As for Yang Guan, Yang Guan means whatever Ji Wan means.
After listening to the speeches of the male subordinates from both sides, Ji Wan glanced at the sun outside the window, clapped his hands, and asked the eunuch waiting at the door to bring lunch. He ate and talked with the subordinates from the Government Affairs Office.
After all, her female subordinates hadn't expressed their opinions yet, so she wanted to hear their thoughts: "Chanhua, Xiaonan, what are your wishes?"
After listening to these men's discussions for the whole morning, Lin Chanhua had already made up her mind and was waiting for Ji Wan's inquiry on pins and needles. When she got the signal, she was excited and subconsciously exerted force with her hands, and put down the chopsticks with a "snap".
He said to Ji Wan loudly, "Your Highness, I don't think women are weak. There are many powerful women in the [World]. The world of immortal cultivation is so cruel, yet there are many powerful women who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Why can't we in the small mortal world?"
Yan Peinan then nodded in agreement: "Yes, if there are women who are capable of marching and fighting, why not give it a try? It would be a real shame if we don't try!"
Ji Wan smiled with relief. She took the initiative to propose the establishment of a female barracks, and naturally agreed with what Lin Chanhua and Yan Peinan said.
"I think Chanhua and Xiaonan are right. My soldiers are supposed to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. So what difference does it make whether it's a man or a woman?"
Ji Wan turned to look at the civil official on her left: "Besides, who says women can't have children after becoming soldiers?"
Pan Zhuo and Jiang Jian were stunned, and Cui Min was also a little hesitant: "Your Highness, are you serious? But what if the people in the city have many concerns and no one joins the female corps?"
Since Ji Wan meant to establish a female corps, then he and his subordinates naturally had to help their master come up with the most perfect plan.
Cui Min's thoughts were turning quickly. He was not stupid. His master had made up his mind, and today he had conducted such an open and frank inquiry, which was just to give those who disagreed less excuse to speak out in the future.
After all, what Ji Wan said was true. A cat that could catch mice, kill enemies, and help her win battles was naturally a good cat.
Listen to Ji Wan's meaning. The female barracks can't escape this matter of population growth. Thinking about it, Cui Min couldn't help but shudder. Thinking carefully, he realized that Ji Fuguang was actually exploiting his subordinates and the people in the area! This was almost taking advantage of everyone, both those who could be used and those who couldn't.
Regardless of gender, everyone should take it if it is useful.
"The benefits I provide to the female barracks can exceed those provided to the male barracks!"
After Ji Wan finished speaking, the scene fell into a strange silence.
Lin Chanhua was the first to break the silence. She clapped her hands in agreement, "Yes! Your Highness, that's how it should be. All the people in the world come for profit. Even if it's just for the sake of money, there will definitely be women who will join the army!"
Cao Ke, the new counselor who had just joined the conversation, couldn't help but criticize in his heart. It was really Sima Zhao's intention that was known to everyone.
If she really did this, and hung a living signboard of preferential treatment for capable women on the gate of Tongcheng, then in the future, if capable women wanted to become officials, the first person they would think of would definitely be her, Ji Fuguang!
Ji Wan glanced at his subordinates, noticing that everyone had a different expression. He then slowly spoke, "Of course, corresponding to this, once you join the female barracks, you can only have children at the age of 28. With this, your other benefits will also increase, blessing your children."
In simple terms, female soldiers are not allowed to have children while serving in the army, but Ji Wan will give each person in the female barracks much more monthly salary and subsidies than the male barracks, and will even help them raise children.
When you reach the age of 28, you can apply for discharge from the military, get a promotion, transfer to a civilian position to have a baby, or take direct leave to give birth.
Lin Chanhua clapped her hands in approval. She didn't care at all whether to have a child or not. By embarking on the path of cultivation, she had completely given up the chance to have a child.
She had lived for so many years and had seen so much. Having a disciple who was so filial and in line with her heart was better than having many unfilial and irritating children, wasn't it?
"But Your Highness, you really lack this kind of talents under your command. If you really set up a female corps, will you let men take charge of it?" Yang Guan asked with some concern as he added a piece of meat to Ji Wan's chopsticks.
Yang Guan knew what Ji Wan meant and had considered it in the long term.
"Of course not, my Lords, do you have any better ideas?"
Jiang Jian thought for a long time, and seeing that none of his colleagues were willing to speak up, he considered the meaning of Ji Wan's words, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, I believe we should recruit talented people..."
Jiang Jian hadn't finished speaking yet.
Ji Wan made the decision immediately.
She looked at the sensible Jiang Jian with satisfaction, obediently accepted the opinions of her subordinates, and listened to their advice very well.
"Okay, let's do as Zifeng says!"
After everyone finished their discussion and dispersed, Cui Min ran to Pan Zhuo's carriage mysteriously, pulled him back, and whispered.
"Yuqing, why has your house been closed to visitors these days? It used to be so crowded..."
Before Cui Min finished speaking, Pan Zhuo had a feeling that it was coming as expected. He shook his head helplessly and interrupted, "Alas! I feel ashamed to talk about such a shameful thing. Rucheng, please don't make fun of me. It's all my wife's fault for not being able to restrain herself. This is why I got into trouble... Alas!"
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal, Yuqing. Some people are jealous of you because they see you are so successful working for His Highness, so they are trying to make things difficult for you!" Cui Min is the best at making sarcastic remarks.
Cui Min then pretended to be angry and said, "Everyone knows that our Highness hates corruption and bribery the most. Tell me, are these flies deliberately trying to harm you by doing this?"
Pan Zhuo was a smart man and could tell that Cui Min was reminding him on behalf of Ji Wan, or even that this was Ji Wan's original intention, but she sent out the more tactful Cui Min. At the same time, this was also giving him a way out so that he wouldn't lose face and let the whole city know about it.
It is both a warning and a hint.
As for Ji Wan, after writing the last word, Ji Wan put down the brush, folded the envelope, and called out the messenger bird.
After she learned from Yang Guan what Pan Zhuo had done, she didn't say anything. After all, no one is perfect. If one can admit his mistakes and correct them, then he is still a good child. Ji Wan is also willing to give people a chance to reform.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. But she can tolerate just accepting gifts.
My mother is coming soon~
At the end of October, at the gate of Qingshizhou City.
"You dog slave, we are here to announce the emperor's decree! How dare you stop me?!" A man dressed as a guard pointed at the soldiers guarding the city arrogantly.
The soldier guarding the city didn't even glance at the guard and continued to guard the city gate without looking away. He had already sent someone to inform His Highness when they came over just now.
Behind the guard sat a slightly plump man in official uniform in the carriage. Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city had no reaction, he became so angry that his chest kept heaving.
