Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

In the camp in Yongcheng, Guo Xiaofeng was leaning on the pillars and watching the training of Shenji Battalion attentively. Ji Cheng was drinking from the teapot mouth to mouth. Our big knives are probably going to rust.

After this battle, Dazhao's military strength reached an unprecedented peak. The peak at this time is not the number of troops, but the fact that the famous generals of the previous generation of Dazhao have not yet aged, and the young generals of the next generation have already been able to take the lead.

There are also extremely lethal weapons. If the neighbors of Dazhao want to think about the war again, they have to weigh it.

"That's not true. In the end, people are still the ones who fight in the war," Ji Cheng said, "The nomads outside the Great Wall have always been tyrannical with force. Everyone, old and young, women and children, can join the war, but they don't know how to farm or make things, so they can only grab them and leave." .”

"A strong country depends on its national strength and its people's livelihood."

"You all know the meaning of the imperial edict." Guo Xiaofeng stood up and said, "If we want to invade the territory of Nanyu, we must take at least two important towns. Facing the shameless people is not enough to scare them, but also to make them hurt. They have learned in blood."

"Let them mention it, and Dazhao will know the pain."

In July, the Jokhang Army officially knocked on the gate of Nanyu. On July 26, the army captured the first big city of Nanyu, "Hanyang City".

The climate in Nanyu is different from that in the south of Dazhao. The whole country has a subtropical climate, and there are many mountains and forests in the territory that are never cold all year round.That's why Nanyu has never been short of food.

And the center of the Jokhang Kingdom is in the northern part of the Central Plains. Except for Jiangnan, rice is harvested once a year. If the year is not good, the people will not be able to eat enough.

Ji Cheng led his troops to visit all the big families in Hanyang City, not killing people or plundering, but only rushing for "money!"

The emerald green wine bottle was shining brightly in the sun, and Wu Qing exclaimed from the side: "I'm so obedient, how much money is this city lord greedy for?"

"That's it... This thing is called Liuli," Wu Qing held it in his hand carefully, and said with emotion: "I saw this thing once when the emperor was still a prince. I heard that this thing can sell for 1000 yuan a piece. Two! He actually has a set, twelve! How much does that cost!"

Ji Cheng glanced at him, and said in his heart: I have no experience!Isn't this just broken glass? According to him, this thing only costs five yuan a piece and can't be more.

It's a pity that he doesn't know chemistry, or he has to make a big box, which makes Xiao Linzi drop it every day.

They searched for a long time in the city lord's mansion, but they didn't see the shadow of the warehouse. Wu Qing managed to find the location of the warehouse after being intimidated by the butler, and opened the big iron gate. At least, no one in the warehouse spoke for a long time.

Even if Ji Cheng came from modern times and saw this scene, he couldn't help being amazed.

There were neatly stacked boxes in the warehouse, and after prying them open, they were all filled with gold and silver. There were many panicked footprints on the ground, and some scattered small boxes.

Presumably the more valuable things have been transported away, leaving only this heavy gold and silver that cannot be moved.

"Brother Ang, you go to Brother to get some people, don't make a fuss, you have to be reliable," Ji Cheng said.

There was still a pile of books scattered in the corner of the warehouse, Ji Cheng looked through it, and it turned out to be an account book.It turns out that the lord of Hanyang City has so many lands.

I have long heard that Nanyu can produce three crops of rice a year because of the hot and humid climate. The more Ji Cheng looks at the account book, the more frightened he is. Although their yield per mu is not high, the account book clearly shows that there are not only rice here, but also tea. .

There are also tea trees in Dazhao, but due to the lack of good tea-frying and tea-making techniques, most of the tea produced by themselves is mainly crude tea.One tael of tea is worth one tael of gold. It is rumored that the big tea households in Nanyu are extremely rich.

If you bring all these technologies to Dazhao, then...all of them are money!

In the end, this modest storeroom actually tapped out 20 taels of silver and 5 taels of gold.With so much money, it is enough to pay the army for a month.

Before Wu Qing finished expressing his feelings, Ji Cheng tied up a few servants and led a group of people straight out of the city.

Jia Ding guided them to a Zhuangzi. The Zhuangzi occupied a huge area, estimated to have several thousand mu of land. The Zhuangzi was surrounded by green hills on both sides. When you look closely, the mountains are full of tea trees.

This is a proper golden mountain.

The other side of the mountain is next to a river, and the downstream of the river is endless rice fields, and there are terraced fields halfway up the mountain, and the bright waterwheels are running.

Ji Cheng inquired, and there were at least five or six Zhuangzi like this in Han Yangcheng.If this is the way of farming in Nanyu, how rich it is.

How greedy is it that one's own country's farming is so developed, and it is still coveting the territories of other countries.

During this trip, Ji Cheng brought back more than 20 masters of tea picking and tea making, and more than a dozen long-term farm laborers from the village, and he even brought back their families.

And the waterwheel, he had someone dismantle it for two full days, and recorded the order of each part in detail before returning home from the villa.

When they went, there were more than 500 people, and when they came back, there were more than 100 crying and crying, and the soldiers were still carrying big guys.Guo Xiaofeng came out to see him when he heard the news, and asked curiously, "Ah Cheng, what are you doing with some farmers tied up?"

