Liu Wu helped Mu Shi with his work and learned more about it, and said: "Your father didn't stop us, we have accumulated a lot of food in the North over the years, and it's passable. Just one hand, and the prefect also said that what they lack the most in the Northland is people."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly. There are wars in the north all the year round. The vast land is sparsely populated, and it is true that it lacks the most people.

Seeing that Liu Wu was sweating on his forehead, Mu Yangling knew that he was wearing too much heat, so he hurriedly said, "Uncle Wutang has worked hard all the way, so go down to wash and rest, and when the children come back in the evening, let them see uncle too." male."

How could Liu Wu dare to accept this name? He is the nephew of Liu Daqian who went out of Wufu. He worked as a steward in the manor of the government. Although he did not sell himself, he was still employed by others, so it was not easy to work in Canada.

So Liu Wu said humbly: "It should be the young one who greets the young masters."

Mu Yangling was thinking about the affairs of the Northland, and he was not good at shirking with others, so he only made a concession and asked Lichun to take him down.

Li Chun took him outside, and said with a smile: "I often hear my mother mentioning my uncle's house, but I have never had the chance to meet people from my uncle's house. This time, my fifth uncle will stay for a longer time..."

Liu Wu complied with a little restraint.

In the evening, Qi Haoran came back just before dinner time. Mu Yangling looked at his tired expression and couldn't help asking: "Is the North Land going to be in chaos?"

Qi Haoran was taken aback for a moment, thinking of Zhu Liang's reply, he knew that she had learned about the situation in Beidi from Liu Wu, and he no longer kept it a secret, saying: "I wanted to take this opportunity to recover the lost land, but big brother No answer."

Mu Yangling frowned slightly, "Since there is going to be chaos in Dajin, this is indeed an opportunity for us. Wouldn't it be good to take advantage of the strong treasury and our strong army to recover the lost land? You have cultivated a lot of talents over the years. The generals who are used, take this opportunity to let the newcomers make meritorious service, and the old generals retire, and if it continues, the more cultured, the generals may not be accepted, and the Great Zhou..."

"I've told my eldest brother all these things. General Yuan, father-in-law, and several generals in the court have expressed such intentions," Qi Haoran said solemnly: "It has always been my eldest brother's wish to recover the lost land, and he had planned it a few years ago. Well, although the Dajin Snowstorm is severe, it hasn't broken any nerves yet, but if there is chaos in their country, we will take another shot..."

"But who can guarantee that there will be chaos in Dajin?"

Qi Haoran replied vaguely: "It's already in chaos..."

Mu Yangling looked at him in surprise.

Qi Haoran smiled at her, and said in a low voice: "The nail we buried in Dajin back then has worked."

Mu Yangling stared at him blankly. He knew about it, but he didn't expect that those people could provoke the people of Dajin to rebel.

At that time, the minds of the few people were very simple, just to regain the lost land, so they sent a lot of nails to Dajin. There were Han people, and there were mixed races of various nationalities. It is a success if you can know some movements of the Daikin army and know some news in advance when the battle starts.

Who knew how many of them could stir up civil strife in Daikin?

Speaking of it, it is also the national conditions of Daikin.

It has been nearly three hundred years since Dajin established the country, the regime has gradually become corrupt, and the people in the country have always been divided into ranks.

Daqi has a hierarchy of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce, but Dajin divides it by race. Ordinary Han people belong to the fourth class, while other ethnic minorities who are occupied like them are classified into the fifth class, which is worse than the Han people. Not as good.

And the Jurchens were divided into many tribes. These tribes fought with each other, and naturally some were captured. The enslavement of such people was even worse.

The Han people are tough but also tolerant, but these ethnic minorities can't bear it for long. They have accumulated capital and people's hearts and turned against them. The nails they buried in Dajin happen to be mixed with the team, and they become military advisers. They can not only help the other party to give advice, They also contacted Daqi and asked for some weapons. This natural disaster was a disaster for them, but it was also an opportunity.

"Although that man still obeys the eldest brother, he already wants to stand on his own." Qi Haoran lowered his voice and said, "If he comes back, he will be a fourth-rank guard at most, but he can stay in Dajin. If things work out, he will be a first-rank prime minister He can’t run away, and my eldest brother and I don’t have to ask him to be loyal to us, as long as he is still loyal to us in his heart.”

"The Lost Earth..."

"It was used by them to trade with us. They promised that as long as they are given a batch of weapons, they will return the lost land after they replace Daikin."

Mu Yangling looked at Qi Haoran, "Do you believe them?"

Qi Haoran chuckled, lay down on the bed with his wife in his arms, and said in a low voice: "It's the same as whether they believe that we won't take advantage of the fire. It is worthwhile to produce a batch of weapons to reduce our casualties, for Daqi, talent is the most important thing.”

Mu Yangling nodded slightly. Daqi has a small population. Last year, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported more than 50 million people. There are households that can be checked. However, under the policies of the past few years, there are very few hidden households and refugees who are still hiding. There are very few, so few that they can be ignored in front of this huge base, and many of them are newborns in recent years.

There is no way, the Great Zhou has been in chaos for more than 20 years, and the population loss is too large. Even if the Great Qi has recuperated in the past few years, the population is still not very large.

Regaining lost land will definitely cost people, food and wealth can be regained, but if you want labor, you have to wait at least sixteen years.

Mu Yangling felt relieved, "I thought you were going to fight."

"It depends on their actions. If it's fast, I'm afraid I'll go to Beidi in two or three years. If it's slow, it will be five or six years."

Qi Haoran patted her on the back reassuringly, and said in a low voice: "It may take several years to go out again, and I'm afraid it will be the last time. After all, it is not appropriate to go to war after regaining the lost land. My brother and I are very concerned about their I don't have much interest in the land, Ah Ling, will you go with me when the time comes?"

Mu Yangling was taken aback, he didn't expect Qi Haoran to make such a request.

"I'll take you back to the Northland to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I know you've been thinking about it all these years, but because of me, you have never had the chance to visit your relatives." Qi Haoran said in a low voice, "Taking advantage of the opportunity of the expedition, I will take you back for a while." Take a trip." I'm afraid it will be the last trip.

This is also what Qi Haoran did not say.

This is the downside of inconvenient transportation. Beidi is too far away from them. If Mu Yangling didn't go to Beidi to take office, it would be almost impossible for Mu Yangling to go back to her natal home.

However, there are too many memories of them there, not to mention Mu Yangling, even Qi Haoran really wants to go back with Mu Yangling for a walk, and seriously, there is only a chance when he goes out to fight.

Mu Yangling lay on Qi Haoran's chest, nodded, and said sullenly: "When the time comes, I will leave all the children to my sister-in-law and cousin."

"Okay," Qi Haoran said cheerfully, "Then you help Xiao Xia bring more Xiao An Xiao Fu now, so that she can't refuse when the time comes."
