Li Dongsheng went directly to the Duhu Mansion and reported Lu Dongzan's purpose and thoughts to Qiao Shiwang, he knew that there were many people staring at him now, and in order to protect himself, he had to ask for more instructions and report more. Fortunately, Qiao Shiwang is not a strong leader, and he has also benefited a lot from Li Dongsheng, so he is also very tolerant of what he does.

"I know everything you said, and that Tubo minister also gave me a lot of gifts, so don't worry." Qiao Shiwang was in the pony, and he was embarrassed to come out to play in Chang'an City, otherwise where would the princess's face go. When he was thousands of miles away, he completely let go of himself, and he didn't come out of the Duhu Mansion every day, the key Western Regions is the place where the East and the West meet, and there are beauties of all kinds of styles, Li Dongsheng saw that his eyes were blue. I couldn't help but say with concern: "My lord, pay attention to your body!" ”

Qiao Shiwang was also a little embarrassed when Li Dongsheng said this: "Ahem, I've been a little playful lately... Suddenly I felt wrong, this guy was his subordinate, so much younger than him, how could he talk to him about this, and his face turned pale: "There is a trouble now, how do you think it can be solved?" ”

"Please make it clear!"

Seeing that Li Dongsheng respected himself very much no matter what the occasion, Qiao Shiwang was not coquettish: "You captured so many Turkic prisoners when you attacked Pu Changhai. When the chief waiter went back, he didn't take it with him, and now he has been locked up for so long, what should he do? ”

Qiao Shiwang didn't say anything, Li Dongsheng almost forgot about them, this group of Turkic prisoners originally asked Hou Junji to take them to Chang'an to sacrifice the prisoners, but he was in a hurry and waited for him to return to Chang'an before arranging for someone to escort him. Who knew that Hou Junji was impeached by the imperial history as soon as he returned to Chang'an, and then went down to the cell of Dali Temple, and these guys were ignored. After Qiao Shiwang came, he handed it over to him directly, and Li Dongsheng never asked again.

"What do you mean?" As a subordinate, the most important thing is to figure out the leader's mind, and he Qiao Shiwang is also a well-informed person, and it is impossible to say this matter so simply.

"I heard that you harvest cotton at a good price?" Qiao Shiwang suddenly changed the topic.

Hearing Xuange's meaning and knowing the meaning of elegance, Li Dongsheng immediately understood what he meant: "Lord Duhu, since those Turkic prisoners of war were imprisoned, they only eat and do not work, where is there such a good thing in the world, I suggest that they go to open up the wasteland, plant cotton, and then use that output to support themselves." ”

"You, you。。。。。" Qiao Shiwang pointed his finger at Li Dongsheng and laughed: "Yes, if you don't work, you can't eat, let these guys also taste the bitterness." ”

"Your Excellency, you're showing them a clear way. Anyway, the two of them have reached a consensus, and Li Dongsheng also said wittily: "This is called labor reform, through farming, let these Turks personally feel the hard work of my Tang people's farming, and then let them tell their labor experience." Maybe it will make these Turks think of their past crimes, and then repent and truly support our Datang. ”

"It's the same as the truth." Qiao Shiwang said: "Anyway, you can arrange the matter, if you are disobedient or want to escape, you will be killed directly." So many people can open a lot of land. ”

"It's okay, don't they Western Turks also arrange people to participate in rugby matches, and when the time comes, send a message, let them bring a ransom to receive people, and set the price a little higher, if they are too high, we will go to those captives and say, anyway, it is all kinds of brainwashing. Let them finish their work first. ”

When Li Dongsheng returned to the county, he saw Daniel Zhang running over excitedly and said, "Young Master, that thing you planted has sprouted." He knew how much his young master attached importance to this thing, and he came to see it several times a day, and made a fence with miscellaneous objects to protect them.

"Really? Let's check it out! Li Dongsheng didn't change his clothes, and went directly to the backyard. Seedlings appeared in the soil one after another, but because the weather was still a little cold, the leaves of the seedlings were also drooping, and they looked half-dead!

"Hahaha, it worked!" Li Dongsheng shouted excitedly: "Daniel Zhang hurry up and find a stove, wrap the fence around it with cloth to block the wind, as long as it is bigger, we can transplant it into the ground." ”

Seeing that the sweet potatoes were alive, Li Dongsheng smiled all day long, and even arranged things very neatly, directly pulled out those Turkic prisoners of war, gave them labor tools to work, and divided into six or seven places to open up wasteland in groups of three, anyway, now he only hates that the cotton production is not enough, and there is no too much.

Mu Zhonghai had already sent someone to send the news back, and the first batch of cotton cloth caused a sensation as soon as it appeared in Chang'an and was sold out. Such a large amount of cotton cloth is very rare, and after using Li Dongsheng's loom, the length and width are much larger than that of using a household loom, so you can save a lot of material when you buy it back to make clothes.

The following days were not alarming, and Li Dongsheng was also a person who was used to being a leader, and local officials were nothing more than developing the economy, pacifying the people, and educating the localities.

In terms of economy, not to mention the benefits brought by cotton, it is the felt factory that also makes Gaochang and the Western Regions full of vitality, and the horse teams and camel teams that transport wool every day are endless, and the business is booming. Li Dongsheng originally thought that he was going to increase Datang's domestic sales, but who knew that the goods would be sold out as soon as they came out every day. This is the Western Regions, the goods of the felt factory can be sold to food and other places, and there is less cost to get goods from Dingxiang, less than a thousand miles, how much will the cost be reduced?

In terms of appeasing the people, Li Dongsheng has stopped the Tang army from looting the city, and there is a rugby game to have fun with the people, Qiao Shiwang is also living in a simple place, and the people of Gaochang have also been recuperated.

Educating the place is Li Dongsheng's strength, and he sent the printed books from the Sanwei Book House and sold them to the people of Gaochang at a low price. Build a academy in the city, whether it is a Han or a Hu person, as long as you come to study, the tuition fee is not money, and the children with good grades will be rewarded. In general, the effect is good, and it is normal for hundreds of children to study here, but Li Dongsheng is reluctant to go to the academy, he thinks those children are too noisy.

As soon as he finished his busy day, when he picked up a cup of tea and was about to drink it, Yu Chi Baolin came over with a strange face and said, "Those people want to see you and say that they have something good to offer." ”。

"Speak clearly, who wants to see me?" Li Dongsheng was puzzled by his words.

"It's a few Hu people, the guys who fought at the door of the restaurant and were cleaned up by us. Didn't you let them learn Chinese, but after studying for more than half a year, they were finally able to communicate a few words. They say today that there is something important to dedicate to you. ”
