Yu'er's love calmed down slightly, and Guan Zhuofan said, "Let's talk about your brother...... His name is ...... Well, Suda. - What did he do in Zhuangzi?

Yu'er replied: "Back to Lord Belle, it is to be a 'half-cent village head'." ”

The imperial village of the Qing Dynasty was divided into five grades, and "half a cent" was the smallest one, and "half a cent" was nine hectares. However, this is only "customized", in fact, less than nine hectares are called "half a point", and some Zhuangzi are only two or three hectares. The "half-cent Zhuangtou" is in charge of about five or six strong men, responsible for the work and production of the Zhuangzi, and pays grain and interest according to the regulations.

It's not a good job. If the head of the village does not pay enough food, he will be whipped; Those who are in strict circumstances will be deprived of their duties as the head of the village and rushed to hoe and become a strong man. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were countless disadvantages of Huangzhuang, and the production capacity had fallen to the bottom, and it was not uncommon for the head of the village to be whipped or even punished as a strong man.

Zhuangtou is really not "a promising career".

Guan Zhuofan said: "Our Huangzhuang, if it is not effectively rectified, this village is about no fun to do." Well, how is Suda's body? Can you endure hardship? ”

Yu'er hurriedly said: "My brother can endure hardship!" The body is also good! He can shoot a bow with a stone! ”

The calculation of bow strength in ancient China has different standards in the past dynasties, and the narrator likes to exaggerate, and it is not easy to study in detail. However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number jù was more accurate. The pulling force of a one-stone bow is almost equivalent to the eighty-pound compound bow of later generations, which is quite powerful.

Guan Zhuofan asked himself, even if Ben Baylor could pull away the bow with one stone, he couldn't stabilize it, and he didn't know where the arrow would go. And what Yu'er said in her mouth, "can open a stone bow". Of course, it means: can skillfully draw a bow and release arrows. Collect freely.

He was surprised. "Oh, it's not easy. Did Suda ever serve as a soldier? ”

Yu'er said: "Back to Lord Belle, this is not true. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs once sent my brother to follow the prince for a while, and it was at that time that he learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows. ”

Hearing the words "Xiongyong Gong", Guan Zhuofan thought for a while and said: "Xiongyong Gongshizi." The name is Ruiyu, right? ”

Yu'er said: "Yes, Lord Belle has a really good memory. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: I can't have a bad memory. This Ruiyu, the original time and space, later changed his name to Fu Zhen and married Princess Rong'an Gulun - the daughter of Concubine Li, nicknamed Liniu.

Hehe, this time and space, this flower-like wife is not yours.

The conversation returned to Suda. Guan Zhuofan said: "This brother of yours has the strength to do it. Whether it's comprehension or not, it seems to be a material for the ranks. The next time your mother visits the palace, you tell the family to see if Suda is willing to be a soldier? If you want, I will talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask him to come to Xuanjun. Of course, he had never been a soldier, so he had to start as a big soldier. ”

Yu'er was full of smiles, like a flower. She stood up, gave Guan Zhuofan a deep blessing, straightened up and said, "It must be a thousand willing, Yu'er first thanked Lord Baylor for her brother!" My brother has always been a god to Lord Baylor, and if he can throw himself under Lord Baylor, he will really wake up laughing in his dreams! ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said, "Your family, is your surname Xilin Jueluo?" ”

"Yes."

"There is a sentence, you brought it for me: Although most of the Xilin Jueluo clan were born in Baoyi, but in the two hundred years of this dynasty, the old Xilin family, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been produced? Ewenduan, that is, Ortai, was born as a slave in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, went through the three dynasties of Shikang, Yong, and Qian, and became a scholar, a minister of military aircraft, and a minister of the guard! Zhanghanlin Academy, plus the title of Taifu, Feng Xiang Qinbo, behind him into the Xian Liang Temple, worthy of enjoying the Taimiao! So, don't always think about 'coating' or 'coating', as long as you are willing to endure hardships, work hard, and work hard, you will always have a piece of your sky on your head! ”

Yu'er heard her blood boiling and said loudly: "Yes! The slave maid leads Lord Belle's training for Suda! ”

Yu'er returned to the palace the next day, and it was already early in time. Cixi had just taken a nap, Li Lianying was combing her hair, and Yu'er entered the dormitory to "pay the order".

