Xu Huang was lying on a grass that had been gnawed by cattle and sheep, and the fresh cow and sheep dung on it did not emit a foul smell like a pig, but a faint smell of grass.

With half a blade of grass in your mouth, let your body relax as much as possible, you should try to relax as much as possible before the battle, only when you relax well, when the battle begins, can you burst out with strong combat power and hold on longer.

The brothers, who were in charge of taking care of the livestock, put one small cloth bag after another on the mouth of the war horse, where was the best bean material, and they could keep the horse full of physical strength.

He was breaking five eggs and stirring them into the hay, and he was eating happily, snorting a few satisfied snouts from time to time.

"Brother Zhang, next time you come again, you must bring more eggs, my team, 4,000 war horses, I hope to be able to eat five eggs a day." Xu Huang placed his own order with a merchant sitting next to him: "There are also beans, and they must be doubled, because in the near future, the number of my war horses will increase, although the war horses on the grassland are not as tall as my Xilianghetao war horses, and they do not pick forage, but I need to march for a long time, and I can't let those captured horses get rid of the speed of my march." There is also table salt, which must also be doubled, and it is not possible to run long distances, so lacking salt. ”

Xu Huang said one by one, and the businessman surnamed Zhang wrote it down one by one, and when he saw that Xu Huang no longer spoke, he asked again hopefully: "Is there anything else?" Can you order something more? ”

Xu Huang laughed: "People's hearts can't be too greedy, too greedy is not beautiful." ”

"It's not greed, but it's a rare opportunity, other businessmen follow the lord to fight everywhere, and the money is already eye-catching, and those of us who follow you, you have not had a war in the Yanmen Pass area for more than two years, and it has made us poor jingle bells, this is not easy to fight, and I don't take the opportunity to make a lot of money, if you treat the Wuhuan people like this time to the master, come ruthlessly, there will be no business opportunities in the future."

Xu Huang smiled and denied his idea: "The lord wiped out the Wuhuan people in one fell swoop, that was due to a number of reasons, the population of the Wuhuan people was small, and as a result, he was introduced to Youzhou by Zhang Chun, and our lord burned Yuyang, and annihilated him nearly 60,000 at a time, so that his elite was lost, and then the lord swept the grassland with men and horses, and annihilated their scattered clansmen one by one, and finally it was a fire, so that there was the current situation." ”

Thinking about it, Xu Huang was really yearning for it, regretting that he surrendered too late and was not able to follow Lu Peng to open up territory for the Han family.

Since Wei Qinghuo went to the sick and sealed the wolf Juxu, opening up territory for the Han family has become the greatest pursuit of all Han men, and this spirit that has been integrated into the bone marrow has always inspired the Han men to fight bravely.

"But we are facing Xianbei now but different, Xianbei people have at least tens of millions of people, their territory is vast to tens of thousands of miles, we can't completely wipe it out, now we have to devote ourselves to the Central Plains, so we can only take this method to consume them, so you can rest assured, the war with the grassland will last a long time, and there are many opportunities to make a fortune."

Now these merchants do not feel the slightest sense of guilt about making war profits, but take it for granted, because their wealth, in the final analysis, is not earned from these Han armies, but from the hands of the defeated Xianbei people in the future, no, to be exact, grabbed.

"I order 2,000 slaves from you this time, you must supply me with the full amount, otherwise the factory owners in the state will tear me apart."

Xu Huang nodded: "The quantity is no problem, but this time, when the lord was in Sichuan, all the people handed over to you were young and strong, and this time I am a litter of men, women and children, so I can only guarantee your head number, not your quality." ”

This businessman surnamed Zhang laughed and understood: "Of course I know this, think about the windfall that those merchants who bought slaves in the hands of the lord, we are red-eyed, and this opportunity has also given us merchants in the north, where do we dare to be picky?" But I can also tell you that strong men can go to the mines, older men can go to raise pigs and sheep, children can go to the factory to do some light work, as for women, young people, those big families need these well-behaved people to be maids and servants, rough hands, can also go to the garment factory to work, anyway, we need people everywhere in the whole state, to be honest, if those pigs can grow a pair of hands, those factory owners will rush to hire. ”

As they spoke, the two of them laughed happily.

In the laughter, the two of them were also very confused, in the original, the biggest headache for officials at all levels was that there was too much population, there was so much land, and when there was a large population, there was no land for them to cultivate, and there was no food for them to feed their families, and in the end they all became hooligans and robbers.

However, since the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, it is strange to say, the population is growing, and there is still so much land, but now there is a shortage of people everywhere, everywhere, the shortage is simply too great, everyone has a livelihood, who wants to be a homeless? The world will be too peaceful, the world is too peaceful, in principle, there will be inertia, the people will become lazy, the result is different, you go to the state and county managed by the Tang Dynasty to see, there are no idlers everywhere, everyone walks is wind and fire, revealing a spirit, two people meet on the street, there is no short nagging in the parents before, everyone meets just to say hello, and then they are in a hurry, where is there time to waste on chatting?

In the past, the common people were most afraid of war, because war required hard labor, because war would kill people, but now the people are looking forward to war with joy, because when the war is launched, it means that they have another chance to make a profit.

In the past, merchants were also afraid of war, because of the war, the trade routes were cut off, and the people who escaped from forced labor became robbers, and the most terrible thing was that the government at all levels began to apportion fees to these merchants layer by layer.

But now it is different, and the merchants are also looking forward to war, because war is a business opportunity, an opportunity to make a fortune.

In a word, now under the rule of the Tang king, all the people are looking forward to war.

When the two of them were sighing, a brocade guard rushed back, and when they saw his excited face, everyone knew that a new war was coming, so the soldiers cheered, so the merchants cheered, and the people who followed also began to cheer, about the arrival of the war.
