Zhang Yue took people to walk in the ranch of the Huiqu people, looking at this land that had been gradually managed by the Huiqu people with their hands, and his mood suddenly became transparent.

Since returning to Xinfeng from Chang'an last time, he will come here every once in a while.

The relationship with Huiqu people has grown by leaps and bounds.

By now, he can call out the names of almost every Huiqu herdsman, and even know their personalities, preferences, and specialties.

And in the hearts of these Huiqu people, Zhang Yue has now risen to an almost god-like status.

Just like now, seeing Zhang Yue coming over, busy harvesting the grass, the Huiqu women who piled it together immediately took their children, bowed respectfully, and saluted: "Brother Shizhong!" ”

Everyone is adored, full of fear and respect.

The word elder brother is still only a term used by the northern Xiongnu, Wuheng and other ethnic groups.

It doesn't mean a brother, either.

It is a nomadic title for the strong, chief, and noble people of the tribe.

Just like when Huo Qu was sick all over the world, when the Huns saw his battle flag, they were heartbroken and shouted: "Brother Hussar is here!" ”

And then he ran away without a trace.

He really couldn't run away, so he took all the men, women, and children, led the cattle, sheep, and horses, and carried a little lamb in his arms, and crawled in front of his army, and raised his hands in surrender.

Therefore, among the northern tribes, it is a great achievement to be revered as an 'elder brother'.

There is a reason why Zhang Yue can be called 'brother' by the Huiqu people.

At present, among the Huiqu tribes, eighteen large green storage cellars have been dug.

Thousands of stones of forage are stored in it, which is being fermented by the green storage.

This alone is enough to make the Huiqu herdsmen worship from the bottom of their hearts.

The technology of green storage cellar is not worth mentioning in later generations.

But in this era, for the Huiqu people, who make a living from animal husbandry, this is an epoch-making invention comparable to hybrid rice.

Because, with this technology, livestock no longer have to be afraid of not surviving the cold winter.

For herders, livestock is everything.

Zhang Yue looked at this situation and a smile appeared on his face.

Now, these Huiqu people have taken root in Xinfeng and have become a part of Xinfeng County.

The cattle they raised were also fat and strong.

The survival rate of hundreds of newly born foals and calves is even close to 80%!

This means that he has already caught a trump card.

A trump card that interferes with the layout and construction of the Han Dynasty horse administration and state-run ranches.

Perhaps, he can also take the opportunity to influence the selection of the new servant.

Thinking of the matter of the servant, Zhang Yue also frowned slightly.

Because Prime Minister Sun He committed suicide, their father and son, who had been in power for more than 20 years, were immediately put under a magnifying glass.

Not to mention that their father and son are incompetent and greedy.

It's that they run the Taifu Yamen very well, and once it falls, then the tsunami will sweep across the entire Taifu.

Now, the old servant Prime Minister Gongsun He committed suicide in fear of crime, and the current servant Gongsun Jingsheng was imprisoned in a rebellious and unreasonable manner.

The entire servant system immediately became a stinky dog that everyone could step on.

In half a month, the officials at the top of the hierarchy were gone.

A large number of officials ranging from 400 to 1,000 stone were ordered to resign or resigned voluntarily.

As for those old and relatives who were once close to Gongsun He's father and son, they fell into the abyss all of a sudden—they probably had to spend the rest of their lives in prison!

It is precisely because of this that the competition for the position of the servant has become more intense.

Shangguan Ji, who was almost nine out of ten, is now not so confident.

Because......

Now, even the people of the Liu family covet the position of the servant.

Fools can see that as long as they sit in the position of the servant, they can distribute hundreds of fat differences to their own people in minutes.

"It seems that you still have to hold up Shangguan Ji......" Zhang Yue thought in his heart.

Shangguan Ji is a little like to pat on the back, and he is also very keen on sycophancy.

However, when it comes to Ma Zheng, he is at least an expert, at least familiar with the business.

It's much better than the children of the clan who are now boasting about themselves.

After all, even if an expert makes a mistake, he will not make a fatal mistake!

And the layman may not even know what the mistake is.

There may be a myriad of well-intentioned things that are wrong.

Zhang Yue has seen too many similar things.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Zhang Yue continued to move forward and walked to the valley area at the core of the ranch.

This place has now been turned into a military camp.

A black dragon flag fluttered above the mouth of the valley, and on both sides of the valley, a fence was also built.

