By the time Tao Ying arrived in Pengcheng, Chen Deng had already led many squires to wait fifty miles outside Pengcheng for a long time. The villagers welcomed the arrival of Tao Ying's army, and countless people were crowded on both sides of the road, unable to see the edge at a glance, as if they wanted to be able to see Tao Ying in person.
Tao Ying rode on the horse and walked in the front until he joined Chen Deng, Chen Deng knelt down to Tao Ying under the horse, and Tao Ying hurriedly jumped down from the war horse to help Chen Deng.
The two of them walked with their sleeves folded, looking at so many villagers, Chen Deng asked with some concern: "Lord, the battle ahead has been won, but the people have come to take refuge, what should I do?" ”
Tao Ying looked at some ragged refugees, thought for a while, and said: "Divide the land to the people, and from today on, you are responsible for pacifying the people!" ”
Chen Deng also looked embarrassed, and seeing Chen Deng's sad face, Tao Ying couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Is there any difficulty? ”
Chen Deng hurriedly said: "The lord is new, he must be tired, it is better to rest in the city for a day and then discuss!" ”
Tao Ying thought about it, it seems to be true, in the past two months, although there are no wars and no dead, but riding a horse all the way is also exhausting.
When I arrived at Pengcheng, I saw the newly repaired city wall from a distance, and the city wall was built according to the drawings he drew when he left. The city wall of the four directions, the city draft is nearly ten meters, the four corners of the city wall are divided into four corner towers, and there are four city gates.
The walls were made of stone, and the stones were mined from the mountains next to them. After entering the city, it was only half a year, but I didn't expect that a lot of houses had been built in the city, rows of wooden houses, and wide streets in front of me.
Of course, only the houses were built in the north of the city, but the rest of Pengcheng was still a piece of wasteland, and there was a river flowing through Pengcheng, and many slaves were still building embankments next to it.
Tao Ying looked around and couldn't help but give Chen Deng a thumbs up. Chen Deng is really young and promising, he is a usable talent, and he is surrounded by a group of young people, so he is very motivated to do this.
"Yuanlong has made this change in Pengcheng within a few months, which is really impressive!"
After Tao Ying finished praising him, Chen Deng hurriedly said: "The lord has won the award!" ”
After passing through the streets under construction, I finally came to the inner city, and in the middle of the city, Chen Deng also made people build a particularly prosperous palace.
This palace occupies nearly one-fiftieth of the land of Pengcheng and covers an area of nearly hundreds of acres. This was a particularly time-consuming and laborious project, and after a few months of construction, the main palace was only preliminarily completed, while the rest of the palace was still under construction, and tens of thousands of craftsmen were busy around the construction site, and the scene was very spectacular.
Seeing the main palace that has begun to take shape, the palace is nearly ten meters high, there are seven layers of attic, and the bottom is the main hall, the main hall is comparable to the Futu Temple, which can be used for at least thousands of people to eat together.
Looking at such a hall, Tao Ying couldn't help but nodded, and all the soldiers were approving, but Chen Deng said worriedly on one side: "Lord......"
Tao Ying turned around and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "What's the matter with Yuanlong?" Do you say that such a big palace in our Xuzhou is going to overwhelm the Futu Temple? ”
Chen Deng hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, how can Futu Temple be as prosperous as Pengcheng Palace." It's just that, my lord, I don't know if I should say something or not! ”
Tao Ying also nodded and said: "Yes, such a large hall of nearly 100 acres, the main hall is already extremely luxurious, plus nearly 100 large and small halls around, it costs a lot of silver!" Yuanlong must also be worried about this! ”
"Exactly, my lord, that is, Luoyang and Chang'an Imperial Palace do not have such luxury, I am afraid that it will violate the ancestral system, and it will cost the people and money, and the people will complain!"
