Thinking of this, Zhang Yue carefully observed these Huiqu herdsmen again.

These Huiqu herdsmen are now almost indistinguishable from the Han people, especially in their dress, all of which are standard Han costumes, mainly burlap deep coats and straight-lined skirts.

These dozens of herdsmen, apparently as a family unit, appeared in front of Zhang Yue's eyes.

There are old and young, men and women.

Cooperate with each other in the division of labor and close unity.

Young and middle-aged people are basically helping Zhao Guo, building livestock sheds, or busy unloading a large number of wooden tools, mangers, and various utensils for cutting grass and large and small belongings from the carriages.

Their belongings have a strong nomadic style.

Basically, it's all large vessels.

And most of them are bronze, very bulky, and it takes two or three people to carry them.

The women, with their children, each tended to a herd of livestock.

The old man, on the other hand, was on crutches, looking at the animals with joy on his face, and his mouth was full of words.

According to the information known to Zhang Yue, the Huiqu people belonged to the Han family at the time of the Henan Campaign.

At that time, the general Wei Qing led the Han cavalry, using the strategy of 'flank detour', quickly interspersed from Ziling into the hinterland of the Hetao, and seized the Gaoque fortress with lightning speed, surrounded the two major tribes of the Xiongnu Baiyang and Lou Fu in the Hetao area, and gathered and annihilated them.

The Huiqu tribe was returned to the Yi Han family at that time.

At first, it was obscure, which can be known from the fact that the first Huiqu Hou was only sealed in the first year of Yuanjiao.

However, when Huo Qubing was born, the Huiqu people followed under Huo Quzhi.

In addition, Zhang Yue actually did not have more information about Huiqu.

Even, do Lianhuiqu people belong to the Donghu family? Yue's lineage? Or is it the Huns? It's also a bit silly and unclear.

There is no way, the Yidihu people, in the eyes of Chinese scholars, are actually the same.

Either stout and barbaric, or blond-haired and blue-eyed, or black-haired and brown-eyed, anyway, no matter the culture, clothing, customs, beliefs, or bloodlines, they are not in line with China.

However, the appearance of these Huiqu herdsmen in front of them is almost the same as that of the Han people.

It's just that the stature may generally be shorter than that of the men of the Han family.

But there's no way around it!

In the Qin and Han dynasties, the male height of the Zhuxia nation had reached the peak of the entire feudal dynasty!

According to the Chinese law, a man (aged 23 or above) who is under 6 feet 5 inches tall is a person with a disability and is exempt from certain heavy forced labor.

But at the same time, they were also forbidden to join the army and to go out of office.

If you're under six feet tall, you're a dwarf.

In the Han Dynasty, the normal height of adult males was generally above seven feet, and it was not uncommon for them to be eight feet tall.

That's why there is a saying that has been handed down to future generations: Seven-foot Angzang man.

This can be glimpsed from the unearthed terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang.

The average height of the unearthed terracotta warriors and horses is close to 1.8 meters, especially those warrior figurines that are the core of the military formation, all of which are more than 1.8 meters tall.

Therefore, the Zhuxia armies of the Qin and Han dynasties completely crushed the surrounding Yidi barbarians in terms of physical fitness.

In front of the Chinese soldiers of this era, I am afraid that even the Spartans of the European continent will be ashamed of themselves.

Wei Qinghuo went to the era of illness as a man and a five-hu, but it was not just talking.

It can really be done, 5,000 to 20,000, 30,000 to 100,000, and the Huns who can still be scared are running around the grassland.

With curiosity, Zhang Yue approached an old man from Huiqu who was taking care of his children and livestock, saluted slightly, and bowed: "The junior respectfully greets the elders, ......

When the old man of Huiqu saw Zhang Yue's official uniform, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly bowed back and said, "Little old man doesn't dare to be a big gift!" ”

A smooth authentic Guanzhong dialect surprised Zhang Yue.

"Dare to ask the elder's surname?" Zhang Yue asked.

"The little old man's surname is Mu, and the cheap name is Mu to capture slave......s," the old man said with a smile, and then said proudly: "This is the name given by General Hao back then!" ”

"General Hao?" Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what are the benefits of Hao Gong?" ”

The old man nodded proudly.

Zhang Yue was suddenly in awe.

Zhongli Hou Hao Xian, that was more than 30 years ago, the once famous general of the Han Army.

However, this general is first-class in leading troops to fight, but he is not good at being an official, and he was dismissed from office within a few years because of a mistake in doing things.

However, as the general who first followed Wei Qing out of the fortress, this general is quite popular in Guanzhong.

Many young people adored him.

This old man of Huiqu, since he can be given the name 'Capture Slave' by a former general of the Han Army, it means that he once captured a Xiongnu nobleman on the battlefield?

