The struggle of the reborn prince

Zhao Tun used to maintain a good image as a soldier, with neat clothes and shiny leather shoes, but today he was chased and beaten with crooked armor and no previous style.

"Captain, don't be impatient, you've made a foul," Xi Fu shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"You fouled first, so don't let me talk about it." Zhao Tang casually picked up Xue, grabbed a snowball and threw it over, smashing Xifu impartially all over his face.

"The captain has fouled, and he will be punished. Let's continue to fight." It was a stone that stirred up waves. The captain's atrocities aroused public outrage. The number of snowflakes is innumerable, even if he is the incarnation of "Avalokitesvara", he can't catch so many snowballs, let alone fight back, all he can do is escape

Now Zhao Tuan is turning eagles and dolphins for a while, using the terrain and trees to dodge left and right, which is also mixed with changing runs and changing lanes, dashing left and right in the crowd, fully displaying the individual tactics learned in his previous life.But the good tiger couldn't hold back the pack of wolves, the youngsters took advantage of the large number of people, divided up their troops and made several detours, outflanked, and intercepted the prince as a rabbit, surrounded him again and again, and was rushed out by him again, they didn't expect the prince to be so able to run, Tired them all out of breath.

Constantly running and breaking through the siege, Zhao Tun didn't remember how many times he was surrounded, and he rushed out a few times. His hat had long been lost, his hairpin didn't know where it fell, and his boots were half filled with snow water. , There was a 'click' sound when running, and the clothes were filthy and extremely embarrassing.

"Surround, don't let the captain run out again." Zhao Tang was still panting. People from Group A and Group B came from the left side, and Group C and Group D formed two groups from the right and surrounded them again. He took a look There were people on the front, back, left, and right, and he had no strength left, so he couldn't get out this time anyway, but he still made a final effort and slammed into the junction of the two teams like moths to a flame? ??

In the end, you don’t even need to think about it. The beleaguered prince was quickly overturned to the ground. The teenagers smashed the snowballs in their hands at Zhao Tun who was lying on the ground, and looked at them curled up like a turtle with their heads in their arms. His lord, he suddenly felt that his breathing became smoother, and the suffocation that had been suppressed in his stomach for many days finally came out.

"You...you are too much, how can you treat the prince like this, how has he treated you badly?" Just as the group of people were about to beat the dog in the water again, Xin Zhao suddenly separated from the crowd, threw himself on Zhao Tun and shouted at the crowd.

"Xin Zhao, get out of the way, we are playing a game with the captain." Li Lei stepped forward and grabbed Xin Zhao's arm and said.

"Nonsense, so many of you are chasing and beating him alone, is that just playing a game, obviously taking the opportunity to retaliate against the lord to teach you a lesson?" Xin Zhao shook off him, still standing there and said.

"He used to think about the law to punish us all day long, and beat us with a military stick if he made a slight mistake. Last time you just gave the wrong order and received two whips. Have you forgotten?" Xu Biao leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"I made a mistake, shouldn't I be punished? You must have been beaten by your parents because of this. Do you want to get it back?" Xin Zhao said unmoved.

"Xin Zhao, you are good to us, we don't want to be rough on you," Xu Biaohu threatened with a face.

"Go away, you bunch of heartless guys, count me as helping the wrong person in the past." Xin Zhao yelled while protecting the prince like an old hen, "Don't you look at who this person is, he is the current emperor and empress The second prince of the court, the prince of the first rank in the imperial court, if he cares about you, think about whether your heads are still there?"

'Suddenly' the teenagers all took a step back, their frenzied minds cleared up a lot. The one they were chasing and beating just now was the prince, and they themselves were just his servants. Although this is a game, no one can bear it if they pursue it.

"Don't even think about it. The things we train every day, the prince is worse than us. He has less practice. He is the youngest among us. He is only 12 years old this year, but he is the hardest among us. Don't you Are you blind?" Xin Zhao scolded everyone, "After blowing the whistle, you can go to bed, but what about the prince? He won't go to sleep until you are all asleep, and he has to get up twice in the middle of the night to check. Shop, check the sentry, cover you with quilts, add charcoal to the earth dragon, you may still be dreaming at that time, you complain about getting up early every day, but you don’t see that the prince is the first one among us.”

