The half-grown tiger was in Yang Qian's hands, tilting his head with an expression of enjoyment.
Erhu: Wuwuwu, this person is too scary. I am not moved or touched. No one can save me. I am waiting online. It is very urgent...
Zhang Yumeng happily played the stand-alone version of Fruit Crush on the tablet and complained.
"You don't even look at what it was like before. They were always tied up, either sleeping or eating. Fortunately, there were little tiger cubs to bathe them and walk them. When it comes to raising pigs, I would like to call you the strongest."
"When I come back next time, I have to ask Krisna to take good care of them, otherwise it will be troublesome and it will be difficult to find a veterinarian~~!"
Fortunately, the four pets all have sachets hanging around their necks, and they take regular baths, so there is almost no odor. Yang Qian remembers going to the zoo as a child in his last life, and the smell of the tiger park rushed directly into his eyes. It was spicy. The eyes are full of smell.
Zhang Yumeng looked at Yang Gan and said with some uncertainty, "Do you really think you can go to the battlefield to rob people? If, I mean, if many soldiers cannot be cured, we will have no room for money and food for this expedition. Reimbursement."
Yang Qian threw Erhu aside and lay directly on its soft belly, swaying on his feet.
"Do you know how much food Zhuangzi has this time plus the military fields?"
"How many?"
"I'm afraid the specific figures are not very convincing. Let me tell you this. The land that can be cultivated in Juntian and Zhuangzi alone has reached 2,000 hectares, or 200,000 acres, and land reclamation is still continuing."
"This time, the grain from other families does not count, and the taxes do not count, but the grain income of these two places is as high as 1.8 million shi. Tsk tsk tsk. This year, Lao Gao and Lao Chen are busy building granaries, otherwise they won't be able to store the food. "
The corners of Zhang Yumeng's mouth twitched fiercely, "I don't even understand what you say."
Yang Gan said angrily, "You are stupid. I calculated that the entire Yuntong County has a population of one million. If calculated on a per capita basis, each person can account for 216 kilograms."
Seeing Zhang Yumeng's confused face, Yang Qian quickly took a sip of water and analyzed.
"In our Han Dynasty, the per capita grain was 533 kilograms."
"In the Tang Dynasty, the average per capita weight should be around 1,000 kilograms."
"In the Song Dynasty, it was about 1,200 kilograms."
Zhang Yumeng said with a confused face, "You are so embarrassed to say that everyone weighs about 1,000 pounds, and the worst one weighs 500 pounds. What do you have to show off at 216 pounds?"
Yang Gan scratched his head hard, "You are stupid, that is someone else's annual output, I am only doing it for one season, and I am still opening up wasteland. In other words, my per capita ration should be 432 kilograms, but Yuntong County 70% of the population are slaves of the three races.”
"Do I need to give them delicious food? No need at all. Just like potatoes, things that are not easy to preserve are given to slaves first so that they can be preserved. Things like corn, corn, etc. are put directly into the warehouse, and I will let the slaves Are you full? Keep yourself alive, a little strength is enough."
"If it weren't for the fear that the slaves would run away, there wouldn't be 2,000 hectares of land today."
"It doesn't seem that big to me. When did you cultivate so much land?"
"The slaves of the three tribes are not good at farming, so they have to open up wasteland. Ten thousand slaves form a formation. Whoever works the most every day in each formation will be rewarded with two more potatoes."
"They have one day off per month, and food and wine are provided on the rest day. Do you think they work hard? If they are ranked first for three consecutive months, they can still play as female slaves."
Zhang Yumeng pouted, "It's so miserable for women here, Yang Gan, can't you make the female slaves live a better life? For example, let some obedient female slaves marry us Central Plains people. This can also increase the population, right?"
Yang Qian let out a long sigh, "Do you still think that in the last life, everyone was looking for a foreigner to be their wife, just five to six of them? Finding a foreign husband is like smoke coming from an ancestral grave. Things are different these days."
"Even the most ordinary Central Plains people have a sense of superiority towards foreign races, because their cultural level is very low, and the Central Plains culture is prosperous. In their eyes, foreign races are not the same kind of creatures as themselves."
"For example, the way those people marry on the grassland, when the father dies, he marries his woman, and even the weirder tribes will marry their own mothers. You said that such a custom, how could the Central Plains people recognize it, or even think that they are Beast."...
"Under such an environment, even in the head of Guizhou, slaves will not marry foreign women. If they are concubines, female slaves on the grassland are unruly and may cause some trouble, so I have nothing to do for the time being. We can only focus on ideological construction.”
Zhang Yumeng tilted her lips and shook her head, "I really can't figure it out. In fact, there are a lot of mixed races among the Huns. Some women look like white people. They look so beautiful. Are their aesthetic tastes so different?"
Yang Gan sneered and said, "What do we usually call foreigners?"
"foreigner?"
"anything else?"
