Chapter 52: This Pit Was Dug Just in Time!

The next day, Leng Yan, Jiang Wei and others and four mountain movers came to the Shiyang River.

Du Ruhui and others also followed, just because Leng Yan said yesterday that he would arrange the construction of the customs here.

"Elder Du, you allocate some money, grain, and livestock from the treasury to General Xue and General Huyan, and be sure to ensure their grain and grass, and inform them about the construction of the customs by the way!"

Leng Yan stood by the Shiyang River and began to deploy.

"Yes, King Yan. ”

"Jiang Wei, the matter of mining stones will be left to you, it is best to have three feet square for each stone, no more, no less. ”

"Jiang Wei takes the order!"

"Tian Feng, you are responsible for organizing twenty stonemasons, and ten each from the east and west to have them on standby over there. ”

"Tian Feng obeys"

"Song Ci, you can't stop making waterwheels, you organize some people to cut wood....."

Song Ci understood. ”

In this way, the matter of building the customs officially kicked off.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Xiongguan in the west of Quanyang will be called Yangguan in the future, and the Xiongguan in the east of Quanyang will be called Shanhaiguan, how about it?"

Leng Yan didn't bother to think of names, so he simply moved the names of the two famous passes on the earth.

Originally, Leng Yan wanted to name the Xiongguan in the west of Quanyang as Jiayuguan, but later he thought of a famous poem,

"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west!"

The word Yangguan is more in line with the temperament of Quanyangxi.

"Good name!

To Leng Yan's surprise, his lazy behavior was appreciated by many of his subordinates, especially several scribes, whose eyes changed when they looked at Leng Yan.

They felt that these two names were majestic, and with the majestic pass, these two places would soon shock the Quartet.

Just when the cold heat was in full swing and began to build Yangguan and Shanhaiguan,

In Tianzhu in the Western Regions, the news of Mo Wei's defeat spread far and wide, and for a while, the ministers were furious, and the voices of wanting to fight back to Quanyang were clamoring.

But when they heard that it was Leng Yan who defeated the Mo family, they were shocked at first, and then there was no news of killing Quanyang.

It's "Da Zhou is a liar"

"Leng Yan is still alive, and the Xuanwolf Iron Rider has been replaced by the Quanyang Blood Rider" News similar to this quietly spread throughout the Western Regions.

There are many spies from other countries in the Western Regions, and they also got the news at the first time, so hundreds of carrier pigeons set off from the Western Regions and flew to the eastern countries, and it won't be long before what happened in Liuhe Bay will spread throughout the Eastern Dynasty.

Jinzhou Mansion, Wang Qi looked at the holy decree from the imperial city and shook his head helplessly, not only did the reinforcements that he had been waiting for a few days not come, but he even asked a hussar general to take a thousand soldiers to repair the official road.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this time the matter is really not as simple as you think!"

Wang Qi smiled bitterly to himself, and now thinking about the scene he saw at the beginning, he will still have palpitations.

That day, when he was standing on the top of the hill carrying grain and salt, he saw a white-clothed swordsman standing on the other side of the Quanyang Realm, along with a hundred cavalrymen.

The white-clothed swordsman just stood casually like that, but his aura was like a majestic mountain, so that Wang Li could not go any further, and his intuition told Wang Qi that if he went any further, he would definitely die.

Later, after hearing the threatening words of the white-clothed swordsman, he resolutely retreated, Rao was like this, and there was still a faint blood line left on his neck,

That's why he rushed to Jinzhou Mansion and reported the situation.

However, for fear of causing a greater shock, he underreported a detail, that is, the banner carried by the hundred cavalrymen was embroidered with the word Yan!

At that time, when he saw the word Yan, he didn't say how shocked he was in his heart, in Quanyang, there was no second one who dared to make such a banner except Leng Yan.

"I should have reported this detail in the first place, but now ....."

Wang Li secretly scolded himself for being stupid, thinking that as long as he reported the matter of the white-clothed swordsman, it would inevitably cause a shock to the government and the opposition, and Leng Yan would go to Daliang to be a colt sooner or later, so he simply didn't say it, but now it seems that he thinks less.

Just when the hussar general Wang Qi was thinking nonsense, a middle-aged man walked into the mansion,

"General Yu Wang, He Fan, the commander of the Jinzhou Mansion Army, came to report. ”

"Oh, now that the holy decree has been issued, you quickly go to order a thousand soldiers, bring shovels and other tools, and go to Shanyang County tomorrow!"

Although Wang Qi was helpless, he could only obey Leng Jie's will at this moment.

At this time, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, when he went to fill in the official road, the white-clothed swordsman would be done without stopping it.

In fact, this Wang Lance is thinking too much about himself, and a lot of boulders have been piled up in the place where the official road has been dug up.

After Ximen Chuixue and Hujiajun received the news of Leng Yan, they directly requisitioned the giant pit dug by the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and in the eyes of those stonemasons, this is simply the most perfect foundation pit.

As for Cao Juncheng and others, they had already been driven out by the Hujia army and withdrew a hundred miles away.

Now except for hundreds of carts of grain and salt left here, there is not a single Great Zhou sergeant to be seen here.

After Leng Yan, who was still making waterwheels, received such news, he was immediately overjoyed, and simply exchanged for another mountain mover and asked him to assist the craftsmen here, while the other four went all out to move all the quarried stones here, and as for the west side of Quanyang, they could slow down first.

The mountain movers didn't know how powerful they were until they used them, and the boulder with two thousand pounds on their back was like flying.

With their help, in three days, the huge pit had been completely filled with stones, not to mention, it was even more than a meter above the ground.

The loess that was dug out before also made the stonemasons into mud and poured it into the pedestal of Xiongguan.

Fortunately, this scene was not seen by the generals of the Great Zhou, otherwise their jaws would have been shocked, because in the Great Zhou, it should not be said that on this continent, such a huge pass pedestal has never been seen.

The progress on the side of the Shiyang River is not small, at this time there are already 30 huge waterwheels standing by the river, and the water brought by these waterwheels has merged into a large river that flows continuously to the place where the Quanyang County Ya is located.

At this moment, in addition to Jiang Wei and his cavalry constantly mining stones,

Leng Yan has returned to the county office. He was taking Du Ruhui, Tian Feng and others to inspect the situation in the farmland.

"King Yan, you see, that area has been turned into a pastoral area, and now that there is a river passing by, I believe that it will not be long before the grass can grow, and there will be no need to worry about the problem of forage at that time. Du Ruhui changed and then introduced.

"Very good, when the time comes, we will set aside a special place for raising horses to cultivate our own war horses!"

Leng Yan saw that there were any deficiencies and put forward opinions in time.

"Yes, King Yan, this matter is already being planned. ”

When passing by a field of crops, looking at the green crops in the field, Leng Yan was still quite satisfied in his heart, because he was the creator of all this.

"Look, the Yan King is here!"

When the people in the fields found out about Leng Yan, they all ran over and saluted him, and some even knelt down for a long time, calling Long live King Yan.

After staying in Quanyang for many years, this is the first time that they no longer have to worry about food and taxes.

Some people have already started to think carefully, and they use their leisure time to start some small business, or take the surplus things from their homes to the city to sell, so that Quanyang's business has slowly begun to recover.

"King Yan, this is my family's special pastry, you can taste it, you can't buy it outside. ”

"King Yan, this is some home-brewed rice wine, do you want to drink it?"

The simple people took out their best things one after another, wanting to entertain Leng Yan.

At this point, everything in Quanyang has been on the right track, and I believe that it will not be long before the population is sufficient, and it will become a rich place.
