Chapter 34: Admonition

The greenhouse hall of Changle Palace. Ouyang Xuan crossed his hands in front of his clothes, bowed down and stood in the hall, Liu Qi kept pacing back and forth. When I came back from the national sacrifice, I didn't say a word, and half an hour has passed. Ouyang Xuan was also guessing Liu Qi's purpose for finding himself, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of the problem. Is there something going on at the border? This is not Ouyang Xuan's turn, there are also captains and generals on it.

"Hu, I received an urgent letter of 800 here yesterday, you can take it and take a look." After speaking, he walked to a shelf with a simple slip, took out a purple bag and packed it, which seemed to be very heavy, and handed it to Ouyang Xuan. Unplug the sealed red ling, untie the yellow rope, and there is a sealed bamboo slip and a black metal brand inside, and a blue stone with a blue glow, with a pattern on it, which is very peculiar.

When I opened the book, it read: In the middle of August of the year of Wuzi, the bones of Murowei were obtained and the valley of Wu'an County. Get this card and stone, the survivor said: Broken can live forever, and the broken person in this world is only God Xuan. Words are done. The golden stone hits the skull, and the survivor dies. Death by burning. There is a huge pit around the valley, the stone is as black as carbon, and there is melting. Son Peng Zu dedicated to his father and the emperor, and solved it to show the thousand years of my Han family.

Ouyang Xuan took out the stone and looked at it carefully, it was different from the stone he got from the meteorite, the temperature was very high, the blue was light, and the light was a little thief, which was different from the warm fluorescence he had made. On one side of the metal plaque is engraved a map of the world's landmass, with more than a dozen dots. According to the map in Ouyang Xuan's mind, there is a five-dimensional space gate near the Altai Mountains itself, there is the Bermuda Triangle, there is Easter Island, and there is one in the United Kingdom, there are four in South America, one in North America, and one at the mouth of the Nile River in Africa. One in South Africa and one near Kenya. There is actually a place in Qinghai, and Ouyang Xuan has been to that location, which is the place where the Duliba stone dish was found in legend, but when I went there, a cave was found, and there were rocks everywhere. On the back of the plaque there are some text-like symbols, as well as the shape of a flying saucer and a later astronaut (the above pattern is not made up by me, but is a mural seen in a cliff cave near the Serenga River in Mongolia near Erdenet). There is no technical condition to verify the age, and it is about 200 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, that is, the Mobei Summer Royal Court mentioned later in the book, which is said to be the ancestral land of the Xiongnu and the equivalent of Longcheng).

When he looked at the sign again, Ouyang Xuan had been holding the stone, feeling a trace of pain, and then looking at the palm holding the stone, it was already a little black. Hurry up and put the stone in the cloth bag. The place where the palm of the hand touched the stone appeared purple-black, and there was a slight pain. "Your Majesty, this thing is ominous. It needs to be dealt with urgently", Ouyang Xuan put his hand in front of Liu Qi. Ouyang Xuan only now understood why the bag that was originally red was actually purple now. "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that this thing be sealed in a thick lead box so that it does not hurt people." "Quasi-play. Come on". Deacon Huang Men entered the hall and bowed his head and stood: "Seal this thing in a lead box according to the words of the waiter." in the arsenal. ”。 After giving the order, he handed the bag to the Yellow Gate. Turning around, he asked Ouyang Xuan, "Is there a solution to this card?" ”。“ Some eyebrows, just want to live a long life, but longevity is difficult and ascend to the sky." "Oh? Where did it come from".

"Your Majesty, this thing is made by people from outside the heavens. The places depicted in the map are thousands of miles apart, and the vast ocean separates them, and it will take decades for them to go all over. It's not easy to be trapped by alien races. The minister suggested that it be discarded. Your Majesty only needs to go to the village to live for a while every year, and the ministers will prolong their lives if they are carefully conditioned."

"Well, just according to what Hu Hou said. In addition, I received a letter from Nanyue and Dongou asking for help, and I wanted to lead the troops to deter the Minyue Kingdom, and if I could collect it, I wanted to set up the king of Yue, Minyue, and Lingnan. I wonder if you would like to go? ”。

"Your Majesty, the ministers have objections, the current national strength has just recovered from the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the war of labor and people will definitely affect the fortunes of the country. In addition, the land of Lingnan Minyue is mountainous and the river network is dense, which is not conducive to cavalry warfare. It is necessary to train mountain divisions to cope with the terrain, build inland river warships, and train sailors to cope with the water potential. The teacher is nameless, and it is not good for people. Now send troops to deter, and those who understand the war are easy to break".

