The leaders have not yet reacted to this prospect, and then listened to Qin Wenyuan's words.
"In addition! I also want to build a breeding farm for breeding high-quality military horses in the Khitan land. This matter requires the strong support of the prince."
At this point, Qin Wenyuan has already stated his general idea of developing the Khitan people on the grassland. What remains is the question of whether the Khitan people will develop according to their own ideas.
Before coming to the Khitan tribe, Qin Wenyuan had a secret conspiracy with Sima Yuntian and others. Considering that the Khitan was to be integrated into the military and political body of the entire Northeast, assimilating the Khitan and cooperating with the Han people was a crucial step, and how to achieve this For the purpose of assimilation, considering that the Khitan people are wild and untamed, the method of "boiling the frog in warm water" must be used to slowly incorporate them into the conceived strategy.
After the construction of the market town, a large number of officials with various skills and Confucian scholars who were good at teaching came here, implementing the dual development policy of people's livelihood and education, and gradually achieving the strategic goal of harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups in the concept.
The magnitude of the game that Qin Wenyuan played was known to outsiders, and they would definitely think that this guy was a little out of the blue.
What everyone doesn't know is that this is why Qin Wenyuan chose to explore the Northeast in the first place. The important thing is that the Li Dynasty has not yet implemented effective rule here, so that the court will not have fierce conflicts due to Xu Tian's control in the early stages of the development of the Northeast. Instead, he let this man do what he did with an attitude of being happy to see the results. It was precisely because of the court's narrow-minded thinking that Qin Wenyuan chose to develop the Northeast and make it the place where the Xu family's foundation will last forever.
No more gossip, let’s get down to business.
Hearing Qin Wenyuan's idea of establishing a breeding ground for military horses, Prince Ku Ge was also very interested and couldn't help laughing.
"Wonderful! My Khitan tribe has thousands of good horses. Master Xu's idea is really clever. If this can be achieved, the livelihood of thousands of herdsmen can be solved by raising horses. I naturally agree to Master Xu's suggestion. .”
After saying this, Prince Ku Ge continued.
"Your Majesty Qin has mentioned the establishment of many workshops, the selection of land for farming and the preparation of market towns. I wonder how you will implement it in the Khitan tribe, and how the tribesmen under my jurisdiction will intervene."
"This matter is simple. After Qin returns to Longcheng, he should mobilize officials and craftsmen who are good at such civil affairs to enter the Khitan tribe and choose a place to carry out the work. The prince only needs to restrain the tribesmen to cooperate. All Khitan tribesmen are willing to enter the workshop and learn Farmers, those who delayed grazing in the early days to make a living, all received living supplies from Liaoxi to help them improve their enthusiasm for work and study."
"This is very good. This move by Lord Qin has solved the problems that the Khitan has faced for hundreds of years. I am very happy. The Khitan people should act according to the orders of the Qin family in the future and will never have the slightest intention of rebellion. .”
After Brother Ku said this, all the leaders also saluted and shouted.
"We will obey the prince's instructions and serve the Xu family with the prince, without any second thoughts!"
Since then, the Khitan people and Qin Wenyuan have reached a strategic cooperative relationship of advancing and retreating together, and implemented the strategic policy of relying mainly on Qin Wenyuan's will for the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, while the Khitan people have been able to thrive stably with the help of Qin Wenyuan.
In view of the news that the shaman commander reported that the Northeast region was willing to worship Qin Wenyuan as king, Brother Ku naturally knew how important it would be for Qin Wenyuan to rule as king, and the grades of officials in various places under his rule were also rising, so he treated Xu God says again.
"The Khitan people hope that the commander-in-chief will ascend to the throne as soon as possible so that we and our people can share the glory of the royal court."
Qin Wenyuan responded calmly.
"The commander-in-chief has his own concerns about this matter. Why rush? It's better to do the things in front of you first and then talk about it!"
After everything was discussed, Qin Wenyuan ordered Zhou Cang to take out a beautiful box containing two pistols and hundreds of bullets and send it to Brother Ku and talk about his desire to marry Princess Caixia.
Princess Caixia was extremely happy to hear that Qin Wenyuan proposed marriage in public. When her father asked her if she was willing to marry Qin Wenyuan, the girl spoke generously.
"It's up to the father to make the decision, as long as the daughter agrees!"
Brother Ku knew his daughter's concerns, so he naturally followed suit. In fact, he had planned this matter for a long time. From every aspect, getting married with the Qin family was Brother Ku's best choice now. Facing the Tang Dynasty Youzhou garrison's attack on the Khitan people Under pressure, the old fox naturally wanted to find allies like the Qin family as backup. Otherwise, with the wild character of the Khitan people, how could the entire clan easily agree to submit to Qin Wenyuan.
"The commander-in-chief favors the daughter. If I am happy, how about choosing a day in the tribe for the daughter to marry the commander-in-chief?"
