Chapter 61: Letter from Home

Visiting his daughter and recognizing his uncle is certainly the purpose of the king of Zhenxi to come to the fiefdom, but seeing Modao is what the old prince is looking forward to the most.

Back then, Hong Taizu swept [***], and the name of Modao was powerful all over the world. Now that Blacksmith Xiao has restored this murder weapon, and the Cicada Yaksha has the method of the Mo Sword Battle Formation in his hand, which general and emperor in Middle-earth does not want to use the Zhihua for this [***] horse, and reproduce the immortal exploits of Hongzu in unifying Middle-earth?

The old man was full of interest, and galloped to Nanwei, Song Yang was not good to pour cold water on him, but he did not have hope in his heart, not to mention that the Mo knife was expensive and the process was complicated, even if the Mo knife was full of warehouses, it was not easy to equip it...... This knife is too heavy.

According to the measurement of the previous life, the weight of the Mo knife is about thirty catties, and ordinary strong men will be tired and out of breath after playing for a long time. And because of the regional relationship, most of the Chengren of all ethnic groups are thin and small, and the Han people are no exception, and the strength is not comparable to the northerners.

As for the barbarians of Shanxi Barbarian and Stone Guy, they are considered alien in Middle-earth, and their bloodlines are relatively special, although they are also in the south, they are extremely tall.

Sure enough, when he arrived in Nanwei and the prince personally grabbed the Mo knife in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his disappointment was overflowing. Zhenxi Wang Rongma has been familiar with military affairs all his life, and he understands that this weapon is not suitable for his own use.

Seeing that his father was disappointed, Xiao Zhu helped to come up with an idea from the side: "The Modao is a little heavier and can't equip the whole army, but you can draw strong and fierce elites from the army to form a special ......."

King Zhenxi was too lazy to speak, raised his hand and nodded at the princess's iron guard: "Qin Zun, you explain it to Xiao Qi." ”

"Miss also said just now that if you want to use a Mo knife, you must be a soldier in the army. With the weight of the Mo knife, recruiting people from our Nanli army, it must be an exaggeration to say that one out of a hundred miles, but one out of ten, twenty miles, or even one out of thirty miles should be about the same. Fold it, even if you choose one out of twenty, if you want to build a battalion of 2,000 people, you have to choose from 40,000 soldiers. Qin Cone was ordered to speak, and said with a smile to Xiao Zhu: "But miss, don't forget, the selected elite soldiers are originally the backbone of the 40,000 army, you must know that when the two armies are fighting, a soldier can bring up a piece of morale, excluding the generals, the essence of a large army, is only one percent of the soldiers." If you think that if you take out 2,000 of these soldiers out of 40,000 troops, it will be like a tiger losing its claws and teeth, and the dragon will lose its tendons, and its combat power will be drastically reduced. ”

"You can take out these two thousand people and practice the Modao Combat Method from scratch, what kind of achievements can you have, no one can say; Even if they can practice as well as the Cicada Yaksha, with only their two thousand, how much combat power can they have when they are used to the extreme? On the one hand, the 40,000-strong army suffered a great loss of combat strength; On one side is the 2,000 battle formations whose strength and achievements are immeasurable, and this deal is not cost-effective. ”

The reason is simple, Xiao Yu understood it as soon as he heard it, then looked at his father and muttered: "Then our Hongbowei are all strong men in the army, will they ......?"

Without waiting for the prince to reprimand, Qin Cone explained with a smile: "Don't worry, this young lady, when we were promoted to Hongbowei, we all made a military order, and if there is a big war, we will all return to the army." ”

Regardless of whether they return in the future or not, this military form alone is enough to make Song Yang admire Hong Bowei and the King of Zhenxi.

It was difficult for Modao to form an army, and the prince lost interest, no matter how Song Yang and his two daughters kept him, he refused to stay longer, only stayed in the Hou Mansion for one night, and set off for Xiguan early the next morning. In this regard, even Feng Long, who is 'seeking another job', has some feelings, the king of Zhenxi will go to Xiguan to supervise the army once or twice a year, and even go three times a year at some times, you must know that from Xiguan to Phoenix, a round trip on the journey will have more than a month, the old man's hard work can be imagined, to have such a loyal, dutiful king, it is really a blessing for Nanli.

