Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

This is a treasure that assists in the cultivation of the soul, so its value is self-evident. And they only contributed a small part this time.

What really made them nervous was Li Shouxi's endless and immoral methods.

"It's good that you don't mind. After all, there aren't many geniuses and treasures in the palace that can help you!"

After saying that, Li Shouxi looked at Li Bei and others again.

At this time, the students had only been in Fengtian for ten days or half a month, but basically all the benefits that could be provided had been implemented.

In addition to houses and land, there are students who want to enter officialdom and are waiting for arrangements from the prefectural government; and students who decide to join the ranks of education have entered the academy founded by Li Shouxi as lecturers, with better treatment, and their houses are similar to the townhouses of later generations, with all the four treasures of the study.

Therefore, the spirit and energy of Li Bei and others were somewhat different.

The young men who were once full of vigor and vitality have now matured a lot. After all, they have all become scholars.

"Grandmaster Wang, have arrangements been made for the compensation of the fallen soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, one hundred acres of black land will be exempted from tax for ten years. I have already arranged it."

Wang Meng knew that Li Shouxi was talking about those death row prisoners. These insignificant promises had been arranged long ago, which also made the beneficiary families a little confused.

Their relatives were all death row inmates. When did they become fallen soldiers?

And there are so many death benefits.

These are hundreds of acres of black land, and they have been tax-free for ten years. Especially in terms of reputation, it has changed instantly.

"That's good.

Mr. Li Bi, you will first follow the prefect Wang for internship and follow his arrangements. In recent years, the political affairs of Liaodong have basically been decided by the prefect Wang, and I am just a hands-off manager. "

"We will follow the prince's orders!"

Li Bi naturally had no objection. In the past half month, they had also carefully studied the policies in Liaodong.

The network is connected from top to bottom and the efficiency is extremely high.

The credit for all this goes to the governor Wang who came before them, who was like a wise minister.

The most important thing is that Liaodong had a lot of affairs at that time. Although they were a little busy, they were able to learn a lot without the usual twists and turns of officialdom.

“Also, Chief Wanyan, all the seniors!

I think you all know the reason why the barbarians are heading south this time, so it is best for you to start stockpiling food from this year so that you can prepare for any eventuality."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."

Although Wanyan Wudi and others did not believe it, since Li Shouxi was so serious, they felt it would be better to take precautions in advance.

Isn’t it just stockpiling some food?

"Grandmaster Wang, the government should also collect the surplus food from the people's homes.

Especially since a large number of refugees will be arriving soon, I will dispatch 100,000 soldiers from Longmen Pass to help you maintain order."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Meng was not disturbed, as these were originally sent out through him, so he naturally knew Li Shouxi's next plan.

First, using work-for-relief to reclaim wasteland;

The second is to stockpile food in preparation for the subsequent Little Ice Age.

There was also a newly built large fleet, which Li Shouxi planned to use for fishing and catching fishery resources in the ocean. The fish caught would be pickled and stored.

By the time the Little Ice Age comes, these will be real strategic resources!

Salted fish is not only meat, but also high-salt meat.

And salt is the source of strength.

···

"Husband!"

A short separation is better than a new marriage, especially since they have been separated for nearly a month since their wedding.

Li Shouxi couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him who looked a little thin and pitiful.

This may be emotion.

Li Shouxi was not a person who believed in feelings before, because it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

Even feelings are no exception.

Moreover, emotions are an invisible blade that can sometimes hurt people the most.

But at this moment he truly felt an inexplicable warmth and care, which might be the power of Nuwa's lineage.

Otherwise, Li Shouxi's mind would not be opened so easily.

"Well, Xiao Wang has returned intact, not even a hair is missing."

Zhao Linger stared at the young man in front of her who still looked as charming and elegant as ever, and couldn't help but put aside her worries.

In the palace, she often heard rumors about the brutal looting by the barbarians.

This time, a million cavalrymen marched southwards, their target heading directly for Liaodong. They were determined to win, and the battle to defend the pass was extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, Li Shouxi returned victorious.

Chapter 83: Lantern Feast Fox Mask

"I think Ling'er hasn't had a good look around Fengtian City since she came back?

Tonight, Fengtian City is celebrating the victory at Longmen Pass. It's very lively. It's a good opportunity for us to go out for a walk. It's a rare time to see so many lights and lights!"

"Okay!"

When Zhao Linger heard this, a hint of excitement flashed across her clear and moving eyes, and her stunningly beautiful face blossomed into a smile that made all other flowers pale in comparison.

Because of the departure of the Saint Aunt and Grandma, although Mei Jian was someone she trusted extremely, he was not a family member after all. Therefore, after Zhao Linger returned to the palace, she always felt lonely in a foreign land.

And Li Shouxi's company is undoubtedly the best medicine.

Especially the prosperity of Fengtian City, the lanterns at night must be very beautiful and very attractive to Zhao Linger.

"Husband, is a rare victory really that important?"

Thinking that the lanterns tonight were prepared to celebrate the victory of the war, Zhao Linger couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.

