The backyard was very lively, and when Chen Xu went in after arranging, Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan, Xia Zijin, Yu Wuya, and several maids in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were all vying to see this rare big pearl in the world.

"Engong, is this the auspicious rui that the emperor got in Wuzhong at the beginning?" Yu Wuya held up the big pearl and sighed at the sun.

"Yes, but the emperor rewarded me today!" Chen Xu smiled and sat down on a rocking chair in the courtyard and nodded.

"The emperor is really good to Engong, such a big pearl that is rare in the world, I'm afraid that there will never be a second one in the world!" Yu Wuya smacked his lips and sighed.

"It's just a pearl, and you can't eat it as a meal, so give it to you and give it to the person you like!" Chen Xu glanced at Xia Zijin, who was standing beside Yu Wuya, and said.

However, it was obvious that Yu Wuya, a straight man of steel, did not understand women, and shouted in his mouth: "I don't like anyone, I just like Engong's food...... Whew~"

Before Yu Wuya finished speaking, he was pinched by Xia Zijin on the soft flesh around his waist, and he turned it slightly, and suddenly jumped up in pain, turned around and looked at Xia Zijin angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

"Humph!" Xia Zijin stretched out his slender fingers and pinched Yu Wuya's ears, and his beautiful eyes widened: "Why don't you like me, why do you still say you want to marry me?" ”

Yu Wuya was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xia Zijin blankly for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "Zijin don't be annoyed, I didn't think about it......"

"Since you don't have me in your heart, I'll go back to the mountain!" Xia Zijin let go and turned around and walked out, and he had already walked to the gate of the courtyard in a few steps between the swaying of his green skirt.

"Zijin wait, how could I not like you, I just forgot......" Yu Wuya hurriedly stuffed the pearl in Shui's soft hand and chased after him, and soon heard a few ping-pong sounds outside, accompanied by a few muffled snorts, and after a while, he saw Yu Wuya with a blue nose and swollen face holding Xia Zijin's little hand and laughing extremely excitedly.

"Wronged!" Chen Xu couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling that he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Sneer~" Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan and a few maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh at the flower branches.

"Sister-in-law, I want to sew this pearl on my hat and bring it to school, but my brother won't let me, you can help me talk about it......" Xing'er still refused to give up this opportunity to show off, pulling the water and gently shaking her arm.

Shui was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly, Xing'er went to see Ying Shiyan again, Ying Shiyan was a little unbearable, and when she was about to speak, Chen Xu sat up with a wry smile and said to a maid: "Qiu Xiang go and get the bag I put in the study drawer!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Qiu Xiang turned around and left, and soon took a golden silk bag from the study, Chen Xu took it and opened it, poured out two finger-sized pink pearls from it and said: "The big black pearl can't be used, these two pink ones are more beautiful, one for Xing'er and Yu Ji, you take it to find the weaver girl and sew it on the hat!" ”

"yes, thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoxu!"

The two girls raised their hands one by one and ran out of the courtyard with cheers, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Is the husband really generous?" Meng Wan pouted with some taste and looked at the courtyard gate where the two girls disappeared.

"Wan'er, come here!" Chen Xu took the big black pearl from Shui Qing's hand and stuffed it into Meng Wan's hand and said, "This big pearl is for you, are you satisfied?" ”

"Really?" Meng Wan instantly became happy.

Chen Xu nodded, his gaze fell on her chest very casually, and the two bulges that looked slightly bulging couldn't help but jump his eyebrows.

A year has passed, this girl's figure has grown a lot taller, her posture is also very beautiful, and she has a beautiful posture standing in front of her, but this favorite place of Chen Xu has not changed much as always.

"Husband~" Feeling Chen Xu's lost gaze, Meng Wan's cheeks instantly blushed, holding the pearl in her mouth, and her eyes began to redden.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Chen Xu hurriedly took Meng Wan in his arms and comforted him.

"Husband, I can't ...... if they don't grow up," Meng Wangong wiped tears in Chen Xu's arms.

Eh, Chen Xu is also full of black lines, although this is the back garden, it is still extremely embarrassing to say this kind of thing in person, so she had to whisper in her ear: "Is it okay for you to come to bed at night?" ”

"Really?" Meng Wan burst into tears and laughed.

"Well, don't lose this pearl when you put it away, otherwise the emperor will ask me and I won't be able to pay it!"

"Don't worry, husband, I'll go and put it away!" Meng Wan happily got up and went back to her room.

