Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 396
In a society with a strict hierarchy like the Tang Dynasty, a higher title is not only about money, but more importantly, status and identity.

"Come with me." Liu Mu waved at Baoqin.

Inside the house, Liu Mu took out a few pencil drawings. The drawings were not very good, but the meaning was about the same.

"Many, many years ago. 6000 million years ago, do you know what is 6000 million years ago?" Liu Mu asked Baoqin.

Baoqin replied: "Counting from now forward, 6000 million years ago, I know that 600 years ago was the Han Dynasty."

"Yes, there were ancient giant beasts in that era. The smallest one was bigger than a horse, and the largest one was estimated to be more than ten feet. It might look like this." Liu Mu showed Baoqin the picture.

Baoqin took the paper and looked at it: "It doesn't feel too fierce."

"A ten-foot-long monster, how does it feel when you hit it with its tail?"

Baoqin didn't answer the feeling of being slapped on the tail by a ten-foot-long giant beast, but said: "What are you talking about, Mr. Lang, can this thing be eaten?"

"No, but if you take people to dig out the bones of this thing, and then pull them back and put them together like the skeletons of cattle and sheep, and present them to the saints, you will basically have your country lord. The location is probably in Luoyang Southeast to the east of Yiyang County, remember to dig along the direction of the water flow."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he gave a skeleton diagram.

Only then did Baoqin get serious: "Such a huge beast."

"There are small ones. Let's dig them up and sell them to wealthy households in Chang'an. The princess wrote a handwritten letter to His Royal Highness King Qin. There is General Qu Tu in Luoyang. You take the three little girls up to watch the excitement. By the way, we will send you a letter from Ye Qing." Si Niang will send some people there to clean up the remaining evil."

Baoqin nodded, her eyes never leaving the skeleton diagram.

At this time, Baoqin believes that once such a giant skeleton is completely dug out, it will definitely shock the world.

"Don't conscript, spend money to hire people to help, but the rules must be strict."

"Whoever steals a bone will cut off his hand." Baoqin said viciously.

"Don't worry, ordinary people can't steal it away. A toe is only this long..." Liu Mu gestured that it was a foot long.

"Let's confirm the location again."

What Liumu told Baoqin was the approximate location of Hongling Village in Ruyang in later generations. Liumu didn't know what the village was called at the moment, so Baoqin could only let Baoqin send more people to dig it out.

Right now it is the slack time for farming, and there are enough people idle.

Baoqin immediately began to make preparations. She first went to Chang'an to ask Qin Wang Li Shimin to issue a transfer order and lend her two hundred female cavalry.Li Shimin was very generous and directly sent 500 people to Baoqin. These female cavalry soldiers were basically idle. After the death of Princess Pingyang, these people were all loyal to Princess Pingyang.

They live near the tomb of Princess Pingyang, and practice farming every day for five days, and they still haven't taken away their weapons and armor.

Liu Mu went to Sanyuan North.

There are already 5000 Fubing here, and these people have a half-day task every day, responsible for guarding the monks and coolies to build roads.After the task is to run, all kinds of running.

Short-distance obstacle course, ten-mile light run, twenty-mile weight-bearing run, ten-mile cross-country weight-bearing run, running with a log on your back, and running with a stone on your back.In short, it is running, running every day.

When Liu Mu arrived, Su Dingfang greeted him: "Sir, are you in the mood to come and see the road construction? Or come and see the new servant's training?"

"Neither, pick 3000 people for the mission. This time is hard work, but the rewards are extremely generous. Thousands of people prepare armor, and the rest transport a large number of excavation equipment to prepare for travel. The goal is Luoyang. Wait until Luoyang and then spend money to hire young adults who are slack. , I’m going to dig up a mountain and bring back some good things.”

"Dig what?" Su Dingfang asked.

Liu Mu took out the skeleton drawing from his sleeve and handed it to Su Dingfang: "The ancient giant beast, I told Baoqin that it was ten feet long, but it should be six or seven feet long and two feet tall when it is dug out."

Su Dingfang didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Brother Lie?"

"Lang Jun, you scare me. Isn't this kind of giant beast just in the legend? It actually exists."

"Don't worry, the 3000 people need to be managed by a suitable person. If we don't have one, I'll go to Qin Palace to borrow a general."

Su Dingfang whistled, and immediately two people ran over.

The two Liu Mus knew each other, they were Lao Lang's little brothers of Lvlin back then, Gao Hu and Gao Bao.He has been serving as the head of a hundred people in the Qin Qiong mansion's upper guard battalion, and they were part of the Mo Dao Bing during the war in Shuofang County.

After the war, the old wolf was transferred to Bingzhou to help Qin Qiong train soldiers, fearing that there would be no one available for Liu Mu, so he left them behind.

Su Dingfang explained the task, and the two of them immediately ran to pick someone after performing a Tang Dynasty military salute.

I saw that one of the two was holding a leather whip pinned to his waist, and the other was holding a brass trumpet: "Come here, pass on the order, and Mr. Lang will pick someone to take on the task. Those who can fight will pick 500 people, and the old men will pick one." One hundred, four hundred from the new recruits. Tonight you use your fists to decide the candidates."

Liu Mu's scalp felt numb, this way of picking people was really different.

Let so many people fight in groups at night, and then pick people in this way, wouldn't it be messy?

Su Dingfang said to Liu Mu from the side: "Don't worry, they have a sense of proportion. These people have learned how to fight recently. They tied cloth strips to their hands and put them on cowhide covers. They won't suffer any injuries."

Liu Mu was surprised that Datang, the boxing gloves of later generations, already existed.

I only heard the two brothers of the Gao family continue to shout: "Send the order to each team, lift the stone lock to pick the strong ones, 500 people, all new members. Tomorrow morning, each team will report to the list, and everyone will gather at the Qingheyu training camp to receive equipment and prepare go out."

These rookies who have been running for almost a month, who are going crazy as boring, howled like wolves.

There are tasks.

What a happy word, having a mission means meritorious deeds, and having a mission means having a chance to succeed.

What are they coming here for, isn't it that the eight hundred men are so majestic, every soldier has a title, and the lowest among the soldiers are military officers on the ninth rank.

Looking at the entire Datang, such a team is unique.

A few days later, together with the transport team, 5000 people embarked from the Jinghe Wharf in batches and headed for Luoyang. They had a warrant from the King of Qin, and they still reported to the caravan and a thousand guards.

In just two hours, only half of the people boarded the boat, and half of Chang'an City knew about it.

The nobles in Chang'an are not very comfortable. In the spring, you claimed that the caravan went north, and then captured Shuofang. This will be another caravan going to Luoyang.Luoyang has no enemies, but it is still not reassuring.

Wei Ting, Cui Dunli and others entered the palace.

Right now, the five surnames and Qiwang who cooperate with Liumu are only the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang can only be regarded as a semi-cooperative, and the Cui family of Boling only invested a little money to participate in the steel workshop, and the rest were not at all when Liumu invited them last time. Just didn't go.

The 36 gates have only gone half way.