Barracks made of bluestone are lined up in the valley.

"The servant is here......" A stubby man, seeing Zhang Yue's shadow from a distance, immediately led people out of the valley, stepped forward, and bowed: "The last general, He Yuan, to see the servant!" ”

"He Sima, please get up ......" Zhang Yue immediately stepped forward, helped this person up, and asked with a smile: "Sima and all the township parties, can you still live here?" Is there anything in life that needs the attention of the county government? ”

The one stationed here was the old Changshui Tunnel Camp in Xinfeng that had just been ordered from Changshui Township seven or eight days ago, and now the Xinfeng Tunnel Camp.

He Yuan is the Sima officer of this tunnel battalion unit that came to support the construction of Xinfeng.

"Caring in the service, the last general would like to thank the service on behalf of the tunnel camp......" He Yuan got up and said with a smile: "Since Xinfeng, I have been cared for in the service, and I have eaten sorghum meat, drank wine, and all kinds of tools, all of which have been replaced, and now all the soldiers are gearing up to listen to the call of the service at any time!" ”

Zhang Yue listened and said with a smile: "In the future, Xinfeng will go up and down, and all kinds of affairs will require He Sima and all the soldiers to work hard!" If there is any need, Sima can directly raise it to the official and the county government, as long as it is a reasonable request, the county government will do its best to meet it! ”

The tunnel camp is the result of the evolution of warfare in the Warring States period.

In that world of great strife, in order to win the war and preserve the country, all the nations devoted their energies to 'winning the war and winning the war'.

Because everybody knows that if you lose a war, you will lose your land at least and your country at worst.

As a result, the military became professional and professional.

Crossbowmen, cavalry, charioteers, heavy infantry, light infantry, and other military branches were born (of course, they may not be called by this name, for example, the heavy infantry of Qin is called Caiguan, and the Wei, Zhao, and Chu are called Wushu).

The Battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping was a large-scale symphony played by these professional and professional armies.

Ensuring the smooth flow of roads and bridges for the army's supply and march has naturally become a necessary requirement in the context of the times.

The tunnel battalion unit was born.

At its peak, among the army of the Qin State, the tunnel camp once accounted for one-third!

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the size of the tunnel battalion was still huge.

It's just that it doesn't pay as much attention as the Qin State to.

After all, when he was in Qin, if he lost the war, he would lose the country and the society.

But the unified Han Empire, even if it loses one or two games, it doesn't hurt.

Moreover, with the development of the times, cavalry became the main force of war.

The object of the war has also changed from the fortress of Zhuxia in the past to the nomadic people on the endless steppe and the dwarf city-states of the countries of the Western Regions.

Against this background, the use of tunnel battalion troops is becoming less and less.

Naturally, it is becoming less and less important.

In the Guanzhong area, because of the needs of the Lingyi project and the construction of the royal garden, it still maintains a professional tunnel camp.

The tunnel battalions in other places are no different from the young and strong and the people.

But as a traverser, Zhang Yue knows that engineering soldiers, especially those who know how to operate scientifically, will not be outdated at any time!

This Changshui Tunnel Battalion, which he specially transferred from Changshui Township.

It is also a relatively elite and professional tunnel battalion unit in the Guanzhong area.

In the past, the Changshui Tunnel Battalion didn't just need to fulfill the various needs of the Changshui Lieutenant.

It has to be to support Tai Changqing's various work.

There is no doubt about the professional ability!

Not to mention, most of the soldiers in the Changshui Tunnel Battalion are all from Changshui Township.

The strength and close ties of the township party are enough to make this tunnel battalion the most trusted and best helper of Zhang Yue.

In the same way, the soldiers of the tunnel camp have a natural affinity and trust for Zhang Yue.

Therefore, every time Zhang Yue came, the entire Sima, up and down, all came out to greet him.

It's the same now.

More than 230 soldiers dressed in red cloth came out of the barracks in the valley one after another, looked at Zhang Yue, and all waved their hands.

"Erlang! Jiro! "This is the soldiers born in the Jiating Pavilion and several nearby pavilions, they are even more loyal to Zhang Yue, and they belong to the kind of existence that can even help Zhang Yue block the muzzle!

"Servant Zhonggong!" The soldiers, who were a little farther away, were a little reserved and shy, but their waists were straight, and everyone's faces were full of pride and pride.

There is no way, in this era, the strongest feelings, in addition to brothers and sisters, father and son, and clan comrades, are the feelings of the township party.

