"The teacher is now more and more curious, what kind of changes will this royal highness bring to the world......

The old man Huangshi was holding a bamboo cane, looking around at the unheard of scene in front of him, and a deep throbbing flashed in his long narrow eyes. He was the true hermit of his time.

His subordinates not only trained a genius like Zhang Liang, but also taught a genius like Xu Cheng who could leave a name in history, and even the carving techniques of the Quyang people in later generations were passed down from his hands. For everything you see, you naturally have your own judgments and standards.

Although, after this reunion, he already attached great importance to this emperor's eldest grandson and had great expectations, Zhao Ying's performance still refreshed his inherent cognition repeatedly.

There are many policies, he didn't even dare to think about them before he saw them, but in the place of the emperor's eldest grandson, it was as natural as eating and drinking, as if those policies were naturally like that.

The most frightening thing is that if you think about it carefully, you will find that none of these policies have far-reaching intentions, and they are likely to work wonders.

is like the group of forbidden soldiers in front of me who are complaining and complaining, and at the same time are very conscious of reading.

There are many drawbacks of Great Qin, but one of the most fatal drawbacks is that with the unification of the world and the stability of the surrounding areas, the huge and elite army of a hundred battles is suddenly useless!

It's like a horse-drawn carriage that has been galloping for tens or hundreds of years, and suddenly the road ahead is cut off.

Waiting for it, there is only one end, and that is the car crash and death!

If no one can solve this problem, all the glory and prominence of Great Qin, all the cultural and martial arts, and all the invincible will be wiped out and scattered.

He had thought about this question before, and the answer was no solution.

But the scene he saw in the past few days gave him a real hope that the carriage would not have to crash. The emperor's eldest grandson opened an unprecedented road in a desperate situation where there was no way to go and no way to stop.

"Let's go, haven't you always wanted to meet the emperor's eldest grandson these days, when you're on the road? Let's go, take advantage of some spare time today, and take you to meet the emperor's eldest grandson for the teacher......"

The old man of Huangshi looked at his little apprentice with a smile, he couldn't see that starting from Xianyang, his little apprentice had slowly turned from curiosity about His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson to amazement, admiration, and even now it has become a deep admiration.

"Master, what do you mean that I want to see, it is clear that you want to see, if you say so, I won't accompany you-"

Xu Cheng stomped his foot lightly in some shame, but he didn't hesitate to keep up.

"Master, are you going to ask these questions?"

Xu Cheng stepped forward very obediently, grabbed Huang Shigong's arm, and looked around at the forbidden army who were reading together in the rain in front of him.

Huang Shigong nodded slowly.

"I think that the eldest grandson of the emperor is really very likely to have found a path that can save Great Qin, and I want to know what his path looks like......

Speaking of this, he paused the bamboo cane in his hand and smiled softly.

"Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night. Don't worry, I don't ask about the rest, the teacher is seventy and six this year, some are patient, I will calmly and slowly observe, to see what kind of variables this only "variable" will bring to the people of this world, and see if this variable is good or ......evil."

For the pair of masters and apprentices who took the initiative to come together, Zhao Ying was quite pleased. Let people hold the freshly burned hot tea, prepare the new-style hot pot, and then let people call Zhang Liang and Ah Nu to accompany them.

A few people gathered around the small red-hot stove, eating and drinking, while looking leisurely, gossiping very casually.

"Your Highness, this hot pot is lighter and more convenient than the ordinary Wen Ding, and it tastes more delicious, especially with a small iron piece separating it, both sides are clear and turbid, like yin and yang, which is quite interesting, and even tastes like a different kind of deliciousness......"

Huang Shigong picked up the wine glass, gestured slightly to Zhao Ying, then put it to his mouth, took a sip gently, and put it down again, now that he is older, even if it is ordinary rice wine, he is quite restrained when he drinks it.

"If you like it, sir, I'll ask the ovary to send you the recipe when you go back......"

Zhao Ying smiled and raised his glass in return and drank it all.

As far as his current physical fitness is concerned, the wine of this era is no longer any special difference from ordinary tea, and drinking too much can no longer have any effect except that it will make the stomach rise slightly.

