Chapter 1084

After the discussion with the public, Huangfu Chaobo left Meng Yi to deal with the upgrading of each territory with him, and the rest of them were busy.

Under the leadership of Hao Jian, several people came to the management jade Department of the administrative Museum, took out the already prepared upgrade drawings of the small town, and Huangfu Chaobo immediately opened the upgrade button. In a moment, the familiar halo appeared in front of Huangfu Chaobo again, quickly protecting the big, and then the whole administrative museum was surrounded. A moment later, Huangfu Chaobo's ear sounded the system prompt sound "Congratulations to the players, upgrade the underground town to a small town!"

As for the name of the city, Huangfu Chaobo did not change it any more and was ordered to be Xiabancheng. After upgrading, the county magistrate has not been appointed yet. Huangfu Chaobo calls Hao Jian, who is currently in charge of Xiaban, to him. After giving him the city's affairs, he leaves Xiaban the next day and goes to the next destination.

Today's five territories in Longhua area, except that Longhua is a county town, are all big towns. All kinds of materials are ready. We can only wait for Huangfu Chaobo to upgrade.

In the next few days, Huangfu Chaobo spent ten days to upgrade all the four towns into small towns. As for the appointment of officials, because the officials supported by Qingzhou and Huangfu Chaobo had not arrived yet, they could only be responsible for the electricity temporarily.

Although preparations have been made all the time, it is not sure where the county city will be, so all preparations are made in Longhua, including the huge amount of materials needed to upgrade the county city are all stored in Longhua. Fortunately, after the discussion, Ma Xuan had rushed back to Longhua for early preparation, and began to transport some materials to Chengde.

In addition to material handling, some workshops have to be moved. Since Chengde city is already a county city, many workshops will no longer have to be crowded in the small city of Longhua, especially large military workshops such as weapons workshop. If they are moved to a big city such as county city, the safety factor will be higher.

Another point is that Chengde is located in the middle of each city. In the north of Chengde, there are Longhua and one city and one town to be built further north. In the East, there are Xiabancheng and gongsunzan's territories. In the west, there are Shuangluan city and Luanping city. It can be said that the location should be the best.

However, on the other hand, there are not many ways to connect Chengde with the outside world. There are only two ways to connect Chengde with the outside world from the north, the West and the southeast, especially with Youzhou in the south. One way is to enter Rushui along Luan River and reach Youzhou in the West of Liaoning. The other road is along Xiabancheng to the east to Pingcheng under Gongsun zanzhi. Then it turns south, passes Kuancheng, and enters western Liaoning from Lulong fortress.

In fact, there is another way to go, that is, the original road from Longhua to junmi. The road starts from Longhua, continues to live ten miles west of Shuangluan, turns south from a valley, and then goes all the way south to junmi city. Then it enters the Great Wall from the Great Wall Pass in the south of junmi city and enters youbeiping. However, this road is more complicated and difficult to follow. Comparatively speaking, people are willing to go to the East, which is easier to take though the road is longer.

This is also the reason why when Xianbei people entered Youzhou, they took Lulong fortress as their main attack and Longhua and junmi as their secondary direction. It's OK to take the front line of Longhua junmi, ordinary caravans and small-scale soldiers. If tens of thousands of soldiers, it's more difficult to pass. Of course, it's not that they can't go. It's just that the speed is much slower, especially for large-scale soldiers The army passed.

If the Central Plains army passes through, the cart will be very slow. If the foreign army passes through, it will be very difficult for the cattle and sheep to walk all over the mountains.

After making arrangements for Chengde and handing over the preparation for upgrading to Meng Yi, Huangfu Chaobo once again led the army north to Longhua. There, Ma Xuan was ready for the construction of the northernmost town of Huangfu Chaobo.

Now it's the end of July. Huangfu Chaobo will stay there until the end of September. After the northernmost territory is upgraded to a small city, he will return to Chengde. By that time, the upgrading of the county city has reached the requirements. Huangfu Chaobo will return to the Central Plains after dealing with the upgrading of the county city.

A few days later, Huangfu Chaobo and his party arrived at tangtougou town in the east of Longhua, a small town originally built to appease the players, but now it is not as lively as it was. Because Chifeng, which gongsunzan occupied, is closer to the grassland, and there are four or five players' counties, so many players, especially casual players, have moved there instead On the grassland.

Outside the South Gate of tangtougou Town, Ma Xuan leads the people there waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Chaobo. Seeing the arrival of his troops, Ma Xuan quickly leads the people up.

"Meng Chang worked hard. What's the situation now?"

"Report back to my Lord, two thousand soldiers and five thousand craftsmen are all ready. When my Lord comes, he may lead them northward. When they reach their destination, they can start to build a new territory."

"When did huyanda and his party leave?"

"After returning to Longhua, the Huyan captain took a day's rest and left Longhua with 1000 cavalry and nearly 2000 horse trainers and horse raisers, heading north to Chifeng. According to the itinerary, we should have arrived at Chifeng and started to catch horses. "Today's huyanda is no longer the hairy boy of that year. Now he has been promoted to the post of school captain, and his subordinates are also in charge of thousands of people. Today, he is in charge of all the people who train horses in Longhua area. In addition to nearly 100 trainers, there are also nearly 1000 masters who catch horses and train horses, and thousands of people who specially raise horses. This time, in addition to more than ten senior trainers, he also brought almost all the horse catchers and hundreds of horse keepers.

Today, horse training in Longhua has become one of the most important sources of funds for the Tang army. In addition to providing war horses for their families, hundreds of horses at all levels are sold to Youzhou and Jiangdong to exchange money and various raw materials for the Tang army.

Taking this opportunity to set up Yanbei County, Huangfu Chaobo plans to move all the other industries of Longhua, leaving only the project of domesticating horses here. This is also because Longhua is isolated from the outside world by tangtougou pass and hutougou pass, which is almost a closed place.

After Ma Xuan finished his speech, Huangfu Chaobo nodded. Then he left tangtougou town and headed for tangtougouguan in the West. It's been several years since he left Longhua. Anyway, it's afternoon today. It's better to have a night's rest in Longhua and start again tomorrow morning.
