"Because of the population."

Lu Chensheng sighed, and slowly stepped forward to sit down at the stone table.

Seeing this, the maid at the side hurried forward and placed the brocade prepared in her hand on the stone chair.

Now that the weather has turned cold, people with cold stone chairs naturally cannot let the Holy Majesty sit on it directly.

Yunjin has been held in the arms of the palace lady all the time, and now after putting it on, there is still the body temperature of the palace lady, but it is just so comfortable to sit on.

Seeing Lu Chensheng sitting down, Lin Yu obediently poured a cup of hot tea beside him.

"What's the matter with the population? I heard that many babies were born in various places this year, and the firecrackers and fireworks are very popular."

The birth of a baby is a great occasion.

After the birth, it is inevitable to make some arrangements. Even in the homes of ordinary people, it is normal to have a meal of full moon wine during the full moon.

Nowadays, firecrackers and fireworks are not very expensive, so it is not uncommon to buy some and release them for auspiciousness.

Due to the number of babies born this year, the sale of these firecrackers is like crazy, which is enough to make some businessmen make a fortune.

"Because there are too few people. You see, the grassland has been brought down by us. Although there are some people who go to herd sheep and cattle, there are not many people. In addition, there is a large piece of land left unoccupied in Beifan Kingdom. .

Right now, the Grand Duchy of Kiev has been defeated by us, and the territory has expanded a lot. Compared with when Xinghan just passed, it has doubled in size.

It has doubled in size, but there are no people to send out, these places seem to be empty.

Next year, Weifu is going to send out four armies to attack the neighboring countries and knock down all of them. By then, the territory will continue to expand, and by that time, the population will be lacking a lot. "

Rubbing his forehead, Lu Chensheng said, he didn't feel anything before, but only now did he realize how serious the lack of population is.

A population of less than [-] million is simply a drop in the ocean on such a huge map.

Lin Yu's eyes widened slightly, "It's all like this, is your husband planning to continue fighting next year?"

Lin Yu actually felt that he could cultivate his health and rest for a while now, and her husband had already said that the population gap was too great.

If so, why not wait?

Seeing Lin Yu's somewhat puzzled look, Lu Chensheng shook his head.

"Of course I want to fight. Right now, my husband is still in good health and has many capable ministers. Naturally, I want to continue fighting. When my husband's son inherits the throne, he doesn't need to go to war anymore. He just needs to fight." If you have a good nature, then you will govern the country, let the people cultivate their health and well-being, and continue to develop.”

Speaking of this, Lu Chensheng paused, and said with a smile, "And now those ministers have changed, and they also want to expand their territories and build more territories.

It's different from before, they are capable and talented now, and they feel that the Xinghan Empire can continue to fight, why should they stop?

This is the time to establish great achievements. As long as they are defeated, their names will become more and more brilliant, and the records of them in later generations will only be various praises.

The emperor of Zhenwu's generation is one emperor through the ages, and those ministers are even more talented and learned. "

It is indeed different from before.

When the Xinghan Dynasty was first established, there were actually many ministers under it, all of whom disapproved of wars and expansion of territory.

Because their previous studies have been affecting them, be humble and defend Mo Gong.

However, as the time in the dynasty became longer and longer, under the influence of Lu Chensheng, coupled with the influence of the continuous expansion of the territory, the soldiers of the Xinghan Dynasty have always been invincible and invincible, and the Xinghan Empire is growing rapidly. develop.

He was not restrained by the war at all. Under such circumstances, the ministers gradually changed their minds.

The fight must continue, and now at this time, if Lu Chensheng wants to stop, they will not be willing.

When Lin Yu heard this, she looked helplessly at her husband.

It is said that those ministers are unwilling to stop, isn't it because of his influence!

Thinking of those ministers, many of them are polite and polite, how can they be so belligerent.

But now, all of them are almost the same as the husband.

"Husband is thinking about taking down all the territory. At that time, the population will be insufficient, and economic development and so on will be left to his son. The emperor of your husband's dynasty will just fight and lay the foundation."

Lin Yu spoke.

It can be seen that the husband thinks.

Let Lu Chensheng come over to fight the territory and so on, and let his son digest it when all the territory is conquered.

Such a large site may take several generations to digest and manage it.

But if you think about it carefully, when you look up, all of them will be the territory of the Xinghan Dynasty. That's pretty good, right?

It just happened to fulfill that sentence, is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng nodded with a smile.

This is indeed what he thought, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Lin Yu Sushou refilled Lu Chensheng with a cup of tea.

Lu Chensheng raised his teacup and drank it down.

"By that time, my husband can almost abdicate."

Lu Chensheng looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

According to his thinking, after laying down so many sites, the next thing to do to clean up the stalls is naturally to let his son come.

His son can also start studying in a few years.

What is more gratifying is that the eldest son has shown a kind-hearted appearance since he was a child.

This is a good thing, but at the same time it is not too good. Governing an empire sometimes requires ruthlessness.

And all of this, Lu Chensheng has already selected someone to assist him wholeheartedly.

Lin Yu walked behind Lu Chensheng and rubbed Lu Chensheng's shoulders.

Moderate strength.

