fifteenth quarter moon

In the early dynasty, Nalan Xianyue once again proposed to Nalan Jinrong the method of conscription, but was still opposed by the courtiers.What Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, and the Ministry of Officials completely rejected this military law reform.

It's just that the excuse is that the court can't afford so much silver taels.In fact, one purpose of these people is to hope that Nalan Xianyue will come to invest. Qianji Pavilion is very important in the Central Plains regardless of human, financial and material resources.It's just that Nalan Xianyue is not going to take out this money, and has discussed with Nalan Haoyue that this money can no longer be funded by Qianji Pavilion.

Fifteen is in a good mood today, and decided to come to the morning court with Nalan Xianyue, but they were not in the main hall, but above the main hall. Fortunately, no one would find out, otherwise they would have to be charged with treason.Nalan Xianyue ignored the fifteenth's behavior.Fifteen said to himself on the roof: "It's impossible for Qianji Pavilion to pay for it, don't even think about it."

Nalan Xianyue also didn't argue with others in the court. If a country really can't afford to support soldiers, how can it rise in this troubled world, so he left the decision to the emperor.

Nalan Jinrong suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and said majesticly: "The reform of the art of war is a major matter for the country. I have been invaded by foreign enemies for a long time, the army of Chu State is in the southeast, the Xiqi is in the north, and the barbarians and bandits are in trouble in the west. All forced me to leave the country to be strong, and to have a strong army stationed in all directions. The marshal's method of reforming the use of troops, I think... can be used!"

Master Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, if we really want to strengthen the army like this, it will cost more financial resources. It seems that the only way to do it is to increase taxes."

Nalan Xianyue said: "Your Majesty, increasing taxes is not a good way to increase fiscal revenue. If you blindly increase taxes, the people's work throughout the year will be used to pay taxes. How many people will be willing to work in this way? , not only the treasury is not sufficient, but many more refugees will come out!"

Nalan Jinrong said: "What do you think the prince wants?"

Nalan Haoyue said: "Reporting to my father, my son believes that taxes cannot be levied. The imperial court should encourage land reclamation and land expansion, and improve those overgrown lands for the people to work in. This way, the people's income will increase and the national treasury will be more abundant. Since it is to open up wasteland and expand the land, manpower is bound to be needed. The reform of the military law proposed here can just make up for the deficiency. Every five years, the family has both labor camps and strong soldiers, and those retired soldiers only need to enter when the country is in crisis. Frontline, this is indeed a profitable method."

Nalan Jinrong sighed: "The method of Baili! The reform of the art of war is easy to say but difficult to implement! Since you propose the reform of the art of war, it is up to you to implement it. What I want to see is the result.

Shiwu, who had been sitting on the roof, said to himself: "This emperor is quite wise!"

In the next dynasty, four majestic men came out of the palace, and the reform of the military law was allowed by the emperor, so they were very high-spirited.

Fifteen passed directly over the heads of the four from the top of the hall, and landed firmly in front of the four.

Nalan Haoyue smiled and said: "Xianyue, do you think it's necessary for you, it's just for a short period of time in the early morning, so why are you so inseparable?"

Nalan Xianyue just smiled and said nothing, walked to Nalan Xianyue's side on the fifteenth day and said, "The reform of the military law can be regarded as passed, let me just say, this method is very good."

Nalan Xianzhi said: "Sister-in-law, I heard from my elder brother that you inspired him!"

Fifteen looked at Nalan Xianyue and said, "Is that so?"

Nalan Xianyue said: "You mentioned that there is a veteran in your battalion who hasn't been back for many years, and I came up with this method."

Yan Shaoyi said: "In this way, Fifteen is still the first-class hero!"

Nalan Haoyue said: "Well, it seems that Fifteen can be regarded as a lucky star for those in the army, those who can go home should thank Fifteen very much."

Fifteen said: "Oh, no thanks, no thanks!"

Yan Shaoyi said: "Now the reform of the Art of War has been passed, but the Financial Secretary will not allocate funds at one time. I am afraid that the implementation will not be smooth. I don't want Qianji Pavilion to pay for it this time!"