And this time the burden of the king of Zhenxi is heavier, he not only inspects Xiguan, but also rushes to the north after going to Xiguan to inspect the first-line defense of Hongcheng and Zheqiaoguan. The relationship between Nanli and Dayan is becoming tense, although the prince is sure that Dayan will not dare to really do it, but he still does not dare to slack off in the slightest in the matter of rectifying defense affairs.

When the prince was in the fiefdom, Lord Hu never came to disturb, making time for their father and daughter to talk about their family together, until the king of Zhenxi left, he came to Song Yang's family of three: "Let's talk about a gossip first, the king of Zhenxi doesn't know, I requisitioned a group of blacksmiths from the Ministry of Industry, and now they are on the way, and it is estimated that they will arrive one after another within half a month." ”

Ren Churong looked happy, the scale of Nanwei is not small, there are iron mines in the iron furnace to build as many as you want, but the craftsman is difficult to find, the poor craftsmanship of Nanwei can not look down, the good craftsmanship is either controlled by the imperial court, or in other workshops, is to work hard before and after a year, the blacksmiths in the arsenal have not yet been full, and when they can't think of employing people, Prime Minister Zuo helped.

Xiao Yu was also happy, but at the same time a little puzzled: "How did you know that there was a shortage of blacksmiths in the fiefdom?" ”

Master Hu waved his hand and smiled: "Don't think nonsense, I haven't sent a small work here." Now that the Ministry of Industry is under my jurisdiction, the king of Zhenxi specially greeted me about Nanwei's 'transfer of orders', and made a good money business, why didn't you suddenly do it? This matter is not difficult to guess, unless Nanwei has other important work to rush to work, since it is a rush, then there must be a shortage of blacksmiths, there is a large group of blacksmiths under the Ministry of Industry who have no work to do, it is better to transfer to help you. ”

After speaking, there was no need for Song Yang and the others to thank him, the old man changed his words and said the purpose of this trip, he received a letter from Cheng He, and he came specifically for the matter of grape apprenticeship. Although Ren Churong had written clearly on the letterhead, Master Hu still asked the three masters to talk about Yunding's skills, origins, the inheritance of the domain sect, and the specific situation when the living Buddha and grapes first met.

Ren Churong did not exaggerate or conceal it, and told the truth what he knew, but unfortunately Wuyu and Shi Xiaoxiao had already left the feudal town and went to work on the matter of the 'reincarnation of the Venerable', if they were there, they could be more detailed.

For this matter, do you want Lord Hu to come here? Unless he has the heart to let the grapes worship Genting as a teacher. Song Yang was surprised: "Do you really mean this?" ”

Master Hu was noncommittal, stood up and said, "Take me to meet the Genting Living Buddha first, and we'll talk after the meeting." ”

The old man went to interview the Living Buddha, and Song Yang didn't have time to wonder about anything, when suddenly great news came: the messenger from the Southern Wilderness and the eagle lord sent by Amber arrived in Fengyi!

As early as ten days ago, Cheng He received a message from the southern realm, and learned that Amber had sent someone, but she didn't tell Song Yang that she planned to give him a surprise...... In mid-air, the black eagle spreads its wings and circles, occasionally letting out a loud cry, showing the might of a bird of prey. The eagle lord is a savage in the 100,000 flood wilderness, and after seeing Song Yang and confirming his identity, the eagle lord sang the indigenous praise tune in his mouth, and actually met him with a five-body gift.

Just from the Eagle Lord's respect for Song Yang, it is not difficult to see Amber's status among the savages.

Song Yang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and General Huayan of the White Drum Tower specially sent a well-spoken captain to accompany him, and after saluting the Marquis of Changchun, he immediately told the situation when Amber appeared in the southern boundary, and then the captain showed a palpitating expression: "The little clumsy mouth and cheeks, I really can't say it too clearly, but it's a pity that the Hou Ye was not present and couldn't see it with my own eyes... When the Amber ancestors appeared, the mountains were really moving and the forests bowed down. ”

Song Yang was proud and happy when he heard this: "So, Amber subdued a large number of wild people in the 100,000 flood famines? ”

If Imperial Doctor You is stubborn and serious, and is not as sharp as Yanding's methods, Amber is still the most amazing woman in the world of Middle-earth, and she will only be curious and not surprised when she subdues a large number of subordinates Song Yang in the Southern Wilderness.

