Chapter 264
Chapter 264
Liu Yaoqing is going out again, this time the children don't need to take care of the wild raspberries, they have been idle for more than a month, and they are bored in the mountains, so they want to follow them now.
"Your father is not going out to play, but to have something to do." Liu Yaoqing was rarely serious, "You are still young, there is nothing that can help father now, but father still has to take care of you."
"I will help daddy warm the bed!" Qin Jingyu choked out this sentence.
Liu Doudou burst into tears, "Father, although our grades are small, we are not useless."
"Father..." Bai Niangxian rushed forward and hugged Liu Yaoqing's thigh.
The three children were all ghost spirits, knowing that Liu Yaoqing was in charge of the family, so they didn't ask Brother Zhezi, and let him come out and go in one after another, and load the family's things into the carriage.
There are several carriages behind, the stewards on the mountain are also moving things, and there are some porters behind.
This time Liu Yaoqing did not simply go out, he originally had to stay on the mountain for a few days before leaving, but after discovering the accounts of the pancake workshop, he decided to leave immediately.
"You can also help at home." Brother Zhezi came over after finishing his work, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are many things on the mountain, you can also do something."
He also didn't agree to take the children out.
"We're all at home waiting for daddy to come back, and I'll take you all out in the spring of next year." Liu Yaoqing waved her hand, turned around and climbed into the carriage.
Although the children were tearful, they were not making trouble unreasonably. On the contrary, they were all persuaded by Liu Yaoqing, but they still wanted to go far away in their hearts, to go outside and see, even if they couldn't go to Xiandao, they could go to Dan County.
However, this time Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi brought so many people to transport all the pancakes accumulated in the warehouse on the mountain, and they did not go to Linhai, Dan County, or the island.
They first arrived at the seaside and took a boat all the way north.
This time, the man who sailed the boat was not the man from Linhai, but from Shen Congwu.
The island has almost settled down at this time, and Shen Congwu has returned a few days ago.Hearing that he was going to the capital, Mian Sheng left in a hurry.
Others only knew that there were more and more people under Shen Congwu's hands, and that Jane was in the heart of the emperor, but they didn't know the specifics.But Liu Yaoqing knew very well that Shen Congwu took three large ships to the north, landed from the coast, and led the men for a walk.
It gets colder as you go north, and you can still come out to bask in the sun in Shanggu Village at this moment, but when you reach the far north, it's already freezing cold, and you can't feel warm even when the sun is out.
The men led by Shen Congwu are all wearing thick jackets, and they are not afraid of the cold weather. They can cook a can of braised pork and eat a meal of braised pork, or open a can of fruit to try something new. Baked and baked, crispy and crispy.
Although it was very cold, the men leisurely walked around the vast expanse of withered grassland, eating all kinds of canned food, baking cakes, and even cooking porridge in a pot.
Daqin has been very strong in these years, and these nomadic groups outside the customs are not very grouped, and the basic tribes never communicate with each other. They only go to the border when the winter is unbearable. That is to grab something and leave, that’s it. They were chased and beaten by Da Qin several times.
The people in the tribe were all afraid of being beaten, and they hadn't dared to commit crimes for many years.
As a result, this time Shen Congwu brought people to wander around the grassland, and there were so many delicious food on hand, it was so fragrant, and it happened that a tribe saw it, so they wanted to grab it.
It's all gone to my own home, I'm sorry for my hard winter if I don't grab it!
"They are really stupid. You have to inquire clearly before you start." Liu Yaoqing said, "Shen Congwu's men are almost the strongest group of soldiers in the Great Qin. One dare not say ten, and five is no problem. Those who are hungry Can a person who is yellow and thin in winter succeed?"
"They're all defeated. They took the initiative to sacrifice all their cattle and sheep to survive, but if we don't go, they may not be able to survive this winter unless they abandon the elderly and children." Brother Zhezi sighed, "Those people have been refusing to surrender, Why did Brother Qing go to help them?"
Liu Yaoqing brought out all the pancakes from the mountain this time. If all goes well, the pancakes squeezed from the warehouse in Dan County will also be shipped in one after another. With these foods, the tribe will surely be able to survive the winter.
"Although they don't have much food, they have a lot of fur." Liu Yaoqing said, "Some horse milk and goat milk are very good."
The three children in my family are still drinking goat's milk, in the morning and at night, and even Ning Ge'er and Xuan Ge'er's young man also drink it.It can be clearly seen that the children of Liu Yaoqing's family have stronger bones and are taller than other children of the same age.
Now every household can afford meat, and they take good care of their children. The food is basically the same, and the only difference is whether they drink goat milk or not.
It's just that it's not easy to raise sheep, and it's still uncertain when the lambs will be born and when they will produce milk, so a large flock is raised on the mountain, and there are many sheep, and there will always be milk and cubs without much pressure.
