Chapter Ninety-Seven: Prepare Before You Go Back!

The next day, when Lu Chen sent people to teach these tribesmen how to build city walls and how to polish stones, he found a problem, these people are indeed too stupid! It was a very simple process, but it made them scratch their ears and cheeks anxiously, but fortunately, Lu Chen next to them sent someone to guide them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, these people are not all shortcomings, although their IQ is low, but their strength is surprisingly great. Before, when they were fighting, it was not obvious. But now that they are working, the gap between these people and the people in the Holy City is instantly manifested.

A cubic meter of stones, the middle-aged men of the Holy City are already very tired to carry a piece, but these people can still run with a piece on one shoulder. Even when Lu Chen saw this scene for the first time, his face was full of shock, these guys are really human?

With the addition of these people, the construction of the outer city of the Holy City has also accelerated a lot. These more than 200 people are at least as good as 600 people on their side in terms of manual work.

Moreover, these people are not picky eaters, which makes Lu Chen feel happy for a while, fortunately this is in the Tang Dynasty, if it was in his previous life, this kind of cheap and capable labor force is definitely a treasure!

What Lu Chen didn't expect was that after they had been working here for a few days, these people actually wanted to move their tribe over. In their opinion, there is so much open space here, it would be wasted if they didn't plant crops, not to mention, in their words, those women and children of their tribe are not much worse than the guards of the Holy City to do physical work.

Although these words made Lu Chen's subordinates feel a little embarrassed, after being a soldier for all these years, in the end, they were not even as good as their girls. But that's the way it is, no matter how much they quibble, it's useless, and the strength is there.

When these women and children came, those fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers were able to carry huge rocks and run back and forth like a fly, which seemed very easy.

This stunned a group of people in the Holy City, what the hell is this human?

At the same time, the two tribes that moved in also began to carve out land around the Holy City, and the land that had been abandoned due to the extermination of the other four tribes was now being used again.

Although Lu Chen was very generous to these people, Lu Chen did not reduce the precautions he should have. Lu Chen gave a death order: these Tibetans were forbidden to enter the inner city of the Holy City, and at most they could only move in the outer city. Moreover, they could not be given more than five days of wheat at a time, and if they defected, they could be cut off from their food supply immediately. After all, these people just took a fancy to the wheat in their holy city, and they couldn't be sure that there would be bad intentions that day!

As for the future, when the Holy City develops, they will no longer be afraid of these small tribes, not to mention that even if these people drive them away, they may not be willing to leave.

Seeing that the Holy City was growing steadily every day, Lu Chen went to Minzhou City again. Without the hindrance of the Jiang family, the Datang Express became popular throughout Minzhou City in just a few days, and those who had no money could buy an entertaining newspaper, and those who had money would buy another beautifully decorated periodical.

At Lu Chen's suggestion, Datang Express no longer has only magazines, and Lu Chen has also provided them with several fresh templates, such as periodicals and newspapers.

Not to mention Datang Express, seventy percent of the shops of the Jiang family before have now completely fallen into the hands of Lu Chen. The gold and silver earned by these shops will be used by Lu Chen to buy a large amount of supplies, and then let Longyan send people to pull them to the Holy City.

Because he copied the Jiang family's lair, Lu Chen didn't have to worry about funds, so he asked these shops to exchange all the money he earned on weekdays for some important materials, and finally stored them in the Holy City.

After seeing that the situation here had all begun to develop steadily, Lu Chen planned to return to Chang'an City. In fact, a few days ago, Tang Xuanzong sent someone to send a secret order, asking him and Li Xinran to return to Chang'an City in the next few days, first, to reward the two of them, because Tang Xuanzong has always hoped to find an example for the younger generation to inspire those officials who have nothing to do in Chang'an City. Secondly, it will be Tang Xuanzong's forty-fifth birthday in more than half a month, and Lu Chen must go back early to prepare.

So, Lu Chen discussed the general direction of the future development of these shops in Minzhou City with the owners of these shops, and that night, Lu Chen returned to the Holy City.

The next day, Lu Chen stayed in the Holy City and rested for more than a day. In recent days, he first experienced the war, and then reorganized the post-war Minzhou City, which made him feel very tired physically and mentally.

When he felt that his body was fine, Lu Chen prepared to return to Chang'an City on the second day. After all, the Holy City was his first base, and Lu Chen didn't want the slightest mistake here. The Holy City doesn't need to worry about cavalry, the two mountains are a perfect line of defense, and it's hard to find such a good location.

And now they have more than 3,000 Holy City city guards. After bringing back the two tribes of Tubo, Lu Chen re-disrupted the more than 2,000 people who originally belonged to Lin Yuan, as well as the original 1,000 people in the Holy City, and then re-formed them.

Lu Chen asked Long Yan to stay in the Holy City, there must be a general here, once the Tubo army comes to attack the city, someone must be in charge, although there are also some old generals under Lin Yuan, but Lu Chen is not at ease with them.

With the perverted defense of the Holy City, and the more than 3,000 people led by Long Yan, it was impossible for them to break through the city unless the number of the Tibetan army exceeded 10,000.

This is still in the case that the outer city has not been built, once the outer city is built, the Holy City City Guards will definitely expand, and Lu Chen's proposed number is eight thousand. With Lu Chen's idea, he wants to develop the elite route. Give them the best equipment, the best supplies, and the most arduous training, so that these people can fight with one against three or even with one against four.

Lu Chen just told Long Yan some follow-up ideas, as for how to develop, it depends on Long Yan, which can be regarded as a space left by Lu Chen for Long Yan to display his talents.

Hearing that she was going back, the most unhappy person was naturally Li Xinran. After staying here for such a long time, she followed two battles, and both were small-scale. This made her very unhappy, as long as she saw Lu Chen in the past few days, she thought that he didn't bring her with him during the previous war.

Lu Chen could only hide that the battle was too sudden at that time, and there was no time to call her. Li Xinran naturally wouldn't believe Lu Chen's words, but now that the battle was over, she just complained.

Lu Chen had been preparing for more than three days, and he had rechecked the Holy City's defense system. At the same time, with the gold and silver found from the Jiang family's treasure house, Lu Chen dug an underground secret room under the Holy City, as for the location of the entrance, only Lu Chen, Long Yan and the old patriarch knew, after all, in the Holy City, these were the two people who were most worthy of Lu Chen's trust.
