Chapter Forty-Three: Miscellaneous Conversations

The temporary residence, Xi Fuqin sits by the lotus flower. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoXu Ao sat cross-legged on the side.

"My uncle is His Majesty's younger brother, and he was sent by His Majesty to learn art under the Sword Saint since he was a child. He has a very close relationship with His Majesty, so he said that it must be not bad to guarantee you a bright future. ”

"Oh"

"It's just that there are three things to remember here. First, His Royal Highness Yingyi, this person is quite ambitious and irritable, but he is a person who values love and righteousness, and you decide how to treat it. Second, since he went to Xianyang with him, he went to Yanwutang to stay for a few years, and if he didn't learn a few first-class classes, he didn't want to be an official. Third, don't mention the words of Qin's rebellion against Zhou, the true background of the Great Zhou is not something that the other twelve countries can contend with, and the so-called things now are just striving for a balance. ”

"Got it"

"This Great Qin's court, I also told you that you went to the province and offended people who shouldn't be offended. First of all, let's talk about the three princes. Prime Minister, this person is well versed in the way of being an official, and he is the best person to get along with as a person, as long as you are loyal to the Qin State, even if you point to his nose and scold, he can laugh it off. Lord Taiwei, nominally the head of the military attache of the Qin State, does not have much military power, and all the transfers of more than 100,000 people require the permission of His Majesty. But this man was extremely loyal, and was known as a loyal dog of His Majesty. Therefore, if Daqin has these two people, the political situation will be stable. Doctor Shi, Master Shi was born in the Zhou room, always like to hang the word loyalty on his lips, learn from Confucianism, and keep dead soldiers and male pets in captivity behind his back, this person is extremely resentful, don't offend. It should be noted that Lord Zongzheng, this person is His Majesty's own uncle, who failed to compete for the throne with the previous king, and was in charge of patriarchal etiquette. Xi took the flask from his side, filled it with two glasses, and handed one to Xu Ao.

"The rest of you are full of large and small factions, but you were recommended by your uncle, and they will definitely not embarrass you. There won't be much intersection between those county guards. It's just that you have to remember that in the next few years, I am afraid that something big will happen in the world, and learn more skills, so that you can have more possibilities to save your life in the future. ”

"Huh?"

"There are some things I can tell you, and some things I can't say. You just need to know that I won't hurt you. ”

"Got it"

"You go, before you leave tomorrow, say goodbye to Qin Laodao. ”

"Hmm" Xu Ao got up and said goodbye, pouring his wine at night, but it was still full on the side.

Seeing this, Xi shook his head and smiled.

Half a month ago, the maidservant who was holding an umbrella for Liang Duwei outside the city came in from outside the courtyard gate and saluted Xi: "Lord Xi, Your Highness invites Xiao Gongzi Xu to come over." ”

Yuki nodded to indicate that she understood.

Xu Ao followed the maidservant.

At this moment, the seventh prince Yingyi had just come out of the dungeon where the yellow-faced man was imprisoned, and his face was gloomy.

The man and the black-faced man were by the side, and no one dared to speak, for fear of touching the mold.

Xu Ao followed the maidservant girl as soon as he came out of the small courtyard where he lived temporarily, and met Yingyi and his party who were walking back.

Yingyi waved her hand away from the maidservant, looked at the six- or seven-year-old ghost in front of her, and after a while, Xu Ao was furious in her heart before she said, "Can you ride a horse?"

didn't wait for Xu Ao to answer, so he ordered the black-faced man to give one of the two horses he was leading to Xu Ao.

"Ride with me, I've got something to ask you. "After that, he turned over and got on his horse.

Although Xu Ao had ridden a few times in the horse farm in his previous life, he was an adult at that time, and there was also a person who led the horse. This is the first time I've ridden a horse alone.

The black-faced man carried Xu Ao on horseback and stayed on the side of the road with the man.

Xu Ao rode a jujube-colored horse and caught up with Yingyi, who was riding a white horse in front.

At this time, Xu Ao, who was a little dizzy, found that this stirrup was actually only on one side, and it was just a cloth circle, presumably just to facilitate getting on and off the horse. There was nothing to step on on the soles of his feet, and Xu Ao shook even more.

Yingyi glanced at Xu Ao, who almost got off the horse, and slowed down the horse: "It seems that you really can't ride a horse." If you go to Xianyang, you can ride in the carriage with me. ”

"This horse doesn't have stirrups, and if I had stirrups, I could still ride them. Xu Ao argued.

"What is a stirrup?" asked Yingyi.

