Chapter 352 Water Transport Costs Are Shockingly Low
The wooden architecture of the Tang Dynasty achieved the unity of artistic processing and structural modeling. Building components including brackets, pillars, beams, etc. all reflected the perfect combination of strength and beauty.
At first glance, the impression given by the wooden buildings of the Tang Dynasty is that they are simple in structure, unpretentious and majestic.
Not only has the main building been increased to five floors, but the martial arts arena has also been expanded a lot. There are also special places for the big bears and the big tigers to be raised, and the rhino is in the stable at the back.
It was said that there were only a few horses in the stable, only a few black BMWs, rhinos and green oxen. Yang Qian didn't like the feeling of them being restrained, but instead liked them to be free.
Therefore, the stables are very large, and some specialized grooms will come regularly to pull Yang Gan's horse out for a ride.
The four BMWs were also taken care of with the utmost care, and they were expected to give birth to calves from these four guys.
Back on the fifth floor, Yang Qian was lying leisurely on the sofa, listening to everyone's work reports.
"So far, canned food, grain, and medicines have been prepared and shipped to Yanggu Pass. Weapons, war horses, clothing, etc. are also ready for subsequent departure."
After reporting everything in a concise and concise manner, Xiao Yu asked.
"Sir, Wu Gaolang asked me to ask you, how many people will you take with you on this expedition?"
Yang Gan waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "What is the expedition? This is nothing to do with Shang Guo and Liao Guo's quarrel with me. I'm just going to get people. It's enough to bring 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry. By the way, these 3,000 infantry have to be brought to the previous participation." Those who lived through the steppe war.”
"Young master, you want to take the veteran with you, right?"
"Yes and no, veterans are useful, but it doesn't matter this time. The main reason is that the veterans in the past know how to use treatment methods. When a battle is over, there will be who knows how many wounded soldiers. If we don't speed up the treatment, we will lose if one dies. one."
"Christina, Belika, we are going to save people this time, are you interested?"
Krisna, who was standing aside, couldn't bear it for a long time and said, "Of course I want to go. Although I won't fight, I feel like I'm getting rusty. I might as well go to the battlefield for a walk."
"You are a bastard if you don't take advantage of him." Bellica said calmly.
"Pa" Yang Gan snapped his fingers. Belika's words came to his heart. This time he went there to lure people.
However, whenever there is an advantage, Yang Qian will not let it go, and of course he will not go too far. After all, the troops are limited. If you give me five thousand versus hundreds of thousands, the ancients can do it, but Yang Qian does not dare.
These are my family assets, but I can't die in an unknown situation. If the whole army is wiped out, it will be really tragic.
"How much time do you have left to be fully prepared~~~!"
Xiao Yu said, "We have transported all the supplies to Yanggu Pass more than half a month ago. Now they are being transported one after another. The logistics is not very stressful."
"Well, this road must be open, and the carriage must be well used. After all, many injured and injured people may not be able to walk when they are transported back. By the way, is it open to Zaifu Bochao?"
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "When Fei Lian went to dig for meteorites, he had already handed our post to General Zaifu. He wrote back and said that he would go all out for us."
"That is our escape route, and it must not be cut off. You should work more on intelligence. Although the boss, Bo Chao, is not on good terms with the clan, he is still a member of the clan. With just one thought from him, we may be trapped in Yanggu. Customs."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Sir, some time ago we bribed the maid serving around Zaifu Bochao. According to her, General Zaifu received a letter from a powerful family. The specific content is unclear. After all, she is illiterate, but General Zaifu received a letter from a powerful family member. When he arrived, he became furious and even killed the messenger who sent the message."
Yang Qian was surprised and said, "Isn't it a bitter trick?"
"The probability of a bitter plot is not high. According to the maid's description, General Zaifu seems to be angry when he is threatened but does not accept the threat."
Yang Gan raised his lips slightly, and the impression of Zaifu Bochao in his mind was slightly improved. "Yes, I always thought that Zaifu Bochao was just an ordinary general. I didn't expect that Zaifu Bochao was quite courageous."
"Why?"
"Didn't her sister join the family because of marriage? What would happen if the family members used his sister to forcefully control him? As long as the zai father, Bo Chao, takes a step back, he will be controlled to death from now on."
"But if there is resistance, because Yuntong County no longer has the power of the clan, and if the guard general of Yanggu Pass is forced to jump over the wall, then the foundation of the clan on our side will be completely lost, and the caravans of many clans will be the way. He went to Yanggu Pass to trade with Shang Guo."
"My father-in-law, Bo Chao, is not stupid. As long as he refuses to accept the threat once, the people in that family will definitely not do this to his sister. Otherwise, the family will still lose."
Yang Gan touched his chin and said, "Yu'er, after transporting the grain and grass to Yanggu Pass, will we have enough grain and grass?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, we will have a good harvest this time, and the fields in Baiyunguan will also have a good harvest. Now there is too much food to eat. Gao Yushi has a headache every day for food. The granary built at that time was too big." There are less, and now the county and county towns are building a lot of grain and grass."
