"I worked, I worked, and the river sand dug up last year was paved on the road and caulked."

While Bi Gou and the others were eating, the light rain stopped.

When the days of rest and learning to write were over, the Southwestern captives pushed wheelbarrows, pickaxes and shovels to soak in the sand by the river.

The river sand dug up before the arrival of last winter was cleaned up by the way, and the silt was used to fertilize the fields, and the river sand was put together.

In winter, it was hard to freeze, and after a rain, it was still hard and frosty inside.

It is necessary to use a pickaxe to plan, large pieces after large pieces, put them on a wheelbarrow, and push them to the gravel road.

After winter, the gravel pavement is bulging in some places, and in other places it sinks as soon as the rain falls.

It must be leveled with sand and sand and scabs, otherwise it will accumulate water and continue to sink, becoming a depression.

The people had finished weaving cotton and weaving sorghum stalks, and helped build roads while there was nothing to do.

The imperial court provided free soup and brown bread and pickles.

The people can't get paid, and they are conscious, and those who are willing to repair will repair.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion lost their mediocrity and harmony, and felt that they had taken advantage of it, so they hurriedly returned to the court.

Of course, the captives can't be idle, they are in better health than when they fought with the Tang army.

To put it bluntly, when they were soldiers, the food was not as good as when they were prisoners, and the Li family Zhuangzi gave them enough food.

The Khitan captives were once again in charge of management, their families came, and now they belonged to employment, and they didn't feel like they were captives.

Leaving a group of people, returning to the Khitan to help with spring plowing and trade arrangements, with knowledge, experience, and planning.

A small number of the Sixteen Guards were sent to take care of it, and for every hundred captives, it was basically three people watching.

The captives had no other ideas, worked hard, learned knowledge, and hoped to become an official when they returned.

Those who didn't want to go back told the situation at home to the Li family Zhuangzi, and the Li family Zhuangzi went to the southwest region to find someone and bring their family out.

The latest news shows that more than 2,000 families have arrived at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers in the southwest region are in charge.

When the weather is warmer, they will go south along the Yangtze River, take the canal to the Yellow River, and arrive.

When they arrived at the house, they were given a building to live in, and they could not live in the shacks and tents they had built.

Others are very angry, they were captured, and their wives and children are with others.

These people hold their breath and work hard, hoping to go back one day and take it back.

Obviously, let them rebel and they won't rebel, there is nowhere to run.

Even if there is a chance to grab a horse, a three-horse that can run through the feather forest flying and ride in turns?

Sprint to the side of the mountain and take the land route, over the mountains and mountains, Qinling, Yue, how many people want to survive in Qinling?

Or go all the way to the west and take the plank road, and the plank road people won't stop you?

Therefore, they had pickaxes and shovels and had no other ideas.

I just hope that the person in charge of guarding them will give them a good evaluation in the notebook, accumulate more points, and exchange for more resources.

……

"It's not the right time to build roads now, but it's too late to keep up."

Li Yi watched the people on the Zhuangzi plough on the dirt on the side of the cement road and estimated the situation.

At the beginning of spring, the road was repaired and leveled, and the rain increased and the temperature rose, and the repair continued.

If it is not repaired now, the amount of work in the future will be large, and the people will be farming and will not have time.

At the moment, I know that I can't do my best work, but I still have to do it.

After repairing, wait for some repetition, and then repair it is simple.

There is no need to build roads in Zhuangzi, all cement roads are used, and places are set aside on both sides of the road.

Turn the manure in, and after a few days, plant the seeds of the flowers, and after summer you can see the flowers, but there are no shrubs.

Song De and the palace maids and eunuchs stood by to listen and learn.

Learning purpose, knowing that roads should not be built immediately, but also roads.

Executive orders may not always be consistent with the actual situation, and many seemingly unreasonable executive orders have special considerations behind them.

Of course, this consideration does not include people's grain when they see that they have harvested it, so they push it to others.

Behind these considerations are bureaucrats, not people's livelihoods.

The real consideration is to see the flood rushing by, and actively organize the people to replenish the seedlings, or change to other crops.

I know that it's late, I know that other crops are not good enough, but it's better than being so idle, and I can increase my income by one more point.

To do our best to get four points of loss and compensation for the people is administrative flexibility.

The same is true now, knowing that you still have to repair it later, but if you don't take the opportunity to repair it, and repair it later, it will cause people to lose work.

Don't the people know? They're like picking up the ground, and it's better to do it than not to do it at all.

Li Yi said these words to Song De and the palace maids and eunuchs, this is called administration, this is called people's livelihood.

"Like a war, with righteousness, with odd wins, in terms of administration, it is difficult to win oddly, it is better to act upright, try to give the people a little help."

Li Yi said that he went to the river to see the situation of the river's civilization.

Due to the weather, the upper reaches of the Yellow River have not yet opened, but there are ice flowing downstream.

If the upstream river is fully opened, and a few fields still do not work, there will be flooding.

At first, it was fought with artillery, and then the blasting technology was good enough to use blasting.

It's really not good, it's better to use artillery, and the kinetic energy effect of the cannonball is the greatest.

Li Yi didn't bloom the bomb, and he blew up the ice in the weather, but it had no effect.

Therefore, if he thinks that Ling Xun can come, he will try to drill the hole and set the gunpowder to blast, a little more dense, just blow it loose, and more gunpowder.

Otherwise, Ling Xun will rush the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

There are also Xiaoice lings in the water, and the irregular shapes collide back and forth, flowing down the water.

"What's the news from Lantian County?" Li Yi looked at the river and asked.

"No, the ice downstream has also been washed away, and the river is better over there, and it was cleared in the fall."

Song De knew what the proprietor was asking, Lantian County was the county that Zhuangzi focused on, with a connection of water and many industries.

"Hukou Waterfall, any news?" Li Yi asked for another place.

"Yes, our people have finished building the land boat there, and now the ice at the mouth of the waterfall has been washed down, and the big ice on it has not yet been seen, saying that it will take ten days."

Song De immediately replied that it was not easy for him to be in charge.

"Arrange things that should be arranged, don't learn from Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's useless to exhaust yourself to death."

Li Yi glanced back at Song De, satisfied, but not satisfied.

So many deputies, with me, I ask you, you let the deputy answer, can I still look down on you?

Song De grinned: "It's someone else's care, I happened to take a look at it and remember it." ”

'Buzz~~' There was a sudden movement in the sky, and a large flock of pigeons flew with whistles, circling back and forth.

Some flew behind, and when they drew an arc, they threw out, and quickly flapped their wings twice to return to the team.

Others found that they couldn't catch up, so they took a shortcut and squeezed in.

"The general will be a little good, a good carrier pigeon, when the enemy is near, will take the initiative to fall into the grass to dodge, fly a little close to the ground, fly out a dozen feet and then fall into the grass again.

Until they feel completely safe, they will fly into the sky and run to the nest, where eagles will be raised in the grassland to deal with it. ”

Li Yi saw the pigeon, satisfied, but his own opinion.
