Chapter 428: The Prophet's Hardship
"The emperor wants to roast me on the fire?"
After the military discussion of this war against the Huns, he could vaguely feel the slightly strange eyes of the other generals when they looked at him, and the slightly worried eyes of Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, only had one thought left in Heifu's heart:
"Get out of the way!"
Originally, I wanted to say a few words of sincerity, adding a little bit in the hearts of Qin Shihuang and Gongzi Fusu, showing clumsiness and seeking land The effect is almost the same. Unexpectedly, the performance was too much, and he was pushed by Qin Shi Huang and arranged it clearly.
The supervising army is either the favored minister of the king, and Meng Yi of the Western Army of Jianlong belongs to this category, or he is respected by the country, and Li Si, the court lieutenant of the supervising county army, is like this, and there are also practical people like Zhang Han, who are in charge of paving bridges and building roads by the way.
It's not for nothing to arrange Childe to be the overseer, but Heifu doesn't want Childe Fusu to go to Beidi County to be the overseer!
Because he didn't want to be swept into the deep water of the battle for succession early, he preferred to be silent on the shore and watch for a while.
But it backfired, the emperor's order had been given, and he had to obey.
The heart of the emperor is really unpredictable, and Heifu doesn't even know whether the emperor really wants to cultivate Fusu or deliberately puts himself under more pressure.
Heifu has been a little too sharp recently, and he was persuaded by his wife to keep a low profile, otherwise Hugh said that his colleagues and generals, and even the court bosses would be afraid of him. Who knows, now he has been arranged to be Gongzi Fusu, the most likely successor of the future empire, as the overseer......
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to push him to the forefront!
Heifu can foresee that in this war, countless eyes will be turned to the northland, staring at his and Fusu's every move. No matter what happens afterwards, Heifu will be labeled as "Fusu", and it will be difficult to get rid of it.
Working together is sometimes a political stamp.
Now Heifu can only comfort himself like this: "Fortunately, the emperor only let Fusu be my supervisor, not the main general and deputy general......
Hefu remembered a story he had read in "The Left Biography".
Jin Xiangong sent the crown prince Shensheng to attack the Dongshan Gaoluo clan, and the minister Rick admonished: "The eldest son is the one who serves the temple sacrifices, the Sheji festival and takes care of the king's diet in the morning and evening, so it is called the mound." The monarch guards the country when he goes out, and follows the monarch if there is someone else who guards him. Following outside is called Fujun, and guarding inside is called prison, which is an ancient system. ”
In short, the king's eldest son could not lead the army, and he was away from the army, which was prone to accidents. Once a certain prince is arranged by the lord to lead the army as a general and goes out to fight, it basically means that he has no chance to take the throne.
The prison army is okay, it belongs to the "Fu Army" that Gongzi can assume, it is only a temporary dispatch, and the prison army does not interfere in military affairs, only supervises, avoiding the embarrassment of quarrels and asking for instructions.
"It's too early, the future has changed, everything is unknown, and the only way to do it is now. Besides, it's not all bad, get along with Fusu, you can look at his words and see his shape, and figure out what kind of son he is......"
After making up his mind, at night, Heifu was about to carry a bottle of wine and go to talk to Li Xin, who was the only friend among his colleagues and generals, but unexpectedly, the confessor also came to inform him that the emperor summoned him to meet him......
Heifu hurriedly followed the confessor, and after entering, Qin Shi Huang was still the same, looking at the music that could never be finished, but from the heavy bamboo slips in the past, it became a light piece of paper - the emperor allowed the local paper to be used together, but the documents written to the court must be paper! As for those who don't use paper, do you want to tire His Majesty the Emperor?
This is also the biggest motivation for the implementation of paper at the local level.
I thought that Qin Shi Huang would talk about letting Gongzi Fusu go to the Northland Army to supervise the army, but as soon as he met him, he asked Heifu an extremely sharp question!
Qin Shi Huang raised his eyes, nodded at a sentence in the song, and frowned:
"All the counties offered their knitted sweaters. Longxi sweater is called 'weaving leather', and Shangjun and Daibei sweater are called 'felt clothing'. However, the sweater offered by the Wu clan in Beidi County is called 'Heng Yuanxiang', and the Wu clan said that it was your name, what does this mean? ”
……
Heifu decided that he would never play around with memes again.
But now, he can only start to make up the meaning of these three words on the spot, and it is easy to prevaricate.
