Tuli put the old and weak, women and children, and the cattle and sheep on which they depended to survive, in the Ulanqab area, which was less than 500 miles away from Shanyang, and now, these more than 30,000 people and nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep have become the spoils of war bought by Xi Jun.

"The Turks' mare's milk wine is too weak to drink, but the cattle and sheep are fattening, and they drove back ten thousand heads for the brothers."

Xi Junmai originally thought that he would be able to fight happily when he was in Dutuli's nest, but after he went, he realized that there was no chance for him to wield a knife at all, but it was Ma Yi's side that fought fiercely, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed that he missed this battle.

"Tuli is also a force, don't you have a little money?"

Maybe it's the reason why he is in charge, now Sun Xiangfu's thoughts will rely on money from time to time, he really has no money, even the bean sauce workshop and Wangjianglou's hundreds of thousands of dividends this year have all been spent, you know, as the largest owner of Shanyang City, he has invested in more than 100 large and small projects in this year, and he has raised 100,000 people every day, which is the advantage that coal materials are inexhaustible in this place, and the raw materials for infrastructure projects such as bricks and tiles do not need much cost, otherwise, build an equal big city. Without millions of dollars, it is simply impossible.

"Isn't this here to ask you, Tuli was escorted to Chang'an by General Li Jing, can his family still be moved? What if Tuli tells His Majesty the number, but the number we pay is not right? Xi Junmai looked left and right, and saw that there were only the two of them in the hall, so he said.

"Old Tang, come on, call Old Tang to come."

Sun Xiangfu shouted outside the door, and heard the sound of the clash of the guards' iron armor, he should have run to find Tang Fengyi, this guy has not stopped since he came to Shanyang, and after a while, this workshop will go around, and he will be digging things for his new home, ready to welcome his family!

"For professional things, you should ask professional talents, give me a thorough understanding first, how many things are there?" After shouting the guards, Sun Xiangfu turned his head again and looked at Xi Jun with a sly look.

"Well, I haven't counted much, there should be more than a dozen carts of gold and silver! Copper coins and silk or something, should be able to pull a hundred carts, the most leather goods, piled up several large tents, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands. ”

"So crudely counted?" Sun Xiangfu frowned when he heard this, but then smiled again, "It's good to be rough, it's good to be rough!" In this way, the old Tang will be easy to operate, I have to send an urgent letter to Chang'an, Your Majesty is dealing with sudden matters, don't be soft, these things are of great use to our good yang and Guanzhong. ”

Now, Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin are in a state of poverty and madness, and they can't spit out the things they get in their hands, so after Li Jing escorted Tuli to Chang'an, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling and others have been silent about Tuli's disposal, and what they are waiting for is Sun Xiangfu's urgent report.

Throughout the ages, after surrendering, the overlord of the side who did not get a good end because of his money, Tuli is considered one.

After Sun Xiangfu's urgent report arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin directly demoted the title of Duke of the State that was originally intended to be given to Tuli to a county duke, or the county duke of Weinan who had the smallpox plague, and gave a mansion in Chang'an City with dozens of servants, which was a matter of fact, and did not give him a chance to leave Chang'an at all, let alone any return of property. If there is no accident, Tuli will be in Chang'an with the county prince's money and wait for death.

However, the focus of the court now is not at all on how to deal with Tuli, but on the invitation brought back by Li Jing's army, Sun Xiangfu will hold a grand investment promotion conference in Shanyang New Town on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and invite the imperial court's supervision of the imperial history to attend the meeting, and also to supervise whether he, the local chief official, has bent the law for personal gain and is suspected of doing business for profit.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a local official who has never taken the initiative to ask the local officials to supervise the imperial history to perform their duties in the local area.

Li Jing handed over this invitation to the imperial court, which is the best publicity for Sun Xiangfu's so-called investment promotion conference, powerful families and businessmen from all over the country, who has nothing to do with the court, so although I don't know what this investment promotion conference is all about, everyone is ready to take a look.

"Your Majesty, the old minister invites himself to go to Shanyang."

It was none other than the head of the imperial history of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng.

He didn't know that his words were like heaven to Li Shimin, and recently Li Shimin's hair was about to stand on end, for the sale of cowpox, he originally wanted to impeach Sun Xiangfu, but who knows, after some investigation, he found that all the money from the sale of cowpox was returned to the inner palace by Li Shimin, how can the emperor be so greedy for benefits!

But he didn't calculate, how much money does Li Shimin have to spend every day to maintain such a big situation in Guanzhong, this is the eating, drinking and production work of millions of people, as the emperor, he can't use all the bets to bet that the grain from Lingnan and Huainan can be transported to Chang'an smoothly, what if there is an accident? Can millions of people go hungry for days without eating?

