Chapter 210: Noble Glory

Today, the summer palace is very lively, because Xia Feng is completely renovating the palace, and by the way, the pattern of use has also been changed. While the attendants in the palace had not been driven away by themselves, they all went out, and while cleaning and tinkering, a lot of furniture was moved outside to bask in the sun.

When Su Ya walked into the summer palace, he was directly shocked by the large and small furniture on the square in front of the palace, and after confirming it repeatedly, he was sure that he had not come to the wrong place. Rowan asked Robert where Xia Feng was going, and Robert looked at the furniture and made a helpless gesture.

"Summer Breeze! Summer Breeze...... Summer Breeze!" Suya yelled angrily at the furniture.

On the sofa not far away, Xia Feng sat up silently, and the book covering his head fell, revealing his handsome face that was particularly sleepy.

Suya rushed over in three steps and two steps, and slapped him on the back of the head.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Feng yawned indifferently, looked around, and said in a hoarse voice: "Drying furniture, can't you see it?

Su Ya suddenly felt a sense of frustration when his fist hit the cotton, but he couldn't help but put on a stand as an elder brother and reprimanded: "If you want to dry in the back, what's going on in front of you?"

"The sun is so good in front!" Xia Feng is so innocent, "Besides, isn't it far behind, and it's not good to smash the flowers and plants again......"

"......" Suya rolled her eyes.

Luo Wen happened to come over with a glass of water and wanted to hand it to Xia Feng, but was robbed by Su Ya.

"Can I fall on his head?" asked Rowan solemnly.

"I'll help you get the bucket. "Lovan is a serious cooperation.

Xia Feng quickly sat up straight, patted the position next to him, and smiled flatteringly: "Second brother, sit down, sit down...... Hiss, where did you go? Hurry up and let people serve tea, more and more unruly...... Hehe, second brother, sit down!"

"Count you as acquaintances. Su Ya snorted proudly, "You can bend and stretch, young man, your future is limitless." ”

"Hahaha, thank you Your Highness for the compliment. Xia Feng smirked very really, took the white water handed over by Su Ya and drank it all.

Su Ya held her head and said with a smile: "I found that you didn't teach her the rules after you were with Mu Li, but you were deeply affected by her wanton behavior. ”

Xia Feng puffed out his cheeks and looked at the empty water cup in his hand, and wanted to find a table to put down but couldn't find it, so he had to return it to Luo Wen.

"Did you say, Lowen?"

"Ah, ah, just now Robert said that His Royal Highness is tossing like this because of Dongfang Muli. Luo Wen looked at Xia Feng with a meaningful smile, "I think what His Highness said is quite reasonable." ”

"Really, fake?" Suya's excitement was inexplicable.

"I'm scared of you, Zachary...... Your teacher is here, so please leave quickly. Xia Feng shouted at the buildings in the distance.

"Huh?" Zachary promised to peek out of a window on the third floor, wearing an apron, a dust-proof hat on his head, and a scarf around his face, looking like he was cleaning, "Oh, teacher, why don't you say anything when you come, I'll pick you up!

After a shout of excitement, almost everyone heard a loud crash coming from the house, which looked like they had fallen down the stairs.

"This idiot ......," Xia Feng complained in a low voice.

"I didn't say I wanted to take such students. Rowan looked disgusted, and then was forcibly pulled away by Heath, who came to deliver tea.

"Okay, don't disturb Your Highness and they are willing to ask you for advice, that is to give you face. ”

Su Ya watched the two of them leave noisily, and said, "If you want to form a guard, you should find professional people, not just randomly transfer two from other places." ”

"The Guards are far away, it's just that now there are more and more things, and I just need manpower. Xia Feng said, "Hiss was originally a member of the Praetorian Guard, and his father temporarily sent him to me, and he was detained by me because of his outstanding ability, and there is nothing professional or unprofessional. ”

"Then I'm looking for a teacher. ”

"Hey, I have to make this clear, they found it themselves, didn't I let them go, drink tea?"

Su Ya stared at the steaming cup in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "You are sick! The tea in the summer is still hot, and it is under the sun...... Damn, I was nervous with you, get up for me. ”

"Grace, grace!" Xia Feng took a leisurely sip of tea, "I can't stand it with such a little heat, we have to maintain the demeanor and ...... of royalty and nobles Hmmm......"

The voice was interrupted, the corners of his mouth were burned, the cup fell to the ground, Xia Feng was picked up by Su Ya without grace, stumbling around the furniture mountain and walking into the house, but immediately forced to withdraw by the chaotic scene inside, the two of them had to move to the prayer garden behind the summer palace, the front was really ...... It's so messy.

“...... The books and supplies in the bedroom and study on the third floor were moved to the second floor, and I decided to use the bedroom on the second floor. ”

"I told you not to live on the third floor, who is like you, tossing around. ”

"Wasn't I afraid of noise before, but now that the East is also there, there are more and more people, and the third floor is always inconvenient. ”

"Ahh......h Why am I being left behind?"

