Chapter 8 Allegiance, Come
"Your body has not fully recovered, are there any other arrangements for you to see me in a hurry?" Yan Qingjun, who sat down again, took a sip of the teacup in front of him and asked softly.
Qin Zhao didn't say much nonsense, looked at Yan Qingjun with a solemn expression, and finally said the main purpose of coming today: "I want to ask General Yan, how do you view the situation today?" ”
"Huh?" The woman in white was slightly puzzled, wondering why he asked this, and secretly pondered his intentions.
After pondering for a moment, she did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically, "Please give advice to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Qin Zhao did not hesitate, stood up, paced in the room with his hands behind his back, and said in a mansheng voice:
"Although the human race is unified now, the hearts of the people in the world are not aligned, the nobles of the five countries are still alive, the blood connection is difficult to sever, and the estrangement between the people is deep."
He did not mention only the other four countries. Because in the hearts of the Great Xia royal family, the people of the world are all the people of Great Xia, and they are treated equally. But in the hearts of the old magnates of the Xia Kingdom, Great Xia is the world that belongs to the Xia Kingdom. In fact, there is a deviation between the two positions.
"I have repeatedly admonished my father and emperor to govern the country with benevolence, not to be pedantic, but to resolve this kind of contradiction.
"You know, the current Great Xia is actually not stable. There are alien races eyeing each other outside, and there are the relics of the four countries secretly plotting inside. Blindly abusing harsh government is probably not the best policy.
"General Yan, you might as well think about it. Take the current law in the army as an example, even if a group of soldiers is a little late, according to the law, the whole army will be beheaded, and if it is used by someone with intentions, what kind of situation will it cause?
"And what if we change to only beheading the generals in the army, and then appropriately reduce the punishment of ordinary soldiers?
"At present, the war has just ended, and rest and recuperation are the most important things. It is the best policy to show benevolence externally and strict law and discipline internally. ”
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Yan Qingjun, his eyes were full of light.
Qin Zhao is ready to start recruiting a team for himself. That night, through the matter of luck, he found that Great Xia seems to be strong now, but in fact, the situation is dangerous, and the national fortune is also shaky.
And if we have these 300,000 troops in hand, no matter what variables happen in the future, we will not lose our ground.
At this time, it is a great test of mouth cannon skills.
Fortunately, there was Yu Wei, who was below the sky before, and with the exchange just now, Yan Qingjun still attached great importance to his remarks.
However, what he just said is by no means alarmist. Draconian policies worked well in times of war, but now they are somewhat out of place. I made it clear what was at stake, and I believe that the general could understand the truth.
Hearing his words, Yan Qingjun was slightly stunned. After a long while, he asked softly, "Then His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want to do?" ”
Qin Zhao looked at her and said in a deep voice:
"Take 'benevolence and propriety' as the skin, and 'punishment and law' as the bones."
In this world, there is a rough Legalist system, and there are literati who study ancient rituals and promote the way of benevolence and righteousness, but there is no formed Confucian system, so he simply replaces it with "benevolence".
He himself roughly understands the bones of the law, but the specifics of it are not clear. But these are not problems, there is a full set of knowledge in the [Luck Collection], he can wait for the future to learn slowly, and if he can't learn it, he can also recruit talents to help.
But the premise is that he needs to have certain rights.
And the military is the best means to enhance its own right to speak.
On the surface, we advocate the idea of etiquette and righteousness of governing the country with benevolence, but in practice, we rely on the criminal laws of the Legalists, and the two are combined and benevolence and law are mutually beneficial. Political merit combined with ethical persuasion was the only way to stabilize the situation within the dynasty.
"The great war within the human race is gone, but there are many local disputes. Externally, there are still large areas of alien races waiting for us to conquer.
"The army is the foundation of my Great Xia Dynasty, and it cannot be stopped by being knighted with military merits. If we further open up outwards, we will be able to always maintain the vitality of the army......"
Looking at Qin Zhao who was talking eloquently in front of him, Yan Qingjun was slightly surprised. This prince has really surprised himself repeatedly.
After listening to his words, Yan Qingjun was silent for a long time......
"You will definitely be a good emperor in the future!" She finally said this sentence that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.
Then he straightened his clothes, got up and saluted Qin Zhao, and said with a straight face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has benefited Qingjun a lot from his remarks today. Whatever happens in the future, I will personally be on your side. ”
It's done!
"General Yan doesn't have to be polite, and he will rely on you a lot in the future." He raised his right arm lightly and smiled.
As Yan Qingjun's voice fell, a line of handwriting on the luck gold list flashed.
[Gain the allegiance of Yan Qingjun, the general of the Great Xia Dynasty, and increase your luck by 700!] ]
[Current Luck: 5700]
Looking at this line of words, Qin Zhao was thoughtful. So far, Yan Qingjun has provided him with 1,000 points of luck, which is about half of her own luck.
I don't know if this distribution of values is random or if there is any pattern, but he himself leans towards the latter.
But now is not the time to think about that.
Qin Zhao spoke again and asked, "General Yan, I am relatively clear about the situation in Great Xia, but I still need to ask you more about the situation outside the dynasty." I don't know what the situation is now? ”
Hearing his question, Yan Qingjun stretched out his hand to gently support Xuebai's chin, and said in thought: "Actually, there are no particularly strong alien races around Great Xia, and the biggest threat is the White Feather tribe in the north.
"However, although they are strong in combat, they live in a harsh environment, have few natural materials, and have a limited population. With Changming Mountain and the city wall as a barrier, it is just a disease of mustard.
"In my opinion," her expression became a little solemn as she said this, "the Flame Tapir Clan beyond the East China Sea, that's the big problem. ”
"Flame tapirs?" Qin Zhao had information about this alien race in his memory, but they had never had a head-on conflict with the Terrans. He didn't pay much attention to the situation outside of Great Xia in the past, and he didn't have much information about this in detail.
"Yes, the Flame Tapir Clan is actually extremely powerful and aggressive." Yan Qingjun turned his head to look east, as if he was looking at the endless sea area and the continent on the other side of the sea from afar.
"Judging from the intelligence officers' interrogations in recent years, they are not very peaceful, and they have already brought all the surrounding alien tribes under their rule, and have begun to tame the alien beasts in the sea."
"Having said that," Qin Zhao said thoughtfully, "it's unlikely that they want to cross the East China Sea. ”
"For now, that's the case." Yan Qingjun nodded, "There are also some powerful scale tribes in the sea area, which they can't easily conquer. Of course, the most troublesome thing is the climate change at sea, which is difficult for terrestrial races to adapt. ”
"I understand, I will pay more attention to this information in the future." Qin Zhao looked at her with a sincere expression, "Thank you General Yan for clarifying your doubts today." ”
Yan Qingjun smiled and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has questions, his subordinates should naturally know everything. ”
"Then I won't bother the general today. By the way," Speaking of this, Qin Zhao took out a roll of brocade silk from his arms and handed it to her, "I urgently need some supplies, and I hope you will bother more." ”
The content of the silk book is a material needed to refine the Reverse Fate Gu.
"Okay." Yan Qingjun stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it carefully.
"How long will it take?"
"There are a lot of Five Elements Ant Kings, so it will be more troublesome to collect, and the other dead things are basically in stock, so there is no problem." She didn't ask Qin Zhao why she had collected these things, and replied as she browsed them.
"In three days, it should be done."
"Good!" Qin Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then I'll wait for General Yan's good news." ”
"Report!" While the two were talking, the sound of a guard summons came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General, His Majesty the Emperor has sent a messenger to deliver the decree!"
