Chapter 21: The Wise and the Fool There is always change.
At first, it was nothing but spectacular.
After a long time, the effect will appear little by little, and after accumulation, there will be a drastic change.
The officials who came to Hami sometimes did not believe that this was the result of their own governance, but when they saw the tangible results, they felt that they were originally a capable official, but they were not used in the right place in the Great Song Dynasty.
The sinful prisoners of the Great Song Dynasty were as docile as sheep under their rule, which deepened their delusion and made them believe that the reason why these people made mistakes was because the incompetent people of the Great Song Dynasty let the people go free.
As a result, those degraded officials have slowly developed a desire to look down on the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they are also from the Great Song Dynasty.
In their opinion, as long as the relationship between the government and the people is properly handled, no matter what they are asked to do, no one will question it.
For example, planting reeds on the shore of the calamus sea.
Reeds don't need to be planted, as long as there is water, they will grow densely on their own after two years and become reeds.
In particular, the iris sea was famous for its reeds, but after drying up for many years, all the reeds here disappeared.
Water, plants, animals, and people can form a virtuous circle, so the people who came to Loulan City did not start with the task of reclaiming wasteland, but planting a large number of reeds on the shore of the calamus sea.
The main ecological factor affecting the growth and planting of reeds is water.
However, it has a wide range of adaptation to water, from moist soil to perennial waterlogging, from one or two inches to more than three feet deep, and can form reed communities.
In rivers and lakes with a suitable water depth and slow flow rate, the reeds can form tall grass communities.
The reeds of the Western Regions are very famous, the highest reed can grow to more than six meters high, in the earliest days, the Loulan people used reeds to build city walls, build boats, build thatched huts, weave utensils, and fish here for life.
It is easier to grow reeds than to grow grain, as long as you bury the roots of the reeds in the mud, a large patch will appear in the coming year.
It will only take three years for the iris sea to become the land of fish and rice again.
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty sent to Loulan were also confident that they could accomplish this goal.
After Huang Yuanshou knew the fate of Wang Dayong, he no longer planned to return to the Great Song Dynasty, leaving only a young son in his hometown, and the rest of the family would come to Hami safely in three months and live in Qingxiang City.
Therefore, he is ready to build Loulan wholeheartedly, and in life, he must always stretch his mind, this is what he said to his old friend Gu Cheng when he left Hami City.
Having a full-fledged bureaucracy largely freed Tie Xinyuan and gave him more time to think about the future of the Hami Kingdom.
The construction of Hami at any cost is all that Tie Xinyuan can do at present, and it is also the biggest honor guard he can have before the war.
Sandstone City already had its prototype, and Ouyang Xiu exchanged 100,000 useless Uighurs for all the command of Sandstone City from the hands of the Living Buddha of the Sakya.
The raging underground river, which had been blown up by gunpowder for camping, accumulated and gushed out of the ground, and a great river that had never been seen before flowed out of the sandstone city and into the arid Gobi Desert.
Tie Xinyuan hopes that the river will eventually flow into the Calamus Sea, but it seems that it will be very difficult in the short term, for countless years there has never been a water source passing through this arid land, and when the river passes through the Gobi, it will not take long for the dry land to absorb it cleanly.
Only when the groundwater is insufficient will the river flow freely on the earth, and eventually form a new oasis.
This kind of big change out of nothing has made Tiexinyuan's prestige gradually take root in the hearts of Hami people.
Qingxiang City has the title of Heavenly Kingdom, Hami City has gradually acquired the title of Golden City, and Tianshan City, which is covered with snow all year round, has the title of Heavenly Moat.
Since the Sandstone City came out of the water, the honorific title of the City of Miracles has been added to the head of the Sandstone City by the Hami people without objection.
As for the Great Snow Mountain City, it still shows its infinite killing aura as before.
There is the towering Snow Mountain Palace, the resplendent Leiyin Temple, and a huge prison that makes everyone fearful.
Once the passage connecting these five cities is successfully constructed, the true foundation of the Hami Kingdom will be completed.
Everything seems to be on the bright side......
Only those high-level leaders such as Tie Xinyuan and Ouyang Xiu will understand that everything they have now is illusory in the final analysis.
If the problem of national integration is not solved, Hami will always fall apart one day.
The Song people were wealthy, and the Han Chinese had a lot of savings in the past two years, but the Uighurs were only slightly better off than nothing before this year's harvest.
The proletarians are the most terrible enemy, and once the people of Hami have become the propertied class, they will shed their last drop of blood for the country.
Compared with the prosperous trade, the army is still a weak point, and it is like a dream to build a high-tech and powerful army in a year or two.
It is no exaggeration to say that the best talents in Hami are in the army, and any up-and-coming young man will be drafted into the army as soon as possible.
War will always come, and the enemy will come not only from the Great Eclipse, but also from Musin, but also from the powerful Khitan and the greedy Western Xia.
