Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beginning of a Monumental Project
Burhan was dragged by his grandmother to his yurt and chatted all night, and of course Monlik and Zaturo would accompany him! Especially Zaduro, he was willing to stop after making sure that Burhan didn't bring anything delicious when he came back, but he became interested in the beautiful scenery and things of Ningxia Town, and he couldn't get enough of listening to Burhan's talk and said, "Brother can't talk about it, one day I will go and see it myself and buy a lot of delicious food." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Of course, this declaration was taught another lesson by Grandma, who thought that she would never want to leave her before the children were adults.
Zaduro had been muttering all night that Burkand didn't bring anything good to eat, and Burhan could only apologize and say that Zaturo would be prioritized next time. He took out his rucksack and took out a thick stack of things sealed with brown paper, and Zaduro thought it was a gourmet snack, so he bravely stepped forward to tear it open and take a look, and was disappointed again. These things were found by Burhan at the street stalls in Ningxia Mansion, and they were all books, and Burhan still remembers that there were a few Han books in the booty when his father brought back the army, but his mother was very happy. This time, if I am lucky enough to go to the place of the Han people, of course, I have to bring some back to my grandma! Mother is also very excited after reading it, she likes to read the most, due to the limited conditions, her current few have long been dilapidated, fortunately in Burhan found a new one for her, Monlik is also a book lover, and the same as Grandma, those master's books are probably not as good as their own storage, seeing that Brother also prepared a very happy for himself, only Zaduro pouted, he didn't like to read, Burhan could only comfort him, and advanced in advance the next Alimu caravan to come back Maren candy to be finished.
For a few days, the Hechi Tibu was silent in joy. Because the young master brought the most important material of the moment to the tribe - food! In the words of Uliji: What a timely rain! The tribe's food stocks have run out, and even the dried sausage has bottomed out, and if Burhan returns a few days later, I am afraid that he will have to start slaughtering livestock to survive. Fortunately, Burhan purchased 100,000 stone of grain in time, which was enough for 50,000 or 60,000 people to have a year's ration. Now that the food has arrived, the next step is to start this great project, and it is also time to take a good look at the uninteresting Ding Lingren.
Early the next morning, when Burhan got up, Grandma had already prepared breakfast, and after eating it hastily, she pulled Zaduro away. It had been a long time since Burhan had been on the other side of the country, and after asking about Zaturo's situation, he walked towards the tribal tent. After entering the tent, Burhan saw his father, who was still drunk, and gently shook him awake.
"Ahh It's Burhan! Coming so early? "My father straightened his dirty hair, and it was clear that it was a matter of awkwardness that no one was waiting for him.
"Abba! Go home and sleep! Grandma wouldn't mind. By the way, the food is already in place, and I want to take advantage of the thawing of the land to start building roads, you see...? Alett scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Hmm! Abba slept in a big tent because he was busy with official business, but he couldn't leave home, so I'll go back. As for the matter of building the road, since you proposed it, then you will preside over it! After speaking, he swayed home with the futon in his arm.
βyesοΌβ Burhan's fists sank, obviously very pleased with Alert's decentralization, and at the same time, his sly eyes revealed a cold light.
After receiving his father's carte blanche to act, Burhan immediately took action. First, he gathered the Chinath and escorted the slaves to a low-lying area, and Burhan made a visual inspection, and the lowest point may be more than 20 meters! It was a suitable place to gather so many slaves, and in the end, Uligi gave Burhan a statistic that there were 10,897 slaves who met the scope of labor, including those who could still work. Alat gave the task of building the road to Burhan, who knew nothing but some knowledge of the present world, only the general direction! If it were someone else, it might really be a headless fly.
"Don't even make a noise, shut up!" Burhan was not loud enough, so he picked up an iron horn he had made the night before and used it as a megaphone to give orders. Sure enough, it was still very effective, and the noisy crowd began to calm down, and looked at this noble man of the Hechi Ti Department seriously to see what arrangements he had. There are also people in the crowd who understand, looking around at the terrain around them, is it possible that the Hechiti tribe is going to kill them? The group began to weave through the crowd to avoid being the first to be shot by bows and arrows, and some began to tremble and cry, but they rationally chose to remain silent.
The big horn is a bit heavy, and I told Feng Ji to make a thin one, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy. "Well, no matter what you think, I'll just tell you one thing, and that's me! ... I am the leader of the Hechiti tribe, Alet. Burhan, the son of Baur, now... You're all under my control. "Helpless, Burhan can only say that he will rest for a while, and it is not bad to have a big horn in the era when there are no speakers, otherwise it will be like the four lung-splitting roars of the day when China Sixun said, and not many people really have to listen to it. There are still repercussions in the crowd, and people who can know can talk about who this high-ranking person is? It's just that everyone doesn't know what the temperament of this master is, and what his intentions are?
