Chapter 122 Cao Xiang's brothers
The cooked millet was put in the palm of Meng Da and Meng Er's hands, and those little ducklings pecked at their hands, their small mouths were flattened, and they didn't want to stop for a moment.
Yun Lang and Cao Xiang, who lost the mahjong game, were not in the mood to eat well, and one of them bit a flatbread with braised meat weakly.
"I lost 700,000 dollars today!"
"It's a trivial matter for your family, ask your mother for it!"
Cao Xiang shook his head and said: "Mother is now the mistress of the Changping Hou Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the Pingyang Hou Mansion, how can I shamelessly ask my mother for money, it's not a joke!" ”
Yun Lang nodded and said, "It's really embarrassing, why don't we do business?" ”
"That's even more humiliating!" Cao Xiang refused: "The Pingyang Marquis Mansion has not fallen to that point, and there is no plan to become the same kind of person as the prisoner and the son-in-law." (The merchants of the Han Dynasty had a low status, and they were of the same rank as the prisoners and sons-in-law, and once they encountered war, they would be conscripted to guard the border passes, and they would die without life!) )
Yun Lang knew that Cao Xiang could not agree, so he pointed to Meng Da who was squatting in the yard to feed the ducks, and Meng Er said: "Is raising ducks and selling ducks considered a businessman?" ”
Cao Xiang shook his head and said, "How can this be calculated?" How can the chickens and ducks raised by the farmers themselves be considered merchants if they are exchanged for money in the market? ”
Yun Lang smiled: "That's good, that's good, we don't do business, we only raise chickens, ducks and geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, deer, and fish, that thing is too oil-intensive, as long as it can be raised, we will raise it all, on the grassland near Lishan, enough for us to raise hundreds of thousands of heads, if we can let the people of Chang'an Sanfu eat the livestock we raise, this is also a big income, much larger than the output of your land." ”
Cao Xiang shook his head and said: "You can play by yourself, the Pingyang Hou Mansion will not participate, as long as Ye Ye obtains a military merit, the income is much greater than that of raising livestock." ”
Yun Lang smiled: "Not necessarily! ”
Cao Xiang frowned and said, "Why is it gone?" How much grain do you have to feed livestock? You don't think livestock don't need to eat food, do you? ”
Yun Lang smiled: "I might eat a little miscellaneous grains, but ah, it's more grass, do you know what I found in the seeds I took from Zhang Tang at the beginning of spring?" ”
"What's that?"
Yun Lang smiled and looked at the green grass with purple flowers blooming at the foot of the mountain.
Cao Xiang looked over with Yun Lang's gaze and frowned, "It's still grass." ”
"This thing is called alfalfa, and the reason why the Huns' war horses are fat and strong depends on this thing to support, and with this thing, it doesn't take much food to raise livestock."
Cao Xiang sighed and said: "Even the Xiongnu have no way to attack my Han all the time, they will only attack after the autumn war horses have accumulated enough autumn fat."
Even so, every time the Xiongnu attacked, they would recuperate for a year before they had the strength to attack again.
Dahan is different, because our war horses are fed with beans, they can fight at any time of the year, which is our advantage and our burden.
It's a pity that the cost is too great, you know, the cost of raising a war horse for a year is worth the food of a middle-aged family for a year. ”
Yun Lang smiled and said nothing, there are too many ways to fatten war horses, if there are enough oil crops, enough bran, add a little soybean cake, and then use green storage feed to raise, the cost will not be so much.
Generally speaking, the yield per mu of grain crops is too low and the varieties are too simple, which objectively raises the cost of raising livestock.
In later generations, more than a billion people worked hard to eat beef and eat hairy belly hot pot, and they had never heard of the fact that cattle were not enough to eat, but cattle farmers were always worried about the sale of cattle.
The Great Han Kingdom is like this now, there are no surprises, there is nothing to complain about, and the current life is much better than before.
No matter where there was a rebellion or a tragedy, because of the closed news, they spread very slowly, as long as Liu Che didn't make the people in the world have no food, his country would be very stable.
Speaking of which, the people generally have a favorable attitude towards the current situation of the Great Han Kingdom, whether it is Emperor Wen or Emperor Jing, they are the objects of worship of the people, that is, in their reign, the people of the whole world finally tasted the taste of peace and prosperity.
There are not too many people who have opinions about the Han Kingdom, and the most acute contradiction is actually Yunlang himself.
