"Perhaps it's due to human consumption?"
Fang Fang shrugged. The content of the bulletin was a briefing. It only had answers but no process, but it did not prevent Fang Fang from speculating with the greatest malice.
"If this really happens, the internal conflicts among the Jurchens will become even greater!" Xiaohu lamented.
As a soldier of Zeng Jin, he could lose the war, but Xiaohu couldn't accept being betrayed.
"Whatever, you have time to think about this, why don't you think about how to spend the next half month!"
The first wave of the Jurchen offensive failed, and no one on the grassland responded. The vicinity of Guangchang is very safe, and the first phase of Qinggutun is about to be completed. There is no need for the equation in a short time, and there is no need to return to the previous chapter.
Hearing this, Xiaohu's expression froze.
Yes, they are planning to stay until the first phase is completed and Qinggu Tun is opened before going back. So what will he do in the next half month?
"How about we go to the wasteland and play?"
Wasteland refers to all undeveloped pastures. It does not necessarily mean that it is not developed at all. It may also be that people who developed it have retreated.
"You go, I'll give you a day off, so I won't suffer this crime!" Fang Fang smiled.
"Forget it!"
"No, I still want to try yellow mutton. If you don't go, where can I eat it?"
Yellow sheep are treasures in the wilderness, and their meat is far more delicious than ordinary lambs.
Mutton can be eaten in all seasons, but in terms of taste, the taste is somewhat lost after May and before September, especially for yellow sheep.
If you want to eat, you have to eat quickly.
"Then I'll go out for a few days!"
Xiaohu couldn't sit still for a long time, but he just couldn't find an excuse. Now that the excuse is ready, how can he take it back?
"Go away, take more people with you. I'll give you seven days. Don't cross the border. You'll come back when the time is up!" Fang Fang waved his hand in disgust.
It’s not safe on the grassland, so where should we look?
Qinggutun has been developed for three months, and people are coming and going. The wild beasts in the nearby hundreds of miles have long been frightened away. The Hushi in the north is open. Whoever dares to cause trouble at this time will offend not the Wu Dynasty, but the Hushi. of various ministries.
Where can't I go with a group of twenty or thirty people?
…
As time goes by, during the months when merchants are waiting for the merchants to go north again, the grassland climate is getting hotter and hotter, and the water plants are growing more and more abundantly.
After Xiaohu led the team to pick up three yellow sheep and several pheasants from the wilderness, many people in the team could no longer sit still and led the team deep into the wilderness. From time to time, wild products that were so authentic that they could not be seen in the authentic were caught. bring back.
Seeing that the weight is about to be out of control, the equation is added.
Really fat!
In the season when the grass grows and the orioles fly, the wilderness is really fat. There are plump prey everywhere, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the grass. As long as you have the means, you will not have to worry about getting food from the wilderness. After passing During a long winter, people and animals are all frantically looking for supplements for themselves.
In addition, the second and third phases of mutton contracts were sold, and the continuous success repeatedly stimulated everyone.
"Master Fang!"
"Master Fang, you're back!"
At dusk, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the entrance of Qinggu Tun. Many people came out of the towering stone gate and cheered, thinking about the direction of the setting sun.
"Extra meal tonight!"
Several riders rushed into the entrance first, leaving dozens of prey at the door, followed closely by Fang Fang and others on their horses.
The prey brought there is definitely not enough, but the most important thing in Qinggu Tun is cattle and sheep. Many herdsmen who know that sheepherders are recruited here have already gathered here with their few belongings. Once the cattle and sheep are sold, they follow their owners. In the grassland, there is hope again in a year that was originally hopeless.
Compared with the recommended price given by the trading market, the merchants who rent the grassland, in order to put the grassland into use as soon as possible, directly affect the market, a herdsman with six or seven people in a family can easily earn 20 to 30 yuan a year. If you spend seven or eight taels of silver to buy something at the household market, your life will be worry-free throughout the year.
This resulted in the cattle and sheep gathered near Qinggutun being unable to finish eating.
After a short period of fun, everyone dispersed. With enough food, even without the help of large engineering equipment, all kinds of construction was still fast.
Above the valley, a series of defensive stone towers rose from the ground, monitoring the situation in the mountain road from a high position.
The tall one is eleven to twelve meters and is about to be topped out, while the short one is only six or seven meters and is already being guarded. It is not a spacious entrance in the first place, and three stone walls have been erected. Anyone who wants to enter Qinggu Tun has to stand in front of it. In this diversion, cattle and sheep have special passages leading directly to the slaughtering grounds in the valley.
"In another ten days, merchants will be able to move in!"
After three days of hunting, the second largest gate at the entrance has been built. It is one finger thick and divided into three sections. The two sides are bolted to the stone tower, and the widest part in the middle is lifted into the air by eight iron cables. When the iron rope is cut off, the entire iron door panel will fall heavily, blocking possible enemies.
It's cumbersome, and the angles of attack and defense are of little significance, but I can't stand the domineering look and feel safe in sight.
Merchant, you know nothing about military affairs, just feel comfortable in your heart.
The Han people who really understand war will not be allowed to appear in the Northland. Even if they appear and see it, successful big businessmen will not believe that the defense institutions they see with their own eyes are useless.
"Yes, it will be open in another ten days!"
Climbing up the stairs, a wider valley appears before you. The large houses have been capped, leaving only the interior decoration.
The construction of the entire valley is high in the west and low in the east, and the spatial heights are staggered. After the completion of the third phase, in addition to the main road in front of you, there will be four north-south roads. The low-lying one is a warehouse at the beginning, facing the entrance to the main street, and the high-lying one in the west. The land is used as a residence, and it is no problem for three to four thousand people to stay permanently. Even in winter, people can stay on the west side.
Walking all the way to the central trading hall, the interior decoration of the trading hall has been completed early. Through simple design, it has already shown the effect desired by the equation.
The 300-square-meter hall has a row of trading counters on the north side, with eighteen counters, where merchants can complete all the procedures they want.
There is a foothold on the west side.
Due west, it was painted black and contained the data needed for recording.
As for the second and third floors, there are long private rooms, and there are separate restaurants and tea rooms on each floor. People who are not qualified cannot go up at all.
Simple, simple, but without losing privacy, Fangfang believes that this model of reducing the number of users will soon be liked by everyone.
"Master Fang, are you back?"
Shang Zhong wore a red vest, ran down the stairs and appeared in front of Fang Fang.
"I'm back. Is there no problem with training these days?"
Looking at the vest on Shang Zhong, not to mention that it is really eye-catching. In order to distinguish the staff, they did not get any nameplates, but they got a four-color vest.
For example, the red vest on Shang Zhong represents the market management. There are red, cyan, yellow, and gray.
Cyan is the waiter, yellow is the trader, and gray is the auxiliary staff, so that merchants can see at a glance what these people can provide them.
"No problem, the training masters are all senior, and they want to go home as soon as possible. We also recruited the twenty traders from various families. They are capable enough to cope with it. Of course, the key is loyalty!" Shang Zhong laughed! road.
