Cub Nursery

"What?" Zhao Feiteng leaned forward, staring fixedly at Master Zhang, trying to see something from his face.

Master Zhang picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhao Feiteng.

The tea was still hot, steaming, and the tea was fragrant.

Different from the tea in sister's house, the tea here is new tea, a tribute produced in the south of Great Qin. Even Zhao Feiteng was in the capital before, and he only drank it in some big man's house, he didn't have it himself.

But in Qiyuan County, Master Zhang used it to entertain guests.

"Master Zhang's words are serious?" Zhao Feiteng was not in the mood to drink tea, his whole body was full of momentum, and he said almost word by word, "Master Zhang, some things should not be said indiscriminately. Everything in the county is fine, what is abnormal?"

Zhao Feiteng's hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

If what Mr. Zhang said is true, then he is really blindfolded, his ears covered, trapped in this small courtyard, coaxed by people like Mr. Zhang, and he really knows nothing about the outside world up.

Master Zhang picked up the teacup, put it in front of Zhao Feiteng, poured tea for himself, and said slowly: "If General Zhao doesn't believe it, just go outside the city and find out."

"Seriously." Since he was willing to let him see it with his own eyes, it was definitely not groundless, and Zhao Feiteng was instantly depressed.

He has always thought that although he is trapped in this small courtyard, he has many secrets in his heart that can be used as bargaining chips, and people like Master Zhang need the secrets in his heart, so the two parties are a cooperative relationship, and he can always find opportunities to raise the bargaining chip with the other party. bargain.

But he didn't know about the upheaval outside the county until now. It can be seen that Master Zhang and others were polite to him, but they were always on guard against him, and didn't even take him very seriously.

Zhao Feiteng was so angry that he wished he could overturn the table immediately.But now he is alone and alone. Although sister Yan is beautiful, she can't help at all. Now he is a fish and Master Zhang is Daozu.

Thanks to him, he thought that he had a lot of secrets in his heart, which were extremely valuable.

Thinking in this way, Zhao Feiteng immediately stood up, bowed his hands to Master Zhang, and said with a very low posture, "Master Zhang, if you have any orders, just say it, I will know everything without saying it."

After I figured it out, my attitude has also changed, being able to bend and stretch, this is Zhao Feiteng's way of survival.

Master Zhang nodded reservedly, "General Zhao knows... who is in charge outside?"

"...I don't know." Zhao Feiteng's face turned red. Except for the county seat, all the towns below Qiyuan County were turned upside down. Now all the people are besieging Qiyuan County. He also wants to know who has such great ability.

If the person in charge was replaced by him, he would definitely not be able to manage those people in a submissive manner.

"General Zhao really doesn't know?" Master Zhang was a little puzzled.

"I really don't know." Zhao Feiteng was also puzzled.When Master Zhang asked him this way, did he think that he had something to do with the principals outside?But who could he be related to?Could it be... Thinking about it this way, Zhao Feiteng felt that Master Zhang should know something, but he just came to him to confirm, so he said vaguely, "Master Zhang knows who it is?"

Seeing Zhao Feiteng's attitude, Mr. Zhang was a little confused, so he said directly: "On the surface, one is General Gou and the other is Uncle Gouwa, both of whom are highly convinced by the people below. General. But in my opinion, neither of these two people has the ability to win over so many people, and there must be a person in charge to help them out. This person in charge is either a military adviser, or he is the real commander in chief."

General Dog, Uncle Gouwa?Zhao Feiteng had never heard of it.

He said calmly: "It must be so."

Master Zhang thought that Zhao Feiteng had admitted it, so he said: "Uncle Gouwa is alive and dead now, and his eldest son is a fool, so there is nothing to worry about. But the sons under Uncle Gouwa are not very old. Big, but they are all very ruthless, without Uncle Gouwa, they must be busy fighting for power and profit, and it is most likely to go wrong at this time."

While talking, Master Zhang looked at Zhao Feiteng and repeated 'something went wrong' again.

Zhao Feiteng understood.

It is true that the county town has not changed much, but the life of the people in the city is certainly not very easy. Not to mention whether there is food to eat or drink, even if the county town is besieged, and I don’t know when it will be safe, it is enough to scare the little people so that they can’t sleep at night.

The adults in the city, like Mr. Zhang, are obviously not as calm as they seem.

Wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of Uncle Gouwa's life and death outside the city and when his young sons are fighting for power and profit go wrong, this is a sign of guilt.

However, in Zhao Feiteng's view, the county was besieged and there was no way to turn the tide, so it was normal to find ways to exploit loopholes.

"This matter depends on General Zhao." Master Zhang cupped his hands at Zhao Feiteng.

Zhao Feiteng's heart skipped a beat, and the expression on his face became stiff.

