The devil is coming

Chapter 820 Footprints
Liu Dahu held the bone soup and poured the pot over;
Put in winter melon, cabbage, fungus, etc. every day;
Prince Ji Chuanye caught a few soul wolfberries and scattered them;
The sword maid sat aside, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, expressing three parts reserve, three parts arrogance, three parts disdain and a little helplessness.
"This is what my father taught me. He said that eating like this will keep you healthy."
The prince put the beef balls into the pot and slowly waited for the hot pot to boil.
The aroma of beef begins to spread;
Eating beef is illegal. Even under the rule of Prince Pingxi, cattle are an extremely important means of production. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to have a bite of beef.
But if you want to say that the prince, prince and prince can't even eat beef, that's unrealistic.
In addition to the beef meatballs, there were also slices of beef, which were also put into the clear soup by the prince.
"You can drink the soup too, later."
The prince introduced.
According to Ji Laoliu himself, his dissolute behavior in his youth was for self-destruction;
But no matter what, since you haven't cultivated a warrior physique, if you indulge in sensuality, your body will inevitably be overdrawn and drained in advance.
Fortunately, Ji Laoliu realized this problem early on. He couldn't have fought so hard with his father for so many years and finally sat on the throne, only to collapse within a few years, leaving behind a group of orphans and widows. Mother, it’s cheaper... for others.
Since the birth of her eldest son, Ji Laoliu has paid great attention to health care.
In addition, the prince's body was weak since he was a child, so Ji Laoliu often guided his son's diet.
Next to it, there is a hot pot cooking;
Zheng Fan sat there with a cigarette in his hand.
The blind man sat in front of him and had just finished describing the progress of some affairs from the end of the year to now.
In short, everything in Jindong is stable and improving, and after laying the foundation and planning in the first two years, even if a war has just been launched, it is more like stretching after a long rest. Next, Jindong will enter a more rapid development period.
The key here is population.
Population is a metaphysics.
He doesn't mean that if you think it's too much, it will immediately decrease. If you think it's too little, it won't increase immediately. In this life, it's too late, and humans are not rabbits.
Moreover, everyone in the palace is not very motivated to lay the foundation for the development of future generations. This kind of thing is like planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade;
After all, the prince's two children are still in their mother's belly. After all, neither the prince nor the gentlemen have had enough fun.
Therefore, when it comes to population issues, we can only continue to attract people from Chudi and Xueyuan.
The nobles of Xueyuan can even directly become bidders after satisfying asset certification. They may not like the treatment of bidders, but they will definitely like this official identity and the protection it can provide them.
The refugees in the Chu region, following the great victory in the last Battle of Fancheng, those refugees who were still hesitating and hesitating, began to spontaneously migrate to the Jin region.
Anyway, they can't beat the Yan people, and there's no way the Yan people will fight again in two years. It's better to join in advance.
However, the population supplemented by these two aspects was still unable to meet the needs of development. Fan Li and Xue San went to look for silver mines, but the manpower required for mining was also extremely terrifying.
After the development of all walks of life has entered the right track, each one of them has become a "man-eating" beast.
There was no way, the land of eastern Shanxi was too barren at first, and the barbarian Chu people built it one after another. After the Yan people occupied this place, it became a frontline battlefield for a time, and there was no plan to develop or restore it at all;
The real development came after Zheng Fan took over here;
Therefore, to a certain extent, enfeoffment can indeed strengthen the development and consolidation of marginal lands;
In the Great Xia period, the three princes opened borders. The smaller one was Chu State, which had the most ethnic problems and the most complex regional issues. It enfeoffed a lot of nobles. For hundreds of years, except for southern Xinjiang, everyone basically recognized themselves. He is from Chu.
The smaller one is Shantou, where people are proud to eat steamed buns with fillings.
The blind man explained the problem,
Prince Pingxi also listened.
The cigarette butts scattered on the ground showed how seriously the prince listened.