Fifteen resolutely refused: "It's absolutely impossible, Qianji Pavilion will not pay a penny for the reform and implementation of the Art of War."

Nalan Xianyue said: "Fifteen is right. The reform of the Art of War involves courts, and the Qianji Pavilion belongs to the Jianghu. If there is a war, it can be subsidized in the name of individuals."

Nalan Haoyue said: "Of course, those brothers in Qianji Pavilion must not be caught between the court and the Jianghu."

Nalan Xianzhi said: "What if the funds are insufficient?"

Fifteen said: "Insufficient funds, it's easy to handle!"

Four pairs of eyes looked at Fifteen together.Insufficient treasury is an important factor for the courtiers to oppose the reform, but now it is said that it is easy to handle on the [-]th.

Fifteen looked at Nalan Xianyue and said, "Brother didn't think of a solution, did he?"

Nalan Xianyue said: "I've thought of it, but first let me hear your thoughts!"

Nalan Haoyue said: "The two of you don't try to fool me here, let's talk together!"

Fifteenth way: "Investigate corrupt officials!"

Xianyue said: "Check for corruption!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their thoughts were so similar.

Three pairs of eyes looked at the two of them, and they couldn't help admiring their tacit understanding.

The conscription is still going on, and the news was announced in the board newspaper the next day,

Sure enough, a month later, Chang De, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was ransacked and arrested on charges of embezzlement and bribery.The property copied from the house alone amounted to several million taels, plus the land deed and house deed, and his property almost surpassed the reserves of the state treasury.

Li Huang was even more furious: "The soldiers are desperately guarding the country. These people not only eat well in Shangjing, but also embezzle the common people's finances." carry out.

Half a year later, during the second conscription for the reform of the Art of War, the Ministry of War was crowded with people, and there was a long queue. Bei Chen was successfully promoted to Grand Commander, and he was free to enter and leave the camp, and returned to live in the Jincheng Prince's Mansion.

At the entrance of the military department, Fifteen is very busy. Finally, my cousin asked those who came to sign up to fill in, and I have to choose the signups. The military law reform has changed the conditions for conscription. In the past, it can be said that all limbs Now you must be able-bodied and healthy, and those who are over eighteen years old.

When selecting applicants, I ran into an acquaintance, Ouyang Yu, who crossed out Fifteen without thinking. grandson.It can be said that this is the third time he has signed up to join the army. The main reason is because there are two birthday stars in the family, and he has come again after the military reform.

Back in Shangjing, Nalan Xianyue took Shiwuye to visit Mr. Ouyang a few times, and she and Ouyangyu naturally knew each other.

Ouyang Yu said helplessly: "Fifteen, just let me pass. Isn't it just five years!"

Fifteenth said: "It's not a matter of whether it's five years or not, anyway, you won't be allowed to pass." Even Nalan Jinrong disagreed with Ouyang Yu's joining the army.The great-grandson who is the mentor of these dignitaries is different.

Ouyang Yu said: "Then you will continue to let me be a moth in Shangjing and wait to die, or let me continue to stay in the palace music workshop to fish in troubled waters?"

Fifteen was counterattacked, thinking it was true, and for some reason, this Ouyang Yu was not as knowledgeable and ordinary as old Mr. Ouyang.It suddenly occurred to me that the business in Qianji Pavilion seemed to be booming. Lingling and Yuxuanyou were both busy recently, and they had been looking for helpers, so they came up with a plan: "How about I introduce you to a job?"

Ouyang Yu nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay! What job?"

Fifteenth Dao: "Join Qianji Pavilion and help Lingling!"

Ouyang Yu's eyes lit up, and she said pleasantly, "I can really join Qianji Pavilion, and I'm still an important member inside!"

Fifteenth said: "Ah, this depends on whether Lingling thinks you are useful!"

Ouyang Yu said: "Yes, it's definitely useful, I know everything!" I don't know where the confidence comes from, Ouyang Yu does know a little about many things, but it's just a little bit.Fortunately, it's just a slap in the face, and there are no high requirements.

