Between mountains and rivers, a dock appeared in front of us.
Wubao and Wubao are different.
The Wubao built by Zhao Gu, Shangguan Si and others on the Yellow River was actually a simple earthen fence.
Higher-end docks, such as the historical Yunzhong dock, even quarried nearby marble to use as steps down the mountain.
Yubi City is not big either. In terms of structure, it is similar to the largest batch of forts (comparable to the smaller batches in the county town). As a result, Gao Huan got the upper hand and lost 70,000 people without attacking it.
Down.
The safety of a Wubao depends on whether the terrain is dangerous, whether the materials used are solid, whether the guards are complete, and fourthly whether the military and civilians are united.
The Jinmen dock was just completed and the materials used are relatively solid.
The whole thing is located on the mountainside, and "the mountain is very solid". There is spring water flowing in from the top, which is somewhat similar to the mountain city built by the Goguryeo people on the top of the mountain.
The soldiers of the second building of the Silver Spear Army stationed at Jinmenwu saw Shao Xun and his party from a distance.
After Tang Jian sent someone to pass the news, a large group of people immediately went down the mountain to greet him.
"Master Shao." Lu Heigou and Hou Feihu bowed and saluted.
"See General." Hundreds of soldiers hit the ground with their spear poles and shouted in unison.
"No need to be polite." Shao Xun dismounted from a distance, then took the struggling Leshi off the horse and said with a smile.
Mr. Le's face was a little red, and he smoothed his hair around his ears, lowering his head and saying nothing.
Just now, Shao Xun's hand touched her chest for the first time, seemingly accidentally, but also intentionally.
Leshi raised his head and glanced at Shao Xun.
With a smile on his face, he focused entirely on looking at the hundreds of sergeants, and there was nothing strange about them at all.
It seems he did it unintentionally.
Leshi didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, so he could only do some mental construction secretly: "I am a slave gifted to him by the emperor. I can't do anything about what he wants to do."
"I haven't seen you for half a year. It seems that you haven't missed the training. Before the Chinese New Year, I will check your skills. The winner will be rewarded." Shao Xun said.
"No!" Hundreds of people responded in unison, and the sound completely drowned out the howling cold wind.
"Go back to the mountain." Shao Xun waved his hand, then took Le's hand and went up the mountain road.
Leshi was confused. Halfway through, he realized that something was missing from his hand. It turned out that he had forgotten his piano and put it in the carriage.
But it’s not just that I forgot to take it just now? I often forget it these days, and I often can’t remember it...
Her face was a little red, she felt a little guilty, and she felt like crying.
How many days has it been?
She is definitely not such a changeable woman.
But when I'm with Shao Xun, I'm always very passive, and my mood is disturbed by him step by step. I actually like this feeling, as if the restraints on my nature that I had suppressed for many years are slowly being released.
"Greetings to the general!" Dozens of sages and village leaders from Jinmenwu saluted in unison.
A wise man was in charge of fifty households, and his authority and responsibilities were limited to the interior of Wubao.
Zhuangtou is responsible for managing the fortress residents who go out to farm, military training or collective work during the off-season. They are also responsible for leading people to the designated place.
"It's a happy day today, no need to be polite." Shao Xun raised his hands and said.
He glanced at Le Shi from the corner of his eye and found that she was standing there calmly, neither nervous nor timid, and calm and generous, as if she was used to such scenes.
Only then did he realize that the little slave girl he had often held in his arms these days turned out to be the imperial concubine, who was almost as good as her mother.
Gee, I do have taste and like these high-quality women.
"Master Shao, everything is ready, including the red bean porridge you mentioned." Lu Heigou came over and reported.
Everyone looked at Shao Xun expectantly.
Regardless of the fact that each of them is an "official" in charge of dozens of households, after all, Jinmenwu is still too difficult, and the foundation is too weak, so that even they can't even talk about eating well. During the holidays, they can eat with open stomachs
, it is also a temptation for them.
Today is the twelfth lunar month. In addition to the traditional worship of the Kitchen God, Shao Xun also ordered the Winter Solstice to be celebrated together.
The Winter Solstice is not a popular festival at this time, and in many places it is not even celebrated at all. There is no saying in later generations that "the Winter Solstice is as big as the New Year", but Shao Xun feels that it is still necessary to celebrate it.
He was not sure whether he would still be at Jinmenwu in the next few days, so he simply stayed together and spent two sessions together.
It happened that among the more than 300,000 hu of grain shipped from Chang'an, there were a lot of red beans, black beans, mung beans and other miscellaneous grains. The festival food red bean porridge was available.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Shao Xun said: "You have worked hard for a whole year, farming, training, digging rivers, grazing, and building forts. Don't you deserve a good meal?"
As soon as these words came out, the wise men showed joy, and then they went to their respective jurisdictions to deliver the order.
After a while, cheers resounded throughout the Wubao.
Shao Xun laughed loudly and pulled Leshi to his small courtyard.
As soon as he entered, he took Leshi into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Look at how happy the refugees I have gathered are."
Leshi was infected by the joyful mood in the whole castle, and a smile appeared on her lips. She even ignored Shao Xun's hand falling on her buttocks.
****
In the evening, Shao Xun walked out of the main gate of Wubao and climbed to a high slope overlooking the entire river valley.
At the top, he stretched out his hand.
