The Villain System of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty.

"How is it? Did it go well this time?" Xiang Shaoyu asked with a smile.

"It's okay!" Jing Tianming wiped his mouth and said, "Although the person the eldest son asked us to deal with was quite difficult, it was resolved smoothly in the end. The forces in the Jianghu side of Dongyue also surrendered to us."

"It's really hard to imagine that the Yin Yang family can join hands with the Mo family at this moment." Xiang Shaoyu shook his head, and suddenly asked: "By the way, is there any news about Yue'er?"

Jing Tianming's face darkened, and he said: "Yue'er has been missing for a long time, even within the Yinyang family, she can't find her whereabouts. But this time, I got news about Shi Lan."

"What!" Even though that beautiful figure had disappeared in front of Shaoyu for a long time, every time he heard this name, he couldn't forget it for a long time.

"However..." Jing Tianming hesitated to speak up to this point.

"what?"

Jing Tianming has always been very forthright, saying something in front of himself.With his appearance like this, Xiang Shaoyu became worried.

"Did something happen to Shi Lan?"

"That's not true." Jing Tianming shook his head and said, "But Shi Lan was in the clouds when the ranger of the Mo family found her."

Xiang Shaoyu was shocked in his heart, and his face turned pale all of a sudden, "She is in the cloud, how is she doing now?"

"The ranger of the Mo family found Shi Lan on the streets of Yunzhong City. At that time, the Qin army searched closely, and the ranger didn't see Shi Lan himself, but saw her enter the Yunzhong County mansion."

Xiang Shaoyu took out the jade hairpin that hadn't been given away, and stroked it lightly, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Jing Tianming looked at Xiang Shaoyu's appearance, and asked tentatively, "Shaoyu, should we go to Yunzhong to find Shi Lan?"

Xiang Shaoyu shook his head, and said: "No need, Chudi cannot leave me now. Besides, I believe that sooner or later, Shi Lan and I will meet again."

Looking at Xiang Shaoyu's appearance, Jing Tianming pretended to be helpless and said, "Anyway, I'm going to Yunzhong, so I'll stop by to see Shi Lan. What is she doing in Yunzhong?"

Chapter 28 There is surplus food during the rainy season

In the rainy season, there is a lot of rain.

Up and down Yunzhong County, after several years of reclamation, the area of ​​cultivated land has greatly increased.

The seedlings were first planted, and under the command of the three elders in the village, the whole county completed the farming work before the rain came.

There is no war on the border of the Great Wall, and Yunzhong waits for Antai, the border county.

Taking advantage of these few days of slack farming, the heads of Guizhou in various counties and townships gathered in their homes with five or six relatives and friends, drank privately brewed one or two turbid wine, and happily discussed the gossip between the villages.

Yunzhong County is remote, and compared to Hedong and a large county like Sanchuan, the population is even sparser.

However, places such as Yanmen in Yunzhong originally belonged to Zhao, and the people were brave and brave.In addition to fighting with Beihu all the year round, even ordinary people are skilled in swords and bows.

Deep in the green hills, there are hundreds of camps.

Ying Ziyi brought more than a thousand guards into the mountains for spring hunting, and it has been some time.

At this time, outside Ying Ziyi's big tent, he was dressed in black light armor. He opened his bow and set up an arrow, and the bowstring was buckled on his thumb with a white jade finger. With a whoosh, the arrow galloped and shot into the space outside the tent. The target fifty steps away on the ground hit the target.

"Your Highness, last year Yunzhong County newly reclaimed [-] hectares of land, and the existing field is [-] hectares. The war has been relatively peaceful in the past two years, and there is a surplus of grain every year. There are [-] shi of grain stored in the warehouses of Yunzhong City."

Cao Shen was by his side, reporting all the big and small things in Yunzhong County.It's just that when it comes to storing grain, the tone is a little weak.

If counted by population, Yunzhong County is only a small county, not even comparable to the large counties in some densely populated areas of Guanzhong and Kanto.

But no matter how small it is, it is still a county with tens of thousands of households and a population of nearly [-].Yunzhong City is also a prefecture, but there are only [-] shi in the granary, which is really not much.

But this is not to be blamed on Cao Shen. In the past few years, he has built the Great Wall, migrated refugees, trained horses, trained cavalry, and launched a large-scale attack on Beihu. It is also considered that he can save so much food. Very good.

Ying Ziyi nodded, and Cao Shen continued, "The Xiongnu are far away, and the war has been relatively peaceful. If this year goes well, by the end of the year, the county in Yunzhong can save [-] shi of grain and grass."

After several years of fighting, Ying Ziyi finally understood that to completely wipe out and subdue the Huns requires the power of the whole country.It is clearer why countries have to build the Great Wall one after another to resist Beihu.

This is really not worth it!

Even though Ying Ziyi had the blessing of taxation from the fiefdoms of the Western Regions, the consumption of [-] riders could hardly be sustained once he traveled out of the fortress.Most importantly, food and grass can only barely keep up.And to fight against the Huns, small-scale combat power is of no use in the vast Saibei.If you mobilize a large number of troops and send [-] soldiers, the harvest will not be directly proportional to the consumption.

There is no way, the barbarians are poor!

But it is impossible not to fight. Once the Hu people are allowed to recuperate for decades, and there are millions of people and hundreds of thousands of strings, it will be a serious disaster for the Central Plains Dynasty.

In contrast, building the Great Wall to defend against barbarians is the safest and most effective defense method.

Ying Ziyi looked at the lush landscape in the distance, and had to sigh.

It is no wonder that with the great talents of Han Wu, Ji Wenjing and the other two emperors, the Huns were conquered in the north, but in the end, the Han Empire was still exhausted.

However, compared to that time, the Huns faced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a vast territory, starting from Liaodong in the east and reaching Congling in the west. In a land of thousands of miles, Donghu, Yuezhi, and the countries of the Western Regions were all ministers and animals.From below Shanyu Wangting, left and right virtuous kings, left and right Guli kings, left and right captains, and left and right big households, as for thousands of long, hundred long, very long, one layer at a time, and three hundred thousand strings, they are truly worthy of the name. giant.

But at this moment, during the First World War in Henan, the Xiongnu were expelled from the fertile Hetao area by the empire, and huddled in the land of Monan, with a population of only a few hundred thousand and only fifty to sixty thousand warriors.

The difficulty of fighting the boss is really much smaller.

"What about the domestication of war horses?" Ying Ziyi asked.

In the era of cold weapons, war horses are the most important criterion for measuring a country's military strength.

The rise of the Han and Tang Dynasties began with Ma Zheng.In the Song Dynasty, the Liao, Jin and Mongols suffered so badly because of the lack of horses.On the vast North China Plain, the Song army used heavy infantry and other people's cavalry to force their anus. If you win, you will be useless, and if you lose, you will be defeated. You who are bullied!

"Yunzhong, Yanmen, Dai, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other counties have a total of more than [-] war horses."

Ying Ziyi nodded, conquered the Western Regions, and after the opening of the Silk Road, the horse breeding industry in the empire rose on a large scale.The empire formulated a special stable law for it to regulate the order of raising horses.After the Xiongnu were expelled from the land of Hetao, the excellent prairie horses injected fresh blood into the empire's military horse system. Zhao Zhi also has a small-scale horse farm.

At this time, there were more than [-] garden horses and stable horses raised by the empire alone.Ying Ziyi felt that the time for the empire's military reform was almost ripe.
