The process of hunting can be divided into large-scale chariot hunting by noble lords and small-scale hunting by ordinary commoners.

The objects of hunting are all birds and animals that are useful for people's clothing, food, and use.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many rules for field hunting.

The original function of field hunting was to eliminate pests for the field and protect crops from the ravages of birds and beasts, so it was called "field hunting".

The second is to provide worship to the temple.

The third is to drive chariots and horses, bend bows and ride and shoot, mobilize the army, and conduct military training.

There are certain etiquette rules for field hunting, and hunting without etiquette is a tyrannical thing.

The ritual law stipulates that field hunting does not hunt young animals, does not collect bird eggs, does not kill pregnant animals, does not injure young animals that have not grown up, and does not destroy bird nests.

In addition, hunting and killing should be encircled but not combined, leaving room for all the killings, and it is not possible to catch them all at once, and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

"Boom!"

In the vast grassland, dozens of chariots galloped by, driving all kinds of prey, and fled towards the hunting site.

In the mountain streams, forests, and various environments in the upper forest garden, there are a large number of prey being hunted.

The ministers and doctors on the chariot, or the children of the nobles, all opened their bows and arrows to shoot their prey.

As a nobleman who is proficient in the six arts of gentlemen, hunting is naturally not a problem.

"Whew!"

"Poof!"

Zhao Ying stood on top of the chariot, his eyes were bright, and he drew his bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow.

Right in the neck of an elk!

The elk, which had been hit hard, wailed, and fell into a pool of blood, and the breath of life was gradually draining.

"Good!"

"Color!"

Seeing that Zhao Ying's archery skills were so exquisite, the entourage present couldn't help but applaud.

Like the vast majority of princes and nobles, Zhao Ying liked hunting very much, and over time, he naturally developed a great archery skill.

"Zhao Shangqing's divine shot."

At this time, Qingji's hunting team had already rushed over.

Qingji praised it, but Zhao Ying was flattered and lowered his hand and said: "In front of Wu Hou, I can't be called a divine shooter." Zhao Ying heard that in the past, Wu Hou was one hundred and twenty steps away, and he could still shoot an orange. ”

"The name of the world's first divine shooting, Wu Hou deserves it!"

"Zhao Shangqing doesn't have to praise falsely."

Qingji smiled slightly.

Whether it is force or archery, Qingji is indeed second to none in the world.

However, this is not a capital that he should be proud of.

"Zhao Shangqing, are all Jin people as good at shooting as you?"

Qingji asked again.

"Don't hide it from Wu Hou, the Jin people are good at shooting, I'm afraid that among the countries in the world, only Qin and Yan can be compared with my Jin country."

Zhao was not lying.

Even if he deliberately befriended Qingji, it was not convenient to talk about it.

For example, in the two countries of Wu and Chu in the south, there are many lofty mountains and mountains, and there are many hunters, but not everyone is good at shooting.

Li Shu of the Central Plains countries has average archery skills, and even does not know archery skills at all.

The three kingdoms of Jin, Qin, and Yan, because of the Rongdi barbarians bordering the northwest, forced them to be skilled in archery and horse archery in the harsh war environment.

In this regard, Qingji did not refute it.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying raised his eyes and asked again, and said, "Wu Hou, Zhao Ying heard that there is a kind of bow in Wu State, called 'crossbow', which has a long range and strong power, far better than ordinary hard bows. ”

"Zhao Ying entered Wu for many days, but he didn't see his crossbow. I don't know why? ”

Zhao Ying, this is pretending to be garlic.

Qingji squinted his eyes and said: "Zhao Shangqing, I can't hide it, my Wu country does have such a crossbow, but it is used in military affairs, and the people can't have it." In my Wu country, it is a felony to secretly possess crossbow and armor. ”

"I wonder if Wu Hou can give Zhao Ying a crossbow?"

Qingji smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying could only bow down and say, "It's rude." ”

The crossbow is the secret weapon of the Wu State, how can Zhao Ying get it?

However, as the war intensified, it is believed that Wu's crossbow will one day be imitated.

Zhao Ying's entry into Wu this time can be said to be very profound.

Envoy to Wu country, come to Wu country to enjoy the mountains and rivers?

Definitely!

Zhao Ying's real purpose is to think of Wu Guo to "steal teachers" and learn about Wu's advanced systems and various crafts.

Understandable.

Qingji will not stop Zhao Ying from doing that, because this is something that is placed on the surface, and it can't be hidden.

Qingji, Zhao Ying, and their entourage returned to the camp and sat down in priority and priority.

Between the staggered plans, everyone was vaguely drunk.

Zhao Ying slowly stood up with the intention of drinking, and said to Qing Ji, who was sitting at the top: "Wu Hou, Zhao Ying has benefited a lot from entering Wu this time. ”

"Since Wu Hou succeeded to the throne, he has been a martial artist and a saint king of ancient times. Its reward for cultivating and fighting, opening up the Mo to seal the territory, is the first in the world! ”

"Wu Guo can have today, and Wu Hou should be the first to make contributions!"

"Zhao Shangqing praises falsely."

Qingji just smiled faintly, noncommittal.

As the suzerain of the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Ying's position is higher than that of the princes, so it is naturally impossible to deliberately slap the horse against Qingji.

He really admired Qingji.

"Wu Hou, all kinds of measures taken by Wu State for government, Zhao Ying has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart."

"After Zhao Ying wants to return to the country, he will follow the government of Wu State, I don't know if Wu Hou minds?"

Zhao Ying asked tentatively.

"Hahahaha, why can't Zhao Shangqing follow the government of my Wu State?"

Qingji didn't seem to mind.

Really don't mind?

It's nature!

Because not every country is suitable for implementing this kind of policy of rewarding cultivation and warfare of Wu State and opening up the territory to seal the territory.

The reason why Qingji was able to successfully implement the new law was because the national conditions of the Wu State were quite similar to the Qin State before the Shang Dynasty changed the law.

The minister and doctor of Wu State are not too powerful, and they have not yet endangered the monarch of Qingji.

However, this is not the case in the Jin Kingdom!

The six secretaries of the Jin State are too powerful, and they have almost set the Marquis of Jin in the air, what can be used to implement the national policy of rewarding cultivation and warfare?

Of course, Zhao Ying was not yet the ruling minister of the Jin State, and he may just want to implement this new law of the Wu State in his own Zhao fiefdom.

However, the resistance will not be too small.

As far as Qingji knows, under the rule of Zhao Ying, the Zhao family is not monolithic.

Under the care of Han Qi and Wei Shu, Zhao Ying emerged in the political arena.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.

In 514 BC, the old birthday star Han Qi died, and Wei Shu succeeded him as the ruler.

Han Qi is Han Xuanzi, the son of Han Xianzi Han Ju, one of the Six Qings, and the ruling minister of the Jin State with a long political life.

The pattern of the Jin State is basically that the six secretaries take turns to control the government.

The three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei are opposite to the three families of Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China, and do not deal with each other.

At that time, Wei Shuzai lost the assistance of a heavyweight ally like Han Qi, and was basically unable to control the order.

Although he was already in a high position in power, he could only compromise and struggled to maintain the stability and peace of the Jin Kingdom.

However, the treacherous and cunning Shi Ying (Fan Ying) could not give up, and he began to brew a new conspiracy.
