After being notified again by the villagers of Zhaojiacun, Li Dejiao finally entered Zhaojiacun with his pregnant daughter-in-law Zhang Ping and met Yue'er.
Seeing that Yue'er is worth the trip, he can happily have a meal with her and play for a few days.
As the new year is approaching in Zhaojia Village, such a county magistrate has come, and he must be well entertained. But he cannot let the county magistrate say any inappropriate words, so that their words can determine Zhao The princess who walked towards the village was embarrassed.
While Zhaojiacun was preparing supplies here to celebrate the award from County Magistrate Li De who came from afar, the two figures who entered Yancheng were busy selecting suitable items and purchasing what they thought Something needed.
It's also a shame that they don't receive official salaries like Xu Yunyan. After receiving salaries in the army, for them officials and generals who have no place to spend, all the money they have saved can be bought for Yue'er. Lots of good stuff.
Xue Li and Wang Ergou are doing shopping here, and Zhaojiacun is bustling here, which does not affect the work in other places.
In Chang'an City, there is a new round of potato planting and harvesting. After this round of potatoes mature, it is finally possible to promote potato planting in the counties surrounding Chang'an.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at these potatoes newly dug out of the soil.
"This is the guarantee that we will have long-term peace and stability in the Tang Dynasty and be praised for our virtues."
Wei Zheng ran forward and backward next to Li Chengqian, looking at the potatoes dug out of the soil, and kept sighing here.
"Your Highness, look at these potatoes. The scale and output of these potatoes are truly auspicious. They are more substantial than lucky fish!"
Lucky fish also required the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to go out and gallop on the sea and risk their lives to catch them. After having the auspicious potatoes, although Li Shimin did not explicitly issue a decree on how many fish the Tang Dynasty navy must turn in every month, But he also had the idea to stop catching lucky fish to reduce the casualties of his Datang Navy.
Every time a lucky fish is caught and landed, there are always a few sergeants who are either injured or disabled due to the huge impact of catching a lucky fish, or fall into the water and their whereabouts are unknown.
This has been the case for a long time. Although the Tang Navy has been trained to be brave and good at fighting, they are no longer afraid of Fuyu, but think of revenge when they see Fuyu. However, for Li Tang, they do not want to bear the unnecessary casualties of such soldiers.
It’s enough to make canned food with ordinary sea fish. You don’t have to use the meat of lucky fish, right?
After Wei Zheng was busy directing many soldiers led by the prince's guards to dig out all the auspicious potatoes that had been planted, he spoke to Li Chengqian beside Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, all the fine seeds have been dug out, and a greenhouse has been left behind to be used as seeds for planting in case of emergencies.
It would be appropriate to leave half of the remaining seeds as reserve seeds until a new round of potatoes is planted. The rest can be planted on a large scale on the farm.
At the same time, part of it was given to some Zhe Chongfu soldiers around Chang'an for planting. I believe they would not refuse. "
Yes, although Chang'an City is protected by the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty, the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty are only dissatisfied with their strength, and they still need to mobilize soldiers from all over the world to complete the defense.
There must be government soldiers near Chang'an City, and there are quite a lot of government soldiers.
When Li Chengqian heard what Wei Zheng said, he immediately bowed as a disciple.
"Master Wei has arranged everything."
Li Chengqian spent a new year more calmly, which made Wei Zheng very happy, but just after Li Chengqian sent Wei Zheng away, he was holding a potato several times larger than his fist and looking at the north.
"Master, I don't know how you are doing now. Have you received the New Year's gifts I sent you?"
Xu Yunyan, who was in the temporary military camp of the Anbei Protectorate, was exercising after getting up early when several soldiers ran over.
"Captain."
As soon as he heard this title, he knew that he was Xu Yunyan's former soldier. After they called him the governor, Xu Yunyan stopped practicing his martial arts and turned to look at them, waiting for them to tell him what happened.
"Sir, please come back and report from the front. Generals Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong discovered the Turkic tribes respectively. After rescuing them, they have moved towards our Anbei Army camp. Please ask the general to arrange manpower to properly resettle them."
Xu Yunyan smiled, very happy about this.
"I didn't expect that the two of them would have discovered several Turkic tribes in less than half a month after they went out? Yes, they will all be placed near the Anbei military camp."
There are now nearly 20,000 Turks living near the Anbei Military Camp. Although there are still many young Turks among them, Xu Yunyan did not let them arm themselves again, nor did he make it difficult for them. He just let them stay here. There are cattle, sheep and horses grazing in this grassland.
As for the old, weak, women and children? Xu Yunyan did not follow the example of the Turks and let them fend for themselves when food and supplies were scarce. Instead, he allowed them to enjoy their old age comfortably in the camp and learn to read and write.
About reading? This is about the fact that Li Shimin arranged for several officials from aristocratic families to come to the north. After the knowledgeable people in the world heard the news, some serious sages could not help but want to do something for Li Tang. He made a contribution and immediately set off to the Northland.
At first, Xu Yunyan felt that there was no way to teach these children, but his heart suddenly became active. With famous teachers and scholars coming to the north to teach Turkic children knowledge, there would be no more Turks in the future.
