Coming to the door of a mansion, Guo Mo jumped down from the yellow horse and looked carefully at the gate in front of him.

To be honest, if he hadn't asked people to inquire in advance, and the words were clearly marked on the door plaque, Guo Mo would have wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

The power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and the prominent generations have been, who would have thought that the mansion where this person lives would be at most the level of a middle-aged person.

Because now, the owner of this room is in a special period, and he has been nursing at home for several days, engaging in a tug-of-war with the official family, and there are not many visitors in front of the door.

Guo Mo stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker, and in a short time, a gap was opened in the corner door.

"Who are you looking for?"

A young porter poked his head out from inside and looked at Guo Mo's appearance, indicating that he didn't know him.

"Please ask the little brother to give a respect, and say that the new champion of science and technology, the 'Dunwu Army', are both in command and the leader of the 'Imperial City Division' Guo Mo, come to visit."

After Guo Mo finished speaking, he handed over the pre-prepared prayer slip and gift list, and took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and stuffed it into the concierge without a trace.

"This..."

Originally, in the past few days, no one came to visit, and even if someone came, they were all the regulars of the master.

Seeing a hundred taels of silver tickets, the porter was still very hot.

Don't look at Guo Mo's official position, there are two breaking points in just one sentence, this porter really knows.

One is the "Wu Champion", a few days ago, Lin'an City made a lot of noise, who doesn't know this unprecedented "martial arts".

Then there is the "Imperial City Division", after all, this is a special institution, and everyone knows about it.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and give you a message, as for whether the master sees it or not, it's not a small one who can decide."

In the end, the porter decided to give it a try, and at most he was scolded, so that he could get a hundred taels of silver.

Guo Mo thanked him again, the corner door closed again, and Guo Mo waited outside.

About the time of a meal, footsteps sounded again in the door.

The corner door was completely opened, and two people stepped out of it.

They are all young people, and it is clear that one master and one servant.

The servant was the porter who had opened the door just now, and the master was looking at Guo Mo.

"In the Xia Shi Mansion, Your Excellency is the new champion Guo Mo?"

Guo Mo didn't expect that the person who came was the man's son, and he hurriedly bowed.

"It's Guo Mo below, he came recklessly, and invited Shi Gongzi Haihan."

Guo Mo's style made Shi Zhai stunned, this person didn't look like a martial artist at all, but he had a literary temperament.

"Where did the champion say, please inside, my father is waiting in the flower hall."

Guo Mo said "There is labor", so he took the gift, and walked into the door with Shi Zhaizhi, and Huang Huma had his own subordinates to settle it.

Walking in the historical mansion, Guo Mo did not feel the grandeur and luxury at all, but revealed the antique elegance everywhere.

"Is this what is said, the treacherous are loyal, and the vulgar are elegant?"

Guo Mo thought about it, and came to a place.

"Wait a minute, let me go in first to make a statement."

Shi Zhaizhi bowed his hand to Guo Mo and advanced the flower hall.

After a while, it came out again.

"Champion Gong, please come with me." The two of them entered the flower hall.

The flower hall is simply placed, and an old man who is slightly rich sits on the main seat, and there is even a person next to him.

It seems that he is also an official, and he is a little thin compared to the old man in the main position.

Without waiting for others to speak, Guo Mo stepped forward first and bowed to the ground at the old man in the main seat.

"After the end of school, I entered Guo Mo and saw Enxiang."

That's right, Guo Mo came to meet today is the biggest traitor in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan, the prime minister and privy envoy of the dynasty.

No one spoke in the flower hall for a while, whether it was Shi Miyuan, who was in the main position, or the officials who accompanied him, they were all staring at Guo Mo.

In fact, the three of them met in the "Daqing Palace".

Especially those two, they already knew Guo Mo's figure and appearance, but Guo Mo didn't notice them much that day.

"The champion is exempt from the ceremony, Ziyi, watch the tea."

Shi Miyuan's face was expressionless, and he instructed his son to invite Guo Mo to sit down, and personally brought him a bowl of tea, and then stood behind Shi Miyuan.

"Thank you."

Guo Mo arched his hand again and sat down generously on the side, and on the opposite side was the slightly thin official, who was still looking at him.

