"General, why don't you give the order for us to do it, Gerigletu is already wounded, they are still people and women, we can kill them."

"Do you think that if Gzhigradu is injured, we will be able to kill him?" That day Chi reprimanded.

"General, such a good opportunity was given away in vain, I am unwilling!"

"You are unwilling, how can I be willing, I originally thought that they and Haramu and others could fight a lose-lose situation, and we could easily clean up the mess, but what I didn't expect was that Haramu's idiot actually lost so badly!"

"Yes, my subordinates didn't expect it!"

"Nagzhigradu, no, Meng Yan's strength still exists, in terms of troops, we don't have a special advantage, and this is in the territory of Daming, once we meet their patrol horse camp, we don't have any chance of winning." Na Richi explained.

"But General, if you miss this opportunity, when they enter Datong City, we won't have a chance!"

"Don't you know that when I fled back to the grassland from the capital of Daming, what a wolf bèi was!" Thinking of that scene, I almost crushed my teeth with hatred that day.

"General, what now, Mingren will definitely send troops to protect his safety now, will we still follow?"

"Follow, don't forget what we're here for!"

"Yes!"

After resting all night, Meng Yan's complexion improved a lot.

Although the Acropolis was a military camp, there were also a small number of civilians, so Guo Xiaochao and others bought seven or eight carriages for the injured brothers to sit on and suffer less.

In yesterday's battle, the Chincha Guards lost seventeen men killed and twenty-six wounded, which is almost half of the people who were wounded.

This can be regarded as a nerve-wracking operation.

And the brothers who died in the war were cremated. The ashes were packed up and brought back for burial when they returned to Beijing.

said that he would not let Meng Yan ride his horse on the road, but he couldn't resist the kindness of everyone, so Meng Yan had to get into the carriage.

Guo Yue also followed him in the car to accompany him.

Xu Gui transferred a team of 100 people from the horse camp to escort Meng Yan and his party to Datong to deal with those Warat people. Xu Gui was also not at ease.

If something happens to this, he will also be responsible, not to mention that Meng Yan and him are in the same boat.

The leader of the team is a hundred households in their thirties, surnamed Dong, with a fierce atmosphere, and at a glance he knows that he is a brave general.

Probably Xu Gui has explained, this Dong Baihu is very polite to Meng Yan and others.

Out of the left acropolis, all the way to the east, it is quite safe at this time. The Tatars rarely come out to loot during this season.

Even the people here have long since moved away because of the harassment of the Tatars, and this great land has been deserted, and it is all overgrown with knee-high grass!

What a good land, how many people could be fed if it were planted with food, if it were not for the constant harassment of the border by the Tatars. Looting in the south, how could this cultivated land be wasted. What about being a wasteland?

"Lord Meng, there is Gaoshan Fort in front, there are our people patrolling over there, and a team is stationed all year round, we can go there to rest at noon."

"I want to, listen to Master Dong." Meng Yan Road.

Alpine Fort. The place where the key points outside the mouth are located is the northwest Pinghu of Datong Town, where a military fort is set up, and once the Tatar cavalry invades, the town can be notified in time. Let the rear prepare for battle in time to achieve the role of early warning and containment of the enemy.

Because of the difficulty in transporting military rations, Gaoshan Fort implemented a policy of self-sufficiency, and a small team was stationed here, serving as soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time!

"What a crop!" Meng Yan got down from the carriage and saw a patch of green wheat in front of him, which was growing happily, and said very happily.

"Lord Meng, these are all opened up by the brothers in the castle."

"Hmm!"

"Lord Dong, Lord Dong......" A man in his forties, wearing a big red fat jacket and pants, leather armor, and this red silk scarf around his neck, his hair tied back at the back of his head, and his beard was shouting while running!

"It's the old king, the guardian of the high mountain fort."

"Master Dong, don't say a word when you come, my old Wang should be ready?" The king guarded the way that he was very familiar with.

"Lao Wang, come, I've seen Lord Meng, the envoy of the Qin Mission."

Wang Shouyu was stunned for a moment, but he had also seen the market, this Dong Baihu was Xu Shuai's personal soldiers, and he had to solemnly introduce the people, how could he dare to slack off as a small guard.

"Mark the mountain fort to guard the royal king, and knock to see Lord Qincha!"

"Please, Wang Shouyu, did you open up all these fertile fields yourself?" Meng Yan asked.

"Most of them, and some of them are nearby mountain people, who have carved it out with us."

"Yes, Wang Shouyu, there's a river over there, right?"

"Lord Qincha has good eyesight, that's the Ten Mile River." Wang Shouyu slapped Meng Yan on the back.

"Wang Shouyu, is it hot here in summer?"

"It's okay, it's hot for a few months, but it's not so hot as long as you hide in the fort."

"Oh, what do you grow here besides wheat?"

"Sorghum!"

"Haven't tried to grow rice?"

"Rice, it's all grown in the south, and we can't grow it here." Wang Shouyu felt a little that this Lord Qincha was too young, and this kind of out-of-tune thinking was too whimsical.

