Chapter 1378 Dragon City Difficult to Build
Zimengchuan was the home of the Yuwen Department of Xianbei in the early years. Compared with other places in the Liao border, the environment is better.There are not too steep mountains, and there are many flat and fertile soils. There are many forests and rivers, which are very suitable for fishing and hunting to make a living.

Now the Murong tribe, together with its righteous soldiers, have gathered in Zimengchuan in large numbers.However, there are not many people actually staying in the camp, plowing can already be seen in the permafrost fields, and more people haunt the mountains and rivers, collecting firewood, fishing and hunting to supplement supplies.

This is also one of Murong Hao's troubles. Liaohuang is too barren and lacks in products. Even a leader like him can enjoy very limited materials, let alone other ordinary people.Murong Ping and other short-sighted clansmen can't bear to give up the benefits of business and trade with the southern country, which is actually human nature.

Several rounds of military deployments during the New Year have already consumed the few reserves of Murong's Ministry. If it weren't for the slight replenishment of Lingzhi in western Liaoning, and Murong Hao's decisive decision to seek refuge in the country of Jie, and some of the aid he received in Youzhou , It is not even enough to maintain the gathering of many ethnic groups here.

For a person full of ambition, this kind of dilemma in reality is simply a kind of torture.Although Jie country's situation is already in jeopardy, the whole Murong Department can greatly benefit from a little material leaked from between the fingers.

Not to mention the southern country, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers who are completely out of production alone. This kind of strength has even exceeded Murong Hao's cognition limit to some extent.

The Dragon City that Murong Hao wanted to build was located in the southwest of Zimeng River, on a high slope next to mountains and rivers.In the early years, there was already a lot of building foundations here, but they were completely destroyed when the Youzhou Jie army plundered the territory, and now they can only start from scratch.

Although it is now late spring, the permafrost is still deep in this area, which is not suitable for large-scale construction.However, Murong Hao hoped that before midsummer came, at least a city framework could be built to demonstrate the strength of the Murong Department in the Zimengchuan League that was scheduled to be held in July.

Moreover, having such a new city as the core of governance is of great significance for the future to meet the great changes in China, whether it is to attract the remaining forces of the Jie country, or to resist possible intrusions.

Because of Murong Hao's strict order, it is necessary to catch up with the construction period regardless of the cost, even if all the tribes collected by Lingzhi in Liaoxi are consumed here, they will not hesitate.

In addition to handling the daily affairs of the tribe, Murong Hao came here to inspect the progress of the project in person almost every day, and today was no exception.In order to avoid being resisted and harassed by those hard-served soldiers, Murong Haofan went to Longcheng to inspect, and the soldiers who followed him back and forth had at least a thousand cavalry.

The old name of Gaogang, where Dragon City is located, is no longer available, but it is now named Longshoupi.At present, the entire Longshoubei is full of densely packed, ragged, and numb-looking laborers.The huge rocks and giant trees mined from the surrounding mountains are also piled up in disorder near the bottom of the slope, waiting to be used.

The current Murong tribe is still short of food and clothing, and they will not give preferential treatment to satisfy these slaves, because these slaves are really working with their breath hanging, and countless people died of typhoid fever, exhaustion and starvation.And in a deep ditch on the west side of Longshoupi, an unknown number of human lives have been filled in it.

"Slowly, it's still too slow. Is there any other way to do follow-up work? There are frequent major construction projects in the Southern Kingdom. Do they have any clever methods for reference?"

After looking around Longshoupi, he saw that the foundation of the city hadn't even been completed in such a long time. This kind of progress naturally made Murong Hao very dissatisfied, so he asked Zuo Jin's entourage for advice .

The one who is really in charge of supervising the construction of Dragon City is You Beiping Yang Wu.Although the Murong Department has recruited a lot of Chinese and Korean scholars over the years, the number of people who have truly joined the whole family is not many. After the Bohai Feng family was wiped out, the Beiping Yang family is already one of the few soldiers in the Murong Department. stream portal.

Different from the high-profile Feng family in Bohai, the Yang family in Beiping didn't show much in the Liao region, but since Murong Xin's time, Yang Ding's father, Yang Dan, has followed and served, and has won Murong Xin's trust and reliance.

Up to now, the Yang family of Beiping is also deeply rooted and leafy in the Liao region, and has a great influence.For example, Yang Wu served as the law enforcement officer in the old year, and after Murong Hao was appointed as the king of Yan, he was appointed as the chief history of the Yan king's mansion.

Hearing the Lord's question, Yang Wu took a step forward and bowed his head and said: "Whether there are any skillful techniques in Nanguo is unknown, but the most troublesome thing about the current construction period is that the soil layer is frozen and thick, and it is stronger than stubborn rocks. If it can be delayed for more than a month, it can Much smoother."

Yang Yu is not trying to shirk responsibility by saying this. Although there are a lot of workers on Longshoubei, even the most basic tools are lacking.After the shallow excavation of the soil layer, it was so frozen that it was impossible to excavate it, and even a large pot of boiling water was needed to defrost it.This is not only a lot of trouble, but also a huge waste of manpower and material resources.

"Stop it for more than a month? Why don't you just strike here? Shengmin sit here, and when foreign enemies invade, they will take their flesh and blood?"

Hearing Yang Wu's nonsense, Murong Hao's face darkened immediately, seeing that the Lord was really angry, Yang Wu and others hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty.

Although he was displeased, Murong Hao still bent down and pulled Yang Wu up after venting a bit.