"I heard that the champion is training in the south of the city, how can he have time to go to the mansion of me, a man who is free?"

Shi Miyuan took the tea bowl, took a sip, and asked.

"Qi Yu is gracious, and he is valued by the official family, and he is given a heavy responsibility. I should have come to the Enxiang Mansion to meet him, but I had been staying in the barracks some time ago, and it happened that the 'Imperial City Division' had some affairs, and the last general had just returned to the city. ”

"Prepare a little courtesy to thank you, and hope to smile."

"Hehe, you can win the championship in one fell swoop, and you hold an important position, it is completely the result of your own efforts, and the appreciation of the official family, what does it have to do with the old man? I'm afraid this gift was sent in the wrong place, right? ”

Shi Miyuan continued to drink tea, and glanced at the gift list placed in front of him.

"The last general heard that Lord Xue, the secretary of the ministry, was instructed by Enxiang to recommend the last general to serve as the 'Imperial City Division'."

"Similarly, seeing the 20,000 elite forbidden troops, the last general also understood in his heart that without the care of the minister, Sanya would not have allocated such an elite to the last general."

"After receiving the generous gifts of grace again and again, if the last general still does not know what to do, is he not a foolish person?"

Guo Mo also got some news in advance, coupled with his own guesses, before he said this.

"Haha, Enxiang, look at this champion Gong, he has a completely 'civil and military' demeanor, and it is not in vain that Enxiang secretly cultivates it."

Shi Miyuan didn't answer, but the guest sitting next to him commented first.

"Haven't asked yet, who is this?"

Seeing that the other party spoke, Guo Mo also bowed his hand to the other party and asked.

"Old man Zhao Rushu."

The guest stroked the three locks of beard under his chin and said with a smile.

It turned out that this person was Zhao Rushu, one of the "Four Woods and Three Murderers", the current secretary of the Criminal Department, and it was rumored that he was also the eighth grandson of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong.

The best at slandering others, opportunistic drillers, actually praise themselves in person?

"It turned out to be Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, in person, and the general was rude."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed respectfully.

Guo Mo came to meet today, just to put on a "surrender" appearance, play a big Song version of "Infernal Affairs", secretly accumulate his own strength, and take the opportunity to weaken the other party's strength.

When the time comes, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

This Moze incident, Guo Mo thought about it afterwards and felt that it was perfect.

Although there were some fortuitous factors, the results were good.

The original "Four Wood and Three Murderers" have now gone to the "One Murderer", and the position of the household servant left by Mo Ze, taking advantage of Shi Miyuan's special situation, the official family has appointed Yue Ke, the commander of the military weapons and the commander of Huaidong, to temporarily replace him.

Yue Ke is Yue Fei's grandson, and is currently the father of Yue Ao, the deputy capital of the "Dunwu Army".

Let him supervise the ordnance superintendent, and then enter the household department, which is obviously for the logistics of the "Dunwu Army", completely sweeping away hidden dangers.

"It's good for young people to know the severity, although you have the title of 'protégé of the Son of Heaven', but after all, the 'martial arts' are led by the Privy Council, strictly speaking, the old man is your serious 'master'."

The "seat master" is the "seat master" of later generations, Guo Mo didn't expect Shi Miyuan to say such a thing, is this a clear way to pull himself on the boat?

Guo Mo will come to do something, today he was originally here to "surrender to sincerity", with such a good incision, how could he not catch it.

Guo Mo hurriedly got up and left his seat again, came to Shi Mi Yuanyuan, and respectfully performed a "apprenticeship".

"Student Guo Mo has seen the 'master', the student is young and shallow, and he will rely on the teachings of Enxiang in the future."

"Haha, good. You don't have any foundation in the court, so if you encounter anything in the future, you might as well talk to the old man first, so that you can dredge up and down. ”

"As for the official family, don't show it for the time being, you are an old man's person. Except for the people here today, the old man doesn't want others to know about our relationship for the time being. ”

Hearing Shi Miyuan say this, both Zhao Rushu and Guo Mo were a little surprised, but they had no choice but to nod their heads.

Now that everyone is related to this "level", it is much easier to talk.

"The old man heard about the 'Sanyuan Building', and then the twenty or so martial arts didn't go to your 'Dunwu Army', and the old man ordered it, so I won't bother you."

