Good Life in Qin Dynasty

On the third day of December, Ying Zheng's birthday.

He turns 20 this year.

In fact, he was already 20 years old after the beginning of spring last year, but his birthday was too young, and the ministers also intentionally neglected to announce that he was 20 years old this year.

It was a whole birthday, Li Jiyang thought for a long time, and finally decided to bring something to see Ying Zheng.

The Lord's birthday is actually not very lively. Although there is no shortage of everything now, Ying Zheng still doesn't like extravagance.

On birthdays, all the ministers offered gifts and had the birthday banquet, and then they all bid farewell. It happened to be a rest today, and everyone came to the palace without breakfast. The gifts were all superficial, a delicate snack Ding, a fine cloth and so on.

Lu Buwei didn't come back, but he asked his family to prepare a congratulatory gift early, which was a pair of delicate jade buckets.

This thing is used to measure wine, it is very transparent, and it is not ordinary at first glance. Li Jiyang fell in love with it at that time. Jade buckets are rarely handed down from later generations. One is because jade is not easy to preserve, and the other Even this thing is rarely used in later generations, but Ying Zheng still had people send things to a remote palace, and all the things stored in it were gifts from Lu Buwei.

He saw that Li Jiyang liked the pair of jade buckets, and he would rather find a few pairs for Li Jiyang himself for him to play with than play with Lu Buwei's things for Xiaoyang!

When they left, Ying Zheng's close courtiers stayed behind. Gan Jing and the others gave almost all books as gifts. In this era, books are very precious things.

Fan Zeng's family fortune was also managed by Li Jiyang, but he didn't buy valuables for Ying Zheng, and he didn't give money directly for no reason. The king must be richer than him.

His gift was a not-so-exquisite wooden hairpin. The wooden hairpin itself was made of good wood, iron wood.

When Ying Zheng asked, he found out that this wooden hairpin was carved by Fan Zeng himself. From the second day he met the king, he carved the wooden hairpin when he was free.

Several carvings were broken before it became this one.

Ying Zheng immediately put it on his head with great care and respect. This is a sign of respect for an elder and a respect for a talented person.

Li Jiyang took the time to give him a thumbs up.

Old General Wang Jaw gave Yingzheng three sabers, swords, spears, daggers and other weapons from three generations of the Meng family, all of which belonged to enemy generals seized from the battlefield!

The significance of these three swords is extraordinary!

The gifts that everyone gave in private were very interesting, and in the end Li Jiyang was the only one left. Meng Tian jumped out and started messing around: "Everyone gave gifts, Qin Anjun, what about yours? You are the righteous brother of the king, if you don't Give me a good gift, my brothers will not let you go!"

Because Li Jiyang provided the army with a lot of supplies, but never pointed fingers at the army, it was a far cry from Lu Buwei!

Therefore, from old to young in the army, they were very close to Li Jiyang, Qin Anjun.

Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, Xin Sheng and other rookies in the army of the young and strong faction were very familiar with Li Jiyang.

Talking to Li Jiyang is a bit indifferent, more like friends, buddies, buddies.

"You will all be dumbfounded when I show this gift!" Li Jiyang was confident in his gift.

"Have you prepared ten beauties for the king?" Meng Tian was very good at guessing.

Ying Zheng glared at him, he didn't care, the two were classmates in martial arts class, and it was common for them to roll on the ground and fight together.

"It can't be a big beauty, could it be a servant of great strength?" Xin Sheng leaned over to add fuel, "Look at Lu Xiangguo's joke... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Ben gagged and dragged him away. You can say anything about Lu Buwei, so don't show off your low IQ in front of so many elders.

Doctor Teng thought for a long time: "Could it be the cement formula?"

"How dare you think about it!" Han Fei who was sitting next to him almost rolled his eyes.

The power of cement is so amazing that the ruler of the country is not ashamed to ask Qin Anjun for it.

