The black clouds were as heavy as lead, and as far as the eye could see, the clouds seemed to have touched the reckless wasteland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two stopped, looked at each other and smiled, but in that smile, there was a little more exquisite and scrutinizing taste.

A gust of north wind blew, rolling up patches of withered grass. Huang Fuxian spoke: "The old man wants to ask the prince, now that the Three Kingdoms are in power, what do you think of the general trend of the world in the future?" ”

Qin Lei said slowly: "After a long time, it will be together." ”

Huang Fuxian was not surprised by Qin Lei's answer, and asked with a smile: "Forgive the old man for being rude, can the prince be more detailed?" ”

Qin Lei nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and the two continued to walk towards the camp. After pondering for a moment, Qin Lei said as he walked: "The reason why Gu said this is because with the fifty years at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in the past two hundred and fifty years, the land of Shenzhou has not stopped for a moment, and all countries have been exhausted by this lengthy hundred years of war, and they dare not let go of the tight strings at any time, and the pressure accumulated in the past two hundred years is enough to make every country full of disadvantages and difficulties. ”

Huang Fuxian obviously listened to it, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know where the illness of each of the three kingdoms comes from?" ”

Qin Lei looked to the east with a smile and said softly: "Let's talk about Eastern Qi first, the clan lords in this country are the most powerful, and the emperor's words have never been very effective," he said and chuckled: "It is even more useless than our Great Qin." This kind of self-deprecation Emperor Fu obviously couldn't echo it, so he had to laugh dryly in response.

Fortunately, Qin Lei just sighed, and the topic immediately turned back to Dongqi, "Although the major families used the method of alliance with each other to restrain the imperial power, they fought endlessly and refused to give an inch in matters related to their vital interests. ”

Seeing that Huang Fu was a little ignorant, Qin Lei explained softly, "When I was in the Qi Kingdom, I saw that their families and clans all had a mentality that was enough to destroy the country-'The big granary of the Qi State belongs to the emperor, and we are just the big rats in this warehouse, if we don't take up more grain for ourselves, other rats will also snatch it away.'" ’”

Huangfu Xian twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It's not been a day or two since the old man has been dealing with Eastern Qi, it has always been strange, the products of Qi are much richer and richer than my Great Qin, how can it make people's livelihood wither and riots everywhere?" If it weren't for Yum's blameless martial arts, Shangguan Prime Minister's long-sleeved and good dancing, I'm afraid I would have to make a mess. He said with a smile: "Now as soon as the prince says it, the old decay will suddenly become old." It turns out that the wealth is in the hands of the big clan, and Baixin is still in difficulty. ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "In fact, if the reforms implemented by Prime Minister Shangguan can be implemented, the contradictions between all parties can be eased, and the people can take a breath and eat, but it will still allow the Qi State to continue." He gloated a little and said: "But the big clan of the Qi country is too powerful, I'm afraid it will give up halfway." ”

Huang Fuxian nodded and asked, "What about Nan Chu?" ”

Qin Lei paused for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Among our three kingdoms, the life of Chu is actually the most comfortable, with the Yangtze River as a barrier, and a thousand miles of water towns as granaries, and the high-ranking lords believe in the way of Huang Lao, pursuing the wind of Wei and Jin, and the burden of the people is not as heavy as our two countries, so compared to the Qi country, the Chu country is really rich." ”

Huang Fu asked playfully: "According to the prince's meaning, if it weren't for the princes of Chu to compete for succession, it would be possible to gain the upper hand in the competition between the three kingdoms?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "General Huangfu said that you are joking, you have learned from the past and the present, which time did you see the unification of China not from north to south, from west to east?" ”

Huang Fuxian really didn't think about this problem, and said in a deep voice: "It's too far away to be a letter history, just look at it from the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xing in Xiqi, the former Qin Ba in Xianyang, Han Sheng in Hanzhong, Wei Jinding in Xuchang, Zhou Sui strong in Chang'an, and Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan." After going through the past dynasties roughly, the old general was surprised: "This is really the case, it will not be such a coincidence, does the prince know the reason?" ”

