The village was destroyed, and the Uman woman and her children without a house or food were harder to catch than a wild boar in the jungle.
Mainly because they no longer trust any man.
However, the food in the forest in winter is not that rich. The wolves, leopards, bears and so on in the forest are always hungry. With no other choice, they approached those Tang people with the attitude of eating a meal or dying.
.
After drinking a meal of scalding thick porridge, some brave old women lay on the ground and opened their legs to the Tang army who was distributing the food. They also took the initiative to hide the young women and children who were all dirty.
Seeing this scene, even the Tang army, who prided themselves on plundering their enemies, couldn't stand it and told them that if they wanted to sleep, they should go to the bamboo building that had been built over there.
The military wool blankets produced by Chang'an Cotton Textile Factory No. 2 are not only made of solid materials, but also durable. When soldiers go out on an expedition, each person will be given a blanket like this. When it rains or snows, they can not only keep warm when it rains or snows, but they are also durable.
It is said that it can also provide shelter from rain and wind.
Even the soldiers themselves cherished such a blanket. Now, each of the women and children has one such precious blanket.
It's a pity that no one was willing to use this blanket. The women entered the Hsinchu Building obediently with their children. They would rather shiver around the fire pit than use their new blanket. However, their eyes never left her.
blanket.
They also had a pot, a real iron pot. The iron pot was placed on the fire pit of the bamboo house. The golden millet porridge inside was bubbling. Tang Jun gave each of them a bamboo spoon, so
, ten women and children in a building gathered around the fire pit, digging millet porridge from the iron pot with bamboo spoons to drink. However, it seemed that such a pot of millet porridge could never be finished, and the women were always going endlessly.
Add water inside.
Thousands of strong men brought farm tools and animals to help them level the fields and repair waterways. Within three to five days, a village that was much better than the one they lived in before appeared in front of them.
The village is actually a small camp with a tall wooden fence outside to protect them from wild beasts. The bamboo house is surrounded by small reclaimed fields and small fields. Because of the river mud, when the weather gets warmer,
You can plant seeds inside.
As for the outside of the village, there are large tracts of land that have been leveled. As long as it is managed well, it will definitely become fertile farmland in a few years.
The men came to work during the day and went to the military camp at night. After making sure that these men would not harm themselves, the women dared to walk out of the bamboo buildings. As for the children who had lost their parents, they had already
Got to know Tang Jun who was involved in farming.
"These bamboo buildings will be ours from now on."
"That nice blanket is ours too."
"Iron pot? The elder brother said he gave it to us. He also said that after the officials arrive, we will also be given seeds, and there will be two cows for each village..."
After listening to the words of the children, even the stupidest woman will ask - why?
The child looked at Tang Jun who was working outside and said: "They said that we will be Tang people in the future. They also said that they want me to grow strong, make more food for the family, and get some money to buy knives.
Armor, I can also become a soldier in the future.
The soldiers are just like them."
The women looked at each other and could hardly believe what the children said.
Yun Chu didn't care what these women and children thought.
He was proceeding step by step according to the plan. There was no need for them to be grateful for giving them benefits. Besides, such gratitude would only bring trouble to him without any benefit.
His army was basically spread out on a horizontal line, advancing side by side, no more than thirty miles wide, and it overlapped with the locust-like path of Yun Jin and others.
The Wuman people's villages are located on both sides of the Bo Road, and the deepest village is no more than twenty miles away from the main road.
The distance of twenty miles in the mountains is very far, very far. Sometimes you can see a village with your eyes, but if you want to walk there, you need to walk for three to five days.
Humans are social animals, and exchange of materials is a survival instinct. No matter how far away the place is, it is inconvenient to exchange materials, and there is no value in living.
It is not that there are no people living in the depths of the forest, but after careful calculation, they are all a group of savages who were born and raised by nature. They are real savages and cannot communicate with the Tang people or Wuman people at all.
For people like that, let them continue to grow freely in the forest. Yunchu currently does not have the ability to change certain tribes from primitive society to feudal society at once.
Yun Chu came riding an elephant. The bay-red horse ran back and forth around the elephant. Compared with the elephant, its body was just like a dog.
The female elephant he rode was very obedient and never went to the edge of the cliff. Even if her butt was chewed by the bay horse, she was not angry. One time, she even pooped a lot of feces on the bay horse's head.
Since then, the bay horse's habit of sniffing other people's butts has completely disappeared.
"This village currently houses 1,300 people, mainly women and children, with 27 old men and women. There are 150 bamboo buildings set up, and three fertile fields are cultivated along both sides of the river.
Thousand acres, 628 acres of irrigated fields, the number of dry fields has not yet been reached, and some trees need to be burned down.
According to the instructions of the commander-in-chief, after conducting an investigation, the general and others concluded that this No. 1 village has the potential to be developed into a city, mainly because there are six villages within a radius of less than ten miles from this village."
Yun Chu glanced at the map the general sent him and pointed to the gentle slope on the right side of the river bank: "Where is the place where you want to burn forests to create farmland?"
