Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

"Oh? Could it be that old guy Tuli is too poor to get rid of the pot?"

Li Wenhao sneered and didn't take it seriously.

but……

At this time, the grassland was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. In the extreme west of the grassland, a mighty army came towards Qibi Heli's tribe. They braved the wind and snow all the way, driving cattle and sheep without knowing where to go. How long have you been here.

"Go home."

"Wakemu, we are finally home. We were driven out of our ancestral land and forced to move westward. I'm afraid those Han people would never expect us to come back if they were killed?"

"Yeah, Dahan, I'm back home. The grassland that our ancestors miss so much. We're back. Not only are we back, we've also brought back 50 fine riders."

"I didn't expect that the descendant who released the Ma family slaves back then has become a profuse khan on the grassland, and he hasn't forgotten us. With our 50 army, it is enough to flatten the Central Plains."

The man called the Great Khan said proudly that he had brought 50 iron cavalry plus soldiers and horses from the Qibi Heli Department, and it would be no problem to pull up an army of tens of thousands or even a million. Time, Zhongyuan, why stop them?

"Send someone to inform Qibi Heli and tell him that we are here."

The man called Great Khan looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar land and shouted in a low voice.

A storm against the Tang Dynasty and the entire Han nationality is about to unfold, but at this time, the land of the Central Plains is indeed singing and dancing, and the people are singing and dancing.

"Your Majesty, King Han and King Jin are back."

The people were elated, and the palace was full of joy. No matter how catastrophic or catastrophic this year was, it was over now, and the people's livelihood was getting better and better. The year was approaching, and even Wei Zheng, a flat-headed brother, had restrained himself a lot.

"Oh? Dalang didn't come back?"

"Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never returned to the palace."

"This rebellious son, what kind of moth is he doing? Don't you know how to go home after the Chinese New Year?"

Li Chengqian and Li Ke directly knelt down towards Li Shimin, "I have seen my father!"

"Get up, what's the matter with you big brother?"

"I would like to report to my father, my elder brother said that this year, Hebei Province has just improved, and he wants to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers and civilians of Hebei Province."

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, but he was still very satisfied in his heart. If a man wants to achieve great things, he must give up some things.

"Okay, second brother, Da Lang, as the crown prince, naturally has more things to carry on his shoulders."

Empress Changsun said quietly, and stepped forward to help Li Chengqian and Li Ke, "You two have been exhausted all the way, so hurry up to wash up and have a good rest."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat side by side, obviously, his mind was not on this.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Guanyin maidservant, this Tuli invited me to meet at Yanmen Pass in the next year. I wonder what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

"Yanmen Pass? Wasn't Yang Guang surrounded by Turkic people when he was at Yanmen Pass? You even led troops to rescue him. Could it be that he, Tuli, wanted to replicate the situation back then?"

"It's hard to say!"

"I'm also wondering what Tuli's purpose is, but neither Baiqisi nor Jin Yiwei has sent back any news."

"Tuli's move, why?"

Li Shimin's brows frowned into a Sichuan character.

"Thinking about it, Tuli won't do anything excessive, after all, Dalang Chen Binghebei, he doesn't care about you, shouldn't he have to worry about Dalang, is he going to copy his old background?"

Empress Changsun said with a smile, her words were full of satisfaction with Li Wenhao, which made Li Shimin eat a big bucket of dry vinegar.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Turkic side."

"bring here!"

Just when Li Shimin was hesitating, Turkic sent another message.

"The Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for example, you and I are friends and neighbors, and Jieli tigers and wolves want to go south with their swords, but they are beyond their control."

"Now I am a Turk, and I want to follow the example of your Han people to cultivate and be self-sufficient. Therefore, in the spring of next year, I am willing to bring all my family members to the outside of Yanmen Pass in person to form an eternal friendship with the Great Tang Emperor."

Li Shimin handed Tuli's letter to Empress Changsun, "Guanyin maid, look, Tuli bought seeds from Dalang, and wants to develop people's livelihood by himself. This is a silent contest with my Tang Dynasty gone."

"This is also a good thing. He wants to develop the people's livelihood, but he must also develop it. When the time comes, the initiative will still be in my hands, Datang?"

"Right!"

"Then spring next year, you will follow me to Yanmen Pass for a walk, and it will be a spring outing."

"it is good!"

Empress Changsun smiled and agreed.

Li Shimin's expression was also very smug, invisibly, he compared himself with Yang Guang.

At this time, Li Wenhao, who was far away on Hebei Road, had no idea that his father had just caused a small disaster, and now he was about to cause a big one.

