Chapter Seventy-Nine: Rushing to Ningjiang Prefecture to Study Time
Judging from the map, the road taken by Hakata should pass through the later generations of Fangzheng, Yanshou, Shangzhi, Wuchang, and Elm, and arrive at the destination Buyeo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Head southwest. On the map, it is basically at 45 degrees north latitude. This area has a gentle terrain, abundant sunlight, a large temperature difference between day and night, and a well-developed water system, which is the main production area of high-quality Northeast rice in later generations.
Under the snow, it must be fertile black soil. Yu Gen looked around, but only saw snow, and the sun shone so that people didn't dare to open their eyes. I remember that there seemed to be a pair of sunglasses in the car, such a bullish prop, but I forgot to bring it out.
The end is a vast land and sparsely populated.
In later generations, Harbin had a population of more than 10 million. The population of Heilongjiang Province should be more than 40 million. At this time, in Heilongjiang, the population can be 400,000? The population of Huligai should be around 50,000. The Jurchen population is estimated to be no more than 100,000, the size of a township in later generations.
Even in later generations, Heilongjiang's per capita cultivated land area is still the first in the country. At this time, the per capita cultivated land area should be in the order of 1,000 mu, right? If someone cultivates.
After walking all day, Yu Gen found no traces of no cultivation. It seems that at this time, the Jurchens' farming was limited to the area around Alchuka.
Instead, I passed by two small villages, both of which were scattered small tribes of the Jurchens. It is said that this place is within more than 200 kilometers of Alchuka, but it is really primitive, and the language is not very useful. Well, it's still much stronger than Ru Mao's blood drinking.
Of course, there is no restaurant to cut a few catties of beef, and there is no inn to clean a few upper rooms.
There is no soybean sorghum all over the mountains, but there are primeval forests all over the mountains. Any larch is hugged by three or five people, and the canopy is more than ten meters or even dozens of meters.
In the evening, the team turned back to the banks of the Songhua River, from which a tributary from the southwest flowed into the Songhua River. According to Hakata, the river is called the Snake River, which means "elbow" because its main stream is curved like an elbow. Yu Gen checked the map, okay, it will be called Ant River in later generations, anyway, it is a transliteration.
If it weren't for the river's auxiliary positioning, Yu Gen wondered if this was Hakata's usual trade route. It is not far from Fangzheng County, to which Harbin belongs. Of course, the location of Fangzheng County on the map does not even have a village.
Fortunately, Hakata is experienced and can find a suitable col to set up camp. During the daytime march, Ruku also sent one or two squadrons out to hunt at any time. The squadrons were in a competitive mood, but they were all in order, and small prey such as roe deer and pheasants were piled up into small hills.
This is the welfare of a vast land and a sparsely populated area. A team of three or four hundred people can carry a little dry food and horse feed. Of course, there is no shortage of firewood in the forest. Abukakhh doesn't have to worry about these things.
Wo Xuan was very excited, but this time there were no signs of a cold. For this child of this age, not staying at home is happiness, and Wo Wei is not exempt from vulgarity.
Originally, Yu Gen also planned to send someone to send Wo Xuan, Su Duli and others back to the pen slave, but Wo Xuan resolutely refused. Su Duli and the others did not dare to disobey the master, but they resolutely upheld the authority of the senior sister.
Yu Gen had no choice but to give up. Ningjiang Prefecture is not safe or something, and it is not easy to say. It's also an excuse – how can it not be safe to stay with Abukaheh?
Su Duli and other small shamans also took a climbing plow in the afternoon. At this time, they gathered around the campfire, chattering and chattering, and there was no fatigue of the journey at all.
Slanted Bao also blended into this small circle. In addition to having a deep view of the separation, the oblique protection is still very lively, and there is no rebellion of the children of the powerful. Of course, even if there is, it has to be put away. Only Master and Senior Sister are recognized here. Xianbao can really bow down in front of the senior sister and do a small way to please.
