Chapter 52: The Fourth Tea
Duan You's mind flashed: Master Duan Xuan should know that he was the first person in the Duan clan in Liangzhou back then, and nine times out of ten. then said goodbye to Duan Bai and went straight to the prison.
In the prison, Duan Jing and the one-eyed ghost are in the same room. Duan You had been here twice before, both of them had left after a glance from afar, and the two of them had not seen him. At this time, he ignored it, walked straight to the prison door, and shouted: "One-eyed ghost, Jingduan, why are you two thieves not dead!" He scolded all the way away.
Out of the prison, Duan You secretly said: Only in this way can the one-eyed ghost be forced to tell Duan Xuan's whereabouts as soon as possible. Meals for two people must also be deducted.
After returning to the residence, Zhu Yuan and the others had already prepared the meal, Duan You ate it, and fell asleep.
When I slept until noon, a sergeant came to report, and the lord of the city invited me.
When Duan You went out of the gate, Gao Yuefei waited at the door, and the two walked together.
Gao Yuefei said: "Brother, after fighting with Yan Ji at night, I know that my martial arts are too weak, I want to ask you to teach me." ”
"Teach you?" Duan asked rhetorically. In recent days, the two of them have gotten along with each other without formality, like brothers, seeing Gao Yuefei's serious face, and having the heart to joke with him, he said with a straight face, "You can teach you, you have to apprentice." ”
"Apprenticeship, kneel on the ground, bow three times and bow nine times, and then salute when you meet, and call yourself Master?"
"Exactly!"
"Okay! Master is above, and the disciple has saluted you. Gao Yuefei said in a strange voice, and there was a burst of chestnuts in the cold and bulletproof paragraph, laughing, and running away with a smoke. Duan You remembered the situation when Zhu Yuan burst the soup and sunspots, pretended to be in pain, chased after him in anger, and the two walked into the front hall one after the other.
But it was Gao Qianshan who boiled three teas, and only he, Gao Yuefei, and Duan tasted it.
Duan You drank tea, and suddenly thought that the lord of Gaoqian Mountain and a city was quite busy on weekdays, how could he have such leisure during the day? I didn't ask each other, just drank tea.
Sure enough, Gao Qianshan said: "Fei'er, You'er, it's a big event to call you two here today, my father already has an idea, but I also have concerns, I want to listen to your two opinions first, and then agree with the five big heads." Seeing the solemn expressions of the two of them, he continued, "After the attack of Lu Wei, Yao Yi and Yan Ji, I think there are two things that are most important and must be prepared as soon as possible. The first is that the sergeants' martial arts are low, and they must be trained quickly, and the second is that the city walls are low and must be heightened. These two things must be done, and how to do them, you two will talk about them. ”
Gao Yuefei said: "The first thing, the responsibility is mine, starting tomorrow, I will order the soldiers to increase the intensity of the drill and extend the training time. The second thing should have been handled a long time ago, but the money and food in the city are not enough to support it, and if you want to increase taxes, I am afraid that the people will not be able to afford it, so we must be cautious. ”
Gao Qianshan said: "It is difficult to make a mistake for this, and it is difficult to determine how appropriate the tax should be. ”
Gao Yuefei said: "Let the five leaders discuss, and the majority opinion shall prevail." ”
Duan Youhu asked, "How many homeless people and beggars are there here?"
Gao Qianshan said: "Inside and outside the city, there should be five or six hundred, if there is a natural disaster, it will be more than a thousand, nearly ten thousand, there is no fixed number, depending on the size of the disaster." "I don't know what I mean.
Duan You asked Gao Yuefei again: "How many sergeants are there?"
Gao Yuefei said that there were 50,000 in wartime and 5,000 in peacetime.
Duan You said: "When I was in Gaogou Fort in Liangzhou, there was a good man surnamed Chen who called the local homeless people and beggars to provide food and lodging and let them open up the wasteland and farm. Among these homeless people and beggars, most of them are people whose families have been greatly changed, who are poor and destitute, who have food to eat and a place to live, who are satisfied with themselves, and who feel that they do not eat in vain, which is what people live like. Of course, there are very few people who are lazy and lazy, and they only beg not to work, and they should be forced to work for this. Of these five or six hundred, there must be two hundred laborers who can work. ”
"Yes. Gao Qianshan and Gao Yuefei's eyes lit up.
"Five thousand sergeants, five hundred per month, plus two hundred homeless and beggars, the base number is seven hundred, which is enough. ”
Gao Yuefei said: "It will take a year for 700 people to strengthen the city wall, is it too long?"
Duan You said: "A year is not a long time, when today, the Jin State in the east of Yangtho City is at war and confrontation with the Qin State, the Wei State, and the Yan State, and the Qiang Department in the north is fighting, and the Shu Han are also exhausted under the oppression of the Qin State. As for Lu Wei, Yao Yi and other thieves, no matter how high and strong the city wall is, they can't stop them, and the most important thing at the moment is to enhance the martial arts skills of the sergeants. ”
Gao Yuefei's eyes widened when he heard this, and he praised: "Could you be the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming? In the past, Kong Ming had Longzhong, and what you are talking about now is exactly the border city strategy!" How did he know that Duan Youwei was looking for Ling'er and had a general grasp of the situation of various countries.
Duan You punched him with a smile, Gao Yuefei exaggerated the pain, and said, "Guan Yunchang is possessed, and it hurts the eldest brother to death!"
