find people to ask for things, it is indeed a little inappropriate.

As for going to His Majesty to print a drawing, they did not have the courage, because if they did so, the meaning would be different.

"Lord Duan, I'm sorry, we're also too anxious, and we didn't mean to force Lord Duan, and I still have an idea here to help you, isn't the craftsmanship order of the North Gate Pass involved in the production?" Your Ministry of Engineering is their top boss, and wouldn't a paper order to let the master craftsman who participated in the production return to Beijing? Wei Ziwu said with an apologetic look.

After all, the other party is Shangshu of the Ministry of Work, and they can't do too much.

As for the so-called good idea, it was just what he had just come up with.

However, Duan An's eyes lit up, and he bowed his hand towards Wei Ziwu and said, "Thank you General Wei for reminding me to go back and write the dispatch order in the next step!" After

saying that, he immediately ran away without looking back, for fear that these generals would look for him again.

After Duan An left, Wei Ziwu put away his smile and said: "Everyone, listening to Your Majesty's meaning today, I plan to use troops against Beiyu, no matter which brother catches this matter, the Suzaku Corps is an indispensable member, although I have led the general of the Suzaku Legion from afar, but in fact, it is not under my control in wartime!"

"So tomorrow morning, whether you can take out the meat from the mouth of the household depends on their own skills!" Otherwise, the number of horses is not enough, even with a new stirrup, I am afraid it is also very difficult! This matter is related to the vein of our military, and please help tomorrow! Wei

Ziwu's words made everyone nod, including Mo Wentian, although he has no actual position now, he is also a martial artist of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he belongs to the military lineage.

On weekdays, everyone has some small friction with each other, that is all small meaning, as long as it does not shake the family fundamentals, they don't care.

But whoever wants to drag his feet at this time will be ostracized by the military.

"Although His Majesty asked the Ministry of Works to prepare the new stirrups before the winter, it is not suitable for marching in winter, so I estimate that it will not really start until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, and this winter is the time for the cavalry to adapt to the stirrups!" Trading horses there will also become more difficult after winter, so it is best to settle this matter before winter! Mo Wentian nodded and said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, the situation in the household is not clear to you, if you want to take food from Du Yunbao's old Pixiu's mouth, it is difficult ~ difficult ~ difficult!" Shangshu Li Guangxing shook his head and said.

He is also one of the six Shang Shu, strictly speaking, he is not a military lineage, but everything related to the war is related to him, so he is not an outsider in this matter.

"I have a way!" At this time, Mo Wentian suddenly opened his mouth and said: "If there is really a war next year, my son will be in Dexian, I am afraid that I will not miss this opportunity, no matter which old brother receives this errand, please take more care of one or two!"

Mo Wentian did not say his own method first, but made a request.

"Old man Mo, don't talk nonsense, even if you don't say it, can we still let your only son be a pioneer? It is a dangerous thing to give him an errand to transport grain! Peng Dehan waved his hand and said with an impatient expression: "You see that he has been closed at the North Gate for so long, Chen Yong, that turtle nature, when did he let him out of the customs?" Either they train troops in the pass, or they patrol in the pass, and they haven't even caught a single errand for suppressing bandits! Just wait for the expiration of the three-year period, let him obediently go home and give birth!

Everyone also nodded one after another, agreeing to Mo Wentian's request.

When Mo Wentian heard this, he smiled slightly, he is not a layman in this kind of thing of war, who cares who you are really fighting? Really at a critical moment, the order of the big general will be filled in, not to mention you a junior?

"Have you forgotten the refined salt?" After getting everyone's acceptance, Mo Wentian chuckled and said: "Hubu can't get so much money and grain now, if His Majesty really plans to use troops next year, then they will start to raise food and grass now, and if you let them prepare horses for you, you just can't kill him Du Yunbao!"

"But if Hubu can't do it, it doesn't mean that His Majesty can't do it!" You all know about the extraction of refined salt from poisonous salt mines, right? As long as His Majesty is willing, he can exchange refined salt for horses, and five thousand horses is not a problem at all! Mo Wentian looked around and found that he didn't get close to them before he whispered.

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Yes, they all forgot this, didn't the old Mo in front of him make a fortune by refining salt?

Although it may not be possible to use the poisonous salt mine to extract the refined salt needed for a while, the national dynasty is not without reserves of refined salt, and it is only necessary to fill in the refined salt made by the poisonous salt mine.
