Tan Tuo's heart jumped when Yuxi said that he was going to conscript, and he asked: "Why is the princess conscript?" Conscription meant that war was about to begin. The Northwest is developing well now, but the two years of hard work in the Northwest will be in vain. Once the war is fought, the Northwest will return to three years ago.
Yuxi said: "Conscription is what the prince meant. The prince has always wanted to destroy the Beiluo, and I can't dissuade it." Yun Qing has always dreamed of destroying the Beiluo. In this regard, Yuxi is not easy to stop.
Tan Tuo frowned and said, "The population of the Northwest is only half of what it was ten years ago, and there are not many young laborers. If another 50,000 young men are recruited, I am afraid it will cause turmoil." Why is there so much deserted land in the Northwest? Exorbitant taxes are fiercer than tigers, and there are fewer and fewer young adults. Those young and middle-aged men were all drafted and died on the battlefield.
Yuxi said: "I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible." Yuxi's idea is to recruit troops from several surrounding provinces. Although the checkpoints in the surrounding provinces are very strict, money can make the ghosts push, and as long as they operate well, they can still recruit some soldiers.
An Zike said: "Wang Hao, the method is good, but the cost is too high in this way." All of the corrupt officials are difficult to give birth, and it is not a small sum of money.
Yuxi did not answer An Zike’s words, but continued: “Shanxi, Henan, Hubei and other places are particularly infested with banditry. I believe that most of those bandits are not really willing to behave as murderers, and many are forced to survive. Talented bandits. If they were given a chance, they might abandon them." Yuxi not only wanted to recruit strong men, but also wanted to surrender bandits from surrounding provinces.
Shock flashed in An Zike's eyes. He didn't expect the princess to want to include those bandits. Many of these bandits are killing people. If such people are recruited, there are bound to be many problems.
Tan Tuo was also surprised that Yuxi had such thoughts: "Wang Hao, this is not easy to handle. These bandits are wild and untamed, and even if they are willing to defect to us, they are not easy to control. A bad one is to cause trouble."
Yuxi smiled and said, "How to tame these people is the generals' business, we don't need to worry about it." Yuxi didn't worry at all about whether he could tame these people. They had incorporated many bandits before, but now they are not obedient in the barracks. Therefore, as long as the generals are strong enough, the bandits will be subdued even when they are fierce.
After Tan Tuo heard this, he knew that Yuxi had made up his mind, and his objection was useless: "Since the princess has the confidence to tame these people, this method is feasible. In addition, this time we only need to be strong and not the old and weak women and children." These old and weak women and children are totally burdensome.
Yuxi nodded and said: "This is natural." She is now paying for people, and naturally she wants to buy useful people. It is impossible to spend money to buy some cumbersome back.
An Zike said: "In this case, there is no need for compulsory conscription in the northwest." Because of the war every year, no one wants their son to be a soldier.
Yuxi thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, the recruitment of troops in the northwest will be in the autumn." When the number of people is reduced, the recruitment will be in the northwest. If there are enough people, there is no need to conscript.
Yun Qing did not approve of Yuxi's idea. Yun Qing is a general, and he doesn't like thieves the most: "There are so many people in the northwest, it is not a problem to enlist 50,000 people." Yun Qing also knew how to enlist 50,000 soldiers. The levy of fifty thousand is still within the burden of the people. No matter how much, it may hurt the bones.
Yuxi said: "If you really want to conscript, let alone 50,000, you can also expropriate 200,000. But then the villages will only be old, weak, sick and disabled, and the land that was finally cultivated needs to be reclaimed. Barren.” Although the northwest has a population of one million, young adults only account for one-fourth of the population. If another 50,000 conscripts are enlisted, the number of young and middle-aged people will be even smaller. The sharp decline in the number of young adults is very detrimental to future development.
In terms of eloquence, the three Yun Qing are not Yuxi's opponents.
Yuxi said, "I know what you think. But I think it's enough if they enter the barracks in the future and can kill the enemy with all their heart. It doesn't matter what origins they have done before." Of course, committing crimes and crimes to murder is like that. Such a wicked person, that is definitely not required.
As a superior, you should focus on the overall situation and cannot act according to your own preferences. On this point, Yuxi is doing better and better, but Yun Qing still has a lot to do with it. However, Yun Qing has an advantage, that is, he listens to persuasion, as long as he speaks rationally, he will listen.
After listening to Yuxi's analysis, Yun Qing finally nodded and agreed: "I will bring this group of people by myself." When it was handed over to others, Yun Qing was not relieved.
What Yuxi dislikes Yun Qing the most is that Yun Qing likes to do everything by himself. As a person in power, it wouldn't be the same if you do everything yourself. But Yuxi said it several times before, but it was useless. Now, Yuxi is reluctant to say any more, so he doesn't want to say too much. Yun Qing feels uncomfortable: "Although it is said that those who can work harder, I am worried that after a long time, your body will not be able to bear it."
Yun Qing said, "Don't worry about it, this can tire me out of nowhere." Yun Qing is in good health, and it is rare to get sick once a year.
Yuxi shook her head secretly, but fortunately, she handled the government affairs. Otherwise, Yun Qing's temper would really be exhausted.