"The master of the cement formula doesn't want it." Li Jiyang scratched his head. When he said to give it, Ying Zheng didn't want it yet.

"Placing it in your place is the same as putting it in my place." Ying Zheng felt relieved about Li Jiyang.

"Boy, what kind of gift are you giving to the king?" The old general Wang Zhe had been curious for a long time.

"Come here, bring the things in!" Li Jiyang called out, and two people lifted up a wooden board, with a big bag bulging on top, covered with silk, and they didn't know what was inside.

Ying Zheng saw that everyone was very curious, and he was also very itchy. Last year, Xiao Yang gave a grass with five colors, and he ate it directly, and then sweated all over the next day, and then his spirit became stronger. It's getting better and better, and his body is much lighter. Now Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben and Xin Sheng can't beat him when they play "corner".

In the past, at most, he could deal with Meng Tian and Xin Sheng, but if he added Wang Ben, he would lose...

Ying Zheng stepped forward and lifted the silk, and what appeared in front of him was a pair of finely carved saddles, a complete set!

With pedals, high bridges, and even horseshoes!

"This?" Everyone frowned because they didn't know each other!

"This is for horses." Li Jiyang introduced it in detail. After hearing this, everyone was shocked, but the eyes of the generals were all blind!

In the end, a group of people flocked to the martial arts arena for martial arts training.

The three women in the harem with a child are waiting for Ying Zheng to come back for dinner!

"Go to the Martial Arts Field?" Hearing the servant's report, the three women were a little confused, what kind of martial arts field should they go to on a good day, shouldn't they be eating and drinking at this time?

Why do you still want to practice martial arts?

Besides, at this point, who do you want to fight with?

"I heard that Mr. Qin An made a new gadget. The adults went to the martial arts arena with the lord." The servant said again: "He also led the horse over there."

The Queen Mother and Queen Mother of the Two Palaces became even more curious, and even led the horse?

"Go and see the situation again!" Zhao Ji finally spoke. She is Ying Zheng's biological mother, and she is the oldest on this day.

"promise!"

On the martial arts arena, Li Jiyang asked someone to shoe a white horse with an extraordinary horse according to his memory.

He didn't understand this before. Later, when his brother opened a green vegetable greenhouse, he wanted to find an old man from the farm as a consultant for the entire green agricultural manor. The old man took a look at his land , asked him what he used for plowing, and his brother honestly said that he used oxen and horses. In the end, because horses were better, he abandoned the oxen and used horse-drawn plows to plow the land.

The old man directly asked his brother to buy a pony, and then he came back and made a horseshoe himself. It was nailed very well!

At that time Li Jiyang was just watching, but a lot of ponies were nailed down, so you can watch it!

This is not difficult.

After the horseshoes were finished, Li Jiyang began to direct the people to saddle the horses. It might be the first time the horseshoes were shoed, and the big white horses were not used to wearing the drag boards. It is a tribute horse, and it has been tamed long ago. It will be much better if the servant in charge of the horse comforts it.

After everything was done, a complete horse appeared in front of the people, with horseshoes and a saddle on its back. Li Jiyang held a small leather whip in his hand. Of course, he didn't really want to whip the horse. Li Jiyang supported the saddle, stepped on the stirrup, and struggled I climbed up with all my strength, and with a saddle, I feel safe!

In the past, Li Jiyang did not dare to ride a horse because in the Qin Dynasty, there were no saddles and stirrups!

Gently whipped the horse's butt with the whip, and the big white horse started running in the martial arts arena.

The martial arts arena was built with bluestone slabs, and the ground was very flat. After the big white horse trotted, the crisp hooves echoed in the huge martial arts arena, adding a bit of bleakness to the winter.

"Qin Anjun is just showing us how he rides a horse?" Meng Tian scratched his head.

Xin Sheng said, "Young Master, you didn't know how to ride a horse before, but now you know how to do it. It seems that you can ride a horse pretty well."

