Chapter 33: Monsters (3)

Concerned about the chaos, Chu Rencheng asked anxiously: "Poison doctor, the emperor didn't say when the Tiger Camp would leave for Jiuyuan." ”

The poison doctor shook his head and said, "I don't know, I overheard this sentence under the window just now, and I was afraid that my father would find out, so I slipped up and told my sister, but I didn't expect the two sisters to be here." ”

Chu Xiaofeng pursed his lips, thought for a long time, and said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and it is estimated that they will have to prepare half a moon of grain and grass before they can set off at the earliest." ”

Pang Wen was also a little worried: "If the two sisters sit down for a while, I will talk to my father, and when he goes to ask His Majesty to take back his life." ”

Chu Xiaofeng shook his head, "How can it be so simple, if it is placed at the turn of spring and summer, this grain and grass can still drag on for a month or two, now the autumn is crisp, the five grains are abundant, and the preparation of half a month is considered long." ”

The poison doctor interjected: "Otherwise, let's make trouble for him, and let him never raise good food and grass, this will be solved." ”

Well

Chu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, good idea, she lacks everything now, she is not short of money, yes, make trouble for them,

A confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of fierceness flashed in Chu Xiaofeng's pretty eyes, "Sister, we will go back right now, and use the four or five hundred people in our hands to frantically purchase all the grain and grass and horses that can be purchased in Xianyang City, hum, hum, let him never raise enough grain and grass for the war." ”

Sister Kang was dumbfounded, and the poison doctor stammered: "Sister Ya'er, how much does that cost, I ...... I'm talking about it. ”

Chu Xiaofeng patted Ying'er's head comfortingly, and said with a smile: "It's not much, the silver that my sister can use on hand is just enough to buy 800,000 stone white rice." ”

As soon as the words came out, the second daughter was completely petrified,

800,000 stones, what is the concept, according to later generations, one stone is equal to about 120 city catties, five stones of white rice is enough for a strong man to eat for a year, 800,000 stones, enough for 100,000 troops to eat for a year, a small tiger camp is only about 30,000 people,

And now the population of Xianyang City is only 600,000, the annual output of white rice is about five million stones, the annual consumption of Xianyang's population is about three million stones, excluding the imperial grain and national taxes, the grain at the disposal of the army is about one million stones, Ya'er wants to buy 800,000 stones, if it is really put into practice, the consequences can be imagined, the emperor can't see her, the transfer of the tiger camp can only be delayed for a long time,

Chu Xiaofeng's character has always been vigorous and resolute, and he can't wait to get the things decided right away, but after all, he has a word with Chu Rencheng first, and he can take all the ideas himself, but when it comes to real money, it is still based on Chu Rencheng's opinion.

Seeing Ya'er's inquiring gaze at him, Chu Rencheng smiled and said, "It's up to you, what is money, you can make money if you don't have it, but there is only one Xianggong." ”

Ya'er was overjoyed when she saw the first lady in charge of the house, and turned her head to the poison doctor and said apologetically: "Sister, thanks to you for reporting the news this time, my sister doesn't know how to thank you." ”

The poison doctor waved his hand and said, "My own sister, what are you polite, in fact, I am also very worried about the safety of my eldest brother." ”

A remark provoked everyone to laugh,

To be a good sister, never use what a gorgeous word of thanks, everything is not in words,

Now that they knew Xianggong's next move, Ya'er and Chu Rencheng were anxious, and they didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly bid farewell to the Kang sisters, and turned to Fu Ji to arrange the purchase of grain.

Looking at the direction where the second daughter was gone, the poison doctor said with some envy: "Sister, when will Ying'er have a husband who makes him willing to give up together?" ”

Pang Wen looked at his sister in amazement, looked up and down as if he didn't know him, and reprimanded: "My daughter's family is not ashamed, how old are you, just think about these things." ”

The poison doctor rolled his eyes, pouted disapprovingly, and said, "I'm not young, I'm seventeen years old, my mother and I were married to my father when I was so old, hum, it's so annoying, ignore you." After speaking, he threw his sleeves and jumped down the embroidery building,

Pang Wen was speechless by his sister's words, shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at his rough hands due to sword practice in a daze, and felt a little sorry for himself, and the smile in his mind became more and more real......

The tiger battalion belongs to the infantry battalion, belongs to the Beijing division soldiers, stationed in the north of Xianyang on the side of Jiuzhi Mountain, Jiuzhi Mountain is an abrupt and rising mountain, piercing the blue sky, the mountain is high and precipitous, its surroundings, evenly distributed with nine mountain beams, arching it high, so it is named Jiuzhi Mountain, this mountain is floating and cuiyong, the strange stones are uneven, the birds are singing in the forest, the goshawk soars on the top of the peak, the flowing spring is flying, the mountains surround, set off the main peak of Jiuzhi lonely and towering,

The establishment of infantry is divided into six levels, namely: five people in a team, with one captain; The second army is what, and the chief is set up; Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief; Two tuns are hundreds, and one hundred generals are set up; five hundred, five hundred masters; 1,000 people, set up 2,500 lords and one person, among them, "2,500 masters" are also called "1,000 people", and the 1,000 people of this mountain are already middle-level officers.

