Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The prince also knew the emperor's purpose of sending him to the border for training, and he wanted to change. However, he was always at a loss as to what to do.

But after arriving at the pass, he saw with his own eyes that Princess Le'an, as a woman, was risking her life for her country and the soldiers, disregarding her own danger, leading the soldiers to charge into battle and advancing courageously.

Isn't that the kind of fearless courage to live happily and unrestrainedly and to be the bravest among all the soldiers what he is pursuing?

Even though Princess Le'an is a woman, she is a woman worthy of admiration and respect.

Therefore, at the celebratory dinner that night, the prince did not completely let go of his nature under the influence of alcohol. Instead, he discovered that people do not need too many restrictions and can live so freely and happily.

Looking at the drunk Princess Le'an and the Crown Prince, the Seventh Uncle felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and he wished he could beat them up.

But, no!

It will ruin the interest of the soldiers...

The Seventh Prince clenched his fists, endured it again and again, and urged someone to take the two men back and give them sobering soup. He couldn't bear to watch them stay there.

The prince is fundamentally a gentleman, and no matter how he lets his nature run wild, he still has a sense of propriety.

In comparison, Lin Xiaoyue was really a headache, even though Xiaocao, Ergou and a group of guards tried their best to pull her back.

Before leaving, she reached out and grabbed the Seventh Uncle's arm, almost pulling off his sleeve. With a strong smell of alcohol, she said to him, "Later, I'll take you to have fun... Remember to go, or you'll miss out."

That bold and uninhibited tone sounded just like a dandy boy flirting with someone in a brothel.

The Seventh Uncle always felt that there was something else behind her words, that she was hinting at something, but can you expect to hear any logical words from a drunkard?

Lin Xiaoyue had no idea that the words she blurted out while drunk had given the Seventh Prince a headache for the entire night, fearing that this girl was going to do something earth-shattering again.

-----------------

next day

Lin Xiaoyue slept until the sun was at its highest point in the sky, then she stretched and shook her head. The homemade wine was indeed good, with a mellow aroma and a smooth taste. Most importantly, she didn't have any adverse reaction of headaches. Not bad.

It's just that I haven't worked so hard in a while, and my whole body is sore.

It's just that... since coming to another world, this battle was the most enjoyable one for her. She hadn't felt such a good feeling for a long time. This is why she drank so much last night.

However, such unbridled relaxation should not be allowed to happen again. After all, we must remain vigilant at all times, otherwise, one might get into trouble if we are not careful.

Lin Xiaoyue was comfortable as she could sleep until she woke up naturally, but the Seventh Prince and others were not so lucky. The series of post-war cleanup and governance were enough to keep them busy.

If it weren't for rewarding the soldiers yesterday, they wouldn't have taken the time out from their busy schedule to let everyone relax a little.

After a night of relaxation, the skin should be tightened again.

In addition to the upper-level rewards, the Seventh Prince asked the Crown Prince to be responsible for the rewards, which was also an opportunity for him to win the hearts of the people in disguise. Then there were the captured Tiansheng prisoners, more than 27,000 in total. If these prisoners were not properly handled and settled, there would be a big mess.

But more than 20,000 prisoners are also human beings. We can't massacre them all.

Apart from that, although the massacre can show the strength of the army and make the enemy afraid, killing the surrendered is unlucky. There are more than 20,000 prisoners of war. Would it be against the harmony of heaven to massacre so many lives after the defeat, and make the people of other countries fear Dayuan like a tiger in the future?

then what should we do?

We can't kill them all, so we can only recruit them. We can't just let these prisoners eat and drink for free every day, they must be used as strong men, working from dawn to dusk to build some large buildings, construct fortifications, transport supplies, open up wasteland and cultivate land, etc., so that the prisoners can shine.

In this way, the prisoners of war also have a place to belong, and the residents can not only be freed from heavy and tedious labor, but only be responsible for monitoring the work of the prisoners of war. At the same time, they can also switch to more technical positions, such as mixing cement, inspection and verification, etc.

In short, while she was extremely busy outside, Lin Xiaoyue was able to close the door and recuperate with peace of mind.

At the same time, Ergou had written a letter to Xianyu Villa, asking them to dispatch people from the cooking team to take charge of the cooking.

After a few days, it wasn't just the expected five or six people from the cooking group who came, but members from other groups also came to do their part.

Xiaocao thought about it and thought, well, more than 30 people have come, it will be even more lively now.

Of course, they didn't come empty-handed.

The guards who arrived immediately brought the gunpowder weapons that had been recently made, as well as the drawings that Lin Xiaoyue had left behind, and a long stick that was tailor-made for her. It was two meters and three meters long and weighed one hundred kilograms.

At the same time, he also reported to Lin Xiaoyue that after she left, the underground passages at Xianyu Villa and Linjiazhuang were fully opened.

This was what Lin Xiaoyue had instructed the guards at the manor before she left, to dig out the evidence as quickly as possible to prevent anyone with ill intentions from attacking anyone in Linjiazhuang and using this as a handle to control her.

Once the tunnel is opened, if Linjiazhuang is attacked from outside, even if the enemy breaks through the automatic mechanism she has set up, there will be enough time for everyone in the manor to escape to Xianyu Villa through the tunnel.

As long as she escaped to the Salted Fish Villa and joined up with the guards in the villa, even if the enemy had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult for them to break through the Salted Fish Villa that she had turned into an iron barrel.

Yes, this was the retreat she left for everyone in Linjiazhuang before they set out for the border.

As for the destruction of Xianyu Villa?

Just kidding, not to mention the guards in the manor, all of them are iron-blooded soldiers retired from the battlefield. Even with the gunpowder weapons, powerful bows and crossbows, and various automatic mechanisms in the manor, even if there were thousands of enemy troops, Lin Xiaoyue would not even frown.

After all, even if the enemy could sneak into the country and reach Xianyu Villa, their numbers would not be too large.

If the target is too large, the military depot outside Wanbao Town will certainly notice something unusual.

Unless all those people were dead, if they could watch foreign enemy troops wreaking havoc in their territory without doing anything, or just stand by and watch, then they were either preparing to betray their country or they were tired of living.

The group of more than 30 people knew that they had acted on their own initiative and came to the border without the princess's approval. So at this moment, everyone lowered their heads, like children who had done something wrong, waiting for the princess to scold them.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, looked at them quietly without saying a word, just took the tea that Xiaocao handed to her and sipped it.
