Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 268

Yi Nan may have some wisdom, but a native prairie man, even if he is smart, has a limited amount of wisdom. Not to mention Sun Xiangfu, anyone in Datang who is qualified to go to court can use his brain power to play him around.

After defeating Jieli, Huihe surrendered immediately. However, while Li Shimin was happy, he was also in pain.

Interests are the catalyst for intensifying the fight. When the aristocrats see the Turkic captives, they see the interests. Then, they will fight for it. Even if those people are still gathered in the distant Yumen Pass by Li Jing, they are already arguing The final assignment is up.

In addition, Sun Xiangfu took all the serfs from the aristocratic families to Shanyang, which would also cause a series of sequelae.

Those aristocratic families with children all over the local states and counties began to persecute the people by various means. If they lacked serfs, they would find ways to turn the people under their rule into their own serfs.

Therefore, the number of cases of corruption and persecution of the people in the Tang Dynasty increased exponentially. Li Shimin had to reuse Wei Zheng, and expanded the supervision and censor team to inspect and supervise in various ways.

And these people who are in charge of inspection and supervision cannot be officials of the family line, otherwise, the investigation would be in vain. Therefore, even Ma Zhou was given a part-time official title by Li Shimin and sent out.

The country is getting bigger and bigger, and the dilemma of having no one to use becomes more and more prominent. Datang needs time to digest what he has eaten.

Li Shimin transferred the eldest grandson Wuji back to Chang'an to replace Du Yan as the Minister of the Household Department, and directly promoted the warrior Xun to be the governor of Yangzhou to supervise the taxation of the bean paste workshop. Zi is not the same way, in Li Shimin's view, it can also be used.

In fact, there is a group of people in the Tang Dynasty who can still be used, that is, the sons of merchants. Their families are rich, although they are not as well-educated as the sons of aristocratic families, but they can write and count. Unfortunately, the descendants of merchants are still merchants in terms of household registration. , in this period, it is impossible to become an official.

The formation of the aristocratic family is precisely because the descendants of scholars are still scholars and can be officials for generations. If you want to prevent the emergence and continuation of the aristocratic family, you must break such stereotypes.

Li Shimin now often discusses the imperial examination with several confidant ministers. Now, he has a more mature idea. If the weather is good next year, he wants to start the examination to obtain a scholar. These are all later.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu doesn't need to prepare anything to receive Yi Nan. Shanyang City is right there, and everyone performs their own duties and do their jobs well, so that Yi Nan can see the most authentic Shanyang City.

On the fifth day of November, Yi Nan, who had walked slowly for three or four days on a journey of two to three hundred miles, finally arrived at Shanyang City. Rubbing his eyes, he couldn't believe it.

No wonder Sun Zhengming dared to let him come here. With such a fortified city, only a few thousand defenders are needed. Even if he put tens of thousands of lives in it, he might not be able to break it.

What surprised him even more was that Sun Xiangfu didn't let him live outside the city, but opened the city gate wide open and let all the soldiers and horses he brought into the city.

How strong is this confidence?Yi Nan thought so.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu's confidence in his own military strength is one aspect, but he is not so confident in the quality of Xue Yantuo's generals. The city is the military and administrative area. On the right side of the city gate is the barracks. It was originally built on the scale of 5 people, and it can accommodate all the soldiers and generals of the Anbei Duhufu. With 3 horses, the remaining houses are enough for 5000 people under Yi Nan to live.

Dong Zhu also came to the gate of the city to meet Yi Nan. After explaining to his soldiers, soon, Yi Nan entered the so-called warm house for the first time. It turned out that in the Han people's house, he did not need to wear clothes. Several layers of thick sheepskin jackets.

The place where Sun Xiangfu greeted Yi Nan was in the meeting hall of the military camp. The long benches and tables here were all Yi Nan had never seen before. When pots of fragrant dishes with meat and vegetables were served After that, General Xue Yantuo who entered the hall with Yi Nan began to swallow his saliva.

"Are these vegetables grown in the low walls I saw outside the city?"

At present, it is rare for Yi Nan to point out the crux of the problem.

"Part of it is, and more of it is grown in the greenhouse." Sun Xiangfu on the main seat replied with a smile. At this time, Dong Zhu, who was sitting next to Yi Nan, had already opened a wine jar on his own initiative.

"Brother, hurry up and have a drink. After drinking this wine, you will feel warm all over."

The wine jar was opened, and a strong smell of wine overflowed. Under the signal of Sun Xiangfu's eyes, Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai and others also started to open the wine jar, and poured wine for the generals of Xue Yantuo's department at the banquet. This is a military camp. Alcohol is not allowed, so today only Su Dingfang and Xi Jun bought it, and Abu Tusi led several generals to the table.

As for Guo Po, who is in charge of the defense of the city, he didn't come to accompany the drink.Xue Li even patrolled the camp in armor and holding an iron halberd. He had a great deterrent effect on those generals of Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Yi Nan drank this kind of strong wine that smelled strong before, but because the amount of Dongzhu sent back was too small, not all his generals drank it. After Sangjie smelled the aroma of the wine, Dismounted by Xue Li, his broken nose didn't hurt anymore, and he didn't even need to be greeted by the barbarian. He picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. Then, in an instant, his face turned red and his neck thickened.

