There is a row of tables at the recruiting point, with civil servants registering, and there is a testing point next to it. Only those who pass the test can register. So there are two teams, one team takes the test, and the other team registers after passing the test.

The test was conducted by a school lieutenant and a dozen soldiers. There were two tests, one was the height test. Anyone who was under five feet five inches would not be qualified. Of course, those with insufficient stature could also apply if they had special talents.

For example, natural powers, excellent water properties, etc. can be tested individually.

The second test is weightlifting. The standard is to lift sixty kilograms above the head. In fact, as long as they are not particularly weak scholars, most people will have no problem lifting sixty kilograms.

At this time, Li Ye saw a very short man pleading. He was only about 1.4 meters tall, which was far from the minimum requirement of 1.65 meters. Not only was this man short, but he also had an immature appearance. Nine-year-old child.

No matter how much he begged, the sergeant refused, and the people behind him made fun of him.

"Hey, kid, go back and drink milk! This is not where you came from."

There was laughter all around, and Li Ye's heart moved, and he said to the soldiers: "Bring that little dwarf here!"

The soldiers ran up and soon brought the short man up. Seeing his front appearance, Li Ye laughed. He also had a beard. This was not a child, and he did not have dwarfism. Everything looked normal. An eight or nine-year-old child.

Hearing that His Highness King Qi wanted to see him, he was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, "Little citizen Zhang Maizi, come and see His Highness King Qi!"

The voice was not that of a child, so Li Ye said to the soldiers: "Go and find Commander Li of the inner guard!"

The soldier galloped away. Li Ye asked the man, "Your name is Zhang Maizi. Where are you from? How old are you this year?"

"The villain is from Zhending County, Hengzhou. He is twenty-five years old this year!"

"Why do you want to join the army?"

Zhang Maizi sighed and said: "The villain has no ability, is small, can't do the work, and is disliked by his family for eating free rice. I know a fellow countryman who is a little taller than me, but he was hired by the army, so I Want to try my luck."

Li Baozhen whispered to Li Ye: "I know the person he is talking about. He is very short, but has strong water qualities. It is said that he can submerge a stick of incense in water. He was specially recruited."

Not long after, Li Chenghua came on horseback with several of his subordinates. He clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm sorry to see you, Your Highness!"

Li Chenghua naturally came to check for enemy spies among the refugees, but with a population of one million, checking was not easy.

Li Ye pointed to the short man next to him, "This man is twenty-five years old and is a bit special. Do you need him?"

Li Chenghua glanced at the short man, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Of course the inner guards need it, Qiu Xuan also needs it, but give it to us first!"

"You guys, take him away!"

When the short man learned that he had been spotted by the inner guard, he was so excited that he kowtowed to Li Ye and followed several inner guard soldiers away.

Li Chenghua didn't leave. She wanted to report to Li Ye. Li Ye nodded, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to the military camp!"

Outside the ten refugee camps, there was also a military camp with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed here. Li Ye came to the king's tent that had just been built, and Qing Yu was making beds in the inner tent.

"Sister Chenghua is here!" Qingyu quickly ran out and took Li Chenghua's hand.

Li Chenghua used to be the leader of the female soldiers and was very familiar with Qing Yu and the others. Li Chenghua smiled and said, "Your master and several senior sisters are here! I saw them in the morning."

"It turns out that Master is here too!"

Qing Yu looked at her husband expectantly, and Li Ye smiled and said to Li Chenghua, "Since you have such words, you must be responsible for sending her to visit the master, and then responsible for sending her back."

Li Chenghua suppressed his laughter and said, "My humble position guarantees proper protection!"

Li Ye nodded, "Have the inner guards discovered anything?"

"Yes! I found out that there are Khitans and Xi people among the refugees, as well as many Sogdians. There are quite a few of them."

Li Ye was startled, "Who are they?"

"They are just like ordinary Han people. They all brought their families with them. It seems that they all came from the Shenzhou area. Why are there Khitans and Xi people in Shenzhou? I don't know why they are humble."

"Have you interrogated them?"

