Chapter 663 Undercurrent

In the blink of an eye, it was the summer of the fourth year of Daye. Following the large-scale labor service last year, the current Sui Emperor Yang Guang recruited another 200,000 young and strong men to continue repairing the ancient Great Wall at the northwest border.

He intended to guard against foreign races outside the Great Wall and to deter foreign races outside the Great Wall.

The ability to easily recruit hundreds of thousands of young and strong men for labor service was a great test of national strength and management capabilities. The Great Sui Dynasty could do it easily, which was a great deterrent to foreign races outside the Great Wall.

Jia Huan and his senior brother Zuo Youxian didn't care so much. This time they must find a way to keep most of these laborers in the border areas to become the talent base of the Taoist ancestor's true teachings.

To this end, he communicated with the government offices of major towns and border troops, as well as the top brass of the border army, and successfully obtained the support of these beings.

As I said before, the number of people in the Great Sui Dynasty at the northwest border was too small, which was not conducive to the stability of the border order and the prevention of foreign races outside the Great Wall.

It is said that half of the tens of thousands of young and strong laborers left last year have already brought their wives and children who are still in the heart of the Central Plains, which is a population of more than 100,000.

The propaganda of the Taoist lineage played a big role in achieving such a good result. Of course, the assistance of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was also quite sharp.

While he recruited 200,000 young and strong laborers to come to the northwest border to repair the ancient Great Wall, he also frantically recruited a million people from Hebei to dig the Northern Canal.

At this time, Yang Guang had already had the idea of ​​personally conquering Goguryeo, and digging the Northern Canal was just the starting stage of his idea, which was quite crazy.

The previous construction of the Chidao, the earlier construction of the Eastern Capital Luoyang, and the recruitment of a million people to repair the ancient Great Wall, had already consumed the power of the northern people.

At this time, the northern people were simply terrified by the word "service"!

And this time, Hebei had already seen a shortage of young and strong male laborers in the construction of the Northern Canal. In order to ensure the completion of the task, local governments have begun to recruit young and strong women in a desperate manner.

Even if they can successfully survive the canal construction project this time, what about the next labor conscription?

As long as they still live in the heartland of the Central Plains, without enough power and financial resources to avoid labor, they are likely to be exhausted to death by the court's round after round of labor.

It is better to bring your family and stay in the border areas where you don't have to do labor!

Although the living environment here is a bit difficult, there is no endless labor conscription.

As long as you follow the footsteps of the Taoist lineage, at least the safety issue is very guaranteed.

If you are luckier, your children can successfully enter the Taoism school opened by the Taoist lineage and learn a lot of skills, and maybe the whole family can follow and rise to prominence.

At worst, working in the business opened by the Taoist lineage is still quite comfortable.

The many Taoist temples of the Taoist lineage have played the role of medical clinics, schools and religions, which is also the main reason why many young and strong laborers choose to stay and call all their families.

With their experience, the subsequent persuasion of young and strong laborers will be much easier and simpler.

Even if half of the laborers stay, that is 100,000 young and strong, which is not a small number!

If another half is willing to bring their families and wives and children, it will be more than 200,000 people.

If there are so many people pouring in, the talent foundation of the Taoist lineage will become extremely stable.

As long as there is no major change in the border area, the status and influence of the Taoist lineage will continue to expand and eventually become a terrifying giant.

Not to mention, among so many people, how many people have outstanding martial arts talents?

And how many talents can stand out in Taoism?

At that time, even if the Central Plains is in flames, relying solely on the large population and border troops in the northwest border area, it can continue to suppress the foreign races outside the Great Wall from making rash moves.

At this time, the Taoist lineage has grown and developed, and these matters of persuading young and strong laborers to stay do not need to be handled by Jia Huan and Zuo Youxian personally. They only need to pay attention to them secretly.

The two of them focused their main attention on the Demon Commander Zhao Deyan.

I don't know how this guy is doing, and whether he has contacted Tiele Flying Eagle Qu Ao?

In order to wait for the latest news, the two brothers must take turns to guard Changgeng Temple.

Before, Senior Brother Zuo Youxian followed the border army and once again severely damaged the remnant of Tuyuhun, almost completely eliminating all the forces of Tuyuhun from the Qingning area.

The remaining troops, including the new king Fu Qian, had to run to the plateau to survive.

"Fu Qian is a big shot, but it's a pity that I didn't seize the opportunity to kill him!"

When communicating privately, Senior Brother Zuo Youxian spoke with regret.

"If you have the chance to meet him in the future, just kill him directly!"

Jia Huan didn't care much. As a famous master in the outside world, Fu Qian might still have a little luck on him, so he is not so easy to kill.

Of course, if he met him, Jia Huan wouldn't mind killing him directly.

Just like following the border army to kill his father Fu Yun.

In fact, with the border troops as support, Jia Huan and his senior brother Zuo Youxian can run rampant in the world of Jianghu outside the Great Wall, except for a few tribal forces such as the Turks and Tiele.

They have such strength, and the backers behind them are even more powerful!

In fact, there are not many strong men in Jianghu outside the Great Wall that can attract Jia Huan's special attention!

After the possible hunting of "Xuan" is over, he plans to take a good look at the powerful people in the northwest.

For example, Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou of the Yingyang School are two real heroes!

Of course, with the existence of Jia Huan and the lineage of Daozu, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to have the same achievements as in normal history in the future. Jia Huan will not allow it.

Also, Jincheng Xue Ju, who is known as the Overlord of Western Qin!

This guy can defeat Li Er's elite troops in the front battlefield repeatedly. He is definitely a rare general.

His martial arts are also quite amazing. Otherwise, he would call himself "Overlord" if he has a problem with his brain!

At this time, the news came from the Demon Xiang Sect, which had been silent all the time: Demon General Zhao Deyan had reached an agreement with Tiele Flying Eagle Qu Ao in private, and was ready to join forces to target Wu Zun Bi Xuan!

However, Tiele Flying Eagle Qu Ao needs time to adjust his state. In about a month, he will take the initiative to challenge Wu Zun Bi Xuan. Then it will be their hunting time.

Whether it is Jia Huan or his senior brother Zuo Youxian, they can't help but be excited!

It's good to have the news. They can start to prepare. After all, they are targeting Wu Zun Bi Xuan.

This time, even if he couldn't kill him at once, he had to at least find a way to get out of him the exact location of the Sun Temple where he had stayed before!

Just in case, Jia Huan and his senior brother Zuo Youxian discussed and took the initiative to invite Yin Hou Zhu Yuyan, hoping that she could come to the northwest border at that time.

As for what the specific matter was, it was a good thing to remind her in words and deeds!

As for whether Yin Hou would come, that was her own business.

Anyway, Jia Huan and his senior brother Zuo Youxian felt that they had done what they should do. Even if Yin Hou wanted to settle accounts later, they had sufficient reasons to explain.

At the same time, the letter written by the master of Qingfeng Temple to the master of Louguan Dao caused an uproar in Zhongnan Mountain.
