Wu County. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether a city is prosperous or not depends not only on how many people live there, how many taxes are collected, and how many buildings are opened, but also the traffic and people's hearts can be measured.
defeated the Qin army several times, and everyone in the world knew that Huiji had become a den of thieves, but there was an endless stream of people who came to defect.
The scribe sitting in the ox cart shook his head, first read a notice at the gate of the city, and if he was in a better mood, he would read the content of the list to everyone and gain a grateful gaze, and then Shi Shiran entered the city to start a new career, without exception, the first thing these guys did was to rush to buy paper, and the servants and coachmen went into battle together, and they were so crowded that their crowns and hats were crooked, and the etiquette was lost......
In order to prevent the followers, the Great Qin Ming Decree will prohibit anyone from going, so the inspection of the festival is much stricter, but how can it be stopped?
People want to live!
To tell the truth, the people are nostalgic for their homeland, and few want to leave on their own initiative, but when they are faced with laborers leaving their hometowns to serve hard labor, and women and children at home are difficult to pay taxes, a foothold that is difficult for Daqin to reach has become their only choice.
Compared with those civil and military men who have a little means, they are more and easier to be arrested, and they are frightened and frightened along the way, and they are tortured in every way to get to the place, and many people are crying bitterly while worshipping the emperor and the queen of heaven, and then they will support each other and enter the city with anxiety.
In any case, this city has rarely disappointed, there are those who can't wait to splash ink when they get the paper, there are those who are still dreaming when they get the farm tools and return to the field, there are those who blink their eyes and say that they want to see your major general, and discuss the sale of paper to him, and there are even all kinds of chickens and dogs who want to be guests......
For a time, this place and Great Qin were like two kingdoms, one was majestic and the other was vibrant.
"It's really unreasonable, if it weren't for the fat man's fast, the old man would have killed him!"
Zhang Liang helped Fan Zeng to sit down cautiously, made another cup of tea, and said: "Why is Fan Lao angry with a businessman, the angry person hurts his liver......"
Fan Zeng rolled his eyes, splashed the tea and gestured to pour a little wine, and said, "The old man has found out, these fat people are not a good person!" Long He went and there was no news, Fan Xu dared to complain that I didn't help Yu boy, even those businessmen are mostly obsessed, isn't that the case?! ”
Zhang Liang knew that he was missing the afterlife, so he didn't say anything, and poured a cup of tea again and replied: "Old Fan, the doctor told you to avoid alcohol, so let's drink some tea." ”
"No, you don't! How can you kill without wine when the sword comes out, bring a bowl of wine, and the old man will go and behead the profiteer! ”
Zhang Liangxin said how generous, and then asked, "What did the merchant say just now?" ”
"He's going to buy a ballista! It just doesn't make sense! ”
"Ballista?!"
Fan Zeng gritted his teeth: "Otherwise? How could the old man be so angry! Why didn't this person go to seek skin with the tiger and discuss the Qin crossbow with the emperor?! Let's see if he can come back alive! ”
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment and replied: "In this way, it's not all bad." ”
How did Fan Zeng not know what he meant? He snorted angrily: "It is indeed beneficial to have a lively heart, but the tone of that person's voice is too infuriating!" ”
Zhang Liang looked at Fan Zeng's dress, his face was hunched over, and he estimated that the other party didn't know who Fan Lao was, and he was inadvertently offended, so he saluted: "Since this is the case, why don't you hand over this matter to the juniors to deal with?" ”
"Okay, you lure him back, and the old man will give him some hardship!"
“……”
It wasn't like this before, it's obviously an almost strict hot elder, why is it that the longer his teeth go, the more nonsense he becomes?
While slandering, Zhang Liang walked out.
"Come back!"
"What's the matter with the seniors?"
"Don't forget to bring some wine!"
"Fan Lao, your illness ......"
Fan Zeng shook out a pile of papers: "Entrusted by Old Ghost Wei, your old man has to do his best, if there is no wine, I can't think of anything!" ”
“……”
……
……
Xingtian Dance is dry, and fierce ambition is always there.
At this moment, Xiang Ji's ambition has not changed, but he has thrown the war halberd aside and has no time to take care of it......
Busy with government affairs? How is it possible, with Xiao He and Chen Ying and others, what makes him the most happy is that he can completely get rid of those "trivial things", and he can also turn around and take the initiative to share them?
In addition, other things such as agriculture, commerce, craftsmen, and books also failed to arouse the interest of Xiang Ji, so what is he doing now?
In the practice of martial arts.
