"Ah Hui is going to take care of the horse for his father?"

Gao Huan looked at Gao Cheng's gaze becoming more and more gloomy, and the meaning was unclear.

"Father, the child is not delusional about getting involved in the deployment of war horses, but he just thinks back to the prosperity of animal husbandry in the Great Wei in the past, and compared with the current situation, it is inevitable to sigh, so he made a statement to his father."

Gao Cheng said calmly.

Gao Huan was relieved.

He also knew the once prosperous animal husbandry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, it was known as a million horses, and after the unification of the north, the war with Rouran was repeated, and the most fruitful one was in 429 years, Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao broke Rouran, obtained a million horses, and robbed a wave of high chariots on the way back to the division, and captured horses, cattle, and sheep totaling more than one million.

Of course, making a fortune is not only by robbing, but also by providing a steady stream of war horses for the Northern Wei army in the state-owned pastures throughout Monan, Hexi, Shanxi, and Hebei.

However, as the dynasty is towards the end of its life, no matter how good Ma Zheng is, it will collapse, resulting in a shortage of war horses in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After occupying Hebei, the original horse-producing land, Gao Huan only gathered 2,000 horses in the decisive battle of Hanling.

It wasn't until he captured Jinyang and searched for Roman horses from the pastures of Bingzhou that there were enough war horses to support Dou Tai to run three hundred miles in one day and night.

After capturing Xiurong Chuan, Gao Huan buried Erzhu Zhao and pacified his subordinates, and immediately inspected the Xiurongchuan Ranch operated by the Erzhu clan for several generations, which is also the largest source of Gao's war horses.

"What are Hui's plans?"

Removing the doubts in his heart, Gao Huan asked Gao Cheng in detail about his thoughts on reconstructing Ma Zheng.

"The child, please transfer the excellent horse breeds of Rongchuan, set up pastures in Henan and Hebei, and breed war horses."

Gao Cheng suggested.

"Henan."

Gao Huan groaned, and then asked:

"But to the west of Shiji (Huaxian County, Henan) and east of Hanoi (Qinyang, Henan) to re-establish Henan pastures?"

"It was the site where Emperor Xiaowen ran back then."

When Emperor Xiaowen moved south to Luoyang, he chose to set up a horse farm between Shiji and Hanoi to breed war horses in preparation for the future unification of the north and the south.

Gao Huan thought about it for a long time when he heard this, but still refused:

"Reconstructing Ma Zheng, it costs a lot, but the effect will be long-lasting, Kansai Yuwentai is not my opponent, I am afraid that Henan, Hebei pastures have not been produced, Yuwentai has long been destroyed by me, and the Jiangnan water network is dense, if you want to figure it, when the water division is Xing, mainly to build ships."

Gao Huan's confident appearance gave Gao Cheng a great shock.

But he still touted:

"Yuwentai and Xiao Yan are just people waiting to die, what my father wants to do is to lead 300,000 horsemen, attack Rouran in the north, shock the desert, make all ethnic groups subdued, and achieve the name of the supreme khan."

Gao Huan's eyes lit up:

"What a khan!"

"The heavenly khan who is respected by all the tribes of the desert!"

Gao Cheng said solemnly.

Gao Huan laughed when he heard this:

"Hahaha! Day Khan! What a day Khan! ”

But after laughing, I made it difficult for the expense:

"It's not that my father doesn't think about attacking Hu Lu in the north, whether he can postpone the matter of Ma Zheng and spend money and grain on the top priority."

Everyone knows the advantages of resetting the horse administration, Gao Huan used to be blushing for three hundred war horses, but now he is shelving the horse administration, in the final analysis, it is still the reconstruction of the horse administration, the loss of money and food, and the slow effect.

Gao Cheng also knew that money and food were the key, so he proposed:

"Now that the four seas are in service, my father and the prince's party are out of town, why not take this opportunity to search the household registration and increase the number of tax households."

Gao Huan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Who can preside over this?"

"The child is willing to take on this important duty for his father."

Gao Huan smiled when he heard this:

"Why does this matter have to be done by Ah Hui himself, so it will be presided over by Gao Longzhi."

gave Gao Longzhi a beautiful errand, made meritorious achievements, and should have promoted him and entrusted him with heavy use, and this errand that offended people was handed over to him.

Gao Cheng does have a different opinion:

"The father loves and cares, and he has a sense of guilt, but before the official inspection, Gao Long's fear was difficult to avoid, and the child thought that he was difficult to take on the big responsibility, so please let him be."

"Ah Hui is not worried about being resented for this move?"

Gao Huan said in surprise.

Gao Cheng did not flinch:

"The child is only afraid of losing his love to his father, as long as his father loves Cheng and Xincheng, even if the words of others are like knives, what is there to fear!"

Gao Huan was deeply moved, and he promised:

"If this can be done, my father will hand over the reconstruction of Ma Zheng to you."

The previous suspicion was just that Gao Cheng wanted to take the opportunity to get involved in the deployment of war horses, but if he reconstructed the horse administration, it would take a long time, and when it was time to harvest, he was afraid that it would be difficult to see it.

"It is a child's duty to serve his father, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything else."

Faced with Gao Cheng's resignation, Gao Huan said solemnly:

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if you have a fault, I will be stingy with the reward, how can I serve the people of the world, Ah Hui, you have made a meritorious contribution to the rescue of Dou Tai this time, and you have done a good job, I will ask the court for an order to add you to the post of secretary of the ministry, do you know my expectations?"

"The child understands."