At the beginning, Wuzun and Xia Ke were demoted by the emperor to serve in the tiger camp, which is equivalent to working hard in the military camp, such as raising horses and washing them, carrying knives and transporting grain and grass during soldiers' drills, etc., according to the law of Daqin, they took charge of the army without authorization and forced the palace, which was punished by a thousand knives, but because of the identity of the prince, Wuzun was only sentenced to a full army, and this kind of army was not the kind of wandering thousands of miles in later generations, just a symbolic punishment and training.

However, the Qin Dynasty also had a rule that all prisoners who were convicted of crimes could not use their previous names, so Zhao Long's identity could not be used, and the crooked beating was right, and Wu Zun regained his real name, and Xia Ke relied on the identity of a half-pulled horse, and also followed Wu Zun to stain his light, and was only punished with fifty lashes.

Tens of thousands of prisoners are punished every day in the Great Qin State, all of which are reported by criminal trial officials from all over the country to the Beijing Division, and they are scattered in various barracks, so the identities of the two, except for a few limited military bosses, no one knows their old background,

The night is deep, all the sounds are silent, the stars in the sky are dotted, occasionally there are a few sounds of the iron pieces of armor crashing, that is the patrol soldiers are patrolling, the tent made of cowhide, can sleep ten people, although the early autumn night is gradually cooler, but the mosquitoes are still raging in groups, the centipede that can not bear to bite simply sneaks out, finds a clean place, lies on the pile of corn, bites a millet stalk in his mouth, looks at the bright night sky with wide eyes, stunned,

Today, he is wearing a long shirt, a leather belt around his waist, a shorts and legs tied (that is, leggings), his feet are shallow, and his hair is in a round bun on the right side of his head.

Tomorrow, the seventh day of the seventh month of July, is the annual gladiatorial fight, horse racing, riding and archery in the Daqin ** camp, the law of Daqin stipulates that the soldiers of Daqin, fighting for the country, bravely killing the enemy, this is absolutely commendable, if you are not allowed to fight for private purposes, you are powerless in the country, and you will generally be punished with severe punishment, and this kind of official competition is very popular,

Especially in the ancient Qin State, there was no imperial examination, and the selection of military attachΓ©s was generally carried out in the form of competitions, including gladiatorial fights, mounted archery, horse racing, etc., so the annual seventh day of the seventh month of July has also become the most important day for countless soldiers who want to be generals.

If a convict in the army fights bravely on the battlefield, and every time he beheads an enemy, the one whose parents are slaves is released as a commoner, and the wife who is a slave, is also released, and five enemies are beheaded, and the soldier is promoted to the rank of captain, and in the days when there is no war, the only way to be free is to obtain a certain honor in wrestling, horse racing, riding and archery, etc., otherwise there is no other way out.

Although his father ordered him not to be released for three years, after all, the law handed down by Shang Ying will not be easily changed, there are orders that must be obeyed, and there are laws that must be obeyed, which is also the first feeling after Wuzun entered the barracks.

Chu Rencheng and Ya'er should also go to Xianyang, a low sigh seemed to sound in their hearts, and the long-lost leakage was almost unbearable, Xia Ke was also sent to the Tiger Ben camp, but the dignified camp of 30,000 people was no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Third brother." A suppressed low drink came from behind Wuzun, and with his eyes closed, Wuzun also heard that this was the voice of the Red Tilting City, when he was assigned to the barracks a month ago, he happened to encounter the Red Tilting City from Julu County who was beaten by other prisoners, and saved him, after that, the Red Tilting City, who was only eighteen years old but was born with divine power, became a loyal follower of the Centipede Zun, because he couldn't use his real name, so the Centipede didn't bother to ask the previous name of the Red Tilting City,

"Well, I haven't slept yet." Centipede raised his eyebrows,

Red Tilting City snorted and walked a few steps to Wuzun, lay next to him, tilted his head and said angrily: "Hehe, I can't sleep either, the smell of birds in the tent is too bad, come out and take a breath." ”

"What did you report for tomorrow's game?" Wu Zun adjusted his body and looked at him with interest,

Hong Chengcheng smiled, scratched his scalp a few times, and said: "Wrestling, what I have is strength, it's not a problem to earn a captain." ”

"Hmm." Centipede nodded,

Hong Chengcheng looked at Wuzun for a long time before he said, "Third brother, what are you reporting?" ”

"Riding Archery and Horse Racing......"

"Oxfork." Red Tilt City has been in contact with Centipede for a long time, and gradually learned a handful of words.

"That's right." Wuzun seemed to remember something, and advised: "Come with me when you eat tomorrow, don't go alone, I suspect that their brothers will be drugged." ”

"Drugged." Red Tilt City was a tendon, and said with some incomprehension: "What do you do with the medicine." ”

Wu Zun raised his hand and gave him a violent shudder, and said angrily: "In the Tiger Camp, if you want to say that your martial arts are better than you, I don't know how many, but in terms of wrestling, which one of the prisoners in the whole camp can compare to your strength." ”

Red Allure grinned and didn't say anything,

Wu Zun's words changed sharply and said: "Gang is extremely easy to break, the tree is very windy, be careful that they secretly drug it is not good for you." ”

Hong Chengcheng nodded and said: "I know the third brother, I know why the soldiers were asked to supervise the grain, grass and war horses when Lord Baijiang came today, it turned out that he was afraid that they would secretly make trouble." ”