"Since you are committed to building a strong team, then the old man will fully support you, and the old man also wants to see how far you can go, I don't know if there are any difficulties?"

Shi Miyuan looked very happy, taking Guo Mo is equivalent to taking down the "Dunwu Army", and Guo Mo is also "raising the Imperial City Division", isn't this much stronger than the original Xia Zhen?

Seeing that Shi Miyuan opened his mouth to ask, how could Guo Mo be polite to him, he also knew that the more polite he was, the more he could be trusted.

"Eun Xiang, the last general is just a soldier after all, and he has dreamed of building an invincible 'iron army' since he was a child, but now it seems that it is indeed very difficult."

"Oh, what a difficulty? Let's hear it. ”

Shi Miyuan picked up the tea bowl again and looked at Guo Mo with a smile.

"Enxiang, it is not difficult to build a strong team that dominates the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but this is not what the last general wants. The last general wanted to build a strong army that far surpassed the armies of the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia, and Mongolia. ”

"If that's the case, the gap in supplies needed is too great. Weapons and armor, our Great Song Dynasty is second to none, but horses are far from enough. ”

"The five thousand 'Dunwu Army' that the last general dreams of, at least the configuration of one person and two horses, if you run a long distance to fight, it is best to be able to have one person and three horses, whether you can do one person and one horse at the moment, the last general has no bottom in his heart."

"One man, three horses?"

Guo Mo's words shocked everyone present.

Just imagine, the entire Southern Song Dynasty did not produce horses, and they all relied on buying them from outside.

The Jin Kingdom, Western Xia, and Mongolia in the north all strictly restricted the sale of horses to the Song Dynasty, intentionally or unintentionally.

At present, the horse source of the Southern Song Dynasty mainly comes from the south and Sichuan region, and the quality of horses is much lower than that in the north.

Even so, there are only more than 10,000 horses a year, and there is no guarantee that all of them are war horses.

Even if all the horses purchased by the whole Song Dynasty every year are given to Guo Mo, it is estimated that it will take two years to get him "one person and three horses", how can he give them all?

"War horses are indeed a rarity in my Great Song Dynasty, and the old man can't take out so much at once. In this way, no matter whether the quality is good or bad, I will first make up enough five thousand horses for you, so that the 'Dunwu Army' can train normally, and then slowly find a way to find a way for the rest. ”

Shi Miyuan didn't refuse, he inexplicably saw a sharp aura in this young man that he had never seen before.

It's not just sharpness, it seems that people can trust him inexplicably, and want to see what kind of miracle he can create.

"Thank you so much!"

This time, Guo Mo was sincerely grateful, and he didn't dare to guarantee that now in the entire Great Song Dynasty, who could solve the problem of five thousand war horses for him at one time, it is estimated that even the official family may not be able to do it.

"Enxiang, why doesn't my Great Song Dynasty pay attention to 'Ma Zheng'?"

Horse administration refers to the management system of the shepherd, training, use and procurement of official horses by successive governments.

After the Great Song Dynasty moved south, Ma Zheng gradually slackened, there was no source of horses, and he couldn't find a place that was too suitable for raising horses, so there was almost only one way to purchase.

And now Ma Zheng is still under the management of the Privy Council.

"Haha, Zhuangyuan Gong, don't you know, my Great Song Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the war horse is completely dependent on the purchase. The so-called Ma Zheng, not to mention that it is almost nothing. ”

Or Zhao Rushu was next to Guo Mo to "solve his doubts".

"The last general got some news, and also did some random analysis, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Guo Mo was a little hesitant, but he looked like he wanted to say something.

"In the old man's place, don't be restrained, young people should still have the vigor they should have, what's the matter with the twilight like that?"

It's rare that Shi Miyuan is really like a teacher, and said in a "teaching" tone, maybe he really doesn't have too good juniors.

"The last general asked the people of the 'Imperial City Division' to pay attention to the movements of the three northern kingdoms, Mongolia, Western Xia, and Jin."

"I found that recently, their forces seem to have moved towards the border of Western Xia. In the early years, the general also traveled in the north, knowing that the Mongols had long wanted to make a move against the Western Xia, and the Jin State was afraid that it would be on the side of the Western Xia. ”

However, the last general felt that even if Western Xia and Jin joined forces, they might not be able to stop the Mongol attack. Therefore, the last general thought, can our Great Song Dynasty also get a piece of the pie from Xixia? ”

Guo Mo asked tentatively, because he knew that this Shi Miyuan was not a person who advocated foreign war.