After a busy day, Shiwu was lazy and saw Nalan Xianyue and the others coming out of the Ministry of War. Today, there is a happy event in the Jincheng Palace, which is the birth of Xianzi's son on the full moon. There are many guests gathered in the palace to congratulate him. .

Fifteen had been standing next to the little birthday boy with Fengfeng and Peipei since he came back from the Ministry of War, pinching the baby's cheek from time to time, and couldn't put it down.Feng Feng was not happy when he saw that Fifteen couldn't keep his eyes open. He ran to Nalan Xianyue and tugged on Nalan Xianyue's robe, and said aggrievedly: "Mother doesn't like Daddy and Feng when she has a younger brother." Feng!" He pointed in the direction of Fifteen, only to see Fifteen laying on the wooden crib, grinning and fighting with the child.

So Nalan Xianyue came to Fifteen with Fengfeng in her arms and told Xianzhi to take care of the child, then pulled Fifteen and the family of three came to the quiet Beiyuan.

Nalan Xianyue jokingly asked: "Fengfeng said you only like other people's children and not your own?"

Fifteen looked at Fengfeng in amazement, and saw Fengfeng hugging Nalan Xianyue and leaning on his shoulder in an aggrieved moment. He instantly understood the feelings because this kid was jealous, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Fengfeng, my baby, smash it!" How could Daddy not like you, come here, Daddy baby!"

Fengfeng still hugged Nalan Xianyue and said: "It's mother..."

Fifteen was depressed, but still compromised and said, "Yes, yes, it's mother, come and hug me!" Fengfeng flung himself into Shiwu's arms in satisfaction.Fifteen happily hugged Nalan Xianyue and muttered, "This little boy has a very stubborn temper, I don't know who he looks like?"

Fengfeng opened his mouth and said: "Mother's birth is just like mother's!"

Nalan Xianyue and Fifteen were embarrassed to hear these words, and Fifteen stepped up to Nalan Xianyue's ear and whispered, "Why don't you work harder tonight, why don't you create another younger brother for Fengfeng to play with?" how?"

Nalan Xianyue's face was full of black lines, but she still agreed: "Okay, let's work hard together!" Then the family of three laughed.

Sure enough, the two of them really worked hard to make a baby at night, but it's not known how effective it will be.

The early morning in Beijing was very lazy. Fifteen was lazy again because someone had indulged in him last night, and it happened that he didn't have to report to the Ministry of War today.Nalan Jincheng took Fengfeng and Peipei to practice Tai Chi in the yard. The two children are also smart, and they learn well, even if they are not very stable.

Today, instead of going to the Ministry of War, Nalan Xianyue took advantage of the mechanism to take care of the affairs of Qianji Pavilion. Fortunately, Beiling and the others handled it well, and Shiwu was still lying next to Nalan Xianyue.

Three exclusive birds of Qianji Pavilion landed in front of Beiyuan's study, and this is a letter delivery!I don't know why Beichen is usually not so urgent. Now as soon as the bird landed, Beichen stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice and threw it in front of the bird. He picked up the bird and removed the branch tied to its leg.

Others also understand, because this is the news sent from Xuanyang City.

Bei Chen didn't know why he wanted to know the news from Xuanyang City so much today. He opened a branch to browse through it, and his whole face became gloomy.

All eyes were on Beichen.

Nalan Xianyue said: "What's the matter?"

Beichen said: "The South China Sea of ​​Chu State was attacked by the Dongying people with witchcraft. The King of Chuji personally took command and led the Governor of the South China Sea to resist for three days and three nights. Yiyang fell, and he disappeared!" Beichen's heart trembled.That farewell lasted for more than two years, and he pretended to be calm every day. This news really made Beichen explode, grabbed the sword on the table, faced Nalan Xianyue and cupped his hands: "My lord, Beichen wants to find him! "

At this time, Nalan Xianzhi pushed the door open without knocking and said hastily: "Brother, there is a message from the palace to let you enter the palace immediately, saying that Chu State has come to report urgently!"

Nalan Xianyue faced Beichen and said, "Wait until I enter the palace to see the situation and make plans."
