After the autumn harvest, Xiping is filled with joy and festivity.

Whether it is a slave or a returnee, he has a little family.

Although the taxes paid by the slaves in Tuntian were heavier, they either built roads, reclaimed and dug ditches, or built Wubao villages during the year, and the Tuntian Division provided two meals and bone broth at every turn, and the slaves could live a good life.

For children born to slaves, the Tuntian Division will compensate some food every month, and children as young as five or six years old will be sent to the public school, which will be enlightened by Xuanyi Peng, and the public school will also provide free food.

As long as the child is a little promising, he will be selected for the youth camp at the age of seven or eight.

This kind of doubt is very great, and what comes out of Qingying is at least a Xuanyi Peng.

Even if you don't have a chance, you can give priority to entering the army and achieve a jump in status.

The rising channel is opened, and the people at the bottom can prosper, and Xiping will naturally prosper.

As for land, it is not a problem at all in this day and age.

According to the estimates of Du Pre and Lu Zhi, excluding those hidden by Haoqiang and those that cannot be counted, the population of Han people on the books of the entire Liangzhou is only about 250,000.

In such a large area, the population of Hermes-Epitek was not as large as that of a slightly larger county in later generations.

No wonder Xianbei and Qiang Hu are ready to move.

From the third year of Jiaping to the fourth year of Jiaping, the peaceful and stable environment in the west has either actively or passively absorbed a large number of Qiang, Hu and Han displaced people from Yongliang, Plateau, and the Western Regions, and the population has approached 300,000.

According to Du Pre and Lu Zhi's statistics, the ratio of farmers to herdsmen is 82, and there are more than 80,000 young and strong men on the register.

Hermes-Epitek also increased to 16,000 households, about 70,000 people.

In addition to population growth, new cities have also sprung up.

Both the Great and Small Elm Valleys expanded from Wubao to cities.

The vast area of Dafeichuan has also built two cities in recent years, the east city is called Shenma City because there are often wild horse herds infested, and the west city is high and wide, named Qingyun City, and the two cities each guard 700 Yue cavalry battalion light horses.

As an important place between the Xihai River and the Plateau, Fuluo River was built with Fuluo City, which was the western control and governing office, and 3,000 cavalry battalions were stationed all year round.

Directly north of the West Sea, between the Qilian Mountains and the Datong River, Du Pre expanded Shenwei Fort here as Haibei City to control the grasslands of Haibei.

In the west of the West Sea, there is Haixi City, where 2,000 cavalry are stationed to guard against the Hu tribe from the south of the Western Regions.

Naturally, two thousand cavalry could not defend against a large-scale Hu tribe.

Yang Zheng collected the boats from Qinghai Lake, and asked Wang Mufu to build new ships, so that if there was something in the north and west, the soldiers of Fuluo City and Shenma City Qingyun City in the south could quickly support.

Although the seven cities were not magnificent, they firmly controlled the fertile fields and pastures, and were the cornerstone of Yang Zheng's control of the Xihai River.

Together is still in the initial stage, but as long as the framework is built, everything will gradually improve.

Winter is coming, and the northwest is bitterly cold.

The atmosphere in the Xiping military camp was also tense, and many soldiers clenched their fists and stared at Wei Zhu on the stage with an unusually devoted expression.

With a sound of winter, Wei Zhu knocked the drumstick in his hand on a cowhide drum.

But said that night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, Ban Dingyuan ordered ten people to hide behind the thief's house with drums, and the remaining twenty-five people lay outside the door with crossbows, Ban Dingyuan set fire to the wind, and made noise before and after, and the thieves thought that there were thousands of troops and horses, and they were shocked, like the headless flies colliding with each other, Ban Dingyuan took the lead and shouted: Bah! Rise up two hundred pounds of big knife, one knife to kill three people, and then another knife, the Hun messenger cut into two, the third knife cracked open the house, the fourth knife shook the mountains and shook the fire to the sky, the fifth knife was all over the sky and the gods and ghosts all retreated, and the sixth knife ......"

As the drumbeat became more and more urgent, Wei Zhu's voice became more and more excited, as if there were really thousands of troops rushing out of his mouth.

“…… King Shanshan was frightened on the spot, knelt in front of Ban Dingyuan, and didn't dare to have two hearts! ”

With a loud sound in winter, the first chapter of the story of the Western Regions was over.

"Good!" The soldiers let out thunderous cheers.

The atmosphere was extremely warm.

"The Han is mighty, the Chinese is mighty!"

Yang Zheng hid in the corner, listening to Wei Zhu's entire storytelling process, in this atmosphere, Rao is through various light and shadow methods in later generations, and he couldn't help but be excited.

