Datang first village

Li Yuanxing mentioned that he wanted to make the game circle bigger, but Li Yuanxing didn't have a complete plan for how to make it bigger. .

After Li Er started to question, Li Yuanxing asked back: "Brother Huang, how is the frontier?"

"Bianjiang, it should be good. I haven't received any bad news." Li Er thought about the watches he had read recently, and replied easily.

When he was talking about this, Li Er suddenly smiled proudly: "Goro, the new assembly house researched by the Ministry of Industry is already available, and it has been used in some places. In the first month of the lunar year, I will go around to see again, and I plan to take this opportunity to go out for a walk."

Li Er's inspection plan last year was canceled because of the flood and Wajima.

"So, the first stop?" Li Yuanxing asked.

"Muhe Valley!" Li Yuanxing didn't know where the place name Li Er mentioned was at all.

It was Wu Zhao who explained in a low voice: "It's Mudanjiang."

Li Er has a character of going as soon as he says he wants to go, so he arranged a flying boat to prepare for the trip the next day. Datang is not as good as it was a few years ago. Now Chang'an City has abundant supplies, and it can be filled with tens of thousands of flying boats at any time. The flying boat is loaded with food, clothing, letters and other items, but the process of loading takes time and there are too many materials.

What is the most popular canned food in Chang'an City?

The special product of Prince Qin's Mansion, luncheon meat!

It is processed from fatty meat, beaten and crushed meat, as well as starch, sugar, salt, and spices.The reason why Li Yuanxing was unwilling to eat this kind of luncheon meat was that there were too many additives in making this kind of luncheon meat in later generations, and the source of the meat was hard to say.It's really worrying.

Datang has strict standards here.

It is divided into five different levels: soldier, army, civilian, slave, and different.

At the level of Shishi, the best lean meat is used, which is finely cut into small cubes.Then it is also made of good suet and starch.

There is not much difference between the two levels of military and civilian.The meat used is the same, and it must be first-class meat.

The difference lies in the ingredients, the ratio of salt, sugar, and starch.Military supplies are required to use only corn flour, any other flour is against the rules.

Slave is second-class meat.No one knows about this level to the outside world, only Datang's supervision department is aware of the existence of this level.To put it bluntly, it is for takeout.Or for foreign slave labor to eat.certainly.Sometimes the two levels of slaves and civilians will be labeled with beautiful color printing, and then dragged to Nanyang to earn money from Nanyang nobles.

Will someone be lying.

The answer is yes, someone will take advantage of this loophole.Do everything possible to earn more money.

But the cost is huge.

At least ten years of hard labor.At worst, the whole family becomes slaves.In more serious cases, they were even beheaded.Moreover, there is a continuous seat system. The workers who work in the workshop know that this family has violated the rules and do not report it.Count as a second offender.

The flying boat took off, but Li Lanshan didn't go, neither did Wu Zhao, and none of the seven princesses went.But he sent several maids to accompany Li Yuanxing.Li Lanshan and Wu Zhao didn't go because it was so cold there, it was so cold that it made people go crazy.The seven princesses didn't go because they wanted to fight for more tonnage for their sons.

The speed of the flying boat has been improved. In five hours, it flew from Chang'an to the place Li Er called Mugu.

Wood Valley, here was originally the gathering place of the Mohe clan.This is also the Hegu Basin, because Mudanjiang was called Muhe locally at this time, so it was also called Mugu.

The big nobles of the Mohe clan basically moved to the Central Plains, among which Youzhou, Yunzhou, and Yizhou were the first choices, and a few came to settle in Chang'an.The Tang people in Mugu accounted for about [-]% of the total population, and if the garrison was included, it would almost reach [-]%.

A poor farmer in Chang'an is a super landlord here.

Sitting on the flying boat, Li Er said to Li Yuanxing: "Wu Lang said that the land is full of treasures, and he is really right. The black land was appraised as super-first-class land by Sinong Temple. Last year, the corn here was 800 million tons. The soybean was 120 million. And the rice that sells for sky-high prices in Chang’an is also grown here, but it’s a pity that there are less than 20 tan a year.”

"They took the river transport, and then went to sea in Vladivostok!" Li Yuanxing guessed.

"Yes, so the locals eat corn and the like, and then supply it to the port. The climate here is very good, and Li Chunfeng came here to calculate that this is a place where dragons thrive. There is warm air in the south, but it blocks it. The cold air from the north. Within a thousand years, there must be real dragons here."

Li Chunfeng is amazing.

But on this question, Li Yuanxing didn't say much, and almost opened the topic: "It's also extremely bitter here."

"Yes, the outpost on the mountain is indeed extremely difficult." Li Er nodded in agreement.

