"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost, the heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River, who can resist in twenty years, the hatred is crazy, the long sword is directed, how many loyal souls of brothers and feet are buried
In my hometown, why would I regret dying a hundred times to repay my family and country? I can’t bear to sigh and feel even more speechless. My eyes are full of blood and tears. Horses’ hooves are heading south. People look north. People look north. The grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. I am willing to defend the land and reopen the borders. Let’s build a dignified China.
I want everyone from all over the world to congratulate me..."
In the study room.
Qin Huaidao sang a cappella, sonorous and powerful, with twinkling eyes, as if he had gone back to the turbulent years in the past, when he defended his home and country with his comrades, and shed blood on the battlefield. He seemed to see his comrades fall down one by one, and his heart ached, and he sang to the depths of his love.
, a line of hot tears rolled down.
The women seemed to have seen a tragic battlefield, and saw unyielding warriors holding their swords and guns high, charging forward heroically, looking at death as if they were home, and their blood spilled on the earth.
It turns out that the song can still be sung like this!
Actually, there is such a song in this world?
Compared with the soft words of love and careless moans that were sung in the past, this is the real song, which is uplifting, exciting to the soul, tear-jerking and at the same time inspiring.
Although the lyrics are different from those sung in the past, they are not even confrontational, concise, and lack poetic flavor. They are too simple in the Tang Dynasty when poetry was popular, but they are easy to understand, and this is enough.
If the tunes sung in the past were for the talented and beautiful, and were elegant, this tune was sung for the common people. It is easy to understand, but it can be sung all over the world and passed down to future generations. If you learn it, won't you also leave your name in history?
Everyone was shocked when they saw the value of this song. They didn't expect that Qin Huaidao could not only sing it, but also sing it in a completely different way. This was a new genre. Dong'er couldn't help but said: "Guo Guogong, this song
This song is unheard of. It must have been created by the Protector. It is so well sung. It expresses the heroism and ambition of the soldiers and the pursuit and responsibility of the men of the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it and will insult your music and intentions.
"
Another woman also said: "Duke Guoguo, I may not be able to express this music well with the instruments I have. It lacks the momentum of a warrior and an iron horse."
Qin Huaidao looked at the instruments in everyone's hands. There were pipa, erhu, xiao, flute, zither, harp, xun and sheng. They were all good at women. Their voices were not high-pitched enough, so they were suitable for playing love songs. This kind of passionate and high-pitched music.
The song is almost uninteresting and requires the use of drum instruments.
Thinking of drums, Qin Huaidao couldn't help but think of the drum set. That thing was Qin Huaidao's favorite. During his school days, he played in a music club and played the drum set. It's not difficult to make it. Of course, the sound effect is definitely not as good as that of later generations, but he can still make it.
Use it flexibly and make the guitar more perfect.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao said: "These instruments you have can be used as supplements. The main vocal needs to be a big drum. Buy some later. I will teach you how to play. You learn this song first. Whoever has the right voice will sing the lead and the others will sing the harmony."
"
"What is harmony?" Someone couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Singing accompaniment, you will know later, continue." Qin Huaidao waved his hands and taught everyone to sing step by step.
They are all people who have been practicing music and singing since they were young. After singing for more than ten years, they all have profound skills and learned it quickly. Qin Huaidao learned so quickly and became interested, so he taught everyone a song "Man"
"Strengthen Yourself", equally passionate and heroic, equally passionate.
After everyone learned the lesson and signaled to leave, it was already getting late.
Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao had something to eat and then went to the shop in the west courtyard to start playing. The drum set had 3-7 drums and 2-4 cymbals, including bass drum, hi-hat, snare drum, and tom drum.
, suspension cymbals, etc., the conditions are not enough, drums can only be made of wood and cowhide, and cymbals can be replaced by iron refined into steel sheets. The sound quality is definitely not as good as professional grade, but I don't have a big problem.
There are blacksmiths and carpenters in the house, and several people work together to make the prototype in one day. The next step is to polish it, especially the cymbals, which must be precise and cannot be rushed.
The next day, Qin Huai Taoist taught everyone how to polish and fiddle with the guitar themselves. The guitar was made of wooden boards. The most difficult thing was the strings. This thing must be made of steel wire. Drawing is a technical job. There is also a kind of gut string, which is made of sheep.
The mucous membrane inside the intestine is drawn into very fine fibers, which are then chemically treated, washed, glued and other processes. Gut strings have the best sound, but are also troublesome to make.
Fortunately, the manpower in the house was sufficient, so Qin Huaidao decided to try both, whichever one could be used.
