1.93 Grape alfalfa

Huang Gai is good at using double whips.

Whips originated early and were very popular by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are differences in softness and hardness. Hard whips are mostly made of copper or iron, and soft whips are mostly made of leather. The whip called by ordinary people mostly refers to hard whips. Hard whips are generally used for horse battles. When holding whips, they often hold double whips. The steel whips are heavy and have no blades, which hurt people with force. Therefore, those who hold whips need to be strong and brave. Common whips are chopping, sweeping, pricking, scratching, striking, striking, striking, striking, etc.

Unlike ordinary double whips, the gilded cooked copper whip in Huanggai's hand has six edges and hollow, and it can be moved up and down. Each weighs more than 30 kilograms. The double whips can be combined into one, forming a cooked copper stick, which is convenient for the horse to face the enemy.

In the fifth year of Jianning, Liu Bei was eleven years old.

The soft ladders on both sides of the saddle were removed. Uncle San said that Liu Bei could ride a horse like ordinary people.

He is tall and his strength is getting longer. His sword style is becoming more and more proficient. Liu Bei, who is about the same height as Gongsun, can fight with Jian Jue for more than a hundred times.

The two-stone strong bow that the third uncle gave him can also accumulate strength and pull it full.

Knowledge and action double, and a thousand miles a day.

Just after the late spring cold, every household was busy removing the windshield panels. The spring was bright inside and outside, and the wind was gentle. The trees were new, and mosquitoes and flies had not yet grown. There was no need to pass through the screen window to see the revival of everything outside the courtyard. It was the best scene of the year.

The land was dry and the sun was warm. The building was built in large quantities, so it moved from indoor to outdoor. The last bridge was completed in early March. The Shunyang Wei family moved to their new homes. Neighbors all came to congratulate. The generous gifts presented by the Marquis' Mansion were more heartwarming than those of the high-rise houses.

Lou Sang's rent and taxes are quite light, and there is also less labor service. Specialties are sold very well and all industries are prosperous. It can be called rich.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

The elite soldiers of the army rotate day and night. Looking at the building and water fort, keep a close eye on the door and beware of the slut.

Cui Jun and Geng Yong, said many times that Lou Sang was rich and needed to build a gate to defend himself. However, Liu Bei did not build a gate, which made everyone puzzled. If you want to say that the young master came from the sky and was known as the son of Qilin, how could he not know the importance of the gate?

Liu Bei said that the official road passes through the town. If the gate is built and the official road is blocked, it will be framed by traitors. The court is broad-minded on the outside and tight on the inside, and the patriarchal law is particularly strict. There are not too many Han clan relatives who have been demoted for various reasons. Therefore, there are no towns but no doors, and they come and go freely to show their integrity.

I see.

It is reasonable that Liu Bei's ancestors lost their title because of the sacred gold medal.

However, the cave in the city was open and the treasure house was outside. It would be remembered by others. However, Liu Bei said that there were bandits in front and later rebels. They didn’t go back? The fort was attacked and defended, and the door was not very useful.

Just block a knife and truck and it will be dead.

This is why the post tower spans the left and right, and the official road passes through it.

After the bridge was built, the craftsmen and laborers began to build the Baihu water pavilion again.

Boats and boats shuttled through the lake, and even boats carried water troops to clear streams and channels, patrolling everywhere. The water in spring was warm, and the duck prophet was dormant. Huang Gai, who had been dormant for a winter, led the two generals Pan Hong and Zhu Gai, and the soldiers who trained boats and boats.

The sword and shield soldiers led by Cui Ba and Han Meng have begun to practice the art of striking the ranks. Enamel armor is essential. According to Liu Bei's meaning, Chinese characters representing army-level and queues were fired on the black porcelain glaze. Geng Yong said that even if it was printed on the armor, it was not a problem. Liu Bei thought about it and gave up. It is not advisable to show off too much now.

Even the crossbowmen who cannot wear heavy armor under Huang Zhong's command are equipped with compound leather armor and protective short swords. The equipment is excellent.

