The location of Zhuti City is very important, on the map of Yunchu, it is marked as 'Lock Key to Southern Yunnan, Throat Xishu, but Sheng Luopi did not value this place, so that Zhu Ti City was attacked by a group of rogues led by Lang Yan.

Of course, this is also a big reason for Sheng Luopi's lack of power here, and it is also related to Sheng Luopi's mentality of wanting the Tang Army to go on an expedition.

The high mountains around Zhuti City stretch endlessly, only the vicinity of Zhuti City is a flat land, however, this flat land is also covered by forests, plus there are many rivers, the nearby products are quite rich, and it is on the main road of business, and the surrounding villages are relatively rich.

The ten pigs that the king of Langyan wanted, these seventeen stockades did not have any objections, and after six days of hard work, one hundred and seventy pigs were carried over by the barbarians in the stockade with baskets.

Yun Jin has seen these 170 pigs, and the size is not too big, and it is rare for wild boars to be able to raise about 100 catties.

The fact that the seventeen stockades were able to deliver these pigs on time shows that it is not too difficult for the people of the seventeen stockades to ask for such a tax, at least, no one objected.

Each village sent another 10 loads of paddy.

After checking the number of pigs, he was humane to the people who sent the pigs.

An old man said: We have no extra food.

Cha Hei said expressionlessly: It's okay, if you don't send it, I'll take someone to your village to find it.

The old man looked at Cha Heidao sadly: It's winter.

Cha Heidao: I know it's winter.

You can't do that, people will starve to death in the stockade. The rest of the people in the village began to plead.

Cha Heidao: You should thank me for letting these people stay in Juti City and not running out to harm you. Now, they still want rice, and you'd better send it, and if you let them go down, they want more than just a little rice.

He also pointed to the Langyan Road who was lying on a bamboo bed in the sun: Look, that's our king, he was covered with injuries in order to take this city, do you think a few pigs can satisfy him?

Everyone looked in the direction of Cha Hei's finger and saw a strong man covered in scars, and the scars were full of fine needles and threads.

Go ahead, send the paddy early, don't wait for him to wake up, once he asks for it, your stockade will be finished."

The people in the stockade who came to deliver the pigs went back with their heads drooped one by one.

Yun Jin's group was in front of him, and when Cha Hei was talking to the old man, they had also talked to the rest of the people, although everyone was bitter.

Wen Huan still said: Ten loads of rice, they can barely bear it.

Yun Jin said: They can't afford to pay the rent.

Di Guangsi said: The prerequisite for accepting the rent adjustment is to give them land and give them protection, if you don't give them land and protect them, why do you want them to bear the rent adjustment?

You can kill them anytime, anywhere?

If that's the case, just be a robber.

Li Chengxiu also said: Land and protection are the guarantee of the dynasty to the people, and taxation and labor are the specific manifestations of the people's return to the dynasty.

Yun Jin said: This is a social practice activity under extreme conditions, and after they send the rice, they can start the next step.

Wen Huan frowned and said, "What are you going to experiment again?"

Yun Jin closed his small notebook and said: The primitive law is binding on the people.

Di Guangsi said angrily: In other words, you will put forward more harsh conditions next time, if these people can't do it, you will send out the beasts here and enforce them?

Yun Jin sighed and said: This is something that can't be helped, don't forget, while carrying out social practice, we also have to coerce them to roll forward, and use them to completely break the primitive social composition of the southwest people, so as to make further preparations for the convenience of the Tang Dynasty rule in the future.

I only hope that you will not forget that our ultimate goal is to achieve 'long-term peace and stability' in the southwest.

The price these people pay now, the hardships they have endured, will become an inexhaustible blessing for their children and grandchildren.

Wen Huan, who had the most temperament among several people, sighed and said: It's not good to live now, how can you talk about the future? Unless a few of us are willing to be magistrates in the forest, it is a pity that none of us can give this promise, so to do evil is to do evil, and there is no need to whitewash it.

Di Guangsi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said: Okay, I'll stay!

Wen Huan sneered and said: After going back on this trip, several of us will participate in the imperial examination, and the result of participation is all high schools, you Aya has always hoped that you can go back to your hometown in Bingzhou, and start from there, you stay in this southwest and be in the company of savages, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes.

Di Guangsi said: I won't go back to my hometown in Bingzhou, I won't participate in the scientific expedition, I will stay here as an official until I see the price paid by the people here be rewarded, otherwise, I am uneasy.

