Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 411 410. Guard Soldiers
The carriage pulled by a tall and muscular giant horse parked under the platform in the waiting area of ​​the mine and waited.

On the shuttle bus, the coachman rang the bell.

The sound of jingling bells quickly attracted the Xiumu Guardsmen who were resting in the waiting area.

They boarded the shuttle bus in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing.

Took a seat.

After a while, a shuttle bus that could seat 16 people was filled with guardsmen who were taking a rest. Those who arrived late patted their thighs with regret and returned to the waiting area to wait for the next bus.

"Let's go."

The carriage driver shouted and whipped his horse, and the huge draft horse was extremely obedient under his control.

Although these giant beast-like horses look huge, they are very docile in temperament. It can be said that they have almost no shortcomings except that they eat too much and are not suitable for riding.

Today's giant draft horses have become the most important animal power in Liao, Le, and Yin continents under the cultivation of the Liao District Animal Husbandry Department. Most of the beasts of burden for hauling large goods and public transportation are giant draft horses.

Of course, at present, the giant draft horses have no plans to go out any further. Their appetite severely limits their possibility of radiating to other places.

Only these important grain-producing areas have the foundation to use them.

Nowadays, the most capable grain-producing places in the Liao Dynasty are Youzhou and Lezhou, and the reason why Yinzhou can use giant draft horses is also because of its convenient logistics with these two continents.

With the help of sea ships, it only takes a few hours to travel from Yinzhou to Lezhou and Youzhou.

Two giant draft horses pulled a carriage with 17 people on it heading down the mountain.

The Sanhe soil ground and rubber tires allow passengers in the car to feel no bumps except shaking.

The long zigzag mountain road goes back and forth between the mountains.

Streams, forests, and deer feeding on grass are all part of the scenery.

Along the way, the shuttle bus also passed through planned mountain villages.

These villages located on the mountainside are all responsible for the production of timber.

After coming down from the mining area, there were gradually more vehicles and pedestrians on the Sanhetu road.

The same giant draft horse, one pulling several tons of timber-loading vehicles, walked on the road.

Some nearby villagers who did not take public transportation also chose to walk down the mountain.

As the saying goes, those who rely on the mountains to eat are those who rely on the water. These villagers living in the mountain villages also have the habit of collecting delicacies in the forest. In their free time, they will go to the towns at the foot of the mountain or to see Yincheng to sell them to earn extra money.

This is not.

Next to the carriage carrying a group of Xiumu Guard soldiers who took shifts, there were a dozen villagers walking down the mountain carrying baskets.

They were from several nearby villages, and they gathered together while walking on the road.

"Why are there so many people who didn't get on the bus? What happened to Yinjun recently?"

In the carriage, looking at more than a dozen villagers carrying baskets on their backs, the guardsmen talked loudly.

"No harm, it's nothing. Your Majesty will make the capital in October next year. Seeing that Yin County has accumulated a lot of high-quality mature wood, he summoned most of the horse team to pull it to the port."

"Except for the nearest bus in the mining area, the waiting time has been extended elsewhere. In fact, if they wait a little longer, there will still be a bus, but it seems that they also want to earn more change and are afraid of missing work, so they choose to walk ."

"After all, including the waiting time, they have already reached the foot of the mountain."

After hearing the discussion among the guards, the carriage driver spoke up.

"That's it"

The guardsmen in the carriage were suddenly stunned. You looked at me, then I looked at you, and they all smiled when they remembered the Zhengzhi lessons in their previous training.

"Let's go?" "Then let's go."

"Whoever arrives last gets a treat."

"Then I agree."

"Hahaha, you kid can't run away first!"

"Hahaha"

"Master, please stop. Let's pick up these villagers while we walk."

After a while of fun, the soldiers in the carriage unanimously decided to walk. Anyway, the most difficult section of the mining area has been walked. The next steps are comfortable forest roads without extra load. This is what they need every day during training. For the Guard soldiers carrying heavy loads, it is simply relaxing and enjoyable.

So they chose to give up the car.

Hearing their words, the carriage driver was not too surprised. He just smiled and stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

He rang the bell and pulled the rope connecting the car.

"Boys, we're here."

"Thank you, Master!"

A group of young soldiers filed out of the car door. They were all wary of the people around them. Only one person started to run away, and the others also ran down the mountain. After all, no one wanted to really invite someone. Helping people drink is not good for your wallet.

Looking at this group of young guardsmen who were full of splendor and splendor, the carriage driver also smiled and shook his head.

He was really not surprised by the choice of these guardsmen, because they were not the first people to make such a choice.

The carriage driver was waiting by the roadside, looking at the villagers coming with baskets on their backs, and he rang the bell.

"Get in the car, big guy."
-
As the vehicle drove down the mountain forest.

Not far from the foot of the mountain, a small town stands on Pyongyang.

All around, the rare plain terrain in this mountainous area has created acres and acres of regular fields.

In early spring, plowing and fertilizing work has begun in the surrounding farmland.

The road passes through the fields, and on both sides of the road, water from the water storage area has begun to flow in the ditches.

The moisture wetted the first batch of grass seedlings that poked out of the earth. The water droplets gathered and bent the grass seedlings.

Catch the last period of market trading in the afternoon.

The mountain residents sell the treasures collected during this period one by one.

They couldn't stop smiling when they got the money. These are extra income in their annual income, which means that they can use this money to improve other expenses at home.

Buy some fat and some poultry. You can also buy some high-quality fertilizers in the small acres of land you cultivate in the mountains.

You can also buy some candies that the children at home are obsessed with. When they get older, they will leave home to study. You have to seize this time. If you want to pamper them again, you will have to wait for their annual winter and summer vacations.

Walking under the wooden buildings, the mountain residents walked towards the road outside the town carrying baskets that were heavier than when they came.

Unlike other places in Yinzhou, the buildings here are still mostly made of wood, and most of them are spliced ​​with mortise and tenon joints.

Earthquakes are an unavoidable daily occurrence in Yinzhou.

Fortunately, although earthquakes occur frequently, they are mostly small earthquakes, and occasionally there are louder ones. The earthquake resistance properties of these wooden buildings are also full.

Over the years, most of the people who died in earthquakes were Japanese slave miners serving in the mines. Although there were casualties among ordinary people, they were very few.
