Wuwei County!

Wuwei County, which was newly established this year, does not have many personnel, and the houses are very simple.

There are even several families huddled together.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, when they come here, it is almost autumn, and they are going to prepare for something else, and the time is obviously not able to keep up.

So I can only build a temporary house, regardless of whether he looks good or not, and get through this winter first.

The imperial court is already making preparations, and in the spring of the next year, half of the people will go to open up the wasteland, and half of the people will build their homes.

In order to get out of the situation of relying on the support of the imperial court as soon as possible, Wuwei County also made a ruthless decision.

The brick houses to be built next year will all be built in the style of military camps.

The advantage of this type of house is that it has a simple structure and can accommodate a large number of people.

After the repair, the people will be resettled to ensure that there is a place to live next winter, and then wait until the next year to gradually disperse and build new homes.

However, in this case, it is obviously impossible to have a village layout like that in the inland areas.

Far to the west, a large crowd walked slowly, their faces full of exhaustion.

For them, this journey has gradually changed from excitement to fear.

The terrain like the White Dragon Pile is also an extremely terrifying existence for them.

Kuntu had some doubts in his heart at this moment, the road to the Western Regions of this Han was so difficult, it was difficult for an embassy like theirs to pass through, if it was a large number of troops, would they be able to do it?

Even if the army could cross the past, what about their logistical supplies?

If before, Wusun hoped that the Han State would send troops to the Western Regions to help resist the Xiongnu.

Then now they have to consider a question, whether the supply of the Han army is something they can afford.

If they can't afford this logistical pressure, then even if they invite the Han army over, what can they do?

If the Han army failed because of logistical problems, would the Han emperor have a grudge against Wusun?

Although after passing the White Dragon Pile, the terrain further east makes people feel a lot more comfortable.

There are mountain peaks on the left and right, but there are flat grasslands several miles wide in the middle.

But this kind of terrain, whether it is good or bad, if the Huns come to raid, they are afraid that it will be difficult to defend.

"Han envoy, have we arrived in the Han Dynasty?" Quintu pointed to the banner on the mountainside in front of him, which was the same as Lu Jia's flag.

"Hmm!" Lu Jia replied expressionlessly.

Are you back in Dahan?

Lu Jia is also not sure.

Anyway, when I came here, there was no one here.

No, when I came here anyway, this place didn't belong to the Han Dynasty, and there was no garrison here.

He couldn't figure out what the situation in front of him meant, but since the Han flag appeared, it must be the territory of the Great Han, right?

However, with such a big movement of the mission, they saw the Han flag halfway up the mountain.

The Han army halfway up the mountain naturally saw them, and through the communication of the flag, a team of Han army scouts soon came to inquire about their identity.

And after Lu Jia revealed his identity, he finally learned that this was Wuwei County, which the emperor had just set up this year.

Although it has just been set up, this is also the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"Lu Envoy, Wuwei County is forty miles to the west, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through today, you might as well go to the camp to rest for one night, and then set off tomorrow." The thousand people in charge of duty said respectfully.

He didn't know that someone had gone back in front of him, and the news had already been transmitted to Luoyang.

The scouts who were let go ahead of time bypassed by as they passed by.

They were also worried that the Huns would take control of the place, so they chose the mountain road, which was not easy to walk, but it was safe.

"Good!" Lu Jia nodded excitedly, and finally returned home, saying that he was not excited, it was completely a lie.

But this night was wonderful for some, not so good for others.

The barracks meals are simple, and no matter how carefully prepared, they cannot be as elaborate as the court.

The inside and outside of the thatched house were pasted with mud in advance to protect against the cold, and the necessary ventilation openings were reserved in the house, and then the charcoal fire was directly burned.

That's right, it's the kind that burns directly with black coal.

With the big killer of Wang Bu Hunger, it is impossible for any coal poisoning to happen, at least now everyone knows that if you want to burn coal in the house, you must keep it ventilated.

So under every eaves, at intervals, there is a hole for ventilation.

In the early morning of the next day, the Han Dynasty delegation headed by Lu Jia packed up their bags and prepared to continue their departure.

And the state of the missions from the Western Regions is not very good.

Although this is a border county, the conditions are too poor.

The food provided to them by the Han army was only a small amount of meat, and although they could get used to eating that food, it still made people feel very uncomfortable.

"The eldest prince, if the Han Dynasty is only so powerful......"

Quint's entourage said with a solemn face.

Although the equipment of the Han army looks very good, and even if it is these border troops, it looks not much worse than the envoys around Lu Jia.

