Section 590 New World (6)
After spending almost half a year in Xinhua City, Bo Shi basically figured out the scope of the Haoren's activities.
The Hao people make a living from fishing and hunting, and of course, there are some very primitive farming practices.
However, the farming efficiency of the Hao people is very low.
Basically, it stays in the era of slash-and-burn cultivation and watching the sky to eat.
To be precise, they only sow seeds, and they don't care about pulling weeds, fertilizing them, or taking care of them.
Perhaps it is more practical for the Hao people to go hunting in rivers and forests instead of digging in the soil - a radius of thousands of miles centered on Xinhua City, swamps, primeval forests, countless wild beasts, and rivers also have enough fish and shrimp.
Especially in summer and autumn, there is no need to worry about not having enough food.
The rivers and forests of this rich land can fully feed the stomachs of all the people.
Under such circumstances, the Hao people have no sense of distress at all, and they do not attach importance to agriculture at all.
They often migrate along what they call fishing seas and other rivers and lakes in summer and autumn, where they go and eat there.
Then in the winter, they returned to the ancestral land near Xinhua City and ate the dried fish and meat they left over from the summer. As for what to do when you finish eating? In the past, this question was basically never considered by the people.
Therefore, the range of activities of the Hao people, like that of the Huns in the northern grasslands, is very large.
Many tribes can even live as far away as thousands of miles away from Xinhua City.
It's colder, it's wilder, it's more primitive, it's more savage.
In April of this year, Bo Shi once led the troops of Sima Shi, a cavalry member of the Huhao Army, to travel all the way for a month. Arrived at the border of the people's activities and surveyed the map. Investigate the topography and people.
Therefore, Bo Shi also knows. There, there were two tribes called Xianbei and Wuheng.
Out of prudence, Bo Shi chose to return to his teacher after surveying and mapping the local geography.
This also leads to the fact that Bo Shi's knowledge of Wuheng and Xianbei is limited.
After hearing that it was the Xianbei people who attacked the Haoren tribe, Bo Shi's Great Huaxia mentality immediately swelled.
For today's Han family, except for the Xiongnu, there are no tribes and regimes in the whole world. It can make the Han family act cautiously.
In Bo Shi's opinion, Xianbei, Puer Yidi, and the Hao people who dared to violate the protection of the Son of Heaven are really impatient!
So, Bo Shi waved his hand, and confidently patted Nangong Xin on his chest and promised: "Canghai Jun, but please rest assured, this captain will serve the saint and protect the nobles." Surely the nobles will not be deceived by others! ”
Speaking of this, Bo Shi said murderously: "After I return to the city, I will immediately send an envoy to the Xianbei tribe." Xiaoyu and its chieftain immediately handed over the murderer who attacked the nobles and promised not to infringe on the nobles again. Otherwise, Captain Pontus will play the Son of Heaven. Heaven's Soldiers, please! ”
Bo Shi's confidence is very sufficient!
On this cold turf, the equipment of the Han army. Basically, it was the same as the equipment of the Zenith, completely crushing all the surrounding tribes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of the Protector Army alone is enough to sweep through all the tribes within a radius of thousands of miles.
Little Xianbei, isn't it possible to pinch to death with one finger?
When Nangong Xin heard this, his face suddenly smiled so much that his eyes were about to come together, and he felt that the thighs of the Han Dynasty were thick!
So, he said happily: "Thank you, Captain, for being my master!" ”
"It should be ......" is a more reserved way in the world, but it is also infinitely useful in his heart.
China's aristocratic scholar class has always loved this set, and it is especially used by it.
As he spoke, the immigrants in this immigrant settlement were basically all there.
The officers who were in charge of counting the number of people, holding a roster, took the roll call one by one.
After confirming that everyone had arrived, Bo Shi got off his horse, raised his eyes to look at the immigrants, and said slightly, "Everyone, the contemptible person is the captain of the Protector Army, and the Xinhua Order Bo Shi!" ”
"Meet Mingfu!" The migrants shook their heads.
Bo Shi listened to the words 'Ming Fu', and was in a very good mood.
He was particularly interested in this kind of thing on the herding side, but in the past, he, the new order appointed by the Son of Heaven, could only be a bare-bones commander, and at most he could take care of those hairy people.
Now, at last, there is the first people under his rule.
This made Bo Shi quite a little geared up, and he had the urge to do something big.
It's just that Bo Shi suddenly found that it seemed that he had never had any experience in civil affairs before.
