The living can't leave, and only the dead can be brought back to the Tang Dynasty.

After this incident, the entire Camp II was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

In this era, the dead may not be taken too seriously, the hardships of life and the backwardness of medical conditions have led to the general lack of longevity, but now in a foreign country, people are more and more afraid of death.

Yang Yun did not miss the appointment, and returned to Datang with people, contacted the people of the Cao Gang, and settled the family of the deceased.

Because it was drowned, it was relatively easy to settle, Yang Yun just said that when he went out to work, he accidentally fell into the river and couldn't be rescued, although the person's family was sad, but they could also understand, after all, this world is too easy to have safety accidents, as long as the settlement fee is sufficient, everything is negotiable.

Since ancient times, the people have not raised officials and not been prosecuted, and the dead man has not yet married a wife and had children, after Yang Yun offered a sky-high compensation of fifty yuan, the man's parents immediately kept silent, for fear that the owner would regret it, and privately asked someone to ask if they needed labor?

Returning home from outside Luoyang City, Yang Yun was very tired, and he could finally sit down and think seriously about what he was pursuing.

"Master, the metal you smelted before has made progress." Zhang Jingyan appeared in front of Yang Yun and told him about the latest achievements of the laboratory, and Yang Yun's mood finally improved when he heard this.

Seeing Zhang Jingyan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yang Yun asked curiously, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhang Jingyan nodded and said, "My father has arrived in Luoyang and is ready to attend the festival held by the imperial court...... My father wanted to meet his master first. ”

As soon as the imperial court arranged for Li Linfu to prepare for the festival, Zhang Gao appeared in Luoyang, indicating that Zhang Gao had never left the boundary of the two capitals, or simply had been wandering around Luoyang.

Because of Zhang Jingyan's relationship, Zhang Gao is an ally to Yang Yun, if he can cooperate well with Zhang Gao, he can form a powerful force within the Dao Gate, and if necessary, he can even introduce the Heavenly Master Dao as a force that can be used.

It's just that Zhang Gao's reputation in the Dao Gate is directly proportional to the hostility of others towards him, and many people are afraid of the prestige of the Heavenly Master Dao, for fear of losing their autonomy, and refuse to get involved with the Heavenly Master Dao in charge of Zhang Gao.

Yang Yun naturally would not refuse to meet with Zhang Gao. He sorted out his mood, then left the house with Zhang Jingyan, and went to the inn in the same neighborhood as his house to see Zhang Gao, who seemed to be coming from a distance.

"I've seen Yang Guoshi."

Zhang Gaoxing made a salute and respected Yang Yun very much, after all, the young man in front of him was his daughter's teacher, and he was also a royal historian, and he was the existence with the highest status in the Daomen.

After Yang Yun returned the salute with his fists, he sat down with Zhang Gao, talked slightly, and talked about the Taoist Dharma meeting that was about to be presided over by Li Linfu.

Zhang Gao asked directly: "There is something I want to find out, whether there is an agreement between the national teacher and Li Xilang?" Li Xilang sent a letter to me before, saying that he asked me to cooperate with him to operate the meeting, I wonder if it was the national teacher who threaded the needle from it? ”

Yang Yun didn't intend to tell the truth to Zhang Gao, but when he heard what the other party said, he couldn't help sighing, and decided to tell the truth, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Li Xilang wants to regain His Majesty's respect through the Fa Meeting, and I will help him fulfill his wish, in order to compete with the person in charge of the government in the palace." ”

Zhang Gao is a smart person, and he immediately realized that the person Yang Yun and Li Linfu were targeting was Gao Lishi, and there was a huge risk in it.

"It's hard to deal with."

Zhang Gao seems to be an outsider, but he is very clear about the affairs of the imperial court, of course, he knows that the current Gao Lishi can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and it is too difficult for others to shake Gao Lishi's status.

Yang Yun continued to tell Zhang Gao about the festival.

In fact, it was very simple, but the emperor felt that he was a little reluctant to monopolize the Nine Heavens Xuannu, so he wanted to worship heaven and earth, and found some well-known Taoist priests to participate, so as to show the emperor's respect for Taoism.

For a period of time in the future, the emperor will often appear at the Taoist meeting with Yang Yuhuan and have fun with the people.

Zhang Gao was very happy to hear this.

The emperor attached great importance to Taoism, and also enshrined a girl who believed in Taoism as an immortal and married her back as a concubine, taking this concubine as the head of the three thousand beauties in the harem, and also promoted the younger brother of the concubine, Yang Yun, who was also a cultivator, to be the imperial historian......

