lying down

The embracing wood is born at the end of the mill; the nine-story platform rises from the soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The eighth brother, Jinlan, is already married, with a generous heart, and it is the time when his heart is hot.

Ge Ye is thoughtful, he knows that this little brother Ouyang is not the master of empty talk.Now that he has made bold words and gathered a group of brothers, there must be something in his heart.Taking a sip of tea, he immediately asked, "Eighth brother, what you said just now means that you are going to do something spectacular. And let all the brothers listen to your thoughts, so that you can add up. "

When everyone heard this, they knew that they had reached the point, and they all looked at Ouyang, waiting for him to talk about the beauty in his chest.

Hearing the words, Ouyang frowned and thought carefully, tapped the table with two fingers, and went through all kinds of thoughts and the historical trend he had mastered in his mind.He said loudly: "A man's ambition is nothing more than to govern the country and the world! Now there is an opportunity waiting for us. As far as I know, there will be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks in the coming year. The cornerstone of a successful career! Brothers, please don’t worry about how I found out, I’m [-]% sure that this will happen.”

Speaking of this, his experience at the back door of Di Mansion and the battle of Dashibao automatically came to his mind.From this point of view, those people do not seem to have a single composition, at least they are mixed with Prince Yin's lineage and Turkic forces.They were able to obtain such confidential information about the time and route of transporting the transport troops, there must be a group of loyalists lurking in the military and political system of Jinyang City.Tomorrow, I need to go to the Governor's Mansion. After all, apart from this matter, there is also the original entrustment, so I need to go to return to my life.

"Eighth brother, eighth brother? Ouyang Yu?!" Everyone just heard the key point, but seeing Ouyang groaning silently, Ge Ye had no choice but to wake him up.

"Ah? Cough, I remembered something from the past, let's continue." Ouyang's face was embarrassed, and he quickly changed the subject: "I want to ask the governor to allow my brothers to join the battle at that time, on the premise that the eight of my brothers want to be together. "

"Why is this? If you want to make military exploits, it's better to spread them out. After all, the fish is big, and you can catch a few!" Ge Ye is an old man in the army. Ask directly.

Ouyang Yu grinned: "Third brother (Ge Ye), have you forgotten what I said to you at the banquet the day I rescued the young master Dudu?"

"Banquet? Talk?" Ge Ye stroked his forehead with his right hand and recalled carefully.His eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked, "You mean...you mean the 'special forces' you mentioned to me that day?"

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. The eighth brother had something new in his mouth. They had heard of Fubing, Beiya Imperial Army, Bingxuan, Frontier Defense Army, and Unity Army who did not leave production. But no one has ever heard of "special forces", they all looked at Ouyang curiously.

Ouyang thought to himself, this special forces was his old business in his previous life, so it would be easy to explain.Continued: "The reason why we want everyone to be together is because the eight of us will form the first batch of special forces! Simply put, the special forces are a sharp sword that can kill the enemy's generals, destroy their leaders, and break the enemy's heart." , to participate in the front or rear battlefield with a small number of mobile and flexible people, and play a role in changing the entire battle situation. That is to say, once the "special forces" are established, their role is to be the ultimate move in the army. Cut off the opponent's vitality directly! If the governor agrees, I will explain it to the brothers in detail later."

Ge Ye slapped his thigh and said: "If there is such a team, it would be amazing! With the power of eight people to break through ten thousand enemies, just listening to it makes me yearn for it! Eighth brother, quickly send the 'Special Forces' In terms of various methods, we brothers practiced for a while and cut off the head of the Turkic bird Khan Tuli to use as a urinal!"

What Ge Ye said was rude, but all the men laughed, but they were restless in their hearts. They wished that the governor would agree tomorrow, and then become a member of the special forces and fly to the Turkic battlefield to make him turn upside down.Everyone wants to see the power of this special force as soon as possible.

Ouyang was secretly happy when he saw the enthusiasm of the crowd.He was afraid that people would not be interested after speaking out, and it would take a lot of effort. "Where is it so fast? I have taught the method today, and it is impossible to become a 'special force' tomorrow. If it is not systematically trained, it will be no different from recruits on the battlefield. The fastest death. What I am talking about now It is a general strategy, and we will talk about specific actions later. Our ambition is to govern the country and the world. The Qi family is at the top of the list. There is a saying that goes, "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" What you said in the hall and the restaurant staff is not just empty talk, but it is actually the first step for the Qi family to make money!"

"Oh?"

"Eighth brother, don't you want to go into business first?"

"Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, this business is probably..."

