As August approaches, the harvest season is approaching.

Far from the war for many years, Liangzhou is full of life.

The population is becoming more and more dense.

In the alleys, there are children running everywhere.

Their parents may still be Qiang, Hu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei, but they are no different from Han children.

With pigtails on his horns, he speaks pure Chinese and wears Hanfu issued by the government.

The newly established Department of Consolation attaches great importance to this, and all children born to them, whether they are slaves or to be returned, are to govern the people, and the Consolation Division will register them.

Every month, some grain, cloth, and mutton were sent to inspect their living conditions.

If the child does not speak Chinese, punish their parents immediately.

Qiang, Hu, Xiongnu and other departments, giving birth to children is similar to herding sheep and cattle, just live, whether they live or not, it depends on their own creation.

If it is a daughter, or a baby boy with an emaciated body, it is easy to throw it into the water.

For any reason, the child will be thrown in the wilderness.

This year, the Department of Comfort has taken in thousands of babies.

Yang Zheng had to issue a decree prohibiting the abandonment of infants, and if they couldn't raise them or didn't want to raise them, they could be sent to the comfort department to raise them.

When life is stable, the population will naturally increase.

In these years, there were not many entertainment activities, and as soon as it was dark, people began to be made under the quilt.

In order to encourage fertility, slaves were rewarded with one sheep for the male and one stone of grain for the birth of a girl, and two sheep and two stones of grain for the people.

The vast majority of Han people in Liangzhou are governing the people, and Yang Zheng's move is actually secretly encouraging the Han people to have more children.

The descendants of slaves are no longer slaves, and this works better than any slogan.

The stable environment also continued to absorb the tribes from the Western Regions and Mobei.

This year, Zhang Te sent more than 3,000 Western Regions tribes from Gaochang.

The tribes of the north and south of the desert also went south.

Yang Zheng received all the orders, and all the leaders and nobles stayed in Guzang to enjoy the glory and wealth, and the people were scattered and sent to Jincheng, Longxi, and Beidi for scattered resettlement.

As for those leaders who did not want to enjoy the glory and wealth, Yang Zheng let them go home in line with the principle of cordiality and friendliness.

Most of the tribes that moved eastward basically couldn't mix in the same place, so they had to move east.

Yang Zheng asked them to go back, which almost cut off their way of life.

And these tempers are also relatively hot, and they explode on the spot and want to sack the city.

But behold, they were surrounded on all sides, and they were strong.

Yang Zheng dared to let them in, so he was naturally fully prepared.

The government soldiers cooperated with the pro-army, and the rebellion was quelled by dividing five by two.

The heads were piled directly on both sides of the official road to warn those who came after them.

"Yang Huan and Yang Ji recruited the displaced people in Shuofang and Jiuyuan, opened the tuntian, repaired the canal to divert the water of the Yellow River into the inner field, rebuilt the Han Jilu Fortress and Gaoque Fortress, restored the Han Shou surrender city, and repelled the Xianbei invasion in the west three times, and the political achievements were the first among the counties."

The secret report of Jiuye Camp was submitted, and Yang Huan and Yang Ji were still in the top two in terms of political performance.

In addition to the two of them, the other person's political performance also ranked in the top five.

Suo Jing, who was released to build a horse farm in Liangzhou.

Since the beginning of this year, Suo Jing has been busy on the Liangzhou grassland day and night with a group of Qingying children.

Planning pastures, setting up pastoral departments, pacifying herding slaves, and selecting and breeding high-quality livestock......

The grassland is different from the tuntian, and the herdsman is different from the slave, running around is not so easy to control.

There are also Western Xianbei who come in from time to time to plunder.

The hard work can be imagined.

However, Suo Jing arranged it properly, several rebellions of herdsmen were quickly quelled, and he also subdued six Xianbei small tribes in the northeast of Juyan County, obtained 30,000 cattle and sheep, and made the Liangzhou grassland vibrant.

