Over the years, everything has been difficult at the beginning, at the beginning, it was difficult to start a business in Mengjin, and Qin Shaoyou had to do it himself, but now, many things have come naturally.

For example, the construction of canals, now in Luoyang and Mengjin, with the existence of Yang Wulian, the world's No. 1 contractor who has presided over countless major projects, Qin Shaoyou only needs to prepare the money in place, and he can almost be his own shopkeeper.

What's more, Yang Wulian lowered his head, after all these years, he has already cultivated a nest of apprentices and grandchildren, all of whom are good at civil engineering, these people have spread their branches, coupled with the various prosperity of the civil engineering industry over the years, I don't know how many young people have been attracted to take root in civil engineering.

For example, the specialty of Taiping on civil engineering is almost the most popular among all subjects, and many people are willing to send their children into it, so about various civil engineering, Qin Shaoyou has indeed accumulated too much experience here, and building a canal is no longer just as simple as digging a river, there are a lot of things involved here, and these don't have to worry about Qin Shaoyou anymore.

This is also the reason why Qin Shaoyou can be relaxed now, the once toddler baby has grown up, and now, it has become self-contained, and the internal operation has begun to gradually have a regularity, and there are more and more people with vested interests who consciously protect it.

Since the army is stationed here, it is natural that it cannot be idle, so simply train here.

The army of more than 100,000 people is practicing almost every day, and they are almost blind to the enemy troops in Hangu Pass, so the defenders on the pass can't help but have a little headache, because it is just dawn every day. It is the slogan of the drill that is loud and loud, and the most hateful thing is the roar of the artillery, but Qin Shaoyou pursues the policy of the Kwantung people not to fight the Guanzhong people, but the muzzle of this cannon is never aimed at the pass, except for the noise, the people on the pass do not have to worry.

The most hateful thing is that when it comes to meals, in this era, the vast majority of people can only maintain two meals in the morning and evening, so there is no such thing as lunch at all. Because of this, although the forbidden army on the city tower barely eats well, although it is impossible to kill pigs and sheep, but this rice and white flour are still available.

But they ate two meals, two meals......

At noon, smoke rises from the pass, and the countless cattle and sheep that have been transported through the canal begin to be slaughtered. The smell of meat wafted out at once, and there were bursts of strong fragrance on this level, and the smell of meat aroused the roundworms in everyone's stomach. Many of the garrisons felt they couldn't hold it anymore.

Obviously, if the early morning cannon fire and the pungent smoke of gunpowder were torture, then now ...... It is even more lethal.

Don't say that it is an ordinary pawn, even some low-level military attachés. I feel a little unbearable.

After just a few days, Zhang Jin went to find Wei Xuanzhen, and the conversation was naturally about stabilizing the morale of the army. It's just that he made a strange request: "If you want to stick to Hangu Pass, it is imperative to do everything you can to transport cattle and horses from Chang'an to cook and kill, otherwise in the long run, then Qin Shaoyou does not have to spend a single soldier, you can break through the pass, Mount Tai, this matter is very important, and it must not be underestimated." ”

The nation of foodies, obviously although Wei Xuanzhen is also one of them, it is difficult to understand, because Wei Xuanzhen is a good Buddha and a vegetarian, a vegetarian person, of course, feels disgusted when he smells the smell of meat, but he obviously forgets that the reason why he is a vegetarian is mostly because the Wei family is rich and rich, and he has a lot of fish and meat since he was a child, so he has an instinctive aversion to meat, but these meat fragrances are arsenic for him, but for the vast generals of the lower classes, it is nectar.

It's just that since Zhang Jin strongly requested, Wei Xuanzhen had no choice, so he had to immediately send a letter to him, and after a month or two, he really supplied a batch of cattle and horses, and Hangu Pass was really extravagant for a while, and they followed the people under the pass to cook meat happily for food, three meals a day, just ...... I couldn't hold on for a few days, and then I went back to the way I was.

