I remember that when the relationship between Sister Qingxia's concubines was clarified, when my son talked to Sister Yaoguang, he was very frightened, for fear that something would happen to these two girls who were very strong in force. At that time, the first time Sister Yaoguang heard the news, she grabbed my collar and said very viciously: "Brother Wuji, don't forget that I am your wife." Otherwise, I will never forgive you in my life, do you know the truth? ”

When I heard this, I almost burst into tears, and I almost wanted to jump into the street and carry the red flag and shout: It is better to be feudal socialism.

When I asked, I learned that Yaoguang girl hoped to lead the army to fight on the battlefield in the future, kill the generals and capture the flag, thinking that it was her long-cherished wish to be flat, but now that she wants to be my wife, she can't be by my side for a long time, she naturally hopes to have a familiar woman who can take care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation, and can be regarded as fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife.

And Sister Qingxia is gentle and gentle, and she knows my feelings for Sister Yaoguang very well, so with Qingxia by my side, she can also do her own thing with confidence.

Hearing this explanation of Yaoguang's sister, my son could only smile bitterly, it seems that I can't completely stop this girl's ambition to make a contribution, but it's okay, this son will definitely let her get her wish, but it is impossible for my mother-in-law to stay in the army all the time.

As long as I marry her into the family, when the time comes, let her understand the deep love and care of my son, and let her stay by my side with my enthusiasm and gentleness, more than staying in the army.

"Lord, now, General Wei has won a great victory and obtained the land west of the river, so that the territory under our control can have more than a few counties, which is really good news." Li Jing said with a look of fascination, at present, this guy is serving in the General Staff as a senior staff officer.

Li Jing is still very satisfied with this position, at least at the beginning of his tenure, Ben Gongzi told him, let him understand the importance and necessity of the General Staff, this guy is very conscientious, and his military talent and strategic vision are very praised and affirmed by his colleagues and superiors.

I believe that his experience in the General Staff Department will definitely enable him to understand the role of this important function of the staff officer, and in the future, when Ben Gongzi carries out in-depth military reform, he will be able to gain more support.

Fang Xuanling cleared his throat, picked up the things summarized from the household registration code from Wei Yunqi and read: "According to the information sent back by General Wei, General Wei has now taken possession of the four counties of Hexi, and there are four counties and fourteen counties in Hexi. Today, there are more than 112,730 households with a population of 521,798. The original land was more than 9,837,640 acres of land, mostly dry land, and few paddy fields, and in the past few years, after the war, many fields were barren, and now there are only 5,729,630 acres of land cultivated by the people, in addition, the family gate valve, etc., a total of more than 1,754,966 acres of land......

"The treasury of Hexi Prefecture has a total of 2.93 million yuan of money and silk, and more than 1.8376 60 stone of grain reserves...... At the time of last year, the total tax in Hexi was 1.87 million guan, and the grain was 1.32 million stones, and this year, although there was a fierce war in Hexi, fortunately, Xue Ju was not a plunderer, but wanted to capture Hexi, so except for a small amount of land and a lot of city damage, there was no big loss in other aspects. This year, according to the lord's grain collection method of one bucket per mu, then the number of fields that can be expropriated is about 7.25 million mu, and more than 725,000 stones of grain can be obtained. ”

Reading this, Fang Xuanling let out a long breath, bowed to everyone and sat back in his place

"I can't imagine that the land west of the river has become so barren in just a few years, and the population has decreased by nearly 170,000." Du Ruhui couldn't help but sigh and said.

Qu Tutong nodded in agreement and said: "No way, the world is in chaos, the smoke is everywhere, and the people can only be displaced and flee to other places to find a way to live, but it's so good, originally in the Longyou area, there were tens of thousands of displaced people who fled from Hexi, and now, we have occupied Hexi, and they can also go home." ”

"More than 725,000 stones?" Ben Gongzi touched his chin and estimated the number for a long time, and then said: "In this way, the land of Hexi, after the disaster of war, the withering of all industries, the life of the people must be difficult, let's wait first, give the land of Hexi, a five-year tax exemption period, whether it is to go to the land of Hexi to do business or open a factory, or the people of the counties of Hexi are exempted from taxes." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Five years of taxes are all exempted, this is definitely not a small amount, if the land of Hexi is restored to the old view, the taxes of the four counties will definitely not be less, and now, this son is going to be exempted from taxes for five years, which is really a bit too much.

