After the matter of meritorious deeds and rewards has been dealt with, what Wang Lang has to do next is to prepare for disarmament, and the army of more than 200,000 is really too large for the Xia Kingdom.

As soon as the issue of disarmament was raised, it was immediately opposed by military personnel.

As Wang Lang's confidant, Lin Shupi was unwilling to disarm in his heart, but he still chose to stand on Wang Lang's side.

Officers at all levels told Wang Lang about the drawbacks of disarmament, and the spit was almost sprayed on Wang Lang's face.

Wang Lang's face was extremely gloomy, and he slapped the table and shouted: "What kind of system are you guys, this is not a market in Yancheng at this time!" ”

Seeing Wang Lang's anger, everyone immediately quieted down.

"Hubu Shangshu, tell them about the military spending in the past few years." Wang Lang said to Kong Er.

Kong Er glanced at these officers, he was also very dissatisfied with the realization of these people, as the head of the household department, he naturally knew that in order to maintain this huge army in the past few years, the financial pressure of the Xia State was huge, and the most important thing was that most of this pressure was borne by himself, after all, he sat in this position.

With a light cough, Kong Er saluted Wang Lang, arched his hand to the hundred officials, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, since the expansion of the army in Daxia four years ago, due to the lack of a large number of young and strong laborers, all walks of life in the country have been affected, especially the grain is particularly serious, the annual grain output is not even half of what it was before the expansion, and the farmland has been barren in a large area, and the soldiers are not engaged in production, and the grain supplied to the army every year accounts for eighty percent of the tax revenue. In addition to some of the food left by the people, the remaining hundreds of thousands of people can only live on this twenty percent of the food, you can imagine how difficult the life of the people is now, although there are many newborns born every year in our Xia country, but these people want to be able to make a difference, at least more than ten years, if not disarmament, I estimate that the current situation can only last for another two to three years, and then many people will not be able to fill their stomachs, disarmament is a must be done. ”

The rest of the officers were silent after hearing this, if it was really as Kong Er said, the problem was indeed very serious, and if the soldiers heard that their families might not even have enough to eat in the future, it would be a great blow to morale.

Lin Jianya disagreed with Kong Er's words a little, got up and looked at Kong Er and said: "Kong Shangshu, you are in charge of the household department, why don't you say that you are not capable of disarming if you don't have enough money and food, I don't agree with disarmament." ”

When Kong Er heard this, his beard trembled with anger, and he was so humiliated by his hard work to manage the money and food for Great Xia, pointing at Lin Jianya and laughing angrily: "Hehe, General Soldier Lin, Baron Lin, I can't do it, if I don't have me, how can your army eat, our household department can be said to have been working for the army for the past few years, are you blind?"

"Bold, you dare to speak to me like that." Lin Jianya said angrily.

Seeing that the two of them were about to make a move, the civil and military officials beside them hurriedly got up and stopped the two.

Wang Lang sneered and looked at this chaotic scene, and said, "Why do you still want to fight?" ”

Wang Lang's words suddenly made people stunned, and after remembering where this was, his heart was suddenly shocked, when it was still the era of the tribe, Wang Lang punished the two because of the quarrel between Lin Shupi and Kong Yi during the discussion, and now on such an important occasion, he roared in public, but he did not give Wang Lang, the emperor, any face, and the two of them couldn't help but leave a cold sweat.

"The minister is rude!" Kong Er said respectfully.

"The minister is rude!" Lin Jianya also said lukewarmly.

Wang Lang didn't plan to trouble the two, and said: "You have all heard what Kong Shangshu said, Xia Guo is now facing a very serious shortage of manpower, this army is ruling, the longest of those veterans in the army has been a soldier for five or six years, so it is reasonable to let them retire." ”

Lin Jianya wanted to say something more when he heard this, but Wang Lang looked at him with a glance and choked back his words.

"Raise your hand if you agree to disarmament now!"

The civilian officials naturally followed Wang Lang's footsteps and raised their right hands one after another, and Lin Shupi, who was Wang Lang's confidant and one of the two most powerful in the military, also raised his right hand without surprise.

