Just look at Hou Yunmeng and Wang Qiaoer next to Luo Zhixue and you will know that Luo Zhixue has high requirements for women's appearance.
In order to find two suitable female relatives of the right age for military generals, he had already spent a lot of effort, and finally found Fei Bingqing's daughter and Chen Yongfu's niece who were barely qualified.
But since Yuan Gaofeng said so, Guo Quanshu could only say: "Then I will consider this list again!"
Finally, Yuan Gaofeng also took out a list and said: "According to our previous classification, I chose the daughters of ordinary people. There are eighteen people in total. They are all legitimate daughters from ordinary scholarly families. Their family backgrounds are good or bad. The selection is mainly based on appearance and character.”
Speaking of this, Yuan Gaofeng added: "The appearance of the beautiful women on this list is based on Miss Hou and Miss Wang. The general will be delighted!"
Huang Chengxuan took the report and looked at it. He quickly flipped through a few portraits and nodded slightly: "This is fine. If you follow my words, we still need to consider the two lists in front of us carefully, but this list can be handed in now. Go to the internal affairs office."
"But it depends on what the general thinks."
As he spoke, Huang Chengxuan looked at the two people on the left and right, and then said: "Actually, we should not get too involved in the draft. Although the general is broad-minded, interfering in the harem has always been a taboo for ministers. I plan to expand the list and include all Send us the list of all twenty-six people who meet the preliminary qualifications, let the Internal Affairs Office have a headache for the specific list!"
After hearing this, Guo Quanshu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let me discard my list. Later, I will hand over all the lists of more than 40 people who entered the primary election to the Internal Affairs Office!"
Yuan Gaofeng didn't care. He chose ordinary women, and basically only looked at their appearance and basic character. They had nothing to do with the military and political circles or the gentry.
However, in order to avoid suspicion, he still said: "Then I will also send up the list of more than 100 people who were selected for the primary election!"
The next morning, when Luo Zhixue held a small meeting of the Minister of the Interior, after finishing talking about various government affairs, Guo Quanshu took the lead and spoke: "General, now our Baoxiang Army has taken control of Nanyang Mansion, Xiangyang Mansion, Yunyang Mansion, etc. Land, the situation is a little calm, and the army is about to march south to Jianghan. I respectfully invite the general to hold a draft to enrich the general's palace, and select a virtuous lady to be the general's wife, so as to calm the hearts of the officers and soldiers, and to calm the hearts of the officials and the people."
Immediately afterwards, Huang Chengxuan, Yuan Gaofeng, Chen Xingkai and others also followed up to persuade, saying, "General, you can't fight bachelors anymore, otherwise our Hometown Protection Army will be finished."
At first, Luo Zhixue didn't take it seriously because they just wanted to give him women, but soon he heard what these people really thought.
Damn it, give it to a woman? That's just their excuse, these women are just tools.
What these people really want is for Luo Zhi to have a successor.
I'm only sixteen years old, why the hell do you think you're going to appoint an heir once I die?
Cao...
Luo Zhixue felt very unhappy after hearing the true thoughts of these people, but he could not lose his temper because these people always talked about the country's foundation...
The conscience of heaven and earth, their rural protection army has not yet formally established a country. Luo Zhixue has not even been crowned king, and has always been holding the title of general.
However, judging from the behavior of these people, they probably regard the Hometown Protection Army as a country. Otherwise, how could the words "national foundation" be used?
Finally, Luo Zhixue said: "The general has made his own decision on this matter, and there is no need to discuss it further!"
Then he got up and left directly.
Watching Luo Zhixue leave, Guo Quanshu and others looked at me and I looked at you, and finally left without saying a word.
Luo Zhixue's reaction today was within their expectations.
After all, they let Luo Zhixue marry so formally.
But, we really can’t delay this kind of thing.
Seeing that Luo Zhixue is about to lead his army southward again, the guns and artillery on the battlefield are blind. If Luo Zhixue is unlucky and dies while fighting southward, won't the Baoxiang Army be finished in minutes?
Moreover, Luo Zhixue was alone, with no relatives, and no elders above him to worry about his marriage. Luo Zhixue had not thought about it before, so he had to let ministers like them handle it.
If Luo Zhixue's mother is still here, then this matter will be simple and there is no need for them to worry about it. It is estimated that Luo Zhixue's mother will take care of it herself.
Now, they can only bite the bullet and go into battle in person.
And in order to avoid personal responsibility, they did not speak alone, but together.
After Guo Quanshu and others retreated, Luo Zhixue was also thinking about this matter.
Are you really getting married?
However, this body is only sixteen years old. In future generations, it will be considered a proper middle school student. Even Luo Zhixue is still growing in height.
He had just possessed him last year and was only a little over 1.6 meters tall. Over the past six months, he had eaten well, drank well and exercised, and his height had soared rapidly. He had grown to about 1.723 meters.
In Luo Zhixue's view, if you fall in love at this age, it's enough to just talk about romance, and then get married and get a wife directly?
It's a little early!
