Chapter 358 Chu Qiao
It has been three months since he came back from Nanliang. Li Yunfei has been very busy these few months, because the territory has expanded too much, especially in the past month or so. Appearing in front of you is simply within your reach, so some have no choice but to continue to expand their territories.
The vassal king who controlled Jingzhou was wiped out by a group of mobs. Although that group of mobs were rebels, they were not merciful to ordinary people at all. They burned, killed and looted, and messed up the good land of Jingzhou. Therefore, Li Yunfei They had to continue to send troops to wipe out the mob and occupy the land of Jingzhou. Those who took the lead in committing crimes and harming countless people were all executed, and some accomplices were also sentenced to several years of labor reform.
It is said that Li Yunfei led the troops to fight this time, which was also requested by Xiao Qiao, but she cooperated on the sidelines. It is said that this time there were fewer troops, only 3,000 cavalry were dispatched, and it was indeed easy to win the land of Jingzhou. It means that almost all the cities are being taken without bloodshed, even if occasionally some people want to resist but are tied up by their subordinates and directly donate the city.
After returning from the land of Jingzhou, many ethnic minorities from Yunnan, Guizhou and Dali took the initiative to join the Dahua Dynasty, which caused the territory to expand again and again. In less than a year, the territory has expanded from Jincheng (Lanzhou) in the north, to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the south, from under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, to the east of Jingzhou in the east.
...
The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and it coincides with the market day on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Tianshui City is extremely lively. As the land of Longxing, this Tianshui is of course the best developed. Although Li Yunfei has only been in charge of this Tianshui City for less than a year, However, it brought earth-shaking changes to the city.
Those domineering princes and young masters are all gone, those officials and lords who are fish and meat are also gone, the rampant hooligans are completely extinct, and even the beggars on the street are gone, because there are refugee shelters in the west of the city, and they can’t eat. If you have a meal, go there to report, as long as you do what you can, you can eat and wear warm, and even get a lot of wages. Even if you are disabled, you can always have some suitable jobs to do. (It is impossible for people without any labor force to grow up in this troubled world.)
In refugee shelters, only those children who have lost their loved ones can eat for free. If you are a young and strong person, it is impossible to eat for nothing. I don’t know how to beat and scold, but I will be locked in a dark room. If you want to be lazy, you will be lazy enough. When you stay alone in a small dark room, you can sleep every day and someone will bring you food. But no one can bear it for three days, and they will automatically ask for it, and then find something to do within their ability.
Now the main streets in Tianshui City have been paved with cement roads. It is said that after Li Yunfei got out the cement, he said that he wanted to pave the roads, and he was almost complained by Xiao Qiao to death. How can this material be used in the military first? How can it be used in the streets? In fact, this is simply a waste of people's energy. However, after the cement road was paved, it was discovered that it could also play a role in uniting the hearts of the people. Although it was a face project, people still used it in ancient times.
The streets are so clean that you can lie down and sleep directly. Some farmers from the countryside will even take the initiative to put on a new pair of cloth shoes every time they go to the city to buy or sell. This is not a mandatory requirement from the officials, but these peasants feel that the street is too clean, so they are embarrassed to go in directly. If they walk in step by step, other people will cast contemptuous glances on them. no.
In the current Dahua control area, all walks of life are very prosperous, and the government has opened a lot of factories. Those farmers can also work in the factories run by the government during the slack season to earn some money to supplement their families. The days of food are really happy.
Therefore, Tianshui City is always crowded with people on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Generally speaking, Li Yunfei will quietly put on makeup and go out for a stroll, listening to some underground people’s words, which can be easily heard in some small teahouses. , The news from the bottom is much more true than what those officials reported.
Although we strictly crack down on falsification and flattery, those lowly officials always sing praises habitually, and bad things will be slightly modified before they are sent. Go around, come to a private visit or something.
"It is said that my lord, Emperor Shenwu, descended from the sky, shouted Hou Jing's child to die, and in an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and a ball of fire fell from the sky..." The storyteller in the small teahouse was in high spirits, and Li Yunfei was sitting in a small attic, listening In the noisy storytelling scene outside, the story was indeed quite funny, and in all likelihood, Cherry asked someone to write it. Although Li Yunfei never said that he would be the emperor, those lowly people always habitually call Li Yunfei the Emperor of Shenwu.
"I've seen someone who is narcissistic, but I've never seen someone who is so narcissistic!" Seeing that Li Yunfei was listening with great interest, Chu Qiao poked Li Yunfei's waist carefully and said.
"Why am I narcissistic? It's funny to hear this story, so let's have fun."
"Are you sure you're not so happy because someone called you Emperor Shenwu?"
"Of course not...Little Qiao, why are you so free these days and don't lead soldiers to practice?"
"I'm afraid that my achievements will overwhelm the Lord, so I restrain myself. Your Excellency doesn't care. Then, Mr. Feng persuaded me many times. They are afraid that I will suddenly turn against you under the instigation of someone with a heart, and then..." She said I wasn't worried at all that Li Yunfei would turn his back on him suddenly, so I told the truth.
"No result means that the world is in chaos, and the people are suffering so much. I really can't bear to see it, so I don't bother to do this kind of thing that dominates the world. Power is just a passing cloud and disappears with the wind in a blink of an eye. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Why bother asking for that trouble?"
"You speak like an old man!"
"Come on, let's go shopping together!"
"...Aren't you afraid that I'll buy a lot of things?"
"Buy it, no matter how much you buy, I'll carry it for you!"
"Forget it, that sticky man is here again, I'd better take a step first." As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave, but was grabbed by Li Yunfei.
"Aren't you two best sisters? Why are you running when she comes?"
"I didn't run away. I just gave you more chances to get along. Don't worry, she's an adult now, and I won't despise you."
"...Little Qiao, I had a dream that I might disappear in more than ten years!" Li Yunfei didn't know the specific situation, but he always felt that as long as he completed the unification of the world in this world, it would only take a few years It may disappear, and as the practice continues and the strength increases, the feeling will indeed become more obvious.
"Cheating ghosts, this kind of lying to children is definitely not effective for me..." But after being pulled back and hugged by Li Yunfei, she didn't dare to continue talking. She kept warning herself that Li Yunfei was a The central air conditioner is very good to everyone. If you get along with him, you may be pissed off, so try to keep your distance.
But when he was really hugged into his arms, he felt that even with his central air conditioner, it was quite warm and comfortable, or he could let it go. Anyway, the ratio of men to women in this era is completely out of balance, even if he has a few more wives Also recognized? For a while Chu Qiao was quite tangled...
"Little Qiao, I really didn't lie to you, and I don't know what's going on... I hope you can believe me. I haven't told anyone about this. If one day I really disappear, I hope you can take good care of me. This Dahua Dynasty is well guarded, so that the bosses can live a peaceful and stable life..." In fact, I dreamed that I might disappear suddenly, and I was somewhat worried. It might represent death. It seems that the cultivation speed is faster and the strength is stronger. , maybe this day of disappearance will come sooner, there is always some fear of the unknown.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine, definitely not!" Chu Qiao finally hugged Li Yunfei tightly, because she felt a trace of fear in Li Yunfei's heart, and really wanted to share the burden for him. fear.
