Chapter 65: Buqi's heart disease
Chapter 65 Buqi's heart disease
As mentioned last time, Liu Hou took Panyu City, did not go on the Northern Expedition for the time being, and stayed to reorganize the troops first. In addition to a batch of firearms and gunpowder, the baggage team also sent some rattan armor.
Although the vine armor army was very strong and had a very small death rate, it really lost a lot of manpower under the blows of successive battles and floods. He can now replenish the manpower from the baggage team at any time, but if he loses one set, he will lose one set, and he will not be able to replenish it.
Liu Hou began to pay attention to this problem early on, and he asked the vulture bones to send people back to mobilize the whole clan to produce rattan armor, and at the same time, he asked Fei Yiba to pay a large amount of money and food to send to the vulture bone clan as a reward for the production of rattan armor.
After almost a year of production, the first batch of about 2,000 rattan armors has now been produced, and this batch of rattan armor just replenishes the losses of the vine armor army during this time, so that the vine armor army can barely recover to the level of 30,000 people.
Along with this batch of rattan armor, there are also some veterans of the vulture bone clan who make rattan armor, and with these skilled craftsmen, some broken rattan armor can be repaired. After all, many times, the rattan armor is only partially damaged, and the rest of the world is still fine, and it would be a pity to throw away the entire set of rattan armor like this.
Now with these craftsmen, they only need to replace a few rattan branches, and they can quickly repair the damaged parts of the rattan armor, which greatly improves the service life of the rattan armor. Liu Hou was very happy and incorporated them into the artisan battalion with the army and gave them high treatment.
Since then, the people of the vultures have gradually formed a new industry, which is the manufacture of rattan armor. Since Liu Hou was well paid, they found that the remuneration they received from making rattan armor allowed them to get enough food and money to buy daily necessities without having to go hunting or farming. Life is more than a step richer than it used to be.
As a result, they gradually abandoned their original way of life, and the entire tribe gradually became a large military-industrial group, and there was only one product - the rattan armor worn by the rattan armor army that made the whole world fearful.
The general direction is grasped by Liu Hou, and the specific implementation naturally has Fei Yi's hard work and a group of officials to do it. After instructing some major events, Liu Hou can be the shopkeeper again.
On this day, he was idle, so he thought about visiting Zhou Xue. Zhou Xue originally arranged a house for her to live in Buqi, but now she still lives there, and Liu Hou quickly found her with a personal soldier who knew the situation to lead the way.
When he arrived at Zhou Xue's boudoir, Liu Hou left the two columns of personal soldiers who followed behind him outside, and took Zhao Tong into the room himself. Zhou Xue was sitting in the room with a sad face, and Liu Hou was startled when he saw her appearance.
I saw that Zhou Xue had messy hair, a sallow face, and two panda eyes, how haggard and haggard she was, just like taking the college entrance examination during the day and taking the IELTS test at night, and the first test was to take the test for three days and three nights without sleeping.
"How did you get so haggard?" Liu Hou asked bitterly.
When Zhou Xue saw Liu Hou coming in, she just nodded, neither got up to greet nor salute, and said directly: "It's not Uncle Bu who made trouble, he is now bent on death, I can't persuade him, and now he hasn't eaten or drunk for three days." ”
"Oh, this old guy has such strong willpower? Can you bear not to eat or drink? There's a kind of him. Liu Hou said sarcastically.
"Why are you like this, and you are still ridiculing him at this time. By the way, you have the most tricks, you need to find a way to save him. ”
"Why should I save him? He's my enemy, okay? You say, how much trouble he has caused me, if it weren't for him, I would have occupied Lingnan a long time ago, and I would have sent troops to the north a long time ago. Also, this person is very hostile to me and always thinks about how to kill me. Didn't I feel uncomfortable when I saved him? ”
"Why? You can get a first-class talent. If you think about it, if he has the ability to cause trouble for you, it proves that he is also a capable person, isn't it, if you can get his allegiance, you will have an extra capable subordinate out of thin air, why not do such a thing? ”
For Zhou Xue's words, Liu Hou was very useful and moved, and Zhou Xue's words were faintly suspicious of sycophancy. These words clearly mean that Bu Qi is very capable, but it implies that Liu Hou is very powerful, and there are not many people in this world who have the ability to make trouble for him, and Bu Qi is one of them.
These words were all praised, and Liu Hou was secretly held to the sky, which was really the highest level of sycophancy. Liu Hou didn't know whether Zhou Xue said this intentionally or unintentionally, but he preferred to believe that she said it unintentionally. According to her usual cold personality and attitude of ignoring herself, Liu Hou felt that she would not deliberately shoot her own horses.
"It's not that I refuse to save him, he is a heart disease, and heart disease is the most difficult to treat."
"Hmph, don't you always like to brag about how capable you are, how great you are, and how you will dominate the world in the future. It turned out to be all bragging, and when it encountered actual problems, it was revealed. ”
"This, this, how can this be the same? This is the treatment of diseases and heart diseases, which is completely different from governing the country and fighting wars, where is there comparison. Liu Hou was a little ashamed of her.