Sun Xiangfu looked at Sangjie's embarrassment and smiled, "This wine is very strong, everyone should drink it slowly, eat more vegetables, eat more vegetables, these vegetables, you can't usually eat them on the grassland, especially in winter .”

"To be able to grow this kind of vegetables in a snowy day, Dudu Sun's ability is really amazing."

Yi Nan couldn't help but praise after taking a mouthful of green vegetables with chopsticks and tasting them unskilledly.

"It's just a trivial trick, but this year's time is short, and there are not many warm sheds and snow shelters built. In the coming year, I will definitely ask someone to send some to you for your winter food."

"Then I would like to thank Dudu Sun. By the way, my soldiers, are they eating at this time?"

"Of course, there is a large canteen in the military camp, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to eat at the same time, but there is a meal sharing system. I have asked them to lead them to the canteen to eat, so I can't treat them badly."

When Sun Xiangfu was talking about this issue with Yi Nan, the soldiers under Yi Nan wanted to eat their tongues. The food they received in the barracks was very simple, a large bowl of mutton noodle soup, plus a large pouch Cake, and a small bowl of white wine, less than two taels.

However, it is this simple food, but in terms of taste, it has never been eaten before. There are green leaves in the bowl of mutton noodle soup, and I don’t know what spices are put in. The aroma goes straight to the head Drilling in the hole, the noodles are smooth, fragrant and soft, very fine, and there are sac cakes, which actually have sesame seeds and are sweet, not to mention the small bowl of strong wine. After drinking it, The whole body is warm.

After Yi Nan and his subordinates gobbled it up for a while, Sun Xiangfu said, "Miss Dongzhu has learned some singing and dancing skills with Jiannei recently. After eating and drinking, the leader of Yi Nan can bring the generals first." Go to the sauna to take a bath, change into comfortable clothes, and at night, go to the drama theater in Shanyang City, watch Dongzhu girl's performance, and enjoy the more popular dramas in my Tang Dynasty."

Corrupting Yi Nan will start from the moment he steps into Shanyang City. If eating, drinking and having fun can't corrupt his heart, then Sun Xiangfu will use his interests to guide him, making him have no time to look south.

"Hehe, just now I heard Dongzhu say that you want to take her to Chang'an to show your emperor singing and dancing?"

Yi Nan's smile contained some incomprehensible meaning. During this period, Sun Xiangfu's behavior was equivalent to dedicating his sister to the emperor.Of course, Yi Nan didn't think it was a shame. On the contrary, he still had some expectations in his heart. If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty could form a marriage relationship with his Xue Yantuo, then he, Xue Yantuo, would definitely become a rival in the grassland. Turks are even more powerful countries.

"Yes, if you are sure to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, then after the prisoner presentation ceremony held in Chang'an at the end of the twelfth lunar month, I will bring her to present a song and dance to His Majesty. A good brother agrees with each other, Your Majesty..."

"Good brother? Who is it?"

Hearing this, Yi Nan's complexion changed. In his opinion, even if Dong Zhu could not be Li Shimin's concubine, he should be the wife of someone like Sun Xiangfu. If he casually married a soldier under Sun Xiangfu Yes, that would be too embarrassing.

The voices of the two people talking were not low, how could Dongzhu who was sitting next to them not hear it, Yuchi Baolin was instigated by Sun Xiangfu recently, stalking Dongzhu, and Dongzhu didn't seem to hate him , I like playing with him very much.

"Brother, don't worry about Dongzhu's affairs, go to Chang'an, it's just that my sister is curious and wants to see it."

Seeing Dongzhu's awkward posture, Yinan felt bad, and looked at Sun Xiangfu again with questioning eyes.

"Hehe, my little brother's family background is amazing. His ancestral home is in Shanyang. Moreover, he will be a duke of the state in the future, which is higher than my current title!" Sun Xiangfu explained.

"Duke?"

"Well, he is Wei Chi Baolin, the eldest son of Wei Chi Gong, the Duke of E. He is very skilled in martial arts. Now, Tian is the director of public security in Shanyang City. If you go to see Dong Zhu's performance in the evening, you can Saw him."

Yi Nan naturally knew about the hereditary system of titles in the Tang Dynasty. If it was true what Sun Xiangfu said, that Yuchi Baolin was the future Duke of E, his status would be quite high. He had heard of Yuchigong's name before. There are countless fierce generals in Tang Dynasty, since Sun Xiangfu said that Yuchi Baolin is very skilled in martial arts, he thinks it will not be too bad. After all, he already knows the level of Sun Xiangfu's generals.

However, Yi Nan, who was thinking of marrying the emperor, put Yuchi Baolin in the second echelon and said after taking a sip of wine, "Before my sister meets the Emperor of Tang, it's better not to have anything to do with other men." .”

"So, the leader of Yi Nan is determined to surrender to my Tang Dynasty?"

"Uh, this..."

After being stunned for a while by Sun Xiangfu's question, Yi Nan said again, "Let me see your Shanyang City first, whether it can really solve the survival problem of my nomadic people!"

　happy New Year everyone!In the new year, collect more red envelopes, receive more blessings, and enjoy more blessings.
