Great Tang princess

In the Northeast, once it enters the winter, the plow is definitely much easier to use than the horse.

First of all, this thing can be pulled by a donkey or a dog, and the cost itself is much lower than that of a horse, and the speed is not slow at all.

Besides, there are also dogs here now. Years of exchanges and wars between nomadic peoples have allowed a sufficient number of dogs here. This kind of dog will still exist in the future, that is, the Central Asian Shepherd Dog.

But compared to the future, the current Central Asian Shepherd Dog is closer to a wolf in terms of size and personality.

Not only is it strong and strong, but it is also extremely wild and difficult to train.

Relatively speaking, whether it is a Shaanxi fine dog or a Shandong fine dog, it is relatively easy to train in the army.

Of course, once this kind of dog is trained, it is very easy to use whether it is used to pull a sledge or as a military dog ​​on a mission.

When the army was just established here last year, Liu Huang had already asked people to select a group of newborns to raise them. Now they are almost one year old, and their bodies have basically grown up. At the same time, they are well-trained. , A lot more disciplined than those free-range ones.

After talking about the matter here, Liu Huang asked curiously: "Your Highness, that shuttle..."

"It's an airship!"

"Um...the airship, can you make some?"

Li Yuechen smiled: "Why? Want it?"

Liu Huang laughed a little awkwardly: "This... Dongdu Qianniuwei has an air raid reconnaissance brigade. We are waiting for the frontier army, and we often have to face foreign enemies... If we have this thing, we can also..."

"This item is not convenient for you at the moment, so I will send you some hot air balloons." Li Yuechen understood his meaning very well, "In the next few years, I am afraid that the food here will be transported by this airship. The cost of this item is high. At present, it is not possible to equip them in large quantities..."

Hearing such an answer, Liu Huang's originally bright eyes dimmed again: "But this thing is obviously much easier to use than that hot air balloon..."

"You don't know the price of firewood if you are not in charge of the family!" Li Yuechen laughed and taught, "The most important thing at the moment is to open up the connection between the border and the interior. Without food, how to ensure the stability of the territory and how to maintain combat effectiveness?"

"What's more, you have it here, and Qianniuwei and Qingdao also want it... What do you want me to do?"

Liu Huang thought so too, no matter Qianniuwei or the navy over there in Qingdao, they were all brought out by Li Yuechen himself, and the palms and backs of the hands are all fleshy, which is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

On the contrary, it's the soldiers on this side, not the ones led by the princess herself. It stands to reason that if you want to be matched, you should go to that side first.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't underestimate the frontier soldiers. In any case, they all come from the palace system and are my soldiers. But now, we must focus on business." Li Yuechen reassured him, "The current main purpose, The first is to open up wasteland, and the second is to open up traffic. Next, we need to build a hardened road leading from this place to the interior. This project is expected to take about seven or eight years to complete."

Li Yuechen has always believed that if he wants to get rich, he must build roads first.

As long as there is a road connecting the interior, a large number of merchants will be able to come and go in the future, and at the same time, goods and the economy will be able to circulate.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but patted Liu Huang on the shoulder: "You have to know that this place has great potential, and it may become a major grain production base in the future..."

"Yes, His Highness will arrange everything." Liu Huang nodded in agreement.

Li Yuechen looked relieved: "Don't feel uncomfortable. Strictly speaking, this place is not suitable for flying, especially in winter. So hot air balloons are here, and they are mainly used in summer. In winter, you still have to use sledges or let soldiers ski... ..."

"Speaking of which, my subordinates have always been curious, what is the meaning of skiing?"

"Don't ask so many questions at this time, when it snows, I will teach you how to play!" Li Yuechen grinned, revealing a row of white and neat teeth.

Looking at her smile, Liu Huang always felt that this winter would be difficult.

Although I really want to stay with the princess, but I always feel that there seems to be some big move waiting behind her.

……

This is the first time for the children to see such a vast grassland and herds of cattle and sheep. They are very excited to run around on the grassland every day. Looking back, there are large tracts of virgin forest, and they can often hear the obvious roar of beasts.

For these children, this is a very novel experience. Compared with the sea in Qingdao, such an open world is another feeling.

The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep, which is a perfect description for the scene seen here.

Especially now that it is still during the summer vacation, there are still nearly two months for them to experience the local customs here.

Of course, Li Yuechen didn't let these children relax, and from the third day onwards, they started riding horses with Li Yuechen around the foot of the nearby mountain.

Li Yuechen was choosing a place. To teach the soldiers to ski, there must be a suitable teaching place.

