Li Qiu nodded and simply explained to Duanmuzhe, "Brother sent a letter from Jincheng, asking us to send some good dogs over here, at least to the level that they can understand human speech.
, to the extent that you can take care of the sheep by yourself.”
"And we have to ask those who can call the dogs to follow us. My brother also said that dogs will be used in many places in the future. He said they will be of great use."
Li Qiu looked at Duanmuzhe and continued, "Also, a dog farm will be built in Nanxiang later to train dogs, just like this pasture is dedicated to raising cattle and sheep."
"So, you don't have to worry about manpower. You can choose whatever you want. There is only one thing. That is, this dog farm must produce good dogs. The more dogs the better."
"My brother's original intention is for you to be the steward of this dog farm. So let me ask you, do you dare to take over?"
After hearing this, Duanmuzhe lay down again with a trembling body, and said excitedly, "The villain must do his best to raise a good dog for his master!"
No need to think too much, this is about to completely turn over!
Mr. Li also said that this good dog is of great use!
If you really want to be the steward of a dog farm, wouldn't it be more certain to marry a woman from the Han family? I don't know if the woman from the Han family will be able to like me by then?
"Okay, then this matter is settled. After you go back, go tell the people who handle the dogs and ask them to prepare, and then take all the trained dogs with you and go to Jincheng."
"Also, you can select some people from the barbarians in Nanxiang who can call dogs and follow them together. My brother will be useful. If there are people who can do it, that would be the best."
When the Hu people from Nanxiang arrived at Jincheng, they didn't know if they would be able to adapt to it. The reason why more people wanted to go there was because they were afraid that some of them would die there due to acclimatization.
"After the dog farm is built later, all the dogs in Nanxiang will have to be selected, and all the ones that can be used will have to be selected. Think about how many people you will use, and then see who is suitable to be on duty at the dog farm. It doesn't matter.
Han Chinese and barbarians, please tell Jianling Huo when the time comes."
After Li Qiu finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked him to go down.
"Yes, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
Duanmuzhe replied, bowed and retreated.
"Nobuhou, tell me, this brother...brother suddenly sent a letter asking for so many dogs. Is there something going on in Jincheng?"
When there were only two people left in the room, Huo Yi asked.
"What can happen? The biggest thing for the Han Dynasty at this time is the Prime Minister's southern expedition..."
When Li Qiu said this, he glanced at Huo Yi, suddenly understood, and asked with enlightenment, "Shaoxian means the Southern Expedition..."
Huo Yi nodded, "Even if my brother wants to use dogs to watch Zhuangzi, there is no need to send a special letter to be sent from Hanzhong. After thinking about it, how can I find a place in Jincheng where my brother wants to use so many dogs?"
"When I was in the palace before, I heard the old man in the palace say that before the Han Dynasty, the army used specially trained dogs as night sentries. At this time, it was the time when the prime minister was marching south, so I was wondering if my brother would
yes……"
Having said this, Huo Yi paused and looked at Li Qiu.
Li Qiu looked over at the same time, "Brother, do you want to follow me south?"
Huo Yi nodded.
Both of them saw the blazing light in each other's eyes, and then both looked regretful at the same time.
The Southern Expedition... It was the time when men made great achievements, but it was a pity that they could only watch from a distance in Hanzhong.
However, they also understood that even if they were not in Hanzhong but in Jincheng at this time, they would not have the opportunity to participate in the Southern Expedition. The reason was that they did not have the qualifications.
Yiwen and Zishi were really lucky.
"The trained dog was taken to Jincheng, and there are more and more cattle and sheep in this pasture. I'm afraid Shaoxian will have to work harder during this period."
Li Qiu quickly regained his composure and said to Huo Yi.
"It doesn't matter. I used to come here like this when there were no dogs. It's just that I have to let Yi Zhi bring back some of the barbarians over there at the mine."
Fortunately, there are not many dogs trained to herd cattle and sheep nowadays, so the impact is not too big.
Not far away from them, the second wife of the Xu family was standing in the newly plowed field, instructing her men to carefully smash the dirt and garbage into pieces, and then instructing them to spread the fertilized fertilizer brought from the pasture.
