Chapter 414: Extinct

Jianning's affairs are still in the conceivable stage. Zhu Ti needs to be completely pacified. It will take some time for Liu Yi to take back the people who were hacked by Lu Yuan. In order to avoid Lu Yuan catching people in the city at will, Liu Yi asked Zhao Guang, Chen Ergou and Liu Sandao to lead 300 troops to inspect the city in the name of inspecting the local area, which was called maintaining public order, but in fact, it was to avoid Lu Yuan and the big clans from doing things in chaos.

Starting from the third day, Lu Yuan sent back the population one after another. In order to avoid mistakes, Liu Yi asked Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to raise these populations. The three counties of Zhuti, the population arrested for not paying taxes was more than 9,000, accounting for almost one-quarter of the 30% household registration, and they were all young and strong.

This damn human heart!

Standing on the newly built arrow tower on the earthen wall, Liu Yi silently looked at the prisoners sent in from outside, and did not attack Lu Yuan for this, asking these people what they were doing. There was no answer, and some of them could not be taken out. Even if everyone was as clear as a mirror, Liu Yi's target was not Lu Yuan, so there was no need to tear his face because of this matter.

These people who were named criminals were gathered together by Guan Xing and sent to the outside of the city. Liu Yi was preparing to build a hamlet by the river outside the city. Although the conditions were limited at present, they would at least look like a county town than this earthen city. Liu Yi did need a lot of labor to help him log and dig the foundation.

"The coins we brought are almost used." Ma Liang stood beside Liu Yi and sighed. The finances in Shu were tight. The money he allocated to Liu Yi this time was almost used when he helped the barbarians build a city. If he built a city again, he would probably not be able to afford so much money.

"There will be." Liu Yi nodded. The budget has exceeded the standard. Liu Bei is busy with the emperor next year, so it is difficult for him to squeeze out his own side. However, Liu Yi believes that although Zhu Ti may not have much money to get, there is still no problem in building a comprehensive city. With this, it will be no problem to communicate friendly with the barbarians in Zhu Ti's area within this year.

In fact, the so-called barbarians have been semi-Sinic. They have their own totems and beliefs, but they use Han characters and speak more like dialects in Chinese. Therefore, Liu Yi felt that at least in Zhuti, he could take a gentler route and not have to be too strong.

Ma Liang naturally knew what Liu Yi was talking about, but Ma Liang was not very confident about whether he could succeed. The concept of the barbarians in the south was basically equated with the Hu people in the north. The idea that the hearts of non-my races must be different has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is an inherent imprint for the sake of profit.

It was already noon, and the mountains and forests in the distance were still cloudy and mist, making people unable to see the truth. Who would have thought that in that beautiful environment, the danger inside was enough to kill most of the creatures in this world. Perhaps the more beautiful things were, the more dangerous they were, right?

"Husband, it's time to eat early." Lu Lingqi came to the city with her lunch box and shouted to Liu Yi standing on the arrow tower.

"Oh~" Liu Yi responded, looking down at his beautiful wife... It's not entirely true.

The handover process was a harmonious process, but Liu Yi's step had already made Zhu Ti's bigwigs, including Lu Yuan, feel vigilant. They found that the rights in their hands were constantly being weakened and their interests were constantly disappearing. Although Liu Yi did not do anything out of the ordinary, in fact, it had caused huge harm to them.

Just like all the filth hidden in the darkness, they are invisible after all. When the light falls, the things they rely on and proud of will quickly dissipate in the sun, and even the sun does not need to be deliberately targeted at them.

"Together?" Liu Yi looked at Ma Liang and asked with a smile.

"No, Marquis Ting will go, Youchang will come back today, I will eat with him." Ma Liang smiled and shook his head, and after greeting Lu Lingqi, he left.

"I have been in Nanzhong for nearly a year. There has been no war in this year. Nanzhong does not seem to be as chaotic as the outside world." Lu Lingqi and Liu Yi were eating food in the same house. Her skills are now quite good. At least Liu Yi is quite satisfied. Originally, Lu Lingqi was going to come to help Liu Yi with her, but things seemed to be different from what she thought. Lu Lingqi was a little confused. Since that's the case, why not all the family came here?

"Wars without gunpowder are sometimes more dangerous than killing on the battlefield." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled. Now Lu Yuan probably noticed that he sent someone to find Zheng Zhubu, naturally he could not hide it from Liu Yi's eyes and ears, but Lu Yuan could not get into chaos. Now Zhu Ti's situation has been suppressed by Liu Yi. Next, Jianning, Liu Wan, and Yueli are the places that Liu Yi really needs to pay attention to.

"Smoke of gunpowder?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi curiously.

"It's the beacon." Liu Yi thought about it and said with a smile.

