A month and a half has passed in a blink of an eye, and the northern land has also reached the twilight of spring, when the grass grows, peanut trees are mixed, and warblers are flying wildly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The days were noticeably longer and much warmer. After a long time, you can still see the shy sunset, dyeing the western sky a magnificent purple red.

A long procession marched on the plain, and it turned out to be the soldiers of the Jingshan Army, who had finished a day's drill and were marching in line on the way back to the camp. When I looked closely, everyone's bodies and faces were dirty, and there were many people with blue noses and swollen faces, and even colored ones on their bodies.

But this tired team was surprisingly high-spirited, and everyone's eyes were looking straight ahead...... That tall and firm figure.

That was their prince, Qin Lei and Qin Yutian. Qin Lei's example is not just pretentious, he really leads the officers and soldiers to smell the chickens and dance every day. No matter what dangerous subject, it is always the first demonstration to be completed, and no one is allowed to replace it. No matter how boring and hard the training was, he always insisted on being by the soldiers' side...... If he asks someone to do a hundred palm presses, he will do at least one hundred and twenty-two, which is always no more, and there is no ambiguity.

The prince is like this, and the officers below can only go out and sacrifice their lives to accompany him. One by one, they took off their straight battle robes, changed into the same coarse cloth training clothes as the soldiers, and crawled on a field every day, touching spoons in a big pot to eat.

In addition to the great improvement in the physical fitness of officers. Imperceptibly, the relationship between the officers and soldiers became much closer, and the soldiers were willing to tell the officers about their affairs.

As for what is further gained, only time will tell. But at least for now, the officers and men are enjoying this intoxicating warmth.

And all this was brought by their prince, who was at the forefront of the ranks, and he stirred up the fighting spirit of the people with his deafening words; and by setting an example, leading the behavior of the people.

It can be said that in just one month, Qin Lei branded the Jingshan Army with his own brand, and ordered it to be forbidden. And this is what Yang Wenyu, Huangfu Zhanwen and others failed to do in nearly half a year. It's not that the commanders are too incompetent, it's that Qin Lei is too powerful...... After all, training soldiers is his old job. This also made a group of officers with eyes above the top admire the five-body throw, and no one dared to their tails anymore.

Among them, Qin Lei's eldest nephew Bo Xian Saiyang, even openly declared that his uncle had surpassed his father and became the person he admired the most. As long as he is fine, he will run to Qin Lei's side and stay, let him do whatever he wants, and he is the number one fan of the king of Longwei County.

Now that the training is over, it is a rare rest time of the day, and the officers and soldiers have relaxed a lot, and some bold soldiers have coaxed: "Bo Xian Yingzheng, why don't you sing another song to the little ones?" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang followed behind Qin Lei, and was asking him about the coordination of operations among the various brigades under complex climatic conditions, when he heard this, he turned his head and glared at him: "Didn't you see that Lao Tzu was busy?" ”

He was not very old, but he was honest and kind, and the officers and soldiers liked to laugh with him. Hearing his words, Shi Meng in the crowd shouted in a loud voice: "Ball, you are a bag, the prince has been tired for a day, why are you still pestering his old man?" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang thought about it, scratched his head and smiled: "Lord Wang, then I will ask you again for advice." ”

Qin Lei laughed after hearing this and said: "It's still Mengzi who knows that it hurts people, Saiyang, you can sing a song and relieve the fatigue of the young guys." ”

Since the prince spoke, Bo Xian Saiyang had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, what to sing then?" ”

"Eighteen touch ......," Shi Mengwei shouted, "Brothers love this, right?" "Yes!" Immediately attracted a wolf howl.

Bo Xian Saiyang looked at Shi Meng like a cannibal, and said roughly: "Stinky rascal!" How can any old man sing this? ”

Qin Lei also glared at Shi Meng, who was overly excited, and said to Bo Xian Saiyang with a smile: "Just pick up a familiar singing, don't go out of tune." ”

"Don't worry, my singing is never out of tune." Bo Xiang Saiyang's chest was patted loudly.

"I just can't find ......," Shi Mengwei laughed.

"Shi Meng!" Qin Lei suddenly shouted. "Yes!" "You sing with Saiyang!"

Shi Meng said with a bitter face: "Lord, I ...... All right. "I wanted to play slippery, but I remembered the prince's hobby of 'treating all kinds of disobedience', so I had to say to the gloating Bo Xian Saiyang: "Just sing the 'Horse Fight and Return to the Camp' that I learned yesterday." ”

"Don't you sing Eighteen Touch?" There were voices of disappointment all around.

"Listen to my house!" Shi Meng said viciously: "I'll get up, Saiyang, you sing along!" One, two," he opened his throat and howled: "The sunset is red and the sun is flying, singing ......"

