Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

After being rebutted by Xiao Xuexing, Xiao Zirong was still a little surprised: "Why not? Our people are serious about farming, but they don't anyway. They are still members of the Qi Kingdom. Bringing them out of the mountains can improve their lives. If they intermarry with the Han people, they may be able to maintain stability, and their living standards can also improve a lot, which is obviously a win-win."

Xiao Xuexing couldn't help but rolled up a few pieces of paper and knocked on Xiao Zirong's head and said angrily: "Those people are very barbaric, can you guarantee that they will listen to you? If there is a quarrel, what will you do if there is a conflict? If there are too many people, they will cause trouble from the hinterland, which may cause national turmoil."

Xiao Zirong covered his head and didn't say anything about them being so small that there couldn't be any major problems.

It is true that there are few people in a tribe, but Xiao Zirong just wanted to invite many people to come over. If there are few people, how can he support the huge project he wants to build?

Xiao Zirong held his head and was listless.

Alas, I thought that after being together, he would get the gold medal for avoiding death.

In the end, he didn't expect that his brother would still be merciless when he taught him a lesson, and he didn't look crazy like this. Could it be that Xiao Xuexing's madness is a hidden attribute?

But what Xiao Xuexing said was indeed reasonable, there would be chaos if there were too many foreigners.

Seeing his pensive look, Xiao Xuexing said simply: "Jingkou has a mixed population, most of them are overseas Chinese from Youzhou, Hebei, Qing, Xu, Bing, and Yanzhou. It is not easy to control them. If you introduce a large number of foreigners, Do you really dislike the stability of Jinling?"

Xiao Zirong said sullenly: "I see, hey, it hurts my heart to let such a good labor go unused."

Xiao Xuexing said jokingly: "It's not impossible if you can make them calm down."

Xiao Zirong rubbed his chin and said, "So you want to make money and study first?"

Xiao Xuexing suddenly had a bad premonition: "What to study?"

"Learn Chinese and learn Chinese characters."

Xiao Xuexing closed his eyes, he really didn't know where his younger brother's problem of being eager to let people learn came from.

Is it because I didn't read many books when I was a child, but I should like to read, why do I like to let others learn it so much?

In fact, what Xiao Zirong thinks is different from what he thinks. Han culture has a particularly strong tolerance. The standard for Han people to identify themselves as their own is very simple: you can read and write our Chinese characters, speak our language, Consistent with our three views, then you are your own!

Moreover, culture can be brainwashed. These people have no written language, only their own language. Although it may be a pity to lose it, it is easy to assimilate into their own people.

The Han culture can assimilate even the Jews, so what else can’t be done.

However, this is also quite difficult. He touched his chin and said, "Then let them come in less and do some basic work, and change the batch every year."

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. It is said that the standard of living in North Korea was not high in the later generations. They often had girls to work as waiters in the northeast area. It was still a very popular industry. Because they made a lot of money, they seemed to come here in batches After staying for a few years, go back and change a batch.

Xiao Zirong felt that he could do the same.

Xiao Xuexing ignored him, anyway, he will know how difficult it is when he actually operates it.

Xiao Zirong was still talking about it. He insisted on using these few people because of the small population. In fact, the most important thing was that he wanted to stabilize the rear.

If there is a natural barrier between the Han nationality and other ethnic groups, it will be very unfavorable to the enemy Northern Wei in the future. What if they choke the Northern Wei to death in the front, and accidentally catch fire in the rear?

If you want to stabilize these people, you can't just rely on communication, and you can't give them things. If you give them too much, if the delivery doesn't meet their wishes, there will be trouble.

It's better to let them pay the labor and get the corresponding benefits, so that they will not easily do things in order to maintain the future.

So in the final analysis, the so-called lack of people is just an excuse for him.

Xiao Zirong didn't dare to say that he had already started to think about how to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty, for fear that he would be mistaken for thinking that he was still thinking about revenge on Yuan Ke after he said it, and a bunch of people would probably come to do his ideological work by then.

Now most people in the court don't want to fight. War is not a good thing. If you can live in peace and stability, who wants to have nothing to do with war.

Doesn't it cost money to fight without killing people?

Xiao Zirong didn't want to make preparations so early if he could, but the problem is that Yuan Ke is really sick, who knows when he will go crazy.

He didn't tell Xiao Xuexing about this plan, so in fact, there is still a dark thread in the five-year plan, that is, military products need to be strengthened.

Military products are not only weapons, but also a series of supporting facilities, such as tents, tools, and the most important thing is food.

Now it is good for the soldiers to go out to fight and have enough to eat, but the inconvenient transportation of food and grass is also a problem, as well as wound medicine, Xiao Zirong wants to work hard to solve it.

It's just that the prerequisite for improving the quality of military supplies is a sufficient economic foundation, so Xiao Zirong didn't include it in the five-year plan.

Basically, if the conditions meet his expectations, then work hard, if not, let the people have enough to eat first.

Xiao Xuexing watched Xiao Zirong bowing his head to write and draw in a daze for a moment. This scene made him feel as if the two of them had not experienced such a big change. He did not imprison Xiao Zirong in the underground palace, and Xiao Zirong's eyes had never been a problem.

