"Mr. Jiang Han, what do you think of the conditions of the Goryeo people?"

Chen Dexing sent Liu Yu out of the yamen with a spring breeze on his face, but did not immediately summon Zhang Jiu and Zhou Xiaoqi, but returned to the festival hall and talked to Zhao Fu.∷

"The Lord, the conditions of the Goryeo people are not a problem. The question is how the Lord prepares to deal with Goryeo!"

Zhao Fuyou shook the fan with satisfaction. No matter how you say it, it sounds a little cold. The coldness is also Chen Dexing's evaluation of the old man's personality! Perhaps it is related to his life experience. His wife and children were killed, the nine clans were destroyed, and he was humiliated by his enemies. He had to live with a smile for more than 20 years. This psychological change is normal.

Chen Dexing smiled and said nothing, just quietly looking at the old man in front of him who was not very normal.

Zhao Fu said coldly: "I think that the Lord of the General is not here to give grace to Goryeo, but to Goryeo to carry out violent and harsh policies. If the Lord of the General does not exploit Goryeo's manpower, material resources, and financial resources, how can he have the power to fight the Central Plains in the north? Just following the Lord of the General's 200,000 food and clothing is a problem, right? So it doesn't matter how Goryeo wants to treat Goryeo. What is important is whether the Lord of the General still wants to plunder Goryeo!"

Chen Dexing frowned and said, "It's okay to say about money and clothing. I control the sea and can always get millions of coins a year. However, this military ration is really difficult to get by the civilians. If it is obtained from Jiangnan, it will be too far away. It can only be taken from Goryeo, and at most it will be made up from Japan."

The terrain of Goryeo is full of mountains and plains, and there is not much food. In addition, years of wars have caused great damage to agricultural production. If they want them to take out food that can support 200,000 people, it is a big burden, and it may cause famine in Goryeo.

Zhao Fu just shook his head: "How much land is Goryeo? How much population is Goryeo? Goryeo is mountains, and the one suitable for farming is the coast of the West Sea. These territory have been repeatedly ruined by the Mongols. The population of one country is at most two million, and it is also a burden to not copy the army. The Goryeo Wang family and so many civil servants and military generals, as well as many monks and nuns who have become monks also need farmers to raise them. How can they squeeze out 200,000 rations? If the master wants to squeeze out 200,000 rations from Goryeo, it will take some effort!"

The Kingdom of Goryeo has been around for more than three hundred decades since the founding of the Taizu king, and various internal contradictions have accumulated to the extreme. The root of the various contradictions in Goryeo is actually similar to the problems faced by the end of the Chinese dynasty. They are all land annexation. The household registration is monopolized by prominent families. There is also an extra problem of monks in temples in Goryeo.

As the self-cultivated farmers who bear taxes and military service continue to decrease and disappear, the country is naturally unable to maintain a strong national defense. Without strong national defense, they will naturally be invaded by foreign enemies. The invasion of foreign enemies further aggravated various internal crises in the Koryo country and further weakened the financial and material resources of the Koryo Central Committee. Now the Goryo court has no way to raise food for 200,000 people!

"Sir, how can I get so much food and grass from Goryeo?" Chen Dexing looked at Zhao Fu, who still shook his feather fan with a concise look.

"This is easy, not easy," Zhao Fu said, "If the main person is benevolent and righteous, and treats Goryeo well, it will be difficult to accomplish. If the Lord does not want to become a benevolent and righteous king, but wants to kill him alone, things will be much easier... The Lord wants 200,000 food and grass for 200,000 people. Just reduce 200,000 Koreans who get nothing for nothing."

In this era, there were no fertilizers, no hybrid rice, and no pesticides. It is almost unrealistic to increase the grain output of Goryeo in a short period of time!

However, it is not difficult to reduce the mouth that only eats but not cooks!

"Sir, I mean..." Chen Dexing frowned slightly after hearing Zhao Fu's words, "Sir, is he teaching me to kill 200,000 noble people from Gaoli?"

Zhao Fu shook his head and said, "No." He smiled faintly, "The poor people in Goryeo are poor, where are there 200,000 noble people? What I mean is that we just need to reduce Goryeo who do not farm and increase Goryeo who farm! After all, there are only more than 2 million people in Goryeo now, and there are still many lands that can be reclaimed."

The Mongolian Koryo War, which lasted for more than 30 years, naturally caused great losses to the population of Goryo. As for the entire Goryo, the contradiction of large populations and small land does not exist. Only a few wealthy families have monopolized the land population. In addition, the number of military generals and monks who do not engage in agricultural production is too large.

The old man's tone was extremely gloomy: "As for how to reduce people who do not farm, how to increase people who farm... the Lord should have a way, right?"

Of course there is a solution, but the noble people in power in the Goryeo will definitely not like it...

...

