The horses chime, and the caravan starts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Lite people are really wealthy, and the caravan uses fat and strong horses to transport goods, which can be used as war horses for the second-rate troops of the Tang Dynasty.

Even Xuanqing and Feng Xiaobao were given a carriage (not transporting goods) to sit on, saving them the pain of a long journey.

In fact, the leader of the caravan, Kang Caien, values Xuanqing's blue eyes, if it weren't for Xuanqing's opposition, I'm afraid that even the maids would be sent to them!

It was a sexy fire-provoking girl who only wore a bandeau on her upper body and a scarf cover------ sitting in Kang Caien's car, and when everyone bragged later, Kang Caien said that Xuanqing didn't want it, and Feng Xiaobao sighed pity.

There are 800 miles from Chang'an to Luoyang, it is not far away, it is not close, Feng Xiaobao looks at the road conditions, it is better to be close to the city, smooth and spacious, but far away from the city, it is full of potholes, water in the pits, the carriage is shaking three times, sitting in the carriage swaying left and right, and jumping up and down, once Feng Xiaobao almost touched the roof of the car!

"This is the royal road, and the government has to build the road every year, but it can't be repaired if it is repaired and repaired!" Xuan Qing sighed slightly.

Feng Xiaobao showed a knowing smile------ the government of any dynasty built roads like this, if the road was built as solid as iron, how could there be funds to spend money.

The scenery on both sides of the road is green mountains and green waters, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, after decades of recuperation, the traces of the previous war have also disappeared.

But even in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, there are still very backward outside the city, there are not many fields, backward houses, and a sparse population.

There are also many places that are bare and dark and ugly----- wildfires have struck, and there was no firefighting equipment at that time, and fires were common.

Seeing Feng Xiaobao's thoughtful appearance, his eyes didn't look like a young boy at all, Xuan Qing couldn't help but ask, "Xiaobao, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about population and food!" Feng Xiaobao replied casually.

"I want to hear about it!" If it was a real teenager, Xuanqing would not listen to him, but Feng Xiaobao was under the name of Purple Qi from the East and the future person, Xuanqing listened carefully.

"The rise and fall of all dynasties are related to land, experiencing a cycle of chaos----- great governance---- great chaos---- great governance, after the chaos, the population has died a lot, the land has become more, and there is no contradiction. Then the population increased, and the government and nobles and landlords occupied more and more land, and they often did not have to pay taxes! The court could not collect taxes on the side of the nobles and landlords, and the more they exploited the peasants, the more profound the contradictions became, and in the end the contradictions intensified, and the peasants rebelled! ”

"Whether the rebellion is successful or not, the population will be reduced, the contradictions will be reduced, and the country will get a period of peace, and after that, the cycle will come again!"

"Is there a solution?" Xuanqing asked.

"I have a lot of ideas." This question is too simple, Feng Xiaobao has a lot of information about the future to answer.

"I want to hear about it!" Xuan Qingzheng wanted to hear what this little sage had to say.

"The first is to develop agriculture, for example, to increase the yield per mu of agriculture to 3,000 catties!" Feng Xiaobao opened his mouth and said with a big breath ----- toad. (One pound in the Tang Dynasty was 700 grams, and three thousand catties were almost equal to two thousand catties in later generations, that is, one ton, but the area of mu in ancient times was also different from that of modern mu)

"Three thousand catties!" Xuan Qing looked at Feng Xiaobao with extreme suspicion and decided that he was bragging.

You must know that the ancient agricultural technology was extremely backward, the yield of chestnuts per mu in the Han Dynasty was about 40 city catties, and the average yield of chestnuts per mu in the Tang Dynasty was about 113 city catties, 3,000 catties.

Feng Xiaobao did not elaborate on how to produce 3,000 catties per mu, and said the second solution: "To develop agriculture, we must also develop industry and commerce, and communicate with each other."

"Industry vs. Commerce?" Xuanqing understood it as: "Is it handicrafts and commerce? ”

"Yes!" Feng Xiaobao responded, but he also did not expand on how to develop, and directly talked about the third strategy: "Start a war and seize more land from the outside world to settle my Han people!" ”

Xuanqing's suspicion about Feng Xiaobao increased, and he also had some information on all aspects, and retorted: "I face the sea in the east, the bitter cold in the north, and it is difficult to win the war with the northern peoples, and the west is the desert, the jungle in the south, the plague is epidemic, and there is not one in ten who goes, and my Hanmin has developed to the extreme!" ”

Seeing his suspicions, Feng Xiaobao said through the wind: "What if we can create an iron horse that can travel thousands of miles a day?" This kind of iron horse can drive on the track, galloping, traveling thousands of miles a day, so how far can I help? ”

He threw out the concept of the railway, thinking that he could scare the ancients with future people, but Xuan Qing was dumbfounded, pointing at him, looking frightened.

