"Your Majesty, I, we want to be insiders, not outsiders."
"Yes, in this world, we no longer have any relatives, and even our clan members are under your command. If you continue to treat us as outsiders, we really have no reason to live."
Nina sighed slightly, "You are the winner, we just want to be safe and be your trophies."
Yang Gan is not a twenty-year-old boy who can't walk when he sees a woman.
However, since the words were brought to this level, Yang Qian could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Do you want to be my concubine?"
The three women nodded in unison. The Central Plains people of this era did not take the relationship between men and women as seriously as later generations, let alone the nomads.
Yang Gan smacked his lips, Zhang Yumeng was right, he did dislike Mosha Shi and Nina, both of them had given birth to children, right?
Even if I am Yu Zhuzi, I really don’t care about women, so why would I accept these three as my concubines?
At this time, Mu Qing smiled and said, "Becoming an outsider will make the family more harmonious, and it will also help the court have fewer excuses. It's not like you can't afford to support three people. You still have the final say in the future. It's just a status." .”
After Yang Qian heard this, he sighed silently.
"I understand. Let's see how you perform during this tour. By the way, don't stick to me all day long. I'm not a cripple. Do you understand?"
Yang Qian experienced how uncomfortable it was to have three people wash his face and brush his teeth.
I feel like a seriously ill patient after surgery, or the kind of person who can't take care of himself.
Yang Gan's words made the three girls instantly ecstatic.
After cleaning up the dining area.
Yang Gan sat by the canal without water, smoking silently.
"Tap tap tap~~~!"
"Hey, I got three girls for you, why aren't you happy?"
Zhang Yumeng pulled the hem of his clothes in disgust and sat on the stone next to Yang Qian.
Yang Qian threw away the cigarette and gave it to Zhang Yumeng, saying speechlessly, "I can understand that ancient people gave their husbands concubines, but why do you do the same? Aren't you jealous?"
Zhang Yumeng blew out a smoke ring and said scornfully, "Hey, are you still aggrieved? Is it useful for me to be jealous?"
"Look, there are so many women in the carriage. If you are really jealous, can I come over?"
Yang Gan sneered and said, "Tsk, there are only a few people who have anything to do with me. Xiao Siyuan, Wan'er, and Xiao Yu have nothing to do with me."
"Hey, it's good to have more women anyway. At least I can find someone when I go shopping. Asking you to go shopping with me is like killing you."
Yang Qian instantly felt bitter.
"Are you going shopping? Are you doing cultivation?"
The thought of going shopping with Zhang Yumeng made Yang Qian feel bad.
Yang Gan threw away the cigarette butt and took Zhang Yumeng back to the car.
The whole convoy started to set off.
Perhaps because he was very concerned about this canal, Yang Gan specifically ordered Ran Jing to record the length of the entire canal according to the marching speed.
Maybe it was because the sun was too gentle now, so Yang Gan fell into a deep sleep on the swaying carriage.
The canal itself is right next to the river and there are huge fields nearby.
But what is grown here is not food, but by-products.
For example, cash crops such as brassicas, alfalfa, and cotton.
As long as you can harvest one season, you will earn a huge amount of money.
Now in the North, almost all transportation is by land.
There is a lot of pressure on land transportation, such as one hundred cars.
That would require at least a hundred cows or horses.
A cow needs to eat 15% of its own body weight in food a day, and the average cow weighs more than 500 kilograms.
That one cow eats about 75 kilograms of food in a day.
The average horse needs to eat 15 to 20 kilograms of food.
For a convoy of 100 people, if there are fifty oxen and fifty horses each,
Then one day's fodder will consume about 4,500 kilograms, which is calculated on the small side.
Although caravans also carry baggage, they often supply supplies on the spot when passing through other counties and county towns.
But we must also know that the local market is not static, and there are also communication problems.
You thought you were getting a fixed amount for a meal, but when you get to the place and see that the price has increased by 20%, you can only hold your nose and admit it.
Therefore, although doing business in ancient times was very profitable due to the relationship between supply and demand, the risks were also very high.
Even in the face of unpredictable events such as natural disasters, caravans often find after a few months of travel that not only they have not made any money, but they have actually lost money.
But once the canal is opened, the situation will be completely different.
You only need to transport the goods to the dock, and after shipment, you can drive directly to the destination and move them down.
What does this cost? It’s nothing more than some coolie money and boat rental money.
And water transportation is faster than land transportation.
Yang Gan made a calculation and found that it was a place that could be reached by both land and water transportation.
The longer the distance, the cheaper water transportation is, and the cost is even only one-twentieth or one-twenty-fifth of that of land transportation.
If you have a lot of goods, you can even reduce the shipping cost to one-thirtieth.
What followed were horrific gains.
