Chapter 256: Marriage

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist each other in the twenty years of vertical and horizontal, hatred and madness, the long knife goes, how many siblings are loyal to the bones of other places, what a pity to die to repay the country, endure sighs, more speechless, blood and tears are full of eyes, the horse's hooves go south, people look north, people look north, the grass is green and yellow, the dust is flying, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate ......"

In the study.

Qin Huaidao sang loudly, sonorous and powerful, with a fine light in his eyes, as if he had returned to the past eventful years, defending the country with his comrades-in-arms, and spilling blood on the battlefield, as if he saw his comrades-in-arms falling, his back hurt, singing to the depths of his love, and a line of tears rolled down.

The women seemed to see the tragic battlefield, and saw the unyielding warriors raising their swords and guns in their hands, rushing forward heroically, looking at death as home, and spilling their blood on the earth.

It turns out that the tune can still be sung like this!

Actually, there is such a song in this world?

Compared with the soft words and moans sung in the past, this is the real tune, which is inspiring, exciting, tear-jerking and making people forge ahead.

Although the lyrics are different from those sung in the past, they are not even enough to fight, refined, and lack poetry, and they seem too plain in the Tang Dynasty, where poetry is prevalent, but they are easy to understand, which is enough.

If the song sung in the past is for talented and beautiful people to hear, pay attention to elegance, this song is sung for the people to listen, easy to understand, but can be sung all over the world, passed on to future generations, if you learn, wouldn't it also follow the history to leave a name?

Everyone saw the value of this song, and their hearts were shocked, but they didn't expect Qin Huaidao to not only sing, but also sing completely differently, this is to start singing a new genre, Dong'er couldn't help but say: "Huguogong, this song is unheard of, it must be created by Huguogong, it is really good to sing, sing out the heroism and ambition of the soldiers, and sing the pursuit and responsibility of the Tang boys, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn, and I will insult your tunes and intentions." ”

Another woman also said: "Protector of the country, I am afraid that this piece will not be able to be expressed by the musical instrument in my hand, and it lacks the momentum of Jin Ge Iron Horse." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at the musical instruments in everyone's hands, there are pipa, erhu, flute, flute, se, qin, xun, sheng, all of which are good at women, the voice is not high-pitched enough, suitable for playing love and love tunes, this kind of hot-blooded, high-pitched tunes are almost meaningful, you have to use drum instruments.

Thinking of the drum Qin Huaidao couldn't help but think of the drum kit, that thing is Qin Huaidao's favorite, he mixed the music club for a period of time during school, and he played the drum kit, and it was not difficult to make it, of course, the sound effect is definitely not as good as that of later generations, but it can also be used to make it around, and then get the guitar out, which is more perfect.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao said: "You can use these instruments in your hands as supplements, the main voice still has to be a big drum, go back and buy some, I will teach you to play, you learn this song first, whose voice is suitable, who is the lead singer, and the others sing harmony." ”

"What is harmony?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Backing singers, you'll know when you get back, go on." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and taught everyone to sing sentence by sentence.

They are all people who practice and sing music since they were young, they have been singing for more than ten years, and they have a deep foundation, and they quickly learned, Qin Huaidao learned so quickly, and he also came with interest, and taught everyone a song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", which is also enthusiastic and heroic, and equally passionate.

When everyone learned to leave, it was not early.

Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao ate something and went to the shop in the west courtyard, beating and beating, the drum kit has 3-7 drums, 2-4 cymbals, including bass drums, hi-hats, small snare drums, bucket drums, hanging cymbals, etc., the conditions are not enough, the drums can only be made of wood and cowhide, and the cymbals can be replaced by iron refining into steel sheets, and the sound quality is definitely not as good as the professional level, but I don't have a big problem.

There are blacksmiths and carpenters in the house, and several people join forces to make a prototype at the end of the day, and the next thing is to polish, especially the cymbals, which must be fine and not in a hurry.

The next day, Qin Huaidao taught everyone how to polish, tinkered with the guitar by himself, the guitar was made of wooden boards, the most difficult thing was the string, this thing must be made of steel wire, wire drawing is a technical job, and there is a kind of sheep intestine string, which is to use the internal mucosa of the sheep's intestines to draw into very fine fibers, and then after chemical treatment, washing, gluing and other processes, the timbre of the sheep intestine strings is the best, but the production is also troublesome.

Fortunately, there are enough people in the house, Qin Huaidao decided to try both, the one that can be made and the other that can be used.

