Chapter 32: Population is Wealth (Special thanks to book friends and book fans for their monthly votes!)

Seeing Emperor Chai Zongxun appear at the city gate, Han Hui, Zhang Yong and more than 700 imperial soldiers saluted together and said in a loud voice:

"See your majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The hundreds of thousands of orphans under the city wall imitated the behavior of the Imperial Guards and knelt down to salute Chai Zongxun. Immediately there was a chorus of childish shouts of "Long live".

Chai Zongxun burst out laughing and said, "Everyone loves you!

good! Han Hui and Zhang Yong, you have brought me so many orphans from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you have carried out my will very well!

Open the city immediately and let the orphans into the city!
Manager Tang, send someone to settle the orphans and live in the arsenal first, and make sure they have two full meals every day!

Soon, I will have my own arrangements for these orphans. "

Tang Qi immediately saluted and accepted the promise, and sent several trusted eunuchs down from the tower.

The general guarding the city gate immediately passed the order, and dozens of Forbidden Army sergeants worked together to open the tall and heavy gate of Chaoyang Gate.

Although there were many orphans under the city wall, there was no confusion. Under the leadership of more than 700 forbidden troops including Han Hui and Zhang Yong, they entered the city gate neatly. Chai Zongxun nodded secretly and said to Han Hui, Zhang Yong and others. Very satisfied with the talent.

It took more than half an hour before all the hundreds of thousands of orphans entered the city. Under the leadership of several palace eunuchs, they headed southeast of Bianjing City towards the newly built Forbidden Army barracks and arsenal.

Han Hui, Zhang Yong and other seven people were waiting at the stone steps of the city gate. When they saw Chai Zongxun coming down from the city tower, they immediately saluted.

After seeing the ceremony, Chai Zongxun sighed: "My dear friends, you have done a great job!

Unexpectedly, there are so many orphans in our territory of Great Zhou. The governors in various places do not know how to sympathize with the sufferings of the people, but I cannot ignore them!
Thanks to my arrangement, these orphans, regardless of gender, will surely become the pillars of our great Zhou Dynasty in the near future!

Hey, Zhang Yong, what's going on with the carriage behind you? Where did such a stunning little girl come from? "

I saw the fifth chaolu being served by two maids given by Wang Yan, the Jiedushi of Jinzhou. Every movement was filled with natural beauty and sexiness, and Yingying stepped out of the carriage.

On the fifth morning, she glanced at Chai Zongxun quickly with her beautiful eyes, and bowed shyly:

"On the fifth day of the morning, I will see you, your majesty! Long live my emperor!"

Chai Zongxun's heart beat wildly a few times, and he felt that his mind was immediately attracted by the Fifth Morning Dew.

Although Wu Chaolu is young, the allure of her appearance and expression is naturally huge. With every frown and smile, she is endearing and lovable. It is exactly like "the boundless spring scenery comes to heaven and earth, and you can taste the beauty of the city and the beauty of the country."

Chai Zongxun said hurriedly: "I love you!" He walked forward in person and reached out to help Wu Chaolu.

Chai Zongxun stared at Wu Chaolu for a long time, feeling his heart wandering.

Chai Zongxun turned to look at Zhang Yong, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Tang Qi behind him:

"Manager Tang, bring Miss Chaolu to the palace and settle down first."

Tang Qi saluted and said, "I obey your order."

Seeing that Chai Zongxun was so concerned about Wu Chaolu's demeanor, Tang Qi immediately led several eunuchs in person to lead Wu Chaolu onto the carriage and went to the palace.

After Chai Zongxun led everyone back to the Huangyi Palace in the palace and sat down, Zhang Yong hurriedly reported to Chai Zongxun in detail about his encounter with Wu Chaolu in Jinzhou.

Chai Zongxun nodded after hearing this, thinking:

"This Fifth Chaolu is truly a natural beauty! Her situation is very similar to that of Chen Yuanyuan, who was the first of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" in the late Ming Dynasty in my previous life.

Her father is also a loyal minister and good official of our great Zhou Dynasty. It was right for me to send Zhang Yong and others to the various states to collect orphans. The fifth surname is quite rare. I remember that it was the surname that was re-named according to the clan members when Qin Shihuang unified Liuhe and divided the royal family and nobles who moved to Tianqi.

He has lived in Shaanxi and Shanxi.

In the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in the previous life and time, there were prime ministers with the fifth surname.

Zhang Yong's chivalrous heart happened to save the Fifth Dynasty from being exposed in danger. Otherwise, it would be a pity that such a peerless beauty would die in beauty! "

Then I thought of Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and other Han people in the late Ming Dynasty who were so unsatisfactory that they fell into the hands of the barbaric slave tribes. Chai Zongxun thought to himself:
"It's so beautiful if you show off your beauty in the fifth morning, but I can't be a foolish king who is obsessed with women."

Chai Zongxun said: "Miss Chaolu's life experience is very pitiful, and she is also the queen of my loyal ministers in Zhou Dynasty!
Zhang Yongqian did a great job!
I will take good care of her and never cause her any further injustice. "

Zhang Yong saluted and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, righteous and wise!"

After a pause, Chai Zongxun continued:

"Dear dear friends, during this trip, we took in orphans from various places in my country. What is the specific situation?
Please tell me in detail. "

Han Hui, Zhang Yong and other six Du Yuhou all spoke to Chai Zongxun in detail about their trip.

The imperial guard team led by seven people encountered similar experiences throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although no one among the governors in various places could figure out why the little emperor brought these orphans to the capital, they all regarded the orphans as local troubles.

Junjue thought it would be the best thing to give all the orphans from Honshu Prefecture to Han Hui, Zhang Yong and other Forbidden Army officers and bring them back to the capital.

Therefore, the governors from all over the country gave "strong" support, fearing that there would be undiscovered orphans in the state, and they were just as active as when they sent officials to collect taxes from the people.

The only difference was the quality of food and the number of carriages provided by the Jiedushi envoys on the return journey.

Seven people, including Han Hui and Zhang Yong, led a team to arrive outside Bianjing City on April 7. After counting the number of orphans, there were more than .

Among them, there are more than 15 people between the ages of 4 and ; more than people between the ages of and ; and more than people between the ages of and .

On the way to the capital, these children were extremely happy because they finally had two full meals, so they all obeyed the orders of Han Hui, Zhang Yong and other sergeants.

After listening to the stories of the seven people in the palace, Chai Zongxun smiled and said:

"These Jiedu envoys from various places are used to showing power and blessing in their local areas, and they don't know the sufferings of the people.

In their eyes, these orphans are just a waste of food, but in my eyes, all the orphans in my country will become the pillars of the country!

Population is wealth! Soon, I will surprise the ruthless bureaucrats, gentry and soldiers from all over the world!
It's already May, and grain from various places will be harvested and collected in mid-to-late July. Under my new water conservancy policy, the output will be much higher than before!

There is no need to worry about feeding these 320,000 orphans.

My dear friends, this trip was quite tiring, so I took a good rest for a few days.

On May 5st, my "Dragon Xiang Army" officially became an army! At that time, all the Ai Qing began to carefully select young people aged 1-12 for me among the more than 15 orphans to join the "Dragon Army" and train every day!

I will also come to the military camp from time to time to teach them! "

Everyone in the hall saluted together and agreed with a loud voice, saying:
"I will obey His Majesty's will! I will train an invincible army for Your Majesty!"
