Regarding Guo Yi's last question, Cui Miao hesitated whether he should answer it.

After hesitating for a moment, he said slowly: "The concubine is twenty-five years old this year, and she has already had two husbands-in-law, both of whom died less than a year after marriage. Today's son is also a posthumous son. ”

Guo Yi said: "Bring him to me to see." ”

"Yes." Cui Miao slowly got up and exited the lobby. The other Wang disciples didn't dare to look at Guo Yi, they all lowered their heads and were silent.

Not long after, Cui Miao brought a three-year-old child over, who looked smart, but was a little afraid of life.

"General, this is the only son of the concubine, surnamed Wang, and left by name."

"Stay? Does it have any special meaning? ”

Cui Miao said: "He was left to me by his husband, and it is also the reason why I stayed in the Wang family." ”

"You are no more than twenty-five years old, you are the age of the year, but you have gray hair, wrinkled face, and you are more than ten years old. Presumably, things inside and outside the Wang family are quite hard, right? ”

Cui Miao bowed her head and said with a smile: "It's just a short matter in the family, thank you for the general's trouble." Liu'er, meet General Guo. ”

Wang Liu, who was ignorant, arched his hand, and said in a milky voice: "Meet General Guo." ”

"Come here." Guo Yi was originally a modern man who was almost thirty years old, and he lived for a few years in ancient times, and it was the age when he was looking forward to having children and daughters. It's a pity that there are many concubines in the family, and he has worked hard, but there has been no movement. If you want to say it's a woman's problem, right? Zhao Rou has given birth to daughters, and Lu Zhenjing has given birth to five children with different men, all of whom are healthy. Empress Dowager He also gave birth to a son. To say that they are old, have more children, and have degraded their functions. But Wang Yi, Ai Li, Zero, Zhang Yulan and other women are all virgins, all sixteen or seventeen years old, absolutely no problem!

"Could it be that after I was strengthened, my physique was different from that of ordinary people, resulting in reproductive isolation?" A dangerous thought popped up in Guo Yi's mind. But that shouldn't be, right? Blacks, whites, and yellows have not intermarried for thousands of years, and there are huge differences between them, and they do not affect the birth of children at all.

"General. Checkmate. ”

Cui Miao's shout pulled him out of his thoughts, and said strangely: "Is the general troubled?" ”

"Exactly!" Guo Yi sighed and whimpered: "I have been fighting in the south and the north for nearly five years. Which concubine in the family is not a national beauty? Which one is not healthy and clean? But after all these years, I don't have a son or a daughter. My former colleague has already added two sons in the past two years! My tribe followed me to the north and south, and I got together less with my wives and concubines, and I also had children and daughters. In vain, I laid down a piece of the country, but I didn't have any heirs, what can I do about it? ”

If an ordinary person said this, the people of the Wang family could still help persuade him. But this is the monarch, if he opens his mouth rashly, he will kill his head! In ancient times, there was nothing more serious than a queen, especially a monarch who fought the world. Looking for women everywhere, in addition to satisfying lust, is to reproduce. Only when there are many children and grandchildren can the monarch be stable.

Cui Miao could only flatter and comfort, "The general is not weak yet, he is at the age of strength and blood, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Well, I'll borrow your good words." Guo Yi didn't know the bottom of his heart, although it was true that this body was still four months old and twenty years old, but no one could say, after all, he had undergone such a major operation and had been strengthened and transformed, maybe something really went wrong. If you don't make sense, if you don't have any contraception, why can't you get pregnant?

"General." Cui Miao had an idea and thought of a good idea. Guo Yi saw Wang Liucai and sighed, which shows that he likes this child very much. It's better to push the boat down the river and mention this relationship up, so that the Wang family can be regarded as worry-free.

"Although Liu'er is young, he is also quite sensible, so it is better to stay with the general and listen to the messenger."

"How does this work?" Guo Yi picked up Wang Liu and asked with a smile: "Little guy, how about me being your father-in-law?" ”

"The general can't do it!" Cui Miao doesn't have such courage, the relationship between the righteous father and son, the people are okay for the family, for a monarch, once he has a son, the righteous son will become the person who must be removed! "General, Liu'er is just a grass people, where is he worthy of the general, please take back your life!"