In this era, the vegetation coverage rate is extremely high. To ski in the mountains and forests, one must master sufficient skiing skills. Compared with the future, the difficulty must be higher.

In addition, the future army is mainly composed of conscripts, and most soldiers will leave after two years of service, so even for soldiers here, teaching skiing will not be too complicated.

But it's different now. At this time, if there are no accidents, the service period of soldiers will exceed 20 years. During such a long period of time, they have enough time to learn various skills.

The difficulty of skiing in this era is much higher than in the future, so they need to master more skills in training, not just being able to march.

The vegetation coverage in the mountains and forests is very high these days, at least to the extent that they can freely walk through the dense forests.

……

After riding for a few days, I observed a few good places that could be used to make snow trails for teaching, so Li Yuechen gave an order, and the Construction Corps immediately climbed the mountain and began to cut trees according to the route she planned.

The construction corps of nearly 100,000 people is still very efficient in their work. In a few days, according to her request, several wide snow trails were cut.

Li Yuechen chose these places to allow them to adapt gradually from high to low, transitioning from the green way, the blue way, and the underworld a little bit.

When you can slide smoothly on the underworld, you can go skiing in other places.

At the same time, they were asked to open a passage, using wood as a roulette and noose on the top of the mountain, intending to make a simple cable car.

It is impossible to make an electric cable car these days, but at least it is possible to connect a sledge with a rope, and then turn the rope on the top of the mountain, so that the person above can pull the person up through the roulette.

In order to open these roads, in the next period of time, 100,000 people from the Construction Corps joined the battle, and even gunpowder was used. Finally, several satisfactory roads were opened.

The green road is the simplest, with a small slope and is very flat; but from the beginning of the blue road, there are some potholes. Li Yuechen can let them keep the traces of the gunpowder explosion without any modification, and the slope is much steeper.

As for the underworld, it is almost no different from Yexue. At that time, not only will there be a lot of raised or even exposed rocks, but there will also be many trees, not only steeper, but also narrower in width, and there will even be several jumping platforms. Some special terrain.

At the same time, in order to let them see clearly during teaching, stands are set up on both sides of the snow track, so that they can better observe and learn when the time comes.

It can be said that in the next two months, Li Yuechen abruptly built a simple ski resort here.

The children have been running around with her during this time, watching the ski resort being built little by little, but they don't know what she is going to do, they just watch seriously.

Because a lot of explosives were used in the big project during this period, a lot of wild game was hunted during the work.

At the same time, it can be regarded as compressing the living space of a wild beast. For this, Li Yuechen expressed helplessness, but this issue can only be discussed in the future.

……

The weather in the Northeast is getting cold very quickly. Once the summer vacation is over and entering August, you can obviously feel that it is much cooler in the morning and evening.

Sheepskin coats have been sent to everyone, and they are reminded to keep warm.

Fortunately, fireplaces have been used in the barracks nowadays, and even in winter, the temperature inside the house is quite good.

Li Yuechen came to the foot of the mountain on horseback. Seeing that he had come to the engineering structure for two months, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. Next, he was waiting for the snow to fall. This year will be a very fun winter.

During this period of time, the airship was put back to Qingdao first, otherwise it will be put here for a whole winter, and I don’t know if there will be problems due to freezing.

After all, the weather here is not a joke. At least before Li Yuechen came over, electric vehicles had been widely used in many parts of the country, but the Northeast side was still dominated by gasoline vehicles.

When Li Yuechen was young and ignorant, she rented an electric car when she went there to play. At first, the boss persuaded her to rent a petrol car.

But at the time, she thought that the boss just wanted to make more money, and she didn't agree. As a result, in the next two days, she understood the good intentions of the owner of the car rental shop.

The children were also very curious about what their aunt had done so much in the past two months, but they had no time to pester her to ask, because the summer vacation was over and they were about to start school.

There are also classrooms here, and fireplaces are installed to ensure that they can study hard in a relatively warm environment in winter without worrying about the harm of the weather.

At the same time, for other projects here, Li Yuechen actively called on the local villagers to work and receive wages, trying not to let them be idle.

Of course, the wages here are not money, but food to ensure that they will not starve to death in winter.

Although the theme of the military area has been built, there is still a lot of work to be done on the details. Don't worry about not having a job. No matter how many people come, they can find a job.

The content of the work is also very simple, there is no technical content, and it is a bit physical, but for the food, it is worthwhile to be tired. At least when I bring the food home, my wife and children will have happy smiles on their faces.

The northern border is gradually changing...