The flying boat flew directly above Mugu and continued to go north. Since it was patrolling the border, it must first go to the border to take a look.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness. According to the records of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty, after crossing the ridge, the northernmost outpost is above the snow ridge. Further north, there are half-savages who do not accept the king's leadership under the leadership of Heishui Mohe. There are also some blue They are savages. However, according to the leader of the Mohe tribe, those savages are very good at riding, and they are much taller than the Tang people."

Li Er sounds interesting.

The captain who was wearing a mask and belonged to the Imperial Security Department continued: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, because of the language barrier, they call themselves Yaku, so we call them Yaku people."

Just as he was talking, the flying boat had already arrived above the outpost.

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, there is a barracks surrounded by wood.

There was no way for the flying boat to land on the top of the mountain, so it could only hover over the barracks.

The guards went down first, and then used the hanging basket to pick up Li Er and Li Yuanxing from the flying boat.But Li Er stood at the door of the flying boat and watched motionlessly. Li Er is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Who dares to ask why you don't leave? Everyone can only wait silently until Li Yuanxing whispers next to him. : "Brother Huang, hold the hanging basket steady!"

"En!" Li Er nodded slightly.

Li Yuanxing watched from where Li Er stood just now, but he didn't see anything special.

After getting off the flying boat, Li Yuanxing saw Li Er standing next to a wooden railing to the north.At this moment Li Yuanxing finally understood what Li Er was looking at?

It was a man, a sentry, a soldier in a white cotton robe, and then hung many dry branches.

When I got closer, I heard Li Er asking, "Why do you hang branches on your body?"

Li Er had already asked three times, but the soldier still stood motionless.Until the officer at the outpost ran out in a single suit and yelled, "Order, answer questions."

"Yes! The branches are hung because there are eagles here, and they may attack if they see living things."

The captain knelt in the snow: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Go back and put on your clothes before you come out. Tang Jun's iron law is on duty and he doesn't say a word. Military law is in front. He is not wrong!" Li Yuanxing waved to the side to signal the captain to go back first, so as not to disturb the Emperor Tang's interest.

Li Er took a few steps back, stared at the young face, and nodded in satisfaction.

This is not put on display, because there is no telegraph here, Li Er suddenly wants to come here, it will take two days to walk from Mugu to here, and it will take three days to deliver supplies, and it cannot be when it is snowing heavily.So no one will notify the sentry here, this is not for showing off.

Li Er was very satisfied with being in the frontier and still having the iron law of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

"How old are you? How long have you been here? Where is your home?" Li Er asked.

"Seventeen. In the first year of the Preparatory Department of the Military Academy of the Datang Royal Academy, the commander has an order. He doesn't know how to lead an army. study."

It seems that there is such a rule, and Li Er is not too clear about how the Royal Academy teaches.

The team was fully dressed and came out again. They were brought in front of Li Yuanxing. After giving a military salute, they said, "Report Your Highness, because of the bitter cold at our checkpoint, we change guards every half an hour. It will be time for the change of guards."

"Whatever you want to do, just do it! You don't need to be affected by the fact that the Holy One and the King are here, go."

Changing of the guard!

Of course, Li Er had seen the guard changing of the guards, but Li Er was very interested in what happened at the checkpoint.

After taking a few steps back, the military academy of the Imperial Security Department handed a scroll to Li Er.

When I opened it, I saw that this was a military regulation, which happened to be the rule of changing guards in the Ming Dynasty.

A kid with a smile on his face, who was planning to win money in the room just now, is putting on the branch coat with the help of two people, then put on thick gloves, and then put on the I do not know what it is made of, very Big heavy boots.

With knife, long gun.

When the equipment was fully equipped, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, turning into an extremely serious expression.

The boots were heavy, and he walked step by step to the sentry post in the north: "Post No. 17, is there any abnormality in your post, do you have..."

They asked five questions in a row, and after getting an answer, the two clapped their hands lightly, and then exchanged positions.Next, the young man who was on the job just now asked: "Can you keep your spirits up, but after eating, do you have..." There are five more questions, nothing more than whether you can complete this task or not.

After getting the answer, the young man who was originally on the post slowly walked into the room and asked someone to help take away the dry branches that he was wearing.Whether this thing can guard against eagles, Li Yuanxing doesn't know.But Li Yuanxing believed even more that eagles would not attack people if they had nothing to do.Li Yuanxing will not say much about this kind of thing, after all, it is the tradition here.

"This is a reward!"

Li Er said something to himself.

"Reward, what's the reason?" Li Yuanxing also asked beside him.

Yes, what is the reason for the award?They are just doing things according to military regulations, and they are very serious.But you can't say that they are the only ones who are serious here. After the status of the soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty was raised, no one in the Tang Dynasty was serious.

Seeing that Li Er was in a bit of trouble, Li Yuanxing said: "Brother Emperor, guarding the frontier is extremely hard. After three years of guarding, you can be promoted or arranged to go to places like Nanyang, Wa Island, and the Peninsula. It's easier!"

"Tomorrow, I will watch at least twenty outposts from a distance!". )
