Yu Jiang was worried. According to the Li Family Zhuangzi's style, this was not a peace talk. It was clearly a settling of scores.
The Winged Knights could kill people in front of so many people.
Moreover, he knew what the Sky Cracker Monkey was for. It wasn't for business.
They were clearly taking advantage of the chaos in the Turks to confirm the status of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, they had to find out who bullied the Tang Dynasty people first. They had to find out what the Tang Dynasty people wanted.
If they had to kill, they had to think of other ways. They could not kill in public.
Li Yi was really ruthless. He actually gave such an order.
Didn't people in power always think about harmony? Why did he suddenly make a move when it came to Li Yi?
Bacharcha was also worried. What if the families of his brothers bullied the Tang Dynasty people while they were away?
What should he do when the team arrived? To kill or not to kill?
He ran to Li Yin's side and said, "Manager Li, let's settle the past now. There are brothers in Zhuangzi, and there are brothers in the team. Why …"
He was in a difficult position, but Li Yin was not at all.
"Those who killed must die. Everything else can be discussed. Dongzhu's reputation can't be weakened. However … in some cases, they were not killed. They died accidentally. Compensation has to be made. "
Li Yin had received Li Yi's guidance. Killing people did not necessarily solve the problem. It was a way to vent anger.
Since they had already knelt and were willing to help the Tang Dynasty, it was better to let them live than to kill them.
If the dead people had families, they had to be compensated. If they did not have families … they had to be killed.
Because no one could get compensation for the dead. Were the dead not people?
It was not easy to deal with this kind of thing in previous dynasties. Li Yi was more straightforward.
However, he could be flexible. When he said to kill, he had to lock them up and wait for a good day to kill them.
In the process, if the other party realized his mistake and was willing to correct it, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment and reform through labor.
This reform through labor was real reform, the kind with a high mortality rate. He would let them do the dangerous work.
If he could survive, he would be lucky. If he couldn't, he would have to pay for it.
Li Yi drew a line in the sand. There was no such thing as a few men taking turns to do something to a woman from the Tang dynasty, and the woman died.
As for those who died from an infection after being whipped, this could be done indefinitely.
Because when he was whipping them, he wasn't thinking of whipping them to death. Instead, he wanted to bully them and make them work for him.
Consider it from the perspective of the starting point and the mental harm to people.
Bacharcha and Li Yin had a discussion. The Winged Knights did not need to participate. The Winged Knights were only responsible for killing.
The two hundred and twenty-five people in the team finally showed a smile that they hadn't seen in a long time.
They found out that His Majesty's private army listened to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Then, the Li Family Zhuangzi looked as if he had bought them, so they should belong to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
But in reality, he took good care of them and allowed them to sit on the shaft of the carriage.
The key was that when they were rushing, the Winged Knights' scouts were everywhere. This was a strong army.
In fact, the people who were caught to work hadn't fully adapted yet. The change was too fast.
When they were carrying buckets to water the sorghum field, a group of people suddenly came out.
Then, the Khitans went up to them. They were ready to fight. Just as they pointed their weapons at the ground, a woman was violated, and the situation changed in an instant.
They were shot to death just by touching her.
This showed that this team had a special dignity. Then, it was true.
Thirty-one people were killed. Their dignity was inviolable.
Now that they looked at the march, it was indeed different from the army they knew before. They ran 30 miles at a time.
"The army of the Tang dynasty now has such a powerful weapon?"
The only student among the two hundred and twenty-five people was holding a telescope.
The others also had one. They took turns to look at it and felt that it was too magical.
When they put this thing in front of them from so far away, they suddenly felt very close.
The student looked at it and said to the farmer of the Li Family of Zhuangzi, "This is a military weapon. Your Zhuangzi can use it for this trip. When you go back, you must hand it in. Don't keep it."
At this time, the student was still thinking about the Tang dynasty.
"My family made it in Zhuangzi. The telescopes of the Military forces of the Tang dynasty were all made by my family in Zhuangzi," the farmer shook his head and said.
"From what you said, can you read?" The student found that the farmer was different from others.
The farmer was embarrassed. "I only know a few thousand words. My handwriting is not good. It's not as good as my daughter and son. They go to school in Zhuangzi, and their handwriting is much better than mine."
"You learned from your son and daughter?" The student was interested.
"I learned by myself. Dongzhu let everyone learn and send people to teach them. Zhuangzi can't not read or count."
The farmer said with a happy expression. He was proud. So what if he was a farmer? Every farmer was different from every other farmer.
The student nodded. "If you learn more, you can ask your Dongzhu to increase your salary. Otherwise, you can go to someone else's house and be a steward."
"Go to someone else's house? Haha! "The farmer laughed.
"Why should I go to someone else's house? To be honest, I can't go. Li Family of Zhuangzi can only stay in Li Family of Zhuangzi. If I go out, I'll die. "
The farmer knew that he knew too many secrets.
Everyone was curious again. Why couldn't they go?
How could their lives be in touch with the Li Family of Zhuangzi? They could only listen to the farmers talk about the Li Family of Zhuangzi.
The people of the Tang dynasty who were caught to work had smiles and expectations on their faces.
Just like the Khitans who had lost their relatives, those who were alive had to be strong. They would soon forget many people and things.
The team moved forward. A few days before they reached their destination, night fell.
Tents were set up one after another, and the teams formed sentries.
The Winged Knights hunted wild animals, and the people of the Tang dynasty helped to pick wild vegetables. It was another pot of stew with a lot of spices.
Some people wiped their tears while eating. After eating, they went to sleep. Faint crying sounds came from the tents.
"After Liqiu, it will be hot for many days, but it will cool down sooner or later." Li Chengqi came over for dinner at night.
He brought a lot of watermelons that were not fully ripe yet. They could be preserved for a long time after soaking them in salt water.
"The main problem is the drought. The heat is not a problem. The whole Guanzhong is dry. The only water network we have now is the capital office. It's difficult to dig wells above and to the east of the Yellow River."
Li Yi did not want to eat dinner at night. It was hot.
In this kind of weather, he was sweating just sitting there motionless.
So he was eating cold soup with ice stubble. The tripe in the soup was cooked in advance. He had to eat garlic for fear of diarrhea.
"The water network will be completed by mid-August. The track from Luoyang to Chang 'an will also be completed. There's no need to worry about running out of food."
Li Chengqi could now casually talk about the capital office.
"When will the people arrive? If the mountain can be tidied up this year, the fertilizer can be transported up in winter, and the snow can be plowed in spring. Then we can plant new rice. "
Li Yi changed the topic and asked about the nine families who surrendered. He knew those people were not familiar with the border.
The earlier they came, the earlier he could make arrangements.
"They are coming this way. Some people don't want to come here. It can be seen that they are actually rebellious."
Li Chengqi finally understood the three plans and Li Yi's arrangements.
Sure enough, some people were still thinking about going back after the internal strife in the Turkic Khaganate stabilized.
