Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 233 Li Fei's Defense

Because cement was needed to raise the city wall, Li Fei ordered the construction of water conservancy work to stop completely.

Originally, the cement workshop in Liaoyang City could produce [-] tons of cement per day. Later, out of necessity, Li Fei expanded the production on a large scale, and now it can produce [-] tons of cement per day.

A large amount of cement was shipped to western Liaoning, Yingzhou and other places.

In addition to Liaoxi, Yingzhou and other cities close to Pinglu Road that need to be raised, Liaoyang City is the core of Anton, and Li Fei's small house is Li Fei's real nest. The transformation of Liaoyang City is stronger than any other city.

Li Fei not only wanted to heighten the city walls of Liaoyang City, but also made additional improvements to the city gates of Liaoyang City. He also expanded the area of ​​Liaoyang City and connected some places to Liaoyang City. He wanted to build Liaoyang City into a real city. Fortified city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

With a daily production of [-] tons of cement, from the perspective of other states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, such an output is absolutely terrifying, but Li Fei's large-scale high-rise city walls and reconstruction of Liaoyang City, etc., seem a little insufficient, but Li Fei It is estimated that the time when An Lushan may raise the flag to rebel, I believe that the transformation can be completed before Anlushan raises the flag to rebel.

In terms of hoarding food, in fact, Li Fei started to do it before he came to Anton.

In the first few years in Chang'an City, Li Fei made a lot of money by constantly making some gadgets.

Adding up all aspects, when he came to Anton Protectorate Mansion, he had already accumulated a wealth of more than 700 million guan.In addition to about 200 million of which have been used to purchase thousands of hectares of fertile land in Jiangnan, and another 200 million for various industrial constructions in Anton, there are still a full 300 million. Li Fei let Cao Xiaozhong and Xiao Ruoshui pass Qi The Qing Chamber of Commerce was replaced by grain.

Anton's various industries have also earned a lot of wealth in the past year and a half, and they have basically earned back the more than 200 million yuan that Li Fei invested in at the beginning.Moreover, since Li Fei has already built his "old nest" in Liaoyang City, the thousands of hectares of fertile land that he bought in Jiangnan in the past few years will naturally not be needed, so Li Fei asked Cao Chong to go to Jiangnan again to save those fertile fields. Sell ​​it again.Although I lost a little because of this, I got back [-] to [-]%.

Li Fei also exchanged all the money earned by Anton's various industries and the money from selling the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River into food.

Although the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has reached the verge of collapse at this moment, before the Anshi Rebellion, after all, it could still maintain the appearance of prosperity, and the price of folk grain was not very high.Especially in the affluent Jiangnan area, food prices have not risen much compared to the Kaiyuan period.

In addition, under the instigation of Yang Guozhong three years ago, Tang Xuanzong emptied the huge amount of grain in the Yicang, and the grain was basically hidden among the wealthy households.Although the amount of grain that Li Fei purchased was huge, it was nothing compared to the righteous warehouses that spread all over the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty.

A large amount of grain is continuously transported to Anton by sea.In addition, after Li Fei came to Andong, he built water conservancy projects. In the first half of the year alone, Anton had an additional 4 hectares of fertile land. In the first nine months of this year, more large-scale construction was carried out, and Anton had more than 200 hectares of fertile land than before Li Fei came. That is more than 4 million mu, calculated based on the average annual grain yield of three stones per mu. More than 700 hectares of fertile land are enough to allow Anton to produce nearly [-] million shi more grain every year than before.

The food hoarded by the Anton Governor's Mansion is massive.

Not to mention other places, in Liaoyang City alone, Li Fei has stockpiled as much as 30 tons of grain, which is equivalent to more than 500 million shi, enough to feed 150 million people for a whole year, while the Anton Governor's Mansion only has less than 200 million grains. Just ten thousand people.

This is not counting what the common people hoard at home.

