”Good, good, good!”

Princess Pingyang patted her hands and clapped her hands in praise: ”Youyang has a bright mind and bright eyes. I'm not disappointed. But it's a pity that the princess's house is too small for you to stay long. ”

Xue Lang sincerely said: ”as long as your highness needs Xue Lang, you can see Xue Lang. It will never change! ”

Princess Pingyang was stunned. She reached out and picked up the tea bowl. She said calmly, ”Youyang, be careful. This palace will take it seriously.”

”The words from the bottom of my heart come from the heart and will not change.”

Xue Lang said calmly, but his expression was quite firm. Princess Pingyang raised her eyes to look at him. She didn't make any evaluation. She couldn't see what she thought. However, Xue Lang didn't mind. He was determined to be his own.

princess's Royal Highness directly changed the topic: ”today's recruitment of young people comes to the army for military purposes.” You Yang, commander of Cang Cao and Tu Cao, I want to recruit 50000 soldiers. May the logistics keep up with me

Xue Lang calculated the inventory in his mind and said, ”if your highness raises 50000 soldiers, there will be about 30% grain shortage in the warehouse. In addition, my subordinate wants to know whether the 50000 soldiers recruited by your highness are recruited locally or from other places? ”

Princess Pingyang said, ”since they were recruited on the spot, they directly selected elite soldiers from the government troops to join the frontier garrison.”

Xue Lang directly put all kinds of data he brought on the record table, and Su Rong said: ”Your Highness, then, I have to remind your highness that it is not strange that some people in the family of the soldiers will die of starvation or sell their children and daughters in the coming year. Please prepare your highness to prevent the army from wavering.”

Princess Pingyang nodded.

Xue Lang continued: ”therefore, in the next year's farming, please allow your highness to allow the frontier army to help with the farming, so as to avoid the starvation and death of the families due to the lack of labor force.”

In the early Tang Dynasty, the reason why the government soldiers occupied the majority of the army was that the population was small and the productivity was low. In the ancient times when there were no high-quality and high-yield seeds and mechanization to improve productivity, farming was a matter of great need for labor.

The princess of Pingyang recruited 50000 soldiers into the garrison, which means that there is a lack of 50000 men and 50000 strong laborers. In Xue Lang's opinion, the impact is unpredictable, but one thing is very clear, that is, many families will reduce their output due to lack of strong labor force, and there may be famine and other phenomena. While watching the data collection,

saw that Princess Xue Lang was worried when he recruited fifty thousand soldiers from the soldiers. If it is drawn from the local government troops in weizeguan, the impact will not be so great. If it is drawn from the local soldiers in weizeguan, Xue Lang's worries will become a reality.

Princess Pingyang said, ”thank you very much for Youyang's worries. I have expected that. Therefore, the 50000 soldiers were recruited on a temporary basis, and they would still be sent back to their families when spring ploughing next year. In order to solve the shortage of military food and labor shortage

Xue Lang couldn't help but change his color: ”isn't your Highness's soldier in vain? Li Gong's advice... ”

Princess Pingyang raised her hand and stopped Xue Lang from going on. Instead, she said calmly, ”I know what Youyang wants to say. However, is it my power or the survival of the people that matters? Can you weigh in Youyang's mind?”

Xue Lang said in a hurry: ”it's important for the people! But it's about recruiting... ”

Xue Lang choked -

, but the recruitment of the princess is a matter of life and death, he only knows that the history is next year, but which day did not record. What if it's next year? There are more soldiers in the royal highness of the princess, and the odds are bigger, aren't they?

”What is it about?” Princess

asked her indifferently.

Xue Lang shook his head and said, ”in fact, the root cause of all the problems is the lack of labor force. The only way for soldiers to improve their combat effectiveness is to train more. Therefore, the consumption of military supplies must be increased. If you spend more time on training, you will naturally have less time to work. When you harvest, the yield will certainly decrease. Therefore, there may be famine. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded again: ”but also.”
