Xu Yun asked a question: "This time, because of this incident, I was not hired. Does that mean that this matter is over? It won't be brought up again in the future, right?"

Luo Zhan said: "It has been recorded. Even if it is dug up in the future, there will be something to say. Besides, it was the man in black who made the first mistake. Luo Li was just excessive self-defense."

After a pause, Luo Zhan said, "If you don't want to go to the government office, I can also recommend you to the army. Your skills and strength... are pretty good."

He meant what he said. He had seen the wounds on the man in black at the time, and after seeing them, he felt that if Luo Li was trained a little, he would be a useful soldier - if not, sending him to Her Majesty the Queen's guard would also be a good choice.

He is meticulous, strong, and decisive. He looks like a good candidate no matter how you look at him.

Xu Yun was speechless for a moment at Luo Zhan's blatant invitation.

All I can say is that good things will always be snatched away wherever they are placed.

Luo Li was also a little flattered - she already had this feeling when Xu Yun invited her, but she didn't expect that now both the government office and Luo Zhan would send an invitation.

She didn't think she was the hero in the story of a wise man identifying a hero, she just felt that they thought too highly of her.

Xu Yun glanced at Luo Li and said quietly, "Luo Li, now you know how promising your future is, right?"

So don’t ever think about getting married.

Luo Li smiled shyly: "This is everyone's kindness."

Zhao Mu said: "This is because everyone thinks you have real ability. Miss Luo, you must think carefully and don't miss this good opportunity."

Luo Li nodded and thanked him, saying that he would definitely do it.

Having said this, there is nothing else to say.

By noon, the cook had prepared the banquet and Xie Wanqing came to invite everyone to take their seats.

The Xu family had a double celebration today, and everyone was happy. Even Luo Yuan did not say a word to spoil the fun.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly lively.

By the time it was over, everyone had a drunken look on their faces.

Aunt Deng asked Chen Huaniang and Luo Yuan to go back to sleep: "It's still the same yard as before, and it's always been swept. Everything can be used."

Just this one sentence made Luo Yuan stunned.

Luo Yuan looked up and looked at Aunt Deng carefully.

Xie Wanqing came over and sighed, "Even when you went to the farm, your mother was worried about you. How can there be any overnight hatred between mother and son? Whether your mother means well or not, you know it in your heart."

She pushed Aunt Deng and said, "Now that my son has finally come back, he should go back and talk about family matters."

Chen Huaniang also tried to bring the two sides together, and in the end the mother and son returned home together.

The two of them walked in front, while Chen Huaniang lagged behind and thanked Xie Wanqing softly, "Aunt Xie, I really don't know how to thank you. If you hadn't reminded me of those things before I left, we wouldn't know what kind of life we ​​would be living now."

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "Go ahead and have a good talk with your mother-in-law. She is really worried about you."

Luo Zhan thought about it and decided not to go back. Instead, he stayed here and played with Xu Yun and the others.

However, Luo Zhan also found the literati's way of playing a bit boring.

So after playing for a while, Luo Zhan fell asleep sitting there.

He didn't snore, he just sat there, and it was almost impossible to tell that he was asleep, so it took Xu Yun and the others a while to notice him.

Xu Yun covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "Be quiet and don't make any noise. See how long he can sleep."

Gao Yu shook his head: "That's going to take time. In the past, he was famous for this ability during the war. No one could compare to him."

Luo Li sighed: "I guess they didn't have time to sleep during the war, that's why it's like this."

Everyone sighed at the hard work of the soldiers.

I don't know who started it, but they started talking about attacking the Southern Court.

Gao Yu said, "I don't think it will be easy to defeat them in the short term. They have a lot of troops and are rich. If we start a war of attrition, we won't be able to outlast them. I heard that there are four granaries in Jinling City alone, and each granary has tens of millions of kilograms of grain. Even if we close the city gates and just defend the city, the grain will be enough to last for several years."

Luo Li's eyes widened: "So many?"

Zhao Mu smiled: "It may not be true. It could be more."

Zeng Wuji also sighed: "That's just Jinling City. There are so many cities in the south. Moreover, they have more craftsmen, and their weapons and armor are more sophisticated than ours."

Xu Yun really knew about this: "It may not be difficult to fight. The south is actually not united, especially the kings in various places, who are not that loyal. If given the opportunity, they will even rebel directly."

Even if the Southern Dynasty only has half of its territory left, it is still a huge piece of fat meat. Which of those kings would not covet it?

We are all descendants of the same surname, so who is more noble than who? Why can't others sit in that position?

"So what you mean is that now is the best time to attack the south?" Luo Zhan's voice suddenly sounded.

Xu Yun looked up and saw Luo Zhan's frighteningly bright eyes.

I don't know when he woke up.

But facing Luo Zhan's eager look waiting for an answer, Xu Yun could only bite the bullet and continue: "Not necessarily. I'm just saying that the south is not that difficult to fight. But now is not the best time."

Luo Zhan frowned: "But we are recuperating, and they are also recuperating, the gap cannot be narrowed."

Xu Yun sighed: "It's hard to bring peace, but we have to rest and recuperate here. Nine out of ten households are empty and the farmland is abandoned. How can we afford to fight a war?"

"Besides, the whole world is watching now. What is the biggest difference between us and the Southern Dynasty? Our monarch is kind and considerate, and he values ​​the people. He is also willing to employ children from poor families."

“At this point, what we are fighting for is not the city, but the hearts and minds of the people, and the capable.”

The prosperity and peace in the south and the extravagance of the nobles were all built on the blood and sweat of the common people.

Xu Yun knew best how difficult life was for the people in the south.

Taxes are heavy and numerous. After deducting the taxes, it is still unclear whether a family can have enough to eat.

Under such circumstances, how many years can the South last?

Next year, Beihua will become increasingly stable, various benevolent policies will be introduced, and the people will have a better life, and they will not have to worry about being attacked. Many people will start to migrate north.

The aristocratic families are secondary, the most important ones are the wealthy businessmen and the poor.

When wealthy businessmen come, the mall will prosper.

And with the development of air routes, travel between the north and the south will become more convenient, and things will only get better.

The various changes brought about by the merchants will make the entire city of Beiping and even the entire north more prosperous.

First, the people no longer lacked things and could buy things easily. Second, they could find work.

Merchants also paid taxes to the court.

Luo Zhan frowned at what Xu Yun said. He said unconvincedly, "Isn't it the same if we take them down first? The people in the south are demoralized now, and there is no unity everywhere. Isn't it just a good opportunity to defeat them one by one——"

"You need to let the people take it easy. Even the soldiers need to rest." Xu Yun was a little overwhelmed by Luo Zhan's obsession: "Luo Zhan, no one likes war!"

Luo Zhan stood up suddenly and glared at Xu Yun: "How can we unify the world without fighting? How can we live in peace?!"
