Jiang Pengji had not been in Hejian County for the past few years, but she had Qiguan Rang's help and Meng Hun's internal management. The chief of Hejian County secretly opened the door for convenience. The number of people had grown to more than five thousand. This was the result of Meng Hun's strict selection and careful selection.
If he ignored the logistics situation and absorbed people to expand the troops, there would be at least fifty thousand people!
The bandits in the vicinity of Hejian County were basically wiped out. Under the leadership of Meng Hun, the troops swept the bandits in several nearby counties. With the seized goods, the grain that the upper division cultivated and the resources left by Jiang Pengji, the expenditure and income barely reached a balance.
The increasing number of troops meant that they were a bigger target. If the chief of Hejian County became wary and suspicious, life would be difficult in the future. Jiang Pengji ordered Meng Hun to transfer most of the troops away. All of them were dispersed and disguised as refugees to Chongzhou.
"… Now, there are only two thousand troops left in Hejian County. One thousand three hundred and three are adults, and the other six hundred and seven are widowed women or girls. As for the female troops, I think it's better for Langjun to consider it carefully …"
Xu Ke knew the purpose of Jiang Pengji's female troops. It was to make full use of every manpower and avoid wasting society's resources.
However, in the current environment, the existence of the female troops was really awkward.
Some men with dirty minds could not help but speculate that the female troops were actually used to satisfy their desires.
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. "Why?"
Xu Ke said, "Gossip is a fearful thing."
The audience in the streaming room could only watch anxiously.
Niuguigai Chongfan: "Damn, don't be moved by Xu Ke. Who said that girls are not as good as boys? Is it right that the social atmosphere is like this? Does it make the streamer comfortable to watch women in ancient times have such a low social status? "
Brainbo: "Streamer, look at me look at me look at me … What do you mean by gossip is a fearful thing? Isn't it just the social atmosphere? Could it be that the environment was correct? In ancient China, men had multiple wives and concubines. Now that society is more developed, bigamy is a crime! "
Tudoshigai Chongfan: "But thinking about it, what Xu Ke said makes sense. We have to think for the streamer. If she really implemented the female troops, it would be fine on a small scale, but if it was on a large scale, there would be a lot of pressure from the public. "
Zuizhan Baishegeng: "I despise the comment above. So what if there is pressure from public opinion? There are so many viewers in the live broadcast room who are always scolding the host, saying that she is cruel or uncultured, cursing her ancestors, but have you ever seen her pay attention to those people who are spewing shit?
Seeing this, many people came to a realization.
The crux of the problem was not the pressure of public opinion, but whether Jiang Pengji was willing to bear the pressure.
Shanhe Yilong: "Host, don't panic. We will always support you."
Yidao 88,000: "Tsk tsk, the entire live broadcast room is filled with the aura of feminist cancer. You guys might as well advocate polygamy." Ancient society was like this. The social environment determined that women stayed at home and raised children. Men were the main productive force of society. Can you calm down a little and consider the environment of the host's dimension? Were they all sick?
Due to the difference in opinion, the entire live broadcast room began their daily bickering.
Of course, most of the people arguing were the new audience members. Many of the old audience members were still calm and did not worry that Jiang Pengji would be persuaded by Xu Ke.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "By the way, do any of you remember the name and the real theme of the host's live streaming room?"
Hua Guo History Da Quan: "In the name of palace intrigue, it is actually a fight for the throne and the throne."
Yin Yuejia Zhuge Qinmo: "# mockery. So, what else is there to discuss about the formation of the female troops?
The host, Jiang Pengji, is a woman. In the future, when she competes for the throne and becomes famous in the nine prefectures, the status of women in society will definitely rise and they will be valued in a real sense. Jiang Pengji wants the competition to be smooth, so it is necessary to improve the status of women in society. "
Both of them were bound together to a certain extent.
Only when the environment recognized the social value created by women could the title of the female emperor be well-deserved.
Otherwise, even if the person sitting on the throne was a woman and the whole society was still male-dominated, she would only be a puppet.
Seeing these comments, Jiang Pengji secretly laughed.
The live broadcast room was a mix of good and bad people. Most of them were just onlookers, but after careful selection, there were still some clear-headed people.
Note: "But … don't you think that when men and women fight, women are at a disadvantage? After all, breasts … "
In a place like the battlefield, there was no need for manners. To deal with female soldiers, there must be some indecent methods.
Hongchen Lingxi: "# picknose1. Look at what the person above said, as if the thing between a man's crotch is made of copper and iron. It doesn't hurt if you kick it."
Everyone: "…"
"I have decided on this matter. The female troops are determined to win." Jiang Pengji raised her hand to stop Xu Ke from speaking. She said, "Right now, our foundation is still too shallow. What's more, joining the troops will give them a place to settle down … "
Xu Ke thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Currently, most of the 670 female troops were orphans or girls abandoned by their families.
If the troops were not willing to accept them, they would either starve to death by the roadside or be abducted by human traffickers.
If they were abducted and sold, they would have a different ending. The unluckier ones would go directly to a shady place to sell their bodies. Those who were slightly better off would most likely be bought by some family and become a child bride or a rough maid. They would be recorded as slaves for the rest of their lives.
When Jiang Pengji limited the purchase of rice, it alleviated the food shortage in Hejian County and indirectly reduced the number of refugees.
However, the natural disasters and food shortage in the next few years still produced a large number of homeless refugees.
Under the premise that the whole family fled, the probability of girls being abandoned or sold was greatly increased.
This was the origin of the current female troops.
Why?
Due to filial piety, the people could not abandon their parents.
In order to continue the family line, boys could not be abandoned.
Therefore, for the survival of the family, when there was no other choice, the wife and daughter could only reluctantly abandon.
When there was a conflict between the two, the wife's value was naturally greater than the daughter's, so the girl was abandoned.
Xu Ke's heart suddenly softened when he thought of these details.
He could only sigh. "Langjun is kind …"
Invisibly, Jiang Pengji's image in Xu Ke's heart rose a few notches.
In order to protect the weak, she did not care about her reputation and was willing to bear the public's criticism and criticism. Was such an image not great?
In fact, Jiang Pengji was not that great.
Whether it was women or men, in her eyes, there was only one synonym: social production resources.
Whoever wasted resources would find trouble with her!
