Ji Tang

Chapter 287
It’s spring in March, but it’s still a bit cold in the endless prairie in the north.

Green pastures, cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains, herdsmen waving whips, and circular tents not far away.

When the grass grows and the orioles fly, it is also the busiest time for grassland herders. In addition to working from dawn to dusk every day to manage the grazing, they also have to think about where to go after the grassland is eaten up by cattle and sheep.

The severe winter has just passed, the supplies prepared last year are already scarce, and cattle and sheep cannot be slaughtered.

Therefore, they are very eager to trade some broken promises and other daily necessities with the traveling merchants on the grassland. Otherwise, how can they survive this day!

I heard from the tribal leader that the original Khan had been captured by the Han Dynasty in the south, and some powerful tribes on the grassland had also disappeared.

Of course they know where those tribes have gone, but what does that have to do with them?

It's not their turn to worry about the matters of the big men, they just need to take care of their cattle and sheep.

His tribe has signed something with the Tang Dynasty. The leader said that they will be the subjects of the Tang Dynasty from now on, and they will go to Chang'an to meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in a while.

They were a little confused. When did the emperor of the south become the master of these great masters?
But when they saw an army appear on their tribe, they understood.

Especially when he saw the leader who was so arrogant in front of them now kneeling at the feet of those people, his trembling body showed his cowardice.

They all understood the truth, that is, they would really be under the control of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from now on.

At the same time, those people also brought them exciting news.

"Everyone listen!"

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty realized that life was not easy for He'er and others, and it was inconvenient to exchange many things, so he ordered the establishment of several large markets on the grassland."

"Those who want to exchange and buy supplies can go to trade, whether it is tea, salt, cloth, silk, or pottery."

A school captain from the Tang Dynasty came. He spoke Chinese and Turkic dialect and explained the matter twice until everyone understood it.

"But what should we do if those businessmen bully us?" said an older herdsman.

"Huh?" The captain turned around to look, but his actions shocked the elderly herdsman.

"Don't worry, you are all His Majesty's subjects now. If you feel it is unfair, you can go to the picket department to report it. As long as it is true, you will be given justice."

They were dubious about the captain's words. They were really indebted to those merchants. Back then, they took three fat sheep and only gave them a pound of salt. It was simply too shameful.

But they didn't say anything else, but were going to take a look first, even if it was a small loss, after all, there were some things they needed, so they couldn't help but want it!
When the captain saw that the matter was done, he was about to leave, but when he saw the leader who was still kneeling on the ground, he said: "This time it is your majesty's grace. The herdsmen can do the transactions themselves, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"If someone knows that you dare to touch him."

"Shh!"

The captain twitched his sword and slashed it towards the bowl-thick flagpole without thinking.

"boom!"

Looking at the flagpole that was cut off instantly and its flat section, he buried his head lower and said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare!"

"Hey, forgive me, you don't dare!"

He put away the horizontal sword and left with everyone.

The tribal leader stood up tremblingly, wiped the cold sweat from his body, and looked at the retreating figure of Tang Jun with lingering fear.

"Chief, do we really let these people trade on their own? Then let's" "Bang!"

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, the leader slapped him and growled: "Are you trying to kill me? Don't you know where the missing tribes have gone these days?"

"Tell the others to put away their claws. If my leader knows who dares to cause trouble, I won't do anything to Tang Jun. I will take care of him first."

"Did you hear me?"

The man covered his face and trembled: "I know."

Such a scene is not just one place. According to Ji Song's idea, a total of three large markets were set up in the original Turkic Royal Court, Baidao in the north of Dingxiang, and north of Youzhou.

Based on these three points, it radiates towards the entire grassland.

Soon, in less than half a month, most places in the north knew the news, and many herdsmen under Turkic control spontaneously gathered towards these places.

As for worrying about someone taking advantage of this opportunity to do evil, Li Jing said, would you like to give it a try?

Do you really think he sent those warriors out to hang out during this period?If it weren't for the constantly scrapped swords and armor, others would really believe it.

Some die-hard Jieli and Turkic people are on the list of liquidators this time. Tribes that are capable of rebellion and have strength may no longer exist at this time!
Therefore, they were not worried about what would happen this time, but they still needed to take precautions. Therefore, Li Jing sent three cavalry groups of [-] people to garrison these places respectively, just in case.

Tieshan camp, in the rear army camp.

Ji Song was teasing the two little guys. During this time, they had made great progress and were able to catch some wild animals such as hares.

In addition to these, he also ordered Quinlan to train them specifically for other abilities, such as detection, sending messages, and using different calls to express different messages.

Only then did he realize how powerful Kunlan was. He was simply a natural falconer. Ji Song had many methods that Ji Song had never heard of, but they were quite effective.

In order to train their abilities, Kunlan repeatedly stopped Ji Song from feeding cooked meat to Ying Da and Ying Er.It is said that it will kill their wild nature.

Ji Song didn't take it seriously at first, but looking at the guy who was developing vertically, he had to admit that what Quinlan said made sense.

So, no matter how coquettishly and wallowing they were, Ji Song cut off their supply of cooked meat.

Apart from being a little disgusted in the first few days, I soon started eating raw meat, and my body slowly returned to its original slender appearance.

Now, under Quinlan's training, they are able to send messages as accurately as possible within a radius of a hundred miles, and they can also simply convey instructions about whether there is someone ahead.

When Li Jing learned about Ji Song's two prairie eagles, the jealous look in his eyes could be felt even from a distance.

But he also asked other people, and after knowing how difficult it was for Ji Song to be recognized by two young eagles in that situation, he could only let go of the idea of ​​raising one himself.

In addition to the reasons why his wish could not come true, he also had other troubles.

That is, the people sent by the emperor have entered the grassland. The leader this time is Chen Shou, who is beside His Majesty. They are rushing in a hurry, as if they are anxious for something.

Why is Chen Shou so anxious? He knows that Empress Xiao is holding that thing in her hand. Can Your Majesty not be anxious?

But thinking about the big noise he made on the grassland during this period, he had a headache. Anyway, he had already thought about it. As soon as Chen Shou arrived, he would immediately return to the pass.

If he stayed on the grassland any longer, he would have to do something, but considering the things he had done before and the things he almost missed, it might not be so good if he went back!
