People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 63 Expansion of Dingbei Pass

Yu Qing nodded, "The biggest achievement this time is this Yuyang county uncle!"

Yu Qing and the others narrated what happened in the imperial capital, and they were extremely saddened to learn that the century-old imperial capital had been turned into ruins.

"Fortunately, we will nominally manage Yuyang and its surrounding areas in the future, and the next plan is to take back Yuyang!" Yu Qing frowned and said, "I can't even enter Yuyang as an official from Yuyang County. Bar!"

"My lord wants Yuyang to be at your fingertips, it's nothing more than worrying!" A calm voice echoed in the room.

Looking in the direction of the voice, everyone found that it was the man next to Bai Yunhua. He looked very strange and looked up and down. He was only in his early twenties, and he was dressed in a scholar's white robe. He should have the demeanor of a solemn and serious scholar, but This person doesn't have the slightest demeanor of a scholar, and even looks a little wretched!
"Oh? This gentleman seems to be confident?" Yu Qing pretended to be angry and said to Bai Yunhua, "Why don't you introduce it to us quickly?"

"Ah! This is my friend Yang Fan from my hometown!"

"My surname is Yang, Mingfan, and my courtesy name is Yuhua. I have met all of you sirs!" He said and bowed his hands casually.

Seeing Yang Fan being so casual, Bai Yunhua anxiously explained, "Yang Fan has been like this since he was a child, but he is very talented!"

"Hahaha, what do you think is the most valuable now?" Yu Qing asked with a smile, looking at everyone and waiting for the answer.

"food!"

"Silver! If you have enough money, you can buy as much food as you want!"

"No, no, jewelry and jade, those things are the favorite of dignitaries, and they are willing to spend any amount of money!"

"If you ask me, it must be a good knife. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand pieces of gold and a rare weapon!"

Everyone talked about their own thoughts, Yu Qing shook every answer.

"What is that?" Everyone asked expectantly.

"Talent!" Yang Fan said firmly in the corner, "Talent, without talent, no matter how many gold, silver, jewels, magic weapons and sharp blades, they will be robbed by others, or they will fail."

At this time, the corners of Yu Qing's mouth raised slightly. This was the answer he wanted, "Yes, it's talent. It's easy to get a lot of money, but it's hard to find a general! You must know that the bigger the territory we occupy, the more talents we need. Without talents, we will be eaten by others." Lose!"

"This is a world of cannibals, not to mention those cannibals who don't spit out their bones!" Qiu Liang sighed, as if recalling something.

"In that case, Mr. Yuhua, what do you think we should do?"

Yang Fan knew that this was Yu Qing's test for him, and if he passed it, he would be a success. Although he would not drive himself out if he failed it, his life would not be easy in the future.

"I think your first step is fine, that is to capture Yuyang, but I don't recommend placing the Earl's Palace in Yuyang."

"Oh? Why is that? Yuyang is the largest city in the vicinity, and it is also the center of Yuyang!" Qiu Liang was the first to ask his own question. You must know that Yuyang is the safest place to be a big city.

"The reason is simple, Yuyang is not safe!"

"You mean Koreans?"

Yu Qing helped explain with a smile, "I guess Mr. Yuhua is not talking about Koreans, and besides, foreigners are not only Koreans!"

Yang Fan pointed to the map and said, "The Yuyang area on the northern border of Daxia is counted and bordered by dozens of large and small forces. Although Goryeo is the largest, there are a few of them similar to him. You can't go to Yuyang and worry every day!"

As soon as this was said, everyone took it for granted. If it was to be developed as an old nest, it would definitely find a safe place. If it was going south today and tomorrow, wouldn’t it be a wedding dress for others?
"Then Mr. Yuhua has said so much, do you have a choice?"

Yang Fan responded with a smile, "Exactly, how about we write the answer in the palm of our hand and show it?"

Yu Qing nodded, picked up the pen from the table and started writing, then looked at Yang Fan who had just finished writing.

The two looked at each other and opened their palms to everyone at the same time. On both palms was a place name - Dingbeiguan!The two looked at each other and smiled when they saw each other's answers.

That night, Yu Qing and others discussed for a long time, and Yang Fan also successfully became an aide to advise Yu Qing.

Early the next morning, Yu Qing and others set out for Dingbeiguan, while Li Shu was left to garrison. Dubeiguan is a key area connecting the Central Plains and the northern grasslands. It would be unreliable not to put one of his own here.

Arriving at Dingbei Pass, Bai Yunhua didn't stop at all, leading the white-robed army straight to Dubei Pass, where he wanted to replenish enough gunpowder and then go to capture Yuyang.

Yu Qing and the others stayed at Dingbei Pass. Every day, everyone gathered together to study how to expand Dingbei Pass. You must know that expansion and reconstruction almost required re-planning.

After several days of hard work, the planning was finally overturned by an incident. A letter from Du Beiguan said that many people from the imperial capital and the surrounding people had fled here. Li Shu was not sure what to do with Yu Qing.

Now it's difficult for everyone, including Yang Fan, who are very resistant to taking in refugees. You must know that refugees have been disgusted by everything since ancient times, and they spend money, land and food!

Yu Qing made the final decision to take in the refugees!There are not many people in the military town within the three passes, and Yuyang probably won't be able to take it down.

With an order, the Dubei Pass was opened, and the refugees went to Dingbei Pass under the leadership of the soldiers.

These refugees are treasures in Yu Qing's heart. After all, the expansion of the city needs people, the potatoes have to have people, the soldiers have to be recruited, etc. Everything needs a prerequisite, that is people.

People from other places could not be dug by Yu Qing, so it would be easier to deal with near the imperial capital. Yu Qing gave Li Shu an order to search for refugees around the imperial capital as much as possible and send them to Dingbei Pass.

The plan before there were too many people did not match, and everyone had to gather again to study, planning for several days in a row except for eating.

When the final expansion plan came out, Yu Qing nodded in satisfaction. According to the plan, the Beiguan would be expanded to about five times its original size. The city walls were reinforced with wooden piles of huge stones and reinforced with load-bearing cement, almost achieving the strongest defense against water and fire.

The center of the interior is the city lord's palace, which is Yu Qing's Yuyang County uncle's palace. The east and west sides are planned to be opened as East City and West City for trade. Originally, Yu Qing planned to put the research institute in the city, but then he thought it would be too dangerous in case something happened. Have to rebuild.

So under an order, the craftsmen and research institutes from the Imperial Capital's Ministry of Industry merged into the Huantianqiao Camp. Lu Laowu from the research institute led them to settle in Hutou Valley. The land was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they could also be self-sufficient in farming. , the key point is that the open space is safe and you are not afraid of anything happening.

As for An Guangze, he was left behind. Yu Qing, who was short of men, wished he could split one of them and use them as two people.

The final difficulty lies in the arrangement of the camp in the army. The two choices of outside the north gate and outside the south gate caused everyone to argue, and Yu Qing was very troubled.