"Then the old man will thank you first......"

The old man of Huangshi couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhao Ying's boldness and drank refreshingly.

"Your Highness is really a good drinker - even when you are old and young, this amount of alcohol is not as good as that of Your Highness......"

Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hand.

"The best thing about drinking in this world is that you are slightly drunk, your chest is open, your blood is running, and you forget your worries. Therefore, on weekdays, if there are no guests, I will not drink when I am free, so as not to be bored......"

Before Zhao Ying's words fell, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out in the tent.

“…… In the past few days, seeing the generals and soldiers in the army, they are all studying hard, and they are curious, so I specially inquired about them, and listened to the meaning of their words, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun seems to have other arrangements for them......"

After speaking, Huang Shigong leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, stroked his beard, and looked at Zhao Ying in front of him.

Zhao Ying saw him ask about this, and immediately said with a smile.

"Yes, but it's just a pilot, whether it can be done or not, we have to see how effective the trial is......"

This kind of thing, Zhao Ying did it publicly, and he didn't want to hide it from anyone.

In fact, before this request was announced, he had already written to the First Emperor to inform him. After all, this is the elite of the forbidden army, and they are all the descendants of the First Emperor, even if he is favored by the First Emperor again, without the nod of the First Emperor, how dare he do those promises.

"What if it works?"

Hearing this, the old man of Huangshi raised his head and looked at the emperor's eldest grandson in front of him calmly and deeply.

"If it is feasible, then make it clear to Your Majesty, and try to implement the world - if it is decided today, although my Great Qin wants to ensure sufficient deterrence, there is no reason to keep a millions of troops......"

Speaking of this, the look on Zhao Ying's face was a little more upright, and he was very sincere.

"But we can't simply disband and repatriate and pull down, we have to find a way to settle down for these loyal and brave people who have fought bloodily for Great Qin......

Zhao Ying's tone paused.

"And this is the way I found for them - I believe in their loyalty and bravery, and I also believe in their ability, and they go deep into the counties and townships, guard the place for my Daqin, and deter Xiaoxiao, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone......"

The old man Huangshi was silent for a long time, nodded seriously, and praised sincerely.

"Your Highness's move is simply a stroke of genius......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"Mr. praised it falsely, but it was just for the sake of the country's social welfare......"

The reason why Zhao Ying suddenly remembered this was mainly because the last time he exchanged letters with the First Emperor, he heard the First Emperor mention the placement of the army in Longxi, Shangjun, Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Yuyang Prefectures.

With the pacification of Hexi and the new establishment of the three counties of Mobei, these counties have lost the status of border counties, and another issue is inevitably put on the agenda.

That is, what about the hundreds of thousands of troops guarding these places?

How to deal with it has become a very difficult problem.

Unless you cross the Western Regions, according to the rough map provided by Zhao Ying before, continue to open the border to the west, or dissolve on the spot. But the First Emperor knew very well in his heart that the decades-long war had just subsided, and the people were determined that the current Great Qin really needed to stabilize first.

This made Zhao Ying suddenly remember the move of the later generations.

Let this group of people who have the most affection and loyalty to Daqin go deep into the grassroots, which can just make up for Daqin's lack of control over the grassroots.

As a result, on the fourteenth day after he replied to the First Emperor's letter, he received a reply from the First Emperor!

Received an affirmative reply from the First Emperor.

Although the conversation was in full swing, the old man Huangshi was nearly eighty years old after all, and after drinking some wine, soon after it got dark, he took Xu Cheng up and went back to his tent to rest.

As for Ah Nu, she consciously stayed and waited for Zhao Ying to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

I can only hear the spring rain like a tide, and there are wild birds chirping.

This sudden spring rain fell for a night.

Early the next morning, the blue sky is like washing, everywhere exudes the fragrance of grass and trees, looking far away, the mountains are undulating, the new green is gratifying, such as a lively and agile splashed ink landscape painting.

Under the sunlight, it glows with a layer of colorful light.

"It's so picturesque—"

Zhao Ying took a deep breath, glanced around with some emotion, then withdrew his thoughts and looked at Zhang Liang, who was walking quickly.

