"How much?" Niu Shizhao was shocked and blurted out his words, "How many times did you say? How much does this pear cost? How sure is it to use Zhao He to succeed?"

"My parents' history said that it is at least five times that of Niu Li!" Wang Han answered with great confidence without thinking. "I am not very clear about the cost of the construction, but what my parents' history wanted to create before has not failed."

This is extremely arrogant, and it sounds unreliable than the previous claim that it is preparing to reclaim 400,000 acres of land in a year. However, Niu Shizhao did not refute it, but just held his hands on the table, dazed in a daze.

He knew that Wang Han was not bragging. In terms of making tools, no one in the world could surpass Zhang Qian. And Zhang Qian was indeed not a person who was very fond of merit. Every actual effect of the objects he created before was several times stronger than that he introduced himself!

Among them, the one that gave the Niu Shi Award the deepest experience was the Fire Dragon Car. To be fair, the reason why Kucha City could remain unmoved for a month and a half under the crazy attack of Soge, the Fire Dragon Car made great contributions. Whenever the thief army started to "ans" up, the Fire Dragon Car "growed" a yellow flame toward the head. Instantly, even Soge's people brought the Cloud Ladder to "grow" it into a torch!

If the effectiveness of horse plow is really five times that of ox pear, then Zhang Qian may have reclaimed new fields next year, more than 400,000 acres? In the Western Regions, horses are much cheaper than oxes, and the horses that pull a cart are not worth the money, and there is no shortage of unowned wasteland! As an expert who once led his brothers to farm the fields, Niu Shizhao clearly knows what factors determine the upper limit of the number of farms!

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was no shortage of wasteland without owners, but the court stipulated that each adult male was only given 80 acres of "mouth-dividing land" and 20 acres of "yongye land". Why? It is because the maximum cultivation limit for each person and one cattle is 40 acres, and 80 acres is the limit, so the land owner can use rotation farming method to avoid reducing yield!

If the effectiveness of a horse plow can really reach five times that of ox plow, the farming limit of an adult male can be expanded to 200 acres. Even if it is folded in half, it can still be cultivated by 100 acres! (Note: This system was formed in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty stipulates that each person will be given 40 acres of uncovered fields to plant grains and 20 acres of women. Considering rotating farming, the field will be twice as long as it is given.).

The number of farmland in the military is 400,000 mu, which seems huge. But if calculated based on the per capita of 100 mu, Suye City can do it by sending 4,000 farmers. And the new population of Suye City next year will be more than 4,000!

"I will send someone to send a letter to Guazhou and let them transport seeds. At the beginning of next spring, you can just send someone to my husband to get seeds. I will give him as much as he needs!" After a full moment of stunned for a quarter of an hour, Niu Shizhao recovered, suppressed the passion in his heart, and gritted his teeth and promised.

"Thank you, the general manager!" Wang Han was overjoyed and bowed seriously. "After my parents Shi Qiuhuo harvest, they will definitely return it ten times!"

"I don't need him to pay the grain." Niu Shizhao shook his head, and the expression on his face should be as serious as he should. "I want him to pay the horse plow you mentioned. The seeds can also be converted according to the market price, and the horse plow can be converted according to the market price. I don't need him to pay it immediately, but within a year, I will be in Kucha and at least fifty horse plows."

"No problem, I can guarantee the last time that my parents will have fifty horse plows. A lot of them will be delivered to Kucha before the end of next year!!" Wang Han hesitated for a moment, and Zheng pointed out. "If one less, the chief executive can ask Wang!"

Fifty horse plows were built in Suiyechuan, which was difficult to complete. However, the Liushen Blacksmith Workshop, which sent the drawings back, would have a production of one month at most. The time limit given by General Niu was one year. After the spring, the pattern was delivered to Chang'an with the help of the inn, so that the construction there would be immediately set off. No matter how long it was calculated, it would be more than enough!

"Well, I have me recorded it!" Niu Shizhao nodded with satisfaction. This is what makes him feel comfortable when dealing with young people. Whether he succeeds or not can be said to be happy. Unlike some old guys, he always speaks ambiguously, and he has to spend the boss's thoughts on guessing.

"The chief manager, the post road in Guazhou seems not very smooth." Wang Han was a little worried about whether Niu Shizhao could successfully allocate seeds on the one-acre three-point land that originally belonged to Guo Yuanzhen, lowered his voice and reminded him carefully.

