The Crusaders who arrived with great momentum are now like sick cats with their teeth pulled out. Later generations joked that if Yali Shanda brought the Roman legion to Daqin, it would increase the labor force for Daqin to build the Great Wall. It has become a reality.

But it is a pity that although the Crusaders have become laborers, the land they left behind is still Yelu Dashi to clean up the aftermath. Who has ever seen a battlefield like a dung farm? Yelu Dashi and his killers have seen it.

Already.

In addition to the massive excrement covering the ground that extended all the way to France and the Holy Roman Empire, the entire Seljuk territory was also severely affected.

Although the Seljuk Empire was a remote and poor country in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, it was undoubtedly a paradise of incomparable wealth in the eyes of France and the Holy Roman Empire.

Just like their descendants who burned the Old Summer Palace, the Crusaders first plundered everything that could be looted from the Seljuk Empire, and then burned everything that could be burned.

In short, it's not much better than when the Japanese invade the village.

As for the remaining Seljuks, Yelu Dashi also did not have any worries.

If the Seljuk side is to be governed normally, then the most critical issue lies in faith.

For example, most of the people in Zhongyuan Tangkou believe in you, I believe in me, or they don't believe in anything at all. Not only will the neighbors think it is normal, but the government will not come to ask after they are full.

But Seljuk is not a good place and it is not enough for you to allow him freedom of belief. He also wants you to maintain the same belief as him, otherwise you will be a heretic and a Kafir who will go to hell.

As a result, the Seljuk region in later generations was a place that gave even stupid thieves a headache. It was also known as the world's powder keg, ready to blow up at every turn.

Of course, for Yelu Dashi and the killers under Yelu Dashi, the problem that troubles Silly Thief Eagle the most is exactly the problem that needs the least concern.

Qin Huiwan from Shuntian Prefecture and Gao Zian from the Ministry of Industry, two big employers, don't care whether they blow up or not. They only care about whether there are enough workers.

Especially after some unknown Seljuks attacked the lone Western Liao army, Yelu Dashi and his killers found enough reasons to recruit Seljuk laborers.

Therefore, it is neither the Crusaders nor the Seljuks who really hurt Yelu Dashi. To Yelu Dashi, these two are not even considered as scabies. What really hurts Yelu Dashi is the people who immigrated to the country later.

The officials were unwilling to forcibly relocate the people.

Like the Chief Envoy of Jiugang, in order to persuade the people to move to Old Port, the Chief Envoy of Jiugang even offered a price for giving money, land, cattle, farm tools, houses, and concubines.

The people who fought for relocation not only beat people's brains into dogs' brains, but also brought the lawsuit to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, and finally even alarmed the officials.

Yelu Dashi was thinking about how the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi could benefit from the fertile land, and the Old Port could benefit from the throat of the sea. What would happen to the Western Regions? The land was so fertile that it was covered with yellow sand.

In addition to the reputation of the Silk Road, it is simply a barren mountain. Would you give two more kilograms of raisins or two more cantaloupes to the people who moved there? If you were an ordinary citizen, would you be willing to move to Old Port and Cochin?

Or are you willing to move to the Western Region?

"Let's deceive people first and then talk about it."

One of the fierce generals under Yelu Dashi said: "Of course I can't lie. After all, we really gave money, land, houses, seeds, farm tools, cattle, horses, camels, and concubines."

"Although I have money but no place to spend it, we gave the money to us in real terms. Can't we call it a lie?"

"There are also cows, horses, camels and the like. If the old port and Jiaozhi can give you one, we can give you two. If the old port and Jiaozhi can give you one acre of land, we can give you two acres. Although the land here is not suitable for growing food.

, but this can’t be said to be a lie, right?”

"You will be given a concubine over at Old Port, and we will give it to two. As for whether Hu Ji can speak human language, that has nothing to do with us."

After the words fell, all the generals in the big tent could not help but nod and said in unison: "That makes sense."

We in the Western Region can also give what Old Port and Cochin can give. Not only can we give, but we can also give more than them. Is it a good thing to give a concubine? Do those two shabby places of Old Port and Cochin have raisins and cantaloupe?

Calculating it this way, our Western Region is not useless.

"Your Highness, I believe that in addition to these conditions, we have the biggest advantage here."

Seeing the inquiring look in Yelu Dashi's eyes, Staff Liang, who had previously studied tactics such as feigning defeat with Yelv Dashi, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It should be noted that the place where Seljuk is located is the choke point between the east and the west, and it is also a silk

We can talk about the Silk Road, which is the only place the road must pass through."

"As long as the reputation of the Silk Road rises again, regardless of whether ordinary people are willing to move here, those businessmen will definitely be tempted. As more businessmen increase, this place will slowly become more popular."

"In addition, every year there are brothers in the army who are about to retire. I thought that I could resettle them on the spot, give them seeds, furniture, cattle, horses, camels, etc., and then divide the houses and concubines, and let them take the lead in cultivating the villages.

At the same time, with afforestation, this desert may not be impossible to control. When the time comes, we can say that this is the south of the Yangtze River, and we are not afraid of not attracting people."

Yelu Dashi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "What a blockade in the south of the Yangtze River!"

It’s great to plug into Jiangnan!

Think about it, the imperial court said that there are mines in places like Old Port, Cochin, and Myanmar. Isn’t it just to build a reputation first and then attract people to immigrate there?

There are mines in places like Jiugang and Jiaozhi, and there are also mines here in the Western Region.

What we can give in Old Port and Jiaozhi, I will give double in the Western Region.

Don't be afraid that the people won't be moved.

…

Louis VI felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

Since the last time he received a letter from Louis VII, Louis VI has not received another letter from Louis VII for a long time.

Although Louis VI has sent waves of messengers to Seljuk, the distance between Seljuk and France is not close. The time it takes for the messenger to make a round trip is not to mention calculated in years, at least

It also has to be calculated on a monthly basis.

So sometimes Louis VI couldn't help but wonder if he was delayed because of the distance.

Louis VI never thought about whether Louis VII would be defeated and captured. Didn't Louis VII already say in his letter that the Seljuk Empire had been captured by the Crusaders, and those armies from the east were not invincible.

Yes, the glory of the Lord will soon spread to the wild east.

After secretly calculating the strength of Louis VII and Conrad III again, and thinking about the small lords organized this time, Louis VI finally fell into a deep sleep.
