I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 25 The Winter is Coming
Xianyang is cool in autumn, while Shangjun is covered with silver.

On the vast land, there is a long black dragon lying on the silver land, and countless white barracks are rooted under the dragon's body.

The faint smoke rising from the sky announced that there were still traces of people in this world.

"Dingtou, I don't know when I can go home this year, I miss my wife and baby."

"That is to say, Dingtou, can I bother you to ask the officer when the money will be distributed this year."

In front of the tent, a group of hard laborers conscripted by conscripts to build the Great Wall in Shangjun sat cross-legged in front of a boiling cauldron, holding bowls and asking questions in a hurry.

Because this is Lao Ding's second visit to repair the Great Wall, fortunately he was named by the chiefs and became the leader of the No. 50 brothers. He usually takes care of these brothers under him, so he is called Dingtou.

When Lao Ding committed a crime, he came to Shangjun for the first time. Like most people, he thought that he would die at the foot of the Great Wall.

But what Lao Ding didn't expect was that although the building of the Great Wall was not considered a beautiful job, at least it was provided with food and lodging every day. Two baht money), if you have not committed a crime, it is called hard labor, and you can get [-] copper coins a month.

After a year-round settlement, it is equivalent to eight stones of grain, which can be said to be one person who endures hardships and the whole family will not be hungry in the coming year. This is also the reason why Lao Ding took the initiative to serve for the second time.

Looking at this group of young coolies who arrived this year, he was filled with emotion, and said, "Brothers, don't quarrel, this meal is provided by the empire, and I know some brothers. It is also to protect the wives, children, and mothers behind us, and now that winter has just entered, presumably the year will pass, and the empire's replacement army will come, and we will be able to go back by then."

A young and thin young man replied with a dry smile: "Who said no, I thought that if I committed a crime, I would die if I was caught in this stupid place."

Lao Ding patted the thin young man in relief and said, "You haven't married a wife yet, but the porridge is a bit thin, so I'll let you drink another bowl."

"Hey, Dingtou, your girl is fourteen this year."

Once Lao Ding's expression changed, he raised his leg and swept his foot on the young man's buttocks, yelling repeatedly: "Get rolling."

Some people couldn't bear to listen and sneered: "Shouhou, you don't even take pictures of soaking in the urine, you dare to miss Dingtou's family."

As soon as the words came out, the laborers in the first battalion burst into laughter.

Such a labor group of 50 people per battalion spread all over the entire Shangjun County, sweating without anyone knowing, resisting the Huns outside the city wall in the heavy snow.

Meng Tian stood on the city wall watching all this happening, a strange flash of light flashed in his eyes, he turned his head and said: "My younger brother Yi wrote, saying that your Majesty met a strange person during his eastward tour to Changsha County, who saved His Majesty from erysipelas, and later His Majesty worshiped him as a national soldier , this strange man said to His Majesty to practice Confucianism and Mohism to improve people's livelihood, and His Majesty really agreed, and then mentioned the matter of establishing a reserve..."

Hearing the words, the young man in white fur beside him had a calm expression, and said plainly: "The Meng family has been loyal and good for generations as the army soul of the empire, and now General Meng is guarding the northern border, making the Huns deter the Huns. His right-hand man and right-hand man have always been with the emperor, and Meng Qing's letter is naturally true."

Meng Tian looked at Baiqiu youth with very different eyes and said, "My lord, don't you want to know your Majesty's attitude towards Li Chu?"

"Fusu is the eldest son of the father and emperor, and now we can see that the people of the empire live and work in peace and contentment, and the thoughts of a hundred schools of thought have returned to the people, which is enough.

As for who the royal father wants to be the crown prince, the royal father has his own decision, and Fusu can't interfere, nor can he interfere. "

Looking at the young man in front of him, Meng Tian felt a little lost in his heart, maybe it was because of his lack of vigor, but more of it was his admiration for the young master Fusu, he cupped his hands and said, "Meng Tian believes that the young master's heart is bound to be able to make people happy." The day His Majesty appreciates."

