Three hundred and twenty-two golden cities
This year's winter is especially obvious in Xiliang, the Qiang people are also nomadic people, and they are no worse than Xianbei. I heard that there are also wild Baiqiang tribes, but this is not important to Wang Lei. Many tribes in Xianbei can't survive, let alone the even worse Qiang people? What's more, the Qiang themselves will have civil strife, and there are more than a dozen small tribes in a small place......
Wang Lei stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, the situation in Wuwei made him very worried, but he couldn't send troops to help. You must know that there are many Qiang tribes near their Jincheng, and these tribes attack each other. However, the relationship between the Poqiang clan and Jincheng is the best, and the arrival of Wang Lei has gradually expanded the originally weak Poqiang clan.
With the support of Wang Lei's food, weapons, and armor, the Poqiang clan began to grow from a small tribe. The old people, women and children inside were grazing cattle and sheep, and the young and strong forces outside were constantly attacking other tribes. Capture other tribesmen and sell them to Wang Lei in exchange for a large amount of supplies, and it can also make their tribe stronger.
In the face of the powerful Han Dynasty army, the Qiang clan was considered to have surrendered. As the leader, he is very familiar with Wang Lei, although the Qiang people have also gathered a large army to break the Qiang, but Wang Lei will support, and the two of them gradually pacified the Qiang forces in the entire Jincheng.
The old people, women, children, and children can come to Jincheng to work, and the men can go out to fight, or they can herd cattle and horses. This made the Qiang people who had no fixed place suddenly have a stable life, and they were extremely yearning for this kind of life, both civilians and leaders. Because they don't have to think about starving to death, they don't have to think about other tribes bullying them......
The affairs of the Qiang tribe can be put aside, as long as their side is strong, they will never dare to move. With the passage of time, sooner or later these people will be sinicized. In the distant bazaar, the Qiang people came again to exchange for food and wine, and the general wine of the Han Dynasty was very popular here. Of course, those high-end teas are also very popular, but Wang Ti himself is reluctant to drink more, and he only has a little bit every year.
"My lord has a bumper harvest this year, the Qiang people have stored a lot of alfalfa grass this year, and the cattle and sheep can have a beautiful winter. After the New Year, there are a large number of cubs, and next year will be a good year. "The main thing here is still the main thing of the original Han Sui, although this little person has a bit of a taste of wall grass, but this is also his way of survival. As long as it is not too much, Wang Ti will not count these useless things when he does things safely.
Wang Lei nodded and said, "The lord's army should be almost here, and the house must be cleaned up." This year, the lord has been fighting in the south for a year, and he originally thought that he could have a good year, but who knew that he would go on an expedition again. Wang Lei is also helpless, but if this kind of thing is not reported, the consequences will be more serious.
Chen Li arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord's house is ready to come out." For that young general, Chen Li had only met twice. The first time was after attacking Han Sui, so now it should be the second time, right? The only thing that general gave him was youth, followed by fear. This kind of terrible is not to kill people to reflect the terrible, but the means that Liu Zhang is now operating.
Wang Lei nodded and motioned for him to get busy, and he stood alone on the city wall and watched. The current Jincheng is very good, and the relationship between the Qiang people is also good, and the people in the city are still busy working even if the New Year is approaching. Get ready for the New Year, earn a little extra money, or buy a nice sheepskin jacket.
You must know that not only the people of Chang'an want to have a good year, but also the people here want to have a good year. There is no shortage of meat here, and although there are not many types of vegetables, they are quite abundant. Compared to the winter before, now it is simply happy. Han Sui didn't care if the civilians would starve to death, and he didn't care if the people had vegetables to eat. But Liu Zhang cares about this very much, and the people are productivity for Liu Zhang.
Looking at the people who were still busy in the city, Wang Ti walked down from the city wall. It's been another year, and before you know it, he's been out for two years? Whenever this happens, he's a little homesick. This family has the hometown of Shu County, and there is also a new home in Chang'an. Of course, now that the Han Dynasty has not been reunified, they still have a lot to do, and the lord trusts him so much, but he can't live up to this trust.
When I came to the vicinity of Jincheng, the crowds gradually increased. Liu Zhang rode his horse and walked ahead, wearing a thick sheepskin jacket, and there was no trace of snowflakes falling on his body. Although his legs were a little uncomfortable, Liu Zhang didn't want to hide in the car when he was about to arrive in Jincheng.
Jincheng is already clearly visible, and I don't know when there is already a concrete road in the distance. When Liu Zhang stepped on the cement road, the gate of Jincheng opened. Wang Lei came out with a group of officials to greet Liu Zhang, after all, this is a meeting with the lord once every two years, which is not easy for Wang Lei.
