What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, the army naturally has nothing to say, but the navy is really not good.To be honest, Datang's shipbuilding technology is probably not as good as that of Goguryeo, that is, it is a little better than that of Wa country.It was not easy for Wa to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty every time. After all, their ships were really not very good.However, they have a ruthless spirit in their bones. Over the years, they have some understanding of the climate and ocean currents at sea. When sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, they usually choose the season with the wind. Cultural knowledge and technology, and they can also get a lot of rewards. With such benefits, even if the sea is rough and the waves are rough, they will come here bravely.

Li Yue didn't focus on the Wa Kingdom, he was thinking about Ryukyu, which should be called Liuqiu at the moment, which was discovered by Yang Guang back then. It was originally called Liuqiu, and later the Sui Dynasty became the former dynasty. In Sui Shu, in order to avoid taboo, the name was changed to Liuqiu.This is a good place. Now the population is not large, and there is no unified government. The land there is relatively fertile. Whether it is rice or sugar cane, it is a good place. The most important thing is that it is relatively close. In the past It is also more convenient.And using it as a springboard, it is more convenient to explore the sea!

If this is the case, Li Yue would really like to go directly to Lingnan, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there is not so much nonsense, but Li Zhi probably won't be happy.

Speaking of Lingnan, Fang Yi'ai has already arrived there now, just in time for the first crop of fruit to ripen.If it weren't for the hot and humid climate here, and the miasma in the mountains, Fang Yiai would really think that Lingnan is actually a very good place.Although Chang'an is prosperous, there are only those kinds of fresh fruits throughout the year. In spring, it is nothing more than cherries, in summer, peaches, plums, apricots and some melons, in autumn, there are autumn pears, and then citrus.It sounds like a lot, but in fact, if you really want to count it, there are only a few kinds, especially in winter, citrus is delicious to eat, but it is easy to get angry, especially in Chang'an itself, which is relatively dry in winter. Even eating citrus, it is inevitable that it will make people feel a little uncomfortable.

But the situation in Lingnan is much better. In a sense, it is really the fragrance of melons and fruits all year round. It seems that when Fang Yiai arrives, the lychees are already ripe, and there are also loquats, red bayberry, longan, Olives and the like, some wild fruits in the mountains also have some flavors.And the fruits originally produced in the north or the western regions are also easy to grow here.

These fruits all have one characteristic, which is that they are not durable for storage. Since then, the canned food industry has a lot to offer. Fang Yiai hit it off with the Feng family in Lingnan, and quickly chose a place to finalize the canned food business. down.

The Feng family has been entrenched in Lingnan for many years, and it can be regarded as a big dog. In particular, there are a lot of sugar cane planted here. Even if the imperial court has strengthened its control over Lingnan over the years, the Feng family has not lost money!However, Lingnan is not the family of the Feng family. In fact, after the Jin family crossed south, the control over Lingnan is much stronger than before. Of course, it is not the Sima family, but other noble families.When these gentry were in the north, they were powerful families. After crossing to the south, they relied on their own strong productivity and the manpower they brought to enclose land, forcing the local gentry to have nowhere to go. It was only then that the Sun En Rebellion was brewed.Because of the climate problem in Lingnan and the various ethnic groups originally living in Lingnan, even though the outer areas of Lingnan have been developed to a certain extent, the further inwards, it is actually the patriarchs of the various ethnic groups who are in charge. The Feng family is nothing more than a The big local snake, and the former Mrs. Xian's high prestige among the various ethnic groups in Lingnan, therefore, the Feng family was able to control Lingnan to a certain extent.

It's just that no matter how powerful Mrs. Xian and Feng An are, they are both dead now. No matter how much the tribes are grateful for the friendship and prestige of each other, the sons of the Feng family don't have this prestige now, even if they are all killed. The governor was sealed, but how could these mountain people buy this account.Since you know that sugar cane can make money, why let the Feng family take it.Among these mountain people, quite a few of them were already quite Sinicized. They took refuge in the imperial court very quickly, and ate a lot from the sugarcane business.

Although the Feng family felt a little dissatisfied with this, their arms could not twist their thighs. The reason why Feng An honestly took refuge in the imperial court was that the Lingnan side seemed to be united, but in fact it was still a mess. But it is impossible to fight against the imperial court for the Feng family, and it is the same now. The Feng family has monopolized the sugarcane business for many years, and they have already made enough money. If this continues, they will not be Lingnan kings, but also Lingnan kings!After all, Lingnan's economic lifeline is in their hands. If the imperial court allows them to control it, the Feng family may not be able to control it.

