The merchant left, leaving behind ten truckloads of goods, which were counted and put into storage one by one by the helpers of the firearms shop, who were mainly bannermen recruited from Tianjin, as well as a few idle young men from the surrounding herdsmen's homes.

The herdsmen are very busy, feeding the horses, chopping wood, combing, milking, and then it's time to feed the horses, continue chopping wood, and combing again, and the day passes, and if it is not forcible requisition, there is very little opportunity for the herdsmen to be idle, and their days are harder than those of the farmers.

The reason why Wang Yue let them be idle is also the peasants, when he came here, there was nothing in Jining, the roads of the Qin and Han dynasties had long been abandoned and in disrepair, and the city in the early Ming Dynasty had already become ruins, and the last few houses that could live were occupied by the people who came to manage the post station last year, and he couldn't afford to provoke others.

There was no way, he could only ride around the herdsmen's houses around him, promising that whoever would send him a strong laborer with his own dry food, and he would farm the land next year, and he would eat that kind of food in the field, like Tumochuan, and he didn't need to go to Tumochuan to buy it - there were many servants.

The composition of the Han people in Bansheng is similar to that of overseas pirates, either they can't survive in the Great Wall, or they are simply uneasy with the status quo, there are very few obedient people, and the grain is sold more expensive than meat - the commercial tax inside the Great Wall is outrageously low, and there is no commercial tax outside the Great Wall, no matter what price the tribal leaders sell, anyway, they don't spend money on food.

Farming, like the Java language, is easy to get started and difficult to master, and anyone can plant things in the ground, but how much they grow depends on personal skills.

Strictly speaking, Jining is also the territory of the Ming Jin Kingdom, but some time ago the battle in the northeast was in full swing, I heard that Qi Dashuai of the Ming Dynasty used the anger of immortality in the northeast Dali Lake, not to mention the death of the Great Khan, the new successor to the Great Khan also ran west with his tail between his legs, and many herdsmen went to the Naturalization City along the way.

Now the herdsmen here are all fried flowers, Dong Changang and the tribes followed from the east to fight from the south, and they came from the east and went south to avoid the winter, and they didn't even plant things.

But it's enviable.

The level of the foreign departments in the science and technology tree is high and low, the high is like the Ming Jinguo, as long as the iron is brought, people can even make their own iron pots; The low ones are like the tribes of the north, and there are no iron arrowheads; The situation of the tribes in the east such as Fried Flower and Dong Changang is slightly better, and they belong to people who don't know anything but have seen everything.

In the past, on one side was Tumut of Ida, and on the other side was Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, although they didn't know anything, but they didn't have to know how the chicken was to eat eggs, anyway, some ate and some used.

But now isn't time passing, the grassland is running everywhere is the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and who dares to rob, the naturalization city is occupied by the Ming army, they can't see anything new, and they will run out of food.

This will have the ability to farm the land, which is too powerful for ordinary herdsmen.

It also let the flag soldiers who were in charge of surveying and mapping with the caravan see the wonder of driving sheep and carrying water.

Wang Yue opened 50 acres of land outside the walled city, and the herdsmen who worked for him to learn the ability to farm drove the sheep to the river to fetch water.

"Okay, don't look at it, there will be more strange things in two months, I will write to my family and ask them to find me a few craftsmen who can build waterwheels, and go back to build a big waterwheel in the river, let's not move it and water the ground."

"The merchant you followed was told to go home, and you will rest here for two months, and you will be very fast for two months, and you will not be delayed in anything."

Hearing him speak, the small flag officer of the Beiyang Army sitting on the car board squinted at him and said: "Wang Xiaoqi said it well, how can this not be delayed, the general didn't give me time to wait for constraints, but this delay is two months, so I can't say anything." ”

Half of the small flag officers were left, and the deputy flag officers took four flag soldiers to follow the merchants, after all, their task was to survey and map the situation along the way, and on the other hand, to follow the merchants to play a supervisory role, no matter what the merchants were doing, they all had to know.

They didn't care whether the businessman made money or not, and they didn't care whether the firearms shop had any performance, so the little flag officer stiffened his neck and said, "We are here to fight." ”

"Yo, what's the war again, the ninth issue?" Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "Which one is under the Qianhu standard?" ”

Wang Yue is a soldier of the seventh phase of Beiyang, just after his batch of soldiers were trained, he was sent to Datong Town to guard the pass, and then marched north to enter Guihua City.

Just like these Beiyang Flag Army who followed the surveying and mapping of Shangjia, they were very well armed, but they didn't have the ruthlessness of the veterans, and they knew at a glance that they were recruits.

"Left Guard, the former army of the Thousand Households, Chen Dayou."

Chen Dayou, Wang Yue read this name, raised his eyebrows and said: "When I was in Beiyang, he was still a hundred households, and he stayed as a teacher, did he plan to take the martial arts exam?" ”

"Yes, Qianhu plans to take the martial arts champion and enter the martial arts hall."

The little flag officer took on the role of being questioned, and even ignored Wang Yue's identity as a small flag officer, he smiled and said: "Relax, let's just chat, these two months will not delay your affairs, and they can learn a lot of things, saying that it is a war, do you know who to fight?" ”

To tell the truth, Wang Yue's question is the same question of all the banner soldiers in Naturalization City.

There are not many garrisons near the left side of the Naturalization City, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Banzai Army alone, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry from the Ming Jin Kingdom, and there are a lot of troops.

The court said that there was going to be a war...... But are there any people around this naturalization city that need to be requisitioned?

No, the power of the Naturalization City is in the hands of the three ladies, and the old man of Qiqing Ha is the one who surrendered into the Naturalization City, and his son will not be able to make a big climate, and most of the thrones will be given to the Buta Shili of the Jingshi in the future, but except for the inside of the Ming Jin Kingdom, there is no tribe that can be called an enemy outside.

Could it be that you really want to go to the northwest to conquer Warat?

The imperial court hoarded a large amount of baggage to the Naturalization City, and I heard that the country was still using the Qinglong Army to transport materials for laying wooden rails to Wulianghai, no matter how you look at it, it looks like there is going to be a large-scale expedition behind.

Seeing that the flag army didn't speak, Wang Yue pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his hand and pointed to Jiningyi not far away, and said, "If you want to be okay in the past two months, go to Jiningyi to find Guo Baye to learn how to survive in the ice and snow." ”

Guo Ba in his mouth is the post officer of Jining Station, and he is also from the Beiyang Banner Army, but earlier than them.

"That is the head of the second phase of Beiyang, who has seen a battle with Euroyi in the East, and was sent back blind and delayed in Majiagang for two years, and the imperial court originally asked him to be a teacher, but he was not happy and came to Jining."

Wang Yue said with reverence on his face: "I heard that last winter, he woke up naked every day and went to roll in the snow for a few times, and only started to do things when he woke up. Once you go on the expedition, you can't keep up with the supplies and can't withdraw back, and the winter days outside the Seychelles can be difficult, so it's right to learn a few hands first. ”