Therefore, Li Shimin agrees with Sun Xiangfu's advice to him, get more money and reserve more food as a backhand, and now the most difficult moment has not yet come!

Now, the poor Li Shimin finally has a chance to give this ball to another poor sour grandson Xiangfu, of course he raised his hands and feet in favor, yes, almost without waiting for other ministers to come out to express his position, Li Shimin directly agreed.

However, Wei Zheng's final travel team may be a bit large, and those small families may not know what this 'investment promotion' will be, but Cui Zheng and Wang Lu's family know, and in order to increase their family's voice in this meeting, they all elected their own officials to accompany them.

For this kind of person who doesn't do practical things and loves to open his mouth, Li Shimin feels that the world is much cleaner than one less, so he naturally agrees with them all, and now he hopes that Sun Xiangfu can divert the attention of these guys, and he can do a good job of disaster relief in Guanzhong.

After this matter was finalized, today's court meeting was over, but Li Jing was called to the imperial study by Li Shimin again.

"How are the Hu merchants preparing?" Li Shimin withdrew all the attendants and asked Li Jing in a low voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, they have no objection to Weichen taking them on a detour to Shuozhou, and the new commodity that Sun Zhengming has made has been shown to them privately in the past few days, which is very attractive to them." Li Jing, who was slightly excited, replied.

To say, Li Shimin's question is actually very ordinary, how can it make the generation of military gods who often remain calm and calm excited! Of course, there is a following.

That's because Sun Zhengming put forward a very bold idea after chatting with Li Jingshen under the city of Mayi.

Li Jing said to Sun Xiangfu that the land of Shuozhou was extremely critical, and if Hui and Xue Yantuo had different intentions for the Tang Dynasty, Shuozhou would not be a bridgehead, and they would not dare to march to the Central Plains.

If the imperial court conquest Jieli, starting from Shuozhou, it is not only close, but also can play a surprise role, because this army can go all the way through the grassland and desert, kill behind Jieli, and raid him.

Then, Sun Xiangfu's brain was activated, fighting Jieli, using surprise battles, and directly capturing the thief was the most labor-saving way, no one would have thought that when Datang was suffering a catastrophe, he would take the initiative to attack the powerful Jieli.

However, through the intelligence system, Sun Xiangfu knew that Jieli and Tuli had the shadow of Wang Lin's family in separating the winners and losers, that is to say, these family members are now related to Jieli, so if you want to launch a surprise attack on Jieli, even the people inside Datang have to hide it, which is very difficult.

However, with a direction, you will always think of a way, and in the end, Sun Xiangfu thought of a way, when Li Jing's expeditionary force came to Shuozhou, it was 5,000 people, and when he took Tuli and some Turkic prisoners back to Chang'an, it was 3,000 people in Mayi City wearing military uniforms and 1,000 soldiers of the Shuozhou Unity Battalion, and the real expeditionary force has always been in the Shuozhou Unity Battalion barracks in Mayi.

Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu took out some perfume and gave it to Li Jing, asking him to recommend this unique commodity of Shuozhou to the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and lead them to Shuozhou by a detour, which not only allowed them to participate in Shuozhou's commodity exhibition and buy the goods produced by Shuozhou this year, but also allowed Li Jing to come to Shuozhou with the most elite thousands of flying cavalry troops in Chang'an.

With nearly 10,000 of the most elite cavalry in hand, this is several times stronger than when Li Jing raided Jieli in history, after all, no matter from the degree of well-equipped equipment to the number of people, there has been a multiplier increase, and the probability of success will be very high.

Li Shimin naturally agrees with the plan of these two people, and from a strategic point of view, Li Jing and Sun Xiangfu plan this plan is very feasible, but he is a little worried about the problem of grain and grass.

Seeing Li Shimin's sad face, Li Jing spoke again, "Your Majesty, Sun Zhengming said that the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again, in the spring, Wang Xu gave him 700,000 stone grain in order to get the spice seeds in his hand, and now although more than half of it is consumed, the rest is enough for the army to go on the expedition, and this year's harvest in Shuozhou, there is a lot of surplus in the grain produced in the fields, and other armies have needs, and Shuozhou can help bear a lot." ”

"I'm worried that if I can't fight in the first battle, my Datang can't afford this protracted war."

Sun Xiangfu swore frankly in the letter that although there was not much grain planted in Shuozhou this year, in addition to feeding the local residents, it was enough to ensure that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were fed, even if more than 10,000 cavalry from Li Jing were fed all year round, there would be no problem with Shuozhou's next output, because this year's wheat in Shuozhou was planted under his personal guidance, and the yield per mu was more than four stones.

"Sun Zhengming also said, please don't forget that His Majesty has the means to raise seedlings in advance, which can make Guanzhong's crops