sweeping the world

Chapter 52 It's finally here!

The area of ​​the resettlement site is not suitable for building a city. Liu Yan chose this place at the beginning because it can defend the valley, not because the terrain of this place is so good.

Building a city requires detailed exploration, and under normal circumstances, there must be enough water sources. Obviously, there are not enough water sources near the resettlement site.Furthermore, it is too close to the coastline, which is really not suitable for building a city. When a typhoon or hurricane comes, will the house be able to withstand it?
It’s not nonsense. The ancients built cities with two elements. The so-called mountains and rivers, water is the first, and the mountains are for firewood.You must know that there was no running water in ancient times, and fire basically relied on wood.Water may depend on drilling wells, but what about firewood?
To put it simply, do you know how much dry firewood Tian Shuo has prepared in order to survive the rainy season that will last for an unknown amount of time?There are nearly [-] woodsheds for firewood alone!Before the rainy season, he even ordered people to prepare food that could be eaten cold, fearing that during the rainy season, the wood would be wet and unable to make a fire.

Liu Yan has no plans to build a city for the time being.One is that the strength is too weak, and the construction of the city is tantamount to calling the Zhao court to destroy it quickly; the other is that the collected stones have been accumulating, and the amount is not enough to support the construction of the city.

Yes, Liu Yan is just waiting, and when he has gained a firm foothold, there will be enough farmers in the system, or if he doesn't build it, he will definitely build a majestic city!
"Huh?" Liu Yan was planning to go back to take a nap, but Tuobaxiu blocked him on the road: "What... are you doing?"

Speaking of which, Tuobaxiu has been very quiet recently, and now she reappeared with a serious face, it seemed that she had something to say.

"I promise you." Tuobaxiu's body was actually dripping wet, fortunately she was wearing sheepskin, or the clothes would have been soaked and stuck to her body.But then again, what's so good about a body with a thick waist and a big butt?She stared at Liu Yan and said, "Release the two of you."

Fortunately, Liu Yan has a good memory, otherwise he would probably be stunned by such a thoughtless sentence.

Trading with Tuoba Xianbei is a planned strategy of Liu Yan.Tuoba Xianbei is not strong, it can even be said to be a little weak (he thinks), so during the mutual trade, Liu Yan can get stable cattle, horses, and sheep, and Tuoba Xianbei can get weapons and salt.

It is conceivable that Tuoba Xianbei, who has enough weapons, can hold back and not expand?Salt is also a scarce item for the grassland tribes. It should be said that there are not many places where salt is produced.With these two things, it can be predicted that Tuoba Xianbei must grow stronger. After growing stronger, can Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei live in peace like this?
Liu Yan agreed very simply, and then he was about to leave.

"Wait!" Tuoba Xiu kept looking into Liu Yan's eyes: "Are you confident that you can deal with Shi Zhao's revenge army?"

Liu Yan didn't even bother to answer, he really just walked away, leaving a stalwart... back view.

The rainy season seemed to be longer than usual, and it lasted for thirteen days intermittently. When the weather cleared up, the resettlement site immediately returned to normal.

"There are more than three hundred newlyweds?" Liu Yan was waiting for the last four days full of excitement, but recently he didn't care much about things, which resulted in some things not being dealt with in time.He remembered that there was such a group wedding, and it was rare that he showed some meat: "Nothing happened to the newlyweds, right?"

It's a bit unfounded to worry about. In ancient times, marriages all went from strangeness to familiarity. If you haven't experienced any love, you will jump to the family relationship between husband and wife.This kind of marriage, coupled with the customary relationship, is not satisfactory and makes do with it, and there are very few quarrels because of disagreement.It is precisely because there are few quarrels that they are especially recorded. If there are too many, there is no need to record them at all. Who would record a person's normal three meals a day? (Well, "Live Another 500 Years" from "My Great Qing Dynasty" will.)
Tian Shuo came to report the digging of ditches.

The rainy season has just passed, and the soil is soft, but it is also easy to cause water accumulation, which is obviously not suitable for digging ditches.

"Then continue to cut wood." Liu Yan remembered that he wanted to cultivate the fields, and said: "Separate a group of people to tend the fields. I heard that there will be a rainy season in a month or so, so hurry up to clear the land and plant beans. It will also increase some harvests."

Tian Shuo actually thought the same way, and immediately agreed with "No", and then coyly mentioned another matter.

Related to the surrounding Wubao, almost all Wubao have the same action, that is, after contact with the Han tribe, each Wubao proposed marriage.

It's not a marriage with Liu Yan, those tycoons or big families may think about it, but firstly, they are worried about Liu Yan's status, and secondly, they don't want to invest so much.What they hoped was to marry some of Liu Yan's important subordinates, and the ones they married were not daughters of the direct line, but daughters of concubines.

"Look at what you guys think, if you think it's suitable, then accept it." Liu Yan said accepting, which means that he is not a regular wife: "Three wives and four concubines, whatever you want."

So Liu Yan is a time traveler. Not everyone can do three wives and four concubines. If you don't have a certain status, you don't have the qualifications for three wives and four concubines. Three wives and four concubines are only treated by princes and kings.Ordinary people are also regular wives and cannot have concubines, only maids or tongfang (sleeping with them).

Therefore, Tian Shuo was stunned when he heard it, and then showed great desire.He understood it this way, thinking that Liu Yan had promised them the position of a prince, and he was so excited that his brain almost congested.Then, he seemed to have found his purpose in life, and he wanted to jump over and hug Liu Yan's thigh, so he could only hold back as much as he could, not counting cursing and swearing in his heart, he would definitely swear for Liu Yan.

Those guys in Wubao are really hard to deal with. Before the situation is unclear, it is appropriate to send out a concubine girl, since she has a relationship with the Han Dynasty and can give up at any time.After all, a concubine's daughter, to put it bluntly, is the daughter of a non-legal wife, and she has no status in the family.Family?For the survival and rise and fall of a family, what is family affection?
Originally, those people including Tian Shuo did not intend to accept it, but Ji Chang gave a different opinion.

"Accept it." Ji Chang gave a suggestion: "If you don't become a regular wife, you can leave room for them, and they will feel at ease."

It was a mutual statement, Wubao gave the concubine daughter, and these people in the Han Dynasty accepted it, and gave each other goodwill, and then the two sides continued to live their own lives, and no one should expect the other to give more.

Seems to be a bit wrong?Ji Chang said: "More than half of the Wubao have requested for arms trading. My lord, the villain thinks that maybe I can give some sweetness."

There is nothing annoying about Liu Yan's response to those Wubao.The tyrants or big clans that survived would have been wiped out if they were not cautious enough. If you don’t bet, you don’t bet. Just don’t add trouble.He has always thought about living in peace and stability for four days and building a new town center, and he doesn't want to cause extra troubles.

In many cases, the more you want to be safe, the more things will backfire. Xiqian Bailiao and Su Lewan almost came to the resettlement place.

"My lord, news, great news!" Xiqian Bailiao's face was wrinkled and his face was almost shriveled into a shriveled ball: "Several counties in the surrounding area are being transferred, it seems something is not good!"

Su Lewan and I gave similar information, and it was also information about military mobilization in several surrounding counties.

The two finished talking one after another, but they didn't get the expected reaction. They thought that Liu Yan, including several heads of the Han Dynasty, would be surprised or flustered, but they didn't expect to see a calm treatment.
