After seeing off the passionate Ma Yunlu, Liu Xie felt sad when he looked at the passionate younger brother.
Young is an advantage, but young is also prone to impulsiveness.
He regretted it a little that the queen should be with him. After years of this, his physiological needs can be tolerated for a while, but not for a lifetime.
He immediately thought of another question: Compared to him, what should the soldiers who have been separated for many years?
The war schedule in the Spring and Autumn Period was very short and the duration was very short, so this problem did not exist. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, the scale of the war became larger and larger, and the duration became longer and longer, and this problem gradually became prominent. The territory of the Han Dynasty was
It is wider, five thousand miles north and south, ten thousand miles east and west, and the war lasts for more than a year. If this problem is not solved, problems will inevitably arise.
As for the battle of thousands of miles and drinking in the Mediterranean as he imagined, it was an unrealized dream.
Do you go wherever you are like the Mongols and sow wherever you are?
It looks cool, but how long did the Mongol empire last?
For him who is determined to revive the Han civilization and let China lead the world, this kind of example of his prosperity and demise is obviously not worth imitating.
How to solve the problem?
Although he could not find a good solution in the end, Liu Xie successfully diverted his attention and solved his physiological impulses.
Survival pressure can indeed reduce fertility.

Ma Yunlu returned to the tent and found that Lu Xiaohuan was not asleep yet. He was holding his cheek and napping on the marching bed. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she immediately opened her eyes and jumped up.
"Sister, how about it?"
"Very good." Ma Yunlu was still immersed in excitement and blurted out.
“How good is it?”
"..." Ma Yunlu was stunned and turned to look at Lu Xiaohuan, then realized that what they were saying might not be the same. She bent her fingers and stroked Lu Xiaohuan's forehead. "Little girl, what are you thinking? Are you embarrassed?
”
"What's there to be ashamed of?" Lu Xiaohuan disagreed. "In two years, I will become the emperor's woman."
Ma Yunlu was completely stunned, and after a while he reacted, he smiled and said, "Then I will congratulate you in advance."
Lu Xiaohuan looked at Ma Yunlu suspiciously. Even if she was slow to react, she could see that Ma Yunlu had not served her. "Sister, what did you do with the emperor...?"
"Ideal, life." Ma Yunlu turned his back on the marching bed, holding his hands behind his head, and looking at the roof of the tent. Thinking of what the emperor said, she was still excited. When she thought of returning to Liangzhou, she summoned three or five hundred people.
, formed a camp of its own, and she wanted to fly back to Liangzhou immediately.
It is best to be a Longxi person, especially a Longxi person with Qiang ancestry.
The emperor said that the Qiang people in the deep mountains have advantages in their bloodlines.
Lu Xiaohuan refused to give up, squeezed to Ma Yunlu and pushed her. "What ideals and life, let's talk to me."
Ma Yunlu turned his eyes and lay on his side, resting his head on his bent arms, looking at Lu Xiaohuan with a burning look. "Sister Xiaohuan, I'll ask you something, you want to be the emperor's woman, and you're in the palace every day
I was bored, but I still wanted to be the general of the emperor, leading thousands of troops to conquer the world."
"That's all right, of course I'm happy to be a general." Lu Xiaohuan clenched his fists. "I, Aweng, said the same thing. He also asked me to learn how to use military force from General Gao. Unfortunately, General Gao has gone now and can't teach him anymore.
It's me."
Ma Yunlu nodded and roughly repeated what the emperor said to her.
Among the current female officials, Lu Xiaohuan is the most suitable to be her deputy.
After listening to Ma Yunlu’s explanation, Lu Xiaohuan was also moved and his eyes turned around. “Sister, if you form a new army, can you take me with you?”
"Of course, we are good sisters." Ma Yunlu was in his arms, hugged Lu Xiaohuan intimately, and shook it hard.
Lu Xiaohuan was overjoyed, opened his arms, hugged Ma Yunlu, and kissed him hard.
The two laughed in a ball.
