Zhou Tai was not drunk, he woke up when he returned to the Guogong Mansion, and went to the study in the backyard to find the old Lu Guogong Zhou Qing, and when he came to the study, the old Lu Guogong asked him to bring the sobering soup, and some sugar water, and sent the people away, "Who are you drinking with today, drinking so much"

Zhou Taidao "With Your Majesty, as well as Su Hu and Wang Han, the two generals, they drank too much in the Imperial Garden."

The old prince said with emotion on his face, "In Your Majesty's heart, the three of you are the most trusted people by him, and you can't lead the troops to fight because of my relationship, and you have been wronged."

Zhou Tai said seriously, "In fact, there is no grievance, Your Majesty takes me to be thin, the king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman."

"Good," said the old man, and Zhou Tai's idea made the old man very comforted.

"Why are generations of our old Zhou family fighting to the death outside, it is because the monarch treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay it as a national soldier, the Guo royal family has taken my family to a good degree, and several generations have been favored, you can think so, grandpa is very comforting, what is the matter with the two of them entering Beijing this time" The old Guogong asked.

Zhou Taidao "I don't know, I only know that I am escorting the grassland captives into Beijing" The old man nodded.

The old man thought for a while and said, "This time, Su Hu and Wang Han are estimated to be unable to return to Yunzhou a year ago, you bring them to the house to play another day, if I expect it to be good, this time the two of them will lead one side alone."

Zhou Tai was stunned, but still said, "Yes, grandpa, I will bring them over in a few days, and I want to invite the two of them to come to the house for the New Year."

The old prince nodded and said, "Yes, as I expected, as long as the three of you do not rebel in the Xingwu Dynasty, the emperor will take you well."

The next day, Guo Xing washed up and went straight to the Qianyuan Palace, the Qianyuan Hall as the office of the cabinet, Guo Xing often came over, and several cabinet elders met each other and said, "This time I came to discuss with you, how to deal with the grassland captives" Several cabinet elders have long thought of this problem, after all, the former prince is the emperor's eldest brother died in the hands of the grassland people, and the emperor's hatred for the grassland is needless to say, but if they are killed, it will really hurt the heavens and the peace, after all, it is 30,000 lives.

A few people looked at each other or Yang He said, "Your Majesty, the grassland people and my Great Jin are feuds, but you can kill a group of memorial princes, and let the rest go."

This is the conclusion reached by several ministers after several discussions, they can't all be killed, but if they don't kill, the emperor can't pass the level, and raising it is a waste of food, so they can only kill a batch and release a batch, which is also a helpless thing.

After speaking, I saw Guo Xing's eyebrows jump, and several ministers were dissatisfied with this emperor until this was the emperor, the emperor's murderous nature was great, and everyone knew about it before he ascended the throne, and he thought to himself Is the emperor planning to kill these captives.

At this time, I heard Guo Xing say, "There is no need to kill them, I have an idea, you can see if it is feasible."

Several ministers were stunned, and Yang He said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Guo Xing said, "The grassland people have hurt me too much in the Great Jin, and if I kill them all, it will hurt the heavens and the peace, so I feel that I can't let them go, once I release them, they will return to the grassland to be the enemy, and they will come back to fight with us, I want them to build roads, build rivers, work to atone for their sins, give me the Great Jin to build roads to atone for their sins, we just need not to starve them to death, so that we can also reduce the labor of the people, you see how."

Several ministers are all elites, Guo Xing understood what he said, this idea is so good, why didn't he think of it, the emperor is the emperor in the end, and they began to say that Guo Xing's idea is good, and they unanimously agreed.

Guo Xing then said, "Since everyone agrees, then it's over, and the other issue is which department should be managed, you can talk about it."

Several cabinet ministers were silent, they all wanted to get this errand in their hands, this is a good errand, Yang He said that it should be managed by the Ministry of War, Zhang Yanyu said that it should be under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, Yao Chong said that it should be under the management of Shuntianfu, Liu Bingzhong thought that it should be under the control of the Gyeonggi Yamen, and it was not unified, Guo Xing saw that this was not a way and said, "At this time, your cabinet should discuss it with the Eighth Ministry, and give me a reply within three days."

Several cabinet ministers said in unison, "Ministers obey the order," Guo Xing nodded.

"There is another matter about Yizhou and Lanzhou, I plan to establish horse farms in these two states to train cavalry, send Su Hu to Yizhou as a cavalry general, Wang Han to Lanzhou as a cavalry general, and train 50,000 cavalry respectively to complete the goal of attacking the grassland, you see" Guo Xing said his own arrangement.

Yang He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Yizhou is estimated to be able to afford the cost of 50,000 cavalry, but Lanzhou is estimated to be difficult to afford the cost of 50,000 cavalry," the rest of the ministers all nodded, and Yang Shoufu said well.

Guo Xing pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I will call the governors of Yizhou and Lanzhou, as well as Suhu and Wang Han, and let them talk about it."

Zhang Yanyu said, "Okay, they knew the local situation best at that time, and it was best for them to talk about it," and the rest agreed.

Guo Xing said, "Zhou Quan, you send someone to the governor's mansion of Yizhou and Lanzhou, and the two generals Su Hu and Wang Han have invited the Qianyuan Palace" Zhou Quan responded and went out to make arrangements.

