Yun Chu returned the four golden Buddhas presented to him by Guo Daifeng.
When Guo Daifeng saw the Golden Buddha, he felt such a strong sense of powerlessness that he bit his lip and blood trickled down. When he opened his hands to face the sea and shouted filial piety, the palms of his two palms held a bubble that had solidified.
of blood.
He led the army to find the money. When the soldiers saw the golden Buddha statue and the heavy copper tower, they cheered, they jumped, and they praised their general's wisdom.
Now, there is nothing left. The copper pagoda was dismantled and put into the big boat brought by Liu Rengui. The golden Buddha was also wrapped in thick linen by the craftsmen and put into the huge boat.
Watching the giant boat go away, Guo Daifeng fell weakly on the soft beach. For the first time, he realized that he seemed to be a worthless person.
Naturally, Yun Chu did not have such regrets as Guo Daifeng.
He is determining the scope of authority of his position as the Marching Commander of Wuxingdao. As the name suggests, Wuxingdao, which is the area under the jurisdiction of Wugu City and the jurisdiction of Daxing City, is all under his jurisdiction.
The March Commander means that not only can he have jurisdiction over the people here, but all the troops here are also under his jurisdiction.
Liaodong Road is sparsely populated, and the two cities of Wugu City and Bogou City have long been looted by the Tang army. If the government ignores them, they will freeze to death and starve to death here.
Severe winter.
Gawain is from the royal family of Gaozang.
And the emperor Gozang is now being raised like a pig in Pyongyang by Yeon Gaesumun. This is why people like Gonzang did not have any psychological burden when they betrayed Goguryeo.
Of course, Yun Chu also used this aspect to persuade Gao Wen, and a new universal value slowly took shape in Goguryeo.
——We are not betraying Goguryeo, we just want to kill the traitor Yeon Gaesumun and rescue King Gojang.
Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Zhong Kui naturally ignored the subtle changes in the psychology of these Goguryeo people. They just wanted to save people now, and save these people who would become the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In this era, the main focus was on killing people in the early stages of the war. When the outcome of the war was obvious, or when the dust had settled, the victorious side must save the people.
Kill them all?
This is impossible, and a land without people is of no value to the victor.
The national policy of the Tang Dynasty was to migrate the people of Goguryeo to fill the gap.
The earlier killings were to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Goguryeo people, and now the rescue of the Goguryeo people is also to disintegrate their fighting spirit and dispel the deep hatred in their hearts.
It means to use the people of Goguryeo to enrich the prefectures and counties with insufficient native population in the Tang Dynasty.
Although hatred is difficult to resolve, as a government official, it is the focus of hatred in many people's hearts.
Therefore, I don't care much. As long as you pay your taxes on time and don't show your hatred on the surface, I will treat you as a citizen under my rule.
Wugu City has been demolished into a piece of flat ground, as has Bogou City. At this time, on the two city walls, there are only some Goguryeo people wandering around the ruins like ghosts, hoping to find something to keep out the cold and some food.
of.
At this time, Gawain came with food and shabby clothes...
He was still dressed like a Goguryeo official. After he arrived, he didn't talk much. When he saw a hungry person, he would give some food. When he saw a person who was about to freeze to death, he would light a fire and put on tattered clothes.
.
Slowly, the wandering Goguryeo people followed him like a flock of sheep meeting its leader.
Gawain wandered around Wugu City and Bogou City for seventeen days. When he found that there were no more refugees in the wild, he took them back to Dahang City.
At this time, there were many vacant houses in Dahang City, and most of these vacant houses were luxury houses.
The original owners of the mansion were a group of despicable people. After the fall of Dahang City, they immediately begged Lord Gao Wen, who was forced to become an official of the Tang Dynasty, to send them away.
They took their beautiful wives and concubines and ran away with all their wealth, leaving only a group of moneyless people in Dahang City being squeezed and bullied by the Tang people.
Lord Gawain is planning to let these victims live in those beautiful houses, but this is not possible!
That's right, when Gawain worked hard to gather the refugees and move them into those mansions, he encountered obstacles from the native people of Dahang City.
According to their simple mentality, those rich people have all run away, and the houses left behind should belong to them. As for the refugees, they can just build a few shacks at will, and there is no need to live in good houses.
Fueled by gentleness but not at all, and under Gawain's dilemma and indecision, the conflict between the refugees and the aborigines intensified.
It wasn't until a large fight broke out and hundreds of people were killed and injured that the Tang army appeared and stopped the fight with sticks. Just when everyone thought the Tang people were going to start killing people.
