470 start construction
Later, Li You said to Heizi: "I want to build some workshops. These workshops cannot be placed in the city. I can only look for places outside the city close to the river, so that it can draw water from the river. Just build it here first. These workshops are all placed in the bastion city, so that it is safer. This bastion can be slightly larger. I will choose a place tomorrow. You will find someone to dig out the water channel first."
"Good young master, I will arrange manpower."
"Okay, I'll give you the picture now. You can take a look at it first. After you know what's going on, you can know what it is."
When Heizi saw the bastion map, he laughed, and said, "Young Master, can we also make a slight change in the Boundless City like this? As long as he builds a few more corners and sticks out against the city wall, wherever the enemy Siege, you can shoot anything."
"But yes, but the city wall is less than one foot away from the moat, and the repair is not very useful. Let's forget it. With this effort, it is better to step up the construction of the bastion fortress outside the city. By the way, the distance is chosen. It’s six miles away from the city."
"Understood, Young Master, the young one will retire first."
The place that Li You chose is a mile beside Wuhu River, near the northeast corner of the city. The terrain here is not bad, slightly low-lying and relatively flat, as long as a river is opened, and this river can be used as an extension of Hanhai City in the past. For irrigation, finally make a circle and return to the Aral Sea. Since there are a lot of stones mined in Hanhai City this time, it is very easy to repair the river course. According to Li You’s estimation, mobilizing three thousand people to build a five-meter-wide Cao River will take only one month at most. Have to take advantage of this time to prepare everything that should be prepared.
The excavation of the river was carried out in several sections. The workshop section had the most people. Not only did the excavation of the river, but also the construction of the water channels leading to the various workshops, it was time-consuming. For the matter, Li You’s request was to excavate and pave the one-hundred-foot-long river and the reserved waterways of various workshops in half a month. This is actually not difficult. There are 1,500 people digging here, and the depth is only more than a battle.
Although there are more than ten water channels leading to the workshop, each channel is less than two meters wide and the length is not as long as the main river channel. It is only tens of meters after walking through the workshop. It is nothing more than to follow the specifications. It’s just the shape and shape. More than ten hydraulic workshops on the watercourse and a sluice dam were also under construction at the same time. Of course, sluices will be built in front of each workshop watercourse. All of these need to be completed within a month. . New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://
After all these things were arranged, it was already six days later. Heizi set off again with people. This time the goal was clear, but I didn’t know if the expected results could be achieved, and they had to do it soon. It was troublesome when people transferred troops to block it. This time, Heizi took all the heavy crossbows Li You gave him. He was also afraid of getting into trouble, because this time he only took 8,000 cavalry. To go.
There is no other way. Most of the Persians here are slaves, and there are more than 70,000 new Persians. Even if they don't control the Sogdians, they have to leave soldiers to guard. What Yi Wu has done in the past few days is to settle homes with the Sogdians who moved from the ministers. This really played a big role. First of all, Huoxun was a country established by the Sogdians. The king was also a Sogdian. The language was the same, so naturally there was no barrier.
The propaganda of Huoxun is naturally easily recognized by these Sogdians. After all, there is no place where taxes are not paid, and they will also get the houses and necessities given to them by the King of Huoxun. These are all free, but they are needed. They have also contributed to the construction, and they are not slaves, but free people who seek the country by fire.
In just a few days, most of the 100,000 people recognized their new identity and new king, and started the construction of a new home. The only dissatisfaction was the slave owners and landlords who were forced to move here. They were nothing. There are no more slaves, no more tenant farmers. If you want to survive, you will have to grow your own land in the future, which is not what they want.
As for them, Li You was more humane, and gave them enough dry food so that they could return and go wherever they wanted. In this way, it can leave a good impression on the people, and secondly, it can make these people propagate well after they return, so that everyone knows that Huoxun is not a butcher and kills everyone.
The Sogdians who were snatched back were indeed beyond Li You's expectation. He originally thought that if these Sogdians were to leave their homes, even if they had better treatment and a better place to live, they would not immediately face the fire. Looking for the heart of gratitude and repaying virtue, and thinking that it takes time, but now looking at the way they are happy, Li You can only think that this is the reason why their life is so hard, otherwise there will be Such a sight.
When returning from the gathering place, Li You rode on the horse and kept thinking about it, and then he asked Harmonis: "Harmonis, you are a Sogdian, you should know something about them, I don’t have anything at all. Want to understand, after the big cannibals conquered other countries, the people really lived so miserably?"
"It's like this. After the big cannibals conquer other countries, they want taxes. Although they are not higher than other countries, once they wipe out a country, the tax will follow. Tax officials don't care whether it is. In war-torn countries, once they have no money to pay taxes or food, they will take away the belongings of the poor. In this way, many people will have to sell land or be forced to become vassal tenants of the big landlords. Therefore, living It will be more and more bitter, accumulated throughout the year, and it is impossible to turn over. More and more people become naked or slaves. Now they suddenly receive the help of Huoxun, how can they be unhappy.” The new 81 Chinese website is the most updated. Fast mobile phone: https:/
Li You nodded and said: "Those Persians are probably not feeling well! It seems that there is really a way here. As long as these people are really attached, we will be better off. If we are still like before, we will wait slowly. It’s really not a good way for people to move here and slowly buy slaves!"
"Most Protector, we have found a lot of people of Persian origin to communicate with the Persian people who have migrated. I think it won’t be long before there will be good news. After all, this place is much better than they used to be. Some civilians should be willing."
There is no problem with this view, but there are also a lot of things in it, especially the question of belief. This is probably the real trouble, but it is not the time to consider this. What they need to consider now is how to recruit new recruits. And the selection of female slaves, anyway, there are many benefits to be a soldier here. Although life is in danger, it can support a family and get rid of slavery. Therefore, many people are willing.
"Harmonis, how many people do you think can be recruited among these 100,000 Sogdian new people?"
"Most guardians, there are more than 30,000 young people here. I think there is no problem with 3,000 people." (End of this chapter)
