Chapter 16: The General Trend

Meng Xingci finally understood Ye Xun's intentions, in the final analysis, it was a matter of disarmament. How many people can she manage, can she get used to tens of millions of people?

Since the establishment of the Great Apocalypse, the war in Yanhuiguan has continued. The number of casualties among the soldiers has increased year by year, and the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, if the Marquis of Dingyong is really compassionate, he will not be able to lead the Yan Hui army and guard the Yan Hui Pass for many years.

On the battlefield, he commanded his soldiers to charge into battle, ambush and fight, and he never hesitated. However, Marquis Dingyong could not accept that after the death of his soldiers, his family had nothing to rely on.

Most of the people in Yanhuiguan are military households, and in order to maintain the strength of the army, Daqi implements the military household inheritance system. If a family is a military household, it will be a military household for generations, and once a war starts, a man between the ages of fourteen and fifty must be sent to battle.

Of course, for those who are registered in the military household, the imperial court will issue silver every month. It's not much, but it's an income. If there are no eligible men in the family, then the military household will be cancelled and the silver distribution will be cancelled.

Dingyonghou conveniently used this policy, as long as there was one person in the family, regardless of men, women and children, Dingyonghou was allowed to be registered. Even if there are no men in the family who meet the regulations, only the old and weak women and children are left, and they can receive silver for a long time. This is the last way to survive for those desperate families, but it has caused the current Yanhui army to be huge and bloated, but the combat effectiveness has not improved.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and they all knew that Meng Xingci came this time for disarmament. The military expenditure is too huge, and the emperor can't bear it anymore.

Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun with a clear expression, and she said lightly: "The prince loves soldiers like sons, which is really moving. After a pause, she added: "Disarmament is the trend of the times, and it will not stop because of one person. If I fail to implement it, it is my incompetence. But I'm inspired by a lot of talent, and there will be people who will do it, and one day it will succeed. ”

Ye Xun's brows sank, Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun again, and the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth loomed: "Since it is the trend of the times, why don't you take advantage of the trend." ”

Ye Xun said lightly: "Do you want me to support you?" Why? Just on your way to escape? Or is it a foolish way to break into a den of thieves? ”

Meng Xingci's face turned slightly red, but his bright eyes stared at him, "I won't give up my subordinates who are born and die." ”

Ye Xun's expression changed, and his eyes were deep.

There was an undercurrent surging between the two, one calm and indifferent, and the other calm. Two diametrically opposed qualities, two opposing positions, they stare at each other and do not give up half a step.

Song Nian looked at the two quietly, and later he knew that the Suiyuan transformation method that would be respected and sung by future generations began from this.

But the world will not know that the two of them at this time are embarrassed and the other cannot be trusted, and it started in such a hasty night.

After dawn, Ye Xun and the others did not leave, but decided to go up the mountain to find the stronghold of the bandits.

Meng Xingci was also going to go with him, Ye Xun glanced at her and didn't stop her.

Ling Huan also clamored to go together, and Song Nian sneered: "You? You better stop causing trouble. ”

Ling Huan said seriously: "I am the maid of the adult, where the adult goes, I will go, I must be with the adult!" ”

Meng Xingci was moved: "Adults are reluctant to leave Linghuan." ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Linghuan!"

The master and servant were deeply moved, but Ye Xun and Song Nian turned dark.

"Don't go yet." After Ye Xun finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the mountain.

Ling Huan is a dragger, just after climbing the mountain for a while, he is too tired to walk. Meng Xingci is not much better than her, and her steps are vain, so she still has the heart to care about Linghuan.

Meng Xingci stumbled under his feet and pounced directly on Ye Xun in front. Ye Xun seemed to have eyes on his back, unhurried, turned sideways, and took her into his arms.

Meng Xingci's face was directly facing Ye Xun's face, and the tips of his noses seemed to be sticking together.

Ye Xun hugged Meng Xingci's waist, her waist was really slender, and her skin was delicate and fair. Sure enough, people who read and practice martial arts are different, Ye Xun thought vaguely.

Meng Xingci immediately jumped down and patted his chest: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, I thought I was going to make a fool of myself." ”

Ye Xun glanced at her, took her collar and walked forward with her.

Meng Xingci was very happy to find that he had really saved a lot of effort in this way.