"What Hu Hou said is reasonable, compared to Tai Wei, it is much stronger. Anyway, I'm going to tune it out. Now that the Xiongnu have many harassers at the border pass, I want to send Yulin Shi Chang to forge and train the border guards, can there be any other strategy? ”。

"Your Majesty, I think it's possible. Just give them the right to increase the combat power of the border guards. When the national strength was at its peak, the minister thought that he could destroy the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, pacify the south of the country, and fight the north of Liao.

"The recovery of national strength is not easy to say, the kings are self-reliant, and there are few people who enter the court, and they are all left by the country." Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now we should respect the law and do nothing with the people and the country. Legislating rules and regulations, sending envoys to inspect and reciprocate, and live with people's livelihood. First the villain, then the gentleman. When the army is prosperous, the royal power will be divided, collected in the court, and returned to the people".

"Go back and write a detailed note and submit it directly." "No!" Step aside! ”。

Out of the greenhouse hall, Ouyang Xuan went to the Immortal Hall to visit the queen mother again, and then returned to the Chang'an mansion. Overnight, he wrote a note according to the Tui En Order. The Law of the Covenant, a statute restricting the power of the king, was compiled, which detailed the powers of the kings, the composition and powers of the inspectors, and the mechanism for inspection. In the morning, he met Liu Qi directly in front of him, and presented the song and the "Law of the Covenant" to the front of the frame, and then drove back to the villa.

Behind the mountain beam on the east side of the villa is a flat land in a river valley, and Ouyang Xuan chose this place for his personal military camp. I came back from Chang'an and came directly to this barracks. Ouyang Xuan expanded his personal soldiers to the rated 2,000 people, each with a pair of stainless steel crossbow arrows, a steel saber forged by a thousand hammers, and a hand shield with hanging arms. There are also ten grenades for one person, with a grooved cast iron shell, which is not much less powerful than that of later generations. Now the craftsmen's alloys are not up to the mark, otherwise Ouyang Xuan really wants to make a semi-automatic rifle out. Now that there is gunpowder for making gun I bullets, it is not difficult to produce sub-I bullets, but it has to be all done by hand, just the metal alloy and alloy firing pin of the gun body. Only a simple pistol and a rifle were made, but only a few bullets were fired, and either the barrel cracked or the firing pin was bent. People have been sent to Dayu County, Jiujiang County to explore tungsten manganese ore. Now that there is electricity and a lathe, Ouyang Xuan can draw the shape and size of each part of the gun with his eyes closed, as long as the alloy passes the level, this is not a problem. Ouyang Xuan didn't plan to use this weapon, he just wanted to use it for himself and his own soldiers.

When these pro-soldiers were selected, they were all selected by Wei Juan among the southern and northern armies and the peasant households of the fiefdom, and after thousands of selections, they found 1,500 people plus the original 500 guards, and together they gathered 2,000 pro-soldiers, which belonged to the direct command of the general of the chariot cavalry. Recommended the main father Hong to serve as the general of the cavalry, a thousand stones, silver seal and blue ribbon. Originally, I wanted to recommend Zhu Shantou as a Zhonglang, but Zhu Shantou didn't want to be an official, so it was just that. The other officials were appointed by Liu Qi, and there were government offices and pro-army military camps. The horses were all purchased from Dawan by Nie hired tea to buy roads, and there were 5,000 horses, including 1,000 stallions, which were raised in the fiefdom horse farm. Each person has two horses, and there are four-wheeled vehicles with a thousand rides, drawn by pack horses. After inspecting the barracks, a new training task was assigned, and the main father Honghe was in charge of the training. These pro-soldier Ouyang Xuan planned to train according to the training methods of the special forces of later generations, and trained in all aspects of reconnaissance, fighting, rapid response, shorthand, and knowledge. Every soldier has a monthly salary, and the title is a knight, which is stipulated in the Han system, and the military service of the general of the chariot and cavalry belongs to the military service in the border area, and the family can be exempted from taxes and labor.