Zhang Yue looked at these young faces, smiled and waved in return, and said, "All of you are well!" Fathers and brothers are well! ”

Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Yue said with a smile: "This official is entrusted by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson this time, and on behalf of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, he came here to visit and comfort the soldiers of the tunnel camp......

"Transferring all the soldiers to Xinfeng, this official specially pleaded with the Son of Heaven, and obtained the approval of the Son of Heaven and the approval of His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun!"

As the crowd listened, their waists straightened up.

He Yuan even took the lead in worshipping: "We are dreaming of sleeping at night, and we must do our best to obey the servants and obey the orders of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson!" ”

All the soldiers also bowed and said, "Sleep at night, do your best!" ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly helped He Yuan up, bowed to everyone, and said: "And I specially sent all my fathers and brothers here, but I also hope that my fathers and brothers will not give up, help me, and build Xinfeng into a model in the world, a paradise for the Han family!" ”

When everyone saw this, they knelt down and bowed back: "Since we have been loved by the servants, we dare not serve to die?" ”

"Good!" Zhang Yue got up and bowed again: "To be able to get the help of my father and brother is like a tiger with wings!" ”

Zhang Yue is never worried about the professional ability of the Xinfeng Tunnel Battalion.

They can even maintain the mausoleum temple in Nanling, and the requirements of the company commander's water cavalry can also be met.

Now come to Xinfeng to build water conservancy, naturally it is not a problem.

What's more, Zhang Yue also outfitted them all with brand-new tools.

Even the sapper shovels of later generations were made and distributed to them.

They are also specially placed here, adjacent to the Huiqu people, so that they can use the livestock of the Huiqu herders to carry out various civil engineering operations.

With these conditions, if you can't even build Xinfeng's channels, it can only prove one thing - Zhang Yue is too unsuccessful to be a man, and even the township party is unwilling to help him!

And if this is the case, Zhang Yue feels that he should resign early, go home and eat and wait for death.

If you can't even win over the township party, how can you unite others?

Now it seems that he has a good reputation, at least among the township party, and the soldiers of the tunnel battalion are willing to help him.

The truth is very simple - to help him is to help yourself!

In the future, Zhang Yue is developed, can he still sit back and watch the elders of Changshui starve?

That's impossible.

The officials and nobles of the Han family would not have an opinion on the welfare of their hometown.

Even, the emperor sometimes transfers his favor to a certain official's hometown, and if such a thing happens, the official will even feel that the emperor is really good to him!

For this, I am grateful and swear allegiance!

For example, after the Lou Chuan general Yang Fu became famous, he would rather give up the opportunity to become a marquis, but also plead with the Son of Heaven to move Hangu Kanto to his hometown of Xin'an.

In the end, the Son of Heaven agreed to his request, and Yang Fu gratefully connected three letters, saying that even if he was a cow and a horse in this life, he would not be able to repay the Son of Heaven's favor!

And the people of Xin'an have also missed Yang Servant very much so far.

Even in Xin'an County, many families will give this Lou Boat General some blood food during the Spring Festival.

Of course......

Zhang Yue didn't just want an engineering army that could only build water conservancy.

His ambition is much greater than that.

What he wants is an engineering army with strong construction capabilities.

A powerful engineering force that is proficient in all kinds of civil engineering operations and can build a city in a short time!

In this way, if he goes there in the future, it will be China!

"This time, in addition to condolences on behalf of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and after reading your fathers and brothers, this official also brought some things for you......" Zhang Yue took out a silk book from his arms, handed it to He Yuan, and said: "I hope that He Sima and your fathers and brothers can create this affairs for me and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson as soon as possible......"

He Yuan took the silk book, opened it and looked at it, but found that it was a few recipes.

He glanced at Zhang Yue slightly strangely, then put away the silk book, and said: "Please rest assured that the waiter will arrange manpower as soon as possible, and make the things in the silk book according to the instructions of the waiter!" ”

Zhang Yue listened, nodded, and said, "There are Lao Sima and your fathers and brothers!" ”

What he provided to He Yuan was the preparation formula and steps of soil concrete and soil cement that he traced.

Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence that these two technologies are what he has seen on the Internet.

Although it has not been practiced, it should be possible.

The only problem, about these two technologies, is that they are more polluting, more energy-intensive, and more wasteful.

But in this pre-AD world, you can't ask for too much.

It's good to be able to use it!
