The bearded man smiled and said, "Don't worry about Shihan, I guarantee they are all good stuff!"

While Yu Guni and the bearded man were whispering, a man wearing a felt hat heard every word Yu Guni and the bearded man said.

This man wearing a felt hat is actually Yu Guni's personal guard, of course, unless it is his confidant, he cannot get within ten steps of him at all.However, the man in the felt hat has another identity, he is the offspring of Tiger Yi Cong.

Because Hou Mo and Chen Chong are from Xianbei, there are not only Han people in Tiger Yicong, but also a considerable number of Hu people from various ethnic groups.This personal guard wearing a felt hat is one of the hidden threads of Tiger Yi Cong.Although Tiger Yi has been handing out some insignificant money and food for a long time, he has not been asked to do anything.

Not long ago, Chen Jinyong received Chen Ying's order, and he was ordered to command more than [-] tiger followers, including Lan Wujili.Lan Ujili's ancestors were not Turks, but one of the big households under Zuoxian's subordinates of the Huns.Take Lan or Helan as the surname.

In this way, Lan Wujili looked at the token of the golden tiger token that Chen Jinyong took out, and began to obey Chen Jinyong's order, and was ordered to monitor Yu Guni.While Yu Guni was chatting with the bearded man about unnutritive dirty words, Lan Ujili ran out with the excuse of shitting.Tiger Yi Cong is Hou Mo Chen Chong's personal guard, not a qualified spy or spy.

"Bang!" Chen Jinyong punched a pine tree, a large piece of bark fell off the tree trunk, and the needles and leaves of the pine tree fell down.Chen Jinyong said angrily: "He really said that?"

Lan Ujili nodded heavily.

Chen Jinyong thought for a while and said: "You continue to monitor Yu Guni, there is no need to come out to see me, if he dares to harm Madam, he will be killed on the spot!"

Lan Ujili shook his head and said, "I don't dare!"

Chen Jinyong said: "Don't dare, you have to remember, you are a fierce tiger!"

……

More than 100 tribal leaders, big and small, gathered in front of Li Daozhen. Li Daozhen looked at the leaders and said with a faint smile, "I called you here today to discuss one thing, open up wasteland and plant land!"

Hearing this, all the leaders shouted.

"Master, let us raise horses and sheep, we can raise pigs, but we don't know how to farm!" A tribal leader said with a sad face.

The leader's words immediately received unanimous approval from all the leaders.

"No, you can learn it. How you learn it is your business!" Li Daozhen said: "From now on, the coal, coal stoves, salt, and silk produced in Lingzhou will not be traded with sheep, horses or gold and silver. , the county lord only collects grain, if you think that you don't need salt, tea, iron, silk, or farming."

Li Daozhen's move was so unique that it was impossible to fight back.After all, it is easy to go from shallow to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to shallow.

Fortunately, these nomads are not short of fuel. They can chop firewood or dry weeds to use as fuel. The key is the cold winter season, thousands of miles of ice, even if they want to chop firewood, there is nowhere to cut it. Can use horse manure to burn.But horse manure not only smells bad, but also burns less heat.

If the trading of coal and coal stoves is not open in winter, they can't even imagine how they should survive the cold winter.

But apart from Li Daozhen, they have no choice, they have no way to obtain the supplies they need, silk is good to say, these things are dispensable, they are just luxury goods, but tea is not indispensable, because there is no food rich in vitamins in winter If they ingest it, they are very prone to gastrointestinal diseases. Although this kind of disease is not fatal, it can be fatal once it hurts.In particular, these two materials, salt and iron, belong to the necessities of their life.

The tribal leaders who had returned from Zhongling State immediately started to take action. They either used sheep or horses to trade with merchants from other places to buy grain, and then exchanged the grain with Li Daozhen for supplies.

There are also some who personally organize land reclamation and planting food.But more of them are frowning, trying to drop food from the sky.

"Madam is wise!" Chen Jinyong smiled and said, "This is how to solve such a difficult problem!"

