My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271
Two days later.

The grain transportation team arrived in Anyi County smoothly.

There are a total of 20 shi of grain, and there are thousands of carriages alone, of course, donkey carts and ox carts account for most of them.

Dong Zhuo was reluctant to send thousands of horses to Wei Cheng, even old horses and Hequ horses.

The Hequ horse is also the main horse breed of Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang Army. It was also called the Tuyuhun horse in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Of course, what Hedong is using now is the Dawan horse snatched from the Southern Huns. As for the Hequ horse, it has been completely reduced to animal power, and even the city guards despise it for being short.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo was worried that Wei Cheng would be greedy for his horse.

At the gate of the city, [-] members of the city guards were already waiting in full force. The stewards called from various satellite cities had already prepared their abacus and account books, and human-powered unicycles were standing by behind them.

Xu Ding sits on the high platform, and beside him are several elders of the Wei clan, as well as the Xie, Cai, Chen and other aristocratic families that the Wei clan has made friends with.

"Satellite City No. [-], please provide [-] shi."

"allow."

"Satellite City No. [-], please pay [-] shi."

"allow."

"Number three..."

The team responsible for transporting grain from the satellite city entered the field in an orderly manner, and under the common gaze of all the accountants, removed the planned grain.

After Xu Ding turned sideways and whispered a few words with Wei Min, Shi Shiran walked towards the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army who were waiting at the side.

"Everyone, everyone, Xu is polite."

The leader of the soldiers was Dong Zhuo's Qu Fan Chou. After Li Ru was injured, he could only take full responsibility for handing over the food and grass.

"Fan Chou met Governor Xu." Facing Xu Ding, Fan Chou did not dare to be rude.

Especially after Li Ru broke his leg, his respect for the Wei family has risen several levels. Now Fan Chou just wants to complete the task and return to Luoyang as soon as possible, for fear that he will be the next Li Ru.

Xu Ding already knew that Xu Huang had someone break Li Ru's leg, so he just wanted to give him another jujube after the blow.

"General Fan, my son has prepared hot soup for the soldiers to bathe in the No. [-] satellite city, as well as various delicious wines and delicacies. I am afraid that the transfer of food and grass will not be over in a short while. Why don't you follow me to appreciate it?" How about my Hedong demeanor?"

Fan Chou and the lieutenants behind him looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts pounding, wondering what Wei Shi was going to do.

Seeing this, Xu Ding laughed and said, "Generals, don't worry, my son sincerely welcomes you."

"Then, it's better to obey than to be respectful."

Fan Chou was helpless, Xu Ding mentioned Wei Cheng twice, and if he refused again, he was afraid that his leg would be broken. Now the scene of Li Ru's broken leg has become a psychological shadow for him, and he still doesn't know how to interrupt Li Ru. Legs, what kind of artifact is it?

"Dashan, please hurry up here."

Xu Ding stretched out his hand to signal, and everyone followed closely behind.

Walking to the side of a flat road, Fan Chou and others' eyes lit up.

"These three-wheeled cars... are quite interesting..."

Xu Ding laughed and said: "This is my unique three-wheeled scooter in Hedong. My son calls it a three-wheeled rickshaw. There is one car for each car. The seats are soft and comfortable. There is a shock-proof mechanism under the frame, so it will be smooth when unevenness occurs. Traveling on the road without compromising comfort.”

Having said so much, it is actually a tricycle converted from a rickshaw, except that one is pulled by manpower, and the other is carried by a bicycle in front.

The streets in ancient cities were generally wide, and it usually took several miles to go back and forth to go shopping. Since Wei Cheng introduced bicycles, the way of traveling for aristocrats has changed from horse-drawn carriages to bicycles.

However, it is convenient for men to ride a bicycle, but it is somewhat indecent for women.

Later, Chengtou and Mr. Jin simply modified it, and added a rickshaw, leather sofa, and spring shock absorbers to the back of the bicycle. Once it was launched, it caused a huge response in the circle of ladies.

Today I pulled it here specially, mainly to show off my muscles.

I just want to let the people of Luoyang see that your so-called capital city is not as comfortable as the life of ordinary people in Hedong.

Of course, just a few rickshaws are not enough to show the strength of Hedong.

On the way, Fan Chou and others saw not only the hardworking farmers, but also the vegetable greenhouses in patches.

What surprised them the most was that the farmers were moving green vegetables out of the greenhouse.

Fan Chou is not a rough guy who doesn't discriminate between five grains. He knew that there should be no way to grow green vegetables in this season, so he asked the city guard who was riding a bicycle in front of him.

This team member has long been told what to say and what not to say. Seeing Fan Chou mentioning the vegetable greenhouse, he began to talk eloquently. After a few words, Fan Chou's eyes were wide open.

"It's amazing. Vegetables can be grown in the winter, and they look good. Unlike our hometown, the leaves of the vegetables in the field are full of holes bitten by insects." Several lieutenants also whispered to each other. .

The voice fell into Fan Chou's ears, and Fan Chou had an idea in an instant... If he moved the method of growing vegetables in a greenhouse to Luoyang, wouldn't he be making a fortune?

Indifferently, he can't keep this wealth, but Dong Zhuo can!

Fan Chou muttered in his heart, how can he get the method of growing vegetables in a greenhouse.

At this time, everyone passed by a river beach, which was actually a canal connecting the moat, but it was widened to irrigate the farmland, and it looked like a small river.

"Hey, brother, where is it?" Fan Chou asked curiously seeing a lot of people gathered on the river beach.

The city guard riding a bicycle looked back and said with a smile: "It was a poetry club activity organized by some aristocratic young masters who are extremely bored. Today is just a day to rest and take a bath. I guess I am reciting poems again, right? Looking south, there are still many people practicing the technique of Danqing."

Fan Chou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned looking at the pedestrians on both sides of the canal.

There are also many canals and rivers outside Luoyang City, but now they are already occupied by garbage and rotting corpses. The city is in chaos, and the outside of the city is even more chaotic. Not to mention the spring plowing is about to happen, Luoyang's tenant farmers have already run away. Those ditches, Where can there be such a scene.

At this time they just passed a wooden bridge, Fan Chou looked down at the ditch under the wooden bridge... and saw the winding water, fish clearly visible in the water, and a little rabbit lying down on the mossy green stone, drinking water, not Take the tourists on the bank of the river as fear.

Seeing the passers-by on the bridge, the sons and brothers who were drinking and composing poems on the bank waved to them enthusiastically, and some people sang a song to welcome friends from afar, which attracted everyone's loud echo.

Fan Chou frowned slightly, and said to himself not without yearning: "It's such a school of singing and dancing to promote peace, peace and harmony... No wonder so many people want to move to Hedong after being overwhelmed."

The city guard who led him on a bicycle moved his ears, and a smile couldn't help but rise from the corner of his mouth.

He did know that most of the group of youths who looked like princes of aristocratic families were members of the city guards, and only a small number were called by the Wei family, Xie family, Cai family and other families. play.

So far, it looks good!
When they arrived at the satellite city, there were even bigger surprises waiting for Fan Chou and the others, so I won't repeat them one by one.