All kinds of gentle and beautiful, only small breasts, alas, looking at Meng Wan's back, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this must be the sin of his father-in-law, next time I have to discuss it with him to make some compensation.

After marrying and raising for three years, Chen Xu felt that he would not grow to the point of satisfying himself if he waited any longer, so it was better to eat it as soon as possible.

After holding his daughter and accompanying his three wives to play in the back garden for half an hour, Xiao He, Liu Bang, Zhou Bo, Chen Pingyingbu and others arrived one after another, and Fan Xu's dog meat was almost ready, so a group of people gathered excitedly and enthusiastically in the restaurant to set up a wine banquet, and sat around a common stove table in the countryside in later generations and began to eat meat and drink.

Dog meat Chen Xu has not eaten much in later generations, mainly because the meat structure and dietary customs are different, but since the crossing, eating dog meat is an extremely common and commonplace phenomenon, as one of the six animals, dog meat is the main source of meat at present, compared to cattle and horses, which can participate in the labor of large livestock, dogs and sheep account for the majority of the table, chickens and ducks are also valuable meat, and pork is only eaten by civilians, mainly before pigs learn the method of castration breeding, in fact, it is a semi-domesticated wild boar, The meat is coarse and not as tasty as other meats.

However, at present, after the continuous promotion of the Agricultural College and the publicity in the newspapers, castrated piglets have begun to be popularized, at least the pigs bred near Xianyang must be castrated, not only fast but also delicate and tender, coupled with the promotion of pork dishes in Qingheyuan, eating pork has also begun to be recognized by the public secretary class.

However, it is known that dog meat rolls three times, and the gods cannot stand steadily, and the rich aroma of dog meat and pork cannot be compared at all.

A group of people around the stove did not see outside, gulping meat and drinking a big glass, and chatting about some news they had heard, but the most talked about was Xiang's rebellion in Wuzhong, although this matter had just been spread to Xianyang for only an hour or so, but now it has been boiling with the civil and military officials of the scattered dynasty in Xianyang.

"What do you think of the Xiang rebellion?" Chen Xu asked while eating.

"A handful of anti-thieves, the blades and armor are not complete, they are all rabble, why be afraid, Hou Ye has no worries, or hurry up to eat meat and drink wine!" Yingbu pouted.

"General Ying is right, Xiang is afraid that he has lived enough, and he is indeed domineering in Wuzhong, but there is no time for the situation, this is the way to die!" Xiao He shook his head.

"That's true, Daqin is strong and strong at the moment, the Chu State brought a million chariots and ten thousand vehicles, and there are fierce generals like Xiang Yan who are not able to resist it, not to mention that now there are only a few thousand people, and the Xiang family's rebellion is like a tiger's whiskers, and it will inevitably be exterminated by the emperor with a thunderbolt!" Liu Bang also nodded in agreement.

Chen Ping held a dog's leg and gnawed violently until he was half full before raising his head, "Although the Xiang clan is weak, the Jiangdong counties are the hinterland of the old Chu after all, and I heard that the Chu people there are not obedient, so I thought that this time I am afraid it will take some troubles!" ”

"Why did Brother Chen Ping say this?" Xiao He and Liu Bang put down their chopsticks together.

Although the two of them are not bad, there is still no way to compare with Chen Ping, a big man who has been mixed in Xianyang for several years, and his knowledge is completely different, and Chen Ping is the number one adviser under Liu Bang in his later life, and many strange tricks are from Chen Ping's hands, Zhang Liang sighs to himself.

"A certain painting for you to see, let's see!" Chen Ping was as casual as he was in his own home in Chen Xu's house, grabbed a napkin and wiped his hands a few times, then stood up and walked to a blackboard next to him, and after erasing the graffiti of Xing'er and Yu Ji on it, he quickly drew a simple map of Jiangdong with chalk, which looked very familiar.

"Hou Ye and everyone, please see, this is Wuzhong, the east is the sea, the north is the river, the south is Zhejiang, the west is the five lakes, after crossing Zhejiang is the boundary of central Fujian, here are all mountains......" Chen Ping finished analyzing the terrain and terrain in a few clicks, and then pointed to Wuzhong and said, "Wuzhong is actually a closed place, surrounded by a dense water network, which is not suitable for large-scale chariots and horses to fight. The perennial war boats are complete, but after I destroyed Chu in Great Qin, because I was worried that the Chu people would gather troops to attack and disturb the counties, I ordered all the large warships to be destroyed, leaving only the small boats of the people, which were not more than ten people, and were not suitable for rapid transportation of soldiers, so the Xiang clan rebelled in Wuzhong, as long as the attack on a county town gained a firm foothold, if the Huiji county guard could not quickly exterminate it, the news of the Xiang clan would inevitably spread to the surrounding counties, so that someone in Chu would inevitably gather bandits to respond, And once the surrounding counties are in chaos, the whole south will be chaotic, even if the imperial court sends a large army to conquest, it can only be gnawed slowly step by step, because there is no boat, just a big river will give people a headache, under the slow gnawing of the imperial court, the bandits in the southeast counties will inevitably flee to the southeast and gather, and finally form several bandits, once the scale of tens of thousands of people is gathered, it will become a big trouble, because the imperial court can not quickly mobilize tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress......"

