Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 49 Zhao Xin's Anger

In the woods outside the east gate of the camp, Zhao Xin walked out from behind a big tree with a big bag.

When he was fifty paces away from the camp gate, the two refugees guarding the camp gate had already seen Zhao Xin.The two saw that Zhao Xin was very laborious to walk on the snow with the bag, so they quickly greeted him.

Zhao Xin saw that the two of them ran towards him regardless, and his originally happy face immediately drooped down.

How did Toroyoshi and Shigeru lead the team?How did Sheng Haizhou manage?He didn't get angry with the two refugees guarding the camp gate.It's not their problem, it's Toruki and Shigeru's problem.

It seemed that the calm days had made them all start to relax.

After entering the camp gate, Zhao Xin took the bag from the two refugees and asked them to continue guarding around the camp gate.

Along the way, several refugees saw Zhao Xin, and just as they were about to say hello, they saw Zhao Xin's gloomy face.They didn't know what happened to the adults, and they quickly avoided after bowing and salute.

A Miao was in a good mood while drying her clothes and humming the folk songs of her hometown.Xu Shounan, the little devil with his head wrapped tightly, stood aside and slapped his hand with A Miao's singing.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xin's mood was inexplicably better.

Zhao Xin made a silent gesture to Xu Shounan who saw him, put the thing in his left hand on the ground, walked quietly behind A Miao who was humming, and patted A Miao lightly on the shoulder.

"Don't make trouble." A Miao said without looking back.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xin's big hand covered the little girl's eyes.

"Ah! Master. You're back." A Miao, who was startled, squatted on the ground in fright, then turned her head to see Zhao Xin and jumped up happily.

"Okay. Good boy, you didn't betray me. This is your reward." Zhao Xin smiled and touched Xu Shounan's little head, then took out a few lollipops from his pocket and stuffed them into Xu Shounan's hands .

The little guy blinked when he saw the candy in his hand, then put the two in A Miao's hands, and then he ran away with the remaining few.

"Is he looking for his brother?" Zhao Xin asked A Miao.

"Yeah, to say that the relationship between the two brothers is really good." A Miao looked at the far-off kid with envy.

"Only the two of them are left, if it's not good..." Zhao Xin shook his head.He immediately asked A Miao, "How is his brother's wound?"

"Last night, after reading it, Lord Sheng said it was almost done." A Miao took the candy bought by Zhao Xin and didn't know how to put it down.

Zhao Xin helped A Miao peel off the candy wrapper, threw it on the ground, and stuffed the candy into A Miao's mouth.

"Oh. What about Master Liu and Master Sheng?" Zhao Xin turned his head to look around, and asked casually.

A Miao said, "Master Liu took Master Sheng and the others on the beach in the south."

"Oh. I'll go take a look. You can leave the things on the ground outside the car, they won't break." Zhao Xin rubbed the cat a few times while talking, then turned and walked towards the camp gate.

Watching Zhao Xin leave, A Miao picked up the candy wrapper he threw on the ground and carefully put it into her jacket pocket.

On the beach, Liu Sheng was teaching Sheng Haizhou and the others to practice aiming with an empty gun.But for Liu Sheng, who didn't understand the island dialect, it was really tiring.

After playing with Sheng Haizhou for a long time and found that the results were not very effective, Liu Sheng's eyes suddenly rolled, and he took Sheng Haizhou's booklet and drew a three-view of the pistol slide on it. The relationship between them is clearly marked.In this way, Sheng Haizhou and the others watched it for a while, and then they understood after asking a few more questions.

Liu Sheng was not in a hurry, and let them all try to aim with a gun with one hand.After all, there is a lot of difference in weight and feel between real guns and wooden guns.

"Comrade Liu, you are dedicated enough." Zhao Xin, leaning on a wooden stick the thickness of his forearm, emerged from behind several people.

"Lord."

"Sir, you are back."

When Sheng Haizhou and the others saw Zhao Xin, they bowed and saluted in surprise.

"Hey? I said why are you back?" Liu Sheng asked Zhao Xin in surprise.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm here to send you warmth." Zhao Xin nodded to Sheng Haizhou and the others, then turned to Liu Sheng.

"Don't come. I get goosebumps hearing this. Be serious."

"What's serious is that I have to discuss something with you; what's not serious is that I brought you ten red crabs and fifty prawns. I have to leave tomorrow." Zhao Xin whispered beside Liu Sheng.

"Then..." Liu Sheng glanced at Sheng Haizhou and the others.