Niu Shizhao was reminded and his face turned slightly red. He waved his hand and threw out another shocking news, "You don't have to worry, there will be a replacement. The imperial court opened the Hezhong General Administration Office, the Guangping County Duke Cheng Boxian, who served as the Hezhong Road General Administration, the General Administration of Gan, Liang, Gua and Sha. The appointment has been issued, and Cheng County Duke had already set off from Chang'an a few days ago."

"In this way, I'll be in charge of the general!" Wang Han immediately had an ecstatic expression on his face, and he smiled and saluted Niu Shizhuo.

Niu Shizhuan knew why Wang Han was ecstatic, and also knew that Guo Yuanzhen had instructed his old friends to detain the war report sent to the court in Guazhou by taking advantage of the reason why the snowstorm blocked the road. However, he did not want to mention these old accounts anymore. He smiled and waved his hand gently, "You don't have to be so polite to me. Just go back and tell your parents' history and do things with peace of mind. I will deal with other aspects."

It is definitely a blessing to meet such a responsible boss. Wang Han was so grateful that he even claimed that he was. Niu Shizhuo admired his intelligence and skill. After thinking about it, he reminded him heartily: "Don't just spend the military farming and weaving cloth. The Western Regions are far away from Chang'an, Dashi, Turks, and Tubo are all eyeing the four towns. If the knife is not strong enough, the richer the shaved leaves are, the more they are missed. Therefore, the first priority is to prepare for war. Otherwise, once the great cannibals rushed over from Talas, or Mo Chuo sent troops through the territory of Gelulu like in spring, I would not be too late to send troops to rescue me, but it would not be too late to rush over from Kucha!"

"Don't worry, the chief manager, we will definitely wait for the battle and will not give the thief any chance!" Wang Han also put away his smile and responded solemnly after hearing the old man's words.

"Also, the Fire Dragon Car is very useful, but the gunpowder (alcohol) inside is too rare. The gunpowder I brought from Chang'an has long been seen. Just like using Zhaoneng to refine some on the side of the Shattered Leaf, refine some as soon as possible to send them to me in case of emergencies! The post road is now unobstructed. If you write a letter to send Yaoxing Armor and a Turbo Iron Vest in Chang'an, don't forget to send some to me. As long as there is goods, no matter how much I ship it, I will want it, and the price can be marketed at the same time!" Niu Shizhao was not polite, and smiled and put forward a series of new requirements.

"I will obey the order!" Wang Han agreed cleanly without thinking.

Smart people speak very effortlessly. Every word they say is full of information. Soon, they sort out each other's responsibilities, obligations and needs. Niu Shizhao was happy and ordered his confidant generals Zhou Heng, Gao Baoyi, Geshu Daoyuan, Chang Shuxin, Niu Shouyi and others to set up a banquet to entertain Wang Han for himself. The next morning, he stood up and led his confidants to send Wang Han who was eager to return to Shattered Ye to report his life.

Time is approaching the end of the year, and the cold wind is blowing through the bones, but the veteran general is excited. If the measures implemented by Zhang Qian, Suoye City, can achieve results, the four Anxi towns will no longer be a burden for the Tang Dynasty, but an indispensable strategic location!

When the prosperous age comes, the Tang army can use this as a base to launch a counterattack westward at any time, and include Persia, Dayuan and other places in the territory again. If God does not have eyes, the chaotic era of the Tang Dynasty in the Wuzhou and Zhou dynasties will appear again. Anxi, who can be self-sufficient, can also become a barrier for the Tang Dynasty, and will push the Dashi army and those missionary madmen who are full of lies tightly outside the Pamir Mountains.

"The chief executive is too kind to Zhang Yongzhao. It would be fine if he didn't hand over the method of making palm thunder, but he didn't even let him send some palm thunder!" But not everyone's heart was as kind as Niu Shizhuo. After returning to the state yamen, Niu Shizhuo's nephew, Zhe Chong Duwei Niu Shouyi, couldn't help but complain to him in a low voice.

"It is said that the palm thunder is unparalleled in the world, but who among you has seen this thing with your own eyes?" The joy on Niu Shixuan's face immediately turned into anger, frowned, and scolded in a low voice, "If Zhang Yongzhao wanted to present this thing to me, Wang Han would have brought it with me long ago, and he would use me to speak with me? If he didn't want to give it to me, even if I asked for it, he would refuse to admit it. What can I do to him?"

"This..." I didn't expect that my uncle would get so angry. Niu Shouyi was stunned and at a loss.

"Besides, who is a military general doesn't have many unique skills to save his life!" Knowing that he was speaking a bit heavy, Niu Shizhao slowed down his tone and whispered, "You and Ruobing, the boss of the Cheng family, are good brothers. Go and ask him to teach you the skills of the Cheng family to see how he responds?"

