Chapter 731 The idea of ​​building roads

"Only twenty?" Qin Yang seemed a little dissatisfied.

Cheng Yaojin immediately called out poorly and said: "Your Majesty, twenty is already a lot! The sled is easy to make, but the dog that pulls the cart is hard to tame! Here in the new third district, we managed to get 100 of them by patchwork. Some of the dogs died on the way, and there were only four hundred or so that were raised. Even if two dogs pull one sled, they can only make up two hundred. Usually, three dogs pull one. Then there are only more than 100. These more than [-] sleds are busy transporting things every day and taking people to patrol, my lord, I can only spare [-] for you at most!"

In fact, Qin Yang was quite satisfied with the twenty sledges, he didn't bring many people this time, after all, he didn't intend to leave the two checkpoints to go outside.

He only intends to take a turn in the "protected area". The people he brings are all carrying muskets on their backs, pistols on their waists, and one person has two grenades on their waists. It can be said that even if they encounter enemies by accident , as long as it is not a large army invasion, his people are enough to kill several times more enemies.

Besides, even if we really encountered a large enemy force, how could a war horse outrun a sled pulled by big dogs on the snow?
In terms of balance, there is no comparison.

So Qin Yang had only brought dozens of people this time, and these twenty sledges were enough.

"Then twenty fights." Qin Yang thought for a while, then nodded.

"However, this is not urgent. First, go and see the soldiers and ask them if they are satisfied with the wool boots. The first boots were made for each army. Most of the other armies are northerners who are used to winter. Know how to keep warm. Only the people you bring, most of whom are not from the north, how to keep warm in this winter, I still have to ask and take a look, so I can rest assured."

Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo had asked for their warm "suits" to be handed out a long time ago.

So when he heard what the king said, he took people around and asked some soldiers.

These soldiers, without exception, had woolen boots on.

He was also wearing a wool coat, which looked warm.

Qin Yang asked a few people and got a good idea. It seemed that even people who came to the north from other places would not feel too cold when wearing such an outfit. The woolen boots were indeed warm and they did not feel cold when walking. bulky.

It's just that the woolen coat is slightly inferior to the woolen boots.

It's not that it's not warm, it's really warm, but the wool coat will be a bit heavy.

Of course, these things that are regarded as shortcomings in Qin Yang's eyes are nothing in the eyes of those soldiers.Isn't it just a little heavier?Can it be heavier than armor?

Now that there is no need to fight, you can wear a thick woolen coat in winter, woolen socks, woolen boots, and a woolen sweater inside. This is the life of the nobles, right?
In the end, such a day was actually lived by this group of soldiers?A few years ago, they would have never dared to think about it!

After turning around, Qin Yang bid farewell to Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo and left.

There were two people sitting on each of the twenty sleds.

In front of them were three big dogs pulling sleds at an extremely fast speed. They quickly led people out of the new third area and headed for the first checkpoint.

Because the sled was being pulled on the snow, these dogs were all as strong as calves, so it was effortless to pull two people up.

Not only was it effortless, Qin Yang also felt that these dogs were quite happy, and the feeling of pulling the sled was more like having fun.

A guard sitting with Qin Yang was holding the rein in his hand. Because of the cold wind blowing in front of him, he didn't dare to open his mouth to speak on the road. He couldn't help but say to Qin Yang: "My lord, new The dogs here in District [-] are so nice!”

Yes, it is really good!
Originally, Qin Yang swore to Cheng Yaojin and the others that he did not want their dogs.

But that was before seeing the group of dogs, after seeing the group of dogs, and after personally experiencing the power of the group of dogs pulling the sled, his eyes turned green when he looked at these big dogs.

What a group of strong and obedient dogs!

Even before they borrowed it, the dog trainer gave them an order, and then gave them some instructions to the people who borrowed the sled. Along the way, these big dogs were very obedient.

If it can be brought back to Youzhou County, it will be much easier to use such a big dog to pull a sled when it is snowing than a donkey.

At least you don’t have to worry about these big dogs pulling on the ground and suddenly their feet slip and the sled overturns, right?

Anyway, no matter how you think about it, I think these dogs are really good.

"Your Majesty, when you get back, why don't you ask them where they got the dogs? If they are reluctant to give them big dogs, we can raise some puppies ourselves! By the way, send us one or two dog trainers. Talent, this way, we don't have to keep an eye on their big dogs." The guard greedily gave Qin Yang an idea.

Qin Yang felt that this was indeed a solution.

He nodded and said, "Yes."

After resting for a while, we were on our way again.

Soon, they reached the first checkpoint, where they rested for a night.

Turn around and go to the second level.

When it came to the second checkpoint, the snow that had stopped for two days began to fall again.

As a last resort, they spent the next few days here at the second level.

Standing outside the fence of the checkpoint, looking at the white snow outside, Qin Yang thought deeply.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about building a road again?" The guards who had been following him were actually a little aware of Qin Yang's thoughts and knew that the King had always wanted to build a road to the Black Water.

No, not only Heishui, the king is actually eyeing the land over there.

It's just that in the past, because the road was difficult to walk and the direction was difficult to distinguish, even if they were eyeing the land over there, transportation was a problem.

Even if the food is grown there, the cost of transporting it back is a problem.

In the wild, there is no post station or anything like that. People come and go, it is really dangerous.

There are quite a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards in the wild. If you really want to grow crops on the land there, first, let the court build a city there, and second, build a road leading there.

If a concrete road leading to Heishui can be built, the round-trip time can be saved a lot. Even if something really happens, the troops can be quickly dispatched and increased.

However, this is no small matter.

So even Qin Yang hesitated.

The guard's question brought Qin Yang back to his senses.

Qin Yang didn't say yes or no, but asked the guard directly: "Do you think those alien races staying in Heishui can be tamed if they are allowed to live and work in peace and have fields to grow?"