In this era, there is a lack of means of entertainment, as soon as it gets dark, there are conditions to reproduce, and there are no conditions to go to bed early.

Everyone is generally hard, and Yang Zheng adds some fun to them.

Of course, the story has been processed by Yang Zheng himself, which is a bit exaggerated, but it is right for the appetite of the soldiers.

Of course, they will not be entangled in whether a two-hundred-pound big knife is unreasonable, but care about whether it hits their "cool point".

Wei Zhu's eloquence is indeed good, his voice is full of color, and he is affectionately devoted, so that people unconsciously follow his voice into the story, and I wish I was one of the thirty-six people.

The response was so good, and Yang Zheng took advantage of the trend to spread it.

This is the task of the next stage of the Xuanyi Division.

Use this as a model to train a large number of storytellers, and in the army, government soldiers, slaves, people to be returned, and ordinary people must promote it.

Ancient legends, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu and Han Dynasty struggled for hegemony, and the old stories of the two Han Dynasty, there are too many stories to tell.

Jingwei reclamation, Kuafu's chasing the sun, Yugong moving mountains, Zhao's orphans, Yu Rang stabbing Zhao Xiangzi, Boyazi period of high mountains and flowing water, Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao ......

The spiritual treasures of China are endless, and scooping up a scoop at will is enough for the current Xiping.

Wei Zhu's professionalism still reassures Yang Zheng.

But the soldiers could not sit in their houses every day to listen to books.

The boring training day after day can easily produce the slack heart of being a monk for a day.

It's like the students of later generations, who go to school every day, but their minds are not on their homework.

Fun is a given.

Yang Zheng remembered that there was a habit of playing polo in the Tang Army, but this thing needed double horses, military secrets, and it was not appropriate to leak it now.

However, this matter is also easy to solve, with Du Zhen, who knows astronomy and geography, knows the art of war, calendar, law, and can also play iron and wood, everything is not a problem.

Soon the method of juju was dug out of the classics.

It is recorded in the Warring States Policy that there are 70,000 households in Linzi...... He is very rich and real, and his people are all flutes, drums, beating, playing harps, cockfights, dogs, six bo, and bows.

The two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, Keju developed faster, Liu Xiang said to "Don't Record": Juju, the strength of the army. Therefore, the practice of samurai, knowing that there is talent, is all because of frolicking and training, in order to establish the winner of attack and defense.

In the Han Dynasty, Juju built a bow city, like yin and yang, six people as a team, dressed in armor and lined up, colliding with each other and wrestling, and the confrontation was very strong.

It is quite similar to the rugby of later generations, except that rugby uses hands and bows with feet.

Since it already exists, it's not difficult to reproduce.

The rules are also simple, six people work together, just get the ball into the opponent's hole.

As for the ball, find a cobbler, use leather as a bag, and then fill the hair to come out.

Yang Zheng selected twelve personal guards, Liu Heng's first team, Luo Hu's first team, put on armor, Liu Heng and Luo Hu were like two brute bulls rampage, but the one with great strength was not necessarily dexterous, the hole was so small, Liu Heng kicked the ball and didn't get it in.

As soon as Keju came out, it immediately set off a craze in the pro-guard camp.

In addition to being lustful, men are also aggressive by nature.

If they don't let them play ball, they will play something else.

Liu Heng is a good example, when he is not on duty, he nests on the bed every day, and after a long time, he always has to consume vitality.

Now that there is Keju, the more this guy can't get into the doorway, the more he pounces in, and the more he likes to play.

Yang Zheng just made a start, and Keju was quickly promoted in the army.

Soon it was also introduced to various Zhechong Prefecture and Tuntian District.

In order to add fuel to the fire, Yang Zheng simply made a juju competition.

Nineteen Zhichong Mansions, plus the Guards Battalion, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, formed 36 Ju teams, and the three winning teams were personally rewarded by Yang Zheng, and then the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up were awarded three small pennants.

When the news spread, the whole Xiping seemed to be boiling.

The tree lives a skin, the people fight for a breath, and the army is a place of flesh and blood.

A qualified army should not only have clear rewards and punishments, but also enhance its sense of honor.

The appearance of Keju came at the right time.

The first year's competition was really unbearable and miserable, and it could basically be classified as a group sanda competition, Yang Zheng felt really embarrassed, and the reward was there, but the three small pennants were not issued.

There were more than 30 people in a bow team, six of whom were on the field, and the rest were substituted.

Rao is known for being arrogant Liu Heng, who was also beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

But that's what the soldiers watched.

The Keju field was full of people, the trees and the walls, and every time someone fell, there were cheers of landslides and tsunamis.

Time is rushed, preparation is insufficient, and that's all there is to it.
