The news that Ziche Yanxi was ordered to come to the Qing clan to seal the land made the Ji clan keep a low profile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

also let the Qing clan's fiefdom, which has not been in contact with the outside world in recent months, get new external news, and the path opened up by Lian Po has temporarily become the maintenance of the Qing clan's contact with the outside world.

The autumn harvest season was supposed to be the time when grain prices were the lowest, but as the news spread that Shangqing Yun Shuyu had gone to Northern Xinjiang to preside over the war, the price of grain in Beilin City rose sharply in less than a day.

After all, the war in northern Xinjiang has a long-term tendency, and in addition, it is difficult to cultivate saline-alkali land in many countries in the northern wilderness, so it is lucky that there is no famine every year, and there is no surplus strategic grain reserves.

As a result, the slightest disturbance in food prices will cause the price of food to fluctuate.

Even if Qingyang stays in the enclosed soil every day, he also knows that the price of grain outside is actually one percent higher than when there is no green and yellow in spring and summer.

However, it was the landless civilians and civilians in the city who had a hard time, and the lords who owned large tracts of fiefdom made a small profit to make up for some of the losses caused by the war.

However, soon the monarch ordered: in order to maintain the war in northern Xinjiang and the stability of the country, it is not allowed to raise prices.

For this reason, the lord of Beilin City, Dr. Cheng Yuzhong, ordered to kill two sergeants who thought they had a deep background and wantonly violated the law, which stabilized the situation and even won the praise of the monarch.

In this way, the topic of Dr. Cheng Cheng and Beilin City, who was decisive, was constantly talked about by the young people who sealed the land, and Qingyang also learned more about the external situation one after another.

Beilin City is three hundred and eighty miles east of the north of the Qing clan's fiefdom, the last time Zhong Rui's four teenagers went to buy salt, there is a salt mine belonging to Cheng Dafu in the mountains and forests near Beilin City, and Lian Po has also followed Zhong Bo to go a few times.

Speaking of the things outside the sealed soil, the teenagers who had been bored for a long time in the sealed soil seemed very excited, and they were competing for me to say some strange things.

There are wild settlements along the way, and they actually worship a big willow tree that has been struck by thunder as a guardian deity, and some simply worship a blood-sucking stone as a god, and even heard that there are powerful beasts in the depths of the wilderness as the guardian totem of the settlement.

As a native of Xingguo, coupled with the fact that the young people thought they were already noble retainers, they had a lot of contempt for those wild people who worshipped heretical totems.

I don't know where the teenagers, who are used to living a poor life, get so much pride to despise others.

Of course, the most talked about among the teenagers is the prosperity and wealth of Beilin City.

As a large city within more than 1,000 miles in northern Xinjiang, it occupies more than 10 miles in a circle and has a population of more than 100,000 people! What a bustling city!

Hearing these uninformed words, Qingyang wanted to tell them that he had seen many cities, one with a population of tens of millions, or even tens of millions.

Less than 100,000 people can only be called a small town, but think about it, at this time, the entire population of Xingguo does not know if there are 10 million, and the Xianyu tribe is said to have a population of less than one million, but the land is 30,000 miles longitudinal, so desolate and barbaric are not much different.

After carefully learning about the war between the Xing Kingdom and the Xianyu tribe for more than ten years, Qingyang made a decision that he wanted to learn to ride a horse in the shortest possible time, and he must be proficient in riding.

The Northern Wilderness is hundreds of thousands of miles vast and incomparably vast, and the land is extremely sparsely populated, even in the relatively densely populated Xingguo in the Northern Wilderness, there are large areas of wilderness full of powerful beasts, and in such a vast and desolate land, the army with strong mobility has more chances to survive.

There is another reason not to tell others, that is, to learn to ride a horse and run away faster in the event of a bad battle, of course, this must not be said to others.

Lian Po brought a five-year-old pony with dark red body hair, and said happily: "Lord, if you want to learn riding, it is best to start training from a pony, but unfortunately most of our horses are too ordinary, only this pony is a little cub born three years ago on Zhong Bo's mount, and it can still be eyed!" ”

"This horse is not bad, it is only over three years old, and it is so big!"

Even a layman can tell that this is a good horse, and the pony's eyes are full of intelligence, and the size alone is amazing enough.

