Sipping the fragrant tea and looking at Madashan who was sitting on the side with a depressed face, Lu Ning couldn't help laughing for a while.

When he returned to Guhe Village in the early morning, the two kings led the warriors to send the looted Dongying women to the New Tang Dynasty.

And just now, Erwang and the others turned around, and followed by eight heavy foot soldiers and sixteen Ezo slaves, but they replaced the main soldiers except Lu Ning and Ma Shan, and it is very likely that the eight heavy foot soldiers who were replaced back to New Tang City will rest for a period of time and designate the military to spend their honeymoon with peace of mind after marriage, in order to reward them for their hard work all the way to the battle.

Madashan was left behind to continue on the edge of the ancient river, how could he not be depressed?

Looking at Madashan, Lu Ning smiled slightly: "Old Ma, you were left behind to follow me, it seems that you will be developed in the future!" ”

This is a joke, but it is also half-true.

In any case, if you have been by your side, you will inevitably be promoted faster than others, this is the norm of human feelings, and you are not exempt from vulgarity, and you must give priority to promoting people who are more familiar to you in your eyes.

What's more, following his side, there are more opportunities to fight, and the opportunity for meritorious service has become greater, and the nine foot soldiers who followed him are the first batch of military marriages is a good proof that this is not his favoritism, it should be like this.

Obviously, the eight new young men also understood this, they were all sitting on the Mazha like Madashan, at this time, they were all very excited and their waists were straight, listening to Lu Ning's words, no one dared to interject, they all listened carefully, and they didn't dare to miss every word.

Before the Eastern Expedition, they had been training for a few months, and the Xuanfu Battalion was all Central Plains soldiers, so I simply heard that these young people from the northern tribes had been able to do it, and these eight young men were also specially selected to hear that the Central Plains language was more prominent, so that they could follow the Lu Bantou, who was the most advanced and gradually became famous, which was also a reward.

"Yes." Ma Dashan grinned reluctantly, but he was afraid that he was scolding his mother in his heart, and he didn't know if he was scolded at this time as the god-like "emperor grandfather" who was high in the sky.

The moon and stars are scarce, the cool breeze is blowing, and it is midsummer, but this Furukawa area, maybe the topographical relationship, is not very hot, this place can be said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, no wonder the Ashikaga shogunate period, set up the Furukawa Gongkakan here, as the base of the family to dominate the Kanto.

This is among the military villages, yes, there are also temporary logging, made some tables, chairs and benches and other furniture.

"Okay, it's time for me to go back to the bureau, you newcomers, from tomorrow, by Madashan to line the watch of the imperial office." Lu Ning got up as he spoke.

All the soldiers immediately stood up and said in unison: "Yes! ”

……

On this side of the village fence, the lights are bright, and cheers are heard from time to time.

With the eight pawns and Ezo slaves, there were also some trophies distributed to Guhe Village.

A few days ago, according to the information obtained from the bounty and the confirmation after reconnaissance, the archers raided the deep valley gate of Ueno Country more than 50 miles away.

A large amount of supplies that Fujiwara Hidego had taken from Karasawa Mountain Castle were hoarded in Futaniza, including dozens of cultivated cattle and a dozen horses, and even a breeding bull among them.

These materials were transported back to the New Tang City, and these eight pawns came to change shifts, so they brought a few ploughing cattle allocated by the public to Guhe Village, and by the way, they also brought a horse to Lu Ning.

Fighting in this east, the skirmish line, the officers on horseback, and the foot soldiers follow the battle, which seems to be quite in line with the geographical environment here.

When Lu Ning received the eight new soldiers, the second king was handing over to Gu Sixteen and the villagers, and the whole village was rejoicing.

Ploughing cattle are too precious in Dongying, in fact, they are also precious in the Central Plains, but the average household ownership rate has far exceeded that of Dongying, and many policies have been introduced in the Tang Dynasty in the hope that every household has cattle.

