Chapter 149 Laying a solid foundation
Lin Yuan peeled off the sheepskin in his hand layer by layer, and a simple gray-white pottery shard appeared in front of everyone.
"It's ......"
Father Kua looked curious, he could see from the faces of King Yan and the people around him that the object in Lin Yuan's hand was by no means ordinary.
The thing, it looked, seemed to be a fragment of some kind of clay plate, about a third the size, covered in dust, and there seemed to be some handwriting, but it was not very clear.
Lin Yuan took the fragment in his hand, looked at it carefully, then turned it over, saw some of the palm prints left behind, and was overjoyed, happily hugged Jiu Yao's shoulders, and said:
"Jiu Yao! That's great! That's what I'm looking for! Vulcan Emblem!! That's great! “
Jiu Yao was startled by Lin Yuan's sudden hug, and a blush appeared on her face.
"God-given...... Let go, everyone...... It's all watching......" Jiu Yao said angrily.
Lin Yuan snorted, took a step back, carefully placed the fragment of the Fire God Badge in his arms, and announced loudly:
"That's it! Our mission is almost complete! From tonight! Yangcheng is our Yan clan's!! ”
"Wow............"
The cheers of the soldiers fled all day long, and the aftermath lingered for a long time......
That night, under the arrangement of the nut, all the soldiers of the Sabah tribe were in Yangcheng and rested beautifully for the night, and those feudal soldiers had already unloaded their equipment and returned to their homes with their wives and children.
Nothing to say all night......
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yuan held a general meeting of the whole city, at which Lin Yuan announced to everyone that he would take over Yangcheng, and publicly stated to all the people of Yangcheng that he would never kill innocents indiscriminately, and asked the people to rest assured and resume their original lives with peace of mind.
However, this order, except for a group of people, who were the same people who did not return the looted materials according to Lin Yuan's order the night before, and the Sabah soldiers under Lin Yuan, together with the nut, arrested those people.
There were about a dozen people in total, and when they heard that Lin Yuan was about to take a look at their right hands, they trembled with fright.
Lin Yuan glanced at it, he was not a person who liked cruelty, but he had to take some measures as punishment, so that he could establish prestige and order in this city.
"Give them two to choose from!" Lin Yuan raised his head and said majestically, "First, his right hand was cut off in public by a stone axe, whether he can survive or not depends on his creation...... The second is to be reduced to a slave, not to be free for life, and to work for Yangcheng! ”
Lin Yuan's order, these people did not hesitate much, and they chose to be slaves, yes, instead of choosing to cut off their hands and suffer for a lifetime, it is better to be a slave temporarily, although it is very miserable, but at least it is not so painful, not to mention that under the conditions at that time, cutting off the palm of the hand, without any help from medicine, can survive or not.
Lin Yuan was also quite satisfied with this result, after all, at the moment, there was a lot of waste to be built, and Yangcheng urgently needed a lot of manpower, and in this primitive period, the most effective productive force was slaves, simple and rude, this was the benefit of slavery.
Just now, Nut reported to Lin Yuan about the situation in Xiayang City, in this city, all the city's residents together, there are about more than 5,000 people, and there are also hundreds of slaves, most of whom are brought by the Huang clan for sale, Lin Yuan is not very satisfied with this, because he has high hopes for Yangcheng, and he needs more slaves in his grand plan......
It seems that more Huang people need to be arrested......
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Then, Lin Yuan immediately made some adjustments to the management of the city, he appointed Nut as the city lord of Yangcheng, the soul messenger of the Sabah tribe as the deputy city lord, and then appointed Kuafu as the herald of the Yan clan, Ganzha as the captain of the cavalry, and Scar of the Sabah clan as the head of the infantry regiment, in addition, he also specially demarcated a piece of land on the periphery of Yangcheng, which was specially used as the training and living area of the Sabah army, so as not to affect the normal life of the established people.
At the same time, he made three major promises to all the city's residents, namely: not to expropriate, not to rob, and not to intrude, and asked the people of Yangcheng to restore contact with the surrounding towns as soon as possible, and continue to make Yangcheng the core of trade and trade.
Because Lin Yuan knew that the reason why Yangcheng existed was because of its geographical location, it was a transportation artery connecting Saiwai and the Central Plains, and it was also a commercial and trade center.
Without trade, Yangcheng has neither farmland nor rivers, and it is difficult to survive, and if it continues to do a good job in commerce, then through this kind of trade activities, Yangcheng will gradually accumulate a strong wealth and power.
When he finally arranged some other chores, he was finally able to rest for a while at noon.
In the city lord's tent, Lin Yuan sat on the high-backed chair that had been repaired, and had lunch with many heroes in the audience.
"King Yan! What is the value of that treasure you found? We're curious! ”
Kua Fu sat in the audience, grabbed the fragrant roast pheasant in one hand, swallowed a large mouthful of meat, and asked curiously.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said:
"This thing is a sacred relic of our Vulcan Cult, in the past few hundred years, it has broken into three pieces and lost on this land, at the moment, although we have only found one, but this is a good start, as long as we can find the remaining two pieces......"
Lin Yuan said this, paused, his eyes radiated excitement, and then said slowly:
“…… If I can get it together, I can restore the glory of the Ancient Yan Clan again...... Even...... Create a greater miracle ......"
After listening to Lin Yuan's words, everyone in the audience rushed to the glory, and several people looked at Lin Yuan with awe.
"That'...... King, when are we going to find the remaining pieces? He touched his beard and asked:
"No hurry...... First of all, we have to find a way to catch the escaped city lord, from his mouth, we can ask where the remaining fragments are, I have arranged for a few cavalry to search around with the Silver Lakers, this place is surrounded by the Gobi Desert, he can't run far......"
Lin Yuan paused, took a sip of water, and then said:
"Also...... During this time, I also plan to organize manpower to strengthen the walls of Yangcheng again...... We will defeat the Huang Clan, and the other party will definitely wait for the opportunity to fight back, we have to be prepared......"
He nodded yes, and when he wanted to ask something, suddenly, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a herald rushed in, and Dasheng said:
"Report ...... King Yan, the Tongyu patriarch of Silver Lake is here......"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he thought in his heart that he really thought of something, great, he was just looking for her......
"Let her in!!" Lin Yuan ordered.
However, the herald seemed to hesitate, and he said hesitantly:
"That...... Yanwang ...... She didn't come alone...... And...... And ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the curtain behind him slammed, and seven or eight men in black linen hooded jackets rushed in and pushed the herald aside.
Everyone sitting in the big tent was shocked, before Lin Yuan could stand up, Worm Zha and Scar had already rushed forward with stone axes, and Hou Yi didn't know when, he was already protecting Lin Yuan.
"Wait a minute!!" Lin Yuan hurriedly drank Worm Zha and Scar, these two barbarian warriors, although their courage is commendable, they are impulsive and prone to accidents......
Although the dozen or so black-clothed men in front of him had never seen them, since they were able to swagger through the heavily guarded guards near the city wall so swaggeringly, and walked here, they would definitely not be enemies, at least, he didn't see them holding weapons.
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Raza and Scar stopped and stood in front of each other, but they still looked at each other vigilantly.
The dozen or so men in black didn't move, their hands hanging down beside them, their heads bowed, and nothing in their hands.
Then the two people standing in the middle slowly took off the hood from their heads, revealing their heads.
When Lin Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned!
