Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said: Yes! Although I repeatedly played to the court, but unfortunately the effect is not great, the hundred officials of the court still think that the threat of the Mongols is far less than that of the Jin State, but how do they know the sharpness of the Mongol army, there is one thing you didn't say right, that is, the matter of the North Recovering the Central Plains, I am not in a hurry at the moment!

Hua Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you say this?"

Gao Huaiyuan took advantage of Zheng Qingzhi and Zhuo Houlin before they arrived, sat down and said to Hua Yue: The reason is very simple, that is, we are far from being ready to restore the Central Plains in the north at present, once the army is raised, I am afraid it will be a copy of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, the reason why the Northern Expedition was successful is because of luck, the Jingdong Red Jacket Army has been fighting for more than ten years, and has already driven the Jin forces out of Jingdong, and the Jin State has no time to look eastward at the moment, although the Mongolian army went south to try to invade Jingdong, but fundamentally speaking, At present, the Mongols are also in a completely hostile position to put our Great Song Dynasty, and they still focus on destroying Jin, so they did not send troops to invade Jingdong with all their might, otherwise, the little force that you and I led at the beginning was simply not enough to stop the Mongol army from invading Jingdong.

And now that I have just taken charge of the army, I have launched the Northern Expedition, and some people in the DPRK and China already think that I am a reckless soldier, not to mention that our Song army has not yet been reorganized except for the current palace front division, infantry army division, Zhenjiang garrison army, and Chuzhou garrison army.

Therefore, whether it is from the army, the people's heart, or the material, we are not ready, how can we talk about the restoration of the Central Plains in the north now! Even if we now take advantage of the loopholes to conquer the hinterland of the Central Plains and destroy the Jin State, can we stop the iron hooves of the Mongol army in the Central Plains?

I can't, and I believe you can't! Therefore, we still have a lot to do at the moment, and we must not lightly say that we will send troops to the Northern Expedition again and restore the Central Plains in the north!

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, Hua Yue nodded and said: What the adults said is quite reasonable, think about it, we are indeed not ready, but when will we be ready?

Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said: You can rest assured of this, as long as we work hard, and with some time, we will definitely wave our army north again, and then it will be time for us to recover the old land and get rid of the Tartars!

The two were talking, and a personal guard came to report, saying that Zheng Qingzhi and Zhuo Houlin had arrived, so they immediately got up and went out, when Zheng Qingzhi saw Zhuo Houlin, he also understood three points, knowing that Gao Huaiyuan was asking for them, he sneered in his heart, and Zhuo Houlin exchanged pleasantries and saw Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue walking down from the upper floor.

These are all important ministers of the court, and some officials who also went to the drunken immortal building to drink the banquet hurriedly came up to salute, Gao Huaiyuan smiled and hugged his fists to these helpless people and said: Everyone, please take me, today I and Lord Zheng are just a little leisure to get together, so I won't bother you!

As soon as these people saw that something was going on, they obviously didn't want them to participate, so they hurriedly retired, and Gao Huaiyuan immediately led Zheng Qingzhi and them back to the private room upstairs.

This banquet is different from the ordinary banquet, Gao Huaiyuan did not invite courtesans to serve wine, but there were only four of them in the room, and after sitting down, Gao Huaiyuan immediately toasted Zheng Qingzhi and Zhuo Houlin Bucai, as if the two sides had not seen each other for many years.

Gao Huaiyuan's performance surprised Zheng Qingzhi a little, he didn't know what kind of medicine Gao Huaiyuan was selling in this gourd, so he also coped with a smile on his face, pondering Gao Huaiyuan's intentions in his heart.

Zhuo Houlin had made up his mind to repair the relationship at this time, so he had to praise Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue again and again during the banquet, and the four of them drank very lively together.

It wasn't until after the thirties of the wine that Zheng Qingzhi brought the topic to the main matter, and asked Gao Huaiyuan: Master Gao is so idle today, and he actually remembered to invite us to drink, in my opinion, Lord Gao must have something to do with me, since this is the case, don't go around the corner, you might as well say it bluntly!

After Gao Huaiyuan laughed for a while, he personally filled the wine cup in front of Zheng Qingzhi with fine wine, and then said with a smile: Lord Zheng is really powerful, and he can see at once that the lower officials have a request for the two adults, since Lord Zheng has already thought of it, then I might as well say it bluntly!

A few days ago, the lower officials were sparse and sparse, and they invited the saint to do something, I don't know if Master Zheng still remembers?

Zheng Qingzhi thought for a while, and immediately nodded: Remember, what Lord Gao is referring to is still the matter of moving those redundant troops north to Tuntian? This matter is a major event in my recent past, how can I not know, I waited to come in because of this matter, it can be said that I am already busy, is it possible that the tall man is still dissatisfied?

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly said: No, no! Lord Zheng's words are not right, this matter is not raised by me alone, not to mention that the matter of moving north is a matter of the Holy Lord's appointment, we are all people who do things, how can the lower officials be dissatisfied with Lord Zheng?

What the lower officials want to talk about today is not about this matter, but about the matter of the military department supervising the management of various places as a hospital that the lower officials asked the lower officials a few days ago, doesn't Lord Zheng know about this matter?

