Hanhou

Qin established Yuyang County, Han changed the county government, and its jurisdiction was later Tianjin.

Starting from Yunzhong County, you need to cross Dingxiang, Yanmen, Daijun and Shanggu, the distance is really not close.In order to save time, Peng Xiu used three horses to go back and forth, or stopped at shops in various counties, and then sent letters with birds.

Zhao Jia, as a lieutenant of Shaling County, was not allowed to leave the county for too long unless there was a war.But who asked Princess Yuyang to hold the emperor's secret edict and call him by name to see him.No matter how far the distance is, he has to pack up and set off quickly.

Returning to the livestock farm with the bamboo slips and wooden signboard, Zhao Jia found Uncle Xiong and told him that he would leave for a while and that the family affairs would be entrusted to the two for the time being.

"If you encounter something you can't solve, you can send people to the fortress to find the third son."

Nowadays, those who come to find trouble are basically for Xinyan.In such a situation, he can handle it, but the two old servants can't.The best solution is to ask Wei Yue for help.

As for favors and so on, anyway, I already owe a lot, so it's not bad this time.

"Mr. Lang is going to Yuyang?" Hearing that Zhao Jia was going on a long journey, Uncle Hu and Uncle Xiong both showed surprise and felt very sudden.

"Yes." Zhao Jia nodded, saying that the princess summoned her, so she must go.In addition, according to the original plan, the Yuyang Salt Farm should also start construction, which happened to be resolved by the way.

"It's a long way to go, Mr. Lang needs to bring more guards." Hu Bo said.

"Wei Shijun has made arrangements." Zhao Jia said.

Wei Taishou not only gave him bamboo slips and wooden plaques, but also a list.All the veterans on the list will serve as guards this time and go to Yuyang with him.

The reason why these people were arranged was not only to ensure safety on the way, but also to remind Mrs. Zhao, don't underestimate Zhao Jia just because he is young, and don't think about making trouble in your own territory.

Cooperation with each other, mutual benefit, naturally hello, hello, hello, everyone.Dare to play the trick of stabbing in the back again, not to mention the newly arrived Princess Yuyang, Wei Taishou will never stop with them.

In addition to the manpower arranged by Wei Taishou, Zhao Jia also planned to bring Ji Bao Ji Xiong, and another [-] more soldiers.These soldiers have all followed him out of the fortress, they are trustworthy, and they are also very skilled. They are all candidates for future soldiers.

Take this opportunity to let them learn more from the veterans in the team.

Thirty veterans are all elites in all battles. They have been born and died with Wei Shang, and they will kill them if they do it.Seven or eight of the most elite, one can fight two or three cloud riders, and never lose the wind, they can be called real humanoid weapons.

It is reported that the pawns who were circled by the king's book were trained by these elites after they became regular pawns.

Regarding the training method, Master Wang knew the part, and shared a few words with Zhao Jia as much as he could.After hearing it, Zhao Jia's only feeling was that his scalp was numb.This kind of training method is no longer military training in the ordinary sense, it is completely about rubbing hands!

In addition, Master Wang told Zhao Jia that this method is not uncommon and it was useless before. One is that although the frontier army is strong, there is a limit after all. ; Secondly, and the most important reason, money and food in the county are limited.

No matter which dynasty, the army is a big money swallower.

Even if there is a good method of training troops, it is useless if the logistics cannot keep up.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia produced new salt, and within a few months, the treasury became full.Wei Taishou asked Chang'an for instructions, and with the permission of Emperor Jing, the county arsenal quickly recruited a group of craftsmen and began to manufacture weapons and armor in large quantities, and even some horse armor.

At the same time, Chen Wu, Marquis of Tangyi, received the order from the emperor, hurriedly made new harnesses and sent them to Yunzhong as quickly as possible.

With sufficient military expenditures, Yunzhong County became a war machine and began to rumble.

With the arrival of Princess Yuyang, most of the taxes in the fief will be donated, and sent to the border counties via Chang'an as a supplement to military expenses.

In the secret edict of the emperor, the salt fields in the east and west of Liaodong will also be included.

It doesn't take long, with the benefit of Xinyanhe Military Market and Hu City, the border counties will gradually start to function, building an unbreakable line of defense to resist and even attack the grassland.

According to Wei Shang's suggestion, Zhao Jia mastered the key points and made sufficient preparations for the trip to Yuyang.

It was obvious that Princess Yuyang wanted to see him, but in fact, it was Emperor Jing who was really standing behind.

Be nervous, be nervous, you must do what you have to do, and you can't rot in your stomach.

