Chapter 242: The Prairie Becomes a New Lord
Shuofang City! Located in the Hetao Plain, which is rich in water and grass and fertile land, it is occupied by the Turkic people, who are the most powerful in the steppe, and it is also the only passage into the steppe stuck in the Hetao.
"Duh! I can't! Tong Lifu is dead, the association rate, the two of them are still young, and they can't suppress the hungry wolves on the grassland! The Turks will be handed over to you. "A generation of male masters, Shibi Khan has deep eyes sunken, his face is bloodless, and he said with a side head and difficulty.
"Khan!" Ashina and Dubi screamed sadly, tears dripping from their eyes, but after they lowered their heads, no one saw the smile in their eyes.
"Khan, don't worry, the little brother will definitely take care of Shi Bo and the association rate, lead the Turkic warriors, and avenge you!" Ashina and Dubi secretly rejoiced in their hearts that when they went on the expedition last year, their brother died, and he survived. Raising his head, he wiped away his tears, patted his chest and reassured.
"Nope! No! In a short time, don't take revenge! Guard Shuofang, guard Yinshan! We can't let the people of the Central Plains slaughter our people anymore. Shi Bi suddenly stretched out his palm, which was thin as chicken feet, and grabbed Ashina, and said urgently.
Last winter, Li Jing led people to destroy tens of thousands of people in Yinshan, and after learning the news, Shibi Khan could no longer bear the blow and could not afford to fall ill.
"A fool will avenge you!" Ashina and Dubi muttered in their hearts, the battle in Youzhou knocked out his confidence, not to mention that on the grassland, it is not so stable now, and many tribes are no longer as obedient as before.
"Yes, little brother understands!" Thinking in his heart, there was another way of saying it, Ashina, Du Bi nodded in agreement, looked at the somewhat disgusting hand, grabbed himself, he secretly pulled a few times, but he didn't pull it off.
"Father Khan!" Ashina and Dubi heard the grief-stricken cries of their nephews Ashina and Shi Bobi, and hurriedly looked up.
I saw that the former overlord, Shibi Khan, had his head on the side, white foam coming out of his mouth, and a pair of dead fish eyes, staring at him, and he was silent.
Ashina and Dubi were so frightened that they almost screamed, their hearts suddenly burst, and they hurriedly broke free from those chicken claws.
Two steps on the back legs, Ashina and Dubi felt their hearts beating wildly, and after a while, they came back to their senses, fell to their knees all of a sudden, and shouted loudly: "Khan! ”
"Khan!"
The voices in the room reached outside, and all kinds of mournful shouts rang out one after another, and the guards knelt down one after another.

Jinyang!
"Husband, what are you doing?" Hei Sumei asked curiously. Although they have been married for three years, Hei Sumei is still very lively, and she has been gathering less and leaving more, taking advantage of the fact that there is no war this year, Zou Yu also tries to accompany them as much as possible.
"You slow down, you're about to be a mother, why don't you know the severity." Bai Suhua said with a drink.
"Hey, hey! Got it, I'm my sister! Hei Sumei smiled happily at her, and then muttered quietly.
Knowing that the two of them had a good relationship, Zou Yu didn't say anything, just looked at the stomachs of the two gently. After hard work, looking at the stomachs of the two women, you know that the seeds have sprouted and flowered, and in a few months it will be the harvest season.
"Some time ago, I wasn't planting beans, but suddenly I remembered a dish that was just right to improve your appetite." Zou Yu said softly.
"Beans? What to cook? Tofu? I'm tired of eating. Hei Sumei asked curiously.
"Of course not! This one is called bean sprouts! Zou Yu said with a smile.
In order to carry out intensive cultivation, not only the method of blistering is used to select seeds, but also some vegetables, and the method of soaking and germination is also used to cultivate seeds, and bean sprouts can also use this method.
Build a brick house, around the perimeter and roof, and install a lot of glass, which not only transmits light, but also has a good thermal insulation effect. It's not that these glasses don't want to be sold, but they are in very poor condition, with a lot of bubbles and impurities, so they are used to build houses.
Whether it is firing glass or ceramics, the most important thing is the control of the heat, that is, for the temperature control, in this era without a pyrometer, you can only rely on the experience of the master. However, Zou Yu doesn't care too much about these, even if it is burned out of all defective products, it can still find its use.
Because a large number of goods were sold to the people at a low price, so that the people got benefits, and the people didn't care whether the color of this porcelain bowl was correct and could be used.
This kind of room for cultivating seeds is very empty, only rows and rows of wooden shelves, and boards made of bamboo, soak the seeds in warm water overnight, and then pour them on the boards and put them on the shelves, and then there is a large pot in the corner of the room, and a fire is lit from outside, and the inside of the room, it will not take long to fill it with water vapor.
If it is a grain seed, you also need to constantly control the temperature, and you can't let the room be too hot, but the sprouts don't have so many worries, you only need to water twice a day, as for the water vapor, as long as you look at the concentration of steam in the room, there is basically no problem.
The key is to be fast, soak in warm water, add steam, sprout in three days, and come out of the cage in six days, and the green bean sprouts can be served.
This kind of house, the people call it a greenhouse, only more than a dozen have been built at present, with more and more defective glass, there will be more such greenhouses in the future.
Because the two wives were pregnant, Zou Yuna was very concerned and didn't let her stay longer, and after seeing it for a while, he took it back to the courtyard. However, it is precisely because his wife is pregnant that Zou Yu, who has been staying at home, has spent a lot of time on affairs.
This year, the people of several states are extremely busy, but no one has complaints, but they feel very fulfilling. Although wheat is still used with various grains, it is no longer the difference between heaven and earth compared to the previous days.
You must know that this wheat bran is not the kind of wheat shed in later generations, but the wheat stalk is chopped and ground into powder, and with wild vegetables, the taste can be imagined; As for the wheat, it is all ground with stone and ground into wheat noodles, and only the big families will select it slightly and make it into fine noodles.
The crops are about to be harvested, and the people are full of hope, as well as the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, and the breeding of poultry, all of which make the people full of confidence in life.
"Look, Lord Wang, now every household has this hand melon, this move can be said to be a stroke of genius!" Fang Xuanling sighed with a smile.
Zou Yu often visits nearby villages and farms to study how to make the people better plant and breed, so the people are used to it, and there are no onlookers, but everyone who passes by is grateful, bowing and thanking from afar, and even more, the family is old and young, kowtowing with tears streaming down their faces.
