Chapter 675: The Eighth Eruption of the Economic Blockade
After the war, everything was in ruins.
After a period of busyness, Sizhou City finally regained its vitality once again.
The trauma caused by cold weapons to the city is far less than that caused by hot weapons. Although the battle in the city of Yizhou was fierce, the buildings did not suffer much damage. After the corpses were disposed of, there was another heavy rain, and the blood stains in the city were washed away. Empty.
The traces of the war have been eliminated, and there is a trace of freshness after the rain in the air, as if there has never been a war.
In the city of Yizhou, the people who had fled heard that the war was extinguished and returned one after another to devote themselves to the construction of Yizhou.
Early in the morning, Li Zhen climbed out of bed. He had just experienced a battle. Not only did Li Zhen not feel tired, but he was in high spirits. He knew that the battle that had just passed laid the foundation for the establishment of the steel base in Dizhou and even Panzhihua. , the vitality of the Yi people in Langqiongzhao was severely damaged, and they no longer continued to cause trouble for themselves in a short period of time.
Although the Thirty-sixth Village of the Yi people in Sizhou were still full of hostility towards the Tang army, without the threat of Langqiong Zhao, they could not make any big waves.
Next, we should focus on building the Panzhihua base.
I opened the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain. I felt relaxed and happy. Speaking of which, the climate in Yizhou is really good. It is already October, but it is still very hot here. Construction is still very difficult under such conditions. suitable.
"Is the Emperor here?" A voice came from outside the door, and Li Zhen saw that it was Lu Chengqing.
Li Zhen thought that the old man Lu Chengqing was very energetic.
"Lu Aiqing, you are in good spirits for coming to see me so early. I will give you a wife and a house in a few days."
Lu Chengqing's old face turned red. Speaking of which, Lu Chengqing was indeed a bit lecherous. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he had six wives and beautiful concubines at home, and gave birth to more than a dozen babies. Just a few years ago, his sixth room His wife also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a boy. This old man is really going strong with age.
Hearing what the emperor said, Lu Chengqing felt happy, thinking to himself that if the emperor granted marriage, it would be a great honor.
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqing quickly bowed and said, "Old minister, I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness."
Li Zhen grinned and said in her heart that she was just teasing Old Man Lu. Unexpectedly, Old Man Lu was not ashamed but proud of it and actually took it seriously.
Jun Wu is joking, it seems that he really wants to find a wife for this old man in the future. Hehe, he is sure to have the wedding banquet.
"I said Lu Aiqing, what's the matter with you coming to see me so early?" Li Zhen decided to talk about business.
Lu Chengqing said quickly: "Your Majesty, the city of Yizhou has been cleaned up, and the people who fled have returned to the city one after another. However, we are now seriously short of manpower, and the Panzhihua base may not be established in a short time."
"Oh? I remember that we hired a group of engineering and technical personnel from Liaodong Prefecture for you a few months ago. Why are you still short of manpower?"
"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of technical personnel now. What is lacking are workers. The construction of Panzhihua requires a large number of workers. However, there are not many Tang people in Yizhou, and there are barbarians who make trouble from time to time. Some of the facilities we brought to Panzhihua are often stolen by barbarians. , so that the progress of the project has been seriously affected.¡±
"We are already short of manpower, and we have to send a large number of manpower to guard against the barbarians, so the progress of the project is very slow."
"Well, dear, what do you think?" Li Zhen asked.
Lu Chengqing said: "In my opinion, it is best to spend a lot of money to recruit some construction workers from the mainland to speed up the construction progress."
"How many people do you need?"
"At least thirty thousand people."
"Thirty thousand people? How many young people are there in Sizhou in total? If we introduce construction workers from the mainland, the cost will be huge. The food, clothing, housing and wages of each worker will be a big expense. Originally, Panzhihua The base does not have much funds. If it is consumed like this, not only will there be a huge gap in funds, but it will also cause huge waste." Li Zhen said with a yawn.
"This I know this too, but there is currently no other good way"
"I have a good idea." Li Zhen said.
"What advice does the emperor have?" Lu Chengqing asked.
Li Zhen said: "There are hundreds of thousands of Yi people in Yizhou. Many of these Yi people are young and strong, and the infrastructure construction of the base does not require much technology. If these Yi people are recruited to work in Panzhihua, it will be You can save a lot of expenses, and you can also use the benefits toThe Yi people were tied to our chariots, so that the Yi people in Sizhou would become our help instead of a hidden danger. "
Lu Chengqing smiled bitterly: "The emperor has said that the old minister has also thought about it. Speaking of it, these Yi people are hard-working and can work hard for only a small amount of wages. They are indeed very good workers, and they save the need to recruit workers from the mainland. At a huge cost, the old minister also asked people to recruit Yi people, but most of these Yi people are now slaves and there are few free people. They have to obey the orders of tribal leaders, and these Yi tribe leaders are very important to us in the Tang Dynasty. They are hostile, but they are attracted to the barbarians such as Lang Qiongzhao, so it is difficult to recruit people."
Li Zhen chuckled and said, "Just because we couldn't recruit people before, doesn't mean we can't recruit people now."
"What did the emperor say?" Lu Chengqing couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Zhen yawned again, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The Yi people in Yizhou and the Yi people in Langqiongzhao are of the same race. Naturally, my heart is towards the foreign barbarians, but now, the Yi people in Langqiongzhao have been defeated by us. , the Yi people in Yizhou have also been hit to a certain extent. They will inevitably reconsider the path they want to take in the future. After all, Yizhou is our land of the Tang Dynasty. If they want to survive in Yizhou, foreign barbarians cannot rely on it. Yes, Lang Qiongzhao has no ability to help them, so they can only deal with us, Datang."
"For example, the salt and tea that the Yi people in Yizhou need depend on our Tang Dynasty. If they don't listen to us, there's no need to do anything. We just need to impose an economic blockade on them and let them retreat. , and then we negotiate with them, the effect will be much better."
"Economic blockade? The emperor's word is really new, but it is indeed a clever move. Now the salt and tea used by these barbarians must be purchased from us. Using these materials to control these barbarians will indeed be effective. This way there is no need to use force. The barbarians will succumb, and the emperor's clever plan is a good way to subjugate the enemy's army without a fight."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Then pass on the order. From now on, no one in our Tang Dynasty is allowed to do business with the Yi people in Yizhou. If anyone is found to be transporting supplies to the Yi people in Neizhou, then he will be punished." Behead!¡±
"My dear, just watch, in less than half a month, the Yi people in Sizhou will definitely change!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
