Chapter 149: Longxi Builds a City
Following!
The old patriarch's wooden house could not accommodate so many people, so he moved the negotiation table outside, and the three long tables were put together to form a large square table.
Participating in the negotiation of the Tongrong agreement are the old patriarch, the young clan lord Mu Yin, the four elders, the first warrior Tie Mu, and the core management of the tribe.
There were still many onlookers around, all looking forward to this remarkable moment.
Even Chun Yu Zhaoyang came to listen.
"I announce, Night Wolf, Liangzhou, Tongrong Consultative Meeting, officially begins!" After the old patriarch finished speaking, he gave up his position.
Li Huai walked to the east of the table, and first hung up a map, which included the entire territory of the Night Wolf Clan, including the deep forests in the south, the surrounding mountains, and the southern part of Beidi County.
It was drawn by Li Huai himself, he had not measured it professionally, maybe some details were not accurate, and some towns were left behind, which was generally fine, at least it did not affect the use of this meeting.
Knock knock!
Li Huai took a wooden stick like a billiard bat and knocked it on the map, attracting everyone's attention, and then said.
"This is the fourth county of Liangzhou planned by this king, the county map of Longxi County, as you can see, Longxi County is the entire territory of the Wolf Clan of the Night, as well as the southern part of Beidi County, forming a new county."
The people around were surprised, no wonder His Royal Highness King Liang had been running around with Mu Yin for more than half a month, originally to draw this map.
There are several counties in Liangzhou, and they don't care too much, what they care about is what political status this Longxi County will be imposed.
Plainly.
What kind of treatment are they going to enjoy.
Syllable!
Li Huai knocked the wooden stick on the map, and the landing point happened to be the location where they were meeting now, "This king wants to build a city here, the level is a county-level city, and the Taishou Mansion of Longxi County will also be established here." ”
He did so deliberately.
First of all, the Northland County is too long to manage, especially in the western part of the south, which is too remote.
Just re-plan a county!
In this place, a government office was set up, so that the surrounding people had a place to redress their grievances, and some people taught the people to work, and the four seasons sowed seeds, and there was a unified coordination.
Chun Yu Zhaoyang heard this, his face sank, this place is a plain in the west of the river, the Western Regions pass from here, and then cut in from the south of Beidi County, you can directly enter Guanzhong.
If Liangzhou builds a city here, it is equivalent to sealing a gate to Guanzhong in the Western Regions.
He opened his mouth to protest, but when the words came to his lips, he held back, he knew that here, it was useless for him to say anything.
This is Li Huai's second consideration, that is, to seal this door, but it is not completely open.
As long as the Western Regions and Liangzhou continue to be friendly, this door can be opened, and they can pass through here and go to Guanzhong and the Central Plains to do business.
In case they tore their faces one day, the city would not only cut off their trade routes, but also defend against military attacks from the Western Regions.
"Your Royal Highness King Liang, what kind of city do you want to build? How long will it take to build? The old patriarch asked.
Li Huai thought for a while and said: "It doesn't need to be too big, the city wall is two zhang thick, three to four zhang high, and can accommodate 300,000 people. ”
“……”
“……”
Everyone's minds suddenly went black, this is the construction of a city, this is obviously a fortress being built.
A fortress like the Great Wall Fortress.
There is really such a city, the army of the Western Regions does not dare to look at this side, and without ten times the strength, it will definitely not be able to take it.
Chun Yu Zhaoyang sneered silently, this barbarian king is really reckless, such a city, there are not twenty or thirty years, don't think about building it.
If he really wants to build such a city, he will definitely drag Liangzhou down, work the people and lose money, and he will collapse without the Western Regions.
The old patriarch and the others also looked at Li Huai with a puzzled look.
"It will take more than a year to build the outline of the city, and the buildings in the city can be completed slowly, at most three or five years." Li Huai continued.
“……”
“……”
Once again, the crowd was speechless.
Even if you invite the gods down, it won't be so fast.
Li Huai smiled and said to everyone: "You can rest assured, this money is all in charge of the Liangzhou finance, and this king does not levy a penny from the people." ”
或许在他们看来,这是异想天开,然而他们不知道,什么叫做砖,什么叫做混合土。
Not only did the city have to be built faster than they had imagined, but it didn't cost much.
Li Huai is not stupid, how can he do it.
Syllable!
Li Huai pointed on the map again, and drew a circle along the edge of the deep forest in the south, "This king plans to build a pasture here, about five times the size of your current pasture, this pasture is used to graze cattle and sheep, but it is mainly used to raise horses. ”
Liangzhou is a northern region, and horses are scarce here, who dares to believe this?
It's not that Liangzhou can't raise horses, it's that Liangzhou was too poor to raise horses in the past.
This had to be changed, and if there were not enough horses, would his cavalry run and fight the cavalry of others?
