Chapter [-] You will be the first day of junior high school and I will be the fifteenth day
The Han people rescued from Tubo all arrived in Yezhou with the brigade.In the minds of these people, Yezhou has never even heard of its name, so it must be a newly built wild place.

However, when they left the Qipan Valley, they were all dumbfounded. What they saw before their eyes was a road as dark as ink. This road was naturally made of asphalt mixed with stones, and then rolled by rolling stones. This road is about six feet wide and extends to the distance, like an official road extending to the sky, and a four-wheeled carriage speeding on the road.

These people were pulled in front of a puddle surrounded by stones, which was a hot spring, and the natural hot spring water was steaming. These people, separated from men and women, were forced to take a bath.

In fact, there is no way to do this. Chen Ying found that the Han slaves who were looted to Tubo were really miserable. Their clothes were ragged and there were some clothes. The key is that many of these Han slaves didn’t even have clothes. The ones that were picked up from the corpses were not bad, but they were probably rotten corpses. Compared with human muscles, the clothes were stronger. Even though the corpses had turned into bones, the clothes on the bones could still be clearly seen.

A strong smell of sulfur came to the nostrils. They walked nearly two thousand miles of mountain roads and were already exhausted at this moment. Let alone forcing them, they were all willing to take a bath.It's just that the bath water is too hot.These people jumped into the bathing pool with gritted teeth and screaming. However, sharp-eyed people noticed that the servants in front of the women's pool and the men in front of the men's pool were holding up their clothes and packages with iron hooks. Yes, put it in the car and take it away.

Clothes may be their only property. Seeing their clothes being pulled by carts, these Han people burst into tears. They were still naked and wanted to get their clothes back.It's just that they saw the bow and arrow at the side, but subconsciously pretended not to see it.

When they finished taking a shower, someone threw them brand new clothes and said, "Choose your own number, big, medium and small. If you really don't feel comfortable wearing it, just make do with it!"

Clothes, four sets per person, two summer clothes, two cotton padded clothes.The quality of these clothes is not very good. They are all made of fine linen, spun into threads, and woven into cloth, which is a little uncomfortable to wear.But now they don't dare to pay too much attention.

The officer who led the team said to the people who had changed their appearance: "An Xin will stay here, and three meals a day will be provided regularly. Don't expect to eat well, but at least you won't be hungry! In a few days, you will be hungry." Some people come to count and register, those under 13 years old go to school, the young and old go to work, the old and weak women and children look after the house, as long as they work hard, they can always survive!"

All the people nodded like chickens pecking at rice.Then they learned the power of what Xizhou calls "don't expect to eat too much."

Breakfast is steamed buns, buns, a little pickles, and a cup of tea soup with cheese per person.

Lunch is three dishes and one soup, shredded radish or pumpkin, wax gourd or radish stew and green vegetables, and egg soup or pimple soup.

Dinner is still three dishes and one soup, but the soup is replaced by broth.

All the people hiccupped and said that their standard of living was on par with the tribal leaders and their leaders in Tubo.

Originally, at the beginning of spring, Chen Ying cultivated more than 300 million mu of land in [-] counties in [-] states of Xizhou Road. However, as Liu Tong and Xunxiang adopted guerrilla tactics on the snowy plains of Tubo, it was not at all possible. Fight the Tubo people head-on, and specifically pick the place where the Tubo people are empty.And in Liu Tong and Xunxiang, they also established a united front with the Tubo people.

Liu Tong even took out the slogan that Chen Yingchu shouted at the foot of Helan Mountain and the Hetao area: "Kill the nobles, divide the cattle and sheep!" The army took away some of the captured cattle, sheep and horses, and then released all the slaves in the Tubo tribe, and distributed the grain, cattle and sheep that could not be taken away to them.

As Liu Tong and Xunxiang became more and more powerful, more and more Han slaves were rescued. In addition to the initial [-] slaves, Liu Tong sent a total of [-] to [-] slaves. Han people.

However, the time for spring plowing has passed, so Chen Ying had to ask people to divide and disrupt them to form villages one by one, planting hemp, cotton, and weaving.

Among the Han people who were rescued, women accounted for the vast majority. In the era of small-scale peasant economy, men farmed and women weaved, and women were qualified weavers. General Chen Yingrang built looms and spinning wheels for them to spin and weave. .

In fact, the clothes these people are wearing now are not pure linen, but a mixture of linen and wool. This kind of cloth is not only strong, but also has good warmth retention properties.

