During the battle at Yanmen Pass that day, less than one in ten of the people in the city survived, and the population plummeted.
Even the talented craftsmen were killed by the Tartars in this war.
Therefore, the progress of repairing the city wall was slow.
However, with the injection of fresh blood, Yanmen Pass would become even more prosperous.
Jia Hu led them to the residence.
"Old man, as you can see, the current Yanmen Pass has a lot of things to do, and the city walls are not completely repaired. This is the plan that I have been working on overnight.”
Jia Hu took out the plan he had organized yesterday and placed it on the table as he spoke to the four of them.
The four elders picked up Jia Hu's proposal and read it over and over again. Then, they looked at each other.
In the end, one of the older elders said,"
"General, we don't understand. Please explain.”
This old man's words were more tactful, but Jia Hu still heard it.
Jia Hu's embarrassment flashed past. He put away the plan and said,
"I want to repair the city walls. Most of the houses in the city have been burned down, so they need to be rebuilt.”
"General, this? This will require a lot of manpower and resources. The people outside the city have not been settled yet, I'm afraid…"
One of the old men said.
"It's fine. This general has his own way. Have you heard of using labor to do things for others?”
"Work for me?"
The old man who spoke just now asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's right. There are nearly 20,000 people outside the city now. I just said that I would give them work in exchange for food.”
"This way, we have enough manpower."
Jia Hu said indifferently.
"I see!"
The four old men said clearly.
"What do you think?”
Jia Hu continued after seeing that everyone understood.
The four elders discussed for a while and said,"
"General, we still don't know the situation at Yanmen Pass. Can you wait a day for us to understand the situation before giving you an answer?”
"That's how it should be!"
"Twenty, take the four elders to the city.”
Jia Hu called twenty and said.
"Yes, sir!"
The repairs had already been arranged. Jia Hu called Jia San over.
"Jia San, you will be in charge of recruiting soldiers this time. Recruiting five thousand people will be enough.”
"Understood!"
After Jia San heard this, he cupped his fists in response and walked out of the mansion.

Inside Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Wu Yun received Jia Hu's letter.
With a helpless expression, Jia Hu's handwriting was extremely torturous.
Wu Yun Emperor spent a lot of effort to understand what Jia Hu wrote.
Emperor Wu Yun's face turned ashen.
"Xia Bingzhong!"
"This servant is here."
"Find Wang Ziteng. I want to ask him properly. This is the deputy general he recommended to me.”
Emperor Wu Yun said angrily.
"Yes."
Xia Bingzhong replied.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the capital military governor Wang Ziteng finally arrived.
" I'm here to attend the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
"My dear minister, how have you been?"
Emperor Wu Yun asked with a smile.
Wang Ziteng didn't know what Wu Yun Emperor was up to, so he answered honestly,"
"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, this official's life is not bad!”
"I'm doing well. I've received a memorial regarding Minister Wang. Is Minister Wang interested in listening?”
Emperor Wu Yun wanted to throw the memorial down and let Wang Ziteng read it himself. However, he thought that Wang Ziteng might not understand it, so he asked directly.
Wang Ziteng was stunned. He hadn't offended those civil officials recently, right? Where did the memorial come from?
Wang Ziteng thought about it again and realized that there was nothing praiseworthy about him recently.
After he couldn't figure it out, he said,"I'm all ears!"
Because Jia Hu's letter was too messy, Wu Yun Emperor organized his words and said,"
"I heard that there was a city that lacked food and grass. It expelled the people, bullied them, and did not allow them to enter Yanmen Pass, causing hundreds of casualties.”
"Ever since I ascended the throne, I have never heard of anyone not allowing the people to enter the city, nor giving them porridge and food, allowing the people to starve to death outside the city.”
"Minister Wang, how do you think we should deal with the officials of this city?”
Wang Ziteng thought to himself. This matter has nothing to do with me anymore. Why would the Emperor ask me such a question?
However, Wang Ziteng did not dare to remain silent.
"Replying to the emperor, this official believes that this kind of official who eats nothing should be executed as a warning to others!”
Wang Ziteng said seriously.
"Oh, the heavens and earth can testify to my beloved minister's love for the country.”
Emperor Wu Yun's face darkened and he said,"
"However, I heard that my beloved minister's clan brother, Wang Ziyu, seems to be such a person.”
Wang Ziteng was secretly happy just now, but after hearing Emperor Wu Yun's words, he immediately understood that his brother must have done something in Yanmen Pass that caused Emperor Wu Yun to be furious.
After thinking it through, Wang Ziteng immediately knelt down and said,"
"Emperor, this official was not strict in disciplining him. This official asks the emperor to atone for his sins. This official will send people to capture this Wang Ziyu.”
Wang Ziteng had thought it through very clearly. If he went to capture Wang Ziyu, Wang Ziyu would still have a chance to live. If it was anyone else, based on Wang Ziteng's understanding of his clan brother, they would definitely be in trouble.
Emperor Wu Yun did not say anything after Wang Ziteng finished speaking. The entire Yangxin Palace was silent.
