Regarding military salaries, if the army is stationed on one side for a long time, according to her understanding of reading history books, the problem of eating is basically solved by herself.

After all, a country can't afford to raise so many soldiers, and most of the troops are temporarily conscripted, so they enlist in the army to fight when there is war, and participate in the production of "tuntian" locally in peacetime.

The so-called "tuntian", that is, the soldiers would set aside a fixed period of time every year to practice, and the other periods would be incarnated as peasant uncles to farm, try to achieve self-sufficiency in food, and reduce the pressure on the country.

Let's talk about a particularly typical one, such as Jiang Wei's Tuntian in Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period, which is a typical self-sufficient army.

However, the soldiers in the Changtaming Slope camp were a little different.

First, they were not recruited by the state, and this army was actually a private army belonging to the Yuwen family.

In daily circumstances, it was the Yuwen family who raised the military salary, but once the country went to war, or all expenses during the march were supported by the food paid by King Ye.

This time, the troops were sent to Fuxian County to garrison the border, which was for military affairs, and it should be borne by Ye Guo.

Second, due to the successive droughts and disasters in Fuxian County over the years, it is basically impossible to realize "Tuntian".

After listening to them, Zheng Quqi told them some ins and outs, and also had a general understanding of the situation.

"King Ye wants to use military salaries to control our Four Elephant Army?"

Yu Wensheng has four elephant armies, namely Xuanwu (Xuanjia), Qinglong (Teng Snake Army), White Tiger, Vermilion Bird (Red Phoenix Army), and the current team in the Changtaming Slope camp is dominated by the Xuanjia Army, and the remaining large troops are deployed by Yu Wensheng to be secretly stationed in other places.

It can be said that Ye Guo, which is inferior to people, has been able to stand still today, among which Yu Wensheng and the Four Elephant Army account for most of the credit.

Now that Yuwen Sheng is more than lucky, when King Ye got the news, his idea naturally hit the Four Elephant Army.

"Yes."

Zheng Quqi lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Then he is probably going to be disappointed, I don't have to rely on him, I can also afford to raise them."

Wei Yao, Wang Zebang and Runtu looked at her in amazement.

"Go on."

The current Zheng Quqi is so strange in their eyes, and the she they once knew is not like this.

She seems to have precipitated some impetuousness and contradictions, and the whole person is like an anchor into the water, no longer showing her light and fluttering strength, and drifting with the tide.

There is a saying that the first thing that people age is not their faces, but the courage to disregard them, and the first thing people mature is not the body, but the temperament and wisdom between speech and demeanor.

Today's Zheng Quchi, she seems to have matured, and she is also like a child who suddenly lost an adult who could give her shelter, and was forced to learn to grow up overnight, learn to face, and learn to deal with those complicated things like an adult.

During this time, Wang Zebang was exhausted, the wrinkles on his brows were a little deeper, and his bloodshot eyes were blue and black, as if he had aged several years in just a few days.

"Madam, the old patriarch of the Yuwen family also sent someone over with a letter, saying that he heard that our generals are gone, so all the inheritance of the ancestral mansion and the general's mansion under the general's name will be handled by him."

"The old patriarch of the Yuwen family?" Zheng Quqi looked at Wang Zebang, and his moist and clear eyes were fixed: "What qualifications does he have to divide Yu Wensheng's inheritance?"

Wang Zebang saw that his wife did not understand, so he explained to her about the family governance culture of "monarch" and "patriarch".

There are many branches and families under each prosperous family, and in this mode, the respect and inferiority of the clan, the relationship between relatives and relatives, and the relationship between relatives and relatives are intertwined, which is intricate, and it is easy to produce contradictions and disputes.

In traditional patriarchal societies, the head of a clan is the leader and maintainer of the clan organization with the same surname, responsible for and in charge of all affairs within the clan, while the patriarch has great power within the clan.

Even for the clansmen who "blaspheme the elders, disturb the family rites, and despise the clan power", they can also set up a private torture hall in the clan.

"But the General's Mansion...... Isn't there another me?"

Wang Zebang clenched his fists, and finally let out a long sigh

Said: "Madam, according to the rules of the Yuwen family, a widow who has never given birth and married into the house for less than a year cannot ......."

Zheng Quchi's expression was stunned when he heard this, it turned out to be ...... She married him for such a short time, and she didn't even have a year to expire.

She pursed her white lips and said calmly, "What else?"

They watched the lady's every move with concern, and saw that she seemed to accept the matter very calmly, and for a moment they did not know what she was planning to do.

