Chapter 951 Why do the Gaoshan people like to live in the mountains?
A confident look appeared on Maidelibala's face: "However, just as no one understands the dangers of those Tartars better than me, no one knows better than me where those Tartars are hiding."
Xianli Yuan Buhua thought that might not be the case. After all, no matter how well you know, you can't possibly know more than your father.
Besides, not all of your uncles and maternal uncles are fools; they might have already moved away somewhere else.
While inwardly cursing, Xianli Yuanbuhua cautiously advised, "My lord, the decree from the emperor orders you to return... return to His Majesty to fulfill your filial duties. What if... what if..."
"If Your Excellency goes directly to Liaodong instead of returning to the northern desert, wouldn't that be disobeying the imperial decree?"
"If the higher-ups investigate..."
Buyer No. 8 glanced at Xianli Yuan Buhua with a look of pity for the mentally challenged, and while walking towards the ship, he said sarcastically, "If it is only me who disobeys the imperial decree, this matter will naturally be difficult to explain."
"But aren't His Highness the Crown Prince and his son-in-law still here?"
"With the two of them holding things up, the sky won't fall down."
"Besides, what did I say to my superior back then?"
“If you do not kill me, and I regain control of Mongolia, I will strive to restore friendly relations between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, and I guarantee that I will never again invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty.”
"If I can restore the friendship between the Han and the Mongol people when I return to the Yuan Dynasty, I can do the same as if I were a marquis of the Ming Dynasty."
"When the Han and Mongol people are one family in the future, you can tell me whether I have fulfilled my promise?"
"Why add another twist of fate, capturing and releasing seven times!"
Listening to the absurd logic of the man who bought the goods, Xianli Yuanbuhua was filled with despair.
What's going on?
You can do whatever you want with the Ribala you bought.
The problem is, what should I do if I, Xianli Yuan, don't spend money?
As for the Ming Dynasty, I failed to send you back to the Yuan Dynasty to inherit the throne, which means I have failed to fulfill the mission entrusted to me by the new emperor.
As for the Yuan Dynasty, I failed to bring back the only prince, and even went with the prince to Fenglangjuxu. The key point is that I was just taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's Crown Prince and Prince Consort's Fenglangjuxu, which is equivalent to being a sinner of the Yuan Dynasty.
Is it all my fault, Xianli Yuanbuhua's fault, inside and out?
……
The weather in Liaodong is getting hotter and hotter.
The numerous waterlogged areas that have not yet been filled in have bred a large number of mosquitoes and flies, and snakes, insects, rodents and ants have also begun to appear frequently.
Realgar, mugwort, and almost every other method that could be used to control snakes, insects, and rodents were tried, but the final result was that they were all useless.
"We still need to fill the bladders first."
Yang Shaofeng stood in front of a puddle outside the Guide Prefecture Farm with a gloomy face. "If we don't fill these things in, there will only be more mosquitoes and flies next year."
Zhu Biao's face was equally gloomy: "This is not easy to handle. There are so many waterlogged areas everywhere. I don't know how many people it will take to fill them all."
Chang Mao scratched his back, looking distressed, and said, "Your Highness is right, things are actually not that bad here."
"At least there is still coal gangue from the western mining area that can be used to pave roads, and the pace of repairing these waterlogged areas is also accelerating."
"If it were anywhere else, let alone repairing the ponds, they might not even be able to fix the place where we live."
Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
From Liaoyang to Shenyang, and then from Shenyang to Guide, I didn't see much else along the way, but I certainly saw plenty of ponds and all sorts of wolves and tigers.
Both the number of ponds and the frequency of tiger, leopard, jackal and wolf sightings are greater than in the Liaoyang area.
Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Biao and Yang Shaofeng, then turned to Hu Weiyong and asked, "Is it the same the further north you go?"
Hu Weiyong hummed in agreement and replied, "Li Xiang is right. The further north you go, the worse the situation becomes."
"Whether it's a pond, a tiger, a leopard, a jackal, or the harsh winter, it's all the same."
"Moreover, the further north you go, the earlier winter comes and the later spring arrives."
"As far as I know, winter arrives as early as August in the far north, and the land doesn't thaw until May."
Li Shanchang was a little confused.
Winter arrives in August, and the weather doesn't thaw until May. Does that mean there's only one summer all year round?
No, I've heard of land annexation, but how can it be annexed given the seasons and climate of Liaodong?
Just as Li Shanchang was internally ranting, Yang Shaofeng chuckled and said, "Go further north, and there isn't even a summer; it's winter all year round."
Li Shanchang was stunned and looked at Yang Shaofeng, asking, "It's freezing cold all year round? Can anyone still live there?"
Yang Shaofeng said, "It's hard to say whether the people of our Great Ming can adapt, but there are definitely people in that wretched place."
"As far as I know, the true far north is bitterly cold all year round, and the local people live in igloos and lead a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood."
"They do not farm; they live by fishing and hunting."
"The people there are skilled at raising dogs. Their dogs look like wolves, are good at running, and can pull sleds. The local people use sleds as a means of transportation."
"Unfortunately, those dogs aren't very bright; they're prone to making stupid mistakes once they leave the frigid environment."
"There is also a type of bear in the area that is pure white and unafraid of the cold."
"..."
Yang Shaofeng started spouting nonsense, picking out things from his memory and talking a bunch of rubbish.
Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and others were completely dumbfounded.
After a long while, Chang Mao tentatively said, "People from the far north probably aren't very bright, are they?"
"If they had any sense at all, they would have known to migrate south."
"Even if it's just running off to the northern desert to herd sheep, it's still better than suffering in the frigid far north, right?"
As Chang Mao finished speaking, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but rub his forehead and asked, "Brother Mao, do you think the Dongman like to go into caves? Do the Sanmiao like to go into the mountains?"
This is similar to someone asking why the indigenous people of the Gaoshan tribe like to live in the mountains.
That's extremely impolite.
Yang Shaofeng was internally ranting, while Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said, "Let's not worry about the far north for now. The most important thing right now is the problem in Liaodong."
At this point, Li Shanchang turned his gaze to Hu Weiyong and asked, "With so many prisoners suddenly appearing this time, what are Governor Hu's plans?"
Hu Weiyong chuckled twice and said, "I plan to send all the prisoners who came this time to work on road construction."
"I've already figured it out. If we don't build the road first, nothing else matters."
"All that talk about reclaiming wasteland and building settlements, or mining coal and smelting iron, is just empty talk."
"Without roads, grain and supplies from inside the Great Wall cannot be transported in, and coal and steel from Liaodong cannot be transported out."
"Even coal from coal mines is difficult to transport to iron mines."
The only pity is that some people are too wasteful. They couldn't wait to pick up the butcher's knife in Jiangnan and killed people in droves, without considering how much Liaodong needed manpower.
