Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

011

As early as when he entered the Qin court, Lu Buwei heard the wind.

The generals headed by Wang Yan and Zhao Wei personally went down to supervise the craftsmen. After dozens of days, they finally created the same harness as described in the drawings.

According to legend, after the horseshoe is put on the horseshoe, it is no longer afraid of the wear and tear of the four feet, and the forward speed is twice as fast as before.

On the other hand, cavalry with stirrups and saddles can draw bows and arrows, attack with swords while the horses are moving forward, sit on the horses steadily, and even use long weapons to charge and break through the formation.

As soon as the two pieces of equipment came out, the whole army was shocked.

Not to mention the Six Kingdoms, even the Hu people who are famous for riding and shooting, how can they stand up to such iron cavalry?

For a time, Zi Chu's prestige in the army increased greatly.

Even the people of Qin couldn't help but think highly of Lu Buwei: This businessman... really has something.

Today's Qin Wang Yingji is 68 years old and has been in power for more than [-] years. He is dressed in black, majestic and majestic, without anger.

Sitting on the throne, seeing Lu Buwei look up, he said slowly: "I have heard that recently, the generals in the army have ordered craftsmen to make stirrups and horseshoes. After the horses are equipped, their combat power can be increased tenfold. Is it true?"

Qin Wangji's voice fell to the ground, and a general named Qin Zhou came out.

"Report to the king." Zhao Xi said happily: "In the past when cavalry fought, if a man on horseback wanted to raise a knife or draw a bow, he had to stop the horse to free up his hands. But with stirrups and saddles, the cavalry can stand on horseback Stabilize your figure, draw your bow and shoot arrows, and swing your weapon. As for the horseshoe, as long as it is nailed to the sole of the horse's foot, it can not only prevent the wear of the horse's hoof, but also protect the balance of the horse's movement, which greatly increases the active time of the horse. Congratulations Your Majesty, this not only increases the combat power by ten times, but more than ten times!"

The general was very excited, and General Wang Yan also stood up: "Your Majesty, we lost the Battle of Handan before. With these two items, we will definitely be able to fight back! Thanks to Mr. Zichu!"

"Oh?"

Qin Wangji was very interested: "Mr. Buwei sent Zi Chu's blueprint."

Lu Buwei quickly responded: "Back to the king, the drawing is not made by me, but by my wife Meng Kai."

Wang Lu was surprised and said: "When Mr. Buwei came to Qin, he didn't bring any wife with him."

When Lu Buwei fled with Ying Yiren, it was Wang Yan who commanded the Battle of Handan who escorted them back to Qin.

Recalling the situation that night, Lu Buwei laughed a few times.

"The lowly wife is from Zhao. When she left Zhao, soldiers chased her to kill her. She was afraid that Mr. Chu and I would not be able to escape, so she stayed in Zhao." Lu Buwei replied cautiously: "My wife was born in Zhao since childhood, and she has a lot of love. Based on her horse riding experience, this harness is the result of her painstaking research on horse riding because she can't bear the suffering of horses and horse riding."

In fact, Lu Buwei didn't know how his wife came up with this thing.

He thought about it, but he didn't want to understand, where did Meng Kai get his idea?Although she is from Zhao, she can barely be considered a descendant of aristocrats, and she will definitely not deal with horses on weekdays.

Lu Buwei couldn't figure it out anyway, but he had to give King Qin an explanation.

The state of Zhao is adjacent to the Xiongnu and has a lot of communication with the Hu people, which is a very good excuse.

Sure enough, King Qin also accepted Lu Buwei's explanation.

"It's from Zhao." The old king of Qin nodded in satisfaction: "But he didn't give such a thing to Zhao Wang, but sent it to Qin State. Mr. Buwei, you have found a good wife."

This can be heard both positively and backwardly.

It is said that Lu Buwei has meritorious service, but it is said that he is a businessman and his wife has simply become a "traitor".

Lu Buwei naturally chose to listen.

"Thank you for your praise." Lu Buwei said humbly: "With what your majesty said, Buwei can be considered worthy of his wife."

"That's what Mr. said."

Wang Lu laughed teasingly: "It seems that the madam has the final say at home."

When the general's words fell to the ground, Qin Tingjun laughed without malice.

Even the king of Qin on the throne laughed a few times. He waved his hand and waited for the officials to calm down: "Since this is the case, Mrs. Meng Wei has made contributions to Qin. How can she be left alone in Zhao State? Mr. Hurry up!" Find someone, bring Mrs. Meng Wei to Qin."

If Lu Buwei went to Zhao to ask for someone, King Zhao might not release him.

But when King Qin spoke, it became a state matter.In this way, Meng Wei can leave Zhao safely.

but--

Lu Buwei salutes again

"Buwei really wants to take his wife to reunite." He said: "But my wife is filial and doesn't want to part with her father. She said to Buwei in the letter that the old man is old and I am afraid that time will not be long. She wants to wait for him to come to Qin after a hundred years. Reunite with Buwei."

He is gambling.

Bet that Zhao Weizhen doesn't want to come to Qin now.

If you are willing to come, why write a letter asking for money, and then send someone to send the blueprint?It's not too late to give it when she comes to Qin by herself.

"What a filial woman."

Qin Wang praised: "Since this is the case, I have to be wronged to separate the husband and wife."

Wang Lu: "Your Majesty, don't you want to reward Mr. with some beauties and concubines, so as to make up for Mr.?"

