Chapter Forty-Eight: A Winter Fairy Tale
Lu Gong said: "How can we go to the king to ask for money, but you said you were going at the beginning." You can take that thing out once, but they have to eat every day. β
Xiang Shaolong said: "The general of the Great King Feng is also for your granddaughter, what can I get?" Besides, I can't go? It's just not time yet. β
Duke Qi just didn't follow, or let Xiang Shaolong hurry up and ask the king for money, or he would give some more money.
Xiang Shaolong was helpless, and promised to let the ranch provide them with free meat for three months, and the Duke gave up.
Xiang Shaolong is really looking forward to the performance of this group of female soldiers, after such hard training, none of them have been eliminated, and all the unqualified front-line combat troops have gone to work as medical soldiers. His factory wants to hire people, and it seems that he has to go out and recruit others.
If you want to shock people's eyes, there is nothing more suitable than "columnar". Three months of assault practice, when the time comes, there will be a "winter fairy tale".
When King Qin heard that Xiang Shaolong had gone to inspect the female soldiers, he was also very curious, so he asked Xiang Shaolong about the situation.
Xiang Shaolong said: "The training is very good, practice for another three months, and then ask the king to personally review it." β
King Qin said: "Okay, the widow also wants to see the demeanor of the female soldiers." Now these girls' families hate you so much, and they have paid a lot of money this time. β
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself: "If you are distressed, you can send them money now, and it is best to settle the account of your weapons and equipment." β
Looking at King Qin, that is to say, he had no intention of paying at all, so he had to speak: "Let them have some blood, I am not less!" The country now has more places to use money, and it has to fight wars and build, and as a nobleman, he should make more contributions to the country. β
All this money has been spent, let's sell it again. At this time, I asked for money and blocked King Qin, wasn't this money spent in vain?
Qin Wanglong was very happy, and felt that Xiang Shaolong was really the most intimate, and his words and affairs were the most in line with his heart.
King Qin didn't pay much attention to money, and he didn't lack it himself, but Xiang Shaolong always preached the benefits of business with him, saying that money was very important. Now that the country is developing faster and faster, and money is used everywhere, he finally discovered: money is really a good thing, and he can give less if he can.
Three months passed in a flash. Girls like Yingying and Dan'er don't care about the huge expenses of the family at all, and only think about being generals all day long.
The military parade was approaching, and they found Xiang Shaolong for final guidance.
Xiang Shaolong is also looking forward to this military parade, and he has spent a lot of thought on it during this time, and when he went to the school for the last time to do the final rehearsal, he was also shocked.
The red military uniform, standing in a square line, Xiang Shaolong turned his head and asked, "Have you ever seen a military uniform that is red from head to toe?" β
Ying Ying said: "Didn't you say the Red Women's Army? It's pretty good! β
Xiang Shaolong was speechless: "Is this what I mean by 'red'?" β
But visually, it's really good. After designing the entire parade in detail, he quietly waited for the parade to begin.
The warm winter sun is not so dazzling, and the faces of the girls are shining, which is really a good weather suitable for military parades.
The people in Xianyang City who are enough to be identical are here, and the lineup is no less than the duel between Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian back then.
The guests who came to watch the ceremony were the first to enter the school field, came to their own positions, and after standing still, King Qin appeared last.
The king of Qin usually sat in his own chariot, took the queen, and followed the guards to appear. But this time, Xiang Shaolong designed a separate way for him to appear, which can be regarded as a "military parade".
The King of Qin took the prince Zheng, the two of them were armed with swords, rode a high-headed horse, and walked slowly from the gate of the school to the viewing platform.
On the opposite side of the viewing platform, there are twenty square teams wearing red military uniforms neatly arranged, and where the King of Qin passed, the soldiers paid attention to the salute, solemn and solemn.
Xiang Shaolong deliberately designed two sentences: "Hello comrades! "Serve the people", but in the end I gave up, and I always felt that it was nondescript, like I was spoofing our People's Liberation Army.
The king of Qin stood in the center of the viewing platform, and hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up left and right.
Twenty fiery red war horses in the distance came to the viewing platform at a gallop, and twenty female generals jumped on horses with spears, golden crowns, golden armor, red robes, and spears, which were about to carry out the red to the end.
Twenty young and beautiful female generals turned over and dismounted, shouting in unison: "Meet the king!" "Neat, crisp, and pleasant, everyone is in good spirits.
A young and beautiful woman is already good-looking, coupled with neat dress and majestic momentum, it is simply a "uniform temptation".
Ying Ying said loudly: "King Qiqi, the Red Women's Army has been assembled, please review!" β
Originally, the parade commander designed by Xiang Shaolong was only Yingying, and only she was the one who appeared to report. But the other girls resolutely disagreed, they spent their own money, and their strength was out, and they didn't have themselves when they showed their faces, so what could they do? In the end, it was decided that everyone would appear together, and it was Yingying who opened his mouth to report.
The women will turn around, face the school field, and Yingying shouted: "Pacesetter-in place!" β
A hundred pacesetters, armed with steel guns, ran to their positions, and suddenly a hundred steel guns pierced the ground at the same time, making a dull loud noise.