There are all kinds of signs that the spring of the Tang Daomen is coming, and Zhang Gao, as the head of the Heavenly Master Daomen, has a high prestige in the Daomen, so he naturally wants to get a piece of the pie.

Yang Yun said: "I will work with Your Majesty Chen Zuo, take Longhu Mountain as the ancestral court of the Heavenly Master Dao, build some buildings on the basis of the original temple, build some additional Taoist temples in the world's famous mountains and rivers, spread branches and leaves, and give land as private property, so that the Heavenly Master Dao can actively develop the sect in Datang and expand its influence." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Gao didn't expect such a good thing, if what Yang Yun said could really be fulfilled, that day Shidao would become the first Taoist sect just around the corner, and he couldn't help but be more and more glad that he had already got in touch with Yang Yun and established a very good relationship.

Yang Yun also has his own considerations, the situation is pressing, he has to do this, it seems that Zhang Gao is an ally with him, but who knows what the other party really looks like?

In order to reach an alliance, you can't just talk about it, you must be mutually beneficial, since now he has a certain status in the court, and can hand over the words in front of the emperor, you have to help Zhang Gao fight for it, originally in history, the Heavenly Master Dao also jumped from Zhang Gao to become the head of the Tang Daomen, and Zhang Gao's contribution to the development of Taoist culture is second to none.

With Yang Yun's commitment, Zhang Gao is full of motivation to do things.

Yang Yun tentatively asked if Gao Lishi had sent someone to get in touch with Zhang Gao, and the answer was negative.

It seems that Gao Lishi's layout in the Daomen is obviously much slower, perhaps Gao Lishi looks down on the people in the Daomen at all, and he doesn't think that Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yun sisters and brothers can make much trouble in the court.

After chatting for a long time, Zhang Gao suddenly asked again: "I heard that Li Xilang wants to invite Zhang Linggong to come out to preside over the Taoist meeting...... But I don't know if it's true or not? ”

Yang Yun shook his head.

Now there are a lot of rumors outside, but with Yang Yun's understanding of Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Jiuling's upright character will definitely not be "in the same stream" as Li Linfu, even if Zhang Jiuling has really lost power in the DPRK, he will not use some unconventional means in order to maintain his identity and status, and Zhang Jiuling's principle of being a man should not be underestimated.

The two talked for about half an hour, because Zhang Gao was going to Li Linfu's appointment, and took the lead in proposing to leave.

Yang Yun knew that Zhang Gao came to see him first after returning to Luoyang, just to know some details from him, so that he could get in touch with Li Linfu.

In the final analysis, Zhang Gao regarded him as his own.

……

……

Zhang Gao's return to the capital to replace Yang Yun to assist Li Linfu in preparing for the Taoist Dharma was actually a relief for Yang Yun.

It is impossible for Yang Yun to have much time to help Li Linfu do things, and Li Linfu also knows that it is impractical to ask Yang Yun, a "big man", to come out to help, so he simply went to find Zhang Gao, who has always had a good relationship with Yang Yun, so that he could not only successfully complete the task entrusted by Li Longji, but also sell his personal favor to Yang Yun in disguise.

Yang Yun is actively promoting infrastructure construction in South America.

With the capture of new tribesmen, Camp 2 grew in size once again.

Yang Yun found some patterns from the process of following the indigenous man and woman, the Incas liked to leave some marks when picking and hunting, and because they wanted to make stone tools, there was usually a stone mountain near the tribal settlement, which was convenient for polishing stone tools nearby, so in the next few days, he took Yarou to find several more tribal territories.

Yang Yun only discovered at this time that in fact, there were still many ancient Inca tribes around Camp No. 2, but these tribes were very deeply hidden, and most of the places where they lived were primeval rainforests, so it was difficult to explore deeply, so they could only be found by casting a wide net according to the terrain and landforms.

After several battles, the largest of which was the largest battle, Yang Yun led a large tribe of nearly 500 people to take it down.

There were more than 130 armored soldiers dispatched by Yang Yun's side, and it didn't take much effort to knock down the camp, the only mistake was that the Incas escaped a little, hiding in the primeval jungle and unable to search.

Because Yang Yun had the lesson of the dead in the previous war, he was very careful in these three battles, after attacking the tribe of the first dozens of people found that the Incas were extremely afraid of the war horses he brought to South America, he decisively got more than 20 horses from the Tang Dynasty, and the effect was excellent during the war.

After several battles, only one soldier in Camp II was wounded and not killed, and there were very few deaths in the aboriginal camp, because they almost fled in despair, and only two died in total.

When fighting, Yang Yun usually relies on the ability of himself and the superpowered girls around him to control the scene, creating the momentum of the gods descending to the earth, scaring the natives, plus with the help of the "fierce beast" such as war horses, the natives kneel quickly.

