The night of Longyou in October is much colder than in the daytime.

The kang bed was burning warm, and there was a small table on it, and Feng Yong sat cross-legged on it, burying his head in writing.

The oil lamps in three different directions shine quite brightly, but there are no shadows to obstruct them, and they don't hurt the eyes too much.

Guan Ji soaked her feet, climbed onto the kang, and asked softly, "What is Ah Lang writing?" ”

"Well, write a winter training plan."

Feng Yong raised his head and replied, "By the way, Xi Jun, Si Niang said to send a letter to Li Feng during the day, and when the time comes, I will ask Xi Jun to help me write it." After all, my words are too ugly, but Xijun's words are good-looking. ”

Guan Ji answered, leaned over and asked, "Last night, Ah Lang mentioned this winter training plan, and the concubine also asked carefully, what is it?" ”

"I want to select some more people from the Qianghu tribe to join the soldiers under the Qiang Captain, and at the same time let everyone train in the winter to adapt to the severe cold of Longyou."

Feng Yong explained.

In later generations, the recruitment time was basically in October, and the recruits entered the camp in November and December, and the training of the recruits happened to be in the winter.

The coldest time of the year, which is almost the hardest, if they can get through it, then it will be much easier to do it after that.

Therefore, Feng Yong felt that the soldiers under the Captain of Huqiang could also use this method.

"It's just winter, and it's already so cold, and if it takes another month, I'm afraid it will snow. The concubine once heard that it is common for people to freeze to death in this northern winter, let alone frostbite and frostbite. ”

"Ah Lang wants to let the soldiers train in the winter, will it cause dissatisfaction in the army at that time?"

Guan Ji asked with some concern.

"Feed them and clothe them won't." Feng Yong was not worried about this problem at all, "What's more, we still have glycerin, if we apply it to our hands and feet, we won't get frostbite." ”

In later generations, even an only child can endure something, but it makes no sense that in this era of life and death, it will become something that cannot be endured.

"But in this case, I'm afraid that I will have to spend more food and clothing."

Guan Ji understood what Feng Yong meant.

There is basically nothing to do in winter, let alone the Hu people, if they are replaced by the people of Shu in the past, they are only half-full to avoid wasting food.

What's more, there is a shortage of food in Longyou now, according to the plan, the food that each tribe can receive every month this winter is basically to maintain the starvation of people.

Coupled with the wool that was sent, it was barely enough for the Qianghu tribe to survive this winter.

The only ones who can eat enough are the Han army under Captain Huqiang, and a small number of Qiang Hu soldiers who have been recognized as naturalized.

If there are more soldiers and training in the winter, the army will only consume more food.

The Three Kingdoms was the era when the remnants of the Han Dynasty still existed, and the prevalence of Hanism made it impossible for Qianghu to get a green card for the Han people.

Even Jin Ilyan, a successful example of naturalizing Hu people, is only the third generation to become a real Han Chinese.

Not to mention the average Hu people.

Even if the Han officials are like sons, there is still a difference in the treatment of the Han people and the Hu people.

For example, if a wasteland is opened in a border land, and the Han officials give 20 mu to the Hu people, then the Han people will be given at least 30 mu, or 50 mu.

When adjudicating disputes, they can mediate more fairly, and such officials are already rare in the eyes of the Hu people for decades, and they are deeply loved by the Hu people.

Not to mention taxes, the Han people may have had one titax in the Taiping era, but the Hu people may have to pay three or even five taxes, and sometimes they have to use cattle and sheep to offset taxes.

Even at some point, the government and local tycoons would force them into slavery through various means.

But if there is chaos for decades today, coupled with the fact that local wealthy families have taken the opportunity to hide the population, the registered population has decreased rapidly, and more importantly, the Han Dynasty has the least population and territory among the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, it is also the most necessary to replenish the population.

Even if the population was counted two years ago, the registered population in Shu is only 1.6 million, which is still pitifully small compared to Wei.

This situation led to the fact that after the Han Dynasty obtained Longyou, it began to take measures to compile the household of Longyou Qianghu into the people, and at the same time relax the conditions for becoming a Han citizen.

Let them be directly under the jurisdiction of the Han government, bear the same taxes and levies as the Han people, and no longer be arbitrarily bullied by the local wealthy clans.

At least compared to the previous exploits, there is hope.

The Qiang Hu soldiers under the Captain of Huqiang were the first batch of naturalized Hu people who were promoted to Han nationality in Longyou, and they were the tribes that contributed the most to the Han during the Northern Expedition.

Their tribe was also the first to receive preferential treatment.

"I plan to stop distributing Pingxiang's grain, and when the weather is cold, I will let the tribes send their own people to get food stamps to Qishan."

Feng Yong explained, "Dongfeng Express only needs to transport the grain to Qishan, which saves effort and does not damage the horses too much." ”

"In this way, Pingxiang's food can be saved, which is enough to supply this winter's training."

