Chapter 311: Returning to the Hometown
Although this is the border of the Qi country, this place is not deserted, but extremely busy.
As the southernmost part of the Qi Kingdom, this place began to build the city from the end of March of the second year of Hongwu.
Now, a few months later, the new city has begun to take shape, and Yang Hao estimates that the city will be ready for use before winter.
The laborers who built the city were all people from the vassal tribes of the Xin clan, and regardless of their previous status, their status in the Qi country was no different.
It's just a savage who is one level higher than the labor camp, and although the savage has a certain amount of freedom, he can't own personal property.
He had to serve the Qi country without compensation, but in terms of food distribution, he could ensure two meals a day, and occasionally he could eat some polished rice instead of unpalatable chaff.
Although life is hard, as long as you work according to the instructions of Qi people, you will be exempted from some scolding.
And I heard the Qi soldiers say that their status as savages is not with them for a lifetime, as long as they don't make trouble, maybe one day they will be lucky, and the court will become a countryman with an official document, and the treatment will be earth-shattering.
With this only hope of this, the wild man worked hard to come.
The city in this remote area has been built with a hint of the meaning of an important town in the south.
It's just that it's located on the plains, so there's no danger to defend, but it's hard to be regarded as an important pass.
Yang Hao's arrival suddenly broke the peace of the place.
The project was all stopped, and the savages were strictly guarded by the soldiers to prevent someone from eating the bear's heart and the leopard's gall and crashing into Yang Hao.
The officials stationed here do not want to affect their good future because of such things.
After Yang Hao entered the city, he directly stayed in the county government in the city and turned this place into his own place.
The head of the civil officials here was a young official named Liu Shi.
Yang Hao had some impressions of him, if he was not mistaken, this person should be one of the people of the original clan.
Yang Hao inquired about the local situation.
Na Liu Shi replied with some trepidation: "My lord, this new city will soon be completed, and the surrounding land has been roughly measured. ”
Yang Hao nodded.
"Now that there is enough food in the city, can it be replenished locally?"
"The king doesn't need to worry about this, although there are more than 20,000 people here, the grain and grass transported from the north can support the cultivation time, and there are more beasts and edible things here than from the north, so there is no need to worry in a short time."
Yang Hao nodded and said, "What's the situation on the Yu family's side." ”
Liu Shi said: "Since my Daqi shocked those Miao barbarians, Youyu has also come here a few times, usually trading goods, by the way, the minister feels that Youyu seems to have the meaning of attaching my Daqi." ”
Yang Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh! Let's talk about it. ”
"Great King, the Yu clan has not been happy over the years, and has been suppressed by the Zhuxia and Miao people one after another, and the tribe is extremely poor, and its people can only hunt and gather for a living, but their tools and weapons are inferior, and they can't get enough prey at all.
Although the king allowed them to give them some of the things of my Great Qi, after these people saw the life of my Qi people, they were a little reluctant to live that kind of life anymore, so the minister felt that it was possible to have this intention.
”
Yang Hao nodded, after listening to Liu Shi's analysis, he also felt that this should be what he meant, maybe when he got there, his leader would make this request, but he already had a plan in his heart.
"You go and arrange it in a while, and send someone to tell Youyu that I will visit his department in the near future."
Hearing this, Liu Shi bowed down and said, "The minister has an order!" ”
"By the way, I remember the nearby Tushan tribe, this clan has been moving recently."
Mentioning this, Liu Shi smiled and said: "There is indeed this tribe, and I heard that this tribe is still a relative of Ji Yu, but after the arrival of my Great Qi Heavenly Army, this tribe moved eastward, and now there is no one within a hundred miles to the east." ”
Yang Hao smiled, "Heh, run fast, so it's okay, when this place stabilizes, take over all the vacant places in the east, set up a few towns over there, and move some people over." ”
"Command!"
"The new city can not be nameless, I see that the terrain here is flat, the water and grass are abundant, there is quite a beauty of fairyland on earth, this place will be called Lingzhou City in the future, I hope this place can be more outstanding for me."
"King Shengming!"
The ministers will call this new city what it is, even if Yang Hao says that it is called a dung ball, it must be made of good wood and hung on the wall.
The name of a new city was decided in just a few words.
Yang Hao was a little complacent, feeling that he really had some talent in choosing a name.
Lingzhou, Lingzhou, there is a fairy spirit when you listen to it, which is much better than what Erdaozi, Shijiazhuang, and Zhumadian in later generations.
I am Shijiazhuang Zhao Zilong, who dares to come to fight, thinking of this stalk Yang Hao couldn't help but smile, and despised those who gave these vulgar names, which made him feel that his compulsion instantly improved a lot.
A few days later, Yang Hao left his female dependents in Lingzhou City, and he and his accompanying officials crossed a river into the territory of the Yu clan.
The Youyu clan had already received the news that Yang Hao was coming, how could he dare to slack off, when the group had just entered the territory of Youyu, there were many nobles from the Yu clan who came to greet them.
Under the leadership of these people, Yang Hao and his party arrived at the place where the Yu tribe was located a few days later.
Rong Rong, the leader of the Yu clan, waited outside the tribe with the nobles of the clan respectfully, and when he saw Yang Hao's team coming, Rong stepped forward quickly, prostrate on the ground and said loudly: "The leader of the Yu clan in this generation pays a visit to the king of Daqi, long live the original king long live, long live long live." ”
These congratulatory words, Rong took a lot of effort to get from the Qi people, but today it came in handy.
Wang Bin got off the horse, walked forward quickly, helped him up, and said, "You and I are relatives, why do you need such a big gift, please get up quickly." ”
Rong was immediately moved when he heard this, and said excitedly: "King Xie! Rong welcomes the king home! ”
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Okay! Go home! ”
The two walked side by side, but Rong didn't know whether they wanted it or not, but they were half a step behind Yang Hao.
Looking at the Youyu people who were like refugees, Yang Hao suddenly seemed to be possessed by an actor.
"I didn't expect my relatives to be so down, I'm too late! It's too late, and it's made you suffer. ”
Rong suddenly choked up when he heard this: "The king can return to the clan because the gods have not forgotten us, if Emperor Shun is still alive, he will be happy to see the king come back." ”
