Things are really the same as Sun Youcai said, even worse than what he said, for Sima Chengen's application to recruit herdsmen as cavalry in Chenggong County, Chenggong County officialdom expressed a resolute attitude of supporting the central policy, and then with a stroke of the pen, Sima Chengen was given 200 recruiting places, and one by one they looked very bold, with an expression of "don't thank me", and the angry Sima Chengen wanted to beat people.

Fortunately, the people of Chenggong County are very enthusiastic about participating in the cavalry, after all, the cavalry sounds taller than the herdsmen, and the actual status is indeed different, Huaxia has always spared no effort to promote joining the army, just like China in the sixties, seventies and eighties, the soldier brother is very popular among the Chinese people, and finding a wife has an advantage over others, not to mention the cavalry that is called the aristocratic army with the navy.

More importantly, what future can grazing have? With China's current land policy, there is no hope of even becoming a rancher.

It's a pity that the light folk have enthusiasm and don't use it.

"Now everyone is talking, what should we do?" asked Sima Chengen, the commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, in a small conference room in the guest house, looking at the seven senior officers under his command.

In addition to the commander Sima Chengen, there were also Deputy Commander Major Xu Da, Deputy Commander Major Chen Qingzhi, Regiment Governor Major Wang Xiaowu, Teaching Major Niu Guicheng, First Battalion Commander Major Guan Xi, Second Battalion Commander Major Tao Shuang, and Third Battalion Commander Major Wu Tongke.

"We are currently short of 813 places, and Chenggong County has only given 200, and there are still more than 600 left..."Major Wang Xiaowu, the governor of the regiment, frowned and said, "The local government of Chenggong County does not cooperate, but the people are very yearning for us, can we bypass the local government?"

"This, there are a bit of irregularities in the procedure..."Teaching Major Niu Guicheng said euphemistically, "Now Chenggong County is not reasonable, and local protectionism is too much, but once we bypass them and let the raw rice be cooked and cooked, then we will not be reasonable, and when they make trouble, we can't say anything!"

"They dare?" Wang Xiaowu glared at a pair of bull's eyes, and said tigerly, "They say that they support the central government's decision-making, but in fact, they are contrary to the yin, and if we don't beat their small report, even if the benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, they still dare to beat a rake? Is it possible that they want to be demoted again!"

What he said was degraded again, naturally referring to Zhang Yong, the county commander of Chenggong County and the northern defense envoy, this guy was demoted to Chenggong County from the position of deputy finance minister, so Wang Xiaowu said this.

"Governor Wang, be cautious!" Sima Chengen warned.

"No!" Wang Xiaowu is not a real tiger, in fact, he regretted it when he said it, no matter how Zhang Yong is, he is also a person who has been a deputy official, who knows when he was remembered by the king and transferred back, although everyone is divided into two systems, but Wang Xiaowu does not dare to guarantee that he will not be injured and change jobs.

"Although what Wang Duji said is a bit deviant, it is not unreasonable!" Major Tao Shuang, the commander of the second battalion, said, "Commander, I think, let's not think about it here, either bypass them and cook raw rice for mature rice, or take advantage of our time to sue directly and fight a lawsuit." ”

First, there is no need to make a fuss with colleagues too stiff, everyone may have to cooperate in the future, and how embarrassing it will be when the time comes; second, and the most important reason, Sima Chengen does not want to leave a bad impression in front of Li Kang, he is only 39 this year, and he is less than 40, he does not want to work in the position of commander of the cavalry regiment until he retires from the army, saying that he is in charge of the military department is a bit exaggerated, but there is still a great opportunity for the commander of the brigade and the military commander of a higher level to be added in the future。

"Commander Tao's suggestion is good, you can keep it as a backup, what else do you have to suggest?" asked Sima Chengen without giving up.

For a while, there was silence in the conference room, after all, this matter is really not easy to handle, catch strong men foul, and the reputation of the lawsuit is not good.

"Why don't we send someone back to other counties and towns to look for it?" Wu Tongke, the commander of the third battalion, said weakly.

Sima Chengen just glanced at him, and didn't bother to answer at all.

"Otherwise, let's just find the servant army, there are barbarians and Hedong people who can ride horses in Suwu County!" said Guan Xi, the commander of the first battalion, scolding.

"Absolutely not! Foreigners can be recruited into the regular army in small quantities, but they must not be recruited on a large scale, at least not now!" Xu Da, who has been silent, said, "Have you forgotten the disaster of the Wuhu Rebellion in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty?"