Zheng Qingzhi then thought that there was indeed such a thing, he didn't pay much attention to this matter, Gao Huaiyuan since he became a privy councillor, his hand stretched out longer and longer, and he was powerless to stop it, so he was tossed by Gao Huaiyuan, and now that their military generals had just won the Northern Expedition, it was the time of arrogance, and his side was hit by them again and again, so he didn't want to fight with Gao Huaiyuan for anything about such a small matter, so he didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

So he nodded and said, "Oh? I've heard a little about this matter, and I do remember such an incident, but does this matter involve the old man and Master Zhuo?

Gao Huaiyuan smiled and said: That's natural, when I was on the sage, I had already tried to show the stubborn disease of today's armament, hoping to be restructured, so as to facilitate my military armor and play a strong role in strengthening the army and the country, and today's sage and sage immediately agreed to the subordinate officials' recital, and the quasi-military department supervised the affairs related to the manufacture of weapons and armor, so that the two adults need to help!

Zheng Qing still didn't understand it for a while, the military department supervised all the places to make hospitals, and what involved him, and Zhuo Houlin was a very smart person, so he thought of the joints at once, so he smiled and said to Gao Huaiyuan: I see! Does Master Gao definitely want our household department to assist the military department in terms of the resources of the capital in the future?

Exactly! Lord Zhuo is really powerful, I thought of this at once, today I invited the two, in fact, it is precisely because of this matter, although the previous institutes in various places were under the jurisdiction of the three ya, but they were lost in supervision, so that each of them was made of weapons and armor, the quality was very poor, so that I suffered a lot when the officers and soldiers were in front of the formation, because of this, the state roads have long been formed into a habit of corruption, shoddy!

For the sake of our great plan, if this matter continues to develop like this, it will not be long before our soldiers will be able to use weapons and armor, so how can we talk about strengthening the army and resisting foreign aggression?

Therefore, the lower official wants to obtain the consent of the two adults this time, and change the way the previous capital is used as a hospital to operate, the original capital of the institute to produce armor, are directly funded by the household department, and then into the capital for the disposal of the hospital, and it is precisely because of this, will make the capital of the institute produce good and bad, in the future, if the military department supervises this matter, the lower official wants to let the household originally allocated to the capital of the hospital, directly allocated to the military department, and then the military department to the quality of the equipment produced by the institute in various places, and then allocate funds to purchase the quality of the high-quality armor, so that It can put an end to the shoddy and shoddy style of the hospital! Gao Huaiyuan had something to say, and he didn't beat around the bush at all, and directly put forward his request.

Hua Yue peeked at the expressions of Zheng Qingzhi and Zhuo Houlin, and saw that the expressions on their faces were different, Zheng Qingzhi tightened his brows, and Zhuo Houlin seemed to be a little happy, Hua Yue thought about it for a while, and saw the thoughts of the two.

Zheng Qingzhi must not be very happy, this matter is a means for him to control the military, if he just lets it go, he must be unwilling, and Zheng Qingzhi also thinks so, he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to push things here, he wants the military department to seize the lifeblood of the supply of armor by himself, and he wants to refuse, but after thinking about it, Zhao Yun has already agreed, if he gets in the way, he will have to have a head-on conflict with Gao Huaiyuan, and now Gao Huaiyuan wants power and power, and he wants soldiers and soldiers. There are many people in the government and the opposition who support him, and once he turns his face, he really doesn't have much chance of winning.

When Zheng Qingzhi was still hesitating, Zhuo Houlin spoke before him: What Lord Gao said is very true, and the lower officials have also heard about it, those who are all in the courtyard take the money of the imperial court to fill their own pockets, and they really deserve to die if they harm the officers and soldiers, and the household department allocates a large amount of resources every year for their use, but they are shoddy and deceive the soldiers, and this matter should indeed be rectified.

And if Lord Gao does this, he can prevent the court from wasting money and food in vain, so the lower officials feel very good, and the lower officials will definitely cooperate with the adults in this matter!

After Zheng Qingzhi listened to Zhuo Houlin's words, he was furious in his heart, and said in his heart, You, surnamed Zhuo, did not agree to this matter before the old man, but you first agreed to it, wouldn't this embarrass the old man? So Zheng Qingzhi's face suddenly showed displeasure.

After Zhuo Houlin finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Zheng Qingzhi's expression, and then realized that his mouth was a little faster, and he actually grabbed the front and agreed to this matter, which made Zheng Qingzhi suddenly fall into a dilemma, and there was no other way but to agree.

So Zhuo Houlin suddenly showed an embarrassed look, and quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, and although Zheng Qingzhi was angry, it was not good to attack on the spot, after all, Gao Huaiyuan is now in front of Zhao Yun, which is more important than his position as an emperor, rather than because of this trivial matter, it is not cost-effective to turn his face with Gao Huaiyuan, not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan has bypassed him in advance, and asked Zhao Yun to agree to this matter, he jumped out to block the way, it is not good that he will offend more people in the military, and the ghost knows if someone will throw black bricks at his house in the middle of the night!
