Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Winter Offensive

Can't let Tubo have a chance to breathe. Ever since Mr. Cheng led his army straight into Tuyuhun, he has never stopped raiding the Tubo-occupied area. The Tubo people who have the advantage of geographical advantage are guarding the highlands and dangers. At the same time, they gather on the main roads entering Tubo and Jiannan The heavy soldiers and Tang Jun opened up and confronted each other.

Xingchuankou is located at the intersection of Tubo, Jiannan, and Tuyu Hunshan Roads. The unique geographical location of this little-known Sancha intersection has become a strategic point of contention between Tang and Tu.The Tubo people would rather give up most of the plains, but held this pass desperately. The [-] troops stationed at the newly built passes in four places around them, and started a tug-of-war with the attacking [-] Tang troops. During this period, the Tang army relied on a well-trained small group of assault troops to quietly detour to the mountainside to effectively raid and control one of the passes with the fewest defenders. However, because the follow-up troops lacked mountain combat experience, they were divided by the Tubo reinforcements on the mountain road for a long time and could not form effective support. Watching the dare-to-death team bravely resist dozens of times the enemy's violent attack for two days and three nights on the checkpoint on the mountainside, two thousand brave men marched through the mouth of the river.

The battle report in my hand is only a few lines, without embellishment or exaggeration. It is not difficult to read with my current level of education. I really don't want to link the scrap of paper in my hand with the tragic situation on the front line. , The warriors failed to leave even a complete body, and left everything on the mountains of a foreign country. The wives, children, and children at home could not even find the correct direction to pay homage to them.

Telling myself that I should get used to this, I gritted my teeth, rubbed the stiff muscles on my face, tried to soften my expression, and bowed my hands towards the northwest out of thin air, no matter whether they were pig slaughterers or farmers in their lifetime, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority in the Shura field , at least in my heart they are all heroes.

Today, the funds of the inner government have finally been squeezed out like toothpaste, and I am one of the heads of the academy.I couldn't help being happy, I didn't expect to see the military newspaper submitted by Zuo Wuwei when I went home, my good mood was gone, as if a healthy person suddenly received a critical illness notice.

Fortunately, it is already the middle of winter. For both the enemy and us, how to survive the winter with the least loss and lay a good foundation for the next year is the most important thing. This is probably the last large-scale contact this year. .

"Husband met something that didn't go your way?" Ying entered the room and saw me grimacing.He stepped forward to touch my forehead, took my hand and learned the doctor's pulse.

"Look at the tongue coating?" I turned my face to look at the Mongolian doctor next to me, "Sit next to me and tell me about the situation at home these days. I have been too busy to help you." Whenever I feel down, I want to hear Ying talked briefly to the parents around her, and the curative effect was good.

"En." Ying called the maid to change the pot of hot tea, and sat down next to me. "Husband, did you get angry outside?"

I shake my head. "It's my turn to be angry with others, but it's not their turn to be angry with me."

"But I'm in a disturbed mood. My concubine is also upset for a few days in a month. When I see people, I hate people, and when I see dogs chasing dogs." She looked up at me. "Your husband too?"

"This... is difficult in theory." Looking at Ying's smiling face, she stretched out her hand and squeezed it, "Slick lady."

"Hehe," Ying tightened my hand on my face.Rubbing lightly, "There is no river that cannot be crossed. If you stumble, don't think about it," said and pushed me to stand up, "Turn around in the garden, and the cold wind will blow it all away. Why don't you go out before it's dark?" It's okay to walk."

"En," I nodded, got up and pulled a leather cloak on.Go straight to the front yard.Just in time for the female workers in the family to get off work, some of them have been working in the Wang family for more than two months, and once they get to know each other, there will be less taboos.

Ladies first, I stopped far away and watched the flow of people gradually disperse. When I was about to take a step, I found three generations of male handymen in the mansion.They all took advantage of the female workers' time to shrink their heads and hide nearby to enjoy their eyesight when they were off work.People from my royal family littered.Stretching out his legs, he kicked a peeper behind Wannianqing out, and cursed: "Can't you just stand at the door to see it? It's a disgrace!"

