Chapter 206: It's Ruthless Enough!
Obviously, this is a man with a story.
The border pass is bitterly cold, thinking that in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Turkic war, how many soldiers did not fall under the enemy's sword, but were buried in the ice and snow for a long time.
"......" the Holy Queen also seemed to remember something, and her face was a little bleak. She was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "After all, there are too few things such as fur to keep out the cold, and now there is cotton to replace it, which is really my blessing for the Great Zhou!" If my soldiers in the northern frontier of the Great Zhou can wear this thing, why are they afraid of the wind and snow in the northern region? Baihe, I ask you, how is this thing grown? What is the yield? β
"This ...... To be honest, I don't know what the output is. β
The holy queen turned out to be the holy queen, and once again asked the point. However, this time, she asked Bai He down, because this thing was also in the experimental planting, and it was also spawned with the Crossing Gift Pack, how do you know what the real yield is? Now in front of the Holy Queen, it is naturally difficult to say too much.
However, he remembered that cotton in his previous life was drought-loving, and he thought that it would be the same in this world, and it should be easy to plant......
Well, it should ...... Right?
Suddenly I thought about it, Mommy! We have a crossing gift package in hand, and the dead can also be resurrected, I'm afraid of him!
So he said very decisively: "However, cotton likes drought, but it is easy to survive." My Great Zhou Longyou and the northern part of Guanzhong have always been sparsely populated, the area is arid, and it is difficult to produce grain, and even some places cannot grow grain at all, and it is just right to grow cotton, if we can grow a large number of them in Longyou......"
"Hmm."
The Holy Queen nodded, her slender Danfeng eyes flashed with wisdom, and she obviously had an idea. Halfway through, she suddenly waved her hand and said to the guard: "Commander Gao, go down, try on clothes today, and remember your work." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Commander Gao was about to retreat, when Bai He suddenly saw that the back of his hand was wrapped in gauze, and there was faint blood stains, so he hurriedly shouted: "Wait!" β
"What do you command?"
In terms of grade, this high commander is even higher than Bai He, but at this time, he called out respectfully, and naturally thanked him for offering such a treasure as cotton.
"What's going on in Bai Qing's family?" The Holy Queen also asked.
Bai He said with a smile: "Keeping out the cold is only one of the functions of cotton, it also has another function, I think Your Majesty must like it very much." Senior Commander Gao, let me see your hand? β
"The small knife wound was the result of the discussion with my colleagues the day before yesterday, and it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and I didn't worry about it." The High Commander excused himself.
"Show him." The Holy Queen wanted to see what other tricks Baihe wanted to do, so she commanded.
"Yes."
Commander Gao stretched out his hand, Bai He untied the gauze and looked at it, and found that it was a wound about ten centimeters long, which had already become inflamed and suppurated, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, thinking: There are countless elixirs in the Great Zhou Palace, how can you, as a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, not even be able to use gold sore medicine? It's clear that you want to die to save face and suffer sin! But it's just right...... This senior commander, I'm really sorry to bother you to make a cameo appearance for me to intern with an injury!
"Suzaku-sama, wine."
He asked Xiao Mian to pass the unfinished liquor, picked up some clean cotton and twisted it into cotton balls, and then began to clean the wound.
These cotton have actually been picked for a while, and they are stored so casually, clean is not necessarily clean, but the wine must be spirits! A tingling pain scraped the wound, and the high commander continued to play the true character of a tough guy, and his face did not change, but the pus and blood at the wound disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the bright red flesh was revealed, and the blood flowed out again, Bai He stopped, and then spread cotton gauze to bandage it, and finally tied it in a random knot, and it was over!
He is a big man, and his movements are naturally not as gentle as those of professional nurses, and after a rough toss, it is naturally a lot of hardship, but the eyes of the high commander gradually brightened.
"Cotton is highly absorbent and can stop bleeding, and liquor is strong and can be disinfected...... Don't ask me what disinfection is, and don't ask me why liquor can be disinfected, in short, if there is an injury, then just do it, and at a critical time, it is very likely to save your life, but remember, you must use spirits. If you put it on the battlefield......"
Bai He didn't finish his words, but just silently shrugged his shoulders to the Holy Queen and the others, meaning you know.
Call! Suck! Call! Suck! β¦β¦
Heavy breathing had already sounded in the hall, especially the group of generals on the right side of the throne, who were staring at Bai He without blinking...... Phew, staring at the bag of cotton in front of him and the wine jar in his hand, the heat in his eyes made even the sun die of shame.
Understand!
They must know better than anyone else!
Only those who have fought in war will understand that the place where the most people die on the battlefield is never under the sword, but after the sword.
Medicine in these years is not as miraculous as the Chinese legend suggests, at least not on the battlefield. Therefore, after each battle, there are not too many soldiers who deteriorate until they die because their injuries are not treated in time, and there are many more soldiers who die directly under the sword! What's even more cruel is that people who die directly can still have a good time, while those who die from worsening injuries can watch themselves die step by step, which is the real Infernal Hell.
