Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 487 Li Daozhen Like a She-Wolf

Chapter [-]: Li Daozhen Like a She-Wolf

On the land of more than 300 miles from Hangu Pass to Hulao Pass, tens of 10 troops from Zheng Jun, Tang Jun, and Xia Jun launched a bloody slaughter.

Li Daozhen, who was far away in Lingzhou, looked at the endless fields outside the city with emotion.After a long time, Li Daozhen sighed and said: "As long as there are enough people, it will soon return to its former prosperity, and even become more prosperous!"

People are the foundation of this world. If there are enough people, everything can be done easily. If there are no people, nothing can be done.

Lingzhou is the heartland of the Yinchuan Plain, the prosperous area irrigated by the Yellow River, one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, an important part of the Hetao culture, and the meeting point of the northern nomadic and Han cultures.However, it is precisely because of the intersection of Han and Hu in Lingzhou, especially when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks launched a frenzied massacre of the Han people, and the entire village was turned into ruins.

Li Daozhen sighed that there was no manpower. In fact, it was not that the population of Lingzhou was too small. As early as the Han Dynasty, more than 15 households had immigrated to Lingzhou, with a total of more than [-] people. In the fifth year of Daye, Lingzhou The five counties have a total of more than [-] households with a population of more than [-] people.However, at this time, the permanent population of Lingzhou was less than [-], and nearly nine tenths of the local population of Lingzhou had disappeared.Although Chen Ying rescued the captured Han Chinese from the Turkic people, although the population of Lingzhou exceeded [-] at this time, one-third exceeded, and nearly half were not Han Chinese.

Yang Ze, the general manager of Lingzhou, sighed and said, "The people in Lingzhou are scared by the Turkic people, and you take in so many Turkic people, and the Han people from other places don't dare to move here, where can we find enough people? "

Li Daozhen said: "Don't we have so many slaves in Lingzhou?"

"Those stupid, stupid and lazy Turkic people?" Yang Ze didn't answer, but Song Wusao complained: "It's okay for them to do some hard work, it's okay to let them dig mines, dig coal, raise horses, raise sheep, and tannize fur." It’s all right, but you can’t plant land!”

Li Daozhen said: "They won't, we can send skilled old men to teach them, and find someone to watch them do it?"

"That's not acceptable. They like to be lazy and like to steal food. There is no way to do it!" Yang Ze shook his head helplessly and said, "Usually, our experienced farmers will teach them hand in hand, man to man. Supervise them, even if they are strong men among slaves, none of them is worth half of them, and asking them to plow the fields independently is temporarily unacceptable. Especially on the old fields, in many places it is intensive farming. .These people are even worse."

Li Daozhen caressed his belly that was about to break out, his face exuded the brilliance of motherhood, and his eyes flickered with a touch of coldness: "As the saying goes, everyone is innocent, but he is guilty of the crime. Now our steel in Lingzhou, Lingzhou The fine salt and the richness of Lingzhou have attracted the peeping of the Turks, and now the Turks are invading Lingzhou more and more frequently for reconnaissance, and it is possible that they will use troops against Lingzhou after the fall!"

Yang Ze nodded and said: "It is possible, I have already asked the imperial court for help!"

"It's useless!" Li Daozhen said without hesitation: "The center of gravity of the imperial court is in the Central Plains, and it is now fighting with Wang Shichong of the Central Plains. Lingzhou is fighting again."

When Fifth Aunt Song heard this, she was stunned, and said in shock: "What can the county lord do?"

"It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself!" Li Daozhen said: "Chang'an is too far away, and the army has been used for years. The food and grass in the court must be insufficient. In the first year of Wude, General Chen supported Lingzhou. Why did he only send more than [-] troops? It's not that there are no soldiers. , but there is not enough food and grass, and the Turks raise horses to accumulate strength in the spring, so we must cultivate more wasteland this year."

"Reclamation?" Yang Ze was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't it necessary? Our Lingzhou has already set up more than 120 mu of land, which is expected to harvest 38 million shi of grain, and 38 mu of wheat, which can harvest 150 shi of wheat. , a total of [-] shi of grain, which is enough for the people of Lingzhou to eat, and even some can be saved for emergencies.”

"Not enough, not enough!" Li Daozhen pointed to a few Turkic scouts who came from far to the north and said: "Turkic people have suffered too much on the ground of Lingzhou. It may be a dozen or 20 soldiers and horses. If we want to keep Lingzhou, we must expand our army or prepare food for the imperial reinforcements. If we want to defeat a dozen or 20 Turkic soldiers and horses, we need at least [-] troops. At that time, An army of one hundred thousand people eats horse chews and consumes thousands of shi of grain a day, how many days can the tens of thousands of shi of grain in Lingzhou treasury last?"

"But we don't have anyone!" Mrs. Song said hesitantly, "Those Qiang people and Turkic people have no way to cultivate land at all."

Yang Ze nodded approvingly.

"Simple!" Li Daozhen said with a smile: "Let Yu Guni order the leaders of Lingzhou, Fengzhou, Shengzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Huazhou, Yanzhou, and Xiazhou to go to the first county with the order of the county head. See me in the first castle and tell them that within fifteen days, as long as the tribe does not appear in the first castle, they will disappear."