Guo Yi said, "Can I just take you in?" ”

Cui Miao stood stunned on the spot, and the Wang clan was also dumbfounded.

"I'm not wrong, am I? He is your son, and if you become my concubine, won't he become a righteous son? I was born in Orion, and I don't pay attention to it so much. What do you think? Promise not? ”

Cui Miao quickly came back to her senses and said to Wang Liu: "Liu'er, why don't you hurry up and kneel and kowtow to your father-in-law?" ”

"Yes." Wang Liuyi kowtowed to Guo Yi and shouted in a milky voice, "Father-in-law." ”

"Hey!" Guo Yi happily held him in his arms, kissed his face again and again, and asked Cui Miao with a smile, "Say it." Who else in the Wang family needs me to meet? From today onwards, you mother and son will come with me. ”

"If the general has time, he can meet the Great Elder."

"Lead the way."

In the depths of the royal mansion, there is an extremely quiet small villa. Although he was a lot old, the Great Elder did not sleep. To be precise, since Guo Yi arrived at the palace, no one in the Wang family has been able to sleep. This is a negotiation that will determine the fortune of the Wang family, and they are all quietly waiting for the result.

Seeing Guo Yi hugging Wang Liu with a smile on his face, he laughed. Cui Miao followed her like a wife, reminding her husband and son of the threshold under her feet from time to time.

The elders are all more than sixty people who have lived, where is it still unclear? Cui Miao was originally leaving, her husband died, she had no son, and it was natural to remarry. But there was a posthumous son, and with this posthumous son and her own talents, she quickly became the speaker of the Wang family.

Now that she is willing to commit herself to Guo Yi in exchange for the glory of the Wang family, this woman has done her best!

"Old decay, meet the general!"

"The old man doesn't have to be polite." Guo Yi was really not used to seeing a group of gray-haired old men kneeling down for him, so he quickly stopped them. After counting, there were seventeen old men, and there were only twelve young students in the lobby, and there were not many children in sight. The aging problem of this family is very serious!

The elders were relieved to see that Guo Yi was full of affinity and had no style. asked: "I don't know what my old bones can serve the general?" ”

"As long as you enjoy the joy of family, it is considered the greatest effectiveness." Guo Yi put Wang Liu down and said with a smile: "I have the courage to accept Wang Liu as my adopted son, and Cui Miao will be my concubine, and I came here to inform you personally." ”

The attitude is very clear, just to inform, not to solicit opinions.

"Thank you for the general's love, you will have to bother the general a lot if you stay with your son."

"It should."

"Mother, I'm sleepy." After all, Wang Liu is only a three-year-old child, how can he understand these things of adults. At this time, it had been a long time at night, and the child wanted to sleep, so he naturally spoke.

"Take him to sleep. I'm going to rest too. Guo Yi stretched, touched the back of his head, and walked back lazily.

Cui Miao hurriedly ordered, "Someone is coming." Prepare an upper room for the general. ”

Guo Yi followed the maid and advised: "By the way, my horse, help me entertain." ”

The maid led him to a warm and comfortable room. Guo Yi stood in the room, undressing, and thinking about the recovery of the state.

Recover and merge the states and expel the Xiongnu. It does not depend on the strength of combat effectiveness, but on the supply of grain and grass. The Yellow River is harmful, but only rich is one set. The entire Yellow River basin also has some value along the land. In ancient times, the level of exploitation and utilization of resources was very low. In a place like the Loess Plateau, if it is not necessary, the central dynasty is often too lazy to ask for it.

Only when the empire is strong and encounters the British lord will it reclaim the Hetao area and push the border of the empire to the area of the Yinshan Mountains. The Western Han Dynasty relied on military force to control the annexed states. The Eastern Han Dynasty relied on the appeasement policy and settled with the Xiongnu, so as to control the horse farm in Yinshan.

All in all, the cold weapon country, the Hetao region must be taken, because it is necessary to raise horses. But to win, you must also have the national strength that was at your best!

