After returning home, facing his two sons and one daughter, Li Min couldn't get enough of them.
This was the first time in his past life that he had his own flesh and blood.
Looking at these little guys, the kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water arises spontaneously.
It's a very wonderful and unique feeling.
But within a few days, Li Min started to get busy.
It turned out that Li Min robbed a total of 120,000 people from Xue Yantuo.
Some of them were moved to the Anxi Protectorate.
Some of them were moved to Lingnan, leaving another 50,000 people in Jiannan Road.
However, whether intentionally or not, these 50,000 people are all herdsmen.
Surprisingly, no one is a Xue Yantuo soldier.
It seems that his father is still not worried about him.
Not long after, Shangguan Yi came to visit and discussed with Li Min the resettlement plan for the Xue Yantuo herdsmen.
After pondering for a while, Li Min couldn't help but said: "I plan to resettle all 50,000 herdsmen in Tuyuhun."
After hearing Li Min's words, Shangguan Yi was confused at first, but soon took a deep look at the King of Shu.
In the past few years, the development of Yizhou New Town has fallen into a bottleneck.
Now Yizhou New City has become the largest city in the entire Datang Dynasty.
It has developed to a peak, and the entire Jiannan Road has also been in a state of rapid development in the past few years.
However, the development speed of Jiannan Road has now begun to gradually slow down.
Now Li Min's main development direction has begun to target Tuyuhun.
Since being attacked in turn by Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun's soldiers have been basically wiped out.
These soldiers are all young and strong from Tuyuhun.
Without young people, many women in Tuyuhun would have no one to marry.
This has also seriously affected the population development of Tuyuhun.
At this moment, it was Li Min who took the initiative to lend a helping hand.
Promulgated the policy of intermarriage between Jiannan Dao and Tuyuhun.
Women from Tuyuhun could marry into the Tang Dynasty, and men from the Tang Dynasty could also marry into Tuyuhun.
With the promulgation of this decree, few men from the Tang Dynasty actually came to settle in Tuyuhun.
More often than not, women from Tuyuhun married into the Tang Dynasty.
Because the development of Jiannan Road is so advanced, compared with Tuyuhun, it is simply in the sky and on the earth.
The women from Tuyuhun dreamed of marrying into the Tang Dynasty.
Not only that, Jiannan Road is now completely open to Tuyuhun.
Although we are two countries, men from Tuyuhun can enter Datang directly without a visa and only need to do some simple registration.
They can work anywhere in Jiannan Road.
And as long as you save enough money, you can buy a house in Datang, and you can also become a citizen of Datang.
Jiannan Road is so prosperous now. Even if they stay in Tuyuhun, they have a lot of pasture land and land.
But their life is still very difficult, but when they come to Datang, as long as they work hard, they can quickly accumulate a fortune.
Furthermore, what they want more is for their descendants to stay in the Tang Dynasty instead of continuing to stay in Tuyuhun.
This is the despicable behavior of those with great power.
A big country with strong national power attracts countless small countries around it to defect to it.
In recent years, Tuyuhun has experienced a massive population loss.
Almost one-third of the population of Tuyuhun has poured into Jiannan Road.
Now, this number is increasing every year.
But Fushun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, dared to get angry but dared not speak out when faced with this situation.
On the surface, Tuyuhun is now a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, it has almost become the back garden of the King of Shu.
First, Tuyuhun suffered a massive loss of population, and now there are only a pitiful number of citizens.
Then there is the fact that Tuyuhun did not have his own army.
The army of the Tang Dynasty was stationed in Tuyuhun to help Tuyuhun resist the Tibetans. Now even the public security of Tuyuhun has been taken over by them.
At the beginning, he invited all these Tang armies.
But it’s easy to ask God but hard to send him away. Now I can’t even send him away even if I want to.
The army of the Tang Dynasty was highly disciplined.
They also often helped the people of Tuyuhun. In terms of public security, Tang Jun set up a special police department.
Security patrols on the streets were taken over by Datang police.
As long as someone commits a crime, the Tang police don't care whether you are a noble of Tyuhun or the royal family.
Anyone who commits a crime will be arrested and dealt with according to the law.
Nowadays, the people of Tuyuhun have a far greater favorable impression of the Tang Dynasty than they have of the royal family of Tuyuhun.
In fact, many people of the new generation only know about the Tang Dynasty but not about the royal family.