"He? I mentioned it to him before. He said that the Cheng family started out by playing with an axe and didn't know how to use a horse spear!" Niu Shouyi was stunned again, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's it!" Niu Shizhuo also smiled and shrugged slightly, "But our ancestors said in person that the ancestors of the Cheng family first rescued Pei Xingyan in the chaos, and then were stabbed by the enemy generals in the thigh. At a critical moment, he snatched Shuo and stabbed the enemy general and fell off the horse, and then scared more than 20 enemy generals to chase him again. He watched him holding a coma Pei Xingyan in his arms, limping one leg and riding his horse!" (Note: This is a historical fact. Pei Xingyan is Pei Yuanqing, the third hero in the world in traditional storytelling.)

Niu Shouyi was speechless and could only continue to shake his head and smile embarrassedly. Niu and Cheng families have had a friendship between several generations. He wanted to learn to use a horse spear with his friend Cheng Ruobing, but the Cheng family had to use an axe to make excuses. His uncle and Zhang Qian had been in friendship for less than half a year. How could the other party take the initiative to give each other a magical artifact "Palm Thunder"?

"It may not be a bad thing for him to refuse to give the thunder in the palm of my husband. Now that Soge is dead, no matter who he fights with, he will not use that thing in a short period of time." Knowing that his nephew will not give up easily, Niu Shizhao hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice to add, "And he only has a few thousand soldiers and horses in his hand. Even if he really has thunder in the palm of my husband, he would not cause any storm. If he gave the thunder in the palm of my husband, alas, there is still no idea how many people would have their hair white in the court!"

"Those bastards who only know how to be stubborn!" Niu Shouyi immediately understood the difficulties of his uncle and cursed with gritted teeth. However, after scolding, he couldn't help but be worried, "Uncle, Guo Hong once fought side by side with Zhang Qian. If he spread the thunder in his palm, the court thought his uncle would have it in his hands..."

"If you don't admit it, pretend not to know!" Niu Shizhao didn't think about it and gave the answer sneeredly, "Don't write a word on the battle report, just pretend that this thing does not exist. Who has a lot of trouble and asked him to come to the Western Regions to check it himself! And Guo Hong is not that stupid. Until now, Guo Yuanzhen has never mentioned the story of Zhang Yongzhao pressing his neck with a horizontal knife to borrow soldiers. It is obvious that he is leaving a way out for himself. Guo Hong is his biological son, and he is ready to take the initiative to take over his robbery and continue to stay in Shule. He will not be at this critical moment, so he will take the initiative to make trouble for Zhang Yongzhao!"

"Guo Hong stayed in Shule?" Niu Shouyi seemed to understand and asked instinctively.

"This matter has not been concluded yet, but according to the court's habit of employing people, Guo Yuanzhen was transferred to the court and raised it high, in order to appease his subordinates, he would definitely keep Guo Hong in Shule for the time being and inherit his mantle." Intentionally, he gave his nephew, Niu Shizhao lowered his voice and whispered, "In this way, Zhang Yongzhao is in Shule, Guo Hong is in Shule, Zhou Yiti, I am in Kucha, and Xin'anxi, and have basically set the outline."

He left some time for his nephew to digest. He lowered his head and drank a few sips of water, and added in a lower voice, "Zhou Yiti has always been worried about Guo Yuanzhen's death in the spring, and he must not be in the same group with Guo Hong. Zhang Yongzhao had kidnapped Guo Yuanzhen, and even if Guo Hong was broad-minded, he could not become friends with him. As for me, I didn't deal with Guo Yuanzhen very much, and I had no friendship with Zhou Yiti. I have known Zhang Yongzhao for less than half a year. The three of them helped me. Even if Anxi was far away from Chang'an, the court would not have to worry about someone rebelling. Not to worry about the appearance of Guo Yuanzhen alone. No matter what the court wants to do, it depends on his bad face!"

"This..." Niu Shouyi felt sweat on his forehead when he heard it, and instinctively raised his hand to wipe it.

"What's this?" Niu Shizhao smiled and sighed and shook his head. "Do you think I, the chief general of Anxi, can only know how to fight? When will the imperial court send people to take charge? It's not to repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, first ensure that the generals will not be respectful, and then consider other things? You, there are so many things you need to learn? Don't keep staring at the little bit in other people's hands. If you learn what I have, it's enough for you to stand alone in the future!"

"Yes, uncle and nephew understand!" Niu Shouyi crossed his hands and said humbly. Unintentionally, he suddenly realized that his uncle's white hair seemed to be much more than when he was trapped in the lonely city, and was extremely white.
