Chapter 161: Expanding the Territory
However, Yun Zhanxian still had something to say: "My lady still wants to thank Miss." Therefore, this matter of recruiting female guards, please rest assured, Miss will be able to complete it successfully. ”
"However, what His Royal Highness King Qin said about recruiting the soldiers of our Golden Eagle Clan. It would have been a great thing. The men of our Golden Eagle clan were originally known for their courage and good fighting. Everyone has good kung fu, and everyone has a lot of strength. On weekdays, just hunting and farming between the poor mountains and bad waters is also buried. To have a way out, to be a soldier and get paid is also a good thing to help make up for the family. ”
"Besides, following others, we are afraid that people will see us as a hundred people and bully us. Following His Royal Highness King Qin, we are very relieved. However, His Royal Highness King Qin is going to leave 10,000 people at once, I'm afraid it won't work. Our Golden Eagle Clan in Cloud City has a total of only four or five hundred thousand people, and there are less than 100,000 young and strong people, and these people have good martial arts, and only 20,000 or 30,000 people are in good health. If these two or thirty thousand people go out at once, how can the rest of them maintain our fiefdom? ”
Qin Mingyue thought about it, this is indeed the truth. Yun Zhanxian didn't tell them a lie, this is all a real truth. Xiao Rui was not in a hurry at all: "Master Yun, I know that it is a bit too much for me to go 10,000 strong. However, have you thought about it, how many families of your Golden Eagle Clan can bring income to this ten thousand strong people? We don't discount the salaries we give. If you have money in the village, can't you have a baby? In less than ten years, the number of your Golden Eagle clan will increase dramatically. By the way, I haven't told you yet. I intend to have my soldiers go home once a year, for two months each, and that's the added journey. The salaries were paid for the two months. ”
"The man sent troops to release horses, made money, went home to visit relatives, and when he left, it is estimated that all the wives in the family can be pregnant. One a year, anyway, I can afford it, what are you afraid of? ”
Qin Mingyue blushed a little as she listened from the sidelines. What is this Xiao Rui talking about? Is this what a prince said?
However, such words really touched Yun Zhanxian's heart. Yun Zhanxian hadn't read any books, and he didn't understand what he told him about dropping his bookbag, talking about national righteousness, and the rise and fall of the country. However, when such a crude truth was told to him, he understood it at once.
Yun Zhanxian couldn't help but think.
Xiao Rui continued: "Of course, if you send troops and release horses, there will be casualties. However, our pension is high. You also saw Mingyue being assassinated in your Cloud City before, and when your Yun family sent troops, there were casualties, how did Mingyue take care of it. Of course, the normal killing of the enemy for the country naturally does not have such a high pension, but I assure you, we will give you fifty taels of silver for the dead, twenty taels of silver for the seriously injured, and we will take care of the minor injuries. What do you think? ”
At this moment, Yun Zhanxian became even more excited. You must know that over the years, there have been various disasters in the Great Zhou. For example, in last year's flood in Jiangnan, there were many victims in Jiangnan, not to mention 20 taels or 50 taels, and a young and strong laborer only needed 3 taels of silver. A young girl is only four or five taels of silver. The fifty taels of silver, a man could buy ten.
Even in Ba Province, buying a slave is only ten taels or eight taels of silver. Where have you seen a man with fifty taels of silver? Yun Zhanxian is even more excited.
At this time, Xiao Rui said: "When I come back from the capital, it will be time for us to send troops to the Shui family together." At that time, he may have to face the soldiers and horses of the big merchants. However, your family only contributed 5,000 people. Most of the men were soldiers and horses of the imperial court. However, the Shui family chassis you got really gave you the Yun family's big head. ”
"Is it just to receive the chassis? The people of the Shui family, the people of the Yin Snake Clan, you will kill them all? Impossible. As far as I know, although your Golden Eagle Clan and the Yin Snake Clan have always been at odds, it can even be said that they have to make trouble with each other a few times a year. However, because for hundreds of years, it has been on the edge of the ground. Therefore, the two of you intermarry the most. There are many good men in your Yun family, and there are many daughters of various ethnic groups who want to marry you. However, the daughters of your Golden Eagle Clan and the Yun family are a little worried about marrying. In addition to marrying into your own family and clan, many of your girls are married to the nearby Shui family's territory. ”
"The Shui family likes to marry you Yun family, the woman of the Golden Eagle Clan. Because the women of your Golden Eagle clan are in good health, can do martial arts, and can work, they are especially suitable for living in a semi-plateau area like the Shui family. When an ordinary woman arrives there, let alone work, life is difficult. Therefore, it can be said that the territory of the Shui family has already been mixed with the blood of your Golden Eagle Clan. Take it back, and you will become your people at once. Ordinary people of the Yin Snake Clan, you don't dare to use it yet, but those children born to women of the Golden Eagle Clan, don't you be able to use them boldly and confidently? ”
"In this way, where can you be less young and strong?"
"The population is large, the territory is large, and the output in the territory is more, and the children who send troops and horses have brought more silver, so you can't afford to live hard? Are you afraid that there will be fewer people? ”
This moment completely impressed Yun Zhan. Yun Feiyang looked at Xiao Rui with admiration. This righteous brother is really a good steel mouth. This eloquence is too powerful.
Yun Zhanxian gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin, it is our honor that you can afford to look down on the men of our Golden Eagle Clan. Men are ambitious, and staying at home is really not a thing. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, when the matter of the Shui family is over, I will definitely ask Feiyang to personally take me 10,000 heroes of the Golden Eagle Clan to go on the expedition with His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Life or death. We, the Golden Eagle Clan, have been loyal to His Royal Highness King Qin for generations. ”
After Yun Zhanxian finished speaking, he knelt on one knee and gave Xiao Rui a big salute.
Xiao Rui didn't help him up immediately, and only after he saluted did he personally help him up and said, "Master Yun, you are my brother-in-law's father." Ethics, I should call you Abel or Daddy. But here's who I am. The righteous brother can be called, but this elder does not dare to call him indiscriminately. Therefore, you can only be called the master of the Yun family. However, this heart, I am still here with the Yun family master. The Yun family master will not make such a big gift in the future. In the future, the brothers of the Golden Eagle Clan will also be my brothers of Xiao Rui. ”
Yun Zhanxian and Yun Feiyang are both overjoyed.
Qin Mingyue looked at this scene and kept smiling faintly. However, there were turbulent waves in her heart.
Xiao Rui is also very different from his previous life. In his previous life, Xiao Rui regarded power as dung, let alone wooing people, even if others took refuge in him, he was annoyed. He didn't pursue anything other than martial arts. But now, Xiao Rui is very attentive in all aspects. Qin Mingyue didn't feel bad at all when she saw Xiao Rui like this, but felt that this was the real responsible hero. This is the son of the royal family.
