Chapter 106: Building a City

Wen Bufan stayed in Yanjing City for a few days, and then returned to Donglai City.

At this time, the North Vietnamese State had already fought to the deaths of the people. A large number of refugees poured into the country of Dongnae. Zixi had already traveled to the junction of the Kingdom of Donglai and the Kingdom of North Vietnam. Helping local officials resettle refugees.

After Wen Bufan returned to Donglai City, he and Isabel immediately went to the border area.

Looking at the refugee camp that stretches for dozens of miles, Wen Bufan is also full of emotion.

"I want to build a city here, and once it's built, I can house these refugees. When we built it, we paid them so that they could have work and food! Wen Bufan looked at those refugees and said to Zixi beside him.

"Good!" Zixi said.

Isabel is shuttling through the camps, occasionally treating sick refugees. At this time, he also came to Wen Bufan's side and said: "I have to let someone boil some hot water, separate these men and women, and take a good bath!" ”

Wen Bufan understood what Isabel meant, so he sent someone to give instructions, and at the same time had people tell the refugees that Donglai Kingdom was going to build a city here to settle them and pay them.

When the news spread, the refugees signed up.

Within days, the camp was transformed into a construction site for the construction of the city.

After the news broke, more and more refugees joined the construction site where the city was built, and even some refugees from the South Vietnamese country joined in. As the number of people increased, Wen Bufan chose two other places on the border and began to build cities.

And at this time, Situ Lin and Situ Feng were already exhausted!

The fighting between them ceased for the time being, but this did not prevent the inhabitants of North Vietnam from fleeing to the north in droves!

The first to realize the seriousness of the problem was Situ Lin, because the three cities that Wen Bufan saw were not so much on the border between the two countries as in the north of the North Vietnamese country. Moreover, Wen Bufan has already chosen two more places to build a city in the south of those three cities!

Situ Lin was a little annoyed and sent people to ask why Donglai Kingdom had built a city on his territory.

Situ Lin's envoy was received by Tao Zijie.

Tao Zijie asked politely: "Excuse me, envoy, who is the person who built the city?" ”

The envoy thought for a while, when he came, which three cities were under construction, and the people in them, from the stewards to the workers, were all from the North and South Vietnamese countries, and they didn't seem to see the people from Dong Lai Kingdom, so he said, "All of them are our people." ”

"Oh, why are you here so expensive? It seems wrong for your people to build cities in your place, and it seems wrong for you to come to me again and inquire about them. Tao Zijie said politely.

"But the money and food for the construction of this city are all from you!" The messenger said.

"That's right! It's us out! Is it wrong for us to pay for it? Don't you see the displacement of those refugees? Don't you see what your cities have been burned down by the war? We paid for the construction of cities to resettle refugees, what is wrong with that! Tao Zijie said righteously.

The messenger was speechless for a moment. Tao Zijie waved his hand and said, "Send off!" ”

After the envoy went back, he wanted Situ Lin to report, but Situ Lin couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, so he sent the envoy back, hoping that the three cities could be handed over to Situ Lin for management after they were built, this time the envoy did not see Tao Zijie, but he brought back Tao Zijie's reply, Tao Zijie only replied with one sentence, we paid for the city repaired by Donglai Kingdom, why give it to you!

"This is aggression! Naked aggression! Situ Lin shouted. However, shouting and shouting still did not stop the other three cities that Donglai Kingdom continued to build southward!

Although the fighting between Situ Lin and Situ Feng ceased for the time being, the favorable conditions on the construction site of the city in Dong Lai still attracted more North Vietnamese to join the construction team.

What made Situ Lin even more annoyed was that Situ Lin and his officials had encroached on a lot of land by starting a war with Situ Feng, but Donglai Kingdom announced that all the residents of North Vietnam and even South Vietnam who participated in the construction of the city could open up wasteland in the specified area! After the land is cleared, you only need to pay a certain amount of taxes every year! In other words, as long as you pay taxes, the land belongs to the people themselves!

Situ Lin wanted to use force several times, but looking at the 300,000 Donglai soldiers and horses stationed on the border, Situ Lin really didn't have the courage to be an animal!

However, as time passed, a large number of people joined the ranks of the Donglai Kingdom, and even some people in the army began to flee! The cities built by Donglai are also getting further and further south! Cities that had been destroyed by the war began to slowly rebuild. It's just that there are no officials arranged by Situ Lin in these cities! Situ Lin's heart became more and more bottomless.

"Prince, what should we do? If this continues, they will build the city under our noses! ”

"And those lands of ours, he will give them to whoever he says in Donglai Country!"

The officials under Situ Lin were talking loudly in Situ Lin's tent.

"Don't shout! You have the ability, go get it back yourself! Situ Lin said angrily: "I don't want to take back those lands!" But can we beat it? Some people also say that those who built the city were our people from the North Vietnamese country! Donglaiguo is just paying for it! It's just a matter of paying for the refugees of our North Vietnamese country to repair the city! ”

"But the city has to be repaired to us!" A military general said.

"To you? People pay for the repair of the city, why do you have to give it to you! Can you go and come back? The military general scolded Situ Lin with his head and face.

"But it's really not a way to go on like this. Lord, in a few days, our financial resources will not be able to support our expenditures! And the expenses of the army! Xu Zhi said.

"The army? Tu Zixiong! How many people are left in our army now? How much have you been running these days? Situ Lin said with a roar.

"Back to the prince! In the past few days, we have strengthened the guards, but we still escaped a lot, and last night a battalion in charge of the guards in the southern district all fled, and as a result, there was an unguarded situation in the south, and more than 10,000 people ran away in one night! Tu Zixiong whispered.

"More than 10,000 people! Where did you go yesterday? Situ Lin looked at Tu Zixiong and said.

"The last general was sent to the south by the prince yesterday, so he was not in the barracks!" Tu Zixiong said.

Situ Lin thought about it, he sent Tu Zixiong out yesterday, so he asked again: "What about the people who were on duty yesterday?" ”

"Ran away too!" Tu Zixiong said.

"Run! Good! Let's run! Let's run! Situ Lin shouted loudly.
