"Write a reply to Li Hang." In the Lingwu County Prince's Mansion, Shao Shude thought for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to write a handwritten letter himself.
This word is really difficult to practice!
After returning from Yinzhou, Shao put calligraphy practice on his agenda.
Originally, according to the normal procedure, he should hire a calligrapher, so that he can show his status as a county king. But Xiazhou is remote and cannot find such a talented person. So the next best thing is to hire an old scribe from the Yamen.
.These people have been doing paperwork all their lives, and their handwriting is basically somewhat proficient, but Shao doesn’t need it.
He asked Feng Xuan to teach him how to write.
Feng Xuan came from a well-known family and was good at poetry and prose. When she married into the Yin family, scholars often voted for her. Feng Xuan would occasionally look through those poems and essays, and attached brief comments or slight changes.
The words in the language make those scholars who claim to be talented feel ashamed.
Of course she is also very good at writing. The old clerks in the yamen were full of praise after reading it, and then sighed that such a talented woman should be paired with a talented man. But think about it again, the talented man may not be able to protect the talented woman.
In today's world, serving the Prince of Lingwu seems to be a good destination.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Yamen is on holiday, and the sergeants are also given leave in batches. Shao Shude has a good sleep.
The maid delivered clothes and letters to the bedside.
Shao Shude opened it and looked at it. After thinking about it, he said what he meant and asked Feng Xuan to write a reply.
Feng Xuan got out of bed quietly, picked up a piece of gauze from the ground and put it on her body, then went to the desk to write a letter.
The desk was a little short, Feng Xuan turned around and rolled his eyes at Shao Shude, then turned his back to him and knelt down on the ground.
The tulle is indeed thin. Although it is not completely transparent, the half-covered and half-exposed appearance is even more attractive, fully displaying the beauty's smooth back, waist and hips in front of him.
Shao watched the beauty swipe her pen with great interest. After watching, he hugged Zhao Yu next to him, gently smoothed her messy hair, and said: "I have practiced calligraphy for so long.
If you can’t practice it, you don’t have the talent.”
Last night’s theme was “Talented Women’s Feast”.
Shao was born as a martial artist, but his cultural level was not good and it was always difficult to control himself in front of talented women. He came to such a themed night with the idea of improving his cultural accomplishment.
Hearing Shao Shude's shameless words, Zhao Yu's big eyes flashed twice. He wanted to laugh, but felt a little embarrassed.
Sometimes she would come and teach the king how to practice calligraphy.
But after a short period of practice, the king always does it in front of the desk. How can I continue to practice like this?
"When we were in Jinyang, you humiliated me in front of the desk... When we arrived in Xiazhou, you were still like this, my lord." Zhao Yu buried his face in Shao Shude's arms and said in a humming voice: "You just like to insult other people's wives.
"
Fuck, none of the women around him are simple! It feels like they are all human beings, and they use many tricks to seduce him, and they hit the point. He even doubts the little wild raccoon now, looking so helpless and forced to be humiliated in front of him,
They are all created characters to seduce themselves.
Many people have come to the Zhao family recently. Zhao Zhi is already the judge of real power. I heard that there are still people from Qinzhou coming over. The reason is that Zhao Yu is the mother of his eldest son.
This woman, once she has a child, many of her thoughts will be different.
I had promised to marry Fang Ai a long time ago. He was the eldest son and his wife and concubines at home also knew about it. But this matter, how should I put it, may be affected by external factors.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn’t stop.
In any case, as long as you stick to your principles and don’t give other people a chance, this matter is nothing. As time goes by, it will fade away. Even if you decide the six states, you still can’t find the palm of your hand!
Women are trying their best to please themselves, seduce themselves, and just enjoy themselves. It’s very comfortable anyway. How can a man, a real man, not be able to play with these little women? Can he still be led by their noses?
After getting up, Shao Shude had breakfast first, and then went to the study alone to think quietly.
Ximen Zhongsui’s side has basically reached an agreement.
He doesn’t necessarily have to deal with Tian Lingzi. But he is a little worried about this person. He always feels that he will do various things that are not good for him. What if he goes crazy one day and has to move the town?
Moreover, he had soldiers in his hands, and most of the saints were also under his control. Shao Shude even doubted whether the saints still had freedom of action.
It would be great if such a dangerous person could be eliminated.
Once Ximen Zhongsui comes to power, his importance as his foreign aid will increase dramatically, and he will be very helpful in reaping benefits. At least, there won't be any funny things happening in the court like issuing orders to various towns to attack him.
I opened another letter on the table, which was written by Wang Chongrong.