The first castle is actually the former Bogulu city.At this time, Bogulu City was also known as "Fugui City", because the first castle was the first castle in Lingzhou to become rich. Almost every household had cattle, horses, fields, and industries, and became famous in Lingzhou. of the city.

Yang Ze was a little confused.

Fifth Aunt Song ordered a few female soldiers to get on their horses, and soon disappeared from sight with the sound of horseshoes.

Just when the Turkic cavalry scouts wanted to continue their reconnaissance towards the south, a small group of Lingzhou hooked and sickle cavalry rode up to meet them. When these Turkic scouts saw the hooked and sickled guns in the hands of the Lingzhou army cavalry, they screamed strangely, He turned the horse's head and ran towards the distance.

Song Wusao said: "Master, it's windy here, let's go back!"

Li Daozhen shook her head and said, "No, I want to be here!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the fertile soil in Lingzhou.In Li Daozhen's eyes, the fertile soil either grows grass, or grows shrubs, or is just a piece of wetland, which is nothing at first glance.However, Li Daozhen said with the gaze of a she-wolf: "This place belongs to my son, I must guard it for him!"

Chen Jinyong said timidly: "Madam, there is no need to worry. The Turkic people are very courageous, and they dare not provoke Lingzhou!"

"You don't understand this, gold is yellow, people's eyeballs are black, and their hearts are also black!" Li Daozhen said coldly: "Lingzhou's wealth makes people envious, and Turkic people are cheap. As long as there are enough interests, there is nothing they dare not do!"

Chen Jinyong said: "How about I ask the Lord for help!"

"That's okay, don't bother him." Li Daozhen murmured: "He, he should start a family this year, there are some things, it's better not to tell him, otherwise, everyone will not be able to get down in the end." !"

Just when the Turkic people had just peeped at Lingzhou, Li Daozhen had already noticed it like a she-wolf.In the first time, she made full preparations. The Lingzhou Iron and Steel Works were all stopped, and the steel in stock was turned into armor, weapons, crossbows, and arrowheads.

Coal is to increase the storage capacity. In Lingwu Eighteen Fort and Lingzhou cities, underground coal storage warehouses have been set up to store the coal that has been burned for nearly a year.

Gradually, everyone felt something was wrong from the unusual smell in the air of Lingzhou.

There are three four-wheeled carriages in Lingzhou, one is Yang Ze's four-wheeled carriage, but it belongs to the simplified version, and the other belongs to Pei Ju, which belongs to the noble version.The only one is Li Daozhen's four-wheeled carriage, which belongs to the modified version.

The probability of Li Daozhen's four-wheeled carriage traveling in Lingzhou is getting higher and higher, and more and more leaders of various ministries are entering Lingzhou.

What puzzled the leaders was that Li Daozhen did not summon the leaders of the various ministries in the real First Fort, but by the riverside of Buguluqu outside the First Fort.

Li Daozhen's figure is becoming more and more rounded, which is in line with the Turkic aesthetic point of view.Yu Guni looked at Li Daozhen's figure from a distance, with a strange brilliance in his eyes.

At this moment, Chen Jinyong walked up to Yu Guni as if nothing had happened.He saw Yu Guni looking at Li Daozhen, there was no respect in his eyes, but a green light like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.

"You don't want your eyeballs anymore?"

Yu Guni was the true uncrowned king of Lingzhou at this time. He already had more than [-] elite cavalry under his command. Although the equipment was not as good as Chen Ying's hooked and sickle cavalry, at least it was comparable to the most elite Turkic attached army.Over time, Yu Guni's behavior became a little perverse.

Yu Guni threatened Chen Jinyong with sharp eyes: "Is that how you talk to me?"

"It seems that you have really changed!" Chen Jinyong sighed and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you dare to have the thought in your mind, you will be bored. Do you know Zhu Can?"

Yu Guni shook his head.

"The ruthless man in the Central Plains calls himself the King of Jialou!" Chen Jinyong smiled softly, "He fell into the hands of the master, and he died after being cut three thousand and six hundred and seventy times. Do you want to enjoy this feeling?"

Yu Guni's eyes were a little flustered.

Chen Jinyong said: "Don't forget who picked you up. If you leave the lord, you don't even count as a fart. Thirty thousand cavalry are your reliance? Humph, if the lord gets really angry, you and your tribe will be killed." , Don’t even think about having a living person.”

Chen Jinyong left, and Yu Guni fell into silence.

Power is like an addictive drug.Yu Guni at this time is actually equivalent to Dian Keqing of Lingzhou in later generations, who is in charge of the affairs of ethnic minorities. He can decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the eight states.It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of power that Yu Guni enjoys the treatment like an emperor.

There are more than 100 tribes, large and small, in the land of eight states. In order to please him, these leaders all sent the best treasures and the most beautiful women in the tribe to Yu Guni.The purpose is just to want a good pasture.

In just half a year, Yu Guni had hired no less than [-] beauties of top-quality alien races.

In fact, Yu Guni is almost always a groom every day, entering the bridal chamber every night.However, if he eats too much delicacies from mountains and seas, there will always be a day when he will get bored, and his heart can't help falling in love with Li Daozhen.

Li Daozhen's family background is so noble, and his behavior is like a nobleman, definitely not the rouge and vulgar fans of those tribes.