"It's different, people say, 'If you don't look good, you can be a good doctor'. Doesn't it mean that even if you don't learn how to govern the country well, it's okay to come back and be a doctor to treat diseases. What else is 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', doesn't it mean that governing the country is similar to cooking and cooking?
Since you boast that you can govern the country, can't you even cure a minor illness? So, you're usually a liar and bragging. ”
"Uh......" Liu Hou was completely defeated by her, do these two famous sayings explain it like this? However, it seems that this explanation is not unreasonable......
"I must have a solution, but as I said just now, why should I save him. Don't say that you can get him as a talent, I really don't have a talent like him who doesn't take the lives of the people seriously. Unless ......"
As he spoke, Liu Hou glanced up and down on Zhou Xue's body, revealing a look that you understand.
"Hmph, what are you thinking about?"
"Alas, what more crooked mind can I do? You've promised countless times before, what to warm the bed, what to promise by yourself, what to serve the pillow, but how did you do it? Since I can't do it, no matter how much I think about it, is it useful to say that more conditions are useful? ”
"How can my words not count?"
"Well, if you're a man of words, then I'd like to say, if I can cure him, you can warm my bed."
"Hmph, Lingnan is so hot, what kind of bed is warm? You're so beautiful. ”
"Look, look, I'll just say, you don't admit all the things you promised before."
"Where did I promise anything, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Xue said angrily.
Liu Hou thought about it, it seemed that it was true, she didn't explicitly agree to anything every time, but Liu Hou wishfully thought that she had acquiesced.
"Will you help or not?"
Seeing that Zhou Xue was about to be angry, Liu Hou had no choice but to say: "Okay, I have a way, give it a try, if it doesn't work, I don't dare to pack a ticket, let's be a dead horse doctor." ”
Liu Hou and Zhou Xue soon came to an ordinary room, the room was very ordinary, and the furnishings inside were also ordinary, but the two guards standing at the door seemed a little unusual.
This is the place where Bu Qi is under house arrest, Bu Qi is in the room, but he is no longer tied hand and foot, there are no sharp weapons or hard objects in the room, and there are two soldiers watching, it is not so easy for him to commit suicide.
When Liu Hou and the others entered the room, they saw that Bu Qi was lying on the bed, without eating or drinking for three days and three nights, and he was already dying.
"Looks like you're pretty comfortable, and you sleep in broad daylight. Poor I'm so busy day and night, so busy that I don't even have enough time to sleep. Liu Hou walked to the bed, and when he saw Bu Qi closed his eyes, he didn't come anywhere.
Hearing this snarky voice, Bu Qi opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Liu Houdao, and said, "Are you here to humiliate me?" ”
Buqi's voice was hoarse and faint, like the last words of a long-ailing man when he confessed his last words.
"Humiliating you? Do you think you deserve to be humiliated by me? I'm here to please her. Liu Hou pointed to Zhou Xuedao behind. Zhou Xue lowered her head in shame and didn't say a word.
"Hmph, disloyal and unfilial people." Bu Qi glanced at Zhou Xue and snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xue didn't react, it is estimated that in the past few days, she has heard a lot of such ugly words, and she has long been numb, but Liu Hou was angry when she heard this:
"You are disloyal and unfilial, why should you criticize Xue Xue. Not only are you disloyal and unfilial, but you are also cruel and unkind, and it is appropriate for you to use all the words that can be added to the devil in disregard of human life. Even if you're a person with a bad character, you're embarrassed to criticize others.
Do you not repent to this day? Haven't you realized how wrong you really did by now? Haven't you figured out how unconscionable you are? ”
"The old man defends the land for the country and is loyal to the king, what's wrong? Even after a hundred years and a thousand years, my loyal name will inevitably be left in the history books. ”
"Haha, ridiculous, your name will indeed be left in the history books in the future, but it is not the name of loyalty, it is the name of the rebellious minister and thief. Whether you admit it or not, your country is not a real country, it is just a piece of territory that was cut from my Great Han Kingdom.
This land belongs to our descendants of the Liu family, and sooner or later I will take back the land that belongs to our descendants of the Liu family.
Therefore, you are not defending the land, you are tearing the land, and you are trying to tear a piece of territory from my Great Han Kingdom.
Besides, your claim of loyalty is also very stupid. There are no two days, there are no two lords of the people, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still sitting on the dragon chair, since you are full of poetry and books, how can you not understand the rules at all. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the real king of all peoples, you don't want to be loyal, you just go to be loyal to a rebellious minister and thief. ”
"Humph! The Han Dynasty has long been decayed, and the virtuous people in this world live in it. Back then, Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it, and now the situation is so similar, Han also lost its deer, who can't chase it? Everyone understands people, why do you bother to talk about things with those big words.
Besides, if you want to deal with me, this trick will not work, you are just using your tongue in vain. If you have anything, just say it, and get out of it when you're done."
"Hehe, step old man, his temper is good.
