The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

"His Royal Highness wants to recruit soldiers?" Lord Liu frowned slightly, "Recruiting soldiers is easy, but raising them is difficult. Although a few workshops can be counted as a lot of money in the past day, there are also many places to spend. Besides, this year's heavy snow, I don't know how the impact will be, except for Mozhou, there is no news of damages from other counties and counties, so it may be that His Highness will transfer money later."

"My king is going to transfer the money," Xie Jingan didn't know what to think of, looking in the direction of Chang'an from afar, and said with a smile, "It is necessary to transfer money to relieve the victims of disasters, and it is also necessary to transfer money to raise soldiers. How about becoming the soldiers and horses under the king's command? The barracks outside Mozhou City are still quite empty, so wouldn't it be like this?"

"This..." Master Liu hesitated and said, "It's also a way, but the population of each state is small, I'm afraid the city guards of each state may not be willing to let people go."

"What a joke," Xie Jing'an sneered, and said with a bit of anger: "If you want money, you'll be happy, and if you do something else, you'll push back and forth. In my opinion, they are just a few bags of money. I will keep such officials as they have. What's the use?"

Liu Zhubo saw that Xie Jingan was angry, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness, calm down, it's not that the city guards of the states are unwilling to let people go, it's because the population is too small, and the annual tax is heavy. Send some to the border. The people are already miserable. If so many people are released again, what will they have to plow the fields in the next spring? Food is the most important thing for the people. If there is not enough food, there will be big troubles ah."

Liu Zhubo was heartbroken and looked at Xie Jingan nervously, for fear that he would not listen to his advice.

Xie Jingan didn't expect this consequence, he couldn't help being startled, and sighed for a while: "In the end, the emperor doesn't pay attention to military generals, otherwise, how could the household department and the officials who allocate military rations have the guts to tamper with the rations sent to the border? It’s just that spring plowing is important, and it’s imperative to expand the number of troops. The king doesn’t intend to recruit tens of thousands at one go. He only needs to recruit a few hundred people. As for the population, it’s time to find ways to motivate the people. , Only when the population increases, can the fief become more and more prosperous."

"Your Highness is right," Master Liu said, "It's just a long-term plan. Now the people can barely make ends meet. Even if they give birth, they can't afford it. Instead, they can only sell their sons and daughters to wealthy families. Just add more servants."

This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, Xie Jingan is about to be laughed at by Master Liu, but he also knows that Master Liu is telling the truth, so he suppressed his anger and said lightly: “If you want to support so many people, one is to let The people have more fields to plant, and then increase the output of the fields. The second is to let the people have work and wages, so that even in a drought year, they will not be without food. Regarding these two problems, this king has already done it. With a calculation in my heart, I will discuss it with Mr. Liu when the time is right. The most urgent thing is to make the goods handed over to the various families as soon as possible, so that these goods can be sold to the north and south of the river as soon as possible. To kill the chicken to warn the monkey, the chicken will die as badly as possible, so I have to rely on General Lin to collect all the criminal evidence of the Liu family as soon as possible, so that this king can sing this show."

Ever since Lin Yan was rescued and reused by Xie Jingan, he had always followed his example, and he immediately agreed when he heard the words. Only Master Liu was a little complicated in his heart. He was curious about what Xie Jingan said about his plans, and he also felt more and more that he had a few years ago He was indeed pretending to be crazy, but in fact he was unfathomable. He wanted to ask whether he was arguing or not, but he hesitated for a moment and still didn't ask. He only accepted the order and retreated with Lin Yan.

After the two left, Xie Jingan did not continue to look at the account books, but looked out of the courtyard in a daze, until the candle was about to burn out and made a crackling sound, which woke him up.

Cui Tong thought he was meditating on something, and he didn't dare to disturb him until now, he dared to lead his servants to carefully change the candlelight.

Sending the servants to proceed carefully, Cui Tong also took his steps lightly. Seeing Xie Jingan walking to the desk, he hurriedly followed him to polish the ink, and said cautiously, "Is your Highness going to write something? The candlelight is too dark and it will hurt your eyes. Why don't you ask someone to light up a few more lamps?"

Xie Jingan smiled and rubbed the top of his head, shook his head and said: "This king just came to write a few words suddenly, it won't take long, and you don't have to accompany this king anymore, go down and let the dining room do some work." A small dish, the king will go to the wing room of the west courtyard later, the dishes must be fragrant, the king can point her to ask something from the mouth of the Liu family."

"Your Highness is going to visit the Liu family?" Cui Tong was a little surprised, but also a little nervous, and said, "The Liu family has been locked up in the wing room by His Highness, like crazy. His Highness is swearing, if His Highness goes like this, the Liu family may be disadvantageous to His Highness, why not let Commander Jiang lead the people to tie up the Liu family and bring them here, so that His Highness won't have to walk so long in the cold."

Cui Tong, with the appearance of a young adult, was exhorting and suggesting at the same time. Seeing that Xie Jingan's mood eased a lot, he couldn't help pinching him lightly on the face, and then smiled and said: "The Liu family is now It's the fish on the king's chopping board. It's just a matter of time whether to kill or cut it. Besides, it's in the mansion of the king. Why should the king be afraid of him? But what you said is also reasonable. Let's let Shen Wei accompany you. Bring two more guards, with them, you can rest assured, right?"

