The barbarians in the north moved into the northern county, and if they were moved directly into the place where the common people of Great Xia gathered, it would likely cause conflicts between the barbarians and the common people of Great Xia.

But if there is no communication between the two sides, it is unlikely that the barbarians want to completely Daxia.

So Lu Chen gave a compromise plan, and set up some counties in Beijun specifically for barbarians to live, of course, every household must be registered and strictly controlled, but as long as they are allowed, they can also enter the city where the Great Xia people live.

The most important point is that the relatives of those barbarian captives can also visit the barbarian captives directly, which makes the barbarian women who have just moved into the northern county very happy.

But some people are happy, some people are worried, those barbarian women who have died men, even when they go to the camp of barbarian captives, they will not see their men.

And there are a lot of such women, the barbarians are not monogamous, but polygamous, and 200,000 men died at once, although there are also some of the Beixian King tribes, but there are also more than 100,000 men gone, you can imagine how many widows are left in the Wolf King tribe.

All of a sudden, there are so many barbarian widows in North County, which is not a good thing for North County.

Early in the morning, after Lu Chen got up, he simply ate something and went to the study.

In the past few days, he has been running to Yelu Nanyan almost every day, although he is very happy, but Lu Chen has not been soaked in it because of Yelu Nanyan's gentleness, and he has been doing what he should do every day as a vassal king.

Now the study in the outer courtyard is his office space, and basically after getting up in the morning, he will go to the study to deal with all kinds of political affairs.

Lu Chen didn't feel busy when he came to Beijun, but suddenly things in Beijun became a lot, Lu Chen stayed in the study from morning to night almost every day, and most of the time he even ate in the study.

This also made Lu Chen realize that there were too few people working under him, and to be precise, there were too few civil officials.

Although Beijun has its own set of administrative teams, the former Beijun does not need to be reformed at all, and most of the time it is ruled by inaction, and those officials in Beijun basically do not work, just waiting for the imperial court to pay salaries.

Now that he wants to reform the entire North County, the first thing he faces is the problem of insufficient officials, and the second is that most of the officials are not motivated to work, and many of his tasks cannot be completed in the first time.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at the information about the officials on the table, and immediately frowned.

The world is as black as a crow, and although Beijun is relatively poor, those officials still have a place to fish for oil and water.

Not only is it corrupt, but it also doesn't work, and such officials are no different from those wine bags and rice bags.

It's time to clean it up.

At this moment, the voice of a maid came from outside the study.

"Lord Wang, Lord Li and Master Mo are here."

Lu Chen said lightly: "Let them all come in." ”

Lu Chen's voice fell, and the door of the study slowly opened, and then Li Rui and more than two dozen people entered the study.

At this time, the study room was a little more crowded.

Normally, the vassal kings have their own agendas, but after Lu Chen came to Beijun, he basically didn't deal with political affairs at the beginning, and stayed in the Beiwang Mansion all day, so the main hall of deliberations was not built.

Li Rui thought at first that the king of the north would not care about anything anyway, and it would cost a lot of money to build a hall for the king of the north, so he adhered to the idea that he could save the province, and he simply didn't bother to build the hall for the king of the north.

However, now Li Rui has discovered that the North King is not indifferent at all, but it is not time, and the North King will definitely make a big move next, and his previous perfunctory attitude will definitely not work, otherwise sooner or later the North King will take off the hat of the county guard.

After entering the study, everyone immediately saluted Lu Chen and said, "See the prince, the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!! ”

Lu Chen nodded slightly, and then said, "What's the matter, say it one by one." ”

Different from the imperial court in the capital, Lu Chen's "small court" is still relatively orderly, and when there is something to say, it will not buzz like a fly as soon as it comes up.

At this time, Li Rui took a step forward and said: "Lord, now that the affairs of Beijun are gradually increasing, the study room of the Beiwang Mansion is no longer suitable as a place to discuss political affairs, and it is time to repair the government palace." ”

In Great Xia, the feudal kings who were divided out had a great deal of power, and they had almost any power except for the fact that the territory nominally belonged to Great Xia.