"I don't have time for your mushrooms, so I simply said that I don't care if I don't hear it." The crowd calmed down again, and people with hearts began to listen carefully, maybe this would be a good opportunity for them to get out of the country, judging from the previous style of doing things in the Hechi Ti Department, they would not kill the slaves, if they wanted to kill them, they could only wait for death, whether it was a blessing or a curse, they could only pray for the blessing of immortality!
"I'll tell you the good news, from today onwards, you will officially join the Hechiti Ministry." Hula, the crowd seemed to explode, what does it mean to join the Hechiti Division? This means that you have to join the most powerful and wealthy tribe in the whole Hetao Mongolia, and you will no longer have to worry about food, and you will no longer have to worry about being sold into slavery. Joining the Hechi Ti Department is the guarantee of life! The excitement of the people was about to burst through their bodies, but Burhan's words darkened their eyes again.
"However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and your status is still that of a slave!" "But! As long as you do your job well, then you will have the possibility of getting rid of slavery, and there will be women and livestock. If there is a disobedient, lazy, and deliberately troublemaker, my Burhan scimitar is also sharpened, and anyone who wants to try it can come. "Killing is the most direct solution to the problem in the world, but it is not the best, nor is it the most troublesome, it can only be said to be impulsive and deterrent! And Burhan's blade was only aimed at those Ding Ling people this time.
"There is also bad news for you, since the Hechiti tribe does not have much to earn a living and needs so many slaves, and you are our property and cannot be wasted, the tribe has decided to ask you to build a road, a road like Dalaqin. As soon as the road is completed, I promise that most of you will become the true tribesmen of the Hechiti tribe, free people, not slaves. Burhan made it clear that the crowd in the low-lying area was noisy again, and suddenly someone jumped out and shouted, "Don't believe them, the Hechiti tribe is the most insidious and more vicious than the jackals." They want us to build roads because they consume too much food in winter, and the more we die, the more food they have to feed their tribe, and we have to resist even to death. This guy said it righteously, and after speaking, he ran into the crowd. For such a speculative careerist Burhan never relented, as soon as he waved his hand, the Chinasi on the hill fired arrows in the direction of that person, and suddenly all the dozens of people around him were shot down, and the crowd instinctively retreated, maybe no one would respond to his words when he died--classmate, your mind is too developed. Most of the people who were shot did not die, and at this moment the spearmen entered the scene and stabbed them all to death, and the scene that even Bourhan, who had not eaten breakfast, felt too cruel and turned his head, and some of the little ones watching from the side had begun to vomit.
"Useless things, don't get down and get the whip yourself." Zaduro looked at the vomiting man and scolded angrily, he raised his head and looked at the eldest brother, his face seemed to be a little pale!
"Big brother, what's wrong with you. Are you sick, do you want Mr. Song to come and see you? β
"No, big brother is fine. When they are done, they will be responsible for escorting them away. β
Burhan watched the spearmen pick a person to death, and then pierced them into the spear and stuck them in the soil, just like that, a hundred and ten catties of flesh hung on the spear, the bleeding arms swayed in the wind, and many people still had blood-red eyes covered with bloodshot cheeks, and their eyes looked blankly into the distance... They are very violent when they look at each other, and they are like a human forest, which is eerie and terrifying! The environment can really change people, and the good babies in the world don't even dare to kill chickens, but now a gesture can decide the life and death of nearly 100 people.
"To be a slave is to have the duty to be a slave. Does anyone have any objections? If not, let's go tomorrow! "Burhan really didn't want to stay any longer, if the murder scene made Burhan reach the limit, then those Chinath vomit is the key to breaking the limit, and it is necessary to give it to Zaduro, because he wants to find a secluded place to vomit at the moment.
The deterrent effect of the trick of killing chickens and monkeys can last for a long time, and the slaves are working hard these days, but the plan cannot keep up with the change. The road from Zinihu to Jilantai is a semi-desert grassland, not even counting the Gobi, there are not enough stones and sand to build the road, and the ordinary rammed road is not liked by Burhan. Not only because of the time and effort, but also because the road is muddy when it rains, it is really not a high-speed and convenient road. Burhan likes German-style one-time investment: it is said that Germany's highways are expected to be constructed for 6 years, 8 years for actual construction, 30 years for actual use, and 50 years for actual use, while China is expected to be constructed for 6 years, 2 years for actual construction, 30 years for actual use, 10 years for actual use, and then a reconstruction and expansion will be done. I don't know if this is true, Burhan has not verified it, but it also confirms from the side that China's investment and income in this area have a huge interest relationship, and there are big projects in China every year, and there are also tofu dregs every year. Burhan doesn't like this, he prefers the construction of Qin Chi Road and Straight Road that his grandmother talked about, the traces of the past two thousand years are still clear, and some are still contributing.
The construction of a lime road is the ideal of Burhan, the work has already begun, the lime craftsmen are already in place, and the lack of stone is the biggest trouble! In order to find the stone, the engineering team had to arrive at the foot of Helan Mountain, and in order to save costs, it was necessary to build a direct road from Helan Mountain to Jilantai. Anyway, the Ming court didn't have a large-scale cavalry, so why not go straight to the mountain pass?
