It took seven days for Li Kit's nearly 50,000 men to cross the river. Such a big move caused Wei Bojiedu to make Han Jian uneasy, and when he got the news that a large number of men and horses had crossed the river, he immediately sent scouts. After a few days of reconnaissance by the scouts, it was found that all the men and horses and materials went to the mountains at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, and Han Jian did it. How much superficial work we have to do, let's wait and see what happens! Although the generals under his command were unwilling, they also set up a way to disperse.

Li Jie, who entered the cottage, immediately began to count the personnel and materials, and he led Qin Fang and others to inspect the terrain. Liu Qi and others were busy for three days to complete the inventory of personnel and materials, looking at the string of numbers Li Jie was happy, more than 11,000 soldiers, about 20,000 young and strong, more than 30,000 women, children and old people, nearly 800,000 stones of grain and grass, and about 4 million taels of gold and silver treasures. With the arrival of large numbers of people, resettlement becomes a problem. In the back mountain, Li Jie and others found a valley with ancient trees, a vast plain, and a small river that was not too narrow, rushing away in the valley. It is a good place to hide these civilians.

Li Jie immediately ordered Li Tang to take 3,000 people to immediately strengthen the gable, use two mountains and a ditch to build a gable up to three zhang, and build a watchtower on top of the two mountains. All the young men and soldiers in the valley began to build houses, built in the style of barracks, but with more spacing between each house, and each house had a yard space. At the same time, Li Jie strictly ordered to cover the toilet alone, and everyone was not allowed to use it anywhere, and violators were severely punished. It's mid-to-late October, and it's getting a little cold, so we have to get all the people into the house before the snow falls.

Everyone was working hard, the house was taking shape in people's hands, and by the time the first snow fell, most of the people were already in the house. Li Jie continued to take people to explore the valley. It was good luck to find a coal mountain. Li Jie is satisfied, so that his plan will unfold step by step. Immediately ordered Yu Chi Baolin to lead three thousand young men to dig out tens of thousands of catties of coal in advance, and ordered the blacksmith to build a brazier. When the construction of the house was almost completed, everyone sat down and discussed the future plans with peace of mind.

Sitting in the former hall of the cottage, Li Jie leisurely took a sip of tea, Li Jie said, "The army should be reorganized and trained, and the personnel should be vigorously replenished, put into training as soon as possible, and improve combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Qin Fang stood up and said, "Your Highness, there is currently a shortage of horses, and the cavalry can only last two thousand at present. Li Jie nodded, and after discussion, Li Tang was appointed as the cavalry commander of 2,000 cavalry, Liu Tie was appointed as the giant archer in command of 3,000 giant archers, Cheng Moyu was appointed as the pikemen in command of 4,000 pikemen, and Yu Chi Baolin was appointed as the sword and shield soldier in command of 2,000 sword and shield soldiers. Qin Fang served as the commander of the whole army, Su Xing served as the deputy commander, and the remaining nearly 800 people formed the middle military camp. On the civil side, Chen Ziqi was appointed by the civil affairs to manage the expenditure of money and grain, Liu Ziyu was appointed by the fortification waiter to manage agriculture and construction, and Zhao Fei was appointed by Gewu to be responsible for the research and development of new products. Liu Qi served as the governor of the palace, and the rest of the people made corresponding arrangements according to what they were good at. After everything was arranged, Liu Qi asked a question that had always been in everyone's minds, why did he tolerate so many people, and even risked being attacked and killed by someone to delay by the Yellow River for a few days.

Li Jie sat on the chair, which was specially ordered by Li Jie to be built by a carpenter, and it was too uncomfortable to kneel. Li Jie thought for a long time and said, "Taizong Dynasty Wei Zheng said in the famous "Ten Thoughts of Taizong": "The grievance is not big, but it is terrifying. It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. It means that resentment is not about the size, but only in the disappearance of the human heart. Water can carry ships and capsize, so a high degree of caution should be exercised. Taizong thought that he did the same. But I don't think Taizong did it well enough. ”

Li Jie said, "In the past dynasties, every time there is a war, there will be a massacre. The Huns did this, Cao Cao did the same, and the Wuhu Chaohua slaughtered our Han people heavily, why is this happening. First, it is to deter hostile military and civilians from resisting and reducing enemy resources. The second is because productivity is low and there is not so much food. And the extreme contempt for the common people made the slaughter of the city so that many people and even the people themselves did not care. But! To me, every humble life deserves respect, even if he is a slave or a beggar, you can not care, but I care! With a "bang", a tea tray fell to the ground, a little guy knelt on the ground in fright, Li Jie smiled, "It's okay, clean up and go out!" "That little guy is crying" His Royal Highness Xie's words, we will answer with a powder! Li Jie was stunned, "That's it, standing aside and listening to me." The little guy stood up and arched his hand! "Get up and stand in the corner.