While reclaiming wasteland and land in Xizhou, Chen Ying developed the textile industry on Xizhou Road.Now Xizhou Road, regardless of ethnic groups, no longer disagrees.Because Chen should buy wool from them. Wool is garbage in the hands of nomads. When no one buys it, they can't make any money.However, with the rise of the textile industry, wool was bought for a penny a catty at the beginning, and now it has risen to two pennies.

In other words, a family of herdsmen can earn several hundred renminbi more, buy clothes, and keep the whole family from being cold.

The textiles of Xizhou Road are not only consumed internally, but also sold externally.Gradually, Xizhou Road gradually formed a series of basic industries, such as salt making in Yanze, Jinman, Mulei, steel in Wensu, and countless official roads built with asphalt.

Some tribes and villages that did not exist on the entire Xizhou Road slowly appeared. These so-called savages are weak tribes hiding in the Tianshan, Kunlun Mountains, and Altai Mountains. They see that there is no war on Xizhou Road. By paying part of the tax to the Dadu Protectorate established by the Tang Dynasty, they can live well, and no one can arbitrarily annex or expel them.

……

"The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and Hu Tian blows snow in August. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloom."

With the beginning of August, the weather in Xizhou has finally turned cooler, and of course it has entered the harvest season.In the fifth year of Wude, most of the [-] counties in the [-]th prefecture of Xizhou Road had a bumper harvest.

There are a total of 350 million mu of grain fields, with a total income of more than 600 million shi of grain.Although the output is much lower than that of the Central Plains, Xizhou Road has only more than [-] households and a population of more than one million. The [-] million shi of grain can basically meet the consumption of the population.

Moreover, Xizhou Road has a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as a lot of meat.In the Central Plains, mutton can be sold for more than [-] yuan a catty. In Xizhou Road, mutton is very cheap, and there are also pigs, chickens, ducks and other poultry that are collectively raised in various prefectures.

Chen Ying plagiarized a fine tradition of the People's Liberation Army of later generations to grow vegetables and raise pigs by himself to Datang.The brigades under the jurisdiction of each Zhechong Mansion range from dozens to hundreds of pigs. There are no fewer than [-] pigs in the [-] Zhechong Mansions on Xizhou Road alone.After more than half a year of growth, the piglets have reached a hundred catties. As for the chickens and ducks, there are also very impressive numbers. If Chen Ying was not worried about the occurrence of bird flu and plague, he would really dare to manage Xizhou Road like Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

According to incomplete statistics, all Zhechong prefectures on Xizhou Road can basically satisfy their own self-sufficiency in vegetables and meat (pork).

Cotton, which Chen Ying vigorously promoted, also had a bumper harvest.Because of this season, the function of cotton has not yet been developed. For the cotton that Chen Dahu asked to plant, the people of Xizhou Road planted it for the first time. They have neither experience nor thoughtfulness to manage it. up.It belongs to barbaric growth, but fortunately, due to diseases, pests, and drought and little rain, cotton grows gratifyingly.

More than 600 mu of cotton is actually the result of symbolic planting by more than [-] households on Xizhou Road, but they have harvested a full [-] million catties of cotton, which is enough to make more than [-] sets of quilts or millions of sets cotton coat.

In addition to textiles, Xizhou Road now has another key product that is cotton-padded clothes or quilts.However, because the quilt has good warmth retention and no peculiar smell, of course, in this era, due to the backwardness of technology, no matter whether it is wool or down, it cannot be as odor-free as later generations.

Well now, a cotton coat or a cotton quilt can be sold for up to ten strings.But this is still in short supply.

Minaval finally left Gaoche City and returned to the Sasanian Empire. Although Chen Ying did not let her take away the Modao, Mingguang Armor or Hook Spear as she wished, he sold her a full [-] catties of fine steel.But Chen Ying is really dark. He emptied out the caravan carried by Minerval at one time, and provided [-] catties of steel at the price of [-] silver coins. , how much he will provide.

Because of the needs of the situation, the mighty Western Turks still have 30 or [-] cavalry, which is simply not something he can swallow in one gulp. Chen Ying needs to use the power of the Sasanian Empire to consume the strength of the Western Turks.

Once the steel is sufficient and the well-armored Sassanid cavalry will definitely be able to teach the Western Turks how to behave.

This kind of thing, the United States did not do less in later generations, and later generations called this a proxy war.

Chen Ying is now going to use steel to buy him time.

Although Chen Ying was on Xizhou Road, he was paying close attention to what happened in the Central Plains. However, due to the delay of the news, the news Chen Ying received was delayed by three months.

