Although Li Tai did not have no foundation in Longxi area due to the development of the Wei River, at least in Qinzhou and Weizhou, there were cotton bases.
However, because cotton technology is not advanced enough and the Silk Road has not been developed yet, these two places are not so eye-catching in Li Tai's plan.
It is not a matter of overnight a day to build a commercial channel directly to the four counties of Hexi. However, with Weizhou and Shengzhou as bridgeheads, it would be much easier to quickly deliver materials to Shanzhou, the Hehuang Valley.
After all, Li Tai developed the Hehuang Valley. Before the Hehuang Valley was self-sufficient, Chang'an needed to transport supplies.
No matter what, as Peacock transported the batch of supplies to Li Tai, Li Tai said that he was rich.
Don't say it, at least the soldiers who have been reclaiming the land have found that their staple food have gradually changed from fried noodles, wheat rice, and barley rice to fragrant big white steamed buns. After eating this, the soldiers' enthusiasm for working has also begun to become
More spiritual.
At the same time, Li Tai also issued quotas to each chief and chief clerk. Each chief clerk can recommend a person who is insured and become a chief clerk. In addition, each chief clerk can recommend five chief clerks to join
In the Fengyi army.
It’s not that Li Tai didn’t want more people to participate, but because of Murong Fuyun’s recruitment and the Tang army’s plunder of the local area, there were only a few workers of the right age who survived.
Not to mention the quota given by yourself, the number of Fengyi Army exceeded 5,000.
In terms of the basic number of people ranging from about 30,000 to 50,000, if your purpose is not to organize this construction army to resume production, it will definitely cause the local population to be discontinued.
But now, the quota released by Li Tai is still quite touching to the locals.
Don't say that as long as you follow the Tang army to reclaim the fields, not only will you be fed and stayed, but you will also take food and salt home every week. For the people who have just experienced the war, it makes them feel better than this.
I was moved.
After all, in their simple values, as long as they have this quota, they will be considered as having a public meal in the Tang Dynasty.
For the people at the bottom, even those of the alien race, nothing is more considerate than this.
Adori returned home, with his mother, two sisters and a younger brother at home. He put the rice, flour and salt in his hands into his mother's hands, making his mother's eyes lit up, and then took it and put it carefully.
Although there is little rice and flour here, for the family, one ounce is enough to last for a few days, especially spring is coming, and after a few days, you can find some wild vegetables to eat. At least this difficult winter,
I've gotten through it.
"Mother, Datang gave me a quota. Ah brother is fourteen years old. I want Ah brother to work with me!" said Adori.
When Adori's mother heard Adori's words, she said, "Dang army still wants people, do they also provide food, accommodation and food?"
"Yeah!" Adori nodded, "Tang Jun keeps his word, and he won't be hungry if he follows them!"
"Then let him follow you!" Adori's mother nodded.
In fact, this scene has appeared in many people's homes, and this time is enough to make these people believe Tang Jun's promise.
In the feudal era, food and accommodation were quite good treatment, let alone food being taken home.
For local people, at least for the current people, this treatment is enough.
It must be worth mentioning that if it were not for the war, the local population had dropped sharply, and the quota given by Li Tai would have been far from enough. But even so, someone still came to ask if the woman could be pulled in? She was still rejected.
As these people followed Li Tai's personal guards to make food and accommodation, and even got their own flour, they worked harder.
But soon, these working people discovered that the Tang people who worked with them basically did not receive flour, but instead received something called food coupons.
At first, I thought the Tang people didn't need it, but later I saw that the Tang people used this food coupon to pay when they entered and exited the shops opened by the Tang people, especially various daily necessities could be bought with this food coupon, and I immediately understood the use of the food coupon.
Li Tai also raised their weekly wages so that one person could raise three people after bringing back the weekly food.
This made these people dare to take out some of the grain and exchange it for food coupons and buy daily necessities that Li Tai transported through peacocks.
Li Tai had no intention of exploiting them. On the contrary, Li Tai understood that if they had no money and food, they would not dare to consume. If they did not dare to consume, they would not be able to establish a sufficient business system here, without a single one
If a suitable business system is trapped in them, how can they be united with the Tang Dynasty?
Simply put, if the Tang Dynasty had not been guaranteed, the food coupons they had were just a piece of waste paper.