"How soon will Sister Bai Yi come back? These two daughters have been asking questions non-stop for the past few days, and I am very anxious."

Lin Yu thought about the matter of her two daughters, so she asked one more question.

"The matter of the Grand Duchy of Kiev has been handled properly, and it should be ready to come back now. Only a part of the soldiers need to stay there and supervise the people boarding the ship. There is not much to do."

The emperor of the Grand Duchy of Kiev was executed there.

Lu Chensheng didn't ask the other party to escort him back, nor did he let anyone save his life.

These people will all be transported to the island. If the emperor is still alive, it is inevitable that nothing will happen.

So it would be better to kill them. In addition, the emperor's heirs were also killed.

"That's good, otherwise Yiyi and the two will have a quarrel again."

Lin Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

In Bai Yi's absence, the two daughters were worried and often made noises.

It was mainly because of Lu Chensheng's explanations to them when they were young, which made them more resistant to such things as going on an expedition.

Now that Bai Yi has been on the expedition for so long, the two women are becoming more and more worried.

Seeing that Lin Yu wanted to blame himself again, Lu Chensheng quickly changed the topic, and after chatting for a few words, he went back to the imperial study to deal with the memorial.

Seeing this, the maid took the brocade and hurriedly followed.

It is now autumn, and grain harvesting has begun in various places.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the grain output per mu of land is basically more than 270 catties.

This is definitely a bumper harvest.

In view of the fact that the national treasury is sufficient this year, coupled with the bumper harvest of grain, the price of grain has dropped a lot, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has also begun to allocate funds to purchase grain as a grain storage.

Because of the lack of treasury and food, there has been no reserve.

Because of this, Lu Chensheng was worried for a long time.

If this happens, if the grain harvest fails, things will be troublesome.

This year, the grain harvest has been completely bumper, and after adding that the treasury has enough money, it is immediately ordered to start purchasing grain stocks.

Most of the granaries in Xinghan City are empty.

When the time came to late autumn, the grain harvest was finally finished, and at this time, the degree of grain harvest in various places was finally counted.

According to what I said before, the top officials from all over the world have all received a large amount of silver rewards.

This was a reward from the imperial court, and they felt very at ease when they spent the money.

Seeing that the results are good, Lu Chensheng also announced that a new round of competition will start next year.

By next year, the grain harvest should be even more abundant, after all, there is potassium salt.

The people also saw the announcement made by the court.

I have a general understanding of the situation of grain production in various places.

No one said anything about such a rewarding behavior from the court.

After all, with such a rewarding behavior, they also saw the amiable scene of those officials.

I personally came to the fields to inquire about the situation, and if there was a shortage of water, I would find a way to solve it.

In places where water is relatively scarce, since there is only one water source, the people above will block the water so that their families can enjoy the water source alone.

It is very troublesome for the common people to solve this matter by themselves.

In the past, this matter was troublesome to the Yamen, and it was not easy to solve.

But now because of this, the officials will become tougher, and after the planning is completed, there will be water up and down, so that it will not cause some problems because of this water source.

It can be said that this is still very good.

After the autumn harvest, Bai Yi returned triumphantly with most of the soldiers.

Lu Chensheng personally led all the officials out of the city to greet him, and the common people also spontaneously lined the road to greet him.

For these heroes who set off, they still showed an extremely warm welcome.

Outside the city, Lu Chensheng directly began to offer rewards, and the soldiers who did not come back were not left behind either.

After the rewards are finished, these things will be delivered to them in person, and there will be good wine and food to follow.

The war over there has been calmed down, so it won't be a big deal to let the soldiers over there relax for a while.

After a reward was awarded, a full hour passed, and this was the result of Lu Chensheng not having a long speech.

After the award was completed, Lu Chensheng directly asked the side general to take the soldiers back.

These soldiers can then have a good rest and play, because they have all been granted a few days off.

Bai Yi returned to the harem.

Originally, I thought that I would take a bath immediately after returning, and take a good bath in the pool to relieve my tiredness.

However, she had just returned to the harem, and the two daughters, Nian Yi and Nian Yue, rushed over directly, and they were tired of her and did not want to leave.

Seeing this, Bai Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he stayed with his two daughters for a while, and after looking at his son, he went to take a bath in peace.

"This time, the battle is really different from before. It is basically a one-sided battle. There is no suspense in the fight. Although a country is destroyed, it does not feel challenging at all. It is not as challenging as fighting the Tartars in the past. Sometimes, there is a sense of excitement."

After taking a bath, Bai Yi casually put on a loose robe and came out with a bit of complaint on her face.

This is really a bit of complaint, feeling that this time the war was not dedicated at all.

At the very beginning, the commander guarding the border was a little tricky.

Lure them in with narrow woods.

If she really went in at that time, her soldiers would definitely suffer heavy losses.

The forest is dense, artillery can't be used, and the road is narrow, which will make her soldier team very long, so it is particularly easy to be defeated.

But in the end, the opponent was still defeated because he was seen through.

Except for this one time, the rest of the battles are meaningless.

Lu Chensheng smiled helplessly, it was because Bai Yi felt that he had no match, so it was not fun.

Chapter 8 Nineteen Fighting Viciously

After the autumn harvest, things are much less.
