At the banquet, it was very simple, but it was some sparse food in the army, and a roast sheep banquet was made.

This is Yingzhou Mansion, which has been separated from the Central Plains for a long time, and has gradually integrated some alien elements.

Yang Lin asked a few words to reassure the refugees in the state capital, which had been under Khitan rule for a long time, and inevitably flowed into many foreign races.

There were Han, Khitan, Dangxiang, Tatar and Uighurs...

Yao Gu said with a sad face: "Some scholars are unruly, lazy to eat and don't talk, and they like to make things around. Many of these people were the children of large families, and they came with slaves, and they usually bullied the local people, and no one dared to provoke them. ”

"Hit." Yang Lin tore a piece of barbecue meat and scolded: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, that's what I'm talking about." Yunnei is a land of plague, a newly restored territory, but not a place outside the law. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Lin twisted his eyebrows and asked, "How is this kind of scholar?" ”

Yang Keshi, who was cutting meat on the side, said with a smile after hearing this: "Shaozai, in a group of sheep, two or three wolves are mixed in, and the sheep will be chaotic." There aren't a lot of these people, but it's not a light toss. ”

Yang Lin chewed the meat and said, "That's easy to do, use one trick to kill chickens and monkeys, find a few fierce ones, and establish authority in Yingzhou Yunnei." If you hold on for a few more days, the Ministry of Officials will already be selecting Yunnei officials. ”

These generals were beaming, they were fed up with being stationed in this place, and they just hoped that these trivial matters would not be taken care of by the army.

Just a short rest in Yingzhou, early the next morning, Yang Lin and his entourage rushed to Datong.

The closer you get to Datong, the more obvious the remnants of the war become, with hills piled up in many places, and countless corpses buried underneath.

In this bloody battle, you come and go, the Khitans, Jurchens, and Song people each fought a few bloody battles, killing all the grass and trees sadly, bloody everywhere, and I don't know how many creatures died.

Now the dust has settled, but the wound cut in the cloud by this battle cannot be healed overnight, and Datong is the deepest part of the wound.

The Western Army under Yao Pingzhong's command came and went like the wind, rolling up dust everywhere.

It's devastated, it's in ruins, and it's in need of people everywhere.

Yang Lin had already noticed that there were many young people who were not very strong and did not look very strong, struggling to carry the wood.

For the same size of wood, the soldiers are often two or one people, and some are carried by more than a dozen people, that is, the scholars who came to help Yunnei.

After Yang Lin saw it, he laughed unconsciously, not that he was not kind, it was really funny.

The scholars of this era, who are self-disciplined and from poor families, are studying hard in the cold window, shaking their heads and studying the scriptures and history, and the sun can't be exposed to the sun a few times.

If you have a good family background, you can't help it, looking for flowers and asking willows, poems and songs, and singing songs every night.

Among the 100 scholars, there are a few sturdy ones, which are already good.

I hope that this time, it can make their pale faces more normal people.

Yao Pingzhong came on horseback with a group of generals and met Yang Lin on the outskirts of the city.

After dismounting, Yao Pingzhong took off his helmet, his face covered with beads of sweat covering the white cloth, and he hugged his fists and said: "Teacher, to rebuild Datong Mansion, you need bricks, stones, wood, lime, and iron... The household department has not allocated money and food for half a month. ”

"Now the treasury can't come up with too much money, and the north has been fighting for years and years, and the soldiers are often hundreds of thousands. In the south, there was a naval division, and there was also the Jiaozhi Rebellion, which dug canals, and asked for money everywhere. Yang Lin said a few words for the household department.

Yao Pingzhong disagreed, and said: "Teacher, the disciple thinks that Yunnei should be the top priority. If this place is not repaired, I don't know how many times more money and food will be spent in the future. In case the same city is lost, it will not be half a point of loss. ”

Once a city like Datong is lost, it may not be able to take it after a few years of siege.

At that time, the loss of soldiers, money, food, and materials is indeed not a small amount.

Yang Lin nodded and said, "I'll let the ministers of the DPRK and China think of a way again." But this tree, the woods in Hebei are being cut down, and it is just right to be transported for use. ”

In order to prevent the Khitan from going south, I don't know how many trees have been planted in the past 100 years, and the emperors of the past dynasties will also issue special edicts to protect these trees, and many places have long been full of towering giant trees.

These dense forests did play a certain role, but now Hebei is inland, protected by the sixteen states of Youyun, and it is not afraid of being trampled by iron hooves again.

Now the roads in Hebei are no longer passable, and the plan to cut down trees has long been implemented, and a lot of timber has been transported to Bianliang, where the timber market is a bottomless pit where more or less can be consumed.

As soon as Yang Lin gave the order, they had to be transported to Yunnei, but fortunately, they were not far apart.

Datong City, which has not yet been cleaned up, has decomposing corpses on various streets, exuding a disgusting rancid smell.

Yang Lin came to the camp of the Western Army on the outskirts of the city, snoring loudly in the big tent, and Uncle Xu was tired and asleep, still wearing linen and green clothes.

Yang Lin smiled, and kicked him lightly in the past, Uncle Xu slowly opened his eyes and said in a daze: "Uncle, do you want to go back to Bianliang?" ”

"What kind of Bianliang, the plague has not been cleared up here, good nephew, you still have to continue to shine." Yang Lin held his shoulders and encouraged.

Uncle Xu came to his senses at this time, rubbed his eyes, and said bitterly: "My good uncle, there are too few Langzhong here, sometimes the prescription is prescribed, and I can't find someone to boil the medicine." ”

Yang Lin glared at him and said, "Isn't there Han Shizhong's military medical battalion?" ”

"A drop in the bucket, a drop in the bucket." Xu Shuwei was about to start a tirade, but Yang Lin hurriedly interjected to stop him and said, "Then Han Shizhong's military medical battalion was also taught by you, why don't you continue to recruit apprentices in Yunnei to learn by doing, it's not easy for you to be caught?" ”

Uncle Xu sighed slightly, the uncle in front of him seemed to have to squeeze himself dry.

He whispered: "Uncle, your nephew and daughter-in-law can't give birth to a son, I am in Bianliang, I just found a concubine, if I die of exhaustion here, our Xu family will be dead." ”

Yang Lin laughed, his face was triumphant, he patted his chest and said, "Son, I have this thing, if it doesn't work, I'll give you a step." But I have to tell you, if you can't have a son, you have a relationship with both husband and wife. Look at your uncle, isn't he so strong and can have so many children? You won't be no, don't be embarrassed, next time I'll whip Ruan Xiaoqi's sea dog 1 and leave you some? ”

Uncle Xu just wanted to refute, this unreliable cousin didn't say a word of justice, his sons were his younger brothers, how could he succeed. Until he heard the last sentence, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "A word is a certainty!" ”

That's a real treasure.
