Chapter 305: The Northern Sweeping Army Sets Out
Yang Youcai was also a little helpless: "His Royal Highness told me that these things inevitably mean something to Niu Danqin, I don't know anything about internal affairs, if I want to catch someone to spy on the news, it's okay, if I am asked to do this, I will definitely have a bad idea." ”
Cheng Xiaolian also smiled: "Isn't there no one to negotiate with me, Confucius followed Lord Qin to the east, and Luo Sen is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, there are still too few people who can handle these things." ”
Yang Youcai frowned: "What about Mr. Gu, they have read sage books all their lives, and they don't have any ideas at all." ”
Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "But they don't have experience in politics, it's okay to be right, if this kind of thing is completely impossible to start, the enemy can be killed when he comes, and there is no one in his territory, so what should I do?" ”
"Then give birth, anyway, as long as there is no war, even if you are born, there will be rewards for giving birth, and there will definitely be more people."
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "What you think is too simple, it takes at least fifteen or six years for a child to grow up, and far water can't quench the thirst of the near, in my opinion, we can steal people." ”
Yang Youcai's eyes widened: "What did you say?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "It's not the stealing person you think, I mean, stealing people from Yunnan, let's declare that people who come over within a year will not be taxed, if it is in normal times, this method will definitely not work, because the homeland is difficult to leave, no one will leave home for that little tax, and only one year, what if we raise the tax after a year?" But now it's different, Wu Sangui fights all the battles, and when the artillery goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold. He's definitely going to increase taxes in Yunnan, so we can steal people. ”
Yang Youcai scratched his head: "What you said makes sense, I have no problem listening to it, but I don't know how to do it, I advise His Highness to ask Rosen's idea." In addition, His Royal Highness can't be too accustomed to him, I think I have to be soft and hard, I went back to him and said, eating our food, holding our money, and pretending to be unyielding to show whom? ”
Cheng Xiaolian hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, Yang Youcai, I'll tell you, but don't be rude, there are not many people who understand internal affairs, in case Rosen remembers that we secretly make something bad, we won't be able to find a grave when we cry." ”
Yang Youcai smiled: "Your Highness, that's what I said, and you also understand that I never do what you don't let me do." ”
Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "It's a pity, except for the land around Chengdu that is full because of our cultivation, the land in other places is wasted." ”
Cheng Xiaolian came to Rosen's mansion, but Rosen still looked like he was ignoring: "Has Your Highness been very idle lately, why did you come to me again?" ”
"I want to ask you one thing, we don't have a source of soldiers now, and the land of Sichuan is not many due to the war, so there is no way to recruit soldiers. Therefore, I plan to use the method of exempting one year of tax to attract people from other places to come to Sichuan to farm, mainly in Lianghu and Yunnan. ”
Rosen snorted: "If you want me to say, unless you can quickly resolve the war and let Sichuan have no war, even if you are exempt from paying taxes, there will be people fleeing to settle here." Even if you are exempt from paying taxes now, who would dare to come? Although the people don't know what the war is all about, but hearsay also knows that Sichuan is at war, who would not even want their lives for a year's worth of taxes? If you lose, won't you have to pay the tax? ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Lao Luo, you may not know very well, if I defeat Wang Pingfan's people, there is no problem, my number is always superior, but after the fight, Wang Pingfan will definitely send people again, and then my number will not be superior, our foundation is weak, the army is scarce, naturally we can't fight hard with other people's wealth, isn't that an egg hitting a stone?" ”
Rosen pouted: "It's not me talking about you, you tell me, why doesn't Wang Pingfan come to beat you now?" Do you want to send a small team of people over? ”
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and replied casually: "He has to keep an eye on Wang ~ Fuchen in Hanzhong." ”
"Isn't this over, he wants to keep an eye on the king~auxiliaries, and even now he has helped the king~auxiliaries to fight, what are you worried about?,You're just a bandit in the eyes of others.,Who is in the mood to care about you?" If you win, will Wu Sangui give them the title of king and marquis? What if we take Shaanxi? ”
Cheng Xiaolian instantly understood: "Lao Luo, thank you for your advice." ”
"Don't be busy thanking me, my daughter wants to eat meat, you want to get me some, now there is no meat on the streets of Sichuan, it's really strange!"
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly, it would be strange if there were people who sold meat, people couldn't afford to eat, where was there something to feed pigs and sheep, even in the inn, the cuisine was replaced with materials, but the process Xiaolian himself had a special place to raise pigs and sheep, and those who were soldiers did not eat meat, where would they have the strength to fight.
"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to send you a pig's hind leg over in a while, and if you lack anything, you can just let someone do it, now you are also the governor of a province, and the problem of eating meat can't be solved, and it will make people laugh when it is passed out."
"It's just that there is no meat sold in the bazaar, where did you get so much nonsense, it's okay to leave quickly, I still have to review the official documents."
Cheng Xiaolian walked out with a smile, and immediately asked someone to send a pig's hind leg to Lawson, what he just asked was much more valuable than this pig's hind leg. According to the news obtained by Yang Youcai, a large number of soldiers and horses in Hanzhong did go to the north.
After Cheng Xiaolian went back, he found Yuan Zonghao: "I plan to recover the three state capitals." ”
Yuan Zonghao smiled when he heard this: "Your Highness, we should have fought a long time ago, you look at the soldiers under your hands, every day in addition to training, they eat and sleep, and they are about to grow into pigs." ”
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him: "Uncle Yuan, I heard that you let them sleep for three hours a day." ”
"It's good to sleep for three hours, it's easy to become stupid when you sleep too much as a soldier, and you still have to fight often to train strong soldiers, and we don't want to let the mountains and rivers army compare."
"Don't worry, there are wars for you, two capitals and thirteen provinces, we only occupy less than one province now, I'm afraid that there will be wars left in your life."
"That dare to be kind, for the sake of Daming, never give up!"
The army was strong, and three days later it went out of Chengdu, this time, Cheng Xiaolian personally went into battle, Qu Songtin stayed in Chengdu, of course, nominally Mu Xiaodi stayed in Chengdu.
Cheng Xiaolian already had an idea in his heart, if he went to Yunnan to pull people, Mu Xiaodi's signboard must be better than him, but the Mu family has taken root in Yunnan for hundreds of years, and he is afraid that his prestige is much more than him.
It's just that Mu Xiaodi is still young now, and Cheng Xiaolian is not very worried about letting him take charge alone, so he put this matter on hold for the time being.
