Chapter 186: Meng Tian
On the county side, with the arrival of Yingzheng and them, it became lively all of a sudden.
Zhao Qingrui also met the historical general Meng Tian, Meng Yi's brother.
Looking at the burly and tall Meng Tian, dressed in armor, his eyes were resolute.
"I've seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Great Qin for ten thousand years." A group of people hula and knelt down.
"Flatten, no need to be polite." Ying Zheng looked at these people lightly, and his eyes fell on Meng Tian, who had been stationed in Shangjun for several years.
It is precisely because of Meng Tian's presence that Meng Tian has made the north of Daqin stable, and Meng Tian has contributed a lot.
They followed Meng Tian into the county governor's mansion, which was Meng Tian's residence.
Meng Tian is not very good at words, and he only briefly introduced the situation in Shangjun along the way.
Zhao Qingrui listened carefully, Shangjun belongs to the border area, and the Xiongnu come to harass from time to time, and the Great Wall has to be built, and the garrison here is still quite heavy.
Most of the people who built the Great Wall were prisoners of war, and there were those who committed serious crimes, and these people had to be carefully managed, and even then, there were rebellions.
The garrison here had to watch not only the people who built the Great Wall, but also the Huns.
Zhao Qingrui listened carefully and thought about whether to recruit more troops and expand the garrison in Shangjun.
After thinking about it for a while, I still gave up this idea, or that problem, now the grain in the Great Qin treasury can't support so many people, so there is no need to recruit troops now.
Meng Tian was also quietly looking at this little princess, as soon as she came back, she directly squeezed out the status of Fusu Gongzi, although he knew a lot about this princess from his brother's letter, but he was still curious about Zhao Qingrui.
He did not support or oppose His Majesty's decision, and the monarch of Great Qin was never something that the Meng family could decide.
However, His Majesty wants them to assist Zhao Qingrui, they just need to be obedient.
Zhao Qingrui's ability has also been recognized by the people in the court, and they have no objections in their hearts.
Thinking of the recent situation of Daqin now, Meng Tian wanted to get to know this princess well.
The county lieutenant's mansion is relatively simple, basically some necessary supplies, there is no superfluous things at all, and the simple style of the soldier is brought into full play.
"Your Highness is curious about this place?" Meng Tian's voice suddenly appeared behind Zhao Qingrui.
"I'm a little curious, the general has too few things here, is there anything missing?" Zhao Qingrui smiled, but she admired Meng Tian very much in her heart.
Meng Tian was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Qingrui to say this, "There is no shortage of things, thank you Your Highness for your concern." ”
"General don't be polite, the current Great Qin is much better than before, if there is something missing, I can go and discuss with my father." Zhao Qingrui nodded seriously.
When these soldiers are strong, they can better protect Daqin.
Especially after experiencing modern education, Zhao Qingrui has a good impression of these soldiers.
"Your Highness has a heart, if you want to talk about what is missing, it is the lack of some powerful weapons, and many weapons in the army are seriously worn." Meng Tian chuckled, and he also saw the adoration in the little princess's eyes.
He knew that there were many ministers in the court who had written about disarmament matters.
And Zhao Qingrui, she can see that these soldiers are genuinely concerned.
"The matter of weapons is in the hands of the public losers, and now two iron mines have been found, and the manufacture of weapons is still in the hands of the general, please don't worry." She has no choice about the wear and tear of weapons, and now she can only hope for the loser.
Those who are the losers are good at weapons, especially the manufacture of various offensive weapons.
The creation of iron weapons, but also to build the weapons of a million troops, this is not a small amount of work, in fact, there are not many existing blacksmiths in Daqin, to create hundreds of thousands of weapons at once, it is simply enough.
"Well, I know." Meng Tian nodded, a little surprised in his heart, in terms of iron weapons, such an important matter, this little princess knows that His Majesty really has high hopes for her.
Seeing that Meng Tian was still relaxed, Zhao Qingrui was a little weak, but now there is no shortage of food, but the army is still limited to eating enough, and if you want to eat meat, you can basically eat it once a month.
There are still many problems in the military that need to be solved urgently, but these problems cannot be solved in a short period of time.
"I'd like to see the construction of the Great Wall, is that okay?" She basically couldn't help Meng Tian and them, so Zhao Qingrui simply changed the topic.
"Yes, but it's dirty and dangerous over there, and you need to consult Your Majesty before you can decide." Meng Tian said seriously.
This highness is the heir in His Majesty's heart, and if something happens, he can't afford to take responsibility.
"I'll go talk to my father." Zhao Qingrui saw that Meng Tian agreed, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Hearing Zhao Qingrui's words, Ying Zheng frowned, "Aren't you tired?" When you were in the car, you didn't want to move, but now you want to see the construction of the Great Wall? ”
Ying Zheng only felt that her daughter wanted to come out of it, and it must have been Meng Tian who said something in her ear and tempted her to see it, so she couldn't help but glared at Meng Tian viciously.
Innocently affected Meng Tian: "." He was wronged, he didn't do anything, why did he provoke His Majesty's displeasure??
"That's right, I want to go and see, Father, I'll go and see it for a while, and promise to come back quickly." Zhao Qingrui looked at her father expectantly.
"The widow is not at ease." Those prisoners were all prisoners of war, remnants of the Six Nations, and the prisoners of war were different from other prisoners, so he really didn't feel at ease.
"There's nothing to worry about, I'm amazing, father, don't worry, I'll take a look from afar." I don't know what Daddy is worried about.
"That's it, you go, come back early, Meng Tian, you look at her a little more." can't stand the girl's expectant eyes, what can he do, he can only compromise.
"Thank you, Father." Zhao Qingrui had expected that although his father was scary when he had a tiger's face, his heart was still very soft, as long as she coquettishly said a few words, he would compromise.
was pinched by his daughter, and when he noticed Meng Tian's gaze, Ying Zheng was a little uncomfortable, feeling that his majestic image had been affected.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely protect His Highness." Meng Tian said seriously, very surprised in his heart, is Your Majesty so easy to speak? Or, only in the presence of this Highness?
went out with Meng Tian, Yin Yan was tired from the car, so she didn't go with her, but Li Si came with her.
"Li is also curious about the construction of the Great Wall?" Zhao Qingrui tilted her head to look at Li Si.
"Well, I haven't seen it, I want to go and see it." Li Si said seriously.
"I haven't seen it either, the Great Wall blocked the Huns outside the pass, I've heard about it a long time ago, and I haven't had the opportunity to see it, this time I followed my father out on a parade, and finally had the opportunity to see it." Zhao Qingrui nodded, looking in the direction of the Great Wall, full of anticipation.
