Dress to be a celebrity

When Huan Ling left the customs, he would definitely not be able to come back without recruiting a tribe.Song Shi checked the area of ​​Inner Mongolia, which is 118 million square kilometers in length and width, which is nearly one-ninth of the national area he is familiar with.

What is the concept of one-ninth?

He traveled more than [-] miles from Beijing to Hanzhong, and it took him three months to take up his post. From Dabian to the north of Inner Mongolia, he had to go a few hundred miles further, and it took half a year to go back and forth!

What if they still go to Mongolia?

What if there is still Russia?

What if I accidentally go to Europe?

Maybe I can bring a few more artists here, at least to improve the current painting method that only pays attention to the spirit and not the shape, so that people who draw on the arrest warrants in various prefectures can recognize themselves, and it is convenient to catch thieves.In case there are some famous scientists now, it would be better to bring back a few more. They can speak a few words in any foreign language they learn to travel, and they can communicate while learning.

As long as you don't speak Latin-even if you speak modern Italian, he can say "Welcome to the Great Zheng Dynasty".

Cough, it's getting too far.In short, this trip has traveled thousands of miles, I am afraid that I will have to confess to the grassland this winter, and I have to prepare enough food and clothing by myself.He even wants to go to northern Shaanxi to see the construction of oilfields and the progress of the petrochemical industry. There is also the Loess Plateau there. I am afraid it will not be any warmer than the grasslands, so he himself has to prepare cold clothes.

Song Shixian packed a full set of pure wool sweaters, fur-lined army coats, real duck and goose down jackets and other warm-proof clothes and boots and hats accessories from the Huanling courtyard.I went back to the magistrate's yard and looked through it. There were still a few sets that were ready and left there unused, so I simply brought them here.

Huan Ling saw that the clothes had already been filled with two rattan boxes, so he advised him: "You don't need to bring so much. Although we are going to the grassland, there are Shun Shihou princes to lead the way, and we will soon go to the places where there are aquatic plants. .If your clothes get dirty on the road, just bring some soap and wash them off.”

In Song Shi's mind, the image of him squatting beside the icy lake, washing his clothes against the cold wind in the wilderness instantly appeared in Song Shi's mind.

Although he knew intellectually that the imperial censor of Qiandu couldn't wash his own clothes, when he thought of the icy lake on the grassland, he felt chills.He couldn't help touching Huan Ling's slender and warm hands, and then squeezed his fingers together and said: "The water in the grassland is cold. You have to boil hot water when you wash up in the morning and evening. Pour the boiled water into a thermos, and drink it normally. Wash your hands with hot water."

The thermos they use is plated with tin amalgam, which is expensive and difficult to make. I cherish it when I use it myself, but it is worth nothing compared to my hands.

Bring a few more thermos bottles as spares, and replace them with new ones if they are broken.Don't think it troublesome to ride a horse usually, wear gloves to prevent the cold wind from blowing into your bones.Bring a few more briquette stoves in the convoy, and get some good coal to make briquettes at the same time. When you use coal stoves to heat hot water and cook, you can't see any fire, and it doesn't show the mountains and dews.

"Don't always use cold water because you are young, beware of arthritis when you are old."

His hand gradually moved along Huan Ling's arm to his face, and his fingertips stroked the smooth and supple skin, and his heart became more and more sentimental—it has not been a year since the last time he visited Jiubian, and he just raised a smooth and fair baby Face, once I go to the grassland, I don't know what to look like.

It would be fine if he looked ordinary, but what a pity for such a pretty face to be turned into black and red by the strong wind and ultraviolet rays on the grassland?

Song Shi gritted his teeth in sadness.

Huan Ling couldn't see his expression, so he put his hand to his lips, fed it gently, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Aren't you going to bite your teeth? If you want to bite me, bite me, but don't The bite is too heavy, and I have to point to it to control the rein when riding a horse."

He couldn't help laughing when he said that, Song Shiben was feeling sad for his face, and seeing his smile couldn't stop sour, he pushed his hand away, and said with a smile: "Forget it, anyway, I It's not a face control, at worst, I'll put on a mask for you when I come back."

Huan Ling recalled the last time he came back from a border patrol with the king of Zhou, and asked Song Shi to touch the bletilla striata and Baizhi for a long time, so he couldn't help touching his face, and said consciously: "I'll take a few scarves, and I will cover my face on the way. It’s not easy to tan.”