Although according to historical experience, Lu Ning knows that there must be a lot of moisture in it, for example, the calves are estimated to be counted in the cultivated cattle, this is still more conscientious, and there are more ways to cheat, which is really unthinkable, nothing can be done.

But it doesn't matter, the general direction is always moving forward. Moreover, I now feel that under my overall vision, giving short-term goals to various provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties to achieve them is a good way to manage the localities under centralized power, which naturally has many drawbacks, but for the current world, it can be regarded as an extremely advanced planned development.

Compared with the vigorous cattle raising in Middle-earth under the holy oracle, Dongying ploughing cattle are as precious as precious gold.

Especially in a place like Fujiwara Hidego, where the local tyrant is ruled by a strong force, even if he gets some farming cattle, he will also firmly control it in his own hands.

Originally, there were more than 1,000 households in Guhezhai, and only the big family of Gu's sixteenth father had two ploughing cows, but now, five have been added at once, and the villagers are not happy.

When Lu Ning came to the palace, the excited people still gathered and refused to leave, and when they saw Lu Ning coming, the excited discussion gradually subsided, and they were still a little afraid of the officers and soldiers, not to mention, this is the local commander.

Gu Sixteen greeted him, although he was happy, he was a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "Master Ban, the ploughing cattle are publicly owned, and everyone can use them, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" I'm afraid that not only will there be disputes, but they will all rush to use them, and these cows will be exhausted to death in a few years, which is a pity......"

Lu Ning was stunned, and then knew that in the transmission, it was the translation problem that had caused a misunderstanding, and said with a smile: "Who said that anyone can use ploughing cattle?" It is still to be allocated to people as private property, but those who are willing to raise cattle will have to increase their rent every year until the price of cattle is compensated. He added: "Not only in New Tang City, but also in the local area. ”

Gu Sixteen Mao suddenly opened, yes, in this way, the cattle raiser will be careful, and he is worried in vain.

Lu Ning looked at him and smiled, liking him more and more, this young man has brains, and he has also entered the role of Qi people.

Seeing that Gu Sixteen wanted to speak again, Lu Ning smiled and waved his hand, "There are not many ploughing cattle, so I will draw lots and distribute them, and it depends on the will of heaven." ”

It's risky, but it's certain that most of the villagers want to distribute their cattle to their families.

Gu Sixteen nodded silently.

In fact, if you draw lots, there may be cheating, village zheng, zhizhai and so on, you can distribute cattle to people close to you through some means, but this kind of small power still has to be given to them, there is no absolutely fair thing in the world, as long as you can collect the annual grain rent that deducts the price of cattle on time.

……

Seeing Lu Ning coming back, Huang Baoyi came out early.

The wooden house is very tidy, although a maid is hired, but many things, Huang Baoyi is naturally a little bit of a little bit of hands-on.

The maid also took care of the outdoor sanitation and so on.

Entering the house, looking at the two sets of bedding side by side on the tatami mats, Lu Ning coughed.

Although it was common for Huang Baoyi to sleep outside in the dormitory, or, sleeping in her own bed, it was not uncommon for her to nap on the soft couch, but it was the first time she slept together like this.

"Hooray, do you want to rest now?" Huang Baoyi gently came behind Lu Ning and asked in a low voice.

The fragrance hit, and Lu Ning could even feel the heat of the small and fierce kimono beautiful girl behind him after bathing.

Originally, there was a shared bathroom in this palace, and Gu Sixteen said that this bathroom would be used exclusively by Lord Ban and Mrs. Ban in the future.

"I'm going to take a shower and change clothes...... Lu Ning's voice didn't fall, and he frowned again, "It seems that something happened." ”

Outside, there was a faint noise and wailing, and it was getting closer and closer, coming in the direction of the palace.

After a while, Huang Baoyi also heard it and said, "The slave and maid go out to have a look." ”

Lu Ning waved his hand and said helplessly: "It seems that tonight will be unsafe again." ”

He could vaguely understand what was going on.