Gao Qianshan stroked his beard and smiled: "It's a good idea to have a child, do it slowly, it will come naturally, not increase the taxes of the people, let the displaced people have dignity, and temper the army, that's it." ”
Duan You said again: "Drill sergeant, I still have a humble opinion, please ask Brother Yuefei for advice." ”
Gao Yuefei said: "Just say it, I will learn from each other's strengths." ”
Duan You then talked eloquently: "The army fights with knives and guns in close combat, and uses bows and arrows in long-distance battles. This detachment is quite particular about training, a number of teams practice guns, a number of teams practice knives, a number of teams practice bows and arrows, and a team teaches a leader. Don't let the soldiers be exhaustive, because most of them have limited abilities, and only those who are outstanding can draw inferences from one another, and know everything, if they kill the enemy bravely and thoughtfully, they are great talents as generals.
"The key is to arrange the troops in formation, combine the soldiers with different tactics, train in formation, and simulate actual combat. It is still necessary to work hard day by day. On the other hand, 50,000 sergeants should be trained in rotation so that they do not miss their livelihood.
"When choosing a master of swords, guns, bows and arrows, you can consider setting up a martial arts competition, which can stimulate the soldiers' feelings for martial arts, and can also dig out strange talents.
"Defend the city, in addition to the army, you can also establish a group of people, specializing in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, a total of two or three hundred people are enough, ten people are a group, each group keeps a place, usually for the people, each of them makes a living, select a few people as the leader, and the city lord is directly under the jurisdiction. ”
After Duan You finished speaking, Gao Qianshan and Gao Yuefei both looked at him speechlessly, as if they didn't know anything. Gao Yuefei suddenly patted Duan You's shoulder and sighed: "Brother, brother, just worship you as the chief soldier, I will be your assistant, and I will be willing to be my brother." ”
Duan You smiled and said: "I just dated with the heir of Wei Guotuoba for a few days a few days ago, and I just learned some skins, it is purely on paper, the class has an axe, and I don't know anything about leading troops to fight, and my brother has a strategy, not like me who is half a bottle." ”
Gao Qianshan laughed and said, "I'm very happy today. Come, try the fourth tea I made myself. As he spoke, he picked up another delicate teapot from the brazier, which was still bubbling and boiling.
Gao Yuefei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly poured the remaining tea in the teacup, picked up the teacup, looked at Gao Qianshan and poured half a colorless "tea" inward, and kept talking about making some more and more again. Gao Qianshan just ignored it, and Xiang Duan You also brewed half a cup of tea.
After drying for a while, Gao Yuefei drank it all, and there was a sound in his mouth, which seemed to be a jade liquid.
Duan You also picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, but it was as light as water, with a slightly fishy smell, but it was actually unpalatable. Just when he was confused, he saw Gao Yuefei standing up and dancing his sword in the hall, and after a while, I saw that his face was flushed and panting like a cow. After dancing for a while, his face gradually recovered, and his steps were brisk.
Gao Yuefei said excitedly: "Wonderful, wonderful." Suddenly, Duan Youdao, "Why don't you react and can't move?"
Duan You smiled and said, "Nothing?" Seeing Gao Qianshan also looked at him in surprise, he asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Gao Qianshan said, "Is there a hot current in your body?"
"No?" Duan You got up and spun around, "No." ”
Gao Qianshan brewed another half a cup and let Duan You drink it. After a good while, Duan You's body still had no reaction.
"Weird!" Gao Qianshan said, and let Duan You drink half a cup again, still the same.
Gao Qianshan's face was worried, touched Duan You's forehead, and said, "You'er, don't scare me, according to the truth, you are dizzy, your body is swollen, and you can't move?"
Duan You smiled, got up, played a dog stick method in the hall, flew and jumped, and the bamboo stick "dong-" pestle on the top of the hall, and then floated to the ground, breathing as usual. said: "Uncle, I know that this tea can enhance my strength, I have been in Qingtu Lake for eight years, and I eat Cistanche and Suoyang every day. Saying that, after mentioning the teapot cow drink, Gao Qianshan and Gao Yue couldn't stop it, and a can of "tea" had all entered the stomach.
Gao Qianshan stumbled and said: "Mess around, quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”
Gao Yuefei rushed out of the hall.
After a while, Duan You felt that a hot air rose in his abdomen, gradually turning into a hot flow, so he walked to the open space in the center of the hall, tied into a horse step, slowly raised his hands, and then slowly descended from his chest, along the Ren vein, and sank the heat flow in the dantian. If it is several times, run the second vein of Rendu, and after a few weeks, then direct the heat flow to the meridian of Youlongzhang. After more than a dozen meridians ran one by one, Duan You was overjoyed, when the meridians such as the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian and other meridians such as the fifteen palms of the previous "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" were running, the true qi was only as thick as a little finger, and now it had increased to the size of a thumb. According to Master Sheng Wuwei's words, Duan You has already practiced the Dragon Palm to eighty percent!
In less than half an hour, Duan Yougong has been completed. Seeing Gao Qianshan, Gao Yuefei, Chu Imperial Doctor and two imperial doctors standing around him in the hall, looking at himself like a monster, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you uncle for the treasure tea." ”
Gao Qianshan didn't believe it, so he asked the imperial doctor of Chu to take his pulse, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he let the imperial doctor of Chu and the others leave.
Gao Qianshan and Gao Yuefei were still amazed, and Gao Qianshan said: "Do you know what this tea is made of? Dragon eggs, ancient dragon eggs, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years old! Back then, my father accidentally got two, and three generations of my family have been cooking tea and taking it, but they have not finished taking one. Take it once every seven days, take only one large piece of broad beans, boil for an hour, take only one mouthful per person, and halve the first dose. I saw that your internal strength was strong and it was not halved, but I never expected it to be like this! How did you dissolve the heat flow in your body?"