But the crux of the problem is that Xu Wenzu did a great job. Once Yingdu was settled, Jinzhong was basically settled. Population mobility was not high in this era. In addition, the war never affected Yingdu, resulting in a lack of population. When Jindong wants to absorb the population from there, it becomes difficult.
Steamed buns with fillings are very desirable, and many people continue to cross Wangjiang River to Jindong to join the palace, but they are still "a drop in the bucket".
"At the beginning, I thought that with Xu Wenzu sitting in Yingdu, our rear would be stabilized and we could allocate more energy to face the threat from the Chu State. Now that the threat from the Chu State is smaller, the backside..."
Zheng Fan smiled. He couldn't say this anymore.
The blind man answered: "The main reason is that we fought the battle so well and stabilized the situation so well. If there is no chaos here, there will be no chaos in the Three Jin Lands."
Prince Pingxi didn't notice that what the blind man said could actually be said the other way around.
"If you bite off more than you can chew, introduce some policies to encourage childbirth, and provide subsidies to targeted households for having more children," the prince said.
"My lord, actually Biaohu is already working very hard to have a baby."
Standard households have high living security, good welfare, and have no worries about food and clothing. They are also very motivated to have babies. Furthermore, the palace has long abolished the poll tax. Unlike other places, there are still cases of infanticide. Tradition.
"Oh, let's see."
Prince Pingxi shouted to the table where the children were sitting:
"Son, bring daddy two plates of beef."
"Okay, Father."
Tiantian came over with beef.
Compared with the clear soup pot over the children's side, what Zheng Fan is cooking here is a red pot.
When the beef is rolled down,
The children sitting at the table over there looked straight in their eyes, and suddenly felt that the health pot in front of them didn't smell good.
Of course, their presence can add more appetite to Zheng Fan's place.
After the meal was over, the blind man retired to attend to his official duties;
Zheng Fan continued to practice swordsmanship and take a bath;
In the afternoon, the prince's otaku life began.
While Siniang was busy, the princess went to the Gourd Temple to pray for Buddha.
Ok,
Plus they all have a big belly.
The prince's current choice is only one.
Ji Laoliu once complained in a letter that both of his women were pregnant.
At that time, Zheng Fan felt that this guy was showing off that he had another child. Only now did he understand the pain.
Fortunately, Liu Ruqing's stomach remained silent.
Whether she is in a hurry or not is another matter.
The prince himself breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zheng Fan entered the yard, Liu Ruqing was pruning the branches. She was wearing a green jacket and white soft-soled shoes. She looked like a heroine on the stage, but she didn't wear any makeup.
Naturally beautiful and naturally charming;
People all over the world have rumors that Prince Pingxi is a good wife, but in fact, the four mothers and the princess are both original, but Liu Ruqing is the one who really makes Prince Pingxi take this level of responsibility;
but,
worth it.
Everyone makes fun of Mengde, but everyone envies Mengde.
Seeing the prince coming, Liu Ruqing took the initiative to come forward and say hello.
In front of the maids, the prince stretched out his hand and hugged Liu Ruqing directly into his arms. His hands were familiar with the road. He marched for thousands of miles and attacked as if he was entering an uninhabited land. He looked up and down and the rain and dew were all covered by the battlefield.
For a moment, Ruqing was so charming that she gasped for breath.
The two maids next to them pursed their lips, but were not shy at all. They had obviously gotten used to the strangeness early on, and just kept holding the handkerchiefs in their hands, as if they had the same experience as their mistress;
It's a pity that my prince is very picky when it comes to women. Although he has done some work like helping push carts on weekdays, he has never really been favored.
The princess also joked that Sister Ruqing would not be able to live alone, and what if Sister Ruqing also had a baby, so she advised the prince to invite a few more people in the room.
But the prince, who had rejected the harem manga in his previous life, already felt "heavy sin" to have three wives in this life, and he really had no intention of opening a house to accept more people.
