After convincing the two generals, Qin Lei smiled again: "But this time is extraordinary, so the lone general is temporarily set up as a first-level military unit, and the candidates are produced from the two of you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although the two of them already knew, after listening to the official announcement of the prince, they couldn't help but feel a little excited, so they surrendered their orders together.

Seeing that the prince signaled to him, Shi Yong said loudly: "In the future, the new army will set up a dual-officer system to prepare for the expansion that may occur at any time. The crowd responded in unison.

Shi Yong said: "The next topic is about the recruitment of the new army, our army is now less than 15,000 recruits in training, and the total number of recruits is less than 15,000, which is far from the bottom line of 40,000 people required. After speaking, he arched his hand to Qin Lei and said, "Please give me instructions!" Everyone also looked at Qin Lei.

Qin Lei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The Lone King is initially preparing to recruit 30,000 people, even according to the minimum elimination rate, it would be good to have 20,000 qualified soldiers left in the end." Saying that, he smiled at Guan Tao, who had a stern face: "Don't worry, the red line of 40,000 people will not be broken, so that the inner government will help feed 25,000, and the government secretary will have the task of 15,000, which is not so terrible." ”

Guan Taoqiang smiled: "A lot of things have to stop. ”

Qin Lei took a sip of the teacup and said resolutely: "The main task at the moment is to strengthen the army to improve itself, and other things should be put on hold first." Looking at Guan Tao's old face that was obviously too thin, he couldn't bear it, scratched his head, and said softly: "It's not impossible to put it back." Lone promises you, as long as we have a surplus in finances, those things in the government affairs temple will still be carried out unswervingly. ”

Guan Tao's face looked better, and he said softly: "But in any case, education cannot be stopped, and the Education Department must be built next year." "Everyone said in their hearts, when those little guys are available, maybe the world will be unified.

But Qin Lei was not so short-sighted, and laughed: "You don't need to say it, King Gu knows best in his heart." As he spoke, he looked at the disapproving crowd and said word by word: "You have all memorized the phrase 'no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education', whether it is now or in the future, it will be a basic policy of Lonely." Everyone saw the rare seriousness of the prince, so they hurriedly responded carefully.

Sighing lightly, Qin Lei slowed down and said: "If a country and a nation want to be strong, there must be a steady stream of talents. If only a few great people shine on the whole nation with a flash of inspiration, then in the long river of history, there will always be many dark times. It took a lot of determination to say this, but Qin Lei still decided to do it.

After everyone had written down this, Qin Lei turned the topic back to conscription, and said to Shi Meng and Hou Xin: "Lone has decided to recruit troops in the three northern provinces, and you must ensure that the conscription notice is posted in the most beautiful mountain villages, and someone will explain it to them and take them to the county town conscription point to report for duty." ”

Huangfu Zhanwen was a little surprised: "The prince doesn't need to be conscripted? Do you want to switch to conscription? "The conscription system is to directly arrest the strong men, whether you want to or not, just take them away. Although the conscription system is inevitably deceived and deceived, the recruits recruited are always better than the strong men who are forcibly caught.

Qin Lei smiled: "Is there anything wrong?" Liu Bei raised the army during the Three Kingdoms, wasn't it just a recruitment? ”

Huangfu Zhanwen said respectfully: "He is in the name of exterminating the Yellow Turban Thief. "He is a descendant of Huangfu Song, the general of the Han Dynasty who exterminated the Yellow Turban Thieves, so Qin Lei used the example of Liu Bei's recruitment to talk about things, and he can indeed get twice the result with half the effort.

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Yes, as long as there is a great righteousness, there is no need for the people to respond, and my Great Qin is not short of hot-blooded youth." ”

"I don't know what righteousness the prince wants to use?" Shi Meng couldn't help but ask.

