The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied."

"Your Highness is so generous. Not only did he allocate us a house, he also gave us a settlement allowance and even arranged a living for us. How could I not be satisfied?"

Li Qian said quickly.

"Really? And you even arranged a livelihood for Second Uncle?"

Li Wanyue was a little surprised and said that she didn't know about this.

"Hahaha, yes, your second uncle is now working as a bookkeeper at an inn in the city, and he earns two taels of silver a month."

"Your two cousins also have jobs. One works in a blacksmith shop, and the other just joined the army. They also receive money every month."

"Your two cousins-in-law also work in a tailor shop and have incomes."

……

Li Qian said happily.

"Yeah, that's great."

Li Wanyue said with a look of relief on her face.

"What about the tribesmen outside the city?"

Li Wanyue continued to ask.

"Don't worry, everything is fine. They are busy reclaiming the wasteland now."

"Hulan is a really good place. There is land everywhere. It can be turned into fertile fields with a little cultivation."

"Also, His Highness said that all wasteland reclaimed by the people would belong to them in the future. His Highness was also worried about the lack of harvest this year and next year, so he distributed two years' worth of food all at once. In addition, each household received a cow and two sheep."

Li Qian said with emotion.

When he first decided to come to Hulun, he was a little worried.

But looking back now, the original decision was definitely a wise one.

"Well, that's good, I feel relieved now.

Li Wanyue said with a smile.

"By the way, Uncle, when you write home, please ask if there are any other relatives who want to come."

"It doesn't have to be someone from the Earth Tribe, anyone else can be one too."

"As long as you are willing to come, we welcome you."

Li Wanyue thought about it and continued.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."

"Who would refuse such a good offer? I'm afraid everyone would be scrambling to get it."

Li Qian patted his chest and promised.

"Well, I'll trouble you, uncle."

"Okay, now that everything is settled, we should go."

Li Wanyue stood up and said.

"Your Highness, please take your time. I will escort you out."

Li Qian hurried forward and said respectfully.

Li Wanyue nodded, then left with Ning Quan.

During this time, Li Wanyue was the only one talking, and Ning Quan did not say a word.

Given Ning Quan's status, it's really difficult for him to speak.

Li Wanyue of course knew this, so she was the one asking the questions.

I have to say that Wanyue is really considerate and always thinks about Ning Quan, making Ning Quan feel very comfortable.

"Husband, thank you."

On the way back, Li Wanyue said to Ning Quan with gratitude.

She had been worried about the resettlement of her tribesmen after their arrival, but now she can finally feel relieved.

"Fool, tell me what to say and thank you."

"They have come from afar to seek refuge, and this is what they deserve."

Ning Quan looked at her and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Li Wanyue nodded sweetly in agreement, leaning her head on Ning Quan's shoulder, looking like a little bird.

"Your Highness, should the matter mentioned by Master Man just now be dealt with promptly?"

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang, who was following behind him, asked.

"Well, it has to be arranged in time."

"Constructing the city is of utmost importance and cannot be delayed. I will send someone to purchase materials immediately."

Ning Quan said after a little thought.

"That's perfect. I was planning to send people to the interior to recruit people. Let's do it together."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Well, that's good. Let's go together."

"In addition, we must promote it widely to attract more merchants. Only in this way can Hulan prosper."

Ning Quan then added.

"Your Highness is wise, I obey your command."

Zhuge Liang smiled.

...........

When Ning Quan and Zhuge Liang were discussing

The court of the Western Xiongnu Chanyu fell into chaos.

Zuo Xian Wang returned in defeat, which made Huhanye Chanyu extremely angry.

"Shan Yu, I deserve death."

Inside the royal tent, Zuo Xian Wang knelt before Huhanye and pleaded guilty.

"Lord Zuoxian, you are my right-hand man and the most powerful warrior of my clan. Why did you suffer such a terrible defeat?"

Looking at Hu Yanlie kneeling on the ground, Huhanye said angrily.

At this moment, several leaders of various tribes and several Xiongnu nobles were standing in the tent.

They all stared at Hu Hanqi.

"Chanyu, I..."

Huhanqi's face turned red and he was unable to defend himself for a moment.

He really had no excuse for leading 100,000 Xiongnu warriors to attack Hulan County, which had only a few thousand garrisons.

As a result, they were killed and fled back, leaving their weapons and armor behind, and the leader of the Donghu tribe was also killed.

"Why, no reason?"

"Could it be that the Ninth Prince has three heads and six arms?"

Shanyu said with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Chanyu, it was my negligence. I didn't anticipate that Hulan had heavy cavalry, which led to the defeat."

Hu Hanqi said with his head lowered.

"what?"

"Hulan has heavy cavalry?"

When everyone heard Hu Hanqi's words, they were all shocked and some of them didn't believe it.

It is well known that heavy cavalry is the king of the battlefield.

However, heavy cavalry was extremely difficult and expensive to train and equip.

Training one heavy cavalryman is equivalent to training hundreds of light cavalrymen, and such a cost is simply not something that ordinary forces can afford.

Even Daqian and the Xiongnu did not have heavy cavalry, so how could Hulan have heavy cavalry?

"It is absolutely true. I was defeated by the surprise attack of the Hulan heavy cavalry."

Hu Hanqi gritted his teeth.

Then he recounted the details.

After listening to Huhanqi's narration, the tent fell into silence.

Did Hulan County really have heavy cavalry?

This is incredible.

"Hu Hanqi, are you sure the enemy has dispatched 1,500 heavy cavalry?"

"Did you read that correctly?"

Shanyu Huhanye said with a frown.

"Five hundred heavy cavalry, plus one thousand knight squires, to be exact."

"In addition, there are light cavalry, numbering at least two thousand."

Hu Hanqi gritted his teeth.

"Hi~"

After hearing Hu Hanqi's report, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

If what Hu Hanqi said is true, it would be terrifying.

Hulan actually had heavy cavalry and a thousand knight attendants.

If we add the light cavalry, that would be four thousand elite troops!

If so, they will surely become a formidable enemy in the future.

"If that's the case, then you deserved your defeat."

"If it were me, I would definitely lose without any preparation."

After a long time, Hu Hanqi recovered and sighed.

"Chanyu, it is my fault that I am incompetent. I am willing to accept any punishment."

"But please give me a chance to avenge my humiliation."

Hu Hanqi knelt down and begged.

"Yes, this revenge must be avenged. The blood of our Xiongnu warriors cannot be shed in vain."

A tribal leader said angrily.

"Chanyu, please let me go! I am willing to join forces with Zuo Xian Wang."

Another tribal leader asked for instructions.

"Of course I must avenge myself, but not now."

"You all know the current situation. Maodun Chanyu is leading his army, and the Right Wise King is short on troops, so he can only hold out."

"You are all aware of Maodun's immense strength. Only by uniting all the forces of the various tribes can we confront him and ensure victory."

"So until Maodun is defeated, the Hulan issue will be put on hold."

Hu Hanqi said calmly.
