The struggle of the reborn prince

After breakfast, the assembly whistle blew, and the doors of each dormitory were suddenly opened. The soldiers quickly assembled, saddled and led the horses into the stables like bullets fired, and then lined up to the playground to wait for orders.First, the horse dismounted, and then stood at attention and took a rest. The password was the same as in the foot training, but the lingering sound was longer, so that the horse could react under the rider's control and make standard movements.

After nearly a month of bare-backed horse training, everyone can now trot steadily on the horse without falling off the horse.It turned out that they usually conduct infantry training in the afternoon, and only have riding training in the afternoon and afternoon, but something happened that day, which made Zhao Tong annoyed, so he changed the afternoon training to cavalry training, but it was mainly aimed at It's horses, not people.

Some of the horses that Zhao Tun uses now are from the mansion, and some are from captured bandits. The horses seized from the bandits were more complicated. They had been robbed from various places, so they all had a 'local' accent.In the past, the guards rarely dealt with horses. They only knew that 'drive' means to go, and 'call' means to stop. During the training, they just yelled at home like livestock. As a result, when they were training outside the mansion that day, a driver passed by. , whipped the whip and shouted 'drive', those who understood followed along, horses are herd animals, and they also understand the principle of 'follow the crowd and not get beaten', and those who were confused also ran along, and the whole horse team followed The cart is gone.

Zhao Tong was stimulated by this incident, and decided to educate the horse on organizational discipline, otherwise he would not defect with the enemy when the battlefield came one day!Zhao Tong understands that everything should be grasped from the basics. Each combat action, from individual to group and team joint training, is also gradual and gradual, and finally achieves the same movement of man and horse. Become a combat body, so as to exert the power and expertise of cavalry.So he transplanted the set of training infantry to the horse, and rearranged the unified password for them to learn and understand what is 'forward, stand at attention, turn left, turn right, walk in step...', now marching in formation, horses and horses The distance between them should be measured with a ruler so that they are consistent.

The domestication of animals has a great influencing factor. After a period of time between humans and horses, these horses have established relationships with their owners. Horses are very intelligent animals. According to some experts, they can reach five or six levels of humans. Year-old level, of course, except for time travelers like Zhao Tong.Although it is not as easy for horses to store information as humans, it is much more convenient than other domestic animals.After training, they can make the horse do simple actions such as turning left, turning right, forward, backward, accelerating, slowing down, etc., by simply pulling the harness or body movements.

"Lie down!" The steward on duty gave the command. Zhao Tun's horse is a royal horse given by his father. It is one of a kind in thousands of miles. It is not only good-looking, but also smart. easy to use.Hearing the command, Zhao Tuo pulled the slow rope on the left side, and the force was immediately transmitted to the horse's bit, and the horse immediately bent its legs and lay down. Zhao Tuo let go of the reins, and quickly took out a piece of shortbread and stuffed it into the horse's mouth. Pay it for being obedient.

The horse ate with satisfaction and looked at the guy next to him. That guy was too stupid, and he was still standing at attention, but could that arm twist his thigh? His master increased his strength, the bit tightened, and he clearly Hearing the sound of the friction between the bit and the gums, the corner of the buddy's mouth almost reached his feet. I have tasted this feeling myself, and it is unbearable. This stupid buddy must understand now, but he will have to endure it later. Whip, why be smarter!

……

The Zhao Mansion has continued to develop in the past few years, and it has become more and more prosperous. There are many workshops on both sides of the Baishui River, and the fires are burning day and night. The main theme here; the small wharf used to transport materials has also been expanded, and can berth large ships, merchant ships passing by the Bian River, and grain-delivery tank boats. Although the prefectures and counties have set up tax cards here, no one dares to do anything because they are afraid of the "uprightness" of the prince. The lack of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes has attracted caravans to gather here. Over the past few years, this place has become a big market.

Of course, Zhao Tun would not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune. He sent people to build warehouses, leased and sold the stores to merchants, and set up stores himself, opened hotels and restaurants, and managed the entire market through the management committee established by the firm. Maintain fair trade, and only charge some small money such as health fees and security fees, but never bully the market, buy and sell by force, and take advantage of it.One industry prospers, all industries prosper, all walks of life gather here for a while, and the prosperity overwhelms ordinary state cities!

It is said that "big hermits live in the city and small hermits live in the wild". Now Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others are in control of the government, and the court has made them a mess. There are also shameless people among the huge intellectuals who sneak into the ruling group The power system caters to the authoritarian political consciousness of the authorities.However, most of those intellectuals who have their own independent value pursuit would rather stay idle than serve as officials in the court.

