More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 152 Xuanyuan Yunqi
Time flies, and half a month is fleeting.

Winter has already arrived, and now people are all wrapped in thick fur clothes, even Lu Chen is the same.

Warriors have a certain resistance to the cold. A master like Lu Chen is not afraid of the cold at all. Even if Lu Chen does not wear such thick clothes, there is no problem. But not afraid of the cold does not mean that he cannot feel the cold. The cold wind blows on his body , still feel a little uncomfortable.

Most of the high-level warriors are like this, such as Bai Qingqing, they also put on thick clothes.

Winter made Lu Chen feel a little uncomfortable. Her women were all wrapped in thick fur clothes. The originally graceful lines were covered by the clothes, and there was no way to show their perfect figure.

But there is no way, he can't change the weather.

The coming of winter has also brought many problems to Beijun. At this time, Lu Chen has not realized what troubles Beijun will encounter in winter. He has been preparing for the southward move of King Beixian for the past half month, so He didn't pay much attention to the political affairs of Beijun.

In the early morning, Lu Chen woke up in the nephrite fragrance of Yelu Nanyan, and after having some breakfast with Yelu Nanyan, Lu Chen went to the study as usual.

When he came to the door of the study, the important officials and generals of Beijun were already waiting at the door.

Now they will come to the study together every five days, and then report to Lu Chen the latest situation in Beijun and discuss some things that happened in Beijun.

In the beginning, Lu Chen actually had no rules for reporting things, but gradually Li Rui and the others formed a habit, and Lu Chen simply stipulated that every five days, discuss major issues in Beijun.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, Li Rui and the others immediately bowed and said, "My lord!"

"My lord is a thousand years old!"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, and went straight into the study, "Come in."

Afterwards, everyone followed Lu Chen into the study room. Today's study room seemed even more crowded because there were more people participating in the discussion.

Basically, as long as officials hold important positions in Beijun after their loyalty reaches [-], Lu Chen will allow them to participate in the discussion.

Seeing the more and more crowded study room, Lu Chen thought to himself that fortunately the construction of the Yizheng Hall has already started, and the temporary Yizheng Hall should be built soon, and then there is no need to continue to squeeze in this study room.

At this time, Lu Chen glanced at the crowd, and then said: "Old rules, if you have anything to say, tell them one by one."

Hearing this, Li Rui stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, the severe winter has come. Although Beijun successfully resisted the barbarian looting this year, many people still lack clothing and food. Do we need porridge this year?"

The people in Beijun have always been poor. Even though Lu Chen has exempted them from a lot of agricultural taxes, they are still very poor. It is very difficult for most people to fill their stomachs.

This is why every time Beiwangfu recruits workers, there are always many people who want to become workers in Beiwangfu.

As long as you enter the Beiwang Mansion and become a worker in the Beiwang Mansion, in the eyes of the people in Beijun, you will no longer be afraid of starvation or cold.

After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Continue to give out porridge, but this year, Beiwangfu will give some money to buy food, and then we will give out porridge in the name of Beiwangfu."

Li Rui understood what Lu Chen meant in an instant. Lu Chen was planning to buy people's hearts, but this is understandable. After all, Lu Chen is now the vassal king of Beijun, and the entire Beijun is already Lu Chen's feudal kingdom. As the king of the feudal kingdom, Buying people's hearts is normal.

Li Rui immediately said, "Yes, my lord."

Lu Chen asked: "Does Master Li have anything else to do?"

At this time, Li Rui glanced at the generals headed by Mu Changtian, and then continued: "My lord, recently the people in Yancheng City complained that they could not buy wood. They claimed that the Wanning River Valley and some forests were destroyed by the Yancheng army. It was surrounded, and the woodcutters couldn't get in to cut wood."

"Winter is coming. If there is not enough wood, many people in Beijun will freeze to death this year."

Hearing this, Lu Chen froze for a moment.

Lu Chen himself is a master. Although he can feel the cold, he is not afraid of the cold. It is precisely because he is not afraid of the cold that he has no concept of winter, and even completely forgot about the fact that people will freeze to death in winter.

After all, he had no direct relationship with him, so Lu Chen usually didn't pay attention to it, but after hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen came to his senses.

The heating problem is indeed a troublesome thing.

After Li Rui's words fell, Lu Chen glanced at Mu Changtian and his generals, and at this moment Mu Changtian stood up and said, "My lord, there are currently Beijun military camps in the forests around Yancheng, or there are Beijun's secrets hidden." , so the subordinates ordered soldiers from Beijun to block most of the areas."