Li Daozhen said: "This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Even though they can be forced to use other methods to obtain food, once Lingzhou loses its price advantage, they can turn to Hedong to obtain supplies."

Chen Jinyong thought about it and felt that what Li Daozhen said was very reasonable. Hedong was the sphere of influence of the Wang family in Taiyuan. They controlled the large and small customs exits in Hedong, and smuggling was very rampant.Li Daozhen only sold iron pots, daily utensils and supplies, but the Taiyuan Wang family dared to sell standard armor and crossbows.

Li Daozhen said: "So, we have to rely on ourselves. Don't we still have more than 3 slaves? Use all these slaves and let them reclaim wasteland. Each person reclaims 60 acres of wasteland, which is 80 acres. Even if the first The annual soil fertility is insufficient, and the harvest is limited, so we can harvest seven to eight million shi of grain."

The slaves in Lingzhou belonged to labor slaves, shepherd slaves, serfs, army slaves, mining slaves, etc. according to their occupations. Among them, the mining slaves received the worst treatment and the highest intensity of physical labor.The second is military slaves, who do logistics work with the army. Although the labor intensity is not high, the risk factor is higher than that of miner slaves.However, military slaves can make meritorious service and are easy to leave their nationality. Worker slaves help in various workshops and help craftsmen. Man slaves are grooms and herdsmen who have no personal rights.

"Those people are very lazy." Chen Jinyong complained: "It takes a lot of work to keep them from running away after kicking them. It would be great if they could be as energetic as we are." gone."

"That's not easy!" Li Daozhen said with a smile: "Tell all the slaves that as long as they complete the task of reclaiming [-] acres of land, the miners will be liberated on the spot and become shepherd slaves or military slaves. In the next year, if they continue to perform well, Immediately quit the nationality, become a white nationality, and enjoy the treatment of the Tang people, if you do not do well, you will all be punished as miners."

As Li Daozhen's order spread to various places, all the slaves were shocked when they heard about it.Most of these slaves were herdsmen and soldiers. To them, being a herdsman is their old job, and relatively speaking, it is the easiest way. The most pleasing species of intrepid slaves.

Of course, the biggest temptation is to have a Bai nationality and enjoy the treatment of Tang people.Tang people did not have slaves, and at last they were commoners, who could rent out fields or flocks.At worst, you can also work in a workshop, which is a great temptation. Besides, if you fail to finish your job and are demoted to be a miner, it will be like going to hell.

When Pei Ju received Li Daozhen's order, he couldn't help sighing: "If Li Daozhen is a man, how good it is, Datang will be more sincere.

……

"Interesting, really interesting!" Looking at the secret report sent by Chen Jinyong, Chen Ying immediately exuded a strong murderous aura.Originally, Chen Ying didn't know everything that happened in Lingzhou so quickly, but since he took over Hou Mochen's tiger righteous servant, Chen Ying has a complete intelligence system.

Tiger Yicong not only has more than [-] people, but after receiving funding from Chen Ying, he has also improved the communication channels.Taking carrier pigeons to deliver the message.

In fact, carrier pigeons will definitely not be like those shown in film and television dramas. When one carrier pigeon is released, the other party can receive the message immediately.In fact, carrier pigeons deliver messages because they are too small and have a very weak load-bearing capacity, usually only a dozen grams, so there is no way for long-distance messages to be delivered by carrier pigeons.In addition to the small amount of information transmitted, there are also other problems, such as encountering natural enemies in the air, such as eagles and eagles.Once encountering natural enemies, homing pigeons will die tragically in nine out of ten cases.

In order to convey the message, Chen Ying asked Tiger Tiger to establish six secret bases from Lingzhou to Chang'an.Every time a message is transmitted, a group of at least ten pigeons will be released at the same time. In this way, nearly half of the pigeons will be lost or accidentally died every time the message is transmitted.However, despite the high cost, the same speed has improved a lot.It was only a day and a half after what happened in Lingzhou was conveyed by pigeons at six stations, and it arrived in Chen Ying's hands.