"He still beat us and didn't give us food," Xu Biao said a little unconvinced.

"You don't make mistakes, has the prince ever beaten you? Every time you are beaten, has the prince not sent you wound medicine..."

"Xin Zhao, didn't you give us that medicine?" Xu Biao asked in surprise, and the others also had question marks on their faces.

"You pig brains, the wound medicine is the secret wound medicine of the Ouchi Imperial Pharmacy, can I just take it out casually?" Xin Zhao glared at him and said, "That's what the prince asked me to give you. Go, the medicine is not easy to come by, he is usually reluctant to use it.”

"Ah?" Now everyone understands that when he was fined not to eat, Xin Zhao was able to secretly save food for himself. I can't realize it, and then think about how many years younger the prince is than me, but every day not only trains with me, but also has so many things to worry about, but I... the more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel. What I just did was too much.

"Oh, you guys don't fight anymore, then I'll get up." Just as a group of people were reflecting on their actions, Zhao Tang let go of the hands holding his head, and raised his head and said, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

"The little ones should be damned, you shouldn't be guilty of the crime below." Xu Biao suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, and the others also knelt down and apologized.

"Get up, I told you this is just a game, and I won't punish anyone for it, what are you doing?" Zhao Tong stood up with Zhao Xin's support and said 'fakely'.

"Thank you, my lord, I swear to follow my lord to the death and never do it again," Xu Biao kowtowed and said.

"Come on, get up, what does a big man look like on his knees?" Zhao Tang patted the snow on his body and lit them, "Hey, where is my hat? Has anyone seen my hat?" He looked around A circle shouted loudly.

"My lord, here is your hat." Everyone saw that the lord was not angry, and stood up embarrassingly, quickly retrieved his hat, and handed him the snow that was on it.

"Okay, our clothes are all soaked, go back and change quickly, don't catch a cold, I won't train this morning, I'm exhausted today, I won't play like this in the future" Zhao Tian put on his hat , said with a bitter face, the few people who took the lead in making a fuss just now all lowered their heads and smirked, feeling even more embarrassed.

Looking at this group of subordinates, Zhao Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and he passed another level.As a veteran, he knew deeply that if too much pressure was put on the recruits and they were not given an outlet to vent, then big things might happen.In the past, recruits in the army committed suicide, ran away, and even shot at the instructor during live ammunition, and even threw grenades into the company commander's office.The instructors in our army and the chaplains of the foreign army are all responsible for decompressing the soldiers and preventing accidents, but now there is nothing.

But Zhao Tun had another idea, he thought the best way to relieve stress was to tease the leader.The training of the special forces is even more rigorous, and they are always faced with the result of being eliminated. It is conceivable that the pressure is great. They sometimes put the instructors who check the sentry at night into sacks and throw them into the ditch; Steal it away and let him go out with bare buttocks in the morning; the most troublesome time was to secretly kill and eat the chickens raised by the political commissar, and it is common to do some small tricks during training.But the instructors seldom pursued their nonsense, but they thought that they could enjoy themselves for a long time with a "big bargain", and when he became an instructor, he would naturally understand the truth.

According to the training plan, Zhao Tuo began to arrange martial arts training for recruits, but this was his shortcoming. Two personal bodyguards by his side, Pan Long and Xue Bao, came in handy. Both of them were good at sumo. Pan Long's iron cloth shirt and Xue Bao's iron sand palm have already been practiced perfectly, which can be used as training content.The two of them have been with Zhao Tun in this yard for more than two months, and they have nothing to do all day except sometimes playing as thugs. This time they finally got a job, and the two of them were very happy and took up the post with great enthusiasm.This time the recruits started to talk about the good news of the prince, and their new coach was even more ruthless. If they beat them once, they would have to lie on the bed for several days.

……

After Laba, Huang Jingchen began to urge the prince to go back to the mansion to prepare for the New Year. He had to do some things himself, and he had to make arrangements for next year's things.Zhao Tuo dawdled until the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the day for offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove. As the master, he can no longer be absent. Zhao Tuo felt that the military uniform he designed was too eye-catching to wear. After returning home, the people who had been in Beifu for almost three months stepped out of the gate for the first time.

