Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 400 Departure of the whole army (today's update)
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Tai happily distributed mooncakes to the people of Henan Province.

At the same time, news came from Gao Jifu from Honglu Temple that because the sage issued an order to expel the alien race, it became more difficult for Honglu Temple to buy alien races.

In the past, as long as they said hello to those Turkic nobles in Chang'an who were stunned by the bustling Chang'an, they were still willing to sell their alien races to Honglu Temple.

After all, for many Turkic nobles, their Eastern Turks were wiped out, and what they had under their command was not their tribe at all, but their wealth.

But now that this group of people has been cleared out of Chang'an, even if Honglu Temple wants to operate, the difficulty of this operation is much higher.

So even Honglu Temple is looking for a new source of goods at this moment, and told Li Tai that this transaction must be stopped for a while.

Hearing this, Li Tai sighed helplessly, expressing that he was not in a hurry, and would just wait until Honglu Temple to continue looking for sources of goods.

Originally, Honglu Temple lived happily up and down, but now the line is broken, and it must be the insiders of Honglu Temple who are complaining.

After all, not to mention, originally relying on this trade line, the staff of Honglu Temple did not say how much money they received, but after all, they received an extra benefit during the Chinese New Year.

Now this line is broken, I am afraid that the year-end red envelopes will be flattened a lot every year.

So after a few months, making these people poor, Li Tai felt that Honglu Temple must be more enthusiastic than himself in opening up new sources of goods.

However, this kind of severance of aliens, although there are still Tubo people in a short period of time, so it has little impact on him, but Li Tai knows that there is no continuous stream of aliens to do things for him, and he wants to carry out a comprehensive Construction is more or less stressful.

This kind of pressure is not a matter of money, but a population limit, and some basic but very dangerous jobs need to be filled with life.

Li Tai, a foreigner, didn't treat them as human beings, and when they were out of sight, they were pure.

But for the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai wished that they could live to be a hundred years old. It is best for each of them to have ten or eight children, so as to restore the population of the Tang Dynasty as quickly as possible. Therefore, if some tasks can not be handed over to the people, then don’t hand them over to the people. .

At this moment, Li Tai heard the news that Li Shimin was going to attack Gaochang Kingdom, which made Li Tai happy.

Although Gaochang Kingdom is considered a small country in the Tang Dynasty, it is actually a country with a population of one million.

I don't ask too much. If I can get a share of the population, I don't have to worry about labor in a short time.

Thinking of this, Li Tai decisively wrote a letter to Li Shimin, saying that he had heard the news that the Tang Dynasty was going to conquest Gaochang Kingdom, and he believed that the Great Tang's military fortune would be prosperous and that Gaochang Kingdom would be destroyed smoothly.

I just hope that at that time, all the non-Han people in Gaochang can be sent to Luoyang, and they will be bought at a price of [-] Wen per person for men and [-] Wen for women.

After Li Tai finished writing, he handed over the letter to Babaili for urgent delivery, and delivered it to Li Shimin as quickly as possible.

"Hmph, when I was assassinated, I never saw you being so active!"

Li Shimin looked at the letter that Li Tai asked Babaili to deliver urgently, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and handed the letter to Fang Xuanling.

"Qing Que, it seems that he wants to do business with the imperial court!" Li Shimin said, "Fang Qing, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the letter sent by Li Tai, shook his head and said, "I really don't know whether it's better to say that King Wei is rich, or that King Wei is a fool!"

"What does Fang Qing mean, don't agree to Qingque's matter?" Li Shimin couldn't help but feel melancholy when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.

"Gaochang is the king of Gaochang, Ju Wentai, who is rampant and domineering, ignoring the power of heaven, but what does this matter to the people of Gaochang.

Now the king of Wei is willing to work his muscles and bones and cultivate his spirit, which is exactly what my Tang Dynasty should have.

I want to tell Hou Junji about this matter, and he said that as long as he can send a strong man from Gaochang to Chang'an, he will reward [-] Wen, and send a young woman from Gaochang to Chang'an, he will reward [-] Wen! "Fang Xuanling said very seriously.

Do not agree?How could you not agree!
Since you want to reform the sergeants, one says to eat meat, and the other says to add iron to armor, all of these require money!

Do you know how to make me, a person who manages money, bullish?

Now finally someone who took advantage of it came out, ah bah, finally the merciful king of Wei gave an order to the court, why would he refuse it.

