Zhenguan paper seller

Chapter 386 Chapter 380
The ninth year of Zhenguan, a long-lost year of peace, is also the second year since Su Xi left Chang'an City.

If it weren't for someone at home to take care of the business, Su Xi would have figured out how much her business has been eroded.

It’s also good to stay in the Western Regions with Anyang and a group of concubines. If you have something to do, you can deal with government affairs.

Then govern Gaochang well and improve the living standards of the people.

This kind of small life is still very good.

Of course, only Su Xi felt good. Everyone else felt that it was too peaceful, and compared with the life of the previous few years, it was too far behind.

In the past few years, the life was full of pride and joy, but now the life is flat, everyone is living peacefully, and no one disturbs anyone.

Civil servants who love peace like this, but generals feel powerless, and no one knows that they can fight for a few more years.

In order to gain some more military exploits for her younger generation, Qin Qiong has now returned to the battle and trained as a reserve soldier.

Most of the generals who stayed in Chang'an and other places began to train troops.

A lot of training, a lot of land reclamation.

This is what they achieved in peacetime.

Especially the [-] Shu army led by Li Xiaogong, they left Sichuan and Shu, took the same road that Zhuge Liang attacked Menghuo, and kept fighting outside, and all the barbarians along the way were taken out.

Li Xiaogong and the aristocratic families in Sichuan and Shu did not expect that there were so many savages here, and these savages lived hiding in the mountains and forests.

Originally, they all thought that capturing so many savages and destroying so many savage tribes would be powerful enough.

Unexpectedly, it became a situation of pulling out carrots and mud. They kept fighting outside, and there were always people there. You said one by one about those savage tribes, and the outside world was getting wider and wider.

Li Xiaogong's army now has a task, which is to open up wasteland in the jungle.

Occasionally they would burn mountains to open up wasteland.

Walking in the mountains and forests, Li Xiaogong, who just wiped out another barbarian tribe, arrested them and took away the valuables in the village, was cursing, with the lieutenant at his side.

"Damn it, there are so many savages in this mountain forest, how much land has been reclaimed to expand the wasteland bit by bit."

Lee Hyo-gong is going crazy.

Especially when the professional responsible for surveying geography told him that these places are good food producing areas for repairing and reclaiming wasteland. The only disadvantage is that they are in the deep mountains and need road construction.

Pointing at the fruits all over the mountains and plains, Li Xiaogong was very speechless.

"Pluck them all, take them back and eat."

What looking for plums to quench thirst is a joke here.

"This project probably won't be completed in decades. Let's do it bit by bit. The quality of the land here is so good that it would be a sin not to reclaim it."

Li Xiaogong was speechless, the territory he has now expanded has surpassed that of Zhuge Liang back then, the map is no longer easy to use, and it all depends on the barbarian's two poles to guide the way.

The family spokesperson and lieutenants around Li Xiaogong were even more speechless.

"Your Majesty, the people behind us are organizing savages to build roads and reclaim wasteland."

Li Yan, the spokesperson of the family, said speechlessly.

"People behind us speculate that if Zhuge Wuhou didn't rush to the Northern Expedition, sealed off Hanzhong, and focused on fighting outside, governing and expanding wasteland, he could have built a good country.

Although it is in the mountains, if it is governed wholeheartedly, taxes can be raised, and most importantly, enough power can be accumulated. "

Li Yan felt that it was right for his ancestors to give up the Northern Expedition because they were against Zhuge Wuhou and wanted to rule the middle of Shu.

Li Xiaogong also thinks it makes sense.

"What you said is correct. After I lead people to destroy the small country in front, we will start to govern."

Li Xiaogong knew that there was a small country with more than 100 million people in front of him, and it was those wild men who told him about it.

He doesn't want to know the name of the small country, because it will soon become history.

Facing such a small country, he only wanted to end the opponent, and then concentrate on governing the areas that had been laid down.

Just go to these areas, and Li Xiaogong will be famous forever in the future.

Li Yan cupped his hands, saying that there is no problem.

3 people destroyed a small country, and there was nothing wrong with Datang.

"By the way, I remember some savages said a while ago that western Sichuan and Hanzhong can also go to the plateau."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaogong had to say something nonsense.

The place on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau can actually go up here.

"Okay, but it's too difficult. You didn't notice that Tubo didn't come down from here, they all went to the Western Regions and Tuyuhun.

Basically no normal person can go up there.

Just think about the plateau special forces that General Zhang Gongjin organized in Tuyuhun. "

If you can't do it, you can't do it.

Some things are just embarrassing.

"Tsk, I'm still not happy, they are simply bullying people there.

The scope is too large, if they find a way, they will bully us to death.

Shuzhong is a granary. "

Li Xiaogong said unhappily.

"Don't be angry, the king of the county. We are also thinking of a way. Even if they don't come down, we have to find a way to go up, right?"

Li Yan is not a good person either.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is an area of ​​200 million square meters, which is also very important to them in the Tang Dynasty.

There are many things that can be done above.

If this is used well, it may be able to support several million people.

The most important thing is that they recently checked the history and found that the Tubo people are the descendants of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people can be regarded as a branch of China in history.

This is interesting, so isn't Tubo just waiting for their conquest and Sinicization?

The barbarians in the mountains and forests of central Shu are now the objects that everyone is preparing to educate.

Li Xiaogong showed a ferocious smile after investigating the situation in Xiaoguo.

Then he pulled over [-] fully armed elites, and there was a sudden burst of going up. The cannons that Li Er allocated to him were useless, and only some rockets were used to wipe out this small country.

For a small country with more than 100 million people, the [-] to [-] troops that it can pull out are not equipped with enough armor, which is a joke for a famous general like Li Xiaogong.

After the small country was wiped out in World War I, it began to organize on the spot and educate the people here.

The army took over, all the original nobles were killed, all the land of the nobles was distributed to the common people, new food seeds were distributed to the common people, and then they were all asked to build roads in the name of work.

A road leading to Shuzhong began to be built.

Li Xiaogong's goal is very simple, build roads, build roads non-stop, meet mountains and open mountains, and build bridges when encountering water.

All the explosives were equipped, and the road was repaired crazily.

Be sure to build a qualified road in the shortest possible time.

The cement factory was built on site while exploring the local geography.

There is no other big goal, just to build roads.

Ship all the wealth here back.

Li Xiaogong started working like crazy here, and the aristocratic family in Sichuan supported him with all his strength.

They have seen the future.

Outside Shuzhong, there are many small countries waiting for them to occupy.
