Chapter 12 Delegation Function
The next morning, Su Ze dragged his tired body back to his home in Jianyangli.
His archery and horse lance skills were both taught by Li Tong. Su Ze's predecessor had studied these two skills very seriously. Li Tong only pointed out the flaws in his martial arts, and then took him to the hunting ground to familiarize himself with the environment and explained the habits of nocturnal animals.
Su Ze, who lived in the city in his previous life, had no idea that there was so much knowledge involved in hunting. No wonder so many emperors were addicted to hunting. In a world without the Internet, hunting was indeed the most interesting game.
When they were about to part, Li Tong suddenly handed a box to Su Ze and said:
"In this box is the military manual passed down from my ancestors. The wave-pressing riding technique I mentioned earlier is also in this book. In a few days, my father will be leaving the city for some business. You can practice it by referring to it."
Su Ze was shocked. Nowadays, both classics and military books are very precious. Although he didn't know Li Tong's origins, the fact that he was able to summarize such exquisite riding skills meant that this inheritance was of great weight.
Li Tong shook his head and said, "Your grandfather once saved my life. I have always treated you and Yuyao as my own children. Since I have no offspring, I will leave the military book to you for safekeeping."
Su Ze felt a lump in his throat. Although this grandfather was old-fashioned and strict, he was really good to Su Ze and his sister.
Moreover, Su Ze always felt that Li Tong's words were a bit unlucky, as if there was a determination that he would never return.
Su Ze asked quickly, "Is Yafu going on an expedition?"
Li Tong smiled and said, "The world is peaceful now. The southern bandits have not continued to provoke war since the collapse of Fushan Weir. Father-in-law is only ordered to suppress the bandits around the capital."
Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief. The southern bandit was the Southern Liang that was currently confronting the Northern Wei.
The collapse of Fushan Weir that Li Tong mentioned was an artificial dam built upstream of Shouyang City four years ago by the Southern Liang in order to fight for Shouyang. The Southern Liang planned to flood Shouyang City through the Fushan Weir.
At that time, the entire Northern Wei court was shaken. The late emperor sent Li Chong, General of Cavalry, Yitong Sansi, and Governor of Yangzhou, to Shouyang to resist the attack from Southern Liang.
The construction of Fushan Weir consumed too much manpower, and the difficulty of construction was far beyond the expectations of the Southern Liang Dynasty. Finally, the dam suddenly collapsed shortly after its completion. Not only did it fail to flood Shouyang, but the Southern Liang Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties.
After this battle, Li Chong was promoted and returned to the court. People called him "Sleeping Tiger" and he is now the pillar of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Southern Liang Dynasty also stopped its attacks because of this battle. Even during the turbulent period when the previous emperor died and the young ruler ascended the throne, the Southern Liang Dynasty did not attack the Northern Wei Dynasty again.
After Li Tong said this, Su Ze felt relieved. Since they were just suppressing bandits in the surrounding area, there must be no danger. Su Ze accepted the wooden box.
Li Tong said seriously, "There is still a month until the Qinghe Palace's selection of forwards. I won't be in the capital by then, so you must seize this opportunity."
"Back then, your grandfather and I joined the army together. Your grandfather was the best in the army and was selected by Emperor Xiaowen to be a Yulin Lang."
"King Qinghe employs people regardless of their national or Chinese surnames, and welcomes guests widely. This is your chance."
Hearing his father-in-law nagging like this, Su Ze could only nod and agree, and promised that he would participate in the selection of the King of Qinghe to join the court.
After returning home and eating the breakfast prepared by Su Yuyao, Su Ze opened the system again and found that the riding slave Su Da was also in a state where he could not be delegated.
Su Da had just eaten with Su Ze, and he also had to drink water and go to the toilet during training in the hunting ground last night. It seems that the creatures summoned by the system are just like ordinary people, and they can also feel hungry and tired.