Fang Xuanling's expression instantly changed to the appearance of a wronged little daughter-in-law, and she looked at me with a blank look and said, "Lord, is this too much?" ”

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and stood on my side. Weichen thought that the lord's words were very good. The land west of the river is newly occupied, the people have not yet returned to their hearts, and the people are very bitter in the successive wars, if they can give favors, they should be able to win the hearts of the people of Hexi, so that they are willing to join the ......."

Seeing that Ben Gongzi looked quite agreeing with Wei Zheng's words, Fang Xuanling said urgently. "Although Guanzhong is rich, but we not only need to manage people's livelihood, but also need to build a variety of infrastructure, which are all costly, food and cloth, not to mention that the land of Hexi is located in the northwest of Guanzhong, the mountains are steep, if you want to connect the cement straight road like Guanzhong, you have to make great efforts, and its cost and labor are at least at least twice as much as the cement straight road built in Guanzhong."

"What's more, the land of Hexi has been in war for a long time, all industries have been ruined, and many people have died, all of which need to be comforted by the court.

Fang Xuanling's words were agreed by most of the people present, tax exemption is possible, but it will take too long and it will indeed affect the economy of the territory under the jurisdiction of this son.

"Well, according to what Fang Shangshu said, do you have anything to add?" I nodded, and after agreeing with Fang Xuanling's opinion, I raised my eyes and swept everyone present. "Since there is none, then Ben Gongzi will announce, first, the land of Hexi has withered due to the war, and the people have been displaced, so the special tax exemption for two years ......"

With my voice, the secretary next to me quickly recorded the words of this son, so that they could be executed later in printed paper.

"Lord, the land west of the river is all in my hands, which is really gratifying, but there is still the Xue family watching from the side, so you must not be careless." As soon as this matter was over, Li Jing stood up and said.

Qu Tutong stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "What the pharmacist said is true, Xue Ju is brave and good at fighting, his troops have many foreign races to help, and the cavalry is very numerous, and now Xue Ju has withdrawn from the competition for Hexi due to illness, but don't forget, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Western Qin are still there, Xue Rengao is far from his father no matter what he does, but with these more than 200,000 Western Qin elites, we must not underestimate the enemy, and now with the determination of Hexi, people's hearts have not yet been stable......

He looked at Li Jing's eyes full of approval, it seems that he appreciates Li Jing's sober and calm mind, think about it, the future Tang Dynasty military god, how can he mix in this era without two brushes?

I nodded, stood up, and said solemnly: "The two of you are reasonable, next, I announce that Wei Yunqi will be removed from the position of acting lieutenant general and promoted Wei Yunqi to the rank of lieutenant general, in addition, in the Hexi Reconquest War, the Seventh Army, which has repeatedly made military exploits and has the first record ...... the battle."

Hearing the news, many generals sitting in the conference hall couldn't help but show envy and jealousy, at present, in addition to the Tiger Prison Army, the Praetorian Guard, and the Hexi Army, the other army numbers are currently numbers, this kind of army with a local name belongs to the special army, and the army with the number title can only be used as a first-class army, and there is a new army in front of the name, which is completely the army that has just been recruited and reorganized from the reserve and has not yet experienced the war.

For example, the special army has a heavy artillery regiment and a demolition battalion, while the first type army has only one heavy artillery battalion. Compared with cold weapons, heavy long-range firearms such as catapults and ballistas are definitely the most formidable weapons of mass destruction in this era.

As for the new army, it is completely the old weapons and armor left over from the Sui Dynasty, but even if it is these old equipment, it is definitely not bad, think about the countries around China today, not to mention the iron armor, even the leather armor is very small.

My uncle once wrote to me that in those southern barbarian countries south of Cochin, many soldiers were still wooden, not to mention armor, and even weapons, that is, a long bamboo pole or a wooden pole sharpened the tip to become a spear.

This makes people really speechless, in addition, compared with the soldiers and horses of the heroes of the world, the Chinese Revival Army under the command of this prince is definitely ahead of the princes of the world in terms of equipment alone, and it is also far superior to any country and military group in this era in terms of training.

Even if it is a newly formed army, or even a reserve force, its investment in combat skills training will not be much worse than that of the regular army of the world's heroes.

And now. After hearing that the Hexi Army became a special army, it made the other generals jealous and jealous, seeing these guys with such expressions, Ben Gongzi was secretly happy, there is competition to make progress, their performance shows that Ben Gongzi is right.
