Chapter 38: Winter Training
Su Dingfang and Fang Zheng walked in, and Su Dingfang continued: "The brothers have settled down. ”
"Brother Su, have you eaten it?" Zou Yu asked with concern.
"I've used it." Su Dingfang smiled at Zou Yu and nodded.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, hasn't anyone come to Goguryeo to check on this year?" Zhang Zhongjian asked with concern.
"Of course I've come to see it, but I've been arrested, and I've sent two letters, and it's just a reminder to strengthen vigilance, and I arranged for someone to reply to the letter, and then there was no news, and I guess I can't take care of this, but I didn't pay taxes this year, and I will definitely find out that something is wrong next year." Zou Yu explained.
"Haha! Just right! Attack Goguryeo for two years, let them attack it! Qin Qiong smiled heartily and said proudly.
"Because of this year's bumper harvest, many Khitan people have already moved, but there are not so many of their own people to control, so I have always had reservations about this and have not vigorously wooed it." Zou Yu introduced.
"Xiao Yu, how do you think about the development of Fuyu City at present?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.
"Next year I still want to focus on development, this year's pastures and villages, are on the right track, if there is another year, poultry breeding, fruit trees, vegetables, can form a scale, is expected in the second half of next year, simple poultry will have hundreds of thousands of chickens and ducks, fish can also reach hundreds of thousands of catties; There will be no more freezing death on the ranch side this year, and there is enough food, so there is no need to kill so much to eat, and it can really achieve a herd of cattle and sheep.
This year, more than 100 deer were caught, which means that in the future, we can rely on breeding, there are more people, and the salt mineral output is also very gratifying, although it cannot be expanded, but it is enough. Zou Yu said that he is still very satisfied with the development of this year.
"Since the internal affairs are stable, why not take a bigger step?" Zhang Zhongjian said.
"There is a shortage of manpower, and now there are only less than 2,000 Han people in the city, and nearly 50,000 other people, I really can't rest assured." Zou Yu explained with a wry smile.
"Brother Yu, I'm afraid you don't know that after months of propaganda, many Goguryeo people have identified themselves as descendants of the Han people and are proud to speak Chinese." Bai Suhua said gently, with a look of admiration in her eyes, she felt very impressed that Zou Yu's simple method could make people die of death.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Bai Suhua replied in the affirmative, because she was dealing with the affairs of the city, so she was very clear about this.
"What's going on?" Zhang Zhongjian asked curiously.
So Zou Yu explained again, how to publicize the Three Kingdoms, the story of the four counties of western Liaoning, which were forcibly occupied by the Buyeo people and changed their identities, and told it again.
"Good plan! This is the real eternal trouble! Li Keshi was amazed and praised again and again.
"Now that we have won the hearts of the people, it doesn't hurt to take a bigger step, after all, I don't know when Goguryeo will call. The people have their own sense of proportion, and they absolutely do not want to be occupied by outsiders who have worked hard to build their homes, so don't underestimate the Khitans who have taken refuge in them, they will definitely do their best. Zhang Zhongjian analyzed for him.
"Hmmm! Uncle Zhang, you're right, when I asked everyone to build the village together, I just wanted them to have a sense of community, and not to think only about their own families when they had trouble. Zou Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement, of course, he did not understand the people's thoughts and concepts as deeply as Zhang Zhongjian and others, so he was willing to accept good suggestions.
Li Keshi asked them to introduce the situation around again, and after discussion and analysis, they put forward a series of suggestions, and finally decided to take advantage of the winter to send troops. However, this time the troops will be different, they will all be mainly Khitans, attacking the tribes of the Ya tribe, one is to plunder, and the other is to blame.
With the Khitans as the mainstay, others will not think of Fuyu City, and with the strength of the Ya people, they will not listen to the Khitans' explanations.
The next day, Zou Yu sent away Li Keshi, Zhang Zhongjian, and Liu Jin. Of course, Zou Yu was very well prepared for them, especially the twenty sled dogs that were just one year old, with sled dogs pulling carts, which not only made the journey easy and fast, but also served as a warning.
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that Zou Yu's dog still had this kind of effect, in the snow, it was much better than a war horse, even if it was not a battle, it was very convenient to transport supplies.
Training skiing, this is the main thing for new entrants, including Qin Qiong, fortunately, this training has always been loved by everyone, so the training enthusiasm is very high, and the progress is also very fast.
Zou Yu thought of another way, since the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can change the mentality of the people, he plans to use the legend of the gods again. Selected more than a dozen Han people who can speak the Tao, teach them, starting from Pangu opening the world and incarnating all things, Sanqing Fuxi is the ancestor of the Han people, and the twelve ancestors are the ancestors of the Khitan and other tribes, because of the different concepts, the two sides fought, and finally the Han people won, and the tribe was driven to the surrounding remote places.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that everyone has a common ancestor——— Pangu! Guided by myths and legends, it is not only easy to remember, spread quickly, but also easier for the people to remember, as for the Buyeo people who ruled Goguryeo, they have become the legendary demons, the culprits who provoked human cannibalism, and were hunted down by the Han and Wu people.
Not only the story, Buyeo City is also building temples, which are dedicated to Sanqing, Fuxi, Nuwa and the Twelve Ancestors, and the side hall is dedicated to the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou respectively. Respect the Yellow Emperor as the co-master, and respect the god of war.
There is nothing to do in winter, and the people are often organized to do activities, that is, to practice skiing collectively and visit ski competitions, after more than a month of practice, even children of a few years old in Buyeo City will be accompanied by their parents, skiing for a short time, which can be said to be a national activity.
This activity, well received by the people of the city, not only let everyone increase the sense of belonging, increase the centripetal force, but also increase the vitality of the city, after the ski competition, there will be a bonfire party, at this time not only there are dances of various tribes, the wrestling of warriors, there will also be storytellers, storytelling, the Three Kingdoms, myths, are all people love to hear, even in private is spreading, people who have heard, told to people who have not heard.
Winter itself is also an important season for human reproduction, after all, there are few things, which means that you are energetic, and you will find things to do when you are energetic. But now there are activities every three or five days, big girls, little widows, will go out, this comes and goes, it is inevitable that there will be a match, plus there are many people from the tribe, and the people are open, which provides a force for the population plan.
