Li An plans to build the statue of Zhu Lingqian in Nanning Prefecture, in addition to respecting this pioneer, but also to let the Tang people who later enter the land to remember that the ancestors paid the price of their lives in order to develop the land, and as a descendant, they should work hard to make the land a part of the Tang Dynasty forever. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this statue is also to tell the white barbarian people of the land that the Tang Dynasty has paid a huge price to bring prosperity to the land, and in the future, when they live a prosperous life, they will also be grateful for everything the pioneers of the Tang Dynasty have done.

In this way, the statue of Zhu Lingqian will become a symbol of the formal integration of the Tang Dynasty and the planing land, and will always be remembered by the Tang people and the white barbarian people in the planing land, so that they can remember the time when the planing land entered the arms of the Tang Dynasty.

The gold mine in the east valley of Hulu Valley, the output is increasing step by step, and the proven gold reserves are extremely amazing, and they are constantly increasing, which makes Tong Sanfat, who is responsible for mining gold, very surprised, according to the previous agreement, he will share 30% of the net profit, so that as long as he keeps mining, he will make a fortune.

Of course, with Tong San's fat IQ, he must not have imagined that he himself has become a fat pig to be raised, and if the court is not short of money in the future, it is better to say, in case the court is short of money, just find a reason to raid his home, you can get a huge gold reserve, and his life will be lost.

Of course, Li An will not tell Tong Sanpang about this possibility, lest Tong Sanpang be passive and slack off and not be good at mining gold, and the development of the land has a great demand for funds, which requires Tong Sanpang and the miners under his command to work day and night to provide enough financial support for the land.

The time for the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and the situation in the land and gourd valley has all settled down, so naturally there is no need for Li An to continue to stay here.

Li An had already thought about it, and after resting in Hulu Valley for a few days, he left Hulu Valley with his six hundred dragon martial troops and went to Yizhou for a walk, and by the way, he met Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and asked him to support him.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li An sent two soldiers of the Pingnan Army, the first of which was 200 soldiers of the Pingnan Army, to escort ten boxes of gold and thirty boxes of copper coins to Nanning Prefecture, preparing to provide financial support to Nanning Prefecture, which was poor and white. The second team of 100 people escorted the bandit leaders, including the invincible plan, and the injured and useless bandits to Luzhou City, and handed over these evil guys to the people of Luzhou City for disposal.

After arranging these, Li An began to prepare for the evacuation of Hulu Valley, the six hundred Longwu soldiers are all northerners, and they must all withdraw to the capital, and before leaving, they naturally have to take some things with them, so they can't return to the capital empty-handed!

The most useful things in the Gourd Valley are nothing more than weapons and gold, and there is nothing else, and it is these two things that the Long Wu Army wants to take away when they leave the Gourd Valley.

In the name of the Longwu Army's meritorious service in guarding the Hulu Valley and training the Pingnan Army, Li An rewarded the gold produced in the mine to the hands of each soldier, and each soldier was given at least one gold, and it was not surprising that those who performed well were given ten collars of gold, and in order to strengthen their own combat power, the soldiers selected some of the best weapons from the reserve arsenal, the Zhuge crossbow and the eight-inch crossbow were the favorite weapons of the Longwu Army, in addition, there were scimitars and daggers that had been improved by blacksmiths.

Regarding the requirements of the soldiers, Li An has already expressed his position, and asked the soldiers of the Longwu Army to take it, and bring whatever weapons they like, anyway, there are so many coolies in Hulu Valley, and the weapons produced are already very large, and they can continue to produce when they run out, so don't be afraid.

The people who were escorted to Luzhou City were beaten by the people in the city with vegetable leaves and eggs, and they were as depressed as a lost wild dog, and they were miserable, and they no longer had the arrogance and arrogance of the past.

Being humiliated by the people is just the beginning, and then they have to accept cruel punishments, and treat these white barbarian bandits who have killed people for many years, and the officials and people of Luzhou City will not be merciful, and they will never cut off their heads so cheaply.

Of course, Li An is about to leave Luzhou, and he doesn't care too much about these things, and he can exterminate the bandits in Luzhou and control the land of Xijiao, Li An is already very satisfied, this achievement is enough to mark the annals of history and make future generations admire.

Three days later, Li An led 600 Longwu soldiers to leave Hulu Valley and march along the road that was not easy to follow, towards Yizhou City, which was thousands of miles away.

