I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Can't the official think of a way? "

"What can be done? Every time the grains produced in the fields are ripe, they will attract the barbarians to fight the autumn wind, and the fruits of hard work all year round become the possessions of others in a blink of an eye. Those barbarians, Ferocious, with the exception of General Xie's red-robed army, other officers and troops fought against it. In all likelihood, nine out of ten, they lost their armor and abandoned their armor. Alas! It would be great if they could grab some food and not hurt anyone. They directly slaughtered the village and took away the women and children." The village's words were all from the bottom of his heart, and there was helplessness and sadness in his words, "It is precisely because of this that the life of the people in Liangzhou is not as good as a year. We are far from here. It’s better in Liangzhou, but in other places far away, people’s lives are even more like today and not tomorrow.”

"If that's the case, why...why don't you guys move out of this place?" Ming Yu was a little difficult to speak, but he still said what was in his heart.

"Hey! The ancestors have been here for generations, and this is the root, and where can we go. In fact, we also know in our hearts that there are soldiers who will protect us ahead. We believe that they can defeat the barbarians. At that time, we will be able to get married. Peacefully, peacefully and peacefully.”

Isn't the people's greatest wish to be safe and secure?

15. Chapter 15

When he came out, Ming Yu's eyes were slightly red, and his mood was very heavy. The more he really got in touch with the people and learned more, the more Ming Yu felt that he had a heavy burden. The people should not carry too much. Most of them are kind and simple, and it is a great blessing to just seek a peaceful life.

Since ancient times, wars have affected innocent people. To really solve the problem at the source, the only way to stop the war is to negotiate peace or defeat the enemy.

"Master Xu, do you know the reason for the war between Dayan and Suixi?" Ming Yu only knew that the disputes between the two countries had a long history, and the people of Dayan hated him to the core. Yan border.

What he has learned now is really too little. No matter how he plans, he must know himself and others before he can deal with it.

Because His Highness was in a bad mood, the people accompanying him did not dare to provoke him, they just followed silently, and Xu Wen was even more cautious and did not dare to come out.

Hearing Ming Yu's question at this time, Xu Wen followed two steps, cupped his hands and said, "Dayan and Suixi are adjacent to each other. They live by grazing, and many of their supplies are extremely scarce. It used to be okay, but it was just a small fight. Only when the grain was harvested in autumn, a small group of barbarians would come to grab some food with jealousy, and then leave after robbing. It's the autumn wind that everyone often talks about."

He paused for a while, and found that the prince was listening very seriously, and continued: "However, in the past few years, there have been natural disasters in Suixi, and I heard that many cattle and sheep were frozen to death, and the Yi people were also frozen to death and starved to death. At that time, Tuoba Hong, the new king of the barbarians, came to the throne. He was very capable and ambitious. In order to divert the sorrow of the barbarians, he launched a war against Dayan. It is for this reason that the barbarians send large armies almost every year to conquer the city and capture a lot of the people of Dayan."

"These abducted people, most of the able-bodied people, are sold as livestock and become slaves, and women, children and children are also sold to the powerful for pleasure."

In this Liangzhou ten rooms and nine empty spaces, except for those who were slaughtered, most of them were taken away as slaves or victims of war.

Xu Wen said slowly, and everyone who heard it gritted their teeth. Ming Yu clenched his fists and sighed in the sky, what are the common people? suffered such a misfortune.

He is now the king of this place, and he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the people in his territory. We must find a way to change this status quo.

Ming Yu looked back at the peaceful and peaceful village not far away. This peacefulness and harmony is just an appearance. I don't know when it will be crushed by the enemy's iron cavalry. I just hope that the next time I come again, the village will have real peace and harmony. .

In the next few days, Ming Yu visited many different villages and learned a lot of things.

Then, Ming Yu returned to the palace and was locked in the study for three whole days. He asked Xu Wen to find a lot of books about Liangzhou and Suixi. question. Fortunately, Xu Wen is indeed a talented person, and he can easily solve many questions. But that's it, Xu Wen is always ready to deal with His Highness's problems, but within a few days, Xu Wen's eye circles have darkened, and his whole person is floating when he walks.

Xu Wen stared at Ming Yu, watching him write and draw on paper, and there were even words that he couldn't understand, or that he had never seen before. Xu Wen is conceited that he is a little talented. He can even know most of Suiwen from Suixi, but he doesn't know any of Mingyu's simple strokes.

