I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

After Liu Tan heard it, there was no reaction on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time. Li Xi stepped forward a little worried: "Your Highness?"

Liu Tan put down the pen in his hand and said calmly, "It's nothing."

However, Li Xi saw that the pen that was originally in his hand had been broken in two.

Li Xi's heart skipped a beat. In fact, the news was a bit heavy for him, but it wasn't particularly angry.

If you have fought with these foreigners many times, you will know what kind of virtue they are. Unlike the Han people, the first thing they do when occupying a place is to massacre the aborigines there, in order to be able to occupy it more firmly. Take a step back and say It is also for the sake of avoiding internal troubles when the opponent comes to compete for this place again.

Li Xi was used to life and death, and this kind of thing would make him angry, but not too angry.

It's just that his highness doesn't look very good now.

In fact, he also understands that Liu Tan is angry. After all, he is young and has never suffered such a loss. In the past, he was the one who beat others.

Liu Tan asked, "If you send troops now."

"Your Highness, absolutely not." Li Xi knew that Liu Tan must have the idea of ​​sending troops ahead of time, but the war cannot be rushed, they have already made a plan before, if the main thing to change now is that the supply of food and grass will not be available , Now those are not enough to fight and consume.

Liu Tan tightly pursed his lips and did not speak. Li Xi knew at a glance that he needed to be persuaded. He couldn't help sighing and said, "Your Highness, Liaodong County has been occupied for three months. They are going to kill... and they have killed almost the same. Civilians will no longer be massacred easily."

The population of the occupied area is also very important. If it is not possible, those people can still serve as slaves, and it is a pity to kill them all, as long as the number of the other party cannot carry out large-scale effective resistance.

Liu Tan knew this truth very well in his heart, but he asked: "What about the rest?"

Li Xi said seriously: "If you send troops hastily now, maybe more soldiers will die due to lack of preparation."

The harm between the two powers is the lesser, and when it is doomed to be unable to take care of both, Li Xi must first keep his soldiers.

And if you think about it coldly, if you can capture more Wuhuan people, then the overall population will be the same.

In fact, Li Xi didn’t pay attention to Liu Tan’s so-called change of plan and food and grass. He has money, so he can buy food at a high price. If nothing else, the bean products in the northern border country should be able to supply worthy.

But he said that this would cause more soldiers to die, and Liu Tan knew that this could not be done.

He didn't know how many people were left in Liaodong County. If the Wuhuan Boxi clan killed all the remaining civilians directly during the attack, the loss would not be worth the gain.

Liu Tan bowed his head and pondered for a long time and said, "If that's the case, then simply change the plan. The plan of landing from the sea remains the same, and then divide the troops to enter Wuhuan from along the Rushui."

Li Xi didn't talk nonsense, and immediately responded: "Yes."

In fact, before he came, the mission Liu Che gave him was to assist the King of the Northern Territory to drive Wuhuan out of Liaodong County and take Liaodong County down.

However, he also knew that when something like this happened now, His Royal Highness would definitely not be able to bear this grievance because of his youthful vigor, and he would have to find his place no matter what.

As long as they are careful not to hit Fuyu country, the size of Fuyu country is not comparable to that of Wuhuan.

But he believed that His Royal Highness would not be so frenzied.

After receiving such news, Liu Tan was in no mood to do anything else, so he looked at the map again, and then prepared to speed up his pace.

After staying in Guangyang County for a few days, he left there and handed over the matter to other people. As soon as he returned, he saw the sheriff of Liaoxi County frowning, as if he was troubled. He couldn't help it. Zhu asked, "What happened again?"

Liu Tan felt that no matter what happened now, he could calm down, anyway, it would not be worse than the news from Liaodong County.

The Sheriff of Liaoxi County said: "Your Highness, winter is about to begin, and there is a large army here this year. I am afraid that there is not enough firewood for heating."

Liu Tan wondered, "You still use firewood here? Don't you use coal?"

The Sheriff of Liaoxi County was silent for a while before saying: "Too few have been transported. After all, the journey is long and the road is inconvenient."

The corner of Liu Tan's mouth twitched: "Okay, I understand, don't worry too much, I will send someone to bring it over, you can show me the quantity that the common people need to use later, and try to bring it over as much as possible."

Alas, this is another unexpected expense. War is indeed a career that burns money. It is true that he has a lot of money, but it is also true that he spends money like water.

The sheriff of Liaoxi County actually meant this, but he was too embarrassed to say it. After all, Liaoxi County didn’t have much money to support such transportation, and let the King of the North spend money on transportation...Why?

What's more, this time it can be transported by the King of the Northern Territory, so what about the next time?Coal is used every winter, so next time we can't let the King of the North spend money to transport it.

