Chapter 161 Saying Pro

The Dahong City, the main city of Yuyi Town, is slightly smaller in size than Huaihuang Town. The city is square and has a circumference of about one mile. When Yuyi Town was first built since then, it was moved to Dushikou because it felt it was too small. Dahong City is prominent as a frontier.

Now, in addition to the main city of Dahong City, there is also the four-mile Fortress in the northeast, which is only more than 400 steps long. The high-mountain Fortress, which is three miles ahead, has more than 500 steps, and there are more than a dozen Huodunzi with a circumference of less than 100 steps. However, most of them are abandoned at present. Fortunately, Dahong City is well preserved. In Li Chongjiu's plan, in addition to Dahong City, Gaoshan Fort and Jiulian Fortress must be built together. It is common sense that the lonely city is difficult to defend itself, but now it can only be given priority to build Dahong City. After it is built, Dahong City can accommodate more than 3,000 people. If Gaoshan Fort and Jiulian Fortress are added, 5,000 people can be stationed here.

Even if these three forts are completed this year, it will be good. Huodunzi will be built next year, so there will be no problem with Yuyi Town’s defense. Although Dahong City is slightly smaller in scale, its defense is stronger than Huaihuang Town. The city had previously lured Rushui and made a moat, but although the moat has been silted at present.

As for the city wall, although there were brick walls in this era, it was obviously unrealistic to use in Yuyi Town. Moreover, the glutinous rice and egg white needed were not available now when people were not full. However, the previous rammed earth city wall was well preserved. The foundation of the rammed earth city wall was as thick as 16 or 7 meters, and the top was three meters wide, which was only more than three meters high. The four corner city gates in Yuyi Town were built into urns, and there was also a barrier wall outside the city gate. It can be seen that the Northern Wei Dynasty really put a lot of effort into building this city.

As for the construction of the old city, I am already familiar with the road. As for the foreman, several city builders planned the city and still divided the city into four yards. There were five wells in the old city. Now they prepared one yard to build one. The 2,500 refugees and guards all subcontracted them according to blocks. First, they cleared out the rubble in the city and freed up the place to move in and out of their place to get in and out. After cleaning up, thousands of people took action together to clear the moat again. In just one day, they

The introduction of Rushui made the city the first level of protection. As for Shide Xi's army, they came to send some meat and sent hundreds of people to build the city. However, Yuyi Town lacked food, and Li Chongjiu's soldiers also canceled their full-time status since winter. In addition to the necessary warning, they also scattered them, hunted and fished on their own, and paid more than 600 kilograms of meat to Huaihuang Town every day. Now the entire Yuyi Town construction was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.

It was the end of April and approaching May. Li Chongjiu estimated that Yuyi Town could be completely built before July. After Yuyi Town was completed before July, he had just finished it. And the girl from Xi's army had repeatedly urged Li Chongjiu to have a marriage between Shi Deyun several times.

Li Hu and Su Su have been getting along well with Shi Deyun these days. I feel that this wife is a good candidate for Li Chongjiu. Although she is simple and straightforward, she doesn't have so many twists and turns. At the moment, Li Hu thought of such a good woman in her heart, and Li Chongjiu said that she should not miss anything. If she goes on, she doesn't know when she will hold her grandson, let alone marriage, which is very beneficial for both Cangtou Army and Shi Dexi.

Whether it is the Han people and Xi people under Li Chongjiu, they are all looking forward to it, and it is difficult to mention Li Chongjiu alone, so they go around Li Hu. Li Chongjiu has been reluctant to promise this marriage, which really makes both sides anxious. It is difficult for both sides to talk about it. However, Li Hu and Su both saw it and decided to come forward to decide the matter for Li Chongjiu. Marriage is naturally the order of their parents, and the matchmaker said that even if Li Chongjiu will do a great job in the future, Li Hu must finally make the final decision. That night, Li Chongjiu commanded the construction of the city for a day in the day. After finally taking a breath, he heard that Li Hu had just returned from the Xi tribe's tooth and wanted to see him.

Li Chongjiu was surprised and thought that Li Hu and Su and the others had been running to Xibu's den recently. There were so many things to do about building a city in Yuyi Town. He was so busy that he was too busy, and the two old men had time. The girl had been widowed for a long time, and Li Hu had never reunited. Besides, both of them were long-term, so it was easy to spark a spark. This possibility was not without. Before entering the house, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile at the thought that suddenly appeared.

As soon as Li Hu saw Li Chongjiu, he spoke straight to the point: "Xiaojiu, you are not young anymore. Should you marry a wife?"

Li Chongjiu asked back immediately: "Dad, why did you say this?"