"Yes. Yes!" The man got up, nodded and retreated, opened the distance, turned and ran away.

Dalai came out of the last yard, saw her fasten the door and yelled, "Come here!"

He trotted all the way to the front, looked at me nervously, and quickly lowered his head.

"How's it going?"

"There are still few people..." Dalai's biggest improvement recently is seeing that I no longer tie a knot in my belt.However, his cautious appearance remained unchanged, and he still had the same expression as if he had stolen something.

"Not yet?" I didn't count the number of people just now, but I guess it's at least forty people. The temporary workshop is only so big. If you recruit people, you won't be able to work. No one can spin the spinning wheel on the bus.

"The cottonseed was just picked yesterday, and I'm not skilled at the spinning wheel. One person can't spin a catty of cotton a day..." Dalai timidly rubbed his cuffs, not daring to look up.

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Dalai was delayed in picking cotton seeds, and was afraid in his heart. Seeing that Ying and I both wanted to hide. "Take your time, there is not much cotton left for spinning and weaving this year, and I won't rush you to ask for it."

"Next year..." Dalley pulled his skirt, "Next year is..."

Pointing to the greenhouse on the main hall, "Go in and say, you have to spend money if you get sick from the cold." He called the maid to bring a pot of hot tea, went into the hall, found a chair and sat down. "Sit down! Feel free to say whatever you want to say. Before you talk about the difficulties, you can solve them for you. If you can't, don't blame them. If you don't make it clear, don't come to me when you encounter difficulties."

"Next year..." Dalai shrank towards the armrest of the chair, "Next year..."

"I can't even ask questions, next year is still your business! After holding back for a long time, I still expect you to take care of the property for me. With such a lack of confidence, why should people be obedient?" He patted the desktop, "No one To kill you, you should hold your head up when you walk, stare at the other person's eyes when you talk, or learn to look at the bridge of your nose if you are not used to it, and your voice should be loud, and you have to hold your head out when you stand there. Start now!"

Dalai tried to look up at me, but failed as soon as he made eye contact with me, and immediately lowered his head reflexively.Seeing that I was dissatisfied with patting the table, I mustered up the courage to try again, repeated several times, but still failed.

"Try your best." It's embarrassing for this girl, she's not in the right mood.Although I took the risk and got a free identity, I still haven't come out of the shadow of family ruin and death. I am wary of all Tang people and always regard my family of three as wild animals at the top of the food chain. "I'm afraid that the two wives have feelings for each other. You have to learn to communicate with others more. Before hiring, you have to show your aura of being a wealthy lady before. Don't tell me that you didn't abuse the maids before."

"No..." Dalai shook his head sincerely, "No..."

"Learn if you don't!" He slapped the table angrily.It was the first time I saw such a boring noble lady.The procedures for human beings to be inherently evil do not comply.When Ying was a girl, she took care of the second daughter a lot, but now that she is a family, she puts down the airs of the eldest lady and plays the sign of affinity.The second daughter is not in charge of the family, and she is a deadly pick on the servants if she loses her temper.At first I couldn’t get used to it. I have received more education on equality for everyone, and I have a prejudice against the evil feudal society.There is no time to criticize her. "Not for me, but for yourself. You have to learn how to live in the future. You give me money to work, and I will reward you for a good job. If you don't do well, I will clean you up. If they are disobedient, they will miss work and miss work, and directly involve your interests. It is reasonable for you to suppress employment. Think about the truth first, it doesn’t matter if you are kind or not. Kind people have to live." Pour a bowl of tea and hand it over, and the voice is soft, "Busy It’s been a day, let’s drink hot water first. This year is just a practice, and next year will be the real big battle. To establish your own image in this year, temper, think about how much you can change your temper when you kill the princess with a hairpin point."

Assassinated by Tidarai.I was so scared that I almost spilled the tea bowl, and bit my lip in panic.

