Zhu Wen and Meng Kai convened their subordinates to discuss for two days, and finally compromised.

Zhu Li made such a move, it was clearly a yang scheme, and now the news that there was a miracle doctor in Yiting City who could cure the plague in the grass army has been spreading.

At any time, the desire for life is unstoppable, even if Zhu Wen and Meng Kai, as commanders of the grass army, still can't rent the desire of soldiers to survive.

Even during the two days they were deliberating, there were relatives and friends of the patients who were clamoring, wailing, and even pleading outside the tent, so that the rest of the grass army was concerned.

They can't afford to lose their morale, that's one thing; What's more important is that the patients are placed in the camp, just like the source of the disease, the longer the time, the more people will be infected, and if there is no solution, the grass army camp will sooner or later become a dead land.

Since the decision was made, Zhu Wen and Meng Kai did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to send the patient to the gate of Yiting North City. There are naturally a lot of plague infections in the grass army, and the grass army guards who have been sent to the Yiting Pavilion add up to nearly 8,000 people, Zhu Li quickly cured their epidemic with the help of the miracle of the Shan Hai Jing, but these people also fell into Zhu Li's hands, although most of them are disabled people, but there are still more than 2,000 people, who are elite people with sound limbs.

More than 2,000 people were handed over to Shi Yan and Meng Juehai as soon as Zhu Li shook his hand, and asked them to bring these people into the army as soon as possible and take them for their own use.

It's so tossing, and it's December.

Due to the fact that in the grass army, there are guards infected with the plague one after another, and the grass army has never launched a siege battle again, and this year's war seems to have no possibility to continue.

The winter in Fuping, although not as cold as in the north, is still not suitable for fighting.

Since the beginning of the truce, there has been a strange landscape in Fuping City, that is, the mansion of the Wang family, which is slightly inferior to the description of the city, and it is even rumored that the head of the Wang family has changed three thresholds in less than a month, because the previous thresholds have been trampled by the guests, of course, most of these guests are courting relatives and talking matchmakers.

But since the three major warlords fought at the door of the Wang family, no matter who entered the Wang family, they had never seen Wang Yueyao, an elf-like woman, again.

On the contrary, there is one more scholar in Zhu Li's military camp who describes delicate, follows Zhu Li's ass all day long, and wants to talk to Zhu Li about his life ideals when he has nothing to do, anyway, as long as Zhu Li's affairs, he always has to ask thoroughly.

The matter also started from the fact that Zhu Li met Zhu Wen and others that day and returned from outside the city.

As soon as Zhu Li returned to the big tent that day, a tooth soldier came to report: "Governor, there is a scholar outside the camp who asks to see him, and he says that he is the old man of the governor?" ”

"The deceased?" Zhu Li frowned, where did he have any scholar-like old people, the familiar scholars Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, and Wang Jing were all in Shuozhou, and it was impossible for them to come all the way here, so who is this, forget it, you will know if you see it.

"Bring him in." Zhu Li instructed indifferently.

"No"

After a while, the tooth soldier brought in a person, Zhu Li looked at it, his expression was instantly confused, and he saw that the person who came was wearing a moon-white tight silk robe, wearing a crane crown, his eyes were like autumn water, and the person was like a clear lotus, not who Wang Yueyao was.

"Lady of the Wang family, why are you here?" Zhu Li wondered.

"Cough, cough" Wang Yueyao was seen through by Zhu Li at a glance, her expression was calm, she coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Yao'er came here, naturally seeking self-protection, is it strange for the governor?" ”

When Zhu Li heard this, he looked suspicious, and said indifferently: "Between the smiles and melancholy, you can play with the generals of the three armies, and the lady has to seek self-protection, I'm afraid it's a joke." ”

When Wang Yueyao heard this, she was not discouraged, and said calmly: "If they come to snatch Yao'er openly, Yao'er is naturally fearless, but these festivals, their patience is limited, if they start secretly, with the power of the Wang family, Yao'er is a weak girl, how can they survive the disaster?" ”

This seems to be very reasonable, after all, the Wang family started as a businessman, and no matter how many dead soldiers they raise, they can't exceed the number of an army, thousands of people have already reached the sky, and if Li Xiaochang, Wang Chongrong, and Tuoba Sigong are lustful and secretly attack, it is indeed difficult to prevent.

"Lady wants me to help you?" Zhu Li thought for a while, and asked directly.

"Exactly, but Yao'er also knows that in Yiting City, the Governor has the least soldiers and horses, and his strength is slightly weaker, Yao'er came here rashly, so naturally she will not let the Governor contend to be them head-on, so Yao'er tied her hair and dressed simply, pretended to be a man, and came to take refuge in the Governor." Wang Yueyao seemed to be afraid that Zhu Li would not accept her because she was in a weak position, so she explained.

"Take refuge? Doesn't the lady know that this is a military camp, and there seems to be no precedent for recruiting women in the army, right? Zhu Li frowned, he really didn't want to mix in this troubled water, he was so beautiful, and it was also the source of trouble, although he didn't necessarily blame them, after all, the beauty was moving, not to mention that Wang Yueyao was so beautiful.

Zhu Li's frowning small movements, falling in Wang Yueyao's eyes, strengthened her determination to join Zhu Li, she has never found anyone who can resist her beauty since she can remember, but the person in front of her is an exception.