When those officers saw that the boss had raised their hands, they naturally had no objections, and Lin Jianya's subordinates were either raising or not raising at the moment, and they were all waiting for Lin Jianya's opinion.

Lin Jianya looked at these people who raised their hands angrily, and under the pressure, he had no choice but to agree to Wang Lang's disarmament plan.

Whether it was willingly or not, the agreement on disarmament was successfully adopted this time.

Wang Lang promulgated the disarmament plan formulated with the civilian officials, more than 200,000 troops, he intends to dismantle 130,000 people within a year, only retain 100,000 standing troops, and those retired soldiers will exist as reserves or militia, they are ordinary peasants in peacetime, but if the Xia Kingdom encounters a war, they must unconditionally respond to the call of the country and put on military uniforms to serve the country again.

In addition to this reserve system, Wang Lang promulgated a compulsory military system, and in the future, all young people who have reached the age of 16 in the Xia Kingdom must join the army for three years, and this decision has to a great extent calmed the discontent of the military and reduced the resistance to the disarmament plan a lot.

The meeting lasted from morning to dusk, and Wang Lang and these officials discussed in detail some details of the disarmament process, and the specific disarmament plan was handed over to the Ministry of War to draw up a written document.

On the other hand, since the aristocratic officers of the dinosaur people were ordered to be executed by Wang Lang, these dragon leaderless captives completely gave up their desire to do something, and stayed in the captive camp waiting for the human beings to arrange for them.

Losing a war and becoming a slave is not an unacceptable thing, even among the dinosaur people, the defeated side being a slave may be the best kind of end, and what makes them feel guilty is that the human race is like livestock and pets in the Old World, and this concept is extremely difficult to change.

Fang Shaoshi came to the prisoner camp under the escort of several human soldiers, and when these prisoners of war saw this kind of fellow who betrayed their race and was willing to be a human lackey, most of them were extremely forced to look at Fang Shaoshi in their hearts.

But those little leaders of the dinosaur people promoted by humans were extremely envious of Fang Shaoshi, this guy was able to get an official position among humans, and there must be some way for humans to do this.

When these little leaders saw Fang Shaoshi coming, they immediately graciously brought chairs for it and respectfully placed them beside it.

Fang Shaoshi nodded with satisfaction, this kind of treatment may only be enjoyed by those noble lords in the old continent, although he can think of a little person who was once unknown, he can also have today's status, even if this status is extremely shameful.

Fang Shaoshi sat leisurely on the chair, enjoying the service of these fellow clansmen.

Squinting his eyes, he said, "You guys are good. ”

When these people heard this, they were immediately excited, and the other party slapped their asses again and again.

At this time, a small leader said: "This nobleman, we lowly people don't know what to call you yet. ”

"When my name is Fang Shao, this is my human name, in the future, just call my official, the officials on the human side are called officials or chiefs, you have to remember this clearly." Fang Shaoshi said slowly.

"Can humans speak to us?" One asked.

"Although they can't speak, but there are still people who can understand, I see that a few of you are not bad, let me remind you, you should pay attention when you speak in the future, in case you lose your head, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Yes, yes, we lowly people still need your care in the future, and we will definitely listen to you in the future."

Fang Shaoshi's face changed when he heard this, and he said to him: "What do you mean to listen to me, you all have to listen to His Majesty the Emperor here, let me hear this in the future, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

These people knew that they had said the wrong thing, and they were immediately startled, and they even nodded yes.

"Fang Guanren, do you have something to do with us?" One asked.

Fang Shaoshi's face became a little unnatural when he heard this, and a pair of eyes swept over those dinosaur captives.

A small leader followed Fang Shaoshi's gaze, and suddenly understood in his heart, thinking that this guy in front of him was estimated to have been alone on the human side for a long time, and he was depressed.

Immediately grinned, and said with a terrifying smile: "Fang Guanren's thoughts, humble people understand. ”

Fang Shaoshi glanced at this person in surprise, and nodded with satisfaction, with a teachable expression in clothes.

"What's your name?" Fang Shaoshi asked at it.

"The name of the lowly person does not dare to stain the eardrums of the Fang Guanren." The man said humbly.

