The construction of the reservoir will inevitably have supporting canals, and the time for water storage will make this a major project that is not destined to be completed in a short period of time.

Under the rule of Zou Yu, of course, it is not just such a project, because of the emergence of cement, cement roads have also been put on the agenda, especially from Youzhou to Liaodong, the current official road is also a dirt road, once the rain and snow weather, the road is very difficult, so the road repair is also urgent.

Liaodong can now be said to be the main grain producing area, especially for more than a year, the supply of soldiers almost depends on this side, after all, although there is still a lot of grain in Yongfeng Cang, but there are also some emergencies left.

The lack of manpower made Zou Yu very big, which is why he broke the plan of recuperation and wanted to send troops to Goguryeo, which was to plunder the population.

The people of Datang are also their own families, trying to find a way to farm and collect taxes, and do coolie things, of course, people from other countries use their hearts to be at ease.

"Yelu Chu see the prime minister!" A strong Murowei man, prostrate.

"Patriarch Yelu excuses me! Sit down and talk. Zou Yu raised his hand and signaled.

This is the Murowei people, taking advantage of the previous year, specially came to worship. And Yelu Chu is the patriarch of the largest tribe in Murowei at present.

"How is Murwei doing this year?" Zou Yu asked with concern.

"Back to Prime Minister, this year's grassland white disaster is serious, and a lot of cattle and sheep have frozen to death. I can't thank you enough! Yelu Chu replied with trepidation.

"It must be beneficial to be friends with us, look at the original Khitan, which now belongs to the Khitan tribe in the Central Plains! How are they living? Zou Yu said with a smile.

"A world of difference!" Jeruchu replied with a wry smile.

"Haha, it seems that Patriarch Yelu is very proficient in the Central Plains! The idiom is used so skillfully. Zou Yu said happily.

"Yelu Chu has always admired the culture of the Central Plains, and specially invited two teachers to teach!" Jerchu explained with a smile.

"By virtue of this, Patriarch Yelu will be my friend!" Zou Yu nodded in admiration.

"This is Jeruchu's honor!" Yelu Chu got up and stroked his chest and saluted.

"This time, there is something about something, I want to trouble the patriarch!" Zou Yu said lightly.

"Prime Minister, please speak! Jeruchu will do it! Yelu Chu's face was overjoyed, and he got up and hugged his fists.

He was thinking about how to express his intention to take refuge, and not be too sudden, Zou Yu gave him a step. Of course, I was busy picking up the plane.

"Patriarch Yelu sits down and speaks!" Zou Yu nodded with satisfaction, and raised his hand to signal.

"Because of the construction of roads, I lack a lot of labor, and if the patriarch can capture the population, I am willing to buy it at a high price." Zou Yu continued.

"People?" Yelu Chu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Not bad! Population, both men and women! Even if it's a family! We buy at a high price! You can ask for anything, food, clothes! Weapons! Zou Yu tempted.

"Whether it's the Khitans! Or those wild people on the ghost side! Either way! The price guarantees your satisfaction! Zou Yu continued.

"Good! After the beginning of spring, I promise to send a batch to the prime minister! Yeluchu's breathing became thicker, his eyes turned red, and he immediately said loudly.

In his opinion, population is a small thing, and the grassland did not fight a few battles for the pasture that year, but used to rob the pasture, cattle, sheep and horses, and women! Now it's just a pack! Let's grab it! The value is greater! Of course better.

"There are a lot of people in the Central Plains, who have been displaced to the grassland, and if the patriarch meets them, he will take the trouble to escort them back, and there will be a lot of gratitude." Zou Yu said meaningfully.

"Yes! Follow the Prime Minister's instructions. Yelu Chu's heart froze, and he hurriedly said.

On the grassland, almost every tribe has people who have been captured from the Central Plains, so Zou Yu is giving him face, to put it implicitly, just to redeem people.

Just now mended some relationships and boarded this boat, Yelu Chu didn't want to offend Zou Yu in this matter, if there was another blockade, he would only cry.

What reassured Yelu Chu the most was that Zou Yu did not oppress people with his power, and he had always been kind and pleasant, which was not seen in the Turks in the past.

After getting Yelu Chu's reply, Zou Yu was also very satisfied, so he didn't mind giving him a little more sweetness.

"I heard that the prime minister hired the Tatar clan to fight?" Yelu Chu asked cautiously.

"Yes, but there is a thing!" Zou Yu generously admitted.

"I wonder if we can send troops to help the prime minister fight?" Yelu Chu's face was slightly red, and he asked a little embarrassed.

He was also forced to do so, who made the people of Murowei poor! And they are also envious of the Khitan people, they are all the same ancestor, and now they are living far away, but there is no way, after all, the Khitan people followed Zou Yu a few years ago.

Yelu Chu raised this question, firstly, to solve the problem of tribal poverty, and secondly, to draw in relations, to get closer, or even replace the position of the Khitans, in his opinion, the Murwei people can do better than the Khitans.

"Of course you can do this, so let's send 10,000 cavalry after spring ploughing! The treatment is the same as that of the Tatans!

We provide food and grass in peacetime, and when we fight, we will be rewarded according to merit, and there will be a pension for those who die in battle, and we are all friends, and we will never treat you badly!

But there is one condition, I have to say ugly things in front, and when I come, I must obey orders! Otherwise, Hugh blames the ruthlessness of military law! Zou Yu nodded and admonished.

"It's nature! If you don't listen to the order, the prime minister, you will be killed, and your subordinates will never complain! Yelu Chu nodded again and again, and beat the snake with the stick, and even the self-proclaimed subordinates came out.

Zou Yu was of course even happier with such knowledge, and after talking for a while, Yelu Chu saw it and left happily.

"Give him more of the glasswork, the glass mirrors, the ordinary down jackets, the woolen clothes, fifty of the same! Ten horizontal knives! After Yelu Chu left, Zou Yu commanded lightly.

"Whoa!" Xi Junmai hurriedly wrote it down.

"Do you know why I'd rather pay a high price to hire them than accept them as vassals?" Zou Yu asked Xi Junmai.

"The subordinates don't know, but the prince's arrangement must be reasonable." Xi Junmai touched his head and said with a smile.

"As the so-called people who are not of my race, their hearts will be different! Now we are strong, so all races, tribes will rely on us! If we are weak, we will kill the Lord immediately! Zou Yu said lightly.

"I see who dares! Destroy him now! Xi Junmai said with a glaring eye.

After following Zou Yu for a long time, Xi Junmai has seen many powerful weapons and equipment, so he is naturally very confident.
