Chapter 119: Take charge of the Black Ice Terrace
"General Bai is back!"
Qin Qing looked back with some surprise, and then responded: "The seeds that the general gave me before have been planted, and the yield is still very high. ”
Bai Zhong was surprised: "So fast! ”
Then I thought that I had been on the expedition for more than half a year.
It was now January of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, and there was enough time to plant the first batch of crops, so he was not surprised, and nodded and said, "Madame, please come in!" ”
The two walked through the door.
Qin Qing said again: "When I reported it, I said that the seed was provided by the general, and the general had just returned from the expedition, and he should have made a great contribution, and the two combined, the king's reward should not be less." ”
Bai Zhong was not surprised by this, and thanked: "This matter is hard madam!" ”
They had just walked down the hall.
"Sister Qing!"
"Big brother is finally back!"
Bai Lan saw them first and hurriedly shouted, "Sister-in-law Qiu, the eldest brother is back." ”
Zhou Yu soon came, and when he saw that the person he was thinking about day and night was in front of him, he ran over briskly, threw himself into his arms, and murmured: "Beloved!" ”
"I won't bother you!"
Seeing this, Qin Qing said goodbye and left very interestingly.
Zhou Yu found out that Qin Qing was also there, and he was so shy that his face was flushed, and he buried his head in Bai Zhong's arms.
Bai Lan asked softly, "Is the eldest brother injured?" ”
If you go to war, you may be injured, and Lan'er is most worried about this.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu also raised his head and looked at her husband with an inquiring look.
Bai Zhong raised his hand and turned around, and said with a smile: "Do you think I look like I'm injured?" ”
The broken ribs have long been recovered.
"It's good that you're not hurt!"
Zhou Yu was finally relieved.
They were all thinking in their hearts that as long as they weren't hurt, they would rather not have their exploits.
Bai Zhong asked, "How is your cultivation?" ”
When asked about cultivation, the two girls felt that cultivation was very wonderful, and pulled Bai Zhong to sit down and report their progress.
Soon it was evening.
The cook brought all the food, and Bai Zhong accompanied them to have dinner, and then prepared hot water to wash away the dust on their bodies.
When he returned to the room, Bai Zhong saw Zhou Yu carefully tidying up the futon, sitting quietly on the couch and waiting, a pair of white little feet, swaying gently, seeing him push the door in, jump up and run over, and throw himself into his arms again.
"Beloved!"
She said softly.
"No shoes!"
Bai Zhong picked her up and put her on the couch.
Find another piece of cloth and gently wipe the dust off the jade feet.
Although she has been married for a while, when her husband held her little feet, Zhou Yu was inevitably shy, and even her neck was red, and then she enjoyed it very much.
"Have you ever been back to Changleli?"
Bai Zhong put the cloth aside, sat back on the couch, took her into his arms, put his chin against her forehead, and asked softly.
Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said, "At the end of September, let Zijin arrange someone to escort me and Lan'er back, but Ah Weng is still reluctant to come to Xianyang." ”
Bai Zhong apologized: "I'm busy, I don't have time to go back." ”
"I can understand the beloved!"
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and gently rubbed it into his arms: "I miss you so much!" ”
"Me too!"
Bai Zhong bowed his head and kissed it.
After a long absence, it is better to be newly married, and that's what they say.
The next morning.
After Bai Zhong got up, he put on his official uniform and entered the Xianyang Palace to participate in the court meeting.
Coming to the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, Bai Zhong and everyone waited for a while, and Yingzheng came.
In today's court discussion, Yingzheng is mainly about the results of the first battle to destroy Zhao, and rewards for meritorious deeds.
Wang Jian and Meng Wu all got the knighthood.
Bai Zhong also entered the first knight, and he was already a thirteenth-rank middle watch, and he got a lot of rewards, but in terms of rewards, he was really ready to take out one point and give it to those who died in battle or could no longer go to the battlefield.
In addition, there is Li Xin, although he failed to intercept Gongzi Jia, but in the whole process of destroying Zhao, the credit is not small, and he also got the promotion and promotion, and continued to stay under Bai Zhong's subordinates.
Meng Tian and the king left them, and they were rewarded.
After arranging all the rewards, Ying Zheng began to discuss other matters.
When it was almost noon, the political affairs were almost handled, and Yingzheng asked everyone to retreat, but left Bai Zhong in the palace.
"As soon as I arrived in Xianyang yesterday, Feng Qujian sent the seeds of those grains and wheat to the widow, the varieties are good and very full."
Ying Zheng first mentioned this matter and said: "According to what Qin Qing said, the yield of these new varieties is not low, and the yield per mu is basically more than 12 stones. ”
One stone of the Qin State is equivalent to about sixty catties in later generations.
Bai Zhong calculated, twelve stones are about more than 700 catties in later generations.
The yield per mu is more than 700 catties, which is a very low-yield kind.
But in the Qin State, it is definitely super high-yielding, and it can be said that there is a bumper harvest.
When Ying Zheng talked about this output, the smile on his face never stopped, if the output could be maintained at this level steadily, he could guarantee that there would be no more hungry people in Daqin, and the granary would never be empty again.
The level of grain production was related to national strength for ancient agricultural countries.
Ying Zheng continued: "The widow will not ask where Bai Qing got the seed from, but the widow can see that Bai Qing is really for Daqin. ”
At the beginning, Bai Zhong casually explained those to Qin Qing, but of course Yingzheng didn't believe it.
Bai Zhong said solemnly: "The minister will never betray the king. ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The widow believes in Bai Qing, you saved the widow's life in Handan, and offered those seeds, the widow is thinking, what reward should be given to you, the money is given, and the title is also given, but in terms of power, it is still a little worse." ”
Bai Zhong didn't know what he meant by saying this, so he shook his head and said, "The minister thinks that this is enough." ”
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "No, it's not enough, do you know the Black Ice Terrace?" ”
The Black Ice Terrace really exists.
Bai Zhong nodded in understanding.
"The widow's Black Ice Platform has sixteen captains, but it lacks a commander, so it will be handed over to Bai Qing in the future."
Ying Zheng looked back at Bai Zhong, his eyes revealing trust, and continued: "What does Bai Qing think? ”
The Black Ice Terrace under Ying Zheng's command is similar to the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, not only the personal guard of the King of Qin, but also responsible for a series of actions such as assassination, bribery of powerful ministers, sowing discord, inserting undercover agents, creating rumors, stealing secrets, and so on.
As the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, you can get a lot of information and eyeline, and even some special powers.
"The minister is willing to take over, but is this true?"
Bai Zhong knew that Hei Bingtai was very important to Yingzheng, so he handed over control in this way, which was equivalent to handing over part of his life to Bai Zhong.
Ying Zheng affirmed: "Of course it's true, the widow's life was saved by Bai Qing, if you don't trust you like this, who else can the widow trust?" The Black Ice Platform is a widow separated from the previous Iron Eagle Warriors, and now it is in charge of the widow, but you are more suitable to be the commander, how about it? ”
Bai Zhong thought about it for a while, and then said, "Minister, take the order!" ”
