Yun Xiao teased his little daughter while listening to Wei Dongbao's report.

Zhou Yafu was sick and refused to see a guest at home. Dou Ying was comforted by Liu Qi and returned to his house to recuperate. The most unlucky one was Liu Hui. Although Liu Qi, a relative of the Liu clan, could not do anything to him, the hat of the Great Honglu was scattered.

Politics is really cruel. He needs you to spend a lot of money. If you lose money, you will lose all your money. If you make a fortune, you will also make a fortune. In the short term, there is no one who will make a fortune. Only Yun Xiao knows that the biggest profit is actually Liu Xiaozhu running wildly in the yard below. A little urging Wei Qing followed behind. This kid doesn't know that sometimes he will follow the boss for the rest of his life. Facts prove that Wei Qing did it. He was Liu Xiaozhu's most loyal younger brother in his lifetime.

Yun Xiao began to be glad that he was hiding in the Yunjiazhuang. People in Chang'an were all puppets, so it would be a person who lifted the line by himself. Playing politics is different from participating in the Olympics. The spirit of participation is sometimes not so important.

"It's all, that's it?"

Yun Xiao asked Wei Dongbao while wiping his saliva for his beating daughter.

"Your Majesty replaced a large number of generals from the Northern Army and filled all the replaced generals to the frontier. At the same time, the prefects of each county were strictly ordered to speed up the construction speed of the road. If anyone delayed the construction period was killed, the craftsman was also working day and night to work on the four-wheeled carriage designed by our family. It seems that Your Majesty is preparing for the war."

Liu Qi was preparing for the war, and obviously his proposal had been adopted. The construction of Chidao and Hetao were all for the invasion of the Huns this winter. The court's eyes were already on the Huns, and it seemed that there would be a fierce battle this winter.

"Go to Chang'an market to collect grain. Whether it is rice or noodles, we need it. Don't be so arrogant, and do it quietly. Every granary in Lintong needs to fill me with new grain. Do you understand?"

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

Yun Xiao still did not agree with these two sentences, especially the latter sentence. He believed that in troubled times, food was more reliable than gold. The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou was still invisible, and Jiangnan had not been developed on a large scale. Without the canal transportation to help the north, it would be difficult to resist the Huns by relying solely on the power of Guanzhong.

The news of a bumper harvest came from Yueyang. Using the method of Yunxiao crop rotation, the yield per mu had reached four or five hundred kilograms. This was absolutely high in the Han Dynasty, where the average yield was only two or three hundred kilograms.

Yun Xiao has ordered people to look for phosphate ores. With the current fertility, the stamina cannot support higher yields at all. Especially in Guanzhong, wheat is only ripe for one season a year. To increase the yield, it seems that fertilizer is an indispensable ingredient.

The most important thing for me now is to train my army. Yun Xiao had no doubt that Liu Qihui sent him to the most cruel Hetao battlefield. With such an army, it was definitely his life-saving capital.

The township heroes were used to cruel practice. However, this time the Marquis played a new trick. A cloth bag of one person was thrown down from the slope by Yun Xiao. The round body rolled extremely fast. The township heroes had to shoot it before the cloth bag rolled down to the flat ground. According to the rate of firing of the iron-tied crossbow, they only had one chance.

The rewards and punishments are the same as before. Those who shot in the shot eat meat. Those who fail to shoot will eat pickles with steamed buns and a large bucket of egg flower soup made from a bowl of two eggs.

This is a bolt from the blue for the local warriors who are used to heavy rain and heavy meat. Obviously, the Marquis is tired of the routine of fixed targets, and now he is starting to play mobile targets.

Facts have proved that the local heroes who are used to playing fixed targets are like top students in exam-oriented education. They encountered Yun Xiao, a street rogue who did not play by the routine. A cloth bag filled with straw rushes down the hillside, and from time to time, they would be touched by rocks to change direction.

The local warriors who shot the air every time were almost crazy, but they had no choice but to shoot the meat but not the soup. So at dinner, the local warriors ate steamed buns with pickles and sucked egg soup.

"The Huns are all cavalrymen, and their speed is much faster than the infantry we met before. If we don't train like this, once we meet the Huns cavalry running on horseback, they will be in danger. It's not a bad thing to eat steamed buns and drink soup today. If you practice this skill, you can save your life."

To make everyone understand, they must explain the meaning of doing so. Don’t let them think that this is the Marquis’s three-minute passion, and let them know that this is a life-saving ability on the battlefield. Only in this way will these guys practice and think carefully.

Yun Xiao has always believed that external factors and internal factors are complementary. No matter how hard he works, he cannot withstand internal factors.