It's a pity that Ming Yu didn't know what he was thinking, so he just wrote down the vague thoughts in his heart, slowly improved it, and repeatedly deduced the feasibility of the method. There is also a calculation formula to calculate how to make your own method save manpower and material resources.

After Ming Yu rubbed his brows and stopped writing, Xu Wencai asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Ming Yu then remembered that Xu Wen had come early in the morning, and after asking two questions, he completely forgot about him. Xu Wen didn't leave either, just stayed silently and didn't make a sound to disturb him. Although he didn't know what Duan Wang was busy with, since he would be asked questions anytime, anywhere, he would be on standby at any time.

Ming Yu figured out some things at this time, and he was quite happy, and said with a smile: "If you want the people to live a stable life, you must first find a way to deal with internal troubles. Here I think of ways to deal with bandits and invade foreign bandits. Why don't you, my lord, see if there is any omission?"

Xu Wen was stunned, what did His Royal Highness Duan Wang just say? The way to deal with thieves and bandits? Could it be that His Highness has been sleeping and eating for the past few days just to come up with such a solution? However, this thief, bandit and bandits have been in trouble for a long time. It is not that no one has come up with a solution, but that there is nothing that can be done. It is really incomprehensible.

Now, His Royal Highness Duan Wang actually said that there is a way? How could Xu Wen not be stunned? It took him a long time to find his voice, "Your Highness, is what you said true? Is there really a solution?"

Ming Yu picked up the neat stack of papers on the table full of plans, nodded and said, "Of course it's true." After speaking, he handed the paper to Xu Wen. "You look at it first, and then read it if you have any questions."

Xu Wen took it carefully. From the beginning, it seemed that, to be honest, His Highness's handwriting could not be said well, it was curved like a dragon on the ground, and he could only barely recognize it.

At the beginning, Xu Wen read quickly. He was erudite and remembered, and he could remember seven, seven, eight, eight with just a glance. However, after turning two pages, his reading speed slowed down significantly. From one eye to ten lines to one word for one sentence, I can't bear to let go of the pauses between the words.

At the end, Xu Wen's eyes were bright, and the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden for a long time. He paced around twice, and then asked: "Your Highness, this... this method, can it really work?" Ming Yu replied, he clenched his fists and waved it, and said excitedly, "If it can be done, it will definitely be done."

Ming Yu smiled without saying a word, took a sip of the cold tea on the table, and immediately his whole face was wrinkled with bitterness. He then remembered that he had ordered Qingping to serve extra strong tea, which refreshed his mind. Wake up is very good.

Xu Wen fell into deep thought, he carefully pondered the method on Ming Yu's paper, deduced it in his head, and then bowed to Ming Yu, "His Royal Highness's plan will definitely solve the current trouble, and the lower official will replace the common people. Thank you, Your Highness."

Ming Yu helped him up and said with a smile: "The people under the rule of the territory are the responsibility of the king, so why should I thank you. But first, what is your opinion?"

Xu Wen pondered for a while, then organized a sentence before saying: "Let's talk about the first method mentioned by Your Highness, one of which is to let the people in the village patrol every day, and even build a belvedere. If there is an enemy situation, you can notify the people in advance, and let the people do a good job. Preparation for an enemy attack. Second, let everyone dig the winding tunnels and connect each household secretly, so that everyone can hide when the enemy is attacked, and they can also hide the surplus food and financial items in every household in the tunnel. In this way, if there are thieves and bandits coming, there will be no loss, and the people can hide in it in advance, so that the enemy will be empty and nothing will be gained. The method is indeed wonderful!" He patted his hands in admiration, and really admired Ming Yu's ability to come up with such a method. But he paused for a while, and then asked his own question, "It's just that if the enemy finds a clue and uses the method of flooding the fire with water, can the safety of the people be guaranteed?"

As soon as Xu Wen came, he asked about the idea, proving that he thought about his plan carefully. Ming Yu is very satisfied, his head is really smart, Xu Wen's performance these days, Ming Yu sees it, he is really a rare talent. Before, he was only a petty official in the prefect's yamen who looked after the documents and files, and he was also a talented person.

Ming Yu nodded, "These must be considered in advance, the tunnel is like a labyrinth, and the entrance to the tunnel is set in a hidden place, which is not easy for ordinary people to find. , If the enemy is alone, and the two fists are hard to beat the four hands, the people can easily deal with it. If the fire is flooded, the design of the smoke and drainage should be done in the tunnel, so that people must be safe inside. "

"As for the builders of the tunnels
