Chapter 250

After drinking two pots of grape wine with Chen Zi'ang, Chen Zi'ang suddenly remembered another purpose of his arrival and advised Li Chongrun: "The prince allowed the Turks to open a shop in the city in a few days today. I am afraid that our weaknesses and reality will be controlled by the Turks. Will there be many troubles in the future?"

"It's okay." Li Chongrun was still very confident about this: "Spy and spy can't be banned anyway. Instead of hiding it, it's better to show them so openly."

"Chen is worried. If the other party knows that we only have these people and we will really fight to the point of being beaten up, we really can't resist it."

Chen Zi'ang's worries are reasonable. The Turkic army is still in the Turkic camp several miles away and has no intention of withdrawing.

"If the actions in the past few days are effective, even if the Turks come over, the students will be sure to let them see what it means to fall into the sea of ​​fire and fire in the people's war." Li Chongrun said with a smile: "If our actions in the past few days are not effective, our factory guards are still a private soldier who uses money to do business, even if our number increases ten times, if the Turkic army forcibly attacks the city, we have no choice."

"There is also a matter of waiting for the war between the Khitans and the imperial court to suppress the rebellion." Li Chongrun added: "If the court wins, the Turkic army will naturally have no reason and capital to remain here. If the court loses, the 100,000 army will not even solve the scattered soldiers of the Khitans. It means that the court is just an embroidered pillow with a fierce and cowardly appearance on the inside, so the Turkic army will naturally be fearless. It will only take a minute to tear the face to attack the city."

Li Chongrun was very open-minded: "Anyway, we have a boat, and at worst we can just get on the boat and run away. The people in this city will be a little pitiful. I hope the mercenaries hired from Yangzhou can catch some and move these people to Juhua Island as soon as possible."

------------------------------

The next morning, many Han people wanted to rush to Ximen to learn about the recent war situation, see if the Turks had retreated, and see that today several more criminals stained with the blood of the Han people were arrested for public trial.

When many people arrived at Ximen, it was still early, and the people who were rushing to come one after another were startled by the scene they saw.

Many soldiers who had changed their defenses held their weapons in their arms, and they lie under the city wall with their clothes and fell asleep.

Many people remembered what I heard last night: a song that didn't take the crowd one by one, and then they realized that what they were singing was really not a lie.

Even the Tang army, who is known for its strict discipline, has caused many harm to the people if they want to eat and take a taxi, let alone the government soldiers and even private soldiers.

The people who were moved by the spirit of the factory guards cooperated a lot. When the factory guards heard that they would gather some people to help repair the wooden bridge at the south gate, many skilled people stood up and soon repaired the wooden bridge with only the stone piers left burned.

Mercenaries from the south rushed over from Juhua Island, received Li Chongrun's order, and began to migrate to Juhua Island one after another those villagers who were forcibly collected from this Liucheng City.

However, before many people were moved away, the mercenaries found that the task was much more difficult.

It was not because the Turks had been called, but because many people who participated in the construction of the Nanmen Bridge actually received wages, and the price was pretty good.

It is hard to leave his hometown. As the young King Linzi was able to catch up with the young King of Linzi, who knew the magic of immortals, and he recovered Liucheng without any effort. Even the Turkic army suffered a great loss and is still hiding far away.

What's more, the Khitans who were wandering in the city were almost arrested yesterday, but the factory guards did not stop patrolling.

Many bandits and strong men who originally wanted to make money in the chaos were also included in the ranks of public enemies. Several gangs that caused trouble were simply taken over by the factory guards, and many detailed works and traitors who colluded with the Khitans or Turks in secret.

Chen Zi'ang, who replaced Li Chongrun's position, presided over the public trial in Ximen, had his arms swollen after knocking on the hammer.

With this little god here, I naturally don’t worry about the barbarians coming over again. The city now looks like they don’t close their doors at night, so the confidence of the people is obviously much more sufficient, and it is naturally much more difficult for mercenaries to recruit refugees.

"Prince, this move is probably inappropriate." Chen Zi'ang came to Li Chongrun with concern again and was nagging. "It is natural for the people to go to labor service. If we start this boss, it will be much more inconvenient to do things in the future."

"The matter is urgently followed. Now the Turks are about to attack the city, which is also to attract the hearts of the people."

Li Chongrun could not popularize the concept of future countries with Chen Zi'ang, but he was afraid that his strong patriotism would immediately treat himself as a thief and arrest Fengyiwei. He had no idea about public facilities.

It was not realistic to popularize the concept of Marxist political economy with him in this short time. Li Chongrun could only use military information as a reason to block his mouth.

Fortunately, Chen Zi'ang was not confused about this, but turned around and asked another question: "It's just that their Pacific company people said today that since they learned that they had money to help with work, many people who agreed to move back on their word."

"Their home is here. If it was a war, it would be understandable to flee, but now we have seized it back. We don't have to go through the war and have money to get it, so it's really hard to hold people."

Li Chongrun touched his nose and thought for a while: "I told him that Yangzhou is also my territory, so that they can go there with confidence. I guess there are so many people I can move over."

"The prince's fiefdom is obviously in Linzi, and our dynasty has no request for Fan..."

"They don't understand."

“It makes sense.”

The next day, after hearing that Yangzhou was also Li Chongrun's territory, the mercenaries responded a lot to the job of relocating refugees, but they were far less enthusiastic than yesterday morning.

When many people who were unwilling to leave heard that they could work for the prince in Ximen, not only to manage food, but also to get money and food, they signed up to participate in the construction of the fortifications.

"Uncle, why did the prince ask us to dig so many ditches?"

Zhang Sanlang helped to repair the bridge yesterday. Not only did he eat the first full meal in many days, but he also took a lot of grain and rice back. So today he signed up to work happily.

"Where did the little old man know this? Maybe he was guarding against Turkic cavalry."

The little old man who was questioned answered Zhang Sanlang.

While the two were digging a hole and chatting, several Zhang Sanlang's acquaintances patrolled the construction site.
