I Have An Impenetrable Fortress

Regarding Gao Qi's thoughts, Zhang Dongyun had a rough idea.

These people do not feel that they are terribly guilty, and would rather be a prisoner to be punished and atone for their sins.

They are worried about their family members.

The two Tang armies were wiped out successively in Chang'an City.

Whether they died or were captured, they were all trapped in Chang'an City.

Zhang Dongyun did not ban news from Chang'an City.

This place is not isolated from the rest of the world.

Many people in the city went down the mountain to contact and look for their lost relatives, hoping to bring them up the mountain together and take them to Chang'an City, a paradise where they can live and work in peace.

Through the words of these people, the outside world can easily know that not all the Tang troops who attacked the city were killed.

On the contrary, most of the people were actually captured.

After being captured, as a prisoner and doing hard labor, Dongtang may be able to forgive him a bit.

But if he surrenders to Chang'an, it's hard to say what Dongtang's reaction will be.

Therefore, many Tang soldiers, including Gao Qi, are currently in conflict and suffering, and can only endure in silence.

Of course, some of them were very dissatisfied with this, and their patience gradually reached its limit.

It is naturally impossible to let them break out in silence and rebel against Chang'an City again.

Then the only option is to simply surrender and strive to be a down-to-earth citizen of Chang'an.

Right now, the undercurrent of division is constantly surging during the Tang army's surrender.

Zhang Dongyun saw all this in his eyes.

At the beginning, he was more willing to absorb the refugees and settle down, rather than directly capturing a large number of soldiers of the Tang army to make up the number, so he had this consideration.

Zhang Dongyun didn't try to change some people's views.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they sincerely surrender or are forced to submit, it will not affect these people's efforts to build Chang'an.

Most of these Tang soldiers were natives of Longbei County.

With the expansion of Chang'an City, the nearest Longbei County must be the first to be enclosed.

But having said that, Longbei County has suffered serious disasters in recent years.

Most of the state capitals in the county have famine refugees who cannot eat enough.

Over the past few days, there have been scattered people who have traveled long distances to come to Longling.

The population of Chang'an City is growing slowly.

At present, a considerable number of people are farming outside the city.

Chang'an City provided land, grain seeds, agricultural tools and even cattle.

When the grain is harvested, these will also be accounted for.

However, for the people fleeing famine, this place is already a paradise like a paradise.

Affected by the thinking that the homeland is hard to leave, many people still miss their hometown.

For others, Chang'an is already a new home where they can live and work in peace and contentment.

As time went by, people from the mine came back one after another.

"Xiao Liu, you're back?" The folks were shocked when they saw him: "The mine let you go?"

The man's face was full of displeasure: "How can it be so good? What is it called... Uh, a holiday? You can only have one day off after ten days of work."

When the others heard the words, they were all amazed: "How often do you let people back from the mine?"

They looked the man up and down: "You didn't get hurt anywhere, did you?"

"That's not true." The man snorted, "We are responsible for transporting the excavated stones to the outside of the cave, and others are digging underneath."

"Are those practitioners who offended Chang'an really?"

Everyone immediately became interested and gathered around to ask questions.

The man's vanity was satisfied, and he showed off: "Is there still a fake? Let me tell you, there are Taoist priests who forget the truth!"

The prestige of Wangzhen Temple in Longbei County is beyond doubt.

Even though Xie Zhao, Tang Chi and others had been captured a few times before, the people in the city still couldn't believe that those old gods and little gods in Wangzhen Temple would turn into coolies to dig mines.

Everyone, you say,

When I asked a question, the man wanted to show off, so he had to exaggerate.

So everyone knows that the mines here in Chang'an City are really different from those in other places.

Although it is hard work, the hardest work is done by those prisoners who are practicing.

In the past, the high-ranking practitioners were responsible for the most dangerous and arduous work in the mine.

And these ordinary people, although they are tired from work, at least they are not in any danger.

Moreover, the income is quite rich, which is completely proportional to the hard work.

For people who are accustomed to idleness, this is naturally a source of distress.