The two examples cited by Xu Da are both famous in history because of the large-scale appointment of Tibetan soldiers and generals, which led to the decline of the dynasty.

The former, in particular, caused one of the most unbearable pains in China for 5,000 years, and the Han family was almost wiped out.

This kind of tragedy is absolutely not allowed to appear in the current China, and the consensus of everyone at this time is not even a little sign of it!

Guan Xi knew that he had lost his words, and immediately pleaded guilty to Sima Chengen.

"Okay, Commander Guan is just in a hurry, so don't take it to heart. Sima Chengen didn't want to make any more extraneous branches, so he gently exposed the matter.

"Commander, I heard that Duanmu Shilang just reached a trade agreement with some barbarian tribes in the north not long ago?" At this time, Chen Qingzhi raised a matter that had nothing to do with the issue.

Sima Chengen was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how Chen Qingzhi would mention this at this time, but because of the particularity of Chen Qingzhi and Xu Da's identities, he had always respected the two of them very much, even though he was puzzled, he still nodded and responded patiently.

"I heard that the north is bitter cold, the big tribes are a little better, some small and medium-sized tribes at the bottom, the living environment is extremely bad, every year winter comes, starvation and freezing to death are countless, in tribal conflicts, being annexed and eliminated is a common thing, and the people have suffered for a long time... I don't know if it's or not?" As if he didn't see the anxiety of Sima Chengen and the others, Chen Qingzhi still stroked his beard and said.

Sima Chengen almost didn't scold his mother, and he was full of slander in his heart for the kind of literati who like to beat around the bush.

Some of the others looked impatient, some frowned, and some thoughtful.

Xu Da didn't understand Chen Qingzhi's thoughts at first, but now that he knows, he can't help but give the other party a thumbs up in his heart, but he didn't interject, he doesn't like to steal the limelight.

"Yes!" Sima Chengen said with a calm face, "What does Ziyun want to say?"

"Hehe, don't be anxious about the commander!" Chen Qingzhi is still the same old look, Sima Chengen really wants to hammer down according to his handsome face.

"Commander's instructions. The reason why Chenggong County is in a dilemma for us is because they also have their own difficulties, after all, animal husbandry is the pillar of Chenggong County, we have taken away nearly 1,000 herdsmen at once, which is too big a blow to Chenggong County, which has only 8,000 people, they will not agree to us no matter what, they can give 200, it is indeed as they said, it is a support for the central policy, otherwise, they will definitely do a dime..."Chen Qingzhi said lightly.

"Deputy Commander Chen, are you talking for them? Can't you see that you still like to think about others?" On the side, the regimental governor Wang Xiaowu said in a weird manner, this guy is a pure martial artist, and he has long been unhappy with the little white-faced Chen Qingzhi, especially this Chen Qingzhi is defenseless, but he is in front of him as soon as he comes.

"Wang Duji doesn't need to say that, I'm just talking about the facts! This matter itself can't talk about who is right and who is wrong, and the positions are different!" Chen Qingzhi said lightly, "Commander, Qingzhi has an idea, maybe he can make Chenggong County relax!"

"Oh?" Sima Chengen's originally impatient expression changed instantly, and he said with a sincere face: "Ziyun is worthy of a generation of Confucian generals, please speak quickly!"

"As I said earlier, Chenggong County is reluctant to cooperate because they lack herdsmen, not because they oppose the formation of the Third Cavalry Regiment, which is easy to do... They need herdsmen, and we can help them solve this problem!" said Chen Qingzhi.

"How can we have herdsmen?" said Wang Xiaowu.

Sima Chengen also thought the same as Wang Xiaowu at first, but as soon as he thought of the northern grassland that Chen Qingzhi mentioned before for no reason, and what tribes survived hard, he knew what Chen Qingzhi had in mind, and his eyes couldn't help but glow, and he called out a clever plan in his heart.

"Hahaha... Ziyun is a great talent, I might as well too!" Sima Chengen laughed, "Ziyun Bodhisattva has a heart, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and the people of the grassland tribe are really lucky to meet Ziyun!"

"Commander, you..." Wang Xiaowu looked at Sima Chengen with a confused expression.

Therefore, we have the responsibility and obligation to rescue them, to help them get out of the sea of suffering, and to find another good land for them... Chenggong County, with abundant water and grass, pastures, is not a place of horse running, surrounded by the sea, not afraid of strong neighbors, and protected by my China, not afraid of food and clothing, it is really a godsend. Sima Chengen said impassionedly, "I should invite the king, do not spare the land to calm the people, and summon me Huaxia Huanghuang Tianben." ”

"What the commander said is very true!" Xu Da was the first to speak in support, but he also added a suggestion, and only listened to him: "Such a meritorious thing, I want to be as kind as Venerable Zhang County, and I will definitely be unwilling, why don't the commander join hands with Zhang Xianzun to achieve a good story?"

