Go to ancient times and engage in construction

On the day of the winter solstice, before dawn, the gate of the Nanbu Governor's Mansion was wide open. There was a four-wheeled carriage and six other ordinary carriages at the gate. The ordinary carriage was full of tributes to be dedicated to Lord Ulsan.Next to the carriage were a dozen guards of the council house riding miscellaneous horses.

Although the guards rode a miscellaneous group of bad horses, they all had a smug face, as if the dicks of the later generations were driving a BMW.There is no horse production in the Dacheng area, and all horses have to be bought from other places. At this time, the most powerful military unit of the air force is the cavalry. When buying horses, it is easy to buy some poor-quality miscellaneous horses, but it is not easy to obtain some strong horses, because the princes who produce horses are very strict in control. The strength of the vassal states.

There are not many countries with good horses in the vassal states of the Great Qin Dynasty. Only Zhao State and Yan State in the far north have a large number of good horses, while Wu State only has landed horses from Beihou, which is close to Zhao State.In countries with horses like Chu or Qilu, the quality of the horses is not good. They are just ordinary horses that can travel and carry goods, and are not suitable for cavalry mounts.

At the border checkpoints of the vassal states, how many horses the merchants pass through the checkpoints can only be this number when they leave. In order to bring good horses out of the horse-producing countries, some smart businessmen secretly bribe the border checkpoint Huben, and return ordinary horses The number of horses entering and leaving the customs is the same, but the quality is changed. The merchants transport the good horses to Nanbu and sell them to the governor's office at a high price, earning a huge difference. The more than 200 good horses in Nanbu are like this owned.

Zhao Guo, the only country in the Great Qin that produces good horses secondarily, has very strict border checkpoint control. It is not feasible for merchants to exchange ordinary horses for good horses to exit the border of Zhao State. The two countries, Qilu, and the border huben officers of these two countries are very corrupt. Merchants use coins to open up the joints and open the road for horse trading in Nanbu.

After doing business for a long time, some businessmen felt that the cost of exchanging ordinary horses for good horses was too high, so they increased bribes to the officers of the border huben and used cheap mules as miscellaneous horses to enter the country. When the people saw the questioning, they were beaten up by the tiger on the border. They didn't stop until the questioner admitted that the mule was a horse. Therefore, the people in the land of Qilu often used the metaphor of "referring to a mule as a horse" to turn black and white and confuse right and wrong. In the 21st century, the idiom of "referring to a deer is a horse" was indirectly lost by Zheng and Chu.

Nanbu bought horses from all over the country. The good horses were allocated to the cavalry, the miscellaneous horses were allocated to the valley patrol, Nanbu Governor's Office and the Public Security Bureau, and the lowest low-quality horses were used for transportation and freight.The horses ridden by the guards of Nanbu Governor's Mansion are considered to be good horses among the miscellaneous horses, and the mounts of ordinary nobles in Dacheng are no more than that, so the guards are so proud.

On the morning of the winter solstice, the temperature is extremely low, and the wet road is frozen hard. The guards in front of the Nanbu Governor's Mansion are dressed in the same style as the clothes of later generations. Sheepskin jackets, rough sheepskin gloves on hands, straight-leg cotton trousers on the lower body, and leather knee pads on the knees. Facing the low temperature of minus six or seven degrees, none of them felt cold.The clothes they wear are issued by the governor's office, and they don't need to pay for it themselves.

The guards didn't wait long at the gate. Wei Qing and Huo Sihua led their horses out of the mansion first. The two got on the horses outside the mansion. Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui walked out of the gate side by side in festive dresses and got on four rounds. carriage.

The convoy in front of the Governor's Mansion slowly drove out of Nanbu Village. At this time, the sky in the east was slightly white. Nanbu Village woke up from a deep sleep and began to hear human voices. No. After the soldiers get up, they will do morning exercises.

From the moment Zheng Yuming got into the car, he turned his face to the window and the back of his head to Chu Chaohui.

"Yu Ming, are you still angry with me?" Chu Zhaohui grabbed Zheng Yuming's hand and rubbed it together, Zheng Yuming couldn't pull it back even if he wanted to.

Zheng Yuming turned his head and gave Chu Chaohui a sideways glance, and continued to look away from the window, thinking that Su's wife would find the stain on the bed and the changed underwear when she came into his room to clean up later, Zheng Yuming's face couldn't help getting hotter .

"You're not really angry with me, are you?" Chu Zhaohui raised Zheng Yuming's hand to his mouth and began to bite.

"Let go!" Zheng Yuming wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Chu Zhaohui.

"Don't let it go, I like this hand, I like it very much." Chu Chaohui looked at Zheng Yuming with a smile while gnawing, and there was a pun in his words.

Zheng Yuming woke up this morning and found himself being hugged tightly by Chu Chaohui, with one hand still holding Chu Chaohui's desire.It turned out that Chu Chaohui was holding his hand to make a massage stick.Under Chu Chaohui's insistence, the two of them did backhand work early in the morning.

"You..." Zheng Yuming blushed even more after Chu Chaohui said this, and now Zheng Yuming's white and greasy face was as gorgeous as rouge.

Seeing this, Chu Zhaohui couldn't bear it anymore, dragged Zheng Yuming into his arms, and kissed him without thinking.