"In the end, Princess Sheng'an disappeared near Fuxian, and King Ye was furious, so he blamed the general for this crime, and ordered me to ask me if I didn't find someone within a month."

It was the first time that Zheng Quqi had heard such a ridiculous reason for accountability, and she couldn't help asking, "Is this King Ye ...... What is the relationship with your general?"

Wei Yao seemed to know her psychological doubts: "King Ye is both afraid and hated of the general, on the one hand, he wants to tame the general and be completely loyal to him, and on the other hand, he is very jealous of the general's prestige, it can be said that this time the general has an accident, he is definitely more happy than sad."

Such a dumb king, no wonder Ye will come to such a field now......

Even if Zheng Quqi is a person who is not sensitive to the political situation, she also understands what it means for Ye Guo to lose a Yu Wensheng, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked, and she also knows that there are endless killings of heroes in history for the reason of "high merit and mastery".

But other monarchs at least knew how to keep their murderous intentions well before the threat was gone, but he was so stupid that the world knew what he was thinking.

Without Yu Wensheng, what if he had the "Four Elephant Army"? Does he know how to get the most out of his army? Will he send troops?

Zheng Quqi thought about it for a while, one of these three things was far away in Shengjing, and the other was still a month away, so she decided to do the things that were close to her first.

"In that case, let's deal with the family affairs of the Yuwen family first, who are the people who came to deliver the message this time?" Zheng Quqi asked.

Wang Zebang said, "It's the cousins of the old patriarch, Yu Wenze and Yu Wenhao."

"Adjutant Wang, you and I have to talk carefully, the old patriarch, they all have the right to interfere in the affairs of the general's mansion."

"The patriarch is generally responsible for passing on the clan rules and regulations, enforcing and supervising various regulations, and also acting as a notary public for the clan's division of the family, the establishment of heirs, the inheritance of property, etc., and presiding over the sacrificial activities of the clan.

Wang Zebang knew that the general's wife was from a peasant family, and he didn't know the rules and regulations in the big family, so he spoke in detail, which can be said to be that all aspects were not omitted.

"In this way, the old patriarch, can your clan rules be above all else, above all identity and power?" She asked again.

Wang Zebang paused for a moment, as if pondering the meaning of Madame's words: "Not really...... The king is the supreme king of the Ye kingdom, and everything will give way to the king's power."

Zheng Qu bowed her head to show that she understood, and she said, "Where are Yu Wenhao and Yu Wen Ze now?"

"I am waiting in the camp to see my wife, and they said that if my wife refuses to see her, then everything will be arranged according to the rules of the clan without further notice."

Zheng Quqi looked at the sky outside the window and estimated the hour: "Okay, you wait for me to freshen up, and then we will leave for the camp immediately."

"No!"

When Zheng Quqi finished saying the last word, Brother Sang pushed the door in, he was still holding a bowl of smoking Chinese medicine in his hand, and said with a serious expression, "Your injuries are not healed yet, where are you going?"

Zheng Quqi's eyes swept over Wei Yao and the three of them, signaling them to go out first.

The three of them nodded, said hello to Brother Sang again, and walked out of the room.

After everyone left, Zheng Quqi smiled at Brother Sang: "Brother, I'm fine, this injury is not serious, as long as you are careful and don't involve the sore spot, it won't get in the way."

The arrow was stuck right in the shoulder blade, and the wound wasn't serious, and it wasn't that deep, just dang

At first, the bleeding was not stopped in time, which was a little scary.

It is precisely because of this that she will be in a coma for many days, of course, this is also related to her mental trauma and her reluctance to wake up.

Brother Sang put the medicine bowl aside, he sat on the edge of the bed and asked solemnly, "Ruler, what do they have to do with you dragging your injuries?"

Zheng Quqi said, "Brother, after I take care of all this, I will tell you everything as it is, but now you just let me go, okay?"

Brother Sang looked at her pleading eyes, she had not been very energetic for the past two days, but he knew that his ruler had never been a person who would collapse after a major blow.

Perhaps, let her do something she wants to do, let her go outside and be distracted by other things, maybe people will get better faster.

"Do you have to go? Can't you wait any longer?" He asked, almost helplessly, with his Adam's apple rolling.

Zheng Quqi looked directly at him and said without hesitation, "You have to go, you can't wait."

When Brother Sang heard this, he let out a long sigh.

"You know, as long as you insist on doing something, big brother will always be unable to do anything about you, but you must pay attention to your body......" He turned his head again and yelled at the three people outside the door, "I will hand over my sister to you, can you guarantee that this time you will take good care of her and not let her get hurt again?"