"Ovary, what's the situation, the front can affect the passage of cars and horses-"

"Back to Your Highness, the road is a little slippery, especially at the turn ahead, there is a steep slope, it is not a big problem for people and horses to pass, but I am afraid that those burdens are a little troublesome, and if you are not careful, there will be casualties......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Turning his head to look at the sky, he thought about it and nodded.

"Then rest for a while, and wait for the road conditions to improve in the afternoon, and then set off......"

Although he had great strength, the situation was not urgent at this time, and there was no need for anyone to carry the baggage.

However, he thought in his heart that when he had the opportunity in the future, he must cultivate the official road to all parts of the world. In fact, since the Qin Dynasty unified the country, roads have been continuously built, but most of them are concentrated in the north.

In addition to resisting the occasional invasions of the Xiongnu and Donghu, the most important factor was the topography of the south itself. It is mountainous, watery, and rugged, which brings great difficulties to the construction of official roads.

Not to mention anything else, just in order to effectively control the counties set up in Yelang, Yunnan and other places, Chang Luan was sent to lead people to build the "five-foot road", I don't know how much people's and material resources were spent.

Look at the road opened by Chang Luan, although it is only five feet wide, but because the mountains along the way are too dangerous, the difficulty of digging through is almost unimaginable. After all, Zhao Ying had not yet invented explosives at that time, and Chang Luan could only use the primitive method of "fire and water excitation". to open up a mountain trail.

However, to his surprise, it was not yet noon when they welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

A squad of about 100 county soldiers was led by a middle-aged man wearing two or five hundred main armor, and a young man dressed as a thin man.

Someone from Huiji County!

"The last general Ju Lu and Jun Cheng Chen Zhan have seen His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun——"

The two people led by threw the reins on the horse's back, jumped off the horse's back very neatly, walked quickly in front of Zhao Ying, and bowed deeply to Zhao Ying.

"The lower officials and others are ordered by the county guard Li You, and the county lieutenant general General Lu to welcome His Royal Highness into the guild——"

After speaking, he took out his seal letter from his bosom and handed it over with both hands.

Cone Gu strode forward, stretched out his hand to take it, and handed it to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying did not inspect the official's seal, but opened the letter he handed over with some surprise, just glanced at the handwriting on it, and stepped forward with a smile to help Ju Luhe's figure with his own hands.

"General Ju, Chen Juncheng doesn't have to be polite, there are two people who greet each other, and they have worked hard all the way——"

Only then did the two straighten up and look at the legendary emperor's eldest grandson.

Standing nine feet tall, handsome, heroic, standing there, the whole person is like an unshakable hill, but it gives people a gentle feeling like a spring breeze, with an aura that makes people close.

"Xia Guan and the others were supposed to rush to the border early yesterday to greet His Highness, but they encountered some sudden accidents on the way, and a bridge along the way fell into disrepair and was washed away by stagnant water......

At this point, the two bowed down again and pleaded guilty.

"Please also ask Your Highness to punish ......"

Strictly speaking, the two of them are already out of date. Therefore, the two of them were very apprehensive in their hearts, and they didn't know what would happen to them.

Zhao Ying saw that they all looked frightened, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, reached out to hold their big hands, and said with a gentle smile.

"The bridge is in disrepair, and it is not your sin, why are you guilty? Besides, it's already very hard for you to come here to pick me up after you have traveled so far, and how can I bear to punish you—get up......"

The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at Zhao Ying again, there was already an indescribable sense of intimacy in their eyes.

Zhao Ying went out to the south of the Yangtze River this time, passing through several counties, although they were all received ceremoniously, but it was the first time that he sent people to the boundary line of the county like Huiji County.

This made him a little flattered.

The third uncle of his own family, needless to say, has always been close, and this time, he was personally invited by him and sent someone to pick him up, which is not unexpected, but Li You, the county guard, really gave enough face and showed great enthusiasm.

After all, a county guard, that is already a veritable member of the imperial court, not to mention, there is also a father who is the left minister and has always been very unclear about his attitude?

It can really only be said that he can make such a gesture today as an unexpected joy! (End of chapter)