After a while, several people came to the Qianyuan Palace, greeted each other to Guo Xing, and met several elders of the cabinet, Guo Xing said: "I summoned you to the capital because there is something that needs to be confirmed with you face to face, Liu Ge Lao, you can tell them."

Liu Bingzhong directly said, "Chen Zunzhi," and told them about the establishment of horse farms and the training of 50,000 cavalry in Yizhou and Lanzhou.

"You are the parties concerned, if you have any difficulties, say it directly," Liu Bingzhong said directly.

Several people looked at each other, and Hong Chengxin, the governor of Lanzhou, said, "Your Majesty, the elders, Lanzhou is in difficulty, with the strength of the whole Lanzhou, it is impossible to supply 50,000 cavalry, grain and grass, and money can not be done, I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it with the elders."

Zhan Cheng, the governor of Yizhou, said, "Your Majesty, several elders, if you raise the strength of Yizhou and the whole state, you can only ensure the supply of 40,000 cavalry, which is too much to afford, and at the same time, I am afraid that this two-year work plan will not be completed."

Guo Xing nodded after listening, and the two governors didn't tell a lie and said, "Very good, you dare to tell the truth, I am very pleased, the last thing I can hear is a lie."

The two governors were happy for a while, Guo Xing walked back and forth a few times and said, "The goal of your two states in the past two years is to fully support the construction of cavalry, and the same is true of Ganzhou next to Lanzhou, so that the governor of Ganzhou is also urgently summoned, you discuss the proportion, 50,000 cavalry must be established, and Qingzhou, Qingzhou is close to Yizhou, discuss together, no matter how the two horse farms and 50,000 cavalry must be established, you see what."

Several cabinet ministers also nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Bingzhong went on to say, "The pressure on Yunzhou is also very great, and the loyal and brave marquis of Ezhou and the governor of Ezhou were also summoned to discuss and reduce some of the pressure on Yunzhou."

Guo Xing nodded and said, "Yes, the cabinet will preside over this matter at that time, and report it to me after discussing it, this matter is related to the grand strategy of the grassland in the future, and you should not take it lightly."

"Yes, the ministers obey the order," said several ministers, several governors, and Su Hu Wang Han.

Guo Xing left, went back to the palace, the emperor didn't have to bow in person, it was too tired not to mention that it was annoying, and the matter was handed over to the courtiers to do, and if it was done well, it would be praised, and if it was not done well, it would be played on the board, this is Guo Xing's concept, so much money is spent out, and it is for you to do things. Keep them all busy so that they can be free.

The efficiency of the cabinet is very fast, urgently summoning several governors and Zhongyong Hou into Beijing, a few days of kung fu several people have arrived in Beijing, Guo Xing also specially met with Zhongyong Hou Hong Zhen, the two are more temperamental, are hated to death by foreigners, leaving the old marquis to eat together in the palace, and said in the middle of the meal, "Old man, your second son Hong Chengtao can practice."

Hong Zhen now has three sons, the eldest son is a colt and can't be an errand, the second son and the younger son follow him to exercise, he has long wanted to release the second son, he has told Guo Wei before, but Guo Wei felt that the war was dangerous and worried about Hong Chengtao's safety and did not agree, after all, the old marquis sacrificed a lot for the Great Jin, so he couldn't bear it, and now Guo Xing proposed that Hong Zhen understood what Guo Xing meant.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has proposed it to the Emperor Taishang before, but the Emperor Taishang did not agree, it would be better if he could be sent out under the experience" Hong Zhen, the loyal and brave marquis, had long wanted to send Hong Chengtao out for training.

Guo Xing said, "The old marquis has sacrificed a lot for my Dajin, and I decided to let Hong Chengtao go to Yizhou to be a deputy with Su Hu, what do you think."

Zhongyong Marquis Hongzhen is a great joy, Su Hu is the emperor's confidant, it can be said that the future is immeasurable, his youngest son in the past, the promotion can not be slow, and he directly said, "The minister has no opinion, do what His Majesty says."

Guo Xing said again, "The old man is not young, but I feel that the old marquis in Ezhou will be in charge for a while, and then you will move to Beijing and live in peace."

"Your Majesty Xie is sympathetic to the old minister" The loyal and brave Hou Hongzhen knelt down to thank him, Guo Xing helped the old marquis, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

The two-year work plan of the cabinet to examine and approve the governors in various localities has basically come to an end, and the proportion of money and grain distribution in Yizhou, Qingzhou, Yunzhou, Ezhou, Lanzhou, Ganzhou, and other places has also been distributed, and the garrisons of Yizhou and Lanzhou have been found, and each of the two places will establish a 50,000-strong cavalry unit.

Guo Xing summoned Su Hu and Wang Han over, and said, "Now that everything is ready, I won't keep you, go home for the New Year, bring your family over after the New Year, train the cavalry and don't talk about overnight, I will give you two years, you have to take them to see blood within two years, or the soldiers who don't see blood are unqualified, you go directly to the post at the end of February next year, if there is anything to report directly to me, I will call the shots for you, let go and do it boldly."