Song Shi nodded with satisfaction: "A gauze scarf is also fine, or you don't need a curtain, it is more breathable than a gauze scarf, and a straw hat with a brim on top can also shade you."

Or a scarf.

Curtain fences are mostly worn by women, but gauze scarves have been popularized in Hanzhong, and celebrities from all over the world have learned to wear them. They wear gauze scarves to go out and look more radiant.

Song Shi heard Huan Ling praise him for his good aesthetics, and the scarves he made became popular among celebrities, so he didn't know whether he should be proud, or should be a little humble.He thought about it for a while, and finally felt that he was usually modest and modest, but now that there is no one at home, he should boast and boast:

"The main reason is that we are good-looking, and the scarves make Tsinghua look so popular that other people can learn to wear them."

Although this scarf is known outside the name as "Three Yuan Scarf", "Servant Scarf" and "Yushi Scarf", its root is that a three-yuan leader, a right servant and governor of the Ministry of War, and a Yushi are all loved. With this scarf, others want to be more literary and official, but it doesn't prevent Huan Ling from agreeing with him: "We are officials who are born from time to time. They look good, and naturally they look good in everything they wear. Others have to learn from it when they see it." .”

Not to mention wearing a gauze scarf, even wearing the tight shorts without collars and sleeves of the later generations would look very good-looking in the eyes of an "ancient man".

Song Shi secretly took advantage of his kind words, and found some summer scarves from his anteroom, so they could cover them up when they went out.

The more he packed, the more he packed, the more he felt that it wasn't enough——

If you don't go abroad, you can just prepare clothes and medicines, but now you have to go deep into the grassland. You don't know who you will meet on the way, and you don't know whether the tribe you are going to recruit is willing to join.

The journey was long and wide, not only in bad conditions, but also in crises along the way.Unlike in the past in China, regardless of whether the place is rich or poor, whether there are enemies outside the border city or not, he is at least an angel on patrol, and the local officials and military towns have to cooperate with hospitality and protection. This time they can only look at the people they bring.

This trip is escorted by the King of Zhou, so you are welcome, ask for more chain mail, leather armor, and a good gun with a scope, and then use Hanzhongwei who will use flying thunder cannons and train them in their factory. Take the disciplined good soldiers and prepare more chariots and horses for them.

The car is still a car with steel wheel tape. Now the weather is not too hot, and there are no nails on the grassland. You can bring a few pneumatic tires.The ground on the prairie is soft. Using this kind of hollow rubber tire is easier to walk than iron-clad wood tires, and it is not easy to get stuck in the soft mud and cannot be pushed out.

On this trip to the northeast, I heard that Mr. Yang has also built some hard cement roads along the way, and rubber tires are also suitable.Put some soft rubber horseshoes on. If the horse runs too hard on the concrete road, it will hurt the bones. It would be better to cushion it with rubber pads.

Arrived in Liangcheng...

Hey, there are good Mongolian horses in Liangcheng!

Although the herdsmen's horse area over there was enclosed by the local military town, they were sent out to appease them under the emperor's order, and it was not a big deal to ask the local commander for a few horses.

Of course, those horses are still the private property of the herdsmen, and the Dazheng Mission must not take the herdsmen’s things for nothing, so they can bring some silver coins, silk, silk and iron in exchange...

By the way, it might still be slavery over there, and everything belonging to the tribe belongs to the patriarch.You should bring some gold and silver jewelry, enamelware, clocks and other things that nobles like, and exchange them for Mongolian horses.Mongolian horses are light and healthy, hard-working and able to know their way on the grassland, so it is convenient to take them with them from Hanzhong.

When he was an official in the Song Dynasty, he had experience in entertaining his superiors, so he arranged a valuable gift list; Huan Ling, who had a lot of experience in going to the grassroots level, helped him add things: "I want some good fabrics, silk, wine vessels, and Fine rice and white noodles, iron pots and porcelain bowls, knives, scissors and needles, women's makeup powder, hair oil, etc. I have seen wild markets where border residents exchange things with herdsmen outside the border. They do not produce these things, and the herdsmen compete for Let’s exchange these with cattle, horses and wild game.”