Guan Ji was still a little worried, "Let the tribes get their own food, then when they transport their own grain, the loss will also increase, and if the rations are insufficient, then what?" ”

"The prime minister asked Ah Lang to take the position of captain of Qiang, just to take a fancy to Ah Lang's reputation in Longyou Qianghu, so as to appease Qianghu. If something goes wrong, how can you explain it to the prime minister? ”

Feng Yong smiled with relief, "What we lack is not food, but there is no way to transport food to Pingxiang in winter." Qishan Road is warmer than Longyou in winter, and it is not much of a problem for Yunnan horses to transport grain to Qishan. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and a treachery flashed in his eyes.

"When the time comes, we can give them more food stamps, so that we can not only make up for the loss of their own grain transportation, but also give Qianghu a false impression."

"Let them think that we have increased the food quota, and they will secretly rejoice in their hearts, and we can even win another wave of people's hearts. Rest assured, I'm familiar with this. ”

When Guan Ji heard such brazen words, he was not ashamed when he saw this person, but his face was proud, and he couldn't cry or laugh at the moment.

"Ah Lang is like this to outsiders, if the concubine has a child in the future, I just hope that Ah Lang must remember to teach him honesty before teaching him knowledge."

Watching the beauty under the lamp is more exciting than usual.

At this time, when he heard Guan Ji mention the child, Feng Yong's heart was a little itchy, and he immediately moved Xiao Ji off the kang.

"Why didn't you write it?"

Guan Ji asked a little strangely.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about the child first."

Feng Yong replied as he climbed onto the kang with a smile on his face and leaned towards Guan Ji.

"Sons, I'm going to teach them how to be honest. But isn't it yet? Xijun, what do you think we should do? ”

Guan Ji's face turned red, her eyes flowed, and she snorted, "What do you want to do?" ”

Seeing that Feng Yong didn't answer, he salivated and wanted to get closer, Guan Ji hurriedly held him down, "The concubine still has something to ask you." ”

"More on that later."

"No, I have to say it tonight, otherwise the concubine won't be able to sleep."

"When I sleep, you'll fall asleep."

When Guan Ji saw this person's appearance, he knew that he couldn't make sense with him, so he flipped his hand and clasped his hand, using a little force on his hand.

Feng Junhou's body immediately involuntarily turned over, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Oops! Lighter...... Fine, lighter, it hurts! ”

"The concubine has something to tell you."

Guan Ji relaxed a little, her face pretended to be annoyed, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

"You say, you say, I'll listen!"

Feng Junhou was pinched at this time, and replied again and again.

When Guan Ji heard this, she let him go.

Feng Yong hurriedly withdrew his hand, grinning and rubbing his wrist.

Guan Ji was afraid that he would be really angry, so she pulled him over and helped him rub it, and said softly, "Ah Lang Mo is strange, the concubine just remembered something that had been in her heart for a long time. ”

"I just mentioned the matter of the child, and the concubine remembered that this matter was also related to the future of our Feng family, so I wanted to ask."

When Feng Yong heard "the future of the Feng family", he immediately laughed, "It seems that Xijun is going to discuss the Feng family's affairs with me, but he really looks like a housewife." ”

"Say what? The concubine is the mother of the Feng Mansion! ”

Guan Ji clapped his hand dissatisfied.

"Okay, you say."

Feng Yong saw that her expression had become serious and serious, and he hurriedly put away the joke.

"Ah Lang's army relies on Nanxiang soldiers, and political affairs rely on students from Nanxiang Academy, the Feng family started in Fengzhuang and flourished in Nanxiang Workshop, so Feng Jiagen is in Jincheng and originally in Nanxiang, this is true, right?"

Feng Yong was a little confused, and replied casually, "Sort of." ”

"But our Feng family is thin, and Nanxiang is all taken care of by others, and no one is the Feng family."

Guan Ji frowned slightly, "Especially that Li Mu, who is in charge of so many industries, can Ah Lang rest assured?" ”

Feng Yong looked at Guan Ji with a worried look and said with a smile, "What's not worrying?" Li Mu has done a good job in the past few years? ”

"But she is not young anymore, and she is going to marry after all. If you marry someone else, you have to have a husband and children, and when the time comes, who will Ah Lang entrust to Nanxiang? ”

Guan Ji asked.

Li Mu...... Got a sweetheart? Feng Yong was shocked, "Or are you ready to get married?" It shouldn't be, why don't I know? ”

"If she wants to marry, does she need Ah Lang's permission?"

"Why...... Uh, I mean, at least tell me in advance, right? ”

Feng Yong almost slipped out.

"Why?"

Guan Ji's gaze was vaguely sharp.

"By ...... Why? Feng Yong repeated with a little stammering, and said in his heart that the Li family had sent her over, didn't she just let me deal with it?

Lao Tzu worked hard to train her, and she is actually going to get married?

Who?

Which bastard would dare to arch my cabbage?

Look how I kill him!

"Nanxiang has such a big plate, how can she say that she won't do it?" Feng Yong was so anxious that he sweated a little, "I haven't seen her mention this before!" ”

"Nanxiang's movements, how can they escape Ah Lang's eyes? Ah Lang, this is a mess if you care! ”

Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong with a smile.

