Farmer of Shu Han

Zhao Jia Erlang is of course a good gentleman now, but when he was not promising, didn't he often hang out with a bunch of cronies?

Now that you're in your early years, you can't just forget about your little friends from back then, right?

As a result, many people came to the door around the corner, wanting to establish a relationship with Feng Tubie-if you get the woolen cloth from Feng Tubie and eat it with a mouth full of oil, wouldn't it be something you can do with your eyes closed?

Look at the current Huang family?

Look at the current sixth room of the Li family?

Not to mention the Guan family who stuffed the third wife of the Guan family in advance. Two years ago, the pillars at the gate of the mansion were painted and there was no money to clean them up.

What now?

The big red pillars are shiny and shiny, almost blinding the eyes when the sun shines on them!

Zhao Erlang is a man of loyalty, he only said that he will definitely mention it to his brother when he returns to Jincheng, but at the same time he also said that there is no guarantee that his brother will agree.

"Erlang just needs to say yes, and he's up to his brother whether he agrees or not."

The visitor didn't even see Feng Tubie's face, he had already called his brother affectionately.

After hearing what Li Yi said, Feng Yong realized that there were so many people who were willing to call him brother without his knowing.

At the moment, I feel a little emotional, thinking that money is really a good thing, no wonder there will be a father horse in the future.

At the same time, he asked Li Yi, "Wenxuan, do you think I should meet up?"

Li Yi obviously thought about this matter for a long time, "My little brother thinks it's better for my brother to meet. Those who Yiwen promised to come down are all selected."

"Either there is only an empty name in the family, and the family is actually in decline, or the elders in the family have already passed away, so I can only come out to work hard at a young age. Calculate it, don't worry about us being unable to suppress it." live."

"Just for the matter of Nanxiang, we brothers already feel that we can't do what we want. Before my brother returned to Jincheng, he took two or three hundred lives to sacrifice to the furnace. This manpower is even more insufficient. If we get the help of those people, It will be a lot more convenient to supplement labor. After all, even if their family is in decline, there will always be some connections."

"It's not surprising that Wenxuan can consider these things. I didn't expect that Yiwen himself could consider this in Jincheng." Feng Yong felt a little relieved. Since Li Yi said these words, it was naturally discussed with Zhao Guang.

"Since that's the case, then find a time to meet up. But I'm afraid I don't have time these days, so let's stay for a while."

"Little brother understands, I will call them back after I go back."

I don't have time to see others, naturally because I have to see the prime minister of the Han Dynasty first.

After sending Zhao Guang off, the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly sent someone over to deliver a message, asking Feng Yong to come to the mansion to report on his duties the next day.

It's very formal to send a message, but it's not formal at all when you meet.

The location is in the backyard wing of the prime minister's mansion, not in the study where the prime minister handles government affairs.

Zhuge Liang sat on it casually, and beside him was his daughter-in-law, Huang Yueying.

There was even a middle-aged man with beards on the desk next to him, who grinned at Feng Yong when he saw Feng Yong coming.

This person's surname is Pu, his first name is Yuan, and his character... I don't know.

"I've seen the prime minister, I've seen my wife, I've seen this Mr. Pu."

There is no way, etiquette cannot be discarded.

Being a junior is such a hassle, you have to salute everyone you see.

Just as Zhuge Liang was about to speak, Huang Yueying preemptively said with a smile all over her face, "Why are you still so formal when you come to this mansion? Just be casual and sit down."

The prime minister of the big Han twitched the corners of his mouth, his slightly opened mouth remained open, so he could only take a sip of water from the bowl first.

I thought that I came here this time to report on my duties in a serious manner, but Feng Yong prepared for a long time, but he never thought that it would be a commonplace.

And looking at the situation, Huang Yueying really deserves to be the woman standing behind the prime minister.

Feng Tubie resolutely abandoned the old monster Zhuge, and directly hugged Huang Yueying's thigh, "I will always obey Madam's order."

"Mr. Pu, you have seen it before. I don't want to hide it from you. I want to call you brother. So everyone here is my own, so you don't have to restrain yourself."

Hearing Huang Yueying's words, Feng Yong was taken aback, thinking that Pu Yuan has such a big background?