When Hami was just a den of robbers, it was very worthless for the Khitans and Xixia people to cross the vast desert or cross the 800-mile Hanhai Sea to attack Hami.
Once the name of Hami's wealth spreads to the ears of these two behemoths, they will not give any reason, and the army will set foot on the land of Hami.
Tie Xinyuan returned to the city lord's mansion tiredly, Zhao Wan and Shui Zhu'er helped him remove his armor, Zhao Wan saw her husband lying on the soft couch, and the sorrow between her eyebrows seemed to be intense, so she comforted: "The concubine has never heard of whose strong army was formed in one day and one night.
Nowadays, there are Ah Da, Ah Er Generals, Meng Yuanzhi, Brother Qiao, Tie San, Tie Si, Tie 5, Tie Liu, Lachman, and Tie 300, they are all the people you trust the most, and you should give them some time. ” Tie Xinyuan took a sip of tea and nodded: "There is not much time, Lao Xu came with news from the distant Linhuang Mansion, the war between the Khitans and Goryeo is about to end, the Black Sea War, Yelu Hongji broke the backbone of the Goryeo people, the king of Goryeo surrendered, offered a heavy salute, and let the crown prince of Goryeo Wang Xu become a monk in Xingwang Temple, the law name Yitian, and the title of Dajue National Teacher." and sent the second prince to the Khitan as a hostage, so that Yelu Hongji had no determination to move forward, and he would soon be in Linhuang Mansion.
Yelu Hongji is considered to have completely secured his throne, and Yelu Chongyuan was named the king of Chu, and Yelu Chongyuan returned all the wealth that he had previously seized from King Yelu Chongyuan Yan Zhao to him, but he lost the strange title of imperial uncle.

After Yelu Hongji subdued the Goryeo, the Khitan East was already extremely stable, and his spring bowl this year could only be chosen in Khitan Xijing.
By this time, Lao Xu had no way to hide it for us. ” Zhao Wan filled her husband with tea and asked, "What about Xixia?"
” Tie Xinyuan patted Zhao Wan's little hand with satisfaction and said: "The situation in Western Xia is slightly better, Fu Bi's army is still stationed in Hehuang and continues to digest and absorb the land of Qingtang.
We also supported him with some jacks and gunpowder, and he is now working hard to build a city, and it seems that he wants to build a new Great Wall at Hehuang, and 200,000 troops are stationed in Hehuang overlooking the west of the Xixia River.
In this case, he didn't have the courage to leave Western Xia and come to our Hami to find a bargain. ” "What about Musin?
The most troublesome thing right now should be Musin!
” Tie Xinyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said to Zhao Wan: "I very much hope that Mu Xin will fight now, this battle should be sooner rather than later."
If possible, I would like to have a fight with Mu Xin on the North Tianshan Road, the military department has already calculated, it is better to take the initiative than to wait passively.
If Musin continues to wait and see, once the Khitans cross the desert and kill us, we will be attacked on our backs, and that will be dangerous. ” Zhao Wan smiled: "Since the husband has thought it through, what are you doing now with a sad face?"
Sorrow is a day, and happiness is also a day, so why not be happy, and wait for trouble to come and then worry about it.
You are fishing today, the concubine will accompany you to bathe, go to the hot springs, not at home, the dignified princess of the Song Dynasty will serve you, will you have some expectations?
” Tie Xinyuan raised his head and looked at Zhao Wan suspiciously: "You have been a queen for a while, and you have been a jealous woman for a while, which makes me very unaccustomed to it." ” Zhao Wan sat on Tie Xinyuan's lap, hugged his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to send me to Tokyo, the difficult days are about to begin, if the queen of the concubine runs away, how can you expect the people to work hard for you?"
” Tie Xinyuan sniffed the milk fragrance on Zhao Wan's chest, and said in a low voice: "I knew that Wang Yan's bastard couldn't keep a secret."
I want you to go to Tokyo with a good intention, and I hope to rely on your ability to influence my Taishan boss not to withdraw his troops from Hehuang easily. ” Zhao Wan sighed and said, "If you tie the victory or defeat to the concubine's body, it is better to plan early."
The most ruthless emperor family, my father will only judge whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous for the Great Song Dynasty to continue to garrison Hehuang according to the current events at the time, and finally decide whether to garrison troops or not.
Although my father loves me, he will not give in to me in military affairs. ” Tie Xinyuan nodded, what Zhao Wan said was not wrong at all.
At this time, Tie Xinyuan suddenly remembered some of the things that his grandfather had said to himself about smart people.
A smart person, because he is smart, can skillfully avoid many dangers, and finally achieve a great feat.
However, there is absolutely no way for this wise man to compare with the deeds of those fools who rose to the occasion and finally defeated all fears.
Sometimes fools and smart people are hard to define, the two are often interchangeable, and they don't grow!