Although they are already low-key enough, the neat team, consistent pace, and indescribable temperament still make them attract the attention of passers-by as soon as they show up. It is impossible to cause traffic jams.This group of people listened to everyone's comments, saw the envious eyes of their peers, the blurred eyes of the girls' faces, and felt so beautiful in their hearts. They felt that their hardships these days were not in vain. , to inquire about their experiences during these days, but everyone just laughed and said nothing, and refused to say a word, which made people feel that they were extremely mysterious.

After returning to the mansion, Zhao Tang threw them to Zhao Ren and several team leaders to manage them. He plunged into the meeting hall again, listened to the work reports of various workshops, workshops, and caravan shopkeepers, arranged for people to check the accounts, and released bonuses. Thinking about what gifts to give to the parents in the palace, he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he felt more tired than training those recruits every day

After working for three days in a row, these things finally came to an end, and Zhao Tun was able to sleep peacefully, sit down and rest, "Jianxi, nothing major has happened in Beijing these days?" Zhao Tun was lazily leaning on the couch asked.

"There are a few major events. The emperor won the treasure of the Xia Dynasty - Yuan Gui from Yu Shun. He held a ceremony of accepting Gui in the Daqing Hall, amnesty the world, and set up Zhike Province, Introduction, Sifang Pavilion, and East and West Pavilions. Cai Jing Entered into the Duke of Lu, made He Zhizhong the young Fu, Dazai and servant, and all the rulers were promoted to rank. In December, the law of horse herding was given to the land. Zheng Juzhong was the special advancement, and Tong Guan, the Wuxin Army Jiedu envoy, was the Taiwei. The appointed woman is called the ninth class, and there is news from the palace that the prince, the eldest prince and the third prince have been enshrined in the Taibao, and the auspicious day will be selected for the first month, so I will congratulate the second master first." Jian Xi said with a smile.

"Hey, what kind of happy event is this, I can't give you a little more money" Zhao Tang said with a cold snort, a group of guys who have harmed the country and the people have all been promoted to help his father search for people's wealth, "What kind of horse herding method you mentioned just now?" What means?"

"Second Master, it's the land-based horse herding law. There is not enough horses in the country. We need to re-implement the new law of raising horses by the people," Jianxi said.

"Tell me in detail"

"This??? This small one can't be explained clearly. It's clear in the mansion newspaper. I'll take it for you." Jianxi didn't expect the prince to be interested in this, so he was unprepared.

Zhao Tong thought about it, the problem of horses has plagued the Song Dynasty for decades. Since the loss of Yanyun Sixteen States, there has basically been no place to graze horses. It was unsuccessful, occupying a lot of land and investing a lot, but the income was very little, and the quality of the horses was not good, so it was a loss-making business.So someone proposed to abolish the horse-grazing supervision and raise horses for the people. They calculated an account. The cost of farmers raising horses is about 25 guan for each horse, and the horse-grazing supervision costs [-] guan for each horse. [-] strings are required to purchase.

The huge cost contrast gave birth to Wang Anshi's horse protection method. As for the quality of the horses raised by the private farmers, whether they can guarantee the cavalry of the empire to gallop on the battlefield is not the most important thing at this time, because the quality of the horses produced by the horse supervisor is also low. , and the survival rate of horses raised by farmers is definitely far better than that of state-owned horses (the life of horses is the life of farmers, and it is natural to be careful).And the money saved by folk breeding is enough for the empire to buy horses from the ethnic minorities in the northwest.In addition, the state leased all the fertile land originally occupied by the state-owned horse herding supervisor to farmers. These vast fertile land became a new economic income for the empire and a new money printing machine.But after Shenzong's death, the old and new parties have been fighting for decades, state-owned for a while, private for a while, and endless tossing. The final result of this repetition is that both state-owned and private horse breeding are unreliable.Now when the emperor checked the accounts, he was given a piece of data on the horses of the herdsmen and supervisors in various places, and it turned out to be a pitiful [-] horses, of which the Hebei West Road accounted for [-] horses, and the number of other roads was very small. And the dignified East Road has only nine horses.