He despises all the rules and regulations of this era, all the reform proposals of this era, and even more despises the laws of this era, and all the characters of this era!!
Yun Lang really wants to stand at the top and point to the nose of everyone in this world and say - you are actually garbage, I don't mean some of you, but I am saying that all of you are garbage!
Of course, he didn't dare to really do that, when the whole world is garbage, and you alone are the elite, people generally choose to kill the elite.
So that the whole world can become the same, everyone is a fool, all stupid life, stupid governance of the country, stupid war, this is the most correct way!
It's hard for a fool to pretend to be an elite, the problem is that it's also difficult for an elite to take the initiative to lower their IQ and become a fool, so that this thing is just an awl, even if it's inside your belly, after a long time, it will puncture the belly and expose itself......
This made Yun Lang very painful, many times he thought that the problems that were easy to solve, had to watch others turn eighteen turns before they could be solved with difficulty, or failed, which made his belly always contain the most vicious curse words in his belly.
It's not that there have been outstanding people in history, Yang Xiu is, You Heng is, Li Bai is, and many more, these people without exception do not have a very good ending.
A wise person is always miserable, and a wise person who is at the mercy of fate is even more painful.
Therefore, when Yun Lang held the wine jug and watched a group of gentlemen scattering joy on the grass, his eyes involuntarily revealed a trace of disdain.
A group of fools grabbed a beautiful concubine who didn't know whose family it was, put a flattened melon on her head, and then everyone took turns shooting it with bows and arrows...... Completely ignoring the fact that the woman was already scared to pee her pants.
The result was not good, and before Yun Lang could stop it, the neck of that beautiful woman was shot through by a fool with bad archery, and blood flowed all over the ground...... (The most perverted thing is the red bead of Hao's teeth, which is to bite a bead in the mouth and let others shoot it with an arrow)
Yun Lang supported the woman's head with his legs, and when he observed the woman's injury, he caused everyone to laugh like wolves, thinking that Yun Lang was taking pity on the beauty, and immediately they grabbed another woman who was about to be scared to death......
Yun Lang helped the woman pull out the feather arrow without an arrow, pressing her strong artery to slow down the speed of blood flow, and at the same time shouted: "There are more fun games, this kind of game is so fucking boring." ”
Cao Xiang could see that Yun Lang was on the verge of breaking out, so he joked: "If you can make a more interesting game, these two beauties will be yours." ”
The woman who was hit by the arrow was very lucky, the big blood vessel was not broken, but there was an extra hole in the neck, Yun Lang beckoned Chouyong to come over and help him send the woman home, but Chouyong shook his head with a pale face, and then ran away with a smoke, she was too scared, afraid that those people would catch her and take her to the top melon.
However, the red sleeves were very bold, and he dragged the Yun family's cart transporting mulberry leaves alone, and came to Yun Lang's side tremblingly, and dragged the woman back alone with Yun Lang's help.
Yun Lang wiped the blood from his hands, and looked at the group of energetic people in front of him who had nowhere to vent, and felt that American football without protection was very suitable for these people.
It was a game he had prepared for a long time, but it had been a helmet with arm guards, leg guards, crotch guards, and bamboo, but now it seemed that none of these things were needed.
There are many marquis of the Han Kingdom, of course, most of these marquis are the marquis outside the Guan, and the head of the family is not in Chang'an, one by one, in order to show loyalty, the eldest son of the family is placed in Chang'an as a proton.
They are very different from the local Guannei Marquis in Chang'an, all the sons and nephews of the Guannei Marquis will generally hold official positions in the army and the court, and will not be so idle.
Those who can come to the Yun family with a hello from Cao Xiang are basically useless people.
Since they are hostages, that is to say, these people are abandoned by their families, and they are surviving in Chang'an one by one, God knows what the family will do to make the emperor angry, and they will be beheaded.
After a long time, it has become a pervert one by one.
The rules of American football are very simple, especially after being simplified by Yunlang, it becomes even simpler, a piece of grass is demarcated an area, and everyone starts to play after simply familiarizing themselves with the rules.
It's impossible to play American football without a physical collision, and the fact that the group doesn't like anything about the rules soon turns into two herds of cattle fighting.
Yun Lang carried a pot of wine to watch these people play, and when he saw that Cao Xiang seemed to be very happy, he asked, "How much money did you get from these brothers of yours?" ”
Cao Xiang smiled: "One million and four hundred thousand dollars, enough for us to lose for two more days." ”