Su Ze took the time to rest, as he still had to guard the palace during the day tomorrow, so he had to conserve his energy today.
This also shows how luxurious it was to maintain a team of elite soldiers in ancient times.
First of all, elite soldiers like Su Ze almost all have to leave their jobs, and all the household affairs have to be taken care of by his younger sister Su Yuyao. Moreover, Su Ze needs more food for training, twice as much as an ordinary farmer.
In addition, soldiers also need weapons, horses, and armor. Since Su Ze is a member of the Imperial Guard, these are all provided by the imperial arsenal, which is also a considerable expense.
After resting for a morning, Su Ze opened the system again and found that Su Da was already in a state where he could be delegated.
Su Ze thought about it and realized that the people summoned by the system would be hungry and injured, so he decided to send the riding slave Su Da to a safe area first. So Su Ze picked up the virtual chess piece representing Su Da and placed it in the green safe area of [Southern Wilderness].
[In the safe area "Southern Wilderness", "Slave Rider Su Da" can perform the safety commission: 1 Collect firewood, 2 Collect forage grass, please choose?] There is firewood collected by his younger sister at home, so Su Ze chooses the option of collecting forage grass.
Su Da, who was originally resting in a shack next to the stable, suddenly stood up. He took off the sickle hanging on the stable, put on the backpack for collecting grass on his back, and walked towards the southern wilderness outside Jianyang.
Su Ze, lying in the room, watched the system prompts pop up continuously.
[The riding slave Su Da used the item "Jianyangli Pass Wooden Sign" to successfully leave Jianyangli. ]
[The riding slave Su Da arrived at the southern wilderness. 】
[Slave rider Suda found dry grass and used the item "Sickle" to collect the dry grass. ]
[Slave Suda found dry grass. Use the item "Sickle" to collect dry grass*2. 】
[Slave rider Suda found fresh grass. Use the item "Sickle" to collect fresh grass. 】
. . .
Su Ze studied the system with great interest. He saw that the chess piece representing Su University on the map kept moving in the southern wilderness. The system would also constantly pop up log-like prompts. The delegation function of this system was quite smart.
By the afternoon, when Su Da had collected a basket of grass, Su Ze received another reminder:
[The riding slave Su Da has completed the collection and is returning to Jianyangli. ]
[The riding slave Su Da used the item "Jianyangli Pass Wooden Sign" to successfully return to Jianyangli, and the commission was completed. ]
When the last prompt lit up, Su Ze heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and saw Su Ze returning home with a full basket of hay on his back.
Su Yuyao was also very surprised to see Su Da carrying so much grass back. She had seen many people collecting grass in the wilderness to feed their livestock, but she had never seen anyone as efficient as Su Da, who filled a whole basket in half a day.
Su Ze walked to the stable and ordered Su Da, "Su Da, feed Ben Xiao."
Su Da immediately spread the dry grass in the basket in the trough and began to feed Su Ze's warhorse.
Su Ze thought about it, opened the system again, placed Su Da's chess piece on Jianyangli, and carried out the commission of "raising war horses".
The system pops up a prompt again:
[The riding slave Su Da uses the item "Dried Grass" to feed Ben Xiao. ]
[The riding slave Su Da uses the item "Fresh Grass" to feed Ben Xiao, and Ben Xiao feels very happy. ]
[The riding slave Su Da synthesized the item "Fresh grass mixed with soybean powder" and fed Ben Xiao, who neighed happily. ]
Su Ze felt that he had discovered some new uses for the system. For people like Su Da who purchased the system from the mall, he could give them simple tasks in person and have them perform them, or he could execute "delegations" according to the functions within the system.
Using the system's "delegation" function, Su Ze can see detailed reports and even obtain some information through the reports, such as Ben Xiao's mood.
Su Da will also use some items automatically. For example, when collecting forage, he will carry his own sickle and backpack, and he will also carry a wooden sign to enter and exit Jianyangli.
Can Sooda perform more complex tasks?