The king of Langya County was very practical. He first recalled the fight against the nest bandits in Tongzhou, and then hoped that he would oppose his move to Taining Army. To this end, he was willing to give money, food, gold, and beautiful concubines to him.
Damn it, when I was in Tongzhou, I said I wanted to give Meiji to me as a gift. It's been a few years now, and it's still the same thing.
It would be great if Meiji could get 10,000 more grains. There are six or seven wives and concubines in the house, and there is also a woman from another house hiding outside who dares not eat. These women are so powerful that she can hardly handle them.
Wang Chongrong must give him at least 300,000 hu of grain! There are one prefecture, four states and thirty-seven counties in the middle of the river, and Marshal Wang can afford it.
"Invite Judge Ren." Shao Shude called a soldier and ordered.
Judge Ren is naturally Ren Yuji. He has now taken up a military position and is serving as a judge in the Listening Department of the Shogunate, specializing in helping him take care of some shady matters.
Ren Yuji did not rest today and went to the military mansion early in the morning. He now has many people under his command. He receives more than sixty coins and two hundred bolts of silk from him every month. The newly appointed shogunate branch judge
Feng Wei once vaguely mentioned to himself that the Tingwang Division only had one judge, one Kongmu official, five driving officials, and more than ten envoys. The salaries of these people were directly paid by the shogunate, but they were paid privately.
Approving so much money may seem like corruption.
Shao Shude suppressed the matter.
Politics is very dirty and cruel. And intelligence is often the sewer of politics. It is extremely dirty, and the cost is naturally opaque and very high.
Shao Shude felt that he was now a political creature. In fact, those who became commanders were no longer pure warriors. Even those who were accomplished martial artists like Li Keyong had to change their coaches twice a year, promoting the old and suppressing them.
The old people used the Daibei Group to suppress the Hedong Group, but they did not let the Hedong Group completely lose power. Striking a balance is actually the instinct of political creatures.
A pure martial artist will most likely end up dead in the army.
Ren Yuji arrived soon. Shao Shude looked at him carefully. He was very different from many years ago. When he became the intelligence chief, would it also change a person's personality and temperament?
But it doesn’t matter. I gave him an annual salary of 720 yuan according to the standards of the governor. In addition, I also gave him a Yanzhou official to join the army, and he could receive an additional 360 yuan a year. This income is not much worse than that of a Yamen general.
Gone. Back then, I made an appointment with my old brother to share wealth, and my promise was finally fulfilled one by one.
"Over at Tongzhou, we will send more manpower recently and keep a close eye on it. If Wang Chongrong goes west, Tongzhou will not be able to get around it." Shao Shude looked at Ren Yuji sitting in front of him and said, "Yan and Danzhou.
, and we cannot relax. If the army goes south, it will be stationed in Danzhou. I don’t expect something unexpected to happen. Li Xiaochang’s nephew is the general there, right? Last time you said that he showed goodwill to a certain person and could have further contact.
But don’t make it too obvious.”
“As ordered.” Ren Yuji responded.
“When will the general send troops, so I can make a plan in advance.” Ren Yuji asked again.
“As soon as Wang Chongrong’s money and food arrive in Suizhou, we will send out troops.”
Suizhou and Hezhong Town are across the river to the northwest and are very close. If Wang Chongrong is quick, he can deliver the money and grain within a month, and then he can organize the ships from Lingzhou to start shipping in batches. With the current transportation capacity,
Seventy-five thousand grains of dendrobium can be transported at one time. It is already August, so this is probably the only time we can transport it.
However, the harvest in Lingzhou this year is not bad, and there are still many cattle and sheep left there. More than 70,000 tons of grain have been transported in advance, which is enough for them to last for a while. After March next year, they will continue to transport it, and three round trips will be enough.
After the transportation is completed, it will be almost time for the new immigrants to harvest the first crop of grain by then, which is just in time.
"The Jinglue Army, the Tielin Army, the Iron Cavalry Army, and the Yi Cong Army will all be brought along. The town is only guarded by the Dingyuan Army, the Wuwei Army and the state soldiers, and there are judges who will keep an eye on the inside. The secret spies of this faction
, Those who should be bribed should not be stingy with money, nothing is more important than our wealth. No one can cause chaos in the town!" Shao Shude finally warned.
After finishing working on this stall, Shao Shude went to the main hall.
Today the house is very lively, and many people have come. Yeli Yulue's family, Wuzangjieming's family, Zhe Silun's family, Feng Wei and Zhao Zhi are all in-laws and wives, and they are going to enjoy the moon together in the evening.
“Uncle.” Yeli Lingji led her nephew over and walked over.
