No one knew that on the same day, the two top rich and handsome people in the whole big week were beaten by their respective fathers. The father didn't keep his hand, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't lose a single hair, but Chu Hao could only lie flat on the bed and hum.

Ruan Bai was pulled by King Pingxi to talk about his heart, but this topic was a little difficult to talk about. The king of Pingxi went around for a long time, and he didn't get to the point, but the level of the prince was very high, Ruan Bai didn't see anything wrong at all, and thought that the old man was really concerned about their daily life.

"Whoever has time to do the housework. Anyway, it's not a big place, so it doesn't take much time. "As long as the stupid dog doesn't wreak havoc, there's only a little space in the house.

"Breakfast is generally made by Chu Hao, and he gets up early. I'll make lunch and dinner, and he'll come back for dinner. ”

"When I start my morning exercise, Chu Hao will accompany me."

"Dad, I want to implement a national fitness program at the border, I don't know if it's feasible?" It was too difficult to deal with the parent assessment, Ruan Bai behaved for a while, and couldn't help but pull the topic away.

Ruan Bai's various ideas have always been imaginative, always thinking of one out of the other, but he can often put them into practice, and the practical results are usually unexpectedly good. Look at him in less than a year, people have never even walked out of Shunyang Pass, but the "lackeys" under his hands have been all over the Great Zhou.

This rhythm made the aristocratic class, which had always sought stability, very uncomfortable. For example, when King Pingxi first came to Shunyang Pass, Ruan Bai's career outside could be named a Baili Fang. But even if there was only one Bailifang, it was also a national distribution at that time. As long as it is a place with a prosperous economy, there is either a store pù in Bailifang, or there is a consignment point.

Then now the king of Pingxi has been here for nearly three months, and Ruan Bai is busy with dogs in the middle, but there was only one winery in the capital, but in just three months, seven or eight wineries have been opened. There are even several souvenir shops. With the chain operation of souvenir stores, the express delivery business has gradually spread, and several fixed routes have been formed from the place of origin to the place of sale.

As far as King Binh Tsai knows, Ruan Bai is now working with his wife on a raw material processing factory......

The improvement in people's lives is obvious. He didn't know the specific changes in other places, but here in Shunyangguan, he has always seen it.

Last year, the Huns came in, and after fleeing, the population of Shunyang Pass, without having to look through the local chronicles, knew that there must be a lot less. But the lives of the common people are getting better and better. Although they still feel grief for their deceased relatives, they can't hide their hope for the future.

It's not that he doesn't want to persuade Ruan Bai, don't be too showy, if you have any ideas, just take your time. But looking at such a change, he couldn't speak. Anyway, just such a child, what he does is also a good thing, he is also a prince, and he can always protect people.

Now listening to Ruan Bai's plan, he is not too strange: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

"Hmm. The main thing is the people at the border this time, didn't they catch a lot of Huns. Last year, I heard that the Huns, that is, five or six people, touched a village, and no one in the whole village would resist, allowing the Huns to rob them of their belongings...... "Throughout the history of human development, in fact, there have been countless massacres. But with the exception of a few cases, are the people slaughtered really powerless to resist at all?

Even if you are facing an enemy with a butcher's knife in your hand and who has undergone strict training, is it true that as an ordinary person, you can only be passively slaughtered and cannot do anything else?

The bloodiness of the nation is really all gone, and all that remains is a group of quails who only promise?

Of course not. People are able to change, and courage and bloodiness, even if they don't usually show themselves, can be stimulated when they are threatened by themselves, their relatives and friends.

Not long after the battle just ended, who was the first person to wield a knife at the Huns? Yun Gu.

Last year, when Ruan Bai first met Yun Gu, she was still a slave of the Huns, and even worked hard for the Huns in order to protect herself. After a winter of life in a deserted post, the other girls followed Liniang to Xishan City, but she built an adobe house and waited alone for her relatives who had fled. She is not waiting, helping and organizing the villagers to work and exercise together.

And Yun Gu is in her twenties, and she is still an age that can be called a little girl in modern times. What a little girl can do, others can't?

Ruan Bai's words at the beginning were still somewhat logical, but the further he went, the more confused he became: "...... It's not that the enemy is too ferocious, and it's not that the soldiers of the Zhou people are not brave enough. This is the same as the heart of guarding against others, and the people just need to master a certain ability to protect themselves. "And collective activities can easily generate a sense of community, and unity is always the greatest strength.

King Pingxi listened to Ruan Bailala's mixed words, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This plan is good, but according to Dad's opinion, you don't have to go out of your way to implement it." ”

"Huh?" Ruan Bai didn't understand.

"The people may be foolish, but they are not stupid. This time the Huns came, but the villagers did not suffer any substantial losses. On the contrary, because of killing and catching enemies, they can get a lot of money. Needless to say, people will naturally carry out what is beneficial.

