Zhao Meng drove his livestock and grazed in the pasture that belonged to him.

On the field, the vast pastures within a radius of 100 miles are full of herdsmen like Zhao Meng.

Armed with harnesses and whips, they patrol the herd to prevent mischievous and mischievous cubs from getting lost.

It's tiring and boring.

But it's incredibly satisfying.

When the sun gradually rose, Zhao Meng and other herdsmen began to drive and guide the herd towards their homes.

It didn't take long for them to meet in the vast grassland.

Eventually, a large herd of livestock was formed.

After the Battle of Mayi, the Han family placed all the troops and generals of the old Loufu tribe in this place.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of livestock were allocated.

These livestock, of course, are not annoying.

They are the property of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in the annoying pastoral area of Lou, there are groups of Han horsemen, fully armed and patrolling.

These are the cavalry of the Lou Fu Army, which is directly subordinate to the Lou Fu General Yingyin Hou Guan He.

When Zhao Meng and other herdsmen drove their livestock back, these cavalry appeared on both sides of the herd from time to time, which was both protection and surveillance.

Zhao Meng was not surprised by this.

Suppose that now, those old Lou annoyance aristocrats may still have some tricks and some ghost ideas.

However, lower-class herdsmen like Zhao Meng had already voted with their feet, and regarded themselves as the most loyal and reliable slaves and minions of the Han Emperor.

Driving the livestock, Zhao Meng didn't go far before he saw his home.

Originally, Lou Annoying was placed behind this sun-making grassland.

Ordered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the general Yingyin Hou Guan He ordered the Lou Fu people to organize households and people, and imitated the Xiang Pavilion system of the Han Dynasty, and established a pastoral village or pastoral township where they lived in a concentrated manner.

The place where Zhao Meng lives is called 'Jiaxiang, Hanzaoyang County'.

It means the meaning of the largest township in Zaoyang County.

And that's exactly what happened.

The entire Jiaxiang was built under a hill.

Before the mountain mausoleum, a radius of more than ten miles, it was a residential area in Jiaxiang.

Every home is at least 300 steps apart.

Each house has a sturdy house made of bricks and beams.

The house looks a little low, but it is very suitable for herders.

In the open space outside the house, there are several large fences, which are made of bamboo and wood, and grass and wood are placed inside.

There are even wooden sheds for pregnant animals and cubs.

The shed is topped with straw and covered with hay.

Whether it is windy or rainy, it will not affect the mother beast and cubs inside.

Zhao Meng's home is in a corner of this Jia Township.

When he drove his livestock home, his wife, holding two special milking tools issued by Han officials, was squatting in a wooden shed to milk cows and horses.

Recently, two cows and a mare gave birth to cubs in Zhao Meng's livestock.

The foal and calf were both newly born.

So, there is a lot of fresh milk.

Zhao Meng drove the livestock into the fence, and the two men who were short in stature and dressed in tatters immediately began to take over the rest of the work.

They separated those animals according to size and kind.

The cubs and the mother beast were herded into the wooden shed.

Others are put in different fences.

The two men were herders who had fled from the Xiongnu last year.

After the Battle of Mayi, Shan Yuting intensified the exploitation and oppression of small and medium-sized vassal tribes.

Every day, tribes are cornered and large numbers of herders flee.

Many of them came to Zaoyang, a Han Dynasty ranch outside the Great Wall, to make a living.

For these people, the herdsmen are very welcome.

The refugees were taken in to help take care of their livestock, clean up, harvest and dry pasture.

And the reward is to keep them fed every day.

Zhao Meng told the two refugees to pay attention to the safety of their cubs.

Then, he came to the wooden shed, looked at the sleeping son on Xijun's back, grinned, and smirked.

At this moment, Zhao Meng felt very down-to-earth and sufficient.

This is a feeling he has never had in the past in the Huns.

"Master!" Zhao's wife looked back at her husband, grinned greatly, and then ordered: "Hurry up and help me light the fire, after a while, all this milk will have to be made into cheese!" ”

"Yesterday, the price of cheese in the township went up again! Now a pound can be sold for more than ten dollars! I have to seize this opportunity and sell it for more money, so that in winter, I will ask the government to build two green storage cellars for me, and hire carpenters to pick up a few wooden sheds...... "Zhao's wife is a typical Chinese woman, simple, kind and very assertive and planned.

In her heart, everything is in order.

She crossed her fingers and made the account clear: "Wait until next year, the cubs and the mother beast will have a place to live, and they don't have to huddle together anymore!" The veterinarian of the government said that this is very good for the mother animal and the cubs! ”

When Zhao Meng heard this, he laughed stupidly, and immediately went to chop firewood.