300,000 mouths, eat like this, even if you sell all the Wei family, I'm afraid you won't be able to turn cattle and horses, in order to collect these cattle and horses, Wei Shi has not ordered the people to be exploited, but he can't stand such a toss.

After all, there are special channels for the import of cattle and horses in the Kanto, and these channels are very cheap, not only that, in some places in Shuofang, many businessmen have begun to raise cattle and horses on a large scale, to a certain extent, animal husbandry in the Kanto region also has a little industrial scale, there is a relatively stable supply, although to feed so many troops, the lock fee is amazing, but it can't stand Qin Shaoyou has money. But what about Guanzhong, the cattle and horses in Guanzhong eat one less head, and if they eat one, they will have one less animal power, which is sitting on the empty mountain, no matter how ugly it is, even if they can trade with the Turks, but unlike Qin Shaoyou's monopoly trade in tea and ironware, at least ...... The price that needs to be paid in Guanzhong must be amazing, the hard-earned brute, this is not enough, it will be gnawed by your 300,000 foodies and there is not even a bone residue left, this ...... Unless Merriam-Webster is crazy.

At the beginning, Wei was willing to supply cattle and horses, because the world was begging for Wei, and Hangu Pass had reached a crucial point, not to mention that Wei thought that Qin Shaoyou would immediately attack Hangu Pass, and the war was about to break out.

But who would have thought that this war would be consumed like this, and once it was consumed, it was months of effort, in these months, there was no movement at all in the Shence army and the five military camps under the pass, it is said that Qin Shaoyou often took people to hunt, although the sound of the cannon rumbled, it actually did not hit the pass.

Webster's ability to afford the army to eat meat for a month does not mean that she can supply people for a year and a half, so naturally, two meals a day has become the norm, and of course there will still be minced meat, but unfortunately, for those defenders who have big fish and meat for a while, this seems to be a more uncomfortable thing.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Since the Wei army under the pass did not attack, the people on the pass did not dare to cause trouble, and even in the moat river outside the Hangu Pass, there were actually officers and soldiers of the Wei army who went to carry water to bathe after the exercise.

You know, this is already within the range of the bow and arrow in Hangu Pass. But the defenders at the pass were nervous for a while, and finally they didn't see anything at all.

Just kidding, now everyone can barely maintain this balance of power, everyone still has a few days to live, if you shoot arrows, of course, you will kill a few Wei soldiers, but then, not to mention that you provoke others to attack the pass directly, just say that the gun port during the drill is directly turned to Hangu Pass, and the bombardment is carried out in turns every day. The losses of the defenders on the Hangu Pass would also be ten times and a hundred times that of the Wei army under the pass.

Since the other party is not hostile for the time being, then the best option is to pretend to be an ostrich and consume it like this.

Sometimes at night, there are bursts of singing under the pass, most of them are a group of people around the bonfire, the day is too tired to practice, and the life in the army is boring, all kinds of operas and songs in Luoyang City have already emerged, and because more and more ordinary people are fed and clothed. began to have a certain amount of surplus money, which led to the fact that opera was no longer only for those princes and nobles as listeners, so many operas were intended to attract the general public. is more rugged, and the rhythm of the crepe has been washed away, but it is mostly straightforward and simple.

This kind of song is often characterized by a wide audience and seems to be straightforward. But it is more favored by most people.

The culture of opera has also begun to be introduced into the army, at night. First someone roared a few voices, and then everyone coaxed, they sang loudly together, more and more people gathered to sing, and the military attaches generally did not restrain them, after all, everyone knows that everyone is usually nervous and hard, and what can be relaxed is only this short hour or two, the defenders on the pass gradually adapted, it turned out that those Wei troops under the city, as long as they reached a certain hour, they would probably have to sing loudly, and because many people sang together, even the pass could be heard clearly, slowly, everyone was familiar with this melody, The defenders on duty at night would actually shout a few times.

