Northern Dynasties

Li Tai had just returned to Heishui Fangcheng, when Zhu Meng, who stayed behind here as the main defender, strode forward to greet him, holding a booklet in his hand and smiling happily.

"Lang Jun, this month's defense has recruited more than [-] townsmen, all of whom can be used as arrays, and two new garrisons have been built, please review them!"

Zhu Meng handed over the registration book before entering, Li Tai looked through it briefly and nodded in satisfaction.

If the isolated city is not guarded, and the Yellow River is as dangerous as Tongguan, it is necessary to set up garrison fortresses around Guancheng to identify key points and support each other.No matter how solidly Blackwater City is built, it still needs to divide the surrounding area to form a complete and thorough line of defense, so as to effectively deter the surrounding thieves from committing minor crimes.

Although the county organizations in this area have been abandoned for a long time, they are not completely uninhabited.There are still a lot of small dock settlements such as the one where the soldier commander Lu Chuan lived in seclusion in his early years. If they can be effectively integrated, they will also be an important basis for establishing regional defense.

These dock walls often have not many people, and the guarded places are also desolate and hidden places. It is difficult to make a living. Once found by the wandering Jihu tribe, it will be a disaster.

Last year Li Tai wandered in this territory for many days and rescued many Han and Hu slaves from the Jihu tribe.At that time, the limited strength could not effectively integrate these people, so they could only be released into the wilderness and let them make a living separately.

This year Li Tai went back and forth, and wanted to set up a defense zone here to farm the fields. Those villagers who had been rescued before became a good foundation for local personnel, and they came back one after another, and brought many other villagers.

These people can struggle to survive in the harsh wilderness environment, and they are also quite brave and courageous. After a little unified training and distribution of bows, knives and armor, they are excellent defense soldiers.

"The diet must be adequate, the land must be provided quickly, the muscles and bones must be nourished, and the heart must be sustenanced! If there is any weakness in the defense, immediately ask Luo Chuan!"

Li Tai also exhorted and said that it is easy to annex the population, but it is difficult to unite the hearts of the people. Without trust, there is no establishment. These villagers responded to the call to apply. Among them, it is not easy for them who have been accustomed to turmoil for a long time, and the cost of trust If you are so high, you will pay the price of your life at every turn. If you can't quickly consolidate this position, it will be difficult to calmly gain a foothold.

Zhu Meng nodded after hearing the words: "Everything is planned by Mr. Lang. When you join the army, you will be granted land. When you become naturalized, you will be given farm tools and grain seeds. When you sow seeds, you will be trained with bows and knives. Be diligent in preparing for battle, just in case of autumn and winter."

Li Tai stayed in Heishuifang City for another two days, inspecting the cultivation situation of the fields here.The two farming methods have opened up nearly a thousand hectares of arable land. Although they are both lightly tilled and intensively cultivated, they are better than the vast area, and the harvest this autumn is expected to be considerable.

Here I have to talk about the relationship between the climate and the general trend of the world. In 538 AD, which was the fourth year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the second year after the Battle of Shayuan, elephants were discovered in the Henan area of ​​the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so the Eastern Wei Dynasty was changed to Yuan Yuan Xiang.

The discovery of elephants in Henan means that the Little Ice Age that began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty has officially ended, and agricultural production has once again entered a period of rapid development, which also means that farming civilization will rise again.

The changes in the meteorological environment have allowed the farming civilization to obtain more stable and sufficient supplements, and the efficiency is far behind the nomads.

Although the Western Wei and Eastern Wei were all the Beizhen Legion born from Er Zhurong's overlord's mansion, they also had to make concessions to varying degrees to the Han people who mastered farming technology in order to stabilize their hegemony and obtain the qualification to aspire to the world. …

The discourse power of the nation, which has been out of order since the Five Husbands, is also changing in different ways in the post-Three Kingdoms era. No matter what kind of heroes they are, anyone who moves against this trend will at least fail or fail at worst. The dead and the dead.

Although Li Tai didn't personally farm the fields, he could feel the changes in agricultural production brought about by climate changes in a rather concrete way.For example, in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River today, it is just over half of the year, and the signs of various harvests and the benefits they have brought are already obvious.

Most of the hydraulic facilities on the Luoshui River, such as the 碓硙, were under the control of Li Tai after some rectification. With the arrival of the flood season, all kinds of processing benefits also increased along with the river water.

The soap flavor and other daily chemical and catering industries that he doesn't like very much, this year's Lilan is also rising steadily, and the price has soared by a level compared with last year.

For ordinary average farmers, they can barely get enough food and clothing, and those local tyrants with considerable assets, as their income increases, also become willing to consume.It is about to become a common social phenomenon that grain is cheap and labor is expensive.

It should be noted that in the third year of Datong, Guanzhong also suffered a severe famine, so that Yu Wentai had to lead his troops to rob Hengnong's granary, which triggered the Battle of Shayuan.Now, in the eleventh year of Datong, food is no longer the primary issue plaguing the situation in Guanzhong.

According to this situation, in fact, even if there is no big defeat in the battle of Mangshan in the ninth year of Datong, the Yuwentai Bafu must also pay attention to the powerful Guanlong powers who are getting stronger and stronger, and carry out effective integration and win over .

