ps. I will present today’s update and give you some votes for Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they will also give Qidian coins to vote. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

Over the years, everything has been difficult at the beginning. At first, it was difficult to start a business in Mengjin. Qin Shaoyou had to do it himself, but now, many things have come naturally.

For example, when building a canal, now in Luoyang and Mengjin, with Yang Wulian, the world's number one contractor who presided over countless major projects, Qin Shaoyou only needed to prepare the money in place and could almost be his own hand-off boss.

What's more, Yang Wulian has already trained a clan of disciples after years, all of whom are good at civil engineering. These people have grown up, and the various prosperity of civil engineering in the civil engineering industry over the years have attracted many young handsome men to enter civil engineering projects.

For example, Taipingxue’s specialty in civil engineering is almost the most popular among all subjects. Many people are willing to send their children into it. Therefore, Qin Shaoyou has indeed accumulated too much experience in various civil engineering projects. Building canals is no longer just like digging rivers. There are so many things involved here, but Qin Shaoyou no longer has to worry about these.

This is also the reason why Qin Shaoyou can easily and freehand painting now. The once toddler baby has grown up, and now it has become oneself, and its internal operation has gradually become regular, and there are more and more vested people who consciously protect it.

Since the army is stationed here, we can't be idle, so let's train here.

The army of more than 100,000 was training almost every day, and almost ignored the enemy troops in Hangu Pass, so the defenders on the pass couldn't help but have a headache, because at dawn every day, the slogans of the practice were rumbling, and the most hateful thing was the roar of the cannons. However, Qin Shaoyou followed the policy of the Guandong people not attacking Guanzhong people, but the muzzle was never aimed at the pass. Apart from the noise, the people on the pass did not have to worry.

The most hateful thing is that when it comes to meal time, in this era, most people can only maintain two meals in the morning and evening, so there is no saying that lunch is at all. It is precisely because of this. Although the imperial guards on the city tower barely eat, and although it is impossible to kill pigs and sheep, there is still white rice.

But they just had two meals, two meals...

As soon as noon came, smoke rose from the pass, and then countless cattle and sheep transported through the canal began to be cooked and slaughtered, and the smell of meat suddenly dispersed. The fragrance of the gate was full of strong fragrance, and the aroma of meat aroused the worms in everyone's stomachs, and many garrisoners felt that they were about to control themselves.

Obviously, if the sound of cannons in the early morning and the pungent smoke were considered to be torture, then now... it is even more fatal torture.

Not to mention ordinary pawns, even some humble military officers felt a little unbearable.

After just a few days, Zhang Jin went to find Wei Xuanzhen, and the matter of stabilizing the morale of the army was naturally discussed, but he made a strange request: "If you want to stick to Hangu Pass, you must try your best to transport cattle and horses from Chang'an to cook and kill, otherwise you will continue to do so. Then Qin Shaoyou does not have to spend one soldier or one soldier, but you can break through the pass and enter Mount Tai. This matter is crucial and must not be underestimated."

It is obvious that although Wei Xuanzhen is one of the foodies, it is difficult to understand, because Wei Xuanzhen is good at Buddha and is vegetarian. Of course, a vegetarian person feels disgusted when he smells the aroma of meat. But he obviously forgot that the reason why he eats vegetarian is mostly because the Wei family is rich and has grown fish and meat since childhood. Therefore, he has an instinctive disgust towards meat. However, if these aromas of meat are arsenic to him, they are nectar to the generals of the lower class.

However, since Zhang Jin strongly requested, Wei Xuanzhen had no choice but to send a memorial immediately. After a month or two, he really provided a batch of cattle and horses. Hangu Pass was really extravagant for a while. They followed the people under the pass and cooked meat happily, eating three meals a day, but... they couldn't hold on for a few days and returned to their original state.

It's 300,000 yuan. Even if you keep eating like this, even if you sell all the Wei family, you will probably not be able to turn into a cow or horse. In order to collect these cows and horses, Wei issued many orders to exploit the people in the local area, but he can't stand this trouble.

After all, there are channels for importing cattle and horses in Guandong, and the prices paid by these channels are very low. Not only that, in some places in Shuofang, many merchants have already started to sell cattle and horses on a large scale. To some extent, the animal husbandry industry has at least a little industrial scale and a relatively stable supply in Guandong. Although it is amazing to support so many large armies, it cannot resist Qin Shaoyou's wealth. But in Guanzhong, one cattle and horse in Guanzhong will eat less than one head, and one head will eat less animal power. This is a waste of food. To put it bluntly, even if they can trade with the Turks, it is different from Qin Shaoyou's monopoly trade in tea and iron tools. At least... the price that Guanzhong needs to pay must be amazing. The beasts that have been earned with hard work will be gnawed by you 300,000 foodies, so... unless Wei's crazy.

At the beginning, Wei was willing to supply cattle and horses because the world fought against Wei, and Hangu Pass had reached a critical point. Moreover, Wei thought that Qin Shaoyou would immediately attack Hangu Pass, and the battle was about to begin. Since the people in front were fighting desperately and wanted to eat meat, of course, they had to try their best to satisfy them no matter what.

But who would have thought that this war would be so exhausted, and it took months to take a few moments. During these months, the Shence Army and the Five Military Camp under the pass were not at all moving. It is said that Qin Shaoyou often brought people to hunt, and although the sound of cannons rumbled, it did not hit the pass.

Wei's ability to bear the meat of a large army for a month does not mean that she can supply it for a year or two, so naturally, two meals a day have become the norm again. Of course, there will be meat star. It's a pity that for those defenders who have a big fish and meat for a while, this seems to be even more uncomfortable.