"Oh, that's right." Meng Yan did not refute, he knew that rice does not necessarily have to be planted in the south, as long as there is a water source for irrigation, where the sun is good, rice can be grown.

However, not all varieties of rice can be transplanted to the north, and seed selection is the key.

Corn and sweet potatoes can also be grown in the north, but these two things do not seem to have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty.

When he had already entrusted his old father-in-law to go to the south when he was drunk, he inquired by the way, if there were seeds, even if it was a lot of money, he would have to buy some and try to plant them!

"Wang Shouyu, how much do you produce per mu of wheat?"

"When it's good, you can have three stones, and when it's bad, it's about one stone." The king guards the royal road.

"Is there an average of two hundred pounds?"

"I'm afraid it's only God's favor." Wang Shouyu smiled, obviously this number was a bit high for them.

Meng Yan nodded, he knew that in the past, the yield of grain per mu was very low, and many factors restricted it.

Seed. Fertilizers, pest control, and importantly, management.

If that is not done in place, it is almost unrealistic to want high grain yields, not to mention that some things have happened, and the people have no way to deal with them.

For example, locust infestation. That's pretty helpless.

"Master Meng, let's go to the castle to rest."

"Okay." Meng Yan nodded, some things were in a hurry, and he was just casually understanding the situation.

Changing the status quo doesn't happen overnight.

"Master Meng, there is no good tea here, if you don't dislike it, make do with it?"

"It's okay, the official doesn't pay so much attention to it." Meng Yan took the big tea bowl with a smile. I drank it in one gulp.

With the addition of the people of that day, there are almost 300 people in this line, and the mountain fort is full.

This is hard for Wang Shouyu, this Dong Baihu they eat in the fort, that is their own people, when the time comes, you can find something above to compensate.

Qin sent Lord to eat, so it is easy to say, there is this excuse. I ask for something from above.

But Narichi and the others were the envoys of Warat, and these people ate. Who did he ask for money?

However, the hospitality should be returned, and the atmosphere of sending to the officialdom will inevitably affect the border pass.

After a whole hour, this hearty lunch was sorted out, chicken, duck and fish, although the taste was not good. You can eat cold steamed buns and drink cold water much stronger.

"Xiao Chao, after eating for a while, leave one hundred taels of silver for Wang Shouyu, which is our meal money!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes. My lord! Guo Xiaochao nodded, along the way, the rules set by Meng Yan, whether it was staying in a private inn or a post house in the imperial court, food and accommodation were given in accordance with the rules, and there was no shortage of money.

He knew very well that the imperial court opened the pavilion post for the convenience of information transmission and transfer, but some officials were extravagant, making the pavilion post unable to make ends meet, and most of the funds for the pavilion were paid by the local government.

In this way, the shortfall of the pavilion will naturally be filled by the local government, and the government cannot make money on its own, so it can only exploit the people and impose harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

"My lord, we paid for dinner, but what about those Warats?"

"Well, yes, you can't be cheap with these guys." Meng Yan nodded, "In this way, let's pay another hundred taels, which will be regarded as Master Dong's food money." ”

"Hey, our adults said that you have to pay for your meal!" Guo Xiaochao took two hundred taels of silver and walked to the front of those people in Narichi.

"What?" When the Warat people heard it, they stopped doing it, they came to the Ming Dynasty, when did they pay for dinner?

"What, it's a matter of course to give money for dinner, is it possible that you still want to eat overlord meals?" Guo Xiaochao sneered, he had long seen that this group of Warat people was uncomfortable, and he finally had the opportunity to find fault.

Hulala......

The really high-eating Wara Xiaowolf Wei all stood up, and the fire of anger in his eyes could be incinerated by Guo Xiaochao in an instant.

Seeing that the Warat people stood up, Meng Yan's subordinates Zhang Chong and Dong Baihu also stood up and looked at each other indifferently.

"Lord Guo, there are regulations in your country that all tributary missions entering your country will be borne by your country for every qiē expense along the way, in other words, as long as we enter your country, your country will be responsible for every qiē eating and drinking Lazar!" Sitting there that day, Chi Duan took a sip of his wine glass, and replied elegantly.

"You're just here to negotiate, and you're not a tributary mission at all, so you can't enjoy this treatment!"

"This general was appointed by His Royal Highness King Huai, and he came to your country to discuss the mutual opening of the horse market and the restoration of tribute, so why is it not a tributary mission?"

"We haven't agreed yet, so you are not yet, and you will only be counted when the imperial court promises to restore the horse market and the tribute!"

That day's face changed, which really made some sense.

"Master Meng!" Dong Baihu and Wang Shouyu were stunned, this is really ruthless for Lord Qincha, he really dares to ask the Wara people for money.

"That day, you have to pay for eating, this little child understands the truth, you won't not understand, right?" Meng Yan smiled leisurely.

"Which of you brought the money?"

"General!"

"If we don't give money, they have an excuse to detain us, don't forget, what we are here for, for this little thing, it's not worth it." Equator that day.

If this is because he doesn't pay for the meal, and people deduct it, then his red face will be lost. (To be continued......) R1292
