Destiny Only Han

Chapter 490 Liu Ying: Where did Niu Niu go?

Yuzhang County, Nanchang City.

Liu Ying was sitting shirtless in the carriage, holding an icemelon in her hand and gnawing on it. A wisp of green smoke rose from under his feet, making the carriage feel a bit like a dream.

Well, this is actually a mosquito coil.

It is almost midsummer now, where the water network is densely covered, mosquitoes will naturally overwhelm the sky, especially because he has a mosquito-attracting physique, as long as he shows up, mosquitoes will come to bite him from thousands of miles away...

According to Han Xin's arrangement, they chose to attack the Nanyue Kingdom from Hengpu Pass instead of following the previous plan, converging the troops of the Changsha Kingdom and attacking the Nanyue Kingdom from Yangshan Pass.

The main reason for this is that the road is difficult to walk, and it is inconvenient to take the siege equipment from Guanzhong directly to the south, but directly let Guan Ying build it on the spot in Yuzhang County, and prepare to storm Hengpu Pass.

As for Yangshan Pass, it was handed over to the Changsha army to feign an attack and involve Zhao Tuo's troops.

Han Xin has always fought in such a style.

"Do you want to eat?" Liu Ying held up the last two teeth of ice melons, and looked at Han Xin who was sitting opposite him in meditation.

Han Xin shook his head slightly. His stomach has been a little uncomfortable for the past two days, so he persuaded him: "I won't eat it, and you should take two bites less... It's hot weather, and it's no harm to eat less cold food."

Liu Ying put down the icemelon in her hands remonstrantly, and lay down in front of the car window to look out.

Well, he mainly couldn't eat...

It's just that Liu Ying looked at it, and her brows gradually frowned.

It is close to Nanchang City, and there are endless wilderness everywhere, and the sparkling water in the distance. From time to time, people can see people fishing in boats and plowing farmland.

But the crux of the problem lies in this group of farmers.

If Liu Ying was not mistaken, those people were using an improved Liu's plow, also known as Quyuan plow, which was suitable for use in paddy fields.

But why is it a human being who pulls the plow?
What about cows?

Liu Ying remembered that in order to speed up the development of Nanchang City and make the bonds see benefits as soon as possible, he raised more than 1000 cattle and went south to Yuzhang County, which were specially used for renting out to local farmers.

Well, this is a national policy that has existed since the Qin State invented the cattle farming method. People can rent government cattle and agricultural tools. Even if the owner breaks it, he only needs to make corresponding compensation.

Therefore, in this day and age, people still need to pull the plow. It is true that Liu Ying is a little confused.

A while later, Liu Ying arrived outside Nanchang City. When he got off the carriage, after thinking about it, he took off his clothes from the hook on the carriage and wrapped himself up.

There is no way, there are mosquito coils in the carriage, the mosquitoes don't dare to be too arrogant, but if he got off the carriage and went to the open space, if he was still shirtless, it would be like delivering a buffet to the mosquitoes...

So, be hot.

Han Xin smiled silently, stepped on straw sandals, wore shorts and a waistcoat, and followed Liu Ying from the carriage. Compared with Liu Ying, he was not afraid of mosquito bites.

Well, in fact, as long as he is by Liu Ying's side, he doesn't have to worry about attracting the attention of mosquitoes...

In the distance, Guan Ying and the others, who were also dressed in cool clothes, were about to come up to them, when they suddenly saw Liu Ying stepping off the carriage in formal attire, so she hurriedly turned her head and took two steps backwards, and hurriedly began to put on her robe.

Liu Ying came here with Bai Yan and Huang Yue in her hand, and she had the power to seize life and death. What's more, Liu Ying was wearing a robe and formal attire, and they were shirtless, is it appropriate?

After all, they can't compare with Han Xin, that guy is used to it. When Liu Ying and Han Xin were together, Han Xin still kept some rules. If Liu Bang appeared at this moment, Han Xin would be saving face for Liu Bang by wearing a pair of underpants. !
So, when everyone came together, Han Xin looked at Liu Ying and the others sweating profusely, and the corners of his mouth turned up even more.

Liu Ying wiped the sweat off her face, walked to the reed shed in the distance, and asked, "Where's the cow?"

Guan Ying asked in confusion, "What cow?"

"The cattle I brought over from the north?" Liu Ying sat down under the awning, ordered mosquito coils to be lit, herbal tea was delivered, and she pointed to the farmland in the distance and asked, "Why are people still pulling the plow?"

Guan Ying smiled and said, "All the cattle were sent to the mine to pull carts, and the people working there were prisoners of war, people from Baiyue in the South Vietnamese Army."

Liu Ying nodded first, then raised her head and said, "That's why cattle plowing is faster than human plowing! Get the cattle back to pull the plow, and let these prisoners of war go to work in the mine."

"I'm afraid it's not right."

Behind Guan Ying, Zhou Zao, the county magistrate of Nanchang, walked out, first bowed his hands and saluted, and then said:

"His Royal Highness does not know that the water and soil here are different from those in Guanzhong. After the cattle go to work in the fields, the hoofs are easy to rot. We have no way to let people come to plow the fields..."

Liu Ying looked back at the prisoner who was pulling the plowshare in the mud, and suddenly realized.

Farm cattle in the north mostly use yellow cattle. If they are farming in paddy fields, they need to be pulled out from time to time to dry their bodies to prevent their hooves from being soaked in water for a long time.

Well, in later generations, the cattle in the Jianghuai area gradually adapted and could plow paddy fields, but the cattle in the Yellow River basin could not.

When farming in the south, buffaloes are often used. This kind of cattle and yellow cattle are distant relatives. Therefore, it is suitable for cultivating paddy fields in the south.

The case has been solved, maybe this is the reason why the development level in the south is not as good as that in the north... So Liu Ying stood up, threw off her sweaty clothes, gestured twice on her head with her hands, and asked:

"Have you ever seen this kind of cow? The body is mostly black and gray, with a pair of big horns growing on its head?"

Seeing Liu Ying's movements, Guan Ying and the others wanted to laugh, but when they saw the yellow ax held in the hands of the attendants standing behind Liu Ying, their smiles dissipated immediately and they shook their heads frequently.

"never seen it……"

"do not know……"

Han Xin gestured on his nose and said with a smile: "I know a rhinoceros, but I have never seen the kind of cow you mentioned."

Guan Ying said weakly: "Your Highness is talking about the tribute that Zhao Tuo gave to His Majesty two years ago, or the cow with a particularly strange neck?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "No, it's a zebu. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the Yue people in the south brought it as a tribute. I'm talking about a buffalo. It can swim around in the water, and it won't come out after soaking for hours. the kind?"

"I've never seen it...it's amazing." Guan Ying said a few words with admiration, but seeing that Liu Ying didn't look like she was joking, she said seriously: "Since Your Highness said yes, then I think there is someone who should know. "

"Who?"

"The more general Mei Yan."

Liu Ying nodded, Mei Yan was considered a local aborigine, and he didn't know if there was anything in the local area.

"Where is Mei Yan now? Tell him to come see me!"
