Liu Wu helped Mu Shi to do things and knew more, and said: "Your father didn't stop you. Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of food in the north, and it's not bad. Most of the people who escaped are Han people. It's a handful, and the prefect also said that what they lacked most in the North was people."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly, the northern land is warring all the year round, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is indeed lacking the most people.

Seeing that Liu Wu was sweating on his forehead, Mu Yangling knew that he was wearing too hot, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Wutang has worked hard all the way, go down to wash up and rest first, and when the children come back in the evening, let them see uncle too. male."

How dare Liu Wu bear this name, he is the nephew of Liu Daqian who came out of Wufu, his blood relationship has faded, and he is farther away from the Mu family, let alone Mu Yangling, and he is now a general. As a steward in the government's farmhouse, although he didn't sell himself, he was also employed by others, and it was not easy to work in Canada.

So Liu Wu said humbly: "It should be the little one and the little sons, please be safe."

Mu Yangling was thinking about the Northland, and he was not good at arguing with others, so he let Lichun take him down with just one sentence.

Lichun took him out, and smiled: "I often hear my mother mentioning my uncle's house, but I have never had the chance to meet the people of my uncle's house. Fifth uncle will stay longer this time..."

Liu Wu responded slightly restrained.

Qi Haoran came back around the time of dinner again in the evening, Mu Yangling looked at his tired look and couldn't help asking: "Is there going to be chaos in the north?"

Qi Haoran was stunned for a moment, thinking of Zhu Liang's reply, he knew that she had learned about the situation in Beidi from Liu Wu's mouth, and he stopped hiding it and said, "I want to take the opportunity to recover the lost land, but eldest brother No answer."

Mu Yangling frowned slightly, "Since Dajin is going to be in chaos, this is indeed an opportunity for us. Taking advantage of the strong treasury, isn't it good for us to recover the lost land when our troops are strong? You have cultivated a lot of talents over the years. The generals used, take this opportunity to let the newcomers make meritorious deeds, the veterans will retire, and if you drag it on, the more literate the generals will be, the generals may not be accepted, the Great Zhou..."

"I have told my eldest brother about this. General Yuan, father-in-law, and several generals in the DPRK all expressed this meaning," Qi Haoran said solemnly: "Recovering lost soil has always been my eldest brother's wish, and he had a plan a few years ago. Now, although this Great Golden Snow Disaster is severe, it hasn't hurt the bones yet, but if there is chaos in their country, we will take action again..."

"But who can guarantee that Daikin will be in chaos?"

Qi Haoran replied vaguely, "It's already in chaos..."

Mu Yangling looked at him in amazement.

Qi Haoran smiled at her and said in a low voice, "The nails we buried in Dajin back then worked."

Mu Yangling stared at him blankly. He knew about it, but he didn't expect those people to provoke Dajin's people to rebel.

At that time, the minds of several people were very simple, just to recover the lost soil, so they sent a lot of nails to Dajin. There were Han people and mixed blood of various ethnic groups. When they sent people away, a few people thought. If you can know some of the movements of Dajin's army, and you can know some news in advance when the battle starts, it will be a success.

Who knows how many of them can stir up civil unrest in Dajin?

Speaking of which is also the case of Daikin's national conditions.

It has been nearly 300 years since Dajin established the country, the regime has gradually become corrupt, and the people in the country have always been divided into ranks.

Daqi is divided into scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, but Dajin is divided by race. Ordinary Han people belong to the fourth class, and other ethnic minorities who are occupied like them are divided into fifth class, which is even more than the Han people. Not as good.

And the Jurchens are divided into many tribes. These tribes fight against each other, and naturally some are captured. Such people are enslaved even more miserably.

The Han people are tough but also good at forbearance, but these ethnic minorities can’t bear it for long. After accumulating capital and people’s hearts, they will turn against each other. The nails they buried in Dajin happen to be mixed in the team, and they become military advisers. They can not only help each other with advice, They also contacted Daqi and asked for some weapons. This natural disaster was a disaster for them, but it was also an opportunity.

"Although that person still obeys the eldest brother, he already wants to stand on his own," Qi Haoran lowered his voice and said, "If he comes back, he will be a fourth-grade guard at most, but he can stay in Dajin, and if it succeeds, a first-grade prime minister I can't run away, and my eldest brother and I don't have to ask him to be loyal to us, as long as he is selfishly towards us."

"The lost soil..."

"It was used by them to trade with us. They promised that as long as they gave them a batch of weapons, they would return the lost land after replacing Daikin."

Mu Yangling looked at Qi Haoran, "Do you believe them?"

Qi Haoran smiled, laying down on the bed with his wife in his arms, and said in a low voice, "It's the same as whether they believe it or not, we won't take advantage of the fire, it depends on how they understand each other. In short, you have to remember that now is not an opportunity. A batch of weapons can help us reduce casualties, and that's worth it, for me, talent is the most important thing."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly. Daqi has a small population. Last year, there were more than 50 million people reported by the Ministry of Households, which can be checked. However, under the policies of the past few years, there are very few hidden households and refugees who are still hiding. Very few, so few can be ignored in front of this huge base, and many of them are newborns in recent years.

There is no way to do it. The Dazhou has been in chaos for more than 20 years, and the population loss is too great. Even if Daqi has recuperated in the past few years, the population is still not very large.

Recovering lost soil will definitely cost people, food and wealth can be obtained again, but if you want labor, you will have to wait at least 16 years.

Mu Yangling was relieved, "I thought you were going to go out."

"It depends on their actions. If it's fast, I'm afraid to go to the Northland in two or three years. If it's slow, it will be five or six years."

Qi Haoran patted her back soothingly, and whispered: "It may take several years for another expedition, and I'm afraid it will be the last time. After all, it is not appropriate to start another war after recovering the lost soil. I don't have much interest in land, A Ling, will you follow me when the time comes?"

Mu Yangling was stunned, but he didn't expect Qi Haoran to make such a request.

"I'll take you back to Northland to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I know you've been thinking about it all these years, but because of me, you never had a chance to save your relatives," Qi Haoran said in a low voice, "I'll take you back for a while while you're on the expedition. Trip." I'm afraid it's the last trip.

This is also what Qi Haoran did not say.

This is the disadvantage of the inconvenience of transportation. The Northland is too far away from them. If Mu Yangling hadn’t gone to work in the Northland, it would be almost impossible for Mu Yangling to go back to her mother’s house.

However, there are too many memories of them there, not to mention Mu Yangling, even Qi Haoran also really wants to go back with Mu Yangling for a walk, and seriously, there is only a chance when they go out.

Mu Yangling lay on Qi Haoran's chest, nodded, and said sullenly, "At that time, I will leave the children to my sister-in-law and cousin to help."

"Okay," Qi Haoran said happily, "Then you can help Xiao Xia to bring more Xiao An Xiaofu, so that she can't refuse."
