The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 580: Drinking Victory [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

“When I see Gai Nie in the future, I should teach him the Imperial Banner. The title of Sword Saint does not suit him!” Yan Yan thought to himself, but still encouraged the sharp warrior, “I saw today’s battle. You were very brave and the most courageous of the three armies. I will leave you a stream of righteousness to ensure that you will not have to suffer from the hidden diseases brought by the sharp warrior’s secret technique in the future.”

"Really?" The warrior was ecstatic.

In fact, before they became Ruishi and practiced the Ruishi secret technique, they had already been informed of the hidden dangers of the Ruishi Sword.

But if they don't practice, they can only be ordinary soldiers in their lives and can never cross the class and become nobles.

As a soldier, who doesn’t have some injuries?

Instead of dying on the battlefield, why not learn some powerful skills to save your life?

Although becoming a sharp soldier may lead to death faster, when the surviving sharp soldiers return to their own villages and towns, even the head of the village and the head of the pavilion will have to salute them when they see them.

The head of a village or the head of a pavilion may not necessarily have a title, but as sharp warriors, they must have a title.

Now that Yan Yan has left a trace of righteousness on him, it is equivalent to helping him eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by the Rui Shi secret technique. How can he not be ecstatic?
Even if I can't help him eliminate the hidden danger, that is the true energy left in his body by Bingjun. Is this honor something that ordinary people can get?

Even if the Iron Eagle Commander of their Sharp Warriors Camp went to ask for it, Bing Jun might not be willing to leave him any true energy!

What's more, Bing Jun said that he watched today's battle and noticed himself, and he was the bravest person in the whole army!
This is recognition from the king.

If this gets out, who will dare to embarrass him in the future?

Didn't he notice that his colleagues and superiors were looking at him with a gentle attitude?

He won't have to carry out those extremely risky missions in the future.

After all, it would be fine if you didn't use the person that Bing Jun praised as an example, but if you did it the next day, wouldn't that be a slap in Bing Jun's face?

"I gave you this righteous energy, but it doesn't mean you can use the secret technique of the sharp warrior without any scruples. Those who are good at water will drown. How do you know that there are no more ruthless people than you on the battlefield!"

Yan Yan still reminded.

If this guy thinks there are no hidden dangers and rushes into every battle without any scruples, he will still have to die.

Rui Shi lowered his head in shame, he really thought so.

Military merit, if you can use the sharp sword to kill without any scruples, wouldn’t that mean unlimited military merit?
But what Bingjun said makes sense. If my comrades cannot keep up with me and cannot provide me with timely protection in the no-man's land, then I will still have to die.

There are quite a few warriors who died in battle today.

You have to know that as sharp warriors, they all left a suicide note before joining. As for when it would be sent out, that depended on when they died.

No one wants to have his suicide note sent back home by the Inspector one day.

"Let's go out and have a drink!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

At this time, fruits, vegetables, wine and meat as rewards from the central army tent were delivered in carts.

As for other spoils of war, they will be awarded uniformly after the war is completely over.

The central army has no time to take inventory now.

Therefore, everyone in the entire Ruishi Camp, except for the Ruishi who patrolled the camp normally, was rewarded with a pot of wine. As for fruits, vegetables and meat, there was no limit on the quantity.

"We still have to thank Bing Jun!" The captain of the Rui Shi Battalion came forward to toast, or rather, almost all the people who could sit next to Yan Yan were the commanders of the Rui Shi Battalion.

Yan Yan was a little surprised. He had been watching the excitement all day without doing anything, so he would not take the credit for it.

"I didn't contribute to your victory!" Yan Yan shook his head and said. "I'm not talking about today's battle, but the meat!" The captain smiled and pointed at the roasted cattle and sheep on the campfire.

"In the past, even if we won a great victory, all we could eat was some pig meat. Unless we were a doctor, we were not allowed to eat mutton, let alone beef!" said the captain.

Yan Yan nodded. The class system is everywhere.

There were clear regulations on the number of dishes and the number of pots used in the diet of the literati, as well as on what kind of meat they could eat.

Cattle are an important productive force in farming. It is difficult to eat beef, even for a nobleman.

Even if the murder is justifiable, the death penalty is still not enough.

Kill the cow, no matter what your reason is, it must die!

Of course, it is allowed for cows that die accidentally, but that is the cow’s own death, so it cannot be considered as slaughtering the cow.

"Oh?" Yan Yan was a little curious, how could this be related to him.

"Because Bingjun occupied the grassland, we can get a lot of cattle and sheep, and the court has also relaxed the restrictions on cattle and sheep. Now, if you have a title and money, you can buy some mutton to cook." The captain said with emotion.

He had experienced it before and knew how severe the restrictions on beef and mutton were.

However, after the grassland was occupied by Bingzhou, millions of cattle and sheep produced in Bingzhou were imported into the Central Plains every year. As the vassal state with the largest trade volume with Bingzhou, the Qin State received even larger numbers of cattle and sheep.

Therefore, the Qin State no longer restricted the cooking of mutton. As long as you had money and status, you could buy it and eat it.

Even some common people can buy it and eat it during festivals, and the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.

After all, this is not a rare thing anymore.

Of course, cows are still not enough, as there is a shortage of cows as a means of production everywhere.

But it's not necessary to die directly from killing cows.

Some aristocratic families secretly slaughtered cattle for food, and the government turned a blind eye as long as the animals were not taken by force.

The root of everything is that the grassland most suitable for producing cattle and sheep is now theirs, so they have a large number of cattle and sheep and are no longer in financial difficulty.

"In that case, I'll drink this cup!" Yan Yan smiled and drank the whole cup.

"In addition to cattle and sheep, refined salt is something we could only long for!" The captain was obviously very good at persuading people to drink. After talking about meat, he started talking about salt.

Yan Yan smiled. He tried to trick Hou Sheng, but Hou Sheng failed to seize the opportunity. However, everyone in the world knew that the salt field map was given by Yan Yan.

Therefore, in their view, Bingjun was the king and Housheng was the minister. Even if Housheng was named the King of Salt Caijun, he was just helping Bingjun. The real credit still went to Bingjun. It was just that what they considered a big deal was just a small matter in Bingjun's eyes.

"Okay, drink!" Yan Yan drank again.

"I want to say something too! If it weren't for Bing Jun, and the cashmere jackets provided by Bingzhou, I'm afraid many of our parents would have a hard time getting through the winter. But because of Bing Jun, with the cashmere jackets and quilts, our whole family can safely get through the harsh winter."

Others were talking at once.

Yan Yan was not afraid of anyone who came, and he drank too much without realizing it.

Bingzhou has done a lot in the past three years. Juyan Lake and Ruoshui are not only suitable for growing peach trees, but are also most suitable for growing cotton!

Cotton was discovered in the Western Regions, but it was only grown as an ornamental flower. After Yan Yan discovered it, he planted it on a large scale, then picked the cotton and made various cotton fabrics, which were transported to the Central Plains to obtain a large amount of supplies.