Guo Yi has little interest in the Yinshan Horse Farm. In addition to the waters crisscrossed by the south of the Yangtze River, horses can be raised in the Central Plains. To raise war horses, it is not in the endless prairie, but in the scientific breeding method!

The horse breeding technology of the Han Dynasty, when he was an official in the court, he saw detailed information. To put it simply, there is no science at all! I don't even understand the most basic truth of choosing the best of the best! So no matter how much sweat and blood horses are introduced, in the end, the bamboo basket is empty! Always thinking about using high-quality genes to improve low-quality genes, if you can succeed, there will be ghosts!

But even if it's all infantry! And the state must also be recovered! He would never allow his rear to be the Huns!

The question is, how can the annexed states be recovered at the lowest cost? Transporting grain and grass from Hanoi requires crossing the vast Taihang Mountains, which is extremely expensive. And the distance is far away, the command is inconvenient, in case something happens, Chaoge still doesn't know any news.

"Why don't you move the office?" Such a thought popped up in Guo Yi's mind. The thought swelled all at once. Not only must the administrative office be moved, but even the location of Jinyang City must be moved.

Today's Jinyang City is located in Jinyuan District of modern Taiyuan City, on the west bank of the Fen River. And the location of modern Taiyuan City is the best location to block the Xiongnu in the north and Guanzhong in the south!

"Emigrants! Develop the Fenhe Plain and build Jinyang City into the largest city in Shanxi! And then I'll be here to direct the war against the North! To the west, I will take back the Loop. To the north, I want to fly over the Yin Mountains and shoot the Mongolian Plateau! To the east, I want to march to Juyongguan and plot against Youzhou. To the south, I want to take control of the division! ”

Thinking of this, Guo Yi was extremely excited, looking around for paper and pen, and wanted to write a letter to Fan Xin to start arranging this matter. But there is no pen and paper in this bedroom!

"Someone! Bring pen and paper! ”

After a while, Cui Miao pushed the door in, holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "General."

Guo Yi hurriedly took it, not even noticing that Cui Miao had already taken a bath, and her body was full of the fragrance of flower petals. The clothes were light, and the chest was half exposed, so it was obvious that he had come to spend the night with him.

But all he had in his mind was his grand plan, which he quickly wrote on the paper. I can't wait to discuss this matter with Fan Xin face-to-face now, and I am eager to share my thoughts with him! This is a plan that Wang Ming, Wang Yi, Yan Hua and others cannot find common ground. Only Fan Xin, the "Xiao He", can understand the importance of migrating to Taiyuan!

Cui Miaoan stood quietly aside, and suddenly remembered that when the husband and wife were in love, her husband read at night, and she also added fragrance to her red sleeves. It's just that the man in front of him, who is five years younger than himself, doesn't have much bookish energy. On the contrary, it has the smell of blood, which has been fought in a hundred battles!

The words of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance are particularly beautiful, and the knife is cut and slashed, like a work of art. But what is written is neither an article expressing ambition nor a poem praising food. It's a scattered, but ambitious plan.

The oil lamp burned quickly, and Cui Miao went to get the oil, but found that she was rusty. I haven't seen a late-night light in three years. It's lonely! She was a normal twenty-five-year-old woman, but the widowed woman had to suppress all desires. Whenever he couldn't do it at night, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and sprinkled them in the house. The black light blindly searched, and when the copper coin was recovered, the sky was bright. Wear silk and satin, wear gold and jade jewelry, forget the pain of the night, and become a vigorous lady.

Gently renewing the oil lamp, still looking at him quietly. At this moment, his eyebrows overlapped with those of his husband. But soon, his fierce and murderous martial temperament smashed the anger of the two scholars.

"Hah!" Guo Yi slapped the pen on the table heavily, took out his private seal, and stamped the letter. "Someone ...... coming"

At this time, Guo Yi realized that this woman had been waiting for a long time. The two looked at each other speechlessly, Guo Yi folded the letter and put it behind his head, "Let the communication team send it to Fan Xin in the starry night." ”

Only a black shadow flashed, and the letter disappeared.

Cui Miaoying smiled, "General, it's time to rest." ”

"Hmm." Guo Yi stretched out his hand and took her into his arms.
