Long Zhi returned to northern Xinjiang, arranged his family, and wrote to the emperor, saying that the Xiongnu in the north were getting stronger and stronger, and there were faint cavalry of 1oo people, and there were always signs of attacking the Great Sui. Therefore, it is necessary to have good fortifications, and the best fortifications are to build a city that can accommodate millions of people, with walls that are hundreds of kilometers long. Long Zhi and in the recital to the emperor, the design drawings were also drawn, and it was on the border fortress that there was an open area of 5o kilometers for a long month, which happened to build a city. This is the first, and the second is to implore the emperor to immigrate the interior to the north and implement the military cantonment.

Long Zhi listed several advantages of the military cantonment, one is that it can gather a large number of people, and the war can be effectively supported together, and it is also a good way to replenish the supply of troops. These two things together cost 2oo billion taels of silver, and I implore the emperor to allocate it. As long as these two things are done, the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty can be guaranteed for 10,000 years. If this continues, once the Xiongnu are unfolded, the northern frontier will be in danger.

When the emperor saw it, he was worried, feeling that 2oo billion taels of silver was just too much. Although the treasury is now full, with nearly a trillion silver reserves, the emperor is still a little worried. One is afraid that the general guarding the frontier will become bigger, which will be a threat to the imperial court, and the other is worried that such a large-scale immigration of people will not arouse the disgust of the common people, which is not good for the imperial court. In fact, the emperor is not distressed about 2ooo taels of silver, as long as he is still not at ease with Long Zhi, as long as he knows that Long Zhi is loyal, it doesn't matter if it is 2ooo billion taels of silver.

The emperor couldn't make up his mind, so he gathered people from the three provinces and six departments to discuss this matter together. The emperor first asked Jin Shangyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Jin Aiqing, tell me, what is the request of Marshal Long Zhi of the Northern Xinjiang Town, and whether I agree or not?" Jin Shangyi is an old treacherous and cunning, at this time, he can't figure out what the emperor is thinking, so he naturally won't say it bluntly, Long Zhi is the emperor's concubine, and he is also half of the Yang family, if he says he doesn't agree, the emperor may be angry, if he says yes, in case the emperor suspects that Long Zhi has the intention of rebellion, he is not unhappy, therefore, Jin Shangyi played a slippery head.

Jin Shangyi: "Qi Huang, Marshal Long Zhi's recital I also read, the northern Xinjiang is indeed in crisis, the northern Xiongnu for decades, the heart of the Great Sui is not dead, and has always been eyeing the Great Sui, thanks to Long Xiao's outstanding martial arts and guarding the northern Xinjiang, so that the northern Xinjiang has a stable day; Now the stability of northern Xinjiang is the credit of Long Zhi's horse master, but the two requirements put forward by the horse master, I think it is worth considering, one is that there are too many silver requirements, and a city is at best 1.8o billion taels of silver, and the horse master actually said 2oo billion taels, I think it is a bit much; Another is the matter of Juntun, I think it is a good thing, that is, it is difficult to deal with the internal migration population, and it is difficult for people in the interior to say that they are willing to go to the north, and it is cold in the north, and it is difficult to say whether they are willing to go if they are in pain."

When the emperor heard this, he was confused, and said in his heart: You are always slippery, and you have been talking for a long time, do you want me to agree or disagree? Just say that there is a little more silver, does the court still care about 2o billion taels of silver, if you want to say 1.8o billion taels, it is better to give him 2oo billion taels, but it seems that the court is a little stingy. When the emperor saw that the secretary of the military department could not say a second and three, he asked Li Wannian, the secretary of the household department: "Li Aiqing, then tell me, what should I do?" ”。 Li Wannian, the secretary of the household department, saw that the secretary of the military department was playing a slippery head, he was a secretary of the household department, and he was a yamen in charge of money, and he still had the right to say about the amount of money, but it was inconvenient to intervene in the military.

Li Wannian, the head of the household: "Qi to play the emperor, I am the head of the household, I don't understand the military, as for the matter of the military tun that Long Zhi said about the horse, I think it is more appropriate for the emperor to ask the backer; However, since the emperor asked me, I will also talk about the matter of silver, I think Long Xiao Horse proposed to ask the court to allocate 2oo billion taels of silver, I personally think it is not much, now there are more than 9ooo billion taels of silver on the account of the household, only 2oo billion taels is not much, Long Xiao Horse proposed to build a military city, I personally still support, however, if the emperor thinks it is too much, you can allocate 1oo billion taels first, and then slowly allocate it, I think it will work."