Now, Fushun Khan has been completely ignored.
According to the current situation in Tuyuhun, the prince is now planning to relocate all 50,000 Xueyantuo herdsmen to Tuyuhun, which can alleviate the pressure of Tuyuhun's sparse population to a certain extent.
Moreover, as long as all these Xueyantuo herdsmen are bought over.
The prince will be able to further strengthen his control over Tuyuhun.
By then, Tuyuhun will really have the surname King Shu.
Therefore, when Shangguan Yi heard Li Min's arrangement, she immediately understood what he was thinking.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, where would it be better for us to arrange it?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "I am going to arrange these 50,000 Xueyantuo herdsmen in five sparsely populated areas. We will build them houses, give them farm tools, and give them land and food."
"As long as they are willing to work hard, it will not only ensure that they have enough food and clothing, but also make a fortune without any problem. We must make them feel that life here is more promising than herding cattle."
Hearing Li Min's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but nodded and said: "Your Highness, I understand. I will do this right away."
…
These five places were all chosen in the vast and sparsely populated areas of Tuyuhun.
Ten thousand people may sound like a lot, but it's actually only two to three hundred families.
In other words, building two to three hundred houses is actually not a very complicated matter.
After several years of development, several well-known construction teams have been established throughout Jiannan Road.
Its scale is actually equivalent to some small construction companies in later generations.
These construction companies contract all these projects.
Next, Li Min directly divided the 50,000 Tuyuhun herdsmen into these five areas and asked them to participate in the construction together.
Soon, five groups of Xueyantuo herdsmen were sent to the areas where they would settle down.
At this time, a shed area has been set up here, containing simple daily necessities.
Not far from the shed area, a large area has been planned.
Came to a strange place and lived in a strange shantytown.
These Xueyantuo herdsmen are full of fear of everything.
They cannot see the future and feel sad and despairing.
And the day after they were settled, they were called together.
Then, someone held a loudspeaker and spoke to them.
"From today on, you will live in this place. You will have a house to live in, food to eat, and land to grow."
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you won't have to worry about food, clothing, or money. Do you see the place in front of you?"
"That area is where houses will be built for you. Once the houses are built, they will be your homes."
"At that time, every household will have matching farm tools, furniture and a certain amount of food. You will also be given land."
"Of course, all this is not given to you for free. The price of each house is fifteen thousand yuan. Of course, we also know that you have no money now."
"However, you can choose to borrow money from Datang Bank and repay it in ten years. The monthly repayment is about 200 yuan."
"But what about now? It's winter, so you can't plant crops. You can work on the construction site, and you'll be paid thirty cents a day, and you'll also have three meals to eat."
"Even a half-year-old child needs at least five dollars a day. So, as long as you are willing to work hard, these houses can be paid off in full easily."
"It's all up to you how you want to live your life."
The Xueyantuo herdsmen actually had contact with the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.
There are also some Xueyantuo herdsmen who can understand Chinese.
Of course, most people still don’t understand it.
But that doesn’t stop someone from translating for them.
And when they all learned about the promise given to them by Datang, their hearts were full of doubts and doubts.
Can what they say be true?
How could it be so good?
It’s not like they, Xue Yantuo, have never captured herdsmen from other tribes.
Even their relatives, and even some of them themselves, were captured by other tribes.
According to their understanding, the fate of the prisoners was extremely miserable.
Men have to do very heavy hard labor and will be tortured to death.
As for women, they will become a tool for the male master to vent at any time.
I usually have to do heavy work.
But what about now?
They were captured by the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to build houses for them?
Give them furniture and food?
Although a house costs money, isn’t this a matter of course?
Moreover, you can also pay in installments.
You only need to pay back two hundred dollars a month.
If a worker earns thirty dollars a day, wouldn't these two hundred dollars be very profitable?
They felt unreal when they thought that one person's daily salary was thirty yuan.
You know, the price of a piece of their sheepskin is not even this price!
Are wages in Datang actually so high?
Well, what they don't know is that after several years of development.
Wages in Jiannan Road have already been rising steadily.
A few years ago, ten cents a day was a high income.
Now the wages of ordinary workers have risen to fifty cents a day.
Those who are skilled and knowledgeable will only earn higher wages.
With a salary of thirty cents a day, it is actually impossible to hire anyone outside.
Of course, this is also because they are novices and strangers, so they give such a low price.