Even.
There was a putrid smell permeating the ground, but Xu Erniang was elegant and generous, without the slightest discomfort, and she was not shy like a lady.
"Er Niang, why do we still need to plant these bamboo shoots in this field? There is no shortage of food in Nanxiang now, why not just plant all the water spinach? This water spinach can be eaten by people and livestock, so why don't we have more varieties?
?”
Li Tong followed Xu Erniang and asked her humbly for advice.
Xu Erniang twirled her fallen hair and replied softly, "Li Langjun, although this Yutou is not very tasty, it can be used in emergencies in times of disaster."
Then he pointed to the field in the distance, "And it's easy to plant and grow, which is a good thing. For example, if you have ten acres of grain land, as long as you leave one acre to plant bamboo shoots, you won't be in danger of starving."
"It's just that it hurts the ground too much and requires a lot of water, so it can't be planted in many varieties, and it can't be planted in the same place all the time."
Li Tong nodded and said suddenly, "What Er Niang means is that these Yu heads grown can be eaten by those barbarians?"
"I think so, don't some barbarians in Nanxiang need to eat bran when they are punished? This bran can actually be saved and replaced with yu head. The replaced bran will be used to feed the dolphins in the dolphin house.
a little better."
"Also, the petioles of this crocodile head can be chopped into pieces and can be eaten by dolphins. In fact, dolphins like to eat this. Besides, the workshop will soon build a special dolphin house elsewhere to raise more dolphins.
Come on, the petiole of this bamboo head is just in use."
Knowing that these places were nominally owned by the Li family, and that the Liulang of the Li family was in charge of them, the second mother of the Xu family took the trouble to explain to him.
Li Tong looked at Xu Erniang's face, which was more rosy than those of women raised in boudoir due to the wind and sun, and said sincerely, "Er Niang, I'm afraid no one can compare with you when it comes to farmland."
"Li Langjun was joking, how can I compare to Feng Langjun in this matter of acres of land? Not to mention anything else, it was the matter of retting and fertilizing. Wasn't it Feng Langjun who proposed it? Not to mention plowing deeply to harvest more grain.
Method."
When Xu Erniang said this, there was some excitement on her face, "Speaking of deep plowing, I found that if the bamboo head is used for deep plowing, it seems to be much better than before. Because when the bamboo head is exposed to the soil, it is often green.
, it will taste astringent.”
"So when it comes to farm matters, Feng Langjun is the most powerful."
Seeing Xu Erniang talking endlessly about this, Li Tong:...
Recalling that he and his sister were sent to Nanxiang by their family, all because of the Feng Tieluo mentioned by Er Niang, Li Tong felt extremely uneasy in his heart.
Although the family didn't say it clearly at the time, Li Tong understood the implicit meaning: If Feng Tubolo doesn't like women but prefers men, then it will be his turn...
Fortunately, Feng Tubao didn't like this, otherwise Li Tong wouldn't dare to imagine what would happen to him.
So this was the reason why he didn't look good on Feng Yong from the beginning.
Just when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard someone shouting, and then someone reminded him, "Li Langjun, Madam Mu is calling you."
When Li Tong heard this, he quickly looked around and saw a woman in the distance standing on a high place looking towards him. Her clothes were fluttering and her manners were exquisite. From a distance, she looked like a fairy.
If not your own sister, who is she?
Beside her stood a maid, and without even thinking, she knew it was the servant girl A Xiang.
Behind her, there were two old soldiers wearing weapons closely guarding her.
Except for these three people, no one dared to come within five feet.
The power of Nanxiang Mu Niangzi is so terrifying.
Li Tong hurriedly ran over and saluted Li Mu: "Sister."
Li Mumeiyan's face was expressionless, she nodded and said, "Come with me."
After walking to a straw pile and blocking the eyes of others, Li Mu said to the other three people, "You three go and guard over there. Don't let others come over."
It was true that no one could hear anymore. Li Mu turned his head and asked Li Tong coldly, "Do you like the second wife of the Xu family?"