He doesn't have enough official titles and titles, so he can't directly report to the emperor. The trip to Yuyang is a rare opportunity to reveal to Chang'an, especially the future Emperor Wu of Han, that there are many ways to raise military expenditures, and the common people who are farming are severely taxed. The next policy.

"Lang Jun, take us with you."

Zhao Puonu and Wei Qing approached Zhao Jia, hoping to join the traveling team.

"Go together?" Zhao Jia thought for a while, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, after the autumn harvest, there will be no major events in the farm, so call A Xin and A Ao, get ready, and go to Yuyang with me."

"promise!"

Zhao Puonu and Wei Qing were overjoyed, and told Gongsun Ao and Zhao Xin the good news later.

The team was going through Yanmen County, Zhao Jia wanted to meet Liu Rong, and immediately called Yun Tao, and told him to go home and ask his parents if he wanted to deliver a letter to Yun Mei, or set out with the team.

Hearing this, Yun Tao's eyes lit up, and his expression was full of excitement.

"My lord, can I go too?"

"Of course." Zhao Jia leaned over and patted Yun Tao's hair, "I can go. But I want you, Aunt and Aunt, to nod."

"Thank you sir!"

Yun Tao was in a hurry to go home and ask his parents. He was a little out of his mind all afternoon, sending the camel's food to the cowshed, and collided with A Ying who was carrying the fodder.

The latter bared his teeth in dissatisfaction and waved his fist.Grabbed by the neckline by Zhao Puonu, he finally hummed twice, accepted Yun Tao's apology, pulled up the trailer, turned around and left.

Thirty veterans came from the county town, and Zhao Jia was busy preparing what he needed on the way, temporarily settling them in the livestock farm, and when everything was ready, they could leave at any time.

Mrs. Sun and the women rushed to prepare dry food and cook jerky.

For the convenience of traveling, Zhao Jia ordered people to open a granary, take the ground rice noodles, knead the noodles with eggs, make a large amount of noodles, boil them in water and fry them in oil.The finished product is dried and brewed in boiling water. There are not too many seasonings. Add some new salt and spicy sauce. Even the soup with noodles is very filling and tastes good.

"It's better than noodles." After tasting the Yi noodles of the Western Han Dynasty, several veterans smacked their lips, feeling a little unsatisfied.He simply surrounded the pot with empty bowls, and within a short time, three bowls of noodle soup were eaten.

The noodles in their mouth can be traced back to the period of Gaozu, and it is a kind of military ration invented by the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Flour is battered and steamed to make large noodle cakes.The noodles are cut into strips, and the soldiers carry them with them. When they eat, they are boiled with water, which can keep them full.It's too late, just eat it dry, it can also fill your stomach.

Without the seasoning of later generations, the taste of this military ration is naturally a little bland.However, given the conditions at the time, feeding the army was the most important thing, and no one could not think about it and focus on the taste.

Compared with the noodles, the Yi noodles are fried and can be stored for a longer time.In addition, regardless of the cost, Zhao Jia added eggs to the noodles, even if there is only salt and sauce, the taste is quite good.

As for fried food being unhealthy, Zhao Jia shrugged his shoulders and said that discussing this issue in the Western Han border county where the yield of two stones per mu and food problems is a problem is pure hooliganism.

Yimian came out, and the first batch of noodles soon fell into the stomachs of everyone.

After Zhao Jia finished a bowl, he felt that the taste was still lacking.Seeing a pheasant with colorful feathers flying out from behind the half-person-high wooden fence, his eyes lit up immediately, and he clenched his left hand and knocked on the palm of his right.

How could he forget this!

"Mrs. Sun!"

Zhao Jia put down the bowl, walked up to Mrs. Sun in three steps at a time, and said so and so and so and so.Ms. Sun nodded solemnly, went to the chicken coop, grabbed five fat chickens, cleaned them up, added large pieces of pork bones, and started to boil the broth.

The cooked broth is taken out and cooled, then condensed into lumps and stored in jars.As the weather turns cooler, it can be stored for a long time.The taste of the Yi noodles added to the broth is even better.

The women picked up the long chopsticks, picked up the fried noodles, and put them on a wooden plate.

At first, the dough was of different sizes and did not look very pretty.As the fried dough gets more and more proficient, the fried noodle cakes are close to round and the weight is very close. Grab a piece and just soak a bowl.

The flavor of Yi noodles added to the broth is tangy, especially for teenagers and children.

For the convenience of carrying, Zhao Jia asked someone to make a rattan box, padded it with a thin cloth, and stacked the dried noodles layer by layer.

