Chapter 474 Extra 10 (7)
Sun Luban also said this subconsciously.
How can I put it about this guess... From the perspective of the train of thought, it is consistent with Qiao Huan's perception of her.
"Is it true that there are no descendants of the Mi family from the East Sea who come to study at Leping Academy?"
After Qiao Huan said this, Sun Luban hesitated again.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with what she said. It is true that there are people from the Mi family of Donghai who go to Leping Academy to study, and they have never done anything that requires them to hide their identities.
This made her swallow the second half of her speculation.
According to Sun Luban's idea, Mi and Mu sound quite similar.
Moreover, judging from the way Qiao Huan lived his daily life, it was definitely not something an ordinary family could support.
When talking about wealth, the first person that comes to mind is of course the Mi family.
But as Qiao Huan reminded him, the Mi family of Donghai once sent people to study at Leping Academy.
That was none other than Mi Zhu's biological sister.
Now, the other party has already graduated from here and took over the clothing business in cooperation with Princess Yang'an from his brother. At least during the time in Leping, the other party had no intention of concealing his identity.
If Qiao Huan really came from the Mi clan of Donghai, would she need to hide her identity more than Mi Zhu's biological sister?
I’m afraid not.
"Okay, why think so much?" Qiao Huan interrupted Sun Luban's thoughts, "But what you said reminds me that there is indeed business to be done here."
Sun Luban's eyelids jumped, "You don't really plan to... We don't have that much time."
"I know," Qiao Huan replied calmly, "Now is not the time when we have to spare no effort to accumulate military funds. Why should we waste our study time to engage in such affairs? But it does not mean that we cannot benefit from it. Didn't you say it all, Donghai Mishi?"
Sun Luban stared in amazement as Qiao Huan took the initiative to write a proposal right after the equestrian lesson. He also clearly listed some of the things that should be considered by the person making the proposal and the reasons for choosing Mi to inform the matter.
It has to be said that Qiao Huan might be a little lacking in proficiency when it comes to writing storybooks. When writing such serious documents, one cannot tell that she is still young.
But if Qiao Huan were to say, if the literacy textbooks were all memorials, even the dumbest guy could reach her current situation.
Seeing that Deng Ai seemed to have a worried look on his face, Qiao Huan said, "Don't worry about the Mi family bullying others. Although the Donghai Mi family has the merit of following the emperor, and even ranks among the Xuanyuan Pavilion, it will take at least three generations to completely transform from business to politics. On the other hand, there are people with ingenious ideas in Leping Academy. It is hard to guarantee that they will not be valued by Your Majesty after their studies are successful. It is not good to rashly occupy their ideas. What's more, everyone knows that I... I am Mu Huaixu, why should they do such a superfluous thing and cause trouble for nothing."
"Of course, this doesn't mean that when we have such plans in the future, we can always hope that our partners are kind people, compared to the so-called Leping Academy students -"
Qiao Huan paused for a moment before continuing, "Just as your Majesty's actions, thoughts, and actions are emulated by people all over the world, we aim to become the elites of the new generation, so we should naturally become a benchmark for the younger generation."
Sun Luban clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, if you say that this thing is what Sun Luban likes, because he is your majesty's right hand, and he is vying to imitate him, he is much better than the general Leping Academy students."
"But we still have a lot to learn." Qiao Huan shook the piece of letter paper in his hand and decisively poured cold water on Sun Luban.
But what can I say? For children of this age, having something to look forward to is better than anything else.
What's more, they soon received some positive results.
Qiao Huan and the others could not leave Leping Academy rashly in order to prevent any problems from happening to the students after they left school. However, it was indeed safe to send the letter out. And because Mi Zhu's sister Mi Si was in Bingzhou, the letter was quickly delivered to the person in charge.
Mi Zhu was a man of many intelligences, and he knew how to guess the intentions of various parties. Miss Mi San, who had the opportunity to work outside and be in charge of a certain area under the background of Qiao Yan's administration, was no less capable than him.
Her eyes swept over the two words "Mu Huan" signed at the end of the letter. Thinking of the rumors that had been circulating in Leping Academy in recent years and the unclear words her brother had said at a family party two years ago, a hint of understanding appeared in her eyes.
The identity of this "Mu Huan" is probably about to be revealed.
And what she mentioned in the letter... is indeed something that can be done.
It has been ten years since I sailed across the sea and brought back rubber trees.