Even if Hou Junji only got [-] Gaochang brawny men for himself, the imperial court would still be able to collect [-] guan.

Fifty thousand guan, not to mention, at least it is definitely enough food for the army.

Therefore, there are additional benefits to this kind of war, anyway, the court will not refuse.

After all, it was aimed at the destruction of Gaochang Kingdom, who cares what will happen to the people of Gaochang Kingdom in the future.

Of course, from Fang Xuanling's point of view, the Western Regions may still be in troubled times in the future. Don't think that the end of the Tang Dynasty will be over when Gaochang Kingdom is destroyed. I'm afraid it will be the opposite. This is just the beginning.

After all, the Western Turks are still alive, and I am afraid that there will be more wars on the land of the Western Regions in the future.

At this time, the local people can be given a chance to come to the Tang Dynasty. For them, it may not be the beginning of a new life.

Wei Wang said that there is still a bottom line for moral integrity.

Although he never treats other people as human beings, it is a kind of indifference from the heart, and Fang Xuanling who imitates Li Tai's thinking will feel a little shocked.

However, King Wei was really kind to the people of Tang Dynasty. He wished that all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation would make the people live comfortably. The degree of concern was simply unimaginable.

At least in the Zhenguan Dynasty, in Fang Xuanling's view, it could be regarded as being very, very good to the common people.

But in King Wei's opinion, it is not enough. From the establishment of agricultural schools and the various systems established by various attached agricultural schools, Fang Xuanling can see that every move of King Wei is for the convenience of the people. do it.

Even the king of Wei encouraged the people to participate in the construction, and no one impeached the king of Wei for excessive taxation.

The imperial court also knows through the King of Wei that as long as you give money, the common people are actually very happy to work for the imperial court.

But the problem is that, except for the incredible fact that King Wei was able to pay for the people to work, the vast majority of people still chose to conscript corvee instead of paying for the people. There is no way, not everyone is as rich as King Wei.

If Wei Wang's operation was followed, Fang Xuanling felt that the court's finances might collapse within five years.

"I really want to learn how the king of Wei printed money. Otherwise, those Gaochang people are not worth the price!"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said to Li Shimin, "I'm going to draw up an edict for the Chief Hou Junji!"

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded.

Soon an edict was sent to Hou Junji who was in the process of reorganizing the army. Looking at the rewards on the edict, Hou Junji couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Where are Gaochang people so valuable? Fang Xuanling really cares about money." I don’t know money, rice, oil and salt.”

Hou Junji turned his head to look at the adjutant beside him and said, "Tell the whole army that there is a decree from the Holy Spirit that a intact Gaochang strong man captive is worth two hundred coins, and a Gaochang woman is worth one hundred coins, but it needs to be settled after getting Chang'an. Give them a reward!"

When the adjutant heard Hou Junji's words, he couldn't help agreeing excitedly.

To be honest, the regulations this time do not necessarily require soldiers, as long as they are from Gaochang. For soldiers, this is the job they like most.

Because as long as they agree, ordinary people can't resist the army's plunder at all. Now the military order specifies that as long as they are strong men and women, it is easy to operate.

At this time, Lu Dongzan was also in the army, and knew the order issued by Hou Junji, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but sigh,
"The Tang people are indeed rich, and they can use coins to inspire the morale of soldiers. If I, Tubo, are so extravagant..."

Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but shook his head, throwing this ridiculous idea out of his mind.

After all, Datang was so rich that he could do this. For Tubo, the captives had a fart relationship with the low-level soldiers, and they all belonged to the tribal leaders and nobles.

And Datang's policy of allowing soldiers at the bottom to enjoy preferential policies made Lu Dongzan feel refreshed.

"The Tang army pays attention to the interests of soldiers at the bottom, especially every soldier is a military household who owns farmland and does not need to pay taxes.

They only need war, if there is no war, then they can only become ordinary people, but as long as there is war, then they can pass the war, so that they can gain a channel to climb up.

This channel has pure wealth and status promotion, which is something that we in Tubo do not have! "

Lu Dongzan looked at Datang's military system with a somewhat dignified expression. He was a little thankful that his talent was calm, and that he was not careless in the last fight.

If he had just been a little careless in the last confrontation, it would be too dangerous to face such an opponent.

"However, if this is the case, if you want to reform the Tubo military system to the Tang military system, then you need to change not only the military.

