Chapter 2070: More People Returning on the Snowy Road
People from other tribes showed Jiang Gang a grateful smile, although due to the low temperature, their facial muscles were stiff and their smiles were uglier than crying.
They didn't care who made the decision behind them, they only knew that Jiang Gang in front of them was responsible.
How could His Majesty know that Jiang Gang didn't help to contact?
They just surrendered this year and were immediately assigned things to do.
They just had to collect their weapons, unlike the tribesmen who were kneeling next to them.
Even so, it was not bad! There is no money to make in winter! Winter consumes the harvest in summer and autumn.
In autumn, grass is stored and it will be hard to resist when winter comes.
The heavy snow in the first two days of this year, when it was replaced by surrendering to the Tang Dynasty... Oh! I dare not think about it.
People in their twenties and thirties have never encountered such heavy snow.
They were picking pine nuts at the time, and the teams in front and behind all went into the forest and relied on the forest to resist.
The subsequent rescue was carried out by horse-drawn sleds, and everyone was fine, with many people and supplies.
Family is the most important, and the people who came to rescue said that they lived in a stable place.
As for the loss, there were a few sheep missing, so everyone killed them for mutton soup, and the snow removal work was tiring.
After comparison, people from other tribes found that their current life was good.
"At most half a month, we will finish the pine nut picking activity and go home to live on the warm kang." Jiang Gang thought everyone was anxious.
"Half a month is not enough, it's better to go back before the New Year."
Some people were indeed anxious and thought the time was too short.
Working in the forest, they made money every day, with a sheep on the left and a sheep on the right.
"People can bear it, but horses are tired. Livestock should be allowed to rest and fatten up in winter.
A batch of horses can't walk when they return. If a batch of horses is replaced, the horses that are resting will not be able to recover in a month.
If horses are replaced continuously, will the combat effectiveness of the Tianbing Army and the Yokono Army still be maintained?"
Jiang Gang felt sorry for the horses. They ran 1,500 to 1,600 miles in the snow, and the return distance was the same.
The extra 20% felt too little, and adding another 20% was about right.
The person who objected just now lowered his head and kept silent. He remembered that all the horses transported now were military horses, and they could not be used as draft horses.
"Come next autumn. It's not suitable to pick pine nuts in winter, but hunting is OK."
Jiang Gang comforted everyone, next year's work will be fine next year.
He thought in his heart that farming would start next year and everyone would have work to do.
Teaching a group of nomadic tribes to farm is so stressful!
According to the host, the muscles of the body are used in different positions.
If a person who is good at riding a horse is asked to plant rice, he will be so tired that he will fall into the paddy field in half a day, or sit down and plant rice backwards.
Why not plant rice while walking forward? The rice seedlings will be stepped on, the legs will be apart and the waist will be bent, the rice seedlings will avoid it, and the person will be useless.
"Fill the soup, fill the soup." Someone saw that there was little time left and called everyone to work quickly.
……
"Can you go back in half a month?" In the Northeast, the tribal leader Ajin looked at the huge team and asked Li Endong.
"One month?" Li Endong was uncertain, the team had expanded to 50,000 new people.
Including them, there were more than 56,000 people, old and young.
The old people among them have a low status in their tribes and should be eliminated in winter.
It is not clear how many heavy snows there will be this winter. Rather than leaving the tribe and dying, it is better to sell yourself.
Make money for the tribe and follow the Tang Dynasty. It is best to live, and there is no regret if you die.
The children and women in the team are pure slaves. They are bought. Generally, children are weak, and strong ones are not sold.
Other male slaves from tribes other than those who followed the Tang Dynasty are in poor health. Take the opportunity to sell them, otherwise they will die and fall into your hands.
Li Endong and his people come-->>
Don't refuse. Their requirements are simple. As long as they can see the owner alive, they can basically be cured.
Of course, there are strong slaves and good goods. The other party can't find bad slaves, and they are greedy for good things, so they can only exchange.
Later, the remaining goods were handed over to Da Zuorong. It was agreed that they would use the goods as compensation next year.
Kerosene lamps, thermoses, small mirrors, if anyone's are broken, exchange them with good ones. Bring them over when you leave the goods next year and exchange them for new ones.
Da Zuorong agreed very happily. Li Endong always felt that the other party wanted to sell at a high price while others were rich and make a fortune from it.
He couldn't control it. Anyway, he couldn't bring the goods back to the manor.
"I promise to go back before the New Year." Fan Fan said, and he was safe when he arrived at the seaside.
The telegram was sent, and the boats on the seaside were ready.
The person was sent to Haizhou, and he took the train from Haizhou to Luoyang.
The Southwest Barbarians were tired and looked after the weak.
Seeing noon, there was a relatively flat place ahead, so they set up camp.
The Southwest Barbarians were responsible for cooking and stewing. They didn't know how to stir-fry.
The big pot was divided into different situations. Those who were still strong had more fat in the meat.
The thin people were stewed with skin, tendons, liver, and lean meat.
The thin people had not consumed fat for a long time, and suddenly had diarrhea after eating oily food.
Protein and collagen were no problem, not to mention carbohydrates.
If anyone was allergic to protein, he would have died long ago without waiting until now.
The strong women who were bought at a high price and were breastfeeding would feed their own children and then the thin children of the thin women.
They had the best food. The fish under the ice were caught and quickly cleaned up. When they were frozen, they were thawed and stewed for them.
They also had wild boar thighs and braised elbows without salt. They ate them with big mouthfuls. They were allowed to eat pickles in limited quantities.
Because the saltiness of an elbow could be tasted, the salt used was guaranteed to be more than that used for pickles.
Salt was a matter of taste. Eating a little pickles made them feel comfortable.
It's like drinking soup. A big bowl of soup, add a small spoonful of salt, and it doesn't taste salty.
Make pickles separately, add half a spoonful of salt, and it will taste salty after a bite.
Drink a big bowl of soup without salt and add a third of a spoonful of salt to the pickles, it's very comfortable, but the salt intake is reduced.
This measure is taken for the wet nurses in the team. The wet nurses understand and are willing to pay.
It's agreed that when they return to the "home", they will enjoy extra benefits.
They are full of yearning for the expected home. As long as they don't take the initiative to wean, there will always be milk.
"Gradually provide them with meat with more oil and water. If there is less oil and water, they can't stand the cold."
Fan Fan took a half bowl of meat soup to warm his stomach, and came back to talk to Li Endong and others after a stroll.
"Tomorrow's, after a few days of feeding, it's really time to give oil and water." Li Ennan nodded.
"I finally understand what it means to be weak and unable to be supplemented. It is obvious that the patient lacks oil and water, but he cannot give a lot of oil and water.
Sometimes, it is even more difficult to use medicine. If you don't use strong medicine, the patient will die. If you use strong medicine, the patient will die."
Li Enbei thought that he had realized the true meaning of medicine and went back to study medicine.
"Our owner is not afraid. At most, he will...what is it called? Oh! Supportive treatment."
Li Enzhong swallowed the meat in his mouth and said with nausea.
He was tired of eating meat. He usually had no shortage of meat.
At present, he gritted his teeth and insisted on eating. If he didn't eat, his body couldn't bear it. He would go back to the village to ask Dongzi to treat him.
"Yes, we can speed up the process only if we take good care of them."
Li Ennan ate a few more pickles, and at most, he would drink more water.
"Keep your emotions stable. The longer you go back, the more challenging it will be." Fan Fan reminded him not to have any problems.