Zhao Xin immediately understood when he saw the SIG P226 in Jiuzang's hand.

"Are there any bullets in there?"

"of course not."

"It's over, what are you worried about. You go to the car and wait for me, I'll be there in a while."

Watching Liu Sheng walk away, Zhao Xin's face suddenly sank, and he said to Sheng Haizhou and the others: "How do you manage the people in charge of the camp guards?! Seeing me coming back, they all ran out regardless of the guard duty at the gate. Pick me up. In case someone impersonates me, or if there is an ambush in the woods, you'll all die a hundred times by now!"

As soon as he said this, the seven people who rarely saw Zhao Xin get angry were so frightened that they knelt on the snow.

"My lord, it is the subordinate who has fulfilled the lord's expectations, and all the guilt is borne by the subordinate. The subordinate is willing to apologize." Sheng Haizhou, ignoring the cold snow, knelt down on the ground and bowed his head to apologize.

Toroyoshi and Shigeru, who were kneeling on the ground, felt uneasy in their hearts at this time.The two of them are responsible for guarding the two gates of the camp.At this moment, Zhao Xin is held accountable, and the two of them are to blame.

"My lord, everything is our responsibility, and it has nothing to do with Lord Sheng. Please punish us, my lord."

"Do you really think the world will be at peace when you get here?! Let me tell you, the Manchus from the western continent may come here to inspect at any time! And those local aborigines, the bows and arrows in their hands are not toys. Including that Yare what!"

Zhao Xin reprimanded angrily, he didn't want Sheng Haizhou and the other seven to lose their vigilance, otherwise disaster could be imminent at any time.

"You must always remember that there are more than 300 old and weak people behind you! Their safety is in your hands! The sea ice melts in spring, and we have to pick up more hungry people and give them I found a place to live. But you are so slack, how can I rest assured!"

"Jiuzang!" Zhao Xin snorted coldly, causing Jiuzang, who was kneeling on the ground, to shiver all over. "Ha ha!"

Zhao Xin pointed at Huji and Shigeru, and then handed the pine stick in his hand to Kuzang: "The two of them, each with five strokes of the stick. Sheng Haizhou, ten strokes of the stick. You execute it."

Kuzang straightened up and stretched out his hands to take the stick.

"Liji! You are in charge of supervising Jiuzang." Zhao Xin shouted at Liji again.

"Ha!" Li Ji was so frightened that he had never seen his master make such a big fire.

"After the fight, let me guard the camp!" After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he took the empty gun from Jiuzang's hand, and then turned to leave.

When he returned to the car, A Miao carefully brought the tea over.

"A Miao, you go out first. No one is allowed to approach here." Zhao Xin said sternly.

A Miao bowed her head in response, put on her coat and went out.

"What's wrong? I can hear you getting mad when I walk far away." Liu Sheng asked with concern.

"It's been a long time since I've been comfortable, and everyone is slack. I just came back to see, okay, two people are on guard at the east gate. When they saw me coming back, they even ignored the gate guard and ran out to pick me up. . If a few Qing soldiers suddenly emerge from the woods, the two of them will have to finish the game!"

After hearing this, Liu Sheng said embarrassedly, "It's my fault. The weather has been too cold these two days. I asked them to go out less."

"How?" Zhao Xin asked.

"It has been snowing heavily for the past two days, and it just stopped this morning. The wind was so strong the first two days, and it was minus 25 degrees the night before yesterday." Liu Sheng said, taking a sip of hot tea.

"So cold?! Are the people in the camp okay?" Zhao Xin was very worried.

"Most of them are fine, but a few old people are sick. I let them stay warm in tents these days. Let Liji get some quilts to cover them, and let the people in the kitchen cook a big pot of ginger every day. Soup."

"I'll go take a look at it later." Zhao Xin said worriedly.In case of a large area of ​​illness, even if the medicine is sufficient, it will be very troublesome.

"It's good to say that the weather is cold. We have padded coats, and if you wear more, you will always be able to carry them. But today I saw them like this. The camp is safe! Lao Liu, you don't want us to have to fight for nothing in the end, right? Practicing a pistol, There’s no need to go all of them, right? Can’t we group them?”

Liu Sheng bowed his head and said nothing, he knew that Zhao Xin was right.I have been a little absent-minded for the past two days because of the Chinese New Year.

"Be careful not to make a big mistake." Zhao Xin looked at Liu Sheng like this, and knew that what he said was a little heavy. "It's not safe around us. Not to mention the beasts that come out to forage in winter, just the aborigines, they really want to kill them carelessly. We've been busy these days."