Those captive chieftains may have high vision and want Xu Feng and Da Zheng to help them seize some power, but the wives, concubines and slaves around them can be moved by these little things.

Buy buy buy!Get ready!

Anyway, the Ministry of Households promised reimbursement, and if he really can't report it, he will just keep the money on the back of the house when he pays the grain tax next year!

Song Zhifu was rich and powerful, so he went to the Hanzhong Industrial Park to order carts, rubber palm pads, medical grade potassium permanganate, military biscuits, canned food, and the market to order food and cloth.

Huan Ling personally went to the Hanzhong Guards to select elite soldiers, and asked the king of Zhou for the best armor and armor, and filled the convoy for half a street, followed by horsemen on both sides, and headed for the northeast in a mighty way.

This time, Zhou Wang and his wife were no longer princes, but sent them all the way to the city gate as relatives.The officials of Hanzhong Mansion and Nanzheng County also followed, and sent another ten miles after King Zhou returned to the mansion.

Only Song Shi did not follow among these officials and bid farewell to him outside the long pavilion, but walked side by side with him for the first time.

From Huan Ling leaving Wuping to attend the wedding of the king of Zhou, to going to Beijing for the exam by boat alone in Song Dynasty, to Huan Ling riding alone to inspect the nine borders, and then the two of them went to Hanzhong... So many times in the past are separate After spending a long time on the road, this time I was able to travel more than a thousand miles. If you don’t count the angels and soldiers around you, it would be a short honeymoon trip.

And the distance is short, and the time is not short.

From Hanzhong to the north, passing through Fengxiang, Qingyang, and Yan'an, from the basin to the plain to the Loess Plateau, you can see all kinds of scenery along the way.When I first went out, I mostly saw Warli in the Hanzhong Basin. On both sides of the road were golden rice fields that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were short-clothes and rough brown people walking through the fields, but there were smiles, but no sad farmers.

Their team is both officials and soldiers, and the farmers are not afraid of them, and there are children screaming at the official road from a distance.

Sun Yuanwailang and his colleagues drank tea and ate deliciously roasted fish slices in the car, and sighed through the car window: "The people in the countryside are really ignorant and fearless. When we were in Beijing, if there were two Officials of the fourth rank wear bright red robes, ride such tall horses, and are followed by soldiers, and the passing people are too late to avoid the road."

A facilitator said: "That is, children don't obey. I see those peasants who are farming..."

Before the words fell, there was a series of shouts.It was no longer the sharp tones of children, but men and women, old and young, all mixed together, and they couldn't hear what they were calling.

Why, why are these people screaming louder?He dared to make noise in front of the officers and soldiers. Could it be that he met a thief?

They even put down the melon seeds they were smashing, the fish fillets they were tearing, the tea they were drinking, and the plate of walnuts. They went to the window to look, only to see that the peasants in the field put down their livelihoods and waved and shouted desperately towards the road.

Gradually the hand waved neatly, and the voice gradually became clearer, and the words "Master" and "Master Wang" could barely be heard.Wanting to listen carefully, there was a clear "Master Wang must win" from the front of the car——

Once this sentence came out, it never stopped.Another voice that was also close at hand immediately rang out, blended with the previous voice, and exhaled more clearly and forcefully: "Master Wang must win!"

The voices of farmers beside the road also merged together with their rhythm, and with the rhythm, they shouted: "Master Wang will win! My lord is mighty!"

Sun Yuan, who was sitting at the top, lifted the curtain, and the weak civil servants in the car burst out with astonishing strength, and quickly squeezed to the door, looking at the two figures in front of the car——

Two bright red official robes embroidered with clouds and geese are shining brightly in the sun.Both held the reins in one hand, waved the other hand to the side of the road, looked left and right from time to time, with vivid smiles on their faces, as if they were not facing the common people who were digging in the soil, but the talents of the museum bureau and the museum building. beautiful woman.

Even talented scholars and beauties in Beijing cannot open up this fertile field for thousands of miles, grow tens of thousands of catties of grain, and support the local people and soldiers who go to war.These seemingly most ordinary farmers are the foundation of the court and the country.

Song Shi quietly stretched his right hand into the air, squeezed Huan Ling's hand under the cover of his sleeve, and waved his left hand vigorously in line with the shout of "Master Wang will win" below, and also joined in the enthusiastic cheers.