——
When he learned that Ma Yunlu had not served the bed, he accepted the emperor's entrustment and planned to recruit three or five hundred female knights. Jia Xu and Ma Teng were all a little surprised.
Ma Teng expressed objection.
Women are women, born not as strong as men, and going into battle is a forced matter. How can we take this as a career? Instead of fighting to the battlefield and sleeping in the open, it is better to enter the palace to be safe. If you can give birth to a man and a half woman for the emperor in the future, the Ma family will be There are benefits, too.
After repeated thinking, Jia Xu supported Ma Yunlu's choice.
Liangzhou has few household registration and most of the men join the army, which has led to the strong strength of the Liangzhou army. However, this model has obvious disadvantages. Either the couple separates all year round, affects childbirth and does not have many children. Or the family members follow the army, and no one produces them, but the baggage needs become The increase will only make a living by robbery, which will cause greater harm to Liangzhou's already poor production.
No matter what the situation is, it is difficult to last.
If both husband and wife can fight, they can be turned into military households, taking the military as their career, while others focus on their production.
Ma Teng has always respected Jia Xu, and when he saw Jia Xu supporting Ma Yunlu's idea, he stopped talking.
After finding an opportunity, Jia Xu expressed his views to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie is also considering this issue and thinks that Jia Xu's idea is feasible, so he can give it a try. Establishing a military household and joining the army will not affect the war or the childbirth, but also facilitate the inheritance of martial arts, which will ensure the source of military service. benefit.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually an upgraded version of the nomadic people, or the grassland version of Hedong Juntun.
After repeated discussions, Liu Xie finally made some adjustments.
First, military households do not need to be hereditary. If you are tired of your military career, you can withdraw at any time. The children of military households may not be military households, but can be converted into private households.
Second, in addition to practicing martial arts, military households should also learn some culture, and at least read the "Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Filial Piety". They should be both civil and military, cultivate basic concepts of loyalty and filial piety, avoid raising tigers as a problem, and become an unstable factor in Liangzhou. .
The third is to equip military households with two to three servants. They raise horses and sheep in normal times, provide means of production, and serve as auxiliary soldiers during wartime.
These attendants can be young men who are determined to join the army or captured alien slaves.
After formulating the preliminary plan, Liu Xie distributed the plan to the generals, so that they could brainstorm the plan. On the one hand, they copied the plan to the ministers and Xun Yu from Hedong, and asked them to give their opinions and strive to come up with a relatively complete one before arriving in Liangzhou. The plan comes.
Although the final plan has not been determined, it was a foregone conclusion that the emperor intended to try it out, and Jia Xu immediately began to prepare.
The first step is to guide Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan to learn military tactics.
The art of war is not just the text in "The Art of War", nor is it a fantasy imagination, but it contains the basic principles and methods of training and using troops. Not only that, Jia Xu also sorted out the evolution of the military system.
Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan both grew up in the army and are not unfamiliar with marching and formation, but emotional experience cannot replace rational thinking. Ma Teng and Lu Bu are extremely brave, but they are not necessarily smart in the way of using troops. Jia Xu like this It is necessary for everyone to purify and temper the art of war, or even return to the furnace.
Ma Yunlu has grown up and understands what his goal is. He has learned very seriously, almost a thousand miles a day. He is not enough to learn with Jia Xu. When he encounters difficult classics, he often asks Cai Yan for advice.
Lu Xiaohuan is still underage and has a more playful mind. He is very interested in practical practice, but he is no longer interested in pure theoretical things. He yawns as soon as he hears it.
Lu Bu, who occasionally played a guest appearance as a female official and martial arts instructor, soon discovered this problem. He was so anxious that he rarely reached an agreement with Mrs. Wei. The couple joined forces to start the chicken-child mode and supervised Lu Xiaohuan's reading every day.
As a result, Lu Xiaohuan's reading did not see any effect. Lu Bu memorized "The Art of War" thoroughly. Even "The Spring and Autumn Annals" was catchy, and he could speak with a hint of a word. He would always speak a few words, which made people look at it with admiration.
