Chapter 47 Comments

In the past twenty years of the empire, the horses have always attached great importance to horses. From the high mountain pastures on Tai Island, the peninsula pastures in Nanhua, to Jeju and Yongning and other large horse farms, it provides the imperial army with war horses that are far taller than their opponents, and also provides a large number of strong horses for agriculture and commerce.

As the army swept across the southern part of the desert, the targets of the Qing Dynasty turned to the northern part of the desert, it was not enough to just cultivate war horses. In fact, not to mention the northern part of the desert, the Yongning horses and Jeju horses of the army were somewhat unable to adapt to the southern part of the desert. Perhaps they had explosive power, speed and power far beyond Mongolian horses, but they were much inferior in terms of long-distance marching and rough feeding resistance. Although these empire famous horses also had Mongolian horse blood, due to the high-quality requirements of the army, they were bred more and more towards pure-blooded Western horses. When the combat area needed to cross the desert and reach the cold and vast northern part of the desert, these famous horses were even more unacceptable. Therefore, the army needed to adapt to war horses on the battlefield.

The army uses horses not only for riding, but also for slow horses for logistics and supplies. Obviously, there is nothing more suitable between the south and north of the desert than the camels of the desert. The distance and terrain limit the four-wheeled carriages that the army relies on for a living. Camels are unique in terms of their characteristics such as carrying capacity and harsh environment resistance.

It is also because of this that when the south of the desert was slightly calmer, Ma Zheng flourished, and all kinds of official pastures emerged from Hetao to Baishan and Hei River, and camels were also counted as Ma Zheng. It was only more handled by the two major appeasement zones in Yunzhong and Yanbei, and the leader was the Lifanyuan under Li Decan.

Yongshou Palace.

"Why didn't I see the third brother? Didn't he just have half a lesson today?" Li Mingxun was having lunch and didn't see his younger son, but he was a little worried.

"I was so happy to play in the children's fun room, but I refused to come out. I said I was waiting for you to finish your meal and bring the food to feed him." Li Xiangjun said with a smile.

The so-called Tongqu House was specially built by Li Mingxun for two underage sons, but the prince has only been there once or twice and played with his younger brother for a while. However, Li Junwei likes to play in it. The Tongqu House is covered with cotton mattresses on all sides, and the same is true for some large toys. Li Junwei will not hurt himself no matter how he plays. In fact, it is a children's entertainment city. Many of the toys were designed by Li Mingxun himself, such as slides, seesaws, turntables and other objects. In this era, it also makes people feel that they are all wonderful ideas. Li Junwei only goes to kindergarten now, so he has plenty of time to play.

All kinds of schools are like the government offices. Because the empire does not accept such units for a week and a week, it has set a system for 30 months. For kindergarten children like Li Junwei, they only take six and a half days of courses for one ten days, while formal students in elementary schools like Li Junhua have seven days of courses every ten days.

"Okay, after I finish eating, I'll go play with him for a while." Li Mingxun took the soup from Li Xiangjun's hand and asked again: "The third brother came to make a fuss this morning and said it was not fun at home, but it was fun to go to school. It seems that the third brother also loves to study."

Li Xiangjun smiled, "He doesn't like studying, he just likes lively. There are many people in the palace, but none of them are about his age. Since he went to kindergarten and saw those many children, he has long been overjoyed."

Li Mingxun was quite helpless. In the previous dynasty, the emperor's son grew up with eunuchs of the same age. Now there are no eunuchs in the palace, so naturally there are no children of the same age. Fortunately, his son has school to go to and no longer has to be lonely in childhood.

The two chatted without a word, but Li Xiangjun always looked at Li Mingxun with a smile on her lips. She knew that Li Mingxun wanted to ask about fur, otherwise she would not have come wearing that hat, but she always didn't want to speak. After chatting for a while, seeing that Li Mingxun could not make up her mind, Li Xiangjun said: "Sometimes ago, the nobles and officials in the capital ordered their wives to walk around the palace. The sable fur brought by the wife of the president of the Lifanyuan was said to be filial to the ministers, and some wives of the ministers chatted about fur outside the pass. I knew that their intention was not simple, but I didn't say it clearly, so I accepted these gifts according to their wishes."

"What are they saying?" Li Mingxun asked with a smile.