A monstrous hatred surged in Chen Ying's heart.He is very kind to Yu Guni, if not for his existence, Yu Guni might have turned into a pile of loess already.With the support of Chen Ying, Yu Guni and Yu She set up a rapid development and growth.However, Yu Guni dared to spy on Li Daozhen, wanting to be the cheap father of her unborn child?

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, the uncle can bear it, and the aunt can also bear it! ! !

Shan Xiongxin sensed the killing intent on Chen Ying, and hurried over and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Chen Ying secretly thought that Shan Xiongxin was not aware of his entanglement with Li Daozhen, so he used very brief words to tell him about his acquaintance with Li Daozhen and Yu Guni, and that Yu Guni had bad intentions for Li Daozhen.

"My lord means..." Shan Xiongxin cautiously looked at Chen Yingdao who was furious.

"I hate people betraying me!" Chen Ying said angrily, "Lingzhou, I'm afraid Chen Jinyong can't control the situation alone, I want you to go to Lingzhou now!"

"Now? I'm afraid it's not good!" Shan Xiongxin hesitated for a while and said: "Now that Dou Jiande's army is close at hand, the Lord is currently employing people, Xiongxin is really worried about the Lord!"

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart!" Chen Ying said: "The thing I am most worried about now is Lingzhou!"

"Lingzhou?" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "The Doctrine of the Mean says that there are nine scriptures for every country in the world, one of which says: People from far away are soft. Since they are gentle and far away, Siyi are naturally grateful for Huaide and call me the Holy Son of Heaven. In power; but, do you believe this?"

Shan Xiongxin is the most knowledgeable person in Wagang Village besides Li Mi, Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji.He has read "The Doctrine of the Mean" and understands its meaning.He shook his head and said: "Zhuhu are afraid of prestige but not virtue, Xiong believes it or not."

"Of course!" Chen Ying nodded and said: "Go to Lingzhou, first show Yu Guni a threat, if he can turn his back on the wrong way, I will give him a chance to reform, if he persists, then You don't need to be polite."

Shan Xiongxin nodded as if he understood, hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Chen Jinyong's secret letter alone may not be enough to convict Yu Guni, right? Did Xiongxin go to Lingzhou to search secretly? Evidence of his treason?"

"No need!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I'm not a judge, and I don't need him to be convinced. I just need him to submit. If he doesn't want to submit, then there's no need to stay."

"Inappropriate." Shan Xiong said: "Yu Guni was not rude. The so-called malicious intentions are just our speculations and have not been confirmed. We suddenly raided them. The name is not justified. In the future, they will It is quite detrimental to us to preach the Lord's treachery. Besides, if he really intends to betray the Lord, he must take strict precautions, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get it right."

Chen Ying asked: "What should I do according to your suggestion?"

Shan Xiong said: "My lord, please write a letter to Yu Guni, saying that you need his support now, and let him lead three thousand cavalry into the pass. To send out his generals or to shirk, that is to rebel, of course you are welcome."

Chen Ying nodded and said: "That's fine, this general doesn't have the right to deploy troops yet, so let's talk to His Royal Highness first, and ask him to help with customs clearance documents."

Just when Chen Ying was about to write a letter to Li Jiancheng, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his head.Chuluo Khan Ashina Tulifushe should be dying soon, and he vaguely remembered that the Jieli Khan Ashina Dubi who had forced Li Shimin to form an alliance under the city should also be in power.

Although Chen Ying is not an expert in history, he does not remember when Ashina Thalifush died or how he died, but one thing is known. He was relatively restrained towards the Tang Dynasty, and no war broke out. His political ideas were mainly to support the puppet regime. .

However, as Ashina Duobi ascended to the throne of Khan, he immediately invaded Yanmen, and successfully captured Tang Dynasty Hanyang Gong Su Gui, Taichangqing Zheng Yuanxuan, and Zuo Xiaowei General Sun Shunde. On the eve of the change, Li Jiancheng was restrained in the north and ordered to stop the Turkic army. Even Princess Pingyang died in battle during this period.
