"Are there a lot of people in the Women's Army who want to leave the army?" Li Xiu was also a little surprised when he heard Ma Ye's words, the Women's Army is not inferior to the elite of the Tiance Army, although the number is smaller, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, every time he used to fight, he was the main force in the army, which also made the status of the Women's Army very good, the treatment was also very good, and there was no problem for ordinary soldiers to feed their families.

"Yes, I made a rough count, just the people who are determined to leave the army, there are more than a thousand people, some of these people are old, some are old and some are young and old, worried that if they die on the battlefield in the future, the family will have no support, there was no opportunity before, and now they want to quit the army as soon as possible and live the life of ordinary people." Ma Ye replied with a sigh.

Datang is a government military system, it is said that as long as the conditions are suitable for men to enter the army, they can only quit when they are old, and the women's army is no exception, and most of them are veterans of a hundred battles, many people are a little tired of the war after marrying wives and having children, so it is normal to want to take this opportunity to retire.

"More than a thousand? It's really not a small amount, and the court doesn't have any compensation for them? Li Xiu was startled when he heard this, and then he pondered for a moment and said again, the matter of the incorporation of the Women's Army was handled by Ma Ye, and Li Xiu didn't know much about this aspect.

"We just came back yesterday, the court has not yet sent someone to contact us, it is estimated that someone will come soon, but now you also know the situation of the court, I heard that last time in order to let the Turks retreat, His Majesty emptied the treasury, I am afraid that I can't afford to settle the brothers who withdrew, at most I will give them some land, but the good fields near Chang'an are all owned, and the government has either inferior land in its hands, or it has been barren for many years, and it has to spend a lot of effort to restore farming, even if they have a little savings in their hands now, I'm afraid that the days to come will also be very hard! Ma Ye was very worried.

The women's army is full of brothers who have been with him for many years and have been born and died, and he doesn't want these brothers to follow him for so many years, and he will have to worry about supporting his family in the future, and even he feels that it is his duty to support these brothers.

Li Xiu can also understand Ma Ye's mood, in fact, not only Ma Ye, but also Princess Pingyang will never watch her subordinates be wronged, such as those female guards around her, if they find a suitable family, they will marry out, if their in-laws treat them badly, Princess Pingyang will also help them out, just look at Qiu Niang.

"Uncle Ma, can you gather all these brothers who have retired from the army to live together? That way we can help them in one place too! I saw Li Xiu think for a moment, and finally suddenly raised his head and said.

"Together, you mean let them all move in together?" Ma Ye asked again when he heard this.

"That's right, we have a lot of industries in our house, and some places need a lot of people, so these brothers can be arranged!" Li Xiu nodded and said.

"No, there are indeed some industries in our house, and the ones that can arrange the most people are coal mines and canneries, but these brothers have followed me for many years, so they can't be allowed to dig coal and make cans, right?" When Ma Ye heard this, his face turned dark.

Datang was originally a class society, and most of the main people who went to coal mines and canning factories were poor people who had nothing, and even the main people who dug coal in the coal mines were bought prisoners of war, and no one cared about them when they were tired to death, so Ma Ye was naturally reluctant to let his brother go there.

"Uncle Ma, I didn't say that these brothers should be sent to coal mines and canneries, but if they want to go, they can actually do it, such as arranging for them to be overseers or something like that, but I think it's a bit condescending to do so, for them, I think it's the most suitable choice for us to set up a caravan!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Caravans?" Ma Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he spoke again, "This is a good way, you can tell me your thoughts in detail!" ”

"Hehe, in fact, my idea is very simple, Uncle Ma, you see, whether it is canned food or tea, the current sales are very large, many merchants line up to buy, and then their caravans are transported to various places to sell, the difference in the middle makes them earn, if we have our own caravan, we don't want to earn more, at least there is no problem in feeding the entire caravan!" Li Xiu also said with a smile at this time.

The women's army is all brothers who are used to holding knives and guns, you let them suddenly take off their armor and go to farming, some people may be able to adapt, but more people simply can't adapt to this change, in contrast, the caravan is much easier, as long as the goods are escorted to the destination, the road is at most to prevent some robbers and thieves, for the elite of these women's army is simply too easy, and the income is definitely more than in the army, the most important thing is that the caravan needs more people, and there is not much pressure to arrange more than a thousand people.

"That's a good idea! Speaking of which, although there are a lot of industries in our house, there are indeed fewer caravans, and a lot of money is earned by others! Ma Ye also applauded loudly when he heard Li Xiu's words, he had also moved the idea of forming a caravan before, but at that time, the family industry alone was very busy, and there was no one, so he could only give up.