When Yun Jin heard this, he squatted on the ground with his hands on his knees and shook back and forth again, and after a long time, he said to Di Guangsi: I can't stay, I must go back to Chang'an.

Wen Huan and Li Chengxiu were silent.

Di Guangsi said angrily: Okay, let's make up our minds, you go back, I will stay alone, and there are many, many things that I need you to help me. Yun Jin and the three of them were a little ashamed.

In ten days, Yun Chu's army advanced a hundred miles.

The reason why the army advanced so slowly was because there were too many deserted villages along the way that needed to be rebuilt.

Maybe what the village did in front of it was known by the women and children here, and when the soldiers built the bamboo building, these women and children took the initiative to live in.

Just like a bird's nest built in the field can attract birds and birds to live in peace, naturally, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not even ask them if they were from this village, so they sent them beautiful new green blankets produced by Chang'an Textile No. 2 Factory, and also gave them iron pots, bamboo spoons, grain, and even newly caught wild boars.

The strong Tang soldiers helped them burn mountains and make fields, helped them reclaim the world suitable for farming, helped them kill the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, helped them build bridges over the river, and Yun Chu even gave a few dirty children who couldn't distinguish their eyebrows and eyes with candy to eat.

Yun Jin and the others have done all the bad things in front of them, and Yun Chu can't do even the slightest bad thing here.

Now, all the women and children living in the new village know that it was the Tang people who saved them from danger, the Tang people who built the new village for them, the people who gave them warm blankets, iron pots, and food, and even the people who gave the children candy cubes.

It's just that the power of the sugar cube is too great, and after learning that this sweet thing is called sugar, the Tang people became sugar people in their hearts, which means people who can bring them sweetness.

These sugar people are very powerful, and there were originally some spicy men in the mountains and forests who did not follow the army to eat fragrantly, and they bullied these homeless women and children even more cruelly.

The Sugar Man caught them and cut off their heads in front of the mutilated women and children.

Seeing those heads fall to the ground, Yun Chu saw hatred and relief in the eyes of these women and children, fortunately, hatred was against those robbers, and relief was against the Tang army.

Yun Chu found that it was more convenient to capture the robbers in the mountains and forests to win people's hearts, so the army passed everywhere, and some of the few robbers in the mountains and forests were caught one after another, and finally died under the knife of the Tang people.

Stains can't come in in a clean environment.

The newly built stockade is the new world created by Yunchu, and after the Tang officials gradually arrive here, the Tang Dynasty's rule over the southwest will enter a new node.

In less than twenty years, this place will become a native under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and Yun Chu has learned from the mouths of those children more than once that they also want to become people like the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

This is very good, the new world, the new government soldiers, this is what Yun Chu really wants, even if the old ones have declined and decayed, there will always be new government soldiers joining in, and a new world will be created.

Zhang Donghai inspected

After coming back, he saw Yun Chu reading a book on the fire, so he rubbed his hands and came to the brazier and said: People are really strange, and it seems that they are addicted to doing good things.

Yun Chu glanced up at Zhang Donghai and said: For a long time, I have always believed that the duty of the army is not necessarily to defend against foreign enemies and expand the territory, but also to become a group of people who are useful to the people and a group of people that the people can rely on.

Zhang Donghaidao: Why?

Yun Chu withdrew his gaze from the book and glanced at Zhang Donghai and said: Whenever there is a disaster, the army comes, and the people cheer that they are saved, but whenever they are in an inaccessible place, the people who are lost dare not to follow the pace of the soldiers, but whenever the army comes, the people dare to open their homes and invite the soldiers to come in and drink saliva.

The reputation of the Tang Dynasty's army abroad should make the enemy tremble, and the reputation of the Tang Dynasty army should be as cordial as its own son.

In this way, such an army is worthy of the name of my Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Donghai inhaled with a toothache and said: How is this possible, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are robbing for a living.

Yun Chu looked at the elephant who was draped in two blankets eating leaves outside the big tent and said: Take your time, these goals can be achieved, as long as we are willing to do it.

Zhang Donghai rubbed his hands and said: In this way, such an army can be called invincible.

While the two were talking, Li Si came in from outside with a lacquer plate, put the plate on the edge of the brazier and said, "Aya, can you see such a brand?"

Zhang Donghai curiously picked up a gold medal, habitually weighed the weight in his hand and said: It's too light.

Yun Chudao: Look at the badge and words above.

Zhang Donghai looked at this gold coin about the size of a penny copper coin and said: Tang Dynasty soldiers?

Yun Chu nodded and said: The Tang Dynasty soldiers under the dragon totem!
