The Prime Minister Seduced Me to Give Birth

The man said again: "These bandits, General Wu also led people to suppress them the year before, and almost half of them were killed at that time, but the rest hid in the mountains. The terrain in the mountains was complicated, and the army could not pursue them at all. General Wu led people to guard one. For many months, some bandits were caught sporadically. Later, Yutang Zhizhou came and begged him to leave, because Yutang could not afford the food and grass for tens of thousands of soldiers."

"Since this time, Zhizhou has never mentioned bandit suppression again."

Qi'er asked inexplicably, "The soldiers all have approved food, which is allocated by the imperial court. Why do they have to pay extra from the local government?"

The man smiled, "Young master, suppressing bandits is not an easy task, but it will cost people's lives to fill it up."

"Our army is not originally to suppress bandits, but to guard the border. Bandit suppression is an extra thing. If there is no benefit at all, then who is willing to sacrifice their lives?"

"General Wu is willing, but the soldiers and officers below will not move without any benefit."

"It's just a little grain, what do you say?"

Qi'er and You'er were speechless for a while.

In their hearts, the soldiers of Da Chu should protect their families and the country, so how can they still ask for benefits?

But this uncle seems to be right.

Bandit troubles are generally solved locally by themselves. After all, each state has 2,000 garrisoned troops to maintain local law and order.

The man said again: "After this group of bandits withdrew from General Wu, they gathered again. Now they are more and more powerful, and there are thousands of people."

"There are old and weak women and children, and they are still farming in the mountains."

You'er thought about it and said, "If that's the case, why don't you report it to the imperial court, the imperial court can allocate a sum of money specifically to suppress the bandits."

The man is really helpless. These two young masters have so many problems. Fortunately, I met a man who understands him, otherwise it would be unclear.

"First, the local prefect is definitely reluctant to report it. There is a group of gangsters under the rule, and they can't be eliminated for a long time. If the prefect reports it, it can only provoke the anger of the sage, and the prefect has no benefit at all."

"Secondly, it is not so easy for the imperial court to send troops to suppress the bandits. The army comes over and the bandits hide in the mountains. They are familiar with the terrain in the mountains. The ghost knows where they are hiding. Can the imperial army afford them?"

"The army may not be able to be wiped out even if it takes a year or two."

"What if it's wiped out, there will still be new people going up the mountain to be bandits."

Qi'er and You'er didn't know what to say.

In short, along the way, they can only say that many things in the world are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

A gangster, speaking from the mouth of this uncle, is simply an impossible task.

The man cupped his hands and said, "After saying so much, I also ask the two young masters not to go to Yutang."

"If the two sons don't want to go back to Xiangcheng, General Wu said that they can go to Luanzhou to find Gu Zhizhou."

You'er had long planned to come to Southern Xinjiang to see her grandparents and uncle, as well as her aunt and cousin whom she had never met before.

But that was all after helping my brother find Uncle Lin.

What to do now?

Are you not going to Yutang?

Ke Youer knew that Brother Qi would not be reconciled if he didn't go to Yutang.

After the man finished saying what he wanted to say, he said goodbye and left.

You'er looked at Qi'er, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Qi'er sat at the table, looked at the oil lamp on the table, and said quietly after a long while, "I'm all here, I'm not reconciled if I don't visit Yutang with my own eyes."

Yu'er nodded, "Then go."