He doesn't know who the person in charge outside is. If he really has something to do with him, then he can act as a middleman, but if the person in charge outside has nothing to do with him, then if he rashly takes this job on him, then Wouldn't it be like moths to a flame?

But now he can't make a clear relationship with the outsiders, otherwise Master Zhang will definitely turn his back on him immediately, and it will be troublesome at that time.

"Let's see." Zhao Feiteng's heart felt numb, but his face was watertight, so he answered vaguely.

After explaining this matter clearly, Master Zhang showed a smile on his face, "General Zhao, don't worry, Mr. Jia will stand in front of everything. Even if the court blames him in the future, won't Mr. Jia also be there? When Qiyuan County is reorganized in the future Bing, this little general stationed in the army must belong to General Zhao."

That's the promise.

Zhao Feiteng's face looked much better. Master Zhang promised him to guard the little general, and he naturally had to reciprocate, so he revealed: "Master Jia is nothing to worry about, and neither are the people under him. Those who are really useful No one has shown up yet. Sister Qi should pay more attention, she is no worse than ordinary men."

"What does General Zhao know?" Master Zhang's expression changed, "Sister Qi has been inquiring about a lot of news these days. Does she have a way to send the news?"

"Impossible." Zhao Feiteng was taken aback and was almost spotted by Mr. Zhang. He hurriedly said, "Sister Qi is just from a good family background, she is the daughter of the Duke, if she can win over to Qiyuan County, Naturally, there are many benefits."

As he said this, Zhao Feiteng wondered in his heart whether sister Qi would have a way to send out the information he had inquired about.

He didn't know that there were helpers sent by the emperor beside Jia Qiugu, and he didn't know that Yan Xun had already entered the city, and even brother Dan and Dan Honghong slipped in to see Jia Qiugu.

If Sister Qi really has a way to send the news, then the county will be in danger.

Zhao Feiteng once again regretted that he came to Qiyuan County after listening to Sister Yan's words. He secretly hated him, and was going to go back later and ask Sister Yan, and find a way to find a job for her. He had to help him. But it will not keep waste.

Master Zhang's thoughts on the opposite side also turned around, but he didn't show it either.

The two of them pondered for a moment, and then separated with cheerful faces. When the two turned around at the same time, their expressions drooped instantly.

Dan Honghong, who was hiding in the dark, glanced at Zhao Feiteng, then turned around and chased Master Zhang.

Seeing the Bobo cubs, the Bouncing cubs, the Claw cubs, and the Thunder cubs, Yan Xun felt his whole body relax.

"My lord, I found that there are a lot of vegetation in Qiyuan County, and it is not suitable to open up wasteland in many places. It is better to keep the mountains and forests, and you can get some materials to make paper." The bomb cub said excitedly, "Maybe the people in Qiyuan County The material is more suitable for making paper."

On the side, the cub Bobo took a knife to cut a wooden stick, and said: "Nowadays, the cost of papermaking workshops in the capital is getting higher and higher. Plants and trees have to be transported from far away, and they have to be sorted, and waste water treatment is becoming more and more troublesome." , the cost price of paper is increasing almost every day."

But at the beginning when Yan Xun decided the price, the price of paper would hardly increase, and in order to make paper affordable for the poor, he had to spend money to subsidize it for activities on a regular basis.

The price of paper remains the same, but the cost price is rising. In the end, what is squeezed is the net profit of the paper workshop, which is Yan Xun's income.

Yan Xun was rarely in good spirits, so he asked Jing Fengye to open the window and sit under the window to bask in the sun outside. He didn't really care about how much money he had in the warehouse, as long as it was enough, but it's true that the paper-making workshop stayed in the capital. suitable.

The business of paper is huge, and it is unrealistic for Yan Xun to take it into his own hands.

"Let's withdraw the paper-making workshop later and leave the workshop in the capital to the imperial court. It's our contribution." Yan Xun lazily said, "As long as the imperial court can produce cheap paper, it doesn't matter what kind of paper it is, as long as it can be used, it will be fine." .”

"Use it as toilet paper." Bouncing Cub took over the conversation and said.

The sharp claw cub came over, with lingering fear on his face, "Paper is really important. Rich people use cloth, but poor people are reluctant to use cloth, so they use toilet chips. There is water in the toilet, and the toilet chips are wiped clean when they are used up." Continue to use. This is still a more particular family, some people don’t pay attention to it, just wipe it with your hands, or just pick up a stone and just wipe it casually.”

Thinking of the dry toilet that he saw with his own eyes a few days ago, Cub Claw still couldn't help shaking.

These little cubs suffered at the beginning when they were in Honglu Temple, but when Yan Xun came, they quickly built bathhouses and toilets, which were cleaner than the toilets used by some big families. Later, soft toilet paper was quickly produced. Anyway, I have never used a toilet chip, nor have I used my own claws.

The Cub Cub wrinkled his face, "I have been subconsciously staring at his hands when I see him these few days, and I even gave him a roll of toilet paper. I don't know if he has used it."