Qin Lei lightly spit out eight words and said: "Born in sorrow and died in peace." He smiled and explained: "Take the former Qin, which is quite similar to today, as an example, when the former Qi was rich in salt and iron, and the former Chu occupied half of the country, and said that the two richest of the seven kingdoms were still destroyed by the first emperor. Why? Is it the fault of the rich? ”

Instead of asking Huang Fuxian to answer this question, Qin Lei continued: "There is nothing wrong with being rich, what is wrong is that being small and rich is peaceful, so you lose your enterprising spirit, or ambition." People who have no ambition in troubled times are not qualified to have the last laugh. ”

Huangfu Xian solemnly bowed and arched his hand: "The words of the prince today, Ling Xian is like an empowerment, and after he goes back, he will hang the eight words of Yasheng as a family motto on the sect, and the generations will be vigilant. Said and said with a smile: "Please also ask the prince to inscribe." ”

Qin Lei nodded and smiled and helped him up, and the two of them said a few words, and suddenly fell silent. They all know that they still have to go around and go back to the Qin State, which is the one that will determine the future relationship between the two families.

It was Huang Fuxian who broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "The old minister is happy and convinced by the comments of the prince on Qi and Chu, I don't know what the prince ......thinks of our Great Qin."

Qin Lei said in his heart, the drama meat is finally here. He breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "The problem of Great Qin is even more serious, the scholars of the Qi State are united with the outside world, and the Chu State is still peaceful, and it has not yet reached the point of losing the country." And I, Daqin......" only heard him continue in a deep voice: "It may be destroyed at any time, and the country will be destroyed." ”

Huang Fuxian pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "The Li family has become a big trend, and sooner or later there will be a showdown with Your Majesty, and then there will be another bloody civil war." ”

Qin Lei nodded and said bitterly: "This is exactly what the two countries of Qi and Chu want, don't look at their current myriad of things and can't extricate themselves." But as long as China's civil war starts, there will be no contradictions, and the scene 17 years ago will definitely be repeated. As he spoke, he turned his head to Huang Fuxian, looked at him with those deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "And the seventeen years of internal friction have already made us strong and strong, so what can we do to repel the alliance of the two countries again?" ”

Huangfu Xian, who has experienced the ups and downs of Great Qin in the past few decades, knows best that if he takes the current Eight Forbidden Army against their predecessors seventeen years ago, he is afraid that he will be killed to the point that there is not a single hair left.

It's not that the training is lax, it's not that the treatment is harsh. It's that the soldiers can't find their target, not only Huang Fuxian, not only the Eighth Army, and even all the armies of Great Qin, they don't know why they are fighting and why they are dying.

'Conquering the north and the south and unifying all directions', the goal pursued by generations of Great Qin soldiers, seemed so vague and distant in this era. A pessimistic mood permeated the forbidden army, and these soldiers, who were most closely related to the court, were full of infighting and waste, and they could not see where the hope of reunification was.

Thinking of this, Huang Fu Dan looked at Qin Lei deeply and said in a low voice: "What should I do?" "Three simple words, but it is a common question of everyone in Daqin.

"What should I do?" Qin Lei repeated softly, and resolutely looked at Huang Fudan and said: "The Qin State only needs one voice, and the Great Qin army only needs one will!" Work together to go to the national disaster! This is clear enough, power is concentrated in one person, dictatorship.

