Chapter 263: Placement

Li Ze did not place the Siwandan tribe in Dezhou in a straightforward manner. Instead, after careful consideration, there were many rivers in Dezhou, and rivers cut the entire Dezhou into unconnected areas, and the surrounding areas of Boxing County were densely packed.

The Khitan cavalry, famous for its fast maneuvering in such an area, naturally have further considerations. Dezhou will not be abandoned like this. In the future, there will definitely be former Dezhou immigrants to move back, and Li Ze will also move people from other places. When the surrounding counties in Boxing are filled with people and cities are rebuilt, the Siwandan tribe will be locked in this area.

It is naturally impossible to say that Li Ze is not prepared for the Khitans.

When Li Ze, Yelu Qi and others entered Boxing, the Khitan Siwandan tribe who set out in advance had arrived at their destination, Boxing County, Dezhou.

The Khitans originally lived by water and grass. After arriving in Boxing County, they naturally stationed on the Sixin River.

The Sixin River is still covered with thick ice.

A team organized by Yixing Society from Shiyi has been working here for a long time. On the highland not far from the river, the houses built by Yixing Society members are neatly and orderly. On this highland, there have been about hundreds of houses.

In winter, it is naturally impossible to build such a sturdy house. In fact, these houses are just simple thatched huts, just for the Khitans to spend this winter.

The members of Yixing dig out the snow and harvested a large amount of thatch covered by the snow, and then piled it together to ignite it. The blazing flames melted the frozen soil. The burning ash was dug out and spread it on the ground, and then used strips and other strips to tie more thatch into grass rows.

Cut down trees, nail them to the ground as pile foundation, then nail them one by one, finally dig up the soil, mix them into mud, and then paste them on the grass steaks layer by layer. After a night, the soil on these grass steaks was frozen hard. The frozen grass steaks blocked the bitter cold wind outside the layer.

And when the mud is dried in the house, it can also play a fire-proof role.

Li Ze and Yelu Qi stood on the high ground, looking at the round or square tents and gathered members of the Xiwansi tribes by the river below, and said, "The surrounding water and grass are lush and can be grazed. Of course, you cannot compare with the outside of the mouth, and you cannot transfer to other places, so there is only a limited number of livestock for stockings. Of course, you don't have to move here again in the future. You should treat this place as your home and manage it well. These thatched huts are indeed a little simpler, but after you settle down, you can build real adobe houses, even brick houses."

"But we won't build a house!" Yelu Qi said suddenly.

"Of course there will be someone to teach you how to build a house." Li Ze smiled and said, "There will be someone to teach you how to build adobe houses, how to burn bricks and tiles, and how to reclaim wasteland and plant food after spring tomorrow. Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

"Thank you, Ji Shuai!" Yelu Qi said with his fists.

"You are the industry in terms of breeding, but in the future, you can not only raise sheep, cattle, horses, but also chickens and ducks. Chicken and ducks can lay eggs, eat meat, and even the hair on their bodies can be sold for money." Li Ze said with a smile: "You can also catch fish in Sixin River. By the way, Boxing County still has a lot of media charcoal resources, which is a good thing. You can also dig media charcoal and sell it for money. However, digging this thing still has certain dangers, and it also requires rich experience to distinguish different coals. Let's talk about it after everything is settled in the future. Nature has given us a lot of good things, as long as we are good at discovering and utilizing it."

"Media Charcoal?" Yelu Qi blinked his eyes. He didn't understand what this was.

"It is a fuel. It is like you burning horse manure and cow dung. It can keep warm and cook. But it is much stronger than horse manure and cow dung, and even silver charcoal cannot be compared. Because the price of silver charcoal is too high, ordinary people can afford it. But this thing is buried underground. As long as it is dug out and processed for a little, it can be used as fuel. Don't panic. When we come back, I will send someone to teach you how to dig coal and how to make coal. This thing has not been popular yet. Many people think it is poisonous and not a good thing. However, as long as it is a little modified, it will be the best fuel." Li Ze said with a smile.

"The re-creation of the Master of Jie is unforgettable to remember all the Wandan tribes!"

"In the future, you will be my subordinates and my people. It is my duty to create a better life for you. Otherwise, why should you serve me?" Li Ze smiled and said, "Select ten outstanding soldiers from the tribe, join my personal guard Yicong, and select some smart children, follow me to Wuyi to study, and train them since I was a child. I believe that when they grow up, the Siwandan tribe will be able to go to the next level."

