Chapter 120: War Horse Three Treasures
"Please instruct the general, the Tatar clan will definitely obey!" Da Zuorong's heart was relieved and said respectfully.
"Seeing that your life is not easy, send out a team of men and horses to fight for General Ben!" Zou Yu looked at the poorly dressed and sparsely armored Tassel man, and shook his head slightly.
"The general forgives the sin, at present, there are only thirty or forty thousand young and strong people in the entire Jing tribe, and if they are transferred again, I am afraid that they will not even be able to support their own families." Da Zuorong said with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, General Ben will not let you contribute in vain, General Teben fights, General Ben not only provides food and grass, but also has a monthly example, each soldier will be rewarded with two stones of food a month, if the combat reward is calculated separately." Zou Yu said.
"This ......" Da Zuorong couldn't help but hesitate for a while, if it was really as Zou Yu said, if he didn't fight for a stone of food a month, and the battle would be counted separately, it would be good to look at it this way, at least he could feed a few people in his family.
"As for those who died in battle, the pension is calculated separately, there is only one requirement, do what you are told! And you can't help Goguryeo in the future! Zou Yu continued.
"Don't worry, the general won't dare to help Goguryeo in the future." Da Zuorong hurriedly promised.
"That's very good, you go and choose people, you don't need too much, five thousand cavalry will do, tomorrow morning, General Ben will see people here." Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction and ordered.
"Yes! Da Zuorong retires! Seeing that Zou Yu didn't want to say anything, Da Zuorong didn't dare to object, so he hurriedly agreed.
Although this matter was different from expected, it did not exceed the bottom line in his heart, after all, Zou Yu did not let him compensate one or two pieces of silver, and he was already ready for heavy bleeding, according to Zou Yu's request, five thousand people were provided, as long as there was no war, it would barely affect the survival of the clansmen.
"General, there is something unknown to my subordinates." After setting up camp, Zhang Cheng asked.
"You want to ask why you recruited the Spirits?"
"Yes, now that there are displaced people everywhere, even if you don't give a monthly example, you can recruit a large number of people, so why pay in vain?" Zhang Cheng asked puzzled.
"That's because the people of the Tatar are always the people of the Tatar, not as good as the people of our Central Plains, and I don't mind if they die more, so I can exchange some food for them to fight, why not do it, wouldn't it be much easier to clean up after a few years." Zou Yu saw that there was no one else nearby, the corners of his mouth raised, and then explained.
"The general is wise!" Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists and complimented.
The Jiangnan family has always looked down on the northern family, thinking that they have impure blood, especially the Guanlongba family, there are many mixed bloods, which is very obvious in the five surnames and the Jiangnan family, their children, many times, are unwilling to marry outsiders, are several family marriages.
Of course, this is also to consolidate the family position, but I have to admit that the family in Jiangnan, the five surnames and seven wangs, and the Shandong Shi clan, are the people who pay the most attention to blood and are most proud of their own Han blood, so Zhang Cheng and they more or less have this kind of thought, and for Zou Yu's thinking, of course, they raise their hands in agreement.
The next day, Da Zuorong brought people on time, 5,000 people, one is not a lot, Zou Yu didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.
"The Ya tribe can live in the Heishui area in the future, and they can also trade with Buyeo City, as long as they don't attack Buyeo City and attack the people."
This is Zou Yu's promise to Da Zuorong, and it is also to give them a little sweetness. Whether it was trading with Silla or Goguryeo, the Tatar people suffered a lot in terms of price, and now Buyeo City continues to buy their wool and allows them to trade in the city, which is of course much more convenient.

"See the General!"
"Uncle Li! You may be seated. As soon as he returned to Liaodong, someone came to him, and it was one of the people who fled for his life at the beginning, and he was also one of the people who saved him.
"Hehe, thank you, General."
"Uncle Li, it's more comfortable for you to call me Xiao Yuzi." Zou Yu personally poured the tea and said with a smile.
"No, no, etiquette can't be wasted!" Uncle Li waved his hand again and again.
"Uncle Li is here today, but there is something going on in the mining area? Or are you another kid? Zou Yu smiled helplessly and didn't argue with him, because they were all very stubborn, and none of them didn't insist.
For the people who followed at first, Zou Yu took great care of them, according to their personal hobbies, they were arranged to have official positions, and the worst also managed the village, and at the same time, regardless of the old and young, all Goguryeo women were assigned to them, and they were all wives and concubines as they wished.
"No, no, it's you who made us make the horseshoe, saddle, and pedal all ready." Uncle Li's face turned red and he hurriedly argued.
Uncle Li, Uncle Wang and others are in their forties, and they have added children one after another in the past two years.
Uncle Li is responsible for the equipment forging department in the mining area because he knows a little about iron, after all, they are more reliable than outsiders.
They don't need much ability, as long as they don't make a mess, the rest will be done by professionals.
And they did not disappoint, conscientious management, not to mention much development, at least very stable.
"Really?" Zou Yu stood up excitedly and asked.
From the beginning of learning to ride a horse, he thought of this problem, the current horse pedals are unilateral, only for people to use on horses, as for the saddle, it is just a animal skin pad, after a long time, both legs will wear out the skin.
Although Zou Yu knows the saddle, the horsehoe, and the horseshoes, he doesn't know how to do it, he just remembers that the saddle is a middle concave down, higher before and after, just fixing the body in the middle, and the front can also be supported by the hand, as for the horseshoes, there are on both sides, and the feet are in it, which is very convenient, as for the horseshoe, it seems to be an iron block the size of a horseshoe, which is driven into it with nails.
Fortunately, these things are not complicated, Zou Yu provided ideas, and the craftsmen quickly made some samples, but they were only specific and finalized, and they had not yet done it.
"The saddle and the horse pedal were made some time ago, just thinking that after they are all done, I will give you a surprise, the last time you sent out the troops, the horseshoe was successfully made, and it was ordered for the war horse, and the effect was very good." Uncle Li explained.
"Haha, that's great!" Zou Yu said happily.
"I've already brought a few war horses, why don't you go and have a look?" Uncle Li said with a smile, Zou Yu used to guide the way to make things, but it is rare to only put forward one direction this time, let him lead people to study, and it is quite a sense of accomplishment to be able to make it.
In recent years, Zou Yu has treated him very well, not only managing the workshop, house, people, food, and clothes of nearly 1,000 people, but also adding a son and a daughter, and has long been thinking about how to repay it.