On the contrary, the veterans were all surprised by this. Qin Anjun looked thin and thin, but after thinking about it, he has traveled by car for so many years, and has never ridden a horse!

"Could it be that this is something that Qin Anjun researched for himself to ride horses?" Old General Wang Zhe was astonished.

"I'm afraid it is!" Old General Meng Ao stroked his gray beard and nodded.

"Is this too...?" Old General Wang Jaw couldn't laugh or cry after being astonished!

On the contrary, Nei Shiteng was very appreciative: "Although Qin Anjun is thin in body, he has a lot of ambition. If he can't ride a horse, he has to get something to ride a horse. It can be seen that Qin Anjun is a person who refuses to admit defeat!"

"He didn't design it for himself, he designed it for me, Qin Jun!" Ying Zheng knew that they had actually figured out something, but it involved the army, and they were afraid that Qin Anjun would get too far with the army. The closeness made the adult king feel uncomfortable.

From ancient times to the present, military power has always been a very sensitive word.

Ying Zheng has long seen that for a person like Xiao Yang who has no kung fu background, it is difficult to ride a horse. With the pile of things he brought, he can easily get on the horse and run very well. What about a ranger with superb riding skills?

In their foreign wars, only the northern frontier defense was the most important, because after crossing the Great Wall, it was the territory of the Huns.

When fighting against them, the Qin soldiers always defended the city. On the grassland, even the wolves would flee from the Huns' surprise soldiers.

If the Qin army can fight immediately like the Huns, why should they be afraid of the Huns?

Not only the Xiongnu, but also Donghu, Yuezhi, etc. The only thing they rely on is that their riding skills are better than those of the Central Plains, and they come and go like the wind.

If this is the case, the people of the Central Plains will also do it. What is there to be afraid of the few Huns?

After hearing this, everyone pondered for a while, and it was Old General Wang Jaw who spoke first: "But, Qin Anjun, he... this thing..."

"If he can donate it, he must have planned it. Maybe it has been prepared a long time ago. As long as Beijiang nods, the things will be delivered!" Ying Zheng knew Li Jiyang too well, and the same thing happened with the pills before. It's done, as long as you agree, there will be a lot of them sent to the barracks.

At this time, Li Jiyang came back from a stroll. His horse was followed by a lot of servants, all of them followed him, in case he fell or the horse was startled. Anyway, it was to prevent accidents. Fortunately, even though Li Jiyang had a saddle, he did not dare Running fast on horseback is mainly because he enjoys the feeling of wind when running fast in space. If he runs fast outside, the north wind in this winter is too cold!

"How is it?" Li Jiyang jumped off his horse, looking very chic, and patted the big white horse: "People like me can trot. If the equestrian is good, he must run like lightning!"

"To match the 20 troops in northern Xinjiang with this?" Ying Zheng pointed to the saddle.

"Well, there are also horseshoes, which must also be nailed!" Li Jiyang pointed to the horse's hooves: "This can prevent the horse from being damaged."

"How much do you plan to ration?" Ying Zheng took the hand warmer from the servant and handed it to Li Jiyang.

"40 horses, 40 horses will be given to the first batch, and 40 horses will be given to the second batch." Li Jiyang took off his cotton gloves, took over the hand warmer and held it: "The first batch is fully equipped, and the second batch will be delivered to Beijing. The frontier army groped their own way, and in the end, one person could be allocated four horses, which was enough for them. As for the generals, every time they go up to a higher level, they will be equipped with two more good horses."

"So many?" Old General Wang Jaw was astonished. How many horses did the Qin army have?They mostly use the kind of horses that pull chariots, and there are really very few war horses.

"It was given by my third senior brother!" Li Jiyang had no choice but to compile another senior brother.

The senior brother is a medical student, the second senior brother is a killer, and the third senior brother is a horse dealer!

When mentioning Qin Anjun's sect, these people had a tacit understanding and stopped asking.

But I value Qin Anjun more in my heart, it is good to have a teacher!