Unexpectedly, even such a low price shocked them.
On the second day, people from the construction team came to that area to build houses.
Two to three hundred houses will be built at the same time.
For them, it is definitely a big project.
Two to three hundred households, even if thousands of people come to build the building, it is not too much.
Of course, their entire construction team couldn't muster that many people.
But it doesn’t matter, aren’t there ready manpower here?
There were 10,000 Xueyantuo herdsmen at the scene!
Their wages are extremely cheap.
Adult labor costs only thirty cents a day.
For half-grown children, a few pennies is enough.
This time, the construction team only came with a hundred major workers.
For these major projects, lines were drawn first and the construction locations of twenty houses were planned in one go.
Next, people were selected from the Xueyantuo herdsmen who came to sign up for distribution.
They need to maintain each house, leaving at least four major workers on site.
Each house requires more than a dozen small workers.
They can build more than thirty houses at the same time.
When they started digging the foundation, transport trucks began to continuously transport red bricks, cement and sand here.
When the Xueyantuo herdsmen saw the convoy, they were all shocked beyond measure.
Although they had already taken the train when they arrived.
Only now did they realize that the development of Datang had completely exceeded their imagination.
At this time, car jacks had not yet been manufactured, and the car still needed to be unloaded manually.
And the large number of manpower around was put to use.
It is said that there are 10,000 Xueyantuo herdsmen, but in fact, apart from the old, weak, sick and disabled, the only people who can really work are only about 3,000.
There are also some half-year-old children who will be given a certain amount of wages if they see that they can do well.
…
During this period, apart from occasionally going to the construction site to watch, Li Min spent most of the remaining time at home with his wives.
Of course, the most important thing is to accompany a few little ones.
Although these little guys eat and sleep every day, and eat after sleeping.
But when he was awake, Li Min would tease them.
Now the children are all very familiar with their father.
When you see him, you will happily point your finger at him and babbling.
During this time, Li Min also purchased a large number of cribs, strollers, various small toys, etc. from the mall.
Seeing every little change in his child, Li Min felt particularly happy.
When spending time with his children, Li Min felt that he was growing up quietly.
Within a month, Li Min felt that the houses there should be almost completed, so Li Min decided to go to the site to have a look.
How are the herdsmen of Xueyantuo being resettled?
Li Min took Li Yuanfang and the escort team as personal guards.
We quickly arrived at the first resettlement area by car.
Because there were enough manpower, one hundred houses had been built in one month.
These houses are all of the same style.
There are four square rooms in a row with tiled roofs, and there are three side rooms on the east side.
To the west is the kitchen and toilet.
These houses are very beautifully built.
However, these houses are actually not enough to accommodate all 10,000 Xueyantuo herdsmen.
But now it's November, the weather is freezing, and there's no way to continue building a house.
We can only wait until next year to build it.
Fortunately, these Xueyantuo herdsmen all know each other, and if they squeeze, they can still get out of the way.
In this month, almost every family earned more than a thousand dollars in wages.
And they only need to pay two hundred cents per month. After ten years of payment, this house will be completely theirs.
It's so easy to make money. This house is really cheap.
Now, it has been several days since everyone moved into their new homes.
But they all seemed like dreams, with an unreal feeling.
Does such a beautiful house really belong to them from now on?
They were obviously prisoners, but not only were they not treated in any way, but they were able to live in such a beautiful house?
To them, it's really incredible.
Of course, there are still some discomforts.
For example, they have become accustomed to a life of eating meat every day.
But here, this is simply impossible.
I can't afford to eat meat every day.
They were forced to adapt to staple foods such as rice, steamed buns and noodles.
However, here, vegetables are eaten casually.
Unlike when they were in Xueyantuo, it was almost impossible to eat cabbage and radish.
But here, you can eat as much as you want, and it’s all very cheap.
More importantly, there are salt and tea leaves.
When they were in Xue Yantuo, these were all luxuries they couldn't afford.
But here, you can eat whatever you want.
Li Min came for an inspection and found that these Xue Yantuo herders basically had no complaints.
On the contrary, they feel quite satisfied with their current life.
After settling down, many adult herdsmen from Xueyantuo have begun to go to Yizhou New City to work.
Although they were all prisoners, Li Min had no intention of isolating them.
Even if they want to settle down in Datang, there will not be any restrictive policies.