It would be hard for Cui Tong to relax if he didn't tie up the members of the Liu family, but he also knew that Xie Jing'an had always been upright, and he was afraid that talking too much would make him bored, so he had to give up.

After sending Cui Tong out, Xie Jingan lost his scruples, found an extremely comfortable position to sit on the chair, and then began to recall some military dramas he had watched before crossing, combined with some items of military training in college, planed to go to the military Physical boxing and other unexplainable things, made a training plan.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Lin Yan's ability, but that he plans to use the soldiers recruited this time as grassroots officers after the army's expansion, so he must remain loyal to him. Nothing can be more effective than the military training methods of later generations. To hone one's willpower, Xie Jing'an believes that using this plan to train soldiers is braver and better than other armies, but it is definitely second to none in terms of willpower.

After writing the plan, Xie Jingan didn't burn it like before, but put it in a book, and put it carefully on the bookshelf.

In the past, he just traveled here to write some strange things and had to burn them for fear of being discovered by others, but now it is different. Although he has not traveled for a long time, the palace is run by him as a monolith, and he has Cui Tong, his confidant, to help him Looking at the study, he has nothing to worry about now.

After instructing the guards on duty as usual, Xie Jing'an, under the guard of Shen Wei, led the guards carrying the food boxes swaggeringly to the west courtyard wing where Liu's family was imprisoned.

In Xie Jing'an's eyes, the Liu family committed a heinous crime. Naturally, being imprisoned in the wing room was not treated well. The kang was not burned, and only a brazier was prepared for one wing room. The charcoal was enough for a day, but they were not allowed to freeze to death.

As for the food, it is even more perfunctory, what is unpalatable, the water is cold, the bedding is only a thin layer, and the Gong bucket is placed in the wing room, and it will be replaced after a full day. It is a scholarly family, although Liu Qin's branch is not outstanding, but he is pampered and has never suffered. Now he is treated like this by Xie Jingan, one can imagine how tortured it is.

Although he was only locked up in the palace for a few days, Liu Qin seemed to have passed for so many years. He was wrapped in a quilt and sitting by the brazier, but he was still shivering from the cold, and the eldest son beside him was even more unbearable. Dear adult, but still crying like a child, hugged Liu Qin's arm tightly, cried for a long time before getting tired, and fell asleep in a daze.

Liu Qin was also a little sleepy. He had been sleepless for the past few days. If he hadn't been expecting someone to save him, he might not have survived long ago.

Just when Liu Qin carefully recalled his old acquaintances, who would give a helping hand in fear of being confessed by him, the door of the room, which had been closed for several days, was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

He squinted his eyes and looked towards the door, and saw a handsome young man in a thick cloak stepping into the room. Liu Qin, a handsome young man, looked so indifferent before, but now he hates him so much. He could hardly control himself and wanted to pounce on him and die together, but before he could take action, after seeing the tall guard commander who followed behind the young man, Liu Qin felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. It cooled down.

Although he gave up the idea of ​​dying together, Liu Qin still looked at Xie Jingan with fierce eyes, as if he wished to eat his flesh, and said through gritted teeth: "Why does His Royal Highness Shun want to visit this sinner, it was King Shun who collected all of them." Is it because King Shun didn't find anything and wanted to humiliate someone? If King Shun came up with this idea, then I'm afraid he will disappoint King Shun. Influenced by the sage books, he also has a literati style, even if he dies of starvation and cold here today, he still feels that he will not beg for mercy from King Shun."

"What a literati." Xie Jingan smiled, but his eyes were as cold as a knife. "I didn't realize that Mr. Liu not only has a black heart, but also has such a hard heart. It's a pity that I didn't return it." Thinking that these days are too busy to neglect Mr. Liu, I specially asked the dining room to cook some delicious dishes, and wanted to reward Mr. Liu. Since Mr. Liu refused to eat the food that came from the cheap, the king had no choice but to serve these dishes as Mr. Liu wished. Take it to be fed to the dogs."

As if Xie Jingan was really only here to deliver the food, he was about to turn around as he spoke, but before he could take a step, Liu Zheng, who was awakened by their conversation, suddenly rushed towards Xie Jingan, knelt down on the ground in front of Xie Jingan, He smiled apologetically with a dirty face: "Your Highness, don't be angry, my father won't eat it, I will eat it, I am my father's eldest son, it is the same if I eat for him."

Liu Qin never thought that his eldest son would be so soft-boned, his veins bulged out of anger, he clutched his chest and yelled sharply: "Nizi, you naughty son, your father is not dead yet, you just can't wait to treat him like this!" People bow their knees, you are worthy of the ancestors of the Liu family, I must kill you today, it is better than embarrassing you and losing the strength of our Liu family."

As he spoke, he stood up unsteadily and kicked Liu Zheng.

Xie Jing'an watched Liu Zheng being kicked by his father, crying and howling, before motioning for the guards to pull away, and said indifferently: "What is Mr. Liu doing, Mr. Liu is not servile, but he knows the current affairs and is a hero. Mr. Liu should also ask him He is the only one who studies, and besides, this king is the king, and you are the people. Why should you kneel down to this king to be sorry to your ancestors? emperor?"
