Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Emperor Renxiao: "I know all the laws that Lanxi has implemented before, and they were also approved by me. You, the ministers, do not need to make any comments!"

The courtier looked choked.

"I have seen all the changes in the capital. During the period of raising troops, I went on several incognito tours to the people. I have seen that the people are living and working in peace and contentment, with enough food and clothing."

"I have personally visited the Ministry of Revenue and the National Treasury to check the reserves. The reserves in the National Treasury are now more than the previous three years combined. I believe that Lan Xi may not have done enough in some areas, but these achievements that are clearly stated cannot be denied by the officials!"

The courtier choked again.

"When I had my meal yesterday, I ate the golden rice that was brought into the palace from the northwest. A corn cob was transported from the distant northwest to the capital, and it was surprisingly still very fresh." Emperor Renxiao seemed to be really pleased, with a slight smile on his face and a gentle expression.

"I have had the golden rice placed outside the palace. When the court is dismissed, I will ask a court official to take four stalks home and cook them. One stalk of golden rice is enough to fill a child's stomach. Two stalks of golden rice are enough to fill an adult man's stomach. This kind of golden rice is not picky about the place or the soil, and can be cultivated in the north or south."

"There are also golden beans and sweet potatoes. I have also tasted them. Cooking them into three meals a day is not only delicious, but also very filling. More importantly, they are highly productive. One acre of land can produce thousands of kilograms. They are simply divine objects, divine objects sent from heaven. They are worthy of being placed on the altar and offered to God. They are worthy of my kneeling and worshipping!"

Emperor Renxiao's speech was passionate and touching.

"Is there anything else you are not satisfied with?"

This sentence made the courtier choke again.

“Is there anyone in your family who doesn’t have enough to eat?”

“Is there anyone starving to death on the streets in your hometown?”

“Are there poor families in your hometown, and are the people suffering?”

"You don't care about these serious problems, but you are crazy and only target Shen Lanxi?"

"You studied hard to become officials in the court, and the strategies for governing a country you learned from books are for you to gang up on a woman?"

All the officials were not just speechless, they were also terrified.

"We are too narrow-minded!" An official knelt down.

"I am too pedantic!"

"I am ashamed..."

Emperor Renxiao sighed and said, "I know what you are thinking. Shen Lanxi has already gone to the southwest. What is the difference between what you are doing and replacing the head coach before the war?"

Many officials bowed their heads in deep shame.

"Okay, I will pretend that what happened in the court today never happened. Let's discuss who should be sent to govern Shu and Qianzhou!"

The atmosphere in the court was depressing. The officials were all very cautious, afraid of saying something wrong and bringing bad luck, so they didn't dare to speak casually.

Therefore, the court was adjourned without reaching an agreement on the affairs of Qianzhou and Shu.

The Minister of War walked out of the palace gate in a daze, as if in a dream.

Your Majesty, what's going on?

It is obvious that Your Majesty was not like this before.

Chen Qing accidentally caught sight of Wu Yanzhi and immediately chased after him!

……

Shen Lanxi ran all the way. At noon, she just ate some biscuits and drank some water. After a short rest, she continued on her way.

What happened in the southwest was not fake; it really happened.

The previous delegation was sent out through her hands, and it must come back through her hands from beginning to end.

Zhou Ruyuan has been working in the southwest for many years and has many old subordinates, so it would be easy for him to do something there.

This time she planned to bypass Zhou Ruyuan and investigate the foreign tribes in the southwest first.

During the rest time at night, she gathered the secret guards together, and while they had dinner, they discussed the next plan.

The people following her included old members of her army from the northwest, the imperial guards, secret guards, and the secret guards given by her mother.

At this time, several forces had been integrated together by Shen Lanxi, and different tasks began to be arranged.

"After we enter the southwest, we must break up into smaller units and enter the southwest in batches and from different directions."

"Team one, you guys dress up as merchants."

"Team Two, you're going to dress up as refugees."

"Team three, you will dress up as local foreigners."

"Team Four..."

……

"Your goal is to get a local map after entering the southwest!"

"Then find out whether the Prince of Zhennan has rebelled, where he is, and how many troops he has!"

"After the envoys from the Great Zhou arrive, will they contact the foreign tribes? Are they safe?"

"What are the movements of the foreign tribes, what are the backgrounds of their leaders, what are their goals, are they fighting or making peace, has there been any civil unrest, and how are their forces distributed."

"Remember, don't draw attention to yourself."

"Xinxi must have known that the court sent me here, so we have to race against time and enter together before Xinxi reacts. Do you understand?"

Everyone: "Yes!"

After a night's rest, we set off again.

This time was more purposeful than the first time. Everyone was assigned a task. There was no longer any confusion about the road ahead. Instead, there was a determined look in their eyes to do their best to complete the task.

After traveling day and night for ten days, the horses could no longer bear the need to be changed, so the process of changing horses was repeated all the way.

Horses can be replaced, but people cannot.

Even the strong men who have been training for many years can hardly bear such a long-distance rush. Shen Lanxi's figure is still like a spear, running firmly in the front.

One day, two days, three days, they changed horses repeatedly. The men were gritting their teeth and had to grit their teeth to hold on, but Shen Lanxi was still running steadily in the front.

The soldiers and secret guards changed their initial contempt and dissatisfaction to admiration and respect, without any trace of provocation or contempt.

He is worthy of being the Regent of the Great Zhou, worthy of being the Grand Marshal of the Army, and worthy of being the one who successively conquered Dongchuan and the Northwest.

She deserves it!

Those who secretly look down on women and despise women should really see how heroic Shen Lanxi is!

Five days passed in a flash, and they were approaching the southwestern border.

Shen Lanxi decided to start acting according to the plan.

"You look like refugees now, without even needing to disguise yourself!" Shen Lanxi joked.

Many people lowered their heads in embarrassment, but their expressions were unusually relaxed.

"From now on, we'll split up!"

"I obey the order of the Regent!"

More than a dozen groups of people quickly dispersed, leaving only Lan Xi and the ten secret guards behind her.

"Let's take action too!"

They acted quickly, and the Southwest probably didn't expect them to come so quickly, so they entered the Southwest very smoothly.

There are many foreigners in the southwest, and they are very xenophobic. Once a stranger enters, they will issue an alarm immediately.

Following the instructions in the secret letter, Shen Lanxi led her men into the mountains near the wolf tribe.

According to the secret letter, the delegation lost contact after entering the Wolf Tribe. When the Great Zhou negotiated with them, the Wolf Tribe denied that the Great Zhou delegation had entered the tribe.

There were more than 40 members in the delegation, so it was impossible for them to disappear out of thin air. She was more inclined to believe that these 40 members had already joined the wolf tribe.