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Extinguish Qi." ”

"Extinguish Qi?" Everyone said softly, and in a blink of an eye, they understood the truth, the three northern provinces are adjacent to Eastern Qi, and since the day Zhao Wuji led his army to break through the country seventeen years ago, the attack and defense of Qin and Eastern Qi have changed positions. The Eastern Qi army led by the Baisheng Army, relying on the Kyushu cut from the Great Qin as a springboard, invaded the hinterland of the three provinces from time to time, burned, killed and looted, and for more than ten years, the accumulated blood debts owed to the people of the three provinces can be described as innumerable.

It was not until last year that Emperor Zhaowu personally conquered the occupied Kyushu and recaptured the Dasan Pass, which closed the country and ended the history of suffering of the people in the three provinces. But the relationship between the Eastern Qi and the three northern provinces is, as the saying goes: 'This feud can be great!' ’

Originally, if Daqin could smash the Yellow Dragon and beat the Eastern Qi to the ground, the people of the three provinces might feel better, but hundreds of thousands of troops returned with a feather, and they didn't even touch the shadow of the Baisheng Army, how could this be a grievance?

Qin Lei wants to use this article to transform the hatred in the hearts of the people into a sharp blade in his hands. Seeing that everyone looked enlightened, he said to Qin Qi: "Let's talk about the people's feelings that the People's Intelligence Division has discovered in the north." ”

Qin Qi said respectfully: "Obey," said as he took out a black leather book from the hole in the table, opened it and said to everyone: "Everyone, in accordance with the instructions of the prince, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will conduct spot checks on the people of the three eastern provinces. Of the 29,000 households surveyed, ninety percent were in favor of attacking Eastern Qi; Eighty out of seven people said that they would send their children into the army that attacked the Eastern Qi; Seven out of seven people have an impression of the prince, and more than eighty percent of them have a positive impression. After a pause, Qin Qi said in a deep voice: "According to the results of the investigation, the Analysis Section of the Civil Affairs Department believes that the conditions for our royal government to recruit troops in the three eastern provinces are complete and can be implemented. ”

Qin Lei has two sets of intelligence teams under him, the Ming Intelligence Department and the secret Intelligence Department is his Espionage Department, although he had the idea of parallel development at first. But it turns out that doing so will cause a great waste of resources, and the Longwei County Palace, which is run on a small scale, is not able to bear this waste for the time being.

Therefore, Qin Lei had to change his strategy and let the Civil Intelligence Department do some official intelligence collection and analysis work, and gave all the unsightly parts to the Espionage Department. Unexpectedly, this move was crooked, and the spy power in Qin Lei's hands was brought into full play at once, and a lot of precious information could be transmitted from light and dark, which could not only complement each other, but also corroborate each other, and it actually reached the optimal configuration.

The first time everyone in the room heard about the 'poll', they all felt very fresh, and couldn't help but discuss, Hou Xin smiled: "This is a good thing, where do you want to do business in the future, first 'poll' the local situation, know the local preferences and taboos, so is there no money?" Lord Qin, I will have a lot of work in the future. "Qin Lei's palace is in a stage of rapid development, and it needs countless money to support, so everyone doesn't think it's inappropriate to talk about Ah Duwu publicly.

Qin Lei glared at him and scolded with a smile: "You think it costs half the money to conduct a large-scale poll?" Let me tell you, Lord Qin just read this paragraph, but it took a hundred manpower, lasted a month, visited more than 40 prefectures in three provinces, and spent a total of more than 10,000 taels of silver to get it. Without Lone's approval, no one would want to use the investigative power of the Civil Intelligence Department in vain. "Qin Qi smiled apologetically at Hou Xin, which meant: 'It's not that I don't help you, it's that the above is unwilling.'

Hou Xin shrunk his neck and sneered: "I just said it casually." ”

Qin Lei couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's a major matter of the soldier country, so the lonely will spend a huge amount of money on the investigation." You don't need to be so precise in your business, and the scope is not so large, you can ask Qin Dusi to help you investigate it in a small area, but there is one item, and you have to settle the account afterwards. ”

Hou Xin smiled and said: "That's natural, the prince can send someone to Nanchu to inquire, and I am famous for Hou Sanlang's heavy commitment to keep promises." "Everyone is smiling.

