Chapter Sixty-Seven: Lis's Expectations

The grassland in summer is very attractive, and the whole grassland is not inhabited as far as the eye can see. The green meadow was like a huge carpet spread from one side of the sky to the other, dotted with one or two wildflowers. Occasionally, a wild bird "swished" into the sky. A large herd of wild horses galloped and frolicked in the meadows, their raised manes illuminated by the bright sunlight into thousands of gold and silver threads.

Yellow sheep graze leisurely on the grass, looking up at the distant team from time to time. Seeing that there was no threat, he lowered his head and continued to eat. Even pheasants flew low-altitude and scurried among the grass.

"The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low. Boy's blood, hero's tears ......" Yun Yue saw such a scene, and couldn't help but sound the famous song. When he sang it in a low voice, he immediately won a full house.

"Good!" After recuperation, Han Fei can already bask in the sun on the wheel with the support of the maid. It's just that his face is still stained with thick gauze, and he trembles when he sees Xiaobai scurrying around from time to time.

"I thought that Yunhou would only learn some miscellaneous studies, but I didn't expect that his poetry skills were also very accessible. Such words, even Xun Qing's old guy can't be chanted. Zou Yan slapped his face and chanted twice more like Yun Yue.

Yun Yue's old face flushed, although intellectual property rights are not popular in these years. But Yun Yue also disdains to be a pirated villain. This is a folk song handed down by the Qiang people under the Yin Mountain, and Yun Yue listened to it very well. Translated, that's roughly what it looks like. ”

"Oh, the Qiang people can also chant such good sentences? Yunhou is humble, it must be that you have polished a lot when translating. "Zou Yan was a strong nationalist, and he was concerned about the fact that the Qiang people were able to chant poetry. With deep skepticism.

"I heard that Yunhou robbed many Qiang people to work as coolies in Pingliang. Is there such a thing? Han Fei immediately grasped the point. He promised to return to Pingliang with Yun Yue. Go there to fulfill his ideals, his ambitions. It is necessary to build an unprecedented world under the rule of law and make full preparations for the coming great unification.

"No one is in Pingliang! At this time last year, there were only four or five thousand households in Pingliang Restaurant. After Yun Yue's repeated pleas, the food euphemism reached seven or eight thousand households. The population is only tens of thousands, and it is a drop in the bucket to build Pingliang with these people.

There is no choice but to rob the Qiang people for work. A few years ago, the city wall of Pingliang was ruined by the Huns. Now it's all up and down. water conservancy construction, mining mines, road and bridge construction...... Everything is inseparable from manpower. They are lucky, at least Pingliang can ensure that they are well fed and clothed. If he was caught by the Huns, he might be steamed and sacrificed to the sky. With the Huns, hundreds of slaves were killed in this way every year. There are Qiang people and there are Chinese people.

Now we are still very weak, there is no way for me to do business with the Xiongnu Dadan Yu to exchange some plundered Chinese slaves back. But it's a drop in the bucket! "Every time Yun Yue thinks of the misfortunes that have befallen those Chinese people of Wei and Zhao, there is a fire in his chest. But the population is only tens of thousands. Far from being an opponent of the Huns. At this time, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"The nations are fighting. The vassal states all invested their forces in internal attrition. Where is there any strength left to resist external humiliation, hey...... In the final analysis, it is the people of China who are unlucky. Only when the world is unified can we gather the strength of China to resist foreign enemies. Han Fei's opinion is to the point, but it sounds like Jiang Guangtou's outside must first be inside.

"Yes! Han Gongzi is right, this great controversy has been in the world for hundreds of years. We can only watch the grassland savages grow stronger day by day, as if the great sages who respected the king like the Duke of Qi Huan were gone. "Zou Yan has been in Qi for many years, and he yearns for Qi Huangong's hegemony back then.

"No matter how virtuous the king is, in the end, it is not a mortuary to attack each other regardless of the armor. The corpses and insects all crawled out of the window, and no one paid attention. Sixty-seven days...... It can be seen that the state has no law. can only do their own thing, just like the law of Qin Guo's respect for the king. Everyone has a law to behave, how could there be a tragedy like Qi Huangong. ”

Han Fei seems to like arguing with Zou Yan very much, one is a master of law, and the other is an astronomical expert. It's really interesting for these two to argue. Yun Yue prepares melon seeds and popcorn and prepares to watch the play. If only there was a Coke.

A river flowed like a jade belt through the vast grassland, and the camp was anchored on the river's edge. As soon as the sun set, countless naked creatures jumped into the water and threw themselves. In some places upstream, a curtain was raised. That's the beauties in the shower! Some shameless attempts to snoop on one or two, but they were all scolded back by the pirate wives. The fierce woman who came out of the pirate village is the master who can cut people with a knife. The killers also had to concede three points. As for whether it can be protected from underwater. Then it is unknown.

Three or four fat big black fish were placed in front of Yun Yue, and Xiao Qiu was very sensitive to fish. It was very strange to look at this kind of fish that had not been killed, and according to Yun Yue's request, the fish meat was removed one by one and cut into small slices. Black fish, the best material for boiled fish. I've been eating beef and mutton all the time, and I'm fading out of my mouth, so I'm going to improve my food today.

