Chapter 830: desolate
Chapter 830 Desolation
This time, in order to catch up with the team in front, the team passed through ordinary towns without stopping, and only when it was late would they find a town to stay overnight and replenish dry food.
The world is hot and cold, the people's lives are difficult, and money is tight. It is a bit difficult for the team to buy a large amount of dry food in the towns they pass by. Sometimes there are not enough restaurants in a town for the team to make temporarily.
Want to buy dry food?
I'm sorry that there is not enough food in the town, I bought it all for you, will the restaurants in this town still be open in the next few days?
The people in the town also need to eat.
Tan Anjun understood their refusal and did not force it.
He asked the fire fighters in the team to borrow their kitchens for a while, and used the food in his team to make enough dry food for a day, and did the same when they arrived in the next town.
The team moved quickly in this way.
The further north they go, the more desolate they become, and everyone's hearts are getting heavier.
Marching and fighting are hard work, especially in ancient times. Compared with marching and fighting, their team marching this time has a few levels less, but Yang Laner and the children still feel miserable.
Not to mention the bumpy itinerary, the dust gets bigger and bigger as you go. All the items in the carriage will be covered with a thick layer of dust after a day of driving, including the people sitting in it.
Every time I go to the ground to rest at night, I wash off the dust all over my body, and the bath water turns into yellow soup.
Not to mention eating, the children are not used to eating, especially in the past few days, the two little treasures have dry throats and cough a bit.
Now, Tan Anjun is in a hurry.
When resting at the inn at night, he said to Yang Lan'er: "It won't work like this. Yu'er Kun'er has been exercising for the past few years. They may be able to persist in reaching Liangzhou Prefecture, but the three treasures and four treasures are not good. They are small and physically fit. I can't keep up with the exhaustion of the journey."
Yang Lan'er felt distressed, but she was not as anxious as Tan Anjun. Maybe it was because she had seen it a lot in her previous life. It is normal for children to catch a cold and cough.
Besides, she is confident in her medical skills, and she only needs to drink the potion she prepared for two days to be cured.
But she won't remind the man, she wants him to see that their mother and son can travel thousands of miles for him, and how hard it is to follow him to Liangzhou Mansion to endure hardships.
"What do you say? You can't make the team stop and wait for the sake of three treasures and four treasures?"
At this time, Sanbao coughed a few times, and the voice was crunchy with the unique milky sound of a child.
But it was also because of this crunchy milk voice that Tan Anjun's heart trembled when he heard it, and his heart ached so badly that he patted Sanbao's back lightly, seeing that Yang Lan'er's expression was not in a hurry, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart of.
He pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said: "When you set off tomorrow, don't let the maids enter the carriage you are sitting in to serve. You send the children into the space, and let them stay in the space when you are on the way. I will be responsible for guarding the carriage outside the carriage." , no one will notice the abnormality."
Yang Laner asked back: "Three treasures and four treasures are okay, but Yuer Kuner and the others are sensible. Are you afraid that they will accidentally shout out in the future and let others know my peculiarity?"
Of course she is willing to let the children enter the space, but before she wanted Yuer Kuner to enter the space, he objected, saying that the children are grown up, and they are not strict about their mouths, afraid that they will accidentally reveal them to outsiders.
Tan Anjun: "Let's finish this time first, Yu'er Kun'er, I will tell them not to speak out. Besides, Liangzhou Prefecture will be our own territory in the future."
Yang Lan'er did not expect that because of the coughing of the two little treasures, he would compromise, and she nodded: "Listen to you."
Hurry up all the way, on the twenty-fifth day, Yang Laner's team caught up with the food and supplies team escorted by Xiao Wuduanyan.
**
Liangzhou city in late autumn, Yang Laner's first impression was the strong wind and yellow sand, desolate and remote.
Liangzhou borders on the grassland in the north, faces the western Xinjiang in the west, and Bingzhou and Yizhou, which are more prosperous than it, on the other two sides.
In the previous life, Liangzhou was synonymous with desolation and tragedy, and the Hexi Corridor was the throat of the Silk Road.
