I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Although Qinghai Province has not yet officially opened to the public, it has already begun to become lively.

Most of the shops and warehouses in the outer city have been rented out, not only by people from the Tang Dynasty, but also by some northern ethnic groups.

The merchants in the Western Regions and the Tubo caravans.

Because Li Shen hasn't come yet, although they rented it, they haven't opened it yet.

Since ancient times, exchanges with foreigners have been based on barter and exchange of needed goods. There is no Qinghai fortress that is like a market and has shops.

They just circle a piece of land and set up stalls.

Many foreign caravans who came here couldn't help but lament the power of the Tang Dynasty. Even to establish a mutual market, they still had to build such a large city.

Sure enough, when a big country takes action, it is a big deal.

When Li Shen's team arrived in front of the fortress, the officials here and the sergeants from the Protectorate Palace greeted Li Shen at the city gate.

This also includes the stewards and clerks sent here by Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Welcome to His Highness Prince Ji." Everyone saluted together.

"Well, everyone has come here to meet the King of Wei and the King of Jin." Li Shen said loudly while sitting on his horse.

After Li Shen finished speaking, Li Tai and Li Zhi also rode horses to Li Shen's side in cooperation.

"See the King of Wei and the King of Jin." Everyone saluted again.

This is not because Li Shen wants to ease the relationship, this is what he must do as a noble, and he must always maintain the status and dignity of the royal family.

Li Tai and Li Zhi are both princes, just like themselves. Isn't it the same as neglecting themselves?

Just like the emperors of past dynasties will respect the emperor of the previous dynasty, although they can be killed, they cannot be insulted. This is to maintain the imperial power.

This is what Li Shen often refers to as a vested interest group.

"You all perform your duties. If there are any problems later, I will tell you. The soldiers of the Protectorate will stay, and the others will disperse."

Li Shen showed kindness but dignity.

Li Shen took Li Tai and Li Zhi up the city wall. He originally wanted to speak in the Wengcheng, but then he thought that the 50,000 troops might be a bit crowded in the Wengcheng.

So they were asked to stand outside the city, and Li Shen climbed onto the wall of Wengcheng.

"Soldiers!!"

Looking at the crowd of sergeants below, Li Shen felt very excited.

"This Grand Protector is back again!!! I don't know if your training has fallen behind, but I am very pleased to see that you are so cautious now.

This will be our home in the future, this is our territory of Datang, we need to do a lot,

It's definitely not possible to rely on me alone. We will still have to rely on you to protect this place in the future.

I hope that you, like me, will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to His Majesty, and drive away the barbarians. "

"Be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, be loyal to Your Majesty, and be satisfied."

"Be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, be loyal to Your Majesty, and be satisfied."

"Be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, be loyal to Your Majesty, and be satisfied."

Li Shen nodded barbarically and ordered the captains to bring them back.

"Inform the generals above the school captain to come to the Protectorate in the evening to discuss matters."

This time the deputy general was personally arranged by Li Shimin, and he was from the clan.

Li Shimin knew that Li Shen was lazy, so he specially found someone trusted by the clan to help Li Shen manage the army.

Li Shen took Li Tai and Li Zhi down the city wall to the Protectorate of the Inner City.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were both shocked just now. They had never led troops or fought in a war, so they had never experienced such a spectacular scene.

They saw that Li Shen's calm expression didn't look like he was faking at all.

The chilling aura these people carried made them both suffocated, but Li Shen had no memory of them at all.

Li Shen ignored the little flowers in the two greenhouses and went directly to the Protectorate's Mansion, where officials from the Protectorate's Mansion had already gathered and were waiting.

"See the Great Protector, King of Wei and King of Jin." Everyone saluted.

These were all people sent by the imperial court, and Li Shen didn't know who was one of his own, who was an outsider, or whether they were all outsiders.

Therefore, Li Shen did not get close to them and said simply and clearly:

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Since the imperial court has sent you here, let me prove your abilities.

The imperial court attaches great importance to this mutual trade, and I hope you will not take it lightly. Tomato novels are free to read.

Everything must be done according to the rules. I don't want anyone to break the rules.

You may not know the rules yet, but this Great Protector will tell you.

In this important city of Qinghai, the rules I set are the rules, and what I say is the rules.

If anyone violates this, don't blame me for being rude. Death in a foreign country is not a good destination.

Don't talk to me about the law. There is no law here, only this great protector.

I don’t want you to be reincarnated either.

You only need to be responsible for your own government affairs, and don't worry about anything else. "

Li Shen said it very seriously. Among them were people from aristocratic families, noble families, and poor families.

They were all elected through the three provinces.

“Datu Hu, we are here to follow the orders of the imperial court and are responsible for assisting the Du Du in safeguarding the fortress.

Many things have to be done in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court, and I hope the governor will understand. "

Suddenly a person stood up, bowed and said.

"You are right, everyone is doing it according to the requirements of the imperial court, and I came here only after His Majesty personally issued the order.

But you may not know that this city was built by the king at a cost of tens of millions of dollars, without any contribution from the imperial court.

Unless you can get the court to return the money to me, I will offer it to the city immediately with both hands.

Otherwise, you have to do what I want. I have the final say here.

This is your first time asking a question. I can forgive you. Next time someone questions me, don’t blame me for being rude.

I will tell you now,

No one is allowed to interfere in the first military affairs. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.

There is no need for you to intervene in the mutual urban areas of the Second Outer City. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.

Those who have the right to live in the inner city must be Tang people, and no barbarians are allowed. Anyone who enriches his own pockets and opens the door for them will be executed, and his wife and children will be sent to the frontier.

There are aristocratic families and Shandong gentry among you, and I know that some of you may have other purposes.

However, I would like to advise you, is it worth it to lose your life and the lives of your family for the sake of your family?

Will your family be able to protect you by then?

You can doubt my rights, but do not doubt my strength.

There are so many barbarians here, and it is inevitable to encounter bandits. Do you remember that? "

Li Shen's face was gloomy and his tone was sinister. There was no attempt to conceal his threat.

When these people saw Li Shen's expression, they were all afraid.

They also know that the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and there are no laws at all.

As the protector of the capital, Li Shen held the military power and no one could stop him.

Killing them is easy and not difficult at all.

"All obey the orders of the Great Protector." Everyone bowed.

(The heart has mountains and rivers without pretense, and is quiet without arguing about right and wrong.)
