Daqin Engineering Corps

Will the Qin army be attacked by barbarians when shepherding sheep here in the future?

Will they come to steal and rob sheep?

Or thought that the Qin army invaded their territory and then united...

Therefore, Wang Ben is more inclined to conquer these barbarians first, that is, to show them some color, let them know the strength of the Qin army and understand the consequences of offending the Qin army.

With this deterrence, it will be much more convenient to do anything else.

But Shen Bing thinks that the war is for profit, if there is no benefit or even harm, then why fight this war?

Wang Ben's statement may be right.

But what he said was all based on speculation.

Shen Bing believes that as long as the method is right, the Qin army may be able to live in harmony with these barbarians.

When I looked back at those barbarians, I found that they were eating the scallion pancakes left by Shen Bing, and they kept giving out bursts of praise, and their eyes were chasing Qin Jun behind... So Shen Bing knew that the first step was the most important step. Going right.

At least one thing Wang Ben is right.

When Qin Jun drove the first batch of [-] sheep into the pasture, the "savages" stared straight at them.

You must know that these "savages" live a life of drinking and drinking based on hunting. If you are lucky, you will have a full meal if you hunt some prey, and if you are unlucky, you will be hungry.

If there is breeding, it is only when live prey is occasionally shot and there is still food left, so it is kept in captivity.

But this situation is extremely rare. There are only dozens of them in the whole village, and they often disappear after winter.

Therefore, when the "savage" saw Qin Jun rushing to two thousand sheep...

It was like a person who had been hungry for a long time suddenly saw a group of delicious meat walking in front of him, so that many "savage" children were not afraid of Qin Jun approaching the flock, and looked at it with innocent and envious eyes. Almost drooling.

Several soldiers were about to go forward to drive them away, but they were stopped by Shen Bing.

Shen Bing jumped off the horse, and then took out the prepared scallion pancakes and distributed them to them while saying hello...

Bribing children is the best way to win people's hearts. Of course, Shen Bing will not let this opportunity go easily.

The parents rushed forward to take the child away in a panic, but they did not return the scallion pancakes.

Not only did he not return, but Shen Bing noticed that they shared the scallion pancakes after returning, and looked at Shen Bing and others with more kindness.

So Shen Bing knew that he was only one step away from success.

Shen Bing felt that these "savages" were very simple, and they were easily deceived by him.

Fortunately, I have no intention of them.

In this troubled world, such simple people and groups are not suitable for survival.

If it wasn't for them having nothing and nothing to use, I'm afraid they would have been eliminated by this world long ago.

Chapter 378 Misunderstanding

The Qin army stationed [-] soldiers in Xitao, mainly Hanoi soldiers, and added some new conscripts.

The so-called military service refers to the people whose household registration is in the North to perform military service in accordance with the laws of Qin, usually for one month every year.

During their service, basic military training and labor were carried out, such as building bridges and roads, managing rivers and canals, and transferring grain and water.

This is also called a change of service, and it is this change of service that Juezhi can't exempt.

Because labor is free, it is the obligation of every household registration person, and if the clothes are damaged during the labor period, you have to bear it yourself, so it will bring a lot of burden to the people.

But when it comes to the North Land under Shen Bing’s control, it becomes more humane:

Danfan only needs three sets of casual clothes to serve... Anyway, for Beidi, because it has entered mass production, clothes are no longer valuable things, but it is still very difficult for ordinary people to produce by themselves.

Therefore, this policy is very popular among the people, and some people are even willing to wear it several times, especially in autumn and winter... You can’t get three sets of clothes for a month of normal labor, so this is already a great value for money for the people. .

The reason why I prefer to serve in autumn and winter is because the clothes in autumn and winter are thicker.

Shen Bing didn't realize this problem at first, but he was right when he thought about it. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to serve in spring and summer?

Therefore, those who served in spring and summer added two sets.

This time, the people who served in the army were different. They were all happy and full of morale, no matter what they did, they tried their best to complete it, for fear that they would not have the opportunity to serve in the future if they made some mistakes.

But in Shen Bing's view, this labor is too cheap.

Because I calculated it before, the wages of a laborer should be at least 240 yuan a day, so it would be [-] yuan a month.

The five sets of summer clothes cost 225 renminbi at the market price, and with the free food during the service, the common people can earn an average of [-] renminbi per day.

What's more, the average food preference in the Northland is usually more than three dollars.

This is mainly because Shen Bing hopes that the people will be stronger so that they will be more effective when they join the army in the future.

But this is according to the common people's algorithm.

Shen Bing's algorithm... the cost of a set of summer clothes is only 75 yuan, and the cost of five sets is only 100 yuan, and the food is only more than 240 yuan. Compared with the price of [-] yuan for ordinary labor, it is natural quite cheap.

On the other hand, soldiers like Hanoi soldiers have to eat regardless of whether they work or not, and they also need to pay a certain amount of food according to their titles, so why not let them participate in labor in their free time?