Fortunately, the current head of the Feng family is quite wise. Even if the court clearly wanted to mix sand in Lingnan, they finally accepted it. However, the previous exclusive business also made the Feng family different from before.In the past, the Feng family could be regarded as hard-working and simple. After all, although Lingnan is rich in products, there are not many that can be sold for money. Moreover, although the price of something in Lingnan is not unattainable, it is not cheap either. , who made the traffic here inconvenient!However, after the Feng family made enough money in the sugar cane business, the situation was different.The so-called wealth and pride, when you have no money, everyone can live a hard life, but when you have money, it is impossible for you to be as hard as before.In particular, several sons of the Feng family even went to Chang'an for a trip. Compared to those second generations in Chang'an, they are simply the turkeys among the turkeys.They had money in their hands, and soon learned all kinds of extravagant and lustful activities from the second generations in Chang'an. After returning to Lingnan, this style of work could not be changed.Many things in Lingnan are more expensive than in Chang'an. There is no way, even if they are not expensive at first, they will become more expensive after they are shipped to Lingnan.Therefore, the expenses have become more and more expensive. Now, the dividends of sugar cane are no longer there, and they are thinking about whether they can get some money from other places. As a result, when Fang Yiai came, and when they heard about Fang Yiai's deeds, they immediately panicked. It's exciting.

Fang Yiai is not familiar with the place here, so he can't recruit anyone, but the Feng family is not afraid, there are people in the Feng family who have land, and the very precious Jiaguo in the Central Plains, in Lingnan, will often have to rot in in the field.These fruits can't really be eaten as food, and they will be broken in a day or two after picking them off, and they have no other way to deal with them. It's still inconvenient, now that there is a means of long-term preservation, it is a great thing for Lingnan, so Fang Yiai just showed it a little, and the Feng brothers agreed directly.

Then, Fang Yiai talked about building a ship to go to Qiongzhou. In fact, the shipbuilding technology in Lingnan is not bad, but they usually just walk along the coastline, and they don’t sail far. They went out to sea and went to Qiongzhou or Yizhou, so they didn't care about it, but after hearing that a group of princes and relatives wanted to grow spices in Qiongzhou, they also made up their minds.Here in Lingnan, as long as they don't agree, it's not easy for you to go to sea. Although the port is nominally owned by the imperial court, the skilled sailors here are actually Lingnan people!

Fang Yiai was so happy that there were so many people involved, and when he turned around to deal with the natives in Qiongzhou, it was best to let Lingnan take action. After all, their people are not suitable for the local climate, and their people used to be for the sake of giving They didn't make a fortune by farming the land, but they didn't let them kill people with knives!

The battle situation in the Central Plains has no effect on Lingnan. Even at the time when Wu Huan Hua was in the past, the Hu people had no ability to come to Lingnan. I don't care about it.

But when Fang Yi'ai saw the Dibao, she became concerned.These days, money alone is useless, and ordinary fame is not enough. He used to be famous for improving printing and papermaking techniques, but he never thought that the aristocratic family is best at playing with public opinion. They deliberately lowered Fang Yiai's reputation. The sense of existence, trying to erase the credit of Fang Yiai, even secretly saying that a certain craftsman researched it, and Fang Yiai just took the credit of the craftsman by relying on herself as a son-in-law.They turned black and white, and Fang Yiai had nothing to do.After all, Fang Yiai didn't want to delve too deeply into this matter. After all, the aristocratic family was seriously abused by cheap papermaking and printing techniques. He had already heard a little bit of rumors that Li Zhi planned to make a fuss about the imperial examination to reduce the number of aristocratic families. The admission ratio of children.Although Fang Yiai didn't know what Li Zhi planned to do, the aristocratic family's right to speak in the court has actually been reduced a lot. Li Zhi would rather promote those poor families who are not very good in moral integrity, and he is not willing to continue Promote those officials who come from aristocratic families.Since the aristocratic families will be unlucky sooner or later, then Fang Yiai will have a large number of adults, so he will not be strangled with these aristocratic families.However, Fang Yiai still feels that her current status is not safe enough. After much deliberation, the safest thing is military merit.

Except for the wonderful Jin Dynasty, before the Tang Dynasty, in all dynasties, the most expensive thing was military merit. For the same title, military merit is awarded with a higher gold content, and this stuff is hard currency, which can be used to offset crimes. Therefore, Fang Yiai is very If you want some military merit, this will be a talisman in the future.

