Li Ze's placement of the Sivan Dan Department in Texas was not done rashly. But after careful consideration, there are many rivers in Texas, and the rivers cut the entire Texas into disconnected areas, and the surrounding areas of Boxing County are even more densely populated.

The Khitan cavalry, which was known for its rapid cavalry maneuvers, was placed in such an area, so it was natural to have further considerations. Texas will not continue to be abandoned like this, in the future, there will definitely be immigrants from the original Texas to move back, Li Ze will also move people from other places, when the surrounding counties of Boxing are filled with people, and the cities are rebuilt, the Sivandan Department will be locked in this area.

To say that Li Ze was defenseless against the Khitans was naturally impossible.

When Li Ze, Yeluqi and the others entered Boxing, the Khitan Siwandan Department that had set off in advance had already arrived at their destination, Boxing County, Texas.

The Khitan people originally lived by water and grass, and after arriving in Boxing County, they naturally settled down by the Sixin River.

At present, the Sixin River is still covered with thick ice.

A team from Shiyi organized by the Yixing Society has been working here for a long time. On the high ground not far from the river, the houses built by the members of the Yixing Society are neatly and orderly in rows. Hundreds of houses have probably been built on this plateau.

In winter, it is naturally impossible to build such a sturdy house, in fact, these houses are just some simple thatched houses, just for the Khitan people to spend this winter.

The members of the Yixing Society cut off the snow, harvested a large amount of thatch that was covered by the snow, and then gathered it together and lit it, and the raging flames melted the frozen soil, and the ashes of the burned plants and trees were dug up and spread on the ground, and then more thatch was tied into rows of grass with sticks.

Cut down the trees, nail them to the ground as a pile foundation, and then nail these straw rows one by one, and finally dig up the soil, mix it into thin mud, and then paste it layer by layer, and after a night, the soil on these straw rows is frozen hard. The frozen grass chops blocked the cold wind from the layer.

In the house, after the thin mud dries, it can also play a role in fire prevention.

Li Ze and Yeluqi stood on the high ground, looked at the round or square tents by the river below and the gathered Siwan Si tribesmen, and said: "The surrounding area is rich in water and grass, and can be grazing, of course, it can't be compared with the outside of the mouth, and you can't transfer to other places, so the livestock you can raise are limited." Of course, you don't have to move around in the future, you have to treat this place as your home and run it well. These thatched huts are a bit rudimentary, but once you're settled, you'll be able to build real adobe houses, or even brick houses. ”

"But we won't build a house!" Yeluqi said proudly.

"Of course someone will come and teach you how to build a house." Li Ze said with a smile: "Someone will come to teach you how to build adobe houses, how to burn bricks and tiles, and how to reclaim wasteland and grow grain after spring tomorrow." Rest assured, everything is arranged. ”

"Thank you, Jieshuai!" Yeluqi hugged his fists.

"You are in the business of breeding, but in the future, you will not only raise sheep, cattle and horses, but also chickens and ducks, chickens and ducks can lay eggs, you can eat meat, that is, the hair on their bodies, that can also be sold for money." Li Ze said with a smile: "In the Sixin River, you can still fish." By the way, Boxing County also has a large number of carbon resources, which is a good thing, you can also dig up the carbon and sell it for money. However, there is still a certain danger in digging this thing, and how to distinguish between different coals also requires a lot of experience, so let's talk about this after everything settles down in the future. Nature has given us a lot of good things, as long as we are good at discovering and using them. ”

"Charcoal?" Jeruzi blinked, he didn't know what it was.

"It is a kind of fuel, the same as you burn horse dung and cow dung, it can be used for heating, it can be used to boil water for cooking, but it is much stronger than horse dung and cow dung, and even silver charcoal cannot be compared, because the price of silver charcoal is too high, where can ordinary people afford to burn, but this thing is buried in the ground, as long as it is dug out and processed a little, it can be used as fuel, this is not panicked, and when we come back, I will send someone to teach you how to dig coal, how to make coal, this thing has not yet been popularized, many people think that he is poisonous, not a good thing, However, with a little modification of the way it is used, it is the best fuel. Li Ze said with a smile.

"The grace of the reinvention of the festival marshal, the Siwandan Department is unforgettable!"

"From now on, you will all be my subordinates, my people, and it is my duty to create a better life for you, otherwise, why should you serve me?" Li Zeyi smiled and said: "Select ten excellent warriors from the tribe to join my personal guards and righteous servants, and select some smart children to follow me to Wuyi to study, and cultivate them since childhood, I believe that when they grow up, they can make the Siwandan Department go to the next level." ”

"Thank you for your trust."