If the sheriff of Liaoxi County is a bit unscrupulous, he will report a little more, hoard some coal, and wait for the next year to use it.

However, he thought about it for a while, and His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory is not a fool. If the number is obviously abnormal, he will definitely find it.

So the sheriff of Liaoxi County not only didn't increase it, but even reduced the amount needed by each household to a minimum, just keeping the standard that everyone can't freeze to death.

But even so, Liu Tan was surprised by the number he reported: "Why does your county use more things than half of the northern border country?"

The sheriff of Liaoxi County was very nervous immediately: "Your Highness, I have learned from you, I... I have never added a penny, and this is already the minimum amount."

Liu Tan also felt that the other party would not lie to him in such an obvious place, so he couldn't help but look strange: "Why did you consume so much?"

He turned to Miao Rui and said, "Send someone to investigate what's going on."

Miao Rui immediately took the order and left. The governor of Liaoxi County was a little uneasy. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong. There shouldn't be any problems, right?

Liu Tan didn't act too harshly, and stayed with the sheriff of Liaoxi County to have a meal. The people Miao Rui sent were very fast. After he came back, Miao Rui immediately came to report and said: "His Royal Highness, Liaoxi County The county will indeed use more coal because there is no heated kang here.”

The governor of Liaoxi County asked in a daze, "What is a kang?"

Only then did Liu Tan understand: "So that's the case, I ignored it."

The kang has already been popularized in the northern border country, so when Liu Tan calculates the coal needed in Liaoxi County, he will subconsciously calculate according to the situation in the northern border country.

However, there is no heated kang here, and they don’t even know what a heated kang is, so they use a wave of coal when cooking, and another wave when heating, can they not waste it?

He turned to the Sheriff of Liaoxi County and said: "This thing is very simple, wait until tomorrow, I will take you to Xincheng to have a look."

The progress of the construction of the new city is not slow. This time is different from the original one. Before, the city wall was built first to resist the Huns. Now, the house is built first, so that everyone can live in it first, and then build other things little by little.

The next day, Liu Tan took the sheriff of Liaoxi County to have a look at the newly built house.

The governor of Liaoxi County was very excited when he saw the new house. Although the house was completely different from the one he knew, it looked clean and tidy at first glance, and the most important thing was that it looked very strong.

Before he went in, he hammered the wall hard, turned to look at Liu Tan and asked, "Your Highness, if it snows heavily, will this house collapse?"

Liu Tan was slightly taken aback, he really hadn't thought about this question, he said with some hesitation: "As long as the snow is not particularly heavy, it should not collapse. If there is heavy snow that can collapse this house, then you should worry that the snow will block the door if it is too heavy." It makes people unable to get out."

After hearing this, the sheriff of Liaoxi County was very happy and said, "That's really good, really good."

He looked at the outer wall of the house again and asked, "Is this made of... cement? Is this... available in Yan State? Is it expensive?"

Liu Tan is also not sure: "There should be. If it is produced locally, it is not very expensive, but it needs to consume natural resources, and this is not entirely made of cement. The main body is still red bricks, which require special soil... Forget it, I'll ask someone to give the document to Dou Sibo later, and let him send someone to look for it."

In the future, many places in Yan State may need Daxing construction. Real estate has always been the easiest thing to stimulate the economy. The only thing to worry about is that there are not so many people who need it.

However, Liu Tan has become familiar with the situation in Yan Country a lot these days. It is true that the place is relatively poor overall, but it does not mean that there are no rich households.

If he really built a more advanced house, or made a gimmick or something, he would not believe that these wealthy households would not pay.

Anyway, if you want to boost the economy in a short period of time, you must pay from these wealthy households.

Dou Sibo has been by Liu Tan's side all the time. After hearing this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do it as soon as possible."

Liu Tan is not picky about his work attitude. The so-called limited ability is compared with Huo Guang. As the Prime Minister of Yan Kingdom...for now, it is quite enough.

After they entered, both the sheriff of Liaodong County and Dou Sibo were taken aback.

They didn't notice when they were outside, but after they came in, they realized that the windows of this house were all inlaid glass!

No matter how backward Yan Guo is, he still has some understanding of the glass that has caught fire recently, let alone Dou Sibo.

The sheriff of Liaoxi County asked with trembling hands, "Is...is this too extravagant?"

Liu Tan glanced at it and said, "It's not extravagant. Didn't you see that the glass is not a whole piece?"

The rooms here are made of discarded broken glass. Generally, this kind of glass will be remade in the northern border country, but it is not cost-effective to buy these broken glass from other places and transport it back. Raw materials are expensive.

Before Liu Tan, he simply asked people to buy all kinds of broken glass in Yan State to inlay these houses.

He would also like to get some whole glass for these houses, but that would be too expensive.