Can you believe what Tuli said?

Can the words of the prairie people be believed?

In case Tuli turned against the water directly at Yanmen Pass...

The consequences were unimaginable.

But at this time, Li Wenhao received an extremely different combination in Fanyang City.

A father and daughter of the Mohe tribe.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I am the leader of the Mohe Tribe, and I..."

"I want to bring my tribe, join Datang, and become your people for generations."

The man in the animal skin spoke directly.

"Oh? Why do you want to join my Tang Dynasty?"

"Because we want to eat salt."

The little girl grabbed it, and even mentioned salt, and there was infinite longing in her eyes.

Chapter 233

"Eat salt? Don't you Mohe tribe have any salt?"

"Yes, but they are all eaten by brothers and uncles. Little Douding can only lick them..."

Li Wenhao looked suspiciously at the man who claimed to be the leader of the Mohe tribe. If his memory is correct, this Mohe tribe is the ancestor of the Jurchen tribe. Years later.

"His Royal Highness, my name is Gu Yatuo, and this is my daughter, Xiao Douding. There is nothing we can do. We must first ensure that the man has salt to eat, otherwise he will not be able to survive in the jungle."

Li Wenhao nodded. What Gu Yatuo said made sense. The Mohe people in history were a very ancient nation that existed in the pre-Qin period. Too much.

According to historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were a total of [-] households in Mohe. According to the household registration method of the fishing and hunting peoples, these [-] households had a total of millions of people. The chief of the tribe with ten thousand people is dressed so miserable.

A tribe can't even afford salt, even the daughter of the tribe's chief has no salt supply.

"Are you really thinking I'm an idiot?"

"It's not that I don't know the leader of the Mohe tribe."

"No, no, no, it's not what you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the one you mentioned is the chief, and we..."

"You what?"

Li Wenhao raised his eyebrows. If the father and daughter don't give him a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid he will use some means. Li Wenhao was a lot more cautious when he lured the king into the urn, and he was seriously injured in the end. Eating once is enough.

"There are less than 200 people in our tribe, of which there are only 50 men, and the rest are women and children. Apart from being able to eat enough, we have no money to buy salt, and the chief doesn't care about us."

Gu Yatuo's voice turned out to be a bit desolate, but it's true when you think about it, as long as someone in your own clan is in charge of them, they won't come to Li Wenhao, a foreigner, who is willing to leave their hometown if they can survive?

dong dong dong dong!

Li Wenhao tapped the table lightly with his hand. He believed that what Gu Yatuo said was definitely not just their own. In the white mountains and black waters, there must be many small tribes like them. These small tribes have low production capacity. , coupled with the fact that there are few people, it is of no help to most of the mohes, and naturally they are in a state of being freed.

Moreover, Li Wenhao felt that he had fallen into a cognitive misunderstanding. Mohe is definitely not as simple as the one hundred thousand households on the surface.

You know, in ancient times, the poorer you were, the more children you had. The idea of ​​the ancients was very simple. If one more person worked, there would be more income. In addition, there were no effective contraceptive measures. Like laying eggs...

Moreover, there are so many small tribes that are not cared about by the Mohe tribe. Li Wenhao even felt that if all the people in the Mohe tribe were added up, there would be no less than 500 million people.

The 500 million doesn't have to be all his, even if it's only half, or even a third, then...

Look at Gu Yatuo's strong muscles, coupled with their sturdy folk customs, this is a born fighter.

You must know that there are only seven big tribes in Mohe at this time. This is the official statistics, but there may be thousands of small tribes like Gu Yatuo.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

"Gu Yatuo, let me ask you, how many people like you who can't eat salt are there in the poor mountains and rivers?"

"Many, too many. There are no less than [-] small tribes around our tribe alone, and there are even more far away."

"His Royal Highness, it's time for breakfast."

"Ok!"

Li Wenhao nodded, and glanced at the father and daughter standing below, "You haven't eaten yet, let's have something together!"

"it is good!"

"Ate!"

The father and daughter looked at each other awkwardly.

"Okay, let's have dinner together, look at that little girl is skinny."

Ordering people to bring more meals, Li Wenhao picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it.

"Wow, there's salt in this side dish!"

"This one also has..."

"All..."

"Daddy, eat quickly."

Li Wenhao looked at Xiao Douding eating vegetables with big mouthfuls, but rarely drank porridge, and looked at Gu Yatuo with some doubts.

"His Royal Highness, this child, in the tribe, eats vegetables with salt quite often. Under normal circumstances, they are eaten by strong men, and the rest are given to their little girls."