But when some people in the city heard about it, they felt moved.

Just as Zhang Dongyun had expected, some people in the city took the initiative to find a job in the mine.

City Lord Zhang was naturally very pleased with this.

However, there are also places that make him feel unsatisfied.

The people in the city were either refugees fleeing famine, or soldiers of the Tang army.

Leaving aside the latter for the time being, the former is satisfied with a full mouthful of food.

Right now, the people in the city have insufficient spending power.

The problem caused by this is that the development of commerce and trade in the city cannot be developed for the time being.

In addition to farmers working in the fields, there are also a few craftsmen among the people.

The most popular at the moment is the blacksmith.

Farming and mining outside the city are in full swing, and there is a huge demand for building and repairing farm tools and mining tools.

There are skilled blacksmiths in the city, and they are almost too busy to smoke.

Furthermore, because of the construction of various facilities in the city, including houses, the supply of carpenters and masons is in short supply.

Other than that, business people and craftsmen are not so tight.

Zhang Dongyun secretly slandered that it might be more profitable to push a cart to sell wontons on construction sites or mines.

Well, when it comes to Qiantu, there is actually another way of making a living.

In addition to food and clothing, of course people need all kinds of daily necessities.

At present, a considerable part of this aspect depends on the relationship of the Hanshan faction in Qinzhou Prefecture.

Many salesmen came to Chang'an City to do business on the simple road opened up by Tang Jun.

For some things, there are related craftsmen in the city, but there is a shortage of raw materials.

"The younger generation has already contacted some relevant people and went directly up the mountain to take root in the city."

Hui Tianyu reported respectfully to Mr. Wu Yun: "Then there are relevant raw materials collected, and when these are more complete, some purchasing work does not need to go back and forth up and down the mountain."

At the same time, you don't have to worry about being stuck in such a small place by outsiders, making it uncomfortable.

It is really a joke that people's hearts are floating because of a piece of soap, a piece of soap, a mirror, a basin, a piece of paper, and a pen.

"Not bad, well done." Zhang Dongyun, who turned into Mr. Wuyun, did not hesitate to praise him.

Right now, Chang'an City is in its infancy, just started, everything needs to be created from scratch, there is no need to rush.

Chang'an at present, apart from the majestic city walls and gates, according to Zhang Dongyun's experience in his previous life, is not so much like a city, but more like a village and town prospered because of the mining industry on the mountain.

Not prosperous enough!

The people in the city have a poor foundation and cannot afford to support so many craftsmen, so many consumption places, and businesses.

If you want to develop commercial exchanges, transportation is always a big problem.

Right now, Chang'an City is located in the deep mountains of Longling, which is inherently deficient in this respect.

After the city continues to expand, I believe there will be improvements.

As for the things produced in the city, if these things have a market outside, it will be a different scene.

The business of turquoise crystal ore is just the beginning.

However, all this needs to be figured out slowly.

Before that, City Lord Zhang had to ask another question:

"How about the recruitment of weavers?"

"There are already 80% of the number." Hui Tianyu replied: "A considerable number of wives also go to the fields with the men, and some have to take care of the children."

Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.

It's a bit nonsensical to say, but things in this area are not big or small.

Fleeing from the previous famine left many families ruined and their wives separated.

It is miserable for a man to be left alone, but it is another situation for a woman to be separated from her family.

When I first entered the city, it was okay to provide disaster relief in the city.

After telling everyone to support themselves, a small number of women slowly flowed into an ancient industry.

Under the current social background of this different world, this industry is definitely not illegal.

If you really want to be self-reliant, of course it counts.

But Zhang Dongyun still talked about women holding up half the sky, so he drove them all into the factory.

Although there will definitely not be such a thing as a sweatshop, but do I count as restricting the freedom of life and squeezing the labor force?

After sending Hui Tianyu away, City Lord Zhang looked up to the sky and sighed.

At this time, Wen Hu from the Six Doors came to see him:

"Senior, there are people coming from the lower master's gate and want to ask to see senior."