If they fight with Tubo in the future, even if they want to protect their wealth, they must fight against Tubo.
Of course, Li Tai is just a nail in this kind of thing. The most important thing is to let them adapt to the use of grain coupons, thereby strengthening their economic ties with the Tang Dynasty, so as to promote cultural integration.
.
However, Liu Shenwei soon came to Li Tai again, not to collect medicinal materials, but to build a medicine garden in the local area.
After going down the mountain, the soldiers' condition stabilized somewhat under the careful treatment of the medical camp, but it is not easy to recover from this chronic altitude sickness, and it requires cultivation.
In addition, a lot of medicines were consumed during the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and in terms of time, it was winter at that time, and it was not easy to pick medicines.
Therefore, Liu Shenwei mainly focuses on taking care of the wounded, after all, he uses sufficient diet to increase the resistance of the wounded to resist.
Because of the influence of Li Tai's thinking, or the establishment of the entire medical system, Liu Shenwei knew best that the current medical school system has a very large dependence on the medicinal materials supported by logistics.
It’s like the various medicine powders brought by oneself. Basically, most of the time it takes to consume half of the time after a war, but it takes at least two years to make them.
But now as the spring goes east and spring comes, everything is reviving, and ordinary people are plowing in spring, while Liu Shenwei feels that it is necessary to open a medicine garden in the Hehuang Valley, where the medicines here are mainly for the treatment of altitude sickness.
"I didn't expect that I hadn't said that you went to the front of me!" Li Tai couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Shenwei coming to discuss this matter with him. Some things started, Liu Shenweibi
They are all active.
"Is King Yan ready?" Liu Shenwei asked solemnly when he heard Li Tai's words.
Liu Shenwei knew Li Tai's habits. Since Li Tai said that, he would generally prepare and arrange some things.
"I was originally planning to let Master Yuan survey the hills and build terraces, just to prepare for the construction of the pharmacy!"
Li Tai looked at Liu Shenwei and said, "The construction cost of terraces is high, and it is difficult to achieve scale and mechanization.
If it is just for it to grow staple foods such as wheat, it has a lower value, and it is better to grow some cash crops.
Not to mention that if the Tang Dynasty wanted to control the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the altitude sickness must be solved.
Therefore, it is inevitable to establish this pharmacy, but because Master Yuan also has to teach the students, he cannot escape.
So I just plan to put this matter aside first!"
To be honest, terraces can be said to be a miracle created by man and nature.
However, with the development of society, the efficiency of this production model is indeed not as efficient as that of large-scale mechanized production.
Although Li Tai hopes that the Hehuang Valley will become a grain production base, he does not intend to make the Hehuang Valley just avoid growing grain. Relatively speaking, planting some cash crops is a way to get rich.
"Since that's the case, I will build a medicine garden near Shancheng first. When Master Yuan completes the mountain and river survey and builds terraces in the future, I will transfer the medicine garden to it!"
Seeing Li Tai agreeing, Liu Shenwei prepared to go down to let the medical camp open a medicine garden.
Li Tai shook his head and said, "You go find Tian Changgeng and ask him to give you a piece of land to build a medicine garden. You can give him the specific amount.
In addition, you can draw all the medicinal materials for treating miasma, or take out the specimens for local people to see.
I will post the corresponding task to ask them to find the corresponding herbs and take you to the picking locations of these herbs to collect them.
Compared to the medical camps, we can only build the medicine shops quickly by relying on local people!”
"Thank you, King Yan!" Liu Shenwei heard that Li Tai still supported him so much, and quickly expressed his gratitude to Li Tai.
Li Tai waved his hand and asked Liu Shenwei to retreat, but he did not take this matter to heart.
But no one believed this at the beginning. There was really a naughty child who took Rhodiola, who had just emerged. He even dredged the farm and tried it, and then took everyone from the medical camp.
After Rhodiola's venue came back, a food coupon that could be exchanged for five kilograms of grain was put into his hands, which was considered a real reward.
After having the first person to eat crabs, the people inside and outside the town quickly became enthusiastic.
Especially local elderly people, they will definitely not be able to do anything if they want to work, but they know how to direct their grandson to dig herbs.
As the number of various medicinal materials gradually increased, especially the living environment of local herbs was understood, this task was cancelled by Li Tai.
