Liu Ying was tempted by such a brilliance, she couldn't take her eyes off, she vaguely didn't know what she answered, and she heard Zhang Yan continue, "...... The conscription system has been in place for a long time, and it is not something that can be completely changed in a moment. What I mean is that the recruitment of troops is temporarily implemented in several counties in the north, and a recruitment army is set up in Chang'an, which does not require a large number of people, only needs to ensure the absolute elite, and this army, you must ensure that it is in your own hands, and you cannot give any possibility of control by others...... What's wrong? ”

"Nothing." Liu Ying smiled slightly and withdrew her gaze.

Liu Ying was quite amused.

He discovered something. Zhang Yan rejected his identity as a husband, but maintained a certain degree of respect for the official status of "Lü Yushi", and submitted to his own imperial power as the emperor of the Han Dynasty after Lü Yushi. The most important thing is that she has an extreme degree of respect, maintenance and affection for her former Uncle Liu Ying.

He wondered, is this a strange circle?

When he was only willing to treat her as his niece, she stood behind him, loving herself persistently with a simple and deep love; When he wanted to bow down and be her man, she had already retreated, willing to be only her subject and niece.

They're always missing out on each other.

The recruiting army set up in Chang'an Sanfu is to ensure its own safety, right?

Ah Yan, you say that we don't know each other again, but in your heart, you still miss me.

Liu Ying was relieved, feeling that all the hard work and futile work she had done these days had meaning, and said thoughtfully, "If the recruitment of the army is implemented, the recruitment of the army will be contracted." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yan bowed, "The army maintained by the entire Han Dynasty should be a constant that fluctuates up and down. If there is less, it may not be possible to ensure the safety of the place; Too much will be a waste of people's power. And a lot of money is wasted on military spending. When the conscription reaches a certain size, the conscription will naturally shrink accordingly.

But the conscription has been practiced for many years, and it has its own reasons. Every adult man of the Han Dynasty has one year of "soldier" and one year of "guard", and some of them are poor and willing to serve in the military; But those who have a large family are afraid that they are more willing to spend money to be exempted from labor. You might as well consider calculating the amount of conscription vacancies that can be vacated according to the number of troops you need to recruit each year, and distribute these vacancies to the counties, so that the rich people can use money to serve in lieu of service. In this way, the military expenses for recruiting troops will also be settled. ”

"Great goodness." Liu Yingjie admired.

Zhang Yan's idea not only filled the loophole of the sudden implementation of the military recruitment system. At the same time, it will not cause a shortage of military resources, and it is also mobile and flexible, extremely operable, and very clever. If it can be implemented, then the imperial court. The common people and the army can all benefit, and the end is a knife to cut tofu, and there is light on both sides.

"Ah Yan—" He looked at the girl's eyes brightly.

"Huh?" Zhang Yan was slightly proud, and a smile appeared on her cheeks, and the pear vortex loomed. The eyebrows and eyes are soothing, and the beauty is like the spring light of March.

Liu Yingru was bewitched, and her eyes were obsessed. He said softly, "Actually, you like this kind of life, don't you?" ”

The smile gradually put away, and Zhang Yan said defensively. "I don't know what you mean."

"You know—Ah Yan, you're smart. Minhui, with a keen opinion on political and state affairs that is rare for women," Liu Ying ignored Zhang Yan's avoidance, wanting to uncover the veil she wanted to hide, looking into the depths of her heart, and her words seemed to be analytical, "And, in fact, you like this feeling of speaking in political affairs, it will make you feel that it has played a good role in the big man and get a sense of achievement." Ah Yan, you don't have to be afraid to admit this. ”

"Ah Yan," he leaned down, bullying the girl, and softened his voice, "Will you go back with me?" ”

"You should know that only by my side will you be able to realize all your ideas and at the same time, apply your wisdom to the fullest. If you really become a folk girl incognito, these things will be very far away from you. All your ingenuity, ideals, and ambitions will be buried in the loess and white sand. A hundred years later, when you look back, will you feel too much pity? ”

"Self-inflicted."

