Chapter 1264 Seniors
The businessman left, leaving behind ten carts of goods, which were counted and put into storage one by one by the Qijun helpers of the firearms shop. The helpers of the shop were mainly Qijun recruited from Tianjin Wei, and there were also a few young men who were idle in the surrounding herdsmen's homes.

The herdsmen are very busy, feeding the horses, chopping wood, grooming, milking, and then feeding the horses again, continuing to chop wood, and grooming again, one day will pass. If it is not forcible requisition, there are very few chances for the herdsmen to be idle , their life is harder than that of farmers.

The reason why Wang Yue let them idle was also the peasants. When he came here, there was nothing in Jining. The person who came to manage the station took over, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

He had no choice, he could only ride around the herdsmen’s houses around, and promised that someone would send him a strong laborer with his own dry food, and he would plant the land next year, and he would grow the kind of food in the field, just like Tumochuan , no need to go to Tumochuan to buy again—there are many followers.

The composition of Han people in Bansheng is similar to that of overseas pirates. Either they can’t survive in the Great Wall, or they are simply not satisfied with the status quo. There are very few obedient people, and they sell food more expensive than meat. The business tax in the Great Wall is low. It is outrageous that there is no commercial tax at all outside the Great Wall, no matter what the price is, the tribal leaders don't care, anyway, they don't spend money on food.

Farming is the same as the Java language. It is easy to get started and difficult to master. Anyone can plant things into the ground, but how many things grow depends on personal skills.

Strictly speaking, Jining is also the territory of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, but a while ago, the battle in the northeast was in full swing. I heard that Marshal Qi of the Ming Dynasty used the wrath of Changshengtian in Dali Lake in the northeast, killing the sweat Not to mention, the newly succeeded Khan also fled westward with his tail between his legs, engulfing many herdsmen along the way to Guihua City.

Now the herdsmen here are all frying flowers, and Dong Chang'ang's tribe followed from the east and went south halfway to escape the winter. They came from the east, and they didn't even know how to plant things.

But I'm envious.

The tribes outside the Great Wall have high and low levels in the technology tree. The high ones are like the Ming and Jin Kingdoms. They can make iron pots as long as they bring iron; the low ones are like the tribes in the north, which don’t have iron arrows; When the situation of the tribes in the east is a little better, they belong to people who know nothing but have seen everything.

In the past, there was Tumote from Ida on one side, and Liaodong from Daming on the other. Although they didn’t know anything, they didn’t need to know how chickens were laid when eating eggs. Anyway, some of them were eaten and some were useful.

But now, isn’t it time? The Ming cavalry ran all over the grassland. Who would dare to rob? Guihua City was occupied by the Ming army. They couldn’t see anything new, and they ran out of food.

This will have the ability to farm the land with one hand, which is too powerful for ordinary herdsmen.

It also showed the flag soldiers in charge of surveying and mapping with the caravan a wonderful scene of driving sheep and carrying water.

Wang Yue opened [-] acres of land outside the walled city, and the herdsmen who worked for him and learned how to farm the land drove the sheep to the river to fetch water. The sheep carried two buckets on their backs, and carried water in groups. Pick it back, very skilled.

"Okay, don't look at it, there will be even more rare things in two months. I wrote to my family and asked them to find some craftsmen who can build waterwheels for me. They will build a big waterwheel in the river later. It’s interesting when it waters the ground without moving.”

"The merchants you follow are told by me to go home, and you will just stay here for two months, and the two months will go very quickly, so you won't be delayed."

Hearing his words, the small flag officer of the Beiyang Army who was sitting on the carriage gave him a squinting look, and said, "Wang Xiaoqi sounds nice, why is this not a delay? The general didn't give me a time limit, but this delay is just a matter of time." Two months, nothing can be said."

The small banner officer left half of the people behind, and the deputy banner officer led four banner troops to follow the merchant. After all, their task was to survey and map the situation along the way, and on the other hand, to follow the merchant to play a supervisory role, regardless of the merchant. What to do, they all need to know.

They don't care whether the businessman makes money or not, and they don't care whether the firearms shop has any performance. The little flag official said, "We're here to fight."

"Hey, are you still fighting, the ninth issue?" Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "Which thousand households will bid?"

Wang Yue was a soldier of the seventh period of Beiyang. Just after his group of soldiers were trained, they were sent to Datong to guard the pass, and then they marched north to station in Guihua City. They fought in those two periods. In the future, they will really be recruits with sufficient training experience.

Just like these Beiyang Banner Army who followed the survey and mapping of merchants, they were well equipped, but they didn't have the vigor of the veterans, so they knew they were recruits at a glance.

"Chen Dayou, a thousand households of the former left guard army, under the bid."

Chen Dayou, Wang Yue raised his eyebrows when he read the name, "When I was in Beiyang, he was still a hundred households, and he stayed as a teacher. Did he plan to take the martial arts exam?"

"Yes, Qianhu intends to enter the martial arts hall as the champion of martial arts."

The little flag officer assumed the role of accepting the inquiry, even ignoring Wang Yue's identity as a small flag officer, he said with a smile: "Relax, let's just chat, these two months won't delay your business, what's the matter?" It can let them learn a lot, saying that it is a war, do you know who to fight?"

To be honest, Wang Yue's question is a common question in the minds of all the banner troops in Guihua City.

There are not many troops stationed near Guihua City. The Long Live Army alone has tens of thousands of troops stationed there, and there are also tens of thousands of armored cavalry from the Great Ming and Jin Kingdoms.

The imperial court said there was going to be a war... But are there any people around Guihua City that need to be conquered?
No, the power of Guihua City is in the hands of San Niangzi, and Qi Qing Ha Chui is old and surrendered to Guihua City. His son Lalik will not be able to make a big deal. Apart from the interior of the Great Ming and Jin Kingdom, there were no tribes outside that could be called enemies.

Is it possible that you really want to go to the northwest to conquer Wala?
The imperial court hoarded a large amount of supplies to Guihua City. I heard that the Qinglong Army was still using the Qinglong Army to transport materials for laying wooden rails to Wulianghai.

Seeing that the Banner Army didn't speak, Wang Yue pursed his lips and smiled, then raised his finger and pointed to the Jining Station not far away, and said: "If you are fine these two months, go to the Jining Station to learn how to deal with Guo Baye. Let yourself survive in the ice and snow."

The Guo Ba he was talking about was the post officer of Jining Station, and he was also from the Beiyang Banner Army, but he was earlier than them.

"That man is the leader of the second phase of Beiyang. He met Ou Luoyi in the East Ocean. He was blind and sent back. He was delayed in Majiagang for two years. The imperial court originally said that he was going to be a teacher, but he was not happy. Come to Jining."

Wang Yue said with reverence on his face: "I heard that last winter, he woke up naked every day and went to roll in the snow for a few times, and then started to work when he woke up. Once he went to the expedition, he went far away and couldn't keep up with supplies. If you can’t get back, the winter outside the Great Wall is hard to bear, so you must learn a few tricks first.”

　Good morning!
