Chapter 77 Although Qin Bing is old, his pride is still there
At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and Ying Yu's Zui Xian Nong, although not high in strength, would still be intoxicating if drunk too much.
The veterans were already staggering, and even Ying Yu was slightly drunk.
And the most unbearable thing is Meng Yi, at this moment Meng Yi is already drunk and unconscious.
The night is getting darker.
"Young master, it's getting late, shouldn't it be time to go back?"
Wang Li leaned closer and asked.
Ying Yu glanced at the dozen or so irregular briquettes beside the brazier, and shook his head slightly:
"The snow hasn't stopped outside, so I won't go back today."
"What, are you not going back?"
Wang Li, Qin Feng and others were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect Ying Yu to have such an idea.
"Why, do you have any opinions?"
"No, absolutely not."
Wang Li hurriedly shook his head, then said to the veterans:
"Young Master intends to stay overnight."
Upon hearing this, the veterans immediately prepared a bed for Ying Yu.
The bed was very hard, and Ying Yu lay on the bed, lost in thought.
Judging from today, these veterans lived very hard.
There are only two ways to improve their current lives!
Or give them enough land!
Either let them have enough economy!
But obviously, they are not willing to accept gifts from outsiders!
In other words, in the hearts of this group of veterans who participated in the Great Qin War against the Six Nations, there is an arrogance unique to them!
Ying Yu didn't want to wipe out their arrogance, how could they make them feel that they were not giving alms.
Coal mines were found here, and if briquettes were made, these veterans would have lived a prosperous life.
But Ying Yu knew that this was not what they wanted.
They are all old Qin people, undead veterans who have experienced many battles.
For them, Great Qin is their belief, and war is everything to them.
Now that the world is unified, there are fewer wars, and they are old, so they don't know the meaning of their existence!
Ying Yu has the ability and a way to make these veterans accept the rewards from the court, but if he does that, it will be equivalent to taking away the arrogance of these veterans.
Seeing them, Ying Yu thought of his grandfather.
His grandfather was also a soldier, but Ying Yu had never heard of him talking about his time as a soldier.
It wasn't until one day that his grandfather fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, and a group of people with the rank of colonel or major general on his shoulders came to visit him, that he didn't know that his grandfather was a battle hero.
"When you get old, you still cause trouble for the country."
Ying Yu clearly remembered what his grandfather said before leaving.
At that time, he was still young, and he didn't understand why grandpa would say that. Even now, he still can't figure it out.
How similar these veterans are to their grandfathers.
The next day, early in the morning.
The heavy snow has just stopped, and the dazzling sun shines on the earth.
Although the snow has stopped, the real severe cold has just begun.
Because when it snows, it is not the coldest.
The sun rises after the snow stops, and this is the coldest time!
Seeing Ying Yu get up, a veteran came over holding hot soup.
Ying Yu reached out to take it, and drank it without hesitation.
This is the first time he really experienced the food of ordinary people in this era!
To be honest, it was hard to eat!
Originated from nature, the original taste is the most delicious, it is simply farting.
This thing is pitch black, and the taste is a bit astringent and sour. If anyone says this food is delicious, Ying Yu will definitely go up and give him two big ears.
Although it was unpalatable, Ying Yu could still eat it!
Also willing to eat!
Because he knew that this was the intention of these veterans. In his opinion, this bowl of black paste was extremely unpalatable, and it might be something these veterans would not be willing to eat at ordinary times.
After eating all the black paste in the bowl, Ying Yu came to the brazier and poked the briquettes!
At this moment, due to the long-time baking, the briquettes have been shaped, but the inside has not yet dried out.
But that's enough.
Ying Yu placed the briquettes in the brazier, waiting to be roasted.
Meng Yi wobbled over and squatted beside Ying Yu, looking suspiciously at the briquettes in the brazier.
Not long after, many veterans came in.
Seeing Ying Yu and Meng Yi squatting beside the brazier, they all gathered around.
Everyone looked expectantly, although they didn't know what they were expecting.
In this way, under the expectant eyes of everyone, the strangely shaped briquettes slowly started to burn!
The fire is not big, but it is even.
"This...is it here?"
The veterans stared blankly at the burning coal balls in the brazier, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Compared with charcoal, there is not much difference except that the smell is a bit pungent!
"Really...really accomplished?"
Ying Yu stood up and clapped his hands, and said with satisfaction:
"Is it possible for me to make a move?"
"With this briquette, there is no need to buy charcoal in the future."
Meng Yi stared blankly at the briquettes in the brazier, his whole body was not well.
Because a large part of their Meng family's source of income is charcoal.
That's all right now, what the young master got out of... what kind of briquettes, directly cut off his family's financial resources.
Although this thing is not as good as charcoal, it is not cheap. The veterans said that it can be seen everywhere in the back mountain.
"It's all right now, you don't have to worry about heating any more."
Wang Li said excitedly.
The veterans gathered together one after another, looking at the burning briquettes in the brazier, with joyful smiles on their faces.
They are unwilling to accept Daqin's gift because they don't want to cause trouble for the empire.
But if they can support themselves, improve their lives, and add two more clothes for the children, how can they refuse?
Meng Yi stared blankly at Ying Yu, tea, cement, Quyuanli, wine, and this briquette.
This young master of Qin is simply a god-man, how did he come up with these things?
With these briquettes, the people of Daqin will no longer need to worry about winter.
This briquette is made of stone nirvana, and stone nirvana can be seen everywhere in Daqin, and it is inexhaustible!
Seeing the happy veterans, Ying Yu dropped another bombshell.
"My son is going to train a new army, and I want to invite all veterans to serve as instructors, what do you think?"
The veterans who were still smiling at first, all the smiles on their faces disappeared after hearing Ying Yu's words.
Everyone froze in place, looking at Ying Yu in disbelief.
After a long time, one of them smiled wryly and said:
"My lord, I'm already hopeless, thank you for your kindness."
Ying Yu naturally understood what they meant, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"I would like to ask you to teach the recruits how to survive and kill the enemy on the battlefield. After all, you are experts in this regard."