After the Northern District Office recruitment office, red lanterns were hung high. Especially in the small courtyard where Li Cuixian and Zhao Liner lived together, red paper-cuts were posted everywhere. The female envoys were dressed in brand new outfits and carefully decorated their faces. The entire backyard of the office was filled with festive atmosphere.

A tall figure suddenly rushed in outside the door, dressed up beautifully, and it was Princess Baoyin. Behind her were Chen Dexing and Zhao Liner. Princess Baoyin was sent by Chen Dexing to teach Zhao Liner some skills to strengthen her body—including shooting, fencing and Mongolian wrestling—so in the past few days, the two princesses have been playing together all day. Today, Chen Dexing met Zhang Jiu and Zhou Xiaoqi, and arranged for the latter to study and teach in the naval department of the military academy (that is, to teach while studying), and then returned to the back house. As soon as he entered the house, he met two princesses with sweat. So he came together to visit Li Cuixian who was about to give birth.

Li Cuixian's belly was already bulging and was taken care of by Yang Po'er and Cui Yue'er in turn. The midwife had already been invited and was ready to deliver her baby at any time. However, this pregnant woman Li Cuixian was not willing to lie on the bed. She was a wild man who could not hold back, but after she was pregnant, she could not stand the house all day and would come out to wander around whenever she had the chance. When Chen Dexing and the others came back, the witch was playing with arrows in the yard with a big belly! Yang Po'er and Cui Yue'er didn't stop her, and they were both with her crazy. You could hear giggles from afar.

When Li Cuixian saw Chen Dexing enter the door, he handed the bow and arrow to Cui Yue'er and put it away, and came up to greet him with Yang Po'er.

When Chen Dexing saw the little witch's belly, his face couldn't help but smile: "Xian'er, is the little guy making a fuss inside?"

Li Cuixian touched her belly and said proudly: "How can I not make trouble? He is so energetic, he must be a boy!"

Although the witch is a tomboy, she still likes her son - that is Chen Dexing's eldest son!

"Boys and girls are the same, I like them both." Chen Dexing stepped forward and took Li Cuixian's hand, looked at the witch carefully - his body became a little graceful again, his chest widened, and he almost broke his clothes.

He took his eyes back and glanced at Yang Po'er and Cui Yue'er: "Have you had enough fun? Then come into the house with me and I'll tell you something."

In the hall, the meals were already arranged. On a square table, there were a few bowls of beef and mutton, a few fish that Chen Dexing didn’t know, as well as a few vegetables, candied fruits, and fruits. They were all loved by Li Cuixian.

"Sit all," Chen Dexing greeted several women, "It won't take long to go, you are all Chen's wives and concubines. Although there are differences between superiors and subordinates, the family is always closed and there is nothing to eat at the same table."

In this era, the status of wives and concubines varies greatly. However, Chen Dexing's concubines had unusual identities. Either the sisters brought by Li Cuixian or the daughter of the Mongolian Khan, the palace lord of the Goryeo king would soon come. Of course, we can't wait for it.

The women were not pretentious, and they pulled over the chair and sat around the dining table. Of course, only Li Cuixian and Zhao Lin'er were sitting on both sides of Chen Dexing.

Chen Dexing also ordered a maid who was serving in the room to invite Guo Fuer and Wang Rong'er over. Then his face became solemn.

"The envoys of the Goryeo people have arrived. They promised to lend us Jeju Island, Zhen Island and Ganghwa Island to us to settle down."

"Chen Lang, is this saying that we don't have to fight with Goryeo?" The little princess doesn't like fighting, so she is naturally happy to hear this news.

Guo Fuer and Wang Ronger are not concerned about politics, but they also smile. Jeju Prefecture is relatively desolate and cannot be compared with Jianghua Island, which the Cui family has built for 30 years. If you go to Jianghua Island, you can at least live more comfortably.

However, the remaining women in the room, including Princess Baoyin, did not think that things would be that simple.

Li Cuixian frowned and said, "Chen Lang, when are you going to leave?"

"In a while, you will leave after you finish giving birth, you will be able to leave after confinement." Chen Dexing said, "It will take some days for the reorganization of the Northern Expedition Army. Now the army and the navy are not distinguished, so we can't do this in the future."

The predecessor of the Northern Expedition Army was the Pili Navy. Although it would also go ashore, its main business was still in the water. In the future, the scale of land wars will become larger and larger, and will go deep into the inland. Naturally, it is necessary to organize a powerful army regiment.

Listening to Chen Dexing's words, Guo Fu'er's smile immediately went to most of the time - why did he contact the army for the wedding? What are you doing?

"How many soldiers do you want to bring to Jianghua Island?" Li Cuixian asked.

"A army!" Chen Dexing replied.

"One army is..." Li Cuixian didn't understand how many people this "army" should have. After all, the military system in the Song Dynasty is now in chaos and the military quota under its jurisdiction is not certain.
