The emperor finally appointed Luo Pengfei, the auxiliary prince, as the general, to command the whole army, appointed Pei Jiuchuan as the deputy general, and ordered Nangong Yi to escort the grain and grass and all the necessary materials.

Chen Yi's dream in his previous life was to be the loveliest person, to be a soldier, he volunteered to Yuan Datou, saying that he wanted to join the army, he just said what he thought in his heart, and waited for the favor of the generals, Pei Jiuchuan thought in his heart that this is the real man, unlike those civil servants, who can only talk on paper and say some empty words.

After listening to this, Wang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly stood up and explained his thoughts to His Majesty, and moved out the papermaking, printing, and the three-character scripture one by one, so that such a talented person, if something happened on the battlefield, it would be a loss for the country.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that Lord Wang is for his own good, but the minister has always had a dream, that is, to become a soldier and become the most lovely person in the world."

Become the cutest of all? After hearing Chen Yi's words, the civil officials in the court looked at the group of military attaches with different eyes, looking at the military attaches who were stronger than themselves, how could they not see at all, where they were cute. The military attachés looked at Chen Yi angrily, if Chen Yi couldn't come up with a perfect explanation, I am afraid they would rush up and teach Chen Yi a hard lesson, Yuan Datou looked at Chen Yi with black lines, quietly waiting for Chen Yi's explanation.

"The soldiers of the courtiers are the loveliest people, and they will appear when the lives and property of the people are threatened; They appear when the sovereignty of the country is challenged. They are always there when they are needed most, even at the cost of their precious lives. Isn't that cute enough? They are hard-working, not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, selfless dedication, and are worthy of everyone's admiration, so they will always be the loveliest people in the new era. I think that the soldiers are for Your Majesty, for Da Yuan, they are real heroic acts, and in the eyes of the people, they have become the loveliest people! The minister also wants to be the loveliest person, and asks His Majesty to fulfill it. ”

The officials standing in the main hall seemed to see a piece of fresh life, fighting to the death against the enemy, and they left the last drop of blood for Dayuan.

"Your Majesty, the minister retracts what he said, and asks Your Majesty to fulfill this little dream of Chenyi." Wang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said ashamedly.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuan will stay by Chenyi's side to protect his safety." Luo Pengfeishi was present except for His Majesty and Gao Gonggong's accident, the only one who knew Chen Yi's true identity, knew that His Majesty was a little reluctant in his heart, and was afraid that Chen Yi would have an accident on the battlefield, so he spoke.

"Luo Aiqing, I will hand over Chen Yi to you, you must ensure his safety." Although Yuan Datou was reluctant, he couldn't bear to refuse Chen Yi's request, so he agreed.

"Chen Yi, I have named you the captain of Zhaowu, you must take care of yourself in the frontier."

"Minister, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Thinking that he could finally fulfill his dream in this life, he said excitedly, Yuan Datou looked at Chen Yi who was kneeling on the ground, and thought in his heart, if the eldest sister was still alive, he would be very happy and gratified.

"Let's be flat." After Chen Yi thanked Yuan Datou, he stood behind.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has no new war horses to transport grain and grass, and I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money."

Yuan Jie remembered that in the past two years, in order to form an invincible cavalry, I don't know how many war horses have been discarded. Every year, a large amount of money was transferred from the treasury to purchase war horses, but as long as the cavalry could be trained, they were no longer afraid of Turkic harassment.

"Your Majesty, this year, the household department can only allocate a maximum of 300,000 taels of silver to buy war horses."

"Su Shangshu, our military department needs more than 10,000 war horses every year, how many war horses can be bought with 150,000 taels of silver? Do you want my infantry to carry food to the border? Nangong Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, opened his eyes angrily and said with great dissatisfaction.

150,000 taels, Chen Yi calculated, each horse is an average of 30 taels to calculate, 150,000 taels can only buy 5,000 war horses, 5,000 war horses are a drop in the bucket for an army of hundreds of thousands.

"Nan Shangshu, don't you still have more than 10,000 war horses in your military department? These war horses are all war horses bought last autumn, aren't these war horses added together enough? ”

"Aiqing, aren't these silver taels and last year's war horses enough for the army?"

"Your Majesty, the military department has bought many new war horses since the beginning of the year, but in order to train a cavalry as soon as possible, many war horses have been worn out due to the horse's hooves and can no longer be used normally." Nangong Yi understood and explained to the emperor.

"Lord Su, can't the household department allocate some more silver taels for the purchase of war horses?"

"Your Majesty, when the war starts in the spring, the household department has to buy grain and grass, buy weapons and armor, build a canal at the beginning of the year, renovate the palace, build a new dormitory for the queen mother in the summer, and issue a pension to the soldiers after the war, and set aside a large amount of silver taels for emergency use, so that the household department has no extra funds to buy war horses, and you can only wait until after the autumn to buy war horses." Hubu Shangshu Su Jin carefully analyzed.

Yuan Jie sat on the high dragon chair, listening to the words of Su Qin, the head of the household, and frowned secretly, thinking to himself, what can be done? The cost of war horses must not be reduced, and how to transport so much grain and grass needed for war.

Chen Yi understands, because of the horse's hooves, so he is so wasted war horses, how simple is this in the later generations, will it be over soon to put the horse's hooves on the horse, what a big thing, thinking in his heart that he can fool Yuan Datou, last time in the court Yuan Datou dug a pit for himself, pit himself five million taels, this time no matter what, he has to find a way to get something good from Yuan Datou's hands, as an heirloom for his children and grandchildren.

"Your Majesty, the minister suddenly thought of a way, maybe it can solve the problem of war horses, but the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for a small gift, and ask Your Majesty to agree" Chen Yi said a little embarrassed.

"Don't give me a sloppy eye, if there is any way to solve the damage to the horse's hooves, say it quickly." Yuan Ertou was unhappy when he heard Chen Yi's words, the whole world is mine, you are honored to do things for me, I don't know how many people in the world are looking forward to doing things for me, and they still want to negotiate terms with me.

"Your Majesty, as long as the war horse is in accordance with the minister's method, after the soldiers ride the war horse, they can sprinkle thorn weapons under the horse's hooves, and the minister guarantees that the war horse's hooves will be as flat as the ground and will not be injured at all."

"Are you sure that the horses will walk on the ground without being hurt in the slightest?" Pei Jiuchuan said with some worry, for fear that Chen Yi would speak too much.

"You can guarantee it." When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, and they couldn't think of any way to solve the problem in front of them.

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, they are really unseemly, and the sea is incomprehensible." Nangong Yi, the secretary of the military department, said with a glittering gaze.

"Bastard boy, don't hurry up and tell me your method." It is estimated that if it weren't for the court, Yuan Datou would have kicked Chen Yi's ass fiercely.

"It's actually very simple for the minister to think of a way, we people know that walking barefoot will know that we will be injured, so we invented shoes, so why can't we not put shoes on the war horse?"

There was an uproar in the court, and the military department Shangshu pointed at Chen Yi with his finger, trembling angrily for a long time and couldn't say a word, if it weren't for Wang Ze's quick reaction, he hurriedly held him up and kept stroking his back, it is estimated that he would be able to carry his breath.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the Chaosan Doctor Chen Yi for making a public appearance in the court and despising Your Majesty, and I also ask Your Majesty to punish him." Shangguan Yaoran finally waited for the opportunity, and pointed at Chen Yi with righteous indignation and said.