Li Tai could be regarded as riding the ride of the times, and was able to develop his own power in the long-deserted environment of northern Shaanxi.Otherwise, the investment period of one year or even several years, which cannot be paid off, will be enough to drag him down.

The so-called "everything comes with the help of heaven and earth, and heroes are not free when transported", probably refers to this situation.The destiny of destiny is sometimes mysterious and inexplicable, but sometimes it is manifested and concrete everywhere.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. Although the area reclaimed by Heishui Defense is less than a thousand hectares, Li Tai believes that as long as this year's autumn and winter can be maintained, there will be exponential growth in the coming year.

When the surviving Han and Hu people here realize that they can live and weave in the water and soil of this village without worrying about being harassed and looted by thieves and thieves at any time, they will definitely flock here !

Upstream of Kulichuan is a construction site for canal repairs, where thousands of Hu Zhuang captured last year worked here.The ones from Beihua Prefecture were envoys, and as for the captives from Xiazhou, Li Tai exchanged them with Yu Wengui for helping Xiazhou with a donation of [-] shi this year.

These funds were allocated by the Tyrant Mansion and raised by Xiazhou itself, and Li Tai was only responsible for transshipment.Even so, the burden is enormous.Therefore, in order to make up for the lack of troops in the three defense cities, Li Tai borrowed two thousand troops from Xiazhou to guard and supervise the border.

The two thousand troops were not under the control of Yuwen Guizhou Prefecture, but Li Tai borrowed money from various chieftains in Xiazhou to borrow money through Li He's family relationship.Even though it was a borrowed force, Li Tai also provided food and drink for him, hoping that the masses would return to him and be accepted as his subordinates. …

Li Dao, who was in charge here, also went out of the camp gate to greet him, and reported to Li Tai the progress of the canal construction: "The ponds and swamps in Luodong have been surrounded by a large pond weir of more than [-] hectares. The rivers and canals have also been connected and unblocked, and it is expected to reach Kulichuan by the end of the year. By then, the river will be unblocked, and there will be more than [-] hectares for those who benefit from irrigation!"

The progress of this project can be described as rapid, far exceeding the Longshou Canal that has been built intermittently for a year.

Li Tai was also quite happy after hearing the words, but he remembered a verse, and then asked: "How much labor force was lost in repairing the canal?"

"Since the year before, there have been more than [-] damages. After autumn, the loss will be even greater. If we want to complete the project on schedule, we still need to make up."

Hearing what Li Dao said, Li Tai couldn't help sighing. Although the canal was repaired very quickly, it was at the cost of human life.Although the death of these recalcitrant Jihu Ding Zhuang is not a pity, but since the start of construction, more than one-third of the deaths and injuries have been caused, which is also very troublesome.

After pondering for a while, Li Taicai said again: "The project is going on as usual. If the number of casualties increases sharply, don't rush to work again in autumn and winter. There may be no compensation this year, and there will be more labor next year. You can not miss the spring plowing."

Although Hu Qing is rampant here, it is not an inexhaustible weed.The large-scale mopping up from last year to now is a bit exhausting. Even if there are still remaining Heishuihu tribes, they all flee far away and dare not enter this place for activities again.

The less than [-] members of the Blackwater Hu tribe that Li Tai rounded up before was already the biggest gain in this period of time.

However, those Hu tribes who escaped will definitely continue to gather to harass them this autumn and winter. After all, their space for activities has been compressed to the extreme, and the output of farming, animal husbandry and hunting will be very limited, and they can only take risks if they want to survive.

As long as they survive this winter's wave, the Heishui Hu in this area will definitely not become a climate, and a regional barbarian force that has existed for many years may really be extinct under Li Tai's oppression.Even if there are remnants, they will flee to other places to make a living.

Naturally, Li Tai doesn't have any guilt about this, as long as you are good people, good-looking, knowledgeable and interesting, you will come to welcome me and serve me as the master, and I will not put you out of business.Last year, I ran away like a dog I was chasing, and made this embarrassing situation, do you really think I have no temper?
The land that will be reclaimed here in the future, Li Tai does not intend to include it in the scope of the Fangcheng garrison, but as a base for promoting the Chinese law.Although this regulation has not yet been implemented, it does not prevent Li Tai from hoarding land.

It's really not easy to work for Yuwentai. When this stinky black otter sent him over at the end of last year, he only paid half of the supplies needed by Liangfang City, and the rest was said to be paid after the next year. He has sent letters to demand for half a year, but there is no follow-up. It seems that he may not be able to receive the supplies until the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

As for the cost of building canals, Yu Wentai didn't even mention it, since it was not a matter of expenditure in the Bafu.

Li Tai already understood the principle of self-sufficiency, so he simply erased this matter from the letter to sue the Bafu, if you don't mention it, then there will be no such matter!Lao Tzu repairs the canal and cultivates it himself, so as not to cause trouble to the boss.

yqxsw.
At the moment, things are hidden. When the opening of China and France is officially implemented, they will directly occupy it in a legitimate way, and let the tyrants from all over the world who covet salt and profit become tenants for themselves, sit on the ground and take commissions, and become the largest local tyrants in northern Shaanxi!

After marching for many days, Li Taicai returned to Luochuanfang, which was also his base camp for connecting the past and the future and communicating with each other.
