Valley Emperor

After enjoying some beautiful wine and pinching his shoulders, Li Xuancai put on a thick padded jacket and walked out with a reluctant expression.

As a 'Sacred Monarch through the ages' in Liu Bagou's mouth, Li Xuan naturally cannot be lazy. Today, he has a special itinerary, which is to visit the prisoners from Jiguan Mountain who were escorted back a while ago.

No, it can no longer be said that they are prisoners, and now they are the citizens of the Tang Dynasty.

Due to the fact that these people arrived for the first time, and the temperature dropped sharply in the past few days, Li Xuan was also a little worried that people would freeze to death, so he frequently asked them about their situation in the past two days.

It didn't take long for him, accompanied by Liu Bagou and others, to a row of simple wooden houses at the foot of Huangzhu Mountain.

Speaking of these simple wooden houses, they were temporary wooden houses built when they first evacuated to Huangzhu Mountain in the summer. After they settled down, the people in Huangzhushan successively built solid civil houses and moved in, so these simple wooden houses were empty. came out.

The last time someone lived there, when Shuilongzhai was just recovered, the people of Shuilongzhai temporarily lived in these simple wooden houses until they moved out after their own houses were built.

The Ming army prisoners were originally planned to be placed here, but at that time, for the convenience of management, they were concentrated in the prison camp changed to the cowshed. During this time, as the weather cooled, Bai Yunqi had already let those Ming army prisoners. Reinforced and thickened by myself, today's prison camp is no longer simple, but more like a barracks.

After being vacant for a few months, these humble wooden houses finally welcomed their new owners: everyone in Jiguanshan.

When Li Xuan arrived with people, everyone was busy, whether it was elderly people, women, or even children, everyone was busy.

They are expanding and strengthening these rudimentary houses, otherwise these rudimentary houses will not be able to allow them to survive this winter.

On the other side, more people are building new wooden houses, and these new wooden houses are prepared for the new prisoners in Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain.

Yesterday, the latest batch of messengers returned to Huangzhu Mountain and brought back the latest information from Fang Dongquan and the others, saying that they had defeated the coalition forces of Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain, and are now heading to Heihu Village.

Due to the inconvenience of communication, it takes time for the messenger to go back and forth, so the news that Huang Zhushan knows will be delayed for several days.

Today, Li Xuan and the others don't know that the people in the Black Tiger Village who escaped have been stopped, and they have all surrendered when there is no hope of escaping.

But even if they don't know the follow-up news, Li Xuan and Liu Bagou both feel that since Fang Dongquan and the others have defeated the coalition forces of Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain, it is unlikely that anything will happen to take the Black Tiger Village and Huanggui Mountain in the future. problem.

Therefore, it can be expected that Fang Dongquan and the others will be able to return to Huangzhu Mountain with a large number of prisoners in a short time.

And these captives are valuable resources of the Tang Dynasty, and they can't let them freeze to death in winter.

Therefore, Liu Bagou and the others had already mobilized everyone in Huangzhu Mountain to start building houses two days ago. It is impossible for these temporary houses to be good, but at least they can give the prisoners a place to stay. land.

Looking at hundreds of people working together, there are not many young people, most of them are old and weak, women and children, watching them sweating in the winter, Li Xuan can't help but sigh, his Tang Dynasty is also Not without merit.

At least there were no commoners in the Tang Dynasty!

Because all the people in the Tang Dynasty were bandits and their families, to a certain extent, these old and weak women and children in front of them were also members of bandits.

Therefore, when doing some collective projects, there is no need to talk nonsense at all. After a word of command, everyone will be dispatched.

This is the case with the land reclamation that has been going on for a long time before, and the same is true with the construction of houses now.

This situation made Li Xuan inexplicably sound the 'big battle' of later generations. The scene in front of him is completely the Big Tang version of the big battle!

"Now there are so many of us building wooden houses together, and these wooden houses are very simple and fast to build. It is estimated that in a few days, enough houses to settle down in Heihu Village and Huanggui Mountain will be repaired!" Liu Bagou pointed. Some of the newly built wooden houses in front said: "Although these houses are a little short, it should be no problem to let them live for ten days and a half months!"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Although the house is ready, don't leave other things behind. We want to let those people know that it is beneficial to surrender to us, and there is no need to starve and freeze!"

Liu Bagou said solemnly at this time, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already started making relevant preparations when General Fang and the others just set out for the expedition, and we will never delay things!"

Hearing Liu Bagou say this, Li Xuan also felt relieved. Although this Liu Bagou sometimes looks like a fool for reading, he is still very good at handling these chores and mundane affairs.

In the past half a year, he was able to take Huang Wenhua and Qian Mengjiu along with Huang Wenhua and Qian Mengjiu to handle the many civil affairs affairs in Huangzhu Mountain, whether it was a major event such as land reclamation and farming or other trivial matters.

This time, Li Xuan believed that Liu Bagou would not screw up either.

In fact, Liu Bagou was the one who paid the most attention to the captives of Jiguanshan, Huangguishan and Heihuzhai. He even paid more attention to these captives than Li Xuan.

Unlike Fang Dongquan and the others who only knew wars and cared more about the victory of wars, Liu Bagou cared more about the growth of the population under the Tang Dynasty. Before Fang Dongquan and the others set off, Liu Bagou repeatedly asked him to bring as many as possible with him. When the captives come back, don't kill them too hard.

Liu Bagou was pushing hard for this matter, and the relevant preparations and arrangements had already been made, just waiting for Fang Dongquan and the others to return with the captives.

And Fang Dongquan and the others did not disappoint Liu Bagou. Three days later, another messenger returned to Huangzhu Mountain and reported the latest progress.

The messenger said that the army has successfully captured all the people of Heihu Village, including their families, and the old and weak women and children of Heihu Village are already being escorted back to Huangzhu Mountain.

However, just like the previous attack on Jiguan Mountain, the nearly 100 young men from the Black Tiger Village were not escorted back.

Hearing that Fang Dongquan and the others had once again intercepted the young men, Li Xuan was not angry anymore, because he also wanted to understand that he couldn't get those young men back anyway. If he was angry with them, he might as well let them Bai Yunqi trained the rear army well, and he also trained the guard army well.

However, although Li Xuan is no longer angry, it does not mean that he has no action. He immediately wrote an imperial decree, and made Cai Erhu, who had just surrendered, as the general of Zhenxi, and ruled the Zhenxi Army. Choose to use.