The emperor was a little happy to hear it, the head of the household is still honest, although he did not say the decision, but he expressed his opinion on the allocation of silver, it seems that the head of the household department is much stronger than the military department, at least it is not a slippery head, the emperor is somewhat happy in his heart. The emperor was the secretary of the ministry Xu Qingkui: "Xu Aiqing, you are the secretary of the ministry, and you also express your own suggestions?" Xu Qingkui, the secretary of the ministry, saw that the bin department and the household department did not directly say whether they agreed or disagreed, and saw that the emperor was calm when he asked, so he knew that the emperor was also hesitating, and it was difficult for him to say.

Long Zhi is the marshal guarding the border pass, and he is also the concubine of the dynasty, if he offends Long Zhi, he will definitely not have good fruit to eat. But the emperor can't be offended, before he learned what the emperor thinks, he is still Mingzhe to protect himself, "Your Majesty, I think what Longxiao Ma Ye said is also reasonable, the Beihu Xiongnu is a little rampant, it is the Ma Ye who turned the tide, repelled the Huns several times, and made great achievements for the country, if you build a city to defend against the Huns, it is not impossible, but, I don't think it's necessary, now Longxiao Ma Ye's army doesn't have a place to live, since it has its own military camp, build a military city, Is it suspected of adding to the snake? However, having said that, since Long Xiao Ma Ye put it forward, he has his reason, I think it is better for the emperor to make a decision, if the emperor is willing, I think he will allocate more silver, if he is unwilling, he will allocate less silver, so that the hearts of the border soldiers will not be chilled, and the court can also save some silver."

The emperor laughed when he heard it, this Xu Qingkui is really an eight-sided hinge, he can say anything, he absolutely does not offend anyone, it seems that all the people in the three provinces and six departments are wise to protect themselves, the emperor thinks, it is better to ask the generalissimo of the world to support the prince, in the end, it is his own brother, not his mistake. The emperor summoned the backer prince into the Qinzheng Hall and asked: "The backer king, this is the performance of Marshal Longzhi from Northern Xinjiang, you can take a look first." The backer prince took a closer look at it, and slapped his thigh: "Your Majesty, great, Long Zhi is simply a genius, if you build a large city in Northern Xinjiang, it is equivalent to expanding the territory of the Great Sui, and it can also resist the Northern Hu Huns, I think this is a good idea." The emperor hesitated; "Backer King, do you think it's good, why?".

The king of the backer: "Your Majesty, you see, Long Zhi put forward two points, one is the military tun, this military tun can be self-sufficient, the war can be called together, and the peasants are farmers in their spare time, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone; Besides, to build a frontier military city, as long as the open area where the Northern Hu army is marched into a city wall, it can effectively block some attacks by the Xiongnu, I think it is good." Emperor: "King of the Mountain, have you considered it, if this happens, Long Zhi's strength will be expanded to several times, and it will be difficult to control it at that time." The king of the backer pondered for a while: "Well, it's going to be fine, Long Zhi's concubine, plus the family is in the mainland, and several brothers are champions, there is no problem with loyalty, as long as the emperor continues to increase his favor, I think as long as the number of regular troops who control Long Zhi is only 5o thousand, there is no danger, now is the era of peace, people are stable, no one dares to make trouble."

In the end, it was the king of the backers, as soon as he said it, the emperor was relieved. The king of the backer came up with another idea: "Your Majesty, now Long Zhi asks the court to allocate 2oo billion taels of silver, I don't see much, the emperor will allocate an extra 1oo00 million, as long as this person has money, he will not think nonsense, a person who likes silver will not rebel." The emperor was overjoyed, as long as Long Zhi did not rebel, it didn't matter if he allocated an extra 1oo00 million taels of silver. The household department has more than 9ooo more than 100 million taels of silver, and the royal family also has ten gold mines, gold and silver, as long as the subjects live and work in peace and contentment and do not rebel, there is still no problem with the silver of the imperial court.

Therefore, the emperor's edict allocated 3oo taels of silver to Longzhi, and at the same time asked the officials to find a way to give Longzhi 2oo people from the interior to build a frontier military city, which was named Beidu. As soon as Long Zhi saw that the emperor had approved it, he was overjoyed, and saw that another 2oo people had been allocated to build the northern capital, so he began to build a new city according to the shape of the new city he designed. Long Zhi has silver, and there are more than 1oo billion taels, Long Zhi has a way, as long as they are willing to reclaim farmland in northern Xinjiang, they will all join the reserves, they are considered quasi-soldiers, 1oo taels of silver, and 1o taels of silver will be rewarded for reclaiming an acre of land, and the grain will be purchased according to 5 copper plates, and agricultural tax will be exempted for 2o years.

As soon as this policy came out, many people in the interior were moved, and went to the north to reclaim farmland countless, and later, Long Zhi established a military and political yamen, and counted it, the number of people in the northern Xinjiang region to reclaim the desert military tun reached 2ooo thousand, if it was conscription, there were enough 1ooo people to use, Long Zhi was overjoyed.