Everyone chattered and talked, but they didn't understand why they need to make money first. Since they want to join the army, all the things they need will be provided by the army, so why bother to make money for themselves?

Ouyang shook his head and smiled wryly. Although he was prepared in his heart, he still underestimated the ancient people's resistance to merchants and their affirmation of the social status of merchants.You must know that in the previous life, businessmen were the main force in the development of the country.

He was not in a hurry to explain, and patiently listened to everyone expressing their opinions one by one.After everyone talked about it, he explained in detail: "The step of making money is the foundation of everything. Brothers, have you ever thought that if I have no money left in my hand, it will only be enough to eat and drink. Wait for us All the men are going to the battlefield, who will take care of the old, young, women and children of this big family? , saving effort and trouble; if he disagrees, I will still go next year! The armor, weapons, and piecemeal equipment of this special force cannot be made with a few taels or a few dozen taels. Up to a few hundred taels! If you don’t have money to back it up, you’re risking your own life!”

"A few hundred taels?!" Qin Feng didn't say a word, but he couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise when he heard Ouyang's last sentence.

Ouyang Yu nodded affirmatively, thinking that changing their views on merchants and commerce would not happen overnight, but at the very least, the seeds had to be planted in their hearts so that they would slowly realize that a few words by himself would be enough up.

He considered his words and said loudly: "As far as our current situation is concerned, restaurants are one of our livelihoods. I want to develop a new kind of wine, one for food, and the other for medicinal purposes; my elder brother is good at forging, and I want to make the wine on the opposite side. The house is finished, and I will open my own blacksmith shop in Jinyang City. It will be convenient to make some weapons and armors that are allowed by the government in the future. Of course, it is best to forge all the equipment of our special forces in our own shop. If It would be the best if we could invite Chu Xiang's sister-in-law's father and elder brother's senior brother, if these two livelihoods are done well, it will be enough!"

As soon as Wu Lang heard about himself, he replied without hesitation: "It's the best to be able to do it with old skills. After the New Year's Eve, I will go back in person and invite master and senior brothers to come out of the mountain!"

"Thank you bro!"

"My brother, why are there so many nonsense, you are half a matchmaker for me and your sister-in-law!"

Ouyang nodded and smiled, and stopped sitting on the chair. He walked into the hall and picked up the brazier with carbon tongs, and said, "Secondly, reserve talents! This year is a disaster year, and many places near Jinyang The disaster was severe, and many families were broken up. I want to recruit some orphans into our restaurant and blacksmith shop. First, let them learn some skills to be self-reliant. Second, we can pick some smart and motivated people to join our big plan Come on. Talents are inseparable, this is also one of our foundations!"

"I agree with this. Although the tiger is king in the mountains, the tiger has to give way to the wolves by three points. We are also the same, right?" Qilang was bored for a long time, and choked out this sentence.

"Second brother is a great talent! Realize the truth in the simple way!"

"I didn't expect the second child to be Neixiu!"

Ouyang laughed along with everyone, his words guided everyone's thinking direction, and made everyone think while listening, which was already half the battle.He stirred the charcoal twice, stood up and said, "The third and last item is the cost of our lives! The training of special forces! I have thought about this many times. Only then can things be done; if you force the governor to ask for the title of a small school, it’s not very interesting. Besides, the army is like a court, and there are many factions and undercurrents. So we might as well find another way and go our own way. If you want to be a special force As a member of the team, when the training starts, after the New Year's Eve, all the brothers and I have to practice in the summer and in the winter. Forgive me."

"What did the eighth brother say? If you can really teach me how to wait, as you said, I will be willing to wait no matter how hard and tiring I am. You are the instructor! Everyone thinks this is the case?" Ge Ye Standing up to support Ouyang, he had already figured out Ouyang's plan in his heart, from which he could see the long-term and subtle aspects of his layout, but it seemed that Ouyang's words were still incomplete and he still had reservations.Ask him again when you get a chance.

Ouyang decided the general strategy, and he breathed a sigh of relief.He concluded: "Although we are not as wise as Kong Ming or Lu Bu's bravery, we are superior in numbers and strength! In the next one to three years, we will focus on these three things: one is to make money, and the other is to reserve talents , and the third is to receive special training systematically, in anticipation of the great battles in the coming year and the next few years! Brothers, are you willing to work together with me!?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out one of his palms and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Brothers should advance and retreat together! Fuck you!"  …

Eight people gathered around the brazier, and put their palms on it, touching each other, heart to heart!

The Zhengwang brazier crackled, making everyone's faces red.