Although Zhao Meng's stature was not as tall and stout as that of the Han Chinese, he had well-developed limbs and was extremely powerful.

In addition, now he is not short of nutrition and food, so he has a lot of strength.

Soon, he chopped dry wood.

It just so happened that at this time, the herdsmen of the two domestic servants were also busy with their work, so they naturally would not wait stupidly.

In fact, the herdsmen on the steppe are generally very simple.

The host gave me food and shelter, so I naturally had to work hard.

It is impossible for a skill such as laziness to appear in herders.

Because, as long as the herdsman is a little lazy, the whole family will starve to death!

Therefore, when they saw the dry firewood on Zhao Meng's side, they immediately came over to help clean it up.

At this time, suddenly, a bell rang from the direction of the township office.

Boom!

Another bang!

Zhao Meng stopped what he was doing.

Zhao Meng's wife also stood up and looked in the direction of the township office.

As a member of Lou Furen, Zaoyang County of the Han Empire, and a member of Lou Furen's army.

Zhao Meng and his wife understand very well what the bell of the township government office represents?

Only the two herdsmen looked dazed.

Boom!

A moment later, there was another sound.

"Three bells!" Zhao Meng's wife first shouted: "Boss, the Son of Heaven has ordered troops!" Put on your armor, bring your bow and arrows, and report to the township office, if you go late, you won't be able to eat the emperor's food! ”

Zhao Meng also jumped up immediately and hurriedly walked home.

He took off the bow and arrows hanging on the wall, put on the leather armor that his wife had sewn last winter, and brought the arrow basket with him, and put in the arrows that were treasured in the cupboard.

Then, Zhao Meng went out and selected the best war horse among his family's livestock.

This war horse is tall and handsome, with powerful hooves and healthy teeth.

It's a rare BMW!

It is also Zhao Meng's favorite and most beloved horse.

Originally, he planned to wait until the autumn, when the Son of Heaven sent the imperial history to recruit horses, and dedicate this horse to the great Son of Heaven as a contribution.

But now, Zhao Meng felt that it was more appropriate to ride it to make meritorious contributions to the Son of Heaven!

"Great Son of Heaven, your slave and maid, die for you!" In his heart, Zhao Meng clenched his fists and shouted.

Then he called the two herdsmen who had been taken in by him, took the saber that had just been tied to his waist, and said to them: "I will be ordered to fight for the Emperor of Han, and you stay at home, take care of the master mother and livestock, and wait until I return from the battle!" ”

"Yes, master!" The two herdsmen quickly knelt on the ground and touched the ground with their foreheads.

Although the building is annoying, under the control and guidance of the Han government, it has gradually become sinicized.

But deep-rooted customs and traditions still affect them.

Their way of thinking and way of looking at things still have a strong Xiongnu color.

When the master goes out on the expedition, the slave has to die at home, working hard and waiting for the master to return.

And these two herdsmen, who had fled, of course knew the rules of nomadic herders.

As for leaving two male slaves at home, will it be detrimental to the hostess?

At this point, Zhao Meng was very relieved.

If he goes on an expedition, then he will get rid of those of his fellow clans who did not go on the expedition to take care of his wives and children, not to mention, the Han government will also take care of them.

Riding a war horse, Zhao Meng and the other Loufu herdsmen rushed to the place where the bell rang - the official office of Jiaxiang.

Since the floor annoying has been placed in since.

The Han government began to implement a household registration management method modeled after the Chinese household registration system.

At the beginning, the building was annoying for five people.

But as the Lou Nuren and the Han people began to intermarry, those men who started families independently were listed separately.

Today, more than 9,000 troops have been surrendered, and more than 8,000 households have been killed.

Here in Jiaxiang, there are 1,500 households of Loufu herdsmen.

Every hundred, it is organized into a kiosk.

There are a total of fifteen pavilions in the township.

According to the system, once something happens, each pavilion needs to send fifty troops.

The whole Jiaxiang should form a cavalry of 500 people.

Armed with horses, bows and arrows, and dry rations, everyone received orders from the Son of Heaven to conquer and crusade against any enemy who was condemned to heaven.

In Jiaxiang, the Han family set up a dual official setting with the old Loufu nobles as the wanderers and the Han army officers as the Qiangfu.

And today, the old Loufu nobles have long been transferred to Shanggu County by the Han government under the pretext of 'training' and 'rotation training', and go there to receive Han language and cultural training.

The excuse is naturally a grand title - for Hanchen, he speaks Chinese and uses the Han system of etiquette.