At noon, Yuchi Baolin came in a hurry and saw Qin Huaidao doing something. He was all dirty and looked like a state official. He couldn't understand what he was doing and didn't care. He said anxiously: "Brother Qin, there are many people from the country.
The government sent people to bring a lot of money, and it's all at the Ministry of Communications office. What's going on?"
Yuchi Baolin didn't know about borrowing the money yet, so Qin Huaidao didn't explain much, and warned: "Count the numbers, write a receipt, and I will deal with it later. The Lord promised to allocate 700 Yulin Guards to be transferred to the Patrol Division. Are they here?"
"
"Here we are, Luo Zhang is leading a guard. We can't trust him with so much money."
"Ask Luo Zhang to mobilize three hundred people to guard the safety of the Ministry of Communications, and let him personally keep an eye on the money. This is for road construction, so don't be careless." Qin Huaidao warned.
"It turned out to be used for road construction. By the way, the Holy Father issued a decree to promote the internship system. It said that in the future, noble children and Imperial College students who want to be officials or take scientific examinations must first practice and pass the exam. The prince will come to transport them.
The department asked how many people are needed for internship? What kind of regulations is this?" Yuchi Baolin asked curiously.
Qin Huaidao laughed when he heard this, and Li Er moved very quickly and explained: "You are familiar with the distinguished disciples. If you are willing to come, accept those who are willing to endure hardship. Then go to the Imperial College to select a group of people with excellent math scores to help you.
Doula went to build roads to gain experience, help with calculations, calculations, and helpers. If you have the right people to keep an eye on, you will be transferred to the Ministry of Transportation in the future, do you understand?"
"I understand." Yuchi Baolin said it clearly. He immediately thought of a lot. He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "I know a lot of distinguished people, but they inevitably have dandy habits."
"Don't be afraid, we have the right to judge. If you give a bad review, your career will be ruined. If you still dare to jump, don't blame us for being unkind. You should make it clear in advance. In addition, try not to have an eldest son."
Yuchi Baolin understood as soon as he heard it. The eldest son has the right to inherit. In the future, he will inherit the family property and title of his elders. He is not afraid of bad reviews. In addition, he has a family mission. If he really gives bad reviews, he will offend others, the second oldest, the third oldest, etc.
The eldest son is different. He has no inheritance rights, so he will work harder when he sees hope of advancement.
"It will be done within three days and set off in three days. In addition, we will purchase 10,000 pairs of bamboo baskets, 10,000 pieces of large hammers for mining stones, large chisels and small hammers for breaking stones, hoes and other items.
There are 5,000 tools each for road construction, and you also need to inform your father that 20,000 surrender troops will accompany you in three days. After completing the relevant procedures, you will need tents for 20,000 people and five days of rations, which will be dragged by horse-drawn carriages." Qin Huaidao said.
warned.
"Remember, let's do it now." Yuchi Baolin left in a hurry.
After sending Yuchi Baolin away, Qin Huaidao continued busy with his own affairs.
In the afternoon, an unexpected person came to visit. He was riding in a carriage and walked through the side door. He looked like he didn't want to be discovered. Qin Huaidao didn't expect King Wei to come back, but he still received him in the study.
As soon as he sat down, King Wei said bluntly: "Master Qin, I have taken the liberty to come to visit and invite Haihan. After thinking about something for a few days, I decided to come and tell you in person."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Qin Huaidao asked calmly.
"You may not be convinced if I say I didn't know about the servant who smashed your shop. I won't explain it. I admit it and am willing to pay another 10,000 gold. I hope to gain understanding."
Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at King Wei and said with a smile: "The King of Wei is joking. You have already made compensation for this matter, and the past has been settled."
"No, no, no... After all, this matter has affected the Duke Protector's Palace. It is because of my lax control, so I should compensate. With these ten thousand gold, I hope to make Lord Qin my friend. I don't know if I have the
Such an honor."
Qin Huaidao was confused, where was the fuss coming from?
After thinking about it, Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "It is an honor for me to be friends with the King of Wei because of his promotion, but the court has rules and you cannot make friends with the prince, otherwise you will know the consequences."
"That's right, I am presumptuous." King Wei was not angry, and continued with a smile: "It doesn't matter if we can't be friends. I have to ask Mr. Qin to accept this ten thousand gold. By the way, next month I will
We are about to go to the fiefdom, and it will be difficult to come to Chang'an at that time. Lord Qin will pass by my fiefdom when he has time, and he must let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
"Go to the fiefdom?" Qin Huaidao was startled, and suddenly realized that his words had an effect. Li Er made a decision. This Li Tai still didn't give up, and wanted to use 10,000 gold to form a good relationship with the intention of the future.
