Lu Dabao is very depressed, Ouyang Xi is very distressed, just such a little, actually let the dignified Emperor of Shu and the Prime Minister of the First Auxiliary State correct their mistakes to this point, it is really a bit unbelievable to say, but if the actions of the two in recent years are coherent, especially what Lu Dabao has done, it is not surprising.

The first head-to-head confrontation between Ouyang Xi and Lu Dabao was the "Golden Palace Instigation". The initial effect is very considerable, the enthusiasm and initiative of the old ministers of Shu and the new generals have been greatly mobilized, sweeping away the lazy style of officialdom, everyone is vying for the first, and everyone is working hard. For example, to raise supplies for the Ten Route Army, the old ministers can do it in five days, and the upstarts can complete it in seven days, and the speed of terror is enough to explain everything.

However, there is always good and bad. Under normal circumstances, the old and new courtiers should go through repeated frictions, and after one struggle after another, the contradictions will be slowly exposed, so that there will be a buffer period, whether it is the supreme ruler, or the loyal and brave ministers can have enough time to mediate and adjust, but now, the buffer period is gone, and the contradictions are directly placed on the table by Lu Dabao, what will be the consequences?

In the early days, the victory of the old ministers who raised grain and grass was two days earlier than the relatives and nobles. The first battle was victorious, and the old ministers had the advantage, and the materials and population of the Fifth Route Army were three times that of the upstarts. The logistics supply of the old ministers is completely victorious, whether it is transported into the mountains or out of the mountains, the daily handover of materials and the population are all upstarts. Therefore, in that period, the upstarts had to avoid the old ministers, and if they didn't avoid, they had to salute, and the official rank below the fourth rank had to bow down, and they could be bullied on weekdays, so could the upstarts not get angry?

In the middle period, the Five Route Legions of the old minister's forces were all played, the long was a year, the short was half a year, and the 25,000 soldiers and horses survived no more than double digits, and they were blocked by people at the mountain gate and ambushed for a while, and the traders and people did not care about the casualties. And although the upstarts are not having a good time, but the generals' abilities are outstanding, and the left and right blocks are considered to have saved some seeds, and it is difficult to choose which is better or worse, and the upstarts also have a "turtle faction Liu Yi", which makes people cry and laugh very disgusting, so at that time, the two factions met like a rooster in a cockfighting ring, and they would never stop if they didn't quarrel and scold.

In the later period, the power of the old ministers shrank across the board, while the power of the new upstarts sprung up. Ouyang Xi's talent was fully exerted in Wenchen, from Emperor Lu Dabao to ordinary people, no one was unconvinced, no one was not applauded. In terms of military strength, the national army was divided up by the upstarts, especially the "Turtle Sect Liu Yi", who was not only named the second generalissimo of Shu, but also controlled all the troops except the Imperial Forest Army.

Looking at the before, during and after the three periods of the "military competition", you can clearly feel the intensity of the contradictions, if it were not for Ouyang Xi, a genius, with great ability and strong ability, I am afraid that civil strife would have broken out in Shu long ago, and it would not have been maintained until now. Of course, this can also show that Ouyang buddies are really bothered, and they dare not say that they are doing their best, but they must not have run away for the public all night.

Ouyang Xi and Lu Dabao's second head-to-head confrontation is "encouraging childbirth". At that time, Shu was in the most difficult period, although with the help of some outsiders such as Ouyang Xi and Liu Yi, the country's development was difficult, especially in terms of labor, and there was a huge gap. In response to this problem, Lu Dabao didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he issued three decrees regardless of it.

First, encourage childbearing. Any woman who has reached the age of 16 in Shu has to pay 5,000 taels of silver per year if she has only one child, 3,000 taels of silver per year if she gives birth to two children, 1,000 taels of silver per year if she gives birth to three children, 1,000 taels of silver per year if she gives birth to four children, and so on.

Second, marriage is encouraged. All Shu women who have reached the age of 16 must marry as soon as possible, and they need to pay 5,000 taels of state taxes every night for a year, which will be doubled in five years and doubled in ten years. If they are not married by the age of 30, they will be drafted by the state and sent to the front as "comfort women". In addition, widows are also among the women to be married, and the time of taxation is calculated from the date of her husband's death.

Third, encourage recruitment. Any woman who has reached the age of 16 in Shu can recruit a foreign man, and the state will issue a bonus of 500 taels of silver, and if she can recruit a foreign man's family, the state will issue a bonus of 1,000 taels of silver, and the widow is also a widow. If the same woman recruits three or more foreign men or the whole family, a bonus will be given to each person or country, and a special contribution award of 10,000 taels of silver will also be awarded.

