It is not so simple to get a qualified horseshoe, and if you don't get through the steel frying method for a day, even a contemporary famous swordsman like Feng Lack Jin will have a big headache. Don't underestimate this thing, the technical content of the horseshoe is far more than the saddle and stirrups, and it is not exactly a new invention and new technology that can be obtained by piercing the window paper in a flash of inspiration, a set of qualified horseshoes represents the rapid development of iron-smelting technology, which is basically unimaginable before the emergence of steel-like metals.

The steel that will really shock the world has not yet appeared, but Bai Dong is working in this direction, Bai Zuo's more real hobby is to live a small life and engage in small inventions, and when the interest comes, promote this era to see if it can develop according to its own ideas? Personally leading the army to the front line is actually not something Bai Dong likes to do, if it is not for fleas this time, even if Qin State needs to win this battle, he may not agree to lead the troops, dancing with guns and sticks is always a rough thing to do, and those who go to the army only love to plot.

"It's finally time to go home"

Bai Dong was dressed in a brocade robe, with a stove on the table next to him, a brazier at his feet, drinking fragrant tea, eating snacks, and carefully looking at Yingquliang's Flying Eagle Transmission, with a slight smile on his face.

The siege of Zhao was lifted, and Zhao Hou had already flown to Liyang to thank Lao Qin and want to form a brotherly country with Lao Qin; This biggest enemy of the Qin State in the future is still very weak now, and he will be bullied by the Wei State at any time, not to mention, but also be careful of the Zhongshan State in the north, choosing to ally with the Qin State is the best choice and a helpless choice.

The Warring States period is a very unique era, which may be the reason why there have been too many wars, and these vassal states are all like small powerhouses that cannot be killed; Pang Juan withdrew his troops from Handan not long after. The fallen counties of Zhao were recovered one after another. The army of Zhao, who had been beaten to a terrible point, seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground. 200,000 people can be gathered in a few days! Even Long Jia, who has experienced a hundred battles, feels pressure. This ability was cultivated by a long war, and without such ability, the country would have been ruined long ago, and it would not have been eligible for a piece of the pie in the Warring States period at all.

"The Zhao people are not simple, but they should also have such ability, otherwise they should have been destroyed a long time ago." Bai Dong raised the Jun Shu in his hand, and said to Ying Shu with a smile: "There is also a mention of Tian Yinqi in the letter, and this time I can transport back 30,000 Wei prisoners. In fact, Qi Guo also made a great effort, and when you return to Qi Kingdom, you will also help me thank him. ”

"Thank you, Qi Guo?" Ying Shu unconsciously smiled, when she married Qi Guo, she wanted to live or die, and when she met Tian Yinqi, a strange man with a hidden disease, she was even more dead and alive, but in terms of name, she was the wife of Qi after all, although she was not as close as Lao Qin, she would still be very happy to hear people say that Qi Guo was good.

"There are Qi sailors in the fleet escorting the Wei captives this time, although the number of ships is not large, they are only sending you back to your relatives. But it is very meaningful to appear when Qin and Wei are fighting; My senior brother and Wei Ying are not fools, otherwise Pang Juan would have rushed to catch up. It may not be possible to rush back to Daliang faster, and it may not be so easy for hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to retreat calmly. Bai Dong smiled and said: "Judging from this matter alone, Tian Yinqi still has brains, much stronger than that 'Little Qi Huan Gong'." ”

"He doesn't have brains, he asks for something."

Ying Shu looked at Bai Dong steadily, and Yue Baobao in his arms was also looking at his father with wide eyes: "Tian Yinqi is also building a fleet, and he also said that he wants to ask you to help him train sailors, and Qi Guo's fleet also wants to go to the sea to have a look." I guess he wants to find the old fairy of the sea, don't you say? ”

"Hehe, whatever he wants to do, I will support him. Qi is born with the conditions for navigation, it is not a bad thing to look west to the sea, it is best for Yue and Chu to participate, everyone is in a pot, what's the point? ”

Bai Dong smiled and nodded, this is Tian Yinqi, this is Qi Country, even if he didn't come to this era, Tian Yinqi was obsessed with sailing all his life; Of course, at that time, he was just obsessed with the search for immortals on the sea, and he didn't know that there was a more magical continent on the other side of the sea than the sea immortals, and if he could discover this continent in the Warring States Period, the help to Huaxia would be immeasurable

The Age of Discovery represents a kind of spirit, which is what China lacks the most, it is not the right way to hold on to the defects, and it will make up for the shortcomings that will make Bai Dong very interested.