Ying Ying said loudly: "Column, start!" Then the female generals also went to the viewing platform and stood around King Qin, because they also had a task - announcers.
"Turn left, step in unison β go!"
Reach the second pacesetter, "Walking!" β
Ying Ying was the first to speak, and introduced the team in front of her with her crisp voice: "The one who came in front is the Ying Ying team, they ......" and then introduced the history of her family, the contributions she made to the Qin State, how many generals, how many scholars, how many people have died, and how many people have died.
"To the rightβlook!"
The fighters shouted in unison, "One, two!" He shook his head in unison, raised his hand, turned his head 45 degrees, and looked at the viewing platform.
Uniform pace, long generally high, raised hands generally high, kicking generally high.
Everyone was shocked and felt the beauty of neatness for the first time.
King Qin couldn't help but sigh: There is really nothing to see in the singing and dancing in the court, soft and weak, not refreshing at all.
When each team arrives at the viewing platform, a female general will come forward to introduce the history of the family. This operation made their parents, who had recently suffered heavy losses, suddenly feel that the money was worth spent, and also made those who did not participate regret it.
Xiang Shaolong has restored what he can think of, and what he can do in this era, and he is worthy of them. During the whole process, he just stood quietly behind King Qin and didn't make a sound.
This military parade was an unprecedented success, and after the end, everyone felt that they could not get enough.
The king of Qin named the female generals on the spot, and the royal pen personally inscribed the "Red Women's Army", which officially entered the battle sequence of the Qin army.
King Qin quietly asked Xiang Shaolong: "Can you organize another parade of more powerful male soldiers?" β
When Xiang Shaolong heard this, he was also addicted to reading, and asked, "Who pays for it?" β
King Qin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Need a lot of money?" β
Xiang Shaolong nodded and said, "This parade is because these young ladies are in order to become generals, regardless of the cost, and the family behind them has invested a lot. If there is a military parade of all the officers and men of the army, it will be a bit more than worth the loss, and it will cost the people and money. These can be used as basic training for soldiers, and then we will talk about them later if there are any special circumstances. β
King Qin nodded, now that the country has too many places to use money, it is better not to waste it as much as possible.
Since then, in Xianyang City, you can always see groups of female soldiers in red uniforms, swaggering through the market under the leadership of a female general, taking care of everything, and maintaining law and order.
When Xiang Shaolong touched them, they were all blindfolded: Isn't this the scope of the patrol policeman's work? It's not the same system as you, whose brain is so big? This is all interdisciplinary, it belongs to the job!
Xiang Shaolong didn't bother to pay attention to them, he just told them not to train badly, after all, the king recognized them and paid them salaries, but they couldn't afford to ignore their jobs and forget the main task.
The security of Xianyang City is indeed good, these female generals play official authority because the six relatives do not recognize it, and no one dares to be domineering in front of them, but it makes the Duqi Yamen and the Duwei Yamen a lot easier.
Xiang Shaolong has been studying the Qi State recently. The state of Qi was disliked by the countries for "being careful about Qin", and rarely participated in the matter of colluding with Qin. Without Tiandan, Qi is not worried, but in the end it is still a rich and powerful country, and it has always been Qin's strategy to make friends with distant and close attacks, and befriending Qi is beneficial to the process of unification.
Xiang Shaolong has always used the paper business to tempt the powerful of various countries, and this time Xiang Shaolong plans to come up with refined salt technology and win cooperation.
The State of Qi relied on the benefits of fishing and salt, and became rich in the world, becoming a powerful country second only to the State of Qin. Due to the geographical location of the Qin State, the profits of refined salt in recent years have not been as good as Xiang Shaolong expected, and because it does not produce salt, the cost of purchasing coarse salt is also very high.
Xiang Shaolong also had the idea of saltwater lakes, but in this era, China's main saltwater lakes were located in Xirong and other ethnic minority areas, which were more difficult to obtain, so the business of refined salt was delayed.
Xiang Shaolong has always coveted the fact that Qi is located by the sea and relies on the sea to cook salt, so he has long had the idea of cooperation. The last time he met Hou Sheng in Zhao State, he had already revealed his friendliness, and now Xiang Shaolong is ready to send an envoy to Qi State to lure him to take advantage of it and win Hou Sheng.
Xiang Shaolong reported to the King of Qin his idea of preparing to send an envoy to the State of Qi.
King Qin was surprised, why did he go to Qi State?
Xiang Shaolong said: "Now that the health of the King of Wei is deteriorating, Xinling Jun will not be long in his life, stabilize the Qi State, and it is time to plan the Wei State." β
For a long time, King Qin's most satisfied with Xiang Shaolong is the attitude of serving the country wholeheartedly, keenly grasping the pulse of the six countries, and being able to react immediately when there is a stir.
King Qin said happily: "Okay, the matter of envoying to the Qi country, Shaolong can still make his own decisions." β
Xiang Shaolong thanked: "King Xie." β