For these three decrees, Ouyang Xi's hateful teeth itched, from Lu Dabao had this idea began to persuade, until the day before the promulgation, all the recruits who could be made were used, but unfortunately they were not persuaded, Lu Dabao directly issued a decree in the name of the emperor, the result can be imagined, summoning a scolding inside and outside the government and the opposition, followed by chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the "White Python Mountain" hinterland Shu territory for a time in the territory of the rotten ass is frequent.

Because of the war, the men in Shu were very thin, seven or eight out of ten people were women, and because of the defeat of the old ministers, half of these seven or eight women were widows, and now that the family has died, there are only the old and weak women and children left, and the emperor of Shu has issued such a fucking decree, what should I do? Anyway, as long as you get married, don't you have to pay taxes, what else can you do? As for the matter of childbirth, let's take one step at a time, and if it really doesn't work, we will find someone else to "borrow seeds."

Taking the Imperial City of Shu as an example, the men dare not go out on the street alone at night, and if anyone dares to cross it, maybe there will be a few old ladies in their forties and fifties, who will be dragged into a certain house and locked up. Then, forcibly hold a wedding, forcibly pull into the cave room, forcibly hey, he, he As for whether this man is married, beautiful and ugly, old or young, he will not be considered, and he will fool Lu Dabao's decree first, otherwise he will be fined!

Also taking the imperial city of Shu as an example, there are many wives and concubines of powerful and handsome men, especially those who are handsome, which is even more fragrant. According to unreliable rumors, a handsome boy in the imperial city of Shu has been favored by many middle-class boudoir girls because of his good looks, and there are countless people who "borrow" from him, and at most five families propose to "borrow" from him in one day.

The reason for "borrowing seeds" is very simple, the people who marry young girls are all servants in their families, some are old, some are young, and some are ugly, but they are only husband and wife in name, and there is no substance. However, isn't there still a "birth tax" if the "marriage tax" is exempted, and if you fail to complete the task within a year, you will also be fined, and the husband at home will not use it, or he will not look down on it, and he will not go outside to "borrow", what should he do?

As a virtuous minister, Ouyang Xi's attitude on this matter is very clear, that is, he disagrees, but it is useless for him to disagree, Lu Dabao slapped the board, what can he do if he disagrees? First reassure the people, and then formulate relevant supporting systems, such as standardizing the marriage procedures, trying to avoid all beautiful women falling into the homes of a small number of people, and then stipulating the scope of marriage, minimizing the marriage of close relatives, as well as eugenics, disease prevention, social security, etc., anyway, we have tried our best.

The third head-to-head confrontation between Ouyang Xi and Lu Dabao is "Education for All". In view of the large number of newborns in recent years, Lu Dabao didn't know what to think about, and somehow came up with a "national education plan". The specific content is very good, but the actual situation is very poor, the hinterland of "White Python Mountain" is so big, and the population is only about 100,000.

When it comes to literacy, the foundation of Shu is relatively good, and most of the subjects of the earliest batch of Shu are literate, but literacy does not mean that they can teach, nor does it mean that they can engage in enlightenment education. As a result, as soon as the decree came out, even the gentleman who measured the word and fortune was forcibly recruited and became the first batch of teachers of enlightenment education in Shu, so angry that Ouyang Yi did not eat for three days, and he took nine resignations in a row.

Such a big confrontation, in the past five years, Ouyang Xi and Lu Dabao have had more than 20 times, and the smaller ones don't need to be mentioned, such as Lu Dabao marrying a little daughter-in-law, running outside to get flowers and grass, stealing money from the treasury to relieve the poor, etc., everything that Ouyang Xi can settle within a month is not a problem, and there must be dozens of hundreds in a few years, and now Lu Dabao says that he has an idea again, can Ouyang Xi not be afraid?

"Uh, Aiqing, this matter, let it go first, let it go. I have a big matter on my hand to discuss with you. Lu Dabao and Ouyang Xi corrected their mistakes for a long time, and they really felt bored, so they changed the topic stupidly.

"The emperor's order is ......" Ouyang Xi was afraid when he heard the word "consultation" now, so when he saw Lu Dabao change the topic or discuss, he couldn't help but feel a chill again.

"Liu Yi wants to play big, you can see what to do. Lu Dabao was a little angry, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "What's wrong with this, you will tremble as soon as I say it, as for it?"

"How big is it?" Ouyang Xi furrowed his brows and asked solemnly.

"The **** wants to fight 'Junyang City', and he wants to use this as a foundation to occupy most of the Southern Zhou Kingdom, grandma's, he really dares to think about it!"

