The backyard was very lively. When Chen Xu arranged for it, he went in. Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Xia Zijin, Yu Wuya and Chun Xia Qiu and winter maids were all competing to watch this rare pearl in the world.

"My benefactor, is this the auspicious auspicious emperor got in Wuzhong?" Yu Wuya held up a big pearl and was amazed at the sunshine.

"Not bad, but today the emperor rewarded him!" Chen Xu smiled and sat down on the rocking chair in the yard and nodded.

"The emperor is really good to benefactor. Such a large pearl that is rare in the world, I'm afraid there will be no second one in the world!" Yu Wuya sighed.

"It's just a pearl, and it can't be eaten as a meal. I'll give it to the person you like!" Chen Xu glanced at Xia Zijin standing beside Yu Wuya and said.

However, it is obvious that Yu Wuya, a straight man who doesn't understand women, yells: "I don't like anyone, I just like my benefactor's food...ah~"

Before Yu Wuya finished speaking, Xia Zijin pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and turned it gently, jumped up in pain, turned around and looked at Xia Zijin angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Hmph!" Xia Zijin stretched out her slender fingers and pinched Yu Wuya's ears and her beautiful eyes widened: "Why do you say you want to marry me if you don't like me?"

Yu Wuya was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xia Zijin blankly for a long time before she came to her senses and laughed at her, "Don't be upset, I didn't remember it..."

"Since you have no self in your heart, I'm going back to the mountain!" Xia Zijin let go and turned out, and walked out in a few steps. She had already reached the gate of the yard in the swaying of the green skirt.

"Zi Jin, how could I not like you? I just forgot..." Yu Wuya hurriedly stuffed the pearls into Shui Qingrou's hand and chased after him. Soon he heard a few ping-pong sounds from outside, accompanied by a few muffled groans. After a while, he saw Yu Wuya holding Xia Zijin's little hand with a blue nose and swollen face, smiling in with great excitement.

"A grievance!" Chen Xu couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling that he could no longer see.

"Shit~" Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and several maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and laughed.

"Sister-in-law, I want to sew this pearl on the hat and take it to school, but my brother doesn't let you, please tell me..." Xing'er refused to give up this opportunity to show off and pulled Shui Qingrou's arm and shook it gently.

Shui Qingrou was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly. Xing'er went to see Ying Shiman again. Ying Shiman was a little embarrassed. When she was about to speak, Chen Xu sat up with a wry smile and said to a maid, "Qiuxiang goes and take the bag I put in the study drawer!"

"Yes, Marquis!" Qiuxiang turned around and left, and soon took a golden silk brocade from the study. Chen Xu took it and opened it. He poured out two pink pearls the size of a finger from it and said to him: "The big black pearl cannot be used. These two pink ones are more beautiful. Xing'er and Yu Ji one by one. You can use it to find Weaver Girl to sew it on the hat!"

"Yeah, thank you brother!"

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoxu!"

The two girls raised one in their hands and cheered and ran out of the yard, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Husband is so generous?" Meng Wan pouted and looked at the courtyard where the two girls disappeared.

"Come here!" Chen Xu took the big black pearl from Shui Qingrou and stuffed it into Meng Wan's hand and said, "This big pearl is given to you, are you satisfied now?"

"Really?" Meng Wan became happy in an instant.

Chen Xu nodded and his eyes fell on her chest casually. Two slightly raised bulges, and he couldn't help but jump in his eyebrows.

A year later, this girl has grown a lot taller and her figure is extremely charming. She looks charming when she stands in front of her, but Chen Xu's favorite thing is still as always, and there is not much change.

"Husband~" Feeling Chen Xu's lost gaze, Meng Wan's cheeks blushed in an instant, and her mouth turned red as she held Pearl's mouth.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Chen Xu quickly put Meng Wan in his arms to comfort her.

"Husband, I can't help them even if they don't grow up..." Meng Wangong thrust in Chen Xu's arms, wiping tears.

Well, Chen Xu was also full of black lines. Although this place was a back garden, it was still very embarrassing to say this in person, so he had to whisper in her ear: "Can you come to bed tonight?"

"Really?" Meng Wan burst into tears and smiled.

"Well, don't throw this pearl away, otherwise the emperor will ask me if I can't handle the job!"

"Don't worry, husband, I'll put it in place now!" Meng Wan stood up happily and went back to the room.