Although Fang Yiai said he had brute strength before, he was impatient and didn't have any good opportunities. The most recent opportunity was actually the attack on Goguryeo during the Zhenguan period. Unfortunately, at that time Fang Xuanling wanted to help He pushed it in, but at that time he got into trouble again, and in the end he could only hide in the capital. After missing this opportunity, even if there were one or two chances later, the problem is that when Li Zhigang took the throne, The relationship between the couple and Li Zhi is not good, so even if there is a chance to win military merit, it is not his turn.But this time, even if you can't eat meat, you can still drink some soup!Therefore, Fang Yiai immediately ignored Lingnan's side, and left the people he had brought with him, and asked them to build a shelf with the Feng family first, and he rushed to Chang'an in a hurry.

Fang Yiai's thinking is very reasonable. The Turks invaded the border and destroyed several cities. I don't know how many people suffered and how much wealth was robbed. In the court, Li Zhi's face became more and more ugly. He has made up his mind. , this time, if Ashina Helu's head is not sent to the Taimiao, he will definitely not let it go!

Therefore, Datang, a huge state machine, began to mobilize quickly. Now it is not just a matter of driving the Turkic army out, but of killing them all.

On Li Yue's side, although there are criticisms about his actions in the court, and someone impeaches him almost every day, if there is a quantitative KPI assessment at this time, then any envoy who does not impeach Li Yue will definitely fail the KPI assessment of.

Li Zhi kept all the excerpts, but Li Yue pretended not to know anything.The Turkic people are the ones who know the Turkic people best, and their neighbors on the grasslands also know the Turkic people very well.The same is true for those small countries in the Western Regions. Now they want to hug Datang's thigh, so they also start to make trouble for the Turkic people!

In short, in just over half a month, someone came to Li Yue to receive the reward.The ones who came were still Turks. Li Yue just said that he wanted to bring things that could prove the identities of those tribes and their victories. As a result, these people not only brought the flags of those tribes and other symbols, but also killed them. Those Turkic people who lost their ears were cut off and brought here together.

Naturally, Li Yue wouldn't go to check and accept in person, and the ones who went to check and accept were Fang Yi and Li Qia.

Li Qia pinched his nose and looked at the ears that had begun to emit a strong rotten smell, lowered his voice and said to Fang Yi: "These Turkic people just cut off their ears to fool us, right?"

Fang Yi shook his head, agreed to lower his voice, and said, "You don't know these Turkic or Hu people. The wars between their tribes are actually very cruel. In order to prevent the other party from causing trouble to me, After breaking through the opponent's tribe, generally all the men who are taller than the wheel will be executed directly, and the women and younger children will be kept as slaves of the tribe! Therefore, most of these are cut from the dead, but Whether or not they all belong to that tribe is a question! However, if they belong to any tribe, it’s fine if they’re not Han Chinese!”

The Fang family is not like those Guanlong nobles in Longxi who have always intermarried with Xianbei people. The Fang family is a Qinghe noble family and has always maintained a pure Han blood.Fang Xuanling disagreed with what Li Shimin said back then, "China has been valued since ancient times, barbarians are cheap, and I love them all as one."Li Shimin is really unreliable on this point. If the Tang Dynasty hadn't exported a large amount of advanced technology to foreigners at this moment, the Song Dynasty might not have become a coward!

Fang Yi, as Fang Xuanling's son, naturally had the same idea.Anyway, those Turkic people dare not kill Han people to take credit, so it doesn't matter who they kill, it's the same anyway.

Li Yue thought the same way, so although he couldn't be sure who these people were, Li Yue still gave them what the Turks wanted to exchange as promised.These Turkic people carried a lot of felt cloth, woolen wool, woolen yarn and some iron pots, and left happily. Looking at them, after tasting the sweetness, they might want to do it again. ticket.

More and more people came to Ningzhou to receive the reward, and Ashina Helu also heard the news. Suddenly, many Turkic people who were delighted to have snatched a lot of wealth were suddenly dumbfounded.Naturally, it is impossible for them to bring the old and weak, women and children with them when they come out, and they all stay in their hometown!If their hometown is taken away, what's the point of them grabbing so many things back?Suddenly, the Turkic army was in chaos!If it weren't for Ashina Helu's prestige, the leaders of some tribes could immediately return to the grassland with their own warriors!

At this time, Datang's army also completed its assembly and encircled them from several directions.