Wei King Li Taizheng observed Qin Huaidao calmly. When he saw Qin Huaidao stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know anything about it beforehand, he was suddenly surprised. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? If it weren't for the man in front of him, why would his father suddenly change so much?
They both had their own thoughts and remained silent.
Qin Huaidao reacted quickly and said with a smile: "I will come to visit you if I have the opportunity, but I cannot accept the money. If the Holy One finds out, I cannot bear the consequences."
"It's my honor to have Mr. Qin come to visit me. Since Mr. Qin insists, forget about the money and I won't bother you if I have something else to do." King Wei said as he stood up and suddenly stopped when he walked to the door, pretending to remember.
General added: "By the way, I almost forgot something. The servant who smashed up your shop was actually the prince's spy in the palace. I only discovered it after two days of tracing. However, after all, he was a servant of the palace.
I admit this mistake."
Seeing King Wei leave, Qin Huaidao's eyes turned cold - these last words are the key point, right?
He obviously had doubts about what he said in front of the Holy Lord, causing the other party to go to the fiefdom, but he came to the door as if nothing was wrong. When he came up, he admitted his mistake first, put on the posture of making friends, worried that it was not enough, and paid out 10,000 gold to show his sincerity, all for the sake of what happened next.
This sentence foreshadows the fact that he is indeed the King of Wei, he is very calculating!
Maybe even his rejection of 10,000 gold was accurate. Such a deep city and such a deep calculation.
If used in a righteous way, it might be possible to compete with the crown prince and ascend to the throne. Unfortunately, he secretly made friends with the Qiwang and the powerful clan of the five surnames, which caused Li Er's political inconvenience.
However, once King Wei left, history would change beyond recognition. Will the prince still rebel?
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao became inexplicably worried, his eyes cold.
After a while, there was a knock on the door from outside, and He'er's sweet voice asking: "Young master, it's time for dinner. Should you send this person here, or go to the restaurant."
"Send it over." Qin Huaidao responded and continued to ponder. It seemed that he had to increase his efforts to cultivate his power just in case. The prince could do anything if he went crazy.
Not long after, He'er and several maids brought the food and put it on the table.
Qin Huaidao signaled the maids to leave first, and told He'er: "There is a tea mountain in Jingyang County. The Holy Emperor wants to reward me. The imperial edict will be issued in the next two days. When the imperial edict arrives, you ask Uncle Jia to select two trustworthy people from the house."
We need people to manage it, recruit some people on the spot to clean up the weeds, and set up the tea house, and then there will be tea."
"Remember." He'er quickly agreed.
"Why are your hands so black?" Qin Huaidao asked curiously.
He'er spread his hands and looked at it. It was indeed a bit dark. He smiled awkwardly and said: "I was starching wool with my sisters in the workshop just now. There were too many dirty things and blood stains. It was difficult to clean them. Maybe they were left behind."
"What do you wash with?"
"Yizi, that thing is not cheap, and it cannot be washed clean. But if it is not used, it cannot be washed clean. The young master said that it must be washed clean, so we have to give up the cost." He'er quickly explained.
Pancreas is a kind of "soap" made from pig pancreas that can clean clothes. After taking out the pig pancreas, remove the fat attached to the pancreas, wash the clean pig pancreas, mash it, and add sugar.
Mix soda ash and a small amount of soybean flour, add water to make a paste, roll it into balls, and dry it in the sun before use.
Pork is too rotten and low-grade, and no one eats it. In addition, the common people themselves cannot eat enough, and there is no surplus food to feed them. There are not many people raising pigs, and pig pancreas is rare, so it has become a rarity. The price is not cheap, and only high-ranking officials and wealthy families can eat it.
Only then can I use soap pulp to wash clothes.
Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up. If soap was made, wouldn't it be able to solve the problem of starching wool and provide another way to make money? Building roads requires a lot of money, and the money borrowed by the governments of various countries is simply not enough. He is worried that there is no place to make quick money. Isn't this right?
come yet?
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao said: "You ask someone in the family to go to Qinjiazhuang and ask Brother Xue to come over and make some items for you to wash. It is better than soap. The extra ones can be sold in the shop, and the money will be the same."
piece."
"Great, then our cost will be left." He'er was overjoyed and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao finished his meal in twos and twos, picked up a pen and paper and started writing. It is very easy to make soap. First put water and caustic soda in the pot. After all the alkali has dissolved, add oil and continue to heat, and keep stirring. Lard is the best, but sheep is not good.