Lu Buwei: "..."

He couldn't help but think of Zhao Weizhen's letter a few days ago saying, "I got Concubine Ji to share with her", and his face twisted subtly.

"No, no, no." Lu Buwei hastily evaded: "Madam is strong by nature, she... is very strict, Buwei doesn't want to displease Madam, this, concubine Ji will be spared!"

Wang Lu: "Oh, it's really the wife who has the final say in Mr.'s house!"

The general joked again, and everyone in Qin Ting burst into laughter again.

What else can Lu Buwei say?

If it wasn't for King Qin's instruction, Wang Lu would naturally not joke like this in Qin Ting.Lu Buwei was also happy that they teased him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Sir, if you don't like it, forget it."

The King of Qin also smiled and said, "Concubine Ji dare not accept her, so choose Ri Zhuer to bring her son Chu, and send Shu Xiu to the door. I hope that Mr. can stay in Qin for a long time, and educate my grandson Chu well."

Lu Buwei paused suddenly, then pushed his hands forward, wishing his head could be lowered below his wrists.

"Thank you Your Majesty!"

Under the long sleeves, the corners of Lu Buwei's mouth could not help but rise.

Qin Wang's words are equivalent to officially granting the status of Master Lu Buwei to Lu Buwei.

Although everyone said before that Young Master Chu worships Lu Buwei as his teacher, but he is a businessman, and everyone mentions it with contempt.And from now on, he will be the teacher appointed by King Qin.

Only Lu Buwei was appointed by the imperial court, and he was only selected as a teacher for the young master Chu.

The meaning is self-evident: the two blueprints made King Qin greatly recognize Zi Chu, a descendant who was originally inconspicuous.

He also understood how Meng Kai thought.

Lu Buwei invested in a stranger, the current son Zi Chu, to help him become the King of Qin.And Meng Kai had the same idea.

It is not enough to train a future king of Qin, but also to train his son. This kind of business can be double insurance.

Standing on top of the Qin court, thousands of miles away from Handan, but Lu Buwei feels that he and Zhao Weizhen and his wife are extremely concentric at this time.

He married the right man.

It's just that I don't know what Meng Wei will think of her leaving a "evil" name of being jealous and deceiving her husband before she came to Qin.

And Zhao Weizhen, who was far away in Handan, stood in the backyard of the restaurant and couldn't help sneezing.

Wei Xing: "Ma'am, did you catch a cold?"

Zhao Weizhen rubbed his nose: "It's okay, I guess Guizi misses me again."

Wei Xing: "..."

Then again, the drawings should have been sent to Lu Buwei.These two things are epoch-making great inventions, why did he keep silent?

Up to now, there has been no fanfare news, Zhao Weizhen actually has a vague idea in his heart: Lu Buwei has not found a way to let her go back with Xiao Yingzheng.

If one of them goes back, Zhao Weizhen is determined not to go.

As for Xiao Yingzheng...

Zhao Weizhen turned his head and realized that stirrups and horseshoes were still a good opportunity.

This is an opportunity that might make Qin Wangji realize that he still has a grandson in Zhao.

It was Lu Buwei's delay in giving information, which made it impossible for Zhao Weizhen to further judge the situation.

Guizi died in a hurry, Zhao Weizhen curled his lips.

"Forget it, leave him alone."

Zhao Weizhen walked to the earthen pot in the backyard: "Is it still not possible to make music this time?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper said helplessly, "It's still not up to Madam's standard."

Zhao Weizhen lifted the cloth on the earthen pot, and after a glance, he understood the situation.

She came today for the beans and bean paste she prepared earlier.

Making soy sauce is not as easy as steaming wine.Zhao Weizhen knows the principle of distillation. She didn't need to worry about making koji and fermenting it before. It was completely improved on the shoulders of the predecessors.

Soy sauce is different, Zhao Weizhen can only use his own memory to find out.

It failed unexpectedly the first time.

The soybean koji in the earthen jar has been dried for a month to become a soy sauce. In theory, soy sauce can be dripped out after three or four days of soaking in salt.

And actually...

This can of soy sauce has been soaking for so long, but the condition is not very good, it is sparse, not the sticky appearance in Zhao Weizhen's memory at all.

"Bring chopsticks."

"what?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Ma'am, do you really, really want to eat?"

Zhao Weizhen: "How do you know if you don't try it?"

She took the chopsticks, tapped a little on the tip of her tongue——

Ok?

Although the state is not good, but the taste is okay, with a light salty fragrance.Strictly speaking, it is not a failure.

Zhao Weizhen had an idea, put down his chopsticks, and smiled happily.

"Hurry up." She immediately got up and told Wei Xing: "Call Mr. Zheng and Mr. Dan who are still reciting, I have come up with a new dish!"

"New dish?" The shopkeeper became more energetic: "Madam, do you want to cook with this soy sauce?"

In the pre-Qin period, there was noodle sauce. Although the method is not the same as Zhao Weizhen's material, the process is the same.As long as the sauce mash is sieved and sterilized, it is a ready-made noodle sauce.

Zhao Weizhen rolled up his sleeves: "Follow me to the stove."

The country of Zhao is located in the north, and there was no heating in the pre-Qin period. Every morning when Zhao Weizhen woke up, all he could think about was the hot pot.

Although the first attempt to make soy sauce failed, the leftovers, she went to the spicy version of Doubanjiang hot pot throughout the pre-Qin period, it is not too much!
