Gao Gonggong returned to the East Palace, Li Shimin had not yet fallen asleep, although he said to the eldest grandson Wuji that the music book would be read tomorrow, but according to his personality, how to sleep without reading the music book, so he was still fighting at night, and when Gao Gonggong came in, it was already the last one.

Gao Gonggong didn't dare to disturb, and waited patiently for Li Shimin to finish reading. Li Shimin also noticed that he was beside him, but he only thought that he was talking back and forth, so he was not in a hurry, because according to usual, there are usually no good words to say when he returns, even if he sends it to Jinshan Yinshan, he will be extremely harsh in exchange.

Li Shimin picked up the red pen and drew a circle on the last notebook, then put it aside, looked at Gonggong Gao, and was about to speak, but saw his face full of joy, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "What did my father say?" Speak quickly and know. ”

Gao Gonggong bowed to the ground and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is happy after drinking, and the palace people take the halberd, play the music and dance of the King of Qin, a dance, laugh, call the old slave to the palace, let the old slave bring a message to Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang said: 'You go and pass the word to Li Er, if he can capture Jieli and let him dance for me in public, I will forgive him all his mistakes, drink this wine with him, and get drunk!" 'The old slave brought the original words, congratulations to Your Majesty. ”

"Father's ......" Li Shimin was tearful and inexplicably excited. Li Yuan's words were like a test question in front of him, and if he could complete it, he could be affirmed. This made Li Shimin, who had always suffered from the throne's 'wrong way', finally see the dawn of hope. If Li Yuanken recognized him, then later historians might have a different evaluation when they talked about the events of that year.

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly, cheering himself up in his heart, no matter what the price is, this matter must be completed. Judging from the current war situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the Tang Dynasty will destroy the Turks, but it is not easy to do it. As soon as the sword on the battlefield was eyeless, and the first-class arrow shot Jieli to death, who would dance for Li Yuan? Moreover, the king has his own dignity, if Jieli sees that the general trend has gone, he simply wipes his neck, and things can't be done.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly asked Gao Gonggong to study ink, wrote hard, and wrote two wills in a row, which were sent to Li Jing and Li Ji, the two generals, respectively, and explained the reasons, and ordered them to capture Jieli alive no matter what. Gonggong Gao dried the ink, folded the paper, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang still has something to order." ”

"Say!"

"Uh...... The emperor said that the wine is good, and he needs a few jars. ”

"Wine?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and wrote another letter, handed it to Gonggong Gao, and said: "This letter will be sent to Dingxiang quickly, the Emperor Taishang, you will ...... Tomorrow I'll explain it myself. ”

"No." Gao Gonggong withdrew with three letters, and Li Shimin was in a state of anxiety, and he tossed and turned for a long time before he barely fell asleep.

Chang'an is thousands of miles away from the Western Regions, and it takes three or four days for letters to come and go, even if they are eight hundred miles away, and when Li Shimin's will has not yet arrived, Dingxiang City has been lively.

According to Li Shimin's last will, Dingxiangcheng began to accept displaced people. The so-called displaced people can be roughly divided into two types. One is the Tang people who were displaced by the war, and the other is the Hu people and Turkic people who were originally nomadic and now want to settle down. Needless to say, the former had lost their homes due to the war, and after the war was over, the imperial court naturally had to settle down. The latter is a political consideration for the long term. Because these border Yidi are nomadic people, these people do not live in cities, do not cultivate food, and live a good life in the years of abundant water and grass, but once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they do not have enough resistance, and they will not be able to live a good life. They couldn't live anymore, so they had to turn into bandits and loot the Central Plains. If you can take advantage of their inability to plunder after the great war, and take advantage of their inability to plunder, and take them to live in the city, over time, they will also learn various life skills like the Tang people, which is assimilation. The foundation for the Chinese nation to stand tall for thousands of years, no matter what kind of hardships it has experienced, and to rise again lies in this assimilation.

This is all something that the ruler thinks, for Li Siwen, he is just completing the order, and at the same time, he also needs people to work, and he wishes that the more displaced people there are, the better. These homeless people are very obedient, and when they come to Dingxiang City, they have no food and clothing, they all cry and shout and beg to find work, and even many people only ask for a bite to eat, so they work from dawn to dark. Thanks to these people, the speed of construction of the city wall is getting faster and faster, and in another three or five days, it will be able to restore the way it was before the war.

For the past three days, the wounded soldiers and prisoners in the city have departed, and the vacant houses have been inhabited by the homeless. Originally, according to Li Siwen's idea, he wanted the Tang people to live in Dongfang and the Hu people to live in Xifang, so that the two sides would not interfere with each other and reduce the occurrence of conflicts. But Li Mu felt that if the division was so clear, as the days went by, the residents of the east and west sides would have the risk of opposing each other, which was a very big hidden danger in the border city, so at his insistence, he still adopted a mixed way of living, and on one street, the proportion of Tang and Hu people was about the same. Because it was still difficult for people to make ends meet at this time, and they did not have much energy to have conflicts, they were safe and sound for a few days.

Bai Lao'er has also moved over, and brought his three guys who are easy to use, he thought that when he came to Dingxiang, he could open a pot of soju to trade. But he didn't expect Li Mu to suddenly cooperate with Li Siwen, and Li Mu also invented a new wine, which made the brewing technology he had hoped for completely useless, and he was depressed for several days. It's not that he didn't want to learn it secretly, but when Li Mu was making wine, there were always a few people at the door, and he couldn't get close at all. It's not that he didn't want to break up, but he was reluctant, this is a business in partnership with the General's Mansion, and he also tasted the wine brewed by Li Mu, and the profits in it, of course he knows it as a person who has been brewing wine for decades. After careful consideration, he still endured it, it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and he did it alone, at most, it was the same as when he was in Ma Yi again, it was not interesting.

But the matter hangs in the balance, and his heart can't let go. On this day, Bai Hao'er finally couldn't help it, discussed it with her mother-in-law, and decided to go to Li Mu at night to find out his style. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Bai Hao'er got down from the kang, came to the door, pulled the bolt of the door, and there stood a tall thin old man with a goatee outside the door, looking at his luxurious clothes, not like an ordinary person. Bai Hao'er looked at it, and his tone became more respectful, and he hugged his fists and saluted, "Dare to ask this master, ...... Why? ”

"Are you a white shopkeeper? A white shopkeeper who runs a liquor store? ”

"Ah, exactly."

The old man outside the door smiled and said, "I came from afar, I have something to discuss, I don't know if I can enter to discuss it in detail?" ”

Seeing that he was the only one outside the door, Bai Hao'er hesitated for a moment, then dodged out of the way and let him in.