"What's wrong?" Feng Xiaobao asked curiously.

"Family teacher ......" Xuan Qing let out a long breath and said: "The family teacher is leisurely and elegant, and once counted a hexagram for horses, birds, and swimming fish, saying that in the future, there will be iron horses, iron birds, and iron fish, all of which can be better than the original owner, and they can all be loaded with people, and the speed is very fast, amazingly fast, like an iron bird can travel thousands of miles a day!" But why is it so fast, the family teacher can't figure it out! ”

"Ahhh This time it was Feng Xiaobao's turn to be surprised!

"Li Chunfeng is so good 13! You can even count railways/automobiles, airplanes, and ships! Feng Xiaobao thought admiringly.

And Xuanqing's mystery about Feng Xiaobao is not the biggest, only bigger, he can see that Feng Xiaobao seems to know the information of the iron horse, the iron bird, and the iron fish!

You must know that Li Chunfeng is a god, he can calculate that the iron horse, the iron bird, and the iron fish are immortal-level skills, Feng Xiaobao, is he really a saint and a future person?

Xuanqing fell into deep thought.

……

Feng Xiaobao was light with Xuan Qing first, and soon Feng Xiaobao's attention was attracted by a group of knights galloping back and forth.

They are bodyguards invited by the caravan, not a dart game, they can be called swordsmen, rangers or martial arts heroes.

The first swordsman, called Guo Luquan, square face, dignified appearance, heroic, speaking like a bell, at a glance is the material for the leading brother, the horse he rides is a big horse, and the horsetail horse runs in a straight line, which is very windy.

He had a knife with him, and he immediately hung the hammer, and the knife was stuck in the scabbard and could not see anything, but the hammer was purple and black, which was not its own color, but the hammer was dyed by many killers.

Guo Luquan's accomplice is a one-eyed dragon, a knife mark passes through the blind eye, although there is only one eye, but his gaze is sharp, looking at your eyes is like a pinprick!

He had a strong bloody murderous aura on his body, condensed like substance, and rode by, making Xuanqing, who had closed his eyes and recuperating, open his eyes, and made Feng Xiaobao feel cold!

Feng Xiaobao's temperament was inferior to that of the splashy skin that he had come into contact with before, and the temperament of the three knights who chased him was not as good as that one-eyed dragon.

In addition to the leaders, there is also a group of swordsmen, and no one has a temperament comparable to them!

As for the third swordsman leader, Feng Xiaobao's eyes lit up, because he was a young man in his thirties, and what attracted Feng Xiaobao was not his appearance, but that he carried a big bow!

Bow and arrow, Feng Xiaobao said that he really wants to learn!

He had been chased and killed by an arrowless arrow, and although he was not injured, he was so impressed that he wanted to learn how to use a bow and arrow, but when he had the chance, he would see if he could ask for advice!

Later, I knew that the one-eyed dragon was called Xu One-eyed, the name was not clear, everyone called him Xu One-eyed, and the one who held the bow was called Tang Zhiyu, the three of them were from Chang'an, and they were all mixed on the Silk Road, escorting caravans in and out of the country.

The boring road, nothing to do for a day, this meal at noon, everyone eats dry food, and only in the evening does the camp be set up and a bonfire is lit.

Feng Xiaobao looked at how to set up the camp, first chose a good position, then laid a circle of wooden stakes, and then used a rope to connect the wooden stakes, and then drove the carriage into the circle, the carriage butt was all outward, the horses were loosened, and they were taken away to drink water and feed, and then set up a tent in the circle, there was a gap in the stakes, it was regarded as the camp gate, and people were sent to garrison, they were all hands and feet, and the movements were very fast, Feng Xiaobao saw them take out a stack of bamboo, and quickly set up a small lookout platform three meters high, the two stood up and looked around, Coupled with the patrol knives around, a seemingly similar camp rose from the ground.

The tent set up is also exquisite, the big money lord Kang Caien is in the center, his tent is the largest and most luxurious, next to it are the three swordsmen and Xuanqing, the outer circle is the caravan chariot and horse men, and the outermost is the swordsmen.

