Chapter 462: The Land of the River

Seeing that the battle was over, the guide who was hiding in the distance looked at Qi Ren who was resting on the muddy ground with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Hehe, now we have a few days' rations, but it's a pity that this big guy is gone, if we get it back to the camp, it will be enough for the brothers to have a full meal."

The platoon commander sighed twice.

"Why don't we send someone back to tell the general, and let the general send someone over to get some back?"

When everyone heard this, they felt that there was some truth in this.

It's just that the platoon commander shook his head and said: "Just for this less than a day's rations, delaying our trip, the general may go back, let's hang up and smoke a few whips." ”

Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought about it, this big snake was indeed a food that could not be eaten for a long time for this team of more than a dozen people, but it was placed in a camp of hundreds of people, and this little thing could not do anything.

Stony Brook's purpose is to get them to complete the task as soon as possible, but they didn't say that they could get these things back, according to the soldiers' understanding of Stony Brook, if they go back, the possibility of being whipped is extremely high.

And the person who reported the news who proposed to go back just now wiped his cold sweat with a little weakness.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, let's deal with this thing together, and throw it here if you can't take it away."

The thought of being able to eat a full meal in a while suddenly made everyone feel full of energy.

This big snake is nearly ten meters long, and it is roughly estimated that it is seven or eight hundred catties.

With no tools at hand, it's not easy to deal with this big guy.

It took nearly an hour for the group to cut the thing.

When the group left, everyone had a dozen catties of meat hanging on their shoulders, and even the indigenous guide who almost bowed to the big snake just now was happily holding a large piece of bloody snake meat.

After all, in an environment where food is scarce, even legendary artifacts can't resist the temptation to fill their stomachs.

When the expedition team is attacking everywhere and speeding up the pace to complete the mission.

The Yangzhou State Farm in Qi is carrying out a lively parade.

And the protagonists of the march were the model workers who were received by Yang Hao a few years ago.

And the husband of the silkworm carpenter Ya is also one of the protagonists today.

Yangzhou is markedly different from the rest of the state capitals of Qi.

Everything here is carried out by Yang Hao according to the commune system of his previous life, although it is not as prosperous as the towns around Chang'an, but the people here may be the most industrious people in Qi State.

As one of the key projects of Qi State, Yangzhou people almost regard the most glorious sentence of labor as the guiding light on the road of their lives.

These model workers who were received by Yang Hao are the best proof.

At this moment, they surpassed those local officials in the limelight, surpassing the most knowledgeable people in the area.

This is a lifelong glory, for the people who have lived in a radius of more than ten miles all their lives, the first time they went out of the house, and they went to the capital on a comfortable rail car, and even had a royal banquet, which may not have been experienced by a county order.

This is a proof of identity, with this experience, these model workers, even if they are not in the government, their prestige among the local people will be unmatched for a while.

More than a dozen model workers riding tall horses and wearing saffron on their chests waved to the cheering people on both sides of the road with some restraint.

The feeling made them nervous and excited, and it was as if they were in a dream.

The march lasted all morning, and when the crowd dispersed, the impact of the event was far from over.

In many years, in addition to a batch of model workers, Yangzhou is full of enthusiasm, and is trying to catch up with the prosperous Central Plains region as a latecomer.

Changan.

Yang Hao checked the folds sent by various departments.

Shaoyan, Yin, and Weihe sat down below, quietly waiting for Yang Hao to finish watching these twists and turns.

After a long time, Yang Hao flipped through the last letter and let out a long breath.

"The four towns in the south are very good this year, and they have the potential to catch up with and surpass the Central Plains!"

The three of them saw that Yang Hao was in a good mood, and they knew that there was no bad news in these compromises.

Shao Yan smiled and said: "The south has been really good in recent years, especially Yangzhou, last year's tax is almost equal to the sum of the other three prefectures, it seems that the way of this collective farm is still very good, and the minister feels that this law should be promoted in the rest of the state capitals, so as to improve the lives of the people." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The other two agreed.

Yang Hao said: "This matter is not enough, temporarily demarcate Suzhou out of an area, try, this model still has many hidden dangers, if it is rashly implemented in the country, if something goes wrong, it will be very serious." ”

"The king is very worried."

The three of them said in unison.

"King, now that the country is stable and the people live in peace, it's time to solve the surrounding barbarians."

Yin said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, those barbarians have become more and more restless over the years, and recently there have been occasional barbarian attacks in the border states, if the court doesn't beat it, these barbarians will become more and more arrogant."

Wei He, who has always been known for his good temper, suddenly became angry when he saw Yin mention this matter, and insisted on giving a tough blow to these culprits who disturbed the stability of Daqi.

Yang Hao said: "Daqi has been stable for all these years, and it's time for the soldiers to move, otherwise these guys will forget that my Daqi's knife is used to kill people." ”

As soon as the three of them heard this, they knew that Daqi, who had been calm for several years, was about to leak out its hideous fangs again.

The strength of the country made the three of them not afraid of war at all, and they once suffered from the emptiness of the treasury and did not dare to speak of war easily, but after several years of recuperation.

The wealth of today's Qi country is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

The current imperial court reserves are enough to support an extremely large-scale war, and as for sending a small number of troops to teach the barbarians who don't know whether they are alive or dead, it is not a problem.

The monarchs and ministers are all staunch main battle factions, and this war is already destined to be shot out and never recovered.

"The king, a remnant of the Xiongnu named the Ole Department in the north of Qinzhou, it is said that he has occupied a large area of land in Hexi over the years, and colluded with the local Xiqiang to pose a threat to Qinzhou.

Less Yan Dao.

Yang Hao naturally heard about this matter, the Hexi Corridor is the only place to go to the Western Regions in the future, if he doesn't solve this trouble as soon as possible, when the barbarians grow stronger in the future, he can only completely cut off the connection with the Western Regions like the Song Dynasty in another time and space.

This is something that Yang Hao absolutely cannot tolerate, although Qi now has firearms, but these firearms are not enough to have an overwhelming advantage over the barbarians who have already preliminarily mastered the smelting technology.

Only when they are fledgling can they be completely strangled in infancy.

Yang Hao's heart was already murderous, and he was 100% vigilant against all the unfavorable factors that prevented him from becoming emperor.
