Chapter 131 Choice
The world is full of turmoil and treacherous waves.
People of insight are worried about the unstoppable ferocity of the barbarians. The meat-eaters with hairpin tassels and high crowns may worry about the future and worry all day long, or they are simply drunk and dreamy, not thinking about their way, just looking for a moment of happiness.
The so-called knowledge is nothing more than more insight and knowledge. In Dayan, throughout the Middle Ages, the entire middle and lower class people were in ignorance, and they had neither the right to learn knowledge from books nor the opportunity to learn. Know the news beyond the horizon.
Except for a wonderful little place - Diqiu.
After more than a year of compulsory study, the official residents who have obtained the Diqiu Huben can read a few words, at least know how to write their own names, know how to calculate the most basic simplified numbers, and are dedicated young people, military camps The soldiers in the middle school, the children in the school, and those subordinates who are reused by Mr. Li, know far more than ordinary people.
The news of the Turkic invasion of the Chen country came one after another, the hearsay would inevitably be embellished, and the rumors passed around were even more frightening, as if those Chen people were swallowed up by the barbarians.
Although the incident happened thousands of miles away, Chen Guo and Dayan have the same language and race, and they are both Chinese people under the rule of the first emperor. Now they are invaded by barbarians, and their lives are devastated. How can we prevent the people of Dayan from feeling sad? feel.Although the little days in Diqiu are getting more and more beautiful, but this barbarian will kill him one day, and he can't help feeling the fear of precariousness.
Seeing that the people in Diqiu were in a low mood, Lord Li didn't say much nonsense, and pulled out the black armor army, guards, and militiamen who had been training for several months to conduct a simple public drill.
The black-armored army is majestic and majestic, with a majestic fighting spirit. The school officer Zhong waved his command flag like his arms and fingers, arrows like rain, guns like forest, people like dragons, and horses like tigers!I can see the enthusiasm of the people onlookers. Although the big guys don't know soldiers, they don't know the army, but looking at the posture of our Diqiu army, even if it's a barbarian, I'm afraid they can fight against each other.
The militia performance after the Heijiajun and the guards was naturally much clumsy, but seeing the neighbors who are usually familiar with each other practice well, and occasionally make a fool of themselves, everyone laughs, and their hearts are full of enthusiasm The fire is so vigorous, which man hasn't exerted his strength yet?Pick up the knife, practice hard, and dare to cut his mother!
Your Excellency said it well: Xi Jun trains soldiers to guard his hometown, when friends come, he has good wine, when barbarians come, he gets swords and guns!
For the sake of this field, for the children and mother-in-law behind him, and for Di Qiu, the homeland of everyone, the barbarians dared to come and plunder them, and they desperately wanted to kill these beasts!
Although the world is chaotic, people still have to live in peace. The adults said, planting food well and doing things well is to work hard for Diqiu and earn your own life. Instead of sighing and trembling, it is better to fight hard and strengthen Diqiu's life. Strength, keep the enemy out.
The fireworks and hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival have not yet dissipated, and the people and officials of Diqiu have nervously devoted themselves to the work and production of the New Year.
The people of Diqiu are busy, and even the slaves who have just been exchanged from Manhu by Mr. Li start to learn to work timidly. Although they can't enjoy the treatment of ordinary Diqiu people with household registration here, but here people, and treat them as "human beings".
There was work to be done, it was tiring, but there was food and clothing, and people called them by their first names, not 'cattle'.
The numb people began to have a little curiosity, and dared to secretly look at the people and the environment around them. Maybe this is a place where they can live?
The interim policy on the slaves was carefully discussed between Master Li and the master's staff in the live broadcast room.
MG is not conferred lightly, and treatment is not lightly given.
For a thriving small organization, even informal "official positions" cannot be easily given, lest when the organization grows step by step, there will be no promotion or reward for the followers of the old seniority.For example, a rebel who claims to be the emperor in a small valley plays every house, and any cat or dog is a prime minister or a general, which is simply a joke.
Of course, such disrespectful and heartbreaking words must not be publicized outside, but the truth is always the same.
The treatment is also the same. If the newly bought slaves are given the same treatment as the residents of Diqiu who have worked hard with Master Li for more than a year, it will only make the original people of Diqiu feel resentful gradually. Although the slaves who received such treatment would be grateful for a while, they would probably "promote Mi En and fight Mi En" a lot.
Only what you have earned through hard work will be cherished and guarded firmly.
Therefore, Master Li just gave these slaves the most basic right to survive, wanting freedom, wanting to live, wanting more... to earn and exchange with their own hands.
Chai Dongcheng, who claims to be Lord Li's hard-core confidant, naturally won't be busy with those trivial and vulgar things like these sleazy little people. He has made great contributions to his lord since he captured the "General Pig" Afterwards, Lord Li praised him kindly, and made the lady in sword clothes marry him.
Although Diqiu was full of snow and disasters, being busy and nervous did not disturb Chai Dongcheng's sweet little days.
After Mr. Li led the school officer Zhong and the Diqiu caravan back safely, he gave everyone their annual leave, and especially gave him a wedding gift—an extra seven days of wedding leave.Although the days of cross-necked mandarin ducks and thrushes in the mirror were happy and carefree, the husband and wife, who were used to being busy since arriving in Diqiu, felt uncomfortable after a few days.
Jian Yi shyly asked her husband, Diqiu had a lot of frostbite patients, could she be allowed to return to the medical camp earlier, because she was really afraid that the women under him would be too busy.
The medical battalion is an important department established by Mr. Li, and Mr. Li regards it as his confidant. Chai Dongcheng loves his wife and respects him, so how dare he say no? !Jian Yi gave her husband a gentle smile, and quickly went to the medical camp to "work", leaving Chai Dongcheng alone to guard the new house.
