Chapter 227
Tuli put the old, weak, women and children and the cattle and sheep on which they depended on for survival in the Ulanqab area less than five hundred miles away from Shanyang. Now, these more than 3 people and nearly [-] cattle and sheep have become Xijun Buy loot.

"The kumiss of the Turkic people is too weak to drink, but the cattle and sheep grow fat. The brothers drove [-] head back."

Xi Junmai thought that he could have a good fight when he was in Duantuli's lair, but after he went there, he realized that there was no chance for him to swing a knife. On the contrary, it was Mayi's side who fought fiercely, and he missed it In this battle, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Tuli can be regarded as one of the forces, don't you have any family background?"

Maybe it's because he is the master of the house, now Sun Xiangfu's thoughts will rely on money from time to time, he really has no money, even the hundreds of thousands of dividends from the soybean paste workshop and Wangjiang Tower this year have all been spent. You know, as the largest owner of Shanyang City, he has built more than a hundred large and small projects in this year, and he feeds more than 10 people every day. Inexhaustible, raw materials for infrastructure projects such as firing bricks and tiles do not require much cost advantage, otherwise, it would be impossible to build an equivalent big city without investing millions of dollars.

"Didn't I come to ask you, Tuli was escorted to Chang'an by General Li Jing, can his family property still be moved? What if Tuli told His Majesty the number, but the number we handed in is not right for us? "Xi Junmai looked around and saw that there were only the two of them in the hall, so he said.

"Old Tang, come, call Old Tang."

Sun Xiangfu yelled outside the door, and heard the sound of guards colliding with iron armor. He must have run to find Tang Fengyi. After this guy came to Shanyang, he didn't stop. He walked around this workshop for a while, and that workshop for a while. Turning around, he is digging things for his new home, ready to welcome his little one!

"For professional matters, you should ask professional talents. Let me find out first, how many things are there?" After calling the guards, Sun Xiangfu turned his head and looked at Xi Jun with a thief.

"Uh, I didn't count too much. There should be more than a dozen carts for gold and silver. Copper coins and silk should be able to pull a hundred carts. Leather goods are the most. There are several large tents piled up, estimated to be tens of thousands. Zhang has it."

"The statistics are so rough?" Sun Xiangfu frowned when he heard the words, but then smiled again, "It's better to be rough, better to be rough! This way, it will be easier for Old Tang to work. I have to send an urgent letter to Chang'an. Your Majesty, don't be lenient when dealing with Tuli matters, these things are of great use to Shanyang and Guanzhong."

Now, Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin are in a state of poverty and madness, and they must not spit out what they got. Therefore, after Li Jing escorted Tuli to Chang'an, how did Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling and others deal with Tuli? The question has been kept silent. What they are waiting for is this urgent report from Sun Xiangfu.

Throughout the ages, after surrendering, Tuli was one of the overlords who did not end well because they were rich.

After Sun Xiangfu's urgent report arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin directly reduced the title of duke originally intended to be granted to Tuli to him as a county magistrate, and the Weinan county magistrate who was still plagued by smallpox gave him a house in Chang'an city, where the servants Dozens of people, it's nothing, there is no chance for him to leave Chang'an, let alone return the property.If there is no accident, Tuli will spend his whole life in Chang'an with the county government's salary and wait to die.

However, the current focus of the imperial court is not on how to deal with Tuli, but on the invitation card brought back by Li Jing's army. At the investment promotion conference, the supervisory censor of the imperial court was invited to attend the meeting, and it was also possible to supervise on the spot whether he, the local chief official, had bent the law for personal gain and was suspected of doing business for profit.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a local official who took the initiative to ask the supervisory censor to go to the local area to perform his duties. Sun Xiangfu was the first shot, and at the same time, he threw out the relatively unfamiliar vocabulary of "investment attraction".

The invitation that Li Jing handed over to the imperial court is the best publicity for Sun Xiangfu's so-called investment promotion conference. It doesn't matter who is in the court, the powerful families and merchants from all over the place, so, although I don't know this investment invitation What happened to the conference, but everyone was ready to go and see.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to go to Shanyang."

The one who spoke was none other than Wei Zheng, the chief censor of the Tang Dynasty.

But he didn't know that his words were like sounds of nature to Li Shimin. Recently, Li Shimin's hair was almost standing on end. Regarding the matter of selling cowpox for money, he originally wanted to impeach Sun Xiangfu Yes, but who knows, after some investigation, he found that all the money from selling the cowpox was returned to the inner palace by Li Shimin, which is not bad, how could the emperor be so greedy for profit!

But he has not calculated how much Li Shimin spends every day to maintain such a big situation in Guanzhong. This is the food, drink and production work of millions of people. As an emperor, he cannot use all his bets to bet on Lingnan and The food in Huainan can be transported to Chang'an smoothly, what if there is an accident?Can the stomachs of millions of people go hungry for a few days without eating?
Therefore, Li Shimin very much agrees with Sun Xiangfu's suggestion to get more money and reserve more food as a backup. The most difficult time has not yet come!
Now, poor Li Shimin finally had a chance to present the ball to another poor Sun Xiangfu. Of course, he agreed with both hands and feet. Therefore, Li Shimin agreed directly without waiting for other ministers to express their views.

