Jiang Pengji looked around and her gaze fell on Qiguan Rang, who was sitting in the corner. He was still holding the feather fan that never left his hand. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was listening attentively, but also as if he was daydreaming. Jiang Pengji directly called him out.
She asked, "What do you think of this method, Wenzheng?"
From the day Jiang Pengji met Qiguan Rang, she knew of his bad habits. If it was not necessary, he would never stand out. He would even deliberately reduce his presence … Tsk, tsk. Did this guy cherish his life too much? Was he afraid that he would be killed if he performed too well?
Qiguan Rang naturally did not get distracted. On the contrary, he listened very seriously. He even carefully considered the pros and cons of the method.
Obviously, the implementation of this method today definitely had more pros than cons.
However, after a long time, it was hard to say.
The land belonged to the government, and the proportion of taxes was completely decided by Jiang Pengji alone.
To put it blasphemously, if she was no longer in this world, and her successor had a bad temperament, what if he recklessly increased the proportion of taxes?
This was one of the reasons. The other was the aristocratic families.
They had absolute wealth and power. Even if the people found a way to buy their own land, could they keep this family business?
Not to mention the distant past, now that Dongqing's land annexation was serious, how many people sold their land under the coercion of others and became tenant farmers?
A bloody lesson was in front of them!
However, even though he thought of this, Qiguan Rang did not want to bring it up at this time.
Because there was not much meaning in bringing it up. The lord needed to become stronger in a short period of time. The people also needed to recover from the heavy blows as soon as possible and live a stable and prosperous life. The drawbacks of the method would only be revealed in the later stages.
He had not even learned to crawl. What was the point of thinking about things after running?
Jiang Pengji did not give him the opportunity. She said, "If you have anything on your mind, just say it. I won't laugh at you. You don't have to hide it from me. Just say whatever you have on your mind. If you can't come up with anything, don't even think about taking a break when you go back. "
The corners of Qiguan Rang's mouth twitched slightly. After a while, he spoke of his previous thoughts.
After a while, he said shyly, "I'm just worrying for nothing. Given the current situation, the Lord's Army Farming Method is the best."
Jiang Pengji relaxed her brows and said, "You're not worrying for nothing. The biggest difference between taking precautions and worrying for nothing is that the former may happen in a short period of time, while the latter will only happen in the distant future, or even impossible."
In at most a decade or two, she could turn the entire era upside down, so Qiguan Rang's worries were not wrong.
"I'll remember what you said." After Jiang Pengji finished speaking, she turned to Wei Ci and Xu Ke and said, "We'll stop here for now. Go back and sort things out. After this battle, we'll make some adjustments according to the actual situation …"
Jiang Pengji knew that the best might not be the most suitable.
Only those that fit this era would be the most suitable.
Wei Ci and Xu Ke bowed and said, "Yes."
After a while, the guard reported that Jiang Nongqin, the commandant of the female battalion, had requested to see him.
Under the leadership of Meng Hun and Li Yun, the vanguard battalion was wiping out the remnants of the Tsing Yi Army. What was Jiang Nongqin doing here now?
Jiang Pengji frowned and allowed her to enter.
"Jiang Nongqin greets the Lord."
After Jiang Nongqin entered, she solemnly bowed and found a place to sit after getting permission.
Jiang Pengji asked, "Nongqin, what happened?"
She reported in a low voice, "I've cleaned up the military discipline and caught 32 people who broke the rules. Among them, there's a person who committed a serious crime."
Jiang Pengji was very strict with military discipline. Considering their physiological needs, she did not restrict the male soldiers from getting married. Secondly, she did not restrict them from seeking pleasure during their break. She had already done so. If the soldiers committed a serious crime during the war, she would definitely not let them off lightly.
Hearing Jiang Nongqin's words, her voice became cold.
"You can deal with the remaining 31 people according to the military rules. Only this person who committed a serious crime, what did he do wrong? "
Jiang Nongqin said, "The crime of adultery. The Lord once said that the soldiers are not allowed to adulterate the people. Otherwise, they will be punished with a serious crime. "
Jiang Pengji's good mood instantly disappeared. Her lips curled into a cold smile that was filled with murderous intent.
"The crime of adultery?" She said, "For such a serious crime, you can just order the whole army to watch and beat him to death."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the three strategists present secretly frowned.
The crime of adultery?
According to the circumstances of the crime, it would be at least a death sentence. This kind of death was neat and tidy. The most serious way to die was to live a life worse than death. It was really a torture.
Which soldier was so blind to commit a crime against the law?
Jiang Nongqin said, "I agree with you. However, the person who this person violated is a little special. I don't know how the crime should be measured."
Jiang Pengji frowned. "Special identity?"
Could it be that the soldier did something to a troublesome big shot?
Jiang Nongqin said, "It was a man."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The soldier was indeed a man. That was not right … Could it be that the person who committed the crime was from the female battalion?
Forgive them for being a group of country bumpkins from the countryside. When the crime of adultery was mentioned, their first impression was that it was a man and a woman.
If the victim was a man, the person who committed the crime should be from the female battalion … However, this did not make sense …
Jiang Nongqin did not know how big of a misunderstanding she had caused. She repeated, "That soldier was from the third battalion. The person he injured was a man who was captured by the Tsing Yi Army and sent to the brothel. He had a pretty face and seemed to be no different from a woman. My lord once said that the soldiers must not commit adultery to the people. That man was naturally counted as a 'person'. Therefore, Nongqin thought that the crime of adultery could be established. "
Their worldview was shattered!
Wei Ci, Qiguan Rang, and Xu Ke were dumbfounded. They looked at Jiang Nongqin as if she was a monster.
They felt that they had opened the door to a new world.
So it could be played that way?
Xu Ke said embarrassedly, "My lord, this … this is a little too absurd …"
Jiang Pengji glanced at Xu Ke, then secretly glanced at Wei Ci.
Speaking of which, this person's appearance was also very dangerous. It was more reassuring to send someone who could fight and was loyal to protect him.
As a good lord who loved her subordinates, she gave herself a thumbs up.
Jiang Pengji lowered her eyelids and said, "Nongqin is right. A person is a person. Why does it matter about gender?"
Xu Ke did not speak.
Although he was a little shocked, his lord's words made sense.
Just because the victim was a man and he was forced to have sex with someone, it could not be considered a crime. The soldier had indeed committed a serious crime.
He realized that this was an opportunity to punish a person as an example to others. He could beat those who wanted to play word games and exploit loopholes in the language.
Men were also a 'person'. If his lord did not implement this rule, it would be lively in the future.
Nowadays, men were in vogue. Becoming brothers could still be considered a beautiful story!
