After the baby was born, everyone finally calmed down.

Giving birth in ancient times was easier than in modern times. Although there were many rules, it was not that troublesome.

People are not that pretentious, except for the royal family and dignitaries.

People have the conditions to be hypocritical.

Wang Buxu came in and took a look at the child. The little guy's skin was very wrinkled and he looked ugly.

After teasing for a while, Wang was kicked out without hunger.

I happened to meet Guan Ying and Han Xin who had just entered the palace.

Now the ministers finally stopped trying to prevent Wang Buxu from discussing official matters.

At this moment, Wang Buxian suddenly felt like he was a stallion. The child was born and it had nothing to do with him anymore.

"Your Majesty, you haven't given the young master a name yet!" At this time, Zhang Liang said with an expressionless expression.

Wang Buxu's old face darkened instantly.

I'm almost into a naming black hole. You can have so much fun naming yourself, but you dare to ask me to name my child?

But if you can’t give your own cub a name, who is qualified to give it to you?

After thinking for a while, he said casually: "Kingdom, rejuvenate the country and bring peace to the country!"

Anyway, Liu Bang was never called Liu Bang at all, and he was always called Liu Ji until his death.

The name Liu Bang was only changed when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, so this name was destined to have no connection with him.

"Good! Great good!" Everyone nodded in approval.

This name has a very meaningful meaning, rejuvenating the country and bringing peace to the country. It makes people full of expectations when listening to it.

It’s just that no one expected that Wang Buxu’s name-making skills were so high!

It's really surprising that it doesn't work.

…

After all, they are a group of boss-level people, so it would be outrageous to let them stand outside like this.

Everything that needs to be done is done, and all that's left is to do what needs to be done.

Wang Buxu directly pulled Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Guan Ying and Han Xin into the meeting hall.

At this time, Wang Buxu no longer needs to worry about family matters.

Until the child grows up and becomes sensible, there is no need for him to worry about it.

In comparison, preparation for war is the main theme now.

Although Chen Ping has not returned yet, with Zhang Liang and Xiao He here, the IQ of the think tank is sufficient.

Arriving at the meeting hall, everyone took their seats.

There is no such thing as being humble and pretentious, which is what bothers Wang Buxuan the most.

So he went straight to the point: "It is urgent to prepare for war against the Huns. The country has just been pacified, and the people need to recuperate. Although the two conflict, they do not conflict. Local governance must be strengthened and speeded up, but not blindly. The Ministry of War has a very heavy task next!"

"Your Majesty, I am confident that I will do a good job and will not defeat the barbarians in the north, and I will not be granted a title of marquis!" Guan Ying stood up and expressed his stance.

Wang Buxu was stunned for a moment.

This is a smart man.

If nothing happens, I will confer a group of marquises in two months.

Whether it was Guan Ying or Han Xin, generals he discovered like Peng Yue, or generals like Zhang Han and Wang Li who came to seek refuge, or people like Chen Tieshan and Zhang Buyi who followed him all the way.

They will all be granted titles. In terms of merit, their merit is sufficient.

Guan Ying, who had made great contributions in the War of Founding and Unification, and even served as one of the main generals, if he could not be granted the title of Marquis at this time, then where would the fairness of himself, the future emperor, be?

"I know whether I should be granted a title or not, and I don't need you to use this to motivate yourself." Wang Buxu refused directly.

Guan Ying was very smart and knew that he would be indispensable in the coming war. If he was to be made a marquis right away, how would he be made a marquis next?

Could it be that I could not hope that I would make meritorious deeds, but rather hope that I would die in battle as soon as possible?

He is only in his thirties, and there is still a long, long time and opportunity for him in the future. If it is too early to become a marquis, it may not be a good thing.

As for those kings, Guan Ying was not very willing.

He is only a king in name, but in fact he is like an animal in a cage, being raised by others.

Whoever likes it should do it, but it’s not appropriate for me anyway.

