Chapter XVII

During the banquet, Ah Guda asked Aru Man, "Is there anyone else in your family?" How did you end up here? ”

Aru said, "I don't have anyone else in my house. I offended the Khitans and fled in all directions, fortunately with these Han brothers. Our patriarch Hu Shimen was very kind to me, but because I offended the Khitans, he couldn't shelter me, so he had to cover me to escape. ”

Ah Guda groaned: "Now that my department is strong, why don't you join my Wanyan clan and call Wanyan Aluman, how about it?" ”

Aru said happily: "Okay! But I want to live with Brother Zhe and them. ”

Ah Guda thought for a while and nodded, "That's no problem." ”

That night, everyone was drunk and lay in the open air. Aru was especially drunk.

Yang Yingqi is a "child", he said that he couldn't drink, went to bed early, and got up the next day when he turned white and ran to the river beach to survey the terrain. When he came back at noon, several leaders had not woken up, so Yang Yingqi pulled out all the people who were not drunk, carried the fence, nailed the wooden stakes, and surrounded the river beach promised by Aguda.

Ouyang Shi was the second to wake up, and when he saw Yang Yingqi busy, he grabbed him and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" A beachbreaker, afraid that someone will rob you? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If things are slow, there will be changes. Although the river beach is small, it is always a place for us to live. Ah Guda's words yesterday are hidden in mysteries. There are few of us, and if we break him up and insert him into the Jurchens, then we can really only be Jurchen teachers in the future. ”

Ouyang Shi nodded yes, and said, "But what do you want this river beach for?" The grass didn't grow a few too! You can't grow anything. Zhou Sheng, that old farmer, must hate you so much. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If it is a good place that everyone knows, where will it be easy to give it to us?" The results of farming are slow and can be postponed, anyway, we only have 300 people, and the rations we need can be completely squeezed out of the Jurchen population. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "How to squeeze?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Ah Guda promised to share the benefits of the mountains and rivers and grasslands with us, hehe, their tools are poor, our tools are good, their technology is poor, our technology is good, many things they can't use will become treasures in our hands." Look at it, it won't take a year and a half for the Jurchens to envy our lives. Akuta wants to assimilate us, and I want to assimilate them! ”

He and Zhang Laoyu discussed and mastered the method of burning red bricks as early as in the Valley of the Plague, at this time, they first dug out the soil in the low-lying area, piled the soil for a kiln, and burned the mud to make bricks. The cavalry trained by Cao Guangbi went out to inquire and look for the raw materials that Yang Yingqi wanted. There are no major coal mines in the vicinity, but there are small ones. It is not difficult to get wood. Iron was found not far away!

Soon the bricks were fired, and a large pit had formed in the low-lying area! This pit was originally located next to the river, separated from it by a thin mud wall.

After this matter came to an end, Yang Yingqi was preparing to fish in the dry river again -- this dry river did not really drain the river, but erected a fence in the shallow part of the river.

After the fence was built, Yang Yingqi came to the big pit formed by digging the soil before, and asked people to chisel the mud wall, and the river water poured in, forming a large pool. The river downstream is shallow, and many fish have stranded in the dirt and stone fence that was fenced off before. Yang Kaiyuan led the people to catch all the fish, and the big fish were given to the Jurchens, and the Jurchens got the benefits, and they didn't care much about the sudden shallowness of the river, anyway, it didn't take long to return to normal. The small fish were divided into different types, and the carnivorous fish were removed, leaving only the herbivorous fish as seeds, and thrown into the large pond. The confluence of the pond and the river is separated by a wooden fence to prevent the fish from escaping.

Then Yang Yingqi used honey to attract many teenage Jurchen children, organized them to put cattle and sheep in the pen, and used the surplus horses to exchange pigs from the Jurchens and raise them in captivity. Livestock in captivity can not run around, and the meat will grow quickly.