"Brother Chen, have you forgotten that there are still 200,000 troops in the land of Wuling?" Xiao He couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, I heard that His Majesty has ordered the Wuling guards to mobilize troops and horses to the east to encircle the Xiang rebels, under the advance of the Wuling army, the Xiang family will eventually be surrounded and annihilated in Huiji County, Huiji is difficult to move on all sides, this is a blessed land they can rely on, but in fact, it is also a dead land...... Liu Bang also nodded and spoke.

"Hehe, Ping didn't say that the Xiang family would succeed, he just said that it would take more twists and turns, and more trouble will inevitably cost more people's power and money and food, which will definitely be very damaging to Daqin, who has just settled down, what Xiang does will not succeed, but it will shake the hearts of the people, Ping is sighing that the reform process of the Hou Ye may drag on for a long time!" Chen Ping dropped the chalk and returned to the chair to sit down and continue to gnaw on the dog's legs.

"Do you have a good plan to quickly put down the Xiang rebellion?" Chen Xu frowned slightly.

Chen Ping's analysis was much more thoughtful than he thought, especially the places in the south of the Yangtze River all relied on boats to transport food and grass for soldiers, which was a great burden, and Chen Xu definitely did not expect that there were no large boats and boats available in Daqin at the moment, which would inevitably reduce the speed of exterminating the rebels a lot, even if it was to build a wooden platoon, it would still take a lot of people and time, and the safety of the wooden platoon and the boat could not be compared at all.

"In fact, there is one of the most important difficulties, this time His Majesty mobilized the soldiers of the three counties of the Central Plains, these soldiers are not familiar with the terrain and even the climate in the south, when the general invaded Chu for more than a year, constantly confused and tired Chu army, and finally took advantage of the Chu army to retreat before launching a surprise attack, when Chu had a capital city and a king, there was no way to escape but a hard battle, resulting in the defeat of the Chu army in a war can only be destroyed, but the Xiang rebels are different, they do not have a capital and no king, once they are not right, they can escape, and they will inevitably loot towns and villages along the way, causing great damage and panic among the people, not to mention that the Lingnan lands have not been completely recovered, if the Xiang clan escapes into the mountains of Minyue, it will probably take more time to exterminate it......" Chen Ping said while eating.

The emperor did not care about the bandits, nor was he worried that they would not succeed, but he simply analyzed the many certain and uncertain factors of the banditry from the military aspect.

Chen Xu stared at the analysis map drawn by Chen Ping for a long time, put down the wine glass, and said to a maid: "Go to the study and get the map of the Great Qin Land!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The two maids retreated, and soon took a huge map of Daqin and unfolded it in front of everyone.

This is a map of the whole country that is similar to that of later generations, and even Taiwan and Hainan Island and other places are marked, looking at this colorful detailed map that is completely different from the one used by Daqin at the moment, everyone is gossiping and asking a few words, Chen Xu also roughly explained and then looked at Huiji and Min Zhong after being silent for a long time and said: "Secretary Chen's analysis is very detailed, and it is also very consistent with the current situation, it seems that it is indeed not easy for Your Majesty to exterminate the rebels within three months, if the rebels flee into the Minyue Mountains, it may take several years to succeed, Although this is insignificant to Great Qin, as long as this rebel army is not destroyed for a day, Great Qin will remain in turmoil......"

"Master Hou is rightly worried!" Chen Ping, Xiao He, and Liu Bang all nodded, while Zhou Bo and Yingbu were immersed in a pot of dog meat, seemingly not caring about the military operation at all.

Chen Xu pinched his chin, feeling that even if the emperor sent Wang Ben, this victory would still have a big question mark, and the variables were relatively large.

"Report ~ Master Hou, Your Majesty asks you to go to the military department to discuss the emergency military situation!" The doorman hurried into the dining room with a messenger. ()