Lu Chen actually knew this, especially in the area where the artillery battalion was located. A large forest was allotted to Mu Jingwu's artillery battalion. This was mainly because he was afraid that spies would discover some secrets of Beijun.

Blocking those forests is what it should be.

However, the heating problem of ordinary people should indeed be solved.

Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "General Mu, after you leave the Northern Prince's Mansion later, open some unimportant areas to the common people, and don't let the common people freeze. If the common people freeze to death, next year we will return How to build Beijun."

Mu Changtian said: "Yes, my lord, after I left the Northern Palace, I immediately asked the soldiers to release some restrictions in the forest areas."

After the words were finished, Mu Changtian retreated, and Li Rui also retreated to where he was standing before.

Lu Chen glanced at the crowd, and asked, "Is there anything else going on?"

Mu Changtian stood up again and said, "My lord, the barracks has recruited 5 new soldiers so far. Including the original Beijun soldiers and black cavalry, the entire Beijun now has 12 soldiers. Do we need to continue to recruit new recruits?"

Hearing Mu Changtian talk about the soldiers, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's not needed for now, Beijun can't support too many soldiers."

The soldiers in Beijun were basically peasant soldiers, and the soldiers recruited by Mu Changtian were not strictly regular soldiers at all. They only trained in normal times and went back when they were farming. Their combat effectiveness was very weak.

Lu Chen's plan is to professionalize the soldiers of Beijun in the future and make them professional soldiers. This is the case with the current Black Cavalry, and the Black Cavalry is completely raised by the Beiwang Palace.

However, if you want to support 10,000+ professional soldiers, this will put a huge pressure on the finances of Beijun and Beiwangfu, which is not yet possible.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money and food.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian said, "I understand."

Then Mu Changtian retreated to where he was standing just now.

After Mu Changtian returned to his original position, Xuanyuan Chen stood up and said, "My lord, the craftsmen you want have already arrived in Yancheng. When I came to the North Palace in the morning, those craftsmen were already waiting for you at the gate of the city."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, "So fast?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised. He thought it would take at least a month or two for these craftsmen to reach Yancheng. He didn't expect to come to Yancheng from Dayu City in just over half a month. Now his gunpowder and red clothes The cannon is ready for mass manufacture.

Maybe he could prepare a big surprise for the King of Northern Xian when he led his army to Beijun.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen continued to say to Xuanyuan Chen: "When the morning meeting is over, I will go with you to meet them."

After talking about the craftsmen, they discussed some topics about the development of Beijun, such as the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and tax issues.

But from the beginning to the end, Lu Chen never mentioned the topic of dismissing officials.

In fact, Lu Chen had long wanted to deal with those officials in Beijun, but he faced a big practical problem, that is, after dismissing the officials in Beijun, he would basically have no one available to him. Feel very tangled.

Although he hated those corrupt officials in Beijun very much, if there were no corrupt officials, who would work for him, his government orders might not be able to be conveyed by then, and Lu Chen could only bear with it for the time being.

After the morning meeting was over, Lu Chen followed Xuanyuan Chen to the gate of the city.

At this time, people were standing outside the north gate of Yancheng. The people in Yancheng were very curious about what these people who were carrying big bags and pushing carts and carts were doing.

I don't know who said "the prince is coming", and the common people gave way one after another.

Soon Lu Chen came to the craftsmen of Dayu City on horseback. At this time, there were two young men in their 30s and 1.9s in front of the convoy. It is propped up, and there are about [-] meters.

Lu Chen then identified the information of these two people.

【Name: Murphy】

[Identity: The current craftsman leader of the Northern King's Mansion, the former Dayu City craftsman, after learning that the Northern King needed craftsmen, he immediately led two thousand craftsmen to Yancheng. 】

[Strength: Fifth Grade]

【Loyalty: 100】

……

【Name: Mo Xing】

[Identity: Currently a craftsman of the Northern King's Mansion, Mo Fei's younger brother, a former Dayu City craftsman, after learning that his elder brother Mo Fei was going to Yancheng to serve the Northern Queen, he also went to Yancheng. 】

[Strength: Fifth Grade]

【Loyalty: 100】

……

Seeing the information of the two, Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, both surnamed Mo?
Could it be that there really is a Mohist school in this world?
After Lu Chen's understanding of Dayu City during this period, he found that some of the concepts of Dayu City are really very similar to the Mohists, and now there are two surnamed Mo, which made Lu Chen even more suspicious.

