Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 40 Gains both people and money

Five days have passed since Nanying's clever plan to set up a pit to break the bison herd.

Within 5 days, the Qiang people slaughtered and skinned the bison during the day, and worked hard; At night, hundreds of roaring bonfires are lit, barbecue and drinking, men, women and children sing and dance together to celebrate the disaster. Countless beautiful Qiang girls regarded Nanying and his brothers as young heroes in their minds, and they vied with them to dance together, making everyone happy.

Gao Gao'er put his hands on his cheeks, sat in front of the fire, and watched angrily as Nanying was pulled around by one Qiang girl after another.

Gao Feng finally got rid of the warm invitation of several girls and hid to Gao Gao'er's side as if he was running for his life.

Gao Gao'er squinted at him and said, "You are a decent gentleman!" Not as frivolous as some people! ”

Gao Feng settled down, looked at it from the eyes of Gao Gao'er, and laughed unconsciously.

Gao Gao'er said angrily: "What are you laughing at! Beware I cut your tongue! ”

Gao Feng still laughed and said, "Why is my eldest lady angry!" But it turned out to be the anger of the growth officer! But, alas! It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Gao Gao'er's curiosity paused and asked, "What is a pity?" ”

Gao Feng said seriously: "Look at the sir, he is only twenty years old, he is born handsome, and he has both ability and political integrity, which is the dream of countless beautiful girls!" It's a pity that he met so many beauties at once, he should be dazzled! ”

Gao Gao'er lowered his head in frustration and said, "Alas! You're right! He is so good! ”

Gao Feng thought that Gao Gao'er would be furious by his joke, but he didn't expect this reaction, and he was also shocked in his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Gao Gao'er.

Gao Gao'er's delicate face like a flower was reflected in the firelight as if it was smeared with a layer of rouge, which was extremely moving, but there was a confused and heartbroken look in her eyes.

She whispered, "Brother Feng! You don't know! I already liked him as soon as I saw him, but I didn't even dare to say these words, I only dared to say it to you! Because we grew up together, you have always taken care of me like my own brother! ”

Gao Feng couldn't help but feel a heartache, he had regarded Gao Gao'er as his own sister since he was a child, and he never couldn't bear to let her suffer the slightest grievance. At this time, seeing her sad, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He said softly: "Qing'er! Sir, does he know your mind? ”

Gao Gao'er shook her head and said, "How can I open my mouth?" ”

Gao Feng sighed: "But you are embarrassed to say, how can he understand your tenderness, sir?" ”

Gao Gao'er raised his head, and his clear eyes flashed with a moving look, and said, "Brother Feng! You're wrong! I'm not embarrassed! But as you said, he is so outstanding, there are still countless great things waiting for him to complete in the future, how can I hold him with the love of a child and his ambition to look down on the world! What's more, such an outstanding immortal figure will never belong to just one woman! ”

Gao Feng trembled, and said in disbelief: "Qing'er! You ......"

Gao Gao'er stared deeply at Nanying in the distance, with a determined look in his eyes, and said: "From the day he rescued me from the tiger's mouth, I have made up my mind that I am more willing to be a woman who can help him and help him complete the great cause of helping the world and saving the people!" Let's talk about the future! ”

Gao Feng stared at her for a long time as if he had re-acquainted himself with Gao Gao'er, and finally sighed and was silent.

Nan Ying finally got out of the group of beauties, and fled to the seat of Jiang's father and son in a panic, and sat next to Jiang Mu.

When the Qiang girls saw the patriarch beside them, they didn't dare to step forward and entangle again, so they all laughed and dispersed.

Jiang Mu saw that Nan Ying patted his heart as if he had been amnestied, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Young Brother Nan, don't you look down on the girls among our Qiang people?" How could he escape to the old man in such a mess! ”

Nanying was embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic: "The old chief made fun of it! I have business to counsel with you. ”

Jiang Mu really stopped laughing, and said with a solemn face: "Oh? Please also ask Mr. Nan for advice! As soon as he got down to business, he even changed his address to Nanying, showing respect.

Nanying turned his head to Jiang Huan and said, "Brother Jiang, you are in charge of the aftermath of the bison, how is the progress?" ”

Jiang Huan said with a happy face: "I was about to tell you!" We have a total of more than 12,000 dead cattle and more than 6,000 injured cattle, of which the seriously injured and difficult to recover have been slaughtered in time, and there are still more than 1,000 young cows with minor injuries who have been driven into the wooden fence and raised in captivity, and the Yang Kun brothers are trying to tame them! ”

Nanying couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said, "That is to say, 17,000 bison have been slaughtered!" ”

Jiang Huan nodded and said, "Almost!" Due to the large number, all of us in the clan have set out together, and we have not yet completed the work of peeling the skin and extracting the meat, but I am afraid that it will take more than ten days! ”

Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "It's really a disaster!" But have you ever thought about a problem, with an adult cow can take 800 catties of meat, we can get nearly 20 million catties of meat, although it is still late autumn, the temperature is low, and the meat will not deteriorate in the short term. But after all, there is too much meat, how can it be preserved for a long time? ”