"I have ordered Lu Jia to go on a mission to the Yuezhi, hoping to get a batch of high-quality war horses from the Yuezhi. In addition, we also need to cultivate war horses ourselves. The environment in the north is suitable for cultivating war horses. Next, we will do it there.

Just be more attentive at the same time." Wang Buxian explained.

After the big plan is determined, the next priority development plans for various places are basically determined.

War horses will be raised at the corner of the Great Wall in the north, and cavalry training will also be done there.

Within the country, priority is given to cultivating mules, which is productivity.

Regarding this arrangement, Zhang Liang and Xiao He, who had known the situation for a long time, naturally had no objections.

Guanying Han Xin naturally also knew the importance of high-quality war horses for cavalry, and Beidi (Hetao) was indeed suitable for raising war horses.

"The next thing the Ministry of War has to do is to reform the military system. The existing troops will select suitable soldiers according to requirements and personal wishes, and the rest will be disbanded and go home. The newly recruited soldiers will be separated from production and will be stationed on rotation throughout the year.

Training and defense of each county will be handled by the corvee of each county. Each county court can arrange a permanent force of 10,000..." Wang Buxu rattled off a series of arrangements.

Before this, the Han army was already a professional soldier.

But later on, a lot of people were temporarily recruited.

Moreover, those professional soldiers may not really be willing to serve as soldiers.

At that time, there was nothing I could do. In order to survive, I naturally had no choice but to join the army.

But things are different now.

Life at home has improved, and even if they don't join the army, they can still live well.

"Your Majesty, if this happens, the pressure on the court will be too great, and I may not be able to bear it!" Zhang Liang frowned tightly.

It’s easy to say anything during a war, everyone knows it’s temporary.

But now that there is peace, how can the court afford to maintain so many troops?

A professional army trains all year round, which means that the consumption of food and grass is huge.

According to Wang Buxu's idea, the army needs to pay some food and salary. The specific form can be discussed later, but it must be given.

Otherwise, if someone becomes a soldier, it will be equivalent to losing a labor force. It is a job with no benefits and it is voluntary. Who will come?

"Yes, Your Majesty, we now have thirty counties. Not to mention anything else, we only need 300,000 standing troops that cannot be used for war. How many troops can be mobilized for foreign wars?" Guan Ying

I also find it a bit difficult.

Zhang Liang raised the problem from the economic aspect, while Guan Ying raised the issue from the military aspect.

"Three hundred thousand cavalry are enough to fight against the northern nomads!" Wang Buxu directly gave an accurate figure.

Everyone frowned.

Three hundred thousand cavalry seems to be really enough.

Looking at the First Emperor, didn't he also arrange for 300,000 people?

The First Emperor arranged infantry, but now it is cavalry, so from this aspect it is sufficient.

But at this time and that time, the nomadic peoples during the First Emperor's period were not yet unified. They were all small tribes, which were easier to fight in comparison.

The great cause of the unification of the nomadic people has basically been completed by two-thirds, and the difficulty between the two is different.

And for 300,000 cavalry, at least one million horses need to be prepared.

this number……

Guan Ying felt as if he was a little dizzy. He couldn't even imagine it.

Wang Buxu had previously talked to him about the formation of the cavalry.

What Wang Buxing wanted was a cavalry unit like the Xiongnu, with one man and three horses, capable of running long distances.

Only by achieving this can the Han army's advantages be brought into play.

"Your Majesty, we have enough people, but this war horse..." Guan Ying felt that it was difficult for him, not just him, but everyone found it difficult.

The emperor is not good at this, because he knows soldiers and knows how to fight, so his say in war is much greater than that of the generals.

So more often than not, what the emperor does is make arrangements rather than discuss.

Generally, horse emperors have full confidence.

Wang Buxu's self-confidence comes from winning again and again, whether strategic or tactical.

So now he has no way to refute the arrangement made by Wang Buxu, and he can't find any reason to refute it.