……

The camp of the Lits is always the liveliest, with campfires lit, musical instruments played, and the smell of hearty food making people's mouths water.

Kang Caien was extremely hospitable, and invited Xuan Qing and Feng Xiaobao plus the three swordsman leaders to have dinner together!

Feng Xiaobao liked his food very much at first glance, because the Rite people ate wheat noodles and mutton, and Hui Lin's "All the Jingyinyi" clouds: Hu eaters, that is, gongs, baked cakes, Hu cakes, and other things. ”

The gong, or braised rice, is similar to Xinjiang's famous mutton pilaf, made with rice and lamb, raisins and onions.

Kang Caien's pilaf, the oil is good---- the fragrance is strong, the rice is beautiful---- the best rice in the south, the meat is fresh------ he actually transported live sheep in a carriage, freshly slaughtered sheep! Raisins are definitely produced in the Western Regions---- the Western Regions are full of light, the grapes have strong photosynthesis, and the sweetness is excellent!

Therefore, the pilaf made was delicious and large, so that Feng Xiaobao and the three swordsmen ate a large piece, and their mouths were full of oil, and they were very satisfied.

Baked cake is the naan in Xinjiang, add a little salt water and clear oil to the flour, and evenly, knead thoroughly, slightly hair, you can bake into naan, it is easy to make, easy to carry, long-term storage is not bad, suitable for the advantages of the journey.

Xuanqing doesn't eat pilaf, but he still eats baked cakes, and with fragrant tea, it is very suitable for Xuanqing.

On a side note, Kang Caien knew that Xuanqing was coming, so he specially ordered baked cakes made of dead noodles (unfermented noodles) and clear oil (Lits prefer to use mutton fat) before leaving, which was quite heartfelt!

The baked cake is added with flax, similar to the future Beijing baked cake, and the taste is also good.

There was also a basket of fruit and wine, which was a great meal!

And the host is also hospitable, the more Feng Xiaobao eats, the happier Kang Caien is, and praises Feng Xiaobao for appreciating his face and knowing how to eat!

"According to the teachings of our Lite people, those who can eat must be able to work, and the more they eat, the more they can work!" Kang Zeen said.

Feng Xiaobao muttered in his heart: "To be honest, the diet of the Lite people is really suitable for long-range operations, and the diet of the expeditionary force in the future will have its place!" ”

……

There are many benefits to eating, Feng Xiaobao quickly narrowed the relationship with Kang Caien, and also talked with the three swordsmen.

The one-eyed dragon didn't say much, Guo Luquan didn't pay much attention to Feng Xiaobao because of his age, only Tang Zhiyu didn't despise Feng Xiaobao because of his youth, but answered patiently with a good temper.

"What do you want to learn archery...... Looking at Feng Xiaobao's longing gaze, Tang Zhiyu smiled, as if remembering the years when he learned archery when he was young.

"There's a lot to learn!" Tang Zhiyu explained: "Don't shoot first, practice the movement first, hold the bow in your hand, raise the bow, aim, and do it when you have time!" ”

"For example, there is such a rule, don't let it go, otherwise it will hurt the bow to do so, pull the bow apart, you can't let it go, but you should release it slowly."

"Pay attention to the posture, I used to stand in one position for a day!"

"But some things don't last, you have to shoot quickly when you draw the bow, and the accuracy will decrease as your muscles stalemate, and the longer you aim, the more inaccurate your shot will become."

"If you are in a hurry, start with a small bow and slowly increase your strength, don't be afraid of losing face, so it is very suitable to use a small bow at a young age, not afraid of losing face, no matter how big it is, you will be laughed at with a small bow, learn early!"

……

Tang Zhiyu explained a lot of common sense, of course, his secrets will not be easily said.

Even so, it also gave Feng Xiaobao a lesson in common sense of bows and arrows, and he didn't know anything before.

He retired for convenience (Kang Caien went to check the caravan camp first, and Xuanqing also left early), Guo Luquan snorted slightly: "Why do you tell him so much?" ”

"This son, I don't know where he is ...... sacred" Tang Zhiyu changed the topic and said: "Have you ever seen Kang Caien do a loss-making business?" ”

"Nope!" Guo Luquan admitted.

"Isn't that it?" Tang Zhiyu said: "Kang Caien is so polite to him, I naturally can't be rude!" ”