Li Xiangjun said: "At the beginning, it was a family matter, and it was nothing. Later, I talked about the Rakshasa people, saying that good furs are all on the Rakshasa people's side. I also said that the fur outside the pass is getting worse day by day. If the Rakshasa people are allowed to occupy a good place, there will be no good fur in the future. After hearing these words, I feel that something is wrong. These people are afraid that they will have the idea of ​​beating me."

Li Mingxun said: "You are thinking well. The merchants and gentlemen outside the pass are planning to declare war on Rakshasa. You should not get involved in these things in the future. Those who are malicious should also knock on them."

"Yes, I told them too, this is not something women should get involved with." Li Xiangjun said with a smile.

The relationship between the two is inherently harmonious, and Li Xiangjun has no intention of involving state affairs. She is already very satisfied with Li Mingxun's attitude of wanting to ask herself but being embarrassed to speak. The two of them talked for a while and waited for the small kitchen to deliver the food to Li Junwei. Li Mingxun carried it in his hand and went to the Tongqu House together.

"The Empress is going to Changping tomorrow. Junwei doesn't know why he heard it, and he is also making noises about going there." Li Xiangjun said with a little headache.

Li Mingxun waved his hand: "What's the third brother going to get involved? He is ignorant and it's cold. How can I go to Changping? Don't worry, I'll just say he's the only one later. A few days ago, the sled dogs offered from Oroqen, Heilongjiang Appeasement Zone arrived. I have asked someone to make a sled. I will take my third brother to ski tomorrow, so he will naturally not get involved in this matter."

Two days later, Changping War Criminals Management Office.

Zhu Yushu looked at her brother who had changed her appearance, her eyes were red and she almost burst into tears. Zhu Youlang was also very excited. He was looking forward to it too much and saw her sister who had not seen for many years, so he couldn't help himself. Zhu Yushu pulled Li Junhua who was following her and said, "Hurry up, I'll give a gift to my uncle."

Zhu Youlang also knew that Li Junhua was now the crown prince of the new dynasty, so he hurriedly stopped him: "I dare not, I dare not."

The three of them were intimate for a while. Zhu Youlang was already wearing warm clothes. The temperature in the reception room was high. He felt that his head was hot and he couldn't help but take off his hat. Zhu Yushu looked at the bald head and smiled: "Brother is not too ugly."

"Oh, the prisoner at the stairs was sentenced to shave his hair, and he had no choice but to say. " Zhu Youlang touched his head and couldn't help but say.

"Uncle, what's the saying? Although my body and hair are my parents, shaving my hair in the new dynasty is not the evil rule of the Qing Dynasty. Look, I've also shaved my hair." Li Junhua took off his little hat and exposed his hair that was only two inches shorter, with shorter sides. He was a handsome boy, and his hairstyle looked even more capable.

Zhu Youlang was amazed at it, walked over and took a look, and asked, "Are you who made some mistakes?"

Li Junhua said: "This is called revival head. The male classmates in our school all have this hairstyle. If they are not like this, they can't go to school to study. Although it is a little short, it is very convenient to take care of. You can learn more and have more time to learn and play. This hairstyle comes from the army. Shaving this hairstyle means shaving your hair to show your ambitions, allowing Chinese students to learn for the revival of my country."

"Junhua is not only a handsome young man, but also a phoenix among people. When my uncle was as old as you, he knew the truth and learned less than his knowledge as much as you." Zhu Youlang said with emotion.

Seeing that Zhu Youlang's spreading hands were very rough, Zhu Yushu asked, "Brother is suffering here?"

Zhu Youlang's eyes were lonely and said, "It's not as good as being at ease in the past. But if you suffer, there is no way to talk about it. In the past few months, you have transformed and studied like others and did the same work. No one bullied me... But, sister, the life here is too closely arranged, with only one hour of free time every day, and only one day can control it. You also know that my brother is fond of books as his life. Although he was made by others in the past, he didn't feel anything with books. Now he is always empty. Can you tell the people here, don't let my brother learn? My brother doesn't like reading newspapers, nor do he likes to learn laws and calculating. He just wants to read books quietly. As long as he can read books, it doesn't matter if he can let his brother read books, it doesn't matter."

"Why are brothers so confused?" Zhu Yushu said anxiously: "Do you know that the emperor arranged for learning and transformation to give his brother a way out for his old ministers in the previous dynasty, like the powerful and nobles of the Qing Dynasty. If the transformation is good, the brother may not have not come out in the future. He will definitely have a chance. The brother is in his prime, and the ones who have come out have time to read books. Why fight for this time? If everything goes well, how can he let you out?"