After Chen Deng finished speaking, Tao Ying nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Along the way, I have also seen that many soldiers and people are involved in the construction, and Pengcheng must be built, but I have no extra money, only the roads of the surrounding woods and the stones of other mountains." But tell the people that all who do something is rewarded, and I will not treat anyone badly! ”
Seeing that Tao Ying was so resolute, Chen Deng persuaded again: "However, if you need more paint, you need to purchase, what should you do?" The lord is new, the people are all gods, and there are many people of insight who want to take refuge, but if they see Pengcheng so sparing no effort to build such a luxurious palace, they are afraid that they will hurt their hearts, and they will not be able to keep people! ”
After Chen Deng finished speaking, Tao Ying nodded, there are still so many things now, it is useless to explain it, so Tao Ying patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know in my heart, and Yuanlong will understand my intentions when the time comes." Yuanlong took me through the south gate, presumably the other cities were not built. This spring is coming, and the people need to cultivate the land, but the fertile land in Pengcheng has been trampled on, so we need to discuss strategies! ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Looking at the background where Tao Ying disappeared, Chen Deng couldn't help but sigh.
After stationing the soldiers, Tao Ying calculated the time and said to Zhao Yun beside him: "Third brother, rest in Pengcheng for two days, and after two days, you and the second brother will lead the troops to Guangling to do something for me!" ”
Zhao Yun nodded, put Tao Ying's weapon in Tao Ying's house, and walked out. Now Tao Ying lives in a courtyard that has not been damaged, which is relatively quiet, but the building is different from what he planned, and it will be demolished sooner or later.
When he first returned to Pengcheng, Tao Ying had to give a banquet to all the generals who participated in the war this night, so the whole Pengcheng began to be busy again. Night came little by little, and more and more generals began to gather in the Taoying Mansion in Pengcheng. The people were almost here, Tao Ying coughed softly, and suddenly there was a sound of soldiers walking in the small courtyard, and all the generals were a little frightened, thinking that Tao Ying was preparing to unload the mill and kill the donkey!
After returning to Pengcheng, rumors spread in the army that Tao Ying was preparing to kill everyone who knew about the Yishui Covenant in Pengcheng. Only by killing these people, Xiapi didn't know that Tao Ying had compromised with Cao Cao, and their lives were just Tao Ying's stepping stones, which is why Tao Ying didn't choose to go directly to Xiapi, but came to Pengcheng first.
After staying in the courtyard for a long time, the soldiers brought the prepared pork to the courtyard, Tao Ying sat in the middle of the courtyard, and there were two rows of generals sitting next to him.
After the noise in the courtyard gradually calmed down, there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and suddenly the door slammed open, and the generals were even more frightened, and some generals even got up and drew their swords.
Tao Ying looked at Sun Kang who was sitting in the middle of the left side with some astonishment, and Zang Ba hurriedly said softly: "Why don't you sit down quickly, the lord rewards wine and meat, how can you cut it with a long sword?" ”
When the door was kicked open, the soldiers rushed in, each carrying a plate with a leg of roast lamb and bottles of good food and wine!
Seeing this, Sun Kang knew that he had lost his temper, and when he was embarrassed, Sun Kang suddenly jumped out and said: "With wine and meat, how can there be no one to help the fun, I hereby draw my sword and want to dance the sword to help the lord have fun?" ”
Tao Yingyi stretched out his hand and smiled: "Very good! ”
Sun Kang danced his sword in the hut, and after dancing for a while, he returned to sit next to the case.
Sitting next to the case, Sun Kang was sweating, which frightened him, if Tao Ying was calculating and saying that he was rebelling, wouldn't he have to lose his head?
Tao Yingjing said after a cup of glass: "Today's triumph depends on the lives of the soldiers, everyone will rest in Pengcheng for a day, and tomorrow I will go back to Xiapi to receive the merits, and I will personally report your merits to my father!" ”
Zang Ba hurriedly took the lead and got up and saluted Tao Ying with a glass of wine, Tao Ying looked at Chen Deng again and said: "Although Yuanlong has not set out to fight, he has meritorious service in protecting the land, and tomorrow I will protect Yuanlong as Pengcheng County!" ”
Chen Deng also hurriedly got up and thanked him.