Anger rushed to Zhang Yan's mind, and she refuted sharply, "Do you think I'm Li Ji or Mi Bazi?" In the past, the reason why I was willing to spend my heart and soul on those things that I didn't have was because I loved you, so I was willing to love this big man because of you. Otherwise, I'm a boudoir woman, wouldn't I want to mix fragrance and fat, boil wine and tea every day, and live my own leisurely life. Now, now that I have decided to give up on you, can I still be attached to those beetles that cannot be eaten or used? ”

She was angry and angry, and she also had a little grievance that she couldn't even detect. Taking a step back, his head lowered slightly, in a somewhat bleak tone, "I don't know why you're in this place, and I don't want to know. For me, our love affair was over that night in Changle Palace. You'd better not waste your time on me.

- Regarding the matter of recruiting the army, what the people can say has already been said just now. Thinking that the adults were busy with business, the folk girl didn't continue to bother, and quit. ”

"Ah Yan." Liu Ying called out to her.

"Master Lu," Zhang Yan turned his head and looked back at his pair of apricot eyes, which were black and white, "There is no Ah Yan of yours here." ”

Liu Ying was silent for a while, and sighed helplessly, "If you are angry, I apologize." It's just," his face sank slightly, "I think that Min Ruo's heart is not right, you don't have to deal with him in the future." ”

Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows, "Who do I have dealings with, Lord Lu doesn't seem to care, right?" ”

"Ah Yan, don't be angry, I'm serious." Liu Ying stroked her forehead helplessly, and said, "Men look at men the most, Min Ruo has ladylike thoughts about you, I have also checked it privately these days, the Min family has always been domineering in Shanan, and he is the youngest son of the family, arrogant and unruly, such a person, you get involved, there is no benefit, if you want spices, Chang'an is the capital, what kind of spices are not?" Why bother dealing with him. ”

"I know my own affairs," Zhang Yan snorted and replied, "Lord Lu still takes care of his own good, and the folk girl retires." ”

When he got home, Qing Kui came out with Xiang Hezi in his hand, "Big lady, take a look, are you satisfied?" "The eyes are joyful, simple and bright.

Zhang Yan's mood improved, opened the incense zygote, and the incense powder was molded into a piece of incense. Stacked in the middle. Stretched out his hand and twisted a piece, the shape was complete, and a fragrant and astringent breath was filled, and he nodded and praised, "Qingkui, you can finish your kung fu." ”

Qingkui's eyes revealed joy, and she said reservedly, "Don't dare to praise as a lady." ”

The purple pottery deep belly circled the lotus leaf incense burner and swallowed the smell of incense, fragrant and green.

"I thought Shujun was just joking," Zhao Qin played with the fragrant hezi in his hand. "I don't want you to really make incense. I'm tired of Shujun. ”

Zhang Yanyanran, "Look at what my cousin said, since I agreed to send you." How can you regret it? ”

"So, I'm wrong to blame Sister Shujun. Thank you sister for the incense. Hey, no, this incense burner ......."

"I think my cousin also found out," Zhang Yan said. "Since ancient times, China has used thatch as incense and burned directly with a bean-type incense burner to take the aroma of its muscles and bones. But I've heard that in the far west, there is a saying that most plants and trees can be incense. The way of incense is a thousand changes. To put it simply, of course it's simple. Sun-dried thatch can become a fragrance of its own, which can be complicated or complicated. Just like everyone has their own personality, every taste of incense. also has its own temperament. Not only does the person choose incense, but the incense is also matched. Only when incense complements people is the best quality. ”

"There is the so-called 'arson of the death of the hero's bones, not ashamed of the world'." I gave my cousin this fragrance, and I named it Xia Gu. And it is made into a flake, which can be placed directly in the sachet and belt, gradually dyed and gradually fragrant, or it can be smoked in a deep-bellied incense burner, depending on what my cousin likes. ”

"Chivalrous?"

