The Invincible Sixth Prince

Emperor Wen was both angry and funny.

This traitor!

I am still chatting here with these officials from the Northwest Protectorate!

This rebellious son suddenly said such a thing.

God knows what's wrong with this rebellious son?

As they spoke, Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan glared at Qin Qihu fiercely again.

They had seen the two of them whispering to each other a long time ago.

Yun Zheng's sudden seizure was probably related to Qin Qihu.

Facing the ferocious gazes of Emperor Wen and the old rogue, Qin Qihu suddenly shrank his neck, looked at the two of them with an innocent face, and gently touched Yun Zheng, signaling Yun Zheng to quickly give an explanation to the two old rogues.

What does Yun Zheng’s behavior have to do with him?

He is also confused now!

Yun Zheng reacted and saw that everyone was staring at him. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just suddenly figured out something and was a little too happy. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

"What have you figured out?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng with interest and asked.

"This one……"

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "I'd better let this matter be discussed with Father in private!"

"also!"

Emperor Wen did not ask further questions, but just glared at Yun Zheng in a warning, "Watch your words and actions! Although this is not the court, it is also a place for formal discussions!"

"My son, please remember your father's teachings."

Yun Zheng nodded repeatedly, but his heart was filled with joy.

Emperor Wen glanced at Yun Zheng, and seeing the smile on Yun Zheng's face that he couldn't help but smile, he was secretly curious.

What on earth did this rebellious son figure out?

Could it be that he has thought of a way to resolve the predicament of the Northwest Protectorate?

If this is true, this rebellious son should indeed be happy.

Out of curiosity, Emperor Wen no longer had the heart to chat with his ministers.

After a brief chat with his ministers, Emperor Wen asked them to take this opportunity to discuss government affairs and then ordered someone to notify them when the banquet officially began.

"Sixth Brother, walk with me!"

Emperor Wen stood up and called Yun Zheng along.

Yun Zheng knew that the old man wanted to ask him about what happened just now, so he said, "General Dugu, you come too!"

Dugu Ce was puzzled and looked at Emperor Wen inquiringly, asking if he could go along.

"Then let's go for a walk together!"

Emperor Wen nodded slightly, and called Qin Liugan and his son, who were looking at him eagerly, "You two can come too!"

Soon, several people followed Emperor Wen to the side hall.

"Have you thought of a way to resolve the Northwest Protectorate's predicament?"

Emperor Wen couldn't wait to ask Yun Zheng before he sat down.

"Ah."

Yunzheng nodded and smiled.

"any solution?"

Emperor Wen became even more interested and looked at Yun Zheng with burning eyes.

"Plunder!"

Yun Zheng answered simply.

"Plunder?"

Emperor Wen was puzzled. "How do you rob? Where do you rob?"

Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "Of course, we're going to plunder the tribes in Moxi!"

"Plundering the tribes in the western desert?"

Dugu Ce frowned slightly, "Your Highness has just signed a non-aggression agreement with the tribes of Moxi, and you are going back on your word right now. I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right?"

Of course, he also knew that when someone did not keep their word, such an agreement would be worthless.

But the problem is, they also need to rest and recuperate now!

If Yun Zheng directly sent people to plunder the tribes in western Moxi, wouldn't that mean he would go to war with the tribes in western Moxi again?

In this case, how can we rest and recuperate?

"Correct!"

Emperor Wen nodded and said, "The Northwest Protectorate is in a mess now. If you continue to fight, you will probably be stuck in a quagmire."

In war, having strong soldiers and horses does not guarantee victory.

This requires the support of a strong national strength!

"no no!"

Yun Zheng raised his lips and said with a wicked smile: "Robbery doesn't necessarily require us to do it ourselves..."

As he spoke, Yun Zheng told them his plan in detail.

They now have many captives from the Dayue Kingdom in their hands.

He could select thousands or tens of thousands of prisoners to form a bandit group.

The selection criteria are also very simple, there must be at least four people in the family!

He rented weapons, armor, war horses, etc. to the captives, and let them form teams of several hundred or nearly a thousand people, pass through the Guifang and go to the various tribes in the western desert to plunder.

If they died during the raid, their families would be supported by the Northwest Protectorate.

But they had to hand over half of what they looted, and they kept the other half for themselves.

These "bandits" do not need to kill many people from the various tribes in western Mo. Their main purpose is to plunder and run away as fast as they can.

The more loot they handed over, the more benefits they could receive.

The military households mentioned by Emperor Wen could also be given to these "bandits" in the form of rewards.

For example, if you hand in a cow, you can get five military households.

If you hand in ten cows, you can get seventy or even a hundred military households.

All the labor income of these military households in the next few years, except for a small amount of taxes, will belong to the military household heads.

Including land, can also be given out in the form of rewards.

After all, having military households without land is not enough.

Similarly, the land also has a time limit. They can only use it for a certain number of years and cannot directly own the land.

If you want to own these lands, then buy more things from Yun Zheng.

In this way, Yun Zheng can control the amount of land owned by those people and avoid serious land annexation.

However, once those "bandits" defected, their families would all be executed immediately!

The places where those "bandits" plundered were not limited to the tribes in western Mo.

As long as they don't cause trouble in Yun Zheng's territory, they can plunder wherever they want.

If this provokes an invasion by the army of another country, the Northwest Protectorate will come to their rescue!

Yun Zheng excitedly spoke of his ideas, while Qin Liugan and his son were confused and a little dizzy.

However, Emperor Wen was greatly shocked.

"Sometimes I really want to open your brain and see what it is made of!"

Emperor Wen stared at Yun Zheng with burning eyes.

This rebellious son is really full of shady tricks!

If Yun Zheng's plan can be realized, it will definitely be the best way to solve the current dilemma.

Yun Zheng chuckled and asked, "Does Father also think this method is feasible?"

"Of course it works!"

Emperor Wen nodded with a smile, "This move will not only help us obtain a large amount of supplies, but will also further weaken the tribes in western Mo. At the same time, it is also a disguised form of military training..."

In addition, allocating military households to those people through rewards can further reduce the pressure on the Northwest Protectorate.

Just imagine, if each of these 10,000 people had a hundred military households, it would be equivalent to directly helping them reduce the pressure of supporting one million people.

Of course, all of this is based on the assumption that those people can loot enough supplies.

If no supplies can be looted, everything is in vain.

He doubted whether the tribes in western Mo had so many supplies for Yun Zheng to plunder.

"As much as we can loot."

Yun Zheng smirked, "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to focus on looting the tribes in western Moxi? You can also go loot other places!"

They don't necessarily have to catch a sheep and fleece it.

Anyway, just loot as much supplies as possible.

"That's true!"

Emperor Wen smiled to himself, then asked with some concern: "Do you think the people of the Moxi tribes are fools? Do you think the Moxi tribes will not suspect that you instructed those people to rob?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Yun Zheng's face was full of innocence. "These people are obviously the remnants of the army that Lou Yi took away. After being attacked by the northern barbarians, they were completely defeated and could only make a living by looting..."