Bo Xianyang hurriedly picked it up, and the two sang together, "The red glow flies in the west mountain at sunset, the soldiers return the camp to the camp at sunset, the red flowers on the chest reflect the colorful glow, and the happy singing is flying all over the sky......"

The loud singing voice flew into the sky, and was heard by the soldiers of the team behind, and naturally sang in unison: "Mi Sao La Mi Sao, La Sao Mi to Rui, happy singing is flying all over the sky......"

In a happy singing, the team returned to Jingshan City with Caixia, and after a brief gathering on the school grounds, Qin Lei laughed and said: "Dismiss for dinner, and the auditorium will be held in an hour." The soldiers said 'ha' in unison, and followed their respective brigades back to the camp.

After everyone left, Qin Lei returned to his cross-courtyard, and at this time, the sky was completely dark, and the east wind blew the big poplar trees in the yard, making a loud sound, which made people feel refreshed.

Le Buyi was also in the courtyard, sitting in the gazebo, reading with an oil lamp, and when he saw him come in, he got up and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, wash your hands quickly, I'm almost hungry in the next place." ”

Qin Lei scolded with a smile: "We haven't shouted evil for our physical work, what are you doing with a mental work?" As he spoke, he untied his belt, got rid of his dusty training clothes, and handed it to Shi Kang, took off his shoes, walked barefoot, and stood naked in the courtyard wearing only a pair of big pants.

The black-clothed guard brought him a basin of water, Qin Lei washed his hands first, and the basin of water became muddy soup, so he had to change another basin to wash his face, and he used five basins of water to wash his body. Qin Lei took the last pot, and with a 'whoosh', poured his head on himself, finally dispelled the fatigue, and shouted comfortably: "***, it's more comfortable than a horse killing a chicken." ”

Looking at the prince who was wiping his body with a big white towel, Le Buyi said strangely: "What is 'horse killing chicken'?" ”

Qin Lei wiped it indiscriminately, then threw the towel to the black-clothed guard, put on his loose clothes and pants, sat on the edge of Lebu's clothes, and said with a smile: "This is a saying, of course you don't understand it." In other words, a horse kills a chicken, which is very happy! ”

Le Buyi smiled when he heard this: "Bullying the small with the big and bullying the weak by the strong, what is the joy to speak of?" Fanbang is Fanbang, cruel and unreasonable. ”

Qin Lei nodded in agreement and did not delve into the topic.

The black-clothed guard lit a few more lamps and lit up the small gazebo like daylight, and then the wine and food that had been prepared in advance were served like water. In less than two clicks, the small round table was piled to the brim.

Looking at the table of good things, Qin Lei swallowed his saliva and said with a dry smile: "There are so many things, have you eaten them alone?"

Le Buyi glanced at him strangely and said with a smile: "This is for you, Lord Wang, I basically only eat porridge at night." ”

Qin Lei scratched his cheeks and said, "Isn't this a waste, this table will cost at least one or two silver to handle it." ”

"Listen to you, are you going to eat it?" Le Buyi smiled: "Eat with confidence, I let them close the door." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "I promised to eat and train with the soldiers, how can I eat secretly just because no one sees it?" As he spoke, he took his eyes off the food and wine, and sighed with a sigh, "I'll go to the cafeteria later." This is life, how can you think of being on the ground? ”

Lebu clothesclip a sliced piece of meat with chopsticks, took a deep breath, and reveled: "It's so fragrant...... Why is it so pretty. Try it first," he put it in his mouth, chewed it, and didn't forget to say kindly while eating: "It's so delicious, it's really full of color, flavor, and flavor, Lord Wang, don't you want to have some?" "It's just going to make people angry.

Qin Lei rolled his eyes, slapped the table and said in a rough voice: "Come on, take them down for me and give them to Xu Tian and his eldest brother to eat." The black-clad guards came up with a smile and brought down the table full of dishes.

Le Buyi covered a bowl of gruel and a plate of pickles, and said strangely in his mouth: "Why is it Xu Tian and his eldest brother?" Could it be that the family members came to the team? ”

The black-clothed guard, who was packing up his things, laughed softly: "Sir, Lord Xu has a nickname called 'Little Wolf Dog'......"

Le Buyi was completely speechless, so he had to bow his head and eat his gruel and pickles silently.