The captain nodded vigorously: "There will be no mistake, at that time, it was definitely the movement of thousands of troops rushing to the mountains and burying rivers and breaking forests, and I can't count how many people her old man brought here!" Xiao Yu smiled at him from the side: "You are not clumsy, you speak one set of words, and you are not much more afraid than Tan Tuzi." ”

Almost a year and a half passed, and finally got the news of amber, Song Yang was full of joy, but it was so unclear that it was relayed, as if it was itching through the boots, which made people very uncomfortable, Song Yang went to ask the eagle owner about the details of amber, but the other party was a savage, and he didn't understand Chinese at all, and couldn't say anything at all...... Singing and singing, he suddenly remembered something, untied the burden he was carrying behind him and stuffed it to Song Yang, and said vaguely: "Amber, amber." ”

Amber ordered him to pass on the package to Song Yang.

Open the baggage, a 'letter', two packets of medicine, one red and one white.

The letter was written in a carbon strip on an unknown animal skin, written by Amber, but did not mention his recent situation, but only two lines and sixteen large characters:

My son is alive, do whatever he wants; My children are at home, and my children and grandchildren are full.

Sixteen words are inexplicable, Song Yang and the two daughters-in-law looked at each other, all confused, Song Yang took the two packets of medicine again, he didn't need to identify it, Amber had already written the name of the medicine on the package skin, which was easy to understand, one was called 'abortion', and the other was 'fetal protection'.

Ren Churong was puzzled at first, and after a little pondering, he was stunned, and after he realized it, his face was full of astonishment; Song Yang's expression was similar to that of the county lord, and he probably understood what Amber meant:

My son is alive, do whatever you want... With that pack of abortion pills. This is to tell his son to mess around casually, with the abortion elixir in hand, there are no taboos, and no girl is afraid of being entangled if he sleeps; My children are at home, and my children and grandchildren are full... These eight words are naturally worthy of the package of fetal protection miracle medicine, and it is estimated that Amber wants to hold her grandson.

Xiao Yu was still confused, and tugged on his sister's sleeve: "What do you mean?" ”

Ren Churong ignored her, and Xiao Zhu didn't give up and ran to ask Song Yang. Song Yang suddenly laughed, and the answer was not what he asked: "This family letter...... Sure enough, it's amber, and that's amber! ”

Although I don't know the details, at least Song Yang knows that Amber is all right in the Southern Wilderness, except for taking care of her son and being grounded by the national teacher for eighteen years, Amber has been playing all her life, and now is no exception, she just needs to be happy...... As long as she's happy.

The detailed conversation between Lord Hu and Genting was surprisingly long, for three days and three nights, Lord Hu ate and slept in the living Buddha's house, and never walked out of the small courtyard, until noon on the fourth day, he said goodbye and left, and returned to the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

Song Yang is biting the pen to write a letter to Amber, Amber's family letter is not in tune, he can't help but write in detail, because of the deep friendship, he doesn't want to find Mr. ghostwriting, but he didn't expect to write more and more, three days later, this letter is only halfway written, fortunately, Xun Ying is huge, Song Yang can write a book can also tie it to his feet and take it over.

Seeing the old man come back, Song Yang raised his head and asked, "How is it?" ”

Master Hu sincerely admired: "This living Buddha is not simple. As for how it wasn't easy, he didn't dwell on it, anyway, everyone knew it.

Song Yang, like everyone else in the fiefdom, likes Xiaowa grapes very much, so he is also very concerned about his apprenticeship, put down the brush in his hand, and sat opposite Lord Hu: "I don't understand, don't you plan to let grapes be an official in the future?" ”

"Being an official?" Master Hu smiled and asked rhetorically, "What is being an official?" ”

Song Yang couldn't answer such a vague question, but Master Hu didn't need him to say anything, and directly gave his own answer: "To be an official is to weave a net, the three nets of relationships, favors, fame and fortune, the bigger the net is woven, the bigger the official will be." ”

After speaking, without explaining anything, Master Hu changed the topic stiffly: "If I have a son at the age of twenty, I will definitely let my son be an official...... He started his career when he was twenty years old, and I was forty years old when I was in the prime of life, and I would take him to run it together, cultivate henchmen for him, recruit subordinates, and raise my people to be his people, and then twenty years later, to my current age, the grapes are also in their forties, and his position must be stable, and one day I will close my eyes, and he will take over my class. ”

"But I didn't have a son until I was almost sixty, and I was too late for anything. Now that I'm over the age of six, it will take another ten years for him to take on a little responsibility, and even if I'm still alive by then, how long can I live? ”

