Chapter 639: Chance

Wen Yue didn't think that her husband's arrangement of the concubine and the children of the concubine room in this way was to encroach on the authority of herself, the mistress, in the family.

In fact, she already felt a headache in the face of her three biological children, although there were always maids with her, but these foreign girls (among the palace maids and eunuchs of the empire, only the group that intercepted and pro-ship the fleet was Han Chinese, and the others were foreign) looked okay, and they were all clumsy when they worked, don't expect them to take care of the children like their mothers.

Moreover, Dai Huan and Dai Huan are now at an age where people hate dogs, and if one is not taken care of well, it is easy to cause big problems, and ...... there are so many jobs, if she is asked to take care of Zhao Shan, Zhao Lin, Gu Hengbo and their children together, Wen Yue feels that she will definitely go crazy.

That's it, that's actually good.

Anyway, she doesn't have any feelings for the children her husband has with other women.

Thinking of these messy things, her ears were filled with the two children chattering and looking forward to her grandfather's new friends, and Wen Yue no longer had the heart to continue her work.

The crown princess of the Huaxia Empire began to clean up all kinds of papers on her desk, Xu Daizhuo was by her side to help her, and the two little guys saw this, and they also came over noisily to help.

As a result, the more helpful it became.

By the time everything was cleaned up, the convoy had arrived in front of the main gate of Wenfu.

Wen Yue got out of the car and looked at the compound where she had lived for sixteen years, and she was a little emotional for a while.

When Xu Shiyang went to Jiangnan, he lived in the courtyard of this compound, and Wen Yue had seen him a few times by chance at that time, but neither of them left a deep impression on each other.

Later, when she heard that Xu Shiyang burned down the Duting Station and killed all the envoys of the Tartars, Wen Yue praised Xu Shiyang for having the wind of Ban Dingyuan, but at that time she didn't expect that she would leave home thousands of miles away to become his wife.

I didn't expect that I would actually become the crown princess of a powerful empire, the future queen - maybe one day I will become the queen mother?

The encounters of life are really unpredictable.

……

Jiangbei.

On the first day of May 1793, the imperial government officially announced the release of the emperor's grandson, Xu Daixuan, from Beijing (although the empire still did not have a real capital).

The emperor canonized his eldest grandson as the king of Qin, but did not give Xu Daixuan any fief, but allowed him to develop overseas on his own.

According to the instructions of the cabinet, the guards of the Qin Wangfu can have 5,000 soldiers and horses (only public and civilian soldiers with guns), but except for a 500-strong guard, no field army is allowed to be transferred.

The rest of the men and horses could only recruit reservists and militiamen who were willing to go on expeditions and pioneers with His Royal Highness King Qin.

In this regard, Xu Daixuan did not express any dissatisfaction, in fact, he felt that it was best not to send him a single member of the cabinet - starting from scratch and forming his own team with his own hands would make it easier to command him.

As for those guards, to tell the truth, this is actually a tight spell brought by the cabinet to the Qin king - this nominal pro-guard army is rotated every five years, and it is completely subordinate to the empire rather than the Qin Palace, and it is okay now, if there is any threat to the empire by their descendants in the future, these guards can control the Qin Wangfu at any time.

This mantra has to be brought, but this is just an insurance, it is usually used, and the guards will also obey the orders of the King of Qin without discounting - soldiers, and it is their duty to obey orders.

Xu Daixuan will not deliberately consume them - it is too easy for the empire to replenish the Guards, not to mention that if the cabinet is suspicious, next time he may replace all the 5,000 soldiers with the Guards, and completely empty him, the King of Qin.

Therefore, the cabinet gave King Qin a tight spell, and Xu Daixuan also happily put it on his head, everyone knew it, and expressed their intentions, which was enough.

Next, the cabinet will naturally meet the other requirements of King Qin as much as possible.

Of the 4,500 recruiting places, Zuo Helin was responsible for recruiting 300 people, saying that he had booked 100 places for Zhe Keshi, who came to participate in the expedition together, Xu Shizhen, the king of Ganding County, who was released as king with the King of Qin, had 300 places, and other imperial relatives and high-ranking officials and dignitaries could have 1,500 places (many second sons and concubines who were destined to not inherit the family business were willing to participate).

The remaining 2,300 people were all under the responsibility of the King of Qin himself.

In order to recruit troops, His Royal Highness the King of Qin offered very generous conditions:

All young men and men above the rank of commoner who voluntarily followed the pioneers on the expedition were not subject to the poll tax if they belonged to five or fewer slaves, and the poll tax for slaves with more than five persons was also halved at the imperial rate.

This was actually tantamount to opening up the slave market in the newly opened territory, and if the expeditionary force had gained a foothold in the west of the Green Ridge, their 4,500 so-called soldiers would have the opportunity to become slave owners.

This is also Xu Daixuan's positioning of his own feudal country - a **** slave country.

Economically, mining and plantations were the mainstay, and as far as possible, they did not establish their own industries, but exported minerals, agricultural products, livestock products, and slaves, and bought industrial products from the interior, so as to strengthen the ties between the feudal state and the motherland, and reduce the possibility of turning against the mother country in the future.

In this way, it is also easier to gain the trust and help of the home country.

In terms of military system, the main force, except for the Guards Army, is mainly composed of a small squad of 10 people, a squadron of 100 people, and a large team of 1,000 people.

Once established, with the advent of a large number of private slaves, these "Han soldiers" would actually become somewhat independent combat units: a Han soldier would be followed by several or even a dozen slave soldiers (much like the knights of the Western Middle Ages).

At that time, a team of ten people may actually be composed of dozens or hundreds of people, and in the Qin State, it will become common for a Han soldier to own a manor.

This is also the reason why Zuo Helin and the others want to take those places - every Han soldier here is an opportunity to become a slave owner and a manor owner, and they will have a better foundation when they establish their own second-level feudal state in the future.

In fact, the cabinet was so pleased with the Qin king's decision that they were even willing to immediately issue a cheap Fusang slave to every soldier who volunteered to join the expedition - the soldiers were free to choose men and women, but Xu Daixuan hoped that they would choose Fusang men as auxiliaries, and women who wanted to warm their feet could capture local women in the newly conquered land.

In addition to the 500 guards and 4,005 Han soldiers, the cabinet specially recruited 1,000 Waibo Soren for His Royal Highness the King of Qin. At the same time, the king of Qin was allowed to recruit troops at will in the Waibo countries in the Western Regions.

These foreign soldiers enjoyed the treatment of common people, they were at least two generations inferior to the Han army, and there were no preferential taxes on slave population, but they had free personal rights, and they would be given a share of land when the time came.

The Qin king hoped that these Waibo people would become the main body of the yeoman peasant class in the Qin state.
