"Yes, yes, I am aware of my guilt."
The king was angry, but Zheng Pei dared not speak back, and his body became even lower.
Xiao Yuandao: "After returning, immediately re-check the Beiling military registration. The government must take care of all soldiers who have been injured and retired from the battlefield."
"But before this, the country's policy only focused on the fallen soldiers, and there was no such thing." Zheng Peidao.
"Then start from today."
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, "This is the fault of the court, and it is also my king's negligence."
"Yes, yes." Zheng Pei quickly accepted the order.
At this time, the man knelt on the ground again with a thud, "Your Majesty, I don't want any benefits. I just want not to hold back the country. I want to be able to watch my Great Qin become stronger step by step. In this life, I can follow your Majesty in battles." The battlefield is the glory of my life..."
These are the real Qin army soldiers!
These words made Xiao Yuan's nose feel a little sore. He lifted him up with both hands and said quietly: "I am so ashamed of our soldiers..."
This incident made Xiao Yuan see the plight of the disabled soldiers in the army, as if the country had abandoned them, and made him feel filled with self-blame.
They fought for the country, lost arms, legs, or became disabled in other places, and were forced to return home from the army, making life difficult in the future.
The complete improvement of the military system has become Xiao Yuan's first priority after returning to the capital.
After staying here for a while, Xiao Yuan began to say goodbye to the man.
The latter sent him off a long way, but after being stopped by Xiao Yuan, he knelt down at the intersection, saluted respectfully and shouted: "Best farewell to the king, farewell to the empress -"
Obviously, he regarded Mu Lianying as Princess Qin.
Xiao Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Come back quickly, Daniel."
When he heard the word empress, Yang Zhao couldn't help but glance at Mu Lianying secretly, and then said respectfully to Xiao Yuan: "Your Majesty, this incident is really too dangerous. You must not do this again, but if anything goes wrong. , Even if I narrowly escape death, I can’t escape the blame.”
"Yes, Your Majesty! If something happens to you, our country, Qin, will be doomed! What will the general do?" Xu Hu followed, fearful.
"Okay, okay." Xiao Yuan realized that he was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Zheng Pei, have the carriages been arranged?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have sent someone to go. The carriage will be here shortly." Zheng Pei quickly put on a shy face, nodded and bowed, as if he was ready to please Mu Lianying.
Because in his opinion, pleasing the princess is equivalent to pleasing the king.
"I'm not your empress." Mu Lianying didn't dare to admit it, she blushed countless times.
ah? Zheng Pei was stunned, while Xiao Yuan was happy: "She is the princess, and she is angry with me and has a little temper."
Hearing this, Zheng Pei looked like he suddenly understood, and he quickly and self-righteously advised: "Don't be upset, Madam, as the saying goes, if a couple fights at the end of the bed, it will be peaceful at the end of the bed, not to mention that the king and you are so loving..."
"Haha." Xiao Yuan laughed, "Master Zheng is right!"
"You!" Mu Lianying blushed first and glared at Zheng Pei, then at Xiao Yuan.
Her beautiful eyes are charming, even when she is angry.
Xiao Yuan continued to joke: "Look, they are still having trouble. This woman is like that."
"Haha, what the king said is absolutely true, what he said is absolutely true." Zheng Pei smiled stupidly.
"What you said is absolutely true!" Mu Lianying was filled with embarrassment and anger.
"Ah? Your Majesty, I'm talking too much. I'm talking too much..." At this time, Zheng Pei had only one thought in his mind. You two are having a conflict. I'm not a human being when I answer this question.
After walking for a while, the carriage they were looking for also came over.
Mu Lianying's body has not fully recovered, and she cannot walk for long due to her weakness. Xiao Yuan naturally forced her into the carriage, and the two of them sat in the same carriage.
In the car, Xiao Yuan kept staring at her, not caring about his warm eyes.
This ice beauty with a fairy spirit seemed to be nervous at this moment.
She sat opposite him, lowered her head slightly, played with the jade flute in her hand, and seemed not to look up at him.
Xiao Yuan was happy, looked at the jade flute in her hand, and opened the topic: "Lianying, do you still remember the first time we met."
This title was a bit intimate, but Mu Lianying still didn't look up and directly denied it: "I don't remember."
She was still so cold, but her emotions were already rising, like ripples in a lake.
"Oh? Really?" Xiao Yuan smiled and said with a smile: "It seems that I am wishful thinking."
As he spoke, he pretended to sigh: "Oh, I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
Mu Lianying finally looked at him angrily.
"The last time we said goodbye, I often thought of that white dress that looked like snow, but I didn't dare to make too many moves for fear that she would hate it. It's such a lovesickness, but others don't remember you at all." Xiao Yuan continued to flirt.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Lianying glared at him, "The majestic King of Qin is so frivolous."
"How can this be frivolous!" Xiao Yuan was unhappy, "This is telling love to the girl I love."
"You! Scoundrel!" Mu Lianying felt that she had no way to deal with him, so she could only blush and ignore him, but she couldn't stop her heartbeat.
That night, Beiling County Mansion.
Naturally, Zheng Pei hosted a banquet and entertained him warmly.
Xiao Yuan is sitting in the main seat directly above, and on both sides below, Yang Zhao, Xu Hu and some officials are accompanying him.
While the maid was serving wine and food, Zheng Pei also asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the Princess, she..."
"Ah, don't worry about her. She is in a bad mood and is still throwing a tantrum. Women, that's just like that. She'll be fine in two days." Xiao Yuan said casually: "Just ask someone to send some food and wine over."
"Yes, yes." Zheng Pei responded and ordered his maid.
Not long after, the food and wine were served, and Xiao Yuan also picked up the wine glass. He first drank with everyone, then looked at Zheng Pei and said, "Master Zheng, has the last immigration matter been stabilized?"
"Back to your Majesty." Zheng Pei quickly put down his wine glass: "The last time we moved the people, the Chu army had nearly 80,000 young men. After arriving at Beiling, the ministers ordered the government to settle them one by one and allocate part of the farmland. Today, most of them have written letters and brought in their parents, wives and children, and the population has increased from 80,000 to more than 364,500."
"Today, Beiling County governs various counties and townships, with a total population of about 1.2 million."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, quite satisfied with the result. Eighty thousand young people, some of them are a family of four, some are a family of five or six. After settling down, they will naturally pick up their wives, children, and reunite as a family.
Now Beiling's population is no longer declining, and the land situation has also been greatly improved. If it continues to develop, it is expected to become the largest county north of Qinzhou.
