Detailing the stakes and the stakes, Bai Liyan continued

"So far in this battle, our army has lost 7,560 casualties, wounded 34,672 people, annihilated and captured the main force of the defense of the country and about 1.3 million soldiers and civilians of its counties, and captured countless grains, grass, gold and silver. However, the minister took matters into his own hands and used half of it for relief to the victims, and returned 30% to the guards to avoid chaos, and the rest was transported to the seven counties as food and grass for our army. ”

"What Aiqing said Zhao Qing wrote in the report is very clear, and everyone already knows it, and it is not too late to report these things after the war subsides. The widow wants to know what Aiqing plans to do next? ”

King Xian's expression was solemn, and Bai Liyan couldn't figure out what King Xian meant, so he said after thinking for a while

"King Qiqi, there are two important things at the moment, one is to continue to gather soldiers and horses, cut out the soldiers of the previous army to return to their hometowns to farm, and strive to replant a season of late rice before the year, and some areas can also rush to plant a season of winter wheat at the end of winter, so as to reduce the pressure on the treasury to pay taxes next year. The second is to speed up negotiations with the eldest grandson and urge him to compromise. However, the second thing is that it is not appropriate for the minister to come forward again, so he also asks the king to arrange someone else.

After these two things, if the eldest grandson refuses to compromise, China should adjust the internal policy of the new seven counties, reduce or exempt local taxes and forced labor, and increase financial subsidies to promote local agricultural and mulberry production.

At the same time as the above three things, the minister suggested that the construction of the railway should be started, and a large number of new goods in Yongxing City would need to be built with more workshops, so that a large number of the labor of the people could be absorbed, and at the same time, the minting of new coins in the national treasury would be increased, so as to facilitate the economic expansion of the Xian Kingdom. ”

"The new commodities and money and food are the most reassuring to Yongxinghou, and Aiqing can let it go." King Xian readily agreed, and then said, "How is Can'er doing on the front line, the widow heard that Aiqing always let him stay in the rear, which is not good." ”

"The king misunderstood, the medical battalion is specialized in saving the dead and helping the wounded, and it is more appropriate to place it in the rear, and the medical treatment of the army can be dealt with by ordinary langzhong, if it goes deep with the vanguard, it is not only a burden to the army, but also may disrupt the plan due to the enemy's attack, so the medical battalion should not go west with the headquarters of the minister. Moreover, after all, the prince of Xuan is the son of the king, if there are three long and two short, how can the minister explain to the king. ”

"Yes, if the good sons of the widow are greedy for life and afraid of death, who can the widow's future country be handed over......" King Xian sighed for a long time, and then said, "If there was no princess to marry under the widow's knees back then, Aiqing should be the widow's son-in-law today." ”

"The king's words are serious, the minister is trusted by the king to show his ambitions, and he can marry the lord of Qiao County, the minister is extremely satisfied, and he does not dare to expect the king to favor him."

Baili Yan was panicked, and King Xian laughed

"Hehaha...... After all these years, you are still the same. Let's do it, today's widow is a matchmaker, how about you and I being in-laws. ”

As soon as this word came out, Bai Li Yan buzzed in his head, he knew that King Xian wanted to marry Bai Li Xuan to Jiang Can. Seeing that Bailiyan was stunned, King Xian hurriedly said again

"What, Aiqing refuses?"

Bai Liyan said carefully

"The king wants to marry the minister's Xuan'er to the young man."

"Yes, Can'er has long been in love with Miss Xuan'er, didn't Miss Xuan'er also fall in love with the widow Can'er at first sight, isn't this marriage a match made in heaven."

"......"

Bailiyan wanted to speak and stopped, and King Xian asked

"What are Aiqing's concerns?"

"The minister is worried that the prince and the marquis of Lu may have criticism."

"Does the widow still need the consent of the widow's eldest son to marry the youngest son?"

King Xian asked rhetorically, but only omitted Lu Hou, which means that King Xian should have won the consent of Lu Hou, and should have arranged more than one marriage for Jiang Can.

repeatedly grasped the stakes, Bai Liyan finally did not refuse King Xian, and the deeper reason is that King Xian still wants to change the prince, and he still changes the monarch. And Bai Liyan also felt the threat of uncertainty from the prince, and in the future, he needed a legitimate chip in his hand to exchange for the legitimacy of the prince Jiang Yu.

"The king, the minister has heard that the king wants to give the three knighthoods of the true son of Honggongzi and the son of Can, but I don't know if there is such a thing."

"Oh, the widow wanted to discuss with Aiqing after understanding the war, but since Aiqing asked, the widow said it directly. The widow thought about it, and he couldn't treat the widow's heir badly after a hundred years, so he wanted to give the title and the third son, so he also wanted to ask Aiqing's opinion. ”

"The king has ever thought that no matter how big the land of Xianguo is in the future, if the monarchs of all dynasties have three wives and four concubines, they have four or five or even more than ten sons, and each of them is given a fief, a generation of monarchs may not see much, if it is hundreds of thousands of years, as few as hundreds of monarchs, as many as hundreds of monarchs, and every monarch is like this, that is tens of thousands of people, a fief per person, not counting the fiefs required by their heirs, as well as the annual expenditure of the imperial court's rewards and offerings, and in the end, the money and food of the treasury may be difficult to make ends meet.

But the king must be knighted, and the ministers will not object, but they must not reward the land. ”

"If the land is not rewarded, how can the descendants of the widow prosper."