Sometimes a woman's heart is so wonderful, if countless people worship under her pomegranate skirt, she will not be surprised, spurned, and suddenly found a person who is not confused by her beauty, but more and more aroused their competitiveness and conquering hearts, Wang Yueyao's current situation is like this.

However, if she wants to persuade Zhu Li to accept herself, she must offer a price that makes Zhu Li excited, among the four major warlords stationed in Yiting, Zhu Li is the weakest, she must first ensure that her arrival cannot bring more trouble to the other party, and secondly, she must also be useful to the Shuozhou army, otherwise there is no hope at all.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that she admires Zhu Li very much, although it has not yet reached the point of falling in love at first sight like Yu Chijin, but it still can't stop her curiosity to find out.

Wang Yueyao thought for a while, and then said: "The governor of the north town of Shuozhou, must have also experienced the poverty of Shuozhou, the Wang family started as a businessman, and the father only had a daughter Yao'er, if the governor accepted Yao'er's refuge, it would be equivalent to accepting the allegiance of the Wang family." ”

"If Shuozhou has the strong support of the Wang family, it will be more than ten years, or four or five years at the least, and it will definitely be able to prosper, and Yao'er is very confident in this."

When Zhu Li heard this, his expression tightened, and he immediately said: "At least four or five years can make Shuozhou prosperous?" ”

"Exactly." Wang Yueyao's jade neck was high, very confident.

Zhu Li squinted his eyes, stared at this extraordinary strange woman fixedly, and said suspiciously: "The three scribes under my command are not Zhu Mou's boasting, each of them has the talent to rejuvenate the country and secure the country, but even they only dare to guarantee that it will take more than ten years to make Shuozhou prosperous, I don't know where the lady's self-confidence comes from." ”

The people Zhu Li said are Guo Qizuo, Wang Jing, and Guo Chongtao, Guo Qizuo is Guo Jia's rebirth, although Guo Jia's talent is mostly in the military, but his insight and vision are certainly not bad.

Not to mention Wang Jing and Guo Chongtao, in Zhu Li's cognition, these two people are once in power, and with their ability, they have not spoken wildly, and Shuozhou can prosper in three or five years, why is Wang Yueyao so confident?

In the face of Zhu Li's questioning, Wang Yueyao was not in a hurry, and said indifferently: "In business, business, and politics, if only from the perspective of governance and development, it will indeed take more than ten years or more than 20 years for Shuozhou to prosper. ”

"But our Wang family is a businessman, and what we do is business, such as increasing the population, from the perspective of governance, it is undoubtedly to encourage childbirth, implement effective measures, attract displaced people, and so on; From the point of view of businessmen, the population can also be bought and sold, and the purchased population is ready-made, many of them are people who can't survive in one place, as long as we send these people to Shuozhou, coupled with Shuozhou's implementation of the policy of benefiting the people, it is difficult for them not to stay. ”

When Zhu Li heard this, his eyes lit up, but then he thought of something, and asked: "Isn't Tang Law forbidden to buy and sell people, and you dare to do this?" ”

Zhu Li's words made Wang Yueyao stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Governor, what Tang Law prohibits is the sale of good mouths, and the sale of slaves and maids has never been restricted, and even the Tang Law clearly indicates the tax clause for the sale of slaves and maids. ”

Wang Yueyao said this, but Zhu Li was stunned, he couldn't sell people, but the regulations of later generations, I didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to openly indulge in human trafficking, listening to Wang Yueyao's meaning, Tang Lu actually advocated trafficking foreigners into the Central Plains, which really opened his eyes.

The world is in turmoil, many people can't survive, selling children and girls is a common thing, at this time, selling slaves and maids is equivalent to saving these people from the fire, why not.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhu Li pretended to frown and pondered for a while, and sighed: "But after all, buying and selling human beings requires money, and my Shuozhou is so poor now, how can I have the spare energy to buy human beings." ”

"Hehe, there is no need to worry about this, if the governor accepts Yao'er's refuge, my Wang family will naturally be under the command of the governor, if the governor will give some convenience to my Wang family, Yao'er can promise here, the money for human trafficking does not need the governor to take a penny." Wang Yueyao showed her two rows of white teeth like a little fox, and said excitedly.

"Your royal family will bear this cost?" Zhu Li was a little puzzled, you must know that Shuozhou is only a pitiful 30,000 subjects, and the gap in people is very large, how many people have to be trafficked to replenish it, with the power of the Wang family, they can afford it, he doesn't believe it.

As if seeing Zhu Li's suspicions, Wang Yueyao continued: "Don't worry, the Wang family is also a businessman, and will never buy and sell at a loss, the furs and jewelry outside the customs are all precious things, as long as my Wang family manages carefully, not only will not lose money, but will make a lot of money." ”

When Zhu Li heard this, she was a little helpless, and sighed: "Fur and jewelry are all Hu people's things, and I can't be the master." ”

"Hmph" Wang Yueyao glanced at him, and snorted: "We can first buy a batch of silk, tea and other luxury goods from the mainland, and sell them to the Hu people in the north, and then obtain furs, jewelry and other precious things from them, and transfer them back to the mainland. ”

"As long as the governor orders the safety of our caravan along the way, and our royal family will operate the rest, we will definitely not reach out to the governor to ask for a penny." Wang Yueyao said carefully and charmingly.