"These children are to be cultivated. Therefore, you have to be cautious in the selection of candidates, of course, not only the children of your aristocratic heads, but also the children of ordinary herdsmen! Li Zedao. Heroes don't matter where they come from, as long as they can lead your clan forward, they are worth cultivating. ”

"Yeluqi will carefully select the brightest children to go to school, and will also select the bravest warriors to follow the marshal and fight for the marshal." Yeluqi said.

"After the New Year, I want to go to Chang'an, you arrange the things in the tribe well, I will take you to Chang'an to open your eyes." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Take me to Chang'an?" Jeluqi asked in shock.

"What? Don't want to go? That's a great place! ”

"Of course I would like to go. It's also a place I yearn for infinitely, and I've heard people say it's a world of flowers! Jereqi laughed.

"Then follow me." Li Ze smiled: "By the time we come back, I believe that your clan will already be living and working here in peace." ”

When Li Ze left Boxing, the speed of housing construction here had been greatly accelerated, and the arrival of tens of thousands of Khitans made them have sufficient manpower, and the original Yixing members immediately became small leaders who guided these Khitans to work, cutting grass, cutting trees, burning, and tying grass rows.

The diversion of the Khitans is also unfolding in an orderly manner, and there are four townships in Boxing, and tens of thousands of Khitans are divided into four settlements. These tasks were arranged long before the Khitans arrived, and now, they are just going according to plan.

Truckloads of grain were transported from Shiyi, and all kinds of materials also arrived in an endless stream, and the abundant materials gave these Khitan people who had traveled long distances a lot of peace of mind, and they were more passionate about their work.

In Li Ze's team, there were ten more pro-Wei Yi servants, five were the children of the head of the Siwandan tribe, five were the children of ordinary herdsmen, and Yeluqi's own brother Yeluding was the most valuable among these ten people. The ten men had one thing in common, and that was that they were all the bravest warriors of the Sivan Bandan Clan.

In addition to these ten people, there were nearly twenty more children in the team, the oldest was ten years old, and the youngest was no more than six years old.

Education, assimilation, naturally start from the dolls, for this, Li Ze deeply agrees.

A group of people waited through Shiyi, crossed the snow-capped green mountains, and finally stepped into the territory of Wuyi. It has been a full three months since the harvest began to start after the harvest in the fall. Min Rou and Chengde Wolf Rider didn't feel much yet, but Li Ze, Li Mi and his personal guards and servants were all excited.

Today's Wuyi is not the Wuyi of the past, a large number of immigrants, but also the influx of the rich, so that the population of Wuyi from the original only more than 20,000 households and tens of thousands of people, suddenly rose to nearly 100,000 people, villages and villages, everywhere. Near Daqingshan, there are countless cellars, and with the help of the abundant timber in Daqingshan, it has now become a concentration of materials such as charcoal, bricks, and lime for Wuyi. Even in winter, smoke billowed from every cellar, and countless wagons, ox carts, and donkey carts, dragging charcoal, bricks, and tiles, had rolled the thick snow into deep ruts.

Seeing Li Ze's banner and the cavalry of the brigade, these vehicles hurriedly drove their carriages to the side of the road to make way for Li Ze, and when Li Ze passed by them, these people cheered loudly.

Li Ze also pulled down the scarf covering his face, smiled and waved to these people, every time he waved, he would attract even greater cheers.

The changes that Li Ze brought to Wuyi were real. And Wuyi is also Li Ze's basic plate, and it is with the current rich Wuyi that Li Ze has more confidence to stride forward.

The cavalry passed through Zhuangzi, where Li Ze had lived for more than ten years, and now there was a new guest, Li Ze's second uncle, Li Anmin.

"Min Rou, you go to see the second uncle on my behalf, I won't go." Li Ze turned to Min Judo. "It's about to be the New Year, let's see what the second uncle still lacks."

"Yes!" Min Rou rode away with a whip.

For this second uncle, Li Ze has no bad feelings, and of course, he doesn't have any good feelings. If he can successfully win the northern land in the future, become the king of the northern land, and stabilize the ruling foundation, then the second uncle, who has rich experience in governance, can also come out of the mountain again to give himself a helper.

Anyway, it's a family, and when he becomes the climate, he won't have any other ideas. At that time, he will only be better if he is good.
