Chapter 73 Courageous, but unrealistic
"Come on, I, Mr. Lu, want to hear the difficulties of Cao Dasiong."
Lu Zhi smiled slightly and greeted Cao Ang. Cao Shuo sat beside him... While stroking their little heads, he added: "Let's do this, as long as Cao Dasiong helps me this time and helps the people on the border this time, I, Lu, will take one of your grandsons as a closed disciple, how about it?"
Huo...Lu Zhi's closed disciple.
You should know that Lu Zhi is famous all over the world, and almost one person can represent the Kanto Confucian Sect. The two forces of Guanxi General Sect are related to him. The Cao family will have a very special status in the circle of scholars or generals. What's more, he is also a great Confucian and a war general! Whether it is scripture etiquette or military strategy, learning from him will definitely benefit a lot!
Let the grandson of the Cao family take him as his teacher? To be honest, Cao Song was moved, Cao Ang was moved, and Cao Shu was moved too... Of course, what Cao Shu hoped was that his brother Cao Ang could join Lu Zhi's disciple.
However, after a brief thought, Cao Song shook his head.
"Mr. Lu Zhi, my Cao family has some money now, but you can probably understand the emperor's attitude. If I donate money and open this, I will not give the emperor face. If Your Majesty is furious, how can my Cao family take it?"
Speaking of this, Cao Song stood up and walked left and right, his face adding a bit of sadness.
"There is another point. Even if my Cao family has made up their original foundation and donated ten million yuan. Of course, this money is quite large, but it is still very small in the army? I heard that the horses on the market were hoarded by several major clans and fryed to a high price of 5 million yuan per horse? Lord Lu Zhi thought, is this money enough to form a cavalry? To put it inappropriately, even if His Majesty took out all the money in Wanjin Hall, and the officials donated some generously, it would still not be enough to form a cavalry!"
Cao Song once wrote "On Border Defense" and had an understanding of border wars.
On the other side, it was the Great Plain. When fighting against the Xianbei Hu cavalry, the cavalry was the main force, and the team of ten thousand people was ten thousand horses. According to the current market price, a hundred Cao families could not make up the money.
Therefore... it’s not that I don’t help, but that I can’t help!
Suddenly, Lu Zhi was silent, he was speechless, he was all focused on how to counterattack the Xianbei Huqi, but he ignored the most critical issue - the financial resources of the Han Dynasty...
Admittedly.
Since the sixth year of Xiping, after the expedition against the Xianbei and returned to the fortress, the treasury of the Han Dynasty was completely unable to support it, and a large-scale expedition against the Hu people.
Wow…Lu Zhi’s eyelids trembled for a moment, and he didn’t want to face it, but this is a fact, a fact that cannot be replaced.
"Oh..." With a long sigh, Lu Zhi was helpless. This time he felt so small that he could not realize his ambitions in his chest.
But at this moment, a childish voice came out.
"Then why? The Han Dynasty could not make more money?"
The voice of the singer is very clear, but this is what Xiao Cao Shu said! "Since the emperor likes money, the court can do business and make money. Even the Wanjin Hall will not be able to make it. At that time, the emperor has money and nowhere to put it... Without Grandpa Lu Zhi's advice, the emperor will naturally form a cavalry! Actively support the war on the border? Grandpa Lu Zhi's words? Is that right?"
Uh...is it?
Cao Song was stunned, and Lu Zhi was also stunned. This little guy really made such a shocking statement!
Yes, this principle is exactly the same as "thinking about being full and warm, and hunger and cold are the thief" - only when you have enough food and clothing, will you think about that dirty thing; only when you have no money will you have the idea of being a thief.
If it were the Emperor Liu Hong's side, that was - only when he was so rich that the money in Wanjin Hall had to overflow, he would think about whether he could build an extra cavalry? Can he knock on the extremely arrogant Hu people? Can he practice the bold statement of Emperor Wu's words "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away"?
Even the most ridiculous emperor would want to leave his name forever? But now... I am so poor that I can't even lift the pot of a man. I'm still thinking about a hammer's name forever? I'll get drunk today!
Cao Shu's words were based on the personality of Emperor Liu Hong...
But in Lu Zhi's opinion, he was "hehe". There was nothing wrong with what he said, but who would tell me how to make Wanjintang's coins overflow? Isn't this the Yellow River flooding, and it overflows when it overflows?
Doing business? Making money? How easy is it? This child clearly doesn't understand anything! Nonsense... Lu Zhi shook his head, as if his mood became heavier because of Cao Shu's words.
"Cao Dasi Nong? Your grandson is a little brave, but he is too young and speaking childish words is not a brain, and it is too unrealistic."
Lu Zhi looked at Cao Shu with a look of disappointment. "Children, don't be imaginative, you should be down-to-earth! Make money? Do business? Haha...How can you kids understand these?"
Lu Zhi has returned to reality now. Facing reality, he has begun to teach Cao Shu earnestly.
Cao Song planned to speak and say a few words to relieve his grandson Cao Shu.
But I knew that it was at this moment.
"Cao Dasiren, you can find you."
A small yellow gate hurriedly entered Cao's mansion. Cao Song recognized him as a confidant eunuch beside Cao Jie...
"But what is important about Cao Dachangqiu..." Cao Song turned around and asked, and just said halfway, he was suppressed by the little yellow gate.
"It's not Cao Da Changqiu, this time it's Your Majesty. Your Majesty is waiting for your young grandson Cao Shu in Qianqiu Wansui Hall!" The little yellow gate said in a hurry and looked around. He happened to see Cao Shu. "The sedan chair is ready, just outside the door. Please please, Mr. Cao Shu, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time!"
"Oh!" Cao Song was slightly surprised, but he soon realized.
Your Majesty will summon Cao Shu in the near future. Cao Jie greeted him, Cao Song, and it was not too sudden.
But, after all, I am not allowed to see the saint, so Cao Song hurriedly called Cao Shu. "Go quickly! Don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry." Speaking of this, Cao Song seemed to remember something again, and heaviered his tone again, and repeatedly instructed: "By the way, remember to abide by the rules and not make Your Majesty angry."
"Don't worry, grandma." Cao Shu nodded, and then followed the little yellow gate to the sedan chair.
On the other hand, Lu Zhi was shocked. He was originally sitting, but now he couldn't sit still. He stood up and listened to the conversation between Xiaohuangmen, Cao Song and Cao Shu, and was stunned, his chin was almost falling off.
The Emperor? The Palace of Longevity? Summoned a...a six-year-old child?
This, this, this, this is contrary to common sense! The important place of the palace is not a place for children to play houses? Why does Your Majesty want to see him?