If we follow the current analogy, if you rent a store and the rent is 10,000 yuan a month, your monthly net profit can be around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is already very good.
But if your store rent is only 500, 400, or even 350 per month.
Earning this money is no different from picking up money.
This is a store with good profits. Some stores rent for 10,000 yuan and have a net profit of 15,000 yuan. That’s just messing around.
He can't even feed himself.
If the rent is reduced to only 500 per month, then you can almost make as much as you sell.
Not everyone is good at farming and breeding. With a dock, you can support a large number of landless tenant farmers. Why not?
Even Yang Qian's kindness allowed Zhang Yumeng to come up with some tools to save energy and save him from diseases in old age.
While thinking and sleeping, Yang Qian seemed to be in a dream.
There is a lot of traffic in the city, and there is a constant flow of traffic. Outside the city is a busy dock, and all kinds of goods are constantly being trafficked.
In the distance is a large area of golden grain. At a glance, the sky and the earth are the same color.
Yang Qian lay directly on the land full of wheat ears, smelling the earthy crops.
In a world where people cannibalize people, is there any happier scene than a field full of food?
The air circulation inside the carriage was smooth, everyone was chatting with each other, and some were playing cards.
At a seat, Xiao Siyuan still took the trouble to warn her daughter that she must be careful when getting along with animals.
Wan'er showed an expression of impatience typical of adolescent girls.
"Look."
I don’t know who said it.
Everyone looked at the glass window on one side.
I saw acres and acres of farmland outside, and farmers had grown out of it. They were lush and green at this time. What was shocking was that the area of these farmlands was almost endless.
Zhang Yumeng put down the tablet blankly and stared blankly at everything in front of him, feeling a burst of excitement and shock in his heart.
She had never thought that vast fields of farmland could make her so excited.
Looking at the fields outside, Mu Qing murmured, "No wonder Yang Gan sleeps with the corners of his mouth raised."
Zhang Yumeng looked out the window and seemed to mutter to himself, "He said that without food, there is no sense of security. With food, you have everything."
Xiao Yu stood up, his eyes full of shock. Although many of the documents he reviewed were related to farming, he had never seen such a large area of planting with his own eyes.
She clenched her fists. No wonder the young master was so concerned about the canal. Even though he had decided to allocate food, grass, money, and slaves,
.
But no matter what the water tiger asked for, he would try his best to satisfy it.
The young master is born in the year of Pixiu and can hardly get in or out, but as long as it is for infrastructure facilities, farming and water conservancy, if others know how fast this money is spent.
I am afraid that it will make the kings of the vassal states take a breath of cold air.
Everyone looked at Yang Qian, who was sleeping soundly with his arms folded.
Except for Zhang Yumeng, almost all the women felt a sense of heartache.
A child with a yellow mouth who was only ten years old could actually do something that many princes and kings could not do.
Use those shoulders that are not broad to carry the burden of a county and even resist foreign enemies.
Xiao Siyuan's face was complicated. She was born and understood the importance of food better than anyone else.
In the past, my father went on an expedition and the war had just begun. When food and grass could be supplied, there would naturally be no problem.
But as the war drags on, it will be a blessing to have a bite of wheat bran, let alone corn.
Only those who have truly experienced a war can understand its meaning.
Wan'er said to Xiao Siyuan, "Mom, Your Majesty is so amazing. Can you eat all the food you have?"
Before Xiao Siyuan could say anything, Cao Wushuang said.
"These are the auxiliary crops Yang Gan said."
"What are accessory crops?"
"Accessory crops are crops that cannot be eaten directly but are closely related to life, such as alfalfa, which can be eaten by livestock and can feed war horses, cattle and sheep."
"Like the newly introduced cotton, after it blooms, you can stuff the white cotton into your clothes and you won't feel the cold when you go out in winter."
"And Yuncai."
Wan'er wondered, "Yuncai? What is that?"
Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "Have Wan'er ever eaten fried pork chops?"
Wan'er's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, "I have eaten it. The fried pork chops in Zhuangzi are so delicious. With the delicious and fragrant sauce, I have never eaten anything so delicious in my life."
Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "That's right. Brassicae is also called rapeseed flower. It is full of rapeseed. One hundred kilograms of rapeseed can produce more than 40 kilograms of rapeseed oil."
"With this oil, we can eat stir-fried vegetables, fried pork chops, fried chicken chops and many other delicacies."
"Did your Majesty come up with it?"
"Yes."
Wan'er couldn't help but widen her eyes, "It's really amazing. No wonder I said, why the food that Yuntong eats is different from what we eat there."
This is actually a trick of Yang Gan, who can not only eat stir-fried vegetables.
As the old saying goes, a person's appetite is different if there is no oil and water in the stomach and if there is oil and water in the stomach.