Needless to say, Wo Xuan has already covered this little brother, although this little brother's attitude towards separation is a little worse. Let's talk to him later, it's still very good to be separated from this person, and the handiwork is good.
At dinner, Wo Xuan taught Su Duli and the others the lessons that the master had recently imparted. It is mainly a few one-dimensional equations, which Su Duli and others quickly comprehended. Xianbao is like listening to the book of heaven - what is the senior sister talking about? Do the senior brothers really understand?
There are no obstacles to the following program. Wo Xuan took out "Journey to the West" and read it to his junior disciples, and Xianbao was even more dumbfounded-how could a monkey burst out of the stone?
In order to take care of the newcomer, Wo Xuan started from the first time. Wendy had already heard the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but she didn't care about it, and it seemed to be interesting to listen to it again. Yu Gen is also relishing, the pheasant is roasted to the outside and tender inside, and the heat is just right.
The camp was encamped at the foot of the leeward hill. The climbing plough was erected, tied to each other, and the wall was easily erected. I can't help but sigh again at Abukaheh's miraculous creation—this thing seems ordinary and even stupid, but it is so wonderful!
Then, I can't care about the use of the plough - it turns out that there is really another world? The mountains have mountain gods, the land has land, and there is a dragon palace in the East China Sea...... Is Abukakhh from that world?
Not only did he leave the case, but more than 300 members of all ethnic groups all gathered around unconsciously, ignoring the bonfire next to him, and listened to Wo Xuan reading. Whoever accidentally stamps his feet will definitely receive murderous eyes from his comrades - you are frozen to death!
The veteran players are already familiar with Chinese, and the new players are inevitably a little inferior. Fortunately, after reading a paragraph, Wo Xuan also explained it in Huli changed his language. Although there is no original enjoyment, the storyline alone is attractive enough. Actually, most people don't think of this as a story......
Ruku was the oldest and had the heaviest responsibilities. After arranging the sentry, Luku also consciously patrolled the perimeter. However, the sound of reading seemed to have a kind of magic that poured straight into people's ears, and Ruku accidentally walked over.
The moon is dark and the wind is not high, the sky is full of stars, and a blazing bonfire is burning in the middle of the camp. Wo Xuan's crisp voice is like fairy music, and the bonfire does not dare to beep.
It wasn't until Abukakh smiled at Ruku that Ruku rubbed his hands together embarrassedly, pulled away the crowded team members, and sat down on the climbing plow beside Abukakh. Wendy handed over a skewer of roast meat, and Ruku caught it, but forgot to eat it......
This is the great tension of culture! Yu Gen suddenly had a big brain-how about printing this book and selling it to the Great Song Dynasty? Selling pants and towels is always low-level, selling culture and ideology is profiteering, and there are other gains, such as spreading universal values or something.
The author of "Journey to the West" is naturally Wo Xuan. However, there are too many conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism in the book, and all kinds of background knowledge, where did Wo Xuan come from? A little girl from an extremely distant land in the ice and snow, born to know?
Well, there were humans there for a long time too. When King Wu of Zhou was recorded in history, the people of Su Shen paid tribute to the "Zhu Ya Stone Stone".
Yu Gensheng was a leader in later generations, and now he is a god on the border, and he has always looked up to the bulls of the Song Dynasty. For example, Sima Guang, who will smash the cylinder when he is young, Su Dongpo, who has fans all over Southeast Asia, and Wang Anshi, who only eats the dish in front of him...... Are these people so foolish?
Now these big cows are dead. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, what Yu Gen could remember was Zhang Zeduan who painted "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", Zhou Bangyan who had no choice but to hide under the bed and write "Slender Hands Break New Oranges" when Huizong was fortunate to be a teacher of Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao who was "green, fat, red and thin".
These people are fine. So, what about Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang, who worshiped the prime minister four times?
Cai Jing, as the head of Jingkang's "six thieves", does not only know about corruption and power. His poetry and prose are outstanding, and his calligraphy is even among the four masters of "Su Huang Mi Cai".
