Chapter 223 Harvest
In September of the first year of Jiaping, Xiping ushered in a bumper harvest.

A total of 14 million shi of grain was harvested in Tuntian District at 130 yuan, which is fully double that of last year.

Yang Zheng felt at ease in his heart.

The Qiang Hu people in Xiping Xihai were also elated, and they also supported Qiang Mansion like never before.

More and more Qiang tribes came out of the deep mountains, vying for the places of "waiting to return".

Even Faqiang, Zhongqiang, and Shaodangqiang in the south of Jishi Mountain also led their troops to surrender.Just ask for a title to be returned.

The power of food can be seen.

There are bonfires everywhere in the wilderness to worship various gods of the Qiang people, singing and dancing, beating gongs and drums.

Qianghu was gradually sinicized, but at the same time the Han people were also influenced by the customs of Qianghu.

Also worship various gods.

The grain has just been harvested, and the livestock in Xihai have also been slaughtered.

Du Bin led the herdsmen to drive more than 1 cattle and sheep and more than 3000 healthy horses into Xidu.

All the Qiang Han people in Xiping came to watch.

"My elder brother said that this year the ranch will be opened for the first time, and there will be only so many livestock. Next year and the year after that, the number of livestock will increase, at least [-] head." Du Bin's face was bright, as if he was waiting for Yang Zheng's praise.

After staying on the grassland for a long time, people are tanned, but their bodies are also stronger.

"That's right, Yuan Kai did not disappoint me." Of course there are more than [-] cattle and sheep in such a large grassland.

It is understandable that the first year is less.

A good man is a good man, and he can be impressive wherever he goes.

He used to be afraid of him leaving, but now Yang Zheng has no such worries.

Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang first, and then Wang Ling, with bloody debts.

Although the victory was achieved, the influence among the gentry was very bad, almost breaking through the bottom line.

Cao Shuang is influential among the nobles.

Wang Ling played a very important role in the hearts of the gentry and the common people. He guarded Huainan for Cao Wei for decades, and he was quite capable in governing the region.

Moreover, Wang Ling voluntarily surrendered, and he was a family friend with the Sima family, nearly eighty years old.

Such a person Sima Yi will not let go, who else in the world can let go?

Many people of insight are still on the sidelines and hesitation.

But Du Shu had a feud with Sima Yi, and it was too late for the Du family to hide, so they probably wouldn't move forward.

Yang Zheng was thinking about transferring Du Yu back and letting him herd cattle and sheep in the West Sea, which was really a waste of money.

And Zhang Te couldn't be placed in Fu Luochuan for a long time, otherwise it would be easy to form a new mountain.

Where there are people, there are interests, and where there are interests, groups will be formed.

Sometimes this interest group pushes people in different directions.

In terms of the system, the precautions should still be taken.

"Subordinates sleep up all night for the sake of the general, and dare not slack off for a day." Seeing that Yang Zheng didn't speak any more, Du Bin couldn't take it anymore.

Yang Zheng felt happy, this guy really has no shame, "You really worked hard. You took in seven Qiang orchid concubines, not every day without slack, but every day! I am very happy in the West Sea, and now I still have the face Complaints?"

Nine camping is not only external, but also internal.

Sometimes internal enemies are more harmful than external enemies.

Yang Zheng is not a nobleman, nor is he a nobleman, so if he wants to calm down the situation, he must use various means.

Du Bin blushed, and his arrogance suddenly weakened, "This... this..."

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, I'm not blaming you. Having more sons is also a contribution to China. In the future, the salaries of your Xihai officials and soldiers will be increased by [-]%. subsidy."

In the past, the eyes of the poor were green, but now they have Hehuang food, and Xihai salt, horses, cattle and sheep, so they don't have to pick and choose to live.

When money is used where it should be used, it will further strengthen its strength.

"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Heng, who had been a guard for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore.

"This is a good thing for you, and it's also a good thing for Huaxia. During the duty period, how should I deal with talking casually?" Yang Zheng pretended to be angry.

"Ten army sticks." Liu Heng obediently lay down and took off his armor.

The other guards in the hall held back their laughter.

Yang Zheng smiled in his heart. Although this guy is crazy, he doesn't keep anything in his heart, and says whatever he thinks.

Having encountered too many intrigues, Yang Zheng hoped that the people around him could be simpler.

Of course, under sufficient prestige.

The two guards finished the beating with sticks, and Liu Heng stood up as if nothing had happened, and continued to be on duty.

Du Bin laughed dryly, "Thank you, General."