"Xiao Ming Gong is the official husband here?" The old man asked with a smile, his smile mixed with a hint of cunning.

Zhang Yue replied honestly: "What the elder said is very true, and the younger generation is now added as the new Fengling!" ”

"That's good!" Mu Xuanu smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yue and said, "The official of the servant, tell me and wait, the arrears of salaries are paid by the noble official...... Please also ask Ming Gong to pay the salaries owed to us by the servant Yamen! ”

The surrounding Huiqu families, hearing this, also moved closer to Zhang Yue's side, and bowed one after another: "Please also ask Ming Gong to pay the salary owed to us by the servant......

"Huh?" Zhang Yue was taken aback.

Where is the foreshadowing of Gongsun Jingsheng?

He tried to ask, "How much salary do you owe to you?" ”

"Not much...... "Mu Slave grinned, "It's only half a year's salary......"

"There are six people in the old family, according to the law, the young and strong pay 600 yuan a month, the women pay 300 yuan a month, and each household gives three horses of cloth and five catties of tea bricks...... In addition, the milk and wool produced by livestock are all used by Lao Er and other family members...... "The old man smiled and said: "This is what Da Sima agreed with us back then!" The Son of Heaven also allows it! ”

Zhang Yue heard this, this is too poor for the yamen to look like this?

Even this money is in arrears?

Aren't you afraid that the Huiqu people will be armed to ask for wages?

But he knew that in fact, all along, Guiyi Hu people like Huiqu, whether they were in Shanglin Yuan or in Taifu Yamen, all those who worked for the Han Dynasty were all married in April.

Originally, these salaries should have been paid a long time ago.

However, who knew that Zhang Yue was born and Gongsun Rou entered the ship prison.

In order to fish out his precious son, Gongsun Jingsheng didn't say anything about deducting the salary of the Huiqu people.

He even touched Ma Zheng's money.

"How much do veterinarians pay for it?" Zhang Yue turned his head and asked Zhao Guo.

"One thousand per month, enjoy exemption, five horses of cloth in March, and fifty ......stone of rice," Zhao Guo replied with a bowed head.

Zhang Yue thought about it and calculated an account in his heart.

He probably knew, Gongsun Jingsheng, that this was throwing away a group of unpaid employees.

Combined, these people are probably more than a million in arrears.

In other words, Gongsun Jingsheng wanted to suffer a loss for himself.

But......

"Gongsun Jingsheng is a fool...... Zhang Yue muttered.

Just for a million, he sold it to an excellent herdsman and veterinarian like himself?

Zhang Yue really wanted to ask, did he have water in his brain?

Just the dozens of Huiqu herdsmen in front of me, I am afraid that the value they can create is tens of millions or even tens of thousands!

Not to mention, as long as they can take care of these livestock, take care of them properly.

Wait until the spring of next year, when spring ploughing, ox ploughing, horse ploughing, supporting the quyuan plow.

This value cannot be measured by money.

Not to mention, even in winter, these livestock can greatly help Zhang Yue and do a good job in channel construction.

With this batch of livestock, Zhang Yue can even build a few more channels this winter.

Is this something that money can measure?

Of course, these people's income is indeed high!

Huiqu herdsmen, young and strong, each person earns 600 per month, which is equivalent to the standard of 200 stone officials in the Han Dynasty.

And the veterinarians earn 1,000 per month, which is comparable to the monthly salary of 400 stone officials.

All add up, I'm afraid, just a month's salary, Xinfeng will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars.

But this money should be spent, and it is worth it!

With them, the future animal husbandry of this Xinfeng will have a great future.

Maybe......

Zhang Yue rolled his eyes and asked Mu Zhunu, "Dare to ask the elder, can you bring grass seeds?" ”

When the latter heard this, he first shook his head, then nodded with a smile.

When Zhang Yue saw it, he smiled.

He immediately said: "Don't worry about the elderly, the younger generation promises, three or five days at the latest, or one day at the shortest, and the wages you owe will be paid in full!" ”

Even if you count the cloth and tea bricks that you owe, they add up to only one million at most.

Although Xinfeng has no money in the account now, Zhang Yue can pay it first.

Wait for Yuan Guangguo's funds to arrive, and he can come back.

And what he will get is dozens of the best herdsmen in the world and fifteen veterinarians who have worked hard to train the servants.

Their value is immeasurable.

According to rough estimates, as long as they can take good care of this batch of livestock, just selling calves and foals every year, Xinfeng's finance can earn tens of millions!

Not to mention, you can also get an extra batch of alfalfa grass from the Western Regions.

Zhang Yue is hungry for alfalfa grass, and it is not a day or two.

But it was the servant who controlled the alfalfa.

And he and the servant Sun Jingsheng can be described as mortal enemies.