At only three years old, the horse's back has reached the height of his head, and this horse can continue to grow for two years, and it is really majestic and majestic when it becomes an adult.

"Huh? What about the saddle and stirrups? ”

After turning around, he found that Lian Po was not equipped with any riding equipment, which made Qingyang a little unhappy, "The horse is very good, but how can you ride without a saddle?" How to fight without stirrup cavalry! ”

In response to the lord's questioning, Lian Po was very innocent: "My lord... What is a saddle?" Stirrup? ”

Qingyang: "・・・・・・" Nima, I'm so stupid.

I never thought that there was really no saddle in this era, and when Zi Che Yanxi came to visit yesterday, he cared about the war in the north and ignored this matter, how could a hundred cavalry be born without a saddle stirrup.

Lian Po heard Qingyang's explanation and continued to mend the sword: "My lord, although the king can't help the lord to have cavalry, he stipulates that all good horses must be sacrificed to make up for the lack of the Su Guard Army and the cavalry of the three divisions, even if we form a cavalry, there are no good horses!" ”

The enthusiasm for inventing the saddle and stirrup, and building a strong cavalry corps was suddenly extinguished by a bucket of ice water.

No wonder the monarch of Xing Guo was not afraid of the rebellion of the vassals below, the king of a country grasped all the most elite cavalry forces of the country in his hands, not to mention, and made the vassals unable to form a fast and mobile cavalry.

After all, cavalry needs a huge number, and the number of private troops of the lord of the lord strictly limits the advantage of cavalry.

Qingyang clearly remembered that the "Land Sealing Order" stipulated that only the doctor was qualified to have three soldiers and seventy-two soldiers, which means that the total private army owned by the doctor was only seventy-five, and the doctor who served as the lord of the city could only have twenty soldiers and three hundred soldiers, a total of 320 private soldiers.

Although many doctors have quietly concealed some of their private soldiers in the enclosure, this number will definitely not exceed one-third of the data on the surface.

What's more, the Su Guard Army and the Third Division have a total of 35,000 people, so it seems that while Xing Guo attaches great importance to force, it also has a fairly strict control over the vassals' arms, of course, this strictness refers to the vassals above the rank of Doctor.

Originally, I wanted to honestly practice riding skills first and lay the foundation! Cavalry is not qualified for the time being, but it is always a bad thing to learn to ride a horse first.

Who knew that the strength was not enough, the pony in front of him didn't look down on the new owner at all, and he neighed and jumped a few times, and then threw Qingyang off the horse.

"Hehe, the temper is not small? Put it in a separate stable first, I still don't believe you can't tame it? Qingyang looked at the pony fiercely.

This kind of fierce horse, first locked up and starved for a few days, and then lured with fried fragrant grass seeds, it will not take many days to train and obey.

The lord's dark and sinister eyes made the dark red pony, who had never seen the sinister heart of people, suddenly tremble, so terrifying.

・・・・・・

Since the end of the autumn harvest, all the lords and slaves of the Qing clan have been in a cheerful mood, and the grain stacks in the grain field have been crushed by more than 30% at this time.

The farmers and slaves were rewarded with a lot of grain during this time, and their work became more energetic.

What made the lords even more excited was that the lord announced that the lords could each enclose a small animal pen on the fiefdom wasteland and domesticate some poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep, and deer.

Not only are they allowed to go to the fields to harvest weeds according to regulations, but they even buy these poultry and livestock with grain or cloth.

Although the purchase price is only less than half of the market price in Beilin City, it is really happy for farmers and slaves to pick it up for nothing.

In addition to the farmers, the children are the happiest recently, especially after the end of the farming season.

Not only did they not have to help their families after farming, but they also had a fun toy, the giant tortoise.

Somehow, Lian Cang's baby actually fell in love with the giant tortoise, and took a large group of dolls between the ages of five and seven or eight all day long, riding on the back of the tortoise and playing in the stream.

Seeing that tortoise carrying a large group of children, and actually looking proud, this combination really feels a bit strange!

Since tortoises don't hurt people, let them go, there's nothing to waste anyway.

As he was concentrating, he heard Lian Po shouting: "Lord, lord, it's done!" ”