"Haha, Yun Zhong hasn't seen you for a long time. Xiliang Bitter Han originally thought that you would be much thinner, but I didn't expect it to be no different from when Chang'an left. Liu Zhang got down from the horse and looked at Wang Ti in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little closer.
Wang Lei was really helpless when he was ridiculed by Liu Zhang: "The lord's Xiliang is much worse than Chang'an, but the materials here are abundant, the area is wide, and the daily life is very satisfying." "Although Xiliang is barren, since there are more fruit trees and a lot of alfalfa grass, the environment is much better.
Liu Zhang's smile can't be denied, Xiliang is just a little worse than the environment. But with his own governance in the future, it will definitely be good, and then all kinds of meat and vegetables here are not bad, but the difference is just popularity. Liu Zhang could see that it was still very good, even though most of the people in the distant market were foreigners, but it was not dirty.
Since Liu Zhang's fallacy, that is, the doctrine that dirty mess will produce plague. These people attach great importance to this, and even more so to these Qiang people. You must know that the most feared thing for these tribes is the plague, because for them the unknown thing is the whole tribe when they die.
"There are still few people, about those Qiang people who give them the opportunity to become Han Chinese. If you become a Han Chinese, you can use a sign made of steel to record some time, which can be regarded as a chance for those aliens. "Liu Zhang can't help it, the small population restricts the development of Jincheng.
Wang Lei nodded as he walked and said, "The lord sent troops to Wuwei this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back during the New Year?" "The snow is not very heavy this season, and although there is a lot of light snow, it does not cover the ground. In a month's time, it will be snowing heavily, and there will really be no return at that time.
Liu Zhang looked into the distance, Xiliang lacks a fixed river channel and it is definitely not possible to build a hydroelectric generator here, but a wind turbine can be considered. When Jia Xu's personnel were trained, he left a telegraph here. Once something happens, you can know as soon as possible, instead of waiting for months.
I have already told the students about the principle of the generator, and as for whether there is a comprehension or not, it depends on the will of God. It doesn't work for Cao Cao to learn all these things, after all, this thing can't become combat effectiveness. When everyone arrived in Jincheng, they really asked those aliens to be careful, and it was only after Wang Ti came forward that those Qiang tribes stabilized.
After a day's rest, I replenished my supplies and continued to set off. Ma Chao led a cavalry frantically towards Wuwei, which used to be his home, and now his father was also there. I didn't know what happened for so long, but Liu Zhang still asked him to go and see it first. As for himself, he has to carry a lot of supplies, and Wuwei is not short of food, so there is no need to be afraid.
Potatoes are really terrible, and under large-scale planting, they are enough for the people of Xiliang to eat for a few years. But the ancient people were born with a sense of insecurity about food, and even if there was too much, they didn't feel enough. But as everyone knows, that thing is very hungry, and even if you eat it desperately, you can't eat it all.
In the past, Liu Zhang still liked to eat beef stewed potatoes, but now Liu Zhang wants to vomit when he sees potatoes. However, the people of Chang'an, even Wang Yi and others love this kind of food. As Wuwei approached, the heavy snow finally fell. Wuwei City in the distance is much taller and looks a lot bigger......
The kind of small tents that resemble yurts densely packed outside the city, Ma Chao's army has already entered the city. Liu Zhang got off the horse but walked over, and Ma Teng and Ma Chao in the distance hurriedly greeted him: "The lord ......" Ma Teng was really full of emotion when he saw Liu Zhang again, and now Liu Zhang is much more mature than at the beginning.
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Shoucheng, how many people from different races have come?" How many empty houses are there in the city? Liu Zhang knew that there were a lot of simple cement houses built here, and those houses were very simple to build and very strong, which is very good for a border city.
Ma Teng said as he walked: "At present, there are more than twenty small tribes in the Lord Lord's foreign race alone, with a population of about 40,000 people. Most of them are women, children and the elderly, with less than 2,000 young and strong people. There are still many cement houses in the city, and it is not difficult to accommodate these people. At present, the city only accepts the tribal population that trades with us, and the outside of the city are all small tribes that have just arrived here. Ma Teng said as he walked, for these small tribes, it is a pity not to kill and afraid of chaos.
Liu Zhang just nodded to indicate that he had heard, but his eyes kept sweeping the small tent in the distance. There were old men and women standing there. There are also a lot of little dolls that look dry one by one. Saying that he is an old man is actually just a man in his forties, but the perennial herding life makes those people look even older. These people are not as good as before, and they are even worse than they are young, and they are probably the first to be abandoned in the winter, followed by women......
Humanity exists even in the most beastly tribes, and some small tribes are unwilling to disgrace these old people, and some tribes are unwilling to discard these women. In the end, the tribe was wiped out, but now they all came to Wuwei......