He was so gentle and beautiful that he had only a small breast. Alas, looking at Meng Wan's back, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This must be a crime committed by his father-in-law. Next time he would discuss it with him and get some compensation.

After marrying for three years, Chen Xu felt that he would not grow to satisfy himself if he waited, so it would be better to eat early.

After half an hour of playing in the back garden with his daughter and his three wives, Xiao He, Liu Bang, Zhou Bo, Chen Pingyingbu and others arrived one after another, and Fan Kuai's dog meat was almost done. Therefore, a group of people gathered in the restaurant and held a banquet, sitting around a stove dining table common in rural areas in later generations and started eating meat and drinking.

Chen Xu never ate dog meat in later generations, mainly because the structure and dietary customs are different. However, since he came here, eating dog meat is an extremely common and common phenomenon. As one of the six animals, dog meat is the main source of meat. Compared with large livestock such as cattle and horses, dogs and sheep occupy a large head on the table, chickens and ducks are also considered expensive meat, while pork is only eaten by ordinary people. It is mainly before the pigs learn how to castrate and breed, and it is actually semi-domesticated wild boars, and the meat is rough and not as delicious as other meats.

However, after the continuous promotion of the Agricultural College and the publicity in newspapers, castrated pigs have begun to become popular. At least the pigs raised near Xianyang must be castrated. Not only does they grow fast but also have extremely tender meat. In addition, the promotion of pork dishes in Qingheyuan, eating pork has also begun to be recognized by the nobles and gentry classes.

But there is a saying that dog meat is unstable and the gods are unstable. The rich and fragrant pork with dog meat is completely incomparable.

The group of people around the stove were not seen, and they ate meat and drank a big glass of wine, and talked about some news they heard. However, the most common thing was the rebellion of Xiang in Wuzhong. Although this incident had just been spread to Xianyang for about an hour, it was already full of controversy with the spread of civil and military officials from the scattered dynasty in Xianyang.

"What do you think about Xiang's rebellion?" Chen Xu asked while eating.

"A small group of thieves, with weapons and armor incomplete, they are all mobs. Why not be afraid? The marquis has no worries, so he should eat meat and drink wine quickly!" Ying Bu said with a lip of his lips.

"General Ying said it well. Xiang is probably alive enough. He is indeed domineering in Wuzhong, but there is no situation at all. This is the way to die!" Xiao He shook his head.

"That's true. The Qin Dynasty is now strong and powerful. At that time, the Chu State brought million armored chariots and thousands of chariots, and even the famous generals like Xiang Yan could not resist. What's more, now there are only a few thousand people, and the Xiang family's rebellion is like stroking a tiger's beard, and it will inevitably be wiped out by the emperor with thunder!" Liu Bang also nodded and agreed.

Chen Ping held a dog leg and chewed it until he was half full before looking up. "Although the Xiang family is weak, the counties in Jiangdong are in the hinterland of the old Chu. I heard that the people of Chu there were not convinced. I thought it would take some trouble this time!"

"Why did Brother Chen Ping say this?" Xiao He and Liu Bang put down their chopsticks together.

Although the two are quite good, they still have no way to compare with big names like Chen Ping who have been in Xianyang for several years. Their experience is completely different. Moreover, Chen Ping was the number one adviser under Liu Bang in his later generations. Many of the strange plans were made by Chen Ping, and Zhang Liang sighed that he was inferior to him.

"Show me some paintings for you to learn more!" Chen Ping took Chen Xu's mansion as casually as he was at his own home. He grabbed a napkin and wiped it a few times, then stood up and walked to the front of a blackboard next to him. After wiping off the graffiti of Xing'er and Yu Ji on it, he quickly drew a simple map of Jiangdong with chalk, which looked very familiar.

"Mr. Marquis and you all, this is Wuzhong. It is the sea in the east, the river in the north, Zhejiang in the south, and the five lakes in the west. After crossing Zhejiang, it is the boundary of central Fujian. All of them are mountains..." Chen Ping analyzed the terrain after a few strokes, and then pointed to Wuzhong and said, "Wuzhong is actually a closed place with dense water networks around it, which is not suitable for large-scale chariots and horses. When Chu conquered Yue, he arranged for large ships to go down the Yangtze and Zhejiang. But Ping said that it was hundreds of years ago. Chu Yue was in the south, and the boats were all ready for war. However, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, I was worried that the Chu people gathered troops to harass the counties and counties, so I ordered all the large ships to be destroyed, leaving only small boats that were less than five feet long among the people. These small boats were the most.

