Chapter 61: A golden land that comes out of a soak of urine
Yun Chu returned the four golden Buddhas presented by Guo Zhifeng to him.
When Guo Zhifeng saw the Golden Buddha, the heavy sense of powerlessness made him bite his lip, blood trickled down, and when he opened his hand to face the sea and roared, the palms of his two palms each held a bubble of coagulated blood.
He led the army to find the money, and when the soldiers saw the golden Buddha statues and the heavy bronze towers, they cheered, they jumped, and they praised the wisdom of their generals.
Now, there is nothing left, the copper tower was dismantled and loaded into the big ship brought by Liu Renliang, and the golden Buddha was also wrapped in thick linen cloth by the craftsmen and loaded into the giant boat.
Seeing the giant boat go away, Guo Zhifeng fell weakly on the soft sand, and for the first time, he found that he seemed to be a useless person.
Yun Chu naturally did not have such regrets as Guo Zhifeng.
He is determining the scope of his authority as the head of the march of the Wuxing Dao, as the name suggests, the Wuxing Dao, that is, the area under the jurisdiction of the Wugu City, the area under the jurisdiction of the Dao Daxing City, all under his jurisdiction.
The marching commander means that he has jurisdiction not only over the people here, but also over all the armies here.
Liaodong Road is already vast and sparsely populated, plus the two cities of Black Bone City and Bogou City have long been cleaned and looted by the Tang Army, if the government ignores them, they will freeze to death and starve to death in this cold winter.
Gawain is a member of the Tibetan royal family.
And the emperor Gozang is now being raised in Pyongyang like a pig by Yuangai Suwen, which is why Gorwin and others did not have any psychological burden when they betrayed Goguryeo.
Of course, Yun Chu also persuaded Gao Wen through this aspect, so a new universal value slowly took shape in Goguryeo.
- We are not betraying Goguryeo, we just want to kill the traitor Yuan Gai Suwen and rescue King Gozang.
Yun Chu, gentle, Zhong Kui naturally ignored the subtle changes in the psychology of these Goguryeo people, they just want to save people now, save these people who will become the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In this era, in the early stage of the war, it was mainly about killing, and when the victory or defeat of the war was already obvious, or when the dust had settled, the victorious side had to do something to do must be to save the people.
Kill them all?
This cannot be done, and a land with no people, worthless to the victors.
The national policy of the Tang Dynasty was to relocate the people of Goguryeo to fill the seal.
The killing in the early stage was to break the fighting spirit of the Goguryeo people, and now the rescue of the people of Goguryeo is also to break their fighting spirit and dissipate the strong hatred in their hearts.
It means to use the people of Goguryeo to enrich the prefectures and counties with insufficient population in the Tang Dynasty.
Although hatred is difficult to dissolve, as an official, it is the focus of hatred in many people's hearts.
Therefore, I don't care much, as long as you pay your taxes on time and don't take your hatred on the surface, I will still treat you as a people under my rule.
The Black Bone City has been demolished into a flat ground, and the same is true of Bogou City, where only some Goguryeo people like lonely spirits and wild ghosts wander the ruins, hoping to find something to keep out the cold and something to eat.
It was at this time that Gawain came with food and shabby clothes.
He was still dressed as a Goguryeo official, and when he came, he didn't talk much, and when he saw a hungry person, he gave him something to eat, and when he saw someone who was about to freeze to death, he built a fire and put his torn clothes on him.
Slowly, the Goguryeo people who wandered like lonely spirits followed him like a flock of sheep meeting a sheep.
Gao Wen wandered around the area of Black Bone City and Bogou City for seventeen days, and when he found that there were no more homeless people in the wild, he took them back to Daxing City.
At this time, there were many vacant houses in Daxing City, and most of these vacant houses were mansions.
The original owners of the mansion were a group of despicable people, and after the fall of Daxing City, they immediately begged Lord Gao Wen, who was forced to become an official of the Tang Dynasty, to send them away.
They took their wives and concubines, and ran away with all their family wealth, leaving only their group of people who had no money to be oppressed and bullied by the Tang people in Daxing City.
Lord Gawain is going to let these victims live in those beautiful houses, but this is not possible!
That's right, when Gao Wen painstakingly collected the displaced people and wanted to settle them in those mansions, he was blocked by the aborigines of Daxing City.
According to their simple mentality, those rich people have all run away, and the houses they left behind should belong to them, as for those homeless people, they can just build a few shacks, and there is no need to live in a good house.
Fueled by gentleness and indecisiveness, the contradiction between the displaced and the aborigines intensified.
Until there was a big brawl, after a hundred and ten people were killed and wounded, the Tang army appeared, and they stopped the brawl with sticks, just when everyone thought that the Tang people were going to start killing.