At noon, Wei Chi Baolin came in a hurry, and saw that Qin Huaidao was making something up, he was dirty, where was the Guogong like, he couldn't understand what he was doing, and he didn't care, so he said anxiously: "Brother Qin, many Guogong sent people to bring silver, but a lot of them are in the official office of the Ministry of Communications, what is the situation?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin didn't know about borrowing silver, Qin Huaidao didn't explain much, and advised: "Count the points, write a receipt, and I'll deal with it when I go back, the saint promised to allocate seven hundred Lin Wei to be transferred to the patrol department, have you arrived?" ”

"When I arrived, Luo Zhang was taking the guards, so I don't feel at ease with so much silver."

"Let Luo Zhang transfer 300 to guard the safety of the Ministry of Communications, and let him personally take care of the silver, which is used for road construction, and cannot be careless." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"It was for road construction, yes

In the future, if you want to be an official or participate in the scientific examination, you must first intern, and only if you are qualified, Wang Gonggong came to the Ministry of Communications to ask how many people are needed for internship? What kind of charter is this? Yu Chi Baolin asked curiously.

Qin Huaidao laughed when he heard this, this Li Er moved very quickly, and explained: "You are familiar with the sons of Xungui, there are those who are willing to come, and those who are willing to endure hardships will be accepted, and then go to Guozijian to select a group of people with excellent arithmetic grades to give you a hand, and they will all go to the road to build and practice, help calculate accounts, count, and help, and have the right secret attention, and will be transferred to the Ministry of Communications in the future, understand?" ”

"Got it." Yu Chi Baolin understood it thoroughly, immediately thought of a lot, hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "After knowing a lot of nobles, they inevitably have a habit of being stubborn." ”

"Don't be afraid, we have the right to judge, if you give a bad review, your career will be broken, if you really dare to jump, then don't blame us for not being emotional, you make it clear in advance, in addition, don't have the eldest son as much as possible."

Yu Chi Baolin understood as soon as he heard it, the eldest son has the right to inherit, and he will inherit the family property and title of the elders in the future, and he is not afraid of bad reviews, plus he has a family mission, if he really gives a bad review, he will offend people, and the eldest son of the second and third children is different, he has no inheritance right, and he will work harder when he sees the hope of rising.

In addition, 10,000 baskets made of bamboo chips, 10,000 sledgehammers, chisels, and small hammers for smashing stones, 5,000 hoes and other tools for road construction, and inform your father that after three days, 20,000 troops will accompany you, and complete the relevant procedures, and you need tents for 20,000 people to live in and five days of rations, which will be dragged by horse-drawn carts." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"Remember, let's do it." Yu Chi Baolin left in a hurry.

After sending away Yu Chi Baolin, Qin Huaidao continued to busy himself with his own business.

In the afternoon, an unexpected person came to visit, sitting in a carriage, walking through the side door, looking like he didn't want to be discovered, Qin Huaidao didn't expect King Wei to come back, but he still met him in the study.

As soon as he sat down, King Wei said bluntly: "Lord Qin, I took the liberty to visit, and I also invited Haihan, there is something I have thought about for a few days, and I decided to come and tell you in person." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Qin Huaidao asked quietly.

"The subordinate in the house smashed your shop, this king said that you may not be convinced if you don't know, and this king does not explain, admit it, and is willing to compensate another 10,000 gold, hoping to be forgiven."

Qin Huaidao's eyes condensed slightly, looked at King Wei and said with a smile: "King Wei said that you are laughing, you have already made compensation for this matter, and the past will be turned over." ”

"No, no, no...... After all, this matter has had an impact on the Protectorate Mansion, and it is the king's laxity that should be compensated, and this 10,000 gold king hopes to make a friend of Lord Qin, I don't know if this king has this honor. ”

Qin Huaidao was puzzled, what is this trouble?

After thinking about it, Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "King Wei, it is an honor for me to be friends with King Wei, but there are rules in the imperial court, you can't make friends with the prince, otherwise you know the consequences." ”

"That's right, it's the king who is presumptuous." King Wei was not angry, and continued with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't be a friend, you have to ask Lord Qin to accept this ten thousand gold, by the way, this king will go to the fief next month, and it will be rare to come to Chang'an when the time comes. ”

"To the fiefdom?" Qin Huaidao was stunned, and reluctantly reacted that this was the effect of his words, Li Er made a decision, this Li Tai is not dead, he wants to use 10,000 gold to make a good fate, and intends to do it in the future.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, was quietly observing Qin Huaidao, and when he saw Qin Huaidao, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know it in advance, and was suddenly shocked, could it be that he guessed wrong? If it weren't for the person in front of him, why would his father suddenly change so much?