However, Wei Zheng's final travel team may be a bit large. Those small families may not know what this "investment attraction" will be, but Cui Zheng, Wang Lu and the others know it. In order to increase the words of his family in this meeting Quan, they all elected their own officials to accompany them.

For this kind of person who loves to open mouths without doing practical things, Li Shimin felt that one less world would be much cleaner, so he naturally agreed to all of them. He now hopes that Sun Xiangfu can divert the attention of these guys, and he can do well. Do a good job of disaster relief in Guanzhong.

After this matter was finalized, today's court meeting was considered to be over, but Li Jing was once again called to the imperial study by Li Shimin.

"How are the Hu merchants preparing?" Li Shimin asked Li Jing in a low voice after dismissing all the servants.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, they have no objection to the minister taking them to take a detour to Shuozhou. The minister Sun Zhengming has shown the new product to them in private these days, and it is very attractive to them." Slightly excited Li Jing replied.

In other words, Li Shimin asked such a common question, how could it excite a generation of military gods who always keep calm and calm!Of course there is a following.

That's because Sun Zhengming came up with a very bold idea after having a deep chat with Li Jing under the city of Mayi.

Li Jing told Sun Xiangfu that the land of Shuozhou is very important. If Huihe and Xue Yantuo have different ideas about Datang, the bridgehead of Shuozhou will not fall, and they dare not march into the Central Plains.

If the imperial court wanted to attack Xieli, starting from Shuozhou would not only be close, but also be able to surprise him, because this army could go all the way through the grasslands and deserts, kill Xieli behind, and surprise him.

Then, Sun Xiangfu's brain started to work. It is the most labor-saving way to fight Jieli, use a surprise attack, and directly capture the leader of the thief. Xieli launched an attack.

However, through the intelligence system, Sun Xiangfu knew that the winner of Jieli and Tuli was the shadow of Wang Lin's gang of aristocratic families. To launch a surprise attack on Xieli, even the people inside Datang have to hide it, which is very difficult.

However, if you have a direction, you will always find a way. In the end, Sun Xiangfu thought of a way. When Li Jing's expeditionary force came to Shuozhou, there were 5000 people, and when they escorted Tuli and some Turkic captives back to Chang'an, they were Three thousand Mayi city men in military uniforms and one thousand soldiers from the Shuozhou Unity Camp, the real expeditionary force, have always been in the Shuozhou Unity Camp barracks in Mayi.

Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu took out some perfumes to Li Jing and asked him to recommend this Shuozhou unique product to Hu merchants in the Western Regions, leading them to Shuozhou by detour, not only allowing them to participate in the Shuozhou product exhibition Yes, buying the goods produced in Shuozhou this year will also allow Li Jing to come to Shuozhou with thousands of elite cavalry troops from Chang'an.

With nearly [-] of the most elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty in hand, this is several times stronger than when Li Jing raided Jieli in history. After all, both the degree of equipment and the number of people have been multiplied, and the probability of success will increase. very high.

Li Shimin naturally agreed with the plan of these two people. From a strategic point of view, Li Jing and Sun Xiangfu's plan was very feasible, but he was a little worried about the problem of food and grass.

Seeing Li Shimin's worried face, Li Jing said again, "Your Majesty, Sun Zhengming said that the opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. In the spring, Wang Xu once gave him 70 spice seeds in order to get the spice seeds in his hand. Although more than half of Wanshi's grain is consumed now, the rest is enough for the army to go out. Moreover, this year Shuozhou has a bumper harvest, and the grain produced in the fields has a lot of surplus. If other armies have needs, Shuozhou can help It's a lot of burden."

"I'm worried that if we can't fight, we, Tang Dynasty, can't afford this protracted war."

Li Shimin probably knew something about the grain. In the letter, Sun Xiangfu said frankly that although Shuozhou did not grow much grain this year, in addition to feeding the local residents, it was enough to ensure that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had enough food. Even if Li Jing's more than 1 cavalry are supported all year round, Shuozhou's future output will not be a problem, because this year Shuozhou's wheat is planted under his personal guidance, and the yield per mu is more than four stones.

"Sun Zhengming also said, please don't forget, Your Majesty, he has the means of raising seedlings in advance, which can make Guanzhong next year's crops mature at least two months earlier. There is food produced there.”

Li Jing's words made Li Shimin suddenly think of the scene when Sun Xiangfu first told him about breeding and raising seedlings. Unexpectedly, this kind of ability can solve big problems at such a critical time. It has matured for many months, which means that the imperial court can reduce the burden of several million stones when preparing food and grass. In this way, Li Shimin no longer hesitated.

"Pharmacist, I entrust all the most important power in my hands to you. I hope you can win the battle and wipe out the Turkic border troubles for the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin took out a troop-deploying tiger talisman from his cuff and handed it to Li Jingdao.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

After receiving the tiger talisman with Li Shimin's body temperature, Li Jing suddenly felt that the most important moment in his life was coming. At this moment, his mind only had three words, destroy the Turks.