However, the young Tang Dynasty official found the main figures of the two parties in the fight, beat them with sticks, and asked them to continue to discuss a feasible plan within the scope given by the Tang Dynasty.
First, refugees must have a house to live in.
Second, the interests of the indigenous people must be taken into consideration and reflected.
When the refugees and the aboriginal leaders still refused to give in to each other, dragging their bloody buttocks, Gawain stood up.
He allowed the aborigines to live in the former wealthy people's mansions, but divided the big house into several small houses.
The houses of the aborigines who moved into the mansions must be given over to the refugees.
In the absence of a unified opinion, Gawain's final decision undoubtedly became the only feasible way to solve the problem.
As a result, Dahang City, which originally had only 23,000 people, became a large Liaodong city with a population of 50,000 in a short period of time.
With a place to live, the next step is to solve the problem of food for these people.
Even Gao Wen did not expect that the young General Dingyuan would actually launch a vigorous government operation of providing work-for-relief in Dahang City.
As long as those who have no food in the city are willing to go to the port to build port facilities, build warehousing and other work, the Tang people will provide them with food. Although it is not much, there is still no problem in feeding one person.
The aborigines in the city were very busy because the Tang Dynasty gave them a lot of orders for military products. With no other choice, they slowly began to hire the refugees to work for them...
The prototype of a stable triangular society in Dahangcheng has been formed. This triangle with the refugees as the foundation, the aboriginal people as the middle, and the Tang people as the peak, from the current point of view, has become stable.
The original irresolvable conflict between the refugees at the bottom and the Tang people has now evolved into a conflict between the refugees at the bottom and the aborigines. The conflict between the aborigines and the Tang people has also undergone gratifying changes.
We Tang people will transform from the status of occupiers and massacres to the status of mediators and just persons.
The next thing to do is to let the refugees have feelings for this city, and in the case of foreign enemies, they can work together with the aborigines and Tang people to communicate with the outside world. In this way, the naturalization work of this city will be
Finish.
"I believe this day will definitely come, it just takes a certain amount of time."
After listening to Wen Wen's narration, Yun Chu looked at Zhong Kui and asked, "How is my port doing?"
Zhong Kui said: "The installation of storage and long-arm lifting facilities on land is already in progress. The four planned docks are also being reclaimed. Because it is winter and there is ice in the shallow sea, the construction progress is not very good.
However, after spring, I believe there will be a good result."
After listening to Zhong Kui's narration, Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai and Wang Defa and said: "Control the soldiers and tell them that the benefits we should get have exceeded the quota. Now that our goal has been achieved, we hope that under our control of the big bank
During this period of time in the city, we must abide by the rules and treat Daxing City as the capital of our Datang City. In fact, it is now the state capital of our Datang City. Can you do this?"
Wang Defa said with a smile: "Didn't the general give out two rewards? Brothers have money in their hands, so naturally they won't mess around. There is no need to risk being hit by a military stick when something can be solved with just two dollars."
The five people here all know what Wang Defa is talking about, but this is not a big deal in the military.
As long as it's what you and I want, that's fine.
Among the five people, four were in a good mood, but Zhang Donghai was the only one who said nothing.
Yun Chu said: "Does Lieutenant Zhang have anything to say?"
Zhang Donghai sniffed and said, "These are not my strengths."
Wang Defa proudly slapped Zhang Donghai on the shoulder and said: "I don't understand either, but as long as we brothers believe in the general, we will definitely be able to return to the court with a full load."
Zhang Donghai looked at Wang Defa who was smiling like a fool and had no choice but to nod with difficulty.
Yun Chu said: "Dahang City will be run for a long time in the future. I have prepared a lot of properties for everyone here. If there are trustworthy people in the family, write a letter quickly and ask them to follow the navy to take over."
Zhang Donghai shivered and said, "General, do we want to run this place for a long time?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: That depends on the will of the imperial court. If the imperial court is really prepared to run the four counties of Liaodong, then Dahang City will become a gold treasure land, and all the output of Liaodong, whether it is gold or animal skins,
,
Or ginseng, herbal medicine. If you want to enter Chang'an, Dahang City is the best place.
Not to mention that there are 380,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty here waiting for supplies. Even if they do nothing and collect a little tax from these Goguryeo people, they can still make enough money.
Moreover, you can rest assured that this is without harming the interests of Datang. During this period, there are still many things that are beneficial to Datang.
If the imperial court allows it, a shipping department can be established here. If the people who come later are not so greedy, the annual income here should exceed that of many states and counties. It can also support Yingzhou nearby and monitor Yingzhou. If something happens to Yingzhou,
Whether it is using Dahang City as a base for attack or as a route for retreat, it is excellent.
