"This place is colder than I thought it would be."

Yin Shengle paused after writing the next sentence. He bit the tip of the brush, not knowing what to write on the letter to be sent to Shouyan County.

It has been more than three months since I left the capital and came to the border.

The humanities in this world are like a mixture of the ancient society in Yin Shengle's previous life, but the geographical situation is quite different.

Although it is still the rotation of four seasons and [-] months throughout the year, in the imperial capital of Great Yin, there is continuous light rain in spring and summer, and the days in late summer and early autumn are better, the sky is clear and the temperature is right. It's just right; and at the northernmost tip of the Great Yin, on the northwest land connected to the boundless grassland, the sharp cold wind dances wildly, and it rarely stops for a whole year.

"Fortunately, the mountains and forests here are dense, otherwise my face might be roughened by the sand blown by the wind within half a month, no, seven days."

He stared at the seemingly coquettish complaint in front of him, and raised a corner of the letter paper several times, wanting to rub the entire letter and rewrite it, but he finally decided to keep it.

after all.

Acting like a baby to your lover will hurt your aura, but who stipulated that you must be like the hard-nosed hero in some novels who doesn't even blink his eyes no matter what hurts?

Anyway, no one else will see this letter.

Yin Sheng calmed down and moved his pen vigorously: "I heard from my uncle that the temperature will drop even more in ten days and a half months, but we have already repaired the kang here - I didn't do it before. Knowing that the soldiers and civilians in the north don’t use Kang, so I described it to the people in the Sizao camp. They are very efficient, and they have researched Kang in less than three days. Recently, I heard that they are tossing about floor heating. matter."

This is the northernmost territory of Great Yin. The city built with huge rock blocks has resisted the attacks from nomadic tribes on the grassland year after year.

The age of Black Rock City has long surpassed the previous and present two dynasties, and it will continue to stand forever.

"...The two craftsmen who followed this letter can build fire kangs, and can also make fire kilns for firing pottery and porcelain. Didn't you say that you led people to find suitable pottery clay in the fields of Shouyan County? Is it? If you haven’t found a suitable craftsman, just leave the two of them in Shouyan County. These two are not in the army. I bought their entire family and put the deeds under the envelope.”

During these three months, at the beginning, Yin Shengle was able to get letters from Shouyan County every two or three days. As their respective lives in the Northwest got on the right track, it gradually became Only two letters can be passed in a month.

Yin Shengle knew that Shen Hui was very busy.

He lived with Shang Yujiang in the Marshal's Mansion in Black Rock City. The cabinet in the study was full of military books. The armor hanging on the wall was no longer new. There were a few obvious knife marks on the shoulders, legs and chest. .

Yin Shengle had a pale pink scar on the side of the tiger’s mouth in his right hand, which had just scabbed. He filled the pen tip with ink and continued to write: “Everything is fine with me here. My uncle said that people in the grasslands are usually very peaceful at this time However, if the snow falls too early and the food they prepare is not enough, they will go to the borders to plunder. Recently, when it is dark, small groups of prairie people can always be found wandering outside the city wall, but Don't worry, I will guard Black Rock City tightly, and it is absolutely impossible for any prairie man to slip past my nose!"

He wrote with pride, and with a flick of his wrist, a dot of ink fell on the paper.

But Yin Shengle didn't care. Instead, he moved the letter paper full of handwriting to the side to dry, took out a new one, and continued to write vigorously.

"Speaking of the prairie people, they are actually not that scary, but their customs are too barbaric. I heard from the brothers in the camp that a few years ago, those prairie people would use the heads of captives to watch Beijing. Since my uncle came and beat them to the ground , they dare not be so presumptuous anymore, but foreigners are foreigners, no matter how docile they behave, they cannot relax their vigilance before they are thoroughly educated."

"By the way, I met Wu Yi beside Junshi Huo. He went out with the scout battalion a few months ago and only came back four days ago."

The military advisor that Shang Yujiang misses daily is Huo Shixu.

"This kid is living a good life now. The daughter-in-law he married is a very generous and quick-witted girl. I heard that he is pregnant. No wonder he doesn't want to go back to the imperial capital, but he didn't expect that I would go to the north. Come on... I had a fight with him yesterday and I won!"

Yin Shengle puffed out his chest proudly, and suddenly remembered that Shen Hui couldn't see his heroic appearance through a piece of letter paper, and suddenly became sluggish again, complaining that the ancient communication was too backward: "Speaking of it , this Junshi Huo is indeed very similar to you, Ahui. He has a leg injury and cannot walk. Unless there is something important, he rarely appears in front of everyone. I didn’t pay attention to it when I wrote you the last letter. I have seen him carefully, yesterday I beat Wu Yi, he came to give me medicine, so I can fully see his appearance."

how to say?

He began to bite his pen and think again.

When Shang Yujiang introduced everyone in the army to him, he made a special point and said that Huo Shixu was over 30 this year, but Yin Shengle saw that his temples were covered with frost and white, and his whole body was very thin, and he was tired in a wheelchair , buried in thick leather, he looks very sick and pitiful, just looking at the gray hair, he seems to be 60 or 20 years old, but if you look at his face, he seems to be in his [-]s, especially his uncle Standing next to him, one is a rough guy and the other is a weak scholar, so don't make too much difference.

And Huo Shixu's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to Shen Hui's.

Or are both of them equally bookish?

