"As long as it is taught, the soldiers and horses of Toyosu are enough to defeat the pirates who dare to harass them."

"This official will also send a navy to escort our caravan, so don't be afraid of those pirates coming to rob us."

After speaking, Xu Mo kept sighing.

"Now the point is that there is no reliable identity, no good reason to build a ship."

Want an identity?

This is simply not too easy for Qin Xiao.

But what Qin Xiao cares about is that Xu Mo actually knows the method of military training?!

For a moment, Qin Xiao thought of the well-trained catchers in Chong County.

"You are young, how can you know how to train soldiers?"

Xu Mo snorted: "What's so strange, this official has also created a set of training methods." ”

Listening to the corners of Qin Xiao's mouth, he couldn't stop twitching.

"You probably haven't been in the army at all. Dare to talk on paper? ”

Xu Mo came to Qin Xiao's side and said mysteriously:

"Master Qin, that's right."

"But there are talented people in the world, and they don't necessarily know how to train if they haven't been a soldier."

"This officer's military training method. It is definitely no worse than the training in the army today. ”

Listening to Xu Mo boasting like this

Qin Xiao's feverish heart turned cold.

Xu Mo, this kid, is just talking nonsense.

He's a corrupt official.

I want to be greedy for money and go crazy, but I actually feel that I slapped my head and came up with a training method that is stronger than the veterans in the army who have been in battle for a long time?!

You must know that many of the generals who followed Qin Xiao to pacify the world back then are still alive.

Let him Xu Mo go to training.

It's going to be a big joke.

Qin Xiao was too lazy to take care of it, and refused directly.

"That's not going to work, it's too risky to do."

"Once a caravan goes out to sea, it attracts hordes of pirates. If the soldiers and horses along the coast cannot stop the pirates, then they will surely go ashore and bring disaster to the people along the coast. ”

"It can't be said that in order to make money, I don't care about the life and death of the people."

When Xu Mo said this, he gave a thumbs up and couldn't stop praising him.

"Old man Qin, he is really patriotic, worried about the country and the people, and has feelings."

"It's completely different from those businessmen who only have profit in their eyes."

"You didn't say that he was a good man who knew the sufferings of the people."

Qin Xiao glanced at him and said lightly: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly, you don't need to talk to us like this." ”

Xu Mo straightened his face.

"Old Man Qin, this official is not talking nonsense."

"It can be seen that you are also a person who cares about the suffering of the people."

"This official asks you, if there is a grain variety with a yield of up to 100 stones per mu, do you want to plant it?"

Qin Xiao was so shocked by these words that he blurted out:

"What kind of grain? , can produce hundreds of stones?! ”

He looked at Xu Mo in disbelief.

"You're bragging!"

Xu Mo shook his head.

"You see, does this official look like a braggart? This official has always been worried about the country and the people, just like Old Man Qin, where would he lie to you in order to go out to sea. ”

Xu Mo's oath is full of promise, and he is not empty at all.

Wei Yuanzhang didn't believe it: "You haven't been to the sea again, how do you know that there is this kind of food?" ”

Xu Mo said leisurely: "Because there is no need for this official to lie to you." ”

"It's also because this official has really seen with his own eyes that kind of grain that yields 100 stones per mu."

Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What is that?" ”

Xu Mo smacked his lips: "It's called a potato, oval shape." ”

"Potatoes look inconspicuous, and the yield per mu can really reach 180 catties."

"If we go to sea to introduce potato seeds into Da Zhou, do you think about it, how many people's food rations can be solved?"

Xu Mo patted Qin Xiao's shoulder affectionately, and said meaningfully: "Old man Qin, you feel so sorry for the people, you definitely don't want to see the people starving!" ”

Qin Xiao ignored Xu Mo, he was still immersed in shock.

Potato?

Is it true that what he says is the Word?

Xu Mo was still persuading Qin Xiao: "This official knows that going to sea goes against the policy of the imperial court. ”

"But Old Man Qin, when the emperor sees the potatoes with a yield of hundreds of stones per mu, he will definitely be very happy, at least he will be able to make up for it."

"Besides, you are also a royal family, and now the emperor hears that he attaches great importance to family affection, so it is impossible to kill you for this."

That's true.

For the sake of the stability of the country, Qin Xiao showed no mercy to the founding ministers of the imperial court, but he was very good to his children and relatives.

Qin Xiao thought to himself.

If he really brought back the seed of that potato, it would mean more than the amount of money he earned.

Qin Xiao was finally moved.

"Well, if there really is such a thing as you said overseas, we should get it back at any cost."

Xu Mo raised his hands in agreement.

"This official knows that Old Man Qin knows the general situation, so then it is decided."

Hearing Xu Mo's praise, Qin Xiao was in a good mood for a while.

Then.

Someone came in to report it.

"My lord, the other adults have already arrived, just waiting for you to pass."

Xu Mo nodded.

"I know."

"Tell them to prepare the money first, and the official will go over immediately."

Wait until the next person leaves.

Qin Xiao was curious.

Xu Mo met with officials, why did the officials prepare silver?

He couldn't help asking, "Can we come with you to meet the officials of Fengzhou?" ”

Xu Mo thought that Qin Xiao wanted to make friends with officials and pave the way for business.

"Then what's the problem, the official will take you to meet in person."

Xu Mo agreed very happily.

In the living room in the front yard.

The subordinate told Xu Mo's words to the waiting officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Xu will come over immediately."

The officials all laughed.

"Well, let's just wait."

Some high-ranking officials, sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

Among them, Zhu Jingwen also took a sip of tea.

If he hadn't offended Chen Yong and was demoted to Fengzhou, he would have been regarded as an old minister in the court.

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Jingwen smiled at the other colleagues: "Lord Xu is late, he must be talking about a big business." ”

The officials also agreed: "That is, we have good hearts, so we can make money." ”

Zhu Jingwen also nodded: "Yes, thanks to the blessings of the Lord, we people have just lived a good life." ”

Previously.

When Xu Mo first took office as the prefect of Fengzhou, Zhu Jingwen was very unconvinced.

A hairy boy, the official position actually climbed to his head.

He is an important minister favored by the emperor.

Unexpectedly.

After a while, Zhu Jingwen changed his mind about Xu Mo.

Since Xu Mo came, the situation in Fengzhou has taken on a new look, and construction is in full swing.

Moreover, those of them who are officials, not to mention how comfortable they are in those days.

You can also talk about business in the elegant green building.

Life is no worse than that of the powerful in the capital.

In addition, Xu Mo also gave them silver every month.

Who doesn't love silver?