The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent.

Qin Huaidao reacted quickly and said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity, you must come to the door, but you can't accept the silver, and if the saint knows it, this official can't afford the consequences." ”

"It is the honor of this king to have Lord Qin come to the door, since Lord Qin insists, then forget the silver, and this king will not bother if he has something to do." King Wei got up as he spoke, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, pretending to remember, and added: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot, the person who smashed your shop is actually the eyeliner arranged by the prince in the mansion, and the king only found out after the past two days of investigation, but after all, it is the person of the mansion, and this mistake is admitted by the king." ”

Seeing King Wei leave, Qin Huaidao's eyes were coldβ€”the last words are the point, right?

Obviously, he already suspected what he said in front of the saint, causing the other party to go to the fiefdom, but he came to the door without anything, and when he came up, he admitted his mistake first, put on a posture of friendship, worried that it was not enough, and took out 10,000 gold to show his sincerity, all for the latter sentence to pave the way, and it was really worthy of the King of Wei, so calculating!

Maybe even his refusal of 10,000 gold is accurate, such a deep city, such a deep calculation.

If it is used in the right way, it may really be able to compete for the prince and ascend to the throne, but it is a pity that he secretly made friends with the five surnames and the big family, which touched Li Er's political backlash.

However, as soon as the King of Wei leaves, history will be unrecognizable, will the prince still rebel?

Thinking of this, Qin Huai

Dao was inexplicably a little worried, and his eyes were cold.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and He'er's pleasant inquiry: "Young master, it's time for dinner, do you want to send this person over, or go to the restaurant." ”

"Send it." Qin Huai replied and continued to ponder, it seems that he has to increase his efforts to cultivate his forces just in case, the prince can do anything if he goes crazy.

Not long after, He'er brought a few maids to bring the meal and put it on the table.

Qin Huaidao motioned for the maids to leave first, and told He'er: "There is a tea mountain in Jingyang County, the Holy One wants to reward me, and the Holy Decree will come down in these two days, and when the Holy Decree arrives, you ask Uncle Jia to transfer two trustworthy people from the house to manage it, recruit some people to clean up the weeds on the spot, and take care of the tea house, and there will be tea in the future." ”

"Remembered." He'er hurriedly agreed.

"Why are your hands black?" Qin Huaidao asked curiously.

He'er spread out her hands to see that it was indeed a little dark, and smiled awkwardly: "I washed the wool with my sisters in the workshop just now, there are too many dirty things, and there are blood stains, it is difficult to wash them, maybe it was left." ”

"What do you wash with?"

"Pancreas, that thing is not cheap, and it can't be cleaned, but if you don't use it, you can't wash it, and the young master said that it must be cleaned, so I have to give up this cost." He'er quickly explained.

Pancreas is a kind of "soap" made of pig's pancreas that can wash clothes, after taking out the pig's pancreas, take out the fat attached to the pancreas, wash the clean pig pancreas and mash it, add sugar, soda ash and a small amount of soybean flour, and then add water to make a puree, rub it into a pill, and dry it in the sun to use.

Pork is too fat, lowly, no one eats, plus the people themselves can't eat, there is no surplus grain to raise, there are not many people who raise pigs, pig pancreas are scarce, but it has become a rarity, the price is not cheap, only high-ranking officials and nobles, rich and noble people will use pancreatic pulp to wash clothes.

Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up, if soap was made, wouldn't it be able to solve the problem of pulping and washing wool, and there would be one more way to make money? It takes a lot of money to build roads, and it's not enough for the public to borrow it, and I'm worried that there is no place to make quick money, isn't this coming?

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao said: "Who do you ask in the house to go to Qinjiazhuang, let Brother Xue come over, and make some items for you to wash, it is better than pancreas, and the extra ones are sold in the shop, and they are also always a piece of silver." ”

"Great, then we'll have the cost left." He'er was overjoyed and hurried away.

Qin Huaidao finished eating in two bites, picked up the pen and paper and wrote, soap making is very easy, first put water and caustic soda in the pot, and after the alkali is all melted, add grease to continue heating, and keep stirring, pork fat is the best, it is really not good, mutton fat is also OK.

