General Li took the opportunity to speak and said, "There are nine major vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, and the governors collect taxes by themselves. Now you understand, Your Majesty really has no money to raise another guard."

The emperor also took the opportunity to say, "So, it is difficult for you to be a general. Now the court has a total of 16 guards and has 180,000 soldiers and horses. This is the limit of the court's military support. If you have another 5,000 elite soldiers, you can't afford to support them."

The emperor said with a smile, as if he was deliberately joking about Guo Ziyi: "I can't just remove a general from his post for you. If that's the case, the soldiers of that guard would not obey you."

Guo Ziyi pretended to be bored and said angrily: "What's wrong with this? I'm still looking forward to becoming a general. Do you want me to raise soldiers by myself? It may take a long time to gather 5,000 elite soldiers."

Everyone laughed and said.

However, some people were shocked.

They knew that Guo Ziyi was not cunning, so they believed that these words must be casual. If someone else said such words, they would be suspected by everyone. However, when Guo Ziyi said it, everyone thought he was just saying it.

Despite this, some people are still wary.

Because what Guo Ziyi said was too serious.

Raise your own soldiers?

Then he asked the court for an official position.

What is this concept?

This is the prototype of the military governor of the feudal states.

Just as these people were alert, Guo Ziyi suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Just do that, I will spend money to raise soldiers by myself. After I get enough 5,000, Isn't I going to be a general?"

As he said that, he looked at the emperor, asked specifically, "Your Majesty, can you do it?"

The ministers present sneered in their hearts, waiting for him to be turned away.

However, no one expected that the emperor would nodding with a smile and said, "You young man, you are very energetic. This reminds me of my youth, and I was as energetic as you."

Everyone could hear what the emperor's tone meant.

Suddenly, seven or eight ministers hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. There are already nine major vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, so you must not be able to do it again..."

But the emperor didn't wait for everyone to finish speaking, and suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Guo Ziyi, your personality makes me feel relieved. Although it is a bit frizzy, it shows its integrity. Since that's the case, I'll give you a general and let you raise your own troops. Hahahaha, the young man must work hard."

The emperor's tone seemed to be joking, but what he said was not joking.

I will grant you a general!

Let you raise troops!

Since ancient times, a king's words are like a slight silence. Once such words are said and said in public, it is equivalent to the emperor having his face covered. Any opposition from ministers is a slap in the face.

However, no one expected that Guo Ziyi seemed a little worried and said depressedly: "The General has given me a title, but it costs a lot of money to raise soldiers, at least 5,000 elite soldiers, how much does it cost? Your Majesty is really stingy and just draws big cakes for people."

The ministers present looked at each other and saw the anger in the other's eyes. It was a look of envy and jealousy, and a kind of sadness that was not my turn to do such a good thing.

Suddenly a minister could no longer hold it in, and sneered and mocked: "Don't there be two hundred iron cavalry under the command of the magistrate of Guo? It is also said that there are three hundred soldiers from the Wuyang Palace. There are already five hundred soldiers, so if you work harder, it will be easy to raise five thousand soldiers."

Guo Ziyi glared at him and said angrily: "What are five hundred soldiers? I only have two hundred soldiers in total. The 300 tooth soldiers from the Wuyang Palace were obviously escorting my wife home to visit her relatives."

The minister sneered again and said more and more sarcastically: "As long as you eat well, these soldiers may be yours. For example, when Princess Linglong gets married, Prince Wuyang may accompany these soldiers as dowry."

This was originally intended to mock Guo Ziyi for being a soft meal, but the prince of Wuyang suddenly laughed and said, "It's a good suggestion. I heard you mention it,

It was really interesting to find this. My good granddaughter is getting married, so how could she not have any dowry? Hahaha, I decided to send my troops with me."

As he said that, he deliberately looked at the minister and said again: "And, the one I want to accompany is five hundred people, all of them are tooth soldiers, all of whom are horses."

The minister stood on the spot.

Since Li Guangbi came to the high platform, he never spoke from beginning to end. At this time, he deliberately laughed strangely and said proudly: "In this way, wouldn't my boss have 700 elite soldiers? And they are all cavalry, and one cavalry can kill ten soldiers."

Pugu Huaien took the opportunity to speak and cooperated: "The bottom line is five thousand elite soldiers. Our boss has seven hundred soldiers in a blink of an eye. If you work harder, you might be able to get all this year. Hehe, then you will be a real general."

The minister looked extremely ugly and endured his atrocities, saying, "Since ancient times, it is difficult to raise soldiers, don't be too happy too early. The remaining 4,300 elite soldiers, I see where you can get money."

Li Guangbi laughed and said, "It's a coincidence that our sister-in-law is very good at doing business. Not long ago, she just earned 5,000 taels of gold."

Five thousand taels of gold.

A minimum value of 50,000 jin.

This means that it can raise another two hundred black armored iron cavalry.

After doing this, Guo Ziyi will soon have 900 elite soldiers.

Suddenly, Pugu Huaien also spoke, and said with a sneer: "This time, the major gambling shops in Chang'an have made a fortune, and they have made a lot of money. I must be embarrassed to eat alone at www.uukanshu.com, but at that time, I might have to give our boss tens of thousands of dollars of flowers."

It has tens of thousands of stakes, and it can raise two or three hundred soldiers.

If you calculate this, your troops can already exceed a thousand.

The minister was angry and angry, and had lost his calmness, and he argued loudly: "Even so, it was only a thousand, and it was still out of reach for five thousand people. Especially in Shandong, you are remote and poor and difficult to sustain. Even if you have money to recruit soldiers, you can't afford the local tax. Humph, the basic population of the people is a flaw."

He is right!

If there are fewer people, there will be less taxes. Even if the elite soldiers can be formed, they must be supported by taxes in the future. Otherwise, they will be spent on money and no matter how much property they have, they will be consumed.

But Shandong has a big problem. The place has been poor for years and has caused sparse people. Even if the people are willing to pay taxes, how much money can such a small population base be received.

The minister seemed very proud and looked at Guo Ziyi with a sneer, as if mocking him, as if reminding him: Have you heard that, there is a small population in your place.

But at this moment, Guo Ziyi slapped his forehead suddenly and said in great surprise: "I suddenly remembered that I had just obtained a peerless treasure. As long as this thing is in hand, everyone in the world is willing to live in my territory. Hahahaha, isn't the population increasing?"

The minister was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the peerless treasure he was talking about was.

However, An Lushan, who was present, looked embarrassed and wished he could snatch the horn of the white rhino on the spot.

The horn of the immortal mount has the miraculous effect of resurrection. The most important thing is that this thing only needs a little powder as used as medicine. Such a huge animal horn can at least scrape out millions of portions of powder.
