Chapter 107: The Eastern Capital Stays Behind
On the rocky ground by the river beach, several people were pointing around a horse.
The horse was majestic, and kept scraping its hooves on the ground, but it made a crisp and hard sound.
From time to time, the horse snorted and jumped its hooves back and forth, and if it had not been for the constant tugging of the reins, it would have run away.
"I don't dare ride anyway." Wei Renshi took a step back and said, "I haven't really ridden a horse yet, and the ground is full of large and small uneven stones, and I will definitely be thrown down when I go up." ”
"The old man must not be able to ride an old bone." Master Zhang also shook his head and said: "If you let the old man be twenty years younger, the old man will also have lowered a fierce horse and pulled a big bow, and he is not afraid at all." ”
Wei Renshi secretly despised it in his heart. Descend over a fierce horse, pull a big bow, impossible.
"In that case, let's try it!" Liu Yuxi took a step forward, and when he got to the horse, he was about to grab the saddle.
"Xiaolang, let's let the little one come." Dog Er behind Wei Renshi suddenly spoke.
Boss Shi, who was leading the horse, also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Xiaolang, let's let the second dog come." ”
"The little ones have joined the army, and it's okay to ride horses." Gou Er looked at Wei Renshi and the three of them, paused, and said, "How many of you ......?"
"Oh? That's good, that's good, this little brother is going to try. Before Wei Renshi could speak, Mr. Zhang immediately agreed for him.
Gou Er took the reins from Boss Shi's hand, stepped on the stirrups hard, and then turned over and went to the horse's back.
Then he reined in the horse, and with a clamp between his legs and stomach, the horse swooped out.
The ground on the rocky beach is uneven, large or small, slippery and sharp stones are everywhere. The second dog rode faster and faster, and disappeared after a while.
"Look around here, what a beautiful view if you can gather water." Wei Renshi looked around, pointed to the river in front of him and said.
"When you try this thing, you won't need to be oppressed by the state government anymore." Master Zhang said to him.
Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Since I have promised it, where is the reason to give up halfway." I must repair the embankment. ”
"Repairing the river embankment is not a trivial matter, it is enough to drag down your dream building." Mr. Zhang said.
"Not really." Wei Renshi said: "I can repair the river embankment and profit a lot. And the state government has promised that if I build the embankment, I can build some of my own things on the embankment. When the embankment is repaired, maybe they want to regret it, but they can't do it. ”
"How do you know they can't go back?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"Then it depends on whether I have the ability to do it, and whether I can be a noble when the time comes." Wei Renshi said with a smile.
Bachelor Zhang thought for a while and said, "It's the same." There is the merit of improving agricultural tools, and the method of damming and silting the land, the method of improving the wasteland, plus this horseshoe...... According to the old man, you may really be the youngest person since the founding of our dynasty and become a medalist with your own ability. ”
"I lend you good words." Wei Renshi said with a smile.
As he spoke, there was already a crisp muffled sound in the distance, like the impact of metal. I saw a black dot appear in the field of vision, and then it became bigger and bigger as it got closer.
Soon, Dog Er rode back to Wei Renshi and the three of them, pulled the reins of the horse, stopped, and jumped off the horse.
Without waiting for him to speak, Bachelor Zhang and Liu Yuxi bent over and came over.
Boss Shi hurriedly grabbed the horse, and Dog Er also hurriedly went over to hug the horse's legs to prevent the horse's legs from kicking the two of them.
"Sure enough!" Mr. Zhang's face was ecstatic, and Liu Yuxi was also excited.
"Qi Yu Xiaolang, the small one picks up gravel and gravel to run, but this horse's hooves are not worn at all!" Gou Er was also very excited, and said to Wei Renshi on the side.
"Yes, yes!" Mr. Zhang looked at the horse, his eyes were like an old bachelor seeing his little daughter-in-law, and he reached out and touched the horse.
"Boy, after you go back today, you will be well prepared, and you will go with me tomorrow to meet an old man." Master Zhang suddenly turned his head and said solemnly: "Take this horse." ”
"Dare to ask Mr. Zhang, who do you want to see?" Wei Renshi saw that he said solemnly, so he also put away his smile and asked solemnly.
"The eastern capital stays behind, and the eastern capital is the defense envoy Wang Hong." Mr. Zhang said.
"General Wang?!" When Boss Shi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "Xiaolang, I have heard that General Wang is powerful and wise, and he governs the army very strictly. I heard that when he was in the river back then, in order to strictly enforce military discipline and strictly prevent arrogant soldiers and fierce generals from doing stupid acts again, Wang Jin's troublemakers among the generals were punished on the spot and killed one by one. So the river was peaceful, and the arrogance and arrogance in the army were swept away. Xiao Lang, if General Wang comes forward, Xiao Lang can expect a great success! ”
Bachelor Zhang looked at Boss Shi with some surprise and said, "Your entourage has seen a lot. ”
"A good man who has retired from the army is not an entourage, a family." Wei Renshi smiled and said, "I have gained a lot of insight with Uncle Shi. ”
Even if these words made Boss Shi and the dog show gratitude. Bachelor Zhang said with a smile: "What he said is right, if you can invite General Wang tomorrow, you can look forward to the matter of being honored on duty." ”
Liu Yuxi frowned beside him and asked, "General Wang once protected His Majesty to Fengtian in the Battle of Jingyuan, and returned to Chang'an from Fengtian, which won His Majesty's trust. If General Wang spoke, then His Majesty would definitely reward Wei Langjun heavily. It's just that General Wang is now old, and I heard that he has ignored the affairs of the court for a long time. I wonder if I will run around for this? ”
Master Zhang shook his head and said: "General Wang stayed in the eastern capital, regardless of his old age and faintness, he successively opened more than 20 tuns in the eastern capital, raised good iron to build weapons, trained soldiers to prepare for war needs, and ordered Xiuming. It can be seen that it is still the heart of the country. The stakes are so high that he will not ignore them. ”
After that, Bachelor Zhang said to Wei Renshi again: "You must prepare for your life tomorrow, General Wang doesn't like people who are frivolous Meng Lang, and he doesn't like people who don't follow the rules." You're in front of you tomorrow, so be sure to be disciplined when you speak, remember! ”
Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Bachelor Zhang, don't worry, students can save it." ”
"This horse will stay in the Jixian Hall Academy, and when I go back, I will send a guard to guard the blacksmith shop." Master Zhang said: "This matter should not be revealed in the future, and you should not nail horseshoes to your own horses first." But I don't need to say more, I think you know it. ”
Wei Renshi nodded: "I don't know if General Wang is good?" Tomorrow I won't leave empty-handed. ”
"This thing has its own great benefits in the army, and it is the best gift." Mr. Zhang said.
Is it good for the military...... Wei Renshi's mind immediately flew up.
It is not easy to meet such a person who is deeply trusted by the emperor and has some weight in speaking in front of the emperor, and this opportunity must not be missed.