This new house is one of the family quarters in Diqiu's newly built quadrangle dormitory building. Although the house is not big, it can only be lived in with certain "levels" and credit. When it was the turn of Chai Dongcheng and his wife, the neighbors all laughed It is said that this new house is a dowry subsidized by Master Li to Captain Jianyi, and now that Jianyi hastily left to take up his post, leaving Lao Chai alone, it is even a joke among the neighbors who come and go.
Although Chai Dongcheng didn't take these gossips to heart, he felt a little bored after being idle for a long time—although everything in the new house was good, it was just that the layout was a little too small. We all know what your family ate today!
After a long time, he will not be able to see the lord, and if he can't see the lord, his confidant is not worthy of the name. In order to hold on to the big golden leg of the lord, Chai Dongcheng feels that it is better to take less time off for this marriage leave, and go to get it early An important errand is the rank of promotion.
Lord Li is also making plans for the new year. Diqiu is too small, and the place where the sesame seeds are big, beside the tigers and wolves, is not enough for people to swallow. The only way now is to bury your head and expand silently. There is a good saying, "Accumulate food widely, build walls high, and become king slowly."
cough cough! "King" or something, he, a "loyal minister and good general", naturally wouldn't call it, but the first two are indeed a good way to accumulate strength in troubled times!
Guangjiu, he has built water conservancy in Diqiu, promoted agricultural machinery, and worked hard to breed and breed farm animals, and widely planted good varieties; building high walls, with the progress of technology and proficiency in technology, the cement output of Diqiu Gradually and rapidly growing, most of the watchpost fortresses around the border of Diqiu have been repaired.The next step is to continue to build roads and forts, and try to build Diqiu, the base camp, into an iron-clad tortoise within a few years. The dog bit the tortoise and couldn't move its mouth, and a few teeth collapsed!
After Mr. Li and his subordinates continued to deceive, save and buy, now Diqiu has gradually become full of people, but the land seems a bit small, hindering the development of the great cause.
Li Xian turned his eyes to two places, one, of course it was General Zhu Songzhu who came to his door.
Zhu Song's imposing general was stationed in Bingzhou Shangjun, how could he order soldiers like this?General Zhu, who has taken Master Li's "pill", is still staying in Diqiu for "leisure", and has never been able to find time to make arrangements. Now he will deal with it together and "communicate" with him. Diqiu will also be generous. He sent Zheng Qing, Zheng Chi and other mid-level officers who had undergone strict training by the school officials to help General Zhu organize the Tigers, defend the country, and protect the people.
Next time...
"Mutual market?" Chai Dongcheng asked in amazement.
"That's right, Mutual Market."
Lord Li nodded. This mutual market has existed since the Han Dynasty. The former Han Dynasty also set up a customs market at the border crossings. The imperial court sent officials to supervise the trading of livestock, fur, and grain with the barbarians such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu at that time.It's just that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the government was abolished, and all the heroes rose together, and the barbarians changed like a revolving lantern, and the official Guanshi gradually fell into disuse.
When the Taizu of this dynasty built Dayan, he was very wary of the Great Chen of the Northern Kingdom, and he was even more afraid of and guarded against the barbarians in the Northwest and the North, and never built any customs cities at all.
Although Chai Dongcheng is a half-toned literati, he has traveled a lot and likes to listen to interesting stories about unofficial history, so he knows this part.
"My lord, there seems to be no precedent for this imperial court?"
Chai Dongcheng hesitated for a moment, but still raised his own objection, blindly following the Shangguan, he could not put forward his own unique opinions, and he could not let the Shangguan see his ability.
"The imperial court has never issued a decree to prohibit it." Master Li grinned, and he said, "We are not setting up any closed market, but the business of Gehele's cattle and sheep, and salt and alkali for iron furnace briquettes are more expensive." If you keep doing it well, you have to start a food business in order not to be hungry and plundering. Instead of letting them rob, it is better to let them buy, what to buy, how to buy, the rules must be well established."
"His-"
Chai Dongcheng gasped, his lord dared to do business with wolves, he was really audacious!But why did he feel a rush of blood in his heart after hearing such bold and reckless words? !
"In order to better promote the equal trade between Qianghu and my Diqiu, don't let these wolf cubs grow greedy, we will naturally set up a city fortification, and build a castle belonging to the Han 'Mudus', I am devout Not only will the believers not stop them, but they will try their best to help us. When this 'Grass Market' was first built, the officer Zhong will lead the troops and go there with me to supervise the construction."
Master Li laughed as he spoke, his white teeth gleamed, and there was a ray of ferocity in his brows of compassion.
Chai Dongcheng's head was dizzy for a while, and it was only at this time that he heard the adults talk about the inside story of the trip to the grassland. It turned out, it turned out...this group of Manhus was so fooled by their adults.
"I'll give you two options, one is to go to Shangjun, continue to supervise Zhu Song, and report the situation there to me; the other is to go to the border between Gehele and Zhezhiguan, and slowly investigate the news of the grassland ministries, I want to know Which ones should be completely eliminated, and which ones can be subdued."
Li Xian tapped Chai Dongcheng's head lightly, and said in a low voice: "No matter which one you choose, you have to recruit a group of people to find out all the secrets for me. I call this organization the 'Public Opinion Department', and it will be a dark night." The sharp blade in my heart, my most trusted confidant."
"...I'm going to Gehele." Chai Dongcheng replied without hesitation, holding back the trembling of excitement.
The corners of Li Xian's mouth slowly curled up, and he said with a smile: "Sure enough, I chose a smart person."