“...... It was a pure accident. ”

"No, this must be resolved as soon as possible...... I suddenly began to envy Theron and them, they could walk everywhere, and they must have been having sex all the time. ”

"My big brother and I ...... You haven't left Haina City yet, have you?"

"Should I consider going to the Demon Clan to study or something? The Queen Mother still told me about school in the morning...... In fact, God belongs to other countries, as long as he can leave Starmia......"

Xia Feng let Su Ya be there alone for endless whims, he really didn't bother him, and he didn't want to disturb him - he was so relaxed and happy when he was around, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he was even willing to do everything to protect such a smile.

And when Su Ya stood in the prayer garden and kept admiring, Xia Feng gave up the decision just now very unprincipledly, how idle he was today, and came here to talk nonsense with him.

"Brother, can we talk about business? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Can I come to see you?" Su Ya sat leisurely on the white rattan chair in the center of the grass, very comfortable, he didn't expect that he hadn't come these days, the prayer garden had been built so beautifully, he saw several precious flowers and plants, the hateful summer wind, where did he get the seeds?

"The last time you appeared in the summer palace was three months and twenty-two days ago, and I fainted...... It's obviously a guy who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. ”

Su Ya glared at Xia Feng with an ugly face: "Why are you not accurate to the second?"

"I'll do the math......"

Su Ya held his forehead, he knew that as long as Xia Feng made a decision, it would definitely be the rhythm of forcing others to death, and he shouldn't be stupid.

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding. ”

"It's going to come out right away. ”

"Originally, I wanted to discuss with you in the front Justice Hall, but who knew that you were tossing around in the palace and didn't even go to the morning meeting. ”

Getting straight to the point is the best way to address the current situation.

"What's going on?"

"There is no big thing, it's just ...... This year's national conscription is coming to an end, you know?"

"All citizens know. ”

"Don't you have any other ideas?"

"Tell me what you think. ”

"I'll ask first!"

"yes, so you say it first. ”

"......" Su Ya closed her eyes and stayed for a while, calming herself down, don't be led by the bad boy next to her.

Xia Feng hooked his lips and smiled, not in a hurry.

"This time, the national conscription is between 500,000 and 700,000, because it is wartime, in addition to the necessary reinforcement of troops in various regions, there are about 100,000 recruits who need to be led by new commanders, and there are 350,000 people in the capital area. ”

"So many?" Xia Feng asked casually.

"You don't know, because of the war, many people are coming to the capital area, and there are many dangerous elements who have come out to join in the fun, and I don't know who said that the father didn't care about this; ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Xia Feng coughed as if he was choked, "Elder Kay had good intentions, and wanted those nobles who were idle all day long to exercise themselves more, but I think most of them just want to mix in the army and let them train...... Hmph, maybe there's going to be some kind of mess!"

In the old days, joining the army and fighting was a privilege of the aristocracy, and it was the honor of young people to win glory for themselves and their families, and they were heroes of the empire! Commoners did not have this qualification, so they could only be a small soldier to make up the numbers, and as for slaves, they were tools to feed the enemy with swords. The current situation is the same, but civilians play an increasingly important role in the war, and countries have even set up a promotion mechanism such as 'martial arts competition' for this purpose, luring civilians to join the army with low-level officers, and giving civilians the illusion that they may be able to change their fate - this is not enough, then they can only catch strong men - their fate only stops there, low-level officers are already the limit of their rise, and the terrible thing is that civilians themselves are still very satisfied.

"Don't be so mean, okay? Su Ya glared at Xia Feng dissatisfied. "Even so, there are only a few of those aristocratic young people, and they can't set off any big waves. ”

"They are few in number, but they are not small. Xia Feng was completely hopeless. "Besides, the soldiers recruited in the capital region must not continue to stay in the capital district, can those nobles be willing?"

In fact, this is a rigid rule for civilians to join the army, and after the normal training of recruits, the soldiers in each region must be assigned to the army according to their needs, and all personnel must be dispersed and resettled in other places to prevent unnecessary military forces from gathering. The exception is because a large number of aliens have joined the regular army, and His Majesty is particularly gracious, but sooner or later it will have to be dismantled.

Because more and more commoners joined the army, this rule became universal, and the nobles had to abide by it. Of course, the royal family is happy to see this, and the entrenchment and growth of the local power of the nobility is the biggest threat to the rule of the royal family, but when it comes to the commoners, everyone has no opinion, anyway, everyone everywhere is the same to serve the nobility.

Commoners have no sense of resistance, it does not mean that the nobles will be free, they can become a noble class that has been passed down for several generations or even dozens of generations, not because of how smart they are, but because their family has hundreds of years of experience.