***

When the army of Qin reappeared in the Shangyu Mountains, the entire Qin State was shaken. Yingqu Liang's letter of commendation came in one day, and there were twelve letters, all of which urged Bai Dong to return early in order to accept his reward.

This will be the most solemn marquis ceremony in the Qin State in a hundred years, obviously it is overdue, but Yingquliang doesn't care, this time he is not ready to discuss with Bai Dong, and is ready to directly crown him as 'Xijun'!

Qin is not a duke's state, but the Ying family has already proclaimed itself a duke, and the duke's vassals are marquis, which will be scolded to death by the people of the world in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and there will be countries that have organized coalition forces to attack, but who will touch the mold of Qin now? Even the Wei State was defeated, and the Baizi of the Qin State became the 'Soldier Yasheng' praised by the people of the world, which one would be too long-lived?

In front of the Liyang Palace, a three-zhang high platform was erected, the three animals and five ceremonies were complete, the pigs, cattle and sheep were all wearing big red flowers, and Yingqu Liang smiled and fought behind the pig's head, beckoning to the white Dong with a strong crown. The eyes of all the courtiers are dizzy, there is a ceremony of splitting the earth and sealing the marquis, you have to write the king's book, ask the king, respect the ancestors of heaven and earth, and check the origin of the feuded one by one, if the ancestors are not nobles for five generations, then this marquis cannot be sealed, and you have to accumulate great merit first!

Bai Dong's credit is very great, but it is far from reaching the kind of Cheng dù of Guan Zhong and Baili Xi, not to mention the ancestors, the Yongyi Bai family is a nobleman, but Bai Dong's line is a real root is not red and seedlings are not right, not only a concubine, but also a side line in the concubine, it is simply a commoner among the commoners; Bai Wugeng recognized Bai Dong as his uncle, but Bai Dong still couldn't be the patriarch of the Yongyi Bai family, and the reason was here.

Now that the Zhou royal family is declining, it is a joke to ask for permission to write this kind of procedure, but this procedure of asking the ancestors to see the king is unavoidable, right? Everyone has set their eyes on Du Zhi, as Bai Dong's business partner and political friend, now Du Zhi is rising step by step, and has replaced the outgoing Gan Long as a big boss; Gan Long was originally the head of the civil ministers, and the big Sikong was also a part-time officer, but now he is old and frail. If his disciples don't do such a heavy burden, who will do it? What's more, the Du family is not less rich than the Gan family. When Yingquliang needs to fight the autumn wind, he can face Du Zhi more thickly.

Du Zhi shrank his neck: "See what I do?" ”

"Nonsense. You are now the chief secretary in charge of etiquette, morality, sacrifice and all kinds of fortifications, half of the old Qin has to listen to you, who do you look at if you don't look at you? Now the king wants to break the rules and tear the soil and seal the marquis, I am afraid that the countries will laugh at the fact that the Qin State has no rules, even if you can't stop it, you, the big Sikong, have to make a show, and let the people of the world know that it is not that I, the Qin State, is not good at etiquette, but that Bai Zuo has made too much merit and should make an exception. ”

Zhao Feng has the best relationship with Du Zhi. This guy doesn't look like an arithmetic with only numbers in his eyes when he polishes people, and he is even older than the old fritters in the market.

"Let me touch the moldy head of the king?" Du Zhi stared at Zhao Feng, as if he saw a big fool, this is the gap, look at our teacher, the congratulatory messages are ready, and he was ordered by the king to carefully sort out the family tree for the Bai brothers; It is said that Bai Wugeng cooperated very well, and the genealogy of the Yongyi Bai family was wrong! Back then, it was the ancestor of the Bai family who married a noble woman in exile in Zheng Guo, and he didn't do a good job of inspection for a while, so he married into the Bai family as a concubine. This Zheng Guo woman died of dystocia again, so she didn't get her name right!

At that time, it was Lao Qin who was poor and weak. At the moment when the whole country is fighting with the Rong people, this ancestor of the Bai family is to marry Concubine Teng first and then accept a wife, and sooner or later he has to press the entrance, this noble woman of Zheng Guo should be the wife! What a painful misunderstanding? Fortunately, the king is able to set things right. These two idioms are also from 'Baizi Xinyu', and Du Zhi feels that they are particularly suitable here.