"foreign devil."
"Isn't this necessary? My ancestors were the first to see the appearance of foreigners and the nicknames they called them. They felt that they must not be in line with the aesthetics of the time."
Seeing the contented look on Yang Gan's face, Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but lean over and rub Erhu's belly.
"Okay, just don't show me anything too cruel."
Zhang Yumeng is convinced. Yang Qian has a very clear understanding of some ancient things. Although he is usually very funny, once he encounters a war or an enemy, his heart is as solid as a rock. No matter how the enemy pleads for mercy, he will always Killed in minutes.
The convoy set off at a speed of about 70 miles a day and arrived at Yanggu Pass today. During the day's rest, Yang Gan needed to establish a good relationship with his father, Bo Chao, so as not to get into trouble when there was no way out.
I remember when I was a child, I watched "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Luo Cheng died in a really aggrieved way. When he returned to the city, he was locked out and shot to death.
Watching a lot of historical dramas has the advantage of knowing how to trick others and how to prevent others from tricking me, but there are also disadvantages. I always feel that there are unruly people who want to harm me, and I don’t feel at ease about anything.
The next day, as he was preparing to set off, Yang Qian couldn't help but glance at the pass, as if he was looking at a non-existent figure.
After observing for a while, Yang Qian was a little disappointed. It was really inconvenient. If there was a phone, it could be done with just one phone call. Even if there was no phone, it would be nice to have a BB machine.
"Brother Zai, let's say goodbye~~~!"
Zaifu Bochao smiled heartily, "Brother Yang, if there is anything cheap in the future, remember to take care of brother."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Yang Gan gave an "I understand" look and got into the carriage. His father-in-law, Bochao, touched his chin and looked at Ba Shi. When he met Yang Gan for the first time, he gave him a lot of food and grass.
Although there were only a few hundred soldiers during the second meeting, there were war horses. Even an injured war horse was a good thing. If it could be healed, it would be a great war horse.
If he dies, it will be a meal of meat. Not every army has as many war horses as Yang Gan.
Yang Gan now has so many war horses that he can no longer keep them, so he can only raise them outside the pass. Otherwise, the land within the pass alone cannot support so many war horses.
Of course, Tian Zong also suggested to himself that the war horses be allowed to be raised by the tribes of the three tribes, but Yang Qian did not agree. That is what he said. After confiscating the war horses and weapons of the nomads, they were not even qualified to fight against the five scum.
People who are not from my race still have to be careful. Tian Zong has no choice but to hire a group of people who yearn for life in the Central Plains and the Yeli tribe to go herding. Together with some Xia soldiers, so far, it is peaceful.
When the entire team was about to assemble, a carriage slowly appeared from behind. The driver came to the pass and handed over the customs ultimatum before letting them go.
Generally, inspections are only required when entering customs, but not when exiting customs, unless it is in a state of combat readiness.
The carriage stopped near the pass, and a beautiful woman opened the curtains and looked behind curiously.
When she saw thousands of cavalry, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Is this another war?"
"Do you know whose cavalry this is?"
The coachman took a look, shook his head and said, "The garrison here does not have such good armor. Look at how they have two horses.
It should be Yuntong's border cavalry. "
"Oh? Yuntong? Why did you know it was from Yuntong?"
The beautiful woman seemed to have thought of something.
The coachman didn't know what she was thinking, and continued, "I heard that Yuntong County, under the auspices of their county governor, has endless food. No matter what kind of soldiers they are, each one has a suit of armor. The defenders at Yanggu Pass only wear Leather armor, only the iron armor worn by Yuntong soldiers."
"Then do you know who the governor of Yuntong County is?"
The coachman smiled and said, "Then how do I know? I just listened to some merchants in the tea shop."
"lets go."
"okay."
From Yanggu Pass to the place where the two countries fought, there were hundreds of miles. The scouts had already explored the smoothest road. Although it was still muddy, it was at least walkable.
It's just that the speed that used to be able to walk 70 miles a day has dropped sharply to only about 40 miles a day. On better roads, it may be possible to go up to 60 miles.
After ten days, the entire army finally arrived at the border between Shang and Liao.
The view from here is endless, but there are mountains and water in the distance. Overall, 60% of the ground is plain, which is suitable for large-scale field battles and ambushes.
"General, do you need to set up camp?"
Gu Weiqi's voice reached the carriage. He had been at the border and it was only after the expedition that he was summoned.
"Where do you think it's appropriate to camp?"
Gu Weiqi observed with the telescope for a while, pointed to a place in the distance and said, "There is a good highland in the west. My subordinates think we can set up camp on the highland. According to the scout report, there happens to be running water nearby."
I saw a figure wearing black and gold armor and a mask walking out of the carriage. In an instant, all the soldiers beat their chests in front of him.
In normal times, Yang Qian looked too much like a young man, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a woman because of his delicate and beautiful face.
