The noon sun passed through the gaps between the trunks, leaving the mottled shadows on Xiao Ming and the other two.

After arguing with Pang Yukun, Fiji finally looked at Xiao Ming and waited for Xiao Ming's decision.

The handling of these royal family members is indeed very troublesome. If you ignore them, Xiao Ming will inevitably be called unkind and unrighteous. After all, even a foolish monarch has to take care of the clan in thousands of years of history.

At this time, Xiao Ming gradually realized that the royal family itself was a huge wealthy family, and the emperor was the leader of this family.

But even so, Xiao Ming was a little reluctant. He knew the situation of the treasury. The current situation of the fief is not rich, so how can he raise these clan relatives?

Moreover, he has no feelings for these clan relatives. One is that Xiao Ming's predecessor has left Beijing since childhood, and the other is that he is from the modern era and knows that this is not a solution.

The more this royal family reproduces, the more it will become a heavy burden to the country in the long run.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ming said, "It's not just to raise it, it's not even to raise it. Since that's the case, I have a compromise."

Pang Yukun asked: "How to win the favor?"

"It's very simple, allowing the royal family to do business." Xiao Ming said lightly.

In feudal society, the emperor was very close to the royal family and would rather raise these people like pigs than let them rely on themselves. What he feared was that the power and money in the hands of these people would have ideas about the throne.

After all, they are all descendants of Emperor Gaozu. If the eldest son of the direct line inherits the throne, they will fall on the side branches.

"Your Highness, you must not." Fiji was shocked. "This is the rule set by Emperor Gaozu at that time. It is for the stability of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. It cannot indulge these royal relatives to do business."

Every time Xiao Ming hears any ancestral family rules, he will have a headache. Perhaps in these people, Xiao Yuanzhi is great, but in Xiao Ming's view, he is the monarch of the feudal dynasty after all, and their own thoughts are very backward.

So he said, "Since this is the rule set by Emperor Gaozu, then I ask you if the Great Chongqing Kingdom is stable now?"

"This..." Fiji stopped talking.

"As the saying goes, only by following the current situation is a true hero. How can the domestic chaos in Dayu still abide by some stubborn rules?" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Fiji was shocked. Even Xiao Wenxuan dared not say such disobedient words. The family rules of our ancestors were the foundation of the country. If this were in Chang'an, it would inevitably be opposed by many officials.

But this is Qingzhou. When he saw Pang Yukun’s smile, he realized that this matter was irreversible.

Xiao Ming looked at Fiji. At this time, Fiji looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. He understood that he said something crazy in this era, because the rules set by the founding emperor of the Dayu Kingdom were equivalent to the Constitution.

Now Xiao Ming is violating the Constitution and blatantly breaking the rules. It is basically the same as the US president's failure to recognize the Declaration of Independence. If Qingzhou had not been basically controlled by the officials he trained, a large number of officials would probably kneel in front of the palace and ask him to take his life back soon.

"Your Highness is right. After all, this Great Chongqing Kingdom is about to change its status." Fiji's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Pang Yukun's eyes flashed and a smile appeared. Fiji was compromised.

In fact, compared to Fiji, he understood Xiao Ming's thoughts better. The country of fence is a country of fence, and the country of Dayu is a country of Dayu, so this rule naturally needs to be changed.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Since that's the case, you inform these royal relatives to change the Japanese king to meet them and make it clear. The world today is no longer the world before. Only those who adapt to local conditions can maintain wealth and honor for a long time."

"Yes, Your Highness." The two said in unison.

This time, Xiao Ming basically did not plan to take care of these royal relatives anymore. After giving the last batch of silver, they would do whatever they like, and at most he would take care of his business.

He is determined not to spend millions of taels of silver to support these people every year.

After talking about this, the two entered the Qingzhou camp. At this time, some new recruits were watching the daily training of the Qingzhou army.

Unlike before, many training facilities have been established in the Qingzhou camp, and these settings were created by the generals after reading his "Soldier Training and Exercise Classic".

There are runways, horizontal bars, rockery climbing, single-plank bridges, and mud on the training ground of the camp. The training programs of the recruits are also extremely modern, including 5 kilometers and 100 meters, single and double bar practice, push-ups, sit-ups, long jumps, and grappling techniques.

In addition to these physical training, there are also technical trainings such as arrays, bullet loading, three-stage shooting, rolling in, and climbing, and another one is to wear backpacks and carry gear.

Looking at the soldiers training on the training ground, the new recruits who passed the inspection were full of curiosity.

As the saying goes, I have never eaten pork and watched pig run. The training of veterans in the past is completely different from the training methods now. Now these soldiers have all kinds of strange movements, which really makes them see.

This is the first time Fiji has seen Qingzhou soldiers training. This strange appearance made him shake his head frequently, but he understands that it is this kind of training that makes Qingzhou soldiers become strong.

However, he was still surprised. At noon, Xiao Ming led them to the cafeteria in Qingzhou Daying. When the food was served, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Highness, is this what ordinary soldiers eat?"

At this time, in front of Fiji were three white flour steamed buns, a dish of leeks and eggs, a dish of braised pork, a dish of celery shrimp and a bowl of millet porridge.

Three of these dishes are stir-frying.

Pang Yukun smiled and said, "Master Fei Ge, now you understand why military expenditure is so high."

"I understand. These soldiers are almost as ate as the nobles." Fiji said, and ate with chopsticks. The taste of the dish made him even more amazed.

Xiao Ming said, "Today we are lucky. We have caught up with the meat that we eat once a week. This is not the case every day. If the Qingzhou army raised pigs themselves, the soldiers would not have meat to eat."

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming has only been here for three years, and the real government reform has only been more than a year. It takes time for this to be done. At present, the material for the ban on the country is still not abundant enough. After all, even a pig is raised, it takes a year to kill it. There is no hormone ripening here.

"Since that's the case, this is much better than the imperial guards. It's so strange that the Qingzhou army is strong and full. With high-intensity training, can this soldier not be strong?" Fiji became more and more confident in the future, and the matter of the royal relatives was also thrown behind his head.

While the three men were patrolling for recruitment of new recruits, Xiao Ming's order arrived in Yangzhou.
