Gaonu City.

In the study, after Bai Yan dealt with the things in Gaonu City, he came to the wooden table by the window on the side and watched the wine and meat being eaten.

Bai Yan didn't care, took the dishes and chopsticks, and began to eat the leftovers.

"I said you kid, you can't order someone to make another one?"

The old man on the other side of the wooden table, looking at Bai Yan's appearance, said angrily, and then burped.

The old man's face was slightly red as a result of drinking.

"I don't have much money, so I can afford to spend it like that!"

Bai Yan ate the leftovers and said to the old man.

"A meal of wine and meat can make a Zuo chief bluntly consume?"

When the old man heard Bai Yan's words, he couldn't help but laugh.

Although the old man also knew that the kid in front of him was giving most of the gold and stipends to the soldiers who died in battle, and ordered someone to bring them back to the families of those soldiers.

And under his troubles, this kid just has no money, and he also made this meal of wine and meat for him, which is enough to see that this kid is really serious to him, and he can't pay more attention to it.

But the old man still wanted to take the opportunity to sarcastically mock this kid.

"If you are a kid who is interested, a general, placed in the country of Qi, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, are countless."

The old man tilted his head sideways and looked at Bai Yan with disdain: "The country of Qi inherits the tradition of the Zhou royal family, at the beginning of the belief in the husband's ceremony, the first food, the most famous Zhou Bazhen in the world, is the best in the country of Qi, the country of Qi has a banquet, and there are hundreds of dishes to enjoy." ”

"As long as you kid returns to Qi country, you will have status and wealth, beautiful women, good wine, and delicious food in the world."

The old man tempted again.

However, no matter what the old man said, Bai Yan ate by himself.

"Boy! Look at the Qin State, which only knows about cultivation and warfare, you look at the Qin people, there are Qi people who are doing well. ”

The old man burped and bewitched.

Bai Yan swallowed a mouthful of meat and vegetarian food before stopping.

"Old man, Bai Yan is not going to Qi Country! Don't fool the boy, old gentleman! ”

After relieving himself, Bai Yan spoke.

Later, under the old man's gaze, Bai Yan told the old man that this meal of wine and meat was placed in ordinary people in Qi State, but few people could afford to eat it.

Although a large part of it is because of the grandfather's family, this is indeed the norm for the people.

On the surface, the country of Qi seems to have no war all year round, and is known by the world: the country is rich and the people are prosperous.

That's because the State of Qi is different from all the vassal states in the world, and the State of Qi has undergone two changes.

The first time was 500 years ago, Guan Zhong vigorously carried out the privatization of the people's fields, and the taxes on the fields were determined according to the quality and quality of the good land.

The second change of law is a generation of famous Zou Ji, but unfortunately in the end, because of Tian Ji, Zou Ji's reputation was ruined.

But no matter how good these two changes were for Qi Guo, they didn't change one thing in the end.

That is the nobles, the powerful.

After Zou Ji killed Tian Ji, Zou Ji was also executed, and as soon as Zou Ji died, the nobles and royal clansmen of Qi began to firmly control a large part of the fields of Qi State, and some people even extended their hands to the people.

So as long as there is no rare Ming Jun, the country of Qi is rich, the rich are the scholars, the people are prosperous, and the prosperous are the powerful!

Under the calm and calm, how can it be so good.

The fields were controlled by the nobles, and the people still had no way to rise, but were still being exploited for various reasons, and finally the wealth of the family and the people were handed over to the scholars.

"You kid knows so much, so why don't you go back to Qi Kingdom?"

When the old man heard Bai Yan say so much, he was interested.

Obviously, this kid knows the disadvantages of Qi State, and it stands to reason that if another person is now famous, he will definitely be eager to return to his home country and show his skills, and when the time comes, he will be as famous as Guan Zhong.

"If you marry the daughter of Tian Ding, you don't have to worry about Tian Ding."

The old man whispered.

When Bai Yan heard the old man's words, he looked at the old man angrily.

"Old sir, the kid doesn't believe that the old gentleman doesn't know the consequences!"

Bai Yan watched this old man fool him all the time.

Bai Yan didn't believe that this old man didn't understand, as soon as there was a Shang Ying in Qi State, let alone Tian Ding, even Tian Ding's former subordinates and even all relationships, he would break with Tian Ding.

Unlike Qin, Qi is more like Chu, where not all power is in the hands of the monarch.

What he said, Duke Jin was aware of these drawbacks at the beginning, but even Duke Jin, who was dedicated to Qi, did not object to these, because in the world, except for Qin, all vassal states are the same.

People are not sages, Jin Gong was also thinking about the clan during his lifetime, and in the eyes of Jin Gong, the inheritance of the family is also extremely important.