After the conscription was discussed, the sun outside the window also rose to high in the sky, and then Qin Wei came up and said, "Lord, my lords, it's time for lunch." ”

Qin Lei listened, got up and said with a smile: "Eat, eat, it's okay not to say it, but I'm hungry when I say it." Everyone smiled and followed him downstairs, only to see that the first floor had already set up dishes and chopsticks, and the soup and rice had been served, waiting for everyone to come and eat.

Qin Wei took the water and waited for Qin Lei to wash his hands, Qin Lei stretched his hand into the basin, tilted his head and looked at the table, only to see eight meats, eight vegetables, two soups and two soups, exactly twenty dishes, and smiled at Guan Tao: "I have followed you to the bottom, I haven't seen so many delicious foods for a long time." "The palace is short of money, how can he squander while crying poor, plus he has been running around and tired, he really can't pay attention to eating, the last time he saw so many dishes, it was in the imperial meal that Emperor Zhaowu invited him to eat with the prince and the third child.

Qin Wei had been tossed by Qin Lei several times, and he was afraid that he would even hit his head if the leaves fell, and when he heard what the prince said, he quickly explained softly: "Fifteen people and twenty dishes are not much. ”

Guan Tao smiled: "Why is Xiao Weizi so well-behaved." Seeing that Qin Wei was embarrassed, he said to Qin Lei again: "Although there is a shortage of money in the house, it is not enough to shorten the prince's use of silver, please treat yourself well." ”

Qin Lei wiped his hands, beckoned everyone to the table, and said with a smile: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, today is our entrepreneurial period, and it is not yet time to enjoy it." As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and said to a piece of fat slices: "I promise you, when we have enough tossing in the future, we will hand over the matter to the next generation, and I will take you to play with tricks." ”

Everyone present had eaten with Qin Lei, and knew that he didn't like restraint, and when he saw that the prince was moving his chopsticks, they picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started moving. Huangfu Zhanwen said with a smile: "Then the prince and all the adults, you have to hurry up, the sons of your subordinates are already seventeen years old." ”

Qin Lei suddenly became interested and asked Qin Qi, "Your son-in-law seems to be bigger, right?" ”

Qin Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Twenty for the older one, eighteen for the younger one." ”

Qin Lei smiled at Qin Xuanyan and said, "Old Qin's grandsons seem to be ten years old. ”

Qin Xuanling smiled: "Exactly." He was invited to attend the meeting, and although he was just listening upstairs, it was enough to make him feel good enough to fly.

Qin Lei said to Yang Wenyu again: "What about Wenyu's son?" ”

Yang Wenyu put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled: "The dog is nine years old." Said with some regret: "Back then, my subordinates were in Jiangbei, and they were cheap in the middle capital, and it was difficult to get together all the year round, so it was a little delayed." ”

Qin Lei sighed in his heart: "Who are these people? There is a nine-year-old baby in his early thirties, and it is too late. When I asked again, I was shocked to find that except for these four who married and had children early, the rest had no children.

This is also nonsense, except for Shi Meng, there are no one left who is married.

Qin Lei said to Shi Wei, who had been silent all the time: "Among the four masters of your Shi family, you seem to be the oldest, why don't you take a good start, but let the fierce son take the lead?" ”

Hearing the prince say 'four masters', Shi Wei's heart twitched, at the beginning, he was the Shi family with Shi Yong, Shi Dang and Shi Meng were not counted. How can the governor change time, these two people have become one of the four heavenly kings of the government affairs temple, and they are the henchmen of the prince's henchmen. It's good to be good, open more than a dozen chain canteens, and become an authentic stone boss, in addition to being full of fat intestines, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from his original goal.

