Chapter 713:Life is Not Easy These Days

Hulan was the child of an ordinary herdsman in the Chahar Dotros, and because he was physically strong and riding a little, his leaders often conscripted him to fight with tribal leaders from the age of eighteen.

At first he was confused and understood, he did not know why he fought, but he gradually understood that the war was for money, or that it was better to let himself live, from the tribal leader to his ordinary psalm, everyone's purpose was actually the same.

After many wars, he learned a lot from the old man who had been through the battle, he learned how to avoid danger, he learned how to save his life on the battlefield, more importantly, he learned how to make money in the valley of the grass, so his family's days are more and more red, his parents therefore have more cattle and sheep, he also has a mother-in-law, with a pair of lovely children.

However, in recent years, his family was less than one day, because the head of the tribe had not conscripted him to fight, and the drought on the grasslands was getting worse and worse, there were fewer and fewer places tograse, and the grass was gradually withered.

Looking at the dwindling cattle and sheep and the children, his heart is getting heavier and heavier, how can he get down, the cattle and sheep will only be less and less, if the cattle and sheep are gone, what kind of life does the family rely on?If only we could fight!

His wish was miraculously fulfilled, and on that day, several families they gathered together received a notice from the head of the tribe to quickly pack up their homes and prepare to move.

Many people are worried, but Hulan is happy to blossom, because he knows that this is a precursor to war.

Sure enough, the next day, the head of the tribe told him to take the guy and prepare to fight.

He put on his leather armor with excitement, and left with a long bow on his back, carrying a horse-knife, and then he saw countless people rushing in the direction of the chief of the tribe, almost the same as when the war a few years ago.

Soon he gathered with the great tribal army and the cavalry of the Chahar ministries, rushing like a torrent to the south, to the border of Daming.

He thought that this time he was going to make a fortune again, but unfortunately, before the Great Wall of the Daming Empire, the tribal leaders ordered the camp in situ, and then, and then, in front of the camp, he finally saw a bright army cavalry in front of the black pressure, that number, it seems that there is no less than them.

His heart began to sink, and he even began to think about how to escape, because he knew that there were not many cavalry in the Ming Army, and all the elites gathered together were elites, and in the same number, they were not rivals at all!

Fortunately, this battle did not start, and the leaders of the two sides discussed for a while before the formation and withdrew their troops.

With a sense of loss, he returned to the tribal gathering place, returned to his camp, saw his elderly parents, and saw his young children, his heart was instantly heavy.

What to do?

Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, the reaction speed is getting faster and faster, they want to hit the grass valley have no chance, the grass on the grassland is less and less, his hands will be less and less, what to do in the future?This life cannot be sustained!

Hulan, who had lost hope, sat in the camp's tent and pondered for a day without thinking about anything, at this time, the head of the tribe sent someone to ask, there is a job to make money, no need to knife and bow, no need to work hard, as long as there is strength, at least a penny a day, go to go?

And such a good thing!

A penny a day, ten days is one or two silver, a month is three or two, there are so many silver to buy food, plus cattle and sheep milk or something, the family can comfortably go on, go, why not go, not to be a fool!

So, he signed up to participate in the mining team, and with the young men of tens of thousands of tribes followed the leader of the tribe to the mountains dozens of miles south of the grassland.

When he first arrived at the so-called mine, he was really shocked, because the mine was surrounded by the Ming Army!

Fortunately, the tribal leader immediately told everyone that the tribe and Da Ming were not enemies, but friends.

Whether this is an enemy or a friend with Da Ming, it is not that they can decide, their tribe is not a friend of Da Ming, a moment with Daming is an enemy, a moment with Daming is an enemy, a moment with Daming is a friend, they are used to it.

In short, it is not the enemy, as long as you can earn money, even if he can go to the hinterland of Daming to dig any mine.

Then they went into the mine and started digging.

At this time, the Ming Army was very friendly to them, not only to send them tools, but also for them to eat and live for free, rice, white noodles, nest heads to eat casually, full!

Moreover, this pit is not as tired as he imagined, because the Ming Army has a lot of strange things that can save them a lot of strength.

For example, when they mine, they do not need a spade to dig, the Ming Army has a kind of carriage-like strange car, there is a big iron wheel with a big tooth in front, go up to "hug" a turn, then what kind of coal mine will rain fall from the hole wall, they just use a shovel to shovel on the line.

For example, they do not have to carry the bamboo basket a basket to carry the ore out of the mine, because the main hole has a similar to a flatbed car in the hole, with iron wheels, but it is a huge box above, they only have to pour the ore into the box, full of it and push it up, relaxed very, a few people push thousands of pounds of ore is not very laborious.

Then, the income of mining is not a day said by the tribe head of the day at least one cent of silver, Ming Army is according to the weight of the ore to send money, dig 5,000 pounds of mine, they can be divided into one or two silver, and like him such a strong labor force, a day can dig at least more than two thousand pounds of mines, if you increase, get up early black, a day three thousand pounds is not a problem.

In the first month, there were more than a dozen pieces of silver in his hand!

How does so much money become food?

They used to buy food is not easy, if it is better to be friends with Daming, run to the market near the Great Wall to buy, one or two silver can almost buy a hundred pounds of grain, if with Daming as an enemy when it is troublesome, it is difficult to buy food, sometimes they have to run to Liaodong to buy, and the price is high and frightening, a hundred pounds of grain is almost two silver!

He began to worry, if he went home, and then went to the mutual market on the side of the Great Wall to buy a few times of food, at least ten days, these ten days is three or four silver!

He was worried, suddenly came a cheer in the barracks, it turns out, the guard here Ming army announced a good news, they have a food supply, rice white noodles, through one or two silver a stone, how much, but also responsible for the delivery, you just hand over the silver, they will help you to send home, if you do not worry, you can follow the food team back!

Hulan knew that a stone was a big Ming saying, more than 150 pounds.

Such cheap food, but also sent home, then what to say, buy!

He did not hesitate to buy ten stone grain, and then followed the Ming Army delivery carriage back home, looking at the surprise of his family, he did not mention how beautiful, this day, there is a rush.
