Chapter 139 Red Ridge
Lee's Fort!

Coming back here again, although it didn't take long, Li Yao felt that things were right and people were wrong.

It seems that nothing has changed, Wubao is still the same Wubao, but it seems that everything has changed again, and many familiar people are missing.

On the day he came back, Li Yao didn't do anything, he just walked around, talked and laughed with various people, and asked about some things that happened during this period.

I learned that some of the people I sent out have already returned, some have not yet returned, some have definitely died, and some are still missing...

He also frowned, but he quickly returned to normal. This is the case in this era, and no one can guarantee that he will not encounter any danger.

This is especially true for them in Jincheng. Whether they encounter ferocious beasts or running horse thieves, these are all possible.

After a night's rest, when he got up the next day, washed up, and had breakfast, Li Yao would gather the people who came back together again.

Li Yao was sitting in the main seat, looking at these people who were a little apprehensive, but with expectant faces, he showed a gentle smile, and his words were also very gentle:

"I am naturally very happy when you come back alive. I will never treat your dead companions badly. As long as there are relatives still alive, I will give you a pension. After all, they are doing things for me!"

When everyone present heard this, their faces were full of gratitude, and they knelt down on the ground and said loudly:
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang, for your kindness!"

Li Yao quickly continued, the words he said at this time were not so gentle:

"Get up quickly, I will never treat anyone who works for me badly, the compensation that should be given will not be less, and the reward that should be given will not be less, but the information you provide must also be accurate. If you want to deceive me and fool me, then I will definitely not forgive me lightly!"

Having said this, Li Yao's voice quickly turned cold, and even revealed a murderous look, which made people shudder.

The complexions of all the people present changed drastically, and their expressions were full of panic. They kept shaking their heads and said anxiously:

"Don't dare, dare not, we will never dare to deceive Mr. Xiao Lang!"

Seeing this situation, Li Yao showed a smile again, the threat was not out of intention, but he didn't want to be deceived for nothing:
"Don't be so panic, as long as you don't lie to me, I will never hurt you..."

Then Li Yao took out a map of Jincheng, with rivers, mountains and rivers, and various cities on it, and then he continued:

"Now step forward one by one, and mark where and what you found on this map..."

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, and the last one, who was younger, gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to go up first.

Facing the map, he looked left and right, and quickly marked the resources he found on the map. Li Yao also asked his name and asked someone to record it.

After this person took the lead, other people also stepped forward one after another. In less than half an hour, all the people present had come up once, and then looked at Li Yao eagerly.

But Li Yao looked down at the map, his eyes were full of joy, and he felt extremely excited:

"Three copper mines, five iron mines, and [-] places where bricks can be fired to make tiles are spread out from the center of Linqiang. As expected, there is still not enough time. When they travel all over Jincheng in the future, they will definitely find more mineral resources. This is the foundation of their rise!"

Then Li Yao raised his head slowly, and saw everyone present looking at him eagerly. Now he was very happy, so he directly waved his hand:
"Come on, according to the record just now, take them down to receive the reward. Give as much as they should. If anyone dares to withhold it, I will never let it go lightly!"

After Li Yao finished speaking, everyone present was excited, and then saluted gratefully:

"Xie Xiaolang-jun, Xie Xiaolang-jun..."

Then Li Yao waved his hand, and someone led them down. After they all left, Li Yao spoke again:
"Rongcheng, go down and give me an order. These people will be under surveillance in the future and don't disturb their lives, but they must not be allowed to leave easily. As long as there is no problem with the location of these ores, I will definitely reuse them in the future!"

Hearing this, Li Rongcheng immediately walked out, with a serious face, and replied in a deep voice:
"only!"

Immediately, he turned around and walked out.

Li Yao left the barracks, of course he didn't leave alone, there were a hundred people around him to protect him.

Besides, can Li Wenhou rest assured that Li Yao is running around by himself?
At this time Li Yao looked down at the map again, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.

How big is Jincheng?Qinghai is quite vast!
Chiling across the southwest is still called Chiling now, but after the Tang Dynasty it was changed to Riyue Mountain to commemorate Princess Wencheng's reformation in Tibet.

But now there is no Turpan, only many ancient Qiang tribes, they are still like savages.

After the military training in the field is somewhat effective, first defeat and subdue the Qiang tribes near the big and small Yugu and Cizhi Hequ, then cross the Chiling Mountains, cross the West Sea, defeat and subdue those ancient Qiang tribes, and then occupy the entire Qinghai.

This is a well-known cornucopia, with countless mineral resources, among which salt mine resources are the most, and there are also the South Silk Road and the Tang Fan Ancient Road. Of course, the South Silk Road was opened by the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Tang Fan Ancient Road was opened by the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the roads are blocked and there are ancient Qiang tribes all over the place. Then let them get through this time. To the west is the Western Regions, and to the south is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This strategically important area must be held in hand.

Carefully put away the map, Li Yao got up and stretched, then walked out with big strides.

Coming back this time, there were other things to do, and then Li Yao went outside Wubao to gather the craftsmen he had arranged to farm.

It took a lot of effort to single out bricklayers, bricklayers, and craftsmen related to building houses, with a total of more than 600 people.

The scene was a bit chaotic, Li Yao waved his hand from a high place, signaling everyone present to be quiet for a while, and when everyone present gradually quieted down, Li Yao shouted loudly:

"First of all, you will soon become government artisans, and you will be supported by the government in the future. I will say goodbye to my family when I go back today, and report with me tomorrow. And I still say that if you perform well among you, with my reputation as a guarantee, you can make him a steward, responsible for management and training new craftsmen. During this time, everyone has noticed. I, Li Yao, have never lied to you. "

"Then the second thing is that the land you have replanted and the grain harvested this autumn, it should be yours and it will be yours. There will be absolutely no deduction!"

There was no cheering or thunderous applause, but the people present basically did not resist. They were still willing to believe Li Yao's promise.
