Chapter 31 Some credit, more points

"If this thing is really as good as Brother Yang said, please keep it confidential for now."

Captain Huang lowered his voice and said, "There are many Hu people in the capital. If it is spread, it may be detrimental to our Tang Dynasty."

Yang Hao shook his head and said, "Brother Huang, there is no need to worry. Xiaoshu and I will not talk to others. But if we want to keep it confidential, we don't need to overreact. So what if we know it?"

If you want to talk about Hu people's caravans coming and going, would the Hu people not know?

But why did the merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty never spread horse iron to the Central Plains?

Because the Hu people came from the Western Regions and used camels to transport them. The horses' performance in the desert is even worse than that of donkeys.

So there is no horseshoe.

The Turks have more horses. The Western [2] The Turks occupy Central Asia. They might have known about horseshoes for a long time, but they are useless.

Then why?

Because, Ma Tie is not a technology that can be kept confidential at all. The key to limitation lies in the control of resources.

Without iron, the Turks are just a big deal.

For the Central Plains, a few iron pieces are only a few dozen cents long. That is nothing to say about the price of a war horse.

But for the grassland people, a few iron pieces may be just a sheep or even half a horse to get it back.

They don't care about horses, and they don't want to use such a large cost to protect a horse's hooves.

With iron, it is better to hit a saber and make a few more arrows.

So even if the Turks know that Ma Tietie exists, they can't love it! At most, they just have a small amount of equipment.

And even if they don’t know what horseshoe is, how long can this secret be kept?

There is constant friction between the borders of the Tang Dynasty. Who can guarantee that the horses with horseshoes will not be captured?

Therefore, there is no need to treat it as a military secret.

Yang Hao gave this analysis to Huang Xiaowei: "The most important thing now is to send this thing to the sandbank."

"Why didn't you report it directly to the court?"

Yang Haowen almost touched his forehead: "Brother Huang, let me tell you. Look, there will probably be no big war in these two years. Why should I rush to implement it?

"It's better to verify its function at the border first. Then, General Niu will report it. General Niu has a high position and has been verified again. The court will pay more attention to it. You sent it to you, and General Niu will forget your contribution?"

Those who can be sent by General Niu to Beijing to escort military rations are naturally deeply trusted.

Moreover, as long as Niu Jinbao is not stupid, he will not erase the credit of Captain Huang.

Otherwise, wouldn't others be disheartened? Who would be willing to believe him?

"Luckily Brother Yang's advice." It was still very cold, and Captain Huang was indeed sweating. If he passed the general and reported it, the general would definitely be dissatisfied with him.

He will live under the command of the general in the future.

Yang Hao smiled and said, "Brother Huang was also anxious for a moment. Even if there was no reminder from others, he would think of this when he went back."

He paused and reminded: "This is not the military merit of several heads. I gave you this head, and one less person. The more people contribute to this kind of contribution, the more people participate, the more they will be."

"Brother, I've been taught!" Huang Xiaowei said with a smile. But he was still muttering in his heart: the more people involved, the more credit they have.

"Brother Xi, study hard by your husband's side." He sighed. "If I could have a guide like Brother Yang at your age, my grade would be a few more levels."

Xi Xiaoshu kept listening to the two of them silently, feeling confused.

Hearing what Huang Xiaowei said, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lang is very capable, and the young ones admire him the most. He must learn things with him."

After getting the horseshoe, Captain Huang felt like he had grass growing in his heart. He seemed to be unable to sit still.

Seeing him like this, Yang Hao said, "Brother Huang, I will get drunk if I drink again. After noon, I still have something to do and will return to my hometown early tomorrow morning... Why not drink this today? Let's drink it again in the future?"

Captain Huang was thinking about sending someone to send the horseshoe to the sandbank soon.

Hearing what he said, he would not agree: "Brother Yang is very kind today, and I am very grateful. I will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

"Brother Huang is very serious. I admire a hero like Brother Huang who is willing to shed blood and sweat for the country. In that case, there is no need to say anything more."

"Haha... I'm a pedantic brother. Brother Yang is drunk, so why not go back to the inn to rest. I'll send someone to the carriage back." Huang Zhengwei clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yang, you and I will have a date in the future."

"There will be a date after work!"

Yang Hao was indeed a little dizzy.

The wine tastes high, but it seems to have some potential.

Not long after he and Xi Xiaoshu returned to the inn, the carriage was sent back.

Captain Huang is very efficient.

Yang Hao took a nap and got up to wash, but saw Xi Xiaoshu absent-minded: "Are you missing a girl?"

