Yang Qian held a wine glass and chatted fluently among hundreds of people.
This is not just a simple chat, but hearing the voices of these people in the crowd.
Although some people's words are not very nice, they are generally pretty good and the atmosphere is very positive.
As long as the atmosphere in a circle is good, it won't be bad.
If a circle is very bad, then it won't be much better.
Everyone ate and drank, and Yang Qian also used part of the money to reward everyone according to their merits. It can be said that everyone was happy.
After everyone left, Lao Chen was left alone by Yang Qian.
Yang Qian picked up the wine gourd, took a sip of medicinal wine, and said casually, "Is everything okay in Zhuangzi?"
Old Chen said seriously, "Well, it's not a big deal at the moment. I will handle the ordinary minor matters first, and then record the documents and hand them over to the mansion."
Yang Gan nodded.
"Remember, anyone who invents something that is effective in farming must not be despised, but must be taken seriously. Whether it is farming or war, it is the foundation of our Yuntong."
Yang Qian looked at him deeply and said earnestly, "Old Chen, you should know what kind of life you lived in the past. There is an undercurrent outside. If I fall, what do you think Zhuangzi, Yuntong County will become like?"
Old Chen thought about it carefully, and suddenly his face was covered with cold sweat. He no longer wanted to go back to his old life. How good his life was now, with endless food and money to spend. Although he did not have his own land, Yun In Tongjun and almost all the heads of Guizhou, there are no common people.
But the county governor's house will allocate land to everyone for farming. As long as you pay the tenant rent, land tax, and poll tax, the rest is yours.
Old Chen cupped his hands and said, "Master, please don't worry."
"As our scale grew, we divided thousands of acres of land into pieces after consulting a few farm students."
"Not only do we fertilize, but we also use crop rotation. This way, the land will never be barren."
"Most of the tenant farmers and slaves made a living by farming, but now many tenant farmers have become responsible, mainly planting valuable crops such as brassicas and cotton."
Yang Gan's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic, "Is the division of labor so detailed now?"
Old Chen laughed and said, "It's nothing. Now there are even tenant farmers who specialize in growing pasture, alfalfa, mushrooms and the like."
"That's why our village has an endless supply of food, rapeseed oil and cotton, as well as pigs, cattle and sheep."
Looking at Zhang Yumeng who was bored, Yang Qian whispered, "How about the slave Zhang Yumeng bought?"
Lao Chen had a weird look on his face, and also whispered, "She seems to have been tricked. I'm always embarrassed to say it. The slave I bought seems to have never eaten."
"I eat more than anyone else. When I work, I feel like I have a physical disability and can't do the work."
Lao Chen glanced at Yang Qian and said cautiously, "Sir, I am telling the truth."
"Huh~~~!"
Yang Qian breathed out heavily, "Okay, that's it. For the slaves Zhang Yumeng will buy in the future, you should put more thought into them and put them in the right place. I believe that no one is perfect and there is always a place that suits them."
"promise!"
After sending Lao Chen away, Yang Qian took the girls back to the fifth floor. At this time, snacks and wine were ready on the fifth floor.
The generals sat on the dining table one by one, watching the actors' wonderful performances.
When they saw Yang Qian coming, everyone stood up and raised their hands to Yang Qian.
Coming to a dark-skinned young man, Yang Gan patted him hard on the shoulder.
The latter grimaced in pain.
"Mi Le, you boy, why have you turned dark after not seeing me for so long?"
Mi Le said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, the sun is too bright at the border, so there is nothing we can do about getting tanned."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone burst into laughter.
All the border generals sat on the food table.
see together
After fighting in Paoze, Yang Gan felt a little more casual.
Before Yang Qian could say anything, everyone held their hands.
"Welcome Your Majesty to your triumphant return."
Yu Zuo said respectfully, "Your Majesty, our army only had more than a dozen casualties this time. It is truly a great victory."
"Yeah, I've never fought such an easy battle."
...
Yang Gan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Isn't a dozen people dead a lot? Aren't a dozen people human? This is a warrior I have trained to fight in a hundred battles. Even if one of them dies, it makes me feel bad."
Yang Qian picked up the wine gourd and took two sips, feeling excited inside.
"This great victory was actually expected, but it was unexpected. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
"It's a good plan. I planned it for a long time, but I only managed to capture Dongguo and other counties. It would be good for Xiaguo to destroy them. It's a pity that the family members didn't take the bait. I underestimated them."
Ran Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this aristocratic family has been stationed in the vassal country for a long time. The tree is big and has deep roots, so it is not easy to uproot it."
Yang Gan sneered, "They are lucky."
After saying that, he changed the topic and said in a weird tone, "I have always heard that some people love money, love women, and love power, but I have never met anyone who loves to jump into traps."
