Cub Nursery

Chapter 227

In any case, the envoys of the demon country have left, and Yan Xun has successfully rented a mountain, which is something to be celebrated.

These Taoist soldiers who followed Ruan Duanxi had no credit but hard work, and now they have built so many concrete buildings in the border town, and they are also riding horses full of energy, and they left the border town at the end.

Otter felt like he was returning home after he had finished his clothes. He had already taken care of his horse, and even carefully arranged the cotton clothes on his body. In the bag on his back were the money and braised pork from Yan Xun. Canned Meat followed behind with his head held high, wishing he could fly back to the capital immediately.

The route was still the same as when he came, and when he arrived near Mie Yao City, Yan Xun ordered to set up camp and rest for a while.

"Why don't you leave?" Ruan Duanxi asked hurriedly with cold sweat breaking out again.

"Master Yan said that it's freezing cold, and it's too cold to drink cold water, so I need to boil some hot water for drinking." You Daobing said.

A quick-moving Taoist soldier took out a small iron pot, quickly built a fire, and looked into the distance expectantly.

After a while, the snake-bodied cubs rushed over, filled the small iron pots with water, and swam away quickly.

Ruan Duanxi looked left and right, and found that everyone obeyed Yan Xun's orders, and some Taoist soldiers even offered money to buy canned braised pork from other Taoist soldiers, and some Taoist soldiers were lucky enough to buy it. Boil the broth with gusto.

"I have to rest." Ruan Duanxi shrank back into the tent, his body trembling constantly.

At this time, quite a few people came out from the Demon Extinguishing City, huddled together, and approached here, pulling heavy and huge wooden boxes one by one.

The scouts found these people and hurried back to report to Yan Xun.

"Let them come." Yan Xun said calmly, "Go and invite Master Ruan."

Ruan Duanxi who was huddled in the tent was dug out by the Taoist soldiers, and he was carried in front of Yan Xun, with opened wooden boxes one by one, which were full of white silver, golden gold, and countless pearls and agates.

These gold, silver and jewels belong to him.

However, Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to look at it, let alone think about it, he pretended to stare at Yan Xun, and didn't speak, afraid that he would reveal something if he opened his mouth.

"Whose... do these belong to?" Yan Xun asked.

The few people who came pulling the wooden box were escorted by the vicious man with the umbrella, looking terrified, they kept looking at Ruan Duanxi, and the man interrupted them intentionally or unintentionally when they wanted to speak several times.

Looking at the appearance of those people, Ruan Duanxi suddenly felt a little desperate.

He understood, it was Yan Xun who forced him to say it.

"Monster." Ruan Duanxi murmured, seeing Yan Xun looking over, he felt overwhelmed, and said flatly, "They all dedicated it to the emperor..."

"En..." Yan Xun dragged out his tone, and carefully looked at every expression on Ruan Duanxi's face. He saw that his heart ached and he relaxed quietly. Every time he looked at the wooden box, he would grit his teeth. Yan Xun looked at the wooden box. It took a while before he said, "If that's the case, it's really a good thing. All right, you all go back, I will take good care of Mr. Ruan and make sure to send the gold and silver to the capital."

Ruan Duanxi and those people were taken down at the same time.

Back in the tent, Ruan Duanxi murmured: "This is no rest, it's simply inviting you into the urn. Yan Xun, you are so ruthless..."

Ruan Duanxi was thinking about the gold and silver on the tip of his heart, but Yan Xun didn't pay attention to it, he just ordered to watch it carefully, and went back to sleep in the tent.

All the way back to Beijing, Yan Xun followed suit.

If the people in the city didn't take the initiative to send the silver, Yan Xun would personally take Lvniao and others to bring out the silver box by box.

When they arrived in the capital, the Taoist soldiers behind Yan Xun had already stretched out, escorting wooden boxes one by one, and there was a continuous line of soldiers as far as the eye could see.

When curious people see it, they can't help asking: "What is this?"

"Gold and silver."

"Where did you get the gold and silver?"

"It was presented by nobles in various cities."

"really?"

"That's natural. I heard from my relatives that his son is a Taoist soldier and is currently stationed in the capital's camp. I heard that he has made meritorious service this time, and the emperor will reward him. This errand is a real one." Well, not only sent away the envoys of the demon country, but also got so much money, it shows that there are still many good people in this world."

People who don't know the truth only believe what they see with their own eyes.

And the words and phrases that spread out became more and more outrageous, and later it became that many people felt that they had feasted their eyes after seeing the big demon, so they offered money to the court on their own initiative.

Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to go to Honglu Temple, and went straight to the left minister Lu Chaoyang's residence.

After entering the study, Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to hide anything, so he told everything he had seen and heard, and said bitterly: "Yan Xun is really deceiving people too much, I am afraid that there may be changes in the capital camp now, my lords, What should I do?"

Regardless of his status, he looked at the adults expectantly, expecting their advice.

