Why isn't the princess in the mansion?

Nonsense!

My first wife is fighting on the front line!

Of course she can't be in the mansion!

Not only now, but even in the future, she won't be able to stay in the mansion often!

After all, Zhao Ning is busy with political affairs...

Thinking that he has married two wives, but it is actually a sham marriage, Ying Wuji feels extremely frustrated.

He looks at Hua Chao.

Hua Chao is also looking at him, or more accurately, looking into his eyes. When their eyes meet, her hands holding the food box instinctively tighten.

Ying Wuji smiles and says, "Come with me!"

"Huh?"

Hua Chao is stunned for a moment, but seeing Ying Wuji has already turned and entered the door, she can only turn around and follow.

Ying Wuji beckons to the gatekeeper and gestures for him to come over, then introduces Hua Chao, "This is my sister Hua Chao. In the future, if she comes, don't stop her and just let her eat and drink well in the mansion!"

Hua Chao: "This..."

Ying Wuji continues, "Hua Chao! A few days ago, I had someone clean up the room you stayed in. If you can't find me in the future, just rest here."

"This, isn't it inappropriate?"

Hua Chao is a little anxious, "After all, this is the mansion of you and the princess. If the princess finds out..."

She stops halfway through her words.

Because she feels that her words, in Ying Wuji's words, seem a bit gossipy.

It would be annoying if it were put in a play.

She never dreamed that one day she would say such things.

But...

What does marriage really bring to men?

How can Princess Yuanyang be so bullying?

Hua Chao sighs softly, "Wuji, are you satisfied with this marriage?"

Ying Wuji hesitates, looking at her tired eyes, and can only nod with a smile, "Satisfied! It's just that I'm too busy with official duties and have no time to think about other things! I'm hungry after sitting with the emperor all night! Hua Chao, what soup did you make? Let's drink it together and rest!"

"Okay, alright!"

Hua Chao assumes that he doesn't want to mention the marriage anymore, so she doesn't continue to ask and sets out the food from the box.

Seeing Ying Wuji eat happily, a gentle smile appears at the corner of his mouth.

After Ying Wuji finishes eating, he stretches and yawns, "Hua Chao, I can't hold on anymore, I'll sleep first! You can stay here with peace of mind. Mi Xingli can stay here and eat and drink all day without causing any trouble!"

Only after confirming that Hua Chao accepts this proposal, he can rest assured and go back to his room to rest.

Although they only played chess last night.

But they were mentally tense from beginning to end, afraid of hearing any news, instantly entering a state of readiness for battle.

So it was still exhausting.

The matter of the soap factory is also imminent, and he needs to rest for a while.

Hua Chao watches him close the door and sighs softly.

In this mansion of the husband, there is no sign of a mistress except for the day of the wedding when the bride showed her face.

Even the female aristocrats of the Kingdom of Chu can find an excuse to stay here permanently. Does Princess Yuanyang really not care about Wuji at all?

...

Han Mansion.

Conference hall.

All the high-level members of the Han family in Jiangcheng have already gathered here.

To be precise.

They never left.

Since the good news of Zhao Ning's victory on the front line came last night, they have gathered here and argued about whether to go to war all night.

In the end.

They gave up on sending troops.

After all, the Han family is not the Wei family. They don't have the powerful Wei Wu soldiers trained by Wu Qi, and they can't simultaneously fight against Chu and Zhao.

The geographical disadvantage they face is something the Wei family doesn't have. Once the spiritual spring is occupied by the Kingdom of Chu, the entire Han family will be severely damaged.

Therefore, after careful consideration, they finally decided to transfer all their forces to the border of Li Chu, not allowing the Kingdom of Chu to covet them.

Everything comes at a price.

When they made this decision, they were already prepared to bear the anger of the Wei family.

After all, the Han family has already provoked the Wei family many times.

The matter with Wei Teng has not been resolved yet.

And they also betrayed the Wei-Han alliance in attacking Zhao.

Changing places.

This person can't hold back.

But judging from the current situation, no matter what the Han family does, even if they dig up the ancestral grave of the Wei family, the Wei and Han families are still tied together like grasshoppers on a rope.