What was the original goal? Shi Wei thought hard, but listened to Shi Meng on the side and whispered: "Big brother......" Only then did he realize that he was distracted, and hurriedly confessed: "If you don't participate in this kind of meeting for a long time, your spirit is actually weak." ”

Qin Lei couldn't hear the sour plum powder in his words, and smiled quietly: "It's okay, I just asked you, why are you still not married when you're almost thirty?" ”

The corners of Shi Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile: "Thinking that the conditions will be better in two years, find a portal high." ”

Qin Lei smiled faintly: "There are ambitions." As he spoke, he turned his head to Shi Yong and asked with a smile, "Do you also want to wait to find a young lady?" ”

Shi Yong put down his rice bowl and said with a smile: "Miss Qianjin is like a canary, I can't wait, I just want to find a thick-legged and big stick with sharp hands and feet, so that I can have a son." ”

Le Buyi, who was drinking soup, turned his head and sprayed it overboard, turned around to confess, and smiled at Shi Yong: "Lord Shi, this is looking for a wife, not a recruit." ”

Shi Yong scratched his head with a smile and said, "That's what I think, wait for two years, I'll be less busy, and I'll take the time to do this." ”

At this time, even Guan Tao couldn't help it, and laughed: "The prince said: 'Shi Yong's advantages are step-by-step, and his disadvantages are also step-by-step. Today, the student realized that this is more true than real gold, and I can't imagine that you have even planned this thing. ”

Shi Yong smiled embarrassedly and lowered his head to pick up the rice.

Qin Lei glanced at Guan Tao, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about others, I see that there is such an unmarried style in our mansion, it is you, the chief representative of the older young man in the palace, who has tilted his head." ”

Guan Tao said with an innocent face: "How can it be a subordinate?" ”

Qin Lei smiled: "Why not you?" It's almost forty and I haven't had a mother-in-law ......" said and felt that it was wrong, and often Le Buyi, who suddenly quieted down on the other side and bowed his head to eat, said: "Are you old?" ”

Le Buyi didn't raise his head, pointed at Ma Ai with chopsticks, and said in a muffled voice: "He is one year older than me." ”

Ma Ai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm an old lame man with scars on his face, don't harm other people's little ladies, it's still the powder in the kiln." ”

Shi Mengwei laughed and said, "Isn't it necessarily a big girl, but also a little widow." ”

Ma Ai smiled and said: "Then let your brothers and sisters pay some attention, I don't want to spend that unjust money all the time." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, only then did they know that honest people are the most ridiculous when they tell jokes.

After laughing for a while, Qin Lei rubbed his stomach and whispered to Le Buyi, who was wiping his tears: "Does Mr. Le also spend money, or is there another magic method?" ”

Le Buyi rolled his eyes and replied in an inaudible voice: "The student is practicing Tongzigong. ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "But I can't laugh anymore, otherwise I won't even be able to eat." The crowd nodded their heads and ate with their heads down. Because there was a discussion in the afternoon, there was no alcohol for lunch, so everyone finished it in a short time.

Qin Lei wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "During the rest after dinner, everyone will go to the room first to make do with the fascinated stares, and then let the guards call you later." Everyone got up and said goodbye, and Qin Qi was about to leave, but he heard Qin Lei say, "Lord Qin stays." ”

Lord Qin naturally wanted to stay for a while, followed Qin Lei to the bamboo chair at the bow of the boat and sat down, Qin Wei served tea, and withdrew.

Even in early winter, as long as there is no wind, the daylight at noon is still warm, Qin Lei leaned back on the recliner and sighed comfortably, and then said softly: "The officialdom earthquake is inevitable. "Since the beginning of winter, the officials of Wen Yanbo's faction have been extremely rampant, although they don't say what they want to do, but people with a discerning eye can know at a glance that Prime Minister Wen is going crazy.

Qin Qi nodded, as the capital of the People's Affairs Department, he still felt that he still had this.

Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Originally, I thought that you would start from the capital and go to Siqing, Shilang, and Shangshu step by step, but now it seems that the situation is about to change." ”
