Tan Shuanghua was taken aback, she never thought that just by leading a soldier and fighting a battle, she would cause so many troubles. What's more, now that Zhu Youdong is marrying himself, he hasn't written a word. When Li Xiao said this, he knew that someone began to use him, so he paid attention to it. Xiang Li smiled and said, "It's impossible, isn't this even said that you want to marry me,"

Li smiled: "So, before I talked about marrying you, someone started to make trouble with your identity." Think about it again, when the time comes, you will really marry Zhu Youdong, and you will go out to lead the troops to fight, and you don't know what kind of trouble you are going to make. ”

Tan Shuanghua was speechless for a while, and smiled at Li for a while before he smiled: "Then what should I do, how can they think that they want to use my identity to make trouble, and I have nothing to make trouble." ”

Li Xiao looked at Tan Shuanghua's aggrieved appearance and said, "You, fortunately, this happened early, if you wait until he really ascends the throne, then make such a thing." But it's not easy to clean up, maybe your Tan family will be implicated. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "Why are there so many things all of a sudden? I haven't seen anything happen before. Li smiled: "There wasn't before, but now it's different." In history, how many turmoil were involved in the court because of the harem, and finally became a shocking case. Which of these cases can be trivial, and which of them can be good? ”

Although Tan Shuanghua is a little big, but now it is related to the safety of his family, and he suddenly does not dare to mess around. Li Xiao saw that Tan Shuanghua finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Li Xiao continued to explain: "Once a relative is involved, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the court, and people will be rolling. Therefore, when Emperor Taizu founded the Ming Dynasty, he set a rule that "the harem shall not interfere in politics". This is what my relatives have never disturbed the court in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "However, I never thought of letting my two brothers be officials." Li smiled: "Now it is a troubled time, and Zhu Youdong has completely grasped the power of the Restoration Army. There must be some people who are unwilling and want to get a piece of the pie, and you are just a reason for them to use it. ”

After listening to Li Xiao's analysis, Tan Shuanghua said: "These people are really hateful, and they were calculated by them for no reason. Fortunately, a few days ago, my two elder brothers had been sent back to Wanxian. At that time, he told me that his two brothers would be killed if they stayed in Chongqing, and it was true. ”

Li smiled: "So, your current identity is not suitable to lead the army anymore." Zhu Youdong also did this to prevent us from getting involved in these disputes. That's why we weren't allowed to go to the barracks, so as not to give an excuse to those who had ill intentions. Otherwise, as long as we are still in the barracks, such things will not be broken. ”

Li Xiao took Tan Shuanghua's hand and said, "He can protect us intact once, but there are so many calculating people, how can there be such a good result every time?" If you are careless, you are caught by those people, and when those ministers use the law of the country to talk about things, what do you want him to do with us, or our families? ”

Tan Shuanghua realized that Zhu Youdong was protecting herself by not letting her go to the barracks, and remembered that he had quarreled with Zhu Youdong just now, and suddenly regretted a little: "He was obviously protecting me, and I just quarreled with him." Hey, these things are really annoying. ”

Li smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, he is a man, so easy to get angry there." In fact, you were angry because you threatened him with the army. As long as you don't go to the army, I don't think he'll be angry anymore. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "He is too, what can't be said well." I gave the order directly, and I thought it was in the barracks, but I wanted to get it there, and there were all these conspiracies. Now it's okay, if he is really angry, will he not marry me? If you don't want to marry you, you can make it clear, just shake your hand and leave. ”

Li Xiao said a little angrily: "He has always led the army, and besides, he is the commander of the first army in the army, when is it not a military order, who dares to refute him." That's why you dare to talk to him like this, if I really don't marry you, I guess you don't know what to do. ”

Seeing that Tan Shuanghua was still angry, Li smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry." He will soon be His Highness the Prison State, where will he have time to deal with these things. Don't worry, when the time comes, if he doesn't marry you, I'll be the master for you. ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "I'm not worried that he won't marry me, if he really doesn't marry me, I will go back to the Tan family in Wanxian County." Li Xiao sneered: "If you still say such angry things, you, you just don't give him face at all." He's a man, what can you do like this, all the good things have made you choke on bad things. ”

Li Xiao stretched his waist and said, "Okay, we won't go to the barracks in the future, he will be tired enough to be calculated by the people outside, and we will go to find some mess, and when the time comes, we will not have to quarrel every day." ”

Tan Shuanghua sighed and said, "I thought I could lead the army openly, but now I can't even go to the barracks." Li smiled and said: "It's not that we can't go to the barracks, we can't go to the barracks of the army, but we can go to the barracks for regimental training." ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "What's the use of going there, there is no chance to fight on the battlefield at all." It's not interesting at all, it's better to go home directly. ”

Li smiled: "How can it be useless? The people in the regimental training are either disabled people who have retired from the army, or they are soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield. Let's help Zhu Youdong pacify these people, it's much more useful than leading the army in the army. ”

Seeing that Tan Shuanghua couldn't understand, Li smiled and said: "Let's go to appease these retired disabled, then will the soldiers in the army think that even if they are injured and disabled, the Restoration Army is still responsible for the back half of their bodies." They don't have to worry about the future, and they will work harder to kill the enemy on the battlefield. ”

