Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Yan is in a daze. After entering winter, Li Yan needs to plan less and less. At present, Tuyuhun has stored enough food, and most of the water in the Yellow River has been frozen, but there is enough food for this winter. .

What needs to be transported at the moment is just coal. Fortunately, Xizhou has a sufficient number of pack horses and camels. Although the horse carts cannot walk, there is no problem for these horses to carry hundreds of catties of coal and walk directly. The team can't use a few people.

Because almost most of Xizhou has been converted into settlements, so when winter came, the captains of each village learned how to make heated kangs. They made mud bricks from mud mixed with hay, and then rolled out heated kangs.

At present, the ironware in Xizhou is not enough for them to build enough stoves, and if the coal is not used well, it will kill people, so the heated kang made out of it is more suitable, not only coal, even if it is not transported to a place where coal is not transported, burn a handful of wood before going to bed , can also be warm for a night.

This winter, Xizhou will not freeze to death.

On the table in front of Li Yan was a sketch of a majestic man with a majestic face. Although it was just a portrait, the light of wisdom could still be seen shining in his deep eyes.

This is a portrait of His Highness. It is said that His Highness also taught the painters this painting method called sketching. Now the painters in Xizhou can basically master this painting method. It is different from traditional paintings. It can maximize the to restore a person's appearance.

Although it was black and white, Li Yan still seemed to be able to see His Highness's constant gaze.

She had a fever on her cheeks, the temperature should have cooled down yesterday, the boiler in the Xizhou Protectorate's Mansion burned even more, so the room became even hotter.

Li Yan felt that her thoughts were wrong. He was her third brother, even if she wasn't the real third brother, but she couldn't be with him without her father's consent, but sometimes people can't avoid their own idea.

Which girl is not pregnant?

Compared with His Highness's appearance, what really attracted her was His Highness's unparalleled thoughts in the world. The more she devoted herself to the overall planning work of Xizhou, the more Li Yan could feel the brilliance of His Highness's thoughts. It was only half a year. This can be said to be no different from other nomadic countries. Xizhou, which can be described as having nothing, has become extremely rich.

In the next year, after the end of the first five-year plan, when Xizhou begins to pay taxes officially, I am afraid that Xizhou's tax revenue will exceed that of all the state capitals of Datang.

The most important thing is that the people in Xizhou will become very rich. Before winter this year, many people in Xizhou have exchanged for ironware. By next year, I am afraid that all people will have some ironware in their homes. With ironware, the storage will be even greater. More food, etc., means that the families of these people will be richer.

Can you imagine that there are people who can't eat enough in every Daozhou in the Tang Dynasty, but everyone in Xizhou can have enough to eat?Under such circumstances, the power that Xizhou erupts is destined to attract everyone's attention.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the current Xizhou is turned into Tuyuhun, and His Royal Highness becomes the Khan of Tuyuhun, then when Datang comes to attack, Li Yan can guarantee that Datang will never be able to defeat him.

Even if the weapons and equipment are not as good as Datang, Datang will not be able to defeat them.

When the people of a country begin to swear to the death to protect their homeland, no one can resist that kind of power.

Footsteps could be heard outside Li Yan's office door, and she quietly sandwiched the portrait between two books, which was a summary of some of the words His Highness said that she asked for from Lu Hai.

Lu Hai named it "Quotations from Your Highness". Li Yan was reading it recently, and a lot of His Highness's words in it also broadened Li Yan's horizons. Maybe she can now understand why His Highness's Yuelai Firm All the members are so loyal and full of amazing energy.

Because their leader is like the radiant sun, shining on everyone.

"Secretary Li." A guard came in.

"what happened?"

"It was General Li who came to ask, is there any new business to be done in Xizhou recently?" The guard asked, "If not, General Li decided to go to Tanggula Pass and other two newly built military camps to check."

"Yes. Let him go after the new year. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is a new mission. Our Xizhou officials will go to the countryside to visit the mission." Li Yan said.

"No, I'll report now." The guard turned and left immediately.

Although Li Yan does not have any position, Li Yan has already won the respect of people like Xizhou with her strength.

Not long after, Li Daozong rushed over, "Yan'er, what do you mean by visiting the countryside?" Li Daozong was a little confused.

"Actually, it's the same as your father inspecting those military camps. It's just that our high-level officials from Xizhou went deep into the herdsmen's homes in Xizhou to condolences to some difficult families. It's the New Year and sent them some food. Something like that." Li Yan smiled and said, this is not a task left by Li Ke, but Li Yan found it from "Quotations from Your Highness" and improved it by herself.

She felt that such behavior was in line with His Highness's behavior, so she arranged it.

"This? Whose house are you going to?" Li Daozong was a little confused, he couldn't understand this at all.

From Li Daozong's point of view, His Highness is good enough to these ordinary people, but he went to their homes to condolences when it was almost Chinese New Year?They are not big families, have they contributed to Xizhou?No, on the contrary, they have been relying on His Highness for a living.

"This year, because of construction tasks, transportation tasks, etc., a total of 7 people gave their lives for Xizhou. First, we will go to the homes of these [-] people, and then some needy households selected by the village chiefs. The young and middle-aged people were lost, only the elderly and children were left." Li Yan didn't even need to read her workbook, these things were all in her mind.

"This... I can understand the previous one. What's so good about old people and children? Aren't old people just a burden." Li Daozong said, anyway, this is him and his daughter here. Of course not.

"Aye, you will grow old one day." Li Yan said helplessly.

Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, but Li Daozong understood the meaning of Li Yan's words. Everyone will grow old one day. Of course, Li Daozong doesn't have to worry about his problems when he gets old, but these ordinary people are different.

"I see, when will we leave?" Li Daozong asked.

"Now there is only one month left before Chinese New Year, let's go tomorrow." Li Yan thought for a while.

"Are you going too?" Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, "It's windy and snowy outside, and the wind is icy cold. If you go... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"Your Highness entrusted me with most of the affairs of Xizhou. I must go to the grassroots level to find out the problem." Li Yan said seriously.

Li Daozong: "..."

"You speak strangely now, and you are more and more like His Highness, then you can arrange it." Li Daozong glanced at Li Yan, then nodded and agreed.