After the materials in the pot are boiled, change to low heat to continue heating, and constantly stir to make the oil fully saponified, this process takes a whole day, the sodium of advanced fatty acids generated in the process is the main component of soap, and after the saponification of the materials in the pot is completed, put salt into the pot, and stir to fully dissolve the salt, and promote the condensation of the soap base.

Take out the standing material, take out the upper layer of soap liquid when out of the pot, put it in the box (or model) containing soap, and wait for it to slowly solidify and form, and after molding, it is soap.

Like selling consistent silver, soap must have some characteristics, such as adding spices, smelling better, bigger, can be used for a longer time, this can be achieved with a model, but it is not difficult, add some words such as wealth and auspiciousness on the surface, the effect will be better, and the model can also be achieved.

Qin Huaidao noted the key points in detail, drew the model style, and marked the size.

After waiting for a while, Xue Rengui hurriedly came over, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Young Master, are you looking for me?" ”

"This is the recipe for making soap, and I will also hand it over to you to make, so keep it secret, how is the paper?" Qin Huaidao handed the recipe up and asked.

Xue Rengui solemnly took it, didn't care about taking a closer look, put it away closely, and was grateful for Qin Huaidao's trust, and replied, "It's being studied, it may take some time." ”

"This matter is really not urgent, but it can be expanded, more people try, in this way, you discuss with Huang Lao, find a piece of land to build a wall to enclose it, build some rooms inside to make a workshop, the area is larger, specifically responsible for the production of paper and soap, people look for Huang Lao and Zhao Shuwen, remember, no men, all workers must sign a 30-year employment document, and there are confidentiality clauses, once leaked, check the house, be stricter to prevent leakage, the workers will tentatively set a consistent amount of silver every month, and give some rewards at the end of the year." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"How is this reward determined?" Xue Rengui asked curiously.

"According to the usual performance, such as not asking for leave, not being late for work, doing fast and good, helping others, not spreading rumors, you arrange people to track and register every day, make records, check in the future, reward 100 yuan for the best performance, wait for others, and see the profit."

"I understand, with such a high reward, I must have worked hard." Xue Rengui said with a smile.

"Don't be tired of everyone, go to work at the end of the day, leave work at the time of the unitary, rest at the time of the child, work for four hours a day, and hand it over to He'er for arrangement after it is done." Qin Huaidao reminded that although 996 is the pursuit of capitalists, Qin Huaidao's heart is not ruthless enough, eight hours

That's enough.

"That's too easy, you can still have a month of money, you must rush to sign up, who to use and who not to use, it is not easy to choose when the time comes." Xue Rengui sighed.

"How many you want, I'm still worried about the lack of manpower, once the paper and soap research the formula and process, I will let it go, the world is so big, it is needed everywhere, maybe I have to recruit people." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Then we can help many people survive." ”

Qin Huaidao didn't expect that Xue Rengui didn't think of making money, but that he could help many people, but he was a person who was worried about the world, and he was originally guilty of not taking it to the battlefield to kill the Quartet, and staying by his side to do trivial things.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao advised: "There are still many homeless children in Chang'an City, no father and mother, early and unsafe, you quietly contact, take them to Qinjiazhuang, the right age to lose the Zhuang team, the others stay to work, the treatment is the same, the team has expanded to five hundred, but it must be kept secret." ”

Xue Rengui knew the severity of it, and once it was exposed, he would be charged with raising an armed force without permission, which would be tantamount to a rebellion, so he hurriedly agreed: "I understand, there is a reason to use labor as a cover, and suddenly there are more people, and no one cares, but the place where you live is a problem." ”

"Build more houses in the workshop, make it a shop, and the village protection team will live in it in the future, and manage it in a unified way in the way of the regular army, Zhao Shuwen can use it, you can take it, and if you can't use it, you can cultivate other people, once the business is bigger, people who are not trustworthy can't." Qin Huaidao admonished.

Xue Rengui knew that Qin Huaidao was putting his net worth and life on himself, so he was grateful, so he quickly nodded and agreed, chatted a few words and hurriedly went back to Qinjiazhuang.

Qin Huaidao went to the West Courtyard to continue to build drum kits and guitars, and until he couldn't see clearly at night, he went to the study to continue to teach everyone to sing and ponder the soundtrack together.

Three days passed without realizing it.

It was a sunny morning with a gentle breeze.