Grease will do, too.
After the materials in the pot boil, continue heating over low heat and stirring constantly to fully saponify the oil. This process takes a whole day. The sodium higher fatty acid generated in the process is the main component of soap. Wait until the materials in the pot are saponified.
After completion, add salt to the pot and stir to fully dissolve the salt and promote the agglomeration of the soap base.
Take out the resting materials, and when taking them out of the pot, take out the upper layer of soap liquid and put it in the soap box (or model) and wait for it to slowly solidify and form. After it is formed, it will be soap.
Like selling money, soap must have some characteristics, such as adding spices to make it smell better, be larger, and last longer. This can be achieved with models, which is not difficult. Add some words such as wealth and auspiciousness to the surface.
The effect will be better, and the model can also be incised.
Qin Huaidao noted the key points in detail, drew the model style, and marked the dimensions.
After waiting for a while, Xue Rengui hurried over and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Young Master, are you looking for me?"
"This is a recipe for making soap. I will leave it to you to make it as well. It must be kept secret. How is the paper made?" Qin Huaidao handed over the recipe and asked.
Xue Rengui took it solemnly, without taking a closer look, and put it away close to his body. He was grateful for Qin Huaidao's trust and replied: "We are studying it, it may take some time."
"This matter really cannot be rushed, but it can be expanded and more people can try it. In this way, you can discuss with Mr. Huang and find a piece of land to build a wall around it. Build some rooms in it for workshops. The area will be larger and dedicated to production.
Paper and soap, manpower to find Huang Lao and Zhao Shuwen, remember, no men are required, all workers must sign a thirty-year employment document, and there are confidentiality clauses. Once leaked, the family will be investigated and the whole family will be exterminated. Only by being stricter can we prevent leaks. Everyone who works
Tentatively, the money will be given every month, and some rewards will be given at the end of the year." Qin Huaidao warned.
"How to determine this reward?" Xue Rengui asked curiously.
"Based on your usual performance, such as not asking for leave, not being late for work, doing things quickly and well, helping others, and not spreading rumors and causing chaos. You arrange for people to follow up and register every day, keep records, and check them in the future. Reward for the best performance.
One hundred guan, the rest will wait and see the profit amount."
"I understand, with such a high reward, I must work hard." Xue Rengui said with a smile.
"Don't tire everyone. Work at Mao hour, get off work at You time, rest at midnight, work four hours a day, and leave it to He'er to arrange it after you finish it." Qin Huaidao reminded that although 996 is what capitalists pursue, Qin Huaidao is not ruthless enough.
, eight hours is enough.
"That's too easy. I can still earn money every month. I will definitely rush to sign up. It will be difficult to choose who will be used and who will not be used." Xue Rengui sighed.
"There are as many as you need. I'm still worried about the lack of manpower. Once Paper and Soap has researched the formula and process, we can start working on it. The world is so big and we need it everywhere. Maybe we have to recruit people." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Then we can help many people survive."
Qin Huaidao didn't expect that Xue Rengui was not thinking about making money, but about helping many people. He was actually a man who worried about the world. Originally, he felt guilty for not going to the battlefield to kill everyone, so he stayed around and did trivial things. Now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
If it can benefit the people of one area and allow many people to survive, it will be a great merit.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao warned: "There are still many homeless children in Chang'an City. They have no father or mother and are in danger of death. You can contact them quietly and take them to Qinjiazhuang. Those of the right age will be thrown into the village guard team, and the others will stay."
The work and treatment are the same, and the team protecting the farm has been expanded to 500 people, but they must keep it secret."
Xue Rengui knew the seriousness of it. Once he was exposed, he would be charged with raising armed forces privately, which was tantamount to rebellion. He quickly agreed: "I understand, I used the excuse of work as a cover, but no one cares about the sudden appearance of more people. Even where they live is a problem."
.”
"Build more houses in the workshop and turn them into general shops. The village guards will all live in them in the future, and they will be managed in a unified manner like a regular army. If Zhao Shuwen can be used, you can take it with you. If he can't, train others. Once the business gets bigger,
You can’t do it to people you can’t trust.” Qin Huaidao warned.
Xue Rengui knew that Qin Huaidao was putting all his wealth and life on himself, and he was grateful. He quickly nodded and agreed, chatted for a few words and hurried back to Qinjiazhuang.
Qin Huaidao went to the west courtyard to continue making drums and guitars until he couldn't see clearly at night. Then he went to the study to continue teaching everyone how to sing and think about the music together.
Three days passed without realizing it.
This morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle.
Qin Huaidao rode to the outside of the city and saw Luo Zhang and Yuchi Baolin who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the accompanying 700 Yulin guards, who were now members of the patrol department. Each of them was riding a war horse, with their bodies upright, their eyes calm, and as still as a mountain.
, there are also many young men dressed in brocade clothes looking around, showing curiosity, they should be interns.
Carriages were lined up one after another. Inside the carriages were money borrowed from loans and upfront payments for road construction. Qin Huaidao didn't know how long it would last. He could only wait for the government to acquire paper, soap, liquor, quilts, boots and other industries.
After you make money, you will have the money to continue repairing. I hope the capital chain will continue.
"Set off!"
Qin Huaidao gave an order and the team walked slowly along the official road.
Yuchi Baolin rode up on his horse, walked side by side, and said in a low voice: "Brother, the target of 20,000 surrender troops is too big. It cannot appear near Chang'an City to avoid causing riots. We must go around from other places. My father said that the Holy Spirit meant,
Let him personally lead the troops to escort him, just in case, and they will bring road construction tools and other supplies."
Jiangjun is a well-trained soldier. If something happens on the road, the Seven Hundred Yulin Guards will not be able to control it. Qin Huaidao nodded in understanding, looked at the intern and asked: "Are they okay?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. We all know their details. If they really dare to jump, we'll give them a bad review. I can't beat them to death if they dare to act recklessly." Yuchi Baolin said nonchalantly.
"Just watch and don't make trouble. Although we are not afraid, if we do make trouble, it won't matter on our faces. It might be magnified by others." Qin Huaidao warned, turning back to look at Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to come up.
"The people in the patrol department are all under your control. There are two things to do. Take care of the money and take care of them."
"Understood, whoever dares to jump will be killed by me!" Luo Zhang promised.
"Don't know how to fight and kill in just one day. The surrendered troops are not familiar with the terrain and don't understand the language. As long as you respect them, they won't think of rebellion. No matter how good the food and drink are, and the money you get, you should be able to work hard. I'm afraid they are all young people, very angry, and conflicts will arise if they bump into each other. You need to deal with them fairly, without partiality or selfishness, just like when you brought mercenaries, do you understand?" Qin Huaidao reminded.
"Understood!" Luo Zhang responded quickly and wrote it down secretly.
After walking for a certain distance, the team in front stopped, and a soldier came galloping over on horseback: "Report, Your Majesty is waiting in front, let your Excellency pass immediately."
"Your Majesty?"
Qin Huaidao was shocked and rushed forward with Yuchi Baolin and Luo Zhang on horseback.
Not long after, I saw a team in front of me. Li Er was waiting on a war horse. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his fists and shouted, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"See you off!" Li Er said with a smile and gave Wang De a look.
Wang De nodded knowingly, took the tray from a waiter next to him, and carried it forward. There was a jade cup on the tray with wine in it. Qin Huaidao got off his horse, took the jade cup, drank it in one gulp, and put it back on the tray. He was grateful. He said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
"Build the road well. If you need anything, send someone to send a message. If there is anything at home, I will look after it for you. Don't have any worries. When can I go and have a look?" Li Er warned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern and giving me one month. I will be able to cultivate some in one month."
"Okay, then I will go there in a month, don't let me down."
"I understand!"
"One more thing." Li Er said and looked at Wang De again.
Wang De quickly took out an imperial decree from his pocket and started to read it. The first part he heard was half-understood, as if he was praising both civil and military talents, but Qin Huaidao understood the second part - it was a marriage grant. With this imperial decree, The marriage with Yuzhang is officially settled.
Qin Huaidao originally thought that Li Er would figure it out and issue this imperial edict only after the road was repaired. He didn't expect to come down just before setting off. He was so benevolent and generous. No wonder he was supported by so many capable people in the world and finally climbed to the Dabao. Truly extraordinary.
Although he didn't care about the marriage, Li Er was willing to marry his sweetheart. He must recognize this friendship and be a man without conscience. Qin Huaidao quickly accepted the order and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage. I must dedicate myself to repairing the road in return." By the grace of God, just in case!”
"Go ahead. If there is any obstruction, you can make a decision on the spot. Kill first and then play." Li Er warned.
Qin Huaidao's expression changed slightly. It was just a road construction. Why should he be given the right to "make a decision on the spur of the moment, kill first and report later"? Could it be that Li Er knew something but couldn't say it clearly, so he reminded himself in disguise? He wrote it down secretly.
The group said goodbye and walked away slowly, facing the rising sun and getting further and further away.