King Xian asked rhetorically, and Bailiyan hurriedly said

"There are two ways to solve the king's worries, and you can solve your worries once and for all."

"Oh, Aiqing, tell me quickly, what a good policy."

"The minister thought that the king could deposit gold and silver in lieu of land and bounty, and that the gold and silver deposits could not be withdrawn for life, but the interest accrued each year could be used for the expenses of the eldest prince's heirs and for the purchase of real estate, or they could be used as other deposits for his own use.

Secondly, the kings of the past dynasties should encourage their children to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and run their own business after being knighted, and the court can amend the law, and give certain tax preferences under the premise of fairness to show their status, so that as long as they abide by the law, they can have no worries about food and clothing for life.

The third is to encourage the royal heirs to be self-reliant and self-reliant, but if the arrogant behavior is bad, it can be punished economically, and the talented royal heirs can be recommended and promoted, which can promote the status of the royal family in the hearts of the people. ”

"This law is good, this law is feasible, Aiqing may wish to draft a draft for the widow first, so that all Aiqing can discuss it together."

"Your Ministers obey."

The regime is gradually on the right track, and the issue of royal family support is a threshold that cannot be bypassed after all. How to settle the descendants of the royal family is not only related to the current political stability, but also related to the arrangements for the nobles of various countries after the unification of the Central Plains in the future, and the impact on future generations thousands of years later.

At the same time that Baili Yan followed King Xian, Xihuan also paid close attention to the changes in the situation, due to the slow transmission of information, Baili Yan's every move was not within the scope of his monitoring, and the situation finally developed to this point, which Xihuan did not expect, but just as Ji Jinsheng expected, Bai Liyan's big killer weapon was sacrificed after all.

"It's so dangerous, if it weren't for General Ji to persuade the palace in time that day, wouldn't he have fallen into the evil deeds of Liang Guo at this moment."

Xihuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Ji Jinsheng was worried

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm afraid this matter will never be over, according to the judgment of my subordinates, the Son of Heaven will definitely kill Baili Yan, and I am afraid that the situation will be more dangerous in the future. If it is not handled properly, the nations may join forces to attack. ”

"No, the Xian army now has a strong soldier in hand, and it is invincible in the world with sharp weapons, who dares to attack."

Xihuan disagreed, and Ji Jinsheng was cautious

"If it weren't for the subordinates' hearts towards Xianguo, the prince would ascend the throne in the future, if he killed Bailiyan, Xianguo would die in the hands of the prince."

"Is it so serious?" Xihuan questioned, and then said, "It's just a hundred miles of Yan who died, what a good way." Could it be that the Xianguo country can still lose Baili Yan, and the country will not be destroyed. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Xianguo will not die without Baili Yan, but what Your Highness doesn't know is that the Xian State can be a country of tigers and wolves without Baili Yan, and if there is no Baili Yan, it is just a fat sheep to be slaughtered. The nations are not afraid of the Xianguo, but they are afraid of the Baili Yan, so the Baili Yan is here, the Xian State can be protected, the Baili Yan is dead, even if the Xian State holds a divine weapon, it will inevitably die without a place to be buried. ”

"Why is that?"

"Xianguo can have today, Baili Yan is indispensable, almost more than half of the country's personnel have its handling, more than 10 million people in Xianguo are from abroad, half of the Xian army is not a foreigner. In short, Xianguo is a plate of loose sand, and it is an indestructible stubborn stone under the creation of Bailiyan.

If Baili Yan dies and is killed by King Xian, this stubborn stone will either rebel, or turn into a plate of scattered sand, and will be bribed and lured by all parties and even killed each other. And Liang Guo is good at the way of deception, and he must know the truth that the dragons have no leader to divide and rule.

Therefore, if Her Royal Highness the princess wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, Bai Liyan can only be placed under house arrest but not killed, and her henchmen can only be co-opted or slowly removed, and must not be forced. ”

"This palace hates to kill him and then quickly, why is he leaving his life to survive, if he rebels against the prince again and again in the future, will it be impossible for this palace to raise tigers."

"Your Highness rest assured, Bailiyan has been imprisoned for ten or fifteen years after house arrest, and when the subordinates he supported are bought or eliminated by His Highness, and after the court spits out the old and accepts the new to eliminate its momentum, the threat of Bailiyan can be eliminated."

"What if the nations come in ten or fifteen years?"

"As long as Bailiyan does not die, with my king as his support, the nations will not dare to attack. My subordinates are afraid that my crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will fall into the tricks of the Liang State when he is young and vigorous. Therefore, his subordinates suggested that Yin Yangjun should speed up his activities in the country and form a princeling's henchmen for my use. ”

Xihuan frowned and paced back and forth, still unwilling in her heart, she said

"Bailiyan doesn't die, and the palace can't sleep and eat, so there is no other way?"

"Back to Your Highness, there is no other way at the moment."

Xihuan is very entangled, although she is the sister of King Ji Jun of Jin, but after the death of King Ji Wei of Jin, Brother Ji Jun has never treated him as a sister, so Xi Huan can only rely on herself, and she only has herself and her two sons. Compared with the role of the princess of the Jin Kingdom, Xihuan at this time is more accepting of the position of the future prince's mother, she also has ambitions, she wants to leave the best inheritance for her son.

So now Xihuan is sandwiched between the interests of the Jin Kingdom and the interests of her son, which has repeatedly conflicted and entangled, but she can only choose her son, and no mother will abandon her son.