The staff general clasped his fists and said: "Exactly, I decided to burn the wasteland there after listening to the words of the Wu barbarians. They said that good crops can grow in the land where the trees are burned."
Although there are tangled tree roots underneath such burned land, which are not easy to get out from geography, but considering that the working method of the people here is slash-and-burn farming, they can rest assured that this is their life.
It will be improved.
"Boom, boom, boom." Several muffled sounds came from the distant mountains and forests, which should have been caused by the explosion of gunpowder bombs.
Seeing Yunchu looking for the source of the sound, the staff general immediately said: "In the mountains and forests, there are soldiers hunting, mainly targeting wild boars, especially small wild boars. After catching them, they will be given to these women to raise.
Speaking of which, these women have an incomprehensible fanaticism about raising pigs."
The elephant's walking speed was not slow. It didn't take much time for Yun Chu to finish visiting the No. 1 village. Yun Chu was quite satisfied with the things here.
However, Li Yuance and Jiang Xie, who came back from inspections in other places, were very, very dissatisfied, especially with Yun Chu's generous general who gave the blankets and iron pots used by the generals in vain to those useless women. They even felt that Yun Chu
This is aiding the enemy.
After listening to Li Yuance's opinion, Yun Chu said with a smile: "I'm a petty person. The key to giving gifts is to flood them with water. You have to soak the recipient thoroughly in one go. The gift you give can only wet the ground a little, so it's better not to do it at all."
deliver."
Li Yuance said: "Commander, a certain family can't think of a reason to give gifts to these Wubarians."
Yun Chu glanced at Li Yuance. He originally wanted to say that he was his father, Li Xiaogong. When he saw that Li Yuance's eyes were about to burst into flames, he smiled and said, "Because we not only want the land here, but also the people here and everything here."
"In the Tang Dynasty, there were many wealthy places and some good places that could be cultivated, but here it was a barbaric wilderness."
After hearing this, Yun Chu couldn't help but said: "If you, Aye, were here, if you heard you judging my actions like this, you would be furious and drive you out of the house.
Don't be angry with me. The angrier you are, the more stupid you will appear. The reason why you, Aye, have to work hard to achieve so many achievements is so that when your descendants fail to live up to expectations, you can lose a few more years.
This place seems barren and there is nothing, but what I have invested is only a blanket, a few pots, some grain and seeds. Once everything is settled here, I will not lose money just by collecting taxes."
Yun Chu looked at Jiang Xie again and sighed, "What a short-sighted person."
When Yun Chu rode the elephant away, Li Yuance gritted his teeth and said: "The water of the three rivers can't wash away today's shame."
Jiang Xie shook his head indifferently and said: "Then think about why Yun Chu said that we are short-sighted people. If you think about it clearly, maybe you won't feel humiliated."
When Yunchu returned to the Chinese army camp, Li Si was wiping a golden ball the size of an egg with cotton cloth. She currently has more than 700 such golden balls, and each golden ball is engraved with the name of a kid from the dandy camp.
First name and last name.
Li Si originally wanted to engrave the family's family name on it, but Yun Chu stopped him. The name on the golden egg was engraved deep and large by Li Si. Half a tael of gold was gone with just one cut of the carving knife. If he allowed it again,
She also engraved people's family names on them, took one or two gold from each golden egg, and the gold shavings from more than 720 golden eggs were enough to line her own pocket with several golden eggs.
"Aye, when they come back, I will give them the golden eggs, which will make them happy to death."
Yunchu sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "This time some people may not be able to come back."
The smile on Li Si's face disappeared immediately, and he said worriedly: "Didn't you say everything went well?"
Yun Chu said: "This is just the beginning. Sheng Luopi can kill six thousand iron armors of the Tang Dynasty. He should not be an easy person to deal with. They will meet soon."
Li Si casually threw the golden egg on the bed, no longer thinking about playing with it.
Sheng Luopi's birthday was coming soon, and Pi Luoge wanted to hunt a good leopard skin for his father, so as to relieve the bad impression of being captured alive by Yun Chu.
There are many leopards in the forest, and the leopard here in Langmu is the largest. Just twenty days ago, a hunter claimed to have seen a leopard about the same size as a tiger in Langmu, and was bitten to death by this big leopard. Two hunter companions, when he braved up and returned to the hunting ground nine days later, they found that the bones of his two companions were hanging on the trees, and the leopards had eaten away the meat. There was nothing left.
Now it depends on whether you have good luck in killing this big leopard.
For this reason, Piluoge specially found the most suitable bait for this man-eating leopard, a Bo boy.
This Bo boy is very young, with shiny muscles. His head is stuck in the triangular fork of a huge tree. A piece of wood is tied behind his head, which tightly binds him to the branch of the tree. A stick is tied to his mouth to prevent him from speaking. Make a sound.
He looked around in horror...
Pi Luoge, who was hiding in a strong wooden cage, tightened the bow in his hand and said to the attendants guarding nearby: "Pour sheep's blood on the bait."
