Li Xiang could also see that Zhang Jiuli was already indifferent to fame and fortune. If someone else said this, Li Xiang would think that the other party was retreating in order to advance, and it was impossible for him to really want nothing. From Zhang Jiuli, Li Xiang knew that this guy had actually sublimated.

In the past few years, those who followed Li Xiang all over the world have made a lot of contributions in various places, especially the system of counties and counties in the Western Regions. On the surface, Xiao Shougui was responsible for it, but Zhang Jiuli also made at least 40% of the profits. So if there is a reward based on merit, one of the two guardians must have him.

But since he doesn't want to be an official anymore, and Li Xiang also hopes to have a think tank by his side, then let him do whatever he wants. What's more, by staying with Li Xiang, he can also give his children a future in the future. Just don’t want anything. If you live like this, isn’t everything for your own children?

After inspecting the trading market here, Li Xiang began to plan the transportation map. Although a major road has been built, if you want to bring the Western Region closer to the mainland, there must be another road. Of course, it must be separated from the original road. This is what many businessmen in the north have been calling for for a long time.

Zhang Jiuli had already made plans for this road and was waiting for Li Xiang to go on an on-site inspection. If this road was to be built, at least 19,000 prisoners of war would have to be used, and it would have to be built within two years. After all, two years later, if half of these nineteen thousand prisoners of war can survive, this will be considered an eye-opener for God.

Both sides of the road are either desert or Gobi Desert. In today's era, there are no large-scale machinery at all. If you want to repair this road, you can only rely on manpower. Of course, these people are very He may lose his life, but Li Xiang doesn't care about this. There will be a large number of prisoners of war in every war. If they don't build these infrastructures, will they be raised in vain every day? Such people are worthless in our country of Datang.

"Then don't wait. Since you have written the plan in such detail, you should have already found someone to take charge of the matter. Let this person start construction as soon as possible. I will only give him two and a half years. In terms of labor, Double the size and give him 35,000 people.”

Zhang Jiuli's plan was very detailed, but Li Xiang thought it was conservative, especially without any machinery. It would be impossible for 19,000 people to build it successfully, and the total length would exceed 3,000 miles. It would have to be We need to increase our manpower. According to Li Xiang's estimation, even if we give these 35,000 people, it may not be enough, and we will have to continue to increase the number.

Of course, if you don't say this clearly now, you can't dampen the enthusiasm of the people below. People's original plans are one thing. If you approve someone else's plan and it's not worth a cent, then when someone implements it, their psychology will be different. If there are various obstacles, let them work for a while first. After finishing the work, you will know how many loopholes your plan has.

Zhang Jiuli originally wanted to refute Li Xiang's words, but in the end he swallowed his own words. This ghost place in the Western Region is completely different from the mainland. If you don't flip properly, you may fall down here. place.

His Highness has presided over all the roads in the border areas and should know more about this situation than himself, so His Highness said to use as many people as possible. Anyway, the number of prisoners of war is large. Even if there are no prisoners of war from the Arab Empire, just these local ones The labor force is also running out.

When leaving Gaochang, Li Xiang also held a small military parade here. About 14,000 Gaochang soldiers participated in the military parade. They were dressed in the military uniforms of Datang soldiers. They were almost the same as Datang soldiers. After participating in this military parade, these 14,000 Gaochang soldiers will be dispersed.

According to the number of one thousand people in each team, they are divided into the Datang military camp. From the moment they enter the Datang military camp, there will be no Gaochang army. From now on, they will be the Datang army, and they will be scattered throughout the Datang army. Among various primary institutions in Tang Dynasty.

This is what Xiao Shougui did before. If the Gaochang army were taken out alone, I am afraid that the generals on the battlefield would not believe them. Now they are scattered among the Tang army. Even if someone has second thoughts, our side will not Can easily suppress them.

Soldiers from other tribes in the Western Regions were very envious of Gaochang soldiers, because when these Gaochang soldiers entered the Tang army, they could earn 90% of the salary of Datang soldiers, let alone support their own families. Let your family live a good life.

But as for the troops from other tribes in the Western Regions, they can only get 50% of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They have to perform well. If they make any mistakes, especially those related to resisting the Tang Dynasty. Wrong, you people can't expect to get money. You still have to go through the strictest internal review. If you fail the review, your whole family will suffer.

Li Xiang is not willing to implement such a strong policy in the Western Regions, but this is all forced by them. These people have surrendered to you on the surface. I am afraid only they themselves know what they are doing secretly.

So instead of waiting for them to take action, we have to strike first and let these people know how powerful we are. If these people don't know, we have to find a way to let them know in the future. The Tang Dynasty will be the eternal ruler here.

When the Gaochang soldiers knew that today's military parade was held by His Highness the Emperor Taisun, they all straightened their backs. They had been training for so long just to wait for this day when His Highness the Emperor Taisun would conquer the world and serve the cause of the Tang Dynasty. More than half of the territory increased, including Gaochang, was conquered by His Highness the Emperor Taisun.

Following such a commander, they don't know where they can go in the future. Many people also want to see, according to what Li Xiang said, what will the end of the world look like? If it weren't for Li Xiang, they wouldn't even know there was a word "world".

Seeing the troops passing by neatly in front of him, Li Xiang also smiled and nodded. The combat effectiveness and queue of the Gaochang soldiers were basically the same as those of the Tang army. They were given 90% of their salary. The money was really not wasted. , will definitely be the most ruthless minion on the battlefield in the future. (End of chapter)