And in fact, your national fitness plan has already been implemented by a few people. They run every day, learn to box, and make their own bows and arrows...... If Xiao Er has a heart, he can inform Cao Xu and ask him to send someone to teach those villagers some martial arts every once in a while. The martial arts in the army are simple, but I am not afraid that I will not be able to learn them. ”

Ruan Bai listened to King Pingxi's words and nodded ignorantly: "As long as there are favorable things, as long as people see the benefits, people will do it?" "That makes sense.

King Pingxi saw Ruan Bai looking up at the sky, his eyes diverged, he smiled and didn't talk to him again, he turned around and went into the bedroom, and saw his own son who was beaten into a pig's head, holding the big fat and sleeping in the dark.

Midsummer has passed, and I don't feel it in the sun outside, but when I get inside, it's still a little cold.

The big fat didn't dislike Chu Hao's hug, and obediently lay on the bed, saw King Pingxi come in, looked up at him, and then lay down again.

King Pingxi looked at his son and raised his hand to tuck the horns of the quilt. The stinky boy is really tired this time. When he heard the number of enemies killed by Chu Hao written in the final battle report, he was a little suspicious that it was fake. It's too exaggerated, he almost killed Xiao Qian alone! Not counting the various supplies he touched, especially the large number of horses.

He also figured out the matter of Fang Yu. A mixed-race, although he claims to be a Zhou person, but the other half of his bloodline is the Great Khan of the Huns, and he is still a real grandmaster. If such a person is placed in the army, I am afraid that he will not dare no matter how big his heart is. It's a bit difficult to arrange.

When Chu Hao opened his eyes and saw King Pingxi, he was startled: "Dad." These days, his confidence in his martial arts has been hit to the point of dripping. Obviously, on the battlefield, as long as he is careful, it is not impossible to kill in and out. As soon as he bumped into the real grandmaster, he was like a grandmaster made up by himself. Especially his father, who is too cruel.

"Hmm. Erlang is still young, even if the two of you are in love, you can't be so frivolous, you should be polite. The so-called husband and wife respect each other like a guest and raise their eyebrows. You have to respect him, and you can't lie to him and ...... him because he is young," King Pingxi said and became angry, "I originally wanted to wait for another two years, but since you already have a husband and wife, the marriage of the two of you must be done as soon as possible." ”

If he honestly told his father that he and Ruan Bai were not husband and wife, then the conclusion was that he would have to wait another two years before he could marry his second brother; If he makes his father think so, then he will be able to marry his second brother immediately! The price is just a beating, and his father has already beaten him anyway.

That's going to be wrong!

The injury in the morning, after half a day, all the bruises have floated, and the pig's head face looks very fishy lips with any expression, even if it doesn't make any expression, it is not pleasing to the eye anywhere.

This is the first time that King Pingxi has been disappointed in his stupid son, and sighed: "You have a good rest, Dad will return to Xijing tomorrow." Now that things are straightened out on your side, see for yourself whether you want to stay in Shunyang Pass or go back to Xijing. I thought about writing a letter back, and my father arranged it for you. ”

"Got it." Chu Hao looked at the back of King Pingxi, and when he stepped out of the door, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Dad, I'm sorry." "Because of his relationship, their branch may be doomed. If he and Ruan Bai get married, they will inevitably affect the palace and be ridiculed by those so-called scholars.

King Pingxi understood what Chu Hao meant, and scolded with a smile: "Idiot! ”

The Chu family has a firm foothold, can it rely on itself? The clans are one. He has no queen, and the children of the Chu family are all the children of their family. He can even raise the girl of his wife's maiden family as his own daughter, doesn't he have the heart to accept one or two children of his own clan?

As for the so-called scholars, they are never stupid. Just like what he said to Ruan Bai just now, in the eyes of outsiders, there is only profit. As long as befriending the Chu family can bring them benefits, they will not care whether Chu Hao married a man or a pig.

In the following time, the entire Shunyang Pass fell into calm. It seems that the previous war has consumed all the energy, and the only place to be busy seems to be the medical hall.

It's just that under this calm, all kinds of dark currents are surging.

After King Pingxi left, this dark tide became obvious. Even Ruan Bai, who was "recuperating" at the post station, felt the impetuousness.

However, the heavens obviously couldn't get used to Ruan Bai being so "idle", and ordered him and Chu Hao to be directly responsible for escorting the Hun prince to the capital.

Ruan Bai forgot a little that his job was actually a courier. It's all because his subordinates are too powerful, and he can't do it himself, so he can only be idle and bored and toss a little mess.

The post guards didn't know that they were studying hard and making progress every day, and they were beaten upside down by their own post men in their hearts, looking at Ruan Bai with complicated expressions.