"Constant, long; The source, the spring is also; The auspicious, the blessed also, from the sound of Sheyang. These three words are combined, which means that the sweater is clean and tasteless like the source of living water, which can be worn for a long time without rotting, and the clothes are blessed and ......"
Heifu also admires himself, a lot of nonsense, it sounds a little reasonable!
Although Qin Shi Huang will be suspicious, he is only regarded as a humble man, although he studied diligently, but he often came out with some slang and crooked sentences that the upper class people could not understand, and he did not think it was strange. Then I talked about the war materials prepared by the counties.
Unlike in the past, this time in the north, the sweater has become a new strategic reserve, Wu Shilu described, the land of the raccoon dog, the place where the yin is accumulated, the wood bark is three inches, the ice is six feet thick, you must eat meat and drink cheese, and put on the thick fur of birds and beasts, in order to keep out the cold. It's okay for Chinese people to go in spring and summer, but if they winter in the local area and can't adapt to the water and soil, I'm afraid they will die......
Although the scheduled date for the start of the war is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the territory to be attacked in this battle is vast, and if the war cannot be ended in one go, it may be delayed until next year.
Fur fur is too expensive, so sweaters become the best choice. Nowadays, not only Longxi County, the rest of the border counties have introduced Qiang sheep, the use of Shaofu to develop technology, began to raise shearing and weaving, last year, Longxi produced 3,000 pieces, 1,000 pieces of North Real Estate, 500 pieces of each in the county and Daibei.
Production tripled from the previous year, but Qin Shi Huang still felt that it was too slow, so the counties were desperately trying to find ways to increase production.
Longxi County relied on the nearest to Huangzhong, the origin of Qiang sheep, or robbed or bought, constantly expanding the scale, and even buying wool from the Qiang people.
Needless to say, under Heifu's suggestion, Wu Shilu began to regard wool spinning as his own pillar industry in the future, and bought Qiang sheep into the county. Heifu's wife, Ye Shi, suggested that the majority of women should be mobilized, and the Rong people would raise sheep and the Xia women would weave cloth, forming a cycle of mutual benefit between Huarong and Rong.
The three counties of Shangjun and Daibei started late and were far away from the production area, so they started to make up their minds on the breed of sheep. In Meng Tian's recital, it is said that Ban Yi, a large shepherd who immigrated from Chu to Yanmen County, led dozens of shepherd boys under his command to try to cross the slender Qiang sheep with the local rough wool sheep, hoping to give birth to a breed suitable for shearing and weaving......
All this is to fulfill Qin Shi Huang's request: next year, the output of sweaters in each county will be doubled! Even so, less than one-tenth of the 150,000 soldiers of the Northern Expedition could wear sweaters, let alone the people......
In addition to winter clothes to protect against the cold, there is also food, Qin Shi Huang has asked one of the Nine Qings to prepare military rations, and when it comes to the spring of next year, it will be able to raise about 300,000 people to eat a year's supply: five million stones!
"The military rations of Longxi County can be prepared locally, and the military rations of the northern army can be collected from Taiyuan and Hedong, and the northern and upper counties will be supplied by Guanzhong."
The benefits of fighting near Guanzhong will be apparent, and when the late spring and early summer come, the 15,000 people handed over to Beidi County will escort military rations and prisoners from the fertile Guanzhong, from Zheng Guoqu and other granaries, and travel all the way to Beidi County to report for duty. They were led by the county lieutenant, the wanderer, and the pavilion chief, just like many years ago, when Heifu took An Lu's little brothers on the journey......
300,000 people were recruited in the moraine, and what was the return of the following year?
The Heffs also did not know whether it would be good or bad for them to push this war in advance.
"I only hope that this battle can pacify the northern frontier in one fell swoop, so that the Qin people can take deep roots in Henan and Beibai, and create a ...... that plugs the Central Plains."
At this time, I only heard Qin Shi Huang suddenly talk about another thing.
"I have heard that the hardships of the prophet's harvest are easy."
"Ran Gongzi Wang Sun, have you not looked at a handful of soil, a seedling, I don't know how many months now, when to harvest, and know the rest of the world?"
"The same is true for military affairs, if you only hear the good news thousands of miles away, and you don't try to go out with the army, you hear the golden drum shaking the sky, and you see the wolf smoke rolling, how can you know the difficulty of the army, and the necessity of chasing the Huns in the north of the Ming Dynasty?"
"These are all things that Fusu needs to know."
Heifu immediately cheered up, he knew that the drama meat summoned by the emperor this time was coming!