What's more, their equipment is more diverse, and there are many equipment that they have never seen in the Western Regions countries, and they don't know how to use it.

But just looking at the equipment is not enough to make people have absolute confidence in him.

How to say it, the current residence of the Han army, and their equipment, are not of the same level at all.

This is reminiscent of the word "reckless force", which shows the power of force, but it also shows that it is not a path that can be sustained for a long time.

"Don't talk about it, this is just their border county, and looking at these buildings, they look more like they are newly built, even so, compared to some of our tribes outside Wusun, they are more than strong." Quintu shook his head slightly.

In fact, the Han Dynasty in their imagination should be different from the countries of the Western Regions, and much stronger than the countries of the Western Regions.

The countries of the Western Regions are basically rammed earth walls and rammed earth houses, and the height is also very low.

Here they did not see the city walls, not even rammed earth houses.

Even in the barracks, some straw was added to the wooden shelves and then pasted with mud.

The situation is really only a little better than the homes of those who are herding cattle outside their respective tribes.

Or, is it similar to those farming and civilized villages in the southern part of the Western Regions?

Well, it's pretty much the same.

In the Western Regions, only the castle could be built with rammed earth walls and rammed earth houses.

The countryside still counts, there is no such capital at all, and there is no such strength.

In general, this place in the Western Regions is that the economy is poor, the combat effectiveness is weak, the personnel are scattered, and there are many forced things.

Along the way, they are also constantly observing everything in this Wuwei County.

There was no surprise or anything, but here it felt like the number of the army far exceeded the number of civilians.

Although the number of civilians is actually much larger than the number of troops, there are no civilians hanging out at this time, and everyone is basically gathered together, thinking about how to survive next.

Migration is easy, but it's also difficult.

Wuwei is a place that naturally cannot be used for farming, and this is also a natural horse farm, so the imperial court will naturally not let them waste it so much.

Therefore, except for the cultivated land allocated to the people, there is no official land here.

All the land that was originally set up as official fields was set up as pastures, and people were encouraged to give up farming and use their own arable land to raise war horses.

Although each family only has about 100 acres of cultivated land, even if it is converted into pasture, the scale will not be large, but at this scale, it is still no problem to raise ten war horses.

A three-year reincarnation, when the court is recycling, the court has gotten the war horse to the maximum.

When the people have money, they can buy food and daily necessities, thus stimulating economic development.

As for saying that the raised war horses can't be used, what should I do?

This is most likely impossible, the Ministry of War has set up a horse administration department, the officials of the horse administration department have been working in Wuwei County, and professional personnel will regularly come to guide, inspect, and take these horses out for exercise.

In other words, the court provides the young horses, and you are responsible for feeding, cleaning, and providing the stable, although the final recovery price will be lower, but it is far more than farming.

When it was dark, Lu Jia and his party finally came to Wuwei County.

Looking at Wuwei County, if no one told him that this was Wuwei County, it is estimated that most people would not believe it, this special mother is Wuwei County?

Isn't this just a big camp?

Is it even so simple to walled up?

"In Xia Wuwei County, guard Chen Hua, Wuwei County Cheng Hongmin has seen Lu Envoy!" They received the news early this morning, and they were also shocked, but they had already prepared everything, and when they felt that the time was almost up, they came to the gate of the camp to greet them.

As the first two people to eat crabs in the Han Dynasty, Chen Hua and Hong Min are also the leaders of the new generation.

In just a few years, the two of them went from Pingyin County to Pingyin County Commander and Pingyin County Governor to the position of Wuwei County Keeper and County Cheng.

Although the county is under the county, it seems that it is only a first-level difference.

But from the grade, you can see how big the difference between the two positions is.

The level of the prefectural order is the seventh grade, and the rank of the county chief official is the ninth grade.

And what about the rank of the county guard? It is the fourth grade, and Juncheng is also a big man at the fifth grade.

Even if this level is in Luoyang, it can be regarded as a high-ranking official, and it belongs to the kind that is qualified to go to the court at the beginning of every month.

And the counterattack of the two lives took less than five years.

As the old partners of Pingyin County, the ability of the two is recognized, so the task of building Wuwei County this time was handed over to the two of them.

Lu Jia thought about it, he had an impression of these two people, the things in Pingyin County were so big at the beginning, but anyone with a little brain would have an impression.

When he left, he remembered that Chen Hua was transferred to a county and his rank was not high, while Hong Min was in the Ministry of Officials, although he was a foreigner, he was in charge of the reform of control.

It's just that I didn't expect that in just over three years, the two little guys of the year are now the big officials of the frontier.

"There are two ...... of labor"
