Finally waited for Li Ji to leave, Tang Ji drank the maid and secretly wept alone.

She lamented why fate teased her like this, giving her glory and wealth and envy of others' marriage and love, but in the end, she ...... What is the way to kill Li Ru and get out of the sea of suffering?

Maybe this Li Dao can be used, but it must not be ......

Tang Ji, who had a strong revenge mentality, deviated from the original historical trajectory little by little, and took the initiative to join the whirlpool of disputes in Chang'an.

......

The wheat seedlings in the field have grown, and although they are only half a foot high, they are also lush and green, adding a touch of warm vitality to the lonely winter days in the north.

Tong Yuan looked at the tender green wheat seedlings in the field and found that the planting method at this time was completely different from that of later generations.

The ridges and ravines in the field are neatly arranged, and the wheat seedlings are spaced between them by a full three feet, which is far more delicate than the intensive sowing of seeds in later generations.

After thinking about it, he understood that the fertility of the land was simply not enough to support super-intensive planting, and the chemical fertilizers of later generations gave the soil the power of magic, increasing the yield several times while greatly reducing the labor intensity.

In the Han Dynasty, if it was planted intensively, not only would the fertility of the plant not be enough, but also the precious seeds would be wasted, so wheat planting should also be intensively cultivated.

There are still a few days to go before the Chinese New Year, which is the first Spring Festival he has experienced when he came to this era, and the Spring Festival is called "Yuan Ri" in this era.

During this period, there have been many festivals such as Yuan Day, Shangyuan, Cold Food, Chongyang Festival, etc., among which the first day of the year and the first day of the agricultural season are the most grand.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country, he stipulated that the first day of October every year was New Year's Day. This time coincides with the harvest season in late autumn, which is the Spring Festival in late autumn.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian proposed to revise the new calendar "Taichu Calendar", which changed the time of the Spring Festival in later generations from autumn to the agricultural leisure season at the end of the year.

In order to make the life of the people of his military and Mintun better, Tong Yuan had to go to the Qiang and the Southern Xiongnu farther away to carry out trade, and traded a large amount of cloth, salt and jewelry to get the meat and fur of 3,000 sheep, which were specially used for the New Year for the families with outstanding performance in the military and Mintun.

The objects of the award include those who perform well in various specialized fields, teach well, and those who are recognized as outstanding in the process of wheat planting in each cantonment. Those who are more prominent in weaving winter clothes, raising sheep and grazing, and engaging in handicrafts are also among the rewards.

This arrangement is certainly materially utilitarian, but it is also suitable for troubled times. After all, in the Three Kingdoms, it is still necessary to give substantial rewards to soldiers and talents who contribute more. It is not too difficult to quantify and standardize, after all, everything is based on strategic requirements and the dreadnought army and the new army.

However, most of the soldiers and horses of the Dreadnought Army could not celebrate the New Year at home, and this part of the soldiers and horses originally stationed in Pi's were dressed in neat new winter clothes and fine armor, and rushed to Pingyang and Yangxian in the north, preparing to give a New Year's gift to the Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo who came to plunder.

At present, Huang Yu's 13th Brigade and Xu Huang's brave battalion have found signs of the Yufuluo tribe heading south to plunder, and learned from some prisoners that the Yufuluo tribe lacks food and shelter in winter, coupled with the blockade and oppression of the north and south, and the current life is very tense. Recently, they planned to send troops to loot the counties in Hedong that were preparing New Year's goods.

After getting this news, Tong Yuan discussed with Xu Rong, Zhang Lu, Geng Qing, Zhang Ji and others, and it was best to give each other a blow.

The basic plan was to lure the enemy's main force deep into the counties, and at the same time send elite troops to destroy the enemy's cities and camps, and rescue the people, livestock, and property that had been captured before.

Then surround the enemy when the opponent retreats in panic, and try to force the opponent to surrender. If you can incorporate the relatively weak Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo Department, it will be nearly 10,000 light cavalry, and with them leading the way, it will be much more convenient to take back the Hetao.

Friends and foes are always changing, and Tong Yuan prefers the Bai Bo Army and Yu Fuluo because he values their weaker strength and the fact that they can be used by him.

Historically, nomads had always invaded the plains in winter and plundered the peasants' savings, and now the princes everywhere have no time to drive out the enemy with their own troops, and the border people in most areas will either flee or take refuge in the nobles, or they will likely become slaves and dry bones.

Now, the third guard of the Dreadnought Army has three brigades and three battalions, and if it is full, it will be five brigades and four battalions.

At present, he plans to let Xu Huang train and develop more, and soon on the basis of the outstanding people of the Yong Barbarian Battalion and the military tun directly under him, he will absorb some Xiongnu soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers to form a brigade.

Moreover, it is possible to divide the surrendered Xiongnu soldiers and horses in this way, so as to avoid them from being attached but not dismantled, and the more they develop in the future, they will become more and more powerful.

"It's snowing! Behold, it snowed. The people of the city shouted.

Tong Yuan hurriedly went out to look, only to see white snowflakes floating in the hazy sky, flying all over the sky under the northwest wind.

"It's so beautiful, this snowflake won't melt when it falls on the ground, and it will make the earth covered in silver in the blink of an eye, worthy of the northern land."

Tong Yuan has lived by the sea in the south since he was a child, and he has never seen such a big snow a few times, let alone the wonderful quiet silence where the snow does not melt.

He looked at the fluttering snowflakes in front of him, and felt a burst of peace in his heart, it turned out that the snow could be so beautiful and quiet.

……

Xu Rong was following the soldiers and horses out of the city, and when he saw the snow, he stroked his beard slightly, and asked to the side: "Jian'er, do you know what to pay attention to when fighting on a snowy day?" ”

Xu Jian barely thought about it, and said confidently: "The winter is cold, and the snow makes it difficult for the troops to march and replenish the military supplies. However, the most rare thing is probably the siege. Therefore, most of the time there is no war in winter, otherwise the cost is too high. ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Yes, Wu'er is already a qualified general. But you also need to know that with the improvement of the equipment of the dreadnoughts, winter is also a time for elite troops to hunt. ”

……

On the other side of the Yellow River, in Jawyang, Zhang Ji is inspecting the wheat fields and winter supplies in Mintun. After seeing the snow falling in the sky, the farmers who had experience in planting wheat were happy and ran to tell each other.

A hint of relief appeared on Zhang Ji's face, the drought resistance of wheat is not as good as that of millet, especially in late winter and early spring, irrigation is inconvenient, and it is necessary to pay attention to drought prevention. At this time, a moderate amount of snow can fall, which is the best for wheat growth.

It seems that luck is on the side of Dong Bai and Tong Yuan. It is estimated that in the near future, this land will be incredibly vigorous under their planning and care.

The first three years of peace are about to pass. After a long time, every time it was the Chinese New Year, Tong Yuan would think of the first year he came here, there were thrilling escapes, and there were also peaks and turns.

When he first came, he had too many discomforts, but when he came to this era, he had to grasp it well, and now it is only a slight success, and he still needs to work hard in the future.
