Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1105 Famine and Natural Disaster 265

After they finished their introductions one by one, Mingyi summarized the candidates for three groups; there were eight people in three groups, two in the massage group, two in the beauty group, two in the steaming group, and the remaining two were doing errands. work, and the careful work of equipping things.

"Let's divide it like this for the time being. The study of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture points can only be learned after the prince finds someone here. What should you do on weekdays? As for beauty, you can come to the palace to study for an hour every day, prince. , can you let them in and out of the palace?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Ting chuckled, "Okay, no."

"Master?"

Buwei, who was waiting on one side, was suddenly called out and was alerted.

"The two people over there will enter the palace from tomorrow and tell the guards guarding the door." After Zhou Ting explained, he didn't plan to ask any more questions.

Buwei nodded respectfully and said, "Well, I will arrange it."

"Yes." Zhou Ting nodded lightly, looking sideways at Mingyi for silent appreciation.

Mingyi smiled gratefully at him without any substantive expression. Zhou Ting's smile froze when he saw it, and she turned to look at her arrangements without saying much.

After things are arranged, the rest of the matter will be left to shopkeeper Xi to arrange.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." Mingyi looked at Zhou Ting with a smile.

Zhou Ting nodded slightly and led her out of the shop. After getting on the carriage, Mingyi didn't want to wander around and went back to the palace first.

As soon as they left, Shopkeeper Xi immediately closed the shop, and the entire backyard returned to calm. The two girls who were named anxiously went to Shopkeeper Xi to ask.

"Madam, do we really need to go to the palace to find our master?"

Shopkeeper Xi said: "From now on, call me Shopkeeper Xi, and don't call me Madam anymore; I'm not a Madam anymore, I'm just the shopkeeper in the shop, remember?"

"Yes, the slaves remember."

The two said in unison.

"Well, tomorrow you can go to the palace to study with peace of mind. Don't talk to strangers. Girls should pay special attention to their own safety when traveling. Don't look around when you arrive at the palace. When you go to the palace, there must be someone to guide you. Follow the person who leads the way. . In addition, don’t talk nonsense, speak less and listen more, and don’t inquire about things you shouldn’t. How good the palace is has nothing to do with you, do you understand?”

"Slaves, please remember, thank you, Shopkeeper Xi, for giving us the heads up."

The two of them felt at ease, thanked them and left.

Shopkeeper Xi smiled, nothing happened, and turned to look for his daughter.

On the carriage.

Zhou Ting asked Mingyi, "Yiyi has superb medical skills and there are few old doctors who can also do acupuncture. I may have to wait a few more days. Does Yiyi know acupuncture as well?"

"I know a thing or two." She had learned it professionally, and if it wasn't difficult to expose herself and she was studying next to Master Fan Tai, she would have done it on her own.

"You have a wide range of knowledge." He has never read a medical book, and he doesn't know much about beauty. He knows two sets of massage techniques; one was learned from the medical girl who was with his mother and concubine when he was a child, and the other is for coping with the disease. In emergencies in the military, all are practical techniques to soothe the meridians.

Mingyi chuckled, "I don't understand what you know, and you don't understand some of the things I know. This is normal; our lives are still long, and anyone who has never learned anything can try it. As long as you want to learn, you can learn it. "

"You're right." Zhou Ting had a smile on his face.

"You haven't been to the military camp recently?"

"Those who have gone, but few have gone; from the year before to now, the army has been intensifying training to deal with the foreigners who may come at any time. Strangely enough, during the Chinese New Year this year, the foreigners did not launch an attack, burning and looting the surrounding people."

Mingyi still didn't know enough about this dynasty. After being here for so long, he only learned from Zhou Ting that foreign tribes invaded every year, especially before and after the year, and during the autumn harvest, and robbed the people's food from time to time. , border conflicts often occur.

Foreigners live on the grasslands or outside the desert, and the land is not suitable for growing crops; they are mostly nomadic people, and the living conditions outside the desert are even more difficult.

They want the people in the country to be fed and clothed, and the quickest way is to rob the people on the border.

The soldiers guarding the border must launch attacks in order to protect the people and food, and also to frighten the foreigners. Over and over again, the foreigners and the soldiers on the border seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding also further expanded the war.

There is a time limit for the entry of foreigners, and the time they choose is easy to guess; after years of dealing with it, the soldiers on the frontier have already become familiar with their habits.

As long as they come, 90% of them will encounter soldiers patrolling.

You come and I go, and the war goes on in cycles.

"It is a good thing that there is no war. The people are at peace and the soldiers do not have to go to war." There will be casualties in war. In ancient times, it relied on manpower to fight with cold weapons.

"What you said makes sense, but they enter the country every year, but they didn't come this year. It's really weird." What Zhou Ting was worried about was not that they would suddenly start a war, but that they would unite with other countries' armies to suppress the border.

The total number of the northwest army is only 200,000, and 50,000 were mobilized to Pingyang Pass. The remaining 150,000 could not stop many countries from going to war at the same time.

Mingyi nodded, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster."

"Exactly." Zhou Ting felt a little anxious. "What we are afraid of now is that among the foreign nations, the three countries closest to the northwest border will go to war at the same time. The nomads are good at cavalry; our soldiers do not have cavalry. We cannot compare with others in this regard. The three countries unite If it does, we will have a hard time playing.”

"I've seen you riding horses, why don't you have a saddle?"

"Saddles? There are some." Zhou Ting was puzzled. Their horses all had saddles. "Yiyi, all the horses in the mansion have saddles."

Mingyi recalled how the palace guards looked when they were riding horses. It was not a saddle at all, it could only be described as a thick blanket spread on the horse's back.

"It's not that kind of saddle, but a tool to fix the body shape and facilitate better riding. If the saddle I mentioned is equipped with it, the soldiers will be much more stable on the horse, plus stirrups, water reins, bits, and reins , halters, horseshoes, people can be as stable as a mountain on the horse, and can also be flexibly shifted. If they are matched well with the horse, they can also show off their skills on horseback.

She found that she couldn't say any more about the rest. The more she said, the more she said, and she had nowhere to go!

Zhou Ting did not think about how she knew this at all, "Yiyi, I have never seen these things you mentioned. I don't know what they are. Can you draw them? I'll find someone to do it."

If Mingyi really said that, they could equip a cavalry battalion.

They were short-changed because they didn't have a cavalry battalion and didn't have many horses. When the war broke out, good horses played a huge role, which ordinary horses couldn't compare to.

"Okay, I just happened to have read similar books before when I was practicing martial arts. I was also thinking about when I could draw them and learn about them." Quickly making an excuse, Mingyi quietly observed his expression.

Zhou Ting was full of expectations and didn't think much about it, "Then let's hurry up."

Second update in place~~Good night