Jiang Mu sighed: "Actually, I'm also worried about this, now that I think about it, I can only distribute dozens of days of meat to each family, and then transport the excess beef to nearby towns in exchange for food!" ”

Nan Ying couldn't help laughing: "Ordinary people won't have extra grain to exchange for meat, and they can't afford to eat it, but the merchants won't buy a large amount of meat because it is difficult to preserve, and the effect of this method is only very small!" ”

Jiang Huan said with a bitter face: "Wouldn't that be a big waste!" ”

Nanying smiled: "It doesn't matter! I'll show you how to keep your meat for a year! ”

Jiang's father and son exclaimed together: "What? A year? ”

Nanying took out a piece of cloth and said, "I wrote it all night yesterday, this is how to make cured meat and jerky!" But you still have to go and get some more salt! ”

He also said: "I have done you such a great favor, you must hurry up and collect those cowhides, tendons, and horns for me, I will be of great use!" ”

But I saw the father and son with their heads together, their eyes widened, and they were looking at the cloth without blinking their eyes, where could I hear him speak half a sentence?

He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, so he had to turn around and leave, almost hitting a person, but it was Ma Jun.

Ma Junxian was listening for a while, and said strangely: "Lord! What are cured meats and jerky? ”

Nan Ying smiled, but thought that this young man was a generation of geniuses, and what others couldn't understand for the time being, maybe he could comprehend.

He patiently said: "Curing meat is to add salt to the meat, which can inhibit or kill some microorganisms in the meat, and inhibit the activity of enzymes in the meat, so as to achieve the purpose of food preservation." The dried meat is the moisture in the air-dried meat, so that most bacteria can no longer grow, so the shelf life is longer! ”

Ma Jun said dumbfoundedly: "Dare to ask the lord? What are microorganisms and bacteria? ”

Nan Ying said: "It is a creature that is difficult to see with the naked eye, it is the most widely distributed and largest number of organisms in nature, and it is the main participant in the material cycle of nature.

Ma Jun was stunned for a long time, shook his head and said, "I still don't understand!" ”

Nanying sighed lightly, looked up at the endless sky and said, "Boy! Nature created all things, and we humans call ourselves the spirits of all things, with well-developed minds and flexible limbs, but other organs such as eyes, ears, noses, etc., are still far inferior to birds and animals. ”

Ma Jun said in a trembling voice: "Please teach the lord!" ”

Nanying said in a low voice: "That is a kind of balance, and it is nature's constraint on us!" Just as cows and horses can eat grass, but tigers and wolves can devour cows and horses, there are countless such tiny creatures that are difficult to see with the naked eye around and in our bodies, some of which can even kill people, and we have been ignorant of their existence! ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but think of the time machine that caused him to return to the Han Dynasty, ignoring Ma Jun's shocked face and continuing: "Not only the world we live in, but even beyond the vast sky, there are countless lives that we can't imagine!" ”

Ma Jun's face turned pale, took a step back and said, "It's an immortal!" ”

Nanying smiled dumbly: "Not bad! If you insist that they are immortals, it is not wrong, because any creature that can descend on this land is already too much more than us humans! ”

Ma Jun stared at Nan Ying and said with unspeakable difficulty: "Lord, Lord, ...... are you?"

Nan Ying looked deeply into his eyes and said softly: "You are not an ordinary person after all!" I can already guess what you want to ask me! But! ”

He said in a cold tone: "You remember clearly! It doesn't matter who I am, the most important thing is that I am your lord now! ”

Ma Jun trembled, and suddenly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Nan Ying sighed, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Today's words, you must not tell others to know!" ”

After Ma Jun agreed, he smiled and said, "I have an important errand to be handed over to you to do, and I saw that the trebuchet you made yourself that day is very good!" ”

Ma Jun smiled and said, "The lord has praised it!" Catapults have been around since the Spring and Autumn Period, but they use a huge lever, the long end is a leather holster or a wooden basket loaded with stones, and the short end is tied to dozens of ropes, and when the order is given, dozens of people pull the ropes at the same time, using human power to throw the stones. I improved on this and used the elastic power of the piso to send out the stone, but it only took a few people to operate! He couldn't help but feel a little smug as he spoke.

Nanying nodded, "You are indeed smart, but do you know the flaws of catapults?" ”

Ma Jun said distressedly: "I know, that is, the catapult is all launched by throwing power, and there is no accuracy at all, unless it is a quantitative scale, it is difficult to cause continuous damage to a single target!" ”

Nanying laughed and said, "Well said! Let me ask you again, what is the most accurate weapon in the world? ”

Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "It should be a crossbow!" I look at Brother Zhang Xian when they make crossbows, it is hoped that the mountain can be used for aiming, which is stronger than the bow! ”

Nanying approvingly: "Not bad! So I want you and Zhang Xian to create a giant crossbow that can fire spears weighing dozens of catties, so that you can cooperate with the catapult to form a powerful offensive and defensive system! ”

Ma Jun opened his mouth and said, "Shoot a spear weighing dozens of catties?" God, what a huge crossbow does this need? What do you use as strings? ”

