August is approaching and the harvest season is approaching.

Away from war for many years, Liangzhou is full of vitality.

The population is becoming more and more dense.

There are children running everywhere in the fields and alleys.

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

He had pigtails on his head, spoke pure Chinese, and wore Hanfu issued by the government.

The newly established Department of Soothing paid special attention to this. Whether they were slaves or those to be returned, all children born to them would be treated as slaves, and the Department of Soothing would register them.

They send some food, cloth, and mutton every month to examine their living conditions.

If the children cannot speak Chinese, their parents should be punished immediately.

Among tribes such as the Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu, having children is similar to herding sheep and cattle. They just care about living. Whether they survive or not depends on their own destiny.

If it's a daughter or a thin baby boy, it's easy to throw it into the water.

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

The Department of Comfort and Care has taken care of thousands of babies this year.

Yang Zheng had no choice but to issue a decree prohibiting abandoned babies. If they could not be raised or did not want to be raised, they could be sent to the Solace Department to be raised.

When life becomes more stable, the population will naturally increase.

There are not many entertainment activities these days. As soon as it gets dark, I will start making people while covering my head with a quilt.

In order to encourage fertility, slaves were rewarded with a sheep when they gave birth to a boy and one stone of grain for the birth of a girl. When the slaves were in charge of the people, they were rewarded with two sheep and two stones of grain.

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

The descendants of slaves are no longer slaves. This is more effective than any slogan.

The stable environment also continued to attract tribes from the Western Regions and Mobei to move in.

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

Tribes from Mobei and Monan also went south one after another.

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

As for those leaders who did not want to enjoy the glory and wealth, Yang Zheng let them go home based on the principle of kindness and friendliness.

Most of the tribes that moved eastward had to move eastward because they couldn't survive where they were.

Yang Zheng asked them to go back, which almost cut off their livelihood.

And these people also had hot tempers, and they broke out on the spot and wanted to loot the city.

Unexpectedly, they were surrounded from all sides.

If Yang Zheng dared to let them in, he would naturally be fully prepared.

The government soldiers cooperated with the pro-military troops and put down the rebellion with three strikes, five strikes and five strikes.

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

"Yang Xiao and Yang Ji recruited refugees in Shuofang and Jiuyuan, opened up farmland, built canals to divert water from the Yellow River into the inner fields, rebuilt the Hanjilu Fortress and Gaoque Fortress, restored the surrendered city of the Han Dynasty, and repelled the Xianbei invasion from the west three times.

, his political performance is the first among all counties."

The secret report from Jiuyingying was submitted, and Yang Xiao and Yang Ji still ranked among the top two in terms of political performance.

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

Suo Jing was released to build Liangzhou Racecourse.

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

Plan pastures, set up animal husbandry departments, appease herder slaves, and select and breed superior livestock...

Grassland is different from farming, and herdsmen are different from slaves. They run around everywhere and are not so easy to control.

Xianbei from the west also came in from time to time to plunder some of them.

The hard work can be imagined.

However, Suo Jing arranged everything properly, and several rebellions of herdsmen and slaves were quickly put down. He also conquered six small Xianbei tribes in the northeast of Juyan County, obtained 30,000 cattle and sheep, and made the Liangzhou grassland full of vitality.

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

This is the advantage of the powerful gentry. Ordinary people spend their whole lives struggling on the edge of hunger and cold. How can they have the time to read and read?

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

"Development is the last word." Yang Zheng couldn't help blurting out as he looked at the endless waves of wheat outside Guzang City.

"What?" Du Yu was stunned, and then thought carefully, "What the general said is true!"

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

Yang Zheng laughed dryly for a while.

Du Yu asked someone to bring a horse, "This horse was specially sent by Suo Sicheng. General, guess what's so unique about it."

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

But this horse looks a little stretched out.

He is not very tall, and his coat color is a bit dull. He is a little shorter than the surrounding Hehuang horses and Liangzhou horses.

Its only strengths are its big head, short neck, strong hooves, broad chest, long mane, thick skin and thick hair, making it look relatively strong.

If it weren't for Du Yu's special reminder, Yang Zheng would have thought that he was just a weak horse in the army.

"Is there anything unique about this?" Yang Zheng asked doubtfully.

Du Yu didn't give in, "This horse is cold-resistant and heat-resistant, good at running on the road, and is not afraid of wild wolves."

"Hehuanghequ war horses are also cold-resistant and not afraid of wild wolves." Yang Zheng still didn't hear the difference.

As a general who emerges from the battlefield, he naturally likes the tall horse of the Divine Horse.

Du Yu laughed and said, "This horse does not need intensive feeding and can be raised on ordinary pasture. It can march a hundred troops in four hours and last for thirteen days. With a little more intensive feeding, it can march for seventeen consecutive days!"

"What?" Does Yang Zheng not know what this means?

Liangzhou horses and Hehuang horses are indeed great horses and fast, but they are expensive and can eat more than a person in one meal. Secondly, they are not good at traveling and have poor endurance. Generally, they will not be able to march continuously for seven or eight days.

With this kind of horse, wouldn't all soldiers be able to mount it?

Yang Zheng remembered that the reason why the Mongols were able to sweep across the Eurasian continent in history was because of their hardworking and easy-to-feed Mongolian horses.

If the Mongols were riding Liangzhou horses, could Hehuang horses be able to support 100,000 cavalry?

The food also depleted them.

Besides, the Mongols didn’t have that much food to feed their horses.

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

"Coming from Mobei."

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

Even if there are some differences, just keep cultivating!

With this kind of horse, Yang Zheng's sword can penetrate from Guzang eastward into Liaodong, or westward into Tianshan Mountain!

Due to the characteristics of nomadic civilization, the territory of the empire can be expanded as far as the hoofs of horses can travel.

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

"Good! Suo Jing has made great contributions to Liangzhou!" Yang Zheng expressed his praise, "From now on, 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 intensively.

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

On the battlefield, a heavy cavalry composed of Liangzhou horses and Hehuang horses was used.

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

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