At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

"It doesn't matter if I die, but it would be such a pity if you died!"

When he said this, even Deputy General Liu beside him cast a glance over.

"I really didn't realize that the prince is such a noble man. I really admire him!"

Chu Chen frowned, "Your words sound like a compliment to me, but why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to them?!"

"General Liu, why don't you just treat the wound on your arm and take a look at your eyes as well?"

"Hahahaha... That's not necessary. My eyes are fine."

After Deputy General Liu finished speaking, he also looked at Xie Yuheng, "In the past, most of the surrendered soldiers were reorganized and entered the camp."

"But there has never been a case of gathering more than 200,000 surrendered soldiers."

"The generals under the First Emperor did capture nearly 400,000 soldiers, but in the end they were all buried alive and never used for their own purposes."

Xie Yuheng looked in the direction of the surrendered soldiers and said, "Chengge has done his best to quell the rebellion this time, and his willingness to surrender is evident."

"As for the Scythians, their ancestors once massacred Liangzhou. It would be better for them to disperse to various parts of Liangzhou and plant trees to prevent sandstorms."

Chu Chen interjected, "The cost of harvesting grain in Liangzhou is not too high, but we still have to support more than 70,000 Scythians, which is really a lot."

"Even if we feed them sweet potatoes every day, it still won't be enough!"

Xie Yuheng took the water bag handed over by Rong Shi and said, "We can transfer grain from Yizhou. This way, we can also increase the income of Yizhou farmers."

"What about the money for buying sweet potatoes? Money from the Ministry of Revenue?"

Chu Chen pointed in the direction of the Scythians, "It's that stingy Zheng Xiu!"

"If the Ministry of Revenue pays for it, they might secretly add rat poison to the sweet potatoes and poison them all to death."

Xie Yuheng chuckled, "Of course they pay for it themselves."

"We stole all their horses, oh no, we took most of them!" said Lieutenant General Liu, and quickly changed his words.

"I heard from Chengge of Yile that the Scythians' own pastures were taken away by others, and they had no money at all, so they followed the Wusun to eat and drink for free."

After Xie Yuheng finished drinking the water, he said, "Let them owe it first, and if they behave well, then let them work for the people in the nearby villages and towns, and the people will pay them."

"As for those who don't perform well, just kill them directly."

Deputy General Liu looked puzzled. "Liangzhou is poor, and the Marquis knows that. How can the people afford to pay them wages?"

"No, General Liu has not figured out the cause and effect."

"The reason why Liangzhou is poor is not only because of drought and water shortage, but also because the Silk Road to the west is firmly in the hands of Wusun."

"Now that the Wusun army has been defeated, one day our Daliang army will be at the gates of the Wusun king's city, and we can reopen the Silk Road to the west."

"By then, the people of Liangzhou will be able to do some light work, open some tea stalls and restaurants, sell food to merchants, or lead their own caravans to trade westward."

Rong Shi seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Fake slaves? Those who obey can earn money to redeem themselves, and those who disobey will die, or spend their whole lives planting trees and controlling sand."

Xie Yuheng smiled and said, "That's about it."

"Once the Silk Road is reopened and commercial taxes prosper, it can offset part of the food costs."

"Yizhou is a land of abundance, with fertile fields and abundant crops since ancient times. It is still possible to feed only 70,000 Scythians."

Of course not, eating sweet potatoes every day is also living.

I just ate too much and I don't have much energy...

"What about the Wusun people?"

"Wusun, when the war in the east is over, you can ask them to carry trees for shipbuilding."

"130,000 people carrying trees? How many ships would it take to build that?"

Chu Chen lay on the wooden board and interrupted the conversation between Xie and Liu, "General Liu, you don't know that there are some old silver mines on the Fuso island!"

"This tiny place has more silver mines than our Daliang Silver Mine!"

"Uh..." Deputy General Liu suspected that he had heard it wrongly. "They have a silver mine, but they still come to attack Daliang? Are they mentally ill?"

“They don’t know!” Chu Chen looked at Lieutenant General Liu like a fool.

Deputy General Liu: “…” If Chu Chen wasn’t a prince, he would have kicked Chu Chen at least.

"They don't know, how do you know, Your Majesty?"

"I don't know either. Marquis Jiangling told me a few years ago!"

As soon as the words fell, they both looked at Xie Yuheng.

Xie Yuheng looked calm and said calmly, "What I said was what I saw in the incomplete copy at the bookstall in the West Market of Beijing."

The West Market is a gathering place for merchants from all corners of the world, selling all kinds of strange and eccentric goods. Scholars also often go there to look for historical relics.

Deputy General Liu frowned, "What if the records are wrong and there is no silver mine?"

"General Liu, that's a good question, just don't ask it again next time."

Xie Yuheng stood up with a smile, stretched his muscles and looked into the distance.

The young man's voice drifted far away with the morning breeze.

“Looking at the mountains, you will realize the vastness of the world. Walking on the sea, you will realize the breadth of water.”

……

The battlefield in the former Wusun camp would take at least ten days or half a month to clean up.

The handling of surrendered soldiers is of utmost priority.

Except for the more than 40,000 surrendered soldiers in Yili, they can be disbanded and incorporated into the Liangzhou army.

The Ukrainian soldiers and Scythians were detained in batches in different places. For a time, the generals in the military camp were extremely busy.

After Xie Yuheng returned from the battlefield, he first went to the central military tent and explained the battle in detail to Zhao Zheng.

After that, I didn’t go back to the tent to catch up on some sleep.

Instead, he took the women's clothes he bought when he entered the city and went to where the women of the Pei family were.

All three of them were injured, especially the oldest one, who is still in a coma.

Therefore, their tent was right next to the military doctor's tent.

When Xie Yuheng went in carrying clothes, he unexpectedly found Xu Yinqiu was also there, and the three of them had already changed into decent clothes.

Xu Yinqiu smiled and explained: "The general asked me to come. Now that the marquis is back, I will leave first."

Xie Yuheng nodded, "Thank you Miss Xu, I will express my gratitude formally someday."

"But I can't be one, hahaha. My brother will have to rely on the head of the family to take care of him in the future."

After watching Xu Yinqiu leave, Xie Yuheng stepped in.

She placed the bundle of clothes at the end of the bed, looked at the unconscious woman, and asked softly, "How is your injury?"

Another woman said, "The female doctor said it's not a big problem, he just hasn't eaten for a few days and is in a coma."

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes and handed the little girl a handful of candy, not completely believing what the girl said.

But, she is a 'man'...if there is anything, it may not be convenient to tell her.

"I haven't asked for your names yet, what should I address you?"

The woman's voice was gentle, but inexplicably revealed a tenacity, "My name is Pei Xia, and she is Pei Chun."

The little girl put the candy next to Pei Xia's pillow and said sweetly, "My name is Pei Dong!"

Xie Yuheng frowned slightly, "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter?"

"Yes, this name was given by Wang Tai...Chi Yao. It was originally named Spring Red, Summer Green, Autumn Yellow, and Winter White."

"Since I followed my grandmother into prison, I have erased the last words."

Chi Yao's naming level... Zhuque feels that it is not as good as Xie Yuheng's. What are these, red and white.
