Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 470 Great Tang!

After Li Yuan's death, Xu Qing was saddened for a long time before recovering. Later, after Yuan Tiangang said it twice, Xu Qing regained his composure.Xu Wen, who is one and a half years old, can already learn to walk and babble. Xu Qing is very happy, and takes him here and there every day, pointing to those properties of the Xu family and telling him that after seeing nothing It's all yours kid.

Xu Yu, on the other hand, still looks like a baby, sleeping all day long.Xu Qing also took a lot of time to accompany Xiaoyue and her.

Yuan Tiangang told Xu Qing that the current historical context has been changed by the death of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and that what will happen in the future is good or bad. what happens.Of course, he also reminded Xu Qing that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he is the only person who has a lifeless appearance, so he must always be vigilant for his own safety, because in this world, there are many scary things besides the thousand-year-old family.For example, although the Guiguzi faction has disappeared for hundreds of years, it is not that it does not exist.Another example is Yuan Tiangang's prophecy, which is enough to harm Xu Qing.

After hearing this, Xu Qing didn't dare to go out for three days, but unfortunately, Li Jiancheng didn't let him have a good time.

The current ministers of the court, the old ministers of Li Yuan's generation, have basically been replaced by new blood, all of whom are Li Jiancheng's cronies.Now Xu Qing knew why the imperial court wanted to set up so many flashy official positions, just to release those unusable old people.As for Xu Qing, as the person Li Yuan always told Li Jiancheng to use, he would naturally not be reduced to idleness.Speaking of which, Xu Qingte is willing to be reduced to that point.

After Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, in March, the Yuan was changed to show prosperity, revealing the meaning of prosperity.In April of the first year of Xiansheng, more than three months had passed since Li Yuan's death. Li Jiancheng sent Xu Qing to the palace in an imperial decree. After Xu Qing left the palace, he had become the Duke of Luonan and served as the governor of Sichuan and Sichuan. The governor, the military aircraft and government affairs of the Governor Chuanshu Road, are all decided by Xu Qing alone, and there is no need to report to the court.

The ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

Sichuan and Shu is not a very important place, nor is it a very poor place, that is to say, neither a powerful official is needed to guard it, nor does it need a capable official to develop it.Xu Qing became the governor of Sichuan and Shu Road, and took charge of all military affairs and government affairs. What's going on?I don't understand, let's say Xu Qing is reused. You send Xu Qing to the north to defend against the Western Turks, and it won't be long before you send him to Luoyang, the eastern capital.It would be even more wrong to say that Xu Qing was demoted. Although Sichuan and Shu are a little farther away, the government affairs of the general regent are different.

It wasn't until later that people realized it.

It turned out that it was Tuyuhun who had been defeated before, but after a year passed, he became dishonest again.Moreover, upon hearing that the small countries in the Western Regions also began to stir.The spies came to report that there is a theory of the threat of the Tang Dynasty widely spread in the Western Regions, and everyone is very afraid of the rise of the Tang Dynasty.Headed by the Gaochang Kingdom, there are still shadows of Western Turks in it, and there are even Tubo forces wandering in it.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng asked Xu Qing to serve as the governor of the Sichuan-Shu Road. The reason is that Sichuan and Shu are close to Tuyuhun and Tubo, and there are barbarians in the south and Qiang in the north.Andy warriors guarding all directions, Li Jiancheng thought about it, and he had to let Xu Qing do this job of predicting the enemy first.

In the Land of Abundance, Xu Qing didn't dislike it, so he dragged his family along to the Sichuan-Shu Road.Fortunately, Xun Fang arrived at the Sichuan-Shu Road in advance, and Xu Qing could immediately learn about the entire Sichuan-Shu Road's network of interests from Xun Fang.But Xu Qing didn't immediately set out to tear up this net of interests.

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. Xu Qing just arrived in Chengdu for a few days, and only did two things. One was to pay homage to Wuhou Temple, and the other was to order road construction.Wanting to get rich first, Xu Qing built a road from Chang'an to Sichuan with his strong economic strength.

In the second year, Xu Qing only did one thing, and that was to introduce the last-place elimination system into the Sichuan-Shu political system.If you do a good job, the county magistrate will become Sima, the governor of the prefecture.Each quarter is assessed.

To be honest, reform is a battle of wits and courage against those with vested interests.At the beginning, no one believed you, even the common people thought you were a bad thing.Because ordinary people are also vested interests. Although they are exploited and are the recipients of the unfair distribution of benefits, they are even more afraid. They are afraid that Xu Qing's reform will make them lose everything in front of them. up.

If Xu Qing hadn't held a heavy army and had all the military and political power in his hands, the Sichuan and Shu Roads would have rebelled long ago.And just like that, some people even went to the capital to sue the imperial court.It's a pity that it's too far from here to Chang'an, every time he goes there, Xu Qing has already suppressed all those who hold opposing opinions.

In this way, when the autumn harvest season came, the common people would really know that everything Xu Qing did was for their benefit.However, no one came to apologize to Xu Qing at this time, but the land of Shu had already quietly praised Xu Qing.Sometimes it is said that the people are both wise and sometimes stupid, but they are fair and comfortable. When it comes to real benefits, the people will praise you.If you look at it together, it is the common people who are the most real.