You can be angry, but after being angry, we are still good brothers.

You can say how you want to vent your anger, and we will follow you, brothers!

After all, neither of our families can afford to overturn the table.

From the final result, it seems that both sides can accept it.

Only Han Wei is sobbing, "Father, Father..."

Blood flows down the corners of his mouth, and only half of his tongue remains. He can't express his grievances.Han Zhe waved his hand impatiently, "I got it, I got it! Everyone will remember your contribution to the Han family. Focus on your cultivation for now. Once you break through to the Soldier Realm, you will become a sacrifice for our Han family. True experts don't need to speak!"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

Han Wei wanted to say something, but his voice couldn't be heard by anyone.

In the end, he could only leave the council hall silently under the guidance of the physician.

After all, there were many sons of Han Zhe, and he was not indispensable.

As for breaking through to the Soldier Realm...

There was indeed a chance to achieve it by focusing on cultivation!

But it was only a chance!

Even if he broke through to the Soldier Realm.

He would still be a speechless Soldier Realm.

Unable to become a general.

Only able to be a hidden pawn behind the scenes.

A lifetime spent in the shadows.

Han Wei's situation did not cause any waves.

Because if the Wei and Han families were willing to vent their anger in this way, it meant that the two families still had the possibility of cooperating.

Someone asked, "Lord! If we miss the opportunity to send troops this time, it will be difficult to send troops in the future. What should we do?"

...

Han Zhe's expression also became serious.

Because no matter how you looked at it, the joint attack of the Wei and Han families on Zhao Tu was the most profitable choice.

But now, Qian Chu had deployed troops on the border, making them unable to make any rash moves. They could only watch this opportunity slip away.

Was Han Zhe not angry?

He was truly angry!

He also wanted to learn from the Wei family and forcefully exchange land with the Zhao family, but the Han family did not have the same powerful military strength as the Wei family, nor did they have a geographical location that could be gambled on.

He could only secretly resent why Zhao Ji was so stubborn, preferring to provoke two hungry wolves rather than feed the Wei and Han families with flesh.

But now, it was useless to be entangled in these issues.

Han Zhe suddenly stood up and pointed to the map on the wall, "Kingdom Di is vulnerable, that is an indisputable fact. Zhao Ning will completely capture the new land, it's just a matter of time. But building the new land is not something that can be solved by winning a few battles.

They need people!

We won't give them any people!

Starting today, lift the ban on agricultural iron tools and private land. For every acre of public land cultivated, one acre of private land can be developed. For the first three years of cultivation, there will be no taxes on private land.

In addition, the Han territories will set up outposts in strategic locations to prevent any refugees from leaving.

I want to see how our Emperor can snatch people from our Han territories."

Everyone took a deep breath.

There was no war last night.

But in fact, the war had already begun.

It had changed from a close combat to a battle for people.

Since the invention of printing, Zhao Ji, the King of Li, liked to spread various policies in the Li territories, which had caused quite a bit of trouble for the Wei and Han families.

If they really captured the new land, the Wei and Han families would inevitably be at a disadvantage in snatching people.

But for the refugees.

With a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, they could make them stay in their homeland for a lifetime.

But someone still asked, "But Lord, the policies published and distributed by His Majesty are much more generous than the conditions we offer. This..."

"That's just a rumor!"

Han Zhe's voice was cold and hard.

The person wanted to say something more.

But Han Zhe waved his hand to interrupt and directly asked, "Is it difficult to make a group of ignorant people believe that a certain piece of news is a rumor?"

The person: "..."

Han Zhe snorted coldly, "Since ancient times! Which monarch, which noble family, has ever given away fertile land on such a large scale to the common people? Ask them if they think they deserve it?

Why would this huge pie fall on their heads?

Will they be well-fed and vigorous after eating this pie, or will they be poisoned and die?

Arrange more scholars to spread the word that this is a conspiracy of the Li royal family, a conspiracy that only the wise can see through, during idle conversations on the streets."

Everyone exchanged glances.

It seemed feasible.

But someone still asked, "But will they believe it?"

