Do you really think that position is comfortable to sit in? Haven’t you seen that the people who were called “Long Live the King” in every dynasty are the most likely to die from overwork! How many people have lived past fifty and enjoyed their old age?
I get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, work harder than the cows, and eat only slightly better than the pigs!
He has no control over what he says or does, and even sleeping with a concubine requires careful consideration!
What fun is there in such a life? We are just slaves to power!
When necessary, she has to take the blame for the evil deeds done by concubines and ministers!
It is obvious that it is the concubine's family who bullies men and women and does evil things, and the common people are often the first to curse: Your Majesty is blinded by lust and is incompetent and unjust.
Even though it was the ministers who were behind your back, bullying the people and committing crimes, the people would still scold your Majesty for trusting the villains and not knowing how to judge people...
Isn’t it unfair?
That’s not all, not to mention their personal lives. They live their whole lives in an environment where the husband is not a husband, the wife is not a wife, the father is not a father, and the son is not a son.
Killing each other at every turn...
Qiao Xin felt tortured just thinking about it!
That little bit of desire that had risen up in his heart was immediately thrown away tens of thousands of miles away by himself.
This is also the reason why she is unwilling to bind to the hegemony system!
Isn't it a sin to cause thousands of people to lose their lives just for one's own ambitions and desires?
She would do anything to defend her country, but she really had no interest in fighting with her compatriots!
Fighting is so annoying!
There are already enough tragedies in the world, why should I add more?
In this life, it is enough to be a landlord’s wife who is rich, has free time and is not bullied!
But why is this simple and beautiful wish so difficult to achieve?
Qiao Xin sighed silently, life is not easy, being an ancient person is even harder, you have nothing you want, and everything you do is hard!
But he really couldn't just sit back and do nothing about Yuncheng. He couldn't just watch Qiao Yunqing fall into crisis and do nothing.
But in this chaotic world, Qiao Xin always feels that she has to protect something so as not to despair...
Well, I’m destined to be worried again in this life!
While Qiao Xin was complaining in her heart, she and her adopted son were in this dim little house, and in just a few words, they decided on the future development direction of Yuncheng!
Forming a private army and developing a supply and marketing cooperative run by the government are both expensive projects, but it happens that both the leader and his adopted son are penniless.
This guy has nothing to show for his achievements, but he still has a heart that refuses to admit defeat.
The more bitter Qiao Xin feels, the more her heart trembles!
How is this different from starting from hell?
She gritted her teeth and gave a most conservative time.
"It will take at least three years to initially establish these two projects, and the capital investment will be over a million taels."
There is no way. Yuncheng is too poor. What is the difference between rebuilding a wasteland and rebuilding a wasteland? His Majesty has completely delegated power and let Qiao Yunqing be self-reliant. To put it nicely, it is trusting him, but in fact, the court has no energy to manage Yuncheng for the time being.
In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and grain harvests have been poor in the north and south. Two wars have been fought with the Northern Rong and Western Shu, and troops have been deployed near Nanliang to prevent attacks.
With all these incidents, who doesn't need food and money?
The treasury has been empty for a long time, and even the mice are disgusted by it!
If Qiao Xin hadn't been constantly replenishing Emperor Wu's blood over the past year and stabilizing the situation in time, Dajing would have been in chaos long ago!
Three years was the fastest time she could give, no more!
Qiao Yunqing frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although three years is not a long time, Yuncheng may not be able to wait!
Even if he can wait, Nanliang will probably not give him time to relax!
Qiao Yunqing asked directly: "Can we build up the team within half a year?"
Qiao Xin opened her mouth wide. She thought she was radical enough, but Qiao Yunqing was even crazier than her?
That's an army, not a group of guerrillas. Do you think you can build a combat-ready army in just half a year?
You are dreaming, you haven’t woken up yet!
But Qiao Yunqing still thinks there is not enough time!
He said, "People are readily available. We can recruit them from the refugees and train them well. Ask me for weapons!"
Qiao Yunqing tapped the table with his fingers, and Qiao Xin immediately reacted!
I was temporarily possessed by a demon, so how could I calculate the current situation according to the basic configuration of future soldiers?
Isn't that just wishful thinking? There is absolutely no comparison, okay?
The difference in diet alone is huge, not to mention weapons and logistical equipment.
In her eyes, a regular army must have adequate supplies of necessary weapons, food, combat effectiveness, etc.
But right now, this is obviously unrealistic!
According to the current method of recruiting soldiers by conscripting able-bodied men, it would take three months to form a 5,000-man army. If things go wrong, they might even have to provide their own equipment.
Otherwise, why would Hua Mulan buy a horse in the East Market and Xi Shi buy a head before going to the war?
But their family can't do this kind of skinning behavior that requires people to work hard and pay money.
Weapons cannot be provided for the time being, but people must be fed!
We must vigorously reclaim wasteland. At worst, we can set up a few construction corps.
Qiao Xin also gave it her all!
"That's fine. Let's gather the people first, and work out the rules and regulations. We can train the people, and we can temporarily ease the food problem by cultivating farmland locally. With the seeds we have, there shouldn't be any problem with food."
The only shortcoming is what to do with this weapon? "
Qiao Yunqing wrote the word "Nan" on the table with his finger.
Qiao Xin understood immediately. The mother and son looked at each other and tacitly turned their gazes to Nan Liang.
The nobles were unable to escape and took away not only people, but also a large amount of weapons and wealth.
The Southern Liang Dynasty did not prohibit the noble families from raising private soldiers. All the noble families, big and small, did not have their own private armed forces.
In Qiao Xin's eyes, this is no different from her own back garden!
By then, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow some things from those nobles who are living a life of luxury, either in the name of training troops or by disguising myself as bandits!
At this time, the role of Shunzi suddenly became apparent.
Qiao Xin instructed him, "When you go back this time, find out the background of the major families in Nanliang. I will assign Shi Jinmo and Gu Lan to you!"
"Don't worry, old lady. I know what to do." Shunzi was so excited after hearing what he heard that he couldn't help but rub his hands together.
The old lady and the second master are causing trouble again!
Qiao Xin held her forehead and drove the two men out. They were both people who wanted to create chaos in the world!