It is said that it is a practice of martial arts, the method is a bit strange, in the inner hall, Xiang Ji stretched forward with his bare feet and arms, and wrapped a few circles of hemp rope around the outside of his arm armor, each holding a huge stone lock hanging in the air, and he didn't move!
The flat fists were full of green tendons, but they were steady, and I don't know how long they persisted, and the beads of sweat that dripped from time to time made his feet never dry, and soaked through his clothes.
He was the only one in the whole room, and he could be heard clearly when he breathed in, and judging from the degree of deformation of the arm armor, it was not the first time that Xiang Ji had done this.
Maybe he was tired, maybe he wanted to change his tricks, but after a while, Xiang Ji's posture with both hands remained unchanged, and he walked around the room, swaying step by step, bumping step by step, no matter how the stone lock moved, the two arms were as solid as a rock as steel.
After walking a few more steps, Xiang Ji began to squat, and when he fell together, Shi Suo always left the ground when he was not touched, and practiced for a long time, but his breathing became heavier and heavier, and the whole person was like being fished out of water, and the big beads of sweat fell to the ground and shattered, and were turned into footprints......
As the commander of an army, there should be too many military affairs to deal with, and as the lord of a place, there should be too many government affairs to be attentive, but he put them all aside and was obsessed with this.
"Squeak—"
The door opened, Xiang Ji did not look back, still carrying out his penance, his body was as immobile as a mountain and his arms were as martial as an ape, at this moment, his whole body and mind were in the palm of his hand.
"Big ——!"
With a laughter as crisp as a yellow oriole, Xiang Ji only felt that his hands were heavier, and before the figure could sit down, he gently bent his arm to support the comer, and continued to practice martial arts as if nothing happened.
"Big man, I'm talking to you, why don't you reply to me?"
Xiang Ji didn't move, he stabilized his body as before, and gasped for a moment before he said to the person on his arm: "Don't mess around, be careful of hurting yourself." ”
"Cut, it's really boring, why do you talk like my big brother."
Xiang Ji took a deep breath: "There is nothing wrong with worrying about the sub-period, Xiang is careless, and it is indeed easy to hurt others." ”
"Only that time, and you didn't mean to ......"
Xiang Ji frowned: "Ah Yu, I always feel ...... It's just a matter of hiding your injuries from the child, how can you ......?"
As soon as the words fell, he was interrupted by Yu Yue: "What do you know, the eldest brother is kind on the surface, but he is the most stubborn in his bones, he has not allowed me to be with you since he was a child, if you know more...... Anyway, let's put it off a little longer, just wait. ”
"Xiang Mou stands ...... the sky"
"Okay, you go and say, by the way, you will also tell me about pinching me, and see if he will allow me to see you again in the future."
"I ...... I didn't expect ...... either."
Yu Yue waved her hand, her light body shook twice, and she chuckled: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, anyway, the eldest brother is not here, what are you worried about."
Hey, big man, show me how you're doing today. ”
When has he been interrupted continuously? At this time, he didn't care at all, and said in a soft voice: "Then you come down first, and I'll show you." ”
"No, you can treat me as a stone lock, it's not heavy anyway."
Xiang Ji squatted slowly when he heard this, the stone lock hit the ground, and a pair of jade feet also hit the ground, the girl just jumped away, he lost the patience to untie the rope, kicked the stone lock, and tore off the hemp rope in his hand, and then moved his wrist to look at it.
"Ah Yu, you put on a little coat."
"I don't want it, it's so hot......"
Xiang Ji hung his head: "Then I'll take a shower first." ”
After saying that, he spread out his palms, placed the two intact eggs on the table, and hurried away.
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to shout out to Xiang Ji to say something, but suddenly her face changed sharply, and she blushed up her cheeks, and she couldn't open her mouth anymore.
This big man, why is he sweating so much?
Maybe it's doomed in the dark, maybe it's because Yu Zhou is more curious under the rebellion that Yu Zhou is worried about, Yu Yue has a little hazy intimacy with Xiang Ji a long time ago, but unfortunately one doesn't understand, and the other doesn't understand.
The two who don't understand and have been stupid, one is thinking about Qin Fuchu, and the other is like practicing martial arts and becoming a wild girl, who knows for whom?
Maybe it's because there is too little real contact between the two, or maybe everyone's eyes are attracted by Yu Zhou Xiangran, and this haze has quietly hidden everyone, even themselves......
Until there was a chance that his tongue couldn't touch his teeth, Yu Zhou's words as an excuse came true - Xiang Ji accidentally injured the girl.
Is this worth it?
Ziqi has always spoken purposefully, he said that Meng Tian will go on a northern expedition, and the Qin army is really on a northern expedition, he said that Xiao He is a good helper, and he really doesn't have to worry about government affairs, he said......