"I'm worried that no one in Nanxiang will help me."

When Feng Yong saw Guan Ji's expression, he immediately understood that Li Mu's marriage was a false alarm, and immediately refuted it confidently.

"In other words, Ah Lang never thought about Li Mu marrying at all?"

Guan Ji suddenly rebelled again.

"I didn't ...... No, I thought about it, I just didn't expect it so soon. ”

Feng Yong hurriedly argued.

"She's not small anymore." Guan Ji emphasized again, "Even if the government has relaxed the age of marriage in the past two years, she has exceeded the age of marriage." ”

"If it weren't for Nanxiang, I was afraid that the government would come to urge marriage and fine money."

"Nanxiang is the foundation of the Feng family and Ah Lang, and the concubine, as the head mother of the Feng Mansion, has a long-term plan for the Feng family, so she has to carefully consider Li Mu's affairs."

Guan Ji stared at Feng Yong with burning eyes.

"That'...... What do you think? ”

In front of Guan Ji, who exercised the power of the Feng family's housewife, Feng Junhou had to give in.

Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, his tense face finally couldn't help but smile slightly, and held Feng Yong's hand, "It seems that Ah Lang really trusts this Li Mudang." ”

"Could it be that Ah Lang is so confident, even if Li Mu is married, he will still work for Ah Lang?"

Although he was reluctant to mention that Li Mu was going to marry after all, Feng Yong knew that this matter would eventually have to be faced, and he also expressed his opinion at the moment.

"What's this? In my opinion, Li Muqi is the person, if she chooses the same among the Nanxiang steward and the marry, she will definitely choose the Nanxiang steward rather than marry. ”

Li Mu, this woman, is not simple, it is indeed not simple, that refers to her management talent and means.

But if it's simple, it's simple.

That is, her request is simple.

This woman is arrogant, so strong, and she makes no secret of her obsession with power.

But he is very measured, never contaminated with things that should not be contaminated, and has strong self-control.

In this era, only she can give her the world to give full play to her talents, and it is impossible for her to betray herself until no one can give her a bigger world.

But is this possibility?

Feng Yong felt that it could not exist.

It is a trend for families who pay attention to Confucian scriptures to constantly restrain women.

According to the rules, the wife of the Han Dynasty can inherit the title of husband.

However, in the era of Cao Pi, who was in charge of the family, Cao Pi said that the emperor wanted to posthumously crown the dead parents of the queen mother, and Chen Qun, the representative of the family, took the lead in opposing it, on the grounds that it was a violation of etiquette to allow women to have titles in the Qin and Han dynasties.

In the end, Cao Wei set the rule that "the ministers are not allowed to play the queen mother, and the descendants of the family are not allowed to be auxiliary politicians, and they are not allowed to accept the lord of Maoshi".

As a result, the system of female succession that had been inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties was terminated in the Cao Wei era.

Li Mu, who was born in a family, understands this situation very well, so she naturally knows that no one in the world can give her such freedom except for herself.

But Guan Ji was a native of the Han family, and she couldn't understand the thinking that Feng Yong brought from later generations.

More importantly, as the mother of the Feng family, it is definitely impossible for her to put the foundation of the Feng family on the setting of the people's hearts.

"Since Ah Lang is so sure, the concubine can't say anything more. But the concubine has to find an opportunity to talk to that Li Mu, what does Ah Lang think? ”

Feng Yong saw Guan Ji's persistence, and finally felt for the first time the obsession of people in this era with the continuation and expansion of the family.

I used to think that Guan Ji had a weak temperament, and since she got married, she has been running around with her, and she is more and more chaotic, and she is Longyou Fuqiang.

She had never mentioned to herself how the Feng family should be, but she didn't expect it to be so solemn.

Feng Yong's heart was slightly shocked, and he nodded immediately, "Xijun is the mother of the Feng family, and the affairs in this mansion are governed by Xijun." ”

When Guan Ji heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he clenched Feng Yong's hand, "Uncle Jun died in Yiling, so he exchanged his life for a little foundation of the Feng family. ”

"Ah Lang is based on this foundation, so he was able to fight for the current Feng family with his own hands, and as a concubine of the Feng family, how dare she be careless?"

Feng Yong respects the concept of the ancients, especially this ancient man is his own fine king, "Okay, I can be accompanied by the fine gentleman in this life, it is really a blessing to invite the heavens." ”

It's just that this person is serious for only three breaths.

I saw him swallow his saliva, "Xijun, you see, it's late at night, the foundation of this Feng family still lies in the heirs, we have to work hard to think about it!" ”

Guan Ji's face turned red again, "The concubine still has one more thing, Siniang will leave the day after tomorrow, are we going to have a banquet?" ”

I only heard Feng Junhou say impatiently, "You don't have to worry about such a trivial matter, just hand it over to so-and-so!" Come on, come on, let's continue to discuss family matters! ”