Yun Qing changed the subject and said, "I heard Xu Wu say, what happened to Ah Hao crying in the study today?" Qi Hao followed Yuxi in the study, sleeping most of the time, and only a small part of the time he would watch carefully The person who came to tell the matter. The serious look makes it easy for people to misunderstand that he understands what others are saying, but Yuxi knows that this kid is curious, not understandable.
Yuxi smiled and said, "A Hao is sleeping soundly. My eldest brother teased him when he saw him in his sleep, but he woke him up. The child cried when he was unhappy, and he cried for a long time. This child sees. He is obedient, but he has a good temper."
Yun Qing said, "I thought Ah Hao was unwell." Qi Hao has not been sick since he was born, which makes Yun Qing feel a little abnormal. Even if the body is as strong as a jujube, he was ill twice a hundred days ago.
Seeing Yun Qing crying and regretful when he heard that Qi Hao was not sick, Yuxi groaned: "Really, do you have a father like you? It's a good curse for the child to be sick."
Yun Qing said, "Why would I curse the child for being sick. It's just that this child is delicate and easy to get sick. A Hao hasn't even sneezed for more than three months. I feel a little abnormal."
Yuxi laughed and said, "I raised well when I was pregnant with Ahao, and I would soak a glass of Ganoderma lucidum water every Sanchawu. In addition, he stayed in his stomach for half a month, and his body was naturally better than an average child. Be strong." If you are in good health, you will naturally not get sick easily.
After hearing this, Yun Qing immediately asked, "Will you say that Ah Hao's skin is so good is related to drinking Ganoderma lucidum water?" Every time I see Qi Hao's white and tender egg like a freshly peeled egg Yun Qing's tender skin worries. As his heir, Qi Hao will definitely lead soldiers to fight in the future. But with such a white appearance, how could he tame the group of subordinates like wolves and tigers.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It should be related." Liu'er's skin is also fair and delicate, but this is the child's normal complexion. If the jujube is not in the sun all day, the skin will not be bad. But Qihao was beyond the normal range.
After listening, Yun Qing said hurriedly, "I can't drink this Ganoderma lucidum water next time." He didn't want all his sons to look like Xiao Bailian.
Yuxi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Early the next morning, Yuxi heard from the people below that Wu Kuo had brought his wife and children to see her. In order to avoid Wu Qian's persecution, Wu Kuo's wife took her two children and hid in her family. After Wu Kuo returned, he placed the mother and son in a safe place. This time Wu Kuo brought his wife and children to the northwest, intending to let his wife and children settle in the northwest.
Yuxi nodded and said: "Please come in with the official Wu and Grandma Wu." Wu Kuo has made a lot of money for Yuxi in the past two years, but Yuxi knows that Wu Kuo actually has reservations. But Yuxi didn't say it, because everyone is selfish. Only when Wu Kuo feels that following them can make a big future, he will naturally do things for them wholeheartedly.
Grandma Wu looks very beautiful, with the graceful beauty that is unique to Jiangnan women, which makes it very comfortable to watch. Fang took his two sons to give Yuxi a big gift: "Please greet the princess and empress, and wish the princess and empress auspicious and healthy."
Yuxi looked at the little boy to the right of Grandma Wu and laughed. This child is really good-looking, his face is like a crowned jade eyebrow, his eyelashes are thick and slender, his skin is comparable to Qi Hao's, and he has those watery peach eyes. If Yuxi had not known that Wu Kuo only had two sons, and that this child was dressed as a man again, Yuxi would really think this was a girl.
Such a look, he turned out to be a boy, which made Yuxi a little rare. When this child grows up, how many little girls will be fascinated. Yuxi waved to the child and said, "Come, come to me."
Upon seeing this, the child was so scared that he immediately hid behind Fang's. In that way, I don’t know if I think Yuxi is a scourge.
Wu Kuo leaned over to Yuxi and apologized: "Please forgive the princess. Jinyu was frightened when he was a child, so she was a little afraid of others." Wu Kuo had two children, the eldest son was Jinbao, and the second son was Jinyu.
Looking at the timid appearance of the child, Yuxi felt a little distressed, so he asked more: "What frightened the child would make the child afraid of seeing others."
Wu Kuo sighed and said, "Three years ago, my brother killed a man with a stick in the back garden. He happened to be seen by Jin Yu playing in the garden. A high fever was developed that night and it burned for three days and three nights. Although he picked it up again. A life, but since then, the courage has become extremely small, and I am also inseparable from others. I have looked for many famous doctors, but unfortunately they have no effect."
Yuxi looked at the grief in Wu Kuo’s eyes and said, “Don’t be sad. The child is still young. You can definitely find a way to cure this disease.” Yuxi didn’t believe Wu Kuo’s words. The Wu family is also a big family. . Even if the child accidentally encounters Wu Qian and wants to kill someone with a stick, don't the nurses and maids around the child know that they are covering his eyes to prevent him from seeing. So there must be something else hidden in this matter. But Wu Kuo didn't want to say, and Yuxi didn't continue to ask.
Wu Kuo gratefully said: "With the good words of the princess, I hope this child will be well soon." Every time he sees his son like this, Wu Kuo blames himself very much. I blame myself, the father, for not protecting the child well, so that the child suffered such a disaster.
ps: The third one is delivered. onno~, I have to go out in the evening, and the fourth is more likely to be more than 11 o'clock. Those who go to bed early, let's see the group tomorrow.
