Qing Lian stayed in Lan City for a week before leaving. She still had to help Ren Baqian contact a few sword masters.
As for the others, they stayed in Lan City. After all, Qing Lian could leave the matter of purchasing so much food, but they couldn't.
This was related to the lives of millions of people in the revolutionary army and the stability of the rear.
As long as the food was transported back and planted, a large amount of food would calm the people and completely stabilize the revolutionary army in a year.
Correspondingly, the people in the areas controlled by Great Xia were still in dire straits.
It could be said that these high-yield food were the best trump card against Great Xia.
Even if Great Xia could obtain these food and plant them on a large scale, it would take two to three years. A lot of things could happen during this time.
Therefore, they had to pay attention to this food, which was even more important than their own lives.
However, less than a week after Qing Lian left, half of the more than 700 revolutionary soldiers were seriously injured, and the other half were lightly injured …
The surplus general who led the army had half of his bones broken.
Ren Baqian scratched his head when he received the report.
At first, only some of the Great Xia people were beaten up. In fact, they weren't the ones who caused trouble. After all, they weren't fools.
After all, foreigners were still relatively rare in Lan City.
Jing Tribe? That was his younger brother who was protected by Zhao Prince Consort.
People from the Yun Nation? Now, it was also his younger brother who was protected by Zhao Prince Consort.
When they heard that they were from Great Xia and that they had a war with Great Xia two years ago, some people immediately started to provoke and cause trouble.
Then, there was a natural conflict, and dozens of Great Xia people were seriously injured.
The aboriginals were experienced in fighting all year round. They knew how to control their strength and didn't kill a single one of them.
The most serious one only had about 30 broken bones.
General Huai Ji was furious when he received the news. Where was the law? Although this was the territory of the aboriginals, there was no need to bully them like this. He couldn't just be a coward, could he? Would he still be able to be a human when he went back?
Then, he led his men away.
At first, seven or eight people ganged up on 30 to 40 of them.
When they arrived, it became 70 to 80 people ganging up on 600 to 700 of them.
After reading the report, Ren Baqian felt that this group of people was too much. In particular, the people from the public order bureau stood by and watched. Where was the law?
Dayao was a society governed by law … Well, not yet!
When Ren Baqian first arrived, the aboriginal commoners often fought with the foreign merchants until their brains came out. The punishment was only three to ten lashes of the whip, and they would be able to recover after lying in bed for eight to ten days.
Ren Baqian rubbed his forehead and went to find the empress.
The empress was recuperating her pregnancy … The method of recuperating her pregnancy was watching the computer, eating sweets, fruits, and alcohol …
Ren Baqian still wanted to fight against the empress's habit of letting go … However, after arguing for four days, Ren Baqian put his hands on his waist and gave in.
If he continued to argue, he would die before he could fulfill his ambitions.
He could only hope that the empress was strong enough and that the son in her womb was strong enough …
It could also be a daughter!
In any case, whatever it was, even if it was a ball!
"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian slammed the report on the table.
The empress raised her head and looked at him. Then, she leaned back and placed her hand on her belly. With a lazy look on her face, she said, "There's another one in my tummy. I can't stand being bullied or frightened."
"Your Majesty, can't you learn something good? Don't always learn from those things in TV dramas. Besides, who would dare to bully you? You can fight eight people with one hand! " Ren Baqian felt that if there was anything worse than an indifferent empress, it would be an empress who had nothing better to do than learn from TV dramas.
"With your physique, you can probably fight 800 people!" The empress gestured with her hand.
"At least 800!" Ren Baqian added.
"Aren't you busy right now? What's the matter this time? "The empress raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"Your Majesty, take a look!" Ren Baqian sighed.
The empress glanced at it and sat back. "How do you think I should deal with this?"
"A country has its laws!" Ren Baqian stated the pros and cons in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, things are different now. Not only are the people of Great Xia watching, but it doesn't matter what they think. The Jing Tribe and the people of the Yun Nation are watching to see how you will deal with this. The aboriginal commoners and officials are also watching to see how you will deal with this. If you let them go this time, they will naturally be more daring in the future. Next time, next time, they will still dare to do this. Not only to the people of Great Xia, but also to the Jing Tribe and the people of the Yun Nation! "
The empress looked at Ren Baqian with one finger under her chin and suddenly laughed. "When you speak like this, you are actually quite pleasing to the eye! Alright, I understand and will give them an explanation. Those who beat people will receive 30 lashes each. The public order officers who were present at the scene at the time will receive 60 lashes each for incompetence. If there is a next time, they will be dismissed from the public order department. As for the people of Great Xia, I will arrange for the medical bureau to treat them. "
Ren Baqian nodded. Such an outcome would be able to intimidate some people.
The brains of the aboriginals were full of muscles and couldn't remember many things for long.
However, the public order department should be able to remember everything from top to bottom.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first," Ren Baqian said.
"I'm very bored. Keep me company," the empress said lazily.
Ren Baqian calculated that he still had to go to the Ministry of Works in the afternoon and meet the new commander of the Rearguard Commandery. The balance in his heart began to sway. On one hand, he placed his work, and on the other hand, he placed the empress …
Was there a need to choose?
"I'm a person who works hard for the people!" Ren Baqian said righteously.
"Oh? I just realized that today! "The empress looked at him with a faint smile!
"Compared to the people … Your Majesty is obviously more important!" Ren Baqian's expression didn't change at all.
"Forget it, you can go! If you continue to say that, I will feel that I'm an incapable ruler. "The empress waved her hand in frustration.
"How can that be?" Ren Baqian sat beside the empress and laughed. "Half a day won't make a difference."
"Tell me … Are you considered a sycophant?" The empress found it a little funny.
"If Your Majesty is an incapable ruler, I will be a sycophant. If Your Majesty is a wise ruler, I will be a capable one! "Ren Baqian laughed.
After sitting with the empress for two hours, Ren Baqian left in a hurry.
He sent someone to inform Tong Zhengye that he would go to the Ministry of Works tomorrow.
He had to meet the new commander of the Rearguard Commandery.
Over the past few months, the Rearguard Commandery had doubled in size. The number of tiqi at the bottom level had increased from 2,000 to 4,000, and the number of non-staff, called strongmen, had increased from 8,000 to 16,000.
This meant that there were now a total of four qianhu in the Rearguard Commandery.
Of the original two qianhu, one was in Tianjing Basin, and the other was in the Yun Nation.
The two newly expanded qianhu would undergo another three months of training. After that, one would be sent to the Yun Nation and the other to Great Xia.
The team sent to Great Xia was mainly to investigate the whereabouts of the world's experts, as well as some ancient tombs.
According to the traces of the human race after crossing the Sixty Thousand Mountains, other than the aboriginals who stayed in the mountains, the rest should have gone in two different directions. One of them was in the direction of the Chen Nation, while the majority of the human race went to Great Xia to reproduce.
In other words, if that group of people left something in the tombs, it would also be in Great Xia.
Moreover, ancient tombs had been occasionally discovered, and each time, some practitioners and even the imperial court would fight for them. The locations were all in Great Xia.