At this moment, the scouts from the north came to report urgently, and Yang Zheng ordered everyone to retreat.

Only Liu Heng and Gong Feizhi were left in the hall.

"Fifteen Qiang and Hu tribes rebelled and led troops to attack Wuwei County. The momentum was quite large. Chen Inspector led three thousand cavalry to attack, and the bandits collapsed. Tu Ge, Bald Hair, and the leaders of the Hexi Qiang all went to Wuwei City to plead guilty and returned the looted As for the war horse, Governor Chen comforted him with good words, but he did not see any crime, and Chief Hu left happily."

Chen Tai is Chen Tai, and he can calm down the situation by three times, five times and two divisions.

However, it was a pity that Qiang Hu was let go of such a good opportunity.

The biggest problem in Hexi is that there are too many Qiang Hu and few Han people.

Everyone has their own principles for dealing with things. Chen Tai was born in a family of Zhongming Dingshi, and he has always been tolerant.

If Chen Tai didn't have this kind of character, he probably wouldn't let him go.

"Explore again." The scouts only grasped what they detected.

"only!"

Not long after, people from the nine campers came to report: "Feng Qi's mansion burst into flames and burned to the ground. Several bones were found. It is not sure whether it is Feng Qi. In addition, three secret roads were found in the mansion, each leading to the city. outside……"

"He must have run away!" Yang Zheng didn't believe that Feng Qi would commit suicide.

And there's no need to kill yourself.

Maybe he was picked up by the Zhong family?
After Cao Shuang and Wang Ling were overthrown one after another, the situation in Yongliang became more and more delicate.

Chen Tai, Guo Huai, and Deng Ai each have their own thoughts, and Sima Zhao's guarding Chang'an also made the Sima family's eyes gradually focus on the northwest.

The crime of selling military horses into Shu is not a small crime, and it is the crime of ransacking the family and destroying the ancestors.

If it is exposed, the Zhong family will be fine, but Feng Qi will definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat.

Merchants always have the most sensitive sense of smell.

Feng Qi should have sensed that something was wrong, Jin Chan had escaped her shell.

"Next, your Nine Camps will infiltrate every corner of the five counties in Hexi, and there must be members of us in every major force. In addition, Feng Qi still needs to search for his traces." Yang Zheng suddenly felt more moved towards Feng Qi. Interested.

To be able to do such a big business in this troubled world, to smell the danger in advance, to play a golden cicada to escape the shell, and to abandon everything without hesitation, is not a simple person.

If this person returns to Zhong Hui's side, he must get rid of him no matter what price he pays.

Because he knows too much.

But if he disappears without a trace, the matter can be put aside for a while.

"Follow the order!"

Two days later, Meng Guangong and Sun Fu returned to the western capital one after another.

"The subordinate is incompetent." The two half-kneeled in front of Yang Zheng.

"Get up and talk, and you don't have to kneel and salute at all times in the future. You have done your best in the matter of Wuwei, and this result is acceptable. Has Feng Qi really disappeared without a trace?"

"Yes, my subordinates sent people to search everywhere, but there was no trace, especially in the direction of Chang'an in the east, a dozen or so scouts were also in vain." Meng Guan cupped his hands.

Yang Zheng felt that it was unlikely that he would find Feng Qi again. A dog would lose its use value and attract the attention of others. The owner would definitely not keep him. "Chang'an will send more people."

"Follow the order!"

Gongsunfu cupped his hands and said, "Wuwei county magistrate Duan Rui has been arrested by Chen Tai. If he finds out about the racecourse, the horse business in Liangzhou may be affected."

"When Chen Tai went to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, this road would be impassable. The danger is too great. However, there are no Liangzhou horses, and our Hequ horses are of inferior quality, but they are still high-grade. Much more stable." It seems that in later generations, Hequ horses are also top grade.

And the horse breed can also be improved.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked Dawan, obtained a blood-sweat horse, raised it in Liangzhou, and became a Liangzhou horse.

Tuyuhun used good Persian mares to live in the West Sea, bred good breeds, and was able to travel thousands of miles a day, and was passed down from generation to generation in Qinghai.

Later generations of Xiaobenzi also welcomed the fine horse breeds back to the island and improved them to produce Oriental horses.

Selling horses into Shu is not only to make money, but also to open up channels in Shu.

"Gather the horse builders and go to the Western Regions to buy some high-quality horse breeds. Zijun will be in charge of this matter. We must have the best horses and spare no expense."

"As ordered."