Before the age of thirty, Bo Shi had always stayed at home and squatted, at most, he followed his father and relatives and friends, and walked in the countryside a few times, called picking poems, which was actually a tour.
This made his brain a little staggered at the moment, as he realized that he had not put together any immigration development plans so far.
However, he soon came back to his senses.
It doesn't matter.
Because he was a relative, when he was young, Bo Shi received the orthodox Huang Laoxue education.
The core of Huang Laoxue's ideology lies in 'rule by inaction'.
The core focus of the so-called 'rule by inaction' is to give power to those who know how to do things, and let experts be responsible for doing things.
Such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Wang Ling, they are all capable people here.
Cao Shen even set a record of getting drunk every day for two consecutive months, while government affairs were in order.
"I have to write a letter of resignation to my uncle, asking for a few talented retainers to come here to help me...... Bo Shi thought to himself.
As a relative, especially a relative of Wanhu Hou, he naturally won't worry about talents.
Like Dou Ying, who became a general the year before last, Zhang Wuhou and Nan Pihou prepared a staff group of more than 50 people and more than 200 capable family members for Dou Ying.
It is precisely because of the sweetness that Dou Ying returned to the court, he actually started the dream of the world's 'Meng Weijun', and solicited diners and guests, at the peak, there were more than 1,000 people to eat and live in Dou Mansion......
However, before Bo Shi left Beijing, he heard that Dou Ying was called over by the Son of Heaven for a lecture, and now he has reined in a lot.
Thinking like this, Bo Shi is full of confidence.
He said to the immigrants: "You have worked hard all the way, in order to welcome you to Xinhua, Mr. Canghai Jun Nangong is in Hao Village not far away. Prepare a little light wine and welcome you......"
Nangong Xin also showed his face at the right time. He smiled at the immigrants.
As the king of Canghai sealed by the Son of Heaven, Nangong Xin's status is theoretically equal to that of the princes of the Han family.
Originally. He didn't need to come forward.
However, when the Son of Heaven is a Son of Heaven who likes to be pro-Han of vassals, the more pro-Han he is, the more he can be welcomed by the Son of Heaven.
In order to brush up on the favor of the Son of Heaven, Nangong Xin can be regarded as pulling down his face.
However, the immigrants were not interested in this so-called Canghai Jun who was dressed like a nobleman of the Han family, and everyone's attention was attracted by the word wine.
In China, wine is a luxury. At the same time, it is also a long-standing member of the list of prohibited goods.
However, this has made the people more passionate about alcoholic beverages, and alcoholism in China is even one of the symbols of husbands.
Those who choose to emigrate to distant frontiers in the unknown are basically young, strong, and healthy adult men.
The ratio of women to children to the elderly is very low.
When these people heard that there was wine to drink, they immediately went crazy with joy.
If it weren't for the fact that they were accustomed to obeying the government's arrangements and were very afraid of the government, they would have jumped up.
Zhang Weiyang swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in his throat.
Heaven can see mercy!
The last time I drank was two years ago. The new monarch ascends the throne, when the world is fed!
Half an hour later, under the escort of the cavalry, Zhang Weiyang and his party. Arrived at a village that was very similar in style to the immigrant village he had stayed in yesterday.
The only difference is that the head of this village has a wooden fence. On the sharpened fence, all kinds of animal skins are hung.
Among them, there are many intact bears and leopards. Even at the main gate of the village, there is a huge tiger head.
This made Zhang Weiyang smash his tongue.
"This person is too extravagant...... Zhang Weiyang thought to himself.
In Handan. A tiger skin is at least worth thousands of dollars, and if it is a complete tiger skin in good condition, it is often tens of thousands or even 100,000 yuan to buy.
In other words, the fence of this village in Haoren is hung with all kinds of dried animal skins, which are worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in Handan, and may even exceed one million dollars.
When he entered the village, Zhang Weiyang found that both sides of the road were crowded with crowds of onlookers.
There were old people, there were children, and even more were young women.
The appearance of these people is not much different from other Han people that Zhang Weiyang has seen.
The only difference is probably their outfit and hairstyle.
Most of the clothes worn by these people seem to be various leathers.
As for the hairstyle, it is very different from China.
Most of their men wore their hair in small braids, while the women wore flowers on their heads, and the style was basically the same as that of Chinese women.
When Zhang Weiyang walked through a place where there were many women, he could even smell the fragrance emanating from the other party.
It was a young woman's smell, mixed with the scent of grass.
