At this time, at the border pass, the moon was rising, the cold wind blew the corners of the tent and rolled, Zhang Liangchen sat on the earthen pit, blowing sheep's horns against the night sky.

The sound of the horn is desolate, bleak, and turbid, as if the rushing river suddenly entered the sea, accompanied by the sound of the wind, more like a weathered old man.

Yeluqi walked over and sat down beside Zhang Liangchen. The dirt pit couldn't bear the weight of two people, and it suddenly sank in.

Zhang Liangchen bulldozed the soil and continued to sit down.

"General Zhang has something on his mind." Jerezi smiled childishly.

It seemed that no matter what happened, he could laugh so heartlessly.

"I just miss my deceased wife and my daughter." Zhang Liangchen smiled faintly, looking lazy. For the Beidi people, Zhang Liangchen has a natural hostility and prejudice.

Yeluqi tore a blade of grass and put it in his mouth and blew it. It's really amazing, and it can blow the rhythm of ups and downs.

Zhang Liangchen was stunned, turned his head and glanced at Yeluqi: "Can you Beidi people play music with any leaf?" ”

"Prizes. Our Beidi people take the grassland as their home, take the horse as a tool, and have no fixed residence, so how can they be like you Central Plains people, who still play the piano and drum when you want to listen to music. We don't, but it's fun for us to do it. Jeruqi blew up, and the music flowed slowly, very pleasantly.

Zhang Liangchen listened quietly for a while, his smile was lighter like the moonlight, the moonlight on his beard was like a little broken silver, and he was handsome, "Not bad." ”

"Your daughter is married well." Yeluqi pushed Zhang Liangchen's hand with his elbow.

Zhang Liangchen nodded: "I am still very satisfied with my son-in-law." ”

"You also need your daughter to be excellent, so that you can find a good son-in-law."

"That's it." Someone praised his daughter, Zhang Liangchen was happy, his daughter was the most proud of his life.

"Do you have a daughter too?" Zhang Liangchen began to care about Yeluqi.

Yeluqi shook his head, folded his hands behind his head, and lay down: "No, I have a son. It should have been five months now. ”

"You're getting married late." Zhang Liangchen said with a smile: "My daughters are married, but your son is still a baby." ”

"If it weren't for being wanted, I wouldn't want to get married. How free a person is. ”

"You're free." Zhang Liangchen sighed, "But I'm afraid of being alone now." ”

"How happy a person is. You can go wherever you want, without any ties. ”

"But when I'm alone, I think of many, many people who left, and then I feel like I'm dead, so I don't like to be alone."

"Your life isn't too heavy, is it?" Yeluqi suddenly became curious about Zhang Liangchen, "But you have lived alone for so many years." You're a man, don't you need to solve that need? ”

"What do you think?" Zhang Liangchen patted Yeluqi on the shoulder, and suddenly felt very ridiculous, how could he talk so much to a Beidi person? "Are you Beidi people so open-minded?"

"You're referring to the one I just said about men's needs, which is called openness? It seems that you Central Plains people are too restrained, I think, it's good that this kind of thing can make you happy, why do you want this etiquette if you are not happy? Yeluqi cocked Erlang's legs, and shook his legs, which looked very comfortable.

Although Zhang Liangchen disdains Yeluqi, he is still very envious when he sees that he can still live so comfortably regardless of etiquette.

The two men actually developed a friendship at the border. And it's so subtle.

Palace.

In the first month, when Lin Ce was in power, some ministers reported that the people's unrest had decreased a lot in the past two years, many bandits were doing business in good terms, the country was peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Lin Ce was very happy: "It shows that my governance is no problem." ”

However, Zhou Yuheng pointed out that the reason why there are fewer commotions and fewer bandits is not because governing the country is better than in the past, but because, after a long period of war, the population cannot keep up, and the labor force has become smaller.

Lin Ce disagreed, but Zhou Yuheng insisted that the top priority was to increase the fertility rate. Lin Ce couldn't tell right from wrong, so he came to ask Lin Zhongchao.

Zhou Zheng and Lin Zhongchao are drinking tea under the peach blossom tree, butterflies are flying, and spring is bright.

Lin Ce came over, and Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Ce'er, come over and let me touch it, but you have been working state affairs recently, why have you lost weight?" ”

Lin Ce went over and was coquettish in his mother's arms. then talked about the dispute with Zhou Yuheng.

Lin Zhongchao said: "Ce'er, why did you quarrel with your uncle again?" ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Ce Er and Yu Heng often have different opinions for national affairs, and they can be reconciled every time they fight, in fact, every time they argue about countermeasures, it is a kind of progress." ”

Lin Ce said: "Yes, I never blame my uncle, my uncle is brave and loyal, how can I not know." We're just talking about things. ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "I'm relieved to do this. But in response to your question, I think what Yu Heng said makes sense. ”

"But father, how can this person be multiplied all at once?" Lin Ce did not implement any policy of reducing births.

Lin Zhongchao said: "Then encourage more children." Only when the next generation is relatively abundant can a country maintain a steady stream of youthful vitality. ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Policies can be formulated, and those who give birth to more than three commoners can be exempted from taxes, and even rewarded with silver." ”

Lin Zhongchao nodded: "Not only do nobles need to have a few more children, but commoners need it even more." Because we need more soldiers and low-level laborers than leaders. And this part is all from civilians. ”

Lin Ce suddenly realized, and when he went back, he began to draft policies.

Bai Weiwei came over to coquettishly: "Your Majesty, why don't you sleep so late." What's important about those? Is it more important than accompanying a concubine? ”

Lin Ce was angry: "I am the emperor, of course these are important!" ”

Bai Weiwei had never seen Lin Ce get so angry, and turned her back aggrievedly.

If it was in normal times, Lin Ce would have comforted her a long time ago. But Lin Ce racked his brains and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

Bai Weiwei was angry, "Your Majesty, it is said that women don't love men when they give birth to children, and you are really like this!" ”

Lin Ce was also angry: "I'm very busy, don't disturb me, go out!" ”

"Your Majesty, you really start to dislike me!" Bai Weiwei's crying made Lin Ce even more upset, and Lin Ce called the eunuch to pull Bai Weiwei away.

"Your Majesty, how can you treat your concubines like this?" Bai Weiwei cried and was pulled away.

Zhou Enoch passed by and saw that Lin Ce was still busy so late, so he came over to take a look.

Lin Ce was upset, and when he heard the footsteps, he thought that Bai Weiwei was coming again, so he was angry and scolded without raising his head: "Didn't you let you go back?" What are you doing here? ”