This disappointed the local elderly and children for a long time. After all, it was so easy to make money. I am afraid that there would be no such store after passing through this village. They really couldn't bear to leave it!
But for Li Tai, this matter ended here. After all, it was mainly for the construction of Liu Shenwei's medicine garden. Liu Shenwei built the remote area, so naturally this matter ended here.
However, by the help of finding medicinal materials, Li Tai began to become more convenient when using this notice to recruit workers.
At least for the people of Shancheng, they gradually understood that regardless of what the notice said, the Tang people used this notice to count and could make money.
However, because it was the spring plowing period, Li Tai did not do anything randomly. In this case, in fact, in about two months, Li Tai asked Shancheng to resume spring plowing, which allowed local people to be more tempted by food temptations.
I made my point of working.
Of course, Li Tai did a good job in maintaining stability in Shanzhou, and Li Jing, who was also on the front line, also killed randomly!
Because of altitude sickness, Li Jing really didn't expect it, so he chose to camp on the spot and use his adaptive talent to accelerate the army to adapt to altitude sickness.
At the same time, Li Jing also returned Murong Fuyun's body to Tuyuhun, saying that he would give you half a month to consider, either surrender or continue the war. The main reason was that the Tang army was adapting to altitude sickness and was not suitable to go to war!
Facing Murong Fuyun's body, the battle began immediately inside Tuyuhun.
Some of them rejected the conditions proposed by the Tang Dynasty, but some of them thought they would surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
The two sides even quarreled and even had armed conflicts, which Li Jing did not expect.
In fact, strictly speaking, because Tuyuhun was originally from the Xianbei, some people in the tribe were sinicized and they longed to live the life of the Tang Dynasty.
However, some people inherited the living habits of grassland peoples and still hoped to live a nomadic life even more.
The two factions were originally somewhat incompatible, but with Murong Fuyun, the Khan, suppressed them, they could barely survive.
Even Murong Fuyun plundered Liangzhou, which meant to shift the contradictions outward.
However, he did not expect that he would directly hit the ghost by diverting conflicts from outside.
The Tang Dynasty originally had the intention of recapturing the four counties of Hexi and restoring the territory of the Han Dynasty. Murong Fuyun hit him head-on, which naturally made his head blossom for the Tang Dynasty.
It would be fine if Murong Fuyun did not die. Maybe the conflict between the two sides in Tuyuhun could be suppressed and another decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty. But when others left, the body returned, and then the suppressed conflict in Tuyuhun would naturally be
It erupted.
At this moment, facing the opportunity to surrender given by Li Jing directly triggered a conflict between the two sides. Prime Minister Tianzhu and Crown Prince Murong Fushun directly broke out.
At this time, King Tianzhu had more power than Murong Fushun, so he directly beat Murong Fushun up.
Murong Fuyun brought the remaining troops to join Li Jing.
Li Jing looked at Murong Fushun's remnants coming, and his eyes were a little confused. He sent the corpse over just to delay time. When the soldiers under his command recovered, why did you directly break out in a civil war?
I really missed a good opportunity!
But no matter what, with Murong Fushun's arrival, at least there is no need to find a guide on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Through Murong Fushun, we learned about the tribal situation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the soldiers have also recovered.
Li Jing made a quick decision and divided his troops into two groups. Li Jing himself and Xue Wanjun and Li Daliang attacked the northwest, Hou Junji and Li Daozong attacked the southwest, and finally fought a decisive battle at the Tiandu tribe in the west of Qinghai.
The armies of both sides gathered accurately on the day of the decisive battle, attacked from front to back, and defeated the three tribes of Tuyuhun Tianzhu at the minimum cost, and collected 200,000 miscellaneous animals. In one battle, Tuyuhun completely lost the power to restore the country.
However, Tuyuhun was not considered a destruction of the country. Because of Murong Fuyun's surrender and the Tang Dynasty's dislike of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, after Li Shimin's consent, Murong Fuyun was allowed to continue grazing west of Qinghai Lake and south of Dafei River.
But the north of Dafeichuan, Qinghai, and east of Qinghai are all owned by the Tang Dynasty, because Li Shimin considered that Li Tai would build it here and play it, so he should give Li Tai enough strategic depth to experiment with the Grass Plan.
Since then, Tuyuhun has been completely calmed down.
