Chapter 196: Hard Wall

August 12, the fourth year of Jian'an.

Recently, there have been more and more frequent frictions outside the Lulong Wall, and Gongsun Yan has to be wary of one thing - this year's barbarians will go south early.

In previous years, Hu people would go south only after the autumn harvest.

At that time, the Han land, which had just harvested in autumn, was worth plundering.

But because Gongsun Yan, a little butterfly, flapped its wings, it was a foregone conclusion that the Hu people would move south on a large scale this year.

The caravan headed by the Guan family, carrying the deed from the Lulong County Temple, left Lulong fortress and continued to trade.

A large amount of news was transmitted back to Lulong through the exchanges of these caravans.

Especially when you know that the information is evaluated by value and can be exchanged for a share of the product.

There was even a little clever guy who handed the gossip about Tadun's private favor to his subordinate's wife to Gongsun Yan's desk with an open hand.

While lamenting that everyone is a traitor to Cao, Gongsun Yan generously approved eighty bolts of cloth tickets for this news.

This indirect encouragement caused all kinds of strange gossip and secrets to appear on Gongsun Yan's desk.

Even news about Lingzhi and the Liaodong family came through various channels.

Of course, if there are gains, there will be losses.

Lulong County suddenly became prosperous for unknown reasons, which became Tadun's best bait to persuade other tribes to go south.

Outside the Great Wall, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and several southern Xiongnu tribes were gathering.

This incident caused Gongsun Yan to step up his efforts and urge the petty officials to move in all directions to move the people living in scattered villages into Lulong County or into nearby Wubao or manors.

Most people are unwilling to harvest the food in the fields in advance and leave their homes.

Fortunately, the county government has established sufficient credibility in recent months.

Moreover, Gongsun Yan also mobilized reserve soldiers outside Lulong County to forcefully move the people into Lulong County.

She has always been willing to be reasonable and use as gentle an attitude as possible to solve problems.

But everything has limits.

At this time, the situation did not allow them to mourn the loss caused by the early harvest of the grain they had worked so hard to serve in the fields.

Historically, captured people were driven to attack passes, and there are many examples of sieges.

Especially in the Northland, this kind of thing is more common.

Most generals would choose to directly kill and kill, and a very few would open the door to pick up people, only to be breached by the enemies following them.

No matter what the generals who defend the city choose, it will have a great impact on morale and disperse people's hearts.

Gongsun Yan didn't want to make such a difficult decision, nor did he want Zhao Yun or any of his subordinates to make it.

Therefore, we must carry out the task of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to the end.

"Ms. Yan, this is the progress of city defense construction. Please take a look."

Liu Hui stood in front of Gongsun Yan's desk and handed over the documents in his hand.

"Okay, Mr. Kuai Zihui."

As the effectiveness of the therapeutic drugs came into play, and Hua Tuo, a great master in the medical field, provided an unlimited supply of medicines for recuperation, Liu Hui's body and mind were rapidly recovering.

After he thoroughly understood the regulations established by Gongsun Yan.

While teaching official studies, he truly showed the level of Zeng Fu as the number one minister and staff member.

Compared to later generations, Gongsun Yan was still occasionally stymied by his own thoughts and emotions.

Liu Hui was too sophisticated and ruthless when coordinating the relationship between various parties.

Gongsun Yan took it and flipped through it. After a long while, a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

Li Li received a letter from his old boss Liu Hui, and escorted by his nephew, he came all the way from Jizhou to this frontier fortress.

He originally thought that he would be assisted by Zhao Yun, who was also a member of the Jizhou Township Party.

Only then did he happily cross the war-torn area and trek to Lulong with great sincerity.

It wasn't until I came to visit Liu Hui with a vague letter that I realized that there was a woman hiding behind Zhao Yun.

If Liu Hui hadn't pulled him quickly, Li Li would have run back to Jizhou overnight.

Although I promised to wait and see again later, I have been dilly-dallying until the past few days.

Only then did he finally get out of office and take up the post of chief registrar of Lulong County.

The nephew of the family who escorted him, Li Jin, also found a position under Xia Houlan.

It coincided with the implementation of the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing out the wilds throughout Lulong.

The work of demarcating areas and settling the people was directly handed over to Li Li.

Li Li was a good drinker and a good gamer, but he was not bad at anything.

The word "settlement" is not as easy as it seems.

A large number of people suddenly poured into the city, and they had to deal with food, drink, diarrhea and shelter.

A bowl of rice porridge, a piece of charcoal for cooking, and even the hygienic handling of feces in a public toilet need to be considered.

Especially when there are only two clerks under his command, Li Li will be busy for a long time.

Nowadays, a large area of ​​shanty towns in Nancheng, which grows wildly like mushrooms after the rain, is the result of his hard work for several days.

At the same time, in order to prevent the people who moved into the city from running out of food and causing chaos, Gongsun Yan ordered Liu Hui to prepare several city defense construction plans and mobilize all these people.

Don't give them any time to think and cause trouble.

Therefore, the Hedgehog City construction plan, which was similar to Lu Longsai, was once again presented to Gongsun Yan by Liu Hui.

I believe that no matter which foreign tribes make the hard journey to Lulongsai and Lulong County, their expressions will be wonderful.