Lu Lingqi nodded thoughtfully. In fact, she could also notice something, but she was not in it. She didn't know too much. Liu Yi would not deliberately hide it from her. But as a wife, it is best not to ask about some things. Liu Yi would not harm her, and she was smarter than her. Liu Yi would make the decision on these things.

After eating breakfast, Liu Yi continued to ask Guan Xing to count the number of people. The design of Zhuti New City is much more complicated than the city that was made for the barbarians before. Digging the foundation is not as simple as digging a big hole. The drainage system is now almost the standard configuration of Liu Yi's construction. Many scholars from Jingzhou are not very satisfied with the living conditions in Shu. Unfortunately, Liu Yi has no time to build a city now. At least before the Nanzhong matter is pacified, Liu Yi will not be able to return to Shuzhong. Even if Liu Bei's ceremony of emperorship is absent, let alone helping people build a city.

He also thought about building a city in Nanzhong, but the terrain of Zhuti area is not suitable for building a big city, and the geographical location is not a place where the city needs to be built. Judging from the map, Jianning seems to be more suitable. In addition, there is also road construction, and the transformation of Nanzhong cannot be completed overnight.

The loss of a large amount of labor naturally caused dissatisfaction among the big households in Zhuti, but they obviously did not have time to cause trouble for Liu Yi.

In the winter of the 25th year of Jian'an, in mid-November, the Tanglang Hao family was suddenly killed by the barbarians who had always had good friendship. Three days later, the Zhang family of Hanyang and Wu family also followed in the footsteps of the Hao family. In just half a month, the wealthy family of Zhuti were almost slaughtered by the furious barbarians.

"Marty Ting, something is not good!" Lu Yuan rolled and crawled to Liu Yi's construction site in panic, knelt down in front of Liu Yi, and wailed: "The barbarians have rebelled, they have rebelled!"

"What's going on?" Liu Yi glanced at Lu Yuan and said calmly: "Get up and talk, Xingguo, pour him a bowl of water."

"Here!" Zhang Bao took the water bowl from the barbarian soldiers beside him and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was not polite, and raised his neck and drank all the water in one breath. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Yi: "For some reason, the barbarians around Tanglang, Hanyang and Zhuti suddenly rebelled, and the large households outside the city were almost slaughtered."

"Have the people of the two counties been slaughtered?" Liu Yi asked frowned.

"That's not. These barbarians are just targeting the gentry from all over the country and have not made things difficult for the people." Lu Yuan also felt a little strange when he said this. He didn't know who gave the tax list of the imperial court taxes over the years to the barbarians, which also became the root cause of this barbarian riot. However, this barbarian riot did not hurt the people, and it was impossible to be completely harmed. However, basically, the people suffered little losses. The most serious damage was the large households in Zhuti, who were almost slaughtered.

"I understand, I'll send someone to Jianwei County to transfer General Guan Ping's garrison." Liu Yi nodded and said, "Let's talk about this disaster first."

Lu Yuan felt something was wrong, but at this moment his fear of barbarian rebellion overwhelmed everything. He nodded immediately. With the Han army in charge, he could at least feel more psychologically safe.

Seeing Lu Yuan leaving, Liu Yi stopped him: "Don't be anxious, there is something you have to do if you don't have time at this moment."

"Mr. Ting, please give me instructions." Lu Yuan bowed.

"I inform Zhuti of the big families that I want to build a city here to fight the barbarian army, but money is short. You go and discuss with them. I want 50 million yuan and let them prepare it for me." Liu Yi said calmly.

"This..." Lu Yuan's face was a little dark, 50 million was not a small amount.

"At an extraordinary time, you wouldn't think that such a divine city could stop the barbarian army, right?" Liu Yi looked at Lu Yuan and said calmly: "They can move in this new city as well."

"Here!" Lu Yuan sighed, and finally realized something was wrong in his heart. He could send these messages to the barbarians without knowing it, and who else could convince the barbarians? And only Liu Yi had this reason to do this.

But just as Liu Yi did not point out their dirty things, even if he knew about this kind of thing and had no evidence, he could not say anything randomly. Liu Yi would easily be charged with slandering Shangguan. What's more, they were the ones who suffered the consequences in the end.

Since Liu Yi entered Zhu Ti, all the big families, including Lu Yuan, were eaten by Liu Yi and took all the big families silently. Moreover, he had no responsibility for it. He was really a good method and a cruel thought!

Looking back, he glanced at Liu Yi with some fear. Lu Yuan felt that he could not continue to stay here. If this continues, he would be killed by Liu Yi sooner or later.

"An Guo." Seeing Lu Yuan leave, Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Guan Xing.

"Here!" Guan Xing hurried forward and bowed.

"Take a few people and see if these barbarians can still use them for me. If they can, let them send back the money robbed from each household. If they can't, don't have a conflict with them. Safety first, I have my own concerns!" Liu Yi looked at Guan Xing and said.