There are no alfalfa grass seeds at all.

Now, Gongsun Jingsheng took the initiative to send it to the door.

This is tantamount to sending him an introduction to the animal husbandry technology tree!

"It can cultivate high-yield and high-nutrient forage grass...... Zhang Yue is now almost excited: "Maybe you can even cultivate a variety of sand-proof grasses that resist wind and sand and stabilize the water and soil......"

He licked his tongue, and his little heart thumped.

Zhang Yue even seemed to see the future, and he sowed a grass seed to the Juyan, Jiuquan and Zhangye areas, turning the local desert into an oasis for a bright future.

If this is the case, then in the future, the land west of the river may become a river loop plugged into the south of the Yangtze River.

The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

"Gongsun Jingsheng, it seems that I really want to thank you well......" Zhang Yue smiled and faced the direction of Chang'an.

He didn't know what would become of this servant's face when he used these livestock and talents sent to the door by Gongsun Jingsheng to frantically brush up his prestige and political achievements next year?

It's going to be brilliant, right?

…………………………………………

Zhang Yue didn't know that Gongsun Jingsheng was now immersed in the pleasure of getting a plan.

Although he is domineering and deceitful, he is not stupid to be a servant and be a Jiuqing.

In his opinion, Zhang Yue wanted that batch of livestock, which was nothing more than to take it to eat, to treat his subordinates, and to hold it to death, that is, to transport the goods.

Could it be that he can still play new tricks?

This is naturally no wonder Gongsun Jingsheng.

In fact, there is a serious asymmetry of information between the two.

In today's world, although cattle farming and horse farming exist, they are not very popular.

Moreover, animal husbandry technology is facing countless technical problems.

In most areas, the main method of arranging the land is traditional extensive farming.

That is, to watch the sky and eat.

Many people sow crops, but simply turn the ground by manpower, and then throw some seeds away.

When there is a reduction in yield, leave the land fallow and let it slowly regain its fertility.

What kind of intensive farming, fertilization, and manure are still black technology at present.

Most people have never even heard of it.

Not to mention this servant who was born with a golden key.

Therefore, Gongsun Jingsheng's pride is beyond words.

In his eyes, those 1,500 livestock and nearly 100 veterinarians + herdsmen will definitely drag that damn Zhang Zizhong to death!

His abacus is very fine.

The cattle ate and drank Lazar every day, and they also built livestock pens.

This in itself is a significant expense and burden.

And those herdsmen and veterinarians are even more gold-eaters.

Tens of thousands of dollars are swallowed in a month, hundreds of thousands, or even millions a year.

and welfare, rewards.

If you don't have two or three million in a year, you can't do it at all.

How much is the one-year-old fiscal income of Xinfeng County?

With such a burden on his back, can he still jump on that weight?

Once he has a problem in Xinfeng, can the Son of Heaven and the eldest grandson still trust him?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Jingsheng's smile was like eating honey.

"I'm just waiting for you to be forced to sell your cattle and horses!" Gongsun Jingsheng proudly made his own calculations.

As long as there is news about the sale of cattle and horses in Xinfeng, he will immediately lead the team to investigate.

It is a great sin to resell the country's livestock!

As long as it is verified, no matter how much the Son of Heaven spoils this Zhang Zizhong, I'm afraid he will have to spank him, right?

Therefore, in Gongsun Jingsheng's view, these livestock, herdsmen, and veterinarians are poisonous fat.

If you eat it again, even if you don't die, you have to have diarrhea.

"If you dare to harm my son, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" Gongsun Jingsheng clenched his fists and looked viciously in the direction of Nanling.

Although Gongsun Rou is a bastard, he is an idiot.

But that's his son too!

Just as he was proud of this, thinking about it, an official hurriedly ran in from outside, and saluted Gongsun in a panic: "Servant! I just got the news that Wang Mang led people to surround the Yamen of Shuiheng Duwei and arrested more than a dozen officials in the Yamen of Shuihengduwei......"

"Ah......" Gongsun Jingsheng opened his mouth wide, sat down incredulously, and muttered: "Jiang Chong is finished!" ”

Captain Shui Heng, that is Jiang Chong's lair.

Now, Wang Mang, who is in charge of Jinwu, has led his troops to arrest the officials above and below the Captain of Shui Heng, this is to point the sword at Jiang Chong!

Although, Gongsun Jingsheng actually doesn't like Jiang Chong very much.

But......

Now, he has a sense of desolation as a rabbit dies and a fox dies.

Because, Jiang Chong is actually the same as him, he is the one who fell because of Zhang Zizhong.

Now, Jiang Chong was forced to the foot of the wall by Ji Jinwu.

And what about him?

If Jiang Chong falls, how many days can he still jump?