In two years, the Sichuan-Shu area was governed, the official warehouses were full, the people were rich, there were no robbers in the big and small counties, there were no pick-ups on the roads and small roads, the mountain villages were open at night, and schools and private schools were opened all over the Sichuan-Shu area.

After the opening of the main road, things from other places were half cheaper, and the sales of Shu brocade also increased greatly.

At this time, Xu Qing was ready to do the third thing, which was to prepare for the coming of war.First of all, Xu Qing worked hard to sinicize some ethnic groups inside the Sichuan-Shu Road, making them feel inseparable from China. To those around them who were already falling apart, Xu Qing showed grace and power.In this way, Xu Qing expanded seven or eight states and counties outward. Of course, Xu Qing named these states and counties "autonomous".

This year, Xu Qi's identity was made public, and Xu Qing married her.Because at this time, the other four women were pregnant with Liujia almost at the same time.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Xiansheng, the Western Turks swept across the countries of the Western Regions and rushed to the Tang Dynasty, with a total of 50 horsemen.Li Jiancheng's imperial conquest came in person, and Li Chengdao became the prince and stayed in Chang'an.At this time, Tubo and Tuyuhun really took a fancy to the developed land of Sichuan and Shu.A hundred thousand troops were also entangled to attack, but it is a pity that the few tribes they thought were determined to pass on the call, but they were very resolute in resisting their aggression.Xu Qing was overjoyed, raised [-] troops, tens of thousands of brothers and ethnic groups, and called on all the people in Sichuan and Shu to provide assistance to the Sichuan army.

The double-throwing front was broken by the steadfast brothers and nations around Sichuan and Shu. Xu Qing led the troops to attack, but only three times, five times and two divisions, and then returned with a big victory.After the war, Xu Qing secretly released the news that the family is now strictly prohibited from hiding black households in their own homes, but the family is not prohibited from plundering Tuyuhun and Tubo people back to their homes as slaves.However, these slaves must also be registered, lest they turn good people into their own slaves.

And Li Jiancheng also defeated the Western Turks on the grassland.There are already 10 people in Li Jiancheng's army, equipped with the equipment necessary for Xu Qing's formation, and also proficient in the subtleties of that formation.As soon as the [-] troops drove out, hundreds of thousands of cavalry flew over, but unfortunately...

The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood!
A big defeat let the Turkic people know the power of the Tang Dynasty, so the countries in the Western Regions retreated one after another, and sent envoys to pray for forgiveness from the Tang Dynasty.Of course, Li Jiancheng couldn't forgive them, so he said to the little kings of the Western Regions: "When you become kings, how much money you earn a year, we will give you twice. However, you can no longer call yourself a king, but you have to call yourself a certain governor. The guardian of the government. Those countries that were too small were destroyed internally, and the king brought his family to live in Chang'an."

In the fifth year of Xiansheng, the Western Turks were defeated again, and moved westward, taking into account the harm to the common people in Europe.There were no strong enemies on the grassland for a while, and the Western Regions had returned to the land of the Tang Dynasty. The entire Central Plains dynasty was unprecedentedly strong.

Not long after, Tubo also sent envoys to say: "That, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there is a San in the south of us who always bullies us. We want to merge into the Tang Dynasty and receive the protection of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Jiancheng grabbed the Tubo envoy and said, "Okay, we are one family, Ah San counts that onion, don't worry, I told Xu Qing to fuck his mother."

"Thank you, Majesty Ron."

So Xu Qing sent troops to Asan, and returned with a big victory.

Cangzhou
Today's Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce has become the most influential thing in the eastern part of the Tang Empire.To the east of Luoyang, there is no sign of the aristocratic family, but to the west of Luoyang, the world is still dominated by the aristocratic family.Of course, the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce didn't know how much money it had paid to the imperial court. It was also thanks to the money from the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce that Li Jiancheng was able to train with such strength.Who does Li Jiancheng represent?It was the Longxi family, and the Longxi family got along very harmoniously with the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Li Jiancheng will naturally contribute a part of the capital to control the development of the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce, because he has too much influence. For an emperor, he would not leave such a big thing aside.

The current president of the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce is Xu Qing's brother-in-law, Huang Shimei's younger brother, Huang He, the vice-chairmen are also Xu Qing's brothers-in-law, Xun Yeyu and Xun Xiaoer, and the executive president is the horse who opened up many business routes. Ned.

On this day, five large ships arrived at Huanghua Port, and Zhao Lu, the governor of Cangzhou, personally led troops to meet them.Strange to say, Zhao Lu had several opportunities to be promoted, but she just didn't get promoted.

The previous few boats went out and brought back a lot of money. I heard that they have established a state and five counties in Dongying, and moved more than 5 people, as well as [-] soldiers and their families.This time, when I came back, I let the Dongying people mine the silver mine for a year, and there were five big ships.

The weight of silver is relatively large. Although the ship is not full, it has actually reached its limit.The five big ships arrived at the port with peace of mind. The money is comparable to the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce for a whole year.

This Dongying is worth going to!
