Chapter 169: Grandma Thinks You're Cold
There was a person in the city who was rough in Beiyi, saying that the portrait of the bearded man with a square head and big ears was a reward order, and the Wuhuan people offered a price of 10,000 gold to buy the head of the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu. 10,000 gold is 10,000 taels of silver, which also confirms how valuable Zhang Xiaowu's head is in the legend. But those Wuhuan people didn't know Zhang Xiaowu, and they didn't know what he looked like, maybe they didn't know who the Wuhuan painter listened to talk nonsense about Zhang Xiaowu's appearance, so they painted him this portrait of the bearded Zhang Fei. However, Zhang Xiaowu is now also a thick beard, and he has become a bearded guest without shaving for ten days, and other painters are not wrong. It's just that the ugly portrait made him angry, and he actually painted his eyes into cross-eyed......
Lao Jin lurked in Mucheng for three years as a spy of Beiyi, and he saw Zhang Xiaowu's appearance with his own eyes, so he painted the second chapter of the painting, not to mention, Lao Jin's painting skills are good, and Zhang Xiaowu's portrait is lifelike. Lao Jin probably planned to have the opportunity to go out of the city after a while, and then hand over the true portrait of Zhang Xiaowu to the Beiyi scouts. But perhaps the bounty of 10,000 gold was too tempting, so Lao Jin decided to assassinate Zhang Xiaowu himself and chose the most prosperous crossroads, but he failed.
After the assassination failed and the valuable crossbow was lost, Lao Jin saw that the city was constantly looking for the assassin day and night, and immediately regretted it and had to close the door. And it was precisely because he had been closed for many days, not doing business or farming, that aroused Zhang Tongming's suspicions, which exposed himself.
After listening to the report, Zhang Xiaowu was interested in Zhang Tongming, and ordered Zhang Tongming to rush to the garrison for questioning.
In Zhang Xiaowu's view, the image of Zhang Tongming, who is as careful as a hair, should be the little fat man of the Guan team in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", or Zhang Xiaojing in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", but he didn't expect to see an ugly man with a square face, triangular eyes, sparse hair, and a huge black mole on his face, and he was as strong as a water tank.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaowu thanked God for getting up, although he was not a beautiful man in the previous life, he was an ordinary person, Zhang Xiaowu in this life was handsome and powerful, and his image was excellent, but if he was allowed to cross over to this Zhang Tongming, he would definitely be frightened when he washed his face and bowed his head every day.
"If I were reborn in him, I'm afraid that Jiu'er would swear not to marry me, let alone any martyrdom, and I would have run away with that Wuhuan copy of Brother Tom." Zhang Xiaowuxin said that it has to be said that a person's appearance sometimes hides his talent, unless this person is a Hangzhou horse, after all, not everyone can be uninterested in money.
Through a conversation with Zhang Tongming, Zhang Xiaowu began to pay attention to him, this Zhang Tongming is the grandson of a family of scholars in Yuezhou in the south, the so-called scholar family refers to the family that obtained the title, the ancestors have contributed to the empire, was given the title by the emperor, and passed on to future generations. In the three hundred years of the empire, each emperor had to seal out hundreds of titles to win people's hearts, and the Holy Han title was divided into five levels, namely king, uncle, marquis, husband, and scholar, each level of three grades, of which the first product was the most respectful, and the third grade was the last, and the king of Qin was the first rank of the prince, and only the prince was named the king of Qin, the king of Nanyang County was the third grade of the king, the Dushan Bo was the second grade of the earl, and the Marquis of Yingchuan was the first rank of the marquis. Because the lowest title is a third-grade scholar, the name of the scholar family is also named.
The ancestor of the Zhang family was the third husband, but in his generation, he was already in the middle of the family, and in order to revive the glory of the past, Zhang Tongming chose to join the army. Zhang Tongming's ability is much stronger than many people, he can be literary and martial arts, he was also reused in the third regiment at the beginning, and he will soon be promoted to the school - Inuyi sneak attack on the Yashan camp, Zhang Tongming's original bright future was shattered.
Maybe it's because of the background of the scholar family, Zhang Tongming is very persistent in power, some people like money, some people like beautiful women, some people like games, some people like power, Zhang Tongming is the last kind of person. Zhang Xiaowu recognizes Zhang Tongming's talent, he thinks that no one is perfect, at least this official fan gives him a very transparent feeling, just like Guan Cheng likes beautiful women, Su Yu likes money, and talents with pursuits are more real.
Li Chuncheng was a little arrogant in handling affairs, and he was unfamiliar with the rough management of the army, so Zhang Xiaowu appointed Zhang Tongming as the commander of the security battalion to assist Li Chuncheng in managing the city defense. This Zhang Tongming did not become a school assistant in the third regiment, but he got what he wanted in Mucheng, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
On the day the assassination case was solved, on the second day of October in the 29th year of Taiqian, Saibei suddenly ushered in the first snow, and the local elders said that this year's snow came later than in previous years. Zhang Xiaowu listened, and suddenly missed Daolang.
It stands to reason that the first snow is just what God meant, but the first snow in Saibei fell for three days and three nights. This snow is as uncomfortable as grandma thinks you are cold, obviously you don't need it, she just dresses you in autumn pants, cotton wool pants, cotton pants, and assault pants in three layers inside and three layers outside......
After the snow stopped, Zhang Xiaowu pushed open the door and walked down the street, the snow so thick that it submerged his waist.
The soldiers of the city had no choice but to stop training, and began to shovel snow in the city under the orders of the garrison envoy, and it took two days to clear the streets of Mucheng. Before they could rejoice, on the sixth day of October, the second snow came. Fortunately, this second snow is like the love of the third child, and it only stays for a moment - the snow fell for two hours, and it was blown by the north wind to the side of the two wolf passes.
The people of this era are a bit like southerners who travel through the world, they don't rely on equipment to keep out the cold, they all rely on "righteousness", as long as they shiver, even if they are cold, they will quickly recover as before. Perhaps technological progress has degraded the human body, and people's resistance to influenza is so weak that a single cold can infect a group.
Zhang Xiaowu has not met a few people who have suffered from colds in this world so far, which shows the importance of tempering to people.
He also wants to rely on "righteousness" to keep out the cold, but the Northern Wasteland is not the Central Plains, and if he is not prepared for the cold, he will only freeze to death. Fortunately, there were many winter clothes in the arsenal, and Zhang Xiaowu ordered the distribution of winter clothes early, but found that there were some chaff in the inner layer of the winter clothes. Zhang Xiaowu was so angry that he scolded the unscrupulous businessman for killing the sergeant, but it made the other generals very strange, it turned out that everyone was used to applying chaff to make winter clothes for the lining.
Zhang Xiaowu found a sheep in the city, shaved the wool and replaced the chaff with wool, and gave the wool winter coat to Wang Yijin, who blocked an arrow for himself. After Wang Yijin wore it, he often sweated hot after saying that he was really uncomfortable - he didn't take it off even if he died of heat. The winter clothes made of wool are warm and light, Zhang Xiaowu raised money to let Hu Sanwan give a set to each school captain, this kind of winter clothes was sought after by everyone for a while, and it became popular.
Unconsciously, Zhang Xiaowu invented another thing in this world, a down jacket.