The people in the village mainly farm land, like on the grasslands. Not only do they not know how to farm land, but they have no place to farm, but they raise a lot of sheep.
"If we don't like each other all the time, conflicts will break out sooner or later." Liu Yaoqing began to break his fingers, "I don't understand wars, but it's nothing more than dead people, broken families, and even a lot of treasury expenditure. Even if we win, the dead are already dead and cannot live."
It's not that he is so kind, but that he feels that there is no need to continue to intensify the conflict.
He smiled, threw himself into Brother Zhezi's arms, and said, "Of course we are capable of defeating them, and even occupying that place, like Xiandao. But when the time comes, who will raise sheep for us? If Daqin's If the children can drink goat milk, they will be stronger and taller in the future, and they will have an advantage even in a fight. What's more, they are used to the food we send over. If the supply is cut off, what will they eat? Eating mutton again? That can be exchanged for food."
If ordinary people are fed, clothed and warm, and have a little hope, they will be safe and sound.
On the contrary, those who are ambitious are not ordinary people. Unless the people can't survive, then they will find ways to find more extreme methods.
It's not convenient for Liu Yaoqing to talk about these things, but brother Zhezi can understand.
This is subtly turning ordinary people into their own people. At that time, the superiors will be ambitious and will not be able to overthrow the clouds. At that time, it will be a higher-level struggle, at least not many people will die.
"Brother Qing always thinks differently from others." Brother Zhezi laughed.
"Of course, who told me to be Brother Qing?" Liu Yaoqing chuckled, "We've been together for so long, Brother Zhezi, I won't hide it from you. I'm afraid you would have known that I have changed slightly from the former Brother Qing... ..."
Before Liu Yaoqing came, the original owner was just a weak and ordinary little brother, otherwise he would have been at odds with Old Man Liu and Liu Quanfu. It was not until that serious illness that Liu Yaoqing changed a lot.
Those who noticed the change were probably not only Brother Zhezi, but also Brothers Li and Xing.
Perhaps Brother Hui also had doubts, but they never showed it, Liu Yaoqing was their family, no matter what he became.
Thinking about it, Liu Yaoqing's heart was a little moved. Li's temperament was originally soft, no matter how hard he was, he could bear it, but he became tough just because of Liu Yaoqing. Even if he is in charge of such a big mountain now, Li's privately learns Words, learning to calculate accounts, and often going to bed very late, she is not for herself, it is all for Liu Yaoqing.
The whole family and Brother Zhezi doted on him.
"I like Brother Qing like this." Brother Zhezi smiled, "I've only seen it from a distance before, and never talked to him."
It was only when Liu Yaoqing was seriously ill and woke up again after escaping the death that Zhezi brother brought something to Liu's house, met Liu Yaoqing, and talked to him.
The relationship between them started from scratch at that time.
"Let's not talk about this, we are going to the grassland, so let's cheer up, what if people know that we brought a lot of food and have malicious intentions." Liu Yaoqing said suddenly, "Be careful sailing for thousands of years Well."
Brother Zhezi thought about it, there are dangers everywhere on the sea, and only by being careful can there be no accidents, so he nodded decisively.
However, Shen Congwu brought people around in front of him and frightened the tribe. Although Shen Congwu didn't come in person this time, he sent capable men and many mighty men.
They are responsible for protecting Liu Yaoqing and others, surveying the terrain and drawing maps.
Speaking of which, the tribe was also unlucky. They were waiting for Shen Congwu to take the people away, but they were afraid and moved away overnight.After waiting for a few days, they found that no one came. If they went to other places, they might have to compete with other tribes for territory. So they thought that their tribe was poor and there should be nothing to attract attention, so they came back.
As a result, before settling down for a few days, they were surrounded again.
The patriarch was pushed out, and came out tremblingly, and saw a good-looking and fairy-like brother looking at him with a smile, and was a little stunned for a while.
"The tribe is pretty big." Liu Yaoqing said, "Let's talk about it in detail."
The men worked together, combining pieces of wood together, and quickly turned into a small wooden house, with tables and benches inside, and some even lit a fire on the spot, and brought tea.
The patriarch was invited to the cabin and saw food on the table that he had never seen before.
"This is pancakes, this is potato chips, and this is potato flour." Liu Yaoqing said, "Pancakes include pure coarse grains, and some have corn added. One sheep can exchange so much..."
He gestured while talking, and someone beside him translated in a low voice at the same time.
The patriarch gradually widened his eyes, thinking that they came back to exterminate the clan and capture them as slaves, but he didn't expect that they came to do business.
Their ethnic group is close to the border of Daqin, and they have exchanged things with them, but they have not seen pancakes at that time.
"You go back, come back after you think about it." Liu Yaoqing waved his hand, didn't give anything on the table, just showed him, but the fragrance seemed to follow the patriarch.
When he went back, he was a little dazed.