Ten years is enough time for the rubber resin planted in Jiaozhou to replace the raw materials brought back by HNA and take on the application of rubber in production in various fields. The Mi family of Donghai has also invested a considerable amount of money in it. As Your Majesty wished, they contracted the entire rubber forest and returned the land of Yandu as soon as possible.
Considering that northern barbarians can ride horses at the age of ten, and the children of northern soldiers are also expected to have such courage, the market for this rubber helmet is indeed not small.
Not to mention whether the price of this item can be raised by labeling it as the same model as Leping Academy.
There is also a market for using it in other places.
It’s just that before, the cost of this thing was quite high, far less than others, but now after being reminded by "Mu Huan", it should indeed be put on the agenda.
Although Mi Si is still young, she is a successful businessman just like Mi Zhu when she first came to Leping. After thinking this through, she immediately made several decisions.
Earlier, there was a saying among the Mi family that within the scope of losses she could afford, there was no need to report every action to her family in detail, so this time she simply acted first and reported later.
One of them was to communicate with her subordinates to design a helmet as quickly as possible that would be shock-resistant while minimizing the consumption of rubber and other filling materials.
The second was to submit a petition to the emperor, expressing willingness to donate 30,000 helmets to coal mines and iron mines in various parts of Bingzhou in exchange for the exclusive sales rights of these protective helmets in the hands of the Mi family, especially the trademark of "the same style as Leping Academy".
The third was to write back to Qiao Huan, expressing his willingness to give them 10% of the net profit from this action on a permanent basis, and that they could sign a contract as a guarantee.
At the same time, since this idea came from the equestrian class at Leping Academy, it would be better for the Mi family of Donghai to pay for and give them several pure-blooded Dayuan horse calves as gifts, wishing them in advance that they can be successful in equestrianism and roam the territory.
With Qiao Huan's status, it is not difficult to get a horse of this quality.
The best foreign horses in the world will be presented to Your Majesty first.
Mi Si obviously knew this.
But she still made such a decision.
When Mi Zhu got the news and rushed to Bingzhou to question her, she said, "Since my brother has confirmed my guess that the other party is indeed the young princess, then I think that since she has hidden her name and came to Leping Academy to study, she must want to make a name for herself with her own abilities, and the same is true for the horse that accompanies her in battle."
"Your Majesty's red sandalwood horse was a gift from the Wang family of Taiyuan. Now your horse comes from my Mi family of Donghai. Isn't this a kind of echo?"
Qiao Yan received the horse after solving the locust plague. Now Qiao Huan can be said to have relieved someone's worries and gained this gift. As Mi Si said, for Qiao Huan, who particularly respects his mother, this is the most suitable gift.
"My brother taught me that gifts are not about value, but about touching the heart of the person."
Mi Si smiled and asked, "You said so?"
How could it not be?
At least after receiving this gift, Qiao Huan made a note of this Miss Mi San in his red notebook.
Because Qiao Huan was the first person to use this kind of rubber helmet, the one she got was the best one among them and did not arouse any suspicion from others.
Of course, Guo Yi and Zhuge Ke, who had received a reply from home earlier, could not help but sigh at the slippery tactics of the Mi family of Donghai.
Hearing Guo Yi sigh, Zhuge Ke asked: "If you are envious, you can actually go up and make friends with him."
Anyway, their family just told them not to be as clever as Sima, or to interact with the other party too deliberately in other ways. It didn't mean that the two of them really had to completely disappear in front of Qiao Huan.
It never hurts to be familiar with others.
Guo Yi shrugged, "Sighing doesn't mean he's lamenting about this. It could just be that he's lamenting why there can't be another rich person like me in the world."
"Besides, for us, it is enough to see clearly what kind of character and ability this prospective heir has. This is already our sixth year studying in the academy. Anyway, we don't plan to continue our studies here, so we will naturally leave school and participate in the imperial examination when we are most confident. We won't have too much interaction with her."
Guo Yi seems to be quite lazy in daily life, just like his father, but he still sees things very clearly.
Generally speaking, when a monarch has an outstanding heir, he may hope that his subjects will respect and look up to the heir, but he never hopes that they will put the heir before him.
He and Zhuge Ke's current situation is the best.
They had the ability to recognize the young prince, yet they still kept a distance from him.
Just like he said, it's the last year, so don't make trouble for yourself.
Unfortunately, Guo Yi wanted to spend his last year in Leping Academy in peace and stability, but others did not give him the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
As early as March and April, Qiao Yan had issued a plan to have generals come here to give lectures. Normally, this was not a big deal, but among them was Lu Lingju, who had just returned from Suizhou.