There was much less solemn atmosphere at Hangu Pass. Since the Wei army at the pass did not attack, the people at the pass did not dare to cause trouble. Even in the Huguan River outside Hangu Pass, there were even Wei soldiers who went to pick up water and take a bath after training.

You know, this has entered the range of bows and arrows in Hangu Pass, but the defenders at the pass were nervous for a while, but in the end they pretended that they had not seen anything.

Just kidding. Now everyone can barely maintain this balance of power. There are still a few good days left for everyone. If you shoot arrows, you will certainly kill a few Wei soldiers. But next, not to mention angering people and directly attack the pass, just turn the guns during the practice at Hangu Pass. With this kind of bombing every day, the losses of the defenders at Hangu Pass will be ten times a hundred times that of the Wei army at the pass.

Since the other party is not hostile for the time being, the best choice is to pretend to be an ostrich and just waste it.

Sometimes at night, there are many singing sounds coming from the gate. Most of them are crowded around a bonfire. The daytime practice is too tiring, and the life in the army is depressed. Various operas and songs in Luoyang City have already emerged. Moreover, because more and more ordinary people have enough food and clothing, they have begun to have a certain amount of money. This leads to the fact that opera is no longer just the nobles of the princes and nobles as listeners. Therefore, in order to attract the general public, many operas have become more rough, and have washed away the literary rhythm, but are mostly straightforward and simple.

The characteristics of this kind of song are often that it has a wide audience and looks straightforward, but it is more favored by most people.

The culture of opera has begun to be introduced into the army. At night, there were first people yelling a few times. Then everyone started to cheer and sang loudly. More and more people gathered to sing, and the military officers were generally not restricted. After all, everyone knew that everyone was nervous and hard, and it was only just one or two hours that could relax. The defenders on the pass gradually adapted to it. It turned out that the Wei army under the city would probably sing loudly when it reached a certain hour, and because many people sang together, they could even hear the pass clearly. Gradually, everyone was familiar with this melody. The defenders on duty at night would yell a few times.

At the beginning, the defenders would still be restrained. This was a song sung by the thief army. If you sing such a song, wouldn’t it be impossible to rebel? But later, I was too lazy to pay attention to it, because this matter was repeatedly banned, and there was no content in the song that violated the ban. There was no slander of the Holy Lord, nor did I spend Empress Wei. Most of them were lyrics and songs that missed my hometown.

So, at a certain hour, the sky was dim, and the smell of meat finally dissipated, and the defenders on duty burped. Of course, there was no meat smell in the burp. It was a pity that the traditional project was about to begin. Then a sound came from the pass. When the people on the pass understood, they sang today, "Out of the Pass". Instinctively, he could almost recite these lyrics. It was probably an invasion of foreign races, defending the country, men packed their clothes and left their hometown, the elders were reluctant to leave, and wives and children were looking forward to each other.

Things, people in Guanzhong also like to sing this story, so there are roars at the Guankou and the Guankou. After singing, they are still not satisfied. There is no hurry. The old driver is very experienced. After half of the incense stick, it is the next song. Today's first song is out of the Pass. The second song is mostly "Daughter Marry". This song is relatively gentle and the tune is long at that time. Don't let the Shence Army sing. These people are crazy, and there are the most people in Mengjin. The accent of the Mengjin people is strange. There is always a strange emphasis. If you sing with them, you will most likely be led by them.

Sure enough, the unique monster emphasis of the Mengjin people sounded, and no one responded to the person behind the door. Suddenly, the moon was a little miserable, and it was a tortured night. It was better to practice artillery under the city, and at least he could hear a sound.

I have to say that the operas and songs in Kanto, because of their simple tone and simple lyrics, are extremely attractive to the defenders on the pass. Although people like Wei Xuanzhen sneer, they can't resist the listeners of the songs in the past few days. At this time, the defenders on the pass have begun to forget the war in front of them.

Life here is actually quite good. Although I left my hometown and had been worried and afraid, now, everyone has found that the enemies under the city are not fierce, and they even have some love. The defenders in the pass have summarized many impressions, such as they have meat every day, and they whirlwind when they arrive in the daytime. When they practice, they shout various commands and the sound of cannons rumbling. It seems very hard, but... it doesn't seem too bad. Moreover, the songs they sing are very interesting. Almost every once in a while, new songs are coming out. This new song... At first, they are weird in their voices, but slowly accepted them, and they actually find it very nice, and when they sing it, they are also very happy.

Overall, being a thief army does not seem to be a bad thing. Of course, at most, everyone only had this idea, but no one dared to do this. Sometimes the Wei army under the city would come to protect the river to carry water, and occasionally say hello to the people who were closed. The people who were closed shouted loudly and scolded them to leave quickly, and then acted as if they were preparing to bend their bows and shoot arrows. The people under the pass were not afraid, and they slowly carried water. Some people actually washed up and left satisfied. After they left, the people who were closed shot a few arrows down. The military officers shouted a few times and reported the news one hour later that the thief was coming to harass them. The defenders were brave and shot arrows back. The thief was afraid and fled in panic.

At the beginning, Wei Xuanzhen and Zhang Jin really believed these nonsense, but they were full of news every day, and they came back to the scene before shooting a thief army to death. But at this time, they were not so bold that they wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, because everyone at the bottom did this. Now it has been a long time for a few days. If something happened, who would know if there would be a mutiny in the army?

In the end, I had to turn a blind eye and pretend to believe it.

Now... in spring and winter, the weather is getting colder and colder. In the early morning of every day, layers of thin ice will form on the walls of the pass. A few days ago, a cold rain fell, and ice tines formed under the eaves of the city tower, and they fell down every now and then.

This year's winter seems to be a little colder than in previous years.