In addition, Suo Jing also ordered people to go to the West Sea, the Western Regions, and Mobei to select and breed high-quality war horses and bring them back to Liangzhou to raise.

The advantage of the strong and powerful scholars lies in this, ordinary people have struggled on the edge of hunger and cold all their lives, how can they have the leisure to read and write?

It is precisely because of these children of the scholar clan that Liangzhou has entered the track of rapid development.

"Development is the last word." Yang Zheng looked at the boundless wheat waves outside Guzang City, and couldn't help blurting out.

"What?" Du Yu was stunned for a moment, and then thought carefully, "What the general said is true and reasonable!" ”

This is, of course, a truth that has been proven by later generations.

Yang Zheng laughed dryly.

Du Yu asked people to bring a horse, "This horse was specially sent by Suo Sicheng, and the general guessed what was unique." ”

"Oh?" Yang Zheng was stunned, since it was sent by Suo Jing, he must have ulterior motives.

However, the horse looked a little crotch-pulled.

The body is not very tall, and the coat color is also a little dark, and it is a little shorter in front of the surrounding river horses and Liangzhou horses.

The only strengths are a large head and a short neck, strong hooves, a broad chest and a long mane, thick skin and thick hair, and a relatively strong appearance.

If it weren't for Du Pre's special reminder, Yang Zheng felt that it was a pack horse and an inferior horse in the army.

"Is there anything else unique about this?" Yang Zheng wondered.

Du Yu doesn't sell Guan Zi anymore, "This horse is cold-resistant, heat-resistant, good at running on the road, and is not afraid of wild wolves." ”

"The war horses of the river are also hardy and not afraid of wild wolves." Yang Zheng still didn't hear the difference.

As a general who has been killed on the battlefield, he naturally likes the tall horses of the gods.

Du Yu laughed, "This horse does not need to be finely fed, ordinary grass can be shepherded, four hours can be used in a hundred troops, lasting thirteen days, a little bit of fine feeding, can be marched for seventeen days in a row!" ”

"What?" What does this mean, how can Yang Zheng not know?

Liangzhou horses and Hehuang horses are of course miraculous horses and fast speeds, but first, they are expensive, and they eat more than people at a meal, and secondly, they are not good at traveling, and their sustaining ability is poor, and they generally march continuously for seven or eight days, and they will not work.

With such horses, wouldn't all the soldiers be able to mount them?

Yang Zheng remembered that the reason why the Mongols were able to sweep across the Eurasian continent in history was because of the hard-working Mongolian horses.

If the Mongols rode Liangzhou horses and Hehuang horses? Can afford to raise 100,000 cavalry?

Eating also made them poor.

Besides, the Mongols didn't have that much grain to feed the horses.

"Where did this horse come from?" Yang Zheng was overjoyed.

"Coming from the north."

Since it is Mobei, isn't it the Mongolian horse of later generations?

Even if there are some gaps, re-cultivation is!

With this kind of horse, Yang Zheng's broadsword can stab from Guzang to the east into Liaodong, or to the west into the Tianshan Mountains!

The characteristics of nomadic civilization, the empire can expand as far as the horse's hooves can go.

And the Chinese civilization can also spread outward with this horse's hooves.

"Good! Suo Jing has made a great contribution to Liangzhou! Yang Zheng did not hesitate to praise words, "In the future, Liangzhou, Xihai, and Hetao Racecourses will be dominated by this horse!" ”

Suo Jing solved Yang Zheng's most pressing problem.

War horses do not need to be fed.

According to the standard that raising one war horse is equal to raising five soldiers, how much grain did Suo Jing save for Liangzhou?

On the battlefield, it is equipped with a heavy horse composed of Liangzhou horses and Hehuang horses.

With saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, the Liangzhou army is not invincible in the world?

It is conceivable that with the left-hand farming stabilizing the interior and the right-hand nomadic development to the outside world, the Chinese civilization will reach another level!

A dual empire combining farming and nomadism is on the horizon!
