"You can take this." Yun Dai handed him a crane talisman made of black jade, "With this, you can command the army."

This was originally Xiao Ziye's thing, but later it was handed to Xiaoer and given to Mingcheng. It was found by Jun Qingbai and finally returned to Yun Dai's hands.

Wei Jintai solemnly took the He Fu and knelt on one knee to salute Yun Dai: "I will never let down the Queen Mother's entrusted."

Although he did not say it explicitly, if he took over the He Fu, he would become the general of the Northern Qi army.

From the stubborn and thin young man who was exiled and fought with wild wolves to the palace guards and guard commanders, he was promoted all the way to the general today.

A boy who was once ignorant and fearless, transformed into a steady and reliable man.

Wei Jintai's growth along the way is obvious to all, and it can be regarded as a drama of counterattack by the son of a criminal.

It took half a month for Wei Jintai to plunge in and hardly come back.

At least we must clarify the military situation.

He kept coming to see Yun Dai and Zhao Yuanjing to report on the situation.

Yun Dai saw that he was unshaven and his eyes were blue. Knowing that he had not had a good rest, he reached out to pour him a cup of tea, "Sit down and say slowly."

Wei Jintai smiled and said, "I am not tired, but the matter is complicated and I have some headaches."

"Tell me, look."

"The situation is not very good." Wei Jintai handed over a list, "Empress, look, this is the data counted by the Zhechong Prefectures of various states."

Yun Dai took it and looked at it, and handed it to Zhao Yuanjing.

Judging from these data, Zhao Yuanjing is still good.

Zhao Yuanjing looked through for a moment, frowned and said, "So many people died?"

Wei Jintai nodded with a heavy expression: "The Zhechong lieutenants of each prefecture cannot be fully collected. According to their statistics, the number of male personnel in each prefecture is as low as 60 to 70% less than two years ago."

Simply put, if there were 100,000 male men in a mansion who were in their prime, after experiencing the war, the remaining one would be less than half.

Wei Jintai said again: "I have also gone to several counties, but nine out of ten families are empty. Most of the farmers are left with only widowed elderly people, women and young children."

According to the current system of government troops, soldiers are recruited during wars, and after the battle, they are disbanded and let them go home to plow the fields and farm.

Food is the most important thing for people, and farming and farming requires a large amount of labor.

If no one farms, there will be no food. Without food, more people will starve to death.

Looking at this list, Yun Dai seemed to see the scenes of starvation everywhere in Northern Qi.

She shivered.

"I now announce that from today on all the remaining imperial guards, guards, government soldiers, local regiment training, and any tribe soldiers will be disbanded! Let them all go home to farm and take care of the elderly and children!"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Your action is too big and may cause a rebound."

"I also know that you should do things slowly and not be too hasty. But you have also seen the current situation in Northern Qi. The number of men has decreased sharply, the farmland is deserted, and the arable land is abandoned. This is not possible. If you leave it alone, the men in Northern Qi will die."

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Atai, please follow her orders and see how you react."

Wei Jintai went indeed.

It was indeed strongly protested.

Doing so has moved too many people's cakes and interests.

Among them, the regiment training in various prefectures and local areas responded the most.
