Li Chengqian found Li Shen in a village near the barracks, and now almost every household in the village has been renovated.

Smoke was rising from the chimneys of every house, the temperature was already very low at the end of October, and the people of Goguryeo were suffering from war, hunger, and cold.

With the exception of the areas occupied earlier, there was basically no cultivation in other places this year, not because there was no labor,

It's because there are no seeds, and people can't eat enough, who will keep the seeds, so many people think that they can't survive this winter.

But what they didn't expect was that the Tang army came, and they heard that they came to save them, and the Tang army brought food and distributed it to them.

Now there is another prince who remodeled the house for them and taught them how to spend this winter.

It gave them hope.

"Tenth brother, it's really not easy to see you." Li Chengqian said jokingly.

"Why is the eldest brother here, what's going on in the barracks?" Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Li Shen was a little puzzled.

"The pontoon bridge has been erected, and the army is preparing to cross the river tomorrow, so you should also prepare," Li Chengqian said.

Oh, it turned out that the army was leaving, and Li Shen thought something was going to happen again.

"Big brother, in fact, it doesn't matter if the younger brother follows or not, the younger brother won't march to fight, and stabilizing the rear of the army is the most important thing."

"Oh? Do you mean you made a kang? This East Palace was also renovated last year. Li Chengqian glanced at it.

"Big brother, in fact, what the people want is very simple, to be well fed and clothed. The reason why Goguryeo is like this is because the common people are not well fed and clothed.

We have occupied such a large area, not only cities, but also many villages, and now there are almost five or six hundred thousand people.

It's going to snow, and although we gave them food, this winter is not easy, they have been displaced for so long, and they are all miserable people.

So the younger brother wants to do some meager efforts to make their lives better. ”

Li Shen's true feelings were revealed, which made Li Chengqian also quite moved, his younger brother has always been very kind-hearted.

In fact, Li Shen remembered a popular saying in his previous life,

I don't live an unsatisfactory life, and I can't see the suffering in this world.

"Okay, then the tenth brother will stay in the rear first and do your business, if there is something, I will send someone to inform you." Li Chengqian nodded and agreed to Li Shen to stay.

After that, Li Chengqian followed Li Shen and began to visit the transformation of this village.

This village was formed later, and they came from all over the country, and they all fled wherever they went.

This time, the Tang army distributed grain, and then arranged them here, and I heard that later there will be officials from the Tang Dynasty to measure the land, divide the fields for them, and cultivate them next year.

Every house is an adobe house, and there are very few wooden houses in the north, which have poor warmth.

Each house is an outhouse is a kitchen, and the inner room is a large kang.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with this, concise and fast, Li Shen said, wait for the future, and get it well, now it is for temporary winter.

Li Chengqian left, and continued the journey with the army the next day, Li Shen stayed, and he was arranging for people to go to other villages for transformation.

He also ordered to send fast horses to inform the city officials behind them, asking them to gather men, and all the villages must be renovated before the snow falls, or they will be sent to the front line to fight.

In fact, Li Shen was not interested in marching and fighting at all, so he used an excuse to stay, and it was right for him to do something he liked.

"Lord Wang, the Shitan Mountain you asked you to find has been found." Xue Rengui came to report.

"Really? Where, with the charcoal this winter is better. Li Shen said excitedly.

"Forty miles behind Gaimu, there are several mountains, and the crops near it don't grow much."

Li Shen nodded after hearing this,

"Let's go, pack our bags, let's go to Gaimu City."

Li Shen needed to dig out some while there was no freezing, and there happened to be so much cheap labor.

Li Shen recruited thousands of people to mine in Gaimu City, because it needed enough for hundreds of thousands of people to demand a winter, and he received all kinds of information about the transformation of the village every day.

During this period, he also received the news that Li Chengqian had captured Liangcheng, and now he is marching towards Susheng Bone City.

Autumn went to winter, more than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye, and Goguryeo also ushered in the first snow of winter, although the snow is not large, but the scenery is pleasant.

Li Shen stood on the city wall in cotton clothes and looked at the snow scene, Li Shen has been out for three months, and he is somewhat homesick, in Li Shen's opinion, what bullshit men are aiming at in all directions,

That's because it's not good to mix locally, so I have to go outside, hoping to wait for an opportunity outside, and then return home.

No one will be in their hometown and choose to run around.

Li Shen belongs to the latter, his roots are in Chang'an, his father, his wife and unborn children, and many industries.

"Rengui, why do you say people are wandering around?" Li Shen looked at the snowy scene in the distance, and couldn't help but ask Xue Rengui beside him.

Xue Rengui thought about it seriously after hearing this, and then replied:

"Back to His Highness, the minister thinks that the reason why people are adrift is to survive."

Li Shen nodded after hearing this,

"You're right, it's all about survival, full of warmth and lust, when people can't solve the problem of food and clothing, what they think about is how to eat and dress warmly,

But when food and clothing are no longer a problem, they want a better life, human nature is evil, and their hearts are greedy. That's why we need to educate the world. ”

Xue Rengui didn't know why Li Shen had such feelings, so he asked:

"Your Highness has something on your mind."

Li Shen turned his head and smiled slightly:

"It's nothing, this king is just a little homesick, I thought that I would quickly complete the goal that Aya said, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for more than two months because of some trivial things.

I don't know when I'll be able to go back, it seems that this year's Yuan Zheng is going to spend time in a foreign country. ”

Since ancient times, Chinese have had a habit, that is, Yuanzheng, that is, on the last day of the year, the family reunion, which can be seen from the annual Spring Festival in later generations.

"If the prince is homesick, you can write a letter to Your Majesty, asking to return to Chang'an, and this year's war will almost stop after the snow.

It will almost be in the spring of next year before we can have the next step. ”

Xue Rengui still knows a lot about marching and fighting.

"Alas~~~ I Aya said, I can only go back by taking the territory like the Treasure King, and now if I write back, I ......"

Before Li Shen finished his words, he saw two fast horses running in the distance, and two people who looked like heralds were sitting immediately. Come to the city and shout to the city:

"King Ji can be in the city? There is a holy decree from His Majesty to King Ji. ”

(It's 2:35 a.m., I'm done.) There's something going on these days, so there may be a flaw in the plot, and it'll be fine in two days.,

I am ready to speed up the affairs on Goguryeo's side and let Li Shen return to Beijing earlier.

In addition, I have recently become obsessed with manual six-speed cars, so I bought one with a hot head. ）
