Passing through the station

It's not even midsummer now, so it's much earlier than the time when the Huns came to grass valley in autumn.

The corresponding deployment is not something that can be done with a few commands in a few words.The team of scouts led by Chu Hao himself was just one of the teams sent out.Yesterday he was only reporting the news to his superiors as the team leader, but today he must participate in the pre-war arrangements as Qianhu.

In the General's Mansion, apart from the powerful figures in Shunyang Pass, several Beijing officials are also there.Of course, they are only as observers and do not need to express their opinions.This time, the Beijing officials, mainly from the Ministry of Industry, aside from a certain Zhang surnamed "imperial relatives and national relatives", still have this self-knowledge.

Besides, the relationship between Beijing, China and Pingxi Palace is delicate, and Shunyang Pass is to the west. Now that Pingxi's son is sitting here, how can it be their turn to chatter?General Cao can arrange a seat for them here, it is to give them face, they will not give face shameless.Thinking of Ruan Bai, whom the prince regards as his own brother, their swollen faces are still hurting, and they don't want to poke a bigger ant's nest.

The simple map was spread out, and General Cao personally marked the information collected so far one by one: "A hundred cavalry here, five hundred cavalry here, three hundred cavalry here... Within three hundred miles, the Hun cavalry has now assembled nearly Six thousand. According to their usual practice, within half a month, there will be thirty thousand!"

Several Beijing officials stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the final figures.The mouth moved, but in the end no sound came out.According to their thinking, it is only [-] now, how can it become [-] in half a month?

The expressions of the Beijing officials fell into the eyes of the generals at Shunyang Pass, and a few outspoken ones immediately sneered, but did not speak. At this time, they were still listening to General Cao, and it was not their turn to intervene.

Preparing for a war is a very tedious task.Today's meeting is just a pre-war mobilization for the generals, but it is already the beginning of a war for the reserve military supplies.

Troops and horses move ahead without food and forage.

For food and grass, Shunyang Pass has never been relaxed at any time.

Some who know a little about common affairs can find ways to raise money and food by themselves, such as Chu Hao; but most of the frontier generals are real warriors, and they don't know anything about common affairs, and some ignorant ones still do less to drink soldiers' blood.General Cao is in charge of Shunyang Pass. This situation can only be said to be a relatively minor incident. As for other places, that's okay.

General Cao thought of what happened last year, and a look of sternness flashed across his face: "Mu Qianhu, you lead the troops to watch Gaotouguan Wunanguan line for me! If this year is like last year...I don't believe that he is the king of Yueze. An iron neck!"

There are many princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as King Pingxi who holds real power side by side; there is also King Yueze who is true, unbelievable, and relatives of the emperor!

King Yueze is the youngest son of the former emperor, with a timid and cowardly character. His mother was originally a court lady; he was not born long before the former emperor passed away, and now he ascends the throne.When he became an adult, he was asked to choose a fief today, and he chose Gaotouguan and Wunanguan to take root, wishing to be as far away from the capital as possible.

These are two small passes, not too far from Shunyang Pass, but compared with the slightly barren Shunyang Pass, Gaotou Pass and Wunan Pass are considered rich in the northwest. One of the top picks on the grab list.

However, after this King Yueze came, he never really encountered the Huns.Firstly, his fief is still some distance away from the pass; secondly, every time this timid prince hears the news, he will quickly run to the capital to "visit the imperial brother".Of course it is not acceptable for the prince to go to Beijing casually, but when this one goes to Beijing, besides the whole family, he will bring a few servants along with him...

Unfortunately, when the Huns came last year, this man happened to be ill.The attack of the Huns was unprecedentedly ferocious. When this man heard the news, he was so frightened that he almost died of illness. He stopped the reinforcements at the two passes and asked them to guard him...

Gaotouguan and Wunanguan were at stake, and General Cao had to go there himself to recover from the decline; but the vicinity of Shunyang suffered heavy losses...

Tang Yan and the others' eyelids twitched. If they hadn't heard it here, they would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as King Yue Ze.They are in the capital, and they are not military officers, so they don't know how to get to the bottom of battle reports and the like.Now even if they hear General Cao's curse (?) on King Yueze, they can only go in the left ear and out the right ear.

Chu Hao rubbed a golden claw hook, without raising his head, he said: "A gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a prince? Why don't you send him a message as soon as possible." Isn't love sick?When the guy arrives in the capital, let him get sick again, and take advantage of the trend to recuperate in the capital. If he doesn't get sick for [-] to [-] years, how can he be worthy of the soldiers and people who died at the border?

If he didn't mention it today, he almost forgot that there was such a person.In the words of his second brother, he is not afraid of opponents like gods, but opponents like pigs.King Yueze is obviously the pig teammate.

General Cao nodded: "Chu Qianhu is right, let's do it immediately!" But they can't disclose the information to King Yueze by themselves, otherwise they will leak the military information in a serious way.Of course, there is no need for them to make big moves. King Yue Ze has always been very accurate in capturing dangers. I am afraid that after this period of time, this man has become a little panicked.They just need one more push...

Mu Feiwen grinned and pleaded with General Cao: "Let's leave this matter to the future, right?" It's not easy to beat the Huns, but how hard can it be to frighten King Yueze?It's okay to take the men and horses to run around the palace twice, and take care of the people who won't see King Yueze the next day.The soldiers under them may have run away!

