And the turmoil caused by this poetry meeting did not stop there, but Guo Ying left the scene in a hurry and went to Zhao's manor, and did not have time to know.

However, with the foreshadowing at the poetry meeting, Guo Ying's appeal is far from being comparable to the past.

When he mentioned again that he was going to the western frontier, the children of the Zhao clan said that they would bring their own bows and horses, and go into battle with him to kill the enemy and recover the rivers and mountains.

Although there is no one in the Zhao family, they still have a lot of roots in the township, and Guo Ying's uncle Zhao Poyu brought him two hundred athletes in an instant.

As far as Zhao Poyu is concerned, his nephew has the ambition to make contributions and shine on the lintel, and he, who is an uncle, naturally wants to help.

And the children of the Zhao family follow Guo Ying, of course, there are benefits, meritorious service rewards can at least be guaranteed, in addition, promotion is definitely faster than being a small soldier.

Moreover, Guo Fu will definitely not say anything to their families, and a piece of money and food is indispensable.

However, Guo Ying will not refuse to come, not to mention that the emperor will most likely make him a small official, even if he is a big official, he can't afford to support so many people.

"Uncle, I can't afford to support so many people." Guo Ying said with a smile.

"Look, look, what is being said!" Zhao Poyu pretended to be angry, but actually joked happily.

"You and your mother have grown up under my watch, although your mother has been in the deep boudoir over the years, and it is inconvenient for me to move around, but the love of our uncle and nephew has been cut for eight lifetimes, can I still let you break the bank?"

"To tell you the truth, I just want these unsuccessful people to follow you, ask for an official status, let them stay in the township and fight with those young Wuling young cockfights and galloping horses, flying eagles and lackeys, fighting and killing people, sooner or later I have to put my life into it!

Rather than this, it is better to go to the northwest and serve the country, even if it is a death, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death! ”

The word Wuling is originally a place name, derived from the five Han Dynasty emperor mausoleums next to Chang'an City, the Changling Tomb of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, the Tomb of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, the Yang Tomb of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Mausoleum of Emperor Mao of the Han Dynasty, and the Ping Tomb of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

Later, because the surrounding Wuling was a place where the rich lived, "Wuling" generally referred to the powerful and wealthy families, and the poets also mostly took "Wuling Young" as a classic for the children of the young or heroic youth.

Many poems in the Tang Dynasty mentioned them, and Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty once wrote a poem saying, "I am willing to be a light child of Wuling, born in Zhenguan Kaiyuan, fighting cocks and dogs for a lifetime, and I don't know the safety of heaven and earth." ”

"......" Guo Ying heard that the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said in her heart that this is really not entirely a question of whether you can afford to raise it, the key is whether it is a question of whether it can be overrun.

The emperor allowed the Guo family to raise guards, but that was the honor of Guo Ziyi, if he Guo Ying really had hundreds of guards, it was estimated that there would be a royal history who would immediately jump out and make two noises to become famous.

Now he doesn't have a good reputation in the court, and if he adds another charge of raising a private army, it is estimated that the emperor will not tolerate him.

Thinking about this, Guo Ying hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Uncle is kind, nephew understands it, but the saint was furious because the mansion of the king of Fufeng County exceeded the control of Longyan, if I bring so many children and followers, it is inevitable that there will be traitors in the court who use the topic to play ......"

This is not a big deal, but Guo Ying doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

Not necessarily.

"This ......" Seeing Guo Ying's serious expression, obviously not shirking, Zhao Poyu couldn't help but groan.

After a while, he sighed and said, "That's it, since you have concerns, my uncle is not reluctant.

However, I know that you have five elder brothers, and I am afraid that you will not have enough money, so your uncle will give you 3,000 yuan of wealth first, and the right should be a mind, which you can't shirk. ”

"This ......"

Guo Ying was stunned when she heard this.

Three thousand taels is nothing to him, but for the small family of the Zhao family, it is by no means a small amount, after all, the cupbearer system is more complicated in these years, and the winemaker not only has to buy the koji sold by the government, but also has to pay the wine money, which even accounts for half of the wine price.

Overall, the profit is not as impressive as imagined, excluding labor, that is, two or three small profits.

Guo Ying was still hesitating at this time, but Zhao Poyu had already stuffed the voucher (equivalent to a check) on the cabinet of Doujiafang in Xishi into his hand.

"If you refuse, your uncle will have no shame to visit your mother in Guo's mansion in the future!"

Hearing the resoluteness in Zhao Poyu's tone, Guo Ying didn't dare to shirk it anymore, so he smiled heartily and said, "Uncle is so generous, how can my nephew refuse?"

It's just that I came today to bring my uncle a small gift, I hope my uncle likes it. ”

"Oh, what is it?"

"It's a recipe that I spent a lot of money pursuing."

After that, Guo Ying handed a piece of tissue paper stained with pen and ink from his arms to Zhao Poyu.

Zhao Poyu was puzzled: "What recipe is worthy of your solemnity?" ”

Guo Ying didn't explain, only responded vaguely, saying that it was handed down from the Shang Dynasty, and the wine in the wine pond meat forest refers to this wine.

Zhao Poyu took the tissue paper and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more obvious the surprise on his face became.

The Zhao family has been a drunken family for generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family of winemakers, but this is the first time he has heard of the distillation method mentioned in this recipe.

In fact, it is not to blame that he is unheard, although there is a talk of shochu in this era, but there are still hundreds of years before the real distilled spirits come out on a large scale.

After reading it three times in a row, Zhao Poyu's heart became more and more agitated, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If what is written on this recipe is true, it will be an unprecedented innovation in the brewing industry." ”

Guo Ying smiled and said nothing, and said in her heart that this is of course.

The recipe for distilling liquor was written down at the beginning of his crossing, but it has never come in handy, after all, with his identity, it is too bad to compete with the people for profit.

Now use it to give it a favor to the Zhao family and uncle, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and Guo Ying said goodbye and left.

In the end, he only picked twenty skilled athletes with bows and horses to follow.

After all, he also has to take into account the side branch of the Guo family and the chivalrous young man of the Jingshi, in case there are other generals who want to follow, he can't refuse, right?

Moreover, there are many guards around him, and he thinks that if he pulls this waste wood to the ship, he may not be able to help it at a critical time in the future.

After the last Daming Palace face, Guo Ying's expectations for the emperor Li Shi, who was eager for quick success, had become zero, and a not very mature idea had faintly sprouted in his heart.

That is, to do everything to climb up, along with the people's hearts, expand the soldiers and horses, and wait for the "Jingyuan Mutiny" four or five years later, directly follow Cao Cao's banner of saving the driver to rob the car, and then play the banner of "Fengtianzi to please not be a minister......

Of course, the difficulty of this idea to operate may be greater than that of Cao Cao's script of welcoming the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, and even if it is really successful, it is very likely to end up with a thousand people pointing out and the enemy of the world, after all, the Tang Dynasty at this time is not as good as the end of the Han Dynasty, and the people's hearts are still there.

If one is not good, the nine clans will be wiped out.

But judging from the current situation, there is no room for him to turn back when he goes to the army, so Guo Ying naturally has to take precautions.

The so-called "those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain".

Moreover, Guo Ying also has ambition in his heart, and he sometimes thinks in his heart that Sima Yi can sharpen a sword in more than ten years and seize the foundation of four generations of the Cao family in one day.

I, Guo Ying, can't I sharpen a sword in five years and seize the foundation of the eight generations of Li Tang?
