"Miss Murong." A gentle call sounded, and Murong Xue raised her head, only to see Tantai Mo Shi suddenly walking towards her, with deep gratitude shining in her dark eyes: "Thank you, Miss Murong, for saving my little girl again." Dye it once."
Murong Xue smiled softly: "Ninth Prince don't have to take it to heart."
Tantai Mo smiled knowingly, seeing that Murong Xue was alone, and there was no figure of the person who was supposed to be with her nearby, he couldn't help asking: "Why is Miss Murong alone? Where is Prince Ouyang? Didn't you come with the girl?" ?”
"He came with me. I was in a hurry to save someone just now, so I didn't pay attention to him... He should be nearby..." Murong Xue's eyes flickered unnaturally, and she looked around, looking for Ouyang Shaochen, only to see Tantai Ran has been escorted by the guards and left here. An elite guard carried the body back and forth in the courtyard, cleared up the broken knives and swords, and the blazing torches illuminated the courtyard as bright as day, but they couldn't see Mr. Ouyang. Chen's figure, Murong Xue couldn't help frowning slightly: Where's Ouyang Shaochen? Where did you go
"What do you want from me?" Qingyue's voice suddenly sounded, and a white figure fell from the top of the big tree, and landed lightly beside Murong Xue. With a slender and tall figure and a handsome face, it was Ouyang Shaochen.
Tantai Mo looked around and saw that he was far away from the busy guards. He spoke but they couldn't hear him. He looked up at Ouyang Shaochen and paused every word: "I want to negotiate a deal with Prince Ouyang."
Ouyang Shaochen raised his eyebrows: "What deal?"
"The son of Ouyang sent people and things to support and protect these four cities for three years. After three years, I will return ten times the manpower and material resources I got from the son." Tantai Mo said in a low voice, with a twinkle in his eyes. Some are dignified: after three years of war, the four cities under his control have been dilapidated and devastated, and the people have become numb and full of despair. To restore the city to its former beauty and prosperity, a truce is imperative.
But Brother Two and Brother Five are staring at each other. They may not agree to a truce. If he wants to unilaterally force a truce, he must have absolute strength to protect these four cities from being breached by Brother Two and Brother Five. There are only 250,000 elite soldiers under his command, and the number of elite soldiers is similar to that of the second and fifth brothers. Moreover, these elite soldiers have experienced three years of war and are exhausted.
Therefore, he needs an ally. This ally must be strong and rich enough to provide elite soldiers to help him defend the city, and provide enough gold and silver to allow him to repair the four cities and properly resettle the people in the four cities. Ouyang Shaochen is very suitable for this. condition.
Murong Xue was startled, and looked at Ouyang Shaochen with wide eyes: "Your family has private soldiers?" Without the emperor's permission, keeping private soldiers is taboo for the emperor...
Ouyang Shaochen gave her a cool look: "No!"
"Then why did Tantai Mo ask you for help?" Murong Xue looked at him with raised eyebrows, obviously not believing his words: Although the four cities under Tantai Mo's command are connected together, there is a long distance between them. To defend the four cities and deal with the attacks from the second prince Qianxuan and the fifth prince, a lot of soldiers are needed. If Ouyang Shaochen didn't have private soldiers, where would he send so many people to guard the four cities...
"There are enough guards in the palace, it's not a problem at all to guard the four cities." Ouyang Shaochen replied casually.
However, Murong Xue's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this. To protect the four cities, at least tens of thousands of people are needed. How many guards does the Xiaoyao Palace have? I didn't notice how many guards...
Murong Xue looked at Ouyang Shaochen in puzzlement, only to see that Ouyang Shaochen looked directly at Tantai Mo with indifferent eyes: "There are many people who can help you, why did you choose me?"
"Because I believe in Ouyang Shizi!" Tantai Mo paused every word, with sincere eyes: The four cities now look like dilapidated, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to restore them to their former beauty. Three years later, the price he gave Ten times the reward is definitely very generous, as long as he throws out his own conditions, ask the emperor of Qingyan, or the king of Turkic for help, they will help him.
But he doesn't believe them, because they are all kings of a country, and they all have the ambition to expand the territory. Who knows if they will have bad intentions when they send soldiers to defend the city, and take his city as their own.
Ouyang Shaochen is different, he is the heir of the royal family, with excellent character, and he has no ambition to conquer other countries and take it into his own territory, so he can rest assured that the guards of Xiaoyao Wangfu are stationed in the four cities and defend the city with the elite soldiers in the city...
Looking at Tantai Mo's calm expression, Ouyang Shaochen raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay, I promise you."
"Thank you, Prince Ouyang!" Tantai Mo Weixuan's heart instantly relaxed, and a bright smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "I'll have someone draft the document immediately." While speaking, he turned around and strode forward: Write all the conditions that he and Ouyang Shaochen talked about into the document, sign it, and stamp it. The cooperation between them will come into effect. Three years will be enough for the four cities to recover and the people will gradually become rich...
Looking at his figure walking away quickly, Murong Xue slightly raised her eyebrows: "Shaochen, do you really want to help Tantai Mo?"
"En." Ouyang Shaochen nodded lightly. After so long war, the people who suffered and suffered should return to their previous stable and peaceful life: "Tantaimo is a capable person in governing the world. Mingjun, Qianxuan's four The city is in his hands, and it will soon return to its former beauty and prosperity."
"I hope so." Murong Xue nodded following Ouyang Shaochen's intention, and there was still a trace of doubt in her heart, but her suspicion disappeared the next day, because Tantai Mo signed a contract with them. After finalizing the agreement documents, a series of laws and regulations were promulgated immediately: the civil and military officials were temporarily divided into four cities equally, and were in charge of the affairs of the city.
The 250,000 elite soldiers were reduced to 100,000, and the 150,000 people who were reduced returned to the four cities to open up wasteland and build houses!
People in and out of the city, regardless of men, women, old or young, all re-registered their household registrations.
The fields outside the city are divided according to the population, and all taxes are exempted for three years...
The guards in armor stood in front of the mansion, holding the laws in their hands, and recited every word of the above regulations. The ragged people laughed and hugged each other excitedly, weeping with joy.
Murong Xue, who was standing on Qingshi Road in the mansion, also nodded when she heard that, so many laws and regulations were enacted in one night, and they also benefited the country and the people. Tantai Mo is indeed a great talent for governing the world...
According to his laws, the four cities will definitely be able to restore their former prosperity within three years...