"Consequences, aren't you just afraid of death! You are still a Qi person, knowing that the people are suffering, you have the ability to do nothing, and you are greedy for life~. ”

When the old man heard Bai Yan's words, he pretended to be disdainful.

"The old gentleman doesn't have to provoke the boy, one day, the kid will lead the iron horse back to the Qi country."

Bai Yan replied.

After getting along during this time, Bai Yan also resumed treating this old man like he did in Qi State, although he was polite, but he had given up and let this old man help him.

"You kid dare to think that the iron horse enters Qi, and the Zhao State and the Chu State will sit idly by?"

The old man was amused by Bai Yan's words and said with a smile.

At this time, karma hurriedly ran in from outside the study.

"General, the stirrups have arrived at the camp!"

Ye arched his hand and said.

Hearing this, Bai Yan hurriedly got up and didn't care about eating.

"The old man is going too!"

When the old man saw this scene, he also slowly got up.

As far as the old man is concerned, Bai Yan doesn't mind that this kid knows anyway, it's better to go and see what the 'stirrups' are.

"Hey, this is the stirrup? Let the old man get on the horse and ride! ”

In the iron riding camp, when the old man who had drunk wine, he saw countless war horses, all of which were loaded with iron plates on the hooves of the horses, and a pair of small objects were buckled on the horses' backs.

Since he was young, he traveled all over the world and studied the ancient books of war, and he could see the effect of these at a glance.

So where can I hold back, and I hurriedly want to give it a try.

"Sir, you've drunk, slow down."

Fortunately, Bai Yan was not worried about the old man leaving, and after helping the old man get on the horse, he let Ye, Huai and others ride on the war horse.

Then he watched Ye, Huai and the others follow behind the old man and run towards the outside of the camp.

Bai Yan ignored it and turned his head to look at Chai.

"How many horses are there? Is it enough for 4,500 horses? ”

Bai Yan asked.

Because the bamboo slips that came with the stirrups recorded the number this time, Bai Yan wanted to confirm that the number was correct and report it when the time came.

"Just four thousand five hundred!"

Shiba nodded, and there was no error in the quantity.

"It's so comfortable!"

"With this thing, I will definitely be able to kill a lot of enemies next time!"

"Great, this thing can exert power, although it is not as good as flat ground, but it is like a world of difference compared to before."

In the camp, all the soldiers were excited about the chatter of a famous iron cavalry soldier, and after the war horse pressed the horseshoe nails and stirrups, all the soldiers became excited.

And most of the remaining soldiers who had not yet pressed the stirrups also looked at this never-before-seen thing curiously.

It's simple and small.

But the soldiers could see that this thing had a great effect, and it seemed to come from a blacksmith in Wancheng.

"Let the soldiers guard against the news and don't spread it!"

Bai Yan looked at the soldiers, turned his head to Chai and said to the other iron cavalry generals.

Although the rest of the time, even if Zhao Guo knew, he didn't have time to prepare, but Bai Yan still had to block the news and prepare to catch Li Mu off guard.

A moment later.

Bai Yan heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw that the old man had already ridden back.

The war horse stopped, the old man stepped on the stirrup and turned over and dismounted, and then handed the war horse to the soldiers.

Looking at the countless war horses that had been loaded with stirrups, the old man was shocked.

Having experienced the role of stirrups, the old man clearly knew how much the stirrups could help the cavalry.

"Boy, you studied under the Mo family?"

The old man came to Bai Yan and asked curiously.

When he was riding a horse, the old man had already learned from the industry that the stirrups and horseshoe nails were all made by this kid, and the details of the drawings were all there.

"Old man, Bai Yanke has never seen the Mo family! These two things are just feelings. ”

Bai Yan explained with a smile.

When the old man heard Bai Yan's explanation, he was obviously a little puzzled, and looked at Bai Yan's eyes seriously, as if he wanted to know if Bai Yan was lying.

In the end, the old man felt that Bai Yan didn't seem to be deceiving, and sighed helplessly.

If the old man felt that this kid had touched Li Mu before, he would have no chance of winning.

So right now, looking at the iron cavalry camp, such a large number of war horses have been fully equipped with stirrups, the old man feels that if Li Mu doesn't know the news, he will probably suffer a big loss.

And if you guess correctly, Bai Yan, this kid, went to Xianyang to meet Yingzheng, with Yingzheng's temperament and Qin's national strength, it may be that before the battle, this entire iron cavalry will all be equipped with stirrups and horseshoe nails.

"Li Mu may really be in danger!"

The old man looked at the iron horsemen in the camp, full of amazement, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

On the battlefield, if Li Mu was made a fatal gap by Bai Yan, those generals of the Qin State would definitely not let go of the opportunity.
