Chapter 597: Heavy Rain

Yunqing wanted to recruit troops in Shanxi and Henan. The officials and generals below got the news and expressed their opposition.

Yuan Ying is in charge of military supplies, and he has the most say in this matter: "My lord, is the concubine's intention to recruit troops?" Yuan Ying would ask this, not because he was dissatisfied with Yu Xi, but because he knew that Yu Xi was soft-hearted. So he thought that Yuxi wanted to help those victims, so he came up with this method.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "That's what I mean. I'm going to recruit 200,000 soldiers. The princess didn't agree at first, but after seeing my firm attitude, she agreed to recruit 100,000 soldiers."

Yuan Ying didn't understand, and asked: "My lord, even if you feel that the troops in the northwest are insufficient, you should still recruit troops in the northwest. There is no need to go far and wide to recruit strong men from other provinces." Although they stored a lot of food, they shouldn't use it like this .

Yun Qing frowned when he heard this, and said expressionlessly: "I have my own considerations." In the past, if Yuan Ying, Xu Wu and others had doubts about his decision-making, Yun Qing would patiently explain it. Yu Xi disapproved of his behavior. As a superior, he had to explain the decision to his subordinates, which was really a loss of prestige. Like Yu Xi, who handles things on a daily basis, she will consult everyone's opinions before making a decision. But once a decision is made, everyone will be ordered to carry it out. Of course, if you have enough reasons to feel that this is inappropriate, Yuxi will correct it, but she will never explain why she made this decision.

Yuan Ying's look changed, and the tone of the prince's speech was not like this: "My lord, there are 100,000 new horses. In addition to the military pay and food, we have to be equipped with weapons and equipment. But our arsenal is already empty, and there are no extra weapons at all. .”

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "I have discussed with the princess, we will only provide food and not pay for the soldiers recruited this time. For the rest, don't worry." It really doesn't work, and we have to train with wooden sticks.

Yunqing's progress is not as fast as Yuxi's, but it is also slowly changing. It's just that Yuxi is too conspicuous, but it sets off Yunqing very plainly.

As soon as Yuan Ying heard it, he knew that this must be what the concubine meant, and the prince of his family couldn't do anything about not paying the military salary. But in this world, it is luck to find a place where you can eat enough, and some people will come if you don't pay the army.

Apart from Yuan Ying's disapproval, Tan Tuo also disapproved of recruiting troops at this time. One hundred thousand people, how much food do they have to eat every day. With this food, they don't know how much they can do.

Yu Xi smiled wryly and said: "My lord originally planned to increase the number of troops by 200,000, but I persuaded him for a long time before he agreed to reduce it to 100,000." You can only compromise.

Tan Tuo was really speechless. In the current world, Yunqing still recruits soldiers, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

No matter what other people think, the matter of recruiting soldiers is a certainty that cannot be changed. In order to make this matter go smoothly, Yunqing also selected 500 elite soldiers from the local area and various military camps, and prepared to let these people train the newly recruited soldiers.

Yunqing went to other provinces to recruit troops, which was very arrogant. But because it was a special period, He Ye and Qu Liangji couldn't control it if they wanted to.

The conditions for recruiting soldiers are not high, as long as you are physically strong, even if you look like a bandit and bully, you will be accepted.

Because Yan Wushuang had previously released news that there was food in the northwest, many people affected by the disaster flocked to the border between the two provinces. So it only took half a month to recruit one hundred thousand soldiers.

Yuxi is not surprised by this, these days the common people are lucky if they have a bowl of rice to eat, no matter how much they dare to ask for.

Just as Yu Xi put down the booklet, she suddenly heard a thunderous rumble. Yu Xi was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, the room was dark. Yu Xi immediately put down the booklet in her hand, and walked out of the study as quickly as possible.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw big raindrops falling from the sky.

It hit the ground, splashing rain.

Zhuzi said excitedly: "Princess, it's raining. Concubine, it's finally raining." During this time, everyone was in dire straits, including Zhuzi.

Yuxi also had tears in her eyes, and said: "Well, it's raining, God finally opened his eyes." If it doesn't rain, more people will die in the northwest.

In the city of Hao, many people took out all the utensils in their homes that could accumulate water to hold water. The children in the family even rushed into the rain to soak themselves in the rain. Others cried and laughed watching the downpour. Crying for the deceased relatives, laughing that they finally got through this difficult time.

The heavy rain lasted for half an hour. As for Yuxi, she watched it for half an hour in the corridor. Looking at it, I don't know where my thoughts have gone.

Xu Wu walked up to Yu Xi who was still standing there and said softly, "Princess, the rain has stopped." During this time, the concubine often wrote papers until midnight for the sake of the people in the northwest, and she was too thin to look good. It can be said that in the four months of drought in the northwest, only more than 30,000 people died, most of which were attributed to the princess.

Yuxi came back to her senses and saw that the rain had really stopped, only the rain was still dripping from the eaves. Yu Xi took a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and asked: "How long has it been raining?" Hearing that it had been raining for half an hour, Yu Xi whispered: "Half an hour, that's great."

An hour later, Yunqing came back. Looking at Yu Xi with a smile on her face, Yun Qing touched her head and said, "Don't worry anymore, this disaster is over."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "This heavy rain is at most alleviating the drought. There will be a few more rains like this before we can cultivate." The land has been dry for so long, and this rainwater falling on the ground will only wet the ground at best . If you want to farm, it’s not enough.

Yun Qing said: "Everything will be fine." Yun Qing's experience is more than that of Yu Xi's two lifetimes combined, so he can hold his breath even more. Like this drought, although everyone thinks that Yuxi has made great contributions, Yuxi knows very well that without Yunqing, she would not be able to survive at all.

Yuxi hugged Yunqing, put her face on Yunqing's chest, and whispered: "Well, everything will be fine."

Yun Qing stroked Yu Xi's head, and said, "After a while, you should take a good rest!" During this time, Yu Xi was really skinny.

Xu Wu lifted the curtain and shouted: "Wang..." Before he could utter the words, he saw the couple hugging each other and quickly retreated.

Although Yuxi is already the mother of six children, she is still very thin-skinned. Seeing this, he quickly pushed Yunqing away, and said angrily, "It's all you..."

Yun Qing knew that Yu Xi was shy, and said with a smile: "It's all Xu Wu's fault. He didn't report it before he came in. I will punish him severely later." The husband and wife haven't talked so easily for a long time.

Yuxi glared at Yunqing, then adjusted her clothes and hair, and then said to the outside: "Come in!" The business is important, let's put the rest aside for now!

ps: In the last few hours, ask for the next monthly pass. ~~~~(>_