Leshi hesitated for a moment and then held out his hand. As a result, by accident, Shao Xun gave her a princess hug and held her tightly in his arms.
I am a slave gifted by the emperor, there is nothing I can do...
Leshi's face was slightly tangled, but in the end he did not struggle.
Shao Xun found a dead tree trunk that had fallen on the ground, wiped off the snow, and sat on it.
"Wang Hui of Fan Yang is dead." Shao Xun suddenly said: "Hebei is going to be in chaos again."
Leshi hummed.
Shao Xun was a little strange. After all, he was once the hostess of Yecheng. Why was he no longer interested in hearing about Hebei?
"As soon as the imperial army left, there was chaos in the pass. Sima Yong was welcomed back to Chang'an. Liang Liu's soldiers turned against him, killed him, and surrendered to Sima Yong." Shao Xun said again.
This is actually the main reason why he is not sure whether he can still celebrate the New Year at home. What if Sima Yue wants him to lead troops on an expedition?
Leshi hummed again.
Shao Xun was a little strange. He looked down and saw Leshi writing something on the trunk of the tree with his slender fingers.
"Le Lan Ji?" Shao Xun looked at the handwriting on Can Xue, his expression remained calm, and he was overjoyed.
Leshi nodded slightly, but soon there was a trace of sadness between his brows, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Maybe it's because I think of my late husband.
Shao Xun did not take advantage of the situation. He carefully controlled the situation and only hugged her slightly.
He has a huge advantage, because Le Lanji is a slave and is psychologically defenseless against him, making it much easier to succeed than other women.
This hunting game has entered deep waters, but before it is time to pick the fruits, Shao Xun is addicted to it, and the strong sense of satisfaction makes his soul tremble.
"Land in the Mountain..." He whispered in Leshi's ear: "You deserve to belong to this mountain, rather than being bound in a strict cage. On Jinmen Mountain, you can release your nature at will and forget all your worries.
Enjoy the pleasure."
Leshi felt dizzy from the heat in her ears, and her face felt like it was burning.
"Listen, the mountain breeze is greeting you." Shao Xun's voice was like a devil's whisper.
Le Shi really listened, and his eyes even showed a little joy, as if he recalled something - perhaps some experience in his girlhood.
The two sat hugging each other quietly for a long time.
Shao Xun restrained himself and never took advantage of him. Occasionally, he hugged her tightly to help Leshi avoid the wind.
When they returned to the Wubao courtyard, the atmosphere between the two was obviously different.
Shao Xun sat in front of the case and checked the data of the first year of Guangxi (306) sent by various Wubao and manors - after pacifying Empress Sima Yong, the emperor issued an edict to change the Yuan Dynasty. This year is the first year of Guangxi.
Yunzhongwu entered its second year of farming. After applying manure mixed with moist silt from the river bottom, the yield was quite good. However, because some of the fields on the north bank of the river were trampled by the Xianbei people, a total of 287 hectares of farmland only yielded more than 66,000.
Dendrobium millet - one Jin of dendrobium millet is about thirty kilograms.
The Wubao currently has more than 1,600 households, more than 7,500 people, and 282 livestock of various sizes.
Jinmenwu currently has more than 1,200 households and more than 5,200 people. This year, about 150 hectares were cultivated, more than 44,000 husks of grain were harvested, and 149 livestock were raised.
Tanshanwu has almost the same household registration, cultivated 160 hectares, harvested more than 47,000 hu of grain, and 167 livestock of various sizes.
Obviously, Tanshanwu won the competition, so Mao Er got the place to enter Taixue.
Construction of Tanshan Wubao will also begin next year and is expected to be completed within a year.
The development of Yushanwu has reached its peak, with an annual harvest of more than 165,000 husks of grain, which is very stable, and there are more than 820 large and small livestock.
This scale is not the limit of a Wubao, but it is the limit of Yushan Wubao. It may be able to grow a little, but there is not much room.
The Wubao that can really harvest grain must be in the plains - later Liu Yao attacked Guo Mo in Huai City and seized 800,000 dendrobium of corn from his Wubao.
The development of the three major estates has been subject to many restrictions. After this summer's harvest, another crop of grains was planted, and a total of nearly 130,000 dendrobium grains were harvested throughout the year.
A rough calculation shows that this year's food shortage is only more than 100,000 dendrobiums.
Kinmen, Yunzhong, and Tanshan Sanwu all planted overwintering wheat a few months ago. Grain production will increase significantly next year, and there will be surplus grain by then.
Considering that we have obtained a lot of money and food from Chang'an this year, we are not financially constrained for the first time in several years. We may not even need to borrow money from outsiders for the construction of Tanshan dock next year.
Of course, you still have to borrow when you need to.
Being able to borrow money is also a skill, not to mention that he wants to expand his army.
After settling the accounts, Shao Xun felt happy.
Le Lanji gently stroked the Yao Qin, like a ray of clear spring, soothing his tired nerves.
Shao Xun leaned on the back of the bed and silently looked at Leshi who was kneeling in front of the piano.
She has a graceful figure, elegant temperament, and a delicate face with a slight blush.
The age of twenty-four is when a woman is most mature and charming.
He suddenly had the urge to marry this woman.
But he quickly put an end to this idea. I was trying to capture this woman's body and mind. How could I be captured by a woman instead?
Ridiculously funny.
