"No, these are all for breeding, I can't use these corns to satisfy my appetite, and when there is more corn in the future, let's talk about it!"

Emperor Hongzhi was a very benevolent and self-controlled monarch, he was well aware of the importance of corn, and naturally, he would not rush to taste corn to satisfy his appetite.

"Speaking of rubber grass, nephew, you let my private army run to the frontier, in addition to training, you also have the purpose of looking for rubber grass, right?"

Emperor Hongzhi still believed in the saying "fighting a war is fighting logistics", because he found someone to investigate, and found that in most battles in history, the losing side lost in logistics.

Therefore, he was convinced that Li Zhaotong sent the Ming royal guards out for training.

But at this moment, he firmly believes that Li Zhaotong has other purposes.

"Your Majesty."

Li Zhaotong didn't hide it, and directly admitted it. He did ask Liu Wu to bring a sample of rubber grass and arrange for them to go in search of wild rubber grass.

Because there is no way to hide this matter, Emperor Hongzhi will know sooner or later. Because the Ming Imperial Army is the private army of Emperor Hongzhi, not the private army of Li Zhaotong and Zhu Houzhao, Liu Wu and these people will report to Emperor Hongzhi sooner or later.

"It seems that I really have to pay attention to this rubber grass."

Emperor Hongzhi felt that he was being driven to the shelves, but he also "understood" that it was not Li Zhaotong who forced him to drive the ducks to the shelves, but the sage Lao Tzu.

Therefore, he didn't blame Li Zhaotong much, after all, he was a reasonable emperor.

"By the way, virtuous nephew, you should have a method for refining rubber from rubber grass, right?"

"Yes, at present, the rubber trading house and the little nephew are already in preparation."

Li Zhaotong still planned and then moved, and he had already exchanged his order for the refining method of rubber grass from the system, so he was not lying now.

"In this way, this rubber trading firm, I decided, you Li Zhaotong will contribute technology and manpower, accounting for 20%, I will account for 50%, my Ming royal guards will account for 10%, the military department will account for 10%, and the Governor's Mansion of the five armies will account for 10%, what do you think?"

"Yes, the little nephew has no opinion."

Li Zhaotong has never been interested in money, he doesn't care about how many shares he occupies, what he values is this matter, how much life he can earn, that's the key!

If the rubber trading house is in a mess because of improper management, and the country and the people are in trouble, then he will lose a lot.

Therefore, in order not to make a mess, he decided to occupy a certain share and grasp the management power.

"Okay, that's it."

Emperor Hongzhi saw that Li Zhaotong had no opinion, and he had no opinion.

"By the way, Your Majesty, General Wang Lao is old, and the little nephew suggests that when Turpan Sutan Mahamu will be frightened by this victory fought by General Wang, he will write a letter to apologize and return the Hami Zhongshun King Shaanba, who was previously captured by his younger brother Sutan Ahei Ma Khan, let General Wang come back!

General Wang's age is really not suitable for working in the frontier, so it seems that I have no one in the Ming Dynasty, General Wang, I should return to the capital to shine and cultivate more good generals and handsome talents for my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Cultivating good generals and handsome talents?"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, he really never had this idea.

He knew that the Ming Dynasty lacked the talent of generals, so in the sixth year of Hongzhi, he opened a martial arts campaign and wanted to use it to select generals, but he never had the idea of cultivating generals.

"Your Majesty, in the sixth year of Hongzhi, the imperial court opened a martial arts, and next year will be the year of the scientific examination, why not hold a martial arts again?"

"I want to open it, but the quality of the students who participate in the martial arts is really worrying! Those who can write a complete article are rare!

Because of the talent, they all went to participate in the imperial examination! The rest of the crooked melons and cracked dates will participate in the martial arts. ”

In fact, if there is no variable of Li Zhaotong, Emperor Hongzhi will still choose to open a martial arts move next year, after all, in the sixth year of Hongzhi, the rule of opening a martial arts move once in six years was set, and next year is the sixth year.

However, despite the rules, Emperor Hongji has not yet made up his mind.

Because of the martial arts in the sixth year of Hongzhi, he was really disappointed, and no talent was selected at all, all of them were crooked melons and cracked dates.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi was even thinking about whether to abolish it.

Even if, Li Zhaotong had already mentioned martial arts in front of him before.

Because Emperor Hongji didn't want to lose that person.

"Your Majesty, you don't need them to have a high level of cultural quality! You only need to open a martial arts, select a group of people with good physical fitness, and then set up a military academy, throw all these people into the military academy for further study, and let a veteran of the battlefield like General Wang teach them military tactics for a few years. ”

"Isn't this similar to the Hanlin Academy?"

British Gong Zhang Mao, as the head of the military attachés and nobles, was naturally very concerned about this matter, so he listened carefully to Li Zhaotong's statement, and after listening to it, he blurted out this sentence.

"That's right, it's similar to the Hanlin Academy!"

Li Zhaotong nodded, at this point, he really referred to the situation of the Hanlin Academy.

In the matter of martial arts, although Li Zhaotong has fused the "memory" from the future and knows the power of aircraft artillery, he also has to admit that in the era when artillery has not yet become the mainstream and is still a cold weapon dominated by swords, guns, sticks and spears, the real general really has to be a big man.

The role played by these big men who are one against ten, or even one against one by hundred, on the battlefield is really not ordinary!

Because fighting a war is about one drum, then declining, and three exhaustion.

A desperate attempt to fight the battlefield with one enemy against ten, or even one against one against hundred, is very helpful in boosting morale.

Therefore, in today's era of cold weapons, a developed head is really not as important as a muscular development.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong was more simply and proposed to Emperor Hongzhi that the martial arts assessment should mainly test physical fitness, and as for cultural achievements, they could be thrown into the military academy for further study after the examination.

When a muscular hunk is equipped with a knowledgeable mind, then his role on the battlefield is not ordinary!

At that time, will Daming still lack the talent of generals?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Zhaotong's suggestion is completely feasible!"

The British Duke can become the head of the military generals, in addition to the British Duke is very high, his ability is also very, he understood Li Zhaotong's meaning for the first time, and then, he began to plan for the generals.

Because, it's a great solution!

If this plan is promoted by him, it will be very helpful to improve the status of military generals!

He didn't want this credit, even the military academy that had not yet had a shadow, to fall into the hands of civilian officials.