"Tiande is reasonable!" Sima Chengen nodded in agreement, and then he asked, "Can the fleet of the Northern Chamber of Commerce go back?" Gan Ning's warship had already returned, and if he wanted someone to bring the song back, the fastest way was to trouble the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

"Not yet... But I've heard Yuwen Zhao say that it seems like I'll go back tomorrow. "Xu Da arrested.

"Trouble Tiande to run, let Yuwen Zhao stay and wait for my news!" Sima Chengen said, "I'll go to the county government to visit Zhang Xianzun now." ”

"No!"

......

Sure enough, as Xu Da expected, Zhang Yong seemed very impatient at first, if he didn't lose face, he wouldn't even bother to see it, but when Sima Chengen said his intention and Chen Qingzhi's suggestion, his attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he gladly agreed to the joint letter, and praised Chen Qingzhi even more, saying "worthy of being a disciple of the Holy Gate" or something, Sima Chengen secretly rolled his eyes.

The next day, Yuwen Zhao personally took the folds handed over to him by Sima Chengen and returned by boat.

March 4, 7th year of China.

When Li Kangzheng returned from inspecting the growth of winter wheat outside, he received a joint letter from Sima Chengen and Zhang Yong.

"Huh?" After reading the content of the fold, Li Kang raised his eyebrows, showed an interested look, and hurriedly rang the bell to summon Fang Yizhi.

"Your Majesty..."Fang Yizhi said respectfully after he came in.

"Guan Zhong, Minister of Internal Affairs, Yang Pingwei, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Guo, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Yan Lide, Vice Minister of Construction, and Sang Hongyang, Minister of Finance, came quickly. Li Kang said the name of the person lightly.

"No!"

......

"Let's take a look first, and then express your own opinions!" After everyone came, Li Kang didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the fold to Guan Zhong and said, while he sat on a chair and drank tea.

Guan Zhong had actually read it beforehand, so he just flipped through it, and after determining which book it was, he handed it to Yang Pingwei on the side.

Everyone jumped to watch it, and they roughly understood the main content of the fold, so it only took five minutes for the fold to return to Li Kang's hands.

Li Kang put down the teacup, looked at them directly, and didn't speak, the meaning was obvious, just waiting for them to say first.

Several people glanced at each other, and Guan Zhong, who was still the boss, spoke first, and his words were concise and to the point, only three words.

"The minister agrees!"

And then, everybody blinked, and that's gone?

And Guan Zhong, after finishing speaking, the old god lowered his head and looked at his toes.

This thing is simple, agree is agree, disagree and disagree, well, disagree and say the reason, but agree and don't need it, the reason has been written in the fold, how do you want others to say?

Everyone thought about it, this is indeed the reason, so soon some people expressed their attitudes, and Zhao Guo, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, and Yang Pingwei, Minister of Foreign Affairs, all directly agreed with Guan Zhong.

After all, it is Chenggong Island, surrounded by the sea on all sides, and there is no invasion by foreign enemies, but there is no need to worry about the tribes moving over and making a big rebellion! The ships are all in the hands of Huaxia, what do you do to rebel?

After thinking about it for a while, Yan Lide, the vice minister of construction, also agreed, after all, this matter is indeed not harmful to Huaxia, and there is no harm to its own interests, so there is no reason to oppose it.

But these are all expected by Li Kang, the most surprising thing for Li Kang, this time the Wannian opposition Sang Hongyang actually did not chatter, and directly voted in favor.

Li Kang glanced at Sang Hongyang quite unaccustomedly, but the other party did not have a little abnormal consciousness, and did not care about the surprised eyes around him.

But soon Li Kang understood this guy's selfishness.

Don't forget that the county magistrate of Chenggong County, who signed the joint letter, was the deputy minister of finance before, and it was Sang Hongyang's direct subordinate, and the two had worked together for many years.

Unlike the general first-in-command and second-in-command, Sang Hongyang has a good relationship with the two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Finance (the other is Liu Yan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, who was killed by another cattle man Yang Yan in history), and the last benefit of this immigration is Zhang Yong, the county commander of Chenggong County, and Sang Hongyang naturally has no reason to dismantle the stage.

Of course, this is also related to the low cost of this migration.