Several foodies in the convoy heard the wind and gathered in Yunyue's tent. Prepare to feast, and what can make Yun Yue drool is generally a delicacy in the world.

Yun Yue squatted on a stool, staring at the boiling boiled fish on the charcoal stove. Viciously warned Wusun Jichang: "If you dare to stuff the pair of chopsticks in your mouth into the pot, I will put the pot on your head." "The hateful guy has been suffocating lately, and seeing the sows have double eyelids. All the anger is vented on eating, and every time you eat, you look like you are forgetting to die, and you must be warned in advance. Yun Yue didn't want to eat saliva, it was too disgusting.

Zhang Jia was a lot more gentle, and he and Shao Si ordered the two of them to mix a bowl of sauce. The eyes were not aimed at the fish in the pot, and the two pairs of Qianqianyu hands were close to the chopsticks on the table.

Yu Ji, Zou Yan, and Han Fei all did a good job, and there were two pairs of chopsticks in front of them. A look of being ready to strike at any time.

The pot was boiling, and Yun Yue fished out a piece. The fish is gone, and Shao Si Ming and Yu Ji are masters of martial arts. The emphasis is on stability, accuracy, speed and ruthlessness, Zou Yan and Han Fei also swept thousands of troops, and one person filled a big bowl. Princess Zhang Jia didn't use chopsticks at all, this girl used a fence. Under the fence, it is full of white fish and meat. Wusun Jichang's eyes straightened, and when he was about to start again, he found that there were only some green vegetables left in the pot.

The helpless Wusun Ji Chang could only scoop up a chopsticks of bean sprouts, and watched Yun Yue pour the fish on the plate into it again.

The two female generals shyly ate the inventory, and from time to time they stuck out their little pink tongues to show off. Han Fei had little inventory, and after eating, he began to look at the fish in the pot. Yuji was very satisfied with the spicy taste of the boiled fish, and gave Yun Yue a thumbs up. The speed of the chopsticks is more frequent.

"This is one of the dishes, Yunhou is already the top. It's just an ordinary fish, and when cooked, it's easy to eat. From the small to the big, eating is more clear than ordinary people. Not to mention other things. ”

While Yun Yue was eating boiled fish, Li Si was walking in Pingliang Market.

Between the ruins and ruins of the war, there have been earth-shaking changes in the past few years. The rammed loess city is gone, replaced by a city wall made of blue bricks. The cement ticks the seams, and the lines are extremely clear. Sent people from afar to shoot crossbow arrows, but they couldn't get into it at all.

The entire city wall was expanded for ten miles, and two carriages could be used on the city wall in parallel. According to Yun Yue's instructions, the lower large and the upper small formed a trapezoid, but the city wall facing the outside of the city was a right angle of thousands of walls. If you want to climb up, I'm afraid that the ladder is not long enough.

The whole city wall is more than ten zhang tall, and there is a feeling of towering into the sky when standing under the city. Under the city wall, there is a moat five or six zhang wide, where the water flow is calm, and the northwest has an abundant underground water source. When digging the moat, a spring was dug out. I simply don't drink outside, just dig deeper. Now many wells have been drilled in the city, and all of them are sweet wells. Even if there are people besieging the city, they will not be able to cut off the water supply.

On the city wall is a dense array of arrow towers, and the powerful hand-cranked three-bow bed crossbow can reach a range of 1,000 steps by its height. Coupled with the Yun family's massive crossbows, it was enough to make the toughest enemy shed every last drop of blood under the city walls.

Of course, this is still not the sharpest weapon of the Yun family. That machine trebuchet is the real killing weapon, put that kind of black fire oil and launch it, and burn it wherever it is touched, especially after Master Geng creatively added frosting, this thing is simply a nightmare for the siege soldiers.

The huge gates are several feet high and are made of the strongest poplar wood. A thick layer of iron plates was held outside, and a half-foot-thick jack gate was suspended on the side of the suspension bridge, which had already weighed more than a thousand catties.

Looking at this majestic city, Li Si smiled. Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is nothing more than that. It seems that it is not as cool as it is in scale.

But when he walked into the city gate, Li Si couldn't laugh. The piled up dwellings appear to be unusually empty in Pingliang City, and the road that is seven or eight feet wide is paved with boulders and black oil mixed with stones according to the instructions of the Hou Ye. The horse-drawn cart and ox-cart drove on it, and it was extremely smooth.

There are several small markets on the side of the road, which are also sparsely populated, far less prosperous than Xianyang City, which makes people feel sad to watch.

Lack of people! A cart of exquisite glass products, a cart of mellow and fragrant flat wine, a cart of delicious canned meat. In exchange for a mountain of grain, and a pile of treasures from the treasury. But there is a shortage of people, and the Qin people originated in the northwest. But this does not mean that they like the desolate Great Northwest, they prefer the rich Guanzhong. Although, Pingliang is so rich now. But who knows?

Li Si didn't want anything now, he just hoped that Yun Yue could bring back more people. It's good to stuff the huge Pingliang City, and I really want to see what Pingliang will look like like a shoulder to shoulder like Xianyang. (To be continued.) )
