"A Feng army?" The general also widened his eyes and looked at his daughter. He did not know why his daughter had such strange thoughts at such a young age. His daughter had already finished speaking, but he was still pondering and digesting what she had said. "Then, how do you think I can help you? Where am I going to recruit women to form an army for you?”
"Actually, Dad, I've thought of a way. I heard that there are many refugees pouring into the capital. Can you think of a way to settle the refugees? For every family that was settled down, some young men and women would be selected for training. In this way, not only could they ensure the source of soldiers for future war preparations, but they could also ensure the loyalty of the army to the country and the imperial court. Think about it, if there are refugees in the capital, how can there not be refugees in other places? If he could do this, not only would he be able to replenish the army, but he could also ensure the stability of the region. Think about it again. Aren't these refugees a major factor that affects the stability of the region and the country?”Red Cloud's words were orderly and logical, it seemed that they had long been well-thought-out.
"Oh? Why do you have these strange thoughts? You really make me look at you in a new light." Yun Zaitian listened to his daughter's words and looked at her in disbelief. The shock that these words caused him was unable to calm down for a long time. He remained in a state of shock as he thought about it. He had to admit that what his daughter said made sense, very much so. He looked at his daughter and thought about it again and again. After thinking about it, he said,"Indeed, what you said makes sense. It makes sense in theory. However, I also feel that it's a little irrelevant.”
"Dad, let's put it this way. When we settle the refugees, give them the most basic conditions and let them be self-reliant. If they recruited someone, they would give them some subsidies so that they could support their families and reduce their burden. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? This way, the people would slowly develop their loyalty to the court.”Yun Xia tried her best to convince her father.
"Allow me to think about it. If there is a chance, perhaps I will report it to the emperor and see if it is an effective method.”The general finally said.
After Yun Xia talked to the general, she returned to the Phoenix Cabinet and sat in the study. She was still thinking about the matter of forming the Feng army. Actually, she had this thought for a long time. As early as the day she sent Xi 'er home, she had already thought about this problem when she had asked the general to not like red equipment and prefer armed equipment. On the way back today, she had already told her senior brother all her thoughts. Senior Brother told her that as long as the general agreed to help, he would support her unconditionally and be her strongest backing forever.
"Xi 'er, is there a girl about your age in the residence? You have to be smart and able to endure hardships." Yunxia asked Xier.
"Yes, what's the matter, Miss?”Xi 'er felt that Miss was a little strange.
"I want to find you a few companions? Do you like it?" The young lady did not answer but asked instead.
"Young Lady isn't chasing Xi 'er away, is she? Did Xi 'er do something wrong?”Looking at the strange young lady, Xi 'er also had a strange thought.
"Xi 'er! What are you thinking? I really just want to find a few people to come to the Phoenix Cabinet to learn knowledge and martial arts with you. What, you don't like it?" Yun Xia deliberately teased Xi 'er.
"Of course not. Miss, there are two girls in the residence who are about my age. One was Butler Chen's granddaughter, Chunlan, and the other was Xu Xiaohui, who was cooking in the kitchen.”Xi 'er said.
"Are they all as smart as you? I don't want people who are too stupid. What I want is to be able to become a smart person who can write and fight in the future.”Yun Xia asked Xi 'er half-truthfully.
"They are definitely much smarter than this servant, but they are not as lucky as me to be able to follow such a good person like young miss. Speaking of which, I still took advantage of my father. Who asked him to give me such a nice name?”He didn't expect that Xi 'er would actually dare to tease his young miss when she was in a good mood.
"Why did you take advantage of your father again?”Yun Xia was somewhat puzzled.
"Miss, you don't know, right? I heard from my father that the reason I was able to come to this General Manor was because of my name. Because the master said that the name Xi 'er is likable, he let me stay.”Xi 'er said proudly, as if she was doing the most beautiful job in the world.
"Oh, there's such a thing? This is the first time I've heard of it." Red Cloud thought that this was completely the general's intention, Xi 'er, Xi' er. Then, she thought of the topic of the conversation and seemed to have digressed a little. "Xi 'er, don't interrupt." Let's get down to business. I really need to find a few people.”
"What does Miss mean? Xi 'er doesn't understand at all." Xi 'er felt that she would never be able to keep up with the Miss's leaping way of thinking.
" I won't tell you for now. It's a secret!" Yun Xia said in a mysterious manner. A few days later, she finally made a request to the general.
"Dad, I have a request for you.”Yun Xia looked at the general nervously.
"What is it? Tell me." The general looked at his daughter and said very seriously.
"Can the Phoenix Cabinet add two more people?”
"What's wrong? Was there not enough people? You should look for your mother or the butler for such a matter.”The general looked like he was very busy and had no time to meddle in other people's business.
"You don't know, but I didn't need to look for you. But if it's related to the Phoenix Building Army, I have to come to you. Besides, don't I still have to ask Senior Brother for help?”Yun Xia explained.
"Why are you bringing this up again? I haven't had the time to tell the emperor!”The general felt that his daughter was too impatient.
"Aiya, Father, I didn't mean it that way. Think about it, there must be a backbone to build an army. I'm just preparing to nurture talents and backbones in advance. This is also called preparing for a rainy day, my good father.”
"It seems that your art of war is very similar. You're learning and selling it now, right? My good daughter." The general also smiled from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he joked with his daughter."Tell me, who do you want to go to your Phoenix Cabinet?”Yun Xia pursed her lips into a smile and answered the general,""Chunlan's butler, Grandpa Chen's granddaughter, and Xu Xiaohui, who's cooking in the kitchen.”The general readily agreed.
From then on, Red Cloud would ask the three girls to practice martial arts with her whenever she was free. Yun Fei also came to give pointers from time to time. The Spring Festival was approaching, and once it did, it meant that the Empress Dowager's birthday was also here. The 18th of December was the Empress Dowager's birthday. Mr. Liu took this opportunity to give the princes and princesses a new topic," filial piety is the most important."”
After class, the three girls gathered with the princesses again. Everyone came to Yuxiang Pavilion and sat down.”She thought of her parents. Everyone else was talking and laughing, only Yun Xia did not say a word, looking absent-minded. Thus, Long Xiu, Long Susu, Liu Ruyan, and Su Mengmei discussed and decided to punish Red Cloud to sing a song.
"Yun Caixia!" After discussing, the four of them shouted at the same time. She finally woke up Red Cloud, but she looked at a loss and asked blankly,""Everyone is calling me? Is there anything?"