There is also a more famous Gao Yu Gao Taiwei. It has been rumored for thousands of years that Gao Taiwei raised a good son, but who knew that Gao Yu was actually born as a scholar of Su Shi?
None of the "six thieves" are good, and none of them are so easy to deal with. When he arrived in Bianliang, Yu Gen wanted to do something, but he had to fall on the "six thieves......
The long, monotonous march suddenly became lively. The members of the Abukakh Guards, including Uncle Ruku, had been looking forward to the camp dinner since early in the morning, because there was extra time to read after dinner.
As the soul focus of reading time, Wo Xuan is also refreshed, subdued, colorful, and happy. Only then did Yu Gen discover that the senior sister not only learned well, but also taught well, and was actually a genius storyteller.
On the fifth day, Wo Xuan's throat finally became a little unbearable. Wushu took the task as he could, pressed and excited, and interpreted it carefully. It's a little slower, but it's loud!
The Abukakh guards dispersed quietly - the journey was too tiring, and they had to hurry tomorrow, so it was only right to take time to rest......
The vultures looked up between readings, wanting to enjoy the adoring eyes, but they turned out to be empty.
It's a bit too much to say it's empty. There are still some people left in the audience, and Su Duli and the little shamans are very face-saving to the second senior brother. It's just that the smile is a little weird. Pointing at each other, their eyes are rich.
Is there anything wrong with reading? Wushu is reading the twenty-second chapter today, and the review is "Eight Commandments vs. Quicksand River, Wooden Fork Receives Enlightenment and Purity".
Second senior brother, second senior brother? Second Senior Brother...... Wushu carefully put "Journey to the West" away, and suddenly attacked, caught Su Duli and beat him fatly......
On the morning of the 7th, Bodo reported to Abukaheh that there was still an hour to go to Ningjiang Prefecture. In front of it was a frozen river, the valley was not deep, but the woods were dense.
Ruku arranged for half of his men to hide in the woods. The other half took off their armor and disguised themselves as poor and declining tribesmen, carrying only short weapons with them. More than 100 war horses pulled the plow, led by Hakata, and went to the market in Ningjiang Prefecture to trade.
Abukakhh instructed that the purpose of the trip was to buy iron farming tools for the next year's spring ploughing.
There is a blacksmith shop in Koshiriji, but it only repairs ironware. The iron used is also scrap iron purchased and the price is very high.
Yu Gen asked if there were any vultures and separations, but there were many blacksmiths in Alchuka who could also craft exquisite armor and weapons. However, the source of iron is still acquisition. The Jurchens did not say anything about iron smelting. Although there are many iron ores in the northeast and the reserves are also very large, Yu Gen is unable to solve this problem - it is too much to let a temporary deputy county magistrate know how to mine and smelt iron......
In other words, whether it is the Jurchens, the Huli Gai people, or the Tieli people, the ultimate source of their iron tools is the Ningjiang Prefecture Yanchang, and it is under the strict control of the Khitans.
So Abukakh gave Bodo an extra command, whatever you buy, as long as it's iron.
However, Hakata can take people to do these things by buying iron tools, and there is no need for Yu Gen to make a trip himself.
Ningjiang Prefecture is a trading ground between the Great Liao and the dependent territories and countries in the Northeast. The specialties of various ethnic groups are quite abundant, which should attract merchants from all over the Great Liao to trade, right?
Therefore, Yu Gen wanted to personally learn about the trade situation of the Great Liao Kingdom for future use.
Of course, Ningjiang Prefecture is an important military town in the northeastern border of Daliao, and Yu Gen also needs to personally inspect it. Although you don't want to fight, you also need to know yourself and your opponent - without investigation, you can't have a voice!
In fact, there is another reason, even Wo Xuan may not believe what he says. Well, Wendy will believe it - Ningjiang is a big city, and it's a walk-and-go trip......