"Stop talking." Thunder Cub took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and wiped his paws, his chubby face was wrinkled like a steamed bun, "This is how poor people live. I heard that a long time ago, The looms are not as sophisticated as they are now, and the cloth is so rare that even the big families are reluctant to use cloth, and they also use toilet chips."

"I don't know who invented the chopsticks. If everyone eats with their hands, then..." The Bouncing Cub trembled, unable to continue.

They have long known that everything in the world is not as simple as it seems, and the environment we live in is not absolutely clean, but has thousands of tiny bacteria invisible to the naked eye, and excrement is not only very easy to breed bacteria, but also breeds Many pathogenic bacteria.

"Currently there are centralized latrines, which are used for composting. It won't work if it continues like this. In the future, we should build cleaner dry latrines first." The Claw Cub turned to Yan Xun and said, "My lord, what about workshops?" Don't worry, we have to solve the hygiene problem first."

Yan Xun nodded hastily, "That's right."

Seeing Yan Xun nod his head, the claw cub became happy again, and said to the bounce cub, "You don't know, when you go back to the county for the first time, you have to be careful, otherwise you will easily step on the dirt." Stuff. It’s okay if you live in the villages outside. Everyone knows that things can be fertilized, and they will pick them up when they see them. The people in the city have no fields, and some people still use Gong barrels, and some people don’t use them at all. Just go out and solve the problem.”

"Some of the alleys that people don't often walk in are all over the place. Don't mention the smell."

"Speaking of which, the entire Great Qin, that is, the capital city is the cleanest."

The sharp claw cub has been holding back his heart for a long time, but now he can't stop talking, and he babbled on for a long time.

The little prince in the city rested for a long time and hadn't waited for Dan Honghong to come back. He was a little worried, so he also came out to inquire about the news.

As a result, not long after he left the house, the little prince frowned, and his whole face was wrinkled.

If you accidentally break into some small alleys, the smell can suffocate people to death, that's not to mention, some places with strong weeds must not be stepped on, if you are not careful, there will be soft cakes on your feet, not only the taste is unpleasant Smell, there are many little bugs scurrying around.

The little prince couldn't help but think of the microorganisms, bacteria, etc. he saw through the microscope, and saw the densely packed worms crawling around, with goose bumps all over his body. Dare to get close.

After finally choosing a slightly cleaner alley, poop still appeared occasionally, and the little prince even regretted going to the city this time.

Finally, the little prince found a cleaner alley. He hesitated for a moment, the nails of his hands turned black instantly, and his whole body seemed to be a different person. He quickly ran into the alley, climbed up a tree, and hid.

After a while, an unremarkable door not far away slowly opened, Master Zhang came out with a straight face, followed by a sister in a cloak.

The alley has a panoramic view, and the walls are planted with small saplings, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to hide on them.

Master Zhang relaxed when he saw the door closed behind him and only his own people were left outside.

"You should think about it. If you follow me, you will have to sacrifice your life for the future, but it's different from Zhao Feiteng. Don't think that Zhao Feiteng is not a thing, he is very good to you." Master Zhang said, "Back then You coaxed Zhao Feiteng to come to Qiyuan County to get a future, and he followed, and now he is trapped in this small house, and he didn't do anything to you either."

"Besides, if it wasn't for Zhao Feiteng, do you think you could be stable in Qiyuan County for so long?"

"Sister Yu, to Qiyuan County, you are an outsider."

The last sentence has a deep meaning, and Sister Yan also finds it very interesting.

She was indeed an outsider, but when she secretly ran to find Master Zhang and offered to join him, Master Zhang did not refuse at that time.

Now that they have all come out of the house, Master Zhang said these high-sounding words again, and they are just beating her up.

"Master Zhang is so kind and virtuous, my daughter must not dare to act rashly." Sister Yan said in a low voice, "No matter what happens in the future, my daughter will remember this."

"That's good." Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

I don't know when a sedan chair appeared at the entrance of the alley. When Master Zhang got on the sedan chair, many servants suddenly appeared outside.

The little prince who was hiding on the sapling frowned, he didn't dare to move all the time, he could feel that there was still someone hiding in the dark, and he was carefully checking every place here.

After waiting for a long time, it was confirmed that all the people in the dark had disappeared, so the little prince ran to chase Master Zhang.

Chasing the sedan chair all the way, and finally approached without a trace, the little prince hesitated, then used the monster power on his body to create a gust of wind to blow towards the sedan chair.

The car curtain was raised, and the person sitting inside was a fat man who was similar to Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang was nowhere to be found.

"You're playing tricks." The little prince stomped his feet and quickly ran away.

It is impossible for the sedan chair to be replaced suddenly in broad daylight. It is very likely that there are people in the sedan chair, and the real Master Zhang did not sit in the sedan chair at all.
