Chapter 52

The resettlement area is not suitable for building a city. Liu Yan chose it at first because it can guard the valley, not how good the terrain is.

The construction of the city requires detailed exploration. Generally, there must be sufficient water source. Obviously, there is not enough water source beside the resettlement site. Besides, it's too close to the coastline. It's really not suitable for building a city. When will there be a typhoon or hurricane? Can the house stand it?

It's not nonsense. The ancients built a city with two elements: the so-called mountain and water, water first, and the mountain is to obtain firewood. You know, there was no tap water in ancient times, and burning fire basically depended on wood. Water may depend on drilling wells. What about firewood?

In short, do you know how much dry firewood Tian Shuo has prepared to spend this rainy season? There are nearly 500 firewood houses filled with firewood! Before the rainy season, he even ordered people to prepare food that could be eaten cold. He was afraid that the wood in the rainy season was wet and could not make a fire.

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

Yes, Liu Yan is waiting. When he has a firm foothold, then the system farmers are enough. Either he doesn't build it, he definitely wants to build a male city!

"Huh?" Liu Yan was going back to have a rest. He was blocked by tuobaxiu on the way: "what are you... Doing?"

Speaking of it, Tuoba Xiu has been very calm recently. Now she appears again. Look at her serious face. It seems that she has something to say.

"I promised you." Tuobaxiu's body is actually wet. Fortunately, he wears sheepskin. Otherwise, his clothes should be wet and stick to his body. But then again, what's good about a body with a thick waist and a big ass? She looked at Liu Yan and said, "release two people."

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

Trading with Tuoba Xianbei is a strategy in Liu Yan's reservation. Tuoba Xianbei is not strong, or even slightly weak (he thinks), so during the period of mutual trading, Liu Yan can obtain stable cattle, horses and sheep, and Tuoba Xianbei can obtain weapons and salt.

It is conceivable that with enough weapons, can Tuoba Xianbei resist expansion? Salt is also a scarce thing for grassland tribes. It should be said that there are few places where salt is produced. With these two things, it can be predicted that Tuoba Xianbei will certainly grow. After that, can Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei live in peace?

Liu Yan simply agreed, and then raised his feet to go.

"Wait!" Tuobaxiu still 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 raised his feet and left, leaving a figure of Weian.

The rainy season seemed to be longer than in previous years. It rained intermittently for 13 days. When the weather cleared up, the resettlement site immediately returned to normal.

"More than 300 newlyweds?" Liu Yanzheng is excited to wait for the last four days. Recently, he doesn't care much about things, resulting in some things that haven't been handled in time. He remembered that there was a group wedding. It was rare to take out some meat: "nothing happened to the newly married family?"

It's a little groundless. In ancient times, marriage was from strange to familiar. If you haven't experienced any love, you have to jump to the family relationship between husband and wife. Such a marriage, coupled with the relationship between customs, is also making do with unhappiness, and there are few quarrels because they don't agree. It is precisely because there is less noise that it will be specially recorded. If there is more, there is no need to record. Who will record a person's three normal meals a day? (well, "I'll live another 500 years" of "my Qing Dynasty" will.)

Tian Shuo came to report the digging of ditches.

The rainy season has just passed. The soil is soft, but it is also easy to cause ponding. It is obviously not suitable for digging ditches.

"Then continue cutting wood." Liu Yan remembered that he wanted to make the land mu, and said, "set aside a group of people to take care of the land. It is said that there will be a rainy season in the next month. In a hurry to clear the land and plant beans, the autumn harvest will be more or less increased."

In fact, Tian Shuo thought so. He immediately "promised" and then mentioned something else.

Related to the surrounding fortresses, almost all fortresses have the same action, that is, after contacting the Han Dynasty, each fortress proposed marriage.

Instead of marrying Liu Yan, those powerful or big families may want to, but first, they are worried about Liu Yan's identity, and second, they don't want to invest so much. What they want is to marry some of Liu Yan's important subordinates. They are not married directly, but from concubines.

"See what you mean. If you think it's appropriate, accept it." What Liu Yan said is Na, which means that he is not his wife: "three wives and four concubines, whatever you want."

Therefore, Liu Yan is a person who passes through. Not everyone is capable of three wives and four concubines. If his status is not to a certain extent, he is not qualified for three wives and four concubines. Only princes and kings can get treatment. An ordinary person is a regular wife. He can't have a concubine. He can only be a maid or a housekeeper (sleeping with him).

Therefore, Tian Shuo was stunned when he heard it, and then showed his incomparable desire. He understood it this way and thought that Liu Yan promised them a position as a vassal. He was so excited that his brain was almost congested. Then, he seemed to have found his goal in life. He wanted to rush over and hold Liu Yan's thigh. He could only try his best to hold it back. He didn't curse and swear in his heart. He must be devastated for Liu Yan.

Those guys in the fortress are really hard to deal with. Before the situation is uncertain, it is appropriate to send out a concubine. It is not only related to the Han Dynasty, but also can give up at any time. After all, a concubine is the daughter of an illegitimate wife. She has no status in the family. family affection? What is family affection for the survival, rise and fall of a family?

Originally, those people, including Tian Shuo, did not intend to accept it, but Ji Chang gave different opinions.

"Take it." Ji Chang gave a suggestion: "if you don't act as a positive wife, you can leave room and calm their hearts."

It's a mutual statement. The fortress gave it to the concubines. These people in the Han Dynasty accepted it and gave it to each other in good faith. Then both sides continue to live their own lives. No one can expect anyone to pay more.

Seems to be a little wrong? Ji Chang said, "more than half of the fortresses have asked for weapons trading. Sir, the villain thinks that maybe he can give some sweets."

Liu Yan's response to those fortresses has nothing to be angry about. If you are not careful enough, the strong and powerful or big families that can survive will be destroyed long ago. If you don't bet, you won't bet. It's good if you don't add chaos. He always wanted to live safely for four days and build a new town center. He didn't want to cause more trouble himself.

Many times, the more I want to be safe, the more things backfire. After Xi Qianbai Liao and Su Le, I almost came to the resettlement site with my front and rear feet.

"Lord, news, big news!" Xi Qianbai Liao wrinkled his face into a shriveled ball: "several counties around are mobilizing, which seems a little bad!"

After su Le, I gave similar information, which was also the information of military mobilization in several surrounding counties.

The two said it one after another, but they didn't get the expected response. They thought Liu Yan, including several Han leaders, would be surprised or flustered. What they didn't want to see was a calm treatment.
