Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 165 Li Court Sweeping Acupuncture ([-])

Wuhuan Shan Yuting

The sun gradually set over the hills, and the sunset appeared in the sky.

Rumbling--

Dense black dots appeared on the horizon, and the black dots gradually expanded, hitting Shan Yuting like a raging tide, and the earth was shaken.

When the black tide approached, Wuhuan discovered to his horror that it was an army, a huge cavalry army, and the numerous flags flying in the army showed that it was a Han army cavalry army.

"Didn't it mean that the chariot and cavalry general of the Han Dynasty agreed to seek peace?"

"What's going on here?"

Wuhuan Shanyu looked at the cavalrymen of the Han army who were rushing towards him, cursed at the emissary before him, and in anger, he stabbed him to death with a knife, and then rode on his horse and fled northward.

The same was true for the rest of the Wuhuan nobles, who didn't dare to confront the Han army head-on. When they saw the Han army attacking, they rode on their horses and fled northward.

The nobles could escape on horseback, but what about the unarmed herdsmen?

They can't abandon their livestock and run away, can they?
Livestock are as important to grassland herdsmen as fertile land is to farmers in the Central Plains. They are the means of production for a family to maintain their livelihoods.

Unless it is a last resort, the people of the Central Plains will not abandon their fields and migrate to other places. Similarly, the grassland herdsmen will not abandon their livestock unless it is a last resort.

The nobles ran away collectively, leaving tens of thousands of grassland herdsmen desperately waiting for their fate to come.

They begged the Han soldiers to forgive them.

But there are also some prairie herdsmen who want to think about it, just abandon their livestock and run to the north.

"If you don't leave one, kill them all!"

Wang Hongnian came here specifically to rob livestock, so how could he show mercy to these grassland herdsmen.

"what--"

"Wow!"

The grassland herdsmen were slaughtered wantonly by the cavalry of the Han army.

Some prairie herdsmen mounted horses and took up weapons to resist, but they just hit stones with pebbles.

Amidst the miserable sounds, the grassland herdsmen were either slaughtered or driven away, and Shan Yuting no longer had a single grasslander.

"Long live!"

The ease with which Wuhuan Shanyu was driven away, and so many livestock were plundered, all the soldiers of the Han army were very excited. These are all military achievements.

However, when the soldiers of the Han army were still immersed in the joy of victory, Wang Hongnian ordered: "The whole army goes north and wipes out Wuhuan!"

He wanted to leave Wuhuan Shanyuting with the soldiers of the Han army, hunt down Wuhuan nobles to the north, and leave the hundreds of thousands of livestock in Shanyuting to the four major families in Liaodong.

"General, are these animals left alone?" an officer asked.

"Is the livestock more important than the extermination of barbarians? You only have livestock in your eyes, don't you have the honor of being a Han soldier?" Wang Hongnian rebuked the officer righteously and awe-inspiringly.

The officer lowered his head in shame, then put his hands on his chest and said firmly: "I would like to give my heart to the big man!"

"Then let's leave at least some of our people to look after the animals!" said another officer.

"The law of war says that the east is attacking the west. Who knows if the Wuhuan people deliberately left these livestock for us to take care of, and then when we divide our troops to pursue them, they will take the opportunity to turn back and attack them one by one?" Wang Hongnian made a lot of sense, there is indeed such a possibility : "As long as we concentrate our forces, no matter how many times Wuhuan comes, I will go all the way, and Wuhuan will be destroyed!"

The officer was also persuaded, and bowed his head in shame.

Everything Wang Hongnian said was in line with the Art of War and not nonsense, so everyone believed him.

So to make money, you need to read more. If you don’t study, you will be opposed when you make money. If you read books, you can justify yourself by citing classics and classics when you make money, and the other party has no way to refute you.

"The whole army pursues to the north and completely wipes out Wuhuan!"

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen of the Han army continued to chase and kill the Wuhuan nobles in the direction where they were fleeing.

After a long time, when the cavalry of the Han army all pursued the Wuhuan nobles to the north.

Tatata!
The cavalry troops of the four major families in Liaodong came, and they drove nearly [-] cattle, sheep and horses to Liaodong.

Originally there were hundreds of thousands of heads, but many of them ran away just now, and now there are only [-] heads left.

Among the approximately 6 livestock, the largest number is sheep, with about 2 heads, followed by cattle, with about [-] heads, and the least number is horses, with only a few thousand horses.

No wonder sheep are the cheapest and horses the most expensive. It turns out that there are fewer horses and more sheep on the grasslands.

"Hahahaha!"

"With so little effort, you can get so many cattle, sheep and horses, the lord of the palace is really lucky."

"This time, nearly [-] livestock from Wuhuan were picked up. The Wang family contributed the most, and the Wang family should get the most."

"My royal family only needs all the cattle and all the horses, and share the rest with you."

"Then my Zhang family will..."

"My Li family..."

"My Lu family..."

In the end, the Wang family got [-] cattle and [-] horses;
The Zhang family obtained 2 sheep;

The Li family got 2 sheep;

The Lu family got [-] sheep.

The four major families were all satisfied, especially the other three families who had no contribution. They were very grateful to the Wang family for being so generous. After all, the Wang family could take it all on their own, but they still told them to go to Wuhuan Shanyuting to "collect" livestock.

Therefore, their relationship with the Wang family became closer and closer. They obeyed the arrangements of the Wang family in everything, took the initiative to help the Wang family manage Liaodong, and helped the Wang family deal with opponents.

Cattle can be used to plow the land, and can also be used as an ox cart to pull some heavy goods;

Ordinary horses can be used as a means of transportation, and they can also be used to cultivate land, and excellent horses can also be used as war horses;
Sheep can produce wool, wool can be used to weave sweaters, and the sales volume of sweaters is much higher than that of silk clothes.

In this era, those who can wear silk clothes are all rich and powerful.

Ordinary people usually wear coarse cloth clothes, and only add a sweater under the coarse cloth clothes in winter to keep warm.

Considering that silk is only bought by the rich and powerful, the sales volume is not very good, so the Wang family only kept a little bit of silkworm eggs, barely enough to meet the needs of the Wang family's children to wear silk clothes, otherwise it would be too wasteful if too much was produced. up.

Sweaters are different. Even if they are produced and cannot be sold, they can be worn by their tenant farmers overseas, so that they will not be wasted.

Cattle, sheep and horses each have their own uses, but relatively speaking, the most useful ones are naturally horses, then cattle, and finally sheep.

But herding sheep, cattle, sheep and horses is also a problem.

It is not possible to stock them directly on the prairie. After they are stocked, the livestock suddenly disappear and cannot be found. There is a high probability that they will be picked up by a lucky grassland tribe.

Although there is no need to worry about livestock escaping in closed places, there is often not enough grassland.

It is really hard to find places like Penglai Island that are closed and have a lot of grass.

Through this action of sweeping the caves in the Liting, the Wang family obtained a large number of cattle and horses. They no longer have to worry about the shortage of cattle for the time being, but they have to start worrying about the problem of insufficient grassland.

In fact, overseas exploration is still not enough. If more grassland islands like Penglai Island are discovered, is there any need to worry about the lack of grassland to raise livestock?
"It seems that it's time for a second ocean exploration, to find a grazing land in the Japanese Islands!"

Liaodong County Mansion, after learning that the private soldiers had successfully "picked up" Wuhuan livestock with the other three major families, the prefect Wang Hongyin began to think about the future.

People without thought, he must worry about.

As the head of the family, he must have a clear development plan for the entire family.
