People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 21 October
After returning from Mo's old house, Li Yao was in a very good mood. He finally got Mingdi. As for whether it was made of bone or iron, he didn't care at all.

After all, the lethality of Mingdi is second to none, and its primary purpose is to give orders. I believe that no matter who faces the rain of arrows, they will eventually be shot into hedgehogs by them.

Li Yao didn't believe that in the future those mighty generals Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei...even if they boasted amazingly, could they really be safe and sound in the face of a thousand arrows?
It would be best if they could be subdued, and if they really couldn't be subdued, they would have to die. It was precisely because he knew the direction of history that Li Yao would never allow anyone to stand in front of him. There was only one chance to change the future.

In the days that followed, Li Yao lived quite comfortably, with his father supporting the sky outside and his mother running the house inside, he himself only had to bring a group of companions to have fun everywhere.

Even Duan Jiongzhi's death didn't seem to affect them.

But in fact, without Duan Jiong's support, the Kansai warriors have lost their future, and there is no possibility of entering the court and taking power.

Only now, everything is not obvious.

The time passed day by day, and the Hehuang area has really entered summer, which is the warmest time of the year.

After several months of training, Li Yao and his guard cavalry did not dare to say that they were successful in riding and shooting, but they basically never missed the target between [-] and [-] paces.

This is all the result of their hard work. In order to motivate these children, Li Yao will hold martial arts performances every ten days. There are both individual competitions and team competitions.

Individuals and teams who win can get rewards, and they can give priority to choosing the part they want to eat with the mutton provided by Li Yao.

The best, eat the best mutton!

The second-best, eat the second-best mutton!

……

And so on, which is fair.

Afterwards, Li Yao was no longer satisfied with the fixed target as his target, after all, when he was actually on the battlefield, the enemy would not stand still.

If they want to shoot moving targets, Li Yao soon had an idea, that is hunting, the whole forest, grassland... All animals can be their hunting targets.

Big tigers, leopards, bears, wolves... naturally need to be treated with caution, while small rabbits and foxes... would be the best targets.

Moreover, hunting is actually a way of training troops. It can not only improve riding and shooting skills, but also exercise coordination skills. Whether it is the Central Plains or the grasslands, there are similar training methods.

At the same time, he can try new equipment. Now his horse has two quiver bags.

One of the quiver bags contained normal arrows, of course the arrowheads were polished with bone.

The other quiver is filled with Ming Dy, and when it is shot, it will make a sharp sound.

One arrow sounds, ten thousand arrows shoot out!

Li Yao was looking forward to this scene very much.

In fact, at this time, only a few people can be so leisurely, and other people are basically very busy.

Like those farmers, weeds need to be constantly weeded. The millet and wheat in the field are growing well now, but the weeds are also growing very well. If they are ignored, they will eventually suffer the consequences when they are harvested in autumn.

These farmers are also hermits. They do not pay taxes to the court, but they have to pay rent to the Li family.

The land tax of the imperial court is only [-] yuan, but the Li family needs to pay half of the land rent. There is a world of difference between the two.

But is that really the case?

Although the government land tax is only [-] per cent, they still have to pay other taxes. For example, children have to pay the money, and adults also have to pay the calculation tax.

There are other exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes. As long as you want to collect them, you can always find a reason, and ordinary people have no room to resist.

If you meet a clean official, you can probably live a little better, but if you meet a corrupt official, you will be in dire straits.

After all, the Han Dynasty said that it was the rule of law, but in fact it was the rule of man. The quality of a local chief official, whether it was clean or corrupt, would directly affect whether the local people could survive.

Since the abolition of hundreds of schools and the sole respect for Confucianism, close relatives have hidden each other, layer upon layer of protection, and everyone knows what they understand. Any school has its two sides, not only with progressive ideas, but also with backward ideas.

But the evil of human nature will give full play to the backward thinking, and the feudal ethics of cannibalism began to rise from this time.

Although the Li family needs to pay half of the land rent, they don't have to pay other rents, and they can get rewards during the festivals, so these farmers live well.

At least there is no need to drown the child after giving birth, as long as the life is more difficult, it can still be brought up smoothly.

Therefore, these farmers are extremely busy in summer, just to be able to harvest more grain, so that even after they hand in half, they can still leave more grain in the end.

At the same time, the same is true for herdsmen. In summer, the pasture is the most luxuriant. Only when the cattle and sheep are fat and strong can they survive the winter better.

Throughout the year, the Li family will send people to audit. As long as the number of cattle and sheep is not a problem, and they are fat enough and strong, they will also be rewarded.

It's not just here, but the whole grassland. Those Qiang tribes also drive cattle and sheep to graze everywhere. Even if they sometimes fight for a water source or a pasture, they will not start a war.

Relatively speaking, this is the most tranquil and peaceful time in the grassland, and if you really want to do something, you will wait until autumn.

Until the time came to October, on this day Li Wenhou came back, and Beigong Boyu also came together.

And bring Huangzhong Yicong, because they will patrol the grassland in autumn, and deterring the Qiang tribe is their most important duty.
