My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 113: new activity

Li Yin’s method of catching sparrows is very simple. This is what Li Yin used to do when he was a child, because in winter, sparrows will find it much more difficult to find food. At this time, sprinkle a handful of rice on the snow, and the sparrows will swarm down. , scrambling to peck at each other.

Jin Daqian was asked to find a bamboo basket and a rope. Li Min picked up a wooden stick, tied one end of the stick with a rope, and then used the wooden stick to support the bamboo basket in the yard. He sprinkled a handful of rice under the bed, grabbed the other end of the rope and ran back into the house.

?? Cui Yingying laughed and hid behind Li Yin, saying, "Can your Highness catch a sparrow?"

?? "Absolutely!" Li Yin hid behind the door, staring at the bamboo basket, "Peasants can still be caught, let alone sparrows, shh, don't talk, or you will scare them away."

??Winter is very boring, especially when it snows, Cui Yingying becomes playful, and she also stays behind the door with Li Yin, waiting for the prey to come.

?? But thinking of the prey, Li Yin suddenly thought of a sport of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty—hunting. He has never hunted once, and taking advantage of the heavy snow, animals can easily leave footprints on the ground. Why not do it at this time?

??The two waited quietly for a while, and four or five sparrows landed. Cui Yingying saw it, and kept pulling Li Yin's clothes to let him pull the rope.

Li Yin slapped her little hand, and whispered softly in his ear: "You can't pull it now, haven't you seen that they haven't eaten rice yet?" Although a few sparrows came to the edge of the basket, they just wandered around the edge, watching warily. All around, pulling down at this time will only let them escape.

?? Cui Yingying stopped moving after hearing this, but stared at the sparrow intently.

Looking around vigilantly for a while, it seemed that there was no danger. A few sparrows jumped into the frame and began to peck the rice on the ground. When the time was right, Li Yin handed the rope to Cui Yingying and said, "You bring it on!"

Cui Yingying took the rope excitedly. She had never played with it since she was a child. She held the rope and pulled it, and the wooden stick flew out of the bamboo basket quickly. Several sparrows reacted and wanted to escape, but it was too late, " It was covered in the bamboo basket with a bang, and the sound of "thumping" kept ringing inside.

?? "Hee hee..." Cui Yingying ran to the bamboo basket with a smile, opened a corner of the bamboo basket and groped inside. When she stretched out, there was a fat sparrow in her hand.

Li Yin walked over and looked at the sparrow in Cui Yingying's hand. Speaking of which, it is rare to see sparrows in cities in the 21st century. I saw that this sparrow was very fat, and it was much bigger than modern sparrows. Less, at least as big as two.

?? "What did you eat after killing it?" Li Yin smiled evilly.

?? Cui Yingying put the sparrow behind her back and said, "No, I'm going to find a cage to raise it." After finishing speaking, she asked Xiaocui to find a cage.

As the saying goes, the fun of fishing lies not in the fish, but in the process of fishing. This is also true for catching sparrows, only in the process of catching sparrows. After successfully catching a few sparrows, Cui Yingying's interest greatly increased, and she played with Li Yin for half a day hour.

?? It's just that at this time Li Yin's heart is completely focused on how to hunt, and he played with her for a while, and slipped away again under the pretext of something to do.

??Going out the door, he went directly to Zhechong Mansion. Just after entering the door, a graceful figure came towards him. Li Yin took a look, with the corner of his mouth raised, it was the orchid from Wei's restaurant.

??Hu Ji recognized Li Yin, saluted Li Yin, and called "Your Highness." Li Yin said, "General Qin is still in the mansion?"

?? "Report to Your Highness, the general just woke up." Hu Ji replied, Li Yin nodded, and walked straight to Qin Huaiyu's room.

Zhechong Mansion is not Qin Huaiyu's mansion, but a modern military camp, with all the facilities for basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. Originally, Li Yin planned to buy a separate house for Qin Huaiyu, but he clamored to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, so Li Yin refused. Reluctantly he had.

?? Li Yin is the chief executive of Yizhou, and also the chief military officer of Yizhou. Naturally, these soldiers are no strangers, and they all salute when they see Li Yin.

After such a heavy snowfall, the soldiers on the school grounds were clearing the snow. Qin Huaiyu was standing in the middle of the school grounds. In front of him stood four to five hundred soldiers in armor, all of whom listened to Qin Huaiyu's speech with bewildered expressions on their faces. wearing something.

?? At this moment, a man who looked like an officer ran over and whispered something in his ear. He turned his head, presumably telling him that Li Yin was coming.

?? "Your Highness, why are you here under such heavy snow?" Qin Huaiyu walked towards Li Yin and said.

??Li Yan smiled and said, "I'm going to go hunting in a few days, how about it? Are you interested?"

?? "Interested." Qin Huaiyu smiled, life in the military camp is very boring, Qin Huaiyu is about to suffer from illness, and Li Yin's suggestion made him feel full of energy immediately.

??Qin Huaiyu's answer was exactly as Li Yin expected. He glanced at the soldiers in the center of the school field and said, "Those are the newly rotated government soldiers this year?"

"Yes, Your Highness, they are all recruits and don't understand anything. The three rotations this year is really a headache. The soldiers just trained a bit and then they are sent home to farm. How can we fight like this, and Yizhou is not like Songzhou can still have a chance to hone in the face of Tuyuhun, and it can delay the rotation time in case of war." Qin Huaiyu glanced at the recruits who still couldn't tell the left and right and said with emotion.

??Li Yin patted him on the shoulder, "There is no way to do this. The Fubing system inherited from the Sui Dynasty cannot be solved in a day or two. There are reasons for the existence of this system."

?? "However, I heard that many generals have proposed to His Majesty to implement the recruitment system. Why don't His Highness also advise His Majesty that if the recruitment system is implemented, this problem can be solved."

Li Yin also heard about this matter from Su Morer. Now Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Liang, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanren, Hou Junji and other generals are advising Li Shimin to implement the recruitment system. Now Li Shimin is also in a dilemma, hesitating The atmosphere in Chang'an is also quite tense.

??This recruiting strategy is nothing more than the selfishness of the generals. Without soldiers to lead them, they are nothing.

Qin Huaiyu's thinking is naturally the same as that of most generals, but this is not the thinking of the civil servants. He said: "We will not go into this muddy water. Father will not agree to implement the recruitment system, even if he agrees, he will only be in the army. Implemented in some affluent places, this is a soldier who needs food and labor, which is contrary to the national policy of the father and the emperor to recuperate and recuperate."

?? "Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu agreed, but couldn't hide his disappointment.

??Li Yan looked at it and said with a smile, "The soldiers of this government are rotated, but the guards of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce are recruited. This is the same as the recruitment system. Don't you have soldiers yet?"

?? Mentioning this, Qin Huaiyu's heart suddenly brightened, and said: "That's right, why did I forget this!"

?? Notified Qin Huaiyu, and Li Yin went to notify Shangguanyi, Wang Yinlong, Tong Nian and others. The hunt was still more crowded.