Lu Chaoyang still drank his tea unhurriedly, and said slowly: "The right time and place are all on Yan Xun's side, let's just let it go this time."

"But those silver..." Someone couldn't help saying, "Lu Xiang, the court tax is waiting for this batch of silver."

"You don't need to waste any more effort. Yan Xun can send away the demon country's envoy so quickly, and there is also a surprise, this matter is already something I can't get involved in." Lu Chaoyang glanced at Ruan Duanxi and said, " Fortunately, he didn't find evidence this time, otherwise..."

Ruan Duanxi shrank his neck immediately, he understood what Lu Chaoyang said, otherwise, he would be the one who was sent to the guillotine.

"Lu Xiang, let's just let it go if it's hard to beat us?" There are still some people who are not reconciled.

Lu Chaoyang shook his head lightly, and said calmly, "This is the capital, after all, it's not his place. Don't act rashly for now, let's see what his next step is. As long as he is in the capital, he can't decide many things .”

"This is..."

The room gradually became quiet, as if those words just now had never been said before, Ruan Duanxi closed his eyes and rested his mind like other adults, sipping tea leisurely, pretending to be a wild crane, better than a god.

In the palace, Yan Xun presented the Tiger Talisman again.

The emperor lowered his head slightly, looking at Yan Xun who couldn't hide his thin body even though he was wearing a mask, his expression was complicated, and his heart was even more complicated.

Among the people he met in his life, Yan Xun was the most special one. He tried his best to balance Yan Xun, but found that the right time and place were on Yan Xun's side. Go with the flow.

Looking at Yan Xun's appearance at this time, the emperor suddenly felt that Yan Xun seemed to be a person born at the right time, and there was nothing he couldn't solve.

"Yan Aiqing has made great achievements. Tell me what you want." The emperor said gently.

The gold and silver that Yan Xun brought back were all put into the private treasury, every time the emperor thought of it, he couldn't help but smile.

Yan Xun said respectfully, "Wei Chen wants to go down to the bottom of the river under Danxin Bridge to have a look."

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes lit up, "What did Yan Aiqing discover?"

Yan Xun shook his head lightly and said, "I didn't find it. It's just that the bottom of this river is bottomless, and no one knows what the bottom of the river looks like after so many years. Curious, I want to see what the bottom of the river looks like. It's not easy..."

With such a wide river, no one knows how deep the bottom of the river is. If you want to enter the bottom of the river, you will probably spend countless money.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor understood that this was Yan Xun deliberately exchanging credit for this seemingly child's play right, "Since Yan Aiqing wants to, then go." The emperor looked at Yan Xun with a pleasant face, thinking that he was very knowledgeable about current affairs, Unlike some ministers in the DPRK, they always think of profiting for their nephews.

Coming out of the palace, Yan Xun walked towards Jing Fengye, leaning on him wearily.

Even when entering the palace, he did not take off the mask on his face.

"The emperor is actually not that unreasonable." Yan Xun leaned on Jing Fengye and got on the carriage, "My mask is unique in the world, even if I wear the mask majestically, the emperor did not get angry."

"The emperor understands, but many things are out of his control." Jing Fengye said.

"That's right. Tomorrow, I will go to court tomorrow, surrounded by the barren mountains of the demon country, and I don't know how long the quarrel will last." Yan Xun lay comfortably in the bed, pillowing Jing Fengye's thigh, and said softly, "Let's go back to the nursery school. Hall construction, I want to discuss with the cubs to see how the bottom of the river can go down."

The river in Daqin has no name and is extremely wide. Even if Yan Xun built a bridge, it was nothing more than a bridge built on the water. Except that the piers near the river bank can go deep into the bottom of the river firmly. Did not touch the bottom of the river.

But even then, Danxin Bridge was built with the joint efforts of the cubs.

The blanket was soft and warm, Yan Xun couldn't help but fell asleep, when he woke up again, he was already lying on the kang.

"My lord." The flower tree cub leaned over to take a look, and said happily, "Master has changed the prescription, this time the medicine is guaranteed to be more effective."

"Is there a lot of licorice?" Yan Xun asked hastily.

"A lot!" The flower tree cub showed Yan Xun the prescription, "This time the soup is not so bitter."

"That's good." Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief.

Lifting off the quilt and getting up, Yan Xun put on the cotton-padded clothes, saw that the cubs were all there, and counted them one by one, but he didn't see the smallest baby and brother Tan, and touched the quilt again, but couldn't find the two cubs. little cub.

"The two younger brothers have gone to Peking University's residence." The black and white cub hurriedly said.

"Let them go." Yan Xun could guess without the cub explaining.

The baby has always liked him as a master, and Brother Dan is even more crazy on his own, wanting to go everywhere, but he is too small, so everyone is worried, and usually he will accompany Brother Dan to various places, and rarely let Brother Dan act alone.

Jing Fengye came in with snacks and tea and put them aside.

