After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 111 Chapter 111
Emperor Pei narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips was a bit sarcastic, but the words he said were very reasonable, "Everyone has the love of beauty, so there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, you have spread the branches and leaves for my great Pei royal family. Not to mention, he is much stronger than your brothers, it is too late for Father to be happy, you, there is no need to be so terrified..."

Pei Jing was overjoyed when he heard that, this is the affirmation of his father, he saluted and shouted, "Thank you, father."

"Well, the father is old, and I only hope that the Dapei royal family can prosper and pass it on from generation to generation." Emperor Pei's words came from the heart. The Dapei Dynasty has only been established for a hundred years, but life is not easy.

Dapei is located in a fertile place in the Central Plains. There is Datu Kingdom in the north, which comes to harass it from time to time. In the west, there are small countries like Ata Kingdom, which quietly peep and watch. There are many island countries on the east side of the sea, watching...

There is probably no one who is an emperor who does not want his dynasty to continue forever, but the fact is that dynasties change, the country changes hands, and the world is changing and changing.

"Okay, you work hard, go back and tell the Feng family that when a son is born, I will give her a promotion. Go." Emperor Pei was not in a good mood, and he was not in the mood to deal with a stupid son, so he threw a bait , and drove him away.

"Thank you, Father, my son will definitely work hard." Pei Jing happily retreated, his mind already filled with fantasies.

To promote her status, he is already a prince, and the quota of concubines and concubines around him has long been full, where else can she be promoted?Could it be...

Thinking of his father's words, heirs, heirs, this is his greatest advantage.

What's the use of the elder brother being noble, he has been married for so many years and has no children, no matter how capable the third brother is, what's the use, he's not close to women.

Haha, if you choose the two of them as the prince, there will be no successors.Waiting to adopt his son?It's better to let him go directly to the position.

Father is not stupid.

King Jin walked away from the palace with bold and confident steps, in a good mood.

After Pei Sheng returned to the mansion, he began to arrange various matters. It was not a day or two for him to leave.

The most important thing is to get the spies from all over the place to act, especially the land of Datu and the northern border.

Pei Sheng has not set off here yet, but the first battle has already ushered in the northern border. More than ten thousand Datu soldiers attacked Fengzhou City in the northern border overnight. Although General Situ led the army to rescue in time, many people in the city Still had a hard time.

When the news reached the capital, it was inevitable that there would be another turmoil. King Shen mobilized his troops overnight and rushed to Beijing.

And in various parts of the country, military service has once again started in a lively manner.

Within three days, [-] new recruits will be assembled and their heads will be divided among the states, counties, towns, and villages. This will be implemented immediately without delay.

Sanhe Village has just experienced floods, served hard labor, and now is serving in the military again, and the people in the village suddenly panicked and sighed.

Village head Gu Shanchong called a meeting of heads of households to discuss military service.Qi Qi is a female householder, and there is no adult male in the family, so she doesn't need to be famous, but out of curiosity, she also went to listen.

Sanhe Village will have 38 heads this time, which is not a lot. There are a total of 94 households in the village. Excluding some widowed households with no adult males and families with scholarly achievements who can be exempted from military service, there are still [-] households that need to give heads.

"It's all here. I don't want to talk nonsense. This time, 38 heads will be paid. Whoever pays the money and whoever pays the people, let's divide it." Gu Shanchong is also used to doing this, and the villagers seem to be used to it. Divided into two sides.

Qi Qi took a look. On one side were wealthy households with small assets in the village, and on the other were poor households from poor families.

Gu Shanchong counted the heads and said, "There are only six left, Chengru puts a lottery."

Qi Qi saw that Gu Chengru brought two bamboo tubes, each filled with bamboo sticks, took out the bamboo sticks and saw that one bucket of bamboo sticks had red heads, and the other bucket of bamboo sticks had colorless heads.

Gu Chengru skillfully counted, six red-headed sticks and 56 colorless sticks were placed in a bamboo tube, shaken and mixed, and placed in the middle of the table.

"Fate, please."

Everyone stared at the bamboo tube closely, as if they wanted to see through the bamboo tube.

Then, one by one, as if they were dead, they began to draw lots, and when they drew colorless ones, they patted their chests and secretly rejoiced.

"Okay, now that we have made a decision, let's hurry up and prepare. It is still the old rule. Those who are serving in the military will gather at Yinshi village tomorrow morning and send you to the town. Those who do not need to serve in the military should pay quickly, ten taels of silver per household. "

After Gu Shanchong finished explaining, everyone dispersed one after another, without any smile on their faces.

Just as Qi Qi was about to leave, the village chief stopped him, "Qi Niang, please borrow the carriage tomorrow morning and take them to the town."

"Okay, no problem, I'll ask Uncle Bao to wait at the village head." Qi Qi readily agreed.

"well."

"Uncle, I want to ask, what is the ten taels of silver collected for?" Qi Qi asked when he had doubts in his heart.

"Oh, this one has to be handed in. Although the village only needs 38 heads, the rest of the people who don't serve in the military also have to hand in the money for exemption." The village chief is also very helpless. They have worked hard for a year without eating or drinking. The harvest, just like that.

Qi Qi nodded, understood.Unexpectedly, the military service of the Da Pei Dynasty was like this.

I don't know whether to say good or bad.

"Uncle, I'll go back first."

When it came out and saw a crowd in twos and threes, it left with the crowd and listened to gossip again.

"Hey, such a hasty conscription, this time I don't know where the fight started again. When will this day be the end?"

"Our place is pretty good. At least there is no war. It's just that those who have served in the military have suffered. I don't know if we can go back."

"Yeah, the last sudden conscription was five years ago, 53 people went there, and less than half of them came back."

"This time, hey..."

"The family has some spare money. Originally, they wanted to renovate the house a few years ago and hire a wife for the tree root. Now it's over. More than half of the money has gone, and nothing can be done."

"Okay, it's better than letting the children go to the battlefield. Anyway, life is safe, and the daughter-in-law will marry sooner or later. There is no rush."

"That's all I can think of..."

Turning the corner at the intersection, Qi Qi broke away from the crowd, and when he continued to walk towards the east end of the village, he saw that the father and son walking in front seemed to have an argument.

She knew the two very well, they were Yang Daqing and his son Dashan.

Just now she seemed to see Yang Daqing standing on the side of going to serve in the military, so, who are they?

"Father, you just agree. Let me go to the military service this time, and you stay to take care of your mother and earn money to support your family." Yang Dashan pulled his father's sleeve and looked at him stubbornly.

Yang Daqing kept shaking his head, "No, you are still young, what can you do on the battlefield, no."

"I'm not young anymore, I'll be sixteen after the new year. Father, mother can't live without you, and the family also needs you..." Yang Dashan said persistently and seriously, "Father, let me go."