There is also a system unique to the Tang Dynasty called the land equalization system. If you learn the land equalization system in the Tang Dynasty, you need to learn the taxation system.

It must be worth mentioning that if this practice of treating the lower class as human beings is carried out, it may be resisted by the tribal nobles.

Because for them, the people in the tribe are not people, but their wealth.

If they want to let their wealth go, I'm afraid it will cause quite a dispute. "

Because Lu Dongzan is more of a sneaky learner, he can understand a lot of things based on what he sees with his own eyes, and he can even draw inferences and think of the related nature of certain systems.

But it must be worth mentioning that this era was when Tubo was still in the period of slave tribes. In history, Songtsan Gampo married Princess Wencheng. He had the opportunity to take the initiative to learn culture from Datang, and asked Datang to send people to assist Songtsan Gampo to complete political reforms.

Even after the death of Songtsan Gampo, Lu Dongzan took over the torch of Songtsan Gampo. During the whole process, he compromised a lot of conditions with the old aristocrats. Only then did he successfully complete the political reform of Tubo and lay the foundation for the future of Tubo as a snow kingdom. The foundation of the domain empire.

But now Lu Dongzan is not born in China, and he doesn't understand what reform means for the country.

It is also not clear that this kind of pain, which is almost flesh-cutting for the old nobles, is definitely not so easy to complete.

Even in the whole of Tubo, if the land equalization system and the government military system are to be implemented, it is not that this system is not good, but that there will inevitably be a lot of turmoil in Tubo.

Because these two systems are based on treating people as human beings, one can imagine the resistance to the current Tubo, which is dominated by the tribal slave system.

But if Tubo can really use this system to achieve transformation, then Tubo will definitely exude amazing vitality.

Because this not only allows the bottom-level people in Tubo, who were originally only regarded as property, to own their own private property, but also have their own upward channels.

In particular, the possibility of rising through war will make ordinary people absolutely very brave in war.

If this system can be implemented for five years, Tubo will surely restore its national strength, and if it is implemented for ten years, it may become a threat that the entire Tang Dynasty cannot ignore.

While Lu Dongzan was still thinking, the entire army had unknowingly arrived in Lanzhou.

And this is the place where Wang Xuance and Hou Jun gathered their troops, and Wang Xuance did not bring many people this time, only the [-] cavalry under his own command, and the [-] academy soldiers led by Tian Changgeng.

It is worth mentioning that the [-] academy soldiers led by Xue Rengui were split up, and only [-] soldiers came to Chang'an, and some people were added to Xue Rengui's headquarters by the imperial court.

Xue Rengui's headquarters are more or less promoted, but because Xue Rengui has become a force to defend Chang'an, it is impossible to use all the soldiers from the academy, and a certain degree of sand is needed.

As for the people who came in, it was easy for Chang'an to master the talent of the legion.

Li Jing and Li Shimin are both talented guys, the real problem is the armor, Li Tai took the order and produced it for them.

The remaining part was reserved for Tian Changgeng to continue training on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and lead new academy soldiers.

This time, Wang Xuance thought about it and decided to bring 5000 men, [-] cavalry, and [-] academy soldiers. At least Wang Xuance felt that no matter what kind of opponent he encountered, he did not seek meritorious service, but he could definitely run. Gain or loss.

However, Hou Junji snorted coldly watching Wang Xuance's arrival.

After all, no matter how you say it, Wang Xuance is stepping on his own face, so it's no wonder that Hou Junji has a good look at Wang Xuance.

And Wang Xuance treated Hou Junji in a business-like manner.

Because Wang Xuance is also very clear that even if he wants to lick, Hou Junji, this Hou Junji, may not give him a good face. Instead of doing this, he might as well do his own job well.

At that time, even if Hou Junji was unfavorable in the battle, it was none of his business anyway, so there was a clear distinction between Wang Xuance's army and Hou Junji's.

In contrast, Lu Dongzan was quite interested in Wang Xuance. After all, no matter what he said, the Tubo army was defeated by Wang Xuance. In the current Tubo territory, Wang Xuance more or less has the effect of making children cry.

However, as he set up camp, Wang Xuance would still interact with Hou Junji's army.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that he has contacts with the medical battalion in Hou Junji's army, which gave Lu Dongzan a chance to meet.

　There are a lot of things at the end of the year. The house is being cleaned today, and tomorrow may be another day, so we can only change it once.