"Haha~, then it's decided, Uncle Ma, you go to the barracks to talk to your brothers, and if you don't want to follow the caravan around, you can also arrange for them to go to other industries, and even if someone likes to farm, I can find a way to divide corn and sweet potatoes among them, although I can't make a fortune growing these high-yield crops, I will definitely not starve!" Li Xiu also laughed at this time.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go back now!" Ma Ye is a fiery character, he made up his mind and immediately turned around and went back to the barracks, and after Li Xiu personally sent him out, he returned to the mansion and made a detailed plan for the establishment of a caravan, which is also a habit he brought from the shopping mall in his previous life, after all, the caravan is also a part of business, and it is not possible to do without a plan.

At the same time, in a tent in the camp of the Women's Army, Qiu Shili, Xiang Shanzhi and He Panren also gathered together to drink and chat, only to see that He Panren suddenly raised his head and said to Xiang Shanzhi: "Old Xiang, are you really planning to quit?" ”

"That's right, you also know my donkey's temper, I have offended a lot of people before, if it weren't for the princess and Brother Ma's protection, I'm afraid I would have fallen to the ground, this time I followed the princess and the king of Qin again, although the king of Qin said that he didn't care about the past, but who knows if he will be excluded in the future, my temper is not good, in case one day and the boss stand up, it is really possible to cut the other party with a knife, so it is better to retire in advance, maybe you can still end up with a whole corpse when you die!" Xiang Shanzhi, who only replied to the bearded man with a relaxed face.

"Lao Xiang, you have to know that if King Qin ascends the throne, in order to win the hearts of the people, he will definitely reward the military generals of Wenchen, although we have some conflicts with the King of Qin, but with the relationship between him and the princess, we should not be blamed, and when the reward is awarded in the future, our brother is at least a county duke, if you leave the army now, won't the previous years of hard work be in vain?" At this time, I saw that the tall and thin Qiu Shili also opened his mouth to persuade him.

Compared with Xiang Shanzhi and He Panren, Qiu Shili has much more scheming, and his brother is Li Shimin's henchman, so he can also inquire about a lot of confidential information, and his knowledge is far stronger than that of Xiang and He.

"There's no pity, I know better than anyone how many pounds and taels I have, and I missed this opportunity, and I will be rewarded by King Qin in the future, it will be difficult to get out again, in case I offend people again, I am afraid that the princess will not be able to protect me anymore!" Xiang Shanzhi sees the Tao very thoroughly.

He is not very tactful, and he does not have Qiu Shili's city government, except for leading troops to fight, he is almost useless, and people like him are in the officialdom, and in the end, I am afraid that they don't even know how to die.

"Lao Xiang, don't be confused, that's the county prince, and it can be passed on to your children and grandchildren in the future!" He Panren was a little anxious when he heard this, he had the heaviest utilitarianism among the three, but it was not surprising, because he was a Hu man, and he had also been a businessman, and he had been looked down upon before, so he was anxious to use his official title to prove himself.

"Lao He, you don't have to persuade anymore, I can't change this stinky temper, my brothers have offended a lot before, fortunately, your two brothers don't care about me, today I am here to salute two of you for a bowl, and it is not in vain for brothers!" At this time, Xiang Shanzhi raised the wine bowl and said to Qiu Shili and the two.

"You ......" Seeing that Xiang Shanzhi was determined not to be an official anymore, He Panren was still a little unwilling, and when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Xiang Qiu Shili, and then saw him slowly speak, "Lao He, you don't have to persuade him, since Lao Xiang has said so, obviously he also understands it, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, it is not bad to quit the army and become a rich man!" ”

Hearing Qiu Shili say this, He Panren looked at Xiang Shanzhi again, and finally sighed, picked up the wine bowl and finally touched Xiang Shanzhi, and then the three of them drank it all.

After putting down the wine bowl, He Panren ate two mouthfuls of food, and then said: "Lao Xiang, since you plan to quit the army, do you have any plans in the future, you won't really be a rich man as Lao Qiu said, right?" ”

"Be a fart rich man, you don't know my temper, I have never been able to save money around me, but I have been rewarded with a lot of land before, and the mother-in-law at home is very good, and I can collect a lot of rent every year, anyway, I will definitely not die of hunger!" Xiang Shanzhi shook his beard and said, he is a martial artist, he has a bold personality and is good at gambling, and it is strange to be able to save money.

But just as Xiang Shanzhi's words fell, he suddenly saw Ma Ye pick up the door curtain and walk in and laughed: "Lao Xiang, you don't have to worry about money, I have already arranged it!" (To be continued.) )