"This is the king's condition." Li Huai added that it is a benefit to build a city for them, and since there are benefits, it is natural to put forward conditions.
The old patriarch didn't have any opinions, their tribe might not be able to do anything else, and engaging in animal husbandry was definitely their strength.
And it will enrich the people.
It can even be seen as a benefit.
"This one."
Li Huai drew a piece of the eastern side, including the southern part of Beidi County, which is mostly residential, and most of the towns and villages of Longxi County are here, and most of the population is concentrated here.
"This king has roughly measured, there can be 200,000 acres of cultivated land, excluding residential areas and planned construction areas, there are at least 120,000 acres of cultivated land."
In order to show his unquestionable attitude on cultivated land, Li Huai drew three circles in this area in a row.
He said in a deep voice: "These 120,000 acres of cultivated land cannot be less, whose land is wasted, and whose sin will be cured!" ”
Food is the foundation of survival, and there can be no sloppiness at all, and no discount can be made at all!
Everyone heard the chill in his words, and only at this moment did they feel a little bit of the majesty of the king.
The old patriarch also had no objection to this, arable land was a necessary condition for survival, and they did not have enough ability to open up wasteland.
It's a good thing to have Liangzhou's help.
If these 120,000 acres of cultivated land are done well, the entire Longxi County will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and the tribal people can also eat staple food.
The old patriarch keenly found that the conditions and plans proposed by King Liang seemed arbitrary, but they seemed to be what they wanted.
He had two questions, so he raised his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Liang, who is in charge of Longxi County?" How will my people live? ”
Li Huai smiled slightly, "The treatment I give to your people is that there is no treatment, after the integration is successful, you will be the same as my people, enjoy the same treatment, and fulfill the same obligations." ”
This caused an uproar among the people around them, who almost begged to be reconciled, and were ready to be slaughtered.
For example, how many cattle and sheep are offered every year, jade agate and so on.
As a result, King Liang didn't ask for anything.
directly give them the same treatment as the people of Liangzhou, and King Liang also helps them build their hometowns, open pastures, open up farmland, and build cities......
This happiness came too suddenly.
There is a feeling of dreaming.
The old patriarch's eyes couldn't help but narrow, this was of course a great thing for the clansmen.
However, for the independence of the Horde, it was simply a devastating blow.
With this way of life, it will not take a few generations for the tribe to forget who their ancestors were.
Completely integrated with Yuguo and Liangzhou.
At that time, when someone asked them where they were from, they would say that they were from Longxi, Liangzhou, Yuguo.
He doesn't say he's a Night Wolf clan.
If you refuse this condition, not to mention whether King Liang will agree, the living environment of the clansmen will be bad again.
A few generations later, you may still remember that you are a member of the Night Wolf Clan, but ten generations, dozens of generations later.
Does this tribe still exist?
Will it be like those nameless tribes, completely disappearing into the long river of history?
Production and destruction.
This is a problem.
The old patriarch looked around at the people around him, and when he saw the happiness on their faces, he finally did not protest.
Even if one day, their descendants don't remember that they are members of the Night Wolf Clan, at least they still exist.
They still have the blood of the night wolf flowing in their bodies.
That's enough.
The old patriarch closed his eyes peacefully, and his mood instantly widened, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden.
He can enjoy his old age.
However, this thought only lasted for a while, and Li Huai's next words violently dragged him back to the world.
"This king believes that the old patriarch can temporarily serve as the Taishou of Longxi County, and the elder Wuyong can serve as the commander of the capital."
The position of Taicheng will not be given to them, and some people must be transferred from Liangzhou and stuffed into the core management.
Otherwise, how can it be called integration?
"I ......" The old patriarch just wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Huai's gaze looking away, he followed Li Huai's gaze.
As a result, I saw Mu Yin.
The old patriarch was suddenly congested, if he didn't deserve this Taishou, then the most suitable person would be Mu Yin.
The key is, does Mu Yin have this ability?
Unless he is willing to let outsiders take care of it, and he also has to ensure that all the people of the clan will listen to outsiders.
This is obviously impossible.
So it seems.
He became the only candidate, and if he didn't do this, he would not be responsible for the 300,000 people.
Wrong!
Longxi County also includes the southern part of Beidi County, and if he does not guard too much, he is not responsible for all the people in these two places.
Only his prestige, as well as his wisdom, and his experience, can be the head of Longxi County.
Next, Li Huai talked to them about the details, the details were the most headache, and they talked about it all day.
In the evening, the meeting finally adjourned.
Tongrong has not yet been reached, and the old patriarch still has to seek opinions internally and plan the details into substantive problems.
Then sign a congenial agreement.
It is estimated that Li Huai will have to live for half a month.
As soon as Li Huai returned to his house, he met Chun Yu Zhaoyang, who should be waiting for him here.