Medicinal materials, spices, stone honey, wine, gold, silver, copper and other precious metals from the Western Regions entered the Central Plains through Liangzhou Prefecture, and tea, silk, porcelain, etc. from the Central Plains flowed into the Western Regions and other places from here.
It can be said that Liangzhou is a logistics transfer point between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
Today's Desert Dust has not yet shown its importance or strategic importance. Daying Kingdom has always closed the country and does not open trade with foreigners. Liangzhou Prefecture is really similar to Liangliang.
Otherwise, Tan Anjun and his wife would not have taken advantage of it.
That's why Yang Lan'er readily accepted Emperor Changxing's absurd will to change fiefdoms.
When entering Liangzhou city gate, Yang Laner opened the curtain and took a look outside. The city wall was dilapidated and the city gate was low, which was incomparable with the newly built ancient city wall in later generations.
As a city that may develop into a Northwest fortress in the future, the most important thing is to have a strong defense and excellent software and hardware facilities in order to be invincible in the Northwest.
Leaving aside the software, the most important thing about the hardware facilities is that the city wall needs to be rebuilt, heightened and strengthened, in preparation for the battleground for future military strategists.
Yang Lan'er set a small goal for herself as soon as she entered Liangzhou City. I don't know if Tan Anjun's shoulders can bear it?
The staff of the Liangzhou government office cleaned the back office room early, preparing to welcome the new owner.
Master Liang of the state capital greeted Tan Anjun at the gate of the city, and wanted to welcome them to the Houya to rest, but Tan Anjun refused.
If she had known that she would come to Liangzhou, Yang Lan'er had already arranged for someone to come to Liangzhou Mansion to take care of everything. In terms of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, the most important thing was living. Of course, she didn't want to settle for it.
Across the street from the government office, a private house has been renovated and tidied up, and Yang Lan'er and his party can live comfortably once they return to the house.
Setting up property and personnel, seven days passed by in a hurry.
Tan Anjun has been busy since the day he entered the city, busy taking over government affairs and military affairs. In the past seven days, Yang Lan'er has not even seen him, let alone talked to him.
Waiting for the rest of the family to come back to life, the day was postponed for a few days.
Yang Lan'er can't help in other places, but she can resume her old job.
I heard that Liangzhou prefecture has a lot of land and few people. There are not many other things but a lot of land.
Liangzhou City is located on a plain. Outside the city gate, it can be said that the land outside the city can be used to grow crops. Of course, some of the nearby land has been occupied by some local aristocratic families.
Yang Lan'er wanted to plant land and had to enclose land farther away.
Riding on the horse, Li Chun looked at Yang Lan'er who was looking at the land in front of him and smiled, and asked: "Master, this place is not far from the city gate, and seeing that this land can be cultivated, why no one came to enclose the land? "
Yang Lan'er looked back at her, looked at the flat wasteland, and joked to herself: "Because I, the pioneer king, didn't come!"
Li Chun smiled mischievously, the master became mischievous again.
Several horses and steeds walked slowly under the sky with their owners on their backs. Several people rode to check around, and they were quite satisfied with this land.
At this time, Gu Yu asked: "Master, you want to develop these wastelands, do we have so many people? I see that there are not many laborers in Liangzhou city?"
Yang Lan'er glanced at Gu Yu approvingly, she liked Gu Yu's temperament, calm yet smart, understanding yet gentle and careful, she was simply the best among maids.
Ha ha!
In a good mood, Yang Lan'er explained to them patiently: "Your observation is very careful, it is indeed difficult to recruit corresponding labor in the city, and the biggest shortcoming of Liangzhou Prefecture is the small population. With a small population, the demographic dividend is correspondingly small.
However, don't worry about this, Zeng Qingsheng is their biggest customer in the tooth shop along the way from the capital city. "
Population, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they can do activities, she asked Zeng Qingsheng to buy them.
Li Chun was in a daze: "No wonder I haven't seen him in a while."
"He was procrastinating, the speed of the team is too large to keep up with us, and we should be able to arrive in ten and a half months."
