Gentle and soft, Xiong Wuliang lost his sleepiness at that time.

It's almost like 'there are assassins' in his voice.

Xiong Wuliang took a few steps back, lit the lamp oil with a 'swish', and the bedroom instantly lit up.

In the dim light, the young man of Mi Liang looked fixedly.

On the bed, there was a gentle and lovely girl, almost fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light yellow dress, looking like she was startled by Xiong Wuliang.

The girl trembled and saluted Xiong Wuliang Yingying, and pleaded guilty: "The slave maid has seen the prince and the marquis, and she is shocked, and I hope that the prince will forgive the sins." ”

Xiong Wuliang was indeed scared enough.

Anyone who suddenly appears in their bed with a stranger will be frightened.

But what if it's a beautiful woman on the bed......

Xiong Wuliang calmed down and stood by the door - although this woman looked gentle and well-behaved (as if she was startled by her own movements), if she really showed danger, Xiong Wuliang would definitely flee for her life as soon as possible.

What if Xiong Wei offended some enemy back then, and now send a female assassin to find him for revenge?

"Who are you?"

"Back to the prince, the slave was bought by Lord Zhong to serve you, just call me Xiaoyi."

Xiong Wuliang let down his guard - no matter what, Zhong Hua must be trustworthy!

Also, there are always his own soldiers waiting outside the door, how can any assassin run into his bedroom without noticing?

Xiong Wuliang looked at Xiaoyi, a little crying and laughing.

Zhong Hua's old killer is quite careful.

I haven't arrived yet, but the bed warmer has been matched first.

Very good, very good...... No! Outrageous!

Is this son such a lustful person?

Well......

Xiong Wuliang is not a saint, but he is really tired enough today, and now he just wants to sleep, and his tired body has no evil thoughts at all: "You step down first, this son doesn't need you to serve today." ”

After Mr. Mi Liang finished speaking, he also felt a little blushing.

If you don't need to serve, you don't need to wait, but you still don't need to serve today.

Damn it!

……

Early the next morning.

Because he went to bed early last night, he woke up early in the morning.

If you are still in the palace, you must practice swords under the supervision of swordsmanship at this time!

Xiong Wuliang rubbed his eyes and felt refreshed, but looking at the still bright sky outside, he really couldn't get up to practice swords like in the palace.

"Childe, you're awake." The door was pushed open, and Xiaoyi walked in and put a basin of hot water on the side: "Hot water for you." ”

Xiong Wuliang looked at it, in the bright light, this girl had long black and shiny hair, white and clean, although it was not a country and a city, but it was also very delicate and upright.

Xiong Wuliang retracted his gaze, got up from the bed, washed his face with hot water, and asked casually, "Where are you from?" ”

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Hui Gongzi, the slave is from the Yue country. ”

Qi Liang's heart moved, he looked up at Xiaoyi, and wiped a handful of water stains on his face with his hand.

"Childe, there is a craftsman named Shi Er outside, who has been waiting for him early in the morning." Xiao Yi lowered her eyebrows and said, not noticing Xiong Wuliang's scrutinizing gaze.

Xiong Wuliang put on his clothes: "He came very early, let him wait for me in the martial arts arena." Invite Uncle Zhong over,"

"Yui." Xiaoyi bowed and took the order.

……

"My lord, this is the plough you asked me to make yesterday." Shi Er respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted Xiong Wuliang.

Xiong Wuliang took two steps forward and took a look.

This plough is made of fine pear wood......

There is no burr in the whole body, and the dragon painting style is exquisite!

The son of Mi Liang was a little speechless......

It's just a farm tool, and it's actually made by this old boy as a handicraft.

However, being able to make such a delicate finished product in such a short period of time shows that this stone er's craftsmanship is really good.

Xiong Wuliang probably checked it, felt that there was no problem, and was very happy in his heart.

With this thing, there is no need to worry about food production.

"Reward." Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "Immediately build this thing in large quantities and promote it throughout the county!" ”

Craftsman Shi Er happily took two strings of reward money from Zhong Hua's hand, and asked casually: "Lord, can this quyuan plough really be better used than the ploughshare in the county?" ”

Xiong Wuliang was in a good mood, and said with a smile when he heard this: "It's not just better, the efficiency should be at least tripled." ”

Shi Er's jaw dropped in shock, he fell to the ground and kowtowed, "The lord can have such great talent...... It's just that the villain has a sentence that I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

In the middle of the Warring States period, the status of craftsmen was not as humble as it was later.

If it were more than a hundred years later, Xiong Wuliang would have made a Quyuan plow, and what he would have gained would not have been praised as 'great talent'!

will only be ridiculed by the nobles of the world - with a noble status, a craftsman is despicable.

Gongzi Mi Liang raised his eyebrows, accepted Shi Er's praise without giving up, and said gently: "There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Shi Er said boldly: "Lord Mingjian - the complexity of this quyuan plough is far beyond the existing ploughshare, if you can't let the people see the power of this zigyuan plough with their own eyes, I'm afraid that no one will be willing to switch to this new type of ploughshare with cumbersome workmanship." ”

"If you forcibly promote the Quyuan plough in the form of an order, I am afraid that the people will be dissatisfied in their hearts, and it will inevitably be implemented in accordance with the yang and the yin."

Xiong Wuliang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

This is very true.

If any kind of thing is implemented by the coercive means of the superiors, even if the original intention is good, it will inevitably be resisted by the people.

I didn't expect this Shi Er to be quite sensitive.