"That's very good. Thank you, Your Majesty, for making it happen!"
All the Khitan tribe leaders congratulated the prince and Qin Wenyuan one after another. After the shaman commander carefully combined the "birthdays" of Qin Wenyuan and Caixia, he reported to the prince.
"There will be an auspicious day for marriage in a few days. Your Majesty will make preparations early in the morning."
There is a saying: "People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and gods also envy the joy of mandarin ducks!"
In the grand joy of singing and dancing, Qin Wenyuan and Caixia completed the marriage ceremony under the auspices of the Khitan Great Shaman.
It's night, this guy is a bridegroom again, he is really happy!
In Princess Caixia's sleeping tent, a pair of red candles ignited a high flame. The shining candlelight reflected the beauty in the tent, making her look as charming as a flower waiting to bloom in the warm spring light. .
Handsome men and beauties, draped in candlelight, toasted each other the wedding wine on the low table, with happy and shy faces reflecting each other.
"Have a rest!"
Qin Wenyuan hugged the beauty tenderly and extinguished the candle with a flick of his fingertips.
There was a sudden gentle breeze and drizzle in the dark sleeping tent.
A few days later, Princess Caixia, now a woman with a face like a peach blossom and her hair tied up high, walked side by side with Qin Wenyuan from the Khitan royal court tribe, surrounded by many maids and personal guards.
But hundreds of people and horses were seen galloping in a line, with the sound of horse hoofbeats, gradually leaving the tribal tents dotted like white clouds under the blue sky.
In the late summer and early autumn of the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin sent Li Jing and more than ten people as "tacit envoys" to inspect various places in the Tang Dynasty to inspect officials and understand the situation in various places.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, the entire Northeast region began to undergo changes in full swing according to Qin Wenyuan's strategy. As the highway connecting Heishui County and Bohai City began to be constructed, a large number of people with theoretical and practical knowledge The officials gave full play to their talents, so that the people of Northeast China were learning various skills and were happy to benefit from the various policies issued by the "Generalissimo" government to benefit the people.
Various craftsmen led by the Mohists have already settled in the Khitan area. The location of the market town and the construction of various workshops were strongly supported by Prince Kuge, which led many tribesmen from each tribe to move their tents to the surroundings of the market town with their families. , idle laborers are all recruited as builders to participate. In addition to getting the opportunity to learn skills, they also get money to support their families.
Just when Qin Wenyuan was developing step by step, Qin Changqing, the wise king of the Tang Dynasty in "Licheng" in Qizhou, summoned his son Qin Wenyuan back to his house. The reason was that Li Jing and other officials from the imperial court had already visited "Licheng" for inspection.
Upon being summoned by his father, Qin Wenyuan entrusted the development of the Northeast to Sima Yuntian and other close military and political officials. General Xu Nian, who had now grown into the captain of the personal guard team, led a hundred personal guards to stay at the commander's mansion and protect Sima's safety, and ordered Zhou Cang to rectify the rest. The personal guards, together with Princess Caixia, Princess Minmin and Princess Gaoqin, embarked on the journey back home.
Zhou Cang led hundreds of personal guards to march in several carriages. In front of the team, Qin Wenyuan and Princess Caixia were all fully clothed and marched side by side. They passed through the "Gubeikou" pass to the "Youzhou" official office without entering, so that the people stationed in the city were Prince Li Xiaogong of the Tang Dynasty and Wei Xiaojie, the governor of "Youzhou", were very embarrassed after hearing the news.
The family members of the Qin Mansion in "Xuanyuan" gathered together. Qin Changqing and his wife met their two daughters-in-law, Caixia and Gao Qin, for the first time. They were delighted that the Xu family was prosperous. Lu Yue'er saw that her husband had another wife, and women already liked him. The reality is so speechless. As the daughter-in-law of the head of the Qin family, she knows that it is normal for a man like his husband to have three wives and four concubines. What she has to do is to play a leading role among the sisters and make Qin Wenyuan's woman The family will not be disturbed by jealousy.
After returning home for a few days, in addition to meeting with military and government officials at all levels in Qizhou at the "Licheng" palace all day long, he returned to Qin Mansion in the evening and wandered among the flowers, allowing the lady in the mansion to soak up the rain and dew. He was very happy and did not care at all. When will the imperial inspection officials arrive?
As for the imperial court's move to send officials to inspect various places, Qin Wenyuan had already learned from the intelligence sent back by Chen Laosan of Chang'an City. In fact, it didn't matter whether he returned to "Licheng" or not. It was just his father who wanted him to come forward to help. The officials of the imperial court sent a message that all affairs of the Qin family must be carried out according to the will of their father and son.
Just when Qin Wenyuan and his father spent all day in front of the huge sand table piled up in the palace of "Licheng" to demonstrate the development of the Northeast and how it would be integrated with Qizhou after development and implement a strategic layout of convenient sea and land transportation, someone stationed in "Guan County" Wang Huizan, the general of the Qin army, sent someone to report urgently that Li Jing and other dozens of officials from the Tang Dynasty had entered the territory of Qi.