And this is just like the demand for population. In the past two years, the grain production in eastern Shanxi was insufficient, and it was impossible to absorb the refugees at that time. Now that the foundation has been laid, it is no longer able to receive a large influx of people;
In the same way, you can't just consider the inconvenience of being pregnant for both wives now. After all, the child will be born eventually, and you have to consider your future waist.
It was broad daylight, but I was in no rush to enter the room, because I had something else to do later.
Liu Ruqing began to sing opera for the prince, and her singing skills got better and better. The prince, who had no knowledge of opera at first and still had no interest in it, listened with interest.
This is just like some men in later generations singing. Do they really love singing?
Drinking tea,
Eating snacks,
Listen to the little tune,
The afternoon sun seemed to be dyed with a light golden color.
Thanks to Dugu Mu’s head and General Nian’s egg,
The prince, who had just gone to war a while ago, now had enough patience to continue enjoying the quiet days in the palace.
the end of the song,
Liu Ruqing, who has long figured out her man's arousal,
He pinched the orchid with his hand and put it to his lips, his body slightly timid.
If you want to refuse, you should respond; if you want to refuse, you should be ashamed.
The charm and charm are just right,
shouted:
"Uncle~~~"
"hiss……"
No matter how many times I have listened to it, I still never get tired of it.
It can even be said that the previous ditty, with so many correct words, was for the prince himself, all preparing for the final song.
It’s complete and comfortable.
The prince hooked his fingers,
Perhaps this is the most attractive thing about Liu Ruqing. They have been together for a long time, but they still remain shy. This makes the prince feel like a street bully who bullies men and women every time.
Although with the current status of the prince, even the royal censors of the imperial court would think it was not a big deal if he really bullied men and women, and would even make them cry with joy. They felt that Prince Pingxi finally "understood the general idea" and began to truly "serve the country for himself". Sewage".
But this thing is too dull and low-end, but at home, hehe...
After hugging Liu Ruqing for a while, the guest from outside came in to report.
Xiao Yibo was very sensible. Whenever the prince was in his wife's courtyard, it was Hakka who came to convey messages.
"Go, change your clothes and follow me out."
Liu Ruqing was a little surprised. Although she was also a princess now, compared with those two, she always thought of herself as a "concubine". It was usually not her turn to show off with men.
But she didn't refuse. After all, the two of them were physically inconvenient right now, so it would be pointless to keep trying.
Liu Ruqing got up and went back to her room to change clothes.
Mr. Ke stepped forward and cursed at the two maids who were following slowly:
"You two have wandering hooves and your legs are so weak that you can't even walk. Sooner or later, I will be betrothed to you!"
With that said, Mr. Hakka walked to the coffee table, bent down to put away the fruit plate and tea, with his back to the prince.
The prince, who had been cleaning his gun for half an afternoon, slapped it with his hand. The waves rolled and the rebound was powerful.
"Grandpa~~~"
Although Keshi was not a member of the family, she had fed the prince, so she was considered half a member of the family.
At this time, the maid who had not gone far was quite courageous. She turned back and said with a smile:
"Mommy, I like it better if I call you Prince twice."
Keshi blushed immediately and cursed:
"Hey, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
……
On weekdays, when the prince goes out on official business in the palace, he is always accompanied by a chariot. He does not pay much attention to the noisy gongs and drums and the waving of flags, but the rows and rows of guards dressed in brocade and carrying flying fish knives are enough to declare the royal power. Sacrosanct.
But this time,
The prince went out in a carriage.
Liu Ruqing changed into plain formal clothes and sat in the carriage with him.
The carriage entered the school building;
The royal school was first opened in Shengle City, and then moved to Xuehaiguan and then to Fengxin City today, and the scale of the school continued to expand.
Basically, all school-age children from standard households will study there.
It is very difficult for children from non-standard families.
The tradition of Zhuxia culture is that parents are very willing to give up to their children as long as conditions permit. If it is in a remote place, that's fine. The eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, but it happens to be right in front of you. You can see clearly what other people's children are like. Your children are still playing in the mud at home while your children are going to school in the school building. How can you bear this?
