Chapter 638: Xiao Kai returns to the team
Zhang Xiaowu's father loves to be full of love, and in addition to the military, he teases his children every day, but he is also comfortable. The stagnation of surnames in the north, but the presence of large armies made Youzhou a rare prosperity, and then paper money began to appear one after another, which made the local people a little frightened, and they feared that the army also used paper money.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu did not order the strict use of paper money, and only allowed penny banknotes to circulate in the market, but the people did not recognize penny banknotes. According to the requirements of the government, one tael of silver can be exchanged for one hundred wen, and in July of the fourth year of Dade, according to the new estimate, the imperial court promulgated one tael of silver for one hundred and fifty wen, but in private, five hundred wen banknotes can be exchanged for one tael of silver.
Because the people of Youzhou and other four northern states have recovered well, the economy has also recovered, and the people need a lot of money, resulting in the exchange of 300 paper notes for one or two silver. In order to make the people stable and prosperous, and hide the wealth from the people, Zhang Xiaowu secretly ordered the 28 prefectures in Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Daizhou to cancel all entry taxes, vehicle and vessel taxes, animal husbandry taxes, fishing and hunting taxes, and firewood taxes, and only collect land grain taxes and transaction taxes.
Subsequently, the imperial court's tax revenues in the four northern states were greatly reduced, and the reason reported by the twenty-eight prefectures in the four prefectures was that the southward movement of Inuyi had led to heavy casualties in various parts of the north, and they pleaded for a reduction or exemption of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Emperor Dade agreed, but then a question came, how to support the huge military expenditure of the Blue Dragon Army. Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Xiaowu asked the sergeants to cultivate the fields, hoping to draw half of the army to cultivate the land by themselves, and harvest the grain by themselves, so as to reduce the demand for the treasury and logistics.
Emperor Dade gladly allowed it and named it Juntian.
Subsequently, Zhang Xiaowu wantonly cultivated military fields in the four northern states, which coincided with the fact that many wild fields were uncultivated, so the military fields were settled. But the emergence of military fields is not another kind of private land of the scholars? Now, the private fields of the scholars do not need to pay grain, and even the military fields do not need to pay grain. But at this time, the Great Emperor was deeply trapped in the illusion of the prosperity of paper money, thinking that after his own governance, the people were rich and contented, and even their temperament was much better, and he had restored the courteous but humble Emperor of the Great Virtue four years ago.
In October of the fourth year of Dade, it began to snow in the north, and Wanglong Mansion ushered in a happy event, to be precise, Zhang Xiaowu ushered in a happy event.
Zhang Xiaowu Gu had to say that he would marry Gu Ruoxi after expelling the dog, but now Gu Ruoxi has become An An's mother, in order to give Gu Ruoxi a name, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't care about what he said, and chose to hold a wedding in Wanglong Mansion after the first snow. Although there are no three books and six hires? But the emperor as a matchmaker? 100,000 troops testified, Zhang Xiaowu carried a sedan chair and 10,000 people to send Gu Ruoxi into the house? It is for the fourth lady of the Hou Mansion of Hejian.
Because the second and third ladies are still under house arrest in Longdu Mansion? Although Zhang Xiaowu wrote several recitals to the emperor, he was not allowed? So the fourth lady became the only woman who was with him. The two husband and wife, Qin Se and Ming, study and study the role of autopsy organs on weekdays? Re-study study of suturing wounds and cleaning purulent wounds? Very loving and harmonious.
Gu Ruoxi likes to study medicine very much, and knows more about the treatment of wounds and the structure of the human body than Zhang Xiaowu, and Wanglong Mansion is on the front line? The last thing to lack is the corpses and the wounded? This led to Gu Ruoxi's medical skills, or at least surgical skills, improving by leaps and bounds. Sure enough, practice is the criterion for testing truth, and no amount of theory is as good as practice to make people progress.
Outsiders are terrified of the fourth lady's interest and think that this woman is crazy? Why do you like to study corpses every day, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu supports and understands Gu Ruoxi? Always behind the back. If she lacks corpses, kill a few more dogs......
"This is the heart? Here's the stomach, here's the spleen? Is this the small intestine? Large intestine? The middle part of the small and large intestine is the duodenum...... Well, that's good, Ah Xiang, you drew very well. Gu Ruoxi was very satisfied with the test results of ten students, this is a student who knows a lot about the structure of the human body, and tomorrow will take their debridement exam, she asked them to review it carefully.
"Master, master, look, there are a lot of people outside." A girl ran over and said.
Gu Ruoxi took the students to the door, and saw hundreds of soldiers rushing towards the camp with a group of savages, she beckoned everyone to hurry back and continue the class, but asked people to inquire. Soon, the inquirer returned, saying that Xiao Kai, the one-eyed general, had been fighting against the Beiyi people in the Kanto region with Xiao Kai, the one-eyed general, and that they had killed the crown prince of the Beiyi Khan, Park Hyunyeol, a few days earlier.
Gu Ruoxi naturally knew Xiao Kai and knew that Zhang Xiaowu was always talking about Xiao Kai, but he didn't expect Xiao Kai to be alive, and he was happy for him.
Zhang Xiaowu gathered everyone to drink and celebrate together, and asked Xiao Kai's story in detail, Xiao Kai said: "The destruction of the city is really because I am careless, I never expected that the Rakshasa people did not talk about any strategy at all, they broke the balance of Saibei, not to mention, but also slaughtered the people of Saibei." General Seki also died in the city in order to protect his family. ”
Everyone was sad for a while, Guancheng had been killed in battle for more than a year, and everyone only learned about it now.
Zhang Xiaowu sighed, thinking of Guan Cheng, a lewd and lustful subordinate, and thinking of his bloody death in a bloody battle with the Rakshasa for his wife and godsons, and his heart was full of resentment.
Xiao Kai said: "As soon as Li Yuan, Zhang Tongming and the others fled to the Two Wolves Pass, we found that they had already conquered the Two Wolves Pass, so we fled eastward, along the edge of the East Yehe Mountain and the Dead Sea Desert until the Black Forest. We started as bandits in the Black Forest, and later found that the Tatars were defeated by the Beiyi people, and a large number of Tatars fled into the primeval forest, so we collected and rescued the Tatars while inquiring about the news. In the summer, we rescued a Han prisoner captured by the Beiyi people, and learned from the captive that the adults were in Youzhou to prevent the dog from entering the customs. It's a pity that we only have a few hundred people, and we can't pass through the pass, let alone fight with the adults in the north and south, so we have to be green forest bandits, specializing in intercepting and killing the grain route of the Beiyi people. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You have worked hard in Kanto, come back this time and rest for a few days." By the way, what's going on with Prince Beiyi? ”
Xiao Kai smiled slightly and said, "Prince Beiyi was not killed by me, but by this warrior beside me. He pulled out a short, stout guy from the crowd and introduced: "This person's name is Ashina Saku, and he is a warrior who disobeys the Beiyi people in the Ya tribe, and he was rescued by us and joined us. ”
"Ashina Saku? Am I that idiot? Zhang Xiaowu muttered in his heart, crying and laughing: "What is this name called in the dialect?" ”
"It's called beautiful flowers." Xiao Kai said with a smile.
