Shangguan Xiu told Shangguan Hong about the family being demoted from Shangjing and sent to Zhenjun, and then talked about his experience over the years. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Listening to him talk about the day before he was knighted for saving the driver, and the next day he was knighted because of the succession of the new monarch, Shangguan Hongdu, Shangguan Qingyan and Xiao Jue Wu Yufei should be Ziyin, and everyone was also shocked.

These experiences were never mentioned to anyone by Shangguan Xiu, and it was only when he saw his relatives of the same clan that he told the story in such detail.

After he finished speaking, Shangguan Hong pinched the cold sweat for him, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, patted Shangguan Xiu's shoulder, and said, "Ah Xiu, you are alone in the Wind Country, it's really difficult for you." ”

Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "Uncle Tai, how have you been doing in Tia all these years?"

Shangguan Hong laughed. The position of the Shangguan family in Tia has never been shaken, but it has gradually moved from the bright side to the ground. The Shangguan family is a hereditary marquis, and the current Shangguan Hongdu is a marquis. In addition, the Shangguan family also inherited the post of finance minister of Tia.

The current Chancellor of Finance in Tia, Count Helms, is named Shangguan Hongyan and is Shangguan Hongdu's younger brother. For hundreds of years, the Shangguan family has been in control of Tia's currency issuance, and the Shangguan family's own gold and silver reserves are an important part of Tia's national gold and silver reserves.

The Shangguan family's ability to endure in Tia is not only due to its own efforts, but also directly related to the family's control of Tia's economic lifeline. Shangguan Hongdu said to Shangguan Xiu Zhengse: "Ah Xiu, in the country of wind, a companion is like a tiger, and there is a worry about his life at any time, but it is not the case in Tia, in the future, you can stay in Tia." ”héiyāпgê

Shangguan Xiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My home is in Zhenjun, and besides, the brothers of hundreds of thousands of Zhenjun soldiers are still in Zhenjun, how can I stay in Tia?"

Shangguan Hongdu said quietly: "The descendants of the Shangguan family have contributed enough to the Wind Country, and now the Wind Country is full of holes, it is like a pavilion in the air, the building is falling, and it will not be long before you return to the Wind Country, Ah Xiu, what can you do when you return to the Wind Country?"

Shangguan Xiu said: "If the Wind Country collapses, is this really a good thing for Tia? The Wind Country collapses, can Tia really be ** from now on, and will never be invaded by foreign tribes again? No, Besa in the north, Ningnan in the southwest, which one is not eyeing Tia, even if Tia gets rid of the rule of the Wind Country, Besa and Ningnan will invade and continue to rule Tia, and their rule will really be more enlightened than the rule of the Wind Country? I don't think it is necessary. Now in the rule of the Wind Country, Tia is largely self-governing, and if the ruler is replaced by Besa or Ningnan, there are too many variables, but it is difficult to get better, I am afraid, it will only get worse. ”

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiu could say such a thing, Shangguan Hong was really surprised, he was only twenty years old, but he could have such an outstanding vision, which was very surprising.

Regarding the risk assessment after the fall of the Wind Country, the Tia court has done many big discussions, but just like Shangguan Xiu said, once the Wind Country dies quickly, it is definitely not a good thing for Tia, and both Besa and Ningnan may invade, and even, Tia may become a battlefield between Besa and Ningnan, bringing a devastating disaster to Tia.

Shangguan Hongdu said slowly: "It's just that the decline of the Wind Country has been on the verge of collapse. Now the court of the Wind Country is changing the old and the new, turbulent, the domestic rebellion in the Wind Country is everywhere, the court is helpless, and the outside of the Wind Country, there is Ningnan in the west, ready to go, and there is the border of the Besa Tun soldiers in the north, with bad intentions, the current Wind Country, who can save it?"

"I!" Shangguan Xiu didn't even think about it, and immediately continued, "The Wind Country was not only founded by the Holy Ancestor Emperor, but also built up by the heroes of the Shangguan family with blood and sweat, I must not tolerate the collapse and destruction of the Wind Country in my generation, so I have no shame to meet the ancestors of the Shangguan family." ”

"But, Ah Xiu, what do you rely on to save it? only rely on the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of your Zhenjun army?" Shangguan Hongdu asked slowly.

"In the national war, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the local army are not worth mentioning, so I came to Tia. Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and said, "I came to Tia, first, to find relatives, and second, to learn art. ”

"Learn art?" Shangguan Hong couldn't help laughing and asked, "Ah Xiu, do you say that you have to learn art?"

"Tia's technology, all kinds of technology. Shangguan Xiu said with a straight face.

Shangguan Hong rubbed his chin and muttered: "Tia's technique? Is it really worth learning?" The court of the Wind Country has always looked down on Tia's technology, previously said that it was witchcraft, and then said that it was the small skill of the barbarians in the wasteland, it is not worth mentioning, the Wind Country is the upper country, and it is not a laughing stock to learn the art from the subject country of the land of projectiles?"

Hearing the mockery in his words, Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, it seems that the descendants of Yuan Rang's ancestors have really been assimilated by Tia, and now they have no sense of identity with the Wind Country, and they are completely speaking from Tia's position.

