Another thing that has to be mentioned here is that the people who went out to the steppe in winter brought back a great victory.

As early as ten days ago, Li Jing and the others returned to the division, and this time they went out to destroy the Turkic tribes fifteen! Nearly 30,000 enemies were killed, and more than 50,000 women were captured, all of which were rewarded to the soldiers who went on the expedition.

As for Zou Yu, the advantage of this expedition was that it dealt a blow to the Turks, increased prestige, and captured more than 10,000 horses, as for cattle and sheep, it was just enough for the soldiers to eat.

At the time of the New Year's sacrifice, representatives of the Khitan, Xi people, Xi people, and Goguryeo expressed their recognition of their ancestors and returned to their ancestors, expressing their original identity as Central Plains people, and expressing their attachment to the imperial court; There are also the Yao tribe led by Da Zuorong and Xue Yantuo led by Yi Nan, who expressed their willingness to submit to the imperial court; The appearance of Kim Seungman, the princess of Silla, stimulated everyone even more.

Because there were many onlookers, they all knew that the imperial court now had such great prestige and conquered so many tribes and countries.

Of course, the little emperor of the imperial court definitely does not have this ability, everything is the new prime minister, the original general Zou Changfeng's credit, which the people know well.

The surrender of the eight directions is naturally very exciting! What's more, Zou Yu also deliberately showed some strength, although there was no military parade, but he deliberately selected a group of soldiers as escorts, which still shocked everyone.

Five hundred tall soldiers, dressed in bright light armor and armed with iron horses, lined up all the way, like ordinary soldiers, guarding both sides of the street.

You must know that Mingguang armor is not something that ordinary people can have, and it used to be basically the worst low-level general, or the second generation of officials can only wear it, ordinary people, it is rare to see it once, and it appears so much at one time, of course, it attracts attention.

Although the heavy cavalry was under the command of Qin Qiong of Yanmen County, Zou Yu still gathered 500 heavy armored infantry here, and these 500 heavy armored infantry will rush to the vicinity of Tongguan after the year to be responsible for defending Yongfeng Cang.

This batch of heavy armor belongs to the specialty of Liaodong, and it is not as beautiful as the Mingguang armor, but the black and faint metal light makes people feel that the defense is more outstanding, especially the unified lion mask, which looks more hideous, and the area where they stand, the people dare not get too close.

Su Dingfang, Fang family brothers, Luo Cheng, Wei Chi Jingde, Xun Xiang, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Qin Yong, Qi Bi He Li, Sang Xianhe, Yi Nan, Wan Yan Lie, Liu Renliang, Li Keshi, Li Jing, Yin Shishi Nineteen people, plus one Li Yuanba who does not want an official position. Wearing the armor personally supervised by Yan Lide, he stood majestically on the second floor of the altar, like a group of gods.

You must know that this batch of armor not only uses water power to repeatedly beat, but also is made by a group of masters in the craftsman's supervisor, and at the same time has the gorgeous and heavy armor defense of Mingguang armor.

Lion head shoulder guards, tiger head chest guards, wolf head wrist guards, how majestic and majestic. Domineering! This is Zou Yu's only request. The mask is lowered like a temple idol, which is daunting.

This is only the first batch, and it is still being produced one after another, according to Zou Yu's requirements, the important generals in the army must be one person and one set, and the maximum protection of the generals will not be injured on the battlefield.

If these things are basically shown to outsiders, then there is also a real benefit, which is the gift that Zou Yu prepared for his henchmen.

After the New Year, just after the Lantern Festival, Fang Xuanling got married, originally planned to build a new home for him in Youzhou, and later laid down Jinyang, which was naturally located here, when Zou Yu went to Liaodong, he had already begun to prepare, and the houses were basically ready-made, after all, there were many big families in Jinyang back then, and they followed Li Yuan a lot, and they happened to be vacant.

Most of the houses borrowed from the original, but they were renovated, the Jinyang moat, originally connected to the city, forming a living water throughout the city, Zou Yu simply let people, the introduction of houses, one is to open the garden of living water, the other is to facilitate the use of water and water resources.

The royal family has built a summer resort since the Han Dynasty, this kind of summer resort, one is to choose a place with a cool climate, the other is to choose a water source, use running water, flow down from the roof, take away the heat, and it is very beautiful.

Zou Yu used a waterwheel to draw water to the roof and make a summer house. Of course, the water wheel will not only have this purpose, pumping water from the well, and then sending it to the high place with the water wheel, forming a water tower, located behind the big house, higher than all the houses, connected by bamboo tubes, carrying tap water for the main room and guest rooms.

In particular, the closed toilet has a brick-built sewage pipe, and there is basically no peculiar smell every time it is flushed.

Next to the water tower, there is a large iron bucket, the iron bucket has a bamboo tube diagonally connected to the water tower, you can put the water of the water tower into the iron bucket at any time, below the iron bucket, is a coal stove, and the two are connected together to form a coal boiler.

In order to ensure that the water temperature of the hot water is not lost, a double-layer bamboo tube is used, that is, a large bamboo tube, which is covered with a small bamboo tube that circulates hot water, so that even in winter, the hot water passes through the pipe, and the heat will not be emitted too much.

In the water outlet, the copper pipe is used, and the faucet is handmade by the hands of the craftsman, and the temperature of the hot and cold water can be adjusted.

In Fang Xuanling's new house, there is also a large amount of furniture, which belongs to things that did not appear in this era, of course, this is proposed by Zou Yu and made by skilled craftsmen.

Leather chairs, leather sofas, in order to facilitate Fang Xuanling's office, supporting sofas, coffee tables, desks, are readily available. Moreover, it is also made of precious sandalwood, agarwood, nanmu, etc., which has the effect of refreshing and refreshing the mind.

The large wooden bed and the fine silk duvet are silky and soft, and the warmth is good.

Nowadays, most of the clothes in the general family are kept in boxes, and only those that are to be worn daily are placed on separate shelves, which is mainly to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants.

And Fang Xuanling's new house, with a large wardrobe and wooden hangers, can completely hang clothes inside. Of course, as a high-ranking official, there are many clothes, compared with modern fashion women, no less, so in the bedroom, there are two side doors, one through the study, and the other through the dressing room.

In front of the master bedroom, there is a conservatory, which, of course, in the summer, is a place to escape the heat, which is designed to facilitate the hostess's reception.

In a hurry, no major changes were made, but the former attic form, most of which was turned into a floor. The ingenious design not only does not make people feel that the specifications have been lowered, but it makes people happy and envious.

People who have seen it, no matter who they are, are very envious, but unfortunately this design, connected to Zou Yu himself, is only twenty sets at present, this is because the people are idle in winter, there is nothing to do, and tens of thousands of people are specially recruited to drive out.