Nan Ying slapped him on the head and scolded: "Bai Kua, you kid is smart, what do you think I asked the Qiang people to help me collect cowhides and tendons?" Not only are those bison large, but they are also very good at carrying weights, and their tendons are the perfect material for making the torsion springs of the giant crossbow! ”

Ma Jun woke up like a dream, and wondered: "Torsion spring? What is that? ”

Nanying froze for a moment and said casually: "It's nothing!" It's a string or something! ”

Ma Jun was stunned for a long time and said: "This cow tendon can also be used in catapults, can't it greatly increase the range!" ”

Nan Ying said happily: "You kid can really draw inferences, not bad!" ”

Ma Jun's eyes flashed with admiration and said, "The lord is only letting his majesty admire!" ”

Suddenly asked: "My lord, this is your intention to collect cow tendons, but what about cowhides?" Surely it will be useful! ”

Nan Ying smiled and said, "When we attacked your cottage that day, what do you think of the combat strength of the brothers of the Bandun Battalion?" ”

Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "En! It's amazing, and I heard the lord say once that he would train them into hoplites! ”

Nan Ying sighed: "You kid has also seen that those cowhides are almost invulnerable, up to two inches thick at the thickest point, and more importantly, their weight is far less heavy than metal. You say, what if you can make leather armor out of it, and equip the Plate Shield Battalion in large quantities? ”

Ma Jun thought of the situation when the Bandun Battalion easily killed the bandits that day, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "If this is the case, it will be a nightmare for any enemy!" ”

followed Xiang Nanying to the ground and said, "The kid is served!" ”

After another ten days, the grain convoy of Heihu Mountain finally arrived, and the processing of more than 10,000 bison was also completed, totaling more than 15,000 complete bison skins, more than 20,000 horns, and countless beef tendons. In addition, Yang Kun also had a great harvest, tamed hundreds of juvenile yaks, and turned Nanying happy, this bison has great strength and super endurance, it is the best tool for transportation and farming, and maybe it can also create a yak cavalry that has never been seen in ancient and modern times!

Just as Nanying was alone in the infinitely beautiful lust, he didn't know that in a huge tent in the distance, two people were sitting opposite each other, discussing a big matter.

Jiang Mu said: "Huan'er, the food has arrived, the disaster of bison is also easily solved, and we have tens of millions of catties of beef, and our Guanghan and Qiang people can have no worries about food and clothing for a long time!" ”

Jiang Huan nodded heavily and said, "Not bad!" This time, it really depends on Brother Nan and them to avoid the danger of our extermination! ”

followed: "Before I came, I happened to see Brother Nan packing up, but I'm afraid that they will travel far again!" ”

Jiang Mu said slowly: "That's why I summoned you to discuss!" ”

Jiang Huan was stunned and said, "Is there anything unfinished now?" ”

Jiang Mu's eyes flashed solemnly and solemnly, and he nodded: "Yes!" That is how we owe the grace of others, how to repay it? ”

Jiang Huan was shocked and said, "Exactly!" ”

He said dejectedly: "This kindness is too great, I'm afraid it will not be easy for us to repay it!" ”

Jiang Huan Senran said: "My son's words are wrong! Although we are Qiang people, we are not as knowledgeable as the Han people, but we also know the truth that receiving a little bit of kindness should be reciprocated! What's more, we owe tens of thousands of lives! ”

A trace of crystal vapor flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Huan'er, do you know what is the biggest regret in your father's life?" Last year, Lord Zhang Huan unfortunately passed away due to illness, and my father lost the opportunity to repay him forever, which will be the pain of my life! ”

He suddenly raised his head and said, "Huan'er! We Qiang people have clear grievances, and our father must not let such hatred happen again! ”

Jiang Huan said with a firm expression: "Father is right! How can we repay the kindness of children who listen to their teachings? ”

Jiang Mu pursed his eyes slightly, and thought for a while before saying, "What do you think of Young Brother Nan?" ”

Jiang Huan couldn't hide his respect and said: "Although Brother Nan is not as old as me, he is a strange person, courageous, knowledgeable, and righteous!" It is a model of lifelong learning! ”

Jiang Mu smiled dumbly: "It seems that you kid still doesn't know how to read people!" This young brother Nan is not just what you say! ”

Jiang Huanqi said: "What does father mean?" ”

Jiang Huan suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Didn't you find out?" Not only do he have strange people such as Dian Wei and Jia Xu under him, but dozens of his subordinates are all masters, and thousands of stones of grain are given away casually, this young brother Nan is not simple! You don't really think he's just a businessman, do you? ”

Jiang Huan was stunned for a moment before he said, "Father, are you saying that he has another identity?" ”

Jiang Mu smiled but didn't answer, and suddenly said: "I think about it, not only to repay the favor, but also to consider the long-term rise and fall of my Guanghan Qiang for a hundred years, I have decided to let you lead 500 sons and daughters to join the command of Young Brother Nan!" ”

Jiang Huan lost his voice and said, "What? ”