Qin Huaidao rode to the outside of the city, and saw Luo Zhang and Yu Chi Baolin, who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the seven hundred Yu Lin Wei who accompanied them, and now they were the people of the patrol department, one by one, riding war horses, their bodies were straight, their eyes were calm, they were as immobile as a mountain, and there were many young men dressed in brocade looking around, with curiosity, they should be interns.

The carriages lined up, and the money borrowed from the carriage was the advance money used to repair the road, and it was not clear how long Qin Huaidao could last, so he could only wait for the money to make money in the house paper, soap, liquor, quilts and boots.

"Let's go!"

Qin Huaidao gave an order, and the team walked slowly along the official road.

Wei Chi Baolin came up immediately, walked side by side, and said in a low voice: "Brother, the target of 20,000 troops is too big to appear near Chang'an City, so as not to cause a riot, and come around from other places. ”

The army is a well-trained soldier, if there is really something to do on the road, the seven hundred feathers Lin Wei can't control it, Qin Huaidao nodded understandingly, looked at the intern and asked, "Are they okay?" ”

"It should be no problem, they know a little bit about the details, if they really dare to jump, let's give him a bad review, dare to mess around and beat them to death." Yu Chi Baolin said nonchalantly.

"Look at it, don't make a mess, although we are not afraid, but if there is a mess, our faces have nothing to do with it, maybe it will be magnified." Qin Huaidao admonished, looking back at Luo Zhang.

Luo Zhang pinched the horse's belly and urged him to come immediately.

"The people in the patrol department are all in your charge, two things, be optimistic about the silver, and be optimistic about them."

"Understand, whoever dares to jump, I will kill him!" Luo Zhang agreed.

"Don't know a day to fight, kill, kill, surrender the army is not familiar with the terrain, the language is not comprehensible, as long as you respect them, you shouldn't think about rebellion, no matter how good you eat and drink, and you have money, you should be able to work hard, I'm afraid that they are all young people, they are angry, and there will be contradictions when they bump into each other, and you need to deal with them fairly, not partiality, no favoritism, just like when you brought mercenaries, understand?" Qin Huaidao reminded.

"Got it!" Luo Zhang hurriedly answered and secretly wrote it down.

After walking a distance, the team in front stopped, and a soldier galloped over with a horse: "Report, the saint is waiting in front, let the lord go over immediately." ”

"Holy?"

Qin Huaidao was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed forward with Yu Chi Baolin and Luo Zhang.

It didn't take long to see a team in front of him, Li Er was waiting on a war horse, and hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and shouted, "Holy Lord, why are you here?" ”

"See you off!" Li Er smiled and threw Wang De a look.

Wang De nodded knowingly, took the tray from the hand of a waiter next to him, and stepped forward, there was a jade cup on the tray, which was wine, Qin Huaidao turned over and dismounted, took the jade cup and drank it all, put it back on the tray, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

"Build the road well, if there is anything to send someone to pass the message, there is something in the house that I will help you watch, no

If you want to have worries, when can I go and see? Li Er admonished.

"Xie Shengshang cares, give the minister a month, and after a month, he can repair some."

"Okay, then I'll be over in a month, don't let me down."

"The minister understands!"

"One more thing." Li Er said and looked at Wang De again.

Wang De hurriedly took out a holy decree from his arms and read it, and the previous content was half-understood, as if he was praising both civil and military affairs, but Qin Huaidao understood the content behind it - it was a marriage, and with this holy decree, the marriage with Yuzhang was officially decided.

Qin Huaidao originally thought that Li Er would take care of it, and it would be possible to make this holy decree after the road was repaired, but he didn't expect to come down when he set off, but he was also benevolent and generous, no wonder he could get the support of so many capable people in the world back then, and finally ascended to the big treasure, which is indeed extraordinary.

Although it doesn't matter about this marriage, Li Er is willing to marry his heart, this love is recognized, and he can't be a conscience, Qin Huaidao hurriedly took the order and thanked him: "Thank you for the marriage, the minister must do his best to repair the road to repay the grace of the saint!" ”

"Go, if there is any obstacle, you can make a decision on the spot, cut first and then play." Li Er admonished.

Qin Huaidao's face changed slightly, he just built a road, why did he give the right to "make a decision on the spot, cut first and then play"? Could it be that Li Er knows something but can't say it clearly, reminding himself in disguise? Write it down secretly.

The line said goodbye and went slowly, facing the morning sun and drifting away.
