Zhang Dongyun has a rough idea of ​​what Gao Qi and others think.

These people do not feel that they have committed any great sins, and would rather be prisoners and be punished to atone for their sins.

They are worried about their families and relatives.

Two Tang armies were completely wiped out in Chang'an City.

Whether dead or captured, they are all trapped in Chang'an City.

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

It's not isolated here.

Many people in the city went down the mountain to contact and find their lost relatives, hoping to bring them up the mountain together and bring them to Chang'an City, a land of peace and contentment.

Through the words of these people, it is easy for the outside world to know that not all the Tang troops who attacked the city were killed.

On the contrary, most of them were actually captured.

After being captured, he would be a prisoner and do hard labor, and the Eastern Tang Dynasty might be able to tolerate it a little more.

But if he surrendered to Chang'an, it's hard to say what the reaction from the Eastern Tang Dynasty would 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 are very dissatisfied with this, and their patience has gradually reached its limit.

Letting them break out in silence and resist Chang'an City again is naturally impossible at the moment.

Then we can only surrender and strive to become a down-to-earth citizen of Chang'an.

At present, the undercurrent of division is constantly surging in the Tang army's surrender.

Zhang Dongyun saw all this.

At the beginning, he was more willing to absorb the refugees and settle down instead of directly capturing a large number of Tang soldiers to make up the numbers. This was the consideration.

Zhang Dongyun does not force himself to change some people’s views.

In any case, whether they surrender sincerely or are forced to submit, it does not affect these people's contribution to the construction of Chang'an.

Most of these soldiers who were surrendered by the Tang army were locals from Longbei County.

With the expansion of Chang'an City, the closest Longbei County will definitely be the first to be enclosed.

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

Most of the state capitals in the county are filled with famine refugees who are hungry.

In the past few days, scattered people have come to Longling after traveling long distances.

The population of Chang'an City is constantly growing.

At present, quite a few people are working in agriculture outside the city.

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

When the food harvest is good, these will also be accounted for.

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

Under the influence of the thought that it is difficult to leave the homeland, many people still miss their hometown.

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

As time goes by, people from the mine come back one after another.

"Xiao Liu, are you back?" The villagers were extremely shocked when they saw him: "The mine let you go?"

The man's face was full of ugliness: "How can it be so good? What do you call... uh, a holiday? You can only have one day off after working for ten days."

When the others heard this, they all exclaimed: "You've been in the mine every now and then, and yet you still let people come back?"

They looked the man up and down: "You're not injured anywhere, are you?"

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

"Are they really the practitioners who offended Chang'an?"

Everyone immediately became interested and gathered around asking questions.

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

There is no doubt about the prestige of Wangzhen Guan in Longbei County.

Even though Xie Zhao, Tang Chi and others had lost their prestige a few times before when they were captured, the people in the city still couldn't believe that the old gods and little gods in Wangzhen Temple would actually turn into coolies to mine.

Everyone, if you ask a question or I ask a question, that man wants to show off and must not exaggerate.

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

Although it is hard work, the hardest work is all done by those prisoners who have practiced spiritual practice.

In the past, the high-ranking practitioners held the most dangerous and arduous jobs in the mines.

As for ordinary people like them, although their work is tiring, at least they are not in any danger.

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

For people who are used to being lazy, this naturally makes them complain.

But some people in the city felt moved after hearing about it.

As Zhang Dongyun had expected, some people in the city took the initiative to seek a job in the mine.

City Lord Zhang was naturally very pleased with this.

However, there were also things that left him feeling unsatisfied.

The people in the city were either refugees fleeing famine or surrendered by the Tang army.

Let’s leave aside the latter for now, as the former means being satisfied if you can have a full mouth and enough food to eat.

At present, the people in the city have very insufficient spending power.

The problem caused by this is that the city is temporarily unable to develop business and trade.

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

The most popular one right now is the blacksmith.

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

The skilled blacksmiths in the city are almost exhausted from their work.

Furthermore, due to the construction of various facilities including houses in the city, the supply of carpenters and masons exceeds the demand.

Other than that, businessmen and craftsmen are not in such short supply.

Zhang Dongyun secretly murmured that it might be more profitable to sell wontons from a cart on a construction site or in a mine.

Well, when it comes to making money, there is actually another way to make a living.

In addition to food and clothing, people of course need various daily necessities in life.

At present, a considerable part of this aspect relies on the Hanshan Sect's relationship in Qinzhou Prefecture.

Many salesmen came to Chang'an City to do business on the simple roads opened by the Tang army.

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

"This junior has contacted some relevant people and came directly to the mountain to take root in the city."

Returning to Tianyu, he respectfully reported to Mr. Wu Yun: "Then related raw materials have also been collected. Once these are relatively complete, there will be no need to run up and down the mountain for some purchasing work."

At the same time, you don’t have to worry about outsiders getting stuck in such a small place and making you feel uncomfortable.

It would be a joke if the people's hearts were moved 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 transformed into Mr. Wuyun, did not hesitate to praise.

Right now, Chang'an City is in its infancy. It has just started. Everything needs to be created from scratch. There is no need to rush.

Chang'an now, apart from the majestic city walls and gates, according to Zhang Dongyun's experience in his previous life, looks more like a town that grew up due to mining in the mountains than a city.

It’s 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 commerce.

If you want to develop business and trade, transportation is always a big problem.

Currently, Chang'an City is located in the deep mountains of Longling Mountains and is inherently deficient in this regard.

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

As for the things produced in the city, it would be a different story if these things were sold externally.

The jadeite crystal ore business is just the beginning.

However, all this needs to be figured out slowly.

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

"How's the recruitment of weavers going?"
To be continued...
