Chapter 16 Qingyunzhi
Finish the fall harvest, complete the taxes, count the taxes, plan what to do for the next year, the first snow of winter falls.
Li Ruxi returned with the bandit leader, proclaiming Zhuang Xun's absolute rule over Jiannan Dao, barbaric and brutal, with his head at the city gate, and those who have a heart have no heart.
The winter in ancient times was very pure, at least for the officials, who had a better heart, pay attention to the snow disaster, whether it crushed the houses or something, and the bad heart will be gone.
Not only is merit required, but also for precious manpower, Siqin Mi also cherishes it, so he was busy for a while, but after a few snowstorms, the ice and snow also froze people's actions.
It's finally stopped, at least for a short time, there is nothing to do, and everyone is preparing for the New Year.
Zhuang Xun looked at the small book, Siqin Mi resumed needlework, Li Ruxi compared the map, a family was in order, and Zhuang Xun was clamped on the left and right.
In the room where the fire was burning, there was a crackling sound from time to time, and Zhuang Xun read the book vigorously, because it was not a serious book, it was a strange thing.
True or false, there are some things that you can still ask the Xuannu, and then open a new world, mysterious and mysterious.
When his body and mind were immersed in that kind of fairy artistic conception, the embroidered shoes touched his calves, at first he thought it was accidentally touched, and shrunk his legs slightly, and then, the little feet did not give up, and continued to rub.
Only then did he raise his head and look at Li Ruxi on the right, Li Ruxi was in a trance, and was still looking at the map, but he was rubbing Zhuang Xun's little feet obliquely, which was not very elegant.
"What is Madame looking at?" I originally wanted to play some small games with Li Ruji, but today it was her turn. However, Si Qinmi's puzzled gaze made Zhuang Xun hurry over and said to the map that Li Ruxi was pointing to.
Li Ruxi was disappointed in Zhuang Xun's timidity, so she naturally rubbed his cheek with her pretty face, pointed to the map and said:
"We are the most difficult to enter here, there are many passes, compared to Chengguo crossing the river and Zhao Guoyan river, our logistics pressure is huge, I don't want to go up along the big river, but we are currently short of whales."
"I think we're just going to be a containment deputy, and you really expect us to be able to break through the Netherlands? Don't want to cross the river, you still have to climb over the mountains. Zhuang Xun naturally hugged Li Ruxi, and looked at the map with Li Ruxi's eyes, he was familiar with the surrounding terrain.
What they have to do is to contain the power of Youguo in the east and make Youguo tired, and it is impossible for Zhuang Xun to use the power of Hebei Dao and Jiannan Dao to subdue Youguo.
"Of course, doesn't the husband want to be virtuous in the world?" Because there are no outsiders around, and the Yun Yin Gardenia paintings that serve are considered family members, Li Ruxi seems to have no scruples when she speaks, and her words are not wrong, but Zhuang Xun doesn't think that he can achieve it.
"The ideal is the ideal, the reality is the reality, the reality is that we still need to be down-to-earth, consolidate the current foundation, if there is an opportunity to attack the country, try to get a strategic point, our goal must be Yu country, otherwise the enemy will be on our backs."
It was originally a place of four wars, but the mountains were high and dangerous, and it was difficult for foreign enemies to invade, and what was needed most at present was to eat Yu Guo, especially with the permission of King Yu, wouldn't it be much better than gnawing on a country like Youguo?
"The concubine thinks that it is more important to attack the eastern border of Youguo, if King Yu promises Lang Jun to hold on for a few more years, he can make up for it, no matter how good Jiannan's development is, it is not as good as a few more Dao."
Si Qinmi also put down the frame in her hand and walked over, looked at the map and put forward her opinion, Zhuang Xun has the ideal of soaring Qingyun, she is responsible for realizing it, a perfect dream person.
Ten years of deep cultivation, sweeping the world, with advanced systems and industrial revolution, to reduce the dimensionality of the natives.
It sounds very powerful, but, but, it is farming and planting industrial apple trees, at least charcoal saltpeter these can't be mixed and exploded, and there are no fireworks, and I can't remember the mess, Zhuang Xun has given up on this path.
Then you can only follow the model of being relatively feudal and conservative.
The actual dynastic hegemony, the vast land, the abundant population, this is the most needed in the general hegemony, whale swallowing a large area of territory and population, you can be regarded as a prince, the more you can swallow, and digest, the more powerful.
This is also what Si Qinmi thought, nesting in Jiannan and Hebei, it is impossible to farm to be invincible in the world, it is better to swallow the adjacent land and cultivate a huge volume.