"Thank you for your trust."

"These children need to be trained in a focus. So you should be more cautious when choosing candidates. Of course, it is not just the children of the nobles of your tribe, but also the children of ordinary herders!" Li Ze said. "Heroes do not care about their origins, as long as they can lead your tribe forward, they are worth cultivating."

"Yelu Qi will definitely select the smartest children to study hard, and will also select the bravest soldiers to follow Jieshuai to fight for Jieshuai." Yelu Qi said.

"After the New Year, I will go to Chang'an. You can arrange the affairs of the tribe well. I will take you to Chang'an to open your eyes." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Take me to Chang'an?" Yelu Qi asked in shock.

"What? Don't want to go? That's a good place!"

"Of course I'm willing to go. It's also a place I long for. I heard that it's a world of flowers!" Yelu Qi said with a smile.

"Then follow me." Li Ze smiled and said, "When we come back, I believe your tribe has already lived and worked in peace here."

When Li Ze left Boxing, the speed of building houses here had been greatly accelerated. The arrival of tens of thousands of Khitans gave them sufficient staff. The original Yixing members immediately became small leaders who guided these Khitans to work, mowed grass, cut trees, burned them, and laid grass rows. Such simple houses would have a row of extra rows in a day.

The diversion of the Khitans was also unfolding in an orderly manner. There were four townships in Boxing, and tens of thousands of Khitans were divided into four residences. These tasks were made long before the Khitans arrived, but now they are just following the steps.

Trucks of food were transported from Shiyi, and various kinds of materials arrived continuously. The abundant supplies gave these Khitans who had traveled a long distance to a great heart, and they were even more passionate about their work.

There were ten more personal guards in Li Ze's team, five of whom were the sons of the heads of the Siwandan tribe, and five of whom were ordinary herdsmen. Yelu Qi's younger brother Yeluding was the most valuable of these ten people. The ten people had one thing in common, that is, they were all the bravest warriors in the Siwandan tribe.

In addition to these ten people, there are nearly twenty more children in the team, the oldest is ten years old and the youngest is only six years old.

Education and assimilation naturally start with children, and Li Ze deeply agrees with this.

After passing Shiyi, the crowd crossed the snow-capped mountains and finally stepped into Wuyi. After harvesting the crops in autumn, it had been a full three months. Min Rou and Chengde Wolf Cavalry didn't feel much, but Li Ze, Li Mi and his personal guard Yicong were all excited.

Today, Wuyi is no longer the Wuyi that was the same. A large number of immigrants and the influx of wealthy people have caused the population of Wuyi to rise from only more than 2,000 households to nearly 100,000 people, villages and villages can be seen everywhere. In the places close to Daqing Mountain, countless cellars have been erected. With the help of the rich wood in Daqing Mountain, this place has now become a concentrated place for Wuyi charcoal, bricks, lime and other materials. Even in winter, each cellar is still thick smoke, and countless horse carriages, ox carriages, donkey carriages, drag charcoal, bricks, tiles and other things, crushing the thick snow into deep ruts.

Seeing Li Ze's flag and the cavalry of the brigade, these vehicles rushed to the side of the road to make way for Li Ze. When Li Ze passed by them, these people cheered loudly.

Li Ze also pulled down the scarf covered with his face and waved to these people with a smile. Every wave of his hand would attract even greater cheers.

The changes brought to Wuyi by Li Ze are real. Wuyi is also Li Ze's basic foundation. It is precisely because of the wealthy Wuyi that Li Ze has more confidence to move forward.

The cavalry passed by the village where Li Ze had lived for more than ten years, and now there was a new guest there, which was Li Ze's second uncle Li Anmin.

"Minrou, you go see my second uncle on behalf of me, I won't go." Li Ze turned around and said to Min Ru. "The New Year is coming soon, let's see where Uncle Second is missing."

"As for your order!" Min Rou rode his horse and whipped away.

Li Ze had no disgust for this second uncle, and of course, he had no good feelings. If he could successfully take over the Northland, become the king of the Northland, and consolidate the foundation of his rule, then the Second Uncle, who has rich experience in governing, could come out again to help him.