The two sat speechlessly for a long while before Liu Shengcai slowly asked, "Seriously, why did you suddenly come back today?"

Zhao Xin thought about it and said, "Actually, I originally asked Wang Yuanfang to buy a horse together, but..."

After he reunited with Wang Yuanfang the day before yesterday, accompanied by Andrew, he transferred to another city.When the two got out of the car from the airport to the gate of the ranch, they were startled by a horse walking in the fence.

The huge black horse with shoulder height of more than two meters alone made Wang Yuanfang feel that the two good horses of Old Man Sun that he saw in China were just like two donkeys.

Andrew's uncle is Igor, a farmer here, and he is a 70-year-old man.At this time, he also came out of the house to meet the three of them.

After some courtesy greetings, Igor introduced to Zhao Xin that the Shire you saw was a head stallion, weighing 1200 kilograms and over [-] meters tall.

Zhao Xin opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.He had never seen such a big horse himself.If this is to pull a car, how many things must be pulled!Towing a sled on the snow, two or three tons is absolutely no problem.

Igor went on to say that this horse costs tens of thousands of dollars per day for feed alone.As soon as Zhao Xin heard this, I'll be darling!If you convert it, it will be less than [-]. Let’s forget it, I really can’t afford it.

Afterwards, old Igor led him and Wang Yuanfang to the other two stables. When he saw more than twenty Soviet heavy horses and seven or eight Don hippos, Zhao Xin finally fell back to his stomach.

Except for a few male stallions and Don horses, most of the draft horses have a shoulder height of less than 1.6 meters. They are very docile and not afraid of being touched.

Old Igor said to Zhao Xin, if you buy horses, I suggest you buy some mares.Because the mares of Soviet heavy horses produce very high milk.These mares can produce milk more than 300 days a year, of which about 230 days are the peak milk production period.During peak milk production, an adult mare can produce around [-] liters of milk.If combined with the low milk production period and the few times when milk production is not possible, it can produce more than [-] liters of milk a year.

Zhao Xin didn't feel anything about horse milk at first, and even had some resistance.But after listening to Old Igor's strong introduction, he was also very tempted, which was much more cost-effective than simply raising cattle.

You must know that modern dairy cows can produce milk for about 275 days a year.Among these 275 days, only about 100 days are the peak milk production period, and the other [-] days are the evaporated milk period.During the peak milk production period, a well-raised dairy cow can produce up to [-] liters of milk a day; while in the evaporated milk period, the daily milk production of dairy cows is very unstable, and sometimes it can produce milk a day Twenty liters of milk, but when I was young, I could only produce about five liters of milk per day.The annual milk production is less than [-] liters.

The key is that the milk-producing lifespan of a dairy cow does not exceed 15 years at most, but the milk-producing lifespan of a Soviet heavy horse is as high as 20 years!
So Zhao Xin chose five two- or three-year-old male horses and five two-year-old mares based on the principle of not drinking anyway.At the same time, he assured old Igor that he would buy more than ten heavy horses again within half a year.

The two parties agreed to sign the contract the next day, and Zhao Xin then asked Andrew if he could buy a farm near a port city in the Far East on his behalf.The horses were transported there first, and then boarded the ship from the port.

Zhao Xin's plan is to go directly from modern times to check the local aboriginal people in order to prepare in advance for the migration after the spring.

Now that the ship has landed, he doesn't have to take hundreds of refugees across the strait, and then go all the way across the mountains to reach the predetermined location.After the beginning of spring, I went directly to the boat, but it was only more than 100 kilometers away.

As a result, when asked, Andrew said that old Igor happened to have an idle farm in the northern part of the port city. Because it was too far away, it had been abandoned without anyone taking care of it, and he was planning to sell it.

Zhao Xin immediately found Old Igor. After some bargaining between the two, Old Igor agreed that Zhao Xin would obtain the right to use the farm with an area of ​​200 mu in the form of a long-term lease.The regulations in this country are like this, foreigners cannot buy farm land, they can only rent it.

Because there are stables and a wooden house on that farm, the rental price is five yuan per mu per year.Well, it’s only 1000 yuan a year, 1000 yuan~~ (Early Chinese people went north to farm, and the land rent per mu did not exceed three yuan.)
In this way, both parties are very happy.So at dinner, Zhao Xin and Wang Yuanfang both drank too much.

When Zhao Xin reached the fifth Votgar Cup, he was directly cut off and unconscious.When he woke up from the bed in the guest room, it was already the next morning.