Not to mention the Bai Liwu soldiers led by Lu Chong and Wei Xi were practicing special combat skills such as flying claw climbing, high platform diving, and rope speed down in the port tower crane.

Not only that, you also need to practice bandaging first aid.

These are all Liu Bei's request.

As the training intensity increases, the consumption of food also increases. Try to get essence, dried food, jerky, supplemented with green salt and spring water. Each of them carries food for three days. They do not seek delicious food, but seek to fill their stomachs. They practice hard every day but no one complains. It’s fine if the Liu clan members are not, but why do they not complain? It’s all because of the word “white li”.

Everyone knows that this is the personal guard who protects the young master!

Just as everything is green and spring is in full bloom. Liu Bei accidentally discovered a strange thing, grape, in the pottery pot (fǒu) in the flower hall on the third floor. At this time, the potted plants were planted in a pot, so they were also called "王无". It has the same meaning as the bonsai in later generations.

"Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Dayuan" records: "(Da)wan uses Pu Tao as wine. The rich have stored more than 10,000 stones. Those who have been longing for decades are undefeated. The common people are addicted to wine, and horses are fond of alfalfa. The Han envoys actually came, so the emperor began to plant alfalfa. The pussy is rich in the land. As there are many horses, foreign envoys come to leave the palace and see them all planted pussy. Alfalfa is extremely hopeful..." Zhang Qian discovered and introduced wine in Dayuan, the Western Regions. At that time, people had the custom of storing wine, and the quality was extraordinary, and they could not defeat them for decades. Emperor Wu loved it very much and ordered them to plant them in the fertile land around Chang'an. While introducing grapes, they also attracted winemakers. At this point, there were grape winemakers who were well versed in Western methods. However, the wine at this time was only limited to drinking among the nobles, and ordinary people were absolutely undefeated.

"Records of the Grand Historian" is written as "Pu Tao" and "Pu Tao" in "Book of Han".

After asking, I found out that this precious grape seedling was planted by the Western Region Husband at home. Liu Bei was overjoyed. Then he asked the beautiful Wusband. Husband took out a sachet and opened it and found that it was all Western Regional species!

When people traveled far away, they often carried a handful of their hometown. Or they carried their hometown plants and trees to plant them in different places to relieve their homesickness. Hu Ji followed the caravan to the Central Plains and brought the fruits and seeds from her hometown with them. This is also a common human nature.

Grapes, pomegranates, alfalfa, flax, walnuts (walnuts), courgettes (cucumbers). There are also some seeds that Liu Bei doesn’t recognize.

Grapes and alfalfa, one for making wine and the other for feeding horses. They are both excellent.

Liu Bei ordered Hu Ji to concentrate on taking care of the grape seedlings and transplant them into the yard after they grow. Is there any grapes in the old capital Chang'an? Liu Bei, who is far away in Lousang, is unknown.

To build a water pavilion, you must first nail the stone pillars into the lake. Then build a beam frame, which has become a pavilion. Liu Bei originally thought that building materials such as stone pillars had to be opened to the mountain and collected stones by himself, and then transported to the site to carve them carefully. After asking, he found out that the stone was also sold.

However, the stone at this time was mostly used in tombs, just like Han bricks.

The stone steps, stone pillars, stone carvings, stone beasts, stone temples, stone palaces, stone palaces and stone structures, and the portrait stones in the tombs, etc. In these stone buildings, most of them carve characters and various patterns.

Like coffins, they are all burial supplies.

From the founding of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to the present-day Han Dynasty's new emperor ascended the throne, he has split the land and divided the feudals for generations and rewarded the great families and nobles. The great families have become a commonplace. When will no one die?

Luxury stone tombs were not too late to carve after death. So some merchants carved them early and sold them in the street market. Liu Bei also bought the square bricks that had been laid before.

So he bought it from the county's wealthy merchants.

After asking, I found out that most of the stone merchants in the north come from Taishan County, especially those in Wuyang County in the south. Taishan stone is well-known throughout the world. Naturally, it is the best. Stone carvings and stone beasts are not allowed. Liu Bei only has stone steps and stone pillars.