This order is not normal, everyone knows it.

Although the post station is responsible for transporting materials to and from the country, the Hun prince is still alive and is definitely not among the "materials".

To treat such high-value prisoners, they are usually not escorted by local soldiers, such as Chu Hao; Instead, they directly dispatched the forbidden army from the capital to Shunyang Pass, and after picking up the goods/Hun prince, they escorted them to the capital.

For the Shunyang Pass side, as long as they deliver the goods/Hun prince to the forbidden army, they have already completed the task. If any accidents happen after that, it has nothing to do with them.

Of course, such a high-level trade activity has nothing to do with a small post like Ruan Bai. Besides, even if he wants to deliver goods, he is only responsible for delivering it to Leyangyi, which is thirty miles away, or Guancheng, which is ten miles away.

Tang Yan and the others obviously knew the news, and greeted Ruan Bai with smiles on their faces: "Lord Ruan, this time Tang and the others are going to borrow the east wind of the adults and return to Beijing together." ”

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that their families were in the capital, they would be a little reluctant to leave. Obviously it is a border place, but the food they eat is not bad, and the food is even better than in the capital. The key is that there are Ruan Bai and King Yue Ze here, and the two of them together are worth the entire Ministry of Industry...... No, it's much stronger than the Ministry of Works. There are a lot of things they have never heard of. In the past, what exquisite craftsmanship and superb techniques did they emphasise, and the final product obtained was not only more delicate and durable, but what else did it do? No!

They never imagined that there would be a tool that could directly let people see into the distance, just like a fairy method. The role played by those terrible potions in the war made them even more honorable.

Ruan Bai was right before. Their inaction, their corpses, are the greatest culpability. And most of them didn't have the same mind as Ruan Bai and King Yue Ze, and found that the good things were not hidden, but patiently explained to them in the same way.

It's just that they obviously can't stay here forever. The purpose of their visit was to examine the role of stirrups and horseshoes in actual combat. Now that the war is over, of course they have to go back. Now that they can go the same way with Ruan Bai and extend the time to ask Ruan Bai for advice, how can they not be surprised?

Besides, they knew the attitude of some of the people above towards Ruan Bai. In their opinion, this obviously unreasonable order was almost a clear sign that Ruan Bai would go to Beijing to take up his post.

Perhaps, Ruan Bai will be able to become their colleague.

Perhaps, Ruan Bai will be able to become a member of the Ministry of Industry.

Well, as long as it is not snatched away by Li Shangshu of the household department. But in the face of Li Shangshu, they really have no confidence. Not long ago, even the Imperial Observatory was dug into the corner. Among the various departments in the imperial court, Yushitai can already be regarded as the most desireless, and the various funds of their Ministry of Industry are still held by the Ministry of Households. Can your own boss carry it? You don't have to think about it, you don't have the slightest chance of winning. You must know that when Ruan Bai handed over the things in the capital, he had an abacus. Before they came out, the household department had all been popularized. Li Shangshu also has a gold abacus and a jade abacus.

Ruan Bai faced a few people with sad and happy faces, and he didn't want to know what they were thinking at all. Of course, he didn't expect to be left behind if he didn't go to the capital, after all, this order was too mysterious.

He actually doesn't mind being a city man, but Shunyang Pass will always be his rear. He has set up the grass platform team, and it is definitely impossible to give it to others. Moreover, he prefers Xijing to the capital. There's no way, he obviously has to be a son-in-law in his life, Chu Hao's base camp is in Xijing, so he can't live in two places, right?

But it's too early to say anything, and it's not his turn to say anything. The dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty is poor and backward in his opinion, the court is poor and *, and it is not much good to be a civil servant. Anyway, he is a small grassroots level, how much does he want. It's a big deal to see that the situation is not right, quit your job, and go home to make money. Maybe he'll be able to study hybrid rice ...... Ahem, he still doesn't have enough IQ for this, but he can travel to other places, maybe he will find some potatoes and corn?

The world is so big, I want to see it!

Tang Yan and the others didn't know that Ruan Bai was in a daze, his mind had already run out of Da Zhou and rushed to the world, seeing that Ruan Bai had not said a word for a long time, they thought that the child was still shocked by the news, and I am afraid that they also thought of the stakes behind this.

They put themselves in Ruan Bai's position and thought about it, and found that it was easy to understand that Ruan Bai was reluctant to leave Shunyang Pass.

Here, although he is just a small post, does anyone in the entire Shunyang Pass dare to offend him? Not a single one.

And Shunyang Pass is becoming prosperous at a very rapid speed. Even in times of war, there were no fewer merchants here. Of course, these merchants are not here to do business, but to deliver supplies. The grain and herb drugs raised, both in terms of quantity, quality and price, were enough to put the officials in charge of this line to shame.

