Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 752 Trouble
In mid-February, if you calculate it, it will be about March and April in later generations. Although you are in the north, which is about the border of Shaanxi and Gansu, the climate has already warmed up.

In late spring, when the weather was fine and sunny, Li Shan drove his horse out of the city gate, along the big river from northwest to southeast, and headed for the southwest side of Liyuan County. Zhang Zhongjian, Wang Junhao, Zhao Da, Zhu Ba and other personal guards Follow it.

"Fifteen miles to the west is the Great Earthquake Pass." Qi Laosan pointed to the west, and he brought a few people to Liyuan County ahead of time to check the terrain.

Li Shan stopped at the bank of the Sishui River and looked west. It was not far from Siyuan County to Chang'an, and he could reach Chang'an in two days and nights with a galloping horse.

In the fifth year of Wude, the Turkic partial division broke through the Great Earthquake Pass, which caused a shock in Chang'an. A large number of refugees in the pass poured into Jingzhao, which caused a lot of trouble. At that time, Sun Moon Lake also housed hundreds of refugees. many people.

Before setting off, Li Shan asked Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao that although Longzhou has open plains around Qianyuan County, it is surrounded by mountains. Among them, the geographical location of Huating County is the most important, guarding the throat of Longzhou.

Zhang Wenxi is now the order of Huating, and Zhang Wenguan is also studying in Huating, so he probably didn't know that he also came to Longzhou.

Li Shan thought about it for a while, and then asked with a smile: "Jun Hao, it is said that the prince's left guard led the garrison in Pingliang?"

"Yes." Wang Junhao replied: "Pingliang County is on the south side of Yuanzhou Prefecture, only forty miles away from Huating."

This is the news that just came today. Li Shanxin thinks that Pei Shiju is still worried, but he really won't do anything to Pei Xuanji, not because of this guy's attitude, but in the final analysis, between himself and Pei Shiju, there must be The winner is determined by seizing the heir.

There is no need to do some small actions, of course, the premise is that you, Pei Shiju, don't do anything else... Li Shan doesn't think that his luck will be so good every time.

Although he successfully evaded Pei Shiju's several schemes, and even took advantage of them to jump up, they were ultimately dangerous... In this regard, this old fox's methods are much stronger than Li Dewu's.

However, three days after arriving in Longzhou, Li Shan was surprised that there was almost no preparation in Siyuan County, and most of the farmland was abandoned. The source of the soldiers, the young and the strong have to go out from time to time, and there is no time to plant their own fields, so there are no people to go to the fields.

In addition, Li Shenfu and Duan Decao served as the marching chiefs of Lingzhou Road, and deployed soldiers from Lingzhou, Huizhou, Yuanzhou, Longzhou, and Suzhou to form the Lingzhou Army, resulting in a shortage of manpower.

From the actual situation, it is true that Tongzhou is more suitable, and a few months ago Li Shan chose Tongzhou and sent people to Tongzhou to communicate with him many times. Everything was prepared there, but in the end it was replaced by Longzhou.

Li Shan's trip to Beijing this time is not only for the purpose of planting cotton, but also for other purposes... Li Shan, who was a farmer's son in his previous life, is also very good at serving crops. In Li Shan's opinion, farmers in this era are planting , is still somewhat extensive.

However, the situation is much better now than when he went to Daizhou, which was waiting to be revitalized, the year before last. Li Shan waved his horsewhip, "Qi Lao San, lead the way."

First of all, you need to choose a field, and it can't be abandoned for too long... If it is abandoned for a long time, it will be tantamount to re-cultivating, which is too time-consuming, and the land is not strong enough.

Qi Laosan arrived in Liyuan County ahead of time, mainly for this reason. He drove his horse and continued to the southwest direction. About two quarters of an hour later, a majestic mountain peak appeared in everyone's sight.

Qi Laosan pointed to the valley not far away, "There used to be a village there, Wude was ransacked by the Turks five years ago, the villagers scattered, and it has been abandoned ever since."

"However, there are two nearby rivers flowing into the Jianshui, so it is quite convenient to get water. Not far away, there are nearly a hundred acres of fields. The governor of Longzhou ordered Sinon to join the army to recruit refugees to cultivate them, but now they are abandoned."

Li Shan frowned and asked, "Why was it abandoned?"

"It's said that the refugees made a disturbance." Qi Laosan spread his hands and said, "The person who inquired was an official of the general manager's mansion, but it may not be the truth."

A group of people drove their horses into the valley and turned two corners. Li Shan's eyes lit up. The abandoned village was not small in a small basin, surrounded by high mountains and mountains. It was really a good place.

"I chose here." Li Shan quickly made a decision, "Qi Laosan, according to the usual practice, first build the kiln to produce bricks, and then build the house... the one built for someone is bigger."

I won't just stay in Longzhou for a while, at least until the autumn harvest time. My mother is worried and plans to send Xiaoman and Zhou Shi back in a few days.

Qi Lao San was stunned for a moment, "Doesn't Mr. Lang live in the city?"

The corner of Li Shan's mouth trembled, "Everyone lives here."

Just kidding, did he really live in the house prepared by Pei Xuanji, and actually lived next door to that guy... Li Shan guessed that Pei Xuanji didn't know the inside story, but he couldn't live in it even if it was just in case.

Pei Xuanji was so enthusiastic that Li Shan couldn't bear it...he left the city early this morning, otherwise that guy might come to the posthouse again to block the door.

Although Li Shan was a medical student in his previous life, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs walk. After walking in the valley, he chose a high ground and explained to Qi Laosan, Zhou Zhoulang and others how to lay it out.

Zhang Zhongjian, who had been silent all this time, felt a little strange in his heart, why did he choose this valley?
In terms of terrain, this valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is close to the Lishui River and can advance and retreat freely. However, after all, it has been abandoned for many years, so it is not of much value.

Uh, this is a habit Li Shan brought from his previous life. Under normal circumstances, he would first defend himself, squat in a safe place, and then harm others on the premise of ensuring his own safety.

What happened in the past few years after time travel also made Li Shan feel that he has the physique to invite disaster, so it is always a good thing to make some preparations first.

Not to mention that the Turks will definitely invade the south this year, even Pei Longqian, who is not too far away from here, needs to be on guard.

Seeing Qi Laosan and Zhou Zhoulang inspecting the soil and looking for a place to prepare bricks for kiln, Li Shan was a little sad. The kiln was built that day thanks to brothers Tan Liu and Tan Qi. These two had been working in Xiashi last year, specializing in bricks factory, and was later transferred to Shuozhou to prepare for the establishment of Guji Town, where he died in battle at the head of the city.

Li Shan stood on the hillside and looked around. This valley had a pretty good view. In summer, there must be birds singing and flowers scenting, and it must be a beautiful scenery. However, the more than [-] acres of fields outside the valley that had been abandoned for more than a year made him scratch his head a little.

Although it is already mid-February, the fields are open to plowing, and the lack of cattle is a big problem. I originally chose Tongzhou, and there is no shortage of cattle there, but there are not many cattle in Longzhou, so I recruited from the people... no What a great idea.

Even in later generations, ordinary farmers also attach great importance to cattle. Who would lend them out casually?
But those fields have been abandoned for many years, and there is no need for cattle, which is really not good.

At this time, Wang Junhao came over with a strange expression, and said in a low voice, "Pei Xuanji, the recorder and military officer, is here."

Li Shan had a headache, why did that guy stalk him so hard, don't make it to the end, Li Shimin succeeded in ascending the throne, Pei Shiju had no choice but to admit defeat, and he couldn't bear to do anything to Pei Xuanji.