It can be said that the Andong Protectorate's Mansion under Li Fei's management is not short of food, but only short of people.

"Boom—"

"Shhhhhh—"

Iron cavalry gallops, arrows fly.

As An Lushan's ambitions have begun to hide, the day of An Lushan's rebellion is getting closer and closer.Outside Liaoyang City, Li Fei practiced the soldiers of the Anton Army under his command every day.

Not only did he improve the quality of Anton's soldiers, Li Fei himself also trained hard with the soldiers.

Although he is a Jiedu envoy and the commander in chief, the soldiers do not need to charge forward with the soldiers, but the danger of the battlefield does not mean that he will not encounter danger. Improve your own quality and have a certain amount of self-protection to deal with everything Dangerous in the most fundamental way.

In addition to Anton's own training, Li Fei also asked Yelucha to train with a Khitan cavalry, the number of which was about 360.

Among them, 3 were adult Khitans captured by Li Fei in the two wars in the Mountain and Sea Corridor and outside the Chifeng King City. Chosen among women and children.

Although almost all of the more than 3 Khitans captured in Chifeng King City were women and underage Khitan children, many Khitan children were already 15 or [-] years old, and some of them were even [-] years old this year. These Khitan children who are about to grow up have basically become stubborn in their thinking. It is not easy for Li Fei to completely Sinicize them, so Li Fei directly handed them over to Yelucha and Princess Yangu.

After all, he still wants to use Yelucha and Princess Yangu to take the Khitan tribe from Anlushan, and he can't let Yelucha and Princess Yangu be naked, and everything depends on him, so for Yelucha and Princess Yangu It is also necessary to organize a Khitan cavalry as their own force.

"Li Fei, why is Yelvcha able to leave the city, but I can't!" This morning, Li Fei and others went out of the city for training again. Princess Yangu also wanted to go out with her, but when she arrived at the gate of the city, she was stopped. She was dissatisfied shouted at Li Fei.

"Yelucha went out of the city to train soldiers, what do you want to do when you go out?" Li Fei said angrily.

"Stop messing around, stay in the city, and play with your sisters Yueyue and Lanxin when you're bored, drive!" Li Fei said, ignoring Princess Yangu, and galloped out of the city.

"Li Fei, I hate you!" Princess Yangu shouted loudly.

Ahead, Li Fei heard Princess Yangu's shout, but he rolled his eyes and was not at ease.In his heart, as long as Princess Yangu doesn't make trouble for him, whether or not she hates her is out of Li Fei's consideration.

Seeing Li Fei still galloping away without any reaction, Princess Yangu was so angry that her silver teeth were about to be gritted.

Youzhou City.

Li Fei built such a large-scale city wall on the border of the Protectorate of Andong, of course, it is impossible to hide it from Anlu Mountain.

"Li Fei's little tiger cub is clearly guarding against me!" Speaking of Li Fei, An Lushan gritted his teeth.

"Father, Li Fei's strength is only over 7000, which is far from being comparable to that of his father. Even if he takes precautions, it will be easy for him to defeat him and take his head!" An Qingxu's tone was full of The disdain for Li Fei.

"Don't be careless, it's not good for Li Fei to make him hate his father so much!" An Lushan still attaches great importance to Li Fei, after all, in this world, Li Fei is the first person who can make him hate so much.

In addition, Li Fei first took advantage of his decisive battle with Khitan to destroy the Khitan royal city, and then quickly defeated the [-] army of the Bohai Kingdom, making Bohai surrender.The astonishing performance made him vigilant and regarded Li Fei as a little tiger cub.

"Yes, Father!" An Qingxu replied, not sure if he really took it to heart.

Not only Li Fei was training his Anton Army, but An Lushan was also training his 20 elite troops, forging weapons and armor day and night, preparing for the rebellion.

As time goes by bit by bit, the winter of Tianbao's 13th year is about to pass, and Tianbao's 14th year is coming soon.
