Chapter 450: Building a City on the Prairie
Li Chen is very tired these days.
As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the mountain, and it is difficult to defend the mountain, and it seems that it is no wonder that so many masters of the future generations will lose the family business of the ancestors. Li Chen is dealing with the Hetao mess these days, and the whole person is anxious.
The Donghu clan is gone, and the Dayue clan has run away, but this homeland is difficult to leave, and some people are unwilling to leave the Hetao, which is where they have lived for hundreds of years. Some people left, some people stayed, and how to deal with these alien people who stayed behind became a big problem for Li Chen.
It stands to reason that since the entire Hetao Plain has been included in the bag of Great Qin, then they are the people of Great Qin. However, troubles naturally followed, and Da Yue was defeated by the Qin people, so they were convinced by Da Qin. But they don't obey the Huns, for them the Huns are anti-bones. Therefore, the Dayue people and the Huns who participated in it were a small fight in three days and a big fight in five days, but they were still under pressure from Li Chen, and there was no big mess.
Yuecheng, Li Chen was worried in the mansion at this time.
The Hetao Plain is absolutely crucial for Daqin, and it will be the horse grazing land of Daqin in the future. Although the cavalry of the Qin army is strong, it actually depends on the courage of the soldiers, and the Qin army has always suffered a loss compared with the grassland peoples in the matter of horses.
If the Hetao Plain is the horse grazing land of Great Qin, then the three tribes of the grassland are the future Bimawen of Great Qin. The management of the three grassland tribes should not be as rigid as Daqin, but should let the grassland people preserve their proper wildness, and only in this way can they herd good horses.
Cavalry definitely has this heavy pen and ink in military history, and even in that special period, even in that period of modernized and motorized mechanical legions, cavalry can still emerge.
Horses are animals, although animals have their own weaknesses, and they are far inferior to motorcycles in terms of endurance and durability. But he understands human nature, and many tactical things cannot be replaced by a lump of iron.
Li Chen knew in his heart that although Great Qin's technology was developing, even if Great Qin would usher in a mechanical revolution in the near future, the role of cavalry would definitely not be easily replaced.
Li Chen has already set the tone of managing the grassland peoples in his heart, in short, he controls the grassland peoples from the general direction, and under the premise that they follow the Qin law, they will rule the Dayue with the Dayue people, the Donghu people with the Donghu people, and the Xiongnu people with the Xiongnu.
For these grassland peoples, they are nervous about the law, but they are relaxed in customs and beliefs, and between tightening and loosening, they can make the grassland peoples retract from Daqin and recognize Daqin's governance.
In general, at present, the entire grassland is still dominated by the Qin and Xiongnu, and most of the Dayue people have followed Dayue Shan Yu to the farther north to join Guishan. Most of the Donghu people had been taken captive by the Huns and became slaves of the Great Qin.
Now Great Qin has become the master of the entire Hetao region, and the Xiongnu are like the servants of Great Qin. Although Donghu and Dayue were beaten in this battle, they were seen by the Huns as fierce as Daqin, and now the Huns are obedient to Daqin.
Originally, the Donghu, Dayue, and Xiongnu tribes had a population of more than 2 million in the Hetao area, but now after this war, the entire Hetao area has even a population of less than one million. However, it was also good that the population was sparse and predominantly composed of the more obedient Huns, which made Great Qin's rule more stable.
Considering that in the third, Li Chen began to build a city plan for the three tribes of Dayue, Donghu, and Xiongnu. For a giant city like Moon City, the grassland people are envious in their hearts. After all, there is a good house, and no one wants to live in a tent.
Li Chen's plan to build a city on the grassland was not blocked in the slightest, but was welcomed by the grassland peoples, not only the Xiongnu, but even the remnants of Dayue and Donghu who were crippled were actually very eager for the plan to build a city.
In Yuecheng, Li Chen met with Xiongnu Shan Yu and Da Yue and the new Shan Yu of Donghu.
Da Yue and Donghu Shan Yu are naturally the dogs promoted by Li Chen, and they are both factions that are close to Daqin with iron hearts.
"The plan to build the city is imminent, and I plan to build the outer city wall before winter, so that the herders can also withstand the winter wind and snow. The materials and craftsmen are produced by my Daqin, and as for the coolies, you need to organize them yourself. Li Chen took a sip of tea and said softly.
"Master Hou, the wages of this craftsman and the price of materials. Now that the two clans outside are breaking out of their cocoons and being reborn, I'm afraid they won't be able to take out so much money for a while. The new Dayue Shan Yu Kublai Shan Yu said.
"Kublai Shan Yu is right, my Donghu's situation is even more embarrassing, not to mention that the craftsmen and materials can't afford to pay the money, even the coolies can't be scraped together." It was also Sha Bi Danyu, who had just sat on Donghu Danyu, who said.
"Huh."
"Two poor B."
Tou Man looked at the two of them with a smile, but he didn't speak, Da Yue and Donghu were short of money and people, but they were not short of either.
Seeing that these people mentioned the wages and materials very interestingly, Li Chen nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, if the jade is not cut, you will have to fight these people on the grassland, and only if you completely convince them, they will completely obey you.
"Hey, Da Qin is here to help you. In this way, I am in charge, there is no money for the time being, I will let the household department allocate it to you. As for the tentative interest-free loan for ten years, Dayue Donghu can exchange the silver within ten years. Li Chen took a sip of tea and said softly.
In this way, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. In addition to the cost of building this city, I will give you an additional road from Yuecheng to your respective cities, so that it will be much easier for us to do business in the future. Li Chen looked at the three of them and said sincerely.
"Master Hou, be merciful."
"Thank you, Master Hou."
Hearing Li Chen's words, the three of them hurriedly fell to the ground and shouted. Not to mention the newcomers Da Yue Shan Yu and Dong Hu Shan Yu, they were able to sit in this position because of Li Chen's support. At this time, even Tou Manshan Yu was shocked in his heart, and he felt more and more that it was a correct choice for him to lead the Xiongnu to Li Chen.
"Master Hou, we have worked hard to lay down the Hetao Plain, so the three of them have taken such a big advantage." As soon as the three of them left, Wang Li immediately couldn't hold back and asked angrily.
"Take advantage, you really think they are taking advantage." Li Chen asked with a smile.
"That's not it, let's take people and money to help them build a city, and finally give them a road, what is the reason." Wang Li said indignantly.
"Hmph, if you kid still only know what to look at in front of you, then you will be a charging material for the rest of your life." Li Chen frowned and scolded with a smile.