"Let's talk about it."

"The father gave Cheng the secretary of the ministry, not to let Cheng install the party, but to rectify the rule of the officials."

Gao Huan laughed when he heard this:

"Fathers! Fathers! My son is gifted and intelligent, and he should be the successor of the family business. ”

Gao Cheng felt that he was a donkey, and hung a carrot in front of him, on which were written the words 'when he succeeded the family business'.

After laughing, Gao Huan patiently told Gao Cheng about the shortcomings of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When it comes to the shortcomings of the Northern Wei Dynasty, one person can't bypass it, and that is Emperor Xiaowen.

Emperor Xiaowen set the family name and raised the Han gate valve, even if he sacrificed the Daibei warriors, the official position of the imperial court still could not meet the needs of the Xianbei nobles and Han men who went south after they grew stronger.

In 499 AD, Emperor Xiaowen died, and twenty years later, that is, in 519 AD, Zhang Zhongyu asked for a new revision of the regulations on the election of officials, and did not allow military generals to be converted into civilian positions and included in the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty.

On the surface, this is Zhang Zhongyu's brain, and he killed his father and brother because of it.

But the essence is a power confrontation between the gate lord and the warrior, for the scholar, the position can not even meet their own internal needs, how can they be willing to give the warrior a piece of the pie.

After the Luoyang Mutiny, in order to appease the warriors, Empress Dowager Hu promised that the warriors could still be transferred to civilian positions and be promoted.

However, the forbidden army killed the two positions vacated by the Zhang family's father and son, and it could not solve the current situation of more monks and less porridge.

During this period, Cui Liang, a native of Qinghe, was appointed as the secretary of the ministry and was pushed out by everyone to solve this problem.

Cui Liang thought of a way to re-stipulate the official selection system, called the suspension of the year.

The so-called suspension of the year, the main purpose is one sentence, the selection of officials does not ask about talent, who has been a candidate for a long time, who is on the list.

The method of suspending the year seems fair, but the essence is the suppression of the warriors by the gate lords.

First of all, they have to get through the ranks of martial artists, and then turn to civilian positions to continue to boil, how can they wait for civilian positions for a better time than scholars.

It is precisely because it is in line with the interests of the scholars and the gate lords that Cui Liang has successively adopted the suspension of the year in the system of selecting officials.

This system continues to this day.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Erzhu clan's henchmen, as well as the Gao clan's henchmen, and the Yuwentai henchmen in Guanxi.

In these years, the strongest soldiers and horses are the biggest truth, otherwise Gao Cheng was appointed as the governor of Gyeonggi at the age of fourteen and the secretary of Shangshuling.

However, not everyone is qualified to become a member of the Gao clan, and all the cronies of the Gao clan are assassins when they go out of the town, and other official candidates continue to follow the rules of suspension.

Promotion depends on seniority, and it is also the fundamental reason for the corruption of officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Except for Jane's lucky man in the hearts of the Gao family's father and son, as well as people with noble conduct, who has the motivation to govern with heart.

There is no cruelty to the people, mediocrity is already a conscience, and corruption is not a crime in this era.

Gao Huan patiently told Gao Cheng about the corruption of the current officials, Gao Cheng actually knew it very well, but he still pretended to be taught.

"Ah Hui, after you serve in the ministry, you must be more diligent, and discuss with Sima Ziru, Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi and others in case of trouble."

Small kiosk

Gao Huan taught earnestly.

"The child knows."

Gao Huan was silent for a long time, and then said:

"If you really have no time to separate, you will hand over the household registration to Gao Longzhi, and your father will still allow you to be the abbot of Ma Zheng."

Gao Cheng nodded in response.

The two fathers and sons talked for a long time, and when Gao Cheng parted, he wanted to stop talking.

Gao Huan asked:

"What's the matter with Ah Hui?"

Gao Cheng bit his lip, but still relieved himself and asked:

"Cheng heard that his father had allowed Zhu Hunyuan to merge with the state assassination, why didn't his father grant him this position."

"It is important to be in the state, and you can't do it if you are not a confidant."

"The enemy of the father and the king is only related to Xiyu Wentai, but Zhu Hunyuan would rather abandon the land of Qin and Wei than attach himself to Yuwentai, and lead the people across the desert to vote, and the child can use his life to guarantee this person's loyalty."

"This..."

Gao Huan fell into hesitation.

Gao Cheng continued:

"If in the future, if the father induces the people who surrender to Kansai with profit, the person asks the father back, 'Can Zhu Hunyuan get the history of the state assassination', what should the father say. Cheng thought that it would be better to temporarily appoint him and assassinate the state, so as to block the tongue of the people in the world, and then change him to another place, and others could not accuse his father of not keeping his old promise. ”

Gao Huan heard Gao Cheng say this, and immediately knew what this kid had in mind, so he was waiting for him here.

As Gao Huan said, the history of the state is important and noble, and the county of Kanto Prefecture can only be compared with Sizhou, where Luoyang is located.

Gao Cheng started Zhu Hunyuan's idea again.

"If you want Zhu Hunyuan to say it directly, it's not pleasant to twist and turn."

Gao Huan said angrily.

Gao Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, giving birth to a son is like a father.

Gao Huan still agreed to Gao Cheng's request, and only explained one sentence to let himself and Zhu Hunyuan make it clear, so as not to stay for a long time and assassinate the history of the state, and be unwilling to be transferred.

For Gao Huan, although Zhu Hunyuan is a Huaishuo person, he is not a descendant, and his subordinates are only 3,000 people.
