Chapter 127 Discussing Horses with His Wife
That night, Jiang Lie returned to Jiang Mansion. After having a meal, he took a shower and lay on the bed, frowned.
Yuan Nan'er sat on the bed with a glass of water, stared at Jiang Lie, and asked, "What's wrong? As soon as you get home, your face has been frowning, like a bitter gourd. What makes you so sad?"
"Horse!" Jiang Lie sighed, "So many cavalry emerged, where did I get so many horses?"
Yuan Nan'er was still puzzled: "What a great man, let me explain it clearly."
Jiang Lie explained the troubles of lacking a large number of war horses in his army.
Yuan Nan'er chuckled: "Since you can't think of an idea, why do you still swear to tell your subordinates that you have a solution?"
Jiang Lie sighed again: "Who made me the commander of the army? I am the supreme commander of the entire army, and I must speak with prestige!"
Yuan Nan'er handed the water cup to Jiang Lie: "Then I'll figure out a way with you. If I can't come up with an idea, we won't even think of sleep tonight."
Jiang Lie sat up, took the water cup, and sighed, "This is my official business, how can you implicate you? If you are sleepy, go to bed first, and I will think about it more myself."
"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Maybe you can't come up with an idea, but I can think of it." Yuan Nan'er looked at Jiang Lie and said with a smile.
Jiang Lie yawned: "Have you figured it out now?"
Yuan Nan'er's lips raised: "Somewhat."
Jiang Lie widened his eyes and asked quickly: "Tell me quickly!"
"Why are you in a hurry?" Yuan Nan'er smiled and put away her smile again. "If you want to eat 300 kilograms, should you slowly rise by kilogram, or eat 300 kilograms overnight? You should still understand the principle that you can't become a fat man in one bite, right?"
Jiang Lie suddenly realized and pursed his lips, "I know what you mean! It is impossible to get so many horses in one breath now, but I can proceed step by step, calculate one horse and hang up slowly!"
Yuan Nan'er nodded and said, "That's right, that's the reason."
"But..." Jiang Lie pondered, "Where is the channel? And we definitely can't buy it. Our military expenditure is not enough to buy so many war horses. What channel can we use to get the horses?"
"Since you can't buy it, there are only a few ways you can use it." Yuan Nan'er raised her hand, leaned her fingers and said word by word, "Steal, rob, catch, live, and receive gifts from others."
Jiang Lie drank the water in the cup, got up and put the cup on the table, paced back and forth for a while, and stopped: "I can't be born. If I catch it, no one in the entire army can do it. Although there are hunters among these recruits, they can only hunt and cannot catch it. Stealing is not what our army should do. Robbing... rob..."
Yuan Nan'er interrupted: "It is definitely not enough to steal serious people, but if the one who robs the bad people, isn't that reasonable?"
Jiang Lie nodded several times in a row: "That's right, that's right. I rob the bandits and robbers. As long as I rob the bad guys, I will be a chivalrous and righteous person, eliminate harm for the people, and can achieve my goals at the same time."
Yuan Nan'er also stood up and hugged Jiang Lie from behind: "There are no bandits in Shenliu City. Do you know where there are bandits that can be beaten by you?"
Jiang Lie shook his head: "I only know that there are bandits in Hongxing Village in Huoshan, but they are now considered the imperial army and belong to the northern border army. They can't make up their ideas. Let's do this. I'll go to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow to ask Che Run. I just conducted a national population census last year. Where are the criminals there? He should have known about it."
Yuan Nan'er stood on tiptoe and leaned her chin against Jiang Lie's shoulder: "This is a method, but why don't you consider the method of being given gifts?"
Jiang Lie asked, "Are you gifted? You said, who can give it?"
Yuan Nan'er asked back: "Do you think the emperor has a way to collect so many horses?"
Jiang Lie responded without hesitation: "Stop talking about horses, what can the emperor not get? What the emperor can get if he wants. But I can't count on the emperor. The military of our Lion Flame Army has been approved by the emperor. If he wanted to give us more war horses, he would have been more. Although I can be considered a royal relative now, I can't do it to ask the emperor for these horses with shame."
Yuan Nan'er patted Jiang Lie on the back of his head: "Silly you! Think carefully, how did your mansion come from? How did your sword come from? How did your Qimo horse come from? How did your title come from? How did your hero come from? How did the servants in the yard come from?"
Jiang Lie responded decisively: "It can be said that it was all given by the emperor."
Yuan Nan'er asked, "Why did the emperor give you something to you? Why didn't the emperor give you something to others, just give you something to you? Are you just badgering than others?"
Jiang Lie suddenly realized: "My house, sword, and war horse are all because I saved you Princess Mumu from the hands of the Youling Cult! My title is because I have made meritorious contributions in Zhiping County! I can become the commander because I have made military contributions in the northern border! I know that if I make contributions, I can be rewarded!"
Yuan Nan'er chuckled: "It seems that you are not only looking darker than others, but even your little head is much smarter than ordinary people."
"Otherwise, how could I be the princess of Princess Mumu?" Jiang Lie laughed for a moment, then asked again, "How should I make contributions now? To be honest, every time I make contributions, I have to do so. I have never taken the initiative to seek contributions, and I don't know how to make contributions."
Yuan Nan'er patted Jiang Lie on the back of his head again: "Since you know how to go to the Ministry of Revenue to ask where there are bandits, why don't you know how to go to the Ministry of Justice to ask about the imperial prisoners? If you can catch a fugitive imperial prisoner, is that another great achievement? Does the emperor have to give you a lot of rewards? Then you will ask the emperor to reward you with a few horses, which will not be impossible, right?"
Jiang Lie turned around, pinched Yuan Nan'er's cheek, and smiled and said, "It's worthy of being you! Your little head is even smarter than me! It's true that he is the daughter of the Lion City Army! It's true that he is Lie's sister!"
Jiang Lie had to admire Yuan Nan'er so much that he was overwhelmed with his admiration. Yuan Liaohong's genes were really strong. If Yuan Liaohong had not allowed Yuan Nan'er to practice martial arts, in Jiang Lie's view, with Yuan Nan'er's extraordinary talent, she would have become a generation of heroines, and at least a general who was powerful in the four directions.
Yuan Nan'er also reached out to pinch Jiang Lie's cheek: "If you encounter problems, use your brain more often! If you can't figure it out, think about it from another angle! When one road is at the end, don't hit the wall, just look for another way! You are not a fool, you can also think of what I want! When welcoming the bride, we could write 'Tonight's journey to the south to settle down and get married'. Why are you confused now?"
Jiang Lie smiled and said, "I know! In fact, after all, it is what you said, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. As the authorities, I am prone to be confused. As the bystanders, you can think calmly and calmly, so you will come up with an idea quickly. Of course, it is still due to your extraordinary intelligence!"
Yuan Nan'er pushed Jiang Lie away and said coquettishly: "Okay! Stop flattering me! When you get the horse, some of them are 'flatter' for you to slap!"
Jiang Lie blew out the candle and laughed: "I don't care about flattery! If you want to slap, you have to slap people!"