"You mean, I, the Great Song, also participated in the battle against Western Xia? But the Great Song Dynasty is not bordering Western Xia now. ”

Shi Miyuan didn't understand Guo Mo's intentions for a while.

"Starting the war lightly, I'm afraid it's not the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty, and the last general is talking about solving the problem of war horses."

"Western Xia is located on the border, once there is a war, the most important thing in terms of materials is war horses, and others such as food, and even weapons and armor will be lacking."

"We can secretly contact Western Xia, propose to exchange rice for war horses, and even match some weapons and armor, what we eliminated is considered good in Western Xia."

"This can be done in the name of 'folk'. The same thing can also be exchanged with Jin Guo. ”

"Our purpose is not only to meet the needs of the war horses, but also to make them consume each other. How to do it is not something that the last general can figure out. ”

Guo Mo narrated, Shi Miyuan and Zhao Rushu listened quietly on the side, thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

"Zhuang Yuanlang is far-reaching, this matter is indeed operable, the old man will go back and find someone to sum it up, and there will be a satisfactory answer."

Shi Miyuan thought about it for a long time and didn't make a final decision.

"Daddy—"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the flower hall.

The curtain was lifted, and a woman in an apricot yellow dress came in from the outside, looking at her age of less than ten years.

Seeing Shi Miyuan sitting on the main seat, he walked over with a smile.

"You girl, why haven't you grown up a little bit in the past few years? Don't you see Daddy's guests there? ”

Shi Miyuan said sternly, but there was a rare smile on his face.

"Ming Ke, Zhuang Yuanlang, this is the righteous daughter of the old man, who has been in the mountains for a few years, at least she doesn't understand the world, so the two of you laughed."

"Girl, why don't you hurry over and see your Uncle Zhao and the new Kewu champion?"

Shi Miyuan scolded angrily.

The woman restrained slightly, and first saluted Zhao Rushu, "I've seen Uncle Zhao." ”

Then he turned around and looked at Guo Mo in front of him.

One glance, one glance next, one glance to the left, one glance to the right, seventy-two glances, and finally Guo Mo was embarrassed.

"Ahem-girl, have you seen enough, what kind of system has it become?"

Shi Miyuan, who is sitting on the main seat, can't stand it anymore, this little girl is too embarrassing, right?

I regret it a little, and I have spared no expense over the years to send this girl out to learn martial arts.

However, his own life was exchanged for this girl's biological father back then.

Shi Miyuan has several sons and daughters, but he is most in love with this righteous daughter and loves her the most.

"The little woman has seen the champion-"

Guo Mo couldn't sit there like Zhao Rushu and accept a salute, so he hurriedly stood up.

"The little lady is polite."

Unexpectedly, after the woman finished the salute, she refused to let go of Guo Mo.

"I didn't expect the dignified martial champion to look so fair-skinned? Daddy, are you sure this is Wu Zhuangyuan, not Wen Zhuangyuan? ”

"How can he be so weak and weak? Why don't I compare with him? ”

"Ahem—"

Shi Miyuan unconsciously picked up the tea bowl again.

"That's... Enxiang, if there is nothing to do, the last general will retire first, and it just so happens that the 'Imperial City Division' still has some things to take care of. ”

"Okay, today is the recognition of the door, the matter of the war horse, the old man will take it to heart, and if you encounter anything in the future, you can come to the old man at any time."

"Ziyi, you send the champion Lang on behalf of your father."

Guo Mo didn't dare to stay any longer, and left the flower hall with Shi Zhaizhi.

"Daddy, why did you let Wu Zhuangyuan go? I haven't been able to compete with him yet. ”

Seeing that Shi Miyuan asked his son to send Guo Mo away, the woman was a little unhappy, came to Shi Miyuan's back, and shook his shoulders with her hands.

"Don't worry, stop it, don't shake the old man apart-"

It turned out that the name of Shi Miyuan's righteous daughter was "Mo Chou".

It's a pity that Guo Mo has gone far away and can't hear it.
