early morning.
The rooster, brought out by Zhang Qi to complete the task, began to croak.
As the rooster crows, the originally peaceful and peaceful Xianbei Royal Court comes to life.
The gradually fading smoke rose again, and the herdsmen in each yurt were preparing for a new day.
Many of the tasks Zhang Qixin set up required hard work, so over time, the herdsmen here also developed the habit of eating three meals a day.
Although the breakfast is not that rich, the sweet cheese and a pot of hot soup are enough to keep those who work hard full of energy.
Only with strength can a man earn enough work points to support a large family. The earning of work points is very fair. You can get as many work points as you do.
There is no such thing as fraud. God is watching them from heaven. For the faith in their hearts and for a place to go after death, no one who believes in God will play tricks on them.
In addition to the men and women who went out to work, there were also a group of people who also got up early.
A yurt somewhere.
A child of four or five years old swallowed a mouthful of cheese from the hot soup in the bowl. Then he wiped his mouth carelessly and left the seat, carrying a small satchel sewn with animal skin that was at hand.
While carrying his backpack, the child shouted to his parents who were still eating breakfast: "Mom, Dad, I'm going to school."
"Well, go ahead and listen to your teacher in school and don't run around. If I'm caught by my father while patrolling the streets, you'll have to give me a beating!"
The man with a beard and a fierce look was talking to the child.
The child stuck out his tongue and ran out of the yurt quickly.
"This bastard, haha, looks like me!"
As soon as the child left, the man burst out laughing. It was better for the child to be skinnier. The skinnier the child, the better he would grow up healthily.
The woman with a slightly swollen belly on the side had a smile on her face, pushed the man, and cursed with a smile: "I don't know who was so angry last night that she jumped on her feet."
This is a typical distributed family. The man and woman are newly formed families, and the child just now is the child of the woman’s ex-husband.
Although he was not related by blood, the military man did not mind at all. On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised to have a man in his family.
When the woman teased him, the man argued: "That's because he didn't learn well. If he had learned well, I would praise him to heaven!"
"Yes, yes, come on, eat quickly. The Department of Legal Affairs will open the office soon. I've packed your armor for you. This is your first day after you retire. Don't make your boss unhappy by being late."
The woman had the least food in her bowl, and she gave the extra to her men and children.
After breakfast, the woman packed up the leather armor uniformed by the Yamen of the Legal Affairs Department and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on it.
The man looked at his left arm, which was half missing from the elbow, and sighed: "Hey, I was not beaten to death by those grandsons, but half of my arm was cut off. I am also unlucky."
There was a small piece of cheese left in the bowl. The man got up and put on the leather armor that his wife had arranged, hung up his scimitar, put on a wooden hook and walked out of the yurt.
When he came to the door, the man turned back and told the woman: "The severance payment and monthly disability allowance given by your Majesty are enough for our family to eat and drink. Don't go out to do odd jobs during the day. I will take good care of you, you bastard." Also take good care of your baby, I’m still waiting for you to give birth to a big fat boy for me.”
"Yes~ you are the head of the house, and I listen to you. If you don't go out during the day, just walk around in the royal court. Didn't Dr. Hu say last time that you should walk around more?" The woman looked happy, and there was someone who could think for herself. The man couldn't be more lucky.
"Hehe, okay, then I'm on duty. I've left half a piece in the bowl for you to eat. You don't need to share more or less next time. Just eat as much as you can. Your Majesty has never treated us badly with food. Don't worry, you Although my man lost half of his hand, he can still earn food." After that, the man walked out.
"Master, please slow down. Should you have lunch in the office or come home?" The woman came out and asked.
The man laughed twice: "Haha, go home and eat."
"Eh!"
Listening to the man's hearty laughter, the woman leaned against the door and smiled.
As the sun gradually rises, everywhere in the Xianbei Royal Court is filled with the breath of life.
The sound of reading in the school is sweet.
The hard-working miners in the mines are struggling to extract ore.
The cement workshop is filled with thick smoke, nearly 1,000 tons per month.
On the outside of the Daxianbei Mountains, woodcutters holding weapons similar to daggers were cutting down tree branches. Some trees that were used as lumber were also felled in the hands of workers in groups of three and two. The branches were removed and piled up by the river until there were enough. , then let it go down.
In the pasture, herdsmen drove herds of cattle and sheep.
In the farmland, soybeans that are about to mature turn dry and yellow.
Everything is thriving, and everyone has a smile on their face.
In the fields and mountains, touching songs from the grassland can be heard from time to time.
——
Wuhuan.
"Your Majesty, secret message from Liaodong."
It's late August.
Zhang Qi sat in King Wuhuan's tent and looked at the letters Lu Mu collected and purchased from Liaodong.
Knowledge has to be learned, so Zhang Qi spends his free time reading and occasionally practicing martial arts.
"Bring it up."
Zhang Qi put down the blackened bamboo slips and stretched out his hand.
Qinghua respectfully handed a piece of cloth to Zhang Qi's hand.
Opening the cloth, Zhang Qi took one look and then smiled.
"Sure enough, the news has spread to Liaodong, and the plan can be carried out."
"Qinghua, take my seal and go to the web-weaving members in Wuhuanli and tell them to pay close attention to the movements of the grassland. If there is any news of troops, send it back immediately."
"In addition, send a message back to Xianbei. The soybeans should be ripe soon. Let the Public Works Department organize manpower to harvest them. Tell Hui to have him organize manpower to send the cheese and harvested soybeans accumulated in these months to Wuhuan. We are going to pick up people. ."
"promise!"
Qinghua reached out and respectfully took the seal from Zhang Qi, then turned and left.
When Qinghua left, the smile on Zhang Qi's face became even bigger.
In addition to the news about the failure of the Han Dynasty's Mayi plot, the cloth also contained another thing that made him happy.
The shipwrights of the big ships already had an idea. Through activities in Liaodong, Lu Mu found information about a group of craftsmen who had been ordered to go to Chang'an to build ships for Liu Che.
Weaving Net has arranged people to ambush those people on the road they must pass. Although there are official and military escorts, there are not many, so it is not difficult for those who are fighting.
If the plan goes well, Lu Mu can arrange for people to safely escort these craftsmen to Wuhuan in more than a month. Zhang Qi was overjoyed. With the help of these craftsmen, his ocean-going ships can be launched as soon as possible. Sure enough, what is missing? You can find anything if you look for it in the Han Dynasty. No wonder the grassland people like Kou Bian so much. If it were Zhang Qi, he would be a Kou too.