Um?Speaking of eyes, Xiao Xuexing suddenly found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Xiao Zirong's eyes.

He looked at Xiao Zirong suspiciously and asked, "How are your eyes?"

Xiao Zirong paused, and instantly entered the state of acting. This is a death question, and he might go back to the little black room again.

He looked up at Xiao Xuexing and said, "It doesn't matter if you look up close, but you have to squint your eyes if you want to see far away. But I don't plan to wear glasses for the time being. I'm going to see if I can adjust it myself. If not, I'll talk about it."

Fortunately, he didn't get complacent when he came out of the small black room, he would pretend to squint his eyes when looking at the distant view these two days, otherwise, under Xiao Xuexing's absolute memory, he would have been screwed a long time ago.

Xiao Xuexing thought about him for a while, and remembered that Xiao Ji's eye problem was not so serious, but there were some similarities, so he patted Xiao Zirong's head and said, "If you feel unwell, remember to call the doctor."

Xiao Zirong waved his hand very grandly: "No, I'm an expert in this field, and I don't need a doctor to help me."

Xiao Xuexing didn't say anything more, Xiao Zirong was relieved and said in his heart: Details determine success or failure.

You really can't let up with someone like his brother.

If someone else thinks that a relationship requires such a battle of wits and courage, and there is a danger of personal freedom being imprisoned if you are not careful, they must have quit it long ago.

But Xiao Zirong's brain circuit is different from others. Not only does he not want to run away, but he even finds it very exciting.

However, since Xiao Xuexing released him, even though the outside world knew that he had recovered from his illness, he still had to go out to show his face.

The ones who should see most are Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji.

The worry on Xiao Xuan's face when he saw Xiao Zirong was not fake: "Is everything all right? I see that your complexion is not good, why don't you let the master in the palace take a look?"

Xiao Zirong quickly said: "Thank you uncle, but I'm fine now, I just need to take care of it slowly, and the doctor in my brother's house is also very good."

When Xiao Zirong said this, he glanced at Xiao Xuexing, with a bit of anger in his eyes. It's not all thanks to Xiao Xuexing that he looks bad now, no matter who has been tossed for most of the night, he probably has to go out the next day The complexion will not be too good-looking.

Not to mention the lack of sleep, physically...he is still a little uncomfortable with Xiao Xuexing's size. The reason why he was not injured is that Xiao Xuexing is careful on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can only feel the tolerance of the human body.

Xiao Xuan saw that Xiao Zirong was just a little bit listless, but he really seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, so he felt relieved and said helplessly, "I wanted to see you before, but I was stopped by Ah Xing."

Xiao Zirong said seriously: "Brother is doing it for your own good. After all, my illness came on suddenly. If it is the sequelae of the previous epidemic, it will be troublesome."

Recurrence of the disease is not uncommon in this era, and so many treatments in later generations cannot stop it, let alone now.

Xiao Ji complained from the side: "I didn't even go in the gate."

Xiao Zirong said: "That's right, what if you come back and infect Huan'er? That's our only seedling!"

Xiao Zirong was a little guilty as he spoke, he knew that this reason would be hard to stand up to if it got deeper, after all, he had never seen Xiao Xuexing isolate himself, wouldn't he infect everyone if he went out and walked around?

Fortunately, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji didn't think about it, neither of them could think of Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Zirong working together to deceive them.

Xiao Xuan sighed and said: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so it is not appropriate to return to Jinling now, but..."

Xiao Zirong knew there was a problem as soon as he heard it, and quickly asked, "But what's wrong with Jinling?"

Xiao Xuan said: "It was previously reported that there was a band of pirates wreaking havoc in the south, and now it is said that they have moved to Jinling. I am just worried..."

pirate?Xiao Zirong laughed immediately, this is a military achievement delivered to the door.

To be honest, since Jin Lingwei was elected, he has been worrying about how to raise the rank of these people without military merits. After all, they are his personal guards. There must be some special treatment to make everyone more serious, and he doesn't want to give these people The rank of water is just right now.

He immediately said very energetically: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will go back in two days, and will definitely guard Jinling for uncle!"

Xiao Xuan was very relieved after hearing this, patted Xiao Zirong's shoulder and said: "That group of pirates came here strangely, maybe someone else is behind them, you should be careful."

Because these pirates came and went without a trace, even Xiao Xuan did not get any more information.

Xiao Zirong nodded seriously, then turned around to see his brother sitting there with a calm expression.

After a period of negative distance contact, he is now very able to distinguish Xiao Xuexing's expression, and he is not happy at this sight.

Xiao Zirong began to reflect on whether he had acted too cheerfully, after all, he should show a little bit of reluctance to part with each other.

But... Jinling and Jiankang are really close, and no one cares how long he works a month. If he really misses him, he can run back.

But in order to appease Xiao Xuexing's emotions, at night, Xiao Zirong wore a deep tulle dress, and only this one piece of clothing, her fair skin was faintly visible in the tulle.

Sitting on the bed, he looked at Xiao Xuexing in a very cute manner and asked, "Brother, do you want to drink clavicle wine?"