Therefore, now, in Jiaxiang, the person who talks about it is the Qiang man appointed by General Lou Fu.

This Qiang man's surname is Zhao, he has a full beard, and although he is not tall, he is not short.

The height of seven feet is nothing in the Han army.

But in front of the many Lou Fu cavalry in this Jiaxiang, they are like giants.

At this moment, this Zhao Qiangfu, holding the order just issued from the Yamen of General Loufu, stood on the steps of the township official's office, looking at the herdsmen of Loufu who came like a river flowing into the sea, densely packed, with bows and arrows, and riding war horses.

He nodded with satisfaction.

For more than a year, he and his colleagues have overcome obstacles here, starting from small things bit by bit.

Finally, these troublesome barbarians who didn't know what the system and law were, knew and learned the meaning of the Chinese system and law.

Several training camps also allowed him to grasp and understand the ideas and ideas of these past Yidi.

What happened next, of course, was no surprise.

The speed of sinicization of the herdsmen and the centripetal force and cohesion of the Han family have been continuously enhanced.

Today, he can pat his chest and tell the Son of Heaven in Chang'an and his boss: 1,500 households in Jiaxiang are all loyal ministers of His Majesty, and the sharp arrows of the Han Dynasty!

And the method he used was actually similar to the method used by the Han nobles and scholars to entrap and control their tenants and retainers.

It is nothing more than undressing and pushing food and eating.

It's just a slight change in the means.

Look at the more and more gathered, but orderly and disciplined herdsmen.

Zhao Qiangfu smiled with deep satisfaction.

With these 1,500 herdsmen and their support, I, a low-born Lou Fuqi, finally have a foundation for my life!

This is also the source of the reason why Zhao Qiangfu and his pavilion chiefs have worked hard in the past year or so, braving the wind and rain and not avoiding the cold and summer!

In this yang-making land, the indoctrination building is annoying, leading and leading them, from scratch, to establish a huge Jiaxiang, complete the upper and lower institutions, not only for the sake of empty ideals and ambitions.

but also for their own future and that of future generations.

Their hard work today is a guarantee for laying a solid foundation for future generations and future generations.

Just like it is now.

"The family foundation is in my hands, and the foundation has been laid!" Zhao's surname Qiang Fu couldn't close his mouth happily in his heart.

Fifteen hundred soldiers skilled in archery and horse-ridden.

In the interior, in one county, it is also impossible to single out so many suitable soldiers.

Not to mention training them!

Even the lieges couldn't afford such a big task.

Only the imperial court can continuously train cavalry with the power of the whole country.

And the strong and the aristocratic can only take a ride on the court.

However, he, a low-ranking officer from a humble family, was only promoted to the rank of captain after following the chariot general in the Battle of Ma Yi and beheading him by the third rank, but he was already able to have the support and followers of 1,500 horsemen!

This means that he has struggled for at least thirty years less!

What's more important is that Lou is annoyed and has a simple mind and a straightforward personality.

They often recognize a thing or a surname, and they will follow it from generation to generation.

And now, the Lou Fu of this Jiaxiang is a pawn, and half of the Han surnames in Thailand are all surnamed Zhao.

It's both an acknowledgment of his work and a way to tell him that I'm with you.

Future generations, as long as they are not stupid, can basically still be recognized and supported by these descendants.

This is a human heart that is more precious than a knighthood!

It is also the most important wealth of a family - popularity.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiangfu only felt that the future of himself and his family was simply a smooth road, extremely bright, and in the future, maybe he could even get a Guan Neihou or two thousand stones!

The others are basically all here.

Zhao Qiangfu took the dozens of soldiers under his command, looked at the dense Loufu cavalry in front of him, and first bowed in the direction of Chang'an: "The Holy Son of Heaven has already ordered: Fu Xiongnu Ji Congee has no way, should be killed!" In accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, my Jiaxiang immediately organized a cavalry horse, a cavalry of 500 people, followed General Lou Fu, and crusaded against the Huns without a way!****** ”

"Hooray!" Riding a horse, Zhao Meng and other colleagues crowded in the crowd raised their arms and shouted, their Chinese language was still a little stiff, but the voice resounded throughout the world: "Long live the Son of Heaven, crusade against the Ji Congee clan!" ”

Beat their old masters, the building is annoying, and there is no opinion at all.

They are even more active than the Han Chinese.

The reason is simple, they need to use the blood of their past masters to tell Han Tianzi - we are your loyal minions, faithful slaves.

Zhao Qiangfu saw it, and nodded with great satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