"Good!" General Cao was in a good mood.

Tang Yan and the others were in a mood... they didn't know what to say anymore, they could only sit on their seats and watch their hearts.How could they be so stupid, thinking that having a place here today is a respect for themselves?This is clearly an understatement!

Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, or you will be packed up to the capital immediately - that's what Lao Cao meant.Oh, by the way, they still have a brother-in-law of Qianyi Cheng, who will definitely be able to guarantee that they will be sent out of Shunyang Pass as soon as possible, guaranteed, certified, safe, and safe!

But they are still waiting for the results of the inspection and acceptance, and they are still waiting to be scolded by Ruan Yicheng!

Under the care of Xiao Xizi, the Beijing officials returned to the station in a daze, and asked, "Is Lord Ruan free today?"

"Hold on a moment, my lord, I'll go and ask you now." The postman who guarded the gate saluted and ran away.

When Tang Yan and the others entered the post house, the post house owner took them into the room immediately, and then brought clean water and towels so that they could wash their hands and face briefly; after washing, there was another cup of tea and a plate of dried tofu As a snack.

When all these were used up, the postman took them to the hall, and Ruan Bai was already there.

"I heard that some adults are looking for an official, what's the reason?" Ruan Bai's white and green face showed a harmless look to humans and animals.

Tang Yan and the others hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Don't dare. We talked with Lord Ruan the other day, and felt that we were lacking in talent and learning, and hoped that Lord Ruan would give us some advice."

Compared with what I said before asking for advice, today Tang Yan and others are really humble.You must have a scholarly attitude.Although the person in front of me is a little younger and has a bad attitude, but he is willing to teach others and has real skills. What's wrong with lowering their attitude?

Ruan Bai hurriedly replied: "Sirs, you are downcast. You were reckless yesterday, and you have already been reprimanded by your elder brother afterward. The kid is invisible and has offended everyone. Please forgive me."

Children are still very polite!Who doesn't have a youthful time?If you know your mistakes, you can correct them!

A few people came and went to each other politely, the atmosphere was immediately harmonious, and then the topic was easy to start, for example, the confusion of teenagers and so on.

The young man's attitude is very humble: "The kid happens to have a problem, and it just so happens that several adults are..."

The attitude of the adults is also very kind: "You might as well talk about it, let's discuss it together."

Ruan Bai's question is actually simple, it is a pressurized well.He only thought about the washing machine yesterday, only to find that washing those bed sheets was not the most troublesome thing, but the most time-consuming and laborious thing was fetching water.

He didn't feel anything when he carried a bucket or two of water.But after the number increased, it was different.There are no plastic buckets these days, and the buckets are very solid wooden buckets. A bucket alone is quite heavy, plus the weight of water... His arms are sore today.

The principle of water pressure is very simple to Ruan Bai, but now he has to give Tang Yan and other officials of the Ministry of Industry a popular science on the pressure.

The problem with Nguyen Bai is that the seal cannot be guaranteed.A problem that can be solved by a rubber gasket in modern times almost made him helpless in Da Zhou...

Tang Yan: "Pour some water..."

Ruan Bai: "Ah!"

Tang Yan was made a little uneasy by Ruan Bai's voice: "Well... I think the way to store sauerkraut in my wife is to sprinkle a little water on the mouth of the lid."

So, the sauerkraut has been sold to the capital by Hu merchants?Ruan Bai was distracted for a moment, then came to his senses, and immediately turned his attention back to the pressurized well, and slapped the table: "The sealing problem is solved, then there is no problem."

This time it was Tang Yan and the others' turn to understand.Isn't this just the beginning?Why did it suddenly disappear?

Tang Yan and the others suddenly became ashamed, followed Ruan Bai, whose face was glowing with excitement, to the workshop reserved at the market, and brazenly beat them up.Not to mention, although these officials from the Ministry of Industry are not as skilled as real craftsmen, they all have their own skills.

Soon, a wooden pressurized well was ready.The well cover was pressed on the wellhead, and after a few adjustments, the rod was pressed a few times, and the water came out rushing.The Beijing officials thought it was amazing, and several of them were grown up, so they gathered around and played games for a while.

As a result, Ruan Bai's water tank was easily filled.

"It should be higher and connect a pipe directly to the water tank..."

Tang Yan: Do you dare to speak louder? !

Well, it seems that tap water cannot be realized. Now limited by the material, the water flow is not very strong.Ruan Bai thought for a while: "It should be better to get an iron one."

"Iron rusts easily."

"Huh? Is there no anti-rust iron?" Stainless steel or something.

Tang Yan: "...oiled." Weapons are kept with tung oil, but if a manhole cover is made of iron, how can it be oiled?

Ruan Bai: "Put a layer of paint on the outside, that's it!" Anyway, it's okay if the pressurized well is a little rusty.

A scientific and technological achievement was made in one day. Although Tang Yan and the others felt a little aggrieved in their hearts, they were still mostly happy. Looking back before going to bed, this pressurized water well is actually a water well that saves effort...it doesn't seem to be a big deal. use.

When Chu Hao returned home, he found that the well platform had changed. After learning about its usefulness, he glared at Ruan Bai: "Why are you so lazy?" Isn't it just hanging a few buckets of water?

Ruan Bai was dissatisfied: "That hardworking person hasten to do the housework!" Believe it or not, he will get the washing machine out sooner or later? !Another sweeping robot or something...