As I was doing my homework and watching Zhihu Zheye teaching a group of children in a simple tent, and listening to their reading aloud, I couldn't help but feel that I was doing the right thing.
When there are no more Turks and the whole world is full of Han family members, then the entire planet will be filled with the flags of the Tang Dynasty, and the language of the Tang people will be the only language in the world.
After thinking clearly about the series of changes he had made that might be related to what kind of scenery it would bring to Datang, Xu Yunyan smiled complacently and looked at the old pawn beside him who had not left yet.
"Go inform Chief Shi Fengtao and ask him to properly arrange these manpower. All the materials that should be allocated have been allocated. However, we still need to secretly arrange some people to keep an eye on them. Don't let anything happen again. Although there has been nothing that we don't want to discover. ."
When Xu Yunyan gave this instruction, the Tang sergeant hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, General, this is not the first time we have done something like this."
The old soldier said and walked outside. Looking at the old soldier walking away, Xu Yunyan came to the table next to him and sat down to rest. He looked at the Turkic tribe that could be seen at the end of his sight. No, it should be said now. They were all tribesmen from the Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Seeing how they were able to support themselves when they were old and live and work in peace and contentment when they were young, Xu Yunyan felt that what he did was appropriate.
Even if because of what Xu Yunyan did, more Turks are now homeless or living in the wilderness, but so what?
Xu Yunyan is making amends now. If you hadn't done what the Turks did to you before, your life now wouldn't be so miserable.
However, after the lives of the Turkic tribes next to the Anbei Army camp gradually stabilized, Xu Yunyan fell into deep thought as he looked at the more than 2,000 places he still lacked.
Yes, he brought 1,000 people, and the court allocated another 5,000, and recruited 2,000 from surrounding areas, and there were still 2,000 left.
There are now 4,000 people in the military camp. Xu Yunyan can't help but think about recruiting 2,000 people to be assigned to the four sacred beast legions, and the people he can think of recruiting are Turks.
"Isn't this a ready source of troops now? And this Turk doesn't have the guts to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty."
Xu Yunyan was here tapping the table and touching his chin in deep thought.
"Just what kind of criteria should be used to recruit? Can you speak Chinese and write Chinese characters? Can you understand general concepts? Or can you memorize the Three Books and Five Classics?"
While Xu Yunyan was thinking here, Shi Jin suddenly came to his side.
"Protector."
This suddenly frightened Xu Yunyan, who had just rested after practicing martial arts here, and jumped up from the table.
Install the latest version. 】
"Deputy Governor? I wonder what the Deputy Governor is here for?"
Xu Yunyan was startled by Shi Jin, and Shi Jin was a little surprised.
"Why are you so scared, Protector? I'm here to tell you that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for some supplies to be sent to you. What do you think you should do with them?"
"The supplies sent by His Royal Highness?"
Xu Yunyan jumped up from the table in a hurry.
Shi Jin was scared and jumped onto the table just now. After jumping down, he followed Shi Jin and walked outside.
He wanted to see what items the prince had sent. As for why Xu Yunyan was afraid of Shi Jin, he had to start with a small incident a few days ago.
For the first time, Li Yunlong and Li Yunfei discovered a Turkic tribe. The Turkic tribe was still struggling to survive there and was slaughtering the last cattle and sheep. After cooking them to fill their stomachs, the leader of the small Turkic tribe had just eaten a full meal. After eating, he raised his head and prepared to lead his tribe to the south to the border of Tang Dynasty to see if they could get a chance of survival. He was shocked when he saw the magnificent Tang army approaching in the distance.
"Do the Tang people want to kill them all? Didn't they say that our Turkic Khan has been captured by them? They are all hospitable, why would they raise the butcher knife when we are so sad, leaving us no chance of survival? hope?"
The leader of the small tribe knelt on the ground and raised his hands, questioning the sky.
"God of Changsheng, have you really abandoned us, the Great Turks?
Do we really have no chance to get a field to survive? "
Just as he was crying like this, the people in his tribe were also crying and wailing here, and when the Tang Army soldiers came over, they saw them kneeling on the ground one by one, kneeling in front of them and raising their hands, as if praying for rescue. The same Turkic tribe couldn't help but be surprised.
Li Yunlong looked at Li Kun and Zhai Peng beside him and asked, "Why did this Turk become like this? Are they asking for our forgiveness?"
However, although what Li Yunlong said was very light, the deputy general Li Kun next to him looked at it and said it.
"Are you preparing to surrender to us?"
Li Kun's words are very reasonable. Who told this small tribe leader to kneel there as if surrendering?
Look at this action, look at this expression, look at this posture, which one is not an admission of mistake?
But Zhai Peng just likes to pour cold water on him.
"I saw there was no food left in their camp."
"What? There's nothing to eat. Is this like us surrendering and asking for something to eat?"
Zhai Peng nodded, "Yes! Do they have any extra cattle and sheep? Where can they find food?"
Li Yunlong waved his hand when he heard this, and Zhai Peng understood. He hurriedly rushed forward with his soldiers.
In the frightened eyes of these Turks, he took off one of the many small packages filled with food next to the horses and threw it to them.
"This is my gift from the Tang Dynasty, accept it."