Suizhou is a place with a lot of things to do, or a place with not much to do. But for a military commander with a lot of energy, it is a bit boring to rely solely on his own prestige to make all parties submit.
General Lu, who happened to come to Leping Academy to give a lecture and was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, first asked His Majesty to transfer General Hu Ya from Suiyuan City to Leping as well, and then announced the "rules of the game" to the students who came to listen to the lecture.
How can talking about combat strategies and marching experiences be as impressive as letting them practice them themselves?
Instead of speaking here in a stern manner, Lu Lingju felt that he did not have the eloquence to do so, so it would be better to lead these students in a competition.
Grades 1, 3 and 5 form a group and are led by her.
Grades 2, 4 and 6 are on the other side, led by Lu Bu.
The place of the decisive battle was in a section of the Taihang Mountains east of the academy.
As luck would have it, Qiao Huan, Sun Luban, Jiang Wei, and fifth grader Deng Ai happened to be on the same side.
Guo Yi and Zhuge Ke, sixth graders who should have been indifferent to the matter, were on the opposite side.
"Why are you acting like this?" Xiahou Yuan's third son, Xiahou Cheng, was also here. He looked at his other two friends and asked in confusion, "General Huya may not really follow your plan, but if our age advantage is not enough for us to deal with this battle, then how can we enter the court in the future?"
"Uncle Quan..." Guo Yi looked at this classmate who could kill a tiger with one arrow, and began to wonder whether the other party's current ignorance was a good thing or a bad thing, but he just said: "Forget it, let's leave it like this. I also want to see the other party's ability."
The situation is not as bad as imagined.
When Lu Bu came to meet them, Guo Yi felt that he must have been right, as he could see on the other's face the frustration of not being able to refute his daughter.
Just think about what's going on.
Lu Lingju felt that she was better than Lu Bu, so she took charge of the 135th graders. Lu Bu was unwilling to admit his age and did not want to take advantage of this. Unfortunately, because the initiative of this event was in Lu Lingju's hands, he failed to convince her.
If this depression happened to someone else, it might just be unhappiness, but for someone with Lu Bu's temperament, it was a real desire to fight.
Even though he is over 50 years old and no longer as heroic as he used to be, it does not affect Guo Yi's judgment.
After he and Lu Bu talked alone for a while, Xiahou said that his suspicion that "Lu Bu would not obey orders" no longer existed.
Because Zhuge Ke's movements were not very flexible, Guo Yi decided to have one group guarding quietly and the other traveling, with Zhuge Ke and he leading them respectively.
Guo Yi cooperated with Lu Bu, Xiahou Cheng and others in the active attack to fully exert the combat effectiveness of these two powerful generals.
In order to prevent casualties in this military confrontation, the arrows and weapon tips carried by everyone were blunted and wrapped with cotton and cloth. The elimination criteria were hitting the throat, head, heart and other vital parts with the colored powder on the cloth, or completely capturing the enemy. It was not a real battle, but the martial arts of these two people could still play a significant role in Guo Yi's plan.
But he never expected that Qiao Huan and others' interview with Zhang Niujiao some time ago would actually be effective at this time.
Due to various reasons, the novel about Black Mountain Gathering was forced to remain at the stage of only writing the beginning, but Qiao Huan had searched for a lot of materials.
And Zhang Niujiao is a very capable person in some aspects.
In order to prove that he actually had a chance when he invaded Leping, Zhang Niujiao took Qiao Huan and others to walk through the potholes in the mountains. He used his experience in searching for supplies in the mountains after entering Leping to point out all the places in the area that were suitable for hiding and ambushing.
Of course, whether this hindsight is enough to convince Qiao Huan is another matter. Anyway, at this moment, Qiao Huan, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others are all familiar with this area, at least they know it much better than those who are confined to the academy most of the time!
Lu Lingju originally wanted to see Qiao Huan's talent as a commander, but considering that she was still young and not old enough to fight head-on, she needed someone to support her, so she put herself in the position of a thug.
Even so, she still felt indescribably relieved after seeing Qiao Huan quickly come up with a plan to utilize their strengths to make personnel adjustments and guerrilla warfare.
She had not had the honor of seeing His Majesty's elegance in his early years, but she seemed to be able to get a glimpse of it from this little prince.
But this was not the time for her to hesitate because of this emotion. She nodded to Qiao Huan and said, "Then you will be in charge."
There are already very few first- and second-year students who pass the lecture qualification examination, so there is almost no need to worry about any younger children holding them back.
