Chapter 23 Cows

Xu Ma Gang's face darkened: "Say less, which mountain village is nearby, such as Mozhu Mountain, Zo Ling, Daguding, etc., is not less escort than Huluyan. We have gained a lot this time. Once we discover these peaks and join forces to deal with us, do you think we can resist it? If you act recklessly like you, you will die without a burial place within halfway."

"But no one dared to make an idea when I went down the mountain to rob it the previous few times!" Jiang Saner was dissatisfied.

Xu Ma Gang said sternly: "The previous few robberies were not so jealous that they were robbed. Besides, the big family you robbed was not out of the range of Huluyan! Okay, don't say it anymore, Lao Hu, please continue to talk." Xu Ma Gang turned his gaze to Hu Dadao.

"The key point of the commander is that we cannot leak winds. Before we transport goods and food, we must not let historians inform the outside world."

Xu Ma Gang frowned and said, "This commander knows!"

Hu Dadao's expression tightened and said quickly: "So it is the safest way to quickly transport large quantities of seized and leave the Shi family. It is best to ship it overnight and leave it. You must never delay staying at the Shi family."

Xu Ma Gang was a little disappointed, and Hu Dadao had no safer way.

However, Xu Mabang nodded and said, "What Lao Hu said is very much. Xu Yannian, go out and instruct the brothers of each sentry to speed up the loading of the goods and grains, and prepare to return to the mountain overnight."

The tall and strong man standing behind Xu Ma Gang agreed and turned to the outside of the hall. Feng Jian knew that Xu Yannian was the confidant guard of Xu Ma Gang. He had seen him when he visited Xu Ma Gang. He remembered that this person was a cold-hearted person.

Xu Ma Gang touched his chin and beard and pondered, "I always feel uneasy. Brothers have any tricks to tell me."

Prosecutor Feng thought for a while and clasped his fists at Xu Ma Gang: "Master, the villain has an idea that he can transport and seize it back to Huluyan with a relatively safe means."

Xu Mabang looked at Feng Jian with deep meaning: "Oh, you guy, why don't you tell me earlier if you have good ideas!"

Feng Jian coughed, touched his chin and said, "Since you are afraid of seizing it as another peak-headed bandit force robbers halfway, why don't we transport it to Huluyan separately!"

When Xu Ma Gang heard this, he became interested and shouted: "Chief Feng continued to say, how to separate the method?"

The other leaders also raised their ears and listened carefully to Feng Jian’s explanation.

"The villain's idea is to divide the mountain guards into two routes, one of which takes Mojishan Mountain to return to Huluyan. This road is the old road when we came. This road is close to Huluyan, but it is easy to be taken by thieves. The other way goes north to Huanglianding and return to Huluyan. The road is rugged and you have to go around a large circle to return to Huluyan. However, there are few thieves along the way, so it is safer to seize supplies to take this road."

Xu Ma's help urged: "Don't stop, tell me all your ideas!"

Feng Jian thought for a moment and then said, "Because the road to Moji Mountain in Sowling is easy to be robbed by thieves from the outer peaks, this road mainly attracts confusing thieves, so the guards of the village brigade must be escorted and the goods must be less. On the surface, he has to escort a lot of goods and return to Huluyan. Because the guards of the village brigade are concentrated together, even if they encounter ambushing thieves, they can at least retreat calmly, and they will not feel heartbroken if they lose some goods. The other guards escort most of the goods and grains are escorted back to Huluyan. The commander must send some elite talents in the village to escort the goods and grains overnight, and go around the Coptis Peak to return to Huluyan. Is it safer to return to Huluyan in this way?"

Feng Jian finished his thoughts in one breath, and after that, he looked at Xu Ma Gang. This was his first time to offer suggestions for a major counterfeiting operation. I wonder if the Xu Ma Gang could adopt it.

Under the gauze lamp, the leaders of the Huluyan were different. Yan Zhanwei, the leader of the Second Corps, glared at Feng Jian with a vicious look, and then turned his eyes to Xu Ma Gang, with a little anxious expression.

Jiang Saner stared at Feng Jian, hummed, and then looked at the money and food piled up outside the hall with greed eyes.

Hu Dadao looked at Feng Jian with joy, and kept nodding at Feng Jian.

Xu Ma Gang closed his eyes and thought for a while, saying, "The strategy of virtuality and real mentioned by Feng Jian is good. Two groups of people are one virtual and one real, so that the harm can be dispersed. Even if one encounters thieves in one way intercepted and killed them halfway, at least one way will be a guard who transports them back to Huluyan. Very well, this commander decided to transport them from two routes as Feng Jian said, and seize them back to Huluyan."

He nodded to Feng Jian with praise, indicating that he would fully accept Feng Jian's suggestions.

Then he looked at Hu Dadao: "Don't hesitate, everyone is ready to start the action immediately! Lao Hu, you will be in charge of Wu Shu, Ji Shu, plus Jiang Saner Geng Shu, and 100 guards from the village, escorted most of them to take the lead and take the lead back to Huluyan. We will try our best to seize them and never take advantage of those with ulterior motives. You must ensure that you return to Huluyan safely."

The Xu Ma Gang entrusted such an important task to Hu Dadao, and the intention was very obvious. Huluyan belonged to Hu Dadao in addition to him, and Sun Fang and several servants were skilled in martial arts.

Hu Dadao looked obviously excited and hurriedly left his seat and knelt on the ground: "The villain will live up to the great commander. Even if Lao Hu tries his life, he will protect this batch of goods and food and return to the village."