They were busy during the day and lived in tents at night - the ability to set up tents was brought by Xiao Tienu and his gang, and it was passed down from the Mongolian department.

Soon the brick house was built, and Yang Yingqi planned it well, with an ancestral hall, living room, conference room, teaching room, toilet, etc. Those kilns have not been abandoned and can be used for future pottery making. Yang Yingqi also vacated some places as the location of the future forging room.

Zhi Yanchong, Di Yu, Xiao Tienu and A Lu Man took dozens of knights to accompany Ah Gu to hunt every day, and they ignored Yang Yingqi's affairs and didn't seem to care at all. Ah Guta didn't pay attention at first.

It wasn't until two months later that the village was completed, and he inadvertently saw the smoke curling in the village, so he was taken aback, and brought someone to see it. Although the scale of this small village is small, everything is neat and clean, with a river embankment on the right and a fish pond on the side, and the establishment of public toilets, the layout of ditches, and the location of the ancestral hall are all in good order. When I returned to Huining City, I felt that it was dilapidated everywhere, and there was nothing to see.

He thought about it for a while, and came to see Wu Yashu overnight and told him about the Hanbu village.

Wu Yashu groaned: "We have only known how to build a house for living since Sui Kezu, and it has only been a hundred years so far. But I heard that the Han people understood these things from two or three thousand years ago. It is not surprising that they know more about these things than we do. I heard that the palace of the Song people is as beautiful as heaven, but they are still beaten by the Khitans? In my opinion, these are not to be feared. As long as they are used by us, then their strengths are our strengths. ”

Ah Gu said: "What my brother said is good. Suddenly remembered something and said: "When I entered the village, that Yang Kaiyuan kept telling me that where the feng shui is good and where the look is beautiful, hey, the Han people are too deep in these meaningless things, which is why they are poor and weak." ”

Wu Yashu sighed: "But no matter what, the knowledge of the Han people still has to be learned." After all, they are orthodox. Their knowledge is unmatched by all nations and tribes. Well, they said they were going to teach our children to read, why haven't we started yet? ”

Ah Gu said: "They said that they had to get a good place to live, so that they had the heart to do things, and this is not true." It's just that I didn't expect it to take more than two months for them to get it. ”

Wu Yashu said: "Isn't this also their shortcoming? We live in a house, and the day depends on the day, but they have to fiddle for more than two months. No matter how beautiful the temple is, it is a burden. ”

This night in the Han village was a different scene, after half a year of sleep, wandering for months, at this time there was finally a place to sleep with peace of mind.

In the "Temple Calculation Hall", Di Yu said to Zhi Yan: "The people's hearts are finally stable, but it seems that there are signs of slackness. ”

Orihiko said: "This is inevitable. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is just that, one hundred and sixty horsemen is our big capital, but it can't be wasted. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The best way is naturally hunting!" Reconnoitring, ambushing, encircling, pounce - all the art of war is contained in it. It is not unreasonable that all dynasties have attached importance to hunting, but it has been peaceful for a long time, and hunting has become a ritual, and it cannot have the effect of training soldiers at all. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the same is true for the military." Tomorrow, Brother Kaiyuan will preside over the revision of the book, and I support the refining of weapons. These days, observing the Jurchens' so-called 'soldiers of Wuchun good craftsmen' is nothing more than Er'er. I have a new method, which can be used to forge good steel by blowing the wind with water, and we will make our weapons more sophisticated than those of the Jurchens. ”

Zhi Yan Chong said: "Just make an ordinary weapon." It's much better than the Jurchens, so it doesn't have to. ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned, and Yang Kaiyuan said: "You know how to let me talk to Ah Guda about the victory of feng shui and the beauty of roof tiles, why are you confused about this?" ”

Yang Yingqi immediately saved, knowing that he had to be in a guest place, so as not to be jealous of the Jurchens, and sighed: "It's a pity, there is such a good geographical location." I've even chosen a place where the water level drops. Alas, that's it. ”