He has his own place of relying on his people. The tribe is small, but it can still be diligent and help the people, but it is as powerful as the Murong tribe, and the affairs are complicated and complicated. If you want to sort it out calmly, You can only appeal to the regulations.And this aspect is far from being capable of tribal warriors, and they can only rely on these talented people.

Including the planning structure of the entire Dragon City, it was even completed by Yang Yu's late cousin Yang Yu.As for the overall planning and construction in front of us, if there is no Yang Ding's overall planning, it will be impossible to start.

"At present, our country seems to be in a strong position, but there are also many troubles that make people uneasy. Gu will inevitably be upset, and occasionally act harshly. Please don't blame me, Chang Shi."

Murong Hao's attitude became amiable again, but Yang Yu hurriedly begged again but didn't dare.

He really didn't dare, not to mention Murong Ren's ruthlessness in the old year when he pushed the boat along the river and exterminated the Feng family. Not long ago, Yang Yu also witnessed with his own eyes what kind of torture Murong Ren suffered after he was defeated and captured before he died tragically. Naturally, he knows that Murong Hao's seemingly magnanimous skin hides a heart that is harder and colder than frozen soil.

Murong Hao no longer talked about the matter of building the city, he signaled Yang Wu to follow him, and after walking for a while, he let out a long sigh and turned to look at Yang Wu: "The Southern Kingdom was the suzerain of our country in the past, and now it is in a state of great prosperity. Switching to the Capricorn Lord at this time is always unavoidable to be criticized..."

Hearing Murong Hao talk about such a sensitive topic, Yang Wu was startled, not knowing how to respond, so he simply bowed his head and kept silent.

"How Shen Weizhou of the Southern Kingdom has treated me poorly over the past few years, the long history naturally has seen it. Even if I put aside my personal honor and disgrace, the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of poor and poor people in the Liao region belong to me. How can I give full play to my selfish desires. Even if others don't know about this painstaking effort, Chang Shi should know about me?"

Sensing Murong Hao's eye-catching gaze, Yang Wu didn't dare to remain silent, and could only speak: "Your Majesty has a good heart, and the ministers naturally know it well. Even though the Southern Kingdom is powerful, it is difficult for me to benefit from the bitter cold. What's more, if there is no great king to take care of you, you will go into exile for the rest of the calamity, and you will have a piece of land to enjoy in peace and happiness..."

Although Yang Yu replied with a respectful attitude, Murong Hao was still a little dissatisfied, and did not hear any echoing comments on his vote from his mouth.It can be seen that in his mind, he also does not recognize his choice very much.

Changing others, of course, is not worthy of Murong Hao's patient persuasion, but not to mention that Yang's own talent is his indispensable help, the Yang clan alone can be said to be the leader of the Liao border exiles, if he can't get Yang's With the sincere approval of cooperation, it is also difficult for him to calmly control the large number of Jin people who have disappeared.

"Shi Jilong, the lord of the Capricornus, once discussed with his subordinates that no matter how poor the southerners are, even if they are lost to the world, they can still retreat to King Heshuo. Can there be any honor and position to keep? When the country is subjugated, morality is lost, and people will treat each other with courtesy? Ridiculous!"

Speaking of this, Murong Hao took a step forward, took Yang Yu's hand, and said sincerely: "Shiqiu and I are masters and servants in words, but good friends in reality. The so-called protection is actually mutual support for many years. Entering Zhao, ordinary people can see that it is not a good choice, don't I know? The southern country is sure to win, and I don't need my support from the Liao border. But I can take advantage of the crisis in the Jie country to seek more and benefit the frontier. In the final analysis, it is for the benefit of the suffering people in Liao, not just one person's honor or not."

Murong Hao's sudden and emotional expression caught Yang Wu quite off guard, and he could only show fear and gratitude on his face.

Murong Hao pulled Yang Wu, turned to look west, and sighed again: "The Liao border is definitely not a place where scholars can live in peace. In the old years, Shiqiu and I had a great wish to meet and join China. But now the South Wang Ye is steaming and domineering, the old year's great promise to enter the covenant has become a conspiracy against chaos, thinking about it is painful, and even more unwilling, is this heart Shiqiu close to me?"

When Yang Wu heard this, he nodded sincerely.Several generations of his family have worked in Liaohuang and followed the Murong family. It can indeed be said that Liaobian is where his achievements lie. In his heart, why doesn't he hope that the Lord can compete for supremacy in China, and let these followers rise and become their successors? power.

But the general situation failed to meet people's wishes, and the prosperity of the southern country also made them, the exiled scholars in Liao border, fall into a dilemma of reason and reason.On the one hand, he was delighted with the revival of his homeland, and on the other hand, he was disappointed by the loss of ambition.They were born in China, and they know that once China rises to be a hero, it is definitely not a powerhouse like Murong Hao who can fight for it.

Murong Hao voted for Jie, speaking out of selfishness, ignoring the feelings of these exiled scholars.In fact, to some extent, it also cut off their way to return to their homeland.Without the calmness of allowing advances and retreats, it is a very unwise strategy to make a living and depend on the future of the family business.

And once the Southern Kingdom regards the Murong tribe as a group of rebels, it will be the next target to attack.Even if they follow Murong Hao loyally and protect the Liao border, can there still be no gap between the monarch and his ministers?

At present, Shi Hu, the lord of Jie, is wreaking havoc on those scholars in Hebei, middle and middle of the country, and many atrocities have been heard even in Liao.Once the Murong Department faces the Southern Kingdom directly as an enemy country in the future, they may also follow the old path of the Hebei Shiliu, facing a dilemma of life and death.