The fiefdom where the vassal king is located is also called a feudal state, and each vassal king has his own administrative team and his own council hall.

Lu Chen didn't care about things before, and it didn't matter if there was a place to discuss political affairs, but now it's different.

As the number of their administrative team grows and the number of things they do, they can't still be crammed into such a small study room when discussing political affairs in the future.

Now there are only 20 or so people in the study, and if there are more and more officials under the staff or subordinates of the king of Bei, when the time comes, they will have to stand in the courtyard to discuss political affairs.

It's definitely not going to work.

After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen said lightly: "Okay, this matter will be left to Master Li to do." ”

Li Rui immediately said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

Li Rui then retreated to his position.

Lu Chen continued at this time: "By the way, the council hall will be built next to the North Palace, don't be too far away. ”

Li Rui said: "Don't worry, when the North Mansion was built, we reserved the location of the Council Hall next to the North Palace. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't ask Li Rui why he didn't build the council hall in the first place, most likely because Li Rui's group of officials in Beijun estimated that they didn't need the council hall at all, so they simply didn't even build a place to discuss political affairs for themselves.

Lu Chen didn't plan to dwell on these questions either, he continued to ask, "What else is there to do with the others." ”

Mu Changtian stepped forward at this time and said: "Lord Wang, the number of howitzers is not much now, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion have nothing to do most of the time, and they can't even carry out training. ”

There are only 1,000 shells for howitzers, and after the First World War between the Wanning River Valley and the barbarians, the shells have basically run out.

Mu Jingwu, who was in charge of the artillery battalion, didn't know if Lu Chen still had artillery shells in his hands, and they didn't even dare to use live ammunition to train now, for fear that they would be completely gone after the fight.

Mu Jingwu's idea was that if there were no more artillery shells, it would be a bit of a waste to continue to maintain an artillery battalion of 10,000 people, and it would be better to divide these soldiers into other barracks, so he asked Mu Changtian to mention the matter of the artillery battalion to Lu Chen and see what Lu Chen thought.

After hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment.

This is indeed a problem.

They don't have the ability to make howitzers now, and although the howitzer reward given to him by the system helped him survive the crisis in North County, after the shells are fired, if the system doesn't have a follow-up shell reward, then these howitzers can basically just be left to eat ashes.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

It was only then that he remembered that his women hadn't conceived a child for him for a long time.

Their own system is a multi-child and multi-blessing system, and only when they are pregnant or give birth to a child can they have richer rewards.

In fact, he was not idle during this time, he had to work almost every night.

Of course, the reason why Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiaozhou didn't get pregnant so quickly was mainly because they gave birth to a child, so Lu Chen controlled it, and he deliberately didn't let the three of them get pregnant, for fear that their bodies would be damaged.

Although his rejuvenation hand can help them recover from their injuries, but giving birth to a child, who knows whether they will lose something that cannot be recovered, so Lu Chen is still a little restrained in this regard.

However, Wang Tianci is different from Bai Qingqing and the recent Yelu Nanyan, he takes special care of the three women, such as Yelu Nanyan, since Yelu Nanyan came to the palace, Lu Chen even spends a few hours on her every day.

The expression on Lu Chen's face kept changing, he pondered for a long time, and felt that it would not work like this, Wang Tianci, Bai Qingqing and Yelu Nanyan were all martial artists, the first problem was that martial artists were not so easy to get pregnant, and another problem was that martial artists could use their skills to discharge impurities from their bodies.

It can be said that if the three of them do not want to conceive their own children, there is no way to force them to conceive their own children.

Then do you want to focus on your princess and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou again?

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak for a long time, Mu Changtian continued: "Lord Wang, if you still have howitzer shells, the artillery battalion can not be dismantled, but the minister thinks that they can't be idle every day. ”

Mu Changtian thought in his heart, it was very likely that the North King deliberately did not take out the howitzer shells, after all, the destructive power of this terrifying killing weapon was too great, and if it was aimed at the North King Mansion, there was no need to say what the consequences would be.

This kind of big killing weapon must be in the hands of the North King.