He said: "Uncle Tai, I don't care what others say, I only know that the only thing that can save the Wind Country now is Tia's advanced technology." ”

Shangguan Hong rubbed his chin, pondered for a long time, and said quietly: "This is just the words of your family, not the meaning of the Imperial Court of the Wind Country." ”

"It's enough, even if it's just my family's words, it's enough to introduce Tia's technology to Zhenjun and develop it in Zhenjun in an all-round way......"

Before he finished his words, Shangguan Hong waved his hand and said: "Ah Xiu, if it is a private matter, you have traveled all the way to Tiya to ask Uncle Tai for help, and Uncle Tai will definitely do everything to help you, but now, you are here to talk about state affairs." ”

In other words, the matter he asked for had already touched the fundamental interests of the Wind Country, and it was not appropriate for Shangguan Xiu to talk about these in a private capacity.

"Uncle Tai ......"

"Okay, Ah Xiu, you haven't had lunch yet, and coming to your uncle's house is like going back to your own house. As he spoke, Shangguan Hongdu turned his head and called, "Andrew." ”

"Your Excellency. Andrew, the butler, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "You go and arrange a banquet, and also, get Qingshan Qingyuan and them back, Ah Xiu can come today, but it is a big event for my Shangguan family. ”

"Yes, my lord!" the master was happy, and Andrew was also excited, and he agreed and went to Zhang Luo immediately.

Shangguan Hongdu is not only a daughter of Shangguan Qingyan, but also Shangguan Qingshan and Shangguan Qingyuan's two sons, the youngest daughter Shangguan Qingfang.

At the banquet, Shangguan Hongdu's wife also appeared, and the old lady's name was Sara; Adesidi, just listening to the surname Adesti, you can know that she was born in the Tia royal family, and it can naturally be seen from this that the Tia royal family attaches great importance to the Shangguan family.

The old lady and Shangguan Hong are both of the same age, and they are also fifty years away, among the children on the knees, Shangguan Qingshan is the oldest, twenty-five or sixteen, tall and mighty, Shangguan Qingyuan is the same age as Shangguan Xiu, with a lively temperament, Shangguan Qingfang is the youngest, at best eleven or twelve years old, innocent and cute.

Shangguan Xiu met everyone one by one, and then sat down at the dining table one after another. Shangguan Hongdu, as the parent, sat on the main seat in the middle, Shangguan Xiu sat on his left hand side as a guest of honor, the old lady Salad sat on his right hand, and then in the back row, it was Qingshan Qingyuan Qingyan Qingfang, and then Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others.

During the banquet, Shangguan Hong seemed very happy, talking and laughing, chatting with Shangguan Xiu about the anecdote of Shangguan's family in Tia, Sara didn't talk much, but she was very careful, afraid that Shangguan Xiu and others would not be used to knives and forks, and specially asked the servants to prepare chopsticks, Shangguan Qingshan is a brother, and he is also very calm, cherishing words like gold, Shangguan Qingyuan is just the opposite, chatting happily with Shangguan Xiu, as for Shangguan Qingfang, he is too young, and he is afraid and curious about Shangguan Xiu, a stranger who suddenly visited, and a pair of big black eyes kept rolling on him。

After the meal, the strangeness of the crowd was shortened a lot.

Although everyone's appearance is completely different, on one side is a typical Tia, and on the other side is an orthodox wind person, but the bond of blood is continuous. In addition, the people of the Shangguan family can speak fluent wind language, even Sara's wind language can be called proficient, and there is no problem in communicating with each other.

When drinking tea after the meal, Shangguan Qingyuan sat next to Shangguan Xiu and said with a smile: "This time the national war between the Wind Country and Ningnan, the Wind Country suffered a big loss with inferior skills, and was defeated by Ningnan with an old-fashioned firecracker, I heard that several regiments of the Central Army were completely wiped out, and now there are still hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Ningnan!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Shangguan Xiu's heart moved when he heard this, and Qingyuan said that Ning Nan used an old-fashioned firecracker, which meant that Tia had a more advanced weapon than a firecracker. He asked curiously, "Qingyuan, Tia also has a fire gun?"

If it is called according to the generation, Shangguan Xiu has to call Shangguan Qingyuan grandpa, but the two are the same age, so it is too unusual, Shangguan Hong just let Shangguan Xiu call him by his name.

"Fire gun?" Qingyuan laughed when he heard this, looked at Qing Shan, who was sitting on the side, drinking tea silently, and said: "As early as when thunder mercury and fire caps were not invented, they may also be called fire guns, but with the development of thunder mercury fire cap rifling and other technologies, it is no longer called fire guns, but muskets." ”

"Musket ......"

"There are too many problems with the gun, it can't be used in rainy days, gunpowder storage is difficult, and it is often damp, in addition, the breech charge is too slow, but the musket is not, without these problems, it can be used normally in rainy days, and the gun is short, easy to carry, long range, powerful and so on. When Qingyuan talked about muskets, he was like a few treasures, and he talked endlessly.

Many of the terms he said were unheard of by Shangguan Xiu. Qingshan let go of the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "But the musket is too difficult to make, with the technology of the Wind Country, it is not bad to be able to make five ten guns a year, even if it is to make a simple fire gun, it is not an easy task for the Wind Country." ”

Although his words were ugly, they were true, which was why Shangguan Xiu traveled thousands of miles to Tia to introduce technology.