Li Hu smiled, showing a hint of relief, and said, "Dad knows that you have ambition. When you were a bandit in Qiqian Village, you didn't expect that we, father and son, would have today."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Dad, why take all the credit on me alone? Huaihuang Town has this foundation now, and it is all the brothers who have their heads raised."

Well, when Li Hu saw that Li Chongjiu was not proud of his contribution, he was even more happy at the moment. Then he said, "But the matter of marrying a wife cannot be delayed. Look at our Li family escort agency. When he was in Taiyuan, Yanmen last year, he gave you a few girls. It was quite good."

Seeing that Li Chongjiu didn't say anything, Li Hu also spoke: "Look at this girl from the Chen family in Dong County, although she is not as good as her beauty, she is also good. Her family has been a businessman for generations, and the shops on the most prosperous street in Dong County are all from the Chen family. He came to the door several times and said that in the future, he could sponsor Qianguan as a dowry."

"Well, since you don't like it, let's talk about the Liu family again. This is amazing. The girl is only 28 years old and she is dignified and respectful. Master Liu is just a daughter. She has been like a treasure since she was a child. If she married him, the thousands of acres of fertile land in Loufan County, she would also be..."

"Okay, you must be satisfied this time. Although the Gao family in Jinyang is a poor family, Mr. Gao was an aide who followed Duke Yue Nanzheng back then. After resigning, he was in Mayi County. Now he is the official in Kaiyang County. More importantly, this lady of the Gao family is a beauty selected from a hundred people. It is said that she is unparalleled in appearance. The person who came to propose marriage since childhood can be said to have broken through the threshold of the Gao family and is a match with our family!"

Speaking of this, Li Hu laughed and said, obviously very proud. As a bandit in the past, let alone a niece of a merchant, even women from ordinary good families were reluctant. How could they be as good as the daughter of the county today? Li Chongjiu laughed and still refused to comment. Seeing this, Li Hu was a little unhappy and said, "This is not possible, that is not possible. If you have something to say, there are three things that are unfilial, and there is no descendant. How do you tell me to explain to our ancestors and ancestors of the Li family? That's all, I think Shi Deyun is a good woman with a solid heart. The girl is interested in you, so don't let it go. Choose a day to get the happy event for me."

Li Hu took out the Shangfang sword and moved out the ancestors. If Li Chongjiu wanted to say "no" at this time, in this era when his father's destiny was as great as heaven, he would be against filial piety. Thinking of the preparations for so many reserve candidates before, Li Chongjiu felt deeply plotted by Li Hu at this moment. It seems that Li Hu had also put some effort into it.

Looking at Li Hu's eyes, I would never allow myself to say no, and I had no intention of rejecting Shi Deyun and Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu said bluntly: "Dad, I obey your orders for your arrangements, but my wife's house. I already have a candidate."

Li Hu heard the moment incredible and said, "Why don't you know if you have a candidate?" Li Hu thought about which girl Li Chongjiu fell in love with.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "The child's wife is the daughter of Mr. Tang."

"Dear Tang Gong's daughter!" Li Hu finally realized this moment and thought to himself why he forgot about this matter. What Xiaojiu kept saying in his heart was still Li Zhiwan. He didn't have much opinion about Li Zhiwan at the moment, but he didn't expect that Li Chongjiu would still choose in the end.

Li Hu thought for a while and remained silent, saying, "Xiao Jiu, the mansion of Tang is a family, and he is also a relative of today's son. Will the Tang Dynasty agree to be his son-in-law? We are just a bandit, so will the lady of the Li family like you?"

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about Miss Li's father, but you still need your father to nod your head. Therefore, I haven't reported it yet, but I've been running around for my child."

Li Hu could understand that the two had already made a private lifelong decision. However, in this era, making a private lifelong decision was considered a violation of ethics and a great act. Li Hu frowned and said, "This Xiaojiu, I know you are a very opinionated person. You have your own ideas. I don't object, but it is still difficult to make a private lifelong decision!"

Seeing that Li Hu did not object, Li Chongjiu was very happy and said, "That's why he asked for this matter to come to ask for marriage in person and the matchmaker's words. But it's great that you can agree with your father. I'm still careful that you still have a grudge against Sanniang because of the burning of Qiqian Village back then."

Li Hu smiled and said, "That's not the case. I saw that ** assassinating the Turkic Khan. The little lady of the Li family protected you, otherwise she wouldn't have pulled out her horse to save you."

Li Chongjiu nodded, and Li Hu was indeed as clear as a mirror and took everything to heart.

Li Chongjiu said, "Since my father agreed, whether this matter will be successful or not depends on the opinion of Mr. Tang. If it were the past, Mr. Tang would not agree. However, now the child is a fifth-rank official in the court. He is still a little sure of it, but I still don't know how confident I am. I still want to ask Mr., you, to come and try it for me."