It's bad, Xu Ao secretly said in his heart, is it possible, no one in Daqin has invented the stirrup yet?!, but at this moment, Yingyi asked, but he had to explain: "What about the stirrup, it is two iron rings, and it is not an iron ring, it should be an iron semicircle." Hang them on both sides of the saddle so that people can step on them, so that they will be more stable on the horse's back. When a horse runs and bumps, there is also a place to step on, and people will not fall off. ”

Ying Yi thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up. The haze brought by the yellow-faced man suddenly emptied: "Stirrups, stirrups, good, good, there is such a divine object, my Great Qin Iron Horse should be in the world!"

Yingyi's eyes when she looked at Xu Ao were suddenly different. In the past, if it was just because of Uncle Wang's orders, he was going to bring this little ghost back to Xianyang and send him to Yanwutang, stay until a few years later, and arrange a petty official casually, and forget it. At this moment, Yingyi had a feeling of picking up a treasure: "Who created this stirrup?"

Who created the stirrup, how could Xu Ao know this, but he didn't know, but it was more like he was hiding it, after all, no one in Kyushu had thought of such a stirrup. Xu Ao had no choice but to harden his head and plant these on the old widower who had long since died: "This stirrup was made by my father"

Yingyi sighed, a little regretful. Last night, he had already flipped through Xu Ao's information. I also know that the old widower invented the wooden bird, but died under the arrows of the Qin army because he violated the law. I didn't expect that there would be these creations, and it was a pity.

Yingyi didn't pay attention, in this small border village, the whole village doesn't talk about horses, even bad horses, what's the use of inventing this stirrup, riding a bull?

Yingyi also seemed to feel that this topic was a little heavy, so she changed the topic: "You have a month in this sunset pass." Did you ever think there was anything wrong?"

It's bad, Xu Ao is a little stunned now, how can he suddenly pull to the top of the sunset pass, if there is anything wrong, there is nothing wrong. The ancient city in my mind is not as majestic as Sunset Pass.

Yingyi saw that Xu Ao didn't talk, and thought he was a little worried: "But it's okay to say"

But it doesn't hurt to say it, but I really don't know what to say. Xu Ao scratched his head, so he had to find fault with him: "I think Liang Duwei doesn't seem to be close to the soldiers." "Count Lao Liang unlucky, who called this sunset pass a few guards, only he is the least familiar with himself. It's always hard for acquaintances to find faults.

Yingyi stopped and pondered, and Xu Ao had to sit aside.

After a while, Yingyi nodded: "In order to prevent the appearance of guards and generals from collaborating with the enemy, it is indeed not a good thing for the generals here to dispatch every three years." There will be no permanent soldiers, and there will be no permanent soldiers. It does have a bad effect on the defenders. Of the several border passes, only Feixue Pass is the most courageous, which must be related to General Chen's ten years of taking Feixue Pass as his home. When I go back to Xianyang this time, I want to talk to the captain. That's a great idea. ”

I am grass, just to find an uncooked person to pick bones in the egg, and it also extends to the strategy of governing the country and leading the army. Sure enough, people can't talk nonsense.

"You have any other ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Not only can you say what is in the sunset, but also what is inside and outside the gate. ”

"This 、、、" Xu Ao somehow suddenly remembered the old widower's appearance before he died, and his mood suddenly fell: "Can Great Qin treat the border people equally? After all, the border people are also the people of Great Qin, but now, they are not even as good as other races." Their parents were Qin people, and their grandparents were also Qin people, but how could the border guards treat them as Qin people? They were beaten, insulted, burned, killed, and looted as usual. This is forcing the border people to alien races. ”

Xu Ao looked at Yingyi, Yingyi didn't think about this question, and asked Xu Ao: "Then what do you think?"

Xu Ao's heart was horizontal, anyway, the stirrup was already plagiarized, and he didn't care about plagiarism a little more, Lord Cao hadn't been born yet, and he didn't know if there would be Cao Cao in this other world, but he didn't have to think about whether Cao Cao's coffin board could be suppressed: "Tuntian system, move the border people outside the pass to Sunset Pass." Although it is a mountain range, terraces can be carved on the mountain. The land was owned by Daqin, and the border people who moved inward were only responsible for farming. Every year, a certain amount of grain is handed over to Sunset Pass, and the rest is left for their own rations. Then in order to get more food, he is bound to work hard to cultivate, after all, the amount handed over is fixed, but the output can be determined by manpower, this is Mintun. In addition to training on weekdays, some sergeants can also be allowed to cultivate the land and raise livestock, which is a military cantonment. In this way, it not only solves the problem of internal migration and survival of border people, but also solves the problem of grain being transported hundreds of miles away from the customs at Sunset. ”

At this moment, Yingyi was surprised, it was completely like she had picked up a treasure!