When Tan Shuanghua heard this, he immediately felt justified, and said, "Sister Xiao, how did you think of it?" You can think of such a method, I really admire you. ”

Li smiled and said: "This is what I came up with, this is what my Ming Queen Ma came up with." At that time, Emperor Taizu was fighting outside, and the family was all taken care of by Queen Ma alone. ”

Tan Shuanghua no longer thought about leading the army at this time, and smiled at Li: "Okay, if you can't lead the army, it's okay, it's not bad for us to appease the sergeants who have been trained in the regiment together." Back then, Queen Ma took care of it alone, and now I come to help Sister Xiao. Learn from Queen Ma to take care of the affairs of the family. ”

The two talked intermittently for a while before leaving. Zhu Youdong didn't know what Li Xiao and Tan Shuanghua said, and in the next few days, Tan Shuanghua really stopped running into the barracks. And he no longer babbles about Zhu Youdong, but makes Zhu Youdong a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Youdong asked the two, but both of them dodged and did not answer. Zhu Youdong saw that Tan Shuanghua was not clamoring to lead the army to fight, so he didn't care, as for the 1,000 special troops led by Tan Shuanghua, he still let her lead it.

After this incident, all parties seem to have become more harmonious. In terms of firearms, after Zhang Huangyan's rectification, he also began to make muskets in an orderly manner. Regarding culture and education, no matter how unconvinced Wang Xi was, under Zhu Youdong's strong request, the teaching materials in schools around the country were taught on a practical basis, and those complicated classics were abandoned.

As for the army, there is no need for Zhu Youdong to worry about training at all now, and the generals have become accustomed to Zhu Youdong's strict training, and they have not relaxed their training in the army. Regarding the 60,000 troops led by Jiang Chao, Zhu Youdong has already made arrangements. Let Jiang Chao only select 20,000 soldiers to stay, and all the others were scattered and moved to Jiading, Xuzhou, Meizhou and Yazhou respectively, so that they could open up wasteland.

After Zhu Youdong's continuous migration to Sichuan, the current population of Sichuan has reached about 3 million. But compared with the Apocalypse, during the Chongzhen period, the population declined by less than one time. This is still the current statistics after the large number of people who moved into the Ming Army.

In fact, there is a difference between the statistics of the Restoration Army and the official statistics of the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, local Tusi and ethnic minorities were not included in the statistics. The Ming Dynasty counted only the Han people, or the Turen and the few people who had broken away from the Tusi and completely integrated into the Han people. And now the Restoration Army counts everyone in the whole of Sichuan, so it seems that there are a lot of people.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty counted that the number of Sichuan people was between 6 million and 7 million, and if you add the local people, it should be about 14 million people. The massacre of the Qing army after entering Sichuan led to a large reduction in the population of Sichuan, and when the Manchus completely ruled Sichuan, there were only 80,000 people in Sichuan, of course, this is only the calculated Han people.

It was not until later that the Manchu Qing Dynasty strengthened the rule of Sichuan, coupled with large-scale immigration, so that all Sichuan was changed to the land and returned to the river. Therefore, by the time of the Jiaqing period, the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had reached about 28 million.

This population may seem like a lot, but after 150 years of reclamation of the Huguang River, these people have been breeding in Sichuan for 150 years. There are also the families of officers and soldiers stationed in Sichuan in various places, as well as the small people in various places. The Manchu government also allocated a large part of the Duogansi Division to Sichuan, which is now Ganzi Aba and Liangshan.

Of course, the population is huge, but in fact, if the Ming Dynasty's statistical method is used to count only Han Chinese, it is estimated that it will recover to about seven million.

At present, the population of Sichuan according to the statistics of the Fuming Army is only about 1.5 million Han people, and this is the result of Zhu Youdong's vigorous migration of the population. The population of Yunnan, Guizhou and other places is even smaller, with a total of about one million, which is still counting the few natives who can be counted now.

Seeing the population of Sichuan today, and looking at the population of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, the total population is only 4 million, which is less than Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, and it has just returned to the population of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

Zhu Youdong rubbed his head and said to himself: "It seems that we have to encourage the birth of a population, otherwise, with this number, how can we feed the army." With the current productivity, it is only ten husbands and one soldier. The total population of Yunnan-Guichuan is now 4 million, but due to the war, there are now few men, and most of them are women, children, the elderly and children. It would be nice to have 1.2 million adult men, and there are many people who have been disabled by the war. ”

Zhu Youdong thought for a while and said to Peng Changbao: "You go and find Lin Asan for me." Then let him find a few skilled doctors. Peng Changbao said yes and left.

As soon as Peng Changbao went out, Zhu Youdong saw Wang Jincai coming in with two small officials. Just saw Zhu Youdong, Wang Jincai was also full of emotion, the people who farmed together at the beginning are now the high-ranking Hou Ye, and he is about to be the son of heaven.

Thinking of this, Wang Jincai was about to kneel down and salute Zhu Youdong, Zhu Youdong went up and hugged him: "Elder Wang, what are you doing here?" Why do you and I have to see each other like this? ”

Wang Jincai said: "The old man doesn't dare to be presumptuous, now that you are the Hou Ye, you will soon be in charge of the country." Etiquette cannot be abolished, etiquette cannot be abolished. ”
