Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chang'an City, surrounded by winter snow, is facing the coldest winter in sixty years, and the cold wind howling from the north seems to be blowing endlessly.  ¡Ü "Qian'er, what do you think our world is like?" Sima Qian held the tome in his hand and shook his head in confusion. The cold wind outside the window blew through the curtains and made him shiver. Fortunately, his clothes were made of two layers of flannel.  The wind kept me warm, my face was flushed by the cold wind, and the thick gloves could only serve as a clumsy shield, which was better than nothing.  What the world is like is too profound for an eight-year-old naughty boy. He still has a deep memory of studying "Guanzi" in his mind. The intensive training left a bad impression on him, so that every time  Meeting Cao was like a mouse meeting a cat. In contrast, he was more concerned about whether to eat mutton hot pot or steamed crucian carp tonight.  Cao Shi raised his head and looked up at the dark sky covered with dark clouds and endless heavy snow covering the whole world. The original grand and domineering layout of Chang'an added a different style. He liked to enjoy the scenery on snowy nights, especially when talking around the fire.  wonderful.  ¡°Our world is an all-encompassing and wonderful place that accommodates hundreds of rivers. To the north is the endless desert grassland, to the south is endless dense jungle, to the west is the shelter of mountains and mountains, and to the east are islands dotted between the sea. We live in this beautiful mountains and rivers.  Between the rivers, this is the territory of our Han Empire, the place where our ancestors have lived." Cao Shi's eyes were distant: "Do you know? Our ancestors were very great. They went through many difficulties and dangers from the far west.  Over the past few thousand years, from the traditional nomadic life of hunting and fishing to the emergence of food farming techniques, they have transformed from a small tribe into the leader of a super tribal alliance, and the king they jointly elected is the ancient holy king.  The story of the times, as a Han Chinese. You should be proud of yourself. " "What is pride?" "Pride is the satisfaction from everyone's heart. The peaceful life you live in this land is.  The Han Empire provides it for you. If you were born in the war-torn Parthia and Seleucid, or the war between the Yueshi and Bactria, you will realize how difficult the war-torn life there is.  They will constantly urge you to pay taxes and perform military service. In order to survive, you must learn how to make a living from the age of seven or eight, and become a qualified citizen of troubled times by the age of twenty, and be proficient in at least two or three ways of making a living, from playing the piano and singing.  You have to go to the fields to farm, and you also have to learn riding and archery. See if that little bow is gone. It was the little bow Wei Qing used before, and it will belong to you from now on." Sima Qian said with a bitter face: "Master, I will.  No need?" "No, you have to understand the hardships of a nation in troubled times. What you did happened to your parents and grandparents, and maybe it will happen to your descendants as well." "No matter what happened to Sima Qian.  How big a complaint.  Cao Shi never relaxed his education on Sima Qian. In his eyes, this boy was a rare piece of jade, clean and flawless, without any trace of artificial carving or chiseling. What was even more rare was that he had a son and a daughter who were still in their infancy.  How to educate a child well is a difficult problem for a young father. Failure to solve it will make his son become a weak and mediocre good boy, which is not in his interest.  He needs a perfect test subject.  To test whether your education strategy works, Sima Qian is the best candidate to experience it.  The two sides once had a connection that was not well known to the public. The Sima family was a bureaucrat of the Qin Dynasty, so there was not much deep connection.  However, Sima Qian's father, Sima Tan, was an important assistant that Cao Shi valued, and it was natural for him to accept Sima Qian as his eldest disciple. The world would only praise Cao Shi for his kindness and righteousness, and for not forgetting to take care of Zhang Qian and Sima Tan's family members.  Sima Qian didn¡¯t know his fate. He was still immersed in the biting cold wind and pain of winter.  The small bow left by Wei Qing was his first weapon when he was nine years old. As he got older, he gradually discarded it. The five-doll small bow was indeed the best choice for a newcomer. Sima Qian was not as physically strong as Wei Qing by nature, and he was also younger than Wei Qing back then.  Some, the only praiseworthy thing is that he is well-nourished, tall, and physically strong. Even so, he can't pull the five-dou small bow. Half-opening is already a very reluctant attempt.  "The body is the capital of survival. If you have to face a war where the outcome is uncertain, you must protect yourself with your own hands. If you want to be a historian in the future, you cannot rely only on your pen to defend yourself.  "Dignity, the bow and arrow are a powerful guarantee for the safety of your life and property." Sima Qian put down the book and drew the bow seriously, constantly correcting the mistakes of the last shooting angle and gestures. The longer the time goes by, the more things he has experienced will be forgotten, and only he can retain them.  What are the genetic habits left by thousands of times of tempering, just like the assassins, the Han people are not used to centralized power, the Han people are not used to sitting on high beds to rest, the Han people are not used to sitting on the soft cushions of four-wheeled carriages, Sima Qian needs to  Developing the instinct to draw a bow is as simple as eating and drinking water every day.    Cao Shi¡¯s expectation is very simple. If he practices more, he might be able to discover more strengths. Even if he doesn¡¯t have the talent to balance power, at least he has the ability to protect himself. He doesn¡¯t have to worry about his shooting skills, but he can¡¯t protect his own life.  