The Song Dynasty had a policy of preferential treatment for scholar-bureaucrats. With this condition, these scholar-bureaucrats could still receive a salary even if they did not serve as real-time dispatchers.Some people love the clearness, convenient transportation, unimpeded news, and convenient life here, so they choose to settle here and become hermits.These people love mountains and water. Although there are no mountains here, there is water, so they bought or rented land from the government to build houses on both sides of the dam, and lived a small life.

These people say they live in seclusion, but they also want to eat, drink, socialize, and entertain themselves, but they don't bother to go to the pier, so there are some teahouses, restaurants, fast food, paper shops, and small tiled courtyards performing zaju around them to satisfy their spirits. And material needs, it's just that the palace strictly prohibits prostitutes from visiting prostitutes, so the lack of Goulan brothels makes these guys who like to embrace prostitutes and sing a little bit disappointed.

Qingming has passed, Grain Rain is approaching, and it is late spring. People go to thick clothes and change into light summer clothes.In the afternoon, there were more pedestrians on the street, and those readers who went to bed late and woke up late also came out of their homes to drink tea and drink.At this time, two people, an old man and a young man, passed by the street. Although the old man has white beard and hair, he is also strong and straight.Behind him is a young man with a slender figure and a handsome face. Both of them are wearing short and narrow purple shirts with round necks, narrow sleeves, and short hips.

"Teacher, we've been walking for a long time. Shall we rest upstairs?" The young man asked in front of a three-story restaurant.

"Alright!" the old man said with a smile.

Seeing the guest door, Xiao Er immediately welcomed the two of them in enthusiastically, "Guest officer, it's still downstairs!" Xiao Er asked.

"Sanshan!" said the young man, but the old man smiled and shook his head, and followed the stairs.Xiao Er was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

Some people want to ask, why do you talk about "mountain" in the building? It turns out that in the Song Dynasty, the wine pavilion was called the hall, and the building was named after the mountain. One mountain, two mountains, three mountains and so on. lofty.When you enter a store, you should not go up to the pavilion easily, for fear that you will be overwhelmed by alcohol.If you don't buy much wine, you can just sit downstairs, called the door bed horseway, and just make do with something to eat and drink.

"The two guests want a few catties of wine. We are all shochu produced in Fuzhong. It is clear, mellow, and full of stamina!" The waiter picked a seat for the two of them by the window and placed four plates of vegetables and said, where you can see the long clear water , is indeed a good place.

"Two catties first!" The young man said without moving his chopsticks, looking at the old man.When he entered the store, he had already seen the red branches in front of the building, and the kumquat red lights hanging on the door of the store. He knew that this was an imitation of Jingzhong restaurant, and the rules must be followed there. Picking food with chopsticks was laughed at by the restaurant family.

"What kind of food do you want!" Xiaoer asked again, "The fat chicken and tender goose here are all from Zhuangzi, and the fresh fish is just caught in the river!"

"Just a few special wines and dishes from your store, don't be too wordy!" The old man seemed a little tired, and waved his hands.

"Okay, I'll serve you here!" Xiaoer promised to pour tea, went downstairs, reported the food and wine ordered, and when he arrived in front of the shop, he greeted a tea seller who ordered tea by the door with a tea bottle, Whispering a few words in his ear, the tea seller nodded and left in a hurry. These people walked around the streets and alleys, well-informed, and were often responsible for delivering market news, offering each other tea, and asking about the news.If there are good or bad things in the neighborhood, they will communicate with them, or help gather favors and divide labor. This has long been agreed, so some people don't care about it.

The two people upstairs were talking in a low voice, looking at the scenery outside the window, at this time Xiao Er led seven or eight people upstairs again, one of them looked at the two of them, and whispered something in Xiao Er's ear, Xiao Er was a little embarrassed He explained, but couldn't stand the man, so he had to move over.

"Guest officers, these adults want to gather here, can you move to the second floor?" Xiao Ermei said with a smile.

"There are still many vacancies in the building, can't they accommodate a few of them? Why are you telling me to wait, are you afraid that we won't be able to pay?" The young man said angrily, but Xiaoer didn't reply, just looked at the old man.

"Let's go down to the second floor, brother!" The old man shook his head helplessly and said.

"What is the teacher afraid of them?" The young man asked puzzled.The old man pointed to his clothes, then looked at the person upstairs who had just stood up, and went downstairs first.

"Ah!" The young man looked at the people in the building just now, wearing black gauze hats, soap shirts, horn belts around the waist, and leather boots. These are the hoodies that scholar-bureaucrats often wear when they meet and socialize. He looked at his clothes again, it was purple clothes, this kind of clothes are easy to move and walk, and they are often worn by generals, although he was not angry, he could only sigh and go downstairs.

"Hee hee, these two warriors know each other well, everyone sit down!" The leader said with a smile.