Han Zhe sneered, "Why wouldn't they believe it? Those ignorant people have always been eager to become wise. As long as our policies in Han territories can show them short-term benefits, they will believe whatever we say. They will not only believe, but they will also feel enlightened."

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly reached a consensus.

Han Zhe narrowed his eyes, "In addition! Contact those small noble families bordering Han territories and have them cooperate in setting up outposts. Anyone captured from Han territories must be handed over! If they don't cooperate, let them bear the consequences!"

...

"Yes!"

The Han family's response plan for this reform was completely finalized.

Han Zhe knew that reform was not something that could be achieved in a day, and the Han family's response would inevitably be a protracted battle.

Preventing thieves for a thousand days would be extremely difficult.

But he still had great confidence.

Because even though the nobles could use transmission symbols and the royal family could use printing to the greatest effect, in the end, the flow of information among the common people was still blocked.In this world, ninety percent of the people cannot read.

Even if Zhao Ji's printed materials can be distributed to everyone, they still have to rely on literate people to read them out.

As long as the literate people who have mastered these characters, they can still grasp everything about the Han people.

Unless...

Those ignorant people suddenly start to open their eyes and see the world, suddenly understand everything about the new land.

Is that possible?

Han Zhe laughed at this idea.

He waved his hand, "Everyone, disperse!"

The high-level members of the Han family dispersed and went to attend to their own affairs.

Han Zhe stretched lazily and prepared to rest in his own courtyard.

But he didn't expect to see Zheng Yuan rushing over with a pale face as soon as he sat down. "Han Wei's tongue was pulled out by the Wei family! He came to me just now, almost fainting from crying."

Although Han Wei was not her biological son, Han Wei and Han Xie, these two brothers, were quite respectful to her in the past.

Now that Han Xie is dead and Han Wei's tongue has been pulled out, seeing this situation is still somewhat lamentable.

Han Zhe snorted coldly, "Originally, it wasn't his turn, but this kid is obsessed with making achievements. I hinted at him several times but couldn't stop him! It's good for him to suffer a loss early on with such a desperate pursuit of immediate gains. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died in the future!"

Zheng Yuan: "..."

She knew very well that Han Wei was eager to make achievements.

But ultimately, it was the inheritance of the position of the Han family's patriarch that made these two brothers take risks.

In the previous Tomb Plateau incident, it was Han Wei who led the younger generation of the Han family. Although the final failure was not Han Wei's fault, everything was attributed to him. He was eager to regain some face, so he chose...

Han Zhe's face darkened, "Don't worry about other people's sons for now!"

Zheng Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied, "What do you mean?"

In recent days, Han Zhe's attitude towards her can be said to be quite bad.

"What do I mean? The literal meaning!" Han Zhe frowned slightly, "What Han Xie did was much worse than what Han Wei did! If I hadn't firmly suppressed those old guys, and if it weren't for Zheng's family standing behind Han Xie, do you think Han Xie's fate would be better than Han Wei's?"

Zheng Yuan: "..."

Although she rarely interfered in the major affairs of the Han family, as the head of the family, how could she not understand the interests involved?

Han Zhe sighed lightly, "When I see Han Xie, all he talks about is the so-called 'trend.' If the 'trend' can really be catered to just by saying so, then why are there so many bones under the yellow earth? You, as a mother, don't seem very smart. You probably don't understand the 'trend.' Go and advise him, see if your advice works!"

Zheng Yuan: "..."

Han Zhe thought for a moment and added, "Also! The land connecting the Han territory and the new land must not be lost. Inform the elders of the Zheng family to come to Jiang within three days!"

...

Zheng Yuan sighed, "Alright!"

A few days ago, the elders of the Zheng family wrote a letter, saying that they didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Zhao and Han families in any form.

But unexpectedly, they still got involved.

...

Waking up from a nap.

The sky had already darkened.

Ying Wuji stretched lazily. He had slept for a whole day, and his spirit had finally recovered.

Since condensing the Superb Spirit Fetus, he felt even more energetic.

This process didn't even require cultivation.

All he needed to do seemed to be just sleep.

I haven't heard of other Spirit Fetus realms being like this!