"Late son is only one of them, if I have four or five sons, even if they are all late and young, I will let them be officials, I just said, being an official is weaving a net, I don't have time to weave a big net for them, but I can help each of them weave a small net, a few dolls will work their own, take care of each other and help each other, a few small nets have a chance to be connected into a big net...... There is only one son, and it comes late, and it can't be made up. That's where the gap lies. ”

Song Yang disagreed: "Your old ambition is too big, and if you think about it, your son will have to be a high-ranking minister like you in the future, and you have to be a big official to be comfortable?" I see that Murong County's order, as well as the previous Lord Zhou and Qingyang Taishou, are all easier and happier than you. ”

Master Hu didn't refute, and smiled hehe: "What you said is right, there is almost no hope of letting Grape be a big official, and it is not difficult for him to be a small official, or a rich man with some power and not being bullied." However, compared with petty officials and rich people, wouldn't it be better to be a living Buddha of the domain sect of Nanli. ”

"I have already asked clearly, the domain sect does not have so many rules and precepts, don't say that compared to our Han family Zen Buddhism, even in the plateau Tantra, the vein of Yunding is also relaxed, it doesn't hurt to drink wine and eat meat, marry a wife and have children, the living Buddha suffers by himself, and how to practice grapes can be found in another way. The most important thing is that with the help of Wuyan and Wuyu, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the domain sect will be scattered, and there will be no fewer believers in the future... Lao Tzu is a very popular minister, and his power is tilted towards one side; My son is a living Buddha, and everyone worships him, think about it, and count it as the ancestor of my old Hu family. The more Mr. Hu talked, the happier he became, and the wording was not too particular.

But even so, Song Yang still felt that Zuo Cheng's arrangement for his son was incomprehensible.

Master Hu could see his thoughts, shook his head and smiled: "It's not what you think, I didn't say it, let the grapes go to worship Yunding as a teacher." I think the Living Buddha's suggestion is very good, let the grapes have more contact with him first. I think so, inheriting the mantle of the living Buddha is finally a future, why just block it, and look at it after a period of contact, it can be regarded as an alternative; Even if the two of them don't become masters and apprentices, at least they have a good relationship......" Saying, Master Hu smiled even more: "The Genting Living Buddha is not ordinary ferocious, he cares about grapes, which is a great thing." ”

Master Hu's meaning is very clear, the apprentice is not busy, everything will be said later, and the grapes do not need to deliberately avoid Yunding, everyone has more contact, Yunding is a master in the world, and it is beneficial and harmless to bring a little baby.

After the old man finished speaking, he thought about it again, and suddenly sighed long: "As parents, I hope that my child can get ahead, but I am afraid that the doll will cause trouble, so I will say something from my heart...... Ahem, I can't talk to you, the living king of Hades. ”

After saying the grape matter, Master Hu changed his words and asked Song Yang again: "What are your plans recently?" ”

"There are a lot of things going on in the fiefdom, and I will stay in the near future to see if there is anything I can help with." Song Yang replied truthfully, there are not many things he can help, but the most important thing is that the Cicada Yaksha has been decided, and it is best for him, the secret envoy, to be in Fengyi, and Feng Long alone to appease this army, it is strange that Song Yang can rest assured.

In addition, Wuyu Shitai also sent news that things were going well on her side, and now it was time for Guang Dade and Shi Xiaoxiao to prepare to go deep into Hantan in public to salvage the Qingkong Relic Pagoda. Master Wuyu is too capable, and the design of the 'Reincarnation of the Venerable' is all arranged by her, and she doesn't need the help of the feudal lord at all. But it won't be long before Shi Xiaoxiao truly incarnates the reincarnated Venerable, and the feudal town will be busy immediately, and Miaoxiang will be officially built auspiciously, and believers from all walks of life will follow, at least at the beginning, the landlord Song Yang should be at home.

And Lao Gu's side, almost a year before and after the project, the sale of the golden nest has a general appearance, Gu Zhaojun began to invite the gold owner to come, at that time Chang Chunhou must be there, not only to give those gold owners the confidence to invest money in shares, but also the opportunity for Fengyi to make friends with the rich people of Middle Earth.

Song Yang didn't need to explain these specific things to Master Hu, but his next sentence made the old man really a little surprised: "During this period of time, I also plan to read books and learn some skills that I didn't touch the door before." ”

Master Hu was curious: "Reading? What book? ”

"War Strategy, Middle-earth National Situation."