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that every time the prince orders troops, so many people eagerly want to enter the civilian camp and the auxiliary barracks.
In comparison, the cost of a "free" school is nothing to mention.
Thanks to the insufficient population of Jindong, if Fengxin City becomes the same as Yingdu, the blind man may invent "school district housing" to further stimulate the city.
today,
It was the day when the first batch of students in the school officially graduated, so Zheng Fan, the "mountain leader", had to come.
The school building was divided into two parts. After selection, children suitable for joining the army were separated from other children.
The children who will join the army in the future will be trained for two more years. They will be the prince's rotating soldiers or have spent time in the military camp. The other children will go to various shops and workshops early to start working as the most junior technical workers.
This world is always so realistic. If your swords and guns are not sharp enough, no matter how well you build your own home, it will only serve as a wedding dress for others.
The Yan people have always had a tradition of attaching great importance to military merit, and the people in Fengxin City regard sending their children to join the army as the most reliable and anticipated way of advancement.
After all, my prince is invincible in every battle!
It was already dusk when Zheng Fan arrived at the school grounds behind the school building.
On the school grounds, there were more than 800 children standing in neat rows. Oh no, they were young boys.
When the royal guards came in formation and the carriage drove in,
This batch of graduating children, under the command of the school official, all knelt down on one knee and put their right fist on the ground.
Cheers:
"Meet Your Majesty!"
"Meet Your Majesty!"
There are familiar faces among this group of children.
The best ones, at the front, are Zheng Man and Liu Dahu.
And among them, because when the children were first admitted, most of them were street children, and most of them were children of fallen soldiers who exchanged their own pension money for their surnames.
Moreover, the sisters in the red tent under the palace also have the tradition of donating money to build a memorial tablet to receive their children. This has been preserved since the time of Shengle City.
"Dad" is the prince's soldier and died fighting for the prince. He was raised by the prince. Now, he must rely on the prince's support to join the prince's army and serve the prince;
Death warriors are not so thorough.
After these children enter the army, and when they gradually grow up to be captains and officers, the army under the palace will become more loyal and always unite by the prince's side.
In the next batch, and the next batch after that, there will be more barbarian children, Chu people, and barbarian children, and at this time, the composition of the soldiers and horses in the towns below the palace is also very distinct. Their presence will further divide the complex army. Bridge it up.
At this point, the blind man's arrangement is very forward-looking.
The prince stepped out of the carriage, and behind him stood Liu Ruqing.
Seeing these young men kneeling in front of him, Zheng Fan felt a little emotional.
In future generations, a 30-year-old can be called an ignorant child;
But now, these young men have already shouldered their own mission and are joining the army.
The prince and the princess awarded waist badges to the young men one by one.
The prince is responsible for patting each young man on the shoulder and performing the "shoulder patting ceremony" which is very popular in Xincheng.
Princess Side handed over the waist badges and caressed their faces at the same time.
In today's era where even those who run out without shoes are praised as "courteous and virtuous corporals" by literati, this kind of "standard" is very advanced.
After all, the identity of this mountain leader is extraordinary!
"You are all good, lonely children, and you are all good, lonely students."
The prince's voice echoed in the school grounds.
"I believe,
Today, you are proud of me; tomorrow, I will be proud of you! "
"Death for the prince!"
"Death for the prince!"
Prince Pingxi stood with his hands behind his back.
Looking at these young men in front of me who were extremely excited and shouted to die for them,
In my heart, I was extremely emotional.
perhaps,
A few days ago, my family thought that their appearance had changed the birth and operation of the devil in this world, which was enough to be proud of. However, it was more like a game of chess, where the first player won several moves, but in the final analysis, it was still A game.
And today,
right here,
Zheng Fan found a real feeling;
Compared with the "Devil King" whose destiny has been changed,
What you should really be proud of,
It is because of his own appearance that these young men can be adopted, grow up and become adults.
turn around,
bow your head,
Look at the way you came,
This footprint,
But isn’t it clear?
