Lu Ning's words made the general very excited, which was a supreme sense of honor. I heard Lu Ning talk about it before, but no one has ever obtained such a highest military rank. Moreover, if there is no rank like a marshal in the future, then these ten marshals are unique.

Guo Jia said excitedly: "Lord, can anyone choose in your heart?"

Lu Ning said: "There is one in advance. You all know if it is appropriate. Tian Chou, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Taishi Ci, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, and Lu Su."

This is also the candidate that everyone expected. After all, the military achievements of these ten people are well-known, and no one dares to have any different meanings. Especially Tian Chou is really the most direct adviser around Tian Chou, and his military achievements are unmatched, and his status is also the highest in Lu Ning's heart.

Gan Ning smiled and said, "Lord, no objection."

Lu Ning said: "Since everyone has no objection, let's study the last question?"

Tian Chou smiled and said, "Master, you said!"

Lu Ning said: "The mineral resources in our jurisdiction have always been mined by the government office. This is a policy that has been formulated long ago and has been implemented well. However, the newly opened areas of our army after the external conquests are too far away, and the government cannot have the energy to organize mandatory mining. I mean, the areas where the army conquered foreign conquests are allowed to operate private companies, as long as they do things and pay taxes according to the rules. This will free the government. The government is under a lot of pressure now, and there is not so much energy and mandate to handle it, and it may not be done well."

Gu Yong said: "Lord, if this is the case, are you considering buying the mining rights or renting rights from the government during private mining? In this way, the government will also have multiple incomes."

Sima Lang said: "Agree!"

No one has any objections, so that's easy to deal with. Lu Ning said: "I found several large gold and silver minerals on the island of Japan. I sent the money first. Please see if you are interested in joining the business of those minerals. If you want to join, you will send the money here in the next few days."

Lu Ning is simply a lot of money to make money together, and a lot of money to tie all his confidants and direct descendants together with economic means. With this sharing of interests, the friendship between the two parties becomes closer.

Of course, Lu Ning's other purpose is to cultivate or support new aristocratic families, so that the new aristocratic families can grow rapidly, and they will have the ability to fight against the old aristocratic families; after all, the new aristocratic families are the same as Lu Ning, unlike the old aristocratic families who have certain conflicts of interest with Lu Ning.

Today, the richest person is Lu Ning. Although Lu Ning did not occupy a penny of the government, there was no need to force the sale; but Lu Ning's industries basically penetrated into all walks of life and were the leading leaders of this industry; of course, many civil and military officials under Lu Ning also have shares. Now Lu Ning proposed, can you disagree? Everyone has money to make money, so why not do it!

Mi Zhu said: "Lord, why don't you reorganize several large companies to specialize in managing resources in those areas."

Lu Ning said: "I mean it is the same. Those resources should be mined locally and smelted locally, which can reduce costs, and then ship the finished or semi-finished products to the country."

Zhang He said: "But the public security in those places is not very good now, so you need to have a certain amount of defense!"

Lu Ning said: "Then pay the military to help! If it really doesn't work, we will set up a security company, specializing in security work, and recruit more retired veterans."

Guo Jia said: "It's better to set it up by yourself, and the military's strength is also tight."

Lu Ning said: "If you can't set up a preservation company, you must strictly review and approval. You cannot easily approve the establishment of such companies. After all, this is also an armed force that changes its appearance."

Tian Chou said: "This should be done."

Guo Jia said: "Lord, have the next army's goal of conquest determined?"

After hearing this, Lu Ning immediately opened the global map on the wall and pointed at it, "Zhao Yun led a hundred thousand troops to continue advancing westward, first completely settled the countries of the Western Regions, and then continued to go westward, and continued to fight until the past. There were countless territories, tribes and countries in those areas."

Zhao Yun said: "Brother, I have been waiting for your order."

Lu Ning said: "Zilong, let Jia Xu be your chief of staff! Jia Xu is familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, and his ability is also very good. He is known as the poisonous man Jia Xu. You should listen to Jia Xu's opinions more."

Zhao Yun said: "Okay."

Lu Ning said: "Zilong, I heard that you and Ma Teng's youngest daughter Ma Yun-Teang have gotten married. Congratulations! When you go to war, bring your brother-in-law Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie! You can decide the other candidates yourself."

What Lu Ning didn't expect was that after Zhao Yun defeated Ma Teng's army, the captured Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others were captured. After the surrender, Zhao Yun and Ma Yun met. This was basically the same as in history, and it was really fate!

Zhao Yun said: "I understand."

Lu Ning said: "Ma Teng just asked him to teach in the military. Ma Teng has made great achievements in cavalry combat, and his command and operation are of a certain level. Zilong, you are responsible for handling it. I don't have time to see Ma Teng for the time being, and I will talk about it when I have time."

Zhao Yun said: "Okay!"

Lu Ning said: "Ziyi, you lead the army to conquer the Deccan Plateau area in the Xihai area! Let Xu Shu be your chief of staff; then Zhou Yu will lead a navy to form the Xihai Fleet in the Xihai Sea, and form a naval base there, and will cooperate with your army to fight at that time."

After hearing this, Taishici said excitedly: "Abide by the order!"

Lu Ning said: "The Deccan Plateau area has abundant iron ore resources. That place must be taken down. After your army takes over the Deccan Gao area, it will cooperate with other armies to carry out a thorough conquest of the Kushan Kingdom."

Taishici said: "Abide by the order!"

Lu Ning pointed at the Australian place on the map again with his hand and said excitedly: "This is Australia, the place with the most iron ore stored in the world, and the grade is very high. There are also some aluminum ore and copper ore. Is it a good place?"

Guo Jia said: "Lord, you think it is a good place, so let's dispatch a large army to conquer!"

Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, there should be no humans in Australia at this time. It is probably only a few indigenous people. They are not the opponent of our army. They are just too far away and have no navigation charts, so it is not easy to reach! Even if we arrive, if we want to gain a foothold there, we have to immigrate, but this is really a bit far away."

Tian Chou said: "Since we have so many resources, we must get it no matter how difficult it is."

Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Then let Zhou Tai lead 5,000 navy troops to explore the way! Lu Xun is the chief of staff of the army. If it succeeds, then our Han people will have sufficient iron ore resources."

Guo Jia said: "I'll make arrangements now."

Lu Ning said: "We should establish a legion. Zhao Yun is the commander of the Northwest Legion, Jia Xu is the chief of staff, and the base camp is in Liangzhou; Zhang Liao is the commander of the Central Plains Legion, Ju Su is the chief of staff, and the base camp is in Lujiang; Xu Huang is the commander of the Yizhou Legion, Fa Zheng is the chief of staff, and the base camp is in Yizhou; Zhang He is the commander of the Nanyang Legion, Pang Tong is the chief of staff, and the base camp is in Nanyang; Taishi Ci is the commander of the Western Region Legion, Xu Shu is the chief of staff, and Daben

The camp is in the Decan Plateau area; Dian Wei serves as the commander of the garrison and the base camp is in Chang'an; the Navy headquarters is established, Gan Ning serves as the commander of the army, Lu Su serves as the chief of staff, and Gan Ning also serves as the commander of the East China Sea Fleet; Jiang Qin serves as the commander of the South China Sea Fleet; Zhou Yu serves as the commander of the West China Sea Fleet; Gao Shun serves as the chief instructor of the entire army; Ergou, Zhang Chuang'er, Zhang Sha'er and Heizi serves as the commanders of the Far East, Far North, Southern Legion and Jizhou Legion; the rest of the positions remain unchanged."