Ten people are not suitable for fast transport of soldiers. Therefore, Xiang rebelled in Wuzhong. As long as he attacked a county town and gained a foothold, if the Kuaiji County Magistrate could not quickly wipe it out, the news of Xiang's uprising would inevitably spread to several surrounding counties soon. In this way, there would inevitably be people gathering bandits to respond in Chu. Once several surrounding counties were in chaos, the entire south would be in chaos. Even if the court sent a large army to conquer, he could only chew step by step, because there were no boats, a big river alone would cause a headache. Under the court's slow chewing, bandits from the southeastern counties would inevitably flee to the southeast, and finally formed several large bandits. Once tens of thousands of people gathered, it would be a big problem, because the court could not quickly mobilize tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress..."

"Brother Chen has forgotten that there are still 200,000 troops in the Five Ridges?" Xiao He couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, I heard that Your Majesty has ordered the Wuling Guardian to mobilize troops to surround the Xiang family's rebels eastward. With the advance of the Wuling army, the Xiang family will eventually be surrounded and annihilated in Kuaiji County. Kuaiji is difficult to move around. This is not only a blessing place that they can rely on, but it is actually a dead place..." Liu Bang also nodded and spoke.

"Haha, Ping didn't say that Xiang's family would succeed, but it just said that it would take more trouble. If it goes through more trouble, it would inevitably consume more people's efforts and money. This would definitely cause great damage to the Qin Dynasty that had just settled down. Xiang's actions would not succeed, but they would shake the hearts of the people. Ping sighed that the reform process of Marquis of the Marquis might delay a lot!" Chen Ping threw down the chalk and returned to the chair and sat down to continue gnawing on the dog's legs.

"Do you have a good idea to quickly eliminate the Xiang rebellion?" Chen Xu frowned slightly.

Chen Ping's analysis was much more thorough than he thought, especially in Jiangnan, all the lands in the south of the Yangtze River were all relying on boats to transport soldiers and food, which was a huge burden. Chen Xu definitely did not expect that there were no large boats available in the Qin Dynasty, which would inevitably reduce the speed of extermination of the rebels. Even building wooden rafts would still cost a lot of people and time, and the safety of wooden rafts and boats was completely incomparable.

"In fact, there is another major difficulty. This time, Your Majesty mobilized soldiers from the three counties of the Central Plains. These soldiers were not familiar with the terrain and even climate in the south. When the general attacked Chu for more than a year, he continued to confuse the tired Chu army. Finally, he took advantage of the retreat of the Chu army to launch a raid successfully. At that time, Chu had a capital and a king, and he could not escape and could only fight hard, resulting in the failure of the Chu army in a battle and could only be destroyed. However, the Xiang family rebels were different. They did not have a capital and had no king. If they were not right, they could escape. And they would inevitably plunder towns and villages along the way, causing great destruction and panic among the people. Moreover, the places in Lingnan have not been completely recovered. If the Xiang family escaped into the mountains of Minyue, it would take more time to wipe out..." Chen Ping said while eating.

The emperor's suppression of bandits Chen Ping was not concerned, nor was he worried that he would not succeed. He simply analyzed many certain and uncertain factors of the bandit suppression from the military aspect.

Chen Xu stared at the analysis picture drawn by Chen Ping for a long time and put down the wine glass and said to a maid: "Go to the study and take the map of Daqin!"

"Yes, Marquis!" The two maids retreated and soon took out a huge map of Daqin to unfold them in front of everyone.

This is a national map similar to later generations, and even Taiwan and Hainan Island are marked. Looking at this colorful detailed map that is definitely different from the one used by Daqin, everyone asked a few questions. Chen Xu also explained a little bit, and then looked at Kuaiji and Fujian and other places for a long time and said: "Secretary Chen's analysis just now is very detailed and it is very consistent with the current situation. It seems that it is not easy for His Majesty to destroy the rebels within three months. If the rebels flee into the mountains of Minyue, it may take several years to succeed. Although this is irrelevant to Daqin, as long as this rebel is immortal, the Qin Dynasty will continue to be in turmoil..."

"The Marquis is worried, right!" Chen Ping, Xiao He and Liu Bang all nodded, while Zhou Bo and Ying Bu were busy eating at a pot of dog meat, as if they didn't care about the military operation at all.

Chen Xu pinched his chin and felt that even if the emperor sent Wang Ben, he would still have a big question mark in this victory, and the variables were relatively large.
