The scorching midday sun passed through the gaps between the tree trunks, leaving the mottled shadows of the trees on Xiao Ming and the others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After arguing with Pang Yukun, Fiji finally looked at Xiao Ming and waited for Xiao Ming's decision.

It is indeed very troublesome to deal with these royal clansmen, if they are ignored, it will inevitably make Xiao Ming have an unkind and unjust name, after all, in thousands of years of history, even the faint monarch has to take care of the clan.

At this time, Xiao Ming gradually realized that the royal family itself was a huge wealthy family, and the emperor was the leader of this family.

It's just that even so, Xiao Ming is a little reluctant in his heart, he knows the situation of the treasury clearly, and now the situation of the fief itself is not rich, how to raise these clansmen again.

And he has no feelings for these clansmen, one is that Xiao Ming's predecessor has left Beijing since he was a child, and the other is that he is from modern times, and he understands that this is not the way to go on.

The more this royal family multiplied, the more it would become a heavy burden to the state in the long run.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ming said: "It's not to raise, it's not to raise, in this case, this king has a compromise solution." ”

Pang Yukun asked, "How to compromise?" ”

"It's simple, allow the royal family to do business." Xiao Ming said lightly.

In feudal society, the emperor kept a close eye on the imperial family, and would rather raise these people like pigs than let them be self-reliant, afraid that the power and money in the hands of these people would have thoughts about the throne.

After all, they are all the heirs of Gaozu, and if there is no eldest son to inherit the throne, they will fall on the side branches.

"Your Highness, by all means." Fiji was shocked, "This is the rule set by Gaozu at the beginning, it is for the stability of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and these imperial relatives cannot be connived at doing business." ”

Xiao Ming has a headache every time he hears about the ancestral family law, maybe in the eyes of these people, Xiao Yuanzhi is very great, but in Xiao Ming's opinion, he is the monarch of the feudal dynasty after all, and their own thinking is very backward.

So he said: "Since this is the rule set by Gaozu, then this king asks you if the Great Yu Kingdom is stable now?" ”

"This ......" Fiji suddenly stopped talking.

"As the saying goes, if you follow the times, you are a true hero, how can you still abide by some stubborn rules in the current civil turmoil in Dayu?" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Fiji was shocked in his heart, even Xiao Wenxuan did not dare to say such a rebellious word, the ancestral family law is the foundation of the country, if this is in Chang'an, it will inevitably be opposed by many officials.

It's just that this is Qingzhou, and when he saw Pang Yukun's smile, he understood that this matter was irreversible.

Xiao Ming looked at Fiji, Fiji at this time looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he understood that he had said something crazy in this era, because the rules set by the founding emperor of the Great Yu State were equivalent to the Constitution.

Now Xiao Ming is violating the Constitution, is blatantly breaking the rules, basically equivalent to the President of the United States does not recognize the "Declaration of Independence", if it were not for the fact that Qingzhou is basically controlled by the officials he has cultivated, it is estimated that soon a large number of officials will kneel in front of the palace and ask him to take back his life.

"What His Highness said is reasonable, after all, this Great Chongqing Country is going to change the sky." Fiji's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Pang Yukun's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of a smile, Fiji has compromised.

In fact, compared with Fiji, he understands Xiao Ming's mind better, the country is a country, and the country of Dayu is the country of Dayu, and this rule will naturally have to be changed.

Xiao Ming nodded, "In that case, you inform these royal clansmen, change the king of Japan to meet with them, and make it clear, today's world is no longer the world it used to be, and those who adapt measures to local conditions can maintain their wealth and prosperity for a long time." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The two said in unison.

This time he set this strategy, Xiao Ming basically didn't want to care about these royal relatives anymore, after giving the last batch of silver, they could do whatever they liked, at most he would take care of a little bit in business.

He was determined not to spend millions of taels of silver every year to support these people.

After saying this, the two entered the Qingzhou camp, and at this time, some new recruits were watching the daily training of the Qingzhou army.

Different from before, many training facilities have been established in the Qingzhou camp, and these settings were made by the generals after reading his "Soldier Training Drill Code".

In the training ground of the battalion, there are runways, horizontal bars, climbing rockeries, single-plank bridges, and quagmire, and the training program of recruits is also extremely modern, including 5 kilometers, 100 meters, single parallel bars and one practice, push-ups, sit-ups, long jump, and grappling.

In addition to these physical trainings, there are also technical trainings such as arrays, bullet loading, three-stage shooting, rolling, and climbing, as well as backpacking and carrying equipment.

Looking at the soldiers who were training on the training ground, the eyes of these recruits who had passed the inspection were full of curiosity.

As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run, and the training of veterans in the past is completely different from the current training method, and now these soldiers have all kinds of strange movements, which really makes them see.

It was also the first time for Fiji to see the training of Qingzhou soldiers, and this strange appearance made him shake his head frequently, but he understood that it was this kind of training that made Qingzhou soldiers stronger.

But he was still surprised, when it was noon, Xiao Ming led them to the canteen of the Qingzhou camp, and when the food was served, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Highness, this is what ordinary soldiers eat?" ”

At this time, Fiji was facing three white-flour steamed buns, a leek egg, a braised pork, a celery shrimp and a bowl of millet porridge.

Three of these dishes are stir-fried.

Pang Yukun said with a smile: "Elder Feige, you now understand why the military expenditure is so high. ”

"Understood, these soldiers are eating as much as the nobles." Fiji said as he ate it with chopsticks, and the taste of the dish made him even more impressed.

Xiao Ming said: "Today is our luck, catch up with the meat once a week, this is not every day, if it is not for the Qingzhou Army to raise pigs themselves, the soldiers will not have meat to eat." ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming has only been here for three years, and the real government reform has only taken more than a year, and it will take time for this waste to be revived, and the current material of the country is still not rich enough, after all, even if you raise a pig, it will take a year to kill, and there is no hormone to ripen here.

"In this case, this is much stronger than the food of the forbidden army, no wonder the Qingzhou soldiers are strong and strong, well-fed, and high-intensity training, can this soldier not be strong?" Fiji is becoming more and more confident about the future, and the matter of the royal family is also behind it.

And when the three of them were inspecting the recruitment of recruits, Xiao Ming's order arrived in Yangzhou.

Ye Qingyun, who received the order, immediately ordered the soldiers to retaliate with the Haoqiang of Yangzhou City and its nearby prefectures and counties, and there was a shortage of food and grass in the two days of occupying Yangzhou City, and he had already received the news that the Hao clan in the nearby prefectures and counties seemed to be a little restless.