Fusu smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said: "Fusu is very lucky to be appreciated by the general." After finishing speaking, he pulled the fur on his body and said, "It's too cold, let's go back to the tent." Meng Tian nodded lightly and followed.

A black figure came galloping from the sky, and stopped outside the handsome tent surrounded by the wooden fence, making a snorting sound, and the horse's hooves trampled a series of black marks on the snow.

"You go down, remember to go back to the camp and have some hot soup."

The kneeling scout was a little moved when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you, General."

Meng Tian loves soldiers like sons, Fusu sees them often, seeing the scouts leaving, he opened his mouth and said: "Fusu has been in Shangjun for half a year, seeing the general love soldiers like sons every now and then, always feels happy."

Meng Tian laughed and said: "Soldiers are like brothers and feet, they are sharp weapons, and they are driven like arms."

Fu Su gently cupped his hands and said, "Fu Su has been taught."

Only then did Meng Tian take out the brocade box sent by the scouts urgently, opened the brocade box, Meng Tian couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and said suspiciously: "Could it be a new contact method?"

Fusu heard Mengtian's cry in shock, stood up and looked at the brocade box, also frowning in surprise, and said: "The black dragon scroll is not for military use, let alone a lacquer scroll, I don't know what the emperor's intention is."

The palm-sized booklet was sealed with sealing wax, lying quietly in the brocade box, Meng Tian looked at Fusu with some surprise, and said: "According to what the scouts said, it was delivered urgently by Meng Yi himself."

Fusu took apart the wax paint, Meng Tian turned around gently and walked to the door of the barracks, watching the snow flying outside the tent with deep eyes and calmed down.

"Jie Xue Town is in troubled times, Yourou breaks mountains and rivers. I punish my son to supervise the Great Wall Army to build the Great Wall. If you know your mistakes, you can also leave for Beijing today.

Winter is approaching, and the wolves in the Northern Plains can't hide, so Mengqing needs to be on guard. Next year's autumn harvest will be the time to go north. "

Fusu's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help shaking the hand holding the booklet, and his handsome and soft face immediately flushed.

"Fusu may not be able to have a long talk with you in the future, General."

Meng Tian's expression was stern, and there was a rare strangeness on his resolute face.

"Your Majesty has recalled you, congratulations."

Fu Su took a look at Meng Tian, ​​walked up to him and looked at the vast white snow outside the barracks, and said in a low voice meaningfully: "Father's book also let the general cultivate well, next year's autumn harvest, it's time for the imperial cavalry to attack."

Meng Tian's pupils shrank, and he knelt on one knee and said, "Master! Follow orders!"

Fusu breathed out a breath of cold air, and sighed: "This is the first time I have seen Fusu Xue from Beiyuan. I really don't know how the Huns outside the Great Wall survived the extreme cold."

Hearing that Fusu's words carried the unique indecision of Confucianism, Meng Tian got along with him for half a year, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

Fusu is the eldest son of His Majesty, his personality is too plain and soft, lacking the vigor that His Majesty the First Emperor should have.

Although the Great Wall in front of him stretches for thousands of miles, the guerrilla-based Huns have harassed the border area for hundreds of years, and even once broke through the Great Wall to block and plunder southward. Meng Tian's deep hatred for the Huns has reached his bones.

Reluctantly sneered: "Jiuyuan County has fertile land and convenient water resources, but the Huns are only nomadic."

Speaking of this, Meng Tian paused for a moment, and said again: "I think His Majesty came here urgently, there must be some important matter that needs to be seen by the young master."

Fusu's eyes flashed, and his heart was somewhat melancholy, "Follow the general's arrangement."

……

Seeing the carriage galloping away, Meng Tian's expression turned serious, but he still kept a word in his heart without saying a word.

"Such a group of uncivilized pickpockets should be killed to avoid future troubles."

　"Qin Law Sikong" records: If you are guilty, you can redeem it with money and you are responsible (debt) to the public. Eaters, living six money a day (money = money).

　　Serving for the government is paid.