"yes, chivalry." Zhang Yanming's eyes flashed slightly, "I think, my cousin is a ranger who fights the sword world, but rangers are also different from rangers." On the way out of Hanguguan from Xingyang Road, I noticed that every time my cousin collected his sword, he had to stroke his cuffs. These are all the panaches that only the aristocracy has. Among the rangers, you are a nobleman. Among the nobles, you are a ranger. Therefore, I named this fragrance 'Chivalrous Bone'. ”

"That's right." Zhao Qin laughed loudly.

The chivalrous bone incense smells like a kind of * at first glance, but it contains astringency, and it has been burning for a long time, which makes people feel sober, quite a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am sober, Zhao Qin can't put it down, and carries it with him.

"This fragrance is very special." Shen Mo touched his nose and tasted it.

He was born in Longxi's Liangjia and served as the deputy general of Langzhong, leading the Son of Heaven to travel and ride and safety, and was skilled in arching and horsemanship. Since they met Zhao Qin, they have often learned from each other and formed friendships. On this day, he came forward and was about to speak, but he smelled the faint fragrance on Zhao Qin's body, and scolded with a smile, "You are a big man, how can you learn what kind of incense those girls smoke?" ”

"Nonsense." Zhao Qin scolded with a smile, "The children of Chang'an have a lot of incense on their bodies." ”

"Besides," he said, taking the sachet from his waist, he said to himself, "I am not the usual thatch, my sister specially prepared it for me." ”

Shen Mo looked at it intently, the royal blue sachet was square and simple, the stitches were smooth, there was not much fat powder, and it was different from the kind that was generally stuffed with vanilla, but flat and attached to the palm of the hand. It exudes a faint fragrance, but it is lush and lush.

His gaze casually glanced at Zhao Qin Kobe, and his expression became a little strange, "Which sister of yours?" ”

"Which other girl?" Zhao Qin didn't care, "Of course it's my sister Shujun." ”

……

"Sister Shujun, no, no, Yanniang, my cousin," Zhao Qin begged, "I beg you, can you go and appease my cousin?" ”

Zhang Yan was stunned, "What's wrong with you?" The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Zhao Qin was gray-headed and haggard. "It's not the incense you gave me." He was angry, remembering the look on Liu Ying's face at that time, he couldn't help but shudder.

I'm stupid. has already planted a heel on Zhang Yan, and I don't know how to converge yet.

Now that I think about it, too. The genuine husband didn't receive the incense handmade by his wife, so what kind of fun did his cousin have to fight with eight poles?

But

"He actually punished me to grind noodles. Ten sacks of wheat, and I'm not a donkey. ”

Zhao Qin was furious.

Flutter.

On the side, Xiaodao and Qingkui couldn't help laughing when they heard it, and Zhang Yan couldn't help the corners of her mouth, "I can't help you." - You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have someone ready for you. ”

"No need." Zhao Qin hurriedly shook his head.

He no longer dared to knowingly commit it. Speaking of which, his cousin hasn't been in the house yet. If he used Zhang Yan's hand-clothed rice again, who knows what that person would think?

Zhao Qin Jiling shuddered, and couldn't help asking, "Shujun, my cousin has already reached this point, what else do you want?" ”

"Don't say that thinking of his identity, he is an ordinary man, what he has done these days has been exhausted, what are you not satisfied with?"

Zhang Yan's face turned cold, she turned her head to look at him, and after a while, she said lightly, "It turns out that in your opinion, I just don't know what to do?" ”

"You only see what he says is good, but do you know that he is not good for me?"

"This ......" Zhao Qin was dumbfounded.

How can an outsider know about the affairs between their husband and wife? "But, my cousin is a good man,"

"Am I the bad guy?" Zhang Yan cross-examined.

"I have been a nephew and nephew with him for ten years, and I know him far better than you. What is it that made me leave all my worries and go away alone, Zhao Qin, do you know? ”

"Big lady," Qing Kui looked at her face and cautiously persuaded, "What Zhao Langjun said, don't take it to heart." ”

"I'm fine." Zhang Yan said lightly.
