Chapter 89: The Question of Heirs
Golden autumn September is the most important and busiest month in ancient China, because September has reached the autumn harvest season. Rulers, no matter how brutal or stupid they were, would not have chosen to wage large-scale wars and conscription at this time. As important as spring ploughing, especially in barren areas, if there is an accident in the autumn harvest, many people will starve to death.
Obviously, Saigo is one of the poorer places mentioned above, and the autumn harvest is very important to Saigo. Now the officials at all levels in the entire Saigo are in a busy state. Even the main military force of Saigo, except for retaining a part of the system to prevent emergencies, the rest of the people were all disbanded and went home to grab food.
While the rest of the people were busy with the autumn harvest, Liu Ye, as the master of Xixiang, was very relaxed. As a ruler, you don't have to do everything yourself. Zhuge Banxian is one of the negative teaching materials. (Zhuge Liang should be regarded as the actual ruler of Shu Han at that time!) Adou doesn't seem to have much real power. He died of overwork in his early fifties. Liu Ye didn't want to be the next Zhuge Wuhou. As a ruler, you really only need to deal with military affairs, regulate the interests of all parties, and maintain the balance of power. Small things can be delegated to one's own subordinates. Otherwise, why spend so much rice grain every year to feed them!
So, throughout September. In addition to appearing once at the autumn harvest ceremony, Liu Ye also pretended to cut half an acre of wheat to show his closeness to the people. The rest has nothing to do with Liu Ye. On the contrary, Liu Ye's father-in-law, Yang Yang, and his subordinates were tired and half dead. On the stall Liu Ye, an irresponsible son-in-law and a lord, the old man Yang Yang really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, but the old man enjoyed it.
The weather is still hot in September, and the autumn tiger is not just a matter of incident. Liu Ye, who had nothing to do, ordered someone to set up a reclining chair in the gazebo. Liu Ye lay on it to take a nap, drank the iced sour plum soup made from the ice that had just been taken out of the ice cellar, and lived a happy life.
Liu Ye, who had already slept enough, was a little bored and planned to call the housekeeper out to ask about something. So Liu Ye silently said in his heart: "Come out!" Chamberlain. ”
"It is a pleasure to serve you, my master!" The familiar polite voice sounded again, even though he had heard it many times, it still made Liu Ye feel like a spring breeze.
"Butler, let's analyze it!" What is the success rate of the 'Fire' program? Liu Ye, who had just woken up, was a little weak.
"According to the comparison of the strength of the enemy and our troops in the available intelligence, the allocation of troops. In addition, we have the elite soldiers of the white-robed guards. and our surprise attack to occupy the initiative on the battlefield. After careful calculation, the success rate of the 'fire' plan should be around 80%. Even if it fails, our army should be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy. The butler analyzed it for a while and then spoke eloquently.
"Oooh!" Liu Ye seemed to have known this result, and replied a little perfunctorily.
"Didn't the owner already analyze it with someone a few days ago? Why do you have to recalculate it again? The butler asked a little doubt.
"It's nothing, it's just a little uneasy." The fire plan is an important step in whether our Xixiang can rise or not, and it must not fail!" Liu Ye said firmly.
"Butler understood!" After the butler replied very politely, he continued to ask gently, "Master, are you worried about the black hair bones?" ”
"It seems that I can't hide it from you!" Liu Ye said helplessly.
"The host has won the prize! Ever since Wang Jun brought the news that Jiang Jun's uprising was suppressed by Wu Fa Gu, the lord has been frowning! So there's a guess!" The housekeeper said gently.
"You said that after the success of our 'fire' plan, what is the probability that the black hair bone will lead the troops to come?" Liu Ye asked. Facing the powerful black hair bones, Liu Ye was a little weak-hearted. What's more, behind the black hair bone is still standing Shi Zhao, who has not yet broken apart and is strong.
