Man Tanghong

The general manager A Xijie mentioned by the soldiers who reported the victory was the great chieftain of the Azhang Department.

After he returned to Datang along with Ashina Simo, he was temporarily appointed as the deputy chief of the Mobei Road March, and the marching chief was Ashina Simo.

As for his specific official title, it will not be awarded until after the war.

Unlike Ashina Simo, he did not get the title of Tang Dynasty in advance, so conferring him a title must be carried out together with other Turkic chiefs who have surrendered to Tang Dynasty.

Of course, since he followed Ashina Simo and returned to the Tang Dynasty, with Ashina Simo's relationship, he would not be cleared.

But his family still had to be sent to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Yuanji had already guessed the result from the expressions of the soldiers who reported the victory, after hearing the words of the soldiers who reported the victory, there was still a trace of joy in his heart, and he nodded and praised: "Okay, good, Li Aiqing and Zhang Aiqing are really good!" You have lived up to my expectations!"

Xieli was caught, which means that the Turks have officially become a thing of the past.

From then on, Datang was avenged for being humiliated by the Turks.

Since then, Datang has never worried about Turkic invasion.

Since then, there is only one powerful country left on this land, and that is Datang!

Li Shimin, Li Shiji and others also laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

The depression that had been bullied by the Turks for many years finally dissipated today.

Since then, the sky is wide, the sea and the sky are open, and Datang is allowed to leap!
Since then, the sky is high and the earth is long, let the Tang Dynasty gallop!
From now on, Datang will be the only overlord on this land!
"I pass on my king's order. From the beginning to the end of the Tang Dynasty, on the third day of the Daqing Festival, there will be no prohibition (referring to the curfew). Anyone who is over sixty years old can receive one liter of wine and five catties of meat at the local government.

All children born this year can lead a sheep in the local government! "

Li Yuanji stood up slowly and announced grandly.

The eyes of the people in the big tent almost popped out.

Anyone who is over [-] years old can go to the local government to receive one liter of wine and five catties of meat. This is a normal operation.

Every time the whole country celebrates, it is done like this.

Although there is more wine and meat rewarded this time, the whole country is celebrating, and there is no need to care about these details.

More importantly, there are not many old people in the Tang Dynasty who are over sixty years old, so even if the rewards are generous, it will not cost much.

But giving a sheep to each child born this year is terrifying.

Datang is now encouraging births, and the rewards are extremely generous. The increase or decrease of the population in various places has a closer relationship with the achievements of local officials. Therefore, in today's Datang, not only the people are scrambling to have children, but officials from all over the country are also vying to have children. Chasing after the people and urging the people to have children.

There is no such thing as not being able to marry a wife, or not wanting children, in Datang today.

Those who cannot afford a daughter-in-law will be paid by the government, or they will be matched by the government. For those who do not want children, the petty officials in the yamen, or even officials, will come to do ideological work in person.

For those who are more stubborn, there are those who feed Chunfengsan and force to have children.

It is precisely because of this that there have been many cases of officials violating regulations in various places, but this also just shows that officials in various places have used everything to control the population and political achievements under their control.

In this case, the population of Datang is increasing every day, and the increase is still terrifying.

So far this year, the number of newborns reported from all over the country has reached 460 million, excluding those who will die, there are also 400 million.

If each of these newborns were to be rewarded with a sheep, it would be three to four million.

This is quite a huge number, and it is also a luxury that cannot be extravagant.

So Li Shimin, Li Shiji and others couldn't accept it for a while, and couldn't believe it.

After all, a reward of this scale is beyond people's understanding.

"Gudu..."

Chu Suiliang was the first to recover, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva forcibly, he said with difficulty: "Are you... serious?"

Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Of course, I won't joke about this kind of thing."

Chu Suiliang couldn't restrain the throbbing in his heart, and blurted out: "But isn't this too crazy?"

At this time, Li Shiji and others also came back to their senses, and nodded one by one.

Li Shimin even opened his mouth and said: "You are simply messing around!"

Li Yuanji looked at Chu Suiliang, then at Li Shimin and said, "Are you crazy? Are you messing around? Don't you just notice my Great Tang's capture in Monan, but not my Great Tang's capture in Monan?"

Li Shimin, Li Shiji and others were all taken aback.

Li Yuanji continued: "Jie Li personally led 20 soldiers and horses to conquer Ashina Simo, how many cattle, sheep and horses did he bring?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth, but did not speak.

A rough figure involuntarily appeared in Li Shiji's mind, and it was precisely because of the rough figure in his mind that his tone became difficult when he spoke.

"Estimated... millions..."