It was the first time that Bai Dong and the clansmen of Baijiazhuang knew that they were so tall, what was Zheng Guo? That was a country that was once strong in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the descendants of the Son of Heaven and Miao with red roots, although they were wiped out by Korea more than ten years ago, they were much more noble than the 'Tugen' nobles like the Ying family!

Counting the time when this 'grandmother' was exiled in the Qin State, it should be the period when Zheng Guo destroyed the country and restored the country, but unfortunately the grandmother of the Bai family died in childbirth, otherwise most of them could still get back the throne during the period of the restoration and rejuvenation of the country by Gong Kang, and the ancestor of the Bai family would not be able to correct others, which was a big crime against etiquette!

When he saw that the doctor Gan Long was foaming at the mouth and Yingquliang had a sighing expression, the people in Baijiazhuang were all stupid, and even Bai Dong was dumbfounded, he heard what Uncle Long said, this grandmother is actually the daughter of the Bai family's Gaozu Mafu, only because she was born beautiful, she was favored as a concubine Teng, God is pitiful, this grandmother was born in Qin and grew up in Qin, when did she go to Zhengguo? However, Zheng Guo has now destroyed the country, it is that there is no proof of death, Yingqu Liang and Gan Long insisted that she was a nobleman of Zheng State, and Bai Wugeng vouched in the name of the patriarch, Lao Qin Qunchen are all human spirits, and the reason why people carry people in a sedan chair will not understand? Even if there is no sedan chair in this era, is this the truth? (Taking people as animals is a matter of later generations, and there was no sedan chair in the pre-Qin era)

With a wry smile, he glanced at the surprised mother and Uncle Long, and glared at the grass who was smiling but suspicious, Bai Dong actually wanted to interrupt Gan Long's gushing performance; The second brother is kind-hearted, but he doesn't have such a thick skin, what is Xijun or not Xijun, he actually doesn't have much interest. It may not be a good thing to be called the king in the country, didn't Wei Ying later tear the earth and seal the marquis and call the Shang Jun, what was the result? Bitter wine grabbed him, lowered his voice and said in his ear: "Sister Bu said, the king raised the Bai family so much for you, a good brother, and also for the flea girl, don't mess around."

"For fleas?"

Bai Dong's heart moved, and he suddenly understood Yingquliang's hard work, he didn't care enough about his wife as a husband, but he was not as good as the second brother as an uncle, he was really a little ashamed.

Lao Ganlong spoke generously for more than half an hour, and stubbornly told a story made up improvised as an iron case, and after hearing it, even Bai Dong felt that this was the truth! Bai Yue grabbed his son's hand and didn't speak, he was very grateful to Yingquliang for his arrangement, although she was not uncommon with any feudal wealth, but she had to think a lot about her daughter-in-law's fleas, and now the fleas were still kept in the dark, if you need to expose that matter, you should sweep away a qiē obstacle, and now her son and the king are doing this.

Lao Ganlong finally finished speaking, coupled with Bai Wugeng's passionate performance, the Bai family tree has changed greatly since then, Bai Dong's vein has become a descendant nobleman from the side lineage, Yingqu Liang nodded with satisfaction, signaling to the doctor that you are doing a good job, you can take a break, and turned to Du Zhi and said: "Du Sikong, please book the Son of Heaven!" ”

The Book of the Son of Heaven? Bai Dong Fenghou actually has a book from the Son of Heaven, which has not happened for many years! The ministers talked about it for a while.

Since the countries are strong, there are also domestic marquis, but no one can get the real recognition of the Zhou royal family, this is because many countries are just a marquis or even a viscount, where is the qualification of a marquis? This is different from rewarding a piece of gizzard meat, it is the last face of the Zhou royal family!

Yingqu Liang seems to be intent on making the hearts of the ministers beat wildly, and it is uncomfortable not to scare people's lives, and it is not until this moment that he took out the Book of the Son of Heaven, so that Bai Dong is not only the first person in China after Lao Qin succeeded Baili Xi, but also the first domestic marquis recognized by the Zhou royal family in the Chinese countries after King Ping moved eastward!

Looking at Du Zhi who walked on stage with a smile on his face, Zhao Feng felt that the roots of his teeth were itchy, and he wanted to bite this guy hard, or a good friend, he didn't know to reveal some rumors beforehand? Who is this (to be continued......