Now the way of spending money like running water scared Liu Tan. You must know that he was the one who harmed several boxes of pearls without blinking his eyes. Then he saw for the first time how the army of [-] burned military expenses.

Now he finally understood why the big man emptied the treasury after beating the Huns a few times.

That is the treasury after being cultivated by Wen Jingzhi. Now it seems that Sang Hongyang, who can turn the tide and stabilize the economy, is indeed a capable person.

Therefore, no matter where you look forward, broken glass is the most suitable. At most, it is not so beautiful, and the light transmission effect is a little worse, but it is better than others.

Moreover, the broken glass is inlaid on the window edge, and the window edge is made of wood. If other people move in here as a new city in the future, if they want to replace the whole piece of glass at that time, they can simply remove the broken glass window.

Liu Tan waved to them and said, "Okay, don't look there, come on, this is the kang."

The sheriff of Liaoxi County and Dou Sibo followed immediately. The first thing they saw was the stove outside, and then the kang inside.

It is not difficult to see such things as Kang in the country of Yan. At the beginning, the sheriff of Liaoxi County did not see any difference between this and ordinary people's homes, so he asked in a daze, "What's wrong with this?"

Liu Tan didn't explain much, and asked people to light a fire in the stove outside.

Not long after, he asked Dou Sibo and the Sheriff of Liaoxi County to touch the kang and asked, "Is it hot?"

The governor of Liaoxi County was a little surprised: "There is really a temperature, this...is it connected to the stove outside?"

Liu Tan beckoned someone to bring over the blueprint and said, "This is the structure of a kang. Generally, when cooking outside, the kang can be heated up. The kang can also heat the room while dissipating heat. In fact, it is similar to the earth dragon. It’s almost the same, but it’s more economical for ordinary people.”

Burn it when cooking three meals a day. If you have a little money, you can keep a small fire in the stove. If you want to save money, the heat of the kang can last for a while after a meal. It is better than burning wood. Or take it hard.

The sheriff of Liaoxi County is a relatively down-to-earth official. He understood the benefits of this kang after a second thought.

The most important thing is that this thing does not cost money!

Those who are very poor are fine, but the civilians who can survive only need to renovate the kang at home. Just after the autumn harvest is over, every household has time to renovate. As long as the remodeling can be completed before winter, this winter should be Can be much better!

Liu Tan personally brought the sheriff of Liaoxi County here because he was afraid that he would not understand the benefits of the kang.

This thing is dispensable for the Guannei area. Anyway, even in winter, it is not particularly cold there, but it is really useful in the northern border country and Yan country.

The governor of Liaoxi County felt as if he had found a treasure, and quickly said: "I will order you to make them all change."

Liu Tan turned to look at Dou Sibo and said: "You can take care of other places, but don't worry too much, I don't have time to fight with them now."

He had to quickly subdue Wuhuan, and he had better try to do it next spring.

With the construction of the deep-water port, Liu Tan directly asked Li Xi to select some soldiers who were familiar with water.

The results were not very good. There were quite a few people who were familiar with water, but those who were familiar with water were generally familiar with fresh water, and basically no one had ever been in the sea.

Li Xi couldn't help but said: "If you can't do it, you can recruit soldiers in the nearby fishing village."

The people in the fishing village must be good at water, right?How can you rely on the sea for food if your water quality is not good?

Liu Tan shook his head and said nothing. He had learned before that the lives of the people in those fishing villages were already very bad. They all said that they depended on the sea to eat the sea, but relying on the sea to eat the sea meant that they did not have enough fertile land to grow food and Vegetables, once seafood cannot be sold or harvested enough, they will not be able to eat these things.

Of course there are seafood, so it is impossible to starve to death, but those people are more or less sick.

What's more, he has [-] troops in his hands, and he will be recruited later. How will he explain it to the court?

Obviously, a hundred thousand army is enough to crush the opponent on land, so why do they have to go by sea?

Liu Tan knew very well that it was useless to tell the court officials that the people in Liaodong County would be very dangerous. The people were just a symbol in their eyes. They looked at the whole, and the part of Liaodong County was destined to be abandoned. of.

Liu Tan said: "Anyway, the deep-water port is still under construction, so you should take someone there to get acquainted first."

The weather there is not too cold, and there is no problem getting into the water.

Li Xi was suddenly worried: "If Kechen leaves, Your Highness is here..."

Liu Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Wei Deng and Li Ling are still guarding here with their elite team. What are you worried about?"

In fact, if there is real danger, even Li Xi is useless here. How can the soldiers under him compare to the elite regiment?

As soon as Li Xi thought about it, he took the people away very simply.

And after he left, Liu Tan glanced at the calendar and found that Zhengdan was only three months away, and before that he still had a very important thing to do - find a sheriff for Pinggang County .