Lu Chen said: "General Mu, put aside the matter of the artillery battalion for now, do the others have anything else?" ”

Seeing that Lu Chen said this, Mu Changtian didn't say anything more.

"Yes, lord."

The words fell, and Mu Changtian retreated to his position.

At this time, Qin Yushan stood up and said: "Lord Wang, the barbarians of the Heavenly Wolf King tribe have entered the North County, according to your plan, General Xiao will arrange them in the six counties of the North County, but General Xiao asked his subordinates a question, and he asked his subordinates to tell you." ”

"The barbarians died more than 100,000 men at once, and now there are many widows in the Heavenly Wolf King tribe, if each widow builds a house, then it needs to build twice as many houses as originally estimated."

"Secondly, after these barbarian women entered the Northern County, they were not very familiar with the life of Great Xia, and they didn't know how to farm, so it was difficult to survive."

"General Xiao hopes that the prince can think of a way to solve the problem of these barbarian widows."

Hearing this question, Lu Chen immediately said: "This king has been thinking about how to solve this problem recently, and it just so happens that you are all here today, so you can discuss it and see if you can discuss a good solution." ”

As soon as Lu Chen's words fell, Li Rui, the old fritter, immediately said: "Lord Wang, the people of Beijun are poor, some single men have never been able to marry a daughter-in-law, barbarian women are hard-working and hard-working, and the minister thinks that those single men will like it very much." ”

"It's better to distribute those barbarian widows to those single men in Great Xia, so that not only can we solve the problem of the poor people in Beijun not being able to marry a daughter-in-law, but also solve the problem that barbarian widows can't survive."

As soon as Li Rui's words fell, Mu Xingping said on the side: "Lord Li, your idea is not bad, but the common people of Great Xia have a long hatred for the barbarians, are the common people of Great Xia really willing to marry those widows of the barbarians?" ”

Hearing this, Li Rui smiled and said: "Captain Mo, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry you are, those bachelors have been single for a long time, and they all have clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes when they see a cow, how can they care if their daughter-in-law is a barbarian woman." ”

"Besides, there is no difference between the barbarian women and the women of Great Xia in terms of appearance, why don't they marry?"

Regarding Li Rui's words, Mu Xingping didn't know how to refute them, so he simply didn't say them.

Lu Chen opened his mouth at this time and said: "Lord Li's method is good, and this king also has this intention, I don't know if the rest of you have any other way?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen glanced at the other people in the study, but no one spoke again.

Lu Chen was a little speechless.

There were more than 20 people in the study, and as a result, Li Rui and Li Rui's two men were civil officials, and the others were all military generals.

He can't use military generals to govern Beijun!

Lu Chen then said: "Since no one has other opinions, then this matter is decided. ”

"By the way, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the common people of Beijun to marry barbarian widows, this king has decided to make Nayelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao the king's side concubines in a few days."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian said with some concern: "Lord Wang, if you marry a barbarian woman as a side concubine, this is likely to cause dissatisfaction in the imperial court. ”

After all, Mu Changtian has been an official in the capital for decades, and he knows the situation of the imperial court very well, once Lu Chen really does this, a bunch of ministers will definitely impeach Lu Chen at that time.

Those ministers in the capital will definitely say that the king of the north is a prince after all, and he actually accepts a barbarian woman as a concubine, and another is a widow, which damages the royal face.

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "The imperial court will definitely be dissatisfied with what this king has done in Beijun, but in the next few months, they don't have the heart to care about what this king has done in Beijun." ”

Mu Changtian reacted instantly, Emperor Xia was about to use a knife against the family, those ministers in the imperial court had more or less something to do with the family, Great Xia was about to be chaotic, and those officials in the capital would definitely not care too much about what the Northern King had done in Beijun.

Lu Chen said: "Okay, this matter is settled, let's talk about the next thing." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen glanced at everyone again, and his eyes finally fell on Wen Renlie and Xuanyuan Chen.

"General Xuanyuan, I don't know what this king told you last time, did you tell Dayu City, are the people of Dayu City willing to move to Beijun?"