Xu Ma Gang nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Feng Jian again and said, "Feng Jian is superior to others in both martial arts and knowledge and thoughts. It is a blessing for Huluyan to join you. This time you will help Lao Hu transport goods and grain back to the mountain."

Feng Jian was moved by listening to the earnest words of Xu Ma Gang. Seeing the leaders present looking at Hu Dadao and himself jealously, listening to the earnest words of Xu Ma Gang, Feng Jian felt a little more moved.

Feng Jian hurriedly knelt down and took the order and said, "The villain does not let down the commander's entrustedness, cooperates with the leader Hu to transport the capture back to Huluyan smoothly."

The Xu Ma Gang nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at Sun Fang for a moment and said, "Brother Sun Fang and several surrendered servants followed Leader Hu back to Huluyan. Brother Sun, please take more responsibility."

Sun Fang, who was sitting on one side, was a little surprised. Xu Ma Gang arranged himself to Hu Dadao along the way, which showed that he was no longer wary of himself and his subordinates. He and several servants were skilled in martial arts, so following Hu Dadao along the way was also a guarantee. He hurriedly left his seat and knelt down to express his acceptance of Xu Ma Gang's orders.

Xu Ma Gang nodded and then said, "The other seven soldiers and horses followed the commander back to Huluyan along the way. We can get on the road a little later. We can prepare more wheelbarrows and big trucks, and make an attitude of escorting a large amount of goods and grain to confuse the other party. The thirteen war horses seized in Shijiabeiyuan this time followed the commander along the way. The twenty war horses seized outside the dense forest followed Hu Dadao all the way, so as to pull a truck for transporting goods and grain."

Seeing that everyone was listening to their own arrangements, Xu Ma Gang was very satisfied and continued to instruct: "Old Hu, you must step up the supervision of the mountain guards. Before the hour, you must prepare most of the money, grain and livestock..."

Soon, Feng Jian and Hu Dadao walked out of the hall together. Hu Dadao told Feng Jian to quickly hand over the post of the relocation and quickly led his post to meet with him.

Feng Jian nodded and agreed, quickly walked towards the East Village Gate, and walked to the near Shijiabeiyuan. Suddenly, a large group of cattle, sheep and livestock in front of him blocked the way. Feng Jian had to wait for the livestock to pass by.

Among the cattle herd, there were three cows with yellow and white fur, which were particularly noticeable. Feng Jian noticed that these three cows were taller than other scalpers, and there were two huge milks hanging from the bell.

Feng Jian was just curious about the uniqueness of these two cows. When he saw two huge milks, he suddenly felt excited: "The cow is actually a cow!"

Later experiences made Feng Jian deeply understand that milk has an immeasurable effect on improving human physical fitness. Modern Western races have become tall and strong because of drinking milk, and because drinking milk has allowed Westerners to avoid many plagues.

Legend has it that the first cows that appeared in China were introduced and crossed into the Yunnan border by early European missionaries and colonists in Southeast Asia during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they actually saw cows in the historians!

When Feng Jian came to this era, he realized that people did not have the tradition of drinking milk in this era. Perhaps because the local cows with hundreds of kilograms of milk per year were not enough for calves to drink. As the owner of the cow, he was really shameless to earn milk from the cows. Of course, it may also be because cattle are a production tool under the agricultural civilization, and there is enough food and you don’t have to compete for milk with cattle to drink.

However, the role of milk in strengthening the body is beyond doubt. Marco Polo said in his travel notes that when Genghis Khan's team marched for a long distance, they carried dry powdered milk as food. The Mongolian cavalry was invincible in the world. It can be said that milk plays a great role.

Feng Jian was in a state of excitement. If a cow produces five tons of milk per year, then the two cows in Shijia can produce more than ten tons of milk per year. What is this? It means that the entire Huluyan has more than 4,000 holes, and the average person can distribute more than ten kilograms of milk per year. If the milk is specially provided for counterfeit guards, it can quickly spawn a group of strong counterfeit guards. At that time, you still have to worry about the thieves around you!

I accidentally discovered a cow, which is definitely a lucky thing for the young and old Huluyan.

Feng Jian knew that male cows do not produce milk, and its main function is to encourage the mother cows to always be in the breastfeeding period, so that the mother cows can continue to produce milk.

Among these three cows, there must be one male cow and two female cows. Raising one cow is very expensive. An adult cow requires more than fifty kilograms of rough feed and more than thirty kilograms of concentrated feed and juicy feed a day. In this era, only landlords and gentry like Mr. Shi are capable of raising them.

However, Feng Jian was not worried about the feed problem of dairy cows. The most common ones in the mountains were grass and wild vegetables, which could be used as staple food for dairy cows. There was no shortage of other bean, bran, sorghum, stalks and wheat straw villages. After returning to Huluyan, he found a specialist to raise it carefully, and the cost was not very high.

Having said that, even if the cost is high, Feng Jian must do everything possible to raise cows. Because the milk has too much power and many benefits, and the two cows can continue to reproduce. As the number of cows expands, milk can meet the needs of more people and improve the physical fitness of more people.

In the future, various dairy products that can be stored for a long time can be made. Whether it is a major disaster or a military disaster, as long as there are milk and its dairy products, the villagers of Huluyan will have an additional way of survival. At the same time, in the future, Huluyan guards can marching and fighting, and these dairy products can also be used as military rations. Feng Jian later reads the information and remembers that during the expedition of the Yuan Dynasty, the soldiers carried dairy products that can be stored for a long time as military rations.