Xi Xiaoshu blushed and said, "Don't joke, gentleman, have I ever seen any girl?"

Yang Hao smiled and said, "I suggest that you should marry after you are twenty years old. But you can get engaged first. If you like someone, tell me. I will find a way to propose marriage to you. But if you like the little lady of the powerful family, you can only think of your own way."

Xi Xiaoshu's face stopped blushing and couldn't help laughing and crying: "How dare I hope the little lady of a powerful family like this?"

"People should have the enterprising spirit of 'marrying rich and beautiful women and reaching the peak of their lives'!" Yang Hao patted his shoulder and said, "Go out with me to do business."

"Yes, my husband." Xi Xiaoshu didn't understand the previous sentence. But he didn't ask, it was important to do the important thing.

Yang Hao went to several bookstores and specially found those travel notes to buy.

Books are very expensive, and each book costs hundreds of texts - the paper is not very good.

Xi Xiaoshu carried the book: "Mr. Lang, are you going to study?"

“It’s good to be bored at night, reading more books.”

He had no airs, and Xi Xiaoshu dared to joke with him: "I heard from those military officials that when men get married, they won't be bored at night."

"You know a lot." Yang Hao laughed. "Why would I buy you a wife and go home?"

Xi Xiaoshu had a fever on his face: "I'm not bored."

Yang Hao shook his head: As expected, he is still a child, and he blushed when he makes a joke.

This is not OK. That's it? I blushed. If it's a bad joke, wouldn't it be a fry after hearing it?

Seeing his husband walking towards a grain shop with a huge store, he hurriedly rushed over and said, "Mr., are you going to buy grain?"

Yang Hao nodded and whispered: "The weather is not good, so it is better to prepare more food."

Xi Xiaoshu nodded and said, "This is what the husband often says. If a person has no immediate worries, he must have long-term considerations?"

"That's right. Xiaoshu, you have to remember that people must have a plan to do things. With a plan, they can coordinate their affairs and things can be done smoothly and successfully."

"Yes, I remember."

"Not only remember, I also have to think more on weekdays." Yang Hao patted his shoulder. "You have to know. Although I have family, I have to separate my family, but I have no helpers. If you have experience, you will gain fame and fortune if you have the opportunity. If you don't have the chance, stay by my side and help me with things."

"Yes. Xiaoshu will definitely study hard and do his best to do his best to help the husband in the future."

Xi Xiaoshu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Lang, how can you explain the words you said to Huang Xiaomao just now, 'The more you can get more and more credit'?"

Yang Hao stopped and looked at him, smiling.

"Mr., but did I say the wrong thing?"

"I'll tell you again after I'm back to the inn."

As he said that, Yang Hao entered the grain shop: "Shopkeeper, is there any new rice from the south?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Langjun wants to buy rice? It happened that a batch of new rice came the day before yesterday and a batch of glutinous rice. I wonder how much does Langjun want?"

"Gamma? But glutinous rice?"

“That’s right.”

"How much is the rice price now?"

"Sixteen sen in rice and twenty-five sen in rice and twenty-five sen in rice."

Yang Hao calculated that at this time, a dou of rice was about five kilograms (Tangjin), about six kilograms. This price is not cheap.

However, considering the cost of shipping from the south, this price should be pretty good.

If the disaster year arrives, the food price may double.

He doesn't remember when or where there will be natural disasters.

However, he remembered that in the first few years of Zhenguan, it was either flood or drought, or locust plague.

The legend of Li Shimin swallowing locusts has been written in many novels.

So, this price is quite acceptable.

"What is the price of millet, wheat?"

"Every time the millet is twelve times, and the wheat is 9 times."

"I want three hundred stones of rice, twenty stones of glutinous rice, fifty stones of millet, and one hundred stones of wheat. I'll be able to pull it tomorrow, will you have it in your store?"

"Yes, there is enough grain in the backyard of the vulgar name. I wonder if your husband is the noble family, where is the fairy town? If there is so much rice of food, if you are in the city, vulgar name can be delivered to your door."

"Your surname is Yang, and you have to bring it back to Zheng County. You only need to prepare the grain and rice for your ID. I will come to pick it up tomorrow. I will ask him to send the deposit."

After making an appointment for the deposit amount, Yang Hao left when he came to Ramiliang tomorrow.

"Mr., I can eat so much food for a few years."

"Is it too much? I still think it's too little." Yang Hao shook his head and said, "Let's go back. If you have something to buy, you will get a deposit later. You can go around by yourself."

"I've bought everything I want to buy."
