Destiny Only Han

Chapter 759 Liu Ying: But the Dragon City Flying General is in...

"Is this also called prosperity?"

Liu Bang and Liu Ying rode side by side, looking contemptuously at the low rammed earth walls around them, as well as the gray felt bags inside that were full of patches.

After all, although Pei County where he lived in the past was not considered rich, it could still be called a land of fish and rice, and Chang'an City where he lived later was even more prosperous with fire cooking oil and blooming flowers!
What do you know, this is a trace of history... Liu Ying rolled her eyes lightly and remained silent.

The Central Plains dynasty mainly settled down and focused on tombs, so many cultural relics will be unearthed, allowing future generations to have a glimpse of the production and lifestyle of the predecessors, but the nomads are different. They live without a fixed place, so there are very few cultural relics unearthed , A lot of it depends on guessing.

This rammed earth city of the Huns is naturally very precious!
Although Liu Bang took a soft nail, after all, he wanted Liu Ying, so he changed the subject and said, "What do you plan to do next?"

Liu Ying said with a smile:

"I've heard people say that the customs of the Xiongnu are similar to those of the Central Plains. Every autumn and winter, there will always be a meeting held in Dragon City, and people from all tribes will participate."

"So, let's go to Dragon City to join in the fun!"

When it comes to joining in the fun, Liu Bang suddenly became interested: "Okay, the so-called father and son soldiers, the old bone of the father will go with you!"

Ha ha... Liu Ying rolled her eyes again.

After being despised by Liu Ying twice in a row, Liu Bang clenched his fists and was about to get angry, but Lu Wan behind him lightly poked his ass with a horsewhip, signaling him to bear it...

Lu Wan just received a letter from Yu Ji, the words in it were gentle and considerate, but he could not help but break out in a cold sweat after reading the letter...

After all, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Therefore, he needs Liu Ying, the prospective son-in-law who is very popular with Yu Ji, to help him say something nice...

Where is your awesome energy, you look at Nai Gong, Nai Gong is fearless... Liu Bang looked back and sighed full of embarrassment.

Liu Ying ignored the flirting between the two old men, just beckoned to Aya, who was following behind, to come over, pointed to the panic-stricken herdsmen who were extremely poor and asked:

"Did you see it? Have something to say."

Aya scratched her head: "It's nothing, it will be fine in a few days, they still don't understand why the Han army came here..."

"I'm not talking about this." Liu Ying interrupted, shaking her head and asked: "Being a king is the one who leads everyone to prosperity, so what I'm asking is, what can you do to make them get rid of this kind of clothes?" A poor life with no clothes and no food."

So Aya was dumbfounded.

After all, she grew up in the grasslands, she is an out-and-out illiterate and female man, and Lu Matong is no different, so their daily expenses mainly depend on food and officials' salaries.

How can a person who is living a tight life help the people under his rule to achieve prosperity?
Well, it’s actually not that important. Lu Matong’s salary and income from the city can be converted to an annual salary of at least one million. The key is after tax...

If a little gray income is added, anyway, their family will not have to worry about money at all...

Lu Matong, who was following Aya, also showed a look of shame, but he was a little better than Aya, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, he said:
"Um...um, raising sheep and shearing sheep?"

Liu Ying was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly:
"That's right. After all, after Aya became the Queen of the Huns, the economic blockade and sanctions against the Huns no longer existed, and those herdsmen could naturally sell the wool they collected to Han merchants."

So, Zhang Buyi rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes glowed with gold, and after Liu Ying walked away, he took Aya to discuss the matter of exclusive agency...

After all, the Zhang family is very rich, and his wife just acquired five counties of Shiyi as fiefdoms, so there will be tens of thousands of housewives as cheap labor.

Therefore, it is a waste not to engage in the textile industry...

"What else?" Liu Ying asked again.

This time, it was Aya's turn to understand.

She looked at the silent Lu Matong, and answered proudly: "Raising cattle, raising horses, hunting, picking mushrooms..."

Liu Ying put her hands on her forehead and said sadly, "Before you became a queen, ordinary Huns lived on this. So after you become a queen, what difference does it make if you still engage in this kind of life?"

Aya spread her hands, and simply said badly: "Then I don't know, anyway, I, the Queen of the Huns, is also arranged by His Highness, and His Highness will naturally be responsible for me!"

Liu Ying pursed her lips, wanted to say something but finally gave up, just shook her head and said:

"The grassland is vast, and the east and west are different from the north to the south. There is no one-size-fits-all way to get rich. The only way to get rich is to seek truth from facts and adapt to local conditions."

"So, after you become the Queen of the Huns, the Han Dynasty will send a delegation to the grasslands to draw maps, analyze the local hydrology and climate, and then make corresponding plans."

"For example, where there are mines, mining towns will be built, and places suitable for farming will be designated as agricultural reclamation areas..."