In short, this sentence has come true, isn't it, Xiang is not intentional......
One was tearful in pain, the other was so guilty that she was in her throat, knowing that he was an unintentional mistake, and the girl's first thought was not how to heal her injury, but how to hide it from her brother......
That's right, in the story of his childhood, he was like a fierce beast, and when he grew up, the eldest brother said that this best friend was a brave warrior, but that kind of tone...... It's obviously a compliment, but there is a faint sense of being far away from him, why?
Yu Yue was confused, and she came to the conclusion that her brother didn't like to see her close to him.
At that time, Yu Yue couldn't be clear about his mind, just like he couldn't find a thread in the mess, and he instinctively didn't want to see him less in the future.
Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and it will be good to raise it for a few days, out of guilt, Xiang Ji began to visit every other day, and it was a mistake, I only saw Yu Zhou treat Xiang Ran's guy, stupidly told stories, and looked for some small things......
Whenever he was amused, he never knew that it was not those foreign objects that made her laugh at all, but the appearance of a tall man who forced himself to whisper, and it was difficult not to touch the girl's heart.
Knock open a crack, and the next thing is simply logical, the man will take a look after practicing martial arts, and the girl will smile back, which is very different from her usual grimace, and it is a sudden movement, and her body and mind are warm.
The first time the two had a disagreement, it was because of whether they wanted to tell Yu Zhou frankly.
In Xiang Ji's view, he grew up with his children and became brothers and sisters, what can't he say? He and Xiao Ran had a lot of trouble, didn't I object to it, can the same thing be treated differently? Besides, Xiang doesn't like sneaky feelings......
Yu Yue obviously knew her brother better, and under her persuasion, the two finally kept it a secret, and even their friends didn't say it.
Since then, Xiang Ji has seen Yu Zhou several times and stopped talking, until the war broke out, he no longer had to suffer this kind of torture.
Calm down, inadvertently hurting people is indeed a big problem, knowing his strength, but not controlling it well, Xiang Ji thought that he had found the root cause, and the two of them combined, and the halberd in their hands was replaced by eggs, which gradually became a new way of practicing martial arts......
But now, I can't hide it, and I don't want to hide it......
Since the last letter was interpreted by Ah Yu, the two people who have become more and more affectionate have actually been deceived by a little kid......
Promise!
What did the two girls, one big and one young, say before they smiled mysteriously, Xiang Ji didn't know, he just felt that it was too right to hand over political affairs to Xiao He and strategy to Zhang Liang, and his brain was indeed a little slow, right? Otherwise, how can you be deceived by a child......
Bubbles bubbled out of the water, a head was drilled, and by the coolness, Xiang Ji felt that the blood in his body had cooled down a lot, and he stepped out of the bathtub, he snorted indiscriminately, dressed in armor and crowned his hair, and then went out, and the whole person changed from a sweaty reckless man to a heroic young general.
"Hee...... I thought you were unconscious, my lord, have you figured out how to face my brother? ”
"The king? How can Da Chu come to be the king before he is established? And ......"
"It's really boring, isn't that what you call it majestic, I didn't say it was the King of Chu, you are the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain!"
Xiang Ji smiled dumbly, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly and said: "It's up to you, Ah Yu, I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore, don't be afraid, Xiang will definitely convince Zi Ji ...... if he bears it."
Yu Yue's face was a little unsightly: "Why?" Didn't you just say that it would be delayed a little longer, as long as the little goddess didn't say it, no one would know about it at all......
"In a few days, I will swear to go on the expedition, before that, Xiang wants to agree on this matter, and in the future, he will hate the territory, and he will have no regrets."
Yu Yue's face suddenly turned pale: "I want to ...... Expedition? ”
"Yes, the two military advisors said that the time has come, and they should swear to the Northern Expedition with the power of victory...... In short, before crossing the river, you must meet Ziji, so it is better to take the opportunity to make it clear to him. ”
After hearing these words, Yu Yue calmed down, raised his head and said: "This is a major military event that cannot be delayed, let's ask the little goddess for astrology." ”
"Okay, what I want to say is ......"
"I know, listen to you this time, not only that, but I also have to go to see the eldest brother together, if he doesn't agree...... I...... I ......"
"I" didn't know what to say for several times, and in a hurry, she blurted out: "I'll let Xiao Ran ignore him again!" ”
At this moment, the pride of the man who was about to step into the battlefield skyrocketed, and he replied with a long laugh: "If you don't agree, I will come to the door and rob you, see what he can do to me!" ”