But it doesn't matter whether it is the Mohist family or not. The most important thing is that these craftsmen are [-]% loyal to the Northern Prince's Mansion. Letting them make weapons reduces the risk of leakage.

At this moment, Mo Fei and Mo Xing came to Lu Chen at the same time, and then saluted and said, "Caomin Mo Fei, Caomin Mo Xing pays respects to the prince!"

The other craftsmen also saluted and said, "My lord!!!"

"My lord, thousand years old, thousand years old!!!"

Lu Chen nodded, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's all get up."

At this moment, Lu Chen's eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure in the distance.

He didn't notice that there were too many people just now. After the craftsmen lowered their heads, Lu Chen suddenly found that there was a woman in black and red armor on a white horse not far away.

The woman wore a high ponytail, a red robe, and a red-tasseled spear in her hand. The woman was very beautiful, with exquisite features, and heroic spirit exuded between her eyebrows. The whole person looked heroic.

This……

Lu Chen was immediately puzzled.

He didn't seem to have seen this woman in the Black Cavalry before, did he?

Moreover, there seemed to be no white horses among the black cavalry, and most importantly, no women.

After noticing the color of the horses, Lu Chen quickly realized that the horses that the soldiers behind the woman were riding were also white horses, not black horses like the black cavalry.

Out of curiosity, Lu Chen immediately used the system to identify the information of this woman.

【Name: Xuanyuan Yunqi】

[Identity: Daughter of the head of the Xuanyuan family in Dayu City, 23 years old this year, Xuanyuan Chen's younger sister, master realm, heard that Yancheng needed craftsmen, so she led three thousand light cavalry to escort these craftsmen to Yancheng, she was very grateful to the Northern King Feelings are a little weird. 】

【Score: 98】

【Loyalty: 100】

【Favourability: 50】

Seeing Xuanyuan Yunqi's information, Lu Chen was shocked again.

9... 98 rating? ? ?
But Xuanyuan Yunqi is indeed very beautiful, but her beauty is quite unique, different from the beauty of those women that Lu Chen has seen before.

And she is not only so beautiful, but also a master.

This……

The system didn't tell him that the third grandmaster was summoned.

Is Xuanyuan Yunqi a reward from the system?
After all, the 50 people in Dayu City are considered the system's summoning rewards, so Xuanyuan Yunqi should also be counted among them, right?
Lu Chen was a little unsure.

After all, this surprise came too suddenly.

It never occurred to him that there was a female grandmaster with a score of 98 in Dayu City.

Of course, there was one more thing that surprised Lu Chen.

That is three thousand white horse light cavalry.

The system did not mention these three thousand white horse light cavalry at the beginning, and the system only counted these three thousand cavalry as ordinary people in Dayu City.

Lu Chen always thought that the black cavalry were all capable soldiers in Dayu City, but he didn't expect that there were [-] light cavalry in Dayu City.

He knew from the very beginning that Dayu City had great war potential, but he didn't expect Dayu City to be so powerful.

At this time, Lu Chen was a little curious, why didn't the three thousand light cavalry led by Xuanyuan Yunqi come over?

Just when he was thinking this way, he realized that Xuanyuan Yunqi had left directly with three thousand light cavalry.

Lu Chen frowned.

A female guru with a score of 98 ran up to her, gave her a glance, and then ran away?

Can this make her run away?

Lu Chen quickly turned his head and said to Xuanyuan Chen: "General Xuanyuan, who is that woman in black and red armor? Why didn't she salute the king and left with the soldiers?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen immediately said: "My lord, that woman is the minister's younger sister, she is the general guarding the city of Yucheng, and the three thousand cavalry are also the guards of the city of Yucheng. We are from North County."

"The people have been delivered now, so they have to go back to Dayu City quickly to avoid barbarian attacks on Dayu City. As for why the minister's little sister didn't salute..."

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen hesitated for a moment, then Xuanyuan Chen still bit the bullet and said: "I apologize to the lord on behalf of my younger sister. My younger sister was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and I don't know how to be polite. I hope the lord can forgive her."

"When my younger sister comes to Yancheng next time, I will definitely grab her and kowtow to the prince to apologize."

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's words, Lu Chen froze for a moment.

Don't know etiquette?

Do you really not understand etiquette?
