Lin Haotian looked up and thought about it, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you want this commander to help you, and how long is the time?"

Song Hao hurriedly said: "As long as the Second and Third Legions of your country are stationed in Anqiu, the capital and Zhengzhong County can be defended by ourselves." ”

Lin Haotian was happy and said: "The general is so angry, as soon as he opens his mouth, he wants to command the two main army corps? Two army corps, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, have to eat and drink every day, how much food and salary do you have to consume in our country?"

Song Hao is not a fool, Lin Hao is willing to help build the country, naturally he will not want the newly established New Red Kingdom to be finished, it is necessary to leave a garrison, to put it simply, he just wants benefits, he hurriedly said: "The food and salary of the Jin Jun brothers can be taken care of by our country." ”

"En!" Lin Haotian responded: "Since we are sending troops to aid your country, it is only natural that your country should pay for food and salary. However, at present, your country only has five counties, and it is really difficult to cope with the fact that you have to be responsible for the food and salaries of more than 200,000 soldiers of our army and the supply of more and more central troops!

Lin Haotian and Shao Yu had a one-by-one dialogue, Song Hao was completely empty on the side, and he didn't listen to what the two were talking about, and suddenly heard Lin Haotian ask himself, his body was shocked, and he subconsciously said: "Don't object, don't object, brother, everything is based on General Lin." ”

Seeing this, the golden generals lowered their heads and smiled secretly, while the red ministers looked at each other and shook their heads again and again.

The Jin State has installed the left and right prime ministers, which is equivalent to controlling its own military and political power, and now it is good, even the finances have to be controlled, and now the domestic court has completely become a puppet court.

However, even the monarch Song Hao nodded in agreement, what can others say? People can't do anything but lament in their hearts.

Let the five counties of Chibei become their own bag. Allowing the army of the Jin State to be stationed in the Red Kingdom justifiably was the greatest gain of the Jin State in this Jin-Chi War, and it was also the second major expansion since the Jin State annexed the eight counties of Mubei.

In this war, the Red Kingdom suffered heavy losses, not only losing a large number of soldiers, but also losing the land of the five counties. In addition, the Chi'an coalition invaded the country of Mu, and the countries ignored it, so that the country could only be forced to take refuge on the side of the country, and after the end of the war, the former alliance of gold and red ceased to exist, and was replaced by the alliance of gold and wood.

Of course, in this alliance, the Jin State occupies an absolute dominant position.

The matter of the new red country has come to an end for the time being. After finishing this series of things, Lin Haotian officially began to set off to return to Jinguo.

Lin Haotian also left with the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Legions of the Jin Kingdom.

After this war, the losses of the four armies were very serious, and when they were combined, there were only more than 200,000 troops. Fortunately, for Jinguo, the war is over, and the Fourth Army can rest and recover after returning home.

A month later, Wancheng.

Lin Haotian led the Jin army to return triumphantly. Naturally, he was welcomed by the people of the Jin Kingdom in the capital, but in fact, it was for Lin Haotian. This war was not a victory, and the Jin State failed to annex the Red Kingdom in one go, but for the other Jin people, this battle was already a complete victory, and the successful separation of the Red Kingdom into five counties greatly weakened the national strength of the Red Kingdom. Moreover, with these five counties as a buffer, it is difficult for the Red Kingdom to hit the Jin Country proper.

At present, there are gradually two voices in the country of Jin for Lin Haotian, the commander of the army, one is absolute support, believing that Lin Haotian is the hero who revitalized and rises the country, while the other voice is opposed. It is believed that Lin Haotian is reckless and fighting everywhere, which has led to a sharp decline in the young and strong population of the Jin country, and now there are far more adult women than adult men in the counties and counties of the Jin country.

After seeing the ministers of the DPRK and China who came to greet him, Lin Haotian sat in a semi-open carriage and returned to the general's mansion.

It stands to reason that the first thing Lin Haotian should do when he returns to the capital is to go to the palace to meet the king and tell him about the battle situation and results of the Jin-Chi War. However, he didn't pay attention to these at all, and rushed home non-stop after entering Wancheng.