Huangfu Xian was not surprised that Qin Lei said such words, and asked with an unchanged face: "If this is the case, is there still room for us family lords to survive?" ”

Qin Lei laughed and said: "Uncle Huangfu, standing in the house, you can only see a square inch of land, standing in the wilderness can see a few miles away, if you choose a cloudless day, climb the Luoyan Pagoda of Bao'en Temple, you can even see dozens of miles away." What do you say this is for? ”

Huangfu Xian pondered: "It should be standing taller, and there are fewer obstacles in front of you, so you can see farther." ”

Qin Lei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing wrong at all, everyone has been fighting for me all these years, and their eyes have always focused on such a big place as Great Qin, forgetting that there are still so many places in Shenzhou waiting for us to unify, and even more forgetting that this world is even more vast, enough for all of us to gallop and conquer!" With the blazing fire in his eyes, Qin Lei opened his arms and said in a low and seductive voice: "When we are no longer crowded in this small central capital, when we are rich in the world, when the place where the sun shines is our territory, all your doubts will be dissipated." ”

Huang Fuxian's breathing became obviously heavy, and he said tentatively: "Is the prince saying that as long as our country is big enough and strong enough, everyone's requirements can be met?" ”

Qin Lei bowed his head firmly and said, "Yes, the Lone King thinks that the best way to resolve the conflict is to open up enough space to accommodate everyone's ambitions!" ”

Huang Fu looked at Qin Lei with stunned eyes, he didn't know that this young man's mind was so broad and his ambitions were so ambitious. Even the unification of the world that generations have dreamed of is only a phased goal for him, not the end of his dream.

If Qin Lei had said this a year ago, Huang Fuxian would have laughed at it as a young man's nonsense, but now Qin Lei is a king who is qualified enough to challenge all the powerful powers of Great Qin, and such an ambition can become a real goal, not an illusion.

As long as he adds his own help, Huang Fuxian said silently in his heart.

The reason why he came to see Qin Lei in person was to see the way for his family. Seeing that the rain in the Great Qin Mountains is coming, the Huangfu family has to think about the future, they used to be the life and death enemies of the Li family, and they are not in the same place, if the Li family wins in this battle, they will naturally not have their good fruits to eat.

And after all, the Huangfu family is the culprit who forced several emperors' brothers to death seventeen years ago, and Emperor Zhaowu is naturally free to rely on them now, so he is afraid that in the future, when the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, he will pick up this little braid and press it to the ground, and it is also expected to destroy the house.

Therefore, although the Huangfu family is still standing by the side of Emperor Zhaowu, they hope to have a more secure way to ensure the continuation and even revival of the family. And Qin Lei, the king of Longwei County, is a target they are considering, this highness has already controlled the land of the two southern provinces at a young age, and has the capital to start a business. Moreover, Shen Wei, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is his own uncle, and Xu Ji, the backstage boss of the Shenwu Army and the Duke of Suguo, is also inextricably linked to the south, and he will definitely sell him face at a critical moment.

At present, as long as this highness can rebuild the Qin clan's disciples Shunshun and restore them to an ordinary level, he will really be of great importance. If the Huangfu family is added again, it can even become a force equal to the Taiwei Mansion, completely changing the current pattern of Great Qin.

The two did not talk further, but a tacit understanding had been established: the 'Five Armies Military Exercise' in the autumn of the coming year was a pass, as long as Qin Lei's soldiers could show the corresponding strength and prove that they were not inferior to the forbidden army, Huang Fuxian would naturally stand by his side. And if the soldiers are as vulnerable as chickens and dogs, the Huangfu family and the Tiger Ben Army will not quarrel with him, after all, it is not the one who hugs the thighs and hugs the roots.

Not long after the Tiger Ben Army came, a battalion of the Second Army of the Iron Armor Shenwu also arrived, and the total number of people was more than 10,000 people, and the Second Army of the Broken Eagle Yang surrounded it.

Another day passed, and the little captain saw that he still couldn't find a way to cross the yellow mud soup, and the grain and grass he carried was also exhausted, and the new supplies were intercepted by Qin Lei and his people, and he couldn't send them in, so he couldn't stay any longer, and took advantage of the night to retreat with the broken army.