"Sir, how much food and grass can be stored before it's enough?"
Yang Gan looked ecstatic, "Okay, okay, we don't have to worry about too much food. The food we reserve must ensure the food rations of the entire county for 1 to 2 years. If there is a drought, flood, or waterlogging, it will not hurt our muscles and bones."
"Shuihu said that as long as the canal is connected, it will be almost impossible for the Chuanyun River here to flood~~~!"
Yang Gan nodded, this thing was perfect. Although it was time-consuming, labor-intensive and money-consuming, after spending it, it would be done once and for all. He was even thinking that if possible, he could divert all the rivers that often flood and dig canals.
In this way, not only can water transportation be developed and commerce in various places be deepened, but in the event of war, troops can also be transported quickly. According to my own statistics, the cost of transporting the same number of soldiers or food by water is only 1/20 to 25 times that of land transport.
If the shipping costs are so cheap, there will be no problem with free shipping for future bulk transactions, let alone cheap ones.
"Okay, that's it. Let's set out in three days. Let's see how many people we can win with this vote?"
"Yang Gan, can you take Big Tiger, Little Tiger, Big Bear and Big Bear Er with you?" Krisna asked.
Yang Qian didn't turn around for a moment, and suddenly said, "This, this is not good, what if I hurt someone, and I haven't been back recently, I'm afraid they won't recognize me."
"I have a good relationship with them, so I can take care of them. When you went to the martial arts field just now, those four little ones were hiding in their nests and shivering. They must have smelled you."
"Fuck, do I smell so bad?" Yang Gan laughed.
"In a word, do you want to take it or not~~~!"
Krisna is a fierce general under her, so there is no reason not to be satisfied, and there is a possibility that she will eat her in the future, so it is better to be satisfied first.
"No problem, as long as you can control it, you can take care of it."
"Okay~~~!"
Yang Gan looked around and wondered, "Where is the princess?"
Zhang Yumeng shouted at the top of her voice, "Zhao Wenmo, Yang Qian is looking for you~~~!"
There was a whispering sound, and Zhao Wenmo walked out of the side room. At this time, she changed her gloomy face before, and her whole person seemed to be relaxed. She said she was broad-minded and fat, and her face was rounder. It was obvious that she had spent this period of time. very good.
"Hey, life has been good recently, and I have gained weight." Yang Gan joked.
Zhao Wenmo raised her eyebrows. Thinking of the current situation, she became discouraged again and said in a cold voice, "You, what are you looking for me for?"
"You? This is the etiquette of Shang Wang's royal family?"
"Husband, husband~~~!"
"You must go with the army this time. While there is still time, make some fancy outfits. Don't wear a robe. It's not convenient outside."
Zhao Wenmo pointed at himself in disbelief, "Should I go too?"
"Nonsense, did you get married and no one told you to listen to me, or do you think you are still the princess of Shangguo? Please, your country and your royal family have abandoned you."
Zhao Wenmo trembled all over and took two steps back with a pale face. This was something she had never dared to face, but it was a fact.
After driving all day, he was quite tired. Unfortunately, there was no TV in this era. Under Mu Qing's massage, Yang Qian quickly fell asleep on the sofa.
The only ones present who could pick up Yang Gan without waking him up were Krisna and Belika.
Krisna picked up Yang Gan and gently placed him on the bed.
"Why are you planning to go to the battlefield? Didn't you always say it was boring?" Krisna asked Zhang Yumeng.
Zhang Yumeng said with a smile, "All the medicines were formulated by me and the two doctors, Mr. Ge. I have to go and check the situation at the scene, otherwise I won't be able to figure out the context."
Zhang Yumeng also has her own ambitions. She mixed the concepts of modern medicine with traditional Chinese medicine to form 500 medical corps.
The next day, Yang Qian got up early, exercised, and went to Ou Yexia's forging factory.
"Lao Xia, I'm here."
"Hey, sir, are you back?"
"Yes, I just came home yesterday~~~! Have you finished the armor and the soft armor inside the clothes that I asked you to modify last time?"
Ou Yexia deliberately kept a straight face, "Young Master, if it were in the past, I can't guarantee it, but now with such an advanced forging hammer, these two things can be forged in minutes."
Yang Gan took out a size chart and handed it to him.
"Let's make a set of armor and a set of inner armor for each of these two women."
"Is it ordinary or good?"
Yang Qian was surprised and said, "Is there something good again?"
Ou Yexia chuckled, "Fei Lian brought a lot of meteorites. The quality is good, but you need to use a little or a little less. How do you choose?"
"Then tell me what is ordinary and what is good."
"Normally, it is steel that is folded and forged and then quenched. If it is good, it is plated with a layer of meteorite."
Yang Gan couldn't help but nodded, "How did you come up with this idea?"
Chapter completed!