Historically, whether it was the Han Dynasty conquering the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty conquering the Turks, or the Ming Dynasty conquering the Mongolian Yuan, the total amount of cattle, sheep and horses captured was in the tens of millions.

However, Datang has now fully defeated and incorporated the Turkic territory ruled by Xieli, and almost wiped out all the cattle, sheep and horses in the Turkic territory ruled by Xieli. The number of cattle, sheep and horses captured is naturally huge .

Naturally, the number of cattle, sheep and horses captured on the final battlefield was in the millions.

Whether it is a barbarian or a yellow head, they dare not, and it is impossible, to share the spoils of the Tang Dynasty under the noses of Li Jing and Ashina Simo.

As the county king of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Simo could not share the spoils without the consent of the Chinese army.

So Datang can get most of the spoils.

The number can reach at least one million.

"Such a huge harvest, if we don't reward the people, how will we digest it?"

Li Yuanji nodded, staring at everyone in the big tent and asking.

The big tent instantly became silent.

Because Datang's demand for cattle, sheep and horses is now saturated, after the previously seized cattle, sheep and horses were distributed, Datang's livestock market has been filled.

With the current population base of Datang, it is already impossible to digest more cattle, sheep and horses.

Going further to Datangsai will only drastically lower the price of livestock.

Although lowering the price of livestock is beneficial to the common people, it will destroy the livestock market and wipe out the livestock market in Datang, and those who rely on raising livestock for a living will lose all their money.

People whose most precious asset in their homes are livestock will also become paupers.

So for the sake of the livestock market, and for the sake of some people, we can no longer sell cattle, sheep and horses to Datang.

As for the sheep newly given to the people, if the people want to sell them, the government can collect them at a fair price.

In this way, the livestock market will not be disturbed, and the common people can be trained to develop the breeding industry.

When the breeding industry develops, the survival skills of the people will not be so single, and the dependence on farming will not be so strong.

The speed of land annexation will slow down, and the speed of digesting the territory on the grassland will also speed up.

Once the breeding industry develops to the point where it can keep pace with the farming industry, the grassland will become an inseparable part of the Central Plains, and there will be no need to worry about the rise of the grassland people and their southward disasters to the Central Plains.

Therefore, as long as this matter is handled properly, not only will it not disturb the livestock market, but it will also add another way of survival for the people of Datang.

Although Datang has always had a breeding industry, the development of the breeding industry has never been able to compare with the farming industry.

There is no way to compare the output of meat with the output of grain.

It can almost be said that one is in the sky and the other is underground.

Therefore, there is still a lot of room for the development of Datang's aquaculture industry.

"We can give it to the Turks who have surrendered to us to raise it..."

Li Shimin said something expressionless, but he didn't mention the gathering place established by Datang in Turkic.

Because the cattle, sheep and horses allotted to the gathering places have already been filled, and there is no way to fill them anymore, and the people in the gathering places will not be able to take care of them any more.

So I can only think of other ways to digest it.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said: "The Turkic people who have surrendered to us are always a minority among the Turkic people. Some of them will stay and continue to help us fight, and some will be moved to the Central Plains.

How can they still have so many people helping us raise cattle, sheep and horses?
Also, what we have won so far is only the territory occupied by Xieli, and the territory occupied by Ashnabil is waiting for us to take it.

There are also Western Turks to the west, and Tuyuhun, which is about to be captured by us.

There are also a large number of cattle, sheep and horses in these places.

At that time, who will raise the extra cattle, sheep and horses in these places? "

After Datang captured most of the Turkic people, and turned some of them into slaves, and the other part into an army, there were not many people who could help Datang herd horses and sheep.

Therefore, it is not advisable to digest cattle, sheep and horses in this way.

Of course, if the Tang Dynasty did not want to occupy Turkic in an all-round way, but occupied Turkic in name, and was willing to support the Turkic people to become kings and hegemony in the Turkic territory again, then they could hand over all the cattle, sheep and horses to the Turkic people for raising.

The problem is that Li Yuanji doesn't want to follow the old path in history, doesn't want to support the Turkic regime, and doesn't want to be a Khan with a name.

He wants to occupy the Turks, wants to completely incorporate the Turks into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and wants the entire grassland to become an inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the Turks cannot be relied on to digest cattle, sheep and horses.

Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.

There are still many enemies that Datang needs to conquer, and these enemies have a large number of cattle, sheep and horses for Datang to capture.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to count on the Turkic people who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to support them.

Because, after all, there were only a very small number of Turkic people who survived this war and were recognized by Datang.

They cannot feed the cattle, sheep and horses which their whole nation possesses.

So it has to be raised and digested by Datang.