"No one is going to pursue it. Now you are contributing to my Wang family. If you can use you, you will be able to protect you. No one will touch the people in my house, not even the princess." I got up and took two steps back and forth. Treating servants badly, Steward Qian, Shopkeeper Hu, and Er Niangzi. These people are all examples. In the future, you will be married. The Wang family will also become your natal family to support you, and you will not suffer any disadvantages if you go to any house."

"Thank you..." Dalai got up and bowed to me. "Next year there will be 300 people."

"Next year's words will be discussed next year, and this year's will be smoothed out first." I don't know how much production will be produced next year, and the light estimate is ten times that of this year.

"I want to recruit [-] first this year."

"Crazy?" It's a good thing to be courageous, but it's wrong to have no idea. "It doesn't make sense. There are six thousand catties of cotton spinning and weaving. It doesn't matter if you slow down. There are so many people that our family has no place to store it."

"Fifty at first, put them back when you are proficient, and recruit another fifty to practice, and there will be a hundred next year."

Dalai probably seldom expresses such complicated meanings in Chinese, and he stumbled, but I still understood, "Just do what you want, and I will only look at the results in the future, regardless of the process. The construction period is short, the quality is good, and the cost is low. You just think according to these three requirements, and use your brain more.” While talking to Dalai, when he saw the second daughter come back, “Go and eat, and make up your mind in bed at night.”

After communicating with Dalai and wandering aimlessly around the palace twice, I feel much better.The piercing night wind was blowing vigorously, and the smell of earth cut the face with slight pain, and it was estimated that the temperature was about to cool down.

"It seems that it will never snow." The housekeeper has already started to work. Although heavy snow is rare, once the road is blocked, it will bring inconvenience to life.Doctor Zhou transported a large amount of hay and straw mats to the barn, stood in the middle of the yard, and was talking loudly to the housekeeper. house.

Before dawn, I was woken up by the sound of snowdrops hitting the ground. The hot quilt was comfortable, and the head was arched inwards. The movement of wrapping the quilt was a bit big, which caused the dissatisfaction of the second daughter, so I gave her little butt to air out up.Ying was already groping in the dark to get dressed, "Get up as soon as you wake up, you're still busy all year round, don't delay your business."

"I want to ask for leave..." Turned over and crawled under the quilt, counted to three times in my heart, then gave up, and decided to get up after twenty times this time.The second girl scratched me, and I couldn't see her face clearly, so I had to stick to her. Suddenly the oil lamp came on, and Ying caught the two of them face to face. Then, the second girl's head was lifted from one side, The naked buttocks were pulled out, and after two crisp 'pops'... I covered my head and smirked.

Backward, no taxis, no buses, it’s really hard to go to work in the winter, I hope that the snow will fall soon, and the road will be blocked so that I can have a holiday.Take a cup of hot tea and wander around the agronomy.Everyone pays attention to tea drinking in this day and age, and my running around with teacups is an isolated phenomenon. After a long time, they also get used to it, and they all think that this drinking method is popular in the circle of dudes nowadays.Liu Rengui must be the first to arrive at the unit when there is no court affairs. I pushed the door of the proctor's office a little and peeked inside.

"Come in!" Liu Rengui's voice came from inside, and he knew it was me.Others will not be so rude.

"Hehe," he walked in holding a teacup, found a chair and sat down. "Morning supervisor."

"Oh, the young prisoner is leisurely." Liu Rengui put his pen on the shelf, tried his best to learn to be kind and smiled, "If you want to talk about the funding this time, it is all the credit of the young prisoner, and the bell that hits the inner mansion can have it." It works. It seems that I have to hurry up at the Ministry of Finance."

"Should be, ha ha." This question is very complicated. My wife-to-be urged me to host the agricultural school and serve the country. I agreed, but now she can't afford so much money.In another case, I would go to her to collect debts, pestering her over and over again. "It's winter, and the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. Come here and discuss with the supervisor. Should we change the schedule and let everyone rest for two days?"

"No." Liu Rengui shook his head and tapped on the desk, "Don't relax, you will have a clue in the process, and the spring will start when you speak, and the work is still to come."

"Hey..." Bai said, talking about holidays with a workaholic is like talking about evil swordsmanship with a sex fanatic. "Seeing that the new year is closing, every family has to go back and prepare. There are small households in the agricultural school. It's not like our family has handymen to do the work. We need to give some celebration, right?"

