Xu Qing leaned in Xiao Ruxue's arms and happily took a bite of the sliced pears, then turned back to look at Xiao Ye and asked: "What did Brother Xiao just say? The perseverance to recover from illness?"
Before Xiao Ye could speak, Xiao Ruxue spoke: "Xiao Ye, don't disturb your husband's recovery here. Get out quickly. Get out."
Xiao Ye: "You don't think this is disturbing? I am here to disturb you?"
Xiao Ruxue; "Do you want to change places with me?"
"Ahem..." Xiao Ye coughed and said, "Then I'd better go out."
After Xiao Ye went out, Xiao Ruxue continued to feed Xu Qing pears.
Xiao Ruxue asked: "Husband, husband, are you sweet or not?"
Xu Qing said: "Xueer's cut is of course sweet."
Xiao Ruxue said, "Then eat more. I can cut it later."
Xu Qing chewed pear pieces in her mouth and squinted her eyes.
Is this the privilege of the sick?
Well, comfortable!
After finally finishing the battle, Xu Qing could finally rest for a while. It is estimated that the events in Shuzhou will spread all the way to the capital in a few days.
It’s really exciting to see what Emperor Zhao’s reaction will be when the time comes.
Of course, Xu Qing, a strategist, could use the excuse of being sick to stay lazy, but Long Bing'er had no way to take care of Xu Qing at home all the time.
After all, Long Bing'er is the commander-in-chief of an army.
One day's rest was her limit. On the second day, Xu Qing, who was "seriously ill in bed," continued to recuperate, while Long Bing'er went to the state government office.
Now the counties in Shuzhou have surrendered one after another, and the docks have been regained.
Everything is booming.
Occupying Shuzhou means that Long Bing'er has completely established a firm foothold and can make the rebellion bigger and stronger.
The soldiers have been tired for so long, and finally have a rest and vacation.
Shuzhou now has 160,000 troops, and more than half of them come from surrendered soldiers. I believe that with a little training, they can become an elite army.
In fact, the people of the Central Plains have abundant martial virtues. As long as the conditions are suitable and the training is proper, it is a basic operation to win with fewer people.
If they are well-trained and well paid, if the emperor is not stupid and the generals are not afraid of death, the Central Plains soldiers will definitely be a powerful force capable of conquering and fighting.
But unfortunately, most of the time, even such basic conditions are difficult to meet.
This leads to the question: Why do you think the grassland people are so powerful in combat? The strength of the Central Plains is so weak?
Because the prairie people were short of food, tea, salt, iron, etc., they had to work hard to get enough food and clothing in that area. The natural pressure was placed on their heads, and they had no choice but to work hard.
Let's look at the Central Plains. The land is fertile, the population is rich, and the farming civilization is still there. Unless there is a catastrophic year, otherwise it will be difficult to lack food, a material necessary for survival.
Look, a comfortable environment can easily breed corrupt officials, leading to people being miserable.
When the corruption of corrupt officials has reached a certain level, it will be time to change the dynasty.
This is a terrible curse. No matter who manages the Central Plains, no matter how hard the ancestors of the kings worked hard, the future kings will soon become inert.
What does it mean to be born in sorrow and die in happiness?
This is called being born in sorrow and dying in happiness.
On the contrary, if the leader is wise and powerful and arranges the generals' tactics properly, even if the weapons in their hands are different, they can still pin the opponent to the ground and hammer him, and it will not be a problem at all to hit him seventeen times.
Tsk tsk, fighting nation?
The Central Plains itself is an absolute fighting nation, right?
Is there any need to praise others?
What Shuzhou needs to do now is to develop the combat effectiveness of these surrendered soldiers. This is left to Zhao Huaiyi, and Xiao Ye can act as an advisor.
After all, Xiao Ye was born in the most powerful country today, and he is still the emperor. It can even be said that he is the symbol of the country itself.
He is definitely proficient in how to train the army, and there are many places where he can provide guidance.
Xin Honggao continued to arrange to receive land from various counties in Shuzhou. Of course, it was also necessary to eliminate the bandits and destroy them.
Not all Zhao's soldiers were captured, and some of them abandoned their armor and fled. Now that they have little money on them, they will definitely not be able to return to the capital. Many of them will take risks and start banditry, so
A new round of suppression of bandits is very necessary, and this is a hidden danger.
Long Bing'er began to promulgate a series of policies in accordance with Xu Qing's previous arrangements, including but not limited to taxation, government administration, the restoration of imperial examinations and the creation of military examinations to select civil servants and generals, as well as ordnance construction, etc.
Of course, the most important point is that if you want to get rich, build roads first.
The road Tianan in Shuzhou is gone, which will hinder development. It is time to arrange the cement road.
Previously, cement was not purchased from the Chu State because of the precious transportation capacity. Now that the Zhao imperial army has been pacified, the cement road can finally be arranged.
Thanks to Long Bing'er's tireless efforts, Shuzhou finally got out of the quagmire of war and got on the right track.
The plan assigned by Xu Qing to Long Bing'er was to let Shuzhou recuperate for a while, at least for half a year to a year, to accumulate enough strength, and then start plotting against the entire Zhao Kingdom.
Long Bing'er also conscientiously implemented the route planned by Xu Qing, and added her own considerations to it.
Now that Shuzhou can collect taxes normally, it means that Long Bing'er no longer needs to rely on Xu Qing's strength for everything.
With sufficient tax revenue, Long Bing'er would have money in his hands. Long Bing'er could handle the food and salary for the army by himself, and he could even spend his own money on purchasing various supplies.
There is no need to squeeze Xu Qing anymore.
Although a husband is very strong, if he is squeezed too much, he will be drained dry, or even drained away...
Long Binger undoubtedly understands this truth.
When you can solve the problem by yourself, it is best to solve it by yourself. If you can't solve it by yourself, then ask your husband to find a solution.
Xu Qing is her husband, not her banker.
Don’t spend your husband’s money unless necessary!
As for the man behind the Queen, he was at home leaning on Su Qian's arms and crying out in pain...
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing who was leaning his head on her chest and said helplessly, "Husband, are you really in pain?"
Xu Qing pretended to be very similar and was about to shed tears. Shui nodded cutely: "Well, it hurts..."
Su Qian exposed Xu Qingdao: "Other people don't understand my husband, don't I understand you? Your husband's body should be fine, right?"
Xu Qing continued to say with tears in her eyes: "It hurts! It just hurts! It just hurts!"
When Su Qian saw Xu Qing like this, she was helpless. She had only known that she couldn't cope with Xue'er's coquettish behavior, but she never expected that her husband's coquettish behavior could be so lethal.
Even though she knew it was a lie, Su Qian couldn't bear to continue to expose it, so she had to say: "Okay, okay, where does it hurt? Let me rub your body for your husband."