The Yun family's war preparations were sufficient. Large pieces of dried beef jerky were wrapped in oil paper. They were sent into the underground storage room, where there were bags of biscuits. The glass bottle contained canned yellow peaches, some beef and canned fish.

There should be no problem with these things being stored here for the first half of the year. Yun Xiao estimated that these things would go to Hetao in two or three months. The wind in December on the grassland was very cold, so it was estimated that these things would not break.

The only thing that satisfied Yun Xiao was that the fuel problem was solved, because he remembered that Shenmu was a place that produces coal. A famous person appeared in the place in later generations, and we all affectionately called her Fangjie.

After hearing Yun Xiao's words, Li Guang sent someone to dig around the Shenmu. Not to mention that he had really dug out coal, Yun Xiao looked at the sample, and the big black and shiny coal blocks were obviously the kind with a high number of cards. With this thing, I guess you don't have to be afraid of the cold on the grassland.

The Huns riding and shooting were good because they were all masters of horse raising. Yun Xiao specially opened a large area at the foot of Mount Li to let the Huns gang up. Yun Xiao now has more than 2,000 horses, of which more than 300 mares alone. There were more than 100 horses born this year. Now Yun Xiao is worried about not having few horses, but as the horse herd expands, there are not enough horses.

After a series of battles, the Hun men suffered heavy casualties. Although there have been growing children joining in the past few years, the number of people is still pitiful. Including the disabled and the disabled, there are only a few hundred people in their arms.

Lao Batu is working overtime to train these Hun children. The adequate nutrition makes these little guys as strong as calves. Every day, except herding horses, they will be taught to ride and shoot by the Hun men.

"How are you doing? How are the kids training?" Yun Xiao asked, standing behind Batu.

Batu then realized that the Marquis was standing behind him and hurriedly bowed to salute. He was still performing the Huns' rituals, and Yun Xiao had no intention of letting them be Chinese. He did not even force them to speak Chinese. Sometimes Yun Xiao communicated with them and deliberately spoke Xiongs' rituals.

"Marty, the children still have to train. They are different from us. After living a good life, their bodies become delicate. When we were young, we had to put on horses and work every day. We ate everything. When the year was not good, the moles in the cave could be dug out and eaten.

Nowadays, children drink milk and eat meat every day. They seem to have stronger body, but they cannot withstand the wind and cold. They rained a few days ago, but they are still getting hot. When we were young, we didn’t get wet in the rain for a month. I don’t know what happened, but as life got better, the children’s bodies were much worse.”

Batu complained to Yun Xiao in a nagging manner, and was very dissatisfied with the children who grew up in the Yun family.

The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

Yun Xiao admired the ancient Chinese poems very much, and in two sentences and a dozen words, he revealed the profound philosophical principles. These Hun children grew up in the Yun family and naturally had some transformation. The Hun children on the grassland had to fight against the harsh natural environment, the fierce and cunning jackals on the grassland, and even more with other tribes.

It can be said that since they can ride horses, they have to learn to fight. However, in the Yun family, the solid houses are not tents with dewy winds everywhere, and they are extremely warm in winter. They don’t even have to go up the mountain to chop firewood, because the head of the family will distribute coal for the winter according to the work. They don’t have to worry about jackals coming to poach their livestock, because there are Xiaobais who are more vicious than wolves in the farm.

There were no other Hun tribes in the Yun family who wanted to annex them. The most intense dispute was to fight the Han family for a few fruits.

A harmonious life corrupts the descendants of the wolf. The sharp teeth will slowly become dull and the sharp claws will slowly fade. Although the wolf's blood flows in their blood vessels, in such a life, they become dogs uncontrollably, although they still have sharp teeth and sharp claws. But they are no longer the same as the wolf.

Their transformation was so fast that Yun Xiao could not imagine. In just a few years, a group of wolf cubs from the grassland turned into wolf dogs in the Yun family.

"Try your best to train them. If it really doesn't work, let them put their horses at home. Anyway, we need a large number of horses, and you are the best Wranglers."

Yun Xiao looked a little lonely because he would lose these excellent cavalrymen in a few years.

"Mr. Marquis, nowadays, horses are not as good as those on the grassland. Although the species are all species on the grassland, their endurance and speed are not as good as those on the grassland.

If you want to raise horses well and give them endurance, you have to let your horses run from a young age. However, the large areas of land here need to grow crops. There are very few places where we can let our horses go, and the weather here is not as cold as the grasslands. I am a little worried that if these horses can adapt to it when we go to the grasslands in winter."

Batu's words surprised Yun Xiao, God would not. People will degenerate when they live a good life, and horses will degenerate when they live a good life.