"I set up a trap, and the guy in the trap didn't jump, but the guy who didn't want to be trapped jumped in. It's really going to make people laugh."
"Hahahaha~~~!"
Everyone laughed. Regarding the matter of Young Master Jie, they knew that he was a stupid guy and was almost the object of ridicule among these upper-level generals when they met.
"Mi Le, how is the situation on the grassland recently?"
Mi Le cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the grassland has been relatively peaceful recently, but the land under our jurisdiction is always only a thousand miles away. The small tribes on the grassland are like the princes crossing the river, so many that we can't even count them."
As if he thought of something, Yang Gan took the pork shop, took a bite and said, "I heard from Tian Zong, are there Huns in the Western Regions?"
Mi Le smiled and said, "I have already spoken with General Tian Zong on the phone, and I have to say, this is a divine thing."
"According to your route, when you go to Lake Baikal, you can actually travel from the west of Lake Baikal to the Western Huns."
After saying this, Mi Le paused.
After Yang Qian took a few sips of medicinal wine, he said displeasedly, "We are all warriors. If you have something to say, say it quickly and if you have something to say, let it go. Don't be like those well-educated people who say half a sentence and leave half a sentence behind."
Mi Le nodded and said, "There are almost no nomads on the grassland who are our opponents. In addition, we have domesticated many tribes, which is a prosperous scene."
"It's just that I heard some small nomadic tribes mention that there is a powerful nomadic people three thousand miles away from us."
Yang Ganqi said, "Didn't you just say that going west from Lake Baikal is the Western Huns?"
"But there are thousands of miles in between that we have never explored, and we don't even know the name of that nation."
Yang Gan waved his hand and said, "I already have a general understanding of the map over there. We will strengthen the defense of the external strongholds. If necessary, we can recruit local herders who have no property."
Mi Le looked at Yang Qian in surprise, not understanding what he meant at all.
As if sensing the doubts in Mi Le's heart, Yang Gan smiled and said, "Give them food, drink, cattle and sheep, but don't give them real power or status. These people who are happy to join us are just tools to consume the enemy's flesh and blood, and the lives of our Xia Kingdom men." Very valuable."
"As the saying goes, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. Learning more about unknown tribes and expanding information sources will definitely benefit our safety and future layout."
Mi Le's eyes lit up and he immediately accepted the offer.
All the generals were appeased, with rewards for merit and punishment for mistakes.
Only when rewards and punishments are appropriate can people be convinced.
After the show.
Shi Yuanji was a little puzzled as he rode on the war horse. He was once majestic, but now he was a little fat, and it became extremely difficult to ride a horse.
Good or not
After easily getting on the horse, Shi Yuanji led dozens of guards back the way they came. After all, he still had strict control over the safety of the slave camp.
Just as he was about to leave the village, a man in a green shirt walked out, carrying an iron sword at his waist.
Shi Yuanji was stunned for a moment when he saw that the decoration on the sword was different from ordinary decorations.
At this time, the soldiers shouted loudly, "Who is that in front? Why are you stopping us, Master Shi?"
When the moonlight shone over, Shi Yuanji saw clearly who was coming, quickly turned over and dismounted, and saluted with sweaty hands.
"Last general, see General Ran."
Many soldiers were also stunned. Although they obeyed Shi Yuanji's orders, their long-term reading, literacy and training made them understand that they were always loyal to their country, nation and Lord Wu'an.
Shi Yuan was always on tenterhooks. In the past, when we had dinner together, Mr. Wu An would inevitably ask him questions.
But today, he didn't even look at himself. Could it be that he didn't do something well?
To be honest, today's meal was very delicious, and there were many rare delicacies from the mountains and seas.
But in Shi Yuanji's words, these are just like chewing wax. If you have something on your mind, you must be uneasy.
Ran Jing took Shi Yuanji to the conference room at the back, and saw Yang Gan with his back to the two of them.
A map as large as a wall appeared before his eyes. It was so shocking that even Ran Jing was startled.
The two looked carefully at the places recorded above, the Xiongnu, Jie Clan, and Yuezhi Clan. These places were occupied by brackets at the back.
Below are Daxia, Shangguo, Liaoguo, Xingguo, and very small countries, and some have names that the two of them have never seen before.
When they saw the location east of Xia Kingdom, the two of them trembled suddenly. They saw the name of Goguryeo written in red paint, and it looked like the smell of blood was coming.
Shi Yuanji took a deep breath and cupped his hands.
"The last general Shi Yuanji, please see Lord Wu An."
Yang Gan crossed his arms and his voice was slightly low.
"Have you seen this map?"
Shi Yuanji was stunned and said cautiously, "I saw it."
"Old Shi, do you see many places without names on the entire map?"
Shi Yuanji took a glance and found that the entire Central Plains plus the large land in the north seemed to only account for a tenth of the map.