The tone of speech is exactly the same gentle and gentle.

Yin Shengle carefully wrote down these thoughts in plain Chinese, and before he knew it, he filled a large sheet of paper again. He continued to replace with new ones, and began to ask Shen Hui's living conditions from beginning to end, and told him to be in Don't begrudge firewood if you build a kang for yourself in the renovated county government.

"Porcelain and pottery from our Yin Dynasty, as well as salt and tea, are all in high demand on the grasslands!" The paper rustled, and Yin Shengle looked serious, "If you really made porcelain, thousands Don't be polite to the person from the Ministry of Industry who came to inspect the results of the Ci Kiln. Squeeze him hard and talk about it. Now in Shouyan County, nothing is as important as money. I heard that my sister found another one who concealed the number of tenant farmers last month. The aristocratic family has copied a lot, and the imperial court is not short of money now!"

After writing this, Yin Shengle involuntarily shifted his gaze to the swords and armor hanging on the wall, and stamped the brush heavily on the paper in great annoyance: "Not counting the food and grass money, it is really expensive to raise soldiers these days!"

He is still a prince now, and the salary of the prince is only half of that of the prince, which is comparable to that of the county king. The Yin Dynasty did not give too much preferential treatment to the clan, and the salary and silver distributed by the court alone are only enough for them to live a little better than ordinary people. Some, you don't have to worry about being starved to death, and at the same time, you don't restrict the children of the clan to be officials and receive two salaries.

But in the imperial capital, where every inch of land is expensive, it seems that as long as you expose your poverty, you will be a head shorter than others. If you rely on salary alone, you can't cope with large and small banquets.

Therefore, both officials and clans have other sources of income.

In response to this, the attitude of the emperor and his wife is to turn a blind eye and close one eye. As long as they do not go too far, they will acquiesce in the existence of this gray income-usually the filial piety of local officials and merchants, and there is Rent paid by tenant farmers.

Yin Shengle is still a prince, he doesn't have his own fiefdom, and he doesn't have any serious official position, if he only relies on his own salary and the pocket money stuffed by his parents and sisters——

"It's not enough for me to raise an elite team of [-] people!!!"

He used three exclamation points to express his injustice.

In this book world, literati admire very ancient poems and songs, and of course there are also popular novels and articles written in vernacular.

Yin Shengle is very satisfied that this world already has punctuation marks, otherwise he is afraid that he will fall into the abyss of entanglement in how to sentence correctly.

"So I'm currently planning to get acquainted with ordinary soldiers first, and then raise my position little by little. My uncle also agrees with this idea. At present, in the army, apart from my uncle, the military adviser, and a few generals, there are no other soldiers. People know that I am the Seventh Prince."

"I will join the army with the identity of 'Shen Qi'. If one day, Ah Hui, you meet soldiers who pass by here and rest in Shouyan County, they suddenly boast that you have a good brother who is invincible and invincible. , then don’t be surprised.”

At the front of the desk, there is a long box.

Inside is a string of wolf tooth necklaces full of barbaric atmosphere. Originally, they were just strung together by a rope made of animal skin, but now they are re-woven with a pair of skillful hands. Below the head, there is a bright red silk ribbon.

With some intention of showing off in his heart, Yin Shengle wrote quickly and wrote triumphantly: "There is also a pendant among the things sent over, which I snatched from the leader of the tribe with such a certain face. I heard that it was them. The priest there used it for a god, but we don’t believe in any grassland gods, so you can keep it as a souvenir.”

At the end of the letter, Yin Shengle did not forget to expressly express that he gave a spike necklace, and asked Shen Hui to return the gift with the letter.

"It would be great if it's something you wear next to your body."

It's so pitiful to see things and think about people, and what's even more pitiful is that I don't even have the "things" to see things and think about people. Yin Shengle put down his pen and sighed faintly. He wanted to sneak a jade pendant from Shen Hui. However, I was always caught by Shen Hui when I had a little bit of bad intentions. Let alone home base, I even kissed only one corner of my mouth...

Yin Shengle sealed the letter.

In order to avoid Shen Hui's worry, he concealed the fact that he had entered the barracks a month and a half ago and had several encounters with the prairie people.

When he left Shouyan County, he left Hele and Lianshi there so that he could take care of Shen Hui's daily life. Now he is just an ordinary soldier. He slept in the Datong bunk in the barracks.

Entrust the letter to the steward and ask him to send it out.

Yin Shengle packed his armor, hung the long knife on his waist, and took a pack of jerky from the kitchen. Imagining Shen Hui's expression when he received the wolf tooth necklace, his steps were brisk and he wished he could fly up.

And when the letter was finally delivered to Shen Hui, it was already half a month later. He had his hair tied up and wore short coarse cloth clothes that didn't match his temperament.

He took the letter and read it ten lines at a glance. The more he read, the more he frowned.

The two craftsmen who came with the letter carefully watched his face.

I saw the handsome man's brows stretched out even though his face was covered with dust, he shook his head lightly, and sighed: "...fool."

The author has something to say:

Lele: Ahui, we haven't fought a battle yet, but it's safe!This is the wolf tooth necklace I snatched from the prairie people. Do you like it?

A Hui: ...

Silently prepared the wound medicine for this little fool.

The hands of the six beauties haven't even been able to touch... Concubine Wan Gui...

I can't, I admit it.
