Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 13: Still wanting to take a concubine?

Chu Shizhao looked at the complex plates on the map and fell into a state of deep thought.

The biggest difference between [Emperor Growth Plan] and the many strategic and tactical games he played before crossing over is the vast amount of information and the uncontrollable nature of the region.

For example, in the strategic games before the time travel, they would tell you the loyalty of the generals and counselors to you in a concrete way - whether this person can be used or not.

However, in the simulation of [The Emperor's Growth Plan], everyone's loyalty and ambition are unpredictable, and you have to guess whether it can be used based on the other party's behavior.

In comparison, what can be more controlled are the people's hearts, local literacy rates, the number of soldiers, the morale of the soldiers, and the amount of food and wages.

Figuratively speaking, if the policies you implement can benefit the people, then the people's morale will be relatively high.

As long as Chu Shizhao lowers local taxes, people's morale will automatically rise. If he goes to the countryside more often, investigates local conditions and controls the integrity of bureaucrats, people's morale will stabilize.

Since the local literacy rate and success rate are high, it will be easy to produce minister cards and general cards for Chu Shizhao to use.

Secondly, public opinion and the number of soldiers are also closely related.

Local people have high morale, and many are willing to join the army.

If the welfare was good, there would be more soldiers.

Secondly, morale has no connection with training at all. Morale is directly linked to military pay. If you can replenish food and provide military pay, morale will soar. If you provide soldiers with more reward mechanisms for killing enemies, then morale will continue to rise.

Daily military training only improves the combat effectiveness of these soldiers.

Putting aside other things, Chu Shizhao’s biggest problem now is that he has no real direct descendants, that is, direct descendants who can ensure that the relationship and interests can be completely tied together.

Equivalent to Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren under Cao Cao.

It is also equivalent to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei.

If there were no direct descendants of this type, the most likely scenario would be that Chu Shizhao died, and then his subordinates would be split into countless components and start fighting each other, almost disbanding on the spot.

And there is a high possibility of betrayal.

Looking back, the only way Chu Shizhao could create his own group was to get help from Li Fengning.

First, he and Li Fengning were married to each other from a prominent family, and it was a formal marriage relationship.

Second, even though they have no blood relationship, he and Li Fengning can create a blood relationship. If they give birth to a son, he will be the legitimate son and the legitimate heir. With this legitimate heir, they can completely bind the Li family.

Not to mention that the Li family is willing to be Chu Shizhao's direct group and core interest team, at least Li Fengning cannot leave this group.

In the feudal society, it was impossible for a person to break away from family ties, and marriage was the most stable bond between two families. In-laws were also a powerful force.

For example, Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji.

"In other words, advancing the relationship with Li Fengning is also the main line I want to further unite my tribe."

Chu Shizhao hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't like such purposeful things, it seemed that he had no choice.

It's just a simulation anyway.

I, Chu Shizhao, didn't treat her badly.

I have already been given the position of the legal wife, so what's wrong with giving birth to a big fat boy?

Besides, this is my own simulation, I can do whatever I want. How can I accomplish anything if I hesitate?

[In December of the first year of Kangxing, you hesitated for a long time, and finally "invited" Li Fengning back from Jinyang. ]

[“I have been married to you for a long time. But we still have no children. Please allow me to take a concubine.”]

Chu Shizhao's face immediately darkened.

[The Emperor's Growth Plan] is based on simulations based on the character's personality. That is to say, what Chu Shizhao said in the simulation is what he would say under normal circumstances.

What a coward. Do you need a concubine?

Come right on in!

Immediately, Chu Shizhao saw Li Fengning's shining 92 points of strength, which was 1 point higher than before, and suddenly understood why he spoke so unconfidently.

Because this woman is so crazy, she really has the ability to kill herself alone!

The other side of the screen.

Li Fengning thought Chu Shizhao had called her back for some important matter, but when she saw it was this matter, her face suddenly darkened.

After thinking about it carefully, damn, this is really a big deal.

Her husband has never had a son. Without a son, it is inevitable that these subordinates will have disloyalty. After all, it is too risky to have a lord without an heir.

Moreover, Li Fengning and Chu Shizhao have been married for so many years but have no children. His subordinates might even suspect that Chu Shizhao has a hidden illness and will not have an heir.

For Li Fengning, his business, which had been thriving with great effort, could not be destroyed halfway.

However, when she saw that Chu Shizhao wanted to take a concubine and even asked her for advice, she felt that she was really not a human being.

"No." Li Fengning's eyes widened, "Then why don't I have a baby with him?"

"What does he mean?"

"You think I'm not good enough?"

Up to now, Li Fengning actually doesn't have much bad feelings towards Chu Shizhao, but he can't say that he likes him very much either.

But she still has some admiration and good impression of her. After all, there are not many people who respect her and can understand her ideals.

She doesn't mind turning this marriage, which was somewhat deceptive, into a real one, but the question is, why doesn't he take the initiative? Does he want me to take the initiative as well?
Li Fengning bit her lip.

If she were asked to take the initiative in this kind of thing, she would still feel a little ashamed.

[That night, you grabbed Chu Shizhao’s ears and said viciously: “Do you think I can’t give birth to a child for you? You actually want to take a concubine?”]

[“Go inside and stay here.”]

[As soon as you finished speaking, your cheeks flushed. You mustered up the courage to say such words, which made you feel extremely ashamed, but you were too embarrassed to show it, so you pretended to be bold and said harsh words.]

[You are not opposed to contacting Chu Shizhao in your heart, and you have known each other for many years and have already accumulated enough trust. ]

The screen freezes.

Chu Shizhao raised his hand and pinched his chin. Looking at this line of words, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

[Since your combat power is much lower than your wife's, you are dominated by her throughout the whole process, and the intimacy and trust between you are thus improved. ]

【Li Fengning becomes your legal wife.】

[Congratulations on receiving an additional command. You can choose to have close contact with Li Fengning three times a day to increase the birth rate of your offspring.]

Chu Shizhao's mind moved.

[That night, you were unwilling to admit defeat and chose to have close contact with Li Fengning again. Your energy decreased, and the intimacy and trust between you increased again.]

Damn it, come again.

[You tried your best to keep up your strength and continue to have intimate contact with Li Fengning, but she seemed tireless. Your energy dropped again and you finally fell asleep.]

[The next day, due to your poor mental state, the efficiency of this operation round will be reduced by one third, and the chance of issuing orders will be reduced by one.]
