"As long as it is taught, Fengzhou's soldiers and horses are enough to defeat the pirates who dare to harass them."
"I will also send naval troops to escort our caravan. We don't have to worry about those pirates coming to rob us."
After saying that, Xu Moyou kept sighing.
"The key now is that without a reliable identity, there is no good reason to build a ship."
Want an identity?
This is not easy for Qin Xiao.
But what Qin Xiao cares about is that Xu Mo actually knows how to train soldiers? !
For a moment, Qin Xiao thought of the well-trained police officers in Chong County.
"How do you know how to train soldiers at such a young age?"
Xu Mo snorted: "What's so strange, I've even created a unique way to train soldiers."
Hear the corners of Qin Xiao's mouth twitching.
"You probably have never been in the military. How dare you talk about military affairs on paper?"
Xu Mo came to Qin Xiao's side and said mysteriously:
"Mr. Qin, you are right."
"But there are many capable people and strangers in the world. It doesn't mean that if you have never been a soldier, you don't know how to train."
"My military training method is definitely no worse than the military training today."
Hear Xu Mo boasting like this
Instead, Qin Xiao's feverish heart cooled down.
This kid Xu Mo is just talking nonsense.
He is a corrupt official.
Are you so crazy about being greedy for money that you actually think that the military training method you came up with is better than that of the veteran generals in the army? !
You know, many of the generals who followed Qin Xiao to bring peace to the world are still alive.
Let him Xu Mo go to train troops.
This is going to be a big joke.
Qin Xiao was too lazy to respond and refused directly.
"That won't work. The risk is too great to do it."
"Once a caravan goes out to sea, it attracts swarms of pirates. If the soldiers and horses along the coast cannot stop the pirates, then they will definitely come ashore, causing harm to the people along the coast."
"You can't say that you don't care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people just to make money."
At this Xu Mo gave a thumbs up and kept praising him.
"Mr. Qin is really a patriotic man. He cares about the country and the people, and he has feelings."
"Completely different from those businessmen who only have profit in their eyes."
"You can't tell me that he is a good man who understands the suffering of the people."
Qin Xiao glanced at him and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to flatter us so much."
Xu Mo straightened his expression.
"Mr. Qin, I am not talking nonsense."
"I can see that you are also a person who cares about the sufferings of the people."
"I want to ask you, if there is a grain variety with a yield of hundreds of shi per mu, would you like 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 are bragging!"
Xu Mo shook his head.
"Look, do I look like a braggart? I have always cared about the country and the people. Just like Mr. Qin, how could I lie to you just to go to sea?"
Xu Mo said it with full confidence and no guilt at all.
Wei Yuanzhang didn't believe it: "You have never been to the sea, how do you know there is such food?"
Xu Mo leisurely said: "Because I have no need to lie to you."
"It's also because I have actually seen with my own eyes the kind of grain that produces hundreds of stones per acre."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is that?"
Xu Mo smacked his lips: "It's called potato, it's oval in shape."
"Potatoes don't look like much, but the yield per unit can really reach 180 kilograms."
"If we go overseas and introduce potato seeds to Dazhou, think about it, how many people's food ration problems can be solved?"
Xu Mo patted Qin Xiao's shoulder affectionately and said meaningfully: "Mr. Qin, you care so much about the people, you definitely don't want to see them go hungry!"
Qin Xiao ignored Xu Mo, he was still immersed in shock.
potato?
I heard what he said was true. Is it true?
Xu Mo was still trying to persuade Qin Xiao: "I know that going to sea goes against the court's policy."
"But Mr. Qin, when the emperor sees the potatoes with a yield of hundreds of stones per acre, he will definitely be very happy. At least he will be able to make up for it."
"Besides, you are also a member of the royal family. I heard that the current emperor values family ties very much, so there is no way he will kill you for this."
This is true.
In order to stabilize the country, Qin Xiao was merciless to the founding ministers of the imperial court, but he was extremely kind to his children and relatives.
Qin Xiao thought.
If he really brought back that potato seed, the significance would be greater than how much money he made.
Qin Xiao was finally persuaded.
"Well, if there really are things like you mentioned overseas, we should get them back at all costs."
Xu Mo raised his hands in agreement.
"I know that Mr. Qin has general knowledge, so it's settled."
Hearing Xu Mo's praise, Qin Xiao was in a good mood.
At this time.
A servant came in to report.
"Sir, the other adults are already here, just waiting for you to come over."
Xu Mo nodded.
"I know."
"Tell them to prepare the money first, and I will be there immediately."
Wait until the servants leave.
Qin Xiao became curious.
Xu Mo met with officials. Why did they ask them to prepare money?
He couldn't help but ask: "Can we go with you to meet the officials of Fengzhou?"
Xu Mo thought Qin Xiao wanted to make friends with officials to pave the way for doing business.
"Then what's the problem? I will take you to see him personally."
Xu Mo agreed happily.
In the front yard living room.
The servant told Xu Mo's words to the waiting officials.
"My lords, Sir Xu will be here immediately."
The officials laughed.
"It's easy to say, we'll just wait."
Some high-ranking officials were sitting there drinking tea and chatting.
Among them, Zhu Jingwen also took a sip of tea.
If he hadn't offended Chen Yong and been demoted to Fengzhou, he would have been regarded as an elder and important minister in the court.
Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jingwen smiled at his other colleagues: "Master Xu is late, he must be discussing a big deal."
The officials all agreed: "That's because many of us have good hearts, so we can make money."
Zhu Jingwen also nodded: "Yes, thanks to Master Xu's blessing, we people can live a good life."
Previously.
When Xu Mo first took office as the prefect of Fengzhou, Zhu Jingwen was very unconvinced.
A young 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 completely new look and construction is in full swing.
Moreover, those of them who were officials had a very comfortable life.
You can also discuss business in the elegant brothel.
The life is no worse than that of the powerful people in the capital.
In addition, Xu Mo also paid them money every month.
Let me ask, who doesn’t love silver?