In addition, Ji Bao and Ji Xiong specially went to the county town to bring back two carts of sauce.The pottery pot containing the sauce was unopened, so it was sent directly to the carriage, ready to take it with us on the road.

In addition to the noodles, the women also prepared a lot of scones, buns and dried meat, as well as a lot of dried vegetables and sunflowers.Air-dried chicken and duck are put into sacks, which are prepared in advance and can be eaten directly without heating.

Then there was the less successful ham, and wild fruits in syrup in clay pots.

Seeing a large amount of food being delivered to the carriage, everyone in the livestock farm was not surprised, it was not unusual.Thirty veterans from the county town stared like copper bells.Not to mention they have tasted these foods, some of them have never seen them at all.

The rations on the road were almost prepared, so Zhao Jia went to the doctor to prepare some necessary medicines.Before he could open his mouth, the doctor pointed to the rattan basket and wooden box in the corner and told him that things had already been prepared.

"This is medicine for wounds. The ointment and powder are for external use."

"These bottles are all pills, which can relieve pain and fever."

"You must take care of these gentlemen." The doctor took up two pots and solemnly handed them in front of Zhao Jia. "The pots are highly poisonous, and the throat is sealed with blood. It took a lot of effort to find all these poisonous snakes."

The doctor enthusiastically introduced the ingredients of the poison, and instructed Zhao Jia how to feed poison to the arrows, and how long before the arrows were smeared, the effect would be better.

"It can be used for attacking enemies, but not for hunting." The doctor warned, "The poison is too strong, I'm afraid it will poison people."

Holding two clay pots, Zhao Jia nodded dumbly.

The medical craftsmen of the Western Han Dynasty really had character!

The guy from Yanmen County studies thousands of cuts all day long, and devotes himself to the cause of anatomy; the guy in front of him handles drug production and pharmaceuticals with both hands, both hands are very strong, and he is clearly making great strides in the direction of "poisons can't be separated".

Looking for such a doctor to see a doctor, the psychological endurance is almost low. It is estimated that the disease has not been cured, and the person has already collapsed in advance.

With all the rations and medicines ready, Xiong Bo led his men to beat and beat the cart.

From the outside, it is just an imitation of Anche, adding four walls and a roof, nothing surprising.

Open the door, there is really something different inside.

A small square table is fixed on the car board and can be pressed down when not in use.A wooden box is inlaid on the wall of the car, which contains warm clothes.The car boards are covered with bear skins, and one sheet is not enough, so there are three sheets.There are also two duvets, enough to keep you warm at night.

In addition, the roof of the car can prevent rain and snow. Zhao Jia specially watered it, and it can block 100% of the rainstorm.

The entourage also had carts and tents to rest in. In addition to the animal skins to keep out the cold, there were also thick quilts made out of it.

Since the journey was not short and there were quite a few people accompanying him, Zhao Jia also brought a few more carts of new salt, some as a gift, and the other part to be sold along the way.

Seeing the carts filled up one by one, the veterans from the county went from being surprised to getting used to it, until they were able to take it calmly when Zhao Jia came up with anything, and went through a complicated mental journey.

With the last few carts ready, Zhao Jia sent letters to Wei Taishou and Wei Yue respectively, and entrusted the affairs of the official temple to the county magistrate, and said goodbye to everyone in the livestock farm, and set off for Yuyang.

The team left Shaling County and entered Dingxiang eastward.

Due to the fine weather, the convoy did not stop halfway, and everyone took turns getting into the carriage to rest. It took two-thirds of the expected time to pass through Dingxiang County and enter Yanmen County.

According to the original plan, Zhao Jia went to visit Liu Rong.I didn't think of the place, and was told that Liu Rong had rushed to Yuyang a few days ago.

Since the real master is not around, Zhao Jia will leave Yuntao behind for a while, let him meet Yunmei, and pick him up again on the way back. On the same day, he organizes a team to set off and continue to Yuyang.

When entering Daijun, the cold wind came from the north, and heavy snow fell from the sky.

The team was blocked by the wind and snow, so they could only seek shelter from the wind to camp.

The scouts who explored the road ahead did not return, Zhao Jia felt uneasy, and took people to look for it himself.After traveling for several miles, Han Qi was dug out of the snow, which was seriously injured and unconscious.

"You still have gas, take it back!"

Finding that the scout was still alive, the group hurried back to the camp and placed them in the carriage.

Seeing the removed arrow, Zhao Jia frowned.

Those who use this kind of bone arrow are either Hu Qi or the Huns!
