As for how to resolve the criticism of the imperial court, Shi Miyuan should teach him face-to-face. Doesn't Wang Jinlong have money now? Then spend a few small bucks to buy some bandits, bandits, green forest heroes and the like, and let them fight the people of the Jin country. Regardless of whether you can beat it or not, as long as the momentum is built, it will be easy for the court to speak.

Wang Jinlong's eyes lit up when he heard it, and Shi Miyuan's thinking pointed out a clear way for him. In the future, he wants to unify the world in the shortest possible time, and it is impossible to rely on the power in his own hands too quickly in any case. But if you include all kinds of scattered forces on your side, there will be enough cannon fodder. The only trouble is how to deal with these people after the war, but it is only a trouble, and the cost is negligible compared to a protracted war.

As for the question of whether he will have an uneasy conscience if he pushes those people up as cannon fodder, Wang Jinlong said that his conscience is very peaceful. The cottages and bandits in this era are not as righteous as they are in the TV series, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, but really harming the people, killing people and setting fires, robbing and raping, and doing all kinds of evil. Although there are indeed those who have a clear conscience, they are very few, less than one in ten thousand. Will it be uneasy to push such a group of people up as cannon fodder?

If this idea continues to spread, maybe it can be like Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and hold a hero conference or something. However, Wang Jinlong felt that his reputation in the rivers and lakes was not enough, and it seemed that he would have to find a way to brush up his prestige in the future.

After talking about business and turning on the small talk mode, Wang Jinlong pretended to be casual and said, "Brother Shi, I still have something to ask you." You know, I'm seriously lacking people. It's not that there is a shortage of ordinary people, but that there is a lack of readers. I'm also a dignified pacification envoy, but I don't even have any paperwork under my hands. ”

Shi Miyuan said: "You can't blame others, it's not like the imperial court didn't send you someone at the beginning, but what about you?" drove back the bruised nose and swollen face of the beating. If I hadn't helped you press the matter, the court would have taken your official position down a long time ago, even if you couldn't help it! ”

Wang Jinlong spread his hands and said: "You can't blame me, do you know what kind of virtue that official was back then?" As soon as he arrived at me, he was like an ancestor, and when he met, he gave me a dismount, and he obviously had a lower official position than me, so he asked me to visit him! Let's see you, I have to be filial when I meet, and I want half of all my income if I have a mouth! It's really a piece of paper to draw a nose, he has such a big face, I didn't kill him, it was his luck. ”

Shi Miyuan laughed and said, "It's because he's too greedy that I can keep things down, otherwise do you think you can get out so easily?" But he doesn't have a good life, I sent him to Qiongzhou, which can be regarded as avenging you. ”

Wang Jinlong said: "I won't say thank you, we are allies, that guy doesn't provoke me with long eyes, doesn't he just look down on you?" If you don't clean him up, who will clean up? But those jumping clowns are cleaned up, but I'm still short of people! Brother Shi, I think that Shangguan looks good, give him to me! ”

Shi Miyuan said in surprise: "Shangguan Xiang? He's just an errand runner, why do you like him? ”

Wang Jinlong said: "It's pleasing to the eye!" It's not that I'm talking big, when I'm angry, few people are not afraid, and those who can stand firm are considered bold. This Shangguan is not a small courage, a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, not only stands firm, but also can talk eloquently, which is suitable for doing things under me. ”

Shi Miyuan hesitated: "Oh, if others are good to say, this Shangguan is ......."

Wang Jinlong said: "What's the matter? What's wrong with him? ”

Shi Miyuan sighed and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that this Shangguan is a thief." It was the sixth year of Chunxi, and Li Jie of Guangnan West Road rebelled. Originally, this was just a problem of scabies, but who knew that he would post posts everywhere, saying that he would not collect taxes for ten years. Only this list made his momentum dozens of times bigger, and hundreds of people coveted a small bargain to take refuge in the past, and also called this anti-thief 'King Li', and it took a lot of effort for the court to suppress it. And the one who gave Li the idea to post this list was Shangguan Xiang's father. ”

Wang Jinlong was taken aback and asked, "Since Shangguan Xiang's father is a thief, why do you want to take Shangguan Xiang in again, Brother Shi?" ”

Shi Miyuan said: "Shangguan Xiang's father is actually not a real thief, he was originally a person in the imperial court. Just because when Li Jie rebelled, he happened to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and his hometown happened to be on Guangnan West Road, so he was caught by the thieves and wanted to cut off his head. In order to protect himself, he had to give the thief an idea. But when he came up with this idea, it was only to save his life temporarily, and when the court put down the rebellion, he was condemned as a thief again, and his head was cut off. ”

This should be a sad story, but how does Wang Jinlong feel so funny? It's just that this matter is about the prime minister, Wang Jinlong still wants to recruit this subordinate, and he can't go too far, so he had to hold back his smile and continue to ask: "Since you are a thief, why didn't you kill the whole family?" How did Shangguan Xiang survive? ”

Shi Miyuan said in surprise: "The whole family is beheaded? How can there be such a rule? My Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with scholars, unless it was a major crime of rebellion, no matter how big the crime was, he would not take his life, at most he would be exiled to Lingnan and Qiongzhou. Even if it is a rebellion, at most it is to kill the people who participated in the rebellion, and the family members are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. At that time, Shangguan was still young, so of course he would not be involved. ”

Wang Jinlong suddenly realized that the Song Dynasty was indeed too good to scholars, and when it came to the Ming and Qing dynasties, he would raid the family and destroy the clan and the nine clans at every turn. In contrast, the scholars of the Song Dynasty were too happy.