Qiao Huan was also a prominent figure in the Leping Academy. With Deng Ai as a medium, she quickly selected out the people with the greatest ability to annihilate the enemy.
Then she gave an order.
Although the idea is to defeat them one by one, there is another priority before that, which is to capture the leader first.
"The king you are talking about should not be General Huya, right?" Lu Lingju stood with his arms folded, watching with interest how these people were divided into four groups for primary and secondary attacks and support from the side at the fastest speed. He also heard Qiao Huan talk about the saying of capturing the king first, and asked immediately.
"No, I'm talking about Guo Yi." Qiao Huan replied, "If Zhuge Yuanxun walks in the mountains, he will be too conspicuous, but Guo Boyi can. If we defeat him first, we will defeat Lü Fengxian and the others. With General Longxiang here, we don't have to worry."
Lu Lingju asked again: "But I heard that one of you has a stutter. In this kind of cruising operation, can you guarantee that the orders will be issued without any delay?"
"I can." The one who answered her question was not Lu Lingju but Deng Ai.
In order to completely prevent him from revealing any abnormality when he speaks, it is not enough to rely on the method of writing and reciting at the same time that Qiao Huan asked him to adopt in the past two years.
But after he tried successively such methods as exercising with stones in his mouth, writing down the manuscripts in advance and practicing them repeatedly, and trying hard to convince himself to forget about the disease, Deng Ai had also summed up a lot of techniques from them.
For example, he can convey his instructions in a way that is as accurate and concise as possible.
Lu Lingju: "In addition——"
Before she finished saying the word "another", Sun Luban's voice rang out from the other end, "Let me say this first. I'm really not aggressive. Don't have any strange impression of me."
Lu Lingju almost couldn't hold back her laughter at this sudden interruption.
Some of these young people in front of me can only be described as children, but the spirit of cooperation they show is really pleasing to see.
Suddenly, she was reminded of the time when she was still in Leping Academy, and how they had also tried to get Lu Yi to integrate into their group by making jokes.
Time flies, and it has been more than 20 years...
"Okay, I believe you." Lu Lingju said, "If I lose face to General Huya, I will go and cry to His Majesty and ask him to let me stay here for a few more days so that you can learn how to train soldiers in advance."
Whether she really had such thoughts in her words or was just joking, the smart people present could tell it.
Qiao Huan smiled and said, "Then just wait and see what's to come."
This is still a prepared battle.
From the moment the order for the two sides to fight was issued from the foot of the mountain, Lu Bu's team fell into huge trouble.
Their elusive enemies made full use of the terrain advantages between the mountains and would attack them unexpectedly at any time.
Lu Bu and Xiahou Cheng were almost confused and failed to catch the two people. Instead, Guo Yi, who thought he could keep up with them and assigned the two people properly, unknowingly lost contact with the two people during the pursuit.
Just as he felt something was wrong, he was suddenly dragged into the surrounding dead leaves. Then he saw several people rushing up and subduing the people who followed him. At the same time, he was subjected to a terrifying attack that was like a mountain pressing down on his head.
Guo Yi was almost suffocated by this, and could only barely see through the gaps between these people that the team hiding here was led by none other than Qiao Huan!
Obviously, she knew very well that what she should do was not to play a prominent role in such a battle, but to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses to ensure her own victory.
Although he didn't know why Qiao Huan, who grew up in Luoyang, was so familiar with the Taihang Mountains in advance, it was a fact that Guo Yi was completely certain that no one participating in this game would be willing to win by cheating.
This is indeed because he is not as skilled as others.
but--
"I said..." Guo Yi tried his best to make his voice heard, "I've been eliminated, can you please stop pressing me?"
Don't make it seem like he can still escape by giving him this special "treatment".
What is this?
Why was it that his father was rescued by His Majesty's flying horse when he came to Bingzhou that year, and even often whispered in his ear about it as the beginning of the relationship between the monarch and his subject, while he had to be held down by the people led by the young prince and forced to fight for the land with his head!
Don’t bully people like this! !
The author has something to say:
Guo Yi: I originally wanted to meet Her Majesty in the officialdom in the future, but she blew my head off on the battlefield first QWQ
Zhuge Ke: Now you know that being a little fatter is good for you.
Qiao Huan: Everyone raise your hands!
It's so funny, the way the king and his subjects met each other in this generation is very simple and crude (you.
See you tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. There are only three chapters left before it is completely finished (rubbing hands). I feel like I see the light of hope.