"I called you here this time to hear what you said about Nanxiang County. When others say it, they always feel that there is a layer of fog behind them, so they can't see it clearly."

After seeing Feng Yong sitting down, Huang Yueying continued to speak, "You don't know that there are all kinds of rumors in Nanxiang County today. It is said that demons are rampant, that gods have descended, and that they are not guarded." Proper..."

"It really made me more and more curious as I listened. I didn't have a chance to ask you on your Zhuangzi a few days ago. Today, you just come over and talk to us."

Feng Yong glanced at Old Demon Zhuge, and saw that although he didn't speak, he was listening attentively.

I see, it seems that this is something Zhuge Lao Yao couldn't bear to ask, so Huang Yueying asked.

"What does Ma'am want to hear?"

"Listen to everything. How about talking about the road paved with a single block of stone first?"

"Ma'am, that's not paved with stones, it's called cement road..."

...

Although it was for Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying was equally enthusiastic and asked a lot of questions.

I even asked why I gave a dog to each child, and asked if there were several children, could the servant's family be able to support so many dogs.

I didn't feel that there was any ambiguity in what she asked.

"Mrs. Nanxiang has a ranch. Many dogs are needed to take care of the cattle and sheep. The workshop also occupies a large area. It is not enough to rely on the nursing team alone. It is much more convenient to use dogs, and at night dogs are better than humans. Awake."

Feng Yong's mouth was a little dry, he licked his mouth, took a sip of water from the bowl, and then continued, "If those servants' families can raise a good dog, they can exchange it for a year's ration Woolen cloth."

"Even if you can't raise them, if they grow bigger, you can exchange them for food. Some families have enough food to eat, and it's normal to use it as rations in winter."

Dogs were very popular in the Han Dynasty, and they were used for many purposes, but the most important thing was to eat them.

That's right, eating dog meat in the Han Dynasty was as common as eating pork in later generations.

But the reason why Feng Yong asked the people below to keep so many dogs was because he had a pasture in his hand and needed sheepdogs.

The workshop also needs guard dogs, and the mines in the mountains also need guard dogs. In fact, there are far from enough qualified dogs raised by Nanxiang to be useful.

The difference between Nanxiang County and other places is that as long as you have a household registration, you don't have to worry about going hungry.

Only by solving the problem of food and clothing can other considerations be considered.

People have to eat enough before they are willing to raise more dogs.

And if those servants' homes raise a good dog, the higher-ups will take it back, and the price is not low.

If Mu Wuzhe took a fancy to it, it would be easy to exchange a good dog for a year's ration.

So it's actually an investment.

Mu Wuzhe was the leader of the Qiang people who was half-forced to seek refuge with Feng Yong at the beginning, and now he is the dog in charge of the ranch.

Note that this dog steward is a real dog steward, not a curse word.

Many Hu people know how to kiss dogs and train them.

This should be the ability they cultivated in the long-term grazing.

It is said that Mu Wuzhe's tribe escaped many disasters by relying on their own dogs.

So Feng Yong pulled the former leader out again, and directly appointed a dog to take charge.

The dogs that were favored by those barbarians and trained were very spiritual and could understand simple commands, and they already had the embryonic form of later generations of police dogs.

"There are so many ways to raise a dog?"

Huang Yueying's eyes widened, and she asked with great interest, "Is it really possible to use dogs to herd cattle and sheep? Isn't that different from humans?"

No wonder she asked, because farming and nomadism are fundamentally two different concepts.

Moreover, she is from the south and has never seen nomads, so she naturally doesn't know that there are so many ways to herd.

Even in the north, in the eyes of the nobles, this kind of craftsmanship is not on the table, and it is only something to be laughed at.

And the dogs of the Han people, in addition to guarding the house, are used as food rations. Who would have thought that there are so many ways to keep dogs? And there is no need for so many doorways.

But in Feng Tubie's eyes, this bit of craftsmanship and knowledge is of great value.

"Not all dogs can be used to do this, only a small number of dogs can do it. And the physique must be good, carefully selected, and finally trained, so that they can have such abilities."

"This matter should be true."

Zhuge Liang listened for a long time, and finally said at this time, "In the past, there were dogs in the Han army, but later, there was not enough food, so dogs naturally couldn't keep them."

Feng Yong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
