Chapter 633: Cat Bao is pregnant
Recruitment order? Wen Ling also felt strange.
"Yes, it's a recruitment order." Rong Qing replied, "Du Zhong wants to recruit wise men, whether it is a forging person or a farmer, in short, he gives usury, which is much more generous than the laws of the Jin Kingdom. ”
For example, if the land of the Jin Kingdom is planted for one year, the harvest per mu of land will be handed over to 30%, so the order issued by Du Zhong only needs 10%, and the gap is huge.
If the autumn harvest is abundant, it is enough to hand over 30%, but if there is a little natural and man-made disaster, the 30% may not be full. Therefore, if you pay one percent, you will have a better chance of being fed and clothed.
However, the Jin State is different from the Daxing Wei State that Du Zhong has reproduced now.
Jin perennial war, handed over three percent is actually not much, all places belong to poor areas, often need disaster relief, although the people are not full, but also starve to death, the grain of the treasury, is also taken from the people for the people.
But Du Zhong is different, Du Zhong dares to make such a recruitment order, because now he only has one Beiyang City.
There are few cities and few people, plus Du Zhong originally had a lot of private pockets in the Jin Kingdom, and Shou Kang collected wealth for him in the Wei Palace, Du Zhong must have a lot of net worth, and these wealth are enough for him to lure for a short time, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward. But for the Jin State, it is not the case, the talents who can be recruited by Du Zhong, that for the Jin State, it is equivalent to the rebels, but their identity is actually just ordinary people, if the two sides go to war, Du Zhong uses them as a stepping stone, for Du Zhong, they are just dying for profit, but for the Jin State, it is the people who are forced to be helpless, desperate to go to Beiyang, but the Jin State will kill them inhumanely, and then the people will crusade, Gu Xun will also face two difficulties.
"Originally, in the Jin Kingdom, Du Zhong's reputation was outside, but now he did not hide it, but instead issued a notice to explain his life experience to win sympathy, but I am afraid that now people's hearts will be stupid." Rong Qing informed the matter.
Wen Ling nodded, "I think it's the same, but the middle of October is the imperial examination, and at this time he threw an olive branch, I think he is not only recruiting virtuous ministers, he will also dig up talented people." ”
"What Niangniang means is that he will poach talented people in the imperial examination." Rong Qingdao.
"It's just possible. Now Du Zhong's manpower is all over, although the harem is Qing Dynasty, but the previous dynasty still has a lot of manpower, if you want to clean it up, unless after the imperial examination, the son takes office, and it is possible to change the blood of the court. But at this time, Du Zhong will not waste his heart to install people in the Jin Kingdom, he will bring talents to his command. Wen Ling said.
"That's right." Rong Qing nodded, "But the emperor is ready to order, Du Zhong has been in the Jin State for many years, stealing treasury resources, and embezzling from them, and now he is not a legitimate Emperor of Wei, but a traitor, and the Jin State will mobilize troops to besiege Beiyang." ”
"Siege at the moment?" Wen Ling was a little hesitant, "Du Zhong's reputation was obtained in the Jin State, and his change from a powerful minister of the Jin State to the emperor of the Wei State is bound to have an impact, this matter has advantages and disadvantages, and it is not a completely bad thing for the Jin State." Even if Du Zhong really recruits people, we can also recruit people when we get Beiyang back in the future. ”
"Coming to Japan...... Listening to Niangniang's meaning, do you think it's better to be in a hurry to win Du Zhong now? Rong Qing said.
Du Zhong has prepared a strategy to win the hearts and minds of the people, and Kang Yi's remarks have been spread before, although the emperor has issued an edict to explain, but the people are still confused. I have a relationship with the emperor in front, but the people will not believe it, so Du Zhong is doing this now to establish his own image, and now his image is still intact, and the emperor insists on strangling, maybe he will end up with a flawed bad reputation. Wen Ling thought of one thing, "It's okay to reorganize the army against Du Zhong, but now is not a good time." ”
Rong Qing thought for a while, "Niangniang can be more clear." ”
Wen Ling pondered in his heart for a long time before he clearly informed Rong Qing of his thoughts.
In fact, it is just to turn the existing conditions into one's favor.
In the imperial study, the assistant minister also suggested to Gu Xun like this, "Your Majesty, now is not a good time to send troops to suppress Du Zhong. ”
"He murdered the first emperor, murdered the emperor's brother, embezzled bribes, and stole the treasury, isn't this bad deed enough to justify? Don't you want to give him time to grow? Gu Xun was very angry and couldn't wait to immediately send troops to besiege Beiyang.
"Your Majesty, but the people still don't believe in this." The Associate Minister said earnestly, "It is said that if the heavens want to destroy it, they must first inflate it. ”
"Swelling?" What Gu Xun can learn from a young age is not the righteousness of the country, nor is it a far-sighted policy, he grew up in the military camp, and only knows that once the enemy appears, he will destroy the other party.
As for waiting, he waited too long.
From the death of the first emperor to the death of Gu Rin, he waited for half a year, and now Du Zhong finally showed his tail, which was still so big, but the courtiers told him to wait a little longer.
"Then you say, how long will I have to wait?" Gu Xun was a little impatient.
"Naturally, when Du Zhong's statement is not as good as now, Du Zhong has issued such a recruitment order, and the people can't see that long-term, they will only think that Du Zhong is kind and humane. His Royal Highness doesn't understand, many righteous people like this one the most, once the emperor sends troops to encircle and suppress, those righteous people will make a fuss about it, and more people will take refuge in Du Zhong. "Minister Xieri and Wen Ling think the same.