"Let's figure out a way..." Yan Xun still remembered what Du Meiqi told him back then, even though there is no way to enter such a deep water, he will not give up.

"With my ability, I'm afraid it won't work." The black and white cub thought for a while, "Maybe we can build a huge iron channel. We haven't done experiments. When the water pressure increases, there will be some completely closed holes in the deep sea." There is air in the cave for people to breathe, if we can adjust this pressure..."

"With the current technology, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Then build a tunnel first, extend it from the river bank, and experiment while trying."

"diving……"

"Water pressure is a problem."

The cubs already know that even in the capital city and the border town, there is a slight difference in air pressure, and some people who go from the capital city to the border town will get sick, and this is partly the reason.The water pressure is different and more difficult to control.

Yan Xun sat against the wall, watching the cubs discuss with a smile.

They took out paper and pens, quickly drew one by one graphics, and even brought water basins to conduct small experiments.

"If the children are like the cubs and develop such a habit from an early age, what do you think will be different?" Yan Xun crawled over to lean on Jing Fengye and asked in a low voice.

Jing Fengye took a piece of snack and put it in Yan Xun's mouth, and said softly: "The children's abilities will become very powerful, and they won't go back to find their parents just because of the slightest things, they will have their own thoughts and ideas. , will become completely different. The adults said that studying things and inheriting are equally important. Daqin has been passed down for thousands of years, but it is just a lot of famous sentences and ancient books and unofficial history that have been handed down. , the ever-changing objects can create the whole world.”

"Master Jing is very thorough." Yan Xun praised.

Since ancient times, Daqin has been a scholar, farmer, businessman and businessman with distinct levels.

Therefore, among the books handed down today, literati and inkmen wrote the most books. Farmers' farming skills can only be passed on by word of mouth. They may not be able to read for generations, so it is impossible to write books and pass them down. People despise it, and there is no chance of literacy, so many skilled craftsmen can only spy on one or two through the handed down literati poems. As for those real exquisite mechanisms, they have long since disappeared.

Thousands of years ago, the great generals were all amazing and talented, and they could create miracles every time they formed troops and fought against big monsters.

However, the inheritance is cut off, so what's the use of just looking at the poems describing how the general repelled the demon kingdom?

"Learning things is what needs to be passed on the most." Yan Xun said, "If everyone is born with the ability to study things, understand the sun rises and the moon sets, cloudy and sunny, and wind and rain, lightning and thunder, why worry about what they want? Can't find a way to deal with it?"

The direction of the cubs' discussion has changed again, and they are calculating the cost.

Yan Xun knows that for the current Daqin, many rough methods of investigating objects and craftsman skills are the skills that the common people rely on for survival. The so-called teaching apprentices starve to death masters, so those skills will never be easily passed on. Everyone he wants to see They all know how to check things, and they must start from themselves, from the cubs, from the first and second schools of the nursery school.

These little cubs are no longer the same as when they were studying at Honglu Temple. At that time, they admired Yan Xun, learned to read and write with him, and studied so much knowledge with him, but they didn't know how precious these things were.

But now the cubs no longer need to hide in Honglu Temple, they have already walked upright in front of people, showing their abilities and the knowledge they have mastered.

They already know how precious they have mastered, so they pass it on to Brother Dan without reservation, take care of Brother Dan with a grateful heart, and want this youngest cub to grow up like them.

"My lord, we have discussed it!" The black and white cub ran over with the blueprint, knelt and sat opposite Yan Xun, handed the blueprint and said, "Look at it!"

There are dense symbols on the drawing, and there are scales beside it, and a budget form at the bottom.

Yan Xun couldn't help but tremble after only one glance, and asked, "How did you come up with this idea?"

"My lord has taught us the knowledge of bionics." The black and white cub said, "There is a reason for the existence of everything in the world. If we create it ourselves, it is too difficult, and we don't have that kind of ability now, but if we imitate it, it doesn't matter." It's not difficult, and..."

When Du Meiqi left Beijing, the river below the Danxin Bridge set off huge waves, viciously slapping the river bank.

In the border town, Du Meiqi left a message for Yan Xun, asking him to go to the bottom of the river to find the answer.

The blueprint that the black and white cub brought over now looks like Du Meiqi!

"You can try it." Yan Xun said decisively.

When the cubs were discussing, Yan Xun also thought of many plans, and even thought of imitating the bloodthirsty fish monster, but the bloodthirsty fish monster is a monster in the sea after all, different from the river.Now that the cubs thought of such an idea, even Yan Xun himself didn't think of it.

He was a little surprised, but took it for granted.

The cubs have been growing. He paved a short road in front, and the cubs will find the road behind, and slowly, go further and further.

"This requires a lot of steel ingots." The black and white cubs were a little tangled, "Steel ingots are not cheap, but this is the best way we came up with."

"Try first, don't worry about steel ingots." Yan Xun