"Then there must be a chance, there are so many mountains and forests, I don't want to throw the precious lives of soldiers in these places." Zhuang Xun understood what Siqin Mi meant, so he responded.
"So Ci is not in charge of the army, but it is you, husband, no wonder, at present, it is too early, to fight, at least wait for spring, I just don't know what real people mean." Li Ruxi first scoffed at Zhuang Xun's words, then understood, and then calculated the next war trend.
She also agrees with cherishing the lives of soldiers, but if she can really occupy the eastern border of Youguo and form a rule, then the promotion of Zhuang Xun's Zhuang family is unparalleled, and Zhuang Xun will have the opportunity to compete with the princes of Yu for Yu and become victorious.
"How's the training going, are the recruits still adapting?" Because he planned to compete for the throne with the kings of Youguo and even Yu, Zhuang Xun expanded his army and prepared for war.
The initial plan is to expand to 20,000, of course, it is not as high as the carefully selected 3,000 forbidden army, but to be able to cope with the defense pressure of Jiannan Province and Hebei Province, of course, this is said externally, internally, then it is natural to be prepared to cooperate with the conquest of Youguo.
20,000 is not enough, but according to the standard of the forbidden army, that is, out of production and armor, it is already the limit of the two places to support, because Jiannan is still in a state of blood sucking in nature and has no blood-making ability.
Adopting the method of bringing the old with the new, there are many more people under each general, and Zhuang Xun wants to ask Li Ruxi's opinion.
"I will not disappoint my husband, please look forward to it." Li Ru snuggled up to Zhuang Xun and said, full of confidence, especially after the extermination of bandits, she became more and more confident.
The size of the two looks strange, but Si Qinmi's eyes are very harmonious, probably the protagonist is Zhuang Xun, her own pro-Langjun, looking at Zhuang Xun hugging and hugging the beauty, she has a kind of satisfaction of her own pig to arch other people's cabbage, ordinary women will be jealous, but who can refuse a sister who asks for peace every day, she can't refuse Zhuang Xun's smile.
"I don't understand very well, you think it's good to be able to train well, don't put too much pressure, I listen to the real person's meaning is to do a feint." Zhuang asked about the progress, mainly to let Li Ruxi not have too much pressure, after all, one day at home looking at the picture, the mind is simulated, originally I wanted to have some fun, how did I inexplicably turn to this kind of thing.
Xuannu's request is only to try her best to make trouble on the eastern front, not to attack the eastern border of Youguo, but Li Ruxi and Siqin Mi feel that they will not lose if they want to get their hands on the eastern border of Youguo.
"Okay, don't talk about Lang Jun, Sister Li is holding her breath and wants to lay a hidden country for Lang Jun." Si Qinmi can understand Li Ruxi, just like she wants to govern Jiannan Road and explain to Zhuang Xun, so is Li Ruxi, she also needs to give Zhuang Xun an explanation, what is better than military merits.
"You have already made great achievements in exterminating the bandits and clearing the obstacles to the development of Jiannan this time, what else is there to be angry, it is not good to rush for quick success." Zhuang Xun soothed the pinched lotus arm, and said affectionately, he was still a little worried when he was full of confidence.
"What my sister said is, don't worry, the concubine won't be in a hurry for quick success, the concubine will never do it again, don't worry, these concubines will also use it well." Li Ruxi assured that the whole person fell into Zhuang Xun's arms. Zhuang Xun didn't feel any weight.
"It's not good if you don't have anyone around like this." Seeing the intimacy between the two, Si Qinmi joked that her aunt's smile was not a little ambiguous.
"The lady is not an outsider, if the lady wants to, you can come too." Zhuang Xun stretched out his other hand and said quite scumbagly.
"Who wants you to be so small and want to control the two of us?" Siqin Mi didn't give face, but the person slipped into Zhuang Xun's arms and fragrant his cheeks.
"I've fought all three, what about you two." Zhuang Xun was full of confidence, kissing left and right, although the two were shy, they still seemed to be used to him being so presumptuous, and they did not escape from Zhuang Xun's hands.
"I'm not ashamed, what kind of small family do you think is a small family, and my wife and wife serve you together." Siqin Miyu pointed at Zhuang Xun's cheek and smiled.
"Ah, my family is not a small family, my family seems to be the only one." Zhuang Xun brought the two of them together and arched them between them.
"Do you really want me to serve you with my sister?" Li Ru glanced at Zhuang Xun with disgust, and stepped on Zhuang Xun's feet, but he didn't use any force.