“My nephew is here.” Shao Shude picked up the child directly with a smile on his face.
“Your Majesty, please pay attention to your dignity.” Zhe Fang Ai helplessly looked at Shao Shude holding Ye Li Yulue’s son and said.
“We are all one family, no need to worry about it.” Shao Shude smiled.
Yesterday, I took a few little ones to play at a horse farm outside the city. The wild and unloved ones all came from the mountains. They were very interested in the endless grassland. My uncle accompanied me to play with me. It was a great time and the relationship became closer.
Quite a few.
This horse farm in the north of the city was specially circled for the soldiers to practice riding and shooting. There were many good horses donated by various ministries in the past, but now they were sent to Yinchuan Ranch by Shao Shude's order.
Horse politics is of great importance, and the horses donated by each ministry are very good horses. It would be a pity to keep them in the stables. It is better to go to the Yinchuan pasture for breeding.
There are horse registrations in the pasture. According to the tradition of the country, the horses are branded on the buttocks, and then the age and coat color are recorded, but the pedigree is not registered. At this time, the horse management in Europe was not as good as that in China, but others came from behind, and registration began in the 17th century.
The bloodline was cultivated from generation to generation, and good horses began to emerge one after another.
Shao Shude doesn’t know why the imperial court didn’t register the bloodline and genealogy. It was just a matter of convenience. You have already numbered the horse’s butt. Is it difficult to register the genealogy?
Yinchuan Ranch has also done this since this year. Horses donated by tribes are sent there to be registered and naturalized. Horses are different from people. People can change their destiny through acquired learning and exercise. There is no fundamental blood relationship between people.
Difference. But horses are different. A good horse is a good horse, and its genes are excellent. Otherwise, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have worked hard to obtain a horse with blood.
The horses in the pasture are now adapted to the northwest climate, and then you can select and breed those with outstanding shoulder height, weight, speed, sprinting power, explosive power, temperament, and discipline. Their offspring will continue to be inspected, and the best will be selected from generation to generation.
Hope to breed excellent horse breeds.
Europeans follow the same approach. There is no magic technology, just cumbersome and lengthy selective breeding and training.
Whether you can tolerate rough feeding is not considered. Whether your endurance is good or not is not important for the time being. It can be used as an indicator, but the weight is low. Because your own cavalry can ride on horses that are resistant to rough feeding and have good endurance in the future.
, war horses are carefully cared for, fed with concentrated feed, cleaned from time to time, and maintained with sufficient energy and stamina, just to be able to defeat the enemy at the moment of battle.
Spain's Andalusian horses charge with amazing power, speed, explosiveness, and momentum to the extreme. But after charging for half an hour, they were covered in sweat and had no strength at all. In terms of endurance, they are completely incomparable with Mongolian horses, but
The cavalrymen like this kind of horse very much, because during the half hour of the battle, you have an absolute advantage, which is enough to kill the enemy several times.
"Uncle, I have to go horse riding tomorrow." Ye Li Kecheng said as he squirmed in Shao Shude's arms.
"Yes. Come earlier next time. My uncle will take you to Baimaliu City (Huile County) to ride horses. There are pastures and a big river there." Shao Shude smiled and said, "But today you have to enjoy the moon."
“Isn’t this a Han people’s festival?” Ye Li Kecheng asked.
“My uncle is a Han Chinese. Do you like Han people?”
"like."
“There are no Han Chinese or Dangxiang people. We are all Chinese. It is the custom of Chinese people to enjoy the moon and reunite with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you understand?”
“Can we go horse riding tomorrow?”
“Of course you can, I will choose a colt for you. When you grow up, I will make you a general.”
Fa Zang Jie Ming, Zhe Silun's children listened and were very envious. They all clamored for horses, and Shao Shude agreed one by one.
Zhe Fangxiao looked on with annoyance and amusement. At this time, her husband was not serious at all, not majestic, not cold, just like an old man who doted on children.
She knew that it was not easy for her husband. The Yeli clan and the Musang clan were both powerful clans in Hengshan, and their strength should not be underestimated. Her husband was the leader of the six states of Dingnan, and he had always been the main one to win over these two clans. Now with these children
Playing may also want them to get closer to their uncle. When they grow up in the future, it will be easier to remember the family relationship between them when they were young.
After staying for two days, treat your husband well. Thinking of this, Zhe Fang Ai's face turned a little red. There were some things she had always been unwilling to do, but this time she felt a little soft-hearted.
It’s just that, men are also children. It will be beneficial to obey him a little and give him some sweetness.
Those concubines in the family are not fuel-efficient lamps!
