Chapter 637

It is already summer in the land of the north of the Great Wall. Large areas of the wilderness are covered with lush greenery. Occasionally, sheep and cattle can be seen, and clouds move slowly in the blue sky.

Below, is the Mayi County Zhishanyang City that has long since become brand new. In the past, the walls of Shanyang City were made of compacted soil.

Everything inside and outside Shanyang City was very lively and noisy. People, business travelers, and herdsmen were all coming and going.

When Emperor Wu Yang Guang besieged Yanmen, almost all the cities in Yanmen and Mayi were destroyed by the Turks.

Fortunately, because the Turks retreated suddenly, and because the Sui Dynasty still had its remaining power, they were worried about being retaliated by the Sui Dynasty, so they did not massacre in Yanmen and Mayi, and the people were spared.

Since Yang Ning became a stay-at-home guard in Jinyang, and gained the support of Yanmen County Governor, he also used a large amount of grain to gain the military and people's morale in Mayi County, and completely eliminated Wang Rengong who was still on his sickbed.

Yang Ning has become the overlord who controls the entire central and northern Shanxi region. Since Yang Guang died in Jiangnan, no matter the Xiaodongdu Xiaochaoting or the Chang'an Xiaochaoting, they can't command the smiling Dongdu to stay behind.

Zheng Guogong.

After Yang Qian established a great reputation in the Central Plains, Yang Ning, as his father, has been silently and quietly continuing to grow in the northwest. His main direction is not to march and fight, and to conquer the east and west.

Instead, they vigorously managed the local area, appeased the people's livelihood, and recruited people to settle in the peaceful central and northern Shanxi Province. Today, the population of Mayi and Yanmen counties has completely returned to the old situation before the siege of Yanmen.

As for Taiyuan County, the population is booming and all industries are prosperous. After all, the wars in the Central Plains and the fighting between heroes have caused the people to be displaced. People who have lost their homes naturally migrate to a peaceful place.

In the land under Yang Ning's rule, there were elite troops to guard the area, and the officials governed Qingming, making the land in central and northern Shanxi, like the land south of the Yangtze River, a rare piece of pure land in the territory of the Sui Dynasty, which was surrounded by wars.

At this moment, in a camp outside Shanyang City, there are several hundreds of carpenters working non-stop, and in the open space aside, there are hundreds of two-wheeled cars with slightly weird styles.

car.

These two-wheeled vehicles are not too big, and are even a little on the small side. They are very suitable for one person to push and pull. The carriage is not big either, but at the end of the carriage, there is a solid baffle that is as high as the chest, which is much higher than

Both sides and front.

And on this strong baffle, there are several holes that are slightly thicker than a finger, and the back is sealed, which seems to be specially used for inserting sticks.

At this moment, Jinyang stayed behind, and Yang Ning, the Duke of Zheng in the Sui Dynasty, was walking slowly through the camp. Accompanied by the sound of knocking and sawing, he carefully looked at these drawings made based on the drawings provided by his son Yang Ning.

The weird two-wheeler that came out.

Although, well, although Yang Ning is not optimistic, at least a little confused, why his son Yang Qian is so sure that this thing can actually help infantry fight against cavalry, but when there are enough such vehicles, Yang Ning really believes it

Already.

Such a two-wheeled vehicle is cheap to make. The important thing is that it does not consume much wood and is light in weight. Even if it is not used by the army and is sold to the common people, I believe that the common people will be willing to own this high-quality, low-priced and sufficient vehicle.

A sturdy two-wheeler for home use.

Yang Ning even took it upon himself to test the ease of use of the two-wheeled vehicle, while the officials from the Craftsmanship Battalion on the side carefully waited on the big boss.

"Not bad, not bad. It's both strong and light enough. It can be pushed and pulled even on the grassland without roads. It's a good thing." After trying to pull and push for more than a hundred steps, Yang Ning said rigorously.

He nodded with a satisfied expression and smiled.

After receiving the big boss's approval, the officials and craftsmen of the craftsman camp could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Yang Ning turned his head and looked around.

Han Tong, who was standing beside him, understood what his master was looking for. "Sir, I'm afraid Li Tongshou will be arriving soon. How about we go to the pergola in front to rest first and drink some tea to cool off the heat?"

"

Yang Ning pursed her dry lips and nodded helplessly. "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's go and rest together first. We'll talk about it when Li Tongshou and the others arrive."

"Well, you'd better send someone to look for him along the way. I'm a little worried that he is too busy admiring the scenery on the roadside to miss the time."

Han Yong quickly bowed his head with a strange expression, and then assigned a soldier to beat the horse and rush out of the camp. As for what Yang Ning said about admiring the scenery, it was just the kind-hearted Zheng Guogong covering up for his cousin.

Just words.

#####

Li Keshi, the governor of Mayitong who was appointed by Yang Ning, is also Li Jing's younger brother. He is indeed very talented in military affairs. He is not only first-class in marching and fighting, but also very good at running the army. These days, he has been serving as Yang Ning's subordinate.

His right-hand man has made a lot of contributions to peace in the central and northern parts of Shanxi.

Conquering the bandits and slaying the Turkic soldiers who peeked at the border of the Sui Dynasty was a great achievement. Even Li Jing, the governor of Yanmen, a veteran, had to admit that Li Keshi was truly a talented general.

.

However, this general has a small flaw: he particularly likes hunting. What does he like to hunt? He only likes to shoot birds...

Regardless of whether they are plump deer, cheerful rabbits, or cruel wolves, even if Master Yang sees these things scurrying past in front of him, he has no personality at all.

As long as anything has wings and flies in the sky, sorry, if it comes into my eyes, it belongs to me.

It can be said that: the nature is fond of hunting, and it follows the birds at all times, and it never stops...

It is really a bit evil for such a famous general to spend all his time thinking about how to shoot birds. However, his hobby is simply natural and no one can dissuade him. He can only let him.

When they arrived at the pergola not far away, it was covered with felt cloth to block the hot sunlight and was ventilated on all sides. A pot of just the right tea filled the tea cup on the table in front of Yang Ning with a cup of steaming tea.

Yang Ning picked up the tea cup, first smelled the tea intoxicatedly, and then started his habitual action: "Suck... ha..."

Yang Ning smacked his mouth happily and saw all the officials looking at him. Yang Ning smiled heartily. "Come on, come on, everyone, come and try it together. This is the best tea that Quanzi brought for me from Jiangnan. Let's all try it."

…”

The expressions of the civil and military people around Yang Ning suddenly looked a little weird. If Yang Qian were here right now, he would definitely be in a mess inside.

Yang Qian, who mocked Tang Guogong's dog all day long, must have never thought that one day he would be affectionately called "Quizi" by his own father...