As a result, grazing in mountainous areas and irrigation and water conservancy in Sichuan were carried out at the same time.

In addition, there is a large-scale construction of bridges and roads in Xitao... If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is an unchanging rule.

Because of the stability of the battle situation in Wuyuan, Shen Bing was able to withdraw and coordinate distribution in Xitao.

That day, when Shen Bing and Xu Ying were discussing how to open the canal and allow the soldiers to set up part of the fields to plant vegetables first, a few "savages" approached them.

The personal guards stopped them from a long distance, but Shen Bing still found them because the "savage" was too conspicuous in his attire.

After asking the guards to let them in, the "savage" gestured "eat" to Shen Bing, and shouted "Keku" while gesticulating.

Shen Bing didn't know what it meant at the beginning, but it took a while to understand that they couldn't forget the taste of scallion pancakes and came to ask him again!

Shen Bing was a little dumbfounded.

But this might be an opportunity...

Shen Bing raised his head in the direction of the soldiers who were planting vegetables in the field, then put the tools in their hands, and then took out the scallion pancakes and pointed at them.

The "savage" quickly understood that this was to make them work in exchange for scallion pancakes.

In fact, "savages" are not really "savages". They just live in a relatively primitive state. They live in caves or small tents built with fur and branches... just like the Indians.

After these "savages" understood, they immediately nodded and started working with tools.

However, the way they were working made Shen Bing frown. They dug indiscriminately. Although they were full of strength, they did not have the concept of loosening the soil and digging ditches.

Shen Bing asked them to teach them, but they just nodded "uh uh" for a while, and then dug again.

At this time, Shen Bing realized that it might be very difficult to convert them into farmland for farmers.

At the same time, I also understand why they can survive until now...

Before that, it was the Yuezhi and the Huns who ruled Hexi, and they were all slaves.

Even if these "savages" have no wealth at all, for a slave country, people are a kind of wealth.

But the premise is that these people are people who can communicate, obey the rules, and work.

But these "savages" seem to only know how to nomad and hunt in the mountains, and they don't know anything else... So it would be troublesome to capture them as slaves.

Just when Shen Bing felt a big headache, the female leader hurried over with a few people.

As soon as she came up, she shouted to Shen Bing angrily:

"Let them go!"

Shen Bing didn't understand what this meant at first.

After thinking about it, it turned out that the female leader misunderstood Shen Bing who arrested her and forced them to work.

Shen Bing didn't explain, just spread his hands.

He believed that the few "savages" who wanted "scallion pancakes" would naturally make it clear.

Sure enough, after the "savage" said a few times, the nervous and murderous eyes of the female leader eased down.

After a pause, she asked Shen Bing:

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Shen Bing didn't answer but instead asked:

"Do you know the Huns?"

"It's the people who were here before. They rode horses and shot arrows."

The female leader didn't understand at first, but quickly realized:

"You mean Chunwei?"

Uh... "savages" called the Xiongnu Chunwei.

Shen Bing nodded and said:

"We drove them away."

"So this is our territory, we can stay here as long as we want!"

The female leader only looked around Shen Bing, and said with disdain:

"Can you drive Chunwei away?"

"They were defeated by Yuezhi!"

"So this is not your territory."

It seems that the female leader has no idea what happened.

Shen Bing only asked back:

"Then why hasn't Yueshi come back?"

The female leader replied:

"They will!"

He said that he took the "savage" with him and left.

This experience at least made Shen Bing understand a few things.

One is that his original plan to let "savages" join the army of Tuntian may not work. Although Tuntian seems simple, it still has some skills, and "savages" seem to be incompetent.

The second is that the "savages" seem to think that the Yue clan is the most powerful, followed by "Chunwei", and finally they, the Qin army...

Shen Bing looked around in confusion, is Qin Jun so unbearable?

When he saw the rattan armor on his body, Shen Bing suddenly understood something.

Chapter 379 Intersection

The Xiongnu and Yuezhi are at least leather armored, and a few have bronze armors, and all of them ride horses.

Looking back at Qin Jun, what the hell is rattan armor?

It is the armor made of old rattan picked from the mountains. Can this also be used as equipment?

And most of them are infantry, and they also make a living by farming.

So of course there is no Xiongnu and Yueshi is not as powerful!

Shen Bing can only be scattered in the wind... He never thought that he would be despised by "savages".

But who cares, he has nothing to do with these savages anyway, so be despised if you are despised!

Shen Bing took a hard bite of the scallion pancake to comfort his wounded heart.

However, what Shen Bing did not expect was that Qin Jun and these "savages" did not have intersections.

On this day, Shen Bing commanded the second batch of sheep to be stationed, and the third batch of sheep entered the Hexi Corridor.

The breeding law of sheep is as follows:

Ewes have about three litters in two years, five litters in three years, and two to four ewes in one litter.
