Chapter 213: The Prairie Cultivates the Fields
"Boss Zhen, I'm still young now, and I haven't thought about getting married so early." Zhao Hui said.
I haven't seen Zhen Rong, but with Zhen Mi's peerless appearance, her sister Zhen Rong won't be difficult to see.
But for such a marriage that is married because of interests, it is not what Zhao Hui wants.
originally thought that Zhen Tu was talking about Zhen Mi, and Zhao Hui could use his age to shirk it.
For the Han people who got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Zhen Rong was already late at the age of sixteen.
But for Zhao Hui, the eleven-year-old Zhen Mi is just a little girl, and the sixteen-year-old Zhen Rong is also just a little girl.
If Zhao Hui had to get married now, Zhao Hui would not choose the eleven-year-old Zhen Mi, nor would he choose the sixteen-year-old Zhen Rong.
Zhao Hui will only choose Zhang Xue, who has known him for six years.
Zhao Hui really didn't want to get married now.
Although he has been working hard now, Zhao Hui doesn't know when he will suddenly disappear one day. It's like he came into this world out of nowhere.
If he leaves his wife and children here, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
"Boss Zhen, let's not talk about this family matter first, the food matter will depend on you in the future, if you don't have anything, I will let people accompany you around Beiping City, I still have some things to deal with." Zhao Hui said.
"Zhao Taishou will go and get busy if you have something, don't worry about me, I'll leave first." Zhen Tudao.
Although he failed to marry Zhao Hui, he could double the share of Thymexiang this time, and Zhen Tu still felt that his trip was worth it.
"I hope that after I go back, Xiao Rong won't blame me." Zhen Tu sighed.
It is really difficult for the children of these families, especially women, to marry someone they like.
Basically, whoever the parents say they want to marry, then they have to marry whomever they have to marry.
Even Zhen Mi, the pearl of the Zhen family, does not have the right to choose. His father had long been preparing to send him to the palace and become Liu Xie's empress.
As for whether Zhen Mi will be happy in the future, it is not in their consideration at all.
Of course, with their thinking, they must think that Zhen Mi becoming the queen is equivalent to happiness.
The most noble woman in the entire Han Dynasty, what else can not be satisfied.
Zhen Rong was relatively lucky this time, when Zhao Hui went to Zhongshan to borrow grain, she and several sisters of the Zhen family quietly went to see Zhao Hui.
She likes heroes, and Zhao Hui is very much in line with the image of her husband in her heart.
This time, the Zhen family wants to use her to marry, and Zhen Rong himself is also very satisfied with such a family affair, but unfortunately Zhao Hui has no idea of starting a family now, and he doesn't like such a marriage.
These marriages seem to have strengthened the relationship between the two parties, but for the sake of interests, the Zhen family will also give up Zhao Hui and Zhen Rong when it is time to give up.
For the family, these women are just a tool. When the family needs it, then maintain a good relationship.
The family does not need it, and even affects the future of the family, then they will treat it as if they have never had this daughter.
Yuan Shao did not help Gongsun Chan seize Youzhou as promised, and provided less and less grain and grass for Gongsun Zhan.
Yuan Shao has no intention of driving Gongsun Chan out of Jizhou for the time being, and he also needs Gongsun Chan to contain Zhao Hui for him.
In Yuan Shao's plan, Youzhou will also belong to him.
He will only let Gongsun Zhan and Zhao Hui consume each other first, and then he will come out to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, Zhao Hui has not yet fully controlled Youzhou, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to attack Gongsun Zan at this time.
With the help of the Zhen family to buy grain, Zhao Hui is not worried about the shortage of grain and grass.
Only a small part of the grain purchased by the Zhen family was used to make wine, and most of it was piled up in the warehouse.
Most of the Zhen family's grain was purchased from Jizhou, which is equivalent to sending Jizhou's grain and grass to Youzhou and selling it to Zhao Hui.
The overall amount of food in Youzhou is increasing, while the food in Haoqiang's family in Jizhou is getting less and less.
Yuan Shao didn't know about this situation yet.
When Yuan Shao's army set out, it was very likely that they would borrow grain from these Haoqiang families, and at that time, these Haoqiang families would not be able to give Yuan Shao much food at all.
Cheng Yuanzhi did not live up to Zhao Hui's expectations, and after becoming the captain of the Karasuma Guard, Cheng Yuanzhi had now formed a Karasuma cavalry of 3,000 people.
Coupled with the 2,000 people brought by Cheng Yuanzhi, Cheng Yuanzhi now has 5,000 cavalry in his hands.
This Karasuma cavalry is a warrior recruited from various Karasuma tribes. Everybody is a skilled archer.
Now it only takes a little training to become a formidable cavalry.
has Zhao Hui as a backer, plus Cheng Yuanzhi's own strength.
Not to mention that the Karasuma people are trained to be obedient, at least on their faces, they will never dare to go against Cheng Yuanzhi.
Cheng Yuanzhi, who has five thousand cavalry in his hand, is already the strongest person in the Karasuma tribe.
All the Karasuma tribes combined, the population is less than 300,000.
The largest tribe has a population of no more than 10,000 people.
Zhao Hui planned to wait for the complete control of Karasuma and then migrate a group of people to the Karasuma tribal area.
The grassland, where the Karasuma tribe is located, has a lot of black soil, which is perfect for growing crops.
If farmland is reclaimed there, it will be a bumper harvest for at least three years, which can greatly increase the grain production in Youzhou.
In Youzhou, every year during the autumn harvest, there would be Xianbei people who came to grab the grain in the field.
Don't even go to the grasslands to cultivate the fields.
If you want to farm safely on the grassland, you must have the strongest cavalry to protect it.
Zhao Hui wanted to subdue the Karasuma people and use the Karasuma people to protect the field.
This is also an opportunity for the Karasuma people, but I don't know if they can seize it.
Zhao Hui estimated that if the fields were really reclaimed on the grassland, there would be people in the Karasuma tribe who couldn't help it. There is no reason not to grab the food in front of you.
People will have a fluke in their hearts, especially when they do things that harm others and benefit themselves, this kind of heart will continue to be amplified.
Not only the Karasuma people, Xianbei people, but also the more powerful Huns.
After learning that this grassland had enough food for their tribe for a year.
It's definitely like a pack of wolves that smell fishy, swarming there.
Zhao Hui wanted to reclaim the fields on a large scale in the black soil where the Karasuma tribe was located, but it was still difficult to do so.
Now it is only temporarily cultivated on a small scale to avoid attracting the Huns.
Xianbei and Karasuma can still be controlled by Zhao Hui now.
After Cheng Yuanzhi established himself in Karasuma, Zhao Huixian only sent a thousand strong people over.
These people cultivated their fields in the Karasuma grassland, and for the first year they were exempt from taxes, and they were all responsible for whatever grain they harvested from the geography.
In the second year, only one percent of the tax is collected, and in the third year, two percent is collected, and from the fourth year, the same tax is collected as other people in Youzhou.
Although it is very dangerous to go to the grassland to reclaim the fields, Zhao Hui gave such preferential conditions, and he was known that there would be a large army to protect them, so there were still many people who were willing to go.
In addition to these thousand ordinary people, Zhao Hui sent another army over. Every soldier in this army is also a good farmer.
Their task is also to clear the fields in the steppe and at the same time defend the country.
