Chapter 1887: The Captives Are Unwilling to Accept the Icy Rain
The sky was blue before, but suddenly the clouds gathered and became gloomy, followed by a drizzle of rain, which turned into small snowflakes that could not be held in the palm of your hand.
The first day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is the sixth day of the tenth month of the Gregorian calendar.
The autumnal equinox has long passed, and there are two days before the Cold Dew.
In Zheng County, the capital of Huazhou, only a few people were walking on the street wearing straw raincoats and hats.
A team of 3,000 people was marching in the rain and snow, and the horses' hooves fell on the road, making crisp or dull sounds. People stood at the door of the shops on both sides and watched.
The people looked at the team, and the 1,000 people in the team kept looking around.
"Gao Xiang, can you really fly with a hang glider? You are so famous."
Tegewu wiped the water off his face and talked to the Yulin Flying Cavalry.
His thousand-man team was trapped by the fire attack and surrendered. On the way back, they passed by Zheng County.
This little rain and snow didn't matter to them, the people of the Nine Tiele Clans, and the Yulin Flying Cavalry didn't care even more.
The Southwestern Barbarians frowned, it was cold, this kind of cold was particularly uncomfortable, but fortunately they had lived in Chang'an for several years and could bear it.
Other Southwestern Barbarians and Tiele Nine Surnames returned early, they were the last batch.
The Later Turks ran further north, their mission was over, they went home to continue studying and working.
The 1,000 captured Later Turks were no longer tied up, but they consciously did not grab the reins, indicating that I would not run, and the reins could be removed.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry and the Tiele Nine Surnames did not care whether you grabbed the reins or not, everyone was the same kind of people on horseback, and you couldn't ride a horse without reins?
How did you catch a wild horse? Throwing a lasso is not a good man.
Chase directly on horseback, a little together, jump into the air, land on the back of the wild horse, without any tools, tame the horse, this is the normal operation.
Throwing ropes, and the lasso pole "invented" by Li Dongzhu are getting worse and worse, and each generation is worse than the previous generation.
The lasso pole is more useful for catching wolves, saving arrows.
When a group of people are hunting wolves, the lasso pole is indeed convenient, but as for lassoing horses, it is embarrassing to use it.
Those with poor skills can throw ropes, which can also pull down the enemy's stag fence during war.
The lasso pole is not strong enough, and it needs to be pulled at a close distance. Is the pole that long at a distance of 20 or 30 steps?
"Gao Xiang, why don't you say anything?" Te Gewu wiped the water off his face again.
"This kind of rain is not good. It is freezing rain. It is difficult for the people to farm. I hope it won't rain heavily, otherwise the greenhouse will be covered with a layer of ice and I am afraid it will be crushed."
As a Yulin flying cavalry, Gao Xiang considers the problem from a different perspective and pattern.
He doesn't care about getting wet himself, he is worried about the people. Once they are affected by the disaster, their lives will immediately become difficult.
The light transmittance of the cloth used to grow greenhouses is not good. The cloth will rot quickly under wind, rain, snow and sun.
If the price of greenhouse vegetables is not good, using such a greenhouse to grow vegetables will lose money.
"What does it have to do with you if they don't live well?" Te Gewu thought Gao Xiang was too sentimental.
"I am a Yulin Flying Cavalry, I have to help with disaster relief, how can I have nothing to do with it?
The people are in disaster, the army is responsible. Yulin Flying Cavalry, set an example.
We can't get there in time if we are far away, so we should mobilize the local government first. We are close to Huazhou, so we will definitely come."
Gao Xiang said while observing, if necessary, he would tie up a thousand captives, and then lead everyone to help with disaster relief.
"I see that there are rich people in the shops around, if you help them, will they give you money? Will they listen to you in some things in the future?"
The ideology of Tegewu is different from that of Yulin Flying Cavalry, they only care about their own small tribe.
They can only help if other tribes give them benefits.
The benefits are not necessarily material, but can also be a request for help, proving that they are no longer capable and need help from others.
"Some of them pay taxes, some pay rent, the court takes things and doesn't care about their lives?
Li Dongzhu said that others pay rent and taxes, and wait for their houses to collapse.
You take taxes and food, you have to build them.
Say that this is insurance, and there is no need to pay an additional part of commercial insurance. Isn't the court playing rogue?
The money we get from the Yulin Flying Cavalry is actually part of the rent and taxes paid by the people.
Don't think that it is given to us directly by His Majesty. His Majesty is the Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, not the Majesty of the Yulin Flying Cavalry."
Gao Xiang tried his best to explain, hoping that the other party could understand.
The court has subsidies. Once a disaster occurs, it will open a Changping warehouse and reduce the rent and taxes of the people at the same time.
"If there are lazy people who eat and work and their houses are destroyed, and you also help them, wouldn't it encourage this situation?"
Tegewu is well-educated. Find a possibility, and this possibility is guaranteed to exist.
"Helping the majority of kind people, a small number of those people will not affect the overall situation.
Our goal is to help the victims, not to specifically target a few people who take advantage of the court during the disaster.
The goal should be achieved immediately, don't put the cart before the horse, and other departments will be responsible for individual cases."
Gao Xiang used to think that Tegewu was quite smart, but now he despises him, too stupid!
"Oh! So this is what the Tang Dynasty is like now." Tegewu got the information he needed, he was not stupid.
"I'll let you go back? I'll send a message and ask the owner first." Gao Xiang didn't care, you can understand if you want to.
"Will you still say this when I get to Chang'an and learn something?" Tegewu did not hide his purpose at all.
"Learn? I haven't learned it clearly, you learn, it's a very large system, the prime ministers are learning."
Gao Xiang despised, you are still thinking about what to learn, go ahead and learn, those knowledge is as ethereal as smoke and as vast as the sea!
If you can learn all the skills of the host, you will be like this now, why didn't you become a Khan?
The host is the kind of person who doesn't even want to be the emperor. I find it tiring and troublesome. I have to make braised pork with my wife. This day is too busy.
If it were you, would you be able to do it? Can you make braised pork? The kind that is not fishy or greasy.
Tegewu thought carefully and smiled: "You think you are not as good as Li Yi, so you are afraid of him?"
"Don't provoke me, I really can't, but I am mainly afraid that he will take me out to play. So, I will go back soon, and I will let the host take you out to play."
Gao Xiang was one of the first batch of three thousand Yulin flying cavalry. When they came out of that batch, they could all become commanders.
That period of time was a wealth and also a pain, which left a psychological shadow.
"The Tang Dynasty is well prepared!" Tegewu was very smart and didn't want to fall into the trap. He looked at the situation on both sides of the street and found the problem.
The icy rain was getting heavier, and everyone lifted the stone slabs on the hidden channel at the door and began to pile sandbags at the door.
The hidden channel became an open channel, and the water could not flood through.
The things on the first floor began to be moved to the third floor, which showed that they had experience.
"It was flooded before, and the officials of the entire state were arrested. The officials of various counties, except for the current officials of Zheng County, were dealt with. The owner personally impeached them."
Gao Xiang explained that the current water level is not high, and the people who have suffered from the disaster are concerned. Anyway, move things first.
What if it rises? After suffering a loss once, it is not allowed to fall in the same place.
"Is Li Yi good at administration?" Tegewu took the opportunity to inquire again.
"At that time, the owner came to Huazhou, and he impeached and arrested people, and took charge of administration himself.
What you see now is the result of his handling of administrative affairs. It is a waste of talent."
Gao Xiang shook his head and said something that made Tegewu entangled.