Xiong Wuliang: "This is reasonable. Sit and watch the tea. ”

Shi Er is overjoyed, being able to make a familiar face in front of the new lord, and even win the attention of the lord, it is worth more than any reward!

Shi Er is a smart person, of course he knows that this kind of opportunity to express himself is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He knelt on the edge with sincere fear, his buttocks slightly bowed, as a sign of respect: "In the opinion of the villain, you might as well call those village leaders over, demonstrate the efficiency of this quyuan plow in front of them, and then promote this thing, presumably the effect will be much better!" ”

Xiong Wuliang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I have a better way." ”

"Pass on my order - just say that this son attaches great importance to agricultural reclamation and wants to hold a farmland competition to compete in the speed of land reclamation."

"At that time, the government will send a person to pull the plow in public and compete with the people."

"Anyone who can defeat the government to pull the plow will be rewarded with ten gold!"

"No matter how high or low you are, as long as you claim to be a good farmer, you can sign up for the competition!"

When Shi Er heard this, he greatly admired: "In this way, this competition will inevitably attract much attention, and the promotion effect will be a thousand times better...... The lord has a clever plan, and the villain is ashamed. ”

Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly with satisfaction.

In this era, when it comes to creating gimmicks and promoting them, who can compare to themselves?

"Shi Er, this matter will be handed over to you to handle, if it is done well, this gentleman will be rewarded."

Shi Er was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again: "Shi Er will live up to the cultivation of the lord!" ”

Xiong Wuliang waved his hand, and Shi Er took the order to go—this guy was flying fast, obviously full of energy.

Zhong Hua was a little worried: "Lord, your subordinates have the courage to say - this ploughing competition, if no one can win, it will be a success." If someone really defeats the Quyuan plough in front of everyone, it will be even more difficult to promote the Quyuan plough at that time. ”

Xiong Wuliang is full of confidence: "Uncle Zhong don't worry, this son has his own sense of proportion." ”

Zhong Hua gave up his promise.

Xiong Wuliang pondered for a moment, then changed his words and said, "Xiaoyi in the house, is it the slave you bought?" ”

Zhong Hua was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly: "Exactly." ”

"The old monarch and marquis are honest and thrifty, and the huge Quyang Junfu has no servants to take advantage of."

"Your Majesty thought to herself, Gongzi grew up in Yingdu since he was a child, and he lived the life of a noble son, if there is no one around to serve him, I am afraid that Gongzi will not be used to it."

"The house is full of reckless men and rough people like us, and it is inevitable that these big men will not be careful enough to let these big men serve the son. The subordinate made the decision privately and bought a maid for the son...... Is Childe dissatisfied with Xiaoyi? ”

Mi Liang waved his hand: "I'm not dissatisfied...... This maid is from Yueguo, do you know? ”

Zhong Hua smiled: "Quyang borders the Yue country, and naturally there are many slaves of Yue nationality. If Gongzi is not at ease, it will not cost a lot of money to buy a slave from the Chu State to serve him personally. ”

Xiong Wuliang gently tapped his fingers on the long case in front of him, and said slowly: "Yue people...... It shouldn't be...... I look at Xiaoyi's form and demeanor, not like an ordinary peasant girl. How could it be that I became a cheap maid in Da Chu? ”

Xiong Wuliang was a project audit in his previous life and was very careful.

The servant slaves of this era were basically poor and lowly people.

However, although Xiong Wuliang has not had much contact with Xiaoyi...... But Xiaoyi's salute to Xiong Wuliang is clearly a etiquette between the nobles of the Yue Kingdom.

Although there are many stories of aristocratic ministers, because of crimes such as losing their teachers and humiliating the country, their families have been reduced to slaves.

However, that kind of slave will be strictly monitored and controlled by the relevant departments of the country, and it is basically impossible to leave the country.

That's the suspicion!

After all, Xiaoyi is close to each other, so Xiong Wuliang must be cautious.

Zhong Hua said with a smile: "The lord is suspicious - now there is still frequent turmoil in Vietnam, and it is difficult for the daughter of a nobleman to protect himself, even if he is the heir of the royal family." ”

Oh?

Zhong Hua: "After the death of the king of Yue, the position of the crown prince was undecided, and the ministers of the Yue country formed a faction, and the struggle was fierce. Not only was there a mess of government decrees in the court, but it was not uncommon for assassins to be sent to assassinate political opponents. ”

"Yue Guo, the old enemy of Great Chu, I don't think I want to stand up in a short time." Zhong Hua said with a smile.

It's not just that you can't stand up for a short time.

A few years ago, the king of Yue Wujiang was deceived by the Qi State, and poured all the country's troops to invade the Chu State, but the army was defeated and died.

Then, there is the continuous pouring of factions.

Historically, the next year (the ninth year of King Zhou, i.e., 306 B.C.) the Yue Kingdom would turn from turmoil to civil strife.

The state of Chu will take advantage of the fire to rob, swallow the entire Yue country, and expand the land for thousands of miles.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the overlord of Yue Wang Goujian handed down the Sheji Temple, and there was no incense since then.

……

If it weren't for Xiaoyi's little episode reminder, Xiong Wuliang would have really forgotten this history.

Now that he has remembered it, Xiong Wuliang must not stand idly by and watch this.

As we all know, the battle to destroy the country, the greatest credit, the greatest profit!

Population, goods, lacquerware, food, ......

This cup of soup, Quyang has to make a big deal no matter what!

One year to go, time is pressing!
