"But our army is good at fighting on foot but not on water."
"Now we need to form a naval army..."
Li Si suggested:
"Wei Chen heard that the Wei army surrendered 200,000 troops."
"The State of Wei is a place with dense water networks. Although it has never established a naval army, the Bian River is advantageous for navigation."
"I think there are quite a few people who can swim, build and operate boats."
"Why don't we transfer capable people from the Wei army to form a naval army?"
Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly:
"This method is very good, so we used the Wei army to form a naval army."
Li Si replied:
"It's just that the candidate for training the navy was originally none other than General Yang."
"But first of all, General Yang is busy with military affairs, and secondly, General Yang is not familiar with water warfare..."
Ying Zheng laughed "haha" and said:
"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry about this, I already have a candidate!"
At the same time, he secretly thought:
First the water attacked Daliang, then the Chu army was flooded, and now a water army was formed...
Wonderful, wonderful!
This guy was indeed sent by the gods to help us unify the Central Plains, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?!
At that time, Shen Bing was drying the quilt with a frown on his face.
It is true that the Qin army won a great victory in this battle, but Shen Bing, who originally thought there was still a month left, was not prepared. As a result, the duck feather quilt was soaked in water as soon as the flood entered the city.
If it's sunny during this period, it won't be a problem. Just open it and put it on the roof to bask in the sun.
But the weather was either snowing or cloudy, so there was no chance of sunshine.
In addition, we have to be busy repairing the city wall fortifications during the day... Although the possibility of Chu's attack at this time is already very small, we must think about the battlefield ahead no matter what.
So I don’t have time during the day and can only bake at night.
The others are similar, except that it seems more convenient to bake the wheat stems, just hang them by the fire.
What you need to pay attention to is not to get too close to the fire and turn it over in time, otherwise it will "crack" and burn a large piece accidentally.
It's more troublesome to dry duck feathers. That's a bunch of duck feathers. How long does it take to dry them?
Fortunately, Mengliang still had some ideas. He asked the guards to each grab a handful and bake them carefully.
However, because there are too many, Shen Bing and Meng Liang both need to share some.
Meng Liang smiled while baking:
"A stingy man is also interesting. Why don't you warn me before you flood the Chu army?"
"We only need to temporarily move the bedding to the roof, which saves us a lot of trouble!"
Shen Bing sighed:
"How can I say this?"
Meng Liang only reacted when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh a few times in embarrassment:
"That's right, that's right!"
Cang asked excitedly from the side:
"Senior brother, are the rumors from the outside world true?"
"Do you really have Thunder God to help you?"
Shen Bing replied angrily:
"Seriously! Not only Thunder God, but also Lightning Mother!"
The craftsmen roared with laughter.
Not wanting to say that "the speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested", the gossip spread immediately the next day:
"It is said that Shen Bing also has Mother Dian to help him!"
"The Thunder God can split the frozen river, but what can the Lightning Mother do?"
"This is wrong. Without the help of the Lightning Mother, how could the Thunder Lord be able to dig through the frozen river alone?"
Everyone seemed to understand and said "Oh".
People in this era did not understand some natural phenomena, so they used myths to explain them.
For example, when there is thunder and lightning in the sky, it is understood as the quarrel between the male thunder and the female lightning.
So the meaning of "helping each other" actually means that a slap can't make a sound. If the mother of lightning doesn't make the thunder god angry, how can it be struck down by a thunder...
Then after a few more people were passed on, it became clear that Lightning Mother was deliberately irritating Thunder God, and various plots were interspersed from beginning to end.
Shen Bing couldn't laugh or cry when he heard these rumors.
However, Shen Bing was too lazy to explain, and these things were often described as Yu Hei, and the explanation could not be explained clearly.
The city wall was not repaired until five days later, and then the engineers organized the dredging and building of buildings in the city... This was to ensure normal life in the future, so it was inevitable.
Just then the censor came with bamboo slips.
What was different from usual was that he first congratulated Shen Bing, and then spread out the bamboo slips and read out:
"A man who is stingy at work and sinks his troops, admonishes him for his meritorious service in attacking Daliang and flooding the Chu army. He is promoted to a high official!"
The surrounding soldiers cast envious glances.
Shen Bing didn't know what the official doctor meant, so he didn't feel much about it, but others knew: If the fifth-level doctor jumped over the dragon gate to give a high-ranking official the title, then the official doctor can be said to be A true aristocrat.
As the saying goes, "A doctor or above can eat a town, and a scholar can eat a field."
Starting from the sixth level of nobility, you can have the same "food estate" as other nobles.
The so-called "food town" is also a "fief".
If it is a "food town" of the other six countries, then the power will be great: all the resources and people in the fiefdom belong to you. In principle, you can do whatever you want, including the people, which is equivalent to a small feudal lord.
However, the system of prefectures and counties adopted by the Qin State was different from that of the other six countries.
The system of prefectures and counties has to a great extent weakened the power of those who "eat the towns" and protected the interests of the people.
For example, when Shen Bing was promoted to the sixth rank, he lived in seven hectares of land. In the Qin State, the people in the seven hectares of land did not have control and management rights. The people still belonged to the state.
Shen Bing's only power was to collect taxes and grain from the people in these seven hectares of land according to law.
When the censor put away the bamboo slips, he confessed again:
"Official official, General Yang asked you to come and discuss important matters!"
Shen Bing responded and walked towards Yang Duanhe's commander-in-chief's residence with a few personal guards.
The reason for bringing personal guards is not that Shen Bing is timid, but that this place was the territory of the Wei State not long ago. In case there are any bandits or those who have a grudge against Shen Bing after hearing that Shen Bing planned a water attack on the beam, If so...that would be a big deal.
Shen Bing didn't want to end the game so inexplicably, so he usually brought his personal guards with him when traveling.
At this time, Yang Duanhe's handsome mansion had been moved from the edge of the city to the county government office.
This is to better handle beam affairs.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a group of Yang Duanhe's personal guards busy sorting out various documents in the warehouse... The most important thing after the war was to keep a clear count of the people's household registrations so that they could be managed easily.
From this aspect, being a general in charge is not an easy task.
At least Shen Bing couldn't do it. If Shen Bing was allowed to do it, it would be better to kill him.
Seeing Shen Bing come in, Yang Duanhe put down what he was doing and came forward, saying with a smile on his face:
"Congratulations to the stingy husband for being promoted to a high official."
Shen Bing hurriedly said something humble, for example, it was the general who led well, and it was the king who was wise that made Shen Bing what he is today.
Yang Duanhe just smiled and replied:
"At this time, there is a position that needs a stingy husband to take over, but I don't know the stingy husband..."
Shen Bing looked around and said that Yang Duanhe asked him to take over as the county magistrate.
