The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 488 Central Intelligence Agency
There are not so many horsemen in Shanxi, and they want to set up their own logistics company - a car and horse company, and they need to train new grooms.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyue glanced at the group of Jurchen businessmen, and found that there were two young male dolls in the team. Although they also had shaved haircuts, they looked much cuter than the adults. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to keep them.

If you want to do Sinicization, you can start doing it now, wait for that guy Li Zhao to do it!
So she pointed to a little boy sitting on horseback and said to the translator, "Sir, ask the boss if that kid on horseback can shoot arrows."

There was a puzzled expression on the translator's face, but he translated according to Song Qingyue's words.

The Jurchen businessman on the opposite side was obviously taken aback, but also nodded with doubts all over his face, said something, and looked proud.

The translator immediately said to Song Qingyue: "This one, and the older one next to it, are the sons of the village head. Their children can ride horses and shoot arrows without being able to walk."

Song Qingyue smiled and nodded at the Jurchen village head, and then said to the translator, "Ask him for me if he would like to keep this child and teach my son how to ride horses and shoot arrows."

The translator was taken aback, and looked at Song Qingyue in surprise.

Song Qingyue said with a smile: "Tell him, I will provide food and lodging for his son, buy silk clothes for his son to wear, teach his son to read, and give his son pocket money of two taels of silver per month. Just ask him if he would like to Willing."

The interpreter had no choice but to nod to show that he understood, and turned his head and said something to the bearded man whom they called "Niu Lu Ezhen".

The bearded man first stared at Song Qingyue with rounded eyes, then smiled, as if out of surprise rather than anger, then pointed to another older child, and said a few words to the translator.

The translator also showed a smile on his face, and said to Song Qingyue: "The village chief said that his older son is better at shooting volleys. If you don't dislike it, why don't you leave them both?"

Song Qingyue clapped her hands and praised: "Yes, yes! This is what we wish for! Help me thank the village chief. He is welcome to do business with us next year!"

The translator talked to the Jurchen for a few more words, and said to Song Qingyue very embarrassedly: "The village chief asked the empress if he could give him the money for his two sons in advance."

Song Qingyue raised her eyebrows, suppressed her facial features that were about to fly around, cleared her throat, raised her chin towards the two children, and said, "Ask those two boys if they are willing. If they agree, I will Give the money to their father."

This interpreter is a Han Chinese living in Liaodong, so he was naturally helping his princess, so he skipped over this "Niu Lu Ezhen" and yelled at the two children, who were very upset after hearing this. Surprised, they stared round at Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue smiled gently at them, the two half-old children actually blushed, lowered their heads a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help but look up at her secretly.

The older child, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, turned his eyes around the maidservants following Song Qingyue, showing a silly smile on his face.

The bearded man yelled at the two dolls impatiently. The two children seemed very unhappy, so they yelled back at their father. There seemed to be a quarrel between the two sides. The translator said to Song Qingyue: "The children agree that you will give half of the dolls." Give the money to the village chief first."

"Success!" Song Qingyue readily agreed, and asked Qin Jifu behind him to give 24 taels of silver to the village chief, then waved to the two little boys to let them come over, and then said to the translator: "How about you, too, sir?" Let's stay here and teach the two children Chinese. Food and lodging are included, and how about giving the husband three, two, five dollars a month? Don't worry about answering, the horse is given to us, and the balance will be paid after half a month. And first Stay in Taiyuan with peace of mind, and I will have someone take everyone around Taiyuan Mansion."

Originally, Song Qingyue wanted to say that the two young boys would leave their father soon, and they should stay with their father for half a month, but the older half-child couldn't wait to stand up, knelt down and kowtowed to Song Qingyue, Then he smiled and stood in Song Qingyue's team, looking very familiar.

Song Qingyue: ...

Well, in fact, this age is a bit rebellious. It is normal to want to leave parents and family. The younger one is obviously a little reluctant, but he still stands up with his brother.

On the same day, Song Qingyue took the two little boys to a fabric store, saying that she would make clothes for them and let them choose their favorite fabrics.

These two little boys were also not the same polite, they ran towards the colorful brocade, each of them hugged several horses, and looked at Song Qingyue with some apprehension and anticipation.