Before Ouyang Xuan walked out of the barracks, he met the prime minister head-on, although he was a county magistrate, he had a lot of power, and he could influence the life and death of a thorough abolition. "The county lord is here, what is the matter?" Haha, after waiting for Wuzi, it's time to be eighteen, and I haven't married yet. You need to pay an extra five calculations (poll tax, one for one person, five for unmarried people of appropriate age, one for 120 yuan.) According to the increase of the knight, it is eight thousand yuan to the level of Ouyang Xuan. Those who have knights and those who are of the right age do not pay the calculation. Only those who are of the right age to pay are unmarried and unmarried. The servants are paid by the Lord's house). In addition, there are 100 people in the government who need to pay 5 calculations and 1,800 people who need to pay regular calculations. I don't know if the prince and the prince can be exempted from the edict? ”。“ I haven't obtained it", Ouyang Xuan didn't have any idea about this money, and said casually. "In this way, if there is no knight, they still need to pay the calculation, and the unmarried person still needs to pay five calculations according to the knight." "Money can be negotiated with the Nie family, and there is no good fate here." "Well, it's nature. This official has come here with His Majesty's will to investigate the matter of the population and acres. peace talks on the autumn shooting, which was delayed due to the war in the Seven Kingdoms." "Oh, please". Called to engage in Zhonglang, with the county order into the office for liquidation.

I returned to the villa and had a brief lunch, and only took the white wolf brothers and sisters to the mountains for a walk. I got some wild things and came back, and let the cook take care of them. I went to teach the academy and taught the children lessons. When Ouyang Xuan was not there, the children were helping the craftsmen in the workshop, or going to the laboratory in the courtyard to demonstrate repeatedly according to the knowledge they had been taught, or they were learning on their own in the classroom. All personnel arrangements are in charge of Gong Lianghui, this is a temporary task given by Ouyang Xuan, and when Ouyang Xuan came to the courtyard today, there were two students who usually learn faster with a part of them learning pinyin and alphabet. There was also a miasma in the laboratory, and Ouyang Xuan was not angry at all about them, but was relieved, which showed that these children had a strong spirit of exploration. After teaching for more than half a year, these children are also hardworking, after all, they are very proud of being the heirs of Hu. There are also some children in the courtyard * field has guards responsible for fighting training. It was only after checking the various places that the guards gathered the children together to continue the lesson.

The year of Wuzi passed in Ouyang Xuan's daily busyness, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the spring of the year of Jichou, and it was still the fourth year of Emperor Jing before October. In the spring of this year, Ouyang Xuan expanded corn planting by 1,000 acres. For the villagers who are willing to plant new grain, Ouyang Xuan first gives them a year's worth of grain before letting them plant. Ouyang Xuan explained the planting method door-to-door, and led the guards to inspect the fields. Perhaps the reason for the origin of these seeds and the seeds soaked in the golden stone water is that they grow quite well, and in the summer, the seedlings are growing well. Potatoes are still blistered and sprouted in their own ten acres of fields.

At the beginning of April, Liu Qi came to live in Zhongnan Villa as promised, along with Queen Bo and Concubine Li, as well as his eldest son Liu Rong. Although Liu Qi ignored Empress Bo, because of the etiquette system, he had to take it with him wherever he went, otherwise Zong Zheng would not be able to pass that level, let alone Empress Dowager Dou. In the past six months, Ouyang Xuan, in addition to having contacts with Sima Xiangru and the Minister of the country, has always kept a certain distance from the princes of the court, basically has nothing to do, and lives a life close to seclusion. Although he led the military position of the general of the chariot cavalry, due to the presence of the general, Ouyang Xuan was only responsible for the training and ceremonial transportation of the Yulin Army.

After checking Liu Qi again, he found that Liu Qi was in very good health now, and it would not be a problem to live sixty or seventy years old. Usually drink tea with gold and stone water, this stay is five days, every morning Ouyang Xuan checked Liu Qi's physical condition, day by day better and better. "Your Majesty, you are already in good health today, and you can go into battle and gallop." "Well, I also feel that I have taken the medicine of the Wait, and my body is much better. I saw that the servants and apprentices practiced the moves in the morning, and they were very casual. I don't know how? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the Tai Chi method taught by the master of the Chen family, and long-term practice can strengthen the body and prolong life. It is also deeply in line with the natural method of Taoism". "Okay, if you have nothing to do recently, I'll teach me this Tai Chi method." After speaking, Liu Qi summoned the Yellow Gate Order, ordered him to clear the surrounding people, and sent a message to delay his return to Beijing for half a month. This means to stay here.
