Guo Kang does not object to this point of view.
"No matter what, military preparation comes first." He told others: "That's why we said before that we must first reorganize the local people and form an army. Otherwise, if there is any trouble, it will be difficult to deal with it."
"Then what do you think should be done?" Theodora asked.
"We should first find a way to unite more people." Guo Kang began to answer with completely correct truth: "As long as we can win more people, we can deal with the first round of crisis first. When the initial period of time passes, , it will be much easier later.”
"Who can we count on?" Father Marco asked.
"This needs to be investigated in detail." Guo Kang told him: "There is no way to do this. We can only test it this way. I think we can contact Prince Vasily of Moscow. He is the Khanate's most powerful person in the Rus region. A powerful vassal. If we can make an exchange and let him support us, many people will be more honest."
"Looking for Vasily?" Pronsky was greatly surprised: "How is this possible? He will not cooperate honestly."
"As long as the benefits are sufficient, many things can be accommodated." Guo Kang replied: "I do have a plan, but it still requires some experiments. When the technology matures, I believe no one will refuse it."
"Oh? What kind of invention is this?" Lama Wang was very happy.
Guo Kang can often come up with weird things, and everyone in the church knows it well, so it's not too surprising. However, Guo Kang was mysterious this time and only told everyone that this was a powerful weapon that would only be used in decisive battles.
"We can go ahead and investigate. Even if someone organizes and wants to confront us with force, don't be afraid." He told everyone: "I am sure that I will catch all those scoundrels."
"Now we just need to proceed as planned. The recruitment work can also proceed as usual." He said to the somewhat dull Plonsky: "I have already recruited a lot of people here. But in this regard, you will still be needed in the future. How helpful."
"Oh, oh, I will definitely." Pronsky was stunned for a moment before reacting: "But Mr. Guo still needs to be more cautious. As far as I know, many people from all walks of life want to join this new army. There are many people among them whose quality is not up to standard, and there are even people with criminal records.”
"What do you mean?" Guo Kang asked quickly.
"I still have some connections in my hometown." Pronsky said, taking out a booklet: "Someone found this at my house today and brought it to me. It contains records of some Ross thieves who committed crimes in Dadu."
"Some people have always been dissatisfied with them, but they always dare not speak out. However, these people want to die, but they want to join the army." Pronsky shook his head: "The military camp area is not an ordinary slum. These people know The villains took the initiative to cause trouble, and immediately asked someone to write a petition, asking me to file a complaint to give these bad guys some color."
Guo Kang took the book and found that there were indeed many entries written in Greek. After flipping through it, I found the criminal records of several Russians.
"I heard that Mr. Guo was temporarily in charge of these things, so I brought him here." Pronsky regained his composure and said: "If these black sheep can be actively excluded and dealt with according to law, I think we can avoid more incidents." It’s a big problem.”
"It's true - these people are real." Guo Kang looked at the various records of "killing someone" and "raping someone" and frowned: "Junior, I would like to thank Prongs. Mr. Ji."
"This matter has just begun. How can you be so indulgent?" He shook his head and said, "I will take care of it when I get back. I must deal with it strictly."
"Master Guo, just call me Cao Ge." Pronsky said: "We are all Romans, so there is no need to be polite when doing business."
Guo Kang also nodded and responded.
"Then let's do this for now?" Upon seeing this, the Great Lama Wang said nothing more: "I would like to trouble you all and pay more attention to it. I will wait for the results of your investigation first."
Everyone agreed, and the brief meeting came to an end.
Pronsky and Guo Kang discussed a few more words outside the door. Guo Kang said that he still needed more support, while Pronsky patted his chest and promised to introduce a suitable middleman to him. After that, everyone said goodbye to each other politely and left.
When Pronsky walked away, Theodora, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"Did you deceive him on purpose?" she asked.
"Huh?" Guo Kang himself didn't even react.
"I think you started lying about that decisive battle weapon." Theodora said, "That weapon doesn't actually exist."
"Of course. How can there be such a useful thing." Guo Kang recognized it directly: "But how do you know it is fake?"
"If it's true, you definitely won't be able to hold it back now." Theodora said bluntly: "When we meet at noon, you must show off to me first, instead of waiting to see Pronsky and the others and then suddenly throw it away. Come out. So I think you made it up now."
"Uh..." Guo Kang thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case, so he had no choice but to nod.
"Do you think it's useful to scare him like this?" Theodora continued to ask.
"At least it can slow down for a while." Guo Kang replied: "Didn't you notice? The other words may be false, but it is true that he is afraid of Vasily."
"That's true..." Theodora also felt that this was the truth: "In recent years, isn't it normal for Ryazan people to be afraid of Moscow? But during this period of relaxation, what are you going to do?"
"Getting down to business." Guo Kang said: "Cotton weaving and the Agricultural Order really need to be investigated and studied and prepared to do it. In addition, these Russians who have been brought in really need to be rectified. "
"Cotton spinning..." Theodora pondered for a moment, but she didn't seem to suspect that this was fake. But she still asked: "How long do you think this industry can continue to promote the economy?"
"Uh... five hundred years is not a problem." Guo Kang also considered it: "Of course I don't think it will be. It is likely that before this time, technology will have made another leap, and everyone will no longer need to produce by hand."
"Five hundred years..." Theodora was a little surprised this time. She shook her head and said, "If I didn't know what you had done before, I probably wouldn't believe it."
"I didn't hide it on purpose." Guo Kang firmly refused to admit that his acting skills were terrible: "Didn't I deceive Pronsky just now?"
"You just coaxed that rich man from Russia." Theodora shook her head disdainfully: "When you looked at the list, were you really angry?"
"Uh, yes..."
"I just said you can't perform this expression." Theodora shrugged and smiled.
