Thinking of this, Zhang Yue carefully observed these Huiqu herders.

These Huiqu herdsmen are now almost not much different from those of the Han people, especially when they are dressed, all of which are standard Han people's clothing, mainly thick burlap deep clothes and straight-hem robe skirts.

These dozens of herders, obviously, appeared in front of Zhang Yue based on family.

There are old and young, there are men and women.

Divide labor and cooperation among each other, and unite closely.

Young and middle-aged people were basically helping Zhao Guo, building livestock sheds, or busy unloading large numbers of wooden objects, mangers, various utensils for cutting grass, and large and small houses from horse-drawn carriages.

Their property has a strong nomadic style.

Basically, they are all large vessels.

And most of them are bronze products, which are very bulky and require two or three people to lift them.

The women took their children and each cared for a group of livestock.

The elderly man, leaning on crutches, looked at the livestock with joy on his face, muttering words in his mouth.

According to the information that Zhang Yue knew, the Huiqu people belonged to the Han Dynasty during the Henan Battle that year.

At that time, General Wei Qing led the Han cavalry to adopt the strategy of "flanking detour" and quickly penetrated from Ziling into the hinterland of Hetao. With a lightning speed, he captured Gaoque Fortress, surrounded the two major tribes of the Huns, Loufan, in the Hetao area, and gathered to annihilate them.

The Huiqu tribe was at that time to Guiyi Han Dynasty.

At first, he was unknown, and this was known from the fact that Huiquhou was named a marquis in the first year of Yuanshou.

However, when Huo Qubing emerged, Huiqu people followed Huo Qubing.

In addition, Zhang Yue actually did not have more information about Huiqu.

Even if the Lianhuiqu people belong to the Donghu clan, Yuezhi clan, or the Hun clan, they are a little stupid and can't tell the difference.

There is no way, the barbarians and Hu people are actually the same in the eyes of Chinese scholars and officials.

Either they are short and savage, or blonde hair or blue eyes, or black hair and brown eyes. Anyway, regardless of culture, clothing, customs, beliefs, or bloodline, they are not in line with China.

However, the Huiqu herdsmen in front of them were almost the same as those in the Han people.

But his figure may generally be shorter than that of men in the Han Dynasty.

But there is nothing we can do about it!

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the male height of the Xia people had reached the peak of the entire feudal dynasty!

According to the Han law, a man with a height of less than six feet and five inches is a disabled person and can be exempted from the collection of some heavy labor service.

But at the same time, they were also prohibited from joining the army and becoming officials.

If the height is less than six feet, it is a dwarf.

In the Han Dynasty, the normal height of adult men is generally above seven feet, and it is not uncommon to be eight feet tall.

This is why the saying passed down from later generations is: A man with a seven-foot trunk is hidden.

You can see this from the unearthed Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang.

The average height of the unearthed Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang is close to 1.8 meters tall, especially those warrior figurines that are the core of the military formation, all of which are more than 1.8 meters tall.

Therefore, the Xia army of the Qin and Han dynasties completely crushed the surrounding barbarians in terms of physical fitness.

In front of Chinese soldiers of this era, even the Spartans in the continental Europe would feel ashamed of themselves.

The Han Dynasty was the Five Barbarians in the era of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, which was not just a saying.

It is really possible to do it, 5,000 to fight 20,000 to fight 30,000 to fight 100,000 to fight the Huns, and they can fight the grasslands.

With curiosity, Zhang Yue approached the old man Huiqu who was taking care of the livestock with his children, bowed slightly, and bowed: "I would like to ask the elders for your good care..."

When the old man Huiqu saw Zhang Yue's official uniform, he was a little panicked and quickly replied, "I dare not be the grand gift of Ming Gong!"

Zhang Yue was quite surprised by his smooth and authentic Guanzhong dialect.

"Dare you ask the elder's surname?" Zhang Yue asked.

"The little old man's surname is Mu, and the name is Mu Qinnu..." The old man said with a smile, and then said proudly: "This is the name given to General Hao back then!"

"General Hao?" Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "But the Duke Hao is the one who is the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is willing

The old man nodded proudly.