Yizhou City is the largest city in the entire southwest of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the largest commercial center in the southwest, and the prosperity of the land in the future is naturally inseparable from the big market of Yizhou, especially the unique local products of the land, which can be sold at a good price when transported to Yizhou, and many of the specialties and handicraft products of Yizhou can also be sold to the land, so as to promote the prosperity of the entire southwest of the Tang Dynasty, form a stable and prosperous rear for the Tang Dynasty, and become a strong backing for the Tang Empire's foreign strategy.

Li An led 600 dragon warrior troops, and it took only five or six days to arrive at Yizhou City and stationed in the city.

Hearing that Li An had arrived in Yizhou City, Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong immediately launched an invitation letter asking Li An to meet him.

Li An naturally did not refuse, and went straight to Zhang Qiu's mansion with a few guards.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong's mansion, Li An has visited many times, and he has long known the location and internal structure of the mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it by heart.

"General Li, you have made a great contribution to Datang again, congratulations, congratulations, hahaha!"

Zhang Qiu and Qiong chose to greet Li An in person and walked all the way to the gate.

Li An hurriedly humbled himself, and walked into the mansion with Zhang Qiu and Qiong.

"General Li is really clever! First of all, he trained in Luzhou, ignored the chaos of the planing land, let the forces of all parties fight with each other, and gradually increased his own strength secretly, and when the wealthy people in the planing land suffered heavy casualties, they suddenly killed out, snatched the fruits of victory, and forced Nanzhao to withdraw from the planing land, this trick is really clever, my Datang has achieved the entire Xijiao without any loss, this credit is enough to shine in the annals of history, haha! ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong are full of praise for Ang Lee, and sincerely admire Ang Lee.

Li An grinned and said seriously: "The festival commander has won the award, but it is easy to fight the world and difficult to defend the world, and now the land of Xijiao has belonged to Datang, but if it cannot be well integrated into Datang, Datang will still lose this land sooner or later, so it will be in vain." ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong nodded seriously, frowned and said: "The imperial court has issued an order to include Xijiao in my Jiannan Dao, in the future, Xijiao will be under the jurisdiction of this official, if the land cannot be integrated into the Tang Dynasty, it will be the crime of this official, if General Li has any good ideas, you might as well say them all." ”’

Li An was not polite, and straightforwardly made a careful report to Zhang Qiu and Qiong about his plan for large-scale development of the land, involving many detailed questions, Zhang Qiu and Qiong would ask, and Li An explained carefully, and told Zhang Qiu that the plan had begun to be implemented according to his requirements, and asked Zhang Qiu to forgive him for failing to inform him in advance.

After listening to Ang Lee's long-term plan, Zhang Qiu and Qiong felt greatly excited, and supported Ang Lee's plan very much, of course, he would not blame Ang Lee for his own assertions.

"If General Li's plan can be carried out smoothly, the entire southwest of Datang will be connected in the future, and it will be good to build roads! There is no road not only the merchants can not pass, once there is something somewhere, my Tang soldiers and horses can not arrive in time, especially the road of my Jiannan Road is the most difficult, in the future, not only the west will have to build the road, all the cities of Jiannan Road must be connected with good roads, so that the carriage can pass is the minimum requirement. ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong looked forward to it.

As a magistrate, there is no one who does not want to develop the place, and the clean officials who have made a difference are like this, even if they are corrupt officials, because only when the place develops and prospers can there be oil and water to be fished! In poor and remote places, the people are poor, and it is impossible to go to corruption.

Li An was very happy to be fully recognized by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, which showed that the huge plan he specified could be carried out without resistance.

In order to let Zhang Qiu and Qiong better understand his development plan, Li An deliberately took out a map and explained his plan in a comprehensive and detailed manner, not letting go of any detail, and all the opinions and questions raised by Zhang Qiu and Qiong could be explained seriously, so that Zhang Qiu and Qiong could understand.

However, Li An also discovered that Zhang Qiu and Qiong's vision of the problem could not always focus on the land of the west, he looked at the overall situation of the entire Jiannan Dao.

Whenever Li An explained the importance of building roads for the planing of the land, Zhang Qiu and Qiong would always interject, pointing out that there were many bad road sections in Yizhou, Luzhou and other counties in Jiannan Province, which needed to be repaired and expanded.

