Qian Song

Chapter 80 Young and Strong
...

When approaching Yangzhou City, the guard horse army led by Li Cun caught up with the former guard guard escorting the prisoners and spoils.

The two armies joined together and triumphed together.

Many Yangzhou people saw that the Huben army had captured tens of thousands of Song troops, and seized a mountain of spoils, and they became more and more eager to vote for the Huben army.

——It’s really not that Yangzhou people are not loyal to Zhao Song, it’s that the Huben army gave too much.

Literati can become officials when they go to the Huben Army, and they will be given land, houses, high salaries, and wives. In short, only you can’t think of it.

Even if there are literati in the family who are willing to vote for the Huben Army, they can be exempted from public trial as long as the family is not particularly dissatisfied with the public. Land deeds, IOUs, ships, armor, food, cloth, horses, livestock, iron bars, horns, cowhide, tendon, sheepskin, arrow shafts, feathers and other strategic materials that you own need to be handed over without ransacking your home.

Not a literati?Is there any craft?

The Huben army recruits all kinds of craftsmen, as long as there is a skill, the Huben army wants it, and the skilled craftsmen enjoy no lower treatment than literati.

The same is true for the boatmen, no, it should be said that the salary of the boatmen is even higher.

Not a literati, and no craftsmanship, does the Huben Army want it?

Also, those who are physically strong can serve as soldiers in the Huben Army, and the treatment is also good.

Say I'm not a literati, I don't have skills, and I don't want to be a soldier. Does the Huben Army want it?

If you want to be a peasant, you will be paid a lot of wages, and you can even get a small amount of land.

Moreover, as long as the above-mentioned people come to join the Huben Army, the Huben Army will not only take care of them, but also their families - I dare not say anything else, at least their families can have enough food, and have something to do and get paid .

In all fairness, who wouldn't be tempted by the treatment given by Huben Army?
Now the Huben army has defeated the Song army and returned.

This seems to indicate that the Huben army is not the kind of armed force that will be easily wiped out by the Song army. It may not be possible to separate one side, or even overthrow the rule of Zhao Song.

Undoubtedly, this will make those who are already tempted to join the army even more tempted.

He played sports for several days in a row, his body was as strong as Li Cun's, so he couldn't help but sleep a little longer on the first day back.

At three o'clock in the morning, Li Cuncai washed and dressed under the service of the two newly promoted young women who were sleeping last night, and then had breakfast under the service of more than 20 newly promoted young women and young women who were waiting to be promoted selected from Yangzhou by Li Cao officials.

After the meal, Li Cun took Liang Hongyu to the government office of Yangzhou, intending to hand out the military rewards obtained by the soldiers of the Huben Army in the past few days, and deal with the political affairs accumulated in the past few days by the way.

After leaving the temporary residence, Li Cun changed his previous treatment of Liang Hongyu equally, but touched Liang Hongyu's lower abdomen with a happy face, and asked, "Is she really pregnant?"

This was only known when Li Cun came back yesterday.

In fact, Liang Hongyu was not the only one who was pregnant with Li Cun's child. Fang Baihua sent Li Cun a message through Wu Desi a few days ago that Li Cun's seven concubines, including Qian Shi, Gu Lin, and Tong Zhen, were all pregnant. up.

Li Cun is very satisfied with this result, which proves that he is young and vigorous.

The point is that in this feudal society, the prosperity of offspring can largely stabilize one's regime.

Moreover, the survival rate of newborns in this era is too low. Under such circumstances, the only way to ensure that Li Cun has enough heirs is to have more children—as many as he can.

In addition, any woman who gave birth to Li Cun's children must be more closely tied to Li Cun's family.

Furthermore, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.

When Li Cun's children grow up, if Li Cun has not overthrown Zhao Song and replaced him at that time, his son can help Li Cun conquer the world, and his daughter can marry Li Cun's important officials. Of course, Li Cun reckons that he should not be so useless. It's not that it won't be possible to overturn Zhao Song and replace it in ten or twenty years.

But it doesn't matter, after Li Cun conquers the world, Li Cun's children can also help Li Cun stabilize the world.

The reason why the Great Mongol Empire was able to occupy one-fifth of the world's territory was not because Temujin could give birth, and possibly even gave birth to hundreds or even thousands of children.

In short, in this feudal society, population is the most powerful force.

Therefore, Li Cun was very happy to learn that so many women were pregnant with his children.

What makes Li Cun even more happy is that Liang Hongyu, who is very famous in history, is also pregnant with his own child.

Liang Hongyu also had a happy expression on her face, but she still said worriedly: "During this march and battle, I am pregnant with a child, won't it be a drag on the officials?"

in fact--

Liang Hongyu was mainly afraid that Li Cun would leave her at home. She didn't want to be like the canaries that Li Cun raised, and it was difficult to see Li Cun.

Li Cun flicked Liang Hongyu's forehead: "Don't worry, I won't leave you at home."

Is Liang Hongyu, who is not on the battlefield, still the anti-golden heroine who does not give in to her men?
To be honest, Li Cun would rather Liang Hongyu die in a horse leather shroud on the battlefield than see her raising her husband and raising her children at home.

Of course, this is also because Li Cun has no shortage of women who can support his husband and teach his children.

Liang Hongyu knew that Li Cun doted on her, and treated her equally at home, which was also protecting her.

What makes Liang Hongyu more comfortable is that Li Cun understands her and understands what she really wants.

Liang Hongyu couldn't help but said softly: "Thank you, officer~"

Li Cun said with a serious expression: "Thank you, but you have to remember that the battlefield is ruthless, and there can be no invincible person. If one day you lose in battle..."

Liang Hongyu resolutely said: "Only the dead Liang family, no living Hongyu!"

What Li Cun wanted was Liang Hongyu's words. He could pamper Liang Hongyu, even indulge Liang Hongyu, but he must not be a living king, this was his bottom line for his own woman.

Li Cun didn't say anything, and acquiesced in Liang Hongyu's promise to him.

When a group of people came to the government office, Li Cun saw the tall public trial platform at a glance.

Li Cun seldom intervened in the matter of public trial, but handed it over to the officials of Xingcao.

However, before handing over this matter to the officials of Xingcao, Li Cun specifically told them that God has the virtue of being good at life. According to public opinion, one must know how to be flexible and wise. Of course, those officials, gentry, gentry and nobles who are tyrannical, evil, rich and unkind, and harm one party must not be condoned. The Huben Army has never been afraid of killing people since its birth.

In short, Li Cun has become less and less concerned about the specific matters of the public trial.

In fact, not only the public trial, but also other government affairs, Li Cun also let go of all the officials under him.

But Li Cun is now mainly an overview, grasping the big and letting go of the small.

Even one day, if Li Cun has a few executive talents in his hands, Li Cun may even share some of the burden of the overview.

Of course, if you throw your hands away and don't care about anything, that's definitely not okay.

When passing by the public trial stand, Li Cun glanced at the public trial stand, and then couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh": "Huh~ There is still someone who can get down from the public trial stand alive?!"