The young Tang man Changshi found out the main characters on both sides of the brawl, and after a stick went down, he asked them to continue to discuss a feasible plan within the scope given by the Tang people.
First, the displaced must have a house to live in.
Second, the interests of the indigenous people should be taken into account and reflected.
While the outcasts and the aboriginal leaders were dragging their bloody butts and still refusing to give in to each other, Gawain stepped forward.
He allowed the aborigines to live in the mansions of the formerly wealthy, but he divided one large house into a number of smaller ones.
The houses of the aborigines who moved into the mansions had to be given to the displaced people.
On the basis of the lack of unanimity, Gawain's final decision has undoubtedly become the only feasible solution to the problem.
As a result, a large city with only 23,000 people became a large city in eastern Liaodong with a population of 50,000 in a short period of time.
Now that we have a place to live, the next step is to solve the problem of feeding these people.
Even Gao Wen didn't expect that the young general Dingyuan actually carried out a vigorous government act of cash-for-work in Daxing City.
As long as those who have no food in the city are willing to go to the port to build port facilities, build warehouses and other work, the Tang people will provide them with food, although it is not much, there is no problem in feeding one person
The aborigines in the city were also busy because the Tang people gave them a lot of orders for military supplies, and they had no choice but to slowly start hiring those homeless people to work for them.
The rudiments of a stable triangular society have been formed in Daxingcheng, which is based on the displaced people, with the aborigines as the middle end and the Tang people as the peak, and has tended to stabilize from the current point of view.
The irresolvable contradiction between the displaced people at the bottom and the Tang people has now evolved into a contradiction between the displaced people at the bottom and the aborigines, and the contradictions between the aborigines and the Tang people have also undergone gratifying changes.
We will change from the identity of occupiers and slaughterers to the identity of mediators and justices.
The next thing to do is to make the displaced people have feelings for the city, and in the case of foreign enemies, they can twist into a rope with the aborigines and the Tang people, and unite with the outside world, so that the naturalization of this city will be completed.
"I believe that day will come, it just takes some time."
After listening to the gentle narration, Yun Chu looked at Zhong Kui and said, "How is my port?" ”
Zhong Kui said: "The installation of storage and long-arm lifting facilities on land is already underway, and the four wharves planned are also being reclaimed, because it is winter, there is ice in the shallow sea, so the construction progress is not very good, but after the spring, I believe there will be a good result." ”
After listening to Zhong Kui's narration, Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai and Wang Defa and said: "Restrain the soldiers of the mansion and tell them that the benefits we should take have been exceeded, now that our goal has been achieved, I hope that during the period when we are in charge of Daxing City, we must abide by the rules, and treat Daxing City as the capital of my Datang Prefecture, in fact, it is now the capital of my Datang Dynasty." Can it be done? ”
Wang Defa smiled and said: Didn't the general give two rewards, the brothers have money in their hands, so naturally they won't mess around, and the things that can be solved with two dollars don't need to risk being beaten with a military stick.
The five people present all knew what Wang Defa was talking about, but this was not a big deal in the army.
As long as you want it.
Among the five people, four were in good spirits, but Zhang Donghai was the only one who didn't say a word.
Yun Chu said: "Does Zhang Duwei have anything to say?" ”
Zhang Donghai sniffled and said, "These are not my strengths. ”
Wang Defa proudly slapped Zhang Donghai on the shoulder and said: "I don't understand either, but as long as our brothers believe in the general, the class will definitely be able to return with a full load when he returns to the dynasty." ”
Zhang Donghai looked at Wang Defa, who was smiling like a fool, and had to nod with difficulty.
Yun Chu said: "In the future, Daxingcheng will be operated for a long time, I have prepared a lot of industries for you here, if there is a trustworthy person at home, I will quickly write to them to follow the sailor to take over." ”
Zhang Donghai shuddered and said, "General, are we going to run this place for a long time?" ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: Then it depends on the will of the imperial court, if the imperial court is really ready to operate the four counties of Liaodong, then Daxing City will become a golden treasure land, and all the output of Liaodong, whether it is gold or animal skins,
Or ginseng, herbs, if you want to enter Chang'an, Daxingcheng is the best place.
Not to mention that there are still 380,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty waiting for supplies here, even if you don't do anything, you can earn enough money by collecting a little tax from these Goguryeo people back and forth.
Moreover, you can rest assured that this is still without harming the interests of Datang, and during this period, there are many things that are beneficial to Datang.
If the imperial court allows, you can also establish a city here, if the later people are not so greedy, the income here should exceed many prefectures and counties, and you can also support Yingzhou nearby, monitor Yingzhou, if there is something in Yingzhou, whether it is Daxing City as a base for attack, or a way to retreat, it is excellent.