Fang Shaoshi said disappreciatively: "Seeing that you are quite clever, I will go back and talk to those chiefs and transfer you to my side to do things." ”

When this person heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately knelt in front of Fang Shaoshi, and kowtowed again and again.

This guy who took shit luck suddenly made several leaders envious, and I don't know what this guy saw.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Fang Shaoshi asked again.

The man replied, "Now in the land of human beings, the former name is no longer needed, and the lowly man wants to ask the official to give him a name." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of the rest of the little bosses suddenly changed, and they secretly scolded this guy in their hearts for being shameless enough, I thought that I was shameless enough, but I didn't expect this guy to be so shameless.

In the culture of the Shalunga Empire, the matter of giving a name can only be given by the elders to the younger generations, if it is a person who is not related by blood to give a name, it proves that the person has sold himself to the other party, in their religious culture, this is equivalent to the death of the other party to recognize the other party as the master, and the children and grandchildren must be the slaves of the other party.

Although Fang Shaoshi knew that there was no such habit in the human world, he was still very satisfied, even those small nobles in the Old World did not follow like this.

Fang Shaoshi, who was extremely satisfied in his heart, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you will have the same surname as me, and from today onwards, you will be called Fang Wanglong!" ”

"Fang Guanren, what do you mean at this time?"

Fang Shaoshi explained: "They call us dinosaur people, this forgetting dragon means that you should try to forget your original identity in the future, even if we and humans are not the same species, but you have to treat yourself as a human from the heart, understand?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Wanglong hurriedly nodded and said, "The little one understands, the little one understands!" ”

After Fang Shaoshi let him get up, he said to the rest of the leaders: "A few of your choices are very correct, although you are slaves now, but you have an advantage over them, if there is a chance, I will say some good things to you, and after adapting to the human way of life as soon as possible, you can also get rid of slavery, and maybe you will also have the opportunity to be a nobleman in the future." ”

These leaders nodded again and again, indicating that they absolutely obeyed Fang Shaoshi's words.

"Recently, the human side may have to arrange for you to work, you must take care of these guys, and if you make trouble, you will fight to the death, and try to leave a good impression on the human race."

With only a trace of guilt for his own kind, Fang Shaoshi pointed out a few clear paths for them, and then glanced at Fang Wanglong.

Fang Wanglong immediately understood, and said to the few little leaders: "What are you still doing there, hurry up and pick out a few sturdy ones from the captives to serve Fang Guan." ”

These little leaders suddenly understood what this guy had seen just now, and at this time they all secretly scolded themselves for being too stupid, and after reacting, they immediately selected a few female dragons from this pile of people who looked healthy.

Fang Shaoshi nodded with satisfaction, took out a notebook from his arms, wrote a few words on it with charcoal, and handed it to the human soldiers behind him.

The human soldiers glanced at each other, nodded, and scattered around the camp to find a slightly clean place to rest.

After Fang Shaoshi, who had been holding back for several years, entered the cabin, he was so hungry and thirsty that he immediately grabbed the two female dragons.

Dinosaur people saw that the status of males and females can be said to be equal, and there is little difference between the two in terms of intelligence and physical strength.

But when Fang Shao, who had lived in human society for a long time, was inevitably influenced by humans, and was extremely envious of the human society where males were dominant, these two wooden dragons did not dare to resist at all, and let Fang Shaoshi do some inappropriate things to himself.

Fang Shaoshi, who was physically and mentally satisfied, put on his clothes and walked out of the cabin refreshed.

When Fang Wanglong and those people saw it come out, they hurriedly came over, and kept praising its combat strength.

"Fang Guanren, you look at the villain's business... Fang Wanglong asked again and again.

Fang Shaoshi nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, it's not a problem for my current identity to come out alone, and you can come out in a few days." ”

"Thank you Fang Guan, thank you Fang Guan." Fang Wanglong kowtowed again and again.

Fang Shaoshi walked up to those human soldiers and wrote respectfully: "A few commanders have been waiting for a long time, I will invite a few of them to drink in a while." ”

The soldiers nodded in satisfaction and left the filthy prisoner camp with Fang Shaoshi.