Now, not only Zhao Yu was waiting for him in the main hall of the palace, but even the ministers of the imperial court were also present, all of them were absent, waiting for him alone.

After listening to the guard's report, Lin Haotian smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry! Ben Shuai is too tired, I want to rest for a while, let them continue to wait!"

Lin Haotian was too lazy to go to the palace, tiredness was only one aspect, but it was true that he was uncomfortable now.

The wounds on his body were all scarred, but they were extremely itchy, and there was no special medicine to relieve itching, which made him upset. It's a pity that he didn't have time to rest, so Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian had already come to the door.

Lin Haotian and the two went to the study, and after sitting down, he yawned and asked, "I said two adults, is the matter really urgent that it has to be dealt with today, and it can't be changed to tomorrow?"

When Peng Qian heard this, he took a step back 'cunningly' and replied: "My lord, the affairs of the lower officials are not in a hurry, but Brother Chu seems to be in a hurry, and the lower officials are here through the light of Brother Chu." ”

Lin Haotian smiled, raised his head and said, "Okay, let's talk about you first!"

Peng Qian handed over a volume of the newspaper to Lin Haotian and said, "My lord, this is the legal reform proposed by the lower officials. ”

Lin Haotian took it curiously, took a look, and muttered: "Three checks and three trials?"

"Yes, my lord, as our country continues to fight, the population is withering more and more, which makes the subordinate understand a truth, no matter what time it is, people are the most useful. Peng Qian said: "Every year, there are no less than 10,000 cases involving the death penalty in our country, and more than 100 cases involving the extermination of the nine ethnic groups. ”

"What does Master Peng mean that after the case is investigated, the process of the investigation will be reviewed, and then the review and review will be done, and finally the re-investigation and retrial will be done?" Chu Lianyu asked with raised eyebrows.

Peng Qian nodded and said, "Although there are still discrepancies, that's roughly the case." ”

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to speak, Chu Lianyu shook his head first and asked rhetorically: "How much manpower does this three-check and three-trial system cost, and how long does it take to delay?"

Peng Qian said with a straight face: "No matter how much manpower is spent on death penalty cases and cases of exterminating the nine clans, it is worth it, once a person dies, he will not be resurrected, and when it comes to human life, how can it be a child's play? As for the delay time, this is exactly what I want, the longer the delay, the more likely it is to discover new clues and new suspicious points, thus overturning the conclusion of the entire case." We should not enforce the decree with the mentality of executing the prisoner as soon as possible, but with the mentality of saving one or more lives as much as possible. ”

Chu Lianyu blinked, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "In troubled times, you should use heavy codes!" Brother Peng's suggestion, I can't understand it, and I can't agree with it. ”

According to Peng Qian's theory, it is tantamount to exonerating death row prisoners, and will this condone people's misconduct and lawlessness? This kind of thing cannot be concluded even in modern times.

He pondered for a long time and asked, "Is there really a serious problem with the population of our country?"

Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian's attitudes towards this point were the same, and the two nodded in unison, and said in unison: "Yes, my lord!"

There is always a price to pay for wasting resources, and Lin Haotian, as the commander of the Jin army, wasted the resources he wasted in the Jin country is manpower.

Although the long-term war plundered a lot of wealth and vast land for the Jin country, it also caused the young and strong population of the Jin country to decline sharply, and now, the price has finally come to the door, and the discontent has gradually begun to prevail.

Lin Haotian looked at Peng Qian, then at Chu Lianyu, and asked, "How serious is it?"

Peng Qian frowned and said in a low voice: "There are no young men in the villages of some counties and counties, they are all women, children or old people who are farming. ”

Lin Haotian muttered: "There is such a situation, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Peng Qian said: "I didn't find it before, but I only noticed it when I did a household registration check recently. In addition, there are gradually dissatisfaction with adults among the people, believing that if they continue to fight abroad, they will ......"

"What will happen?"

"Yes...... It will lead to the destruction of the country!" Peng Qian lowered his head and said stubbornly. (To be continued......)