Cotton can keep out the cold and has saved the lives of countless soldiers, but I never thought that the combination of cotton and spirits would still have this use. Where is this just "saving a life", it is clearly ......
"If saving someone's life is really better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, today's Lord Bai is afraid that he has already attained Buddhahood, right?!" The generals thought to themselves.
"White Inspector...... Lord White...... No, White Brother! Great grace is not grateful, Lou is here...... Thousands of soldiers on behalf of the Great Zhou are grateful...... Your great kindness! Lou Shide held Bai He's hand tightly, choking up with excitement. As the prime minister of the dynasty, his status is so respectful, but he has changed several titles in a row, from birth to respect to cordiality, which fully shows how the status of Baihe in his mind has undergone at this moment.
"Lou Xiang's words are serious, serving the Holy Queen is a matter of humble duty, and he can't afford to be so grateful to Lou Xiang."
Bai He likes to pretend to be forced, but he doesn't like to be called a brother by an old man, he quietly pumped his hand, but not only could he not move, but it became tighter and tighter, Prime Minister Lou's hand was like an iron tong, so he had to smile bitterly, "Xiang Lou, if you don't let go, I'm afraid my hand will be scrapped!" β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the old man is really ...... Hahahaha, a momentary gaffe, don't be surprised by Brother Bai! β
Lou Shide laughed, let go of his hand without being embarrassed at all, and then turned his head and said to the Holy Queen with an excited face: "Your Majesty, you have also seen it!" This cotton can not only keep warm, but also stop bleeding, which is really a rare wonder! In addition, there is liquor to clean the wound, which is really ...... Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! With this strange thing in hand, the period when my Great Zhou Iron Cavalry set foot on Goryeo and opened up territory for His Majesty is just around the corner! β
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The ministers also chanted in unison.
In the cheers, the Holy Queen looked at Baihe very seriously, and the slender Danfeng's eyes were full of appreciation. She originally summoned Baihe to Beijing because of a book, but now it seems that the new Jinling inspector recommended by Di Renjie brought her far more surprises than that book!
It wasn't until the cries stopped that she looked away, looked at the ministers and asked, "Is it just Goryeo?" β
The ministers were stunned for a moment, but the Holy Queen ignored it, she just turned her head and smiled at Bai He and said, "After talking about Goryeo, then I have to talk about Turkic." Since the Bai Qing family has a plan to recover Goryeo, they must also have a plan to deal with the Turks. If you don't bother the two masters, you might as well share your opinion? β
Recovered......
Haha, the word reconquest is used so wonderfully, I love it!
Bai He almost laughed, didn't the stick often say that the entire universe was theirs, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the Holy Queen, even they themselves were Da Zhou's. However, since he talked about the Turks, of course he also had a plan, after all, the historical forum in his previous life was not in vain, so he said unceremonously: "For the Turks, the minister really has some ideas, I just hope that Your Majesty will not blame the minister for talking nonsense." β
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"To deal with the Turks, the minister has three strategies, at least to protect me from the boundless worries of the Great Zhou for a hundred years!" Bai He looked confident, anyway, it's bragging, I have pardoned you for your innocence, who is afraid of whom?
"I want to hear about it!" The Holy Queen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What is the good plan of the White Inspector, please come quickly!" The ministers also urged one after another, and even their breathing became heavy, and only then did they understand the meaning of the words of the Holy Queen.
Yes, the expansion of the territory is limited to Goryeo?
Of course not!
Goryeo is just the beginning, at best it is just a pawn and a test stone, and the Turks are the point!
There are Turks in the north, Dongying on the sea, Nanzhao in the south, Tubo in the west, and even more west than the Western Regionsβall of these are waiting for the iron hooves of the Great Zhou to trample, to ravage, and to conquer!
At this moment, no one will despise Baihe for half a cent, whether it is cotton or liquor, or even the strange strategy of "leaving land but not people", it is worthy of their highest respect.
Under the gaze of thirst for knowledge, Bai He made an unfathomable expression, and said slowly: "The best policy is very simple, there are only four words: reduce the number of households and destroy the household!" β
"Reducing the number of households and destroying households?! β¦β¦ Hiss! β
The sound of pumping, and the sound of pumping.
The murderous four words suddenly made all the ministers gasp in unison, thinking: This white inspector is really a ruthless person! Just now, I was thinking about swallowing Goryeo without spitting out bones, and when I turned my head, I started the Turkic idea again. Reducing the number of households is a poisonous plan when you hear it!
However, after the drawing, Prime Minister Lou Shide was the first to shake his head and ask: "But I don't know how to reduce this Ding and how to destroy this household?" β
"It's simple. Under the method of subtracting Ding, the second generation of the family of 100 households is reduced to 50 households, that is, half, two generations and then half, and so on. Not more than five generations, the family has no more children, although there is no axe to add to the body, but it is better than the axe, which is the connotation of subtracting Ding. Bai He smiled faintly.
Hiss......
Finally, it was the ministers' turn to weaken their teeth.
Bai He's faint smile, falling in their eyes, was almost like a prehistoric beast, such a simple method of reducing ding, such a vicious method of reducing ding! It's ruthless enough!