Outside the four-wheeled carriage was the cold, windy and harsh winter, and inside the carriage was the warm spring, the two had been intimacy for a long time, and Chu Chaohui reluctantly let go of Zheng Yuming, who was about to participate in the wax festival, and Chu Chaohui couldn't The two looked messy.

"Yu Ming, I miss you so much." Chu Zhaohui murmured while touching Zheng Yuming's face.

"Chaohui, me too." Zheng Yuming felt the calluses on Chu Chaohui's palms on his face, and couldn't help feeling sore. His eyes were blue from being busy with people's livelihood and the economy in Nanbu, and Chu Chaohui, who trained soldiers in the valley, was no better than him. How easy is it? Zheng Yuming remembers that when the two of them were first teleported to Daqin, Chu Chaohui's palms didn't have any calluses at all. In less than two years, these hands were as hard as iron plates, and the palms and fingers The extra calluses are also thick.

Zheng Yuming's rare revealing of his true feelings caused Chu Chaohui's heart to rush. He hugged Zheng Yuming tightly in his arms, resting his chin on Zheng Yuming's forehead, and they hugged each other quietly.

The road from Nanbu to Houpo is very smooth, and the snow on it has been cleared away by Ambassador Wu long ago. The four-wheeled carriage drove smoothly and quickly on it. After passing the Houpo checkpoint, the road surface became uneven. Also bumped up.

"We need someone to repair this section of the road." Zheng Yuming pushed Chu Chaohui away and sat up straight.

"Isn't it possible to count on Wei Shen?" Wei Shen's main energy is now on military expansion, the paper mill has just made a profit, and Wei Shen's budget is very tight.

Zheng Yuming nodded: "More than half of this road is used by us in Nanbu, why don't we pay for it to repair it. This way we can give Wei Shen a favor, and we can also arrange extra labor, so that those people can't be idle, and their problems can be solved. Living problems can also prevent them from famine and trouble.”

At the end of last year, there was a severe drought in the central and northern part of the Qin Dynasty, and winter came early. Many vassal states were hit by disasters. Some nobles in the vassal states refused to reduce taxes. Many farmers who had reduced production did not even pay enough for food and clothing. The land became theirs. Many farmers secretly abandoned their homes and fled to other places to find ways to survive.At the end of the year, a large number of refugees fleeing famine and tax evasion flooded into Nanbu and Dacheng. Now the fields are frozen, and the refugees cannot reclaim wasteland. The industries in Nanbu and Dacheng cannot arrange so many labor forces. To be able to survive, Zheng Yuming built straw huts for these refugees to live in, and at the same time tried his best to build infrastructure in Nanbu, and arranged for these refugees to work and earn meager wages in exchange for rations and clothes, so that the refugees could survive the cold winter safely.If the refugees are not properly resettled, there will be more refugees suffering from hunger and cold, and it is hard to predict what will happen if their lives are threatened.

"You still have a way." Chu Zhaohui has full appreciation for Zheng Yuming in his eyes. If he is allowed to do the people's livelihood economy that Zheng Yuming is in charge of, Chu Zhaohui thinks that he can do half as well as Zheng Yuming.On the contrary, if Zheng Yuming went to train the army instead, it would be half the effort.

"This is not my solution. Anyone who knows something about economics will understand." Zheng Yuming was a little embarrassed by Chu Chaohui's praise.

"I want to equip you with a bodyguard. That big bull is a good candidate."

"Daniu is a strong man, wouldn't it be better to go to the army?"

Chu Chaohui shook his head: "Daniu can be a bodyguard, but he can't be a good soldier."

"Why?" Zheng Yuming was surprised.

"That big bull is big and thick, and his explosive power is scary, but his stamina is not good. It turns out that another way I want to win him in the game is to consume his physical strength." Chu Chaohui had two plans when dealing with Daniel in Wu Wangdu.

"That's right, the big cow is not quick to move." Zheng Yuming couldn't help nodding when he recalled the 'dong dong' sound of the big cow walking.

Chu Chaohui couldn't help laughing when he thought of Daniel smashing the stone slabs with his palm: "A soldier is not a good soldier, but a bodyguard is good. One is that he has a strong body that can help you block arrows, and the other is that he has strength in his hands that can shoot away sneak attackers." .”

"Well, let's use Daniel as a bodyguard. With his appearance, he can bluff people." Zheng Yuming agreed to accept Daniel as his personal bodyguard. Now the number of people coming and going in Nanbu has become complicated, and he has to be closely guarded by bodyguards. Safety. "That middle-aged man who came with Daniel, what are your plans?"

"If that middle-aged man passes the inspection, I'm going to use it a lot." Chu Chaohui has always wanted to establish an intelligence department like the one in later generations, but apart from Yu Kui, there is no other candidate. After the vassal kingdom, Chu Chaohui moved his mind.

"Well, it would be great if there were more talents like Yu Kui." Zheng Yuming sighed again, Yu Kui's defection was a very lucky thing for them.

The waiters and servants in the Ulsan Lord’s Mansion have been busy all day for the wax festival. The chef Tian in the kitchen was not allowed to leave work until after Xu time to go home. To the back door of an exquisite courtyard.When he touched the back door, he found that there was no latch on the back door, it was just concealed. He couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart, that today he could kiss Fangze again.

Chef Tian touched the bounty in his bosom, and couldn't help but start to imagine that his sweetheart has become more and more gentle towards him recently. If he saves more money and works harder in bed, his sweetheart might agree to become a couple with him.