After several successive battles, there were more than 1,000 more people in Yang Yun's camp, and there were seven or eight hundred young men who could work.

Yang Yun didn't dare to let these people stay in one camp, for fear of rebellion, he had to bring some of them to Camp No. 1.

"The master is saying that he wants to take some people to that camp by the sea? Do this...... Will it inspire them to revolt? Wu Yuan has a different view on this.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Just rely on these guys who fight the five scum, what about resisting? I didn't expect that these natives actually regarded the horse as a mythical beast, and when they saw it, their legs were half soft, and now they are easier to manage than before, and if they arrange things, the natives can complete it well. ”

"Now I hope that through long-term contact with the aborigines, we can slowly figure out their language, or let the aborigines learn our language, and then teach them to read and write, and slowly integrate them, and when their descendants grow up, they will only think that they are also Tang people!"

Wu Yuanyi's eyes widened when he heard this, he wanted to integrate these natives? Is it possible? Now that the two sides are unable to understand each other, if they really want to realize Yang Yun's idea, I don't know if it is a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey.

However, she did not question Yang Yun's decision, after all, the natives really have little fighting power, and even if there is a real riot, it can be quickly quelled.

Historically, the Spaniards and the Portuguese were like this, often dozens of people on horseback and armed with firearms, they could conquer tribes of hundreds or even thousands of people, and they were able to establish effective rule from scratch, so it was not difficult to integrate the Inca tribes, especially when both sides were yellow.

Yang Yun said to do it.

Directly dividing the people into two parts, he is like an indifferent slave owner, and directly sends half of the people to another camp.

Camp 1 was short of manpower, and with the addition of these natives, Camp 1 quickly expanded to 1,000 people, but it was okay to build a small town with the current manpower, and if you want to build an industrialized city, the population would need to be at least tenfold before there is any hope.

Yang Yun still didn't dare to slack off.

……

……

The problem of lack of personnel in camps No. 1 and No. 2 has been temporarily solved.

The next step is to continue to expand, to spy more on the aboriginal camps, to bring them down one by one, and to catch coolies and come back to work.

Because of the natives who had fled in the previous wars, Yang Yun realized that his colonization in South America would soon be known to the surrounding large tribes, who would either take refuge or unite to attack the fortress.

The most important task at the moment is to build a fortified city and calm the hearts of the people.

The reason why Yang Yun put the peace of mind on the table is because most of the people in Camp 1 have been in South America for a month, and according to the previous reservation, they must be allowed to go back to see their families.

It can be seen that the results of his family are likely to cause the secret of his colonization in South America to leak out, so those who go back to visit relatives must send someone to keep an eye on them, and there are also certain problems in how to prevent his family from leaking the news in the future.

"Tomorrow I will take twenty people back to visit relatives, but remember, you can't tell your family everything here, this is a major matter related to Your Majesty's alchemy, if any of you leak the news, it will be a major crime of deceiving the king."

Yang Yun could only rely on empty threats to make those craftsmen obedient.

When the craftsmen heard that they could go back, they didn't care about anything, but they only promised and nodded their heads, lest they anger Yang Yun and cause their family visit trip to be ruined.

"Listen, only if the people who go back don't leak their secrets and don't cause me any trouble, the follow-up people can go back...... In the future, I will adopt a point system, whoever works well here, can take over the family members, and receive money for the same work, and the salary I will open is not less than that for you. ”

"In addition, if anyone leaks the news of the Heavenly Kingdom, I will find it by various means, and I will definitely punish it severely when the time comes, don't take chances."

Yang Yun knows very well in his heart that this set of rhetoric may not work, the cultural level of these craftsmen is very average, they will confess their situation to their families after they go back, and they will definitely tell their families not to talk outside, but people talk too much, not everyone can keep secrets, and they will definitely make a mistake in a certain link.

Anyway, since he promised that the people in Camp No. 1 could go back to save their relatives once a month, Yang Yun still had to fulfill his promise, otherwise people's hearts would be in chaos.

Yang Yun called Uncle He over and instructed: "I won't come over in the next two days, and I'll leave the matter here to you...... Watch out for the savages, and if they escape, they must be caught, and they will not be killed as much as possible...... By the way, let me tell you a trick, these wild people are most afraid of horses, and every day you send people to walk around the camp at least once, these wild people are all honest. ”

Uncle He has a certain management ability, and through the two days of contact, he found that the natives are very obedient, and immediately nodded confidently: "Don't worry, the owner, I will take care of everything, even if you are not there, everything will be smooth here." ”
