"Your Majesty, come on!"
"Here they come, they're coming!"
In the yurt, Zhang Qi wrote some procedures for managing herders.
Outside the door, a person hurriedly ran in.
It was the whistle under Liu Chai's hand, he said breathlessly.
Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. The only ones who could use the word now were Hui and the others.
"Where are you?" Zhang Qi asked happily as he put down the pen and paper.
"Still in the forest, but it only takes half an hour to get out."
You Shao wiped the sweat from his face. He came here first to let the people in the royal court prepare.
Zhang Qi no longer cared about the paper and pen on the desk. He walked out of the yurt and shouted: "Bring me a horse and let him know that his family is coming. The cloth and silk that have been registered and recorded these days have been sorted out and ready to be handed over. .
They had a hard time traveling and traveling, so they had people prepare meals in advance. "
The female soldier brought Zhang Qi's cross-country horse over. Zhang Qi got on the horse and ran towards the Daxingan Mountains.
As soon as he moved, hundreds of knights quickly separated from the royal court and caught up with his back.
After receiving the news, Naqi was also very happy. She and Wang Li were responsible for the trivial matters in the royal court these days. They didn't like internal affairs. In addition, there were female soldiers to coordinate. This month was the most tiring for her. moon.
"Quickly, go and arrange for people to kill cattle and sheep, set up pots to make soup, and prepare cheese for four thousand people. Let all the female soldiers go. If there are not enough people, go to Colonel Wang for secondment. Be sure to catch up with the family. Be prepared before arriving.”
Na Qi also stood up from his desk and gave orders, and then asked two people to sort out all the cloths from the past month and prepare to hand them over to Lu Mu and Hui later.
"Herders are registered here, and supplies are registered over there. Don't mix them up."
The yurt was very busy, and Zhang Qi and the others were about to reach the edge of Daxinganling in nearly an hour.
But there is no need to go in, Hui and the others are heading towards the royal court with a long line of traffic.
Herdsmen, cattle, sheep, and material carts stretched the team for more than ten miles.
Zhang Qi smiled heartily and rode forward.
"You've finally arrived."
He stretched out his arms and hugged Hui Hebo and others on the horse, and the team stopped briefly.
Everyone paid tribute.
"Mr. Lang."
"start."
"Owner."
"."
The herdsmen fell to their knees. Zhang Qi waved his hand and smiled at them: "Get up, people of God, from now on, this will be our home!"
"God bless you, may your master be blessed!"
"."
Everyone was very happy. After a month of trekking, they finally arrived. After hearing Zhang Qi say that this was their new home, a happy smile appeared on everyone's tired faces.
After a while of commotion, Zhang Qi patted Hui on the shoulder and looked up and down.
He nodded and said: "Yes, you are stronger and more stable. It seems that you have grown a lot during this period."
Hui smiled shyly: "I have really grown up during this period. Thanks to Uncle Lu, everything is fine in the camp."
Lu Mu stroked his beard at the side: "Haha, Mr. Hui Lang, please don't be humble. During this period, you have done better than the little old man. Mr. Lang, it is great, very good to have your help!"
Reminiscing about the past, everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles. It was Hui's idea to support war with war, and now Zhang Qi has successfully done it, taking the entire Xianbei grassland into his palms.
It was getting late. After a short pause, everyone set off again. It would take an hour or two to reach the royal court from here. The herdsmen, dragging their families with them, could not reach Zhang Qi and the others at the same speed.
End of reporting time (4 p.m.)
The long motorcade drove into the royal court, and everything was ready to welcome them. Hundreds of delicious broth were boiling in the large iron pot that Zhang Qi brought from the world of riding and cutting.
There was not much room to sit. After all the supplies were delivered to one place, dozens of people gathered around a pot and began to cook.
There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of hot broth after a long journey.
Besides, Zhang Qi is not short of salt, and the flavor in the broth makes people linger.
The place to live had been determined as early as the fifth day after Wang Ting was captured.
The current Xianbei herdsmen's residences have also been reorganized. Three Xianbei yurts are matched with one empty yurt, and these vacant yurts are for these herdsmen who believe in Zhang Qi.
They are devout believers, and with them living under the words and deeds of the Xianbei people, the belief in the gods will soon spread throughout the royal court.
Besides, the grassland people already believed in gods, and what Zhang Qi did was just tie the gods to himself.
After all the herdsmen were settled and the cattle and sheep were sent to the pasture, it was already midnight.
Zhang Qi and the others did not rest, but sat around in the royal yurt to discuss matters.
Bo, Hui, Ying, Yao, Wang Li, Hu Shui, Na Qi, Liu Chai, Lu Mu, Ma San and others were all there.
They can be regarded as Zhang Qi's grass-roots team.
Among them, Wang Li and others are in charge of military affairs, Hui and others are in charge of internal affairs, and even Ma San is now the steward of livestock.
Distributing the cloth that had been prepared long ago, Zhang Qi looked around and spoke slowly.
"Everyone is very tired these days, but that's nothing. The next period of time is what we will really be busy with."
"Lu Mu Ma San, you guys who were kidnapped from the Han Dynasty should know that spring plowing has already begun. It's just that it's bitterly cold here and the snow has not completely melted. But looking at the current situation, it will take another half a month. It’s time to farm.”
Lu Mu nodded: "Lang Jun is absolutely right. If we are like the grassland people and rely entirely on nomadic herding, then in winter, our food will definitely not be enough to feed a population of nearly 30,000."
Regarding farming, Lu Mu has the most say. Although Zhang Qi and the others were also Han slaves, they grew up in the grasslands. If they didn't have a Han grandpa who took care of them, they would have become A true prairie man.
Everyone looked at the cloth that Zhang Qiqi put down. On the cloth, these areas were planned. These were topographic maps that Liu Chai had explored during his month of traveling around.
Wangting is located to the east of Daxingan Mountains, about thirty or forty miles away.
Directly north of the Royal Court, there is a river extending from the Daxinganling Mountains. The river flows all the way to the southeast and merges into the Sanjiang River System like countless rivers on the Northeast Plains.
At this time, the Northeast Plain was full of swamps, and the complex water system made fishing and hunting in this area very prosperous. One disadvantage of fishing and hunting was that the driving force for the transformation to farming was not high, even in semi-modern areas such as Xianbei. The nomadic and semi-cultivating tribes also made a living by nomadic herding, fishing and hunting after arriving here.