Now that the war has just stopped, normal trading has begun in the bazaar. Even the nearby villagers took things out to set up stalls.

Even if Ruan Bai is in Shunyang Pass, relying on these merchants, what can't he buy?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that going to the capital, an opportunity for others to climb to the sky, is not a good thing for Ruan Bai?

Ruan Bai was distracted all the way, and he didn't even know when Tang Yan and the others would leave.

The time given above is very tight, Ruan Bai still has time to be in a daze, Tang Yan and the others have to hurry back to pack their baggage, and by the way, they have to pack the "unadaptable" Lord Zhang together. In addition, the most important thing is that although they were either burning glass or mixing potions one by one throughout the war, they still had to write about the stirrups and horsesshoes, and they had to hurry up to collect a few jù and strive to dig up more money from the household.

King Pingxi beat him really hard, and he was well versed in the art of beating people. Chu Hao lay down for two days, and finally a face could barely be seen, his body was extremely sore, but he didn't hurt his muscles and bones at all. This is still the result of Ruan Bai pushing him medicinal wine.

So, as a grandmaster, Chu Hao took a carriage to do things. He had to arrange the training plan for the next period of time, and then since Ruan Bai was also leaving, he had to arrange someone to be in charge of logistics. The main thing is that he has to make sure who is going with him and who is staying.

Escorting the Hun prince is obviously not going to be smooth and easy. The people he brought along the way must be good hands, but not too many people, otherwise the charges of disturbing the people and other crimes, the group of civil officials who have eaten enough and have nothing to do will be detained immediately.

But if he takes all the good men away, if no one can subdue those who are left, it will soon become a mass of loose sand. Moreover, his interests in Shunyang Pass cannot be guaranteed. It doesn't matter what his identity is, it's certain that people will go to tea and cool. Although these people are usually easy to clean up, it is disgusting.

In the post station, after Ruan Bai came back to his senses, he also began to arrange things seriously.

Who will take care of the post station temporarily, who will find what happened, and the livestock at home...... The key is the third family. He estimated that he would probably not be able to come back, and he didn't know if the third child would like to go with him. But he still has a contradiction. They are not pet dogs, will they adapt to real city life?

Ruan Bai sat cross-legged on the ground with a stern expression.

Four fat dogs sat in front of him, all a head taller than him. Probably thinking that sitting like this was a bit crowded, Xiaopang sat directly next to Ruan Bai, and coquettishly put his head directly on Ruan Bai's legs.

Ruan Bai touched the dog's head, and was very reluctant in his heart: "The third, the fourth, the big fat, the little fat, Chu Hao and I are leaving tomorrow." ”

The third child tilted his head, and he didn't know if he understood: "Huh? ”

"Do you want to come with me, or go back to the grassland?" Ruan Bai felt a heat on his face, and it turned out that Xiao Fat raised his head and licked his face, licking it several times in a row.

The big fat also came over, licked his other face, and pushed him with his fat paws, as if to comfort: "Huh? ”

Ruan Bai sniffed, and finally couldn't hold back, holding two fat papers and crying: "Big ...... Fat...... Fat, I can't bear it...... Belch...... House...... Belch...... Cannot...... You guys...... Uh......"

What's the hiccups?

Who is Big Chubby? The big fat and the little chubby glanced at each other and tilted their heads.

After Chu Hao arranged things, when he came back, he had a cold pot and a cold stove at home, and he didn't even light the lamp.

Xu Liu, when they heard Ruan Bai's cry, they avoided the old man. The adults in their family are still children, so this time he is so uprooted from his hometown......

Ruan Bai lay on the ground, curled up in a ball, and hiccuped incessantly: "...... Belch...... Summer time...... Belch...... Elder brother...... Belch...... Help me...... Belch! "Why can he just burp for so long, and his chest hurts when he burps. I've tried all the methods, but it doesn't work at all, they're all liars!

"Poof." Chu Hao hurriedly scooped the person up from the ground, lit the lamp, and saw Ruan Bai with wisps of dog hair on his body, "Why do you burp when you play with a dog?" ”

Horse! Lao Tzu is so uncomfortable, his soul is faint and he still talks coolly! Poof! Poof, poof, fart?

"Humph!" Chu Dagou, you wait, wait for Lao Tzu to stop hiccups, I want you to look good!

Chu Hao pinched Ruan Bai up and down, looking at his red eyes was really pitiful, and bowed his head and kissed: "Okay, what's wrong?" ”

Ruan Bai turned his head and buried his chest: "I want to send the third child back to the grassland." "It's sad to think about!

"Huh? No more hiccuping. ”

Chu Hao glared at Ruan Bai: "You want to send it back?" ”
