"Come on, come on, I, Lu, want to hear Cao Dasinong's suffering."

Lu Zhi smiled slightly, and beckoned Cao Ang and Cao Shuo to sit beside him... While stroking their little heads, he added: "In this way, as long as Cao Dasinong helps me this time, and helps the people on the border this time, I, Lu someone, will take one of your grandchildren as a closed disciple, how about it?" ”

Suddenly... Lu Zhi's closed disciple.

You must know that Lu Zhi is famous all over the world, and almost one person can represent the two forces of Confucianism in Kanto and Jiangmen in Guanxi, and if he is involved, the Cao family will have a very special status in the circle of scholars or generals. What's more, he is still a great Confucian, a general! Whether it is scripture etiquette or the art of war and martial arts, learning from him will definitely benefit a lot!

Let the grandson of the Cao family worship him as a teacher? To tell the truth, Cao Song's heart was moved, Cao Ang's heart was moved, and Cao Shuo's heart was also moved... Of course, what Cao Shuo hopes is that his brother Cao Ang can worship under Lu Zhi.

However, after a short period of thought, Cao Song still shook his head.

"Lord Lu Zhi, my Cao family has some money now, but you can probably understand the attitude of the Son of Heaven, if I donate money and start this head, it will not give the Son of Heaven face, if Your Majesty is angry, how can my Cao family afford it?"

Speaking of this, Cao Song stood up and paced left and right, his face even more sad.

"In addition, there is another point, even if my Cao family is out of the old world, donate 10,000 yuan. Admittedly, this money is a lot, but in the army, it is still a small amount? I heard that the horses on the market were hoarded by several big clans, and they were speculated to a high price of five million horses? Master Lu Zhi thinks, this money? Is it enough to raise a cavalry? To put it mildly, even if His Majesty takes out all the money in Wanjin Hall, and the hundred officials donate some generously, it is still not enough to form a cavalry! ”

Cao Song once wrote "On Border Defense" and had an understanding of border warfare.

Over there, but in the Great Plains, fighting with the Xianbei Hu Cavalry, the cavalry is the main force, a team of 10,000 people, that is, 10,000 horses, according to the current market price, a hundred Cao families are tied together, and they can't make up this money.

So... It's really not that you don't help, it's that you can't help!

All of a sudden, Lu Zhi was silent, he was speechless, he was all about how to counterattack Xianbei Huqi, but he ignored the most critical issue - the financial resources of the Han Dynasty...

True.

Since the sixth year of Xiping, after the return of the Xianbei expedition, the treasury of the Han Dynasty has been completely unable to support a large-scale conquest of the Hu people.

Shout... Lu Zhi's eyelids twitched, he didn't want to face it, but this is the truth, a fact that cannot be replaced.

"Alas..."With a long sigh, Lu Zhi was helpless, this time he felt how small he was, and the ambition in his chest could not be realized at all.

But at this moment, a childish voice came out.

"Then why? Can't the Han court make more money? ”

The voice is milky, but every word is unusually clear, isn't this what Xiao Cao Shuo said! "Since the Son of Heaven likes money, the court can do business to make money, and the Wanjin Hall that earns him will not be able to hold it, and when the time comes, the Son of Heaven will have money and no place to put it... Without Grandpa Lu Zhi's persuasion, the Son of Heaven naturally wants to form a cavalry! Actively supporting the fighting on the border? Grandpa Lu Zhi talk about it? Isn't it? ”

Belch... Isn't it?

Cao Song was stunned, and Lu Zhi was also stunned, this little guy is really amazing!

Yes, this truth is the same as "full of warm thoughts**, hunger and cold steal hearts" - only when you can take care of food and clothing, you will think about that dirty deed; Only when there is no money will the mind of being a thief be born.

On the side of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, that is, only when he is so rich that the money in Wanjintang is about to overflow, will he think about whether he can build an extra cavalry? Is it possible to knock and beat the extremely arrogant Hu people? Is it possible to put into practice Emperor Wu's sentence of "Those who offend my Han will be punished even if they are far away"?

Even no matter how ridiculous the Son of Heaven is, he will want to leave a name for eternity? But now... Poor, the poor can't even open the pot of the big man, and they are still thinking about the name of a hammer through the ages? There is wine today, and there is drunkness today!

Cao Shuo's words were based on the character of Liu Hong, the son of heaven...

But in Lu Zhi's opinion, he is "hehe", there is nothing wrong with what he said, but who will tell me? How do you make the coins overflow? Isn't this the Yellow River flooding, and if it overflows, it overflows?

Trade? Make hay? How can it be that simple? This kid clearly doesn't understand anything! Run off at the mouth... Lu Zhi shook his head, as if his mood had become heavier because of Cao Shuo's words.

"Cao Dasi Nong? Your grandchildren are a little bold, but they are too young to speak children's words, which is too unrealistic. ”

Lu Zhi looked at Cao Shuo with a disappointed face. "Children, don't always be imaginative, but still down-to-earth! Make hay? Trade? Ha ha... How do you know that, a child? ”

Lu Zhi is now back to reality, and in the face of reality, he began to teach Cao Shuo earnestly.

Cao Song was going to speak, say a few words, and excuse his grandson Cao Shuo.

Who knows, at this moment.

"Cao Dasi Nong, I can find you."

A small yellow gate hurried into Cao's mansion, Cao Song recognized him, he was a confidant eunuch beside Cao Jie...

"But what's the matter with Cao Da Changqiu..."Cao Song turned around and asked, just halfway through his words, he was pressed down by this little yellow door.

"It's not Cao Da Changqiu, this time it's Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting to see your young grandson Cao Shuo in the Qianqiu Long Live Palace!" Xiao Huangmen's tone was hurried, and he looked around, and happened to see Cao Shuo. "The sedan chair is ready, just outside the door, Prince Cao Shuo, please hurry, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time!"

"Oh!" Cao Song was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted.

His Majesty will summon Cao Shuo in the near future, and Cao Jie greeted him Cao Song, and it was not too sudden.

However, after all, it is a saint, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, Cao Song hurriedly greeted Cao Shuo. "Go ahead! Don't make your majesty wait. Speaking of this, Cao Song seemed to think of something again, and his voice increased again, and he instructed again and again: "By the way, remember to abide by the rules and don't make Your Majesty angry." ”

"Grandpa, don't worry." Cao Shuo nodded, and immediately followed the little yellow door to the sedan chair.

On the other hand, Lu Zhi, he was shocked, he was originally sitting, but now he couldn't sit still at all, he especially stood up, listening to the conversation between Xiao Huangmen, Cao Song, and Cao Shuo, he was dumbfounded, and his jaw was about to fall?

Emperor? Long live the temple of the thousand autumns? Summoning a... A six-year-old?

This, this, this, contrary to common sense! The palace is important, but it is not a place for children to play at home? Why does Your Majesty want to see him?
