For example, Hou Fangyu is a family of poetry and book heirlooms, and what he is best at is poetry and songs, eight articles, and the most common thing he does is to linger in the brothel Qinglou, a few painting boats, meet friends with poetry, there are beautiful people singing and dancing in harmony, and there are endless elegance and elegance-

Horseback hunting, fighting with fierce beasts, and other most masculine activities for men, but I really have never seen them, so when I heard it, I was full of interest.

However, he was a scholar after all, and when he heard that there were fierce beasts like big insects, men and bears, he was a little scared in his heart, and asked, "Then how many people are under Dong Ce?" But all gone? ”

"There are fifteen or sixteen, I went to take a look, they are all stout and sturdy families, worthy of being generals, and they are ten times better than the soldiers of our Yanghe City. This Dong Ce killed Jiannu and exterminated the horse bandits, how fierce Jiannu is, more than a dozen people can kill thousands of our Ming soldiers and fled, Dong Ce and others can kill a lot of Jiannu heads, it must be extremely capable of fighting, and it should be okay to deal with some fierce beasts. ”

Hou Fangyu nodded, this is the relaxation. He immediately smiled and said, "Find a shopkeeper to rent a horse, let's go with us, and it just so happens that we will eat some delicacies and game at noon to treat our stomachs." ”

Boss Zhang answered, and was about to go out, but suddenly he turned around and said in a low voice: "Childe, you seem to be ...... to this Lord Dong."

He was very puzzled by this, at this time, the civil and military were different, and the status gap was huge. is an ordinary scribe, most of them are not used to it, and they can't look down on martial artists. Hou Fangyu is the son of a family, his father and ancestors are all top literati, and he is a talented and famous, so it stands to reason that he should look down on Dong Ce very much. Besides, Dong Ce is just a thousand households, and there are more generals in Yanghe City with a higher status than him, so why make friends with him like this?

He didn't finish his words, but Hou Gongzi understood the meaning of his words very well. He smiled slightly: "This Lord Dong is not a thing in the pool!" ”

……

Yanghe Chengcheng is in the north.

The north gate is as prosperous and lively as ever,

It was about nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining, and today was a rare good weather. Businesses come and go, lively and lively, and people are boiling.

There were soldiers guarding the city gate, wearing dirty, worn and old mandarin duck battle jackets, but they were not guarding the door, but squatting on the ground on the inside of the city gate to bask in the sun. The weather is good today, and they are in a good mood, but in the past, if it is a wind and there is no sun in the sky, they can only shiver and freeze.

A table was set up at the gate of the city, and a clerk dressed as a clerk sat in the back, and a few soldiers stood next to him, collecting taxes.

A pedestrian who doesn't take anything with an empty hand is a penny, a peddler who goes in to buy vegetables and sell oil or something with a burden is three pennies, and as for the pot village outside the city that comes into the city to sell soju, and the merchants who come from the south to the north pay more.

It is the same as the south gate of Yanghe City when Dong Ce first entered.

Dong Ce and the others rode on horses and went out of the city. On the street, in the middle of the city, people come and go, and the traffic is busy, so naturally you can't ride a horse and run wildly. However, their group is tall and burly, with a strong face, riding a high-headed horse that is rare in the north, and Dong Ce and Hou Fangyu in the front are even more brocade clothes, and they know at a glance that they are people with status and status, and they are all on the road one after another.

When they went out of the city gate, they naturally didn't have to pay money, and the county officials guarding the city gate didn't look at them when they lowered their heads.

Out of the city gate, the prosperity is still the same.

Yanghe City, as a large port in the north, has been developed for hundreds of years, and the land in the city has long been insufficient to support the huge Liaodong heroes. It is 1.6 meters tall, with hooves the size of a small wine barrel, and a long, thick mane that looks messy. Not very neat, but it is the ultimate of a majestic horse, with a ferocious wildness.

The big horse Herod hissed, held his head high, and looked to the side, revealing some humane disdain.

It's arrogant for a reason. Next to Dong Ce, Hou Fangyu was riding a big green donkey, which was shiny and shiny, but it was a very good livestock, and it looked very pleasing to the eye. It is about one meter two or three in height, which is very big among donkeys, but compared with Dong Ce's jujube red horse, it is really too inconspicuous, and it is half a body shorter. Look at it like that, the big red horse can kick it to death with a single kick.

Moreover, this big green donkey also seemed to be very afraid of his huge and burly distant relative, and did not dare to walk side by side with him, half a position behind, and refused to move forward no matter how Hou Fangyu drove him.

Hou Fangyu was already much shorter than Dong Ce, and the mount under his crotch was much shorter than Dong Ce's, and he was also half a position behind, so that he looked at him like Dong Ce's follower.

Hou Fangyu's eldest prince's face was blue and red for a while, and after trying to make this donkey angry again, he scolded one after another: "This uncompetitive dog thing." ”

Dong Ce looked at it and laughed: "Hou Gongzi, why don't we change it?" ”

"Really?"

Hou Fangyu naturally saw that this was Dong Ce's love, but he didn't expect him to be willing to cut his love, and he was overjoyed at the moment. But in a blink of an eye, he waved his hand in frustration: "That's it, that's it, your horse is too fierce, if I go up, I'm afraid I won't let him take off a hoof, it won't be beautiful." ”

Although he is a scholar, he is not weak, in order to strengthen his body, he also learned some swordsmanship from the martial artist of the nursing home at home, but he didn't put much effort into it, and this time it has already been a big forest in the northern border of Jin, between the trees, the distance is not very dense, but the area is very large, as far as the eye can see, it looks like a huge ocean.

It's the middle of winter, and many of the trees have lost their leaves, but it's not just an endless gray and white, mixed with a touch of deep dark green. There are three most abundant tree species here - pine, poplar and birch.

In this era, a large area of mountains and forests in the north of Jin Province is still very intact, of course, this completeness is compared with later generations, compared with the previous dynasty, the forest has been cut down very much.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty was the most deforested era in the region.

Although the Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties, the Northern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty all built the Great Wall in and around this area, the time and scale of its construction were far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Mengyuan forces that retreated to the north of the Ming Dynasty did not die and invaded frequently, and the later Tatars, Wasang, Altan and other departments rose one after another, invading and harassing from time to time. Therefore, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, began to build a series of defense projects such as the Great Wall and Guanbao, and then continued to increase and build repeatedly, and became the outer Great Wall and the inner Great Wall as the main body, and equipped with a lot of Guanbao and more beacon piers, etc., a series of defense projects in depth and far away.

For more than 270 years, the Ming Dynasty continued to build, expand and strengthen the Great Wall and other defensive projects. The sheer scale of its construction, the depth of its construction, and the completeness of its fortification system are all incomparable to those of previous dynasties.

The main factor in the large-scale felling of trees was the repeated construction of buildings such as the Great Wall and its ancillary piers, the construction of a large number of fortifications such as castles, the construction of shacks and houses, tools, timber erections, and fire materials. In addition, hundreds of thousands of troops have been stationed on the nine sides for a long time, plus the families and attachés of the officers, and of course the destruction of the forest has continued one after another. After King Yan usurped the throne, he moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, and rebuilt the Kyoto Palace and other buildings on the site of the Yuan capital. It lasted for a long time and was large-scale, with as many as 230,000 craftsmen and millions of people, and the project was huge, and the wood was taken from here. Guangxu's "Shanxi Tongzhi Memorabilia" volume 86: "Yongle four years of edict, to build a Beijing palace next year, the ministers of the relics in Shanxi."
