Martial Sage

The wind blew across the city walls and shuttled among the crowds, bringing some coolness to this hot season.

Gai Suwen walked on the wall with his hand, patted the soldier on the shoulder, looked at the sword in the soldier's hand, and said a few words of exhortation.

Together with the national teacher Park Enci, the commander of the imperial army Jin Yanming continued to move forward.

There was a faint shouting of soldiers from the distant street, and after a slight restlessness, there was a loud shouting.

A group of pedestrians with dirty clothes were surrounded by pawns and driven away, walking towards the outskirts of the imperial city.

The corners of Gasvin's eyes twitched a few times, and there was a dignified look on his face.

"Imperial City, how can there be beggars?"

The two behind them glanced at the group of people, glanced at each other, and fell silent.

When the sharp eyes glanced over again, Park Eun-chi frowned slightly, and stepped forward, cupped hands responded.

"My lord, these beggars were originally the people in the imperial city who were responsible for recruiting long-term and short-term workers for the big households. After years of conscription, these people were unable to recruit young and strong workers, so they were left idle and expelled by the big growers. "

"It's delicious and lazy, I have a talkative mouth, and I'm afraid of military service, so I hide in Tibet."

"I was driven out of the city. I don't know when I was hiding in a hidden corner of the imperial city. I said some pleasant words and asked for alms from the officials."

The figure standing by the handrail was far from being as violent as before, but stood quietly on the wall, quietly watching the group of people being pushed and driven away by the soldiers.

The guards of the Imperial Guard looked at Gai Suwen's solemn face, gritted his teeth, and stood up.

"My lord, I have given these soldiers with short eyes a long memory, so that I won't dare to be an eyesore on the streets of this imperial city in the future."

Gai Suwen waved his hand slowly, seeming a little weak, until the figure of the last person disappeared at the corner of the street, he slowly turned his head and continued to walk forward.

"Years of conscription, when Nongsang made a mistake, the remote areas were erected and cleared. I was also wrong."

"The strong Tang is too strong, and even breaking the Turkic in two years, there is no way."

The black soap boots protruded from the hem of the luxurious dragon robe, and he walked slowly before striding, as if every step was mixed with this careful thought.

"Originally, I also thought that Goguryeo would be like the Tang Dynasty, develop agricultural mulberry, strengthen its soldiers and enrich the people, and try to rise again."

"However, Goguryeo is surrounded by heavy mountains, and there are few fertile fields, and decent crops cannot grow in most of the barren land."

"In addition to the Tang Dynasty's conquests for years, the neighboring countries can count it with one hand, and two years are not enough..."

Park Enci, the national teacher behind him, frowned lightly, looked at the figure in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

The king in front of him can only show the truest side in front of him.

The king standing in the barracks was born with a bloody aura. He was bloodthirsty in the court, deterring the officials with force, and even eliminated dissidents by killing them.

As a result, there is a widespread rumor that Gaisuwen was possessed by violence and the wolf reincarnated.

But the national teacher Park Enci knew in his heart that if it weren't for this dictatorial king, perhaps the court at this time would still hold each other's opinions and confront each other endlessly.

And Goguryeo, who has just merged, is very likely to be split again under the swing of court officials.

At least, for now, North Korea and China are developing military industry vigorously, and all the people are people. As far as the military is concerned, the entire Goguryeo armed forces are unprecedentedly strong, so that no country dare to underestimate it.

While thinking, calm words came from the front.

"I am the master of a country, and a stable country is the top priority."

"Without food or land, we have fought a battle and we have it. But the country is gone. Even if we are rich, it is cheaper than the bandits like Datang."

"Eastern and Eastern Turks, there are grassy grasses, cattle and sheep are in groups, and war horses are piled up. What is now? Masses of cattle and sheep have flowed into the Datang, and a large number of war horses are sent to the Datang Barracks as a tribute. This kind of servile life, I don't want to Yes, the whole Goguryeo people shouldn't have been there either!"

The footsteps stopped slowly, and Gai Suwen slowly turned his head, looked at the sky to the north, and raised his arms cross-pointing.

"Those areas are large fields occupied by our royal barracks. After the Tang soldiers retreat, the fields will be incorporated into the homes of the common people and redistribute them."

Jin Yanming, the commander of the Forbidden Army, followed behind him, thought for a moment, and arched his hand.

"My lord, suddenly these fields are returned to the hands of the people. Those former gentry and local tyrants are very likely to get even more aggressive from the people's hands."

"There are also such deeds in the file. Some squires who were mistaken in the file have tortured the poor people after being released from prison to vent their dissatisfaction."

"If it is distributed like this, without the coercion exerted by the military camp, such a celebrity is very likely to rise up, knowing the wrong intentions of the king."

The national teacher Park Enci stepped forward slowly, bowed his cupped hands.

"My lord, what General Jin said is true."

"Nowadays, most of the people are elderly people with Hefa, and very few of them have strong bones."

"Even if this field is scattered, it will definitely be a lot of barren and wasteful."

Gai Suwen frowned slightly, his face showed a touch of sorrow, his gaze shifted down, and he stared at the national teacher.

"From your point of view, how?"

The national teacher lightly twisted his beard under his forehead, and his frowning brow gradually eased after some thought.

After meeting the questioning gaze, there was light floating in his eyes.

"No...no reward to those white clothes who have sprung up in this war."

Gai Suwen pondered for a moment, then slowly turned around and walked with his hand held down.

"The words of the national teacher have some truth."

"It is clear that there are special government offices in the Forbidden Army, and those who inspect for personal gains and pervert the law must not be merciless."

"If an official is in a high position, he will go to the first-level. If there is no official in a high position, he will forgive his sins with his acreage, and he will be exempted from the torment of prison."

"At the very time, you need to work together, at least we have to overcome this difficult time."