The three people outside didn't go far, and when they heard the shouts of Brother Sang in the room, they immediately responded solemnly: "The three of us swear with our lives, as long as I don't die, we will protect Zheng Gong."

Zheng Quqi looked at Brother Sang's cold side face, his whole body was tense and patient, obviously unwilling and worried, but in the end he desperately restrained himself from letting go......

Perhaps, he probably guessed something, but if she didn't say it, he chose to respect her, not to force, not to ask, not to embarrass her.

"Brother, thank you......

Zheng Quqi gently rested his head on his back, his nose was sour, and his eyes were swollen.

——

After Zheng Quqi drank the Chinese medicine, she tried to get up, she moved carefully, in order not to involve the wound on her left back, she could only use her right hand instead of all the movements of her left arm.

She rummaged through the cage and found a beautiful dress and took it out.

This was given to her by Yu Wensheng at the beginning, and she has always regarded herself as a craftsman, so naturally she never deliberately wears these luxurious but unworn luxurious dresses.

But now it's different, if she wants to be Yu Wensheng's wife and become the head of the general's mansion, she naturally needs to pay attention to her image in front of everyone.

After carefully changing into a brocade dress with three layers inside and three layers outside, she took out a set of rouge gouache that had been sealed for a long time.

As soon as you look at the beautifully embossed packaging box, you will know that it is particularly expensive.

She still remembers that she was reluctant to spend money, but in order to respond to Yu Wensheng, she went to the kitchen to get flour to paint her face, and that funny and funny appearance made Yu Wensheng can't bear to look at it directly.

It is estimated that he misunderstood that she also loves beauty like other women, and likes to dress up, and later, he didn't know when he went to buy this set, and quietly put it on the dresser and gave it to her.

She sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully tracing her eyebrows, drawing eyeliner, and applying powder and rouge.

It's not that she doesn't know how to wear makeup, modern people have a lot of competition, in addition to filling in the connotation, face work is also a project that must be paid attention to.

In addition, she has been staying up late for many years to catch up with the project, and as a strong woman, she needs to take good care of herself and face the scrutiny and attention of others with a pair of exquisite makeup.

Sloppiness can be a casual personal life, but it can't be manifested in the scope of work, after all, she was also an aspiring young man with ideals and striving for the top.

And now, she should also show the state of entering the society and go all out to cope with the current "job".

And when Zheng Quqi pushed the door out, the few people waiting by the door turned around, but they were all stunned.

They were really stunned.

From the first acquaintance to the present, the general's wife has changed more than the "eighteen changes of the female university".

To be more exaggerated, from male to female, from young to tall, from pleasing to lovely, to today's stunning and outstanding.

When a person understands the advantages and disadvantages of his appearance, coupled with a skillful retouching, and learns from each other's strengths, then ordinary looks can also become remarkable.

In addition, Zheng Quqi himself is not bad, his skin is good, and his delicate appearance of seven points directly jumped to the top of nine points.

She was wearing a set of moon-white and goose-yellow brocade long skirts, the skirt and cuffs were trimmed with silver thread, and the cuffs were thin with pale yellow patterns.

Her jet-black and slightly curly hair was curled into a wishful bun, with only a plum blossom white hosta inserted, this simple and elegant yet exquisite dress made them can't believe that she was the "Sang Xuanqing" who was black and thin, living like a little mouse.

Zheng Quqi saw that they were looking at her stupidly, motionless, she turned her head and looked around her: "What are you standing so stupidly for? Is there something wrong with me?"

Wei Yao was the first to come back to his senses, and he swallowed, "Uh, that, ma'am, you, how did you become like this?"

"What has become of me?" Zheng Quqi turned around and raised his eyes: "Oh, don't I look good in this way?"

Wang Zebang pushed away Wei Yao, who couldn't speak, with his elbow, and immediately replied, "It's good-looking."

Look, this is what he thinks the general's wife should look like!

"Isn't it magnificent?"

"Magnificent."

"Isn't it majestic?"

Majesty?

Everything else can be boasted of casually, but he has never seen such a petite and delicate majesty......

"This ......"

"It's impossible, I specially accentuated the sharpness of my eyebrows and eyeliner, this is proper black makeup." She touched her eyebrows and muttered to the corners of her eyes.

What the hell is black makeup?

Seeing that Madame was "fully armed" as if she was on an expedition, they couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you—are you going to talk, or are you going to fight?"

Zheng Quqi put down his hand, and there was no need to depict it in his eyebrows and eyes, so he spontaneously became clear and transparent: "It is not only a conversation, but also a war, and it is also about winning or losing."