"Why not, I've always had this confusion, you and Gardenia Yunyin can do it." Hands moved down to the waist, able to hug the slender waist into his arms, Zhuang Xun couldn't understand.
"You all know that it's Gardenia Yunyin, Sister Li is your roommate, or the concubine is your roommate, don't be ashamed." Holding Zhuang Xun and putting Zhuang Xun's head on his chest, Aunt Siqin Mi smiled, smiling happily.
"yes, do you want me to push you?" Because there are no outsiders, in front of Zhuang Xun and Siqin Mi, Li Ruxi showed her carnivorous nature.
"Say less, don't push anything, like you haven't pushed." Zhuang Xun blushed when he was said, and the practice of the room technique lasted for a long time, but his body was soft.
"Ah, husband, how can you say something shameful." Li Ruxi covered her cheeks, her eyes observing Si Qinmi's expression between her fingers.
Then she found that Si Qinmi's smile was happier than her, she seemed to have seen this expression, and her mother-in-law looked at her daughter-in-law's expression.
A little envious, but let her do it she can't do it, she doesn't have Si Qin Mi's heart, and only Si Qin Mi can do it, so as a wife and a mother, she watched the way the two got along, and found that Si Qin Mi was very feminine, preparing clothes, eating, always paying attention to Zhuang Xun's health, etc.
"Didn't you start first? I don't want to do that much, so it's okay to hug left and right like this. Zhuang Xun said that it was snowing outside, and the two wives were held at home, warm, fragrant, and full of experience of gentle township.
"What can there be, at home, and not let outsiders see it, otherwise how did the word left and right come from." Yanran smiled intoxicatingly, and Siqin Mi said dotingly.
Li Ruxi seriously doubted that if Zhuang Xun really insisted on insisting, maybe Siqin Mi would be half-pushed, and he didn't care who assisted.
Zhuang Xun doesn't understand big families, just like the emperor, the emperor can't let the queen and the concubine serve him together, which is not respectful to the queen and the concubine, and the same big family, if the aunt's status is high, can't be called to be with the lady.
"Sister, you spoil your husband too much, I can't resist my husband being spoiled, you also teach my sister, I also spoil her." She couldn't help but say that when a family is a loving mother, and can't control the fall of the master, then there must be a wife who indulges him, otherwise how can it be symmetrical.
"You don't spoil him enough? The maids were all given to him, but I didn't find any good seedlings. Si Qin Mi said enviously, it's not that there are no good seedlings, it's that there are no good seedlings like Gardenia Yunyin, who knows the roots, considering Zhuang Xun's character, it's too late to raise now.
"Okay, don't be envious, if you envy again, I can't stand it in my waist." Arching over the snowy peaks of the mountains, Zhuang Xun said fearfully.
"Aren't you quite capable?" Siqin Mi patted Zhuang Xun on the back.
"No, no, this can't." Zhuang Xun admitted defeat and said that with Si Qinmi, he still didn't want other women to get involved, occasionally he could, but he didn't want to for a long time.
"Okay, no, find a place to sit, you're going to do this, hold us." Siqin Mi was amused by Zhuang Xun's tricks.
So Zhuang Xun took the two beauties on the soft couch, and didn't do anything, that is, he was crooked, anyway, the two of them were idle and had nothing to do with him, sticking and playing with them.
After a while, I was tired of playing, so I fell asleep in the arms of the two of them, with my head resting on Siqin Mi's arms and my legs in Li Ruxi's arms.
Feeling Zhuang Xun's even breathing, Si Qinmi smiled at Li Ruxi, very friendly, Li Ruxi held Zhuang Xun's hand and smiled back.
This is also the first time for the two of them to play with Zhuang Xun like this, and the cooperation is quite pleasant, especially for Li Ruxi, because her goal has been achieved.
At the beginning, she envied the relationship between Zhuang Xun and Si Qin Mi, and hoped that she could also join in and become one of them, and now she can step in, and Si Qin Mi does not exclude, she is already very satisfied.
She seems to be able to understand some of Si Qinmi's feelings, such as being reluctant to let her husband suffer, hoping to be happy when she can't be with him, and trying to satisfy him when she can accompany him.
However, the warmth did not last long, as an urgent message arrived.
"The eldest prince of Youguo fled from Zhao and is suspected of returning to Youguo." Si Qinmi's face was hard to say.
"Ah, how dare he, Youguo is now purging his clansmen." Li Ruji also paid attention to the intelligence of Youguo.
"It's just by taking advantage of this east wind, King Youwang is too unscrupulous, I don't know why, what threat can the clan have to him, and he also wants to kill?"