Qin Lei salvaged for a while, his whole body was comfortable, and he asked loudly: "Have you calculated it, how much silver is short?" ”

Le Buyi drank the gruel while 'sucking and sucking', and said vaguely: "It's not too much, as long as you add another 400,000 taels of silver every month, you can basically manage it." ”

Qin Lei almost fell off the stone bench, and said angrily: "I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, 400,000 taels?" Coupled with the original 400,000 taels, the entire palace will cost me 800,000 taels a month. I can turn stones into gold, and I have to turn my tired fingers around! ”

Le Buyi pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Now is not the time for farming, how can the cost of hiring a man have risen five times?" In addition, our demand for people has also doubled, and the labor here has increased tenfold, and if you want to maintain the progress, you have to throw money into it, which is no way. ”

Qin Lei frowned and said: "I went to Haikou with Guan Tao, and I won't ask for a penny from the Government Affairs Temple this year." If we let the government temple have a blood transfusion, our affairs will be delayed. Then he asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, how much more silver can I muster?" ”

Le Buyi said without blinking his eyelids: "At least five million taels." Seeing that the prince's face was cloudy for a while, he said softly: "If you really can't extend the construction period, when the farm is slack, the cost will naturally come down." As he spoke, he said tentatively: "It's really not possible, please ask Your Majesty to recruit people." ”

Qin Lei frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head firmly and said: "No, if you requisition the people, my problem will be solved, but they can't do their own farm work." Isn't this equivalent to me passing on the loss to the people? I don't do this kind of thing like having a son without an asshole. ”

Le Buyi smiled: "Then extend the construction period, right?" ”

"No," Qin Lei categorically vetoed: "Time waits for no one, and the progress must not be delayed until it is absolutely necessary." Otherwise, if we are not completed by the time the war begins, these major projects to boost our national strength will become a heavy burden on us. "At all times, he can keep a clear head, and he will never lose a big thing because of a small thing, and he will not distinguish between priorities and priorities...... It's a talent, guess.

Le Buyi drank the last mouthful of gruel, wiped his mouth and said: "This is not good, that is not good, then I can only rob the treasury." ”

Hearing the word 'treasury' he said, Qin Lei slapped his thigh and said with a dumb smile: "Yes, only an idiot like me would hold a golden bowl and ask for food." As she spoke, Huo De stood up, walked out of the gazebo, and paced up and down the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed and loosened for a while, obviously thinking about some important question.

Le Buyi said in his heart: "You don't really want to rob the treasury, do you? But it is empty in it, and it is more reliable to rob His Majesty's inner son. After thinking about it, he heard Qin Lei give him a fierce high-five, and shouted: "That's it!" He said, "Mr. Le, please write out the composition, usefulness, and future benefits of the entire engineering system in as accurate words as possible, and show them to me in a whole way, the lonely king is of great use!" ”

"Oh?" Le Buyi smiled and said, "Can you tell me what the hell is it for?" It's okay for me to have a purpose. ”

Qin Lei laughed and said: "Our silver depends on this article, you have to write it carefully." ”

When Le Buyi heard this, he suddenly became full of energy, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you sure it's not for me?" ”

Qin Lei scolded with a smile: "This is all burning eyebrows, how can you have the kung fu to entertain you?" As soon as you give me Tiao Chen, I will personally go south and ask for money for you. ”

"Is the prince looking for the Jiangnan clan to raise money?" Le Buyi said with some understanding: "Are you going to let them in?" He was deeply impressed by Qin Lei's rain and clouds in the south last year, and he immediately thought of it.

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "Everyone is not having a good time now, how can they let them smash the pot and sell iron?" This time, I'm going to make the big families of the whole country bleed, and I can't give them a chance to point fingers. He said and giggled: "There is nothing easier in this world than taking the resources of the country to make money." ”

It's not that Qin Lei is reluctant to give up power, but that the northern and southern scholars have a lot of grievances, and they can't work together in a system at all.

Three days later, Le Buyi presented the strip to Qin Lei, this guy has a super comprehension, Qin Lei basically didn't change much, and the draft was finalized. He asked the cloth worker to transcribe it neatly, and then put it in the box, and ordered Shi to dare to pack up and prepare to go south.

Seeing that he really wanted to go south, Le Buyi dissuaded: "Why don't you find someone to replace you?" I can do it in the lower and the pavilion pottery. ”

Qin Lei knew that he was worried about his safety, shook his head and smiled: "This matter must be bowed in person, otherwise no one will buy it." ”

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Le Buyi said softly: "You might as well wait for two days, I have some disciples who can accompany you." "By implication, they can protect you.

Qin Lei said happily: "Really? Tie Ying wrote to say that his master was coming in the next few days. ”

Le Buyi smiled when he heard this: "Old man Xia? His hands are still reasonable. ”

Sure enough, two days later, Le Buyi's disciples arrived in Jingshan City. One day later, Xia Suiyang, the Purple Cloud Swordsman, also rushed to the Jingshan camp with more than a dozen disciples.

It's just that to Qin Lei's surprise, the Xia swordsman who was originally dragging him, when he saw Le Buyi, actually saluted respectfully, and said, "Senior." This made Qin Lei quite suspicious of Le Buyi's true age.

Called a few Yang Wenyu and gave them a detailed explanation, Qin Lei took the black-clothed guard and left Jingshan City. The difference is that there are more than 30 'martial arts masters' guards this time, which also reassures his subordinates a lot.
