Chapter 89: The Art of War
In the evening, it was already dark, and Ah Niu came back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he looked like he was normal, Shen He saw the sweat stains on his clothes at a glance, and he was obviously tired.
Xiao Cui has been giving him a look, although Ah Niu is sluggish, he also feels that the atmosphere is a little different, and looks at Shen He and Xiao Cui cautiously, Shen He said: "Ah Niu, how are you training today?" ”
Ah Niu's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Shen He with some incredulity, Xiao Cui looked at it and said with a smile: "Fool! Ah Niu, Miss already knows about your conscription."
Ah Niu let out an "oh" after hearing this, drooping his head, looking like he was waiting for Shen He to criticize him, Shen He saw it and said: "Ah Niu, don't worry, I don't object to you becoming a soldier"
Ah Niu raised his head after hearing this, looked at Shen He in surprise and said, "Sister, are you willing?" Ah Niu is so happy! ”
Shen He touched his head and said, "Are you tired from training in the past two days?" ”
Ah Niu nodded after hearing this, shook his head again, and said, "If you want to fight, it's still very fierce, Ah Niu is powerful, don't be afraid!" ”
Shen He smiled and said: "Sister knows that Ah Niu is the most powerful, in the future, Ah Niu will practice hard, if he really wants to go to the battlefield one day, Ah Niu should not be afraid, be a good soldier and defend our homeland, you know?" ”
Ah Niu nodded as if he didn't understand after hearing this, when he really grew into a great general and went into battle to kill the enemy one day in the future, he finally understood the meaning of what Shen He said, but he never understood, why did Shen He expect this war many years later?
At this time, Xiaocui had already set up the meal and beckoned the two: "Miss, Ah Niu, you two come over to eat first, Ah Niu go wash your hands"
The three of them happily had dinner together, and Ah Niu and Xiaocui went to bed to rest.
Shen He read her book without moving.
In the past few days, Ah Niu has trained a lot, and he has to get up before dawn every day and come back at night.
From his words, Shen He knew that he should have been incorporated into the forbidden army. Every ten days, their military leaders let their middle ranks, sumo wrestlers, and sword and stick players train in martial arts according to the establishment, but fortunately, Ah Niu's martial arts foundation is good, which is not difficult for him.
According to Ah Niu, those who have been trained can be selected into the forbidden military camps to be the commanders in front of the palace, or the left and right classes of the imperial city guards, the inner hall, etc.
What Shen He is worried about now is that Ah Niu's IQ is different from ordinary people, if he really marches and fights, he doesn't know anything about military law and tactics, how to deal with it when the time comes?
The reason why Shen He paid so much attention to Ah Niu's training was because after she had experienced the events of her previous life, she concluded that the war that Nan Chu faced and the catastrophe that she suffered later were not accidental, but had their own reasons.
Southern Chu is the most economically developed among all the countries. But it has suffered from invasions and civil strife from foreign enemies for many years, is it militarily weak? Actually, it's not weak. Its recruitment system is very developed, and the army is very strong, but why would such a strong army be repeatedly defeated and rarely won when encountering foreign invasions?
Shen He believes that it is because of the lack of generals in the army who study military law, they all advocate civil rule and loyalty, but in the face of foreign invasion, these are useless, what is really useful should be the art of controlling the enemy, although Ah Niu's strength is limited, but Shen He still wants to make some preparations.
Thinking of these, after Shen He finished designing a new set of clothes, he began to look for books about military affairs in the books he brought, and finally found a "Seven Books of Martial Arts", which is a selection of some of the art of war from the more common and well-known military books throughout the ages, and then brought together the understanding and annotation of many military masters of these art of war, which can be said to have condensed the essence of a lot of military art, which just meets Shen He's requirements.
So in the next few days, Shen He always told him some of the contents of the military book after Ah Niu came back from training every day, Ah Niu seemed to be a little incomprehensible at first, and he didn't understand it very well, but later as Shen He talked a lot, Ah Niu understood faster and faster, and gradually he could figure it out by himself, Shen He was a little surprised by Ah Niu's changes, but he didn't expect Ah Niu to have some talent in the art of war!
Seeing that the winter solstice is only a few days away, but Su Jingyi has not replied, Song Wu's sister-in-law has come a few times, but she has not found a suitable one, either the price is too high, or the store is too biased, and none of them meet Shen He's requirements.
Xiao Cui was a little anxious, "Miss, you see that the winter solstice is coming soon, we haven't even chosen a storefront, how will it open then, the winter solstice is the most lively time, there will definitely be more guests at that time, and after that time, we will have to wait until New Year's Day and New Year."
Shen He was also a little anxious in her heart, but she believed that Su Jingyi would not let her down, and she knew that it was useless to be anxious, the more anxious she was, the easier it was to make mistakes, but it was better to stabilize her mind and wait patiently for the opportunity, even if it was the winter solstice, wouldn't there be New Year's Day and New Year's Day, thinking about it like this, her heart would be much more relaxed, and she would be able to calm down and design new clothes.
She boasted in front of Su Jingyi and Lu Yu in Fengle Restaurant that day that her store would be different from others, she had been to several large garment shops in the capital in the past few days, and after coming back, she also summed up some rules, most of these ready-to-wear shops have a fixed source of customers, and the customers are dignitaries in the capital.
These families will make new clothes every month, so they will make clothes in regular garment shops.
For the big families in the capital, each house will have a special subordinate who is responsible for tailoring affairs. Usually they bring the fabric to the garment shop, tell the tailor the size and requirements, and pick up the clothes at the appointed date.
This is roughly similar to when Shen He was in the Jinxiufang of Yong'an City, except that the number and scale of ready-to-wear shops in the capital are much larger than those in Yong'an City, and the competition is also greater.
Thinking of these, Shen He had a headache, if she opened a store, she would not be able to open a market in the capital in a short period of time with her own design, because those old stores have been operating in the capital for many years and have a deep foundation, and she has just opened, how can customers trust her?
Besides, how can she ensure that her new clothes will be loved by customers? None of this is yet known, but if she wants to make a name for herself as quickly as possible in the crowd of ready-to-wear stores, she must be unique, not only what others have, but also what others don't.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't think of any good ideas, and when she saw that the hour was not early, she went to bed to rest.
Shen He didn't expect that night, she dreamed of Huang Ji'an.
It was the first time she had dreamed of him since she left Yong'an City.
It seems that it was when they first met, Huang Ji'an drank porridge with her in the porridge mansion, and Lu Yu and Mo Ying were sitting opposite them.
Huang Ji'an in the dream still made her feel warm, he blew the porridge and handed it to her, Shen He was about to take it, but he was startled by a look from Lu Yu on the other side, and the porridge spilled on the ground. (To be continued.) )