Could it be...

He looked at the little white fox sleeping soundly in the bed and suddenly thought of something.

"The real battle with real weapons, the Wei and Han families probably won't fight anymore."

"The main wife has achieved victory on the front line, and the next step will definitely be a battle to recruit people."

"Let's see how my leeks are growing."

Ying Wuji closed his eyes again and entered the dream world of the hundred thousand stars in the sky.

With a casual move, tens of thousands of people entered the dream together.

But this time, Ying Wuji found that something was wrong.

Because the first reaction of many people after entering the dream was, "Didn't I already wake up? Why am I still entering this dream? Could it be that I still have a foolish fantasy about the conspiracy of the Li royal family?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Damn it!

These people haven't even read a few books.

How did they "wake up"?

What the hell did you guys wake up to?

Could it be that my old father-in-law's new land policy doesn't appeal to you anymore?

Looking at the origins of these people, they are all from the Han territory.

Han Zhe, this old man, reacts quickly!

He actually managed to use this trick so quickly.

If it's the same in the Wei territory...

If these people are deceived, the consequences will be unimaginable.Ying Wuji felt a bit annoyed and decisively kicked them out of his dream, quickly rushing towards the royal palace.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed, leading him directly to Zhao Ji in Chongli Palace.

"Father!"

"Wuji! Come and sit!"

Zhao Ji waved with a smile, "I have selected over a thousand experts to escort you to the soap factory, what do you think?"

Ying Wuji bowed with a smile, "Father is always considerate of me. However, before heading to the soap factory, I wish to visit the front lines first!"

"Oh? Why?"

"I heard that the Crown Prince's beheading operation was a great success, but he also suffered three sword wounds on his right shoulder. I... I am worried! Please allow me, Father, to personally deliver medicine to the Crown Prince."

"..."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Just one night's time.

And this kid was already firmly grasped by Ning'er?

Good!

Very good!

He immediately nodded, "Granted! But don't delay too long, you can stay at the front line for a maximum of three days!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"You will set off early tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Ji suddenly lowered his voice, "As for tonight! You... should stay in Qingjiang Palace!"

Ying Wuji: "…"

Watching Ying Wuji leave.

…

Zhao Ji couldn't help but reveal a smile, knowing that he was so easy to manipulate, why did he bother worrying about so many things?

He now only hoped that the situation would stabilize as soon as possible.

Then Zhao Ning and Li Caimei could have their offspring as soon as possible.

In this way, not only would Zhao Ning's position be secure, but Ying Wuji would also be firmly tied to the Li royal family.

As for who comes first and who comes later, it's not that important anymore.

Because by then, all the decision-making power would be in Zhao Ning's hands.

…

Qingjiang Palace.

Upon hearing that Ying Wuji was rushing to the front line, Li Caimei's heart skipped a beat, "You're so worried about Zhao Ning getting hurt…"

"Are you jealous?"

Ying Wuji asked with a grin.

"Not at all!"

Li Caimei huffed, "If it were any other woman you were concerned about, I would certainly not allow it. But if it's Zhao Ning... you can care all you want!"

Ying Wuji was somewhat surprised, "Huh? Really?"

Li Caimei pursed her lips, "Of course it's true! If it weren't for her help, I would have become a walking corpse long ago. How could I possibly harbor any jealousy towards her? But if it's any other woman, you can't even mention her in front of me, I'm petty!"

Ying Wuji: "…"

Li Caimei chuckled, "But your trip to the front line this time, it's not just for her injury, right?"

"Of course not!"

"Then what is it for?"

"To gather some inspiration, and show some people the fertile land of the North!"

"Oh…"

Li Caimei took his words as him going for creative inspiration.

Although she had just said she wasn't jealous of Zhao Ning, she felt much happier knowing that Ying Wuji had other purposes.

She gently pounded Ying Wuji's shoulder, "Since you're leaving early tomorrow morning, you should go back and rest!"

"No!"

Ying Wuji shook his head, "Tonight, I'm staying here! I missed you on our wedding night, tonight I'll make up for it!"

Li Caimei: "!

!"

I want to drink hot and spicy soup.