"They've just freshened up?" Zhang Weiyang thought to himself.
These young women are completely different from the characters of the Handan lady Zhang Weiyang has seen.
Handan's little lady, although she is also very generous, never shy away from socializing with men and laughing.
It's just that......
Zhang Weiyang could clearly feel that when he walked past those alien girls, at least three young ladies boldly threw a wink at him, and even a young lady pulled Zhang Weiyang's sleeve, and then quickly blushed and lowered her head.
In the past, Zhang Weiyang had never had such an experience.
It made him a little cramped.
When his brother saw it, he was a little annoyed, ran to his side, and said, "Erlang, you have to be bold, these young ladies like husbands who are responsible and confident!" ”
As a person who has come over, Zhang Qi is very clear about the needs of women or the criteria for choosing a mate.
A strong, confident, courageous, and protective man.
Seeing that his younger brother seemed to be a little shy, Zhang Qi couldn't help but hate iron and steel: "Erlang, you are like this, how can you marry a fine gentleman!" ”
"Marrying a fine gentleman?" Zhang Weiyang was a little puzzled.
"Of course!" Zhang Qi explained: "Otherwise, what do you think these little ladies are doing? Brother Wei told you that they are here to pick their future husbands, and it is not uncommon for them to get married tonight! ”
In this place of Yidi's new service, there is no etiquette such as Najib's appointment.
If you look at the right eye, you can take it home directly.
Thinking of getting married, Zhang Weiyang had endless ambitions in his heart.
Although, when they were in Handan, the rangers often said: Why is the eldest husband without a wife?
But Zhang Weiyang really suffers from having no wife!
Zhao Di Xiaoniang is not something that a poor man like him can afford to marry.
Most poor people like Zhang Weiyang often end up racking their brains to seduce a widow at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen in order to complete their ambition of marriage.
Of course, the price is that he likes to be a father and become a stepfather to several children.
What's more, often many people who like to be fathers may not be able to figure out who the father of these stepsons is!
Zhao Di's atmosphere is known as the world's far-reaching!
Since the Warring States period, it has been the base camp of singers and dancers all over the world.
Most of the world's blowing, playing, singing, and entertaining industries originated from Zhaodi.
In the family of the Marquis of Chang'an, most of the singers are from various singer training camps in Zhao State.
Of course, there are also daughters of serious families, and there are many of them.
But the problem is, I can't afford to marry!
No one will pull the little lady who has worked hard to educate them and marry a poor man who can't even support himself.
Originally, Zhang Weiyang thought that in his life, he might be a happy father.
I didn't expect that in this foreign land far from my homeland, there would be such a good thing!
After thinking about it, Zhang Weiyang dared to ask his brother: "These little ladies, do you want a dowry?" ”
In Handan, the dowry of the little lady is often a cow, plus a few thousand dollars, as well as jewelry, new clothes or something, and Zhang Weiyang is sold, and he can't make up so much money.
What's more troublesome is that even if you sell it, no one wants it.
With the order of the Son of Heaven, the Han slaves and maids, after the calculation of five, the landlords and wealthy merchants in the world did not like to ask for Han slaves and maids very much, and they were more willing to buy those Yidi slaves and maids.
Even if it costs a few thousand more!
"Dowry?" Zhang Qi smiled: "As long as you are strong enough to protect them, there are still upside downs!" ”
Zhang Qi remembered the beautiful little lady who was snatched away last year.
That little lady is the daughter of a nobleman in Haoren, Li Dazui married her, not only is she a delicate and beautiful girl, but the old man also gave ten skins of bears, tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts.
The goods were sold to merchants who came to Xinhua to trade, and they got a fortune of more than 100,000 yuan.
It's really envious of others!
The brother's words completely ignited Zhang Weiyang's passion.
Don't have a dowry, don't ask too much, those young ladies suddenly became cute in Zhang Weiyang's eyes.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take a little lady back!" Zhang Weiyang said loudly to his brother.
It's just that when Zhang Weiyang understood this, he turned around and looked at his companions.
He found that almost all the men were red-eyed and looked at the others around them with unkind eyes.
Everyone knows very well what it means to have a little lady.
It's not just a question of someone warming the bed, and it's not just a matter of passing on the lineage.
It's more of an economic issue!
One more population, one more labor!
With one more laborer, one more land can be cultivated and more crops can be cultivated.
Therefore, not to mention that these young ladies look good.
Even if Sister Feng is like a flower, she pinched her nose and wanted to marry! (To be continued......)
