I am Da Song

Chapter 337
The smugness of everyone in the general team lasted less than half an hour.

The return of the Wen team aroused cheers from the entire hunting camp.

Countless people ran out of the camp to watch the mountain-like prey on the Wen team's carriage.

This is a huge male bear with a lifespan of more than 20 years. The distance between the canine teeth is two to three inches (6-8 cm), and the weight is as high as more than 200 kilograms. This is not the largest brown bear. , the largest brown bear can weigh more than 560 kilograms.

But even so, this huge monster also shocked many soldiers from the Central Plains.

In the middle of the prosperous Central Plains, ordinary people have never seen such a huge wild creature.

More than a dozen soldiers moved the giant bear's limbs to Zhao Huan.

This huge body even covered a section of optical fiber, leaving a large shadow.

Zhao Huan asked enthusiastically, "Where did you get such a big prey?"

Without standing in front of it, it is really hard to feel how big this prey is. After being straightened, it is already close to ten feet taller than Zhao Huan by more than half a body.

But this huge monster was still placed on the ground as prey.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "I found it in a cave in the wild. At first I thought it was a wild Jurchen living in it, but when I went in, I found that this giant bear was hibernating. I bent my bow and shot it."

"It's that simple?" Zhao Huan was still unsure.

Besieging and killing giant beasts is every man's romance.

But this battle process was too straightforward and hasty.Shoot a few arrows with a bow and arrow and die?
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "There is really no disturbance. A strong bow can still penetrate three or four inches into the body. How can fur compare with steel, and the shaft of the arrow directly penetrates nearly half. It chased after the horse, bleeding profusely. Within an hour, it bled to death in the wild."

This is really a dimensionality reduction blow.

Humans didn't even shed a drop of blood, and the huge behemoth fell to the ground and died in the blood.

Zhao Huan could only wave his hand and said, "Then take off the bear's paw. Today I will have both the fish and the bear's paw, and taste the delicacies of mountains and seas."

It's a pity that there are no crocodiles.Otherwise, the favorite delicacies of the ancestors and nobles of Zhuxia will be gathered together.

The four bear paws weighed nearly a hundred catties, and they had to be brought to the imperial chef for cooking, so the two teams began to weigh the total weight of all the prey on the spot.

The prey of the general team can be described as colorful and complex, everything that flies in the sky and crawls on the ground. They are most like a hunting team.Brightly colored birds and beasts with shiny fur are piled together.

Soon the total weight came out. Thirty men from the Central Plains, who were good at shooting, hunted more than 520 kilograms of prey.Hunting birds is the romance of a fierce general.So a lot of their energy was wasted.But a dozen or so birds only weigh more than 100 kilograms, which is comparable to a deer.And like squirrels and hares, they are just hunting prizes.

The most important thing in wilderness survival is to hunt and kill a large creature with huge body fat.

But even so, their thirty able-bodied men hunted [-] catties of prey, which was divided equally among thirty families, and each family could have an income of about fifty catties.

Of course, in reality, the distribution will not be so even, but you must know that these people are not hunters who specialize in hunting.

If the people living in the local area are good at hunting, it is no problem to earn about twenty or thirty catties a day.

What needs to be considered carefully is, how much will the state tax these twenty or thirty catties of meat?How much hunting ground can each person get?
This way of fishing and hunting, how much logistics supplies can be supplied to the army.

While everyone was thinking, Team Wen's prey was also weighed.

The 30 members of the Wen team had already cheered and celebrated in advance. Their prey was as high as [-] catties, and only one brown bear accounted for three-fifths.This number has basically sealed the victory.

As for the women's team?

They didn't even care.

A group of ladies who walk in the snowy field with their skirts up. When hunting, they don't know whether they have the heart to do it. How can they compete with Team Wen?

Many people in the team have begun to look forward to the scenery of wearing a jade belt around their waists.

They were not surprised until the women's team returned.

Under the setting sun, the sight of the women's team's harvest is too shocking.

A group of frail women struggled to carry baskets of fat fish, and staggered back to the camp with the setting sun on their backs.

The men in the camp had a gentlemanly demeanor, surrounded them one after another as if they were welcoming the women of the clan, and took the harvest from their hands.

There are eight baskets of fat fish in white, juxtaposed in front of the scale, which represents real wealth and is pleasing to the eye.

Then two carriages loaded with prey, surrounded by twenty female officials, drove into the crowd.

Even the generals were astonished and asked, "How did you group of women catch so many prey?"

Tang Yi was quite proud of the high-spirited generals. She raised her chin and said, "This is the prey of our women's team. Who said that women are not as good as men?"

The soldiers removed the prey from the carriage, there were sixteen silly roe deer in all.

They probably encountered three herds of deer and a few scattered silly deer.

Silly roe deer is a small deer with an average weight of just over 60 jin. The total of these 980 silly roe deer weighed [-] jin.

The eight baskets of fish weighed 560 catties in total.

In total, the hunting quantity of the women's team was as high as more than 540 catties.

Slightly more than 20 catties over the general team!

This result shocked both the Wen team and the general team.

If you don't count the giant bear.Then the highest harvest turned out to be the women's team!Then came the general team, and finally the Wen team.

The appearance of that huge brown bear changed the entire ranking and disrupted Zhao Huan's plan.

He originally planned to let the women's team win the championship, and then leave a deep impression on all the civil and military officials of Song Dynasty.

That is, in this land of white mountains and black water, there are extremely rich supplies, "the roe deer is beaten with a stick, the fish is scooped with a scoop, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot".Even women can catch more than a group of big men, and it can be said that they can hunt and survive with their eyes closed.

Thereby strengthening the confidence of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty to open up the north.

But Zhao Huan soon discovered that the current result seems to be more effective under the circumstances.

After distributing the jade belt, the civil servants were in high spirits, as long as they got together, they would inevitably talk about the process and honor of the hunt.

The civil servants have grasped the public opinion, and they will not tell everyone the details of the hunting in detail. According to them, the civil servants hunted extremely rich prey on this land, and won the competition with absolute strength.

In every discussion, civil servants would boast about the vast land and abundant resources here.And in order to prove what they said, they will definitely bring out the women's team, saying that a group of women can beat roe deer with sticks, hunting more than generals and so on.

In just a few days, the phrase "beat the roe deer with a ladle to scoop up the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot" was promoted by the civil servants and became known to the whole camp.It has attracted the attention of countless people.

Someone went out and tried it, and it turned out to be as the civil servants said.The entire camp was full of public opinion, and countless soldiers were looking forward to retiring here and settling down here. They could make a fortune just by selling furs.

Now the civil servants have to record this incident in the history no matter what: the group of sages hunted in Changchun in the north, and they won a lot.Even a weak woman can have a good harvest and far exceed the proficiency of bow and horse in the Central Plains.

If this land cannot be guarded, the future generations will not be able to appreciate the coquettishness of the present when they read history books.

At a time when public opinion was hot, preparations for the imperial meeting were finally completed and officially held.
