Thank you Uncle for being a sachet for the color cat!

Now we recruit soldiers to adopt the "world soldier system" and the "assessment system", both of which can ensure that the recruited troops are conducive to the battlefield, and if one is recruited from each household among the people, it will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of uneven quality and disparity in ability, and they must also pay them corresponding material subsidies, which is not equivalent to spending money to raise a group of people? Emperor Guangzhao looked at her and asked with a puzzled face.

"No, the purpose of the standing army is to serve as an emergency, that is to say, they go wherever they are needed, and they do not exist only for the purpose of war, as is the case with regular formations. And our next work of building the city and digging the city is exactly what we need to do. Xi Zhen replied unhurriedly.

Emperor Guangzhao's eyes lit up.

"This is a good idea, it is much more efficient to organize them to do things than to organize people to do things." Emperor Guangzhao nodded and said.

"Moreover, they are paid much less than the regular soldiers, so the share of the funds that consume the treasury is not very high, but they can accomplish a lot. Moreover, their term of service is three years, and after three years of training, they will certainly be able to have considerable combat experience, and they will be able to be sent to the battlefield at any time if there is a need for combat. Xizhen continued.

"Then, building fortresses, building cities, and digging cities all cost a lot of money, and if any of these are to be implemented, I'm afraid that the already poor economy of Xi Country will be worse." Emperor Guangzhao said worriedly.

"No, they are not carried out at the same time, in order to achieve the effect of slow completion, the courtiers wrote a plan and asked the emperor to take a look." Hee Zhen said, taking it out of his pocket.

Emperor Guangzhao was surprised again—it turned out that she had planned it a long time ago, and while secretly praising her talents, she was faintly afraid.

So when she handed him the plan, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

However, as a person who has seen the world and experienced the bloody storm, he quickly realized his narrow-mindedness, and people like Xizhen are rare talents who govern the country, isn't it a waste to make good use of them? So he smiled and took the plan she handed over.

He opened it and looked at it, but saw that it was written: It will take half a year to complete the heavy pressure on the border, and then half a year to complete the work of building a fortress on the border. At this time next year, the income from our trade with the three countries will also be returned, and this part of the income will be used to recruit a standing army. After recruiting the standing army, we began to build the city and dig the city. Then, four underground tunnels were dug underground in each city to facilitate the evacuation of people and property in case of emergency.

At the same time, due to the increase in the number of soldiers, the responsibility of military management will also increase, so the emperor will hold an annual assessment of military managers, so that those who can go up and those who can't go down, appoint people on the basis of merit, so that they can have a good military style and military discipline.

This is followed by a detailed implementation plan for the establishment of a standing army......

Looking back and forth at this plan, carefully considering its significance, Emperor Guangzhao found that every building in it was so reasonable, timely and convincing, and Emperor Guangzhao's admiration for her suddenly increased a little, and his eyes looking at her were also full of appreciation.

"It's good to build yì, except for the one that I think is necessary to press the realm with heavy troops, the rest should be slowed down and then calculated." Emperor Guangzhao said.

Xi has a small population and not many financial and material resources, so he doesn't want to work too hard.

But of course, he also recognized the great benefits of doing these things, but he was not willing to go to such great lengths.

He is a king who is easily satisfied, and because of this, he does not have a long-term vision.

"The courtiers feel that if they are too conservative, they may not even be able to keep their old roots, and if they are in the right direction, their efforts will have results, and if they are in the wrong direction, even if they don't do anything, there will still be disasters. As the saying goes, unite as one, on the issue of funds, the courtiers think that the rich people in each city can donate a sum of money, and they can also go to the people to raise funds, and the people will donate voluntarily, as long as you give the will, this kind of project for the benefit of the people is believed to be able to get everyone's support. Xizhen said.

"Well, that's a good idea." The little hesitation and scruples in Emperor Guangzhao's heart were finally gone.

He had heard most of the above proposals from the ministers, but none of them had been able to present them so systematically, and arrange them in such a way that he had the urge to carry them out at once.

"Excellent! Tomorrow, I will ask someone to count the silver taels needed for these projects, and when the number is out, I will discuss it with the ministers, and then I will announce that you will go to court, and we will discuss it together before making a final decision. Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.

Such a big move must be implemented with everyone's consent.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty! By the way, the emperor, the courtiers have something to ask for. Xizhen heard Emperor Guangzhao say this, and he already had a bottom in his heart, so he immediately took this opportunity to mention Jiang Weibai's matter.

"Please."

"The courtiers have a good friend, she is the daughter of Uncle Jiang Ping of Dali Temple, we worship the former court qin master Wen Sibo as a teacher, her piano skills are comparable to the courtiers, and there is still a lack of a palace doctor in the Xiyi Museum, so the courtiers dare to recommend her, hoping to give her a chance."