Shi Miyuan continued: "I am a world friend with the Shangguan family, and Shangguan Xiang's father is convicted, I can't save him, I can only help him take care of orphans and widows." In the past, I always put them in Zhuangzi outside the city, and I wanted them to live in peace for the rest of their lives. Unexpectedly, when Shangguan Xiang grew up a little, he began to grow his eyes, and he tried his best to drill the camp and seek a fortune. I saw that he looked good, and he had a bit of courage, so I left him to run errands. If you want to talk about real talent, he is still far behind. ”

Wang Jinlong smiled: "What I fancy about him is this courage. If you don't have the courage, no matter how talented you are, it's useless. Since he's dispensable to you, give it to me! ”

Shi Miyuan said this for a long time, and he pondered it in his heart, and finally nodded happily: "Since you don't care about his identity after the thief, what else can I say?" I'll ask him to pack up and go back with you in a moment. ”

Wang Jinlong raised his glass and said, "Then thank you!" In the future, there will be good goods in Liulifang, and you will be sure to keep them! ”

The output of variegated glass from Liulifang is very large, but Wang Jinlong has always been hungry for sales, so the price has always been very high. A glass piece with good shape and uniform and transparent material can be regarded as a heavy gift, which makes Shi Miyuan very satisfied.

After talking about the ownership of the prime minister, Wang Jinlong still didn't give up, and suddenly asked: "By the way, there should be a lot of magic weapons in the imperial court, right?" You know, I'm a gunner, but I haven't been able to find a good gun. Can you help me find it from the treasury of the Imperial Court? ”

Shi Miyuan muttered: "I really haven't paid attention to this matter, I'll find someone to help you ask." ”

As he spoke, he gave a loud command to the people outside the door to call a steward surnamed Yan. This strict steward will order the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and if he fights in the rivers and lakes, he will probably lose his head in a few days. But because he knows some martial arts, he is very interested in divine weapons, and he relies on himself to be the steward of Shi Miyuan's mansion, and often wanders around the arsenals of the palace, the Imperial Forest Army, the forbidden army and other places, and knows the family background of the imperial court clearly.

Not long after, the strict steward came in a hurry. As soon as Shi Miyuan said Wang Jinlong's request, he strictly managed the matter and said: "If you want to talk about treasure guns, there are really a lot of treasures in the imperial court, among which there are more than a dozen famous ones, and there are dozens of them that are not very famous. Take out a shot casually, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied with Lord Yang. ”

Wang Jinlong became interested when he heard this, and asked, "Then tell me, which ones are famous?" ”

Steward Yan glanced at Wang Jinlong and said: "If you want to say that they are famous, some of them are really related to Lord Yang, such as those used by the general Yang Zaixing, as well as those of Yang Yanzhao and Yang Wenguang, which are also well preserved." But the most famous is Yue Fei's Liquan gun. ”

Wang Jinlong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked: "I want a pole with a length between one zhang and four to one zhang six, and a weight of more than eighty catties, is there one?" ”

Yan Guan was stunned and said: "More than eighty catties? Then you have to thicken the barrel of the gun. It's just that...... Eighty pounds, how thick is the barrel of the gun? I can't hold it at all! ”

Wang Jinlong shrugged and said, "If it's so easy to find, I still need to call you?" Shi Xianggong just said, only you can help me find a suitable weapon, and now it seems that Shi Xianggong is a bit exaggerated! ”

Strictly speaking, he is Shi Miyuan's domestic servant, he made Shi Miyuan lose face, will he have a good life in the future? So as soon as he heard Wang Jinlong's words, he became nervous, and hurriedly said, "Yes! Of course! Wang Tiegun, Wang Yanzhang, you know, right? His gun was made of steel and weighed one hundred and twenty pounds! That's enough weight, right? I just don't know if you can use it? ”

Wang Jinlong didn't care about Yan Guanshi's sarcastic tone, but frowned and said, "Iron gun? The barrel of a gun made of steel is inelastic. If I could, would I still have to look for you? ”

Yan Guan said proudly: "Lord Yang, I don't know, Wang Yanzhang's iron gun is different from ordinary iron guns, the gun barrel is made of special Burmese iron, and the toughness is excellent!" It's just that if you don't have Wang Yanzhang's innate divine power, don't think about it, you can't use it at all. ”

As soon as Wang Jinlong heard that there was such an iron gun, he immediately became excited, and laughed: "Great, I don't lack strength!" Brother Shi, I have to trouble you, find a way to get this gun for me! ”

Shi Miyuan patted his chest and said, "It's a trivial matter, it's on me!" You're going to stay here for two days, and when you go back, you'll be able to take your gun with you!" ”

When Yan Guan saw Shi Miyuan and Wang Jinlong calling him brothers, he was almost scared. He had sarcastically mocked Wang Jinlong a few times just now, and if Wang Jinlong blamed him, he would be bad. In order to atone the crime, he hurriedly said: "Xiangye, leave this matter to me, keep it smooth!" ”