At the beginning, the defenders will still restrain it, this is a song sung by the thief army, if you sing such songs, won't you rebel, but later, no one is too lazy to pay attention to it, because this matter has been banned repeatedly, and there is no forbidden content in that song, neither slandering the Holy Monarch, nor entertaining Queen Wei, most of them are some lyrics and songs that miss their hometown.

So, at a certain hour, the sky was dark, the smell of meat finally dispersed, the defenders on duty hiccuped, of course, there was no meat in this burp, I was very sorry, but the traditional project was about to start, and then the voice came out under the pass, and the people on the pass understood as soon as they heard it, what was sung today turned out to be "Out of the Stopper", instinctively, he could almost recite these lyrics, probably a foreign invasion, to protect the family and defend the country, the men packed up and left their hometowns, and the fathers and elders were reluctant, The story of wives and children looking forward to each other, this story, Guanzhong people also love to sing, so close the door and close a roar, singing is over, unfinished, not in a hurry, the old driver is very experienced, after half a pillar of incense, it is the next song, today's first song is out of the customs stopper, this second song, most of them are "Daughter Marry", this song is more tactful, the tune is long, don't let the people of the Shence Army sing, these people are crazy, and Mengjin people have the most, Mengjin people's accent, weird, there is always a weird emphasis, sing with them, Nine times out of ten, they will lead them astray.

Sure enough, the strange accent unique to the Mengjin people sounded, and no one responded to the closed people, and suddenly looked at the moonlight, the moon was a little miserable, bleak and cold, and it was a tortured night, it was better to train the artillery under the city, at least it could be heard.

I have to say that the opera and songs of the Kanto, because of the simple tune and simple lyrics, are extremely attractive to the defenders on the pass, although people like Wei Xuanzhen scoffed, but those who couldn't stand listening to the songs in these years were Xiaobai, and the defenders on the pass had begun to forget the war in front of them at this time.

Life here is actually very good, although uprooted, once frightened, but now, everyone found that in fact, the enemy under the city is not fierce, and even some love, the defenders in the pass summed up a lot of impressions, such as they have meat to eat every day, they are babbling as soon as they arrive in the daytime, shouting all kinds of passwords during the drill, the cannon rumbles, it seems to be very hard, but ...... It doesn't seem too bad, and the songs they sing are very interesting, and almost every once in a while, a new song comes out, this new song...... At first, it was weird when I listened to it, but I slowly accepted it, and I found it very good, and when I sang it, it was also enjoyable.

Overall, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to be a thief army, of course, everyone is only thinking about this at most, but no one dares to do this, sometimes the Wei army under the city will come to the river to protect the pass to carry water, and occasionally say hello to the people on the pass, the people on the pass will shout, scolding them to go quickly, and then a posture to prepare to bend the bow and shoot arrows, and the people under the pass are not afraid, slowly lift the water, some people actually wash up, then they are satisfied to leave, and when they leave, the people on the pass will shoot a few arrows downThe military attachés shouted a few times, and then reported the news an hour later, saying that there were thieves attacking and disturbing, and the defenders were brave, shooting arrows to fight back, and the thieves were afraid and fled in the wilderness.

At the beginning, Wei Xuanzhen and Zhang Jin really believed these nonsense, but his mother had such news every day, and they didn't see a thief army shot to death, so they came back to their senses. It's just that at this time, they are not bold enough to kill chickens and monkeys, because the people below are doing this, and now it has been peaceful for a few days, if they have to make a little trouble, who knows if there will be a mutiny in the army.

In the end, I had to turn a blind eye and simply pretend to believe it.

Now...... Spring to winter, the weather has become colder and colder, every morning, the wall of the pass will be formed with layers of thin ice, a few days ago, it rained a cold rain, so that the eaves of the city tower set up a piece of ice, every three or five will fall down with a click.

This year's winter seems to be a little colder than usual.