Hearing that it was Uncle Jiang Ping's daughter, Emperor Guangzhao nodded and said, "Tomorrow, ask her to go to the Xiyi Pavilion to see the steward, if she can pass the assessment of the steward, she can be hired, if she can't pass it, then I can't do it." ”

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

"But if you say it first, even if she is admitted, it will still be you who comes to play the piano to me every afternoon, not her."

"The courtiers understand."

After talking about these strict topics, the expressions of the two finally relaxed.

Emperor Guangzhao looked at her and asked with a smile: "Miss Shen, you watch a lot of politics on weekdays. Governing the books about it? ”

"It's not much. The courtiers just thought of these problems, so they just talked to the emperor. ”

Emperor Guangzhao smiled and asked again: "Miss Shen, are you interested in someone?" ”

Xi Zhen seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and replied unhurriedly: "The courtiers believe that marriage is destined, and as the saying goes: what is forced is difficult to last, so there is no bother to force it, and the courtiers will know when it is about to appear." ”

This was a wonderful answer, both subtly answering his question and euphemistically indicating his willingness not to be decided by others, and Emperor Guangzhao was once again impressed by her wit.

"I almost forgot that you knew about occultism, so, do you mean you're going to marry someone you think fit?"

"Yes."

"Then I hope you meet him soon." Emperor Guangzhao smiled slightly.

"Thank you, I hope to accept your words! It's not too early, so the courtiers won't delay your time, and the courtiers will retire first. ”

"Well, go ahead."

Shen Xizhen immediately walked out of the Zichen Hall with the qin in his arms.

When he approached the gate of the palace, Xi Zhen saw Gonggong Liu leading a person striding towards this side.

That person was none other than the Cloud Heaven Master.

Hee Zhen passed by him.

He was also a man who was proficient in occult arts, and Xi Zhen immediately became aware of his identity.

Xi Zhen smiled at him and continued to walk, and Yun Tianshi was also taken aback at the moment when he met her eyes, and he almost blurted out a sentence.

After walking a few feet away, Yuntian Master asked Gonggong Liu, "Who was that woman just now?" ”

"Shen Xizhen, the daughter of Shen Zhihao, the former envoy of the festival, is currently a doctor of palace education." Liu Gonggong replied.

"Oh, I've heard of her." Yun Tianshi suddenly smiled. This woman's face is a rare and precious appearance!

After entering the Zichen Palace, Yuntian Shi immediately knelt down and saluted Emperor Guangzhao. Emperor Guangzhao greeted him with a smile and told Gonggong Liu to step down.

Emperor Guangzhao wrote down the birthdays of Chu Zican, Chu Zihou, and Shen Xizhen on a blank piece of paper, and said to Master Yuntian, "Please help me see which of them is more suitable for this woman to marry." ”

Yun Tianshi looked at the eight characters of the birthdays of these three people, and immediately spread out a blank piece of paper and quickly calculated it on it.

Emperor Guangzhao looked at him without blinking, waiting for his answer.

After about a stick of incense, the pen in Yun Tianshi's hand stopped.

Yun Tianshi took the piece of paper and walked up to Emperor Guangzhao, pointed to one of them and said, "It's not very suitable for him, although it's not very rushed, but they can't fulfill each other, and there are no regrets." Then he pointed to the other one and said: "It is a match made in heaven with him, but the process may be more tortuous, and there may even be swords and swords, but if you can rush through them one by one, it will be an excellent marriage, and it will also be beneficial to the future of the country." ”

Emperor Guangzhao looked at those counts and nodded.

Yuntian Shi is the most powerful physiognomy in the Xi Kingdom, and he is accurate in his calculations, so the numbers he calculates are convincing.

After sending off the Yuntian Master, Emperor Guangzhao wrote a letter and sealed it.

"This letter, send someone to Shen Zhihao's house to Du Qi Niang, remember, you have to hand it over to Du Qi Niang, and it can't fall into the hands of others." Emperor Guangzhao instructed Gonggong Liu.

"No!" Gonggong Liu immediately received the order to do so.

Soon, the letter was handed over to Du Qiniang by the person who sent it.

After Du Qiniang received the letter, she quietly collected the letter according to his instructions, and at night, she opened it in her room to read it.

When she saw that the signature below was the current saint, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.

She read the brief letter on her knees.

After reading it, her expression was very solemn, she really didn't expect things to be so complicated, but for the safety and happiness of her daughter, she had to cooperate with the emperor's wishes, and she couldn't say anything.

She carefully placed the letter in a brocade box, and locked it in a cabinet along with the brocade box.