Of course, they are now very poor and have not yet paid off the loan to buy a house.
The housing prices in Yizhou New City are rising steadily.
They want to settle in Datang, but it's really a long way to go.
Li Min also wanted to allow intermarriage between them and Tuyuhun, allowing them to mix.
As time goes by, everyone will become Chinese together, and there will be no distinction between Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun and Han people.
Li Min believed that in the hearts of these Xueyantuo herdsmen, they would only have themselves, and there would definitely not be the Tuyuhun royal family.
Now Tuyuhun is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and his father has a certain suspicion of him.
Of course, Li Min could not directly occupy Tuyuhun openly.
But through various means, Tuyuhun has gradually become his base.
With Tuyuhun as his backing, Li Min had the confidence to protect himself. He could rely on Jiannan Road and Tuyuhun to support his troops and consolidate himself.
Now, his father's suspicion of him is not obvious yet.
But Li Min believes that in a year or two at most, his father's suspicion of him will become more and more serious.
Because, according to the original historical trajectory, a lot of things will happen in the next year.
Therefore, he must make preparations this morning from now on.
…
November passed quickly, and the twelfth lunar month arrived in a blink of an eye.
A heavy snow fell from the sky, covering the world in silver, making it look extraordinarily pure and beautiful.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was so happy that she took Doudou and Panpan outside to play in the snow.
That's all. Since Shangguan Wan'er was born, it has almost become her exclusive mount.
Doudou, on the other hand, doesn't like playing with this girl.
Now Doudou is a father-level presence in the entire Yizhou New City.
Just walking around Yizhou New Town, people greeted him everywhere.
Around him, there will be a large group of bitches, all of them young and beautiful.
As for those who are old and lose their luster, they are simply too embarrassed to follow them.
Doudou, you will favor whomever you like.
As a result, now the entire Yizhou New City, no, even the entire Tang Dynasty.
Its descendants are everywhere.
With such a status, Doudou doesn't like playing with a little brat!
However, since one time, because it didn't play with the little brat, it even played tricks on her.
As a result, he was severely punished by his master.
From now on, Doudou didn't dare to act like a little brat anymore.
But since then, he has been avoiding her.
If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?
But today, I don't know if I went out without reading the almanac or something else, but I was blocked by this little girl.
"Doudou, come on, come on, let's play with dogs pulling a sledge today!"
Shangguan Wan'er, this little girl, likes to stick to Li Min's side the most.
Every time I come here, I like to let Li Min hold her and tell stories.
Naturally, she also heard about the method of dog pulling a sledge from Li Min.
Ever since she heard about this kind of gameplay, this girl was immediately attracted to it.
No, after finally waiting for it to snow, she was eager to play.
Actually, her Panpan mount and the panda pulling the sledge are the same.
But since a dog is pulling the sledge, the dog must be harnessed!
This girl is so smart. She even acted coquettishly and asked Li Min for a small sledge.
This sledge is like a small sofa, where you can sit or lie down.
It looks very comfortable at first glance.
Called by Shangguan Wan'er, Doudou was reluctantly put on the rope.
Then the little girl Shangguan Wan'er climbed onto the sledge, shouted, and Doudou started running slowly.
On the sledge, Doudou couldn't help but giggle.
This dog pulling the sledge is really fun.
Next to her, Wu Meiniang's eyes were bright when she saw this scene.
Suddenly he took Li Min's arm and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, I also want to play with a dog pulling a sledge! It's so fun!"
Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, if you want to play, let's have a good time today."
In the past few years since they got married, Li Min has spent a lot of time dealing with official duties and going out.
He has never been able to spend time with his wives, and Li Min has always felt that he owed them.
Given the opportunity this time, Li Min will naturally find a way to compensate them.
Soon, Li Min purchased several luxury sledges from the mall.
As for dogs, there was absolutely no shortage in Yizhou New City, and people were quickly ordered to find dozens of dogs.
Next, they went out of the city, came outside the city, harnessed the dogs, and started riding the dog-pulled sledge.
This game is really fun.
Of course, these dogs have never pulled a sledge or done this kind of work.
When I first started, I was running around everywhere.
But with the guards around, I'm not afraid of any danger.
This kind of gameplay actually made several ladies very happy.
Several ladies were sitting on sledges and running in the snow.
Almost everyone has a happy smile on their face.
Their silver bell-like laughter was also left in the snow.