"The minister thinks that if he is in a hurry, he can slow down his pace and hit some smaller towns first. ”

"Well, that's right, I just learned how to walk the aisle, why do you want to run? Uh, it's me, I, quack......"

"Ahem, the ministers dare to ask the emperor, where do you think they should fight next?"

"Of course it's 'Xubao Town', I heard that there are more than 100,000 people there! Moreover, I heard that the girls there are very handsome, with bright eyes, long braids, round buttocks, bulging breasts, and they are old and cute!"

"Ahem, minister, the minister thinks the emperor is a little conservative......"

"Conservative? Didn't you keep saying that I was, uh, no, it's me, didn't you keep saying that I was very avant-garde? I remember when I married Princess Ruohua, you were still in a hurry with me, why has it only been more than a year ago, how have you changed?"

"Ahem, minister, the minister means that you are a little conservative in this matter, that is, where General Liu should attack......"

"Oh, that's what happened, I thought you had finally relented, quack, quack......"

"Ahem, the minister has already expressed his position on the matter of the emperor's concubine, unless the minister dies, the minister will never allow the emperor to accept another concubine!"

"What if I have made up my mind?"

The minister retired to the mountains and forests, and never again planned for the emperor. ”

"Can't you just discuss it? Xiao Yiyi already has my seed!"

"No way!"

"Hmph, then you say, where do you say Liu Turtle should fight!"

"I think 'Nanling City' is more suitable. ”

"Hey, you, are you sure?'Nanling City' is a big city, with a population of more than one million and more than 300,000 defenders, can Liu Yi's less than 200,000 soldiers and horses be defeated?"

"As far as the minister knows, there are three soldiers and horses stationed in 'Nanling City', one is the miscellaneous army of foreign relatives in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although there are many soldiers and horses, there are nearly 150,000 people, but the combat power is low, and it is really a rabble. The second is the general of Zhenbei, with 50,000 people and ordinary combat power. In addition, there is also an elite division known as the 'Lion of the Southern Zhou Dynasty'. ”

"Then, then you dare to move forward, but can't?"

"Coincidentally, the commander of the elite division of the 'Southern Zhou Lions' has eight friendships with General Meng Ao, and the minister has a plan to surrender him without much effort. ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, just do Ya's 'Nanling City'! Oh, I didn't expect that I Lu Dabao would have to occupy a big city with a population of one million one day......"

"Ahem, the minister will retire......"

"Huh, you, are you leaving?"

"The emperor's holy will has been decided, and the ministers should immediately draft the decree. ”

"It's not bad for a while, what's that, the kneeling ceremony I told you just now, that's it. ”

"This, the minister thinks ......"

"Don't think so, that's it! In addition, you can think about Xiao Yiyi's affairs, and she should give birth in half a year, what's the matter with this unrighteous person!

"But, Kechen really can't think of a trick! It's only been five years, and you've calculated for yourself, how many rooms have you already married? One is pregnant in March, one is fascinated in half a year, and another one has to marry in a year, this, this, this ......."

"So what do you say?"

"Alas, that's it, I'll help you one last time......"

"Oh yes, this is my good love. Alright, let's have a drink together in the evening, and it just so happens that I, uh, I, I have one more thing to discuss with you. ”

“……”

Ouyang Xi left the hall with a sad face, today's "discussion" made him take care of two rotten ass things, needless to say with a heavy heart. Lu Dabao stared at his back and slowly put away his smile, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

"Your Majesty, why did you recruit the old slave?" At this time, an old eunuch walked out of the dark corner of the main hall, stood respectfully behind Lu Dabao and asked.

"How is Guo Xiaotian's military training?" Lu Dabao did not look back, but asked in a low voice.

"Good. The old eunuch replied.

"Well, tell him to double the number of troops by the end of this year. Lu Dabao nodded lightly and said.

"Double the number of troops again, Your Majesty, if it is doubled, there will be 200,000, and it may not be easy to hide it from Lord Zaifu. The old eunuch was shocked when he heard this, and reminded softly.

"Hehe, what can I do if I can't hide it? If my 'Ghost King Army' has 200,000 people, who will the world be afraid of? You go back and tell Guo Xiaotian that I will give him another ten years, and in ten years I will see a million-strong 'Ghost King Army'!" Lu Dabao turned around and stared at the old eunuch and said coldly.

"Yes, the old slave obeys......" the old eunuch shuddered and hurriedly bowed down.

"Drama the world, Zang Hongzhi, hehe, old man, it's really not easy to be an emperor......" Lu Dabao looked up at the top of the hall and whispered softly.