Academic training cannot be achieved overnight, at least it is more difficult than drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. An ordinary archer can become a talent in five years, and five years of studying can only be considered a beginning. It is conservatively estimated that it will take twenty years of studying to be considered knowledgeable. Sima Qian  The talent for reading is very good. It is conservatively estimated that it will take ten years to achieve success. Being twice as fast as ordinary people is a great talent.  Taking into account the impact of heavy snowfall on a large scale, an emergency order was issued in Guanzhong to actively clear the snow to maintain normalcy. The houses of the people in the village were intact, and the entire Guanzhong population of 5.8 million was mobilized to actively clear and clear the snow. Fortunately, although  The weather is cold but there is not much snow. Most of the time, the howling north wind blows the snowflakes. Once the wind subsides, the snow becomes much lighter.  Yu Linqi was taken out for winter training. After the long South Vietnam War, many northerners suddenly came back and could not bear the severe cold in Guanzhong. In South Vietnam, all the sweat pores were opened, but in the north they had to close their sweat pores to resist the severe cold. Time  It is inevitable that the body will become unaccustomed to the environment over time, and a lot of thought will be spent on correcting the painful process.  The arrival of winter snow and severe cold not only did not suppress Chang'an City's economy, but the city's huge production advantage quickly maintained its absolute advantage with the arrival of heavy snow and severe cold. Pingyang Garment Factory can produce a large number of cold-resistant blankets twelve hours a day without interruption.  Wool and flannel are very valuable but very easy to sell, and they are almost sold out on the same day.  Charcoal for burning fires and heating is also sold very well, but there are several deaths from gas poisoning every year. Often several members of a family die of gas poisoning for no apparent reason. Each time, the charcoal workshop of Pingyang Houfu has to pay for it.  Compensation and burial. People who died because of charcoal heating must bear certain moral responsibilities. Although the dangers of gas poisoning were repeatedly mentioned before selling charcoal, people's memories are always very poor, and they will quickly put away the reminder.  Everything was clean, which led to many tragic accidents.  Lu Buhai squatted in front of the stove and stared at the flames. His eyes were constantly staring at the golden red iron material burned in the fire. He only relied on the simplest method to master the heat treatment. It was very boring to do it repeatedly through eye observation.  The experiment and Lu Buhai's heat treatment experiment have been carried out for the third year. The heat treatment technology of iron materials, including quenching, is becoming more and more mature.  Lian Ji grew a beard, and in the blink of an eye he went from a dazed young man in his early twenties to a strong man in his mid-twenties. He only heard the sound of "picking up", the fire pliers firmly clamped the iron material and put it into the water to forcefully cool it.  On the other side, young Luden, who is less than twenty years old, is hammering methodically with a sledgehammer. Luden is Lu Buhai's Zhang Zi. He has a blacksmith career of five years at a young age and started working as an apprentice at the age of twelve.  His forging skills are even better than his father's.  A piece of material needs to be forged and heat treated in different processes according to the situation. The success and failure of each operation are carefully observed and considered.  Click!  With a crisp sound, the newly cooled knife was easily smashed by the water hammer. The power of the water conservancy facilities driven by the water wheel was still strong. It is the expectation of weapon developers to make a new knife more resistant, but many times  It always backfires. No weapon can withstand the water hammer with all its strength. It is a natural result that it will fall apart.  But the blacksmiths were not satisfied.  Lu Den said depressedly: "It still doesn't work. Our heat treatment can only go so far. We have no clue about higher requirements for the time being." The broken cracks were taken by the blacksmiths for analysis. Lu Buyu picked up one of the pieces and said:  "The tempering process of iron swords is troublesome. Continuing to simplify the tempering steps and make it more efficient is the next step. Work hard!" The carriage slowly drove outside the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Zhao Yingqi jumped off the carriage and stomped away from the corner door.  Going in, there are quite a few young princes coming to the party. Originally, he didn't have to come to attend, but things have changed a lot in recent years. He came here with a special mission to tell some news.  "You have all seen the heavy snow in the north. How cold has it been for the Huns in winter in the past few years? How to deal with the invasion of the Huns next spring?" The princes present looked at each other indifferently.  Zhao Yingqi raised his anxious voice: "Let me tell you when you are here. It is a great misfortune for the Han family to allow the Huns to invade the border counties and cause losses. The emperor is so angry that the war at the border counties will start again." "It can't be stopped." "Rely on.  Zhao Changcheng and Qin Changcheng barely resisted, and the effectiveness has been verified over the years. Every time the Huns came in and killed everyone, our army rushed over and there was no one left. ""Is there no other way?" "The Great Wall?  Although it is powerful, it needs soldiers to defend it. Considering the pressure of refining troops and simplifying administration, there will not be many troops this year, and even fewer will be assigned to border counties to guard the Great Wall. If the Huns intend to invade, it is inevitable.After finding an opening to break through the Great Wall, the current plan is to enhance the defense of the border counties to protect the people and strengthen the defense of the village.  " Cao Shi sighed secretly: " Quan is a dead horse and a living horse doctor. This is the only plan for the present.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