Zhu Youlang lowered his head: "Even if you are studying, you should learn some of the words of saints. Watch the things written by merchants and common people all day long. Is it considered learning that those who are rebellious?"

Zhu Yushu could no longer persuade her. She knew that her brother had received royal teaching since childhood and learned the words of saints. For more than 40 years, she had already soaked in her bones. Not to mention the middle-aged man in front of her, even her son, she had learned more Confucianism and Taoism in the base camp and had never changed for a while. She was just glad that she did not let her son become a little guardian, but her brother had been guardian for decades.

"Brother, although my sister is the queen, she cannot interfere in government affairs and state affairs. The rules and regulations of the management office were also formulated by the emperor. Just follow it. My sister will not harm you, right? My sister cannot seek privileges for you, and I cannot change the rules here. Don't think about this. But if you have any material requirements in life, you can mention it. If you can help you, my sister will naturally not help." Zhu Yushu could only tell the truth. As he was talking, the female officials had already delivered the meal.

The ingredients of this dish were prepared in Beijing. When they arrived in Changping, they made it with the kitchen here. At this moment, they brought it up. The rich aroma made Zhu Youlang interested. As soon as he started, he picked up two pieces of chicken legs and stuffed them directly into his mouth. He ignored the rules and demeanor he had developed for many years. Zhu Yushu was stunned when she saw that she wanted to eat some with her, but when she saw Zhu Youlang eating her head and stuffed the fat meat that she had never touched in the past, she was naturally unhappy and said to the female official next to her: "Call the manager here."

Soon, Zhang Wanli arrived at the reception room. After the salute, Zhu Yushu pointed at Zhu Youlang who was eating and drinking and blaming, "The emperor has given you the important task of transforming war criminals. Is this how you treat war criminals? Zhang Xun."

Zhang Wanli said: "Dare you dare to ask the Queen, is there anything wrong with us?"

"Does your management office have a low salary or are they deducted food? Why did my brother eat so much when he sees the meat?"

Zhang Wanli looked at the dishes on the table and it was really rich. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He smiled and said, "Touch, don't talk about Zhu Youlang, even if anyone in the management office sits here for dinner, including the director and me, it is like this. Report to the Empress, the food standards of the Changping War Criminal Management Office are based on the standards of the Imperial Army's A-level Army. In addition to breakfast, there are meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner. Because they are in the north and Beijing and Tianjin are not long ago, there are fewer pork and chicken, but there is never a shortage of mutton. Such standards can be achieved by the Empire, and it must be officials and merchants who have the opportunity to enjoy it. The people detained here are war criminals. According to these standards, they are already preferential treatment. How can the treatment be too low? As for the deduction, the management office has accounts to check. All the treatment is also published. The Empress can also send people to check it out."

After hearing this, Zhu Yushu didn't know what to say. Then Zhang Wanli got a book of slap and said, "This is the daily physical examination form for war criminals. The Queen can take a look. They weigh their weight every half month and enter the management. Therefore, more than 90% of war criminals, including Zhu Youlang, have increased by more than 90% of war criminals. Zhu Youlang even grew nine pounds in two and a half months. It can be seen that he lives in the management office well."

After taking the Bozi, he looked at him and found that after each weighing, Zhu Youlang's autograph was signed by Zhu Youlang, so he could not make a false statement. Zhu Yushu's face changed slightly and said, "Director Zhang's work is very meticulous."

"If this were not the case, how could you be worthy of Your Majesty's promotion?" Zhang Wanli said respectfully without any arrogant look.

Zhu Yushu had a more difficult attack, so she pointed to the chair beside her: "Sit down."

Zhang Wanli sat down and Zhu Yushu said, "I am very concerned about the situation here. I have heard from my brother that I have said a little, and I want to mention some of my opinions."

"I listen to you with great sincerity. Anyone who does not break the rules should obey you. If you cannot make a decision, you should report to the emperor and seek a decision." Zhang Wanli said.

Zhu Yushu knew that this was reminding herself not to make random conditions, otherwise she would write to the emperor and not read it. She smiled and said, "Of course it is your opinion that you can make decisions. I heard from my brother that you require war criminals to name each other to show equality. This book is nothing, but China is a country of etiquette and a place of gentleness. Isn't it against imperial education if you let these scholars call each other's names?"