Li Jie said again, "The last time the horse-drawn plough showed me that the people are actually very smart, it's not that they don't know the benefits of the horse-drawn plow, but they can't, because before the emergence of new industries. They had to do that, because even though they were poor, at least they wouldn't starve. And I will provide them with new industries, all the people here will have their place, each of them is my wealth, I will make the best use of them, I will give them abundance, I will give them happiness, and they just have to work hard! The army is the guarantee of the people, the people are the foundation of the army, only with the support of the people, we can achieve victory, what is my original intention? It is to save the people of the Tang Dynasty, so I will never abandon the people, I will do my best to save more people, this is my foundation, to collect more people, population is the basis that determines our future dominance of the world, only with a huge population, can we do everything you want to do! ”

"Craftsmen are very important to us, this is one of the foundations of our development, I think in the future we will send people out to recruit craftsmen in various places. We will also set up a craftsman school for the children who have been taken in this time, and invite experienced and capable craftsmen to teach their skills, so that we can train our own craftsmen by ourselves. In fact, there are countless skilled craftsmen in Datang, but the craftsmen have a fatal problem, that is, they cherish themselves, and they are unwilling to pass on their skills and craftsmanship to others, even if they teach apprentices, they must also keep a hand, as the so-called church apprentices starve to death masters, as a result, the skills of the generation are not as good as the generation, as for the things that everyone is worried about the masters who are unwilling to teach the craft to the children, this is not necessary, as long as we promise to hire them with high salaries, and as long as the grades are outstanding and the teaching is solid, we will give them lifelong wages. In this way, they were worried that the disciples of the church would starve to death of their masters! Children can beat rabbit grass, old people can weave baskets, and women can weave cloth. Everyone has a place for him, and I will give them the opportunity to show what they are capable of. I'm not going to give alms, I'm not going to give alms, I'm going to make them my champions! ”

The little guy walked out crying, because for the first time he felt the respect of others. And soon Li Jie said that everyone knew what he said. Not only Li Jie, but even Xing'er and Manniang feel every time they go out, everyone looks at them with such sincerity and respect!

Li Jie began to inspect the camp again, and the planning of the camp was built in strict accordance with his original requirements, with horizontal and vertical rows, self-kept courtyards, and the road surface was also rammed with loess, requiring the people to clean the road in front of their homes every day, so the streets were clean and tidy. Toilets were built in strict accordance with the requirements, bathing places were also built, and Li Jie required that each person must take a bath once every seven days. Some old people sat in front of the door, squinting in the sun while the weather was good, and it was all so beautiful. In the purpose-built Gewu Academy, Zhao Fei and several scholars are teaching children to read and write. In the afternoon, the children learned to make paper under the guidance of Zhao Fei, while others learned to make movable type molds.

The miners' team was set up, each person paid two taels of silver per month, recruited 2,000 people, and countless young people went to sign up, and three days later began to dig a large amount of coal. Coal is currently used for heating, and blacksmiths have begun experimenting with coal to make iron. Looking at the piles of crushed cinders, Li Jie was distressed to death, "It's all money!" Li Jie handed over the practice of honeycomb coal and coal stove to Liu Ziyu. Simple and outrageous, with a nine-hole mold made of pure copper, Li Jie ordered someone to crush the crushed cinders into crushed foam, and then put the yellow mud and lime found in proportion, pressed the reconciled coal pile a few times, and then gently lifted it on the ground, and a round honeycomb coal exuding luster was made in Liu Ziyu's surprised gaze.

Taking out the prepared stove, Li Ke ordered someone to light a fire and try it. Seeing the honeycomb coal burning in the furnace, everyone present was excited, and hundreds of young people were recruited into the workshop to make honeycomb coal and stoves. Soon these things appeared in each house, of course, they had to be bought with money, but Li Jie had money, and after entering the mountain, each person was given ten taels of silver. Li Jie's theory is that money is dead when it is placed there, and its value can only be reflected when it is circulated, and blacksmith shops and restaurants have appeared one after another.

Li Shi also organized hunters to hunt and collect herbs, which were then purchased by Jinyiwei, and then sold by Jinyiwei's intelligence officers disguised as vendors, taking the opportunity to develop an intelligence network. Honeycomb coal and stoves were also bought by small traders selected from among the refugees to the surrounding towns and counties.

A large amount of land in the valley was measured, cleaned and turned over, the horse-drawn plough was used for the first time, and soon the land by the small river was reclaimed to nearly 60,000 acres, Li Jie took Zhao Fei and others to make the first windmill, in the eyes of people's amazement, the windmill rotated to lift the water from the river and flow along the pipeline to the field. One by one, windmills were erected to grind noodles and strike iron, and windmills entered people's lives. A large amount of land has also been reclaimed on the flat land outside the valley, and the use of horse-drawn plows has greatly saved manpower. Li Jie asked for half of the land to be planted with barley and half with yams. Eating these two things together can greatly save food. Rabbits can provide meat for their families. Li Jie also asked Jinyiwei to buy chickens, ducks and pigs from nearby and teach farmers to carry out large-scale breeding. During this busy time, the situation in Datang deteriorated again.