Song Qingyue shook her head with a smile, and stretched out three fingers: "Each person only has three! Three!" The language barrier, Song Qingyue made gestures, and the two children understood quickly. Although a little disappointed, three is also very good!
Just which three to choose?
The fabrics of the Central Plains are all beautiful!
The two little boys probably had some difficulty in choosing, and stood in that fabric store for a long time.

Song Qingyue didn't urge them, and led the maids to sit aside, slowly fanning and chatting with the shopkeeper of the fabric shop.

It wasn't until she left with the two young boys and Qin Jifu went to pay the bill that the shopkeeper realized in horror that this person was actually an eunuch, that is to say, the one just now was the princess!

"No wonder she looks so beautiful! I have lived all these years, and I have never seen a beauty more beautiful than that little lady." The shopkeeper's son who was helping in the cloth shop murmured to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper closed the folding fan with a snap, and slammed his son on the head: "How many years have you lived, kid? There are so many people who have never seen the age that you will reach in a blink of an eye! Hurry up and get to work!"

"Hey! Dad, can you stop hitting me on the head every now and then! My head needs to study!"

This person is also studying at the Zhaoyue Primary School in the west of the inner city of Taiyuan Prefecture. Now there are nearly 600 students of different ages, more than 20 classes, and more than 30 teachers in the primary school. The scale is second only to Zhaoyue in the capital. month elementary school.

Zhaoyue Primary School in Beijing now has three campuses, more than 1000 students, more than 40 students, more than 60 classes, and more than [-] teachers.

When the shopkeeper heard his son say that he was studying, he was so angry that he raised the fan in his hand and tried to beat him again: "In the worst class, you have the nerve to talk about studying! The sir has already notified, next month If you don't make progress in the exam, your father will ask you to pay the tuition! I don't think you are that kind of material, so stop studying as soon as possible and go to the coal mine of Prince Jin to mine!"

"Father! Don't hit me, don't hit the head! I was beaten stupid by you! I will definitely pass the exam next time! I can pass the exam!"

……

Three days later, the young masters of the Zhong family and the young masters of the Dai family came to play with Li Kun. Li Xiaokun introduced to them a new friend from the mansion, A Min, and they played together, mainly with the younger one. People do not understand the language, and communication basically depends on gestures, but you can have fun.

The older one was too old for Li Kun and the others, so he couldn't hang out with them, but Yun Ying suddenly felt close to the kid with the money pigtails, and today the two went for a horse race in the countryside.

After lunch, Li Kun came to find Song Qingyue, saying that he was going to play at the villa of General Dai's family to see his four-year-old little sister.

Song Qingyue nodded in agreement, and asked Zeng Maozhi to lead a few people to follow.

"Come back before dark!"

"Hey! Got it, mother!"

As a result, the kid didn't come home until almost eight o'clock in the evening, wiping his mouth full of oil, carrying his well-fed belly, and even holding a domesticated parrot in his hand, taking Song Qingyue He was so angry that he was fined to stand alone in the dark yard until midnight that night, and Song Qingyue fined him to run around the palace ten times the next day, and he was immediately arranged for foreign language class!

It's crazy to play when you're on vacation, it's outrageous!

It just so happened that the Liaodong translator came over and said that he had made up his mind and was willing to stay in the Prince Jin's mansion to serve the princess. Song Qingyue then arranged for Manchu and Mongolian lessons.

Yunying was a Mongolian teacher, and the interpreter taught the two Jurchens Chinese and Li Xiaokun Manchu at the same time.

The other kids who are close to Li Kun have to attend class together when they come!
The children are all miserable. I didn't expect that they have to go to tutoring before school starts. Why is life so difficult!

After such an encounter, Song Qingyue suddenly thought, why didn't she think of arranging foreign language classes in school before?Foreign language talents must be available. The Zhou Dynasty did not have a CIA for foreign intelligence, right?
As a big country, how can there be no CIA to the outside world!

The real Daming in history is more diligent than anyone else in internal intelligence, but there is almost no external intelligence.So much so that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, what the generals in Liaodong were doing, the court actually relied entirely on guesswork. What the military situation was, it all depended on the generals’ pond newspapers, such outrageous battle reports that 200 people beheaded 4000 people just opened their mouths and appeared. A bunch of ridiculous things that are neither magical nor magical.