"But what does that have to do with me?" Aya shook her head and interrupted.

After all, as agreed at the beginning, she, the Queen of the Huns, is only responsible for the jurisdiction of the Huns, that is, the traditional pastoral areas, and those Han settlements such as industrial towns and agricultural towns are governed by officials sent by the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty. .

Although Aya disrupted her train of thought, Liu Ying was not angry either.

Although Aya is from the Huns, after marrying Lu Matong, she is considered to be from the Lu family, plus Aya and his elder sister, who are brothers and sisters, are bound to Jinlan, so naturally they are also considered to be from the Liu family.

So Liu Ying said with a smile:
"Why doesn't it matter? Although the newly planned industrial and agricultural towns belong to the Central Committee of the Han Kingdom, they are on the grassland after all. Leaving aside the farmers, the workers still need to drink milk and eat meat. Is it possible that they have to travel thousands of miles away? bought from Chang'an?"

"Isn't it still going to be obtained from the Huns herdsmen in the end?"

"In this way, if we exchange what we need, won't everyone achieve common prosperity?"

Lu Matong nodded: "I understand. Your Highness wants you to promulgate a decree to severely punish the herdsmen who rob business trips, prohibiting forced buying and selling, and shoddy goods!"

Especially the point of strong buying and strong selling, Lu Matong, who once disguised as a merchant to spy on the grassland, has a deep understanding.

The people of the grasslands are very simple when they are simple, but they are also very cunning when they are cunning.

After all, the grassland is a place where people speak with knives. Only when they are subdued can they be equal.

So when she heard Lu Matong's words, Aya burst out laughing, and then shyly and flirtatiously whipped Lu Matong with a horsewhip, and said with her throat closed: "Ah, you have remembered such a small thing for so many years... Today's Huns don't dare to provoke Han merchants even if they have ten guts..."

Liu Ying shuddered, looked at Lu Matong who was blushing a bit inexplicably, and suppressed the disdain on his face: "Those are more long-term, right now there is a way to get rich quickly."

Lu Matong glared at Aya, and asked: "What method?"

Liu Ying replied with a smile: "Raising geese."

Looking at Liu Ying, who was talking about the "Getting Rich", Zhang Buzhi pinched his chin, and eight words silently appeared in his heart.

Goose seedlings are slow to sell, help us...

..............................

Dragon City.

Unig, draped in gorgeous jade ornaments, walked out of the large tents of twelve Hanas, surrounded by hundreds of guards at the door, and walked towards the altar in the distance.

Today is the day they sacrifice to heaven.

But Yi Zhixie was still too young, so the task of offering sacrifices to heaven was naturally done by her mother.

Although it was very unruly, but after all the shamans who dared to question were cut to pieces, the rest naturally kept silent.

Above the altar in the shape of a golden man, a dozen or so shamans in furs and with bird feathers on their heads waved skeleton staffs, beat leather drums, and danced up and down.

Wu Nige, who came late, looked around and found that there were a few less noble surnames of the Huns who came to perform the sacrifice, such as the Zuo Daqiu who wanted to strip her naked with his eyes when he saw her, and the seemingly He is majestic, but he is actually a second man's right captain.

But she just frowned and didn't pay much attention to it.

The grassland is vast, and even the Huns who were born and raised here would get lost, so it's okay to be late for three or five days.

Anyway, the sacrificial activity will last for a full month, as long as it arrives on the last day and does not miss the ceremony of sharing a piece of meat with the ancestors and gods.

Therefore, Unig put on the eagle crown symbolizing the Great Chanyu on his head, walked up to the altar, imitated the movements of the old Shang Shanyu, and danced to the Great God in response to the movements of the shaman.

Just jumping and jumping, the golden cup of blood wine placed under the statue suddenly overturned, and the dark red liquid immediately filled the extremely holy altar.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake.

Those Hun warriors who were experienced in this immediately understood that this was a signal that a large number of cavalry was approaching rapidly.

So without anyone saying anything, they rushed back to their camp immediately, put on their armor with the help of women and servants, and took out short spears and scimitars wrapped in thick sheepskin.

Wunige, who was concentrating on dancing the Great God, was taken aback, but she suppressed the panic in her heart, and walked down from the altar majesticly, as if nothing happened.

So infected by her, those Huns nobles who were in a panic also calmed down.

Here is the place where the Huns sacrificed to heaven!

Here is a place protected by the gods!
The important thing is that there are still [-] to [-] heroic and invincible Hun men stationed around now!

They are fearless!

Therefore, Wunige, who gained courage from them, raised his head and said contemptuously: "Get on the horse, I want to see who is so bold and dares to gallop here!"

It's just that it wasn't someone else who responded to Unig, but a Hun warrior running from a distance covered in blood.

"The Han people are the army of the Han people..."
