Chapter 120 - Building a Fortified City at the Foot of Yin Mountain (Part 1)
Then if you say that, do I still have a chance to refuse?
Huiri knew that the impression she left on Du He was not good. If she didn't seize the opportunity, she might be her death day at the end of March next year.
"Young Master just give me instructions if you have any matter. Huiri will do his best to go through fire and water without hesitation."
Du He smiled indifferently: "Don't rush to express his determination in front of me first. It's useless. You know, since I can catch you for the first time, I can catch you for the second time. Japan is actually not far away, right?"
"Young Master, I don't mean to run away. You're thinking too much." Hui Ri vaguely heard some of Du He's crazy speech just now. It would be better not to challenge his patience if a person who even robbers and robbers had to collect taxes.
"Do I want to know more about it?" Du He signaled Boss Gu to bring a stool, and after sitting down, he raised his legs and said slowly: "I know you are curious about why I didn't kill you, but chose to let you work for me. In fact, in my opinion, you have many advantages, such as: using any means to do things, being cold-blooded and ruthless, greedy and vain, shameless..."
Huiri was speechless.
Are you sure these are all advantages just now? If so, then I would rather be full of shortcomings.
Du He looked at him, shrugged and said, "Don't think I'm talking slander. I'm indeed praising you. The biggest shortcoming of yours is that you are not smart enough, short-sighted, and unable to see the general trend."
OK, I believe this.
Hui Ri drooped his head helplessly, thought for a while and said, "Young Master, I really don't understand why you want to save my life. I know that since you first saw me, you have disgust in your eyes, but why did you not kill me even though this opportunity was so good?"
"It's actually easy to kill you, just one look? But I think this is too wasteful of your talent. Are you just a lamb who went astray? Killing you will not do anything to me. On the contrary, if you can use it for me, it will bring greater value." Du He spoke bluntly and did not mind Hui Ri's idea. He directly expressed the meaning of soliciting.
Hui Ri heard it even more confused. The foolish husband asked, "Why? I am just an outsider in the Tang Dynasty? I am not familiar with everything here. If the young master wants me to go back to Japan to find out the news...? Isn't the young master afraid that I will never go back?"
"Of course not afraid, because that will be your loss." Du He changed his comfortable posture: "To me, Japan is too small. Don't say that you can't be a powerful minister like Su I, Emily, even if you become a man? What if you become a man? The whole Japan is not as big as the two prefectures of the Tang Dynasty? The capital is scarce? The land is barren. Is it interesting to master such a country?
Huiri, don’t limit your attention to a mere little place. Look at the long-term. The world outside is big and big? There are many people outside.
If you are a little smarter, you should know? �
What big reason do I not tell you? More realistic? Do you think Su Woshi will let you go? Will you let these things be spread?
Don't be stupid, be realistic. Whether it is Suwo or your royal family, they will only hide these things to create more weapons and massacre more people.
And you... know too much, the final result may not be much better than now. Being a prisoner is your greatest luck. If you don't do it well, after you say everything, you will be greeted with a steel knife."
Gudu….
Huiri swallowed a mouthful, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Based on his understanding of Su-Yeyi, the situation he needs to face after returning is much more complicated than Du He described. Before, he only thought about bringing the information back and was a great hero in Japan, but he never thought about what the outcome would be after he lost his value.
Du He saw his appearance and knew that he must have been persuaded by him. He patted his thigh and stood up: "How is it? Have you thought about it? After thinking about it, nodded and clean up yourself well. The new task is still waiting for you, don't waste time."
Huiri also quickly stood up and said, "Yes, follow the instructions of the young master."
"Well, it's very good!" Du He nodded and said with a smile: "Those who know the times are heroes. Huiri, I like you and serve the Tang Dynasty. You are grateful for the choices you have made today in a few years."
Huiri smiled bitterly. Maybe he would be glad, maybe he would regret it. At the moment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take one step at a time.
...
Cheng Yaojin has lived a lot more comfortable during this period, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The ice and snow on the grassland are beginning to melt, and a faint green can be seen near some ditches.
Finally got through it. The damn winter was too long, lasting for five or six months. Looking back, it was really not a life for people. If it weren’t for the hot water bags and coal stoves in the later stage, how many people would have died.
"Dad, Dad!" The curtain of the central army's tent was suddenly lifted open, and Cheng Chumo, who was covered in tendons, rushed in with excitement on his face.