Princess Pingyang was assassinated by the Jieyu River, which made Chen Ying very worried.He wrote to Shan Xiongxin in Lingzhou, asking Shan Xiongxin to send a team of elites back to Chang'an to secretly protect Li Xiuning's safety.

At this moment, there was a piece of information that made Chen Ying feel strange.

That is, Yang Wenqian ordered a full 50 catties of steel from Lingzhou.

Steel is a very sensitive strategic material. Any large-scale transaction will be done very carefully. Once it is traded to an enemy country, it will definitely lose more than the gain.

Although the steel that Li Daozhen sold to Gyeongju was purchased successively by more than a dozen companies, Li Daozhen didn't ignore it after the sale, but in secret tracking, these steels gradually gathered in Zhang Jingshan's hands.

This Zhang Jingshan is Yang Zhida's personal follower.With Zhang Jingshan's financial resources, Chen Ying believed that he bought a hundred and eighty catties of steel, but with such a huge figure of 50 catties, Chen Ying felt that something was wrong!
Just when Chen Ying was at a loss, Chen Ying suddenly remembered the most famous event in history.Yang Wenqian rebelled.

During the battle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng for the heir apparent, although the two fought openly and secretly, it was far from the point of life and death, but after an introduction, the two began to kill each other.

This introduction is the Yang Wengan Rebellion.In history, in June of the seventh year of Tang Wude (624), Li Yuan went to Renzhi Palace in Yijun County, north of Chang'an, to escape the summer heat. He ordered Li Shimin and Li Yuanji to follow, and Li Jiancheng stayed behind in the capital.Suddenly, he got a secret report that Prince Li Jiancheng secretly communicated with Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, and was raising arms to rebel.Li Yuan was furious, and ordered Li Jiancheng to be summoned to Renzhi Palace for other reasons.Li Jiancheng was terrified. Some of his subordinates advised him to attack the city, while others advised him to plead guilty alone.Li Jiancheng obeyed the latter.As soon as he saw his father, he fell to the ground and worshiped, hit his head on the ground, and almost fainted.Li Yuan was so angry that he couldn't calm down, so he detained Li Jiancheng and gave him only rough food.

Li Yuan ordered Yang Wenqian to see him, but unexpectedly, the messenger told Yang Wenqian what Li Yuan had learned about the plot, and Yang Wengan immediately raised his troops.While Li Yuan sent people to crusade, he called Li Shimin to discuss countermeasures, and insisted that Li Shimin conquer and suppress himself, promising to return the court after victory, abolish the prince and replace him with Li Shimin.Seeing what his father said, Li Shimin led his troops to the expedition.Before the army arrived, Yang Wenqian's army was already in chaos, and Yang Wengan died at the hands of his subordinates.

Li Yuan saw the problem with Yang Wengan's rebellion, so he broke his promise. Instead of abolishing the prince and changing the king of Qin, he went up and down.

Although Chen Ying knew that the Yang Wengan Rebellion broke out only in the seventh year of Wude history, but in this time and space, is Yang Wengan really rebellious?
Thinking of this, Chen Ying didn't dare to be careless.He immediately wrote a sincere letter to Li Jiancheng, asking Li Jiancheng to pay attention to Yang Wenqian.

Just after Chen Ying's letter was sent, another incident came into Chen Ying's field of vision.

Chen Ying didn't dare to be careless.

The assassination of Li Xiuning actually had the shadow of Hou Mo and Chen Xu.

Chen Ying was furious, he slapped on the table and shouted: "Bastard, you dare to touch my woman!"

Originally, Chen Ying didn't want to go back to Chang'an. Even though Chen Qian was born more than a year ago and could walk now, he didn't go back to Chang'an.

It was because they were afraid of being involved in the Xuanwumen Incident.

Now, Chen Ying couldn't care less.

Originally, Chen Ying knew that Li Shimin had bad intentions, and he also knew that Li Shimin had launched a series of conspiracies. Chen Ying didn't want to change the course of history, because he really didn't know whether Li Jiancheng would be like Li Shimin in history and build Datang into a A world-class hegemon.

As the saying goes, no one will feel pain if the needle does not pierce the flesh.Now Chen Ying was enraged.Hou Mo and Chen Xu are Li Shimin's people. No matter what his motives are, he dared to instigate a dead man to assassinate Li Xiuning, which shows that he has no regard for brotherhood. Chen Ying doesn't care who he is. Blame me for being fifteen!