“No one wants war!

The cruelty of war does not bring much benefit to the people, whether they win or lose.

What people are celebrating tonight is the loss of one million elite soldiers from the northern barbarians. In the next ten years, there is no need to worry about the threat from the northern barbarians. This is worth celebrating.

In the eyes of the northern barbarians, the Han people are like two-legged sheep, and only strong people are needed to become slaves!"

"Two-legged sheep, what is that?"

When Zhao Linger heard Li Shouxi's sigh, she didn't expect Li Shouxi to be so clear-headed.

War is cruel. No matter winning or losing, in the end there will be no benefit to the people, only deep harm!

But she also knew that war was inevitable, at least this war was not Li Shouxi's fault.

At the same time, I wonder what a two-legged sheep is?

“As the name suggests, a sheep with two legs!

According to the records of the barbarians breaking through the pass and heading south, basically wherever the barbarians passed, there was a river of blood and few survivors, and "two-legged sheep" was the name the barbarians called the Tang and Han people.

Especially those women who were captured, who were abused at night and cooked and eaten during the day, just like animals!"

When Zhao Linger heard this, her body trembled and she couldn't believe it!

Li Shouxi also comforted Zhao Linger. This was something Zhao Linger must know.

Because the Han people’s hatred for the barbarians is a lifelong feud.

Every Han Chinese knows that once the barbarians break through the border, they will burn, kill, and loot, and the same will be true of natural and man-made disasters.

“I told Ling’er this to explain the consequences of the barbarians’ southward march.

Even though the barbarians today are not their ancestors, once the idea of ​​respecting the strong is broken, these barbarians will surely repeat the evil deeds of their ancestors. Then it will be the entire Central Plains that will suffer, not just the catastrophe in the northern border!

This is also why the people of Fengtian City celebrated when the Barbarians' Yuan Qi was severely damaged. This generation no longer has to worry about the Barbarians moving south."

Zhao Linger nodded when she heard this. She could feel that Li Shouxi did not lie to her.

The disaster caused by the barbarians is not just war!

No wonder the people in the city celebrated the loss of all the elite troops from the grassland, because the worries they had been suffering were no longer there.

"Mei Jian, get ready and go watch the lanterns tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Mei Jian agreed, he went downstairs happily to prepare.

After all, it is a rare opportunity for them to have such a moment, and it is a celebratory feast.

“By the way, the eternal night in the north is coming, and the world will change drastically.

By then, the grain production in the south may decrease, and the three harvests a year may become two or one. Ling'er, write a letter to the Saint Aunt, asking her tribe to store some grain to cope with the year of disaster!"

"The eternal night is coming? Food production is decreasing?"

Li Shouxi explained "Eternal Night" and "Winter" again.

Although it was just a guess, Zhao Linger was the descendant of the legendary Nuwa, and she could sense that what Li Shouxi said was true!

This trust is not an emotional perception or a psychological suggestion, but a response from heaven and earth to her.

If Li Shouxi's prediction was just a guess, then Zhao Linger could basically confirm it.

Eternal night is coming and winter is approaching!

"My dear, according to the prophecy, won't only one of the creatures on the northern grassland survive?"

“Yes, this is indeed a cruel thing.

But allowing the northern barbarians to enter the pass is like releasing wolves into the flock of sheep, which will be a disaster for us, the Tang and Han people.

Therefore, there is no absolute right or wrong in this matter, only different positions.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

As the King of Yan, I cannot let the barbarians enter the pass, because I can protect the Han people in Liaodong behind me, but I cannot guarantee that the barbarians who enter the pass will not harm the Han people.

Just like saving one person requires killing one person, I cannot kill my own people to save a foreigner!

This is the only choice for this king."

Zhao Linger originally felt that Li Shouxi's behavior was a bit cruel, but from Li Shouxi's perspective, she knew that Li Shouxi had done nothing wrong.

Because it was impossible for Li Shouxi to kill a Tang person for a barbarian.

This is impossible.

What's more, the number of Tang and Han people in Kyushu is ten or a hundred times that of the grassland tribes. There is no other choice at all!

It is undoubtedly foolish to release a wolf into the flock in order to save one.

"Ling'er understands husband!"

Li Shouxi has explained it very clearly. Even as the Mother of the Earth, Zhao Linger knows that Li Shouxi's choice is right.

What’s more, the people in the grassland believe in Eternal Heaven!

···

"Wow, what a beautiful lantern!"

The defeat on the grassland and the loss of one million elite troops at Longmen Pass undoubtedly eliminated the biggest threat from the north to the people in Liaodong!

As for the threat from the South?

Compared to the South, this is the North. They are the threat to the South, so it is good that they don't attack others.

Now that they had the black soil, they no longer wanted to go to the south to plunder.

Therefore, at night in Fengtian City, the whole street is filled with dazzling lanterns of various shapes. All kinds of snack and jewelry stalls on both sides are open, and the restaurants are brightly lit, with people drinking and chatting, making it look like a prosperous time.