"How many times have you told you that there are only military positions in the military camp, and there are no fathers and sons, you just have to eat with food, right?" Cheng Yaojin had a dark face. Before Cheng Chumo could finish his words, he cursed and finally kicked him.
Things that don’t have a long memory are just a beating!
Cheng Chumo was kicked and staggered, and he didn't dare to let go of one of his farts. He ran away embarrassedly, and his joy turned into countless depressions.
Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything. After kicking him, Da Lala sat behind the commander's case: "What happened? You're such a fuss."
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Cheng Chumo smiled and leaned over to his side: "Hehe... the general manager, someone has come to Chang'an. He said he wants to build a city for the border army. I hope the border army will cooperate."
Cheng Yaojin nodded: "Well, building a city is a good thing. How do they hope the border troops will cooperate."
"Then I don't know, but the people are about to enter the camp. When they come, let them tell you in person."
Cheng Yaojin stared at his son with some dissatisfaction, and didn't know what kind of good news to come to report. If he had such a subordinate, he would have to be beaten to death.
At this time, outside the central army's tent, the news that the court planned to build a city on the border spread like wings, and all the soldiers who knew the news were full of joy.
It’s great to build a city. After building a city, you don’t have to sleep in the snow and ice. You will have a comfortable nest on the border in the future. Maybe when the city is built, you can find opportunities to move your family here, so you won’t have to worry about anything in the future.
The news in the camp was full of controversy. Outside the camp, a team of hundreds of people slowly approached the camp with supplies and other things. After a little contact with the sentries at the gate of the camp, several guys dressed in officials entered the camp and turned all the way to the central army tent.
To be honest, Zhou Renqi actually didn't want to come to Mobei to build a city. Why just send someone to the supervisor?
But there was no way, the superiors and subordinates sent him to the subordinates. The young supervisor Du Hedu said he was worried and insisted on letting him come here to take charge of the affairs. What can he do?
After walking through the dense camp tents and leaving for about half an hour, the central army tent finally arrived. When he entered it, he immediately saw the big demon Cheng Yaojin, who had changed his expression from Chang'an, staring at him with his teeth and staring at him.
"Will be the supervisor of the supervisor, Zhou Renqi will meet with the chief executive." Zhou Renqi did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward to greet him.
"Forget it, get up." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and asked carelessly: "I heard that the court wants to build a city here. Tell me, how big a city, how much manpower and how much time is needed?"
"When I go back to the Grand General Manager, the new city has a length of 100 feet and a height of 300 meters. This time, the officials brought a total of 500 craftsmen to use local materials. If the Grand General Manager is convenient, it is best to allocate 3,000 people to cooperate with us and strive to build the city within four months."
Baji, Cheng Yaojin blinked his cow's eyes, looked Zhou Renqi up and down, and his fingers as thick as a carrot were scrubbing his ears: "You said four years just now, aren't you?"
"No, four months." Zhou Renqi replied calmly.
"Don't you, do you think Cheng is a fool? Build a city with a length of hundreds of feet in four months. Are you planning to use a pile of soil?" Cheng Yaojin was angry at the time. He didn't even make such a joke. Such a huge city may not be built in four years, four months...
Zhou Renqi was helpless with his spit on his head and face. Somehow he thought of the wall that was blocked by the black saxaul in the prison.
"The chief manager, now it is no longer as early as before. He has already had a more advanced weapon for building a city. Four months has been said to him. If the chief manager can arrange 5,000 people to cooperate with us in transporting supplies, within three months, he can guarantee that the soldiers will be allowed to move into the city."
"Haha, I have never seen the ability to build a city in prison, but this bragging ability is a top-notch expert." Cheng Yaojin curled his lips: "Sure, I won't talk nonsense to you, four months, right? I remember, I will arrange personnel for you later. I want to see how you built the city for me in four months."
"Don't worry, the chief executive will be in charge and will not disappoint the chief executive." Zhou Renqi was full of confidence and was ready to give Cheng Yaojin a little color.
With a powerful tool like cement, the city does not need to be built several feet thick as before. As long as it is three feet thick, it will be enough to deal with all attacks. The rest of the place can be completely vacant, saving manpower and material resources, and saving time. At the same time, it can also leave a certain space inside the city wall to store materials and station troops.
It can be said that this time the construction of the city was a milestone for the Tang Dynasty to build a city. From now on, the city of the Tang Dynasty will never be as stupid as before.
