Chapter 516: What you see

Li Mu and his party passed through Taiyuan County in the Qin State, then walked along the Fen River and then crossed the Yellow River. Enter the land of Hexi in Qin State.

Along the way, Li Mu was surprised by what he saw and heard. Qin State is starting to build roads everywhere. The folk spontaneously build country roads. These small roads are flatter than the big roads used by Zhao Guo. This is also the reason why Qin Guo has so many people using horse-drawn carriages all at once. Qin State has this road foundation.

Not only that. What Li Mu saw was that it was not the Qin people who were busy in many fields in Qin, but the prisoners of war from the north and the west. The Qin people themselves were in groups of three to five, as if they were grazing in the north, the prisoners of war were harvesting the wheat stalks in the fields and tying them into a pile. And these wheat piles will be the fodder for their cattle and sheep for the winter.

Li Mu saw it with his own eyes, as long as these prisoners of war were a little uncomfortable. The lighter ones were combined with clubs and whips, and the heavy ones were beaten to death. In the north, the rebellious nomadic tribes in the west are like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered under the taming of the Qin people. This person Li Mu was very surprised.

"General. We are about to enter the Xiangu Expressway ahead. Brothers are tired. There is a resting place right in front. We might as well stop and have a rest." A Qin Army lieutenant asked immediately. He is the security officer of Qin State responsible for the safety of Li Mu and his party.

"Good." Li Mu said with a wave.

"Resting at the rest stop ahead." After the lieutenant walked away. Then stepped forward to convey the order.

"General, please sit down." The lieutenant arranged for Li Mu and others to sit down very politely. The rest stop is huge. Because this is an important fork, many people come and go. Go south through Guyang and pass through this bifurcation. Slaves, cattle, sheep, leather and other things in the north can enter Taiyuan County, and the wheat from Taiyuan County can be transported directly to the north via the highway through this fork. Because Zhao State occupies Zhongshan, Daidi and other places, today's Shanxi Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and other places. Therefore, the foreign transportation of Taiyuan County of Qin State all relies on this high speed.

"What the general needs is available over there, here is self-service supply. Please forgive me," the lieutenant explained.

"Buffet-style supply?" Li Mu was the first time he came into contact with a buffet-style restaurant.

"Oh, just to pay a certain amount of money, all the food here can be taken at will. But it must be eaten. Drinks are also." The lieutenant explained.

Li Mu said in surprise. This is incredible. How can it be used casually. Isn't that finished?

"Well, if there are no restrictions, isn't this store at a loss?" Li Mu asked.

The lieutenant smiled and explained.

"General, as far as I know, few people have been able to eat two and a half in the cafeteria so far," the lieutenant explained.

"Oh. Why is this?" Li Mu asked.

"This is an intersection. There are many people coming and going. Especially cattle and sheep in the north. The prices here are very cheap. The wheat in Taiyuan also goes from here, so the food prices here are very low. Everything is made, and the supply is large. The cost does not cost much. One dish is at most one and a half and a half. So many dishes have to serve so many people. The store just loses but does not make money. Even if it is something that can be eaten. The store loses at most one piece of money. But other things are still profitable." The lieutenant is very young. Therefore, some questions can be asked clearly. Li Mu listened. Nodded. And I was very surprised by Qin's food supply. Qin State can supply a large amount of meat at such a low price. However, Zhao now wants to buy Qin's grain, cattle and sheep at high prices, and Zhao's current food supply is tight after the drought. This made Li Mu firmly believe that he came to Qin State this time. Historically, Qin State destroyed Zhao when a major earthquake occurred in Zhao State, and Zhao State encountered a major drought before launching the destruction of Zhao. But now history has changed. Shangwen tried his best to improve the relationship between Qin and Zhao. This allows Zhao Guo to continue to exist.

"Gendarmerie." Li Mu looked up and saw several Qin soldiers with white armbands on their arms. He read the words on the white armband along.

"Oh. This is a servant in the army, who specializes in us." The lieutenant said with a smile.

"Do you care?" Li Mu asked puzzlingly.

"Yes, this is a strategic location. There are many troops coming and going. Therefore, there are also a lot of military police stationed here. These military police do not fight and take care of us. For example, our traffic dispatch. They will make timely arrangements. In the military. There was a fight. They had to manage it in time. Anyway. They were caught." The lieutenant shook his head as he said. Obviously, the lieutenant was also very helpless to the military police.

Li Mu suddenly became interested. Qin Jun is really interesting. On the way, Li Mu had not seen such a unit. He was also the first time he saw soldiers who could control the army.

"Are these soldiers directly commanded by King Qin?" Li Mu asked

"Theoretically, it is. Actually, it is in charge of the staff." Lieutenant said.

"The General Staff?" Li Mu asked suspiciously. what is this?

"Ah, when there is nothing to do. It is assumed that the enemy of the Qin State is there. They line up on the sand table. The officers who can enter there. Basically almost all can be generals." The lieutenant said.

"Oh." Li Mu nodded. It can be seen. This lieutenant also has a little knowledge of the staff. Li Mu couldn't help sighing. If not for a visit to Qin country in person. I'm afraid, he really didn't know that the actual changes in Qin were so big.

"Let's go. There is a good show to watch." Several armed men armed with guns hurried out of the restaurant. Li Mu followed out curiously.

"Come and see. Come and see. Huns against ten North Korean dogs." I saw a slave trader with a revolver around his waist shouting outside the door.

"I'm happy today, young master. Have fun with slaves." He said he took the whip and beat the North Korean slave to attack the Hun prisoner of war. The Hun prisoner of war looked very ugly. The nose is flat and the face is extremely ugly. It's like kneading with a handful of mud. The skin is exuding. She was wearing that leather jacket that had been worn for a long time. Many Qin people onlookers felt sick when they saw it. The thick, hairy arms were bare. The ten North Koreans were all dressed in sackcloth and looked like individuals. Dirty all over. Let the Qin people think they are as annoying as the Huns.

"Ah." The Huns shouted and frightened the ten Koreans. The Qin people around were indifferent. Some people shook their heads and looked at the trembling North Korean with a sneer.

"What is this for?" Li Mu asked puzzledly.

"Oh. This is quite a newspaper advertisement. This is a road intersection. People from Taiyuan County come here to buy slaves. People from the government also come here to buy roads. In order to attract people. Slave traders did this deliberately." Lieutenant's eyes He said as he watched the fight in the arena ready to start. Li Mu had nothing to say.