Captain Luo saw that the Broken Army had run away, so he and Captain Che went to the Chinese army under the Fifth Highness to apologize, stating that he was only acting on orders and did not want to be an enemy of the prince. Qin Lei didn't embarrass them, got out of the way, and let them go.

The Jingshan camp was still soaking in the yellow mud soup, and Qin Lei had no place to greet a few old generals of Huangfu who came to reinforce, so he could only express his gratitude again and again, and sent them away.

After all these visitors from all over the world left, Qin Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Qin Wei: "Our old nest has finally been saved, let's go back." ”

How do you know that Qin Wei said with a sad face: "Lord Wang, how can we flow over the yellow mud soup?" ”

Qin Lei scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "How did I forget this stubble." Then he took Qin Wei and a few people out of the camp and went to the yellow mud soup in front of Jingshan to check.

Qin Ba, who was on guard on the mountain, saw that the prince was coming, and hurriedly informed Le Buyi. Le Buyi also hurriedly ran to the front of the mountain, looking at Qin Lei from a distance of more than half a mile wide yellow mud soup.

"Ask him, how do you clean up these yellow mud soups?" After the two smiled and said hello, Qin Lei commanded in a deep voice.

Bo Xian Saiyang, who had the loudest voice beside him, put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly to Le Buyi: "What are you doing with this muddy soup? ”

Le Buyi smiled and said to Qin Ba: "Tell the other side that this is not mud soup, this is the brick mud for burning bricks." ”

Qin Ba also put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "This is not mud soup, this is brick mud!" ”

Qin Lei smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Le really does everything, such a broken yellow mud soup will come in handy." Then he asked Bo Xianyang to ask Le Buyi what they could do.

Le Buyi listened to it and said with a smile: "I also trouble the prince to think of draining the stagnant water in the mud soup, otherwise it will be too thin and will not be able to make bricks." ”

According to his instructions, Qin Lei ordered people to dig a diversion channel south of the mud pond to divert the yellow muddy water back to the lower reaches of the Jingshui River.

Before starting, Qin Lei also held a mobilization meeting for the guards and soldiers, describing in detail the prospects of Jingshan City after the construction of the city in the future, and encouraged thousands of strong young men to boil their blood, eager to build Naxiong City at once.

Coupled with the soldiers from various provinces who came to report one after another, Qin Lei had more than 4,000 strong laborers under his command, and it only took more than a day to dig a diversion canal two miles long and seven feet wide.

Looking at the gap in the drainage, Le Buyi asked the people on both sides to make some square wooden molds at the same time, these wooden molds are large and small, ranging from three feet to one foot square, if it weren't for Qin Lei's great attention to weights and measures, and the army is equipped with a uniform size of tape measures and rulers, and the molds made are afraid to be strange.

After doing this, another day passed, and the water in the mud pond was basically drained, leaving only a pond of yellow mud.

Le Buyi asked the people on both sides to take out the yellow mud in the pond and beat it repeatedly, until all the water in the yellow mud fell away, and the whole formed a tight ball of noodles, which is the effect that can only be achieved by high-quality loess.

Next, you can enter the first step of brick making, 'debilitating'. This requires the cooperation of two people, one person firmly fixes the wooden mold, and the other person lifts a ball of brick mud weighing more than ten pounds high, and then throws it into the wooden mold with force. The quality of the brick depends on the strength of the mud, the greater the force, the denser the blank falls, and the better the quality of the brick. If the fall force is too small, the inside of the brick will become a sponge full of cavities, which cannot withstand the pressure and is a waste brick. This is a hard work, ordinary people can't fall one or two hundred billets, they will definitely be exhausted, even if these young men are full of strength, they can drop at most two hundred pieces a day.

Fortunately, there were many people, and on the first day alone, Qin Lei threw out more than 100,000 bricks here, which made him so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Just as he was happy, Qin Lei suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Wei beside him, "What time is the beginning of today?" ”