"Oh..." Liu Rengui bowed his head and pondered for a moment, "It's better to follow the rules of the Imperial College, there are always holidays at the end of the year, and it's not good for the agricultural school to make decisions privately." He said and handed me the paper on the desk. "Insufficient manpower. The young supervisor will see if there are any other talents that are needed. If you are more thorough, I will ask for someone in the Ministry of Industry."

"It's not that you will come if you ask for it. Agronomy has no foundation and no official position in the court. Although it is a royal place name, people with real ability have to think about it. After all, there are not many people who dare to gamble with their own future. Agronomy It’s not easy to force others to come here.” Now that the functions of various ministries are being perfected, it is necessary to fundamentally dispel the doubts of others. Although many people do not take official positions too seriously these days, at least let them get a good reputation , go out to be respected. "The delay is urgent. First, there must be a reputation to be effective. Whether it is academic or achievement, there must be something that can be sold."

"Cabbage?" Liu Rengui glanced at me, "Study is about step-by-step, and speed is not enough. The rapeseed hybrid mustard arranged by the young supervisor, hehe...it's really incredible."

"Theoretically, it works. Chang Xiaoshulang is concentrating on research, saying that although these two things are different in appearance, they have similarities in habits. The difference between a donkey and a horse may breed offspring." Gui is an expert. According to him, these two plants may be related by blood, and maybe a freak will appear in three to five years. "But it's not the immediate effect. It's about three to five years, seven or eight years."

"I think the imperial court has plans to drag Tubo to Tuyuhun in the northwest." Liu Rengui frowned, "Although the intention is good, the national power of Tubo can't be compared with my Tang Dynasty after all. If you delay him for a year, you will lose him for a year." The vitality of the land, but we are also struggling here. If Xingchuankou is not taken down, the food from Jiannan will not be transported to the army. If we go from the right side, the supply line will be lengthened, and the cost will increase greatly. After all, there will be no supplies for the Tubo people. Convenience, consumption is not worth the loss, and next year’s food might be tight.” Seeing me silent, he smiled, “Don’t be suspicious, young prisoner. Although I am a civil servant, I have experience in the army. When Wei Shang reads the military report, General Xue Rengui may not stop him."

"En, yes." Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui are old comrades-in-arms, they are familiar with each other, and there is no barrier between civil and military officials.After thinking about it along Liu Rengui's train of thought, it's not a big deal. Now Tubo can be dragged in Tuyuhun for a day. "Speaking of which, I'm reminded." The nameless grass seeds brought to me by the Tubo stinky brothers are still lying in the warehouse at home, and then they will tell about the magical effects of the wild grass and Liu Rengui, "This thing came from the plateau. Whether you can live after you survive, that is, whether you can maintain the original curative effect after living is still uncertain."

"That has to be tried, not for agronomy, but for the safety of the frontline soldiers." Liu Rengui stood up, and looked at the far from perfect crop distribution map hanging behind him, "Jiannan also has plateaus, and some of them can be reserved for special Send it over there for spring sowing, plant it at the same time as in agronomy, and compare its medicinal properties after harvesting."

"Okay." It's much better to let experts take care of this thing than to grow it by myself. "It's the end of the year, should I give you something? New Year's goods or something, it seems that our agronomy school is well paid?"

Liu Rengui thought for a while, "Is there someone in the court?" Suddenly he smiled and said, "Since you post it yourself, don't be too stingy. The young supervisor will make up his mind about this matter."

"Okay, let's do it now!" I am the most active in doing this, the government comprador, although I no longer rely on profit from it to get pocket money, I am still very excited.For year-end purchases, in order to avoid suspicion, I deliberately bypassed the Chen family. Now that there is no shortage of eggs, Lanling Zhuangzi will order [-] eggs first, all kinds of dry goods, high-quality refined grains, and pork on the twelfth lunar month. Legs, fat are a little more expensive, and they are made into big oil, one person, one earthen pot, plus [-] catties of charcoal, and that's all.