"What does Lord Fu mean, when will it be?" Gu Xun asked.
"Wait for the right time." Associate Minister said.
Gu Xun's face sank.
It's not just Xieda who says this, but even several important military aircraft ministers who have it said.
But Gu Xun couldn't wait, he remembered what Wen Ling said, he is now the emperor, so Du Zhong is just a courtier, he wants to send troops to exterminate a traitor, is it difficult to take care of the people?
"I am determined to encircle and suppress Eucommia, without further ado. Immediately sent Huo Wei to reorganize the army, cooperate with Huo Qing, and the father and son led 30,000 blood servants to go in person. "Where can Gu Xun wait, he can't wait to arrest Du Zhong right now at this moment.
Seeing Gu Xun like this, several ministers repeatedly admonished, but Gu Xun was unwilling to compromise because of anger.
Just when the ministers were powerless to persuade, Rong Qing brought Wen Ling's news, and Gu Xun calmed down a little.
"You're saying the queen thinks it's wrong now?"
The most important ministers were astonished.
They didn't know for a long time that the queen would participate in political affairs, and the emperor was willing to listen to the queen.
"Niangniang thinks that now is indeed not the time, but we can create the opportunity, what the emperor has always wanted to do, we can take advantage of this opportunity." Rong Qing brought the meaning of Wen Ling to.
Several ministers looked at each other, a little puzzled, "What does the imperial lady mean by this?" ”
Rong Qing opened his mouth and said, "A few days ago, the folk Gu masters gathered and developed a lot of Gu people, but no one reported it, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was Du Zhong's ghost, maybe he wanted to use this excuse to damage the emperor's reputation again, we might as well strike first." ”
"Preemptive?" Several ministers still didn't understand, "Niangniang is thinking, let's spread the news first and destroy Du Zhong's reputation?" ”
But now that Du Zhong has taken shape, and he is the best at this method, he is afraid that they will preemptively attack Du Zhong's way.
"What Niangniang said is that if you put yourself to death and live later, Du Zhong would never have imagined that we would use such a method." Rong Qing opened his mouth and said, "Although the soldiers are dangerous, only in this way can we reduce Du Zhong's defense, and take this opportunity to solve a major problem in the Jin Kingdom." ”
There was a heated discussion in the imperial study about what Wen Ling said.
But after Wen Ling said it himself, he was relaxed, changed his riding clothes and prepared to go to the teaching field to find Mao Bao.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen Maobao for half a year, and Wen Ling almost forgot that he still had it.
Before he arrived at the teaching ground, Wen Ling heard a low tiger roar.
"This voice, it sounds like Maobao is having a pretty good time these days." Wen Ling said with a smile.
Cat Bao will only make such a sound when he is happy.
The trainer who had been training the two tigers in the teaching field was also very surprised by Wen Ling's arrival.
Since Gu Xun returned to Mocheng, pretending to be Gu Rin's identity, on the day of the wedding, the trainer actually went to find Wen Ling.
Because of the arrival of Mao Bao, there are two tigers in the teaching field.
Originally, they were locked together, but after Mao Bao began to estrus, the trainer separated them, the reason is because it is a white-fronted tiger during the day, Mao Bao is a yellow-skinned tiger, although the two tigers are a male and a female, but the breeds are different, plus although Gu Xun raised it during the day, but it was Gu Rin's at the beginning, even if the two tigers want to be mated, they have to be promised by the master, so the trainer separated the two tigers.
At first, the two tigers were very restless when they were separated, but the trainer never dared to put them together.
In addition, the court was very busy at that time, and the guards who docked reminded them that there was no additional command from the master for such a thing, where too much attention was needed, and what should be done, the two tigers were just beasts in the end, where could they bother the master to bother to think, could they compare to national affairs?
So the trainer also kept the two tigers apart.
Originally, it has been so peaceful, to be honest, the two tigers are not young, generally the tiger will begin to spring at the age of three, and will also give birth to children, not to mention during the day, how is it also an upright prime, and Mao Bao has already passed the juvenile period. So the two tigers were very anxious, but the trainer separated the two tigers and used the partition, for two years, the two tigers failed to break through the boundary, which is also a coincidence, on the day of Wen Ling and Gu Xun's wedding, the trainer got up early in the morning and found that the partition was broken, and the two tigers were greasy and crookedly entangled together. This was unbelievable, and hurriedly sent someone to tell Gu Xun and Wen Ling, but the wedding was busy, at that time, Yu Wenhao came to the Jin Kingdom again, and the palace was busy, where was the matter of the two tigers so bothersome, and the messenger said a perfunctory sentence, and then forgot to mention it.
It was because Wen Ling remembered today that when he came to the church to see Mao Bao, he was surprised, "Mao Bao has gained weight!" ”
The trainer on the side was a little embarrassed and said, "Niangniang, this cat treasure is not fat, it is pregnant." ”
Wen Ling was stunned, "...... Bosom...... Pregnant? ”
"Yes, I found it last month, and the two tigers have a partition between them, but they can jump over every day during the day. The subordinates also thought about moving a place for them, but except for the mother and the emperor, these two tigers didn't listen to anyone, they couldn't move away, and they couldn't be hurt, so they let it be. The trainer replied.
Wen Ling's eyes widened.
She's a good girl, and Cat Bao is pregnant.