The housekeeper's tone was still gentle, and he comforted Liu Ye and said, "It shouldn't be big, after all, we are very poor here, and we don't have any oil and water." And there is not much threat to the black hair bones. At most, the black hair bones will send a few Hu tribes to attack us. ”
"Our location here is relatively remote, unlike Jiang Jun and them, Linyi is too close to Langya County to govern Kaiyang. Jiang Jun and the others have been able to pose a threat to the old nest with enough black hair bones. The black hair bone will never tolerate Jiang Jun and them. It is inevitable that they will go all out to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress Jiang Jun. ”
"That's right! We're all poor here. Never mind! What do you want to do so far now, let's implement the 'fire' plan first. It's a big deal to wait for the black hair bone to come over with the troops, and then I will return to Xixiang. I don't believe that the black hair bone can break through our stone castle natural danger!" Liu Ye seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and said very happily.
"The master sees it!" After patting Liu Ye a little, the housekeeper continued: "But there is an urgent matter that needs to be completed by the master as soon as possible. ”
"You want to talk about the heir!" Liu Ye said helplessly. The unscrupulous butler had urged him many times and provided him with a number of posture charts. He said that this would make the lady conceive as soon as possible. Although Liu Ye also enjoyed it.
"Yes, master." The butler replied.
"I know, you should step back first!"
"The housekeeper is leaving!" The very polite voice sounded again, and then the butler disappeared.
In ancient times, when the life span was not long, especially in troubled times. The importance of the heir to the ruler is self-evident. After all, the absence of an heir means that there is no hope for this force, and the heir can play a good role in reassuring people's hearts.
Although Liu Ye has two nephews, they are not suitable as heirs. Because they are about the same age as Liu Ye. Liu Wu was even slightly older. There is a high probability that both of them will die in front of Liu Ye. Besides, Liu Ye, who has his own careful thoughts, does not want his family business to be inherited by 'outsiders'.
Liu Ye now has three women, Yang Ying, Cui Bai, and Su Qing. Among them, Yang Ying and Cui Bai are not very old. Yang Ying was only sixteen years old, while Cui Bai was only fifteen years old. At this age, it is not suitable to give birth. In ancient times, medical conditions were very backward. When a woman gives birth to a child, she is passing through the ghost gate. Whether it is an ordinary peasant girl or an upper-class family girl, there is a high probability of death in childbirth. It's just that because the living conditions of the family are very good, there are specially trained stable women to help with midwifery. The probability is slightly lower, but still very high.
Although Liu Ye is a pervert and a scumbag. But for his woman, Liu Ye still inherited the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and loved his wife very much. His two little wives are too young. The body is not fully developed. At least until they reach the age of eighteen, Liu Ye will not let them get pregnant.
This is also the reason why Yang Ying has been married to Liu Ye for more than two years, but she has never conceived a child? This is not Yang Ying's problem, but Liu Ye's ghost. Yang Ying was under a lot of pressure for this, and even Yang Yang, who had always loved her, was slightly blamed. In order to be able to conceive, the very conservative little wife even shyly agreed to a certain proposed 'child' pose. If it weren't for Liu Ye's constant comfort, the little wife who was very fragile would probably have suffered from depression.
As for the other woman, Liu Ye's little lover Su Qing. She is already nineteen, plus her body has been systematically strengthened. There is no danger in having a baby. Although Liu Ye usually ploughed the fields, Su Qing never got pregnant. If it weren't for the housekeeper's repeated assurances, he would have doubted that it was his own problem.
So for this matter, Liu Ye was very distressed. Now Liu Ye's power is not large, and he can't see this kind of problem. When Liu Ye's power expands in the future, the problem of the heir will immediately become apparent. The best way to solve this problem is to get one of the three women pregnant. Even if it is a girl, it can also play a good role in soothing people's hearts, which at least means that Liu Ye has the ability to have children, and Liu Ye is also very young now, as for the male heir, he can give birth slowly in the future. But the problem now is that the good man Liu Ye is reluctant to let his two little wives take risks, but Su Qing has never been able to conceive.
"Maybe it's ...... like this" Suddenly, Liu Ye remembered something in his heart. A graceful beauty emerged in Liu Ye's mind. Thinking of this, Liu Ye showed a lewd smile, like a super pervert.
"Liu Zhijun, Liu Zhijun......" The soft call woke up the imaginary Liu Ye. A swarthy strong man didn't know when he was already standing behind Liu Ye. Fortunately, Liu Ye had his back to him, otherwise Liu Ye's majestic image would have been completely destroyed.