And when Li An said that Xijiao has several very important specialties that need to be supported, Zhang Qiu and Qiong always proposed that there are also specialties in other parts of Jiannan Province, which also need to be encouraged and supported, so as to promote economic development.

In other words, Li An explained how to develop the land of Xijiao, but Zhang Qiu and Qiong always considered how the entire Jiannan Dao should develop.

It's no wonder, after all, Zhang Qiu and Qiong are the envoys of Jiannan Dao, and the development of the entire Jiannan Dao is his responsibility, and he will not only consider the land of the West in order to obey Li An's wishes, which is determined by his position.

If Li Longji hears Ang Lee's analysis, he may consider how the entire Tang Dynasty should develop, people are in different positions, and the angle of looking at the problem will be different, and the scenery seen by people at the foot of the mountain is completely different from that seen by people standing on the top of the mountain.

However, Li An felt that it was a good thing that Zhang Qiu and Qiong could consider the overall situation, and that Xijiao could not prosper quickly if it developed alone, and only when the transportation of the entire Jiannan Province was improved, and even the roads leading to the capital and Jiangnan were improved, the speed of prosperity could be rapidly accelerated.

Of course, this is not a problem that Zhang Qiu and Qiong can solve personally, especially the road from Jiannan Road to the capital, under the barrier of the Qinling Mountains, has become rugged and difficult, and the funds required to repair it are very large, even if it is the Tang Dynasty, it must first weigh whether the treasury has so many funds.

It was a happy thing for Li Ang to be able to get the support of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and after talking in detail for a few hours, Li Ang returned to his residence and slept comfortably.

Approaching the end of the year, the climate is getting colder and colder, Li An stayed in Yizhou for three days, and would go to Zhang Qiu and Qiong's mansion on time every day, and talk about Xijiao, it should be said that it is the development of the entire Jiannan Province.

Three days later, Li An was idle and bored, and in the company of several personal soldiers, he wandered around the city of Yizhou.

'The East Girl is shopping for goods on a large scale? Are there any activities? ’

Li An suddenly found that a group of dozens of Dongnu people were buying items on the busiest street in Yizhou City.

"You, go over and ask, ask them what they are buying so many things for?"

Ang Lee asked one of his soldiers to go and inquire.

The soldiers asked for a while, strode back, and reported: "General, King Guichang of the Dongnu Kingdom gave birth to a daughter half a month ago, and the people of the Special Palace went to Yizhou to purchase goods to celebrate the birth of his daughter. ”

Li An was stunned when he heard this, and immediately stretched out his hands and counted it, the last time he was with Zhao Yufu in Dongnu Country, more than ten months have passed so far, could it be that this little baby is his own child?

Thinking that this little doll might be his own child, Li Anxin couldn't suppress his excitement, his child must be very beautiful, just like her mother, but will it be like his father?

After looking forward to it for a long time, Li An felt that before returning to the capital, he had to go to Dongnu Kingdom, and he had to see Zhao Yufu and this little doll, otherwise, how could Li An be at ease.

After returning to his residence, Li An immediately told Kunxiong and Feiyu the news, and told them that he had to go to Dongnu Country, and if he couldn't return in time, Long Wujun didn't have to wait, and returned to the capital directly by road.

"Big brother, the road is dangerous, bring more guards! Take a few of our brothers with you. ”

Li An nodded and said, "Kunxiong, Feiyu, you just need to select twenty soldiers to go with me, and the others will be handed over to Shouyu, Guangsheng, and Erniu." ”

"Yes, big brother."

Li An thought for a while, and then said: "Big brother can't go empty-handed, go, you accompany me to buy some things on the street." ”

"Big brother, is it a toy for the little doll?"

"Big brother, what toys should the girl buy?"

Kunxiong and Fei Yu were happy, but they didn't know what to buy.

Of course, Ang Lee himself doesn't know what to buy, leather dolls and other toys of later generations may not be sold in this era, and he can't be sure what the girl likes.

However, there are more vendors selling goods on the streets, and they may know a little bit about it, and as long as they go out on the street, they will naturally know what to buy.

Li An took Kunxiong, Feiyu and others to the most prosperous streets, and asked the vendor what to give to the little girl, and listened to the hawker's instructions and bought many expensive items.

Li An took a lot of gold when he left from the gourd valley, but he was not short of money. (To be continued.) )