"I just discovered it today and haven't had time to interrogate it yet."

Li Ye asked again: "What about other doubts?"

"There are also other suspicions. There are some Hebei officials and some wealthy families. They also bring their families with them. The focus of the humble job is to identify those officials."

Li Ye nodded, "Try to investigate secretly!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

When Li Ye saw Liu Yan coming, he smiled at Li Chenghua and Qing Yu and said, "You go! Come back early."

Qing Yu happily followed Li Chenghua away.

At this time, Liu Yan walked in and asked with a smile: "How many days does Your Highness plan to stay here?"

"Three or four days!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "Let me tell you something, the princess gave birth to a son, and I have a successor."

Liu Yan said in surprise: "What a good thing! Congratulations, Your Highness."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "When my son turns two months old, I will put out the full moon wine for everyone to see."

"The first one is the legitimate son. This is the crown prince. Have you given a name?"

"My father named him Li Jin, the name of Jin in the Jin Dynasty. Please wait until the full moon is over before reporting to the court!"

Li Ye asked Liu Yan to sit down, and Liu Yan handed a volume of documents to Li Ye, "This is the preliminary refugee resettlement draft drawn up by my humble position. Please take a look at it!"

Li Ye took the document and read it carefully.

Qingyu didn't expect to meet his master in the refugee camp, so he was so happy that he hugged his master's arm and jumped up.

Qingyu's mother died when she was two or three years old, and her father Li Bai gave her to Li Tengkong, who raised her until she was married to Li Ye at the age of seventeen. In Qingyu's heart, her master was her mother.

Li Tengkong rubbed her little face and said lovingly: "If you don't take care of the princess, what are you doing running around?"

Qingyu said with a smile: "I want to take care of my husband! My eldest sister asked me to come with my husband."

"Open your mouth, husband, keep your mouth shut, are you ashamed?"

Li Tengkong saw that Qingyu's face looked a little unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Sit down and let Master take your pulse."

Qingyu sat down obediently and said with a smile: "I also feel uncomfortable, maybe it's because I'm tired from riding a horse all the way!"

Li Tengkong's face gradually became serious and he asked, "During this period, have you been feeling chest tightness, nausea and vomiting?"

"A little."

"Have you told the princess or your husband?"

Qingyu shook his head, and Li Tengkong sighed, "What a silly boy, come with me to find your husband."

Qing Yu followed his master back to the military camp uneasily. Just as Li Ye was sending Liu Yan off, Li Ye saw Li Tengkong and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Auntie, why are you here?"

"Nonsense! When have I been a refugee?"

Li Tengkong pointed to the big tent, "Silly boy, come in with me!"

After entering the tent and sitting down, Li Tengkong solemnly said to the two of them: "Fortunately, Qingyu met me today. She doesn't look good. Why don't you care about your wife?"

Li Ye was startled, "Auntie, what's wrong with Qingyu's body?"

"If you say you are a stupid boy, you are a stupid boy. Qingyu is pregnant, about two months ago."

Li Ye couldn't close his mouth for a long time. Two months, exactly the time he was in Chang'an, the sowing was successful.

Qingyu also widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Master, am I really pregnant?"

Li Tengkong nodded, "I have been diagnosing pulses for so many years and I have never missed a pulse."

Qingyu secretly held her husband's hand and wrote the word 'Chang'an' on his palm with her nails. Li Ye squeezed her hand to express his approval.

Li Tengkong was too lazy to pay attention to their little actions and said seriously: "As a doctor who has been practicing medicine for thirty years, I tell you two things. First, from now on, you can no longer have sex, as the child will be miscarried; second, Qing Yu It’s best to go back by boat, but if that doesn’t work, take a carriage, but if you can’t ride a horse, it’s also easy to have a miscarriage.”

Li Ye nodded repeatedly, and Li Tengkong prescribed another pair of anti-fetal pills before getting up and leaving.

As soon as Li Tengkong left, Li Ye was so happy that he picked up Qingyu and laughed loudly: "We have successfully sown!"

"What are you talking about sowing?" Li Tengkong came back and asked.