Cixi sat on the brocade stool and did not turn her head, but saw Yu'er in the big mirror with a spring breeze, so she said: "Look at this appearance, the little hooves have been wandering outside the palace for most of the day, but it is comfortable enough." ”

Yu'er saluted Cixi and said with a smile: "This is not the grace of the master? The slave maid went out on this trip, which can be regarded as an eye-opener! ”

Cixi said: "Eye-opening? What, is there any new trick in Baylor House? ”

Yu'er said: "Back to the master, there are new tricks, but not in Baylor Mansion, but on our way to Tianjin." ”

Cixi was slightly stunned and said, "Oh, is it? Tell me about it. ”

Yu'er said: "Back to the master, Guan Beile said, go to Tianjin 'labor army', 'military parade', we will bring the master's sedan chair, but 'prepare but not use'; Beijing to Tianjin, it is a thoroughfare, Guan Beile said, please take the master in a carriage -- this carriage is not the carriage we usually sit in, but Guan Beile specially ordered from England, and it is exactly the same as the Queen of England. ”

Cixi became interested and said, "Such a big effort? What is the difference between this carriage and our carriage? ”

Yu'er said: "Back to the master, our carriage is two wheels; The carriage used by the Queen of England was four-wheeled. ”

Cixi was stunned for a moment and said, "Four wheels? So...... How does the car turn? ”

Yu'er said: "This slave also asked Guan Baylor. He said that the car is equipped with a 'steering mechanism', which rotates as expected and is very flexible. However, what exactly this 'turning mechanism' is, the slave maid does not understand. ”

It is not that there are no four-wheeled vehicles in ancient China, but they are rare, or there are "special vehicles" for special purposes, or they have never been on the drawings. In short, until modern times, there were no four-wheeled vehicles that could be used on a large scale. There are probably two reasons for this, one is that the technical requirements of four-wheeled vehicles are far more complex than those of two-wheeled vehicles, and the other is that four-wheeled vehicles have higher requirements for road conditions, and most areas of China have never built roads in the modern sense.

Cixi said: "There are many tricks of this foreign devil. Well, the car is equipped with four wheels, and this car is much more than two wheels. ”

Yu'er said: "Master Shengming! In this way, it will be much more comfortable for the master to stay inside. Also, the window of this car is very different from ours. This car, front and back, left and right are windows, all inlaid with large pieces of glass, open the curtains, the inside of the car, bright! ”

Cixi sighed "oops" and said with a smile: "This is a novelty!" ”

Li Lianying reacted quickly, and said with a funny smile: "On this cold day, the master is sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside, it is clear, but there is no wind at all, it is really proper!" ”

Cixi thought about it, and sure enough! couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really good in winter, but what should I do in summer?" Will it be boring? ”

Yu'er smiled: "Back to the master, no, Guan Beile said, the windows are equipped with handles, and the glass can be 'shaken' down and hidden in the body." ”

Cixi smiled: "I don't know how this foreign devil's brain melon seeds were born? I really think about things! ”

Yu'er said with great interest: "Back to the master, it's more than that!" The four corners of this car, front, rear, left, right, and left, were equipped with 'gas lamps' -- not our lanterns, and the slaves and maids did not know what they were. Guan Beile said that the lamp was shrouded in a glass cover, not afraid of wind and rain, and was lit, and the big night was as bright as day. ”

Cixi smiled and said, "This queen of England is really blessed!" ”

Li Lianying said: "What the master said is, however, Guan Beile has filial piety to the master, and we will not lose to the Queen of England!" ”

Hearing this, Cixi felt very comfortable in her heart, and she couldn't take off the smile on her face, and said to Yu'er: "Have you seen this car?" ”

Yu'er said with a smile: "Back to the master, not yet." Guan Beile said that the car has been transported from England to Tianjin, and it is being transported to Beijing. When the car entered Beijing, I begged the master to reward the slave and maid with a grace, and the slave and maid went to see it clearly, and came back to report to the master! ”

Cixi smiled and said, "You will climb along the pole." Okay, I'll let you out of the palace one more time. Well, when the time comes, Xiao Lizi will also go for a trip. ”