His Excellency Sun Wu already said in his military book thousands of years ago: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." A sentence that a three-year-old child can memorize, but no one practiced it.

Don't know each other at all, what a shit fight!

There were so many smart people in the Ming Dynasty, they read their books until they were in the stomachs of dogs!
It is true that it is very difficult to conduct intelligence on the vast grassland, but it is difficult but it is difficult to do it, and it is completely different from not doing it at all.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyue sent a very aggressive telegram to Li Zhao.

The little eunuch who translated the telegram was sweating on his brow, and the concubine called Li Zhao an idiot in the letter.

Li Zhao read the telegram, glanced at the little inner eunuch who was trying to keep his face unchanged, coughed twice and left with his hands behind his back.

It's not angry, it's just a little embarrassing.

Song Qingyue was quite right. For now, Dazhou’s intelligence on the political situation in the grasslands comes from Borjiji’s department. But if one day Borjiji suddenly rebelled or fell out with Dazhou Now, Da Zhou's eyes are smeared to the situation of the grassland, and he is as ignorant as a blind man.

External intelligence agencies should indeed be considered for establishment.

On the prairie, the emperor's father played harder than expected.

These Mongols also came prepared. In order to restrain Da Zhou’s firecrackers, they specially made a shield chariot with several layers of cowhide on the front. They hid people and horses on the shield chariot and slowly approached Da Zhou’s army. Wait until a certain distance before launching a charge.

And Dazhou's artillery also showed a weakness of poor mobility during combat because of its bulky stature.

At the beginning, the emperor thought that the Mongolian army could be killed by firearms, but they had the upper hand in the initial battle. The artillery unit here in Dazhou was even attacked by their cavalry at one point, losing one artillery team and robbing five cannons. Well, if the cavalry from Borjiji's troops hadn't come to help in time at that time, the loss would have been even more severe.

Fortunately, after this battle, the emperor himself and all the officers of the Great Zhou corrected their attitudes and did not dare to underestimate the enemy. Later, it was completely crazy to output heavy firepower regardless of cost, so that the Mongolian shield chariot formation pierced.

At present, the grassland does not have a macho man from heaven like Genghis Khan to unite the various tribes. Now the tribes are plastic brothers.

Several tribes were terrified by the bombardment of Da Zhou's strong firepower. Now that many horses saw Da Zhou's military uniforms, they began to lay down their picks and wanted to strike, which showed how frightened they were.

How is this played?
Life was hard enough at first, but seeing that the shield car formation that had been built with great effort was crippled again, what is there to fight!

Hurry up and go back to each house and find each mother.

Most of the tribes had the intention of retreating, and the Tatar Khan had no choice but to retreat, and Emperor Li Da had already begun to consider whether to continue to advance the border northward.

Li Zhao's idea is not to push further north, and if he pushes further north, even if the Tartars are temporarily repulsed, the logistics cannot keep up, and he will not be able to hold it. If he wants to hold the border, he will have to invest a huge amount again. Money and manpower are used to build roads and bunkers.

And the investment of these manpower and material resources is a very uneconomical deal.

Li Zhao's idea is to hope that some small tribes in Mongolia can get acquainted with each other, learn from the Borjiji tribe, and submit to the Great Zhou.

Not to mention, at the end of July, the leader of a small tribe took his daughter and expressed his willingness to submit to Li Da, saying that he was willing to build roads and fortresses on his own territory, hoping that Da Zhou could also seal himself a What kind of marquis should be the one, and then give a few hundred taels of silver and a few hundred shi of grain every year, and so on.

But the problem is that the emperor doesn't want to build roads anymore.

It's too cold further north, and there's no way to plant land. Even if you want to raise horses, there is enough room for the current site.

It's really meaningless to build that road further north.

But these people came to submit to the Great Zhou, and they couldn't ignore them. The emperor first issued an imperial decree, like Yun Xiongying at the beginning, and granted two verbal princesses, and then bestowed them on the fifth and sixth sons respectively. side concubine.

For the rest, the emperor himself didn't think about what to do, so he planned to talk about it slowly after taking him to the capital.