Wang Huizan had already received orders from his prince not to make things difficult for Tang Dynasty officials who entered the Qi territory. The scouts in the army reported that when Li Jing and others were approaching the "Guanxian" city, he saw the coming flags waving on the city tower, and dozens of officials under the banner of Imperial Envoys of the Tang Dynasty. Tang army cavalry with bright armor galloped over.
The gate of the "Guanxian" city was wide open. Wang Huizan led several generals of the Qin army to stand in front of the city gate with their helmets on. On the city tower, the soldiers of the Qin army stood at attention with their swords and guns, and dozens of artillery pieces shone with a biting light in the sun.
When the Tang army approached, Wang Huizan and several generals of the Xu army met them.
In front of the Tang army's cavalry, Wang Huizan reined in his horse and turned it away in the face of Li Jing and others.
"My lords, please invite me. A certain family is here to welcome the imperial envoys under the order of the prince. I also invite you to accompany a certain family into the city to rest."
Li Jing naturally knew Wang Huizan, a general who served under Qin Changqing and was loyal to the Xu family. He always knew that this guy was very skilled in martial arts. He could appear and disappear with a long spear. He often took the heads of enemy generals from thousands of troops. For a moment, he didn't dare to lift them up, and he was on horseback. He bowed his head and said with his hands in his hands.
"Excuse me, General Wang. I would be very grateful. Please!"
The entire Tang army entered the city gate with the imperial envoy. Li Jing and others saw the power of the Qin army at the city gate. They all secretly thought that the Qin army was so strong that they did not pay attention to such an elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing and other officials took a short rest in the city, and then galloped towards "Licheng" led by the Qin Army's hundred-man spearmen.
From what they saw along the way, Li Jing and other officials finally knew how prosperous Qizhou was under the rule of the Xu family. This could be seen from the road to "Licheng" alone. They secretly wondered how many of the cities in the Tang Dynasty were built with roads. Such a smooth journey.
Along both sides of the road, smoke curled up from cooking fires in the villages, and the fields were full of people working contentedly. Scenes of families enjoying themselves with their children could be seen everywhere. It was the poor people who stopped everywhere on both sides of the road to watch the faces of their officers and soldiers. Apart from his respect for the officers and soldiers, he showed no fear at all.
Li Jing couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw it.
"The Qin family's administration makes the people healthy, and Qizhou is the land of the king!"
I think along the way, although many people in Tangzhou City are living and working in peace and contentment, their spiritual outlook is quite different compared to the people in Qizhou.
In front of the gate of "Licheng", Qin Wenyuan was wearing a moon-white prince's robe embroidered with blue lace, and a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head. He was sitting on horseback with a smile. He saw the spearmen of the Qin Army leading Li Jing and other large groups to come over. The spearmen and others bowed and dispersed, shouting loudly.
"My lords, you have worked hard all the way. Please rest in the post house first. I will help you to take care of the wind and dust. How about going to the palace for business tomorrow?"
Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Yan Liben and other officials who knew Qin Wenyuan naturally came forward to answer him one after another, and they all agreed with this arrangement.
After the defenders of "Licheng" led the Tang army to the military camp to station themselves, Qin Wenyuan once again exchanged greetings with Li Jing and others in front of the city gate.
"What are you doing here when you are not in charge of Dragon City? Do you want to meet me here?"
"Hehe! I guess you adults have something to do here and want to go to Liao for inspection. I can take advantage of the opportunity of returning home to tell you the situation in Liao, so that you will not be tired from the journey. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"You have so many tricks up your sleeve. This time I inspected various places according to the emperor's decree. Naturally, I took the trouble to go around and observe the livelihood of the people and the political achievements of officials in various places. Is it possible that you, the old man from Longcheng, can't wait to go?"
"No, no! Aren't we afraid that your lords will be affected? Moreover, Liao land is still under large-scale construction. If we have time to welcome you, wouldn't we let you be treated disrespectfully and treat our guests poorly? Is it a crime?"
"False! Lead the way, I'll go to the post house to rest first."
"My lords, please!"
In the post house where "Licheng" received imperial officials and foreign envoys, Li Jing and others went to the hall and sat down one after another after washing up.
Except for Li Jing, Wei Zheng, and Yan Liben, who were familiar with each other, the other officials Xu Tian were mostly well-known but had never interacted with each other. However, it turned out that it was the ministers of the imperial court who carried out the first attack on the Tang Dynasty for the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty under the control of Li Jing.
A nationwide inspection to monitor the governance level of local officials and the development of people's livelihood...
After instructing the person in charge of the post house to prepare delicious food and wine, Qin Wenyuan drank tea with the court officials in the hall and chatted about the recent development of the Tang Dynasty.