"Well..." Ji Cheng smiled complacently, and he said, "Don't look at the dirty peasants, they can be of great use."

He described what he saw to Guo Xiaofeng in detail, and Guo Xiaofeng changed his face after hearing it, and he said: "You are still a thief. A few days ago, you ransacked a big household in this city, how much pressure can be relieved by the household department."

"If bringing them back can really increase food production, Su Ming won't have to sacrifice you," Guo Xiaofeng sighed.

"The ancestors don't need it," Ji Cheng said: "Ending the war with war may be the best way to solve the war, but the people who have survived this war will probably be hungry. The people are already miserable. Lu, you can do something."

According to the march plan at the beginning, the army will continue to attack the hinterland of Nanyu.Now that Ji Cheng has thoughts in his heart, he plans to return to the capital early, and Guo Xiaofeng has nothing to disagree with.

With these months of continuous combat, the recruits have also grown into veterans. Although Ji Cheng is capable of individual combat, but now he is not much more than one more, so he sent [-] soldiers to escort him back with a big wave of his hand.

Five thousand soldiers and horses escorting one person may seem like a lot, but there are still many Nanyu stragglers stranded in Dazhao territory, so it is better to be cautious in case of accidents on the road.

Not only that, Guo Xiaofeng also asked his subordinates to dismantle all kinds of waterwheels in Hanyang City, including those by the river, on the mountains, and some other farming tools that Dazhao did not have.

And he also wanted to bring back some thoughts to Liang Ye. After thinking about it, he wrote a letter... He had wiped himself clean last time, and nothing else could be said as quickly as a firm embrace.

He simply folded the full-grained ears of wheat in the field, wrapped them in the middle coat he often wore, and packed them into a small package for Ji Cheng to hand over to the emperor.

It would take half a month to travel from the capital to Liangcheng. Ji Cheng and the others set off from Hanyang City, and there were many women, children, old and young in the team. It took almost a month to return to the capital.

The city gate is still the same city gate, and the vendors on the West Street are still the same. The scene that he was used to seeing in the past suddenly came into view, which made Ji Cheng feel sad immediately.

I don't know what his heart is doing right now.Ji Cheng didn't even go to the Ministry of War, he explained hastily, settled the peasants, and ran home at a trot.

When he ran to the gate of the Ji Mansion, he suddenly felt something was wrong.They came back in a hurry and did not send a letter to the capital, in case Xiao Linzi was not at home and went to the palace.

He immediately turned his head and ran towards the palace.He entered through the side door of the palace, and all the servants who passed by exclaimed, saying that they wanted to tell the prince, but Ji Cheng hurriedly stopped him: "Farewell, I will go find him by myself, where is the prince?"

Knowing that Lin You is in his yard, Ji Cheng's heart beats fast. It's been half a year since I saw him. Will he lose weight?Did the dimples on the face become deeper after losing weight?

How many days and nights in half a year, would Xiao Linzi think of himself and cry at night?

He ran fast, and before he had time to think, he had already stood at the gate of the courtyard. The familiar laughter in the courtyard was Xu Lian's, and the child with a milky voice was Xiao Huzi.

When he came to the house, he felt heavy on the soles of his feet, and his steps began to slow down.

The chicks that Lin You's caught grew fast, and he fed them well, each of them weighed almost a catty.The nanny sent by the palace had been dismissed by him long ago.

When Ji Cheng is not at home, his greatest pleasure every day is feeding the chickens. Lin You's belly is lightly pressed against the fence, with one hand on his hips and the other hand holding a scoop of bran. Don’t raise salty chickens that can’t lay eggs.”

"Salty chicken..." Xu Lian chuckled, the teasing words were on his lips, but he swallowed them back, and he swallowed them with a smile.

Before he could speak, Lin You suddenly turned around as if he had sensed something in his heart.There is a sloppy face under the moon gate, but you can still see a handsome man slowly walking towards him. This is not the face he thinks about day and night.

Lin You froze there, the ladle in his hand had already fallen to the ground, tears welled up his face in an instant, he shouted tremblingly: "Brother Cheng."

"Hey," Ji Cheng walked up to him and kept rubbing his face. Countless thoughts magnified at this moment. Ji Cheng held Lin You tightly in his arms and couldn't help but choked up and said, "Xiao Linzi ,I'm back."

Xu Lian, who was basking in the sun on the porch, had already left with the little tiger in his arms, and the rest of the servants also withdrew, leaving only the husband and wife in the yard.

After hugging Ji Cheng for a while, he still didn't feel it was enough, wishing to rub him into his flesh and blood, but the person in his arms stopped doing it first.Lin You pushed him lightly and said, "Brother Cheng, lighten up... stomach."

"What's wrong with your stomach?" Ji Cheng was thinking about it all the way here, after he's been away for half a year, this narrow-minded person must miss him as much as he wants.

Look down, okay!Good guy!He actually made himself so fat that he had a beer belly.

"Xiao Linzi, you..." Ji Cheng was also a little frightened, he hesitated and said, "My little ancestor, do you think your longing has turned into an appetite, why did you eat up your stomach?"

Lin You: ...a big fat piece of his feelings!