Zhang Yue immediately felt awe.

Hao Xian, the son of Zhongli, was the famous Han army general who was more than thirty years ago.

However, this general was first-class in leading troops to fight, but he was not good at being an official. In a few years, he was dismissed from office because of his mistakes in his work.

However, as a general who first followed Wei Qing to fight in the frontier, this general was quite popular in Guanzhong.

Many young people admire him very much.

Since this old man Huiqu was named "Chinu" by a former Han army general, it means that he once captured a Hun noble on the battlefield?

"Mr. Xiao Ming is the official husband here?" the old man asked with a smile, with a hint of cunning in his smile.

Zhang Yue answered honestly: "What the elders said is very true, and I am now adding the new Feng Order!"

"That's good!" Mu Qinnu smiled and reached out to Zhang Yue, "The official assistant of the Taifu, tell me that the owed salary was paid by the noble official... I also asked the Ming Duke to pay the owed salary that the Taifu Yamen owed us!"

The Huiqu family around him also moved closer to Zhang Yue after hearing this and said, "I would like to ask the Ming Gong to pay the salary that the servants owed us..."

"Hmm?" Zhang Yue was startled.

Here is Gongsun Jingsheng’s foreshadowing?

He tried to ask, "How much salary do you owe you?"

"Not much..." Mu Qinnu grinned and said, "It's only half a year's salary..."

"The old man has six family. According to the rules, the young man pays a salary of 600 yuan per month, the women pay a salary of 300 yuan per month, each household gives three pieces of cloth and five kilograms of tea bricks... In addition, the milk and hair produced by the livestock are all for the use of the old man and other family members..." The old man smiled and said, "This was agreed with us by the Grand Sima back then! The Holy Emperor also allowed it!"

Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this. Is this Taifu Yamen so poor?

Even this little money is owed?

Are you not afraid of Huiqu people asking for wages with their armed forces?

But he knew that in fact, Guiyi Hu people like Huiqu have always been paid for the salary of any person who works for the Han Dynasty, whether in Shanglinyuan or in Taipu Yamen.

Originally, these salaries should have been paid long ago.

But who knew that Zhang Yue was born and Gongsun Rou was sent to prison.

In order to get out his precious son, Gongsun Jingsheng refused to deduct Huiqu people's salary.

He even touched Ma Zheng's money.

"What are the salaries of veterinarians?" Zhang Yue turned his head and asked Zhao Guo.

"Monthly salary is 1,000 yuan, and you are exempted from labor. In March, you will be given five pieces of cloth and fifty stones of rice..." Zhao Guo replied with his head down.

Zhang Yue thought about it and made some calculations in his heart.

He probably found out that Gongsun Jingsheng had thrown a group of wage-deserved employees over.

These people together, I'm afraid the Taifu owed more than one million in salary.

In other words, Gongsun Jingsheng wanted to suffer a loss by himself.

but……

"Gongsun Jingsheng is a fool..." Zhang Yue murmured.

Just for one million, I sold it to an excellent herder and veterinarian like myself?

Zhang Yue really wants to ask, is his mind flooding?

Just the dozens of Huiqu herders in front of them, I’m afraid the value they can create is tens of millions or even tens of millions!

Not to mention those around, as long as they can take good care of these livestock and take good care of them.

When the spring is about to start next year, when the ox and horses are plowed, they will be accompanied by a curved plow.

This value cannot be measured by money.

Not to mention, even in winter, this batch of livestock can greatly help Zhang Yue and do a good job in channel construction.

With this batch of livestock, Zhang Yue can even build a few more channels this winter.

Is this a measure of money?

Of course, the salaries of these people are indeed high!

The monthly salary of Huiqu herdsmen and young men is 600 yuan per person, which is equivalent to the salary standard of the Han Dynasty's officials.

The monthly salary of veterinarians is 1,000, which is comparable to that of officials with 400 stones.

All of them add up. I am afraid that Xinfeng will pay tens of thousands of dollars in just one month.

But this money should be spent, and it is worth it!

With them, Xinfeng's future animal husbandry industry has great potential.
