Chapter 140: Yuguan City
When suffering comes, living is far more terrible than death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and for Chongyang County, in the past two months, they have waved goodbye to their past lives, and the barrenness has left, ushering in a new life like the rising sun.
In the past month, the fame of the Emperor Fu Mu has spread more and more, and the story of the destruction of Uliyasu has also been sung, which has directly led to not only an increase of ten points in faith, but also the attraction of many refugees.
Life in the Gobi is not good, and many people are living in dire straits.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have created this chaotic land.
The current number of Huns in Chongyang County is twice that of the Han people, and such a huge surprise has sounded the alarm for Huangfu Mu, so he feels that it is necessary to accept a group of Han people to come here to neutralize the displaced population!
Dispatch many small works like Suotu to spread rumors everywhere, telling many people how good life is in Chongyang County, how merciful the leaders are, there is no darkness here, and as long as you work, you can get everything you want.
During this time, many people listened to the deeds of Huangfu Mu to take refuge, and in just one month, the population of Chongyang County skyrocketed again, and the ordinary people alone have reached about 3,000!
That's a crazy increase.
As the number increased, the Emperor's troops were also newly established, and in addition to the two hundred Shadow Guards, a cavalry of two hundred men and an infantry of three hundred men were added.
Now, counting the soldiers, in just one Chongyang County, Huangfu Mu already has nearly 4,000 people, behind the surprise, is a huge consumption, if it is not for the plundering to the surrounding areas, Huangfu Mu can not support these people at all.
However, the food of the Huns was already in short supply, and besides, with the surrender of Tuoba Mingrui, the means of plundering by the emperor and the herd were also stabilized one after another, and he did not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs.
Compared to others. Food is a big thing in front of you, but it's a little surprising, and the emperor is not too tired because. The potatoes are almost ripe.
In the Gobi, because of rain and geology, the yield of food is really low and frightening, but potatoes are different and tolerant of cold and heat. There are many mass productions, as long as the potatoes are ripe, not to mention 4,000 people, it is 40,000 people, and the emperor has the confidence to feed them.
Of course, the potato matter cannot be spread yet, and the battlefield game, in addition to the elite soldiers, food is also an important condition that affects victory or defeat.
To put it more bluntly, why did the Yellow Turbans rebel? It's not that the grains are not harvested. The court is mediocre, and the people will only revolt if they have no life, otherwise, if they have the ability to eat, how can these poor people facing the loess and their backs to the sky dare to raise troops to rebel and commit this great crime of punishing the nine clans!
The matter of potatoes cannot be revealed, and what kind of waves will be caused by a novel grain with a production capacity of hundreds or even thousands of catties per mu, Huangfu Mu can't imagine at all.
So, he felt the need to hide it. Wait until the right opportunity to reveal it.
Chongyang County is changing rapidly every day, and the improvement of power has not only made Huangfu Mu famous, but also increased the number of contributors, so. Under this trend, the emperor had to build a new city.
The Gobi is majestic, with many people and a wide land, on the one hand, it can breed war horses, and on the other hand, there is enough place to grow potatoes, for the emperor and herd. He already sees it as an important strategic place.
Therefore, the small county of Chongyang could no longer meet his expansion, so he had to build a larger and more majestic stronghold in order to better absorb the population and create his own power.
Building a city is not a simple task, and even building a stronghold requires a huge amount of manpower.
Of course, the population of Chongyang County can't be moved, it has just started, and if you build a new city rashly, it will definitely usher in an unnecessary backlash, so the best candidates are the local Huns!
Let Tuoba Octavia allocate 2,000 people to himself to build a new city, for the Huns, Huangfu Mu will not have any extra mercy, there are two reasons for this, on the one hand, for his own Xiongcheng, on the other hand, it is also to weaken the population of the Huns, so thousands of Hun refugees, Huangfu Mu will only give two dry buns a day.
I have to say.
If you look at it from the eyes of the Han people, Huangfu Mu is indeed a hero, but from the eyes of the Huns, he is an extreme executioner!
Devil!
Murderer!
High-intensity work, only two buns a day. And they can't escape, if they are discovered, they will be sentenced to death, and in the past month, thousands of Huns have been killed and wounded more than 300!
That's a terrible number.
According to the current calculation, in a few years, these Huns will be executed here, and this is what the emperor wants to see.
This new city was named Yuguan City by the Emperor Fu Mu.
At this time, the city of Yuguan, full of resentment and hatred, was full of people, their eyes were dull and their movements were slow, most of them were women, children, children, and the disabled. Yuguan City is the time when all industries are waiting to be developed, as long as there is a skill, even if you have the strength to participate in the construction of the city wall and the physical work of the house, you can be fed and clothed.
But behind the seemingly fair and democratic regulations, there are also countless wails. For women and children who have no strength and the elderly and the disabled who are out of work, this seemingly beneficial policy is a naked empty promise.
There is no labor, they just eat the most basic rations every day, many of them have a strong family background, but repeated plunder, has made them lose their homes, how sad, what Yuguan City needs is no longer their past credit, but close to the dedication.
Nowadays, it seems that it is no longer morality that stands at the top of society, but the reality that pervades every corner!
This sentence sounds rather ironic...... However, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it, reality is reality, whether it is in peacetime or cataclysm, there is always a law that has been followed, that is, the law of the jungle.
It's just that, unlike the filth and squalor hidden in the dark in the past, the world has now become completely transparent.
The guy who didn't take advantage of it, should have died! This is the naked definition of iron and blood in this era.
"Damn, didn't you two little brutes eat yesterday? Push the cart so slowly! In such a crowded environment, a noisy scolding suddenly came.
Everyone living in such an environment is terrified, fighting and temper tempers have long been tormented by hunger, and for most people, sitting still is the best way to maintain their strength and life.
The two children who were insulted, a boy and a woman, the man was about ten years old, and the woman was younger, wearing tattered clothes, and the girl was pinching the corners of her clothes and bowing her head, as if she had done something wrong, crying in a low voice. The boy fell to the side, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, apparently beaten.
In front of them was a wooden cart, which was raised high and covered with a snow-white cloth, from which a rich white fragrance emanated, and there was no mistake! That's the food that's going to be shipped to the overseers here!
The refugees around them went crazy, and they came to the cart one after another, their eyes glowing almost like that of wild beasts, and they tried their best to inhale the scent of white flour that emanated from the air, but none of them dared to come forward and reach out their dry hands and grab one to eat. Because they knew that it was for the nobles who were just a street away, and not for these filthy and lowly refugees. Months of physical and mental torment have imprinted a lowly symbol of inferiority in their hearts.
Humble refugees who offend their superiors pay with their lives. How dare they, how dare they imprint a handprint on this white cage cloth that will bring death to themselves.
