The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1532 The Current Situation in Gaochang

After inspecting the market and the army, Li Xiang also met with some officials from Gaochang. After General Mo Lun left, the officials in Gaochang are now relatively scattered. There are no major officials. Most of them are county guards from various counties.

According to the division of the imperial court, the land of Gaochang was originally divided into six counties and 47 counties.

At the original royal palace in Gaochang, Li Xiang also received these people in turn. Most of them were Han Chinese from the mainland, and a few were local people. When the counties were first divided, the imperial court also sent many people over. Although When they first arrived, they were in a hurry and did not know much about many local conditions. However, after this period of familiarity, they basically understood the situation in their respective territories.

Many Gaochang officials also noticed it. When His Highness Taisun summoned them, he would often say a few words of encouragement and then go directly. But if they are Han officials, they will talk about some serious things. It seems that we are going to If we want to have deeper contact with His Highness the Grand Sun, we must perform meritorious service on the battlefield. Otherwise, we will never be able to integrate with him based on our original family background.

Li Xiang actually did this on purpose. Before he came, he had already asked people to spread the news and told them about the courtesy that General Mo Lun received in various places. If you also want to have such treatment, Then you must have great achievements on the battlefield. As long as you can make achievements on the battlefield, the Tang Dynasty will never treat you badly.

Many people know that this is a trick, which is what many people call Yang, but what can they do? They can only dig into this bag honestly, because everyone hopes to climb up. If they stay in one place specifically, then they don't have to come out to be officials. Now that they have come out, then Who doesn’t want to become a bigger and bigger official?

The Han officials looked at all this with cold eyes. Of course they knew the famous saying of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, that is, people who are not of our race must have different hearts. If you people want to be on an equal footing with us, you will have to pay more than twice the price. , if it is unfair, then who told you not to be reincarnated as a Han Chinese?

After meeting with all these officials, Li Xiang led the army and continued westward. The territory of Gaochang was relatively prosperous. Every ten miles, they could encounter some tribes on the edge of the grassland, but Compared with the last time Li Xiang came here, there are no more young people in the tribe.

Thinking about the hundreds of thousands of Gaochang troops, Li Xiang knew where these young people had gone. If they continued to graze on the grasslands, their lives would be improved at most, but if they joined the Tang army, That can fundamentally improve the class of the whole family.

The story of General Molun has been compiled into a fast-paced book, and is now being talked about among the major armies in the Western Regions. Many soldiers in the Western Regions also regard General Molun as their idol, and they dream of one day being able to serve the Tang Dynasty. Hummer took credit, and then went to Chang'an City to meet with His Majesty the Emperor.

Now that General Molun has gone to the south to serve as the Protector, they certainly know how large a territory a Protector has to manage. If one day they have that ability, their life will be much more exciting.

Li Xiang's brainwashing methods can be said to be various. Anyone may become the protagonist of the story. For high-level people, look at General Mo Lun, and for low-level people, look at many Gaochang soldiers. They have grown from ordinary soldiers to officers. Then he received a bonus from the court, and then he was able to let his family live in Chang'an City.

Anyway, it is said that there are very few people with noses and eyes who can really go to live in Chang'an City. Except for the original Gaochang nobles, ordinary people can be said to be very few. However, news spreads extremely slowly in this era. As long as you can tell this If you lie well enough, there will be no place for others to verify the truth. In the eyes of everyone, Chang'an City is like a paradise in this world. If you can move your whole family, old and young, to live in Chang'an City, it will be worth it even if you risk your own life. It is the same as the Western Regions. Three days Large yellow sand once and small yellow sand once every two days. If you are not prepared, you can spit out half a catty of sand after returning home.

And they also got another news. The average life span in the Western Region is only about forty years old. Thinking about it, it is indeed the case. If there are people over fifty years old in a tribe, it is indeed a happy thing.

But around Chang'an City, people in their fifties are everywhere, and there are even people in their seventies and eighties. This shows that Chang'an City is protected by gods. Li Xiang understands that the natural environment there is slightly worse. That's good, but people in this era don't understand that they can relate everything to gods.

When Li Xiang knew the legends of these people, Li Xiang didn't think about standing up to expose them. You can think whatever you want, just think it has something to do with the gods. Anyway, even under the influence of the gods, then He is also willing to take his family to live in Chang'an City.

"Your Highness, the major tribes in Gaochang are still rich. This time during the war against the Arab Empire, Mr. Xiao and I have discussed it. If the tribes in Gaochang contribute money, they can collect nearly 8 million. Guan Qian."

Li Xiang and Zhang Jiuli rode a carriage together. Zhang Jiuli saw Li Xiang and kept looking at the tribes on both sides of the carriage. The tents inside were layered one after another, and some tribes stretched for several miles. It was obvious that they were very rich.

"Will it affect their normal life and production?"

This number is indeed quite large. You must know that this is the Gaochang Kingdom, not the inland area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. Even in the inland areas of the Tang Dynasty, where agricultural production is relatively high, if you want to collect this tax, That is also a bit difficult. I didn't expect these people in Gaochangguo to be so rich.

"Some tribes can be affected, but most tribes cannot be affected. These people used to herd sheep. Now after a war, the number of people has decreased a lot, and their pastures have expanded, so Their wealth has increased a lot.”

Zhang Jiuli has investigated these people, and their drafts have been submitted, but they have not come down yet, so he simply reported directly to Li Xiang, mainly because Li Xiang had too many things to do. Stare at them. (End of chapter)