As for purely for women, it’s not like there are no women around him now. Not to mention Hou Yunmeng and Wang Qiaoer, in fact, in addition to these two women, he has more than ten personal maids, all of whom are maids selected from thousands of people in the internal affairs room. The beauty is the best choice.
He didn't even need to hook his hand, just a look and he could directly communicate with her.
As it is now, he actually thinks it's pretty good.
This suddenly escalated to the level of marriage, and Luo Zhixue felt uncomfortable.
But, he could also guess what Dao Guo Quanshu and the others were worried about.
Now that Guo Quanshu and the others are worried, will the middle and low-level officials below be worried that Luo Zhixue has no heir?
Will the military lieutenants be worried that he has no heir?
Will this concern affect the cohesion of the Baoxiang Army and the combat effectiveness of the army?
Luo Zhixue had to consider this issue carefully!
He is alone and has no relatives, let alone an heir.
As for Lin Ayu, whom he brought with him during his escape last year, although he was called his elder brother before, he was once misunderstood by Li Tonglin and others as Luo Zhixue's younger brother.
But in fact, this misunderstanding only lasted for a few days. After Luo Zhixue explained it, everyone knew that Lin Ayu was not his brother, but just a refugee who fled with him.
To be precise, he was a homeless man saved by Luo's father.
After Luo's father died, the two of them got together, which was just due to inertia. Luo Zhixue, who had traveled through time and space, only helped Lin Ayu in a small way within his ability.
I can't say whether it's emotional or not. At most, I just have some sympathy.
Just like when you see a kitten with its legs broken and starving in the cold wind, and you happen to have leftover food in your hand, so you feed it to it.
That's all!
After Luo Zhixue settled in Funiu Mountain, Luo Zhixue handed over Lin Ayu to a middle-aged couple who had lost their son in Songshan Village. Lin Ayu became the adopted son of these two people, which could be regarded as completing the legacy of his late Luo's father. The unfinished business found a way for Lin Ayu to survive.
Later, Luo Zhixue had no contact with him.
He won't always take him with him, and he doesn't know how to take care of a baby.
Not to mention finding a younger brother for himself, or even asking Lin Ayu to change his surname.
That's just looking for trouble.
Now Luo Zhixue is an extremely pure loner with no cares or scruples.
When he does something, he always follows his heart and has no scruples.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thinking about how to start a rebellion while he was nestling in Funiu Mountain!
Even when there were only a few hundred subordinates, various administrative agencies had already been formally established.
He just wants to be the emperor, no matter whether he succeeds or not, what will happen if he fails, that's what he wants to do.
Even most of the time, he didn't treat other people as human beings...
When leading troops to fight, he could watch with a calm expression as the armies of both sides fought and fell one after another.
After receiving reports of relatively large battle losses between the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade, he did not immediately think of so many casualties and how many people had lost sons, husbands, and fathers.
But thinking about how to replenish the strength of these two brigades, and whether they can maintain their combat effectiveness in the future!
Now a group of subordinates want him to marry, start a family and have children. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
After having worries, can I still maintain my original intention to rebel and become the emperor regardless of everything?
Luo Zhixue doesn’t know!
But he knew that marrying a wife and even having children was no longer a personal matter, but a matter for the entire rural protection army.
The Baoxiang Army needs a successor and a stable and long-lasting system.
Although Guo Quanshu and the others' deep-seated thoughts were that once Luo Zhixue was finished, they would still be able to establish a successor.
But from another perspective, having an heir can also stabilize the minds of the civil and military officials under his command.
Of course, it is also possible that when Luo Zhixue's student gives birth to a son, someone under his command will have the idea of killing Luo Zhixue, and then support the young master as a powerful minister or even seize the throne.
This has both advantages and disadvantages.
Luo Zhixue couldn't pay attention for a while.
However, since the ministers raised the matter seriously, he could not remain silent and wanted to be appeased. So that day, Luo Zhixue ordered the Internal Affairs Office of the General's Mansion to start selecting maids.
As for when to marry a wife, who to marry specifically, and what impact it will have in the future, Luo Zhixue still has to think carefully.
This is an extremely important political event, not a simple personal marriage.
After receiving Luo Zhixue's instructions, the Internal Affairs Office began to select the show girls, but the Internal Affairs Office directly rejected the candidate list submitted by Guo Quanshu, Huang Chengxuan, and Yuan Gaofeng.
Even though these were only preliminary lists, there were a total of two hundred people in total. In order to avoid suspicion in the future, Guo Quanshu, Huang Chengxuan, and Yuan Gaofeng all excluded all candidates who were related to them.
Even the female dependents of officials above the rank of major, director, or above have been crossed out.
But the Internal Affairs Office still did not accept it, and instead sent people to select the show girls.
The officials in the Internal Affairs Office are also avoiding suspicion!
Who knows if there are people on the list who are secretly controlled by Guo Quanshu and the others...
If the list is sent directly, and the woman finally selected by the general is a woman controlled by Guo Quanshu and others, things will be very serious!
I don’t know how many people are going to lose their heads.
And as the Internal Affairs Office began to recruit girls, many people outside also started to think about it!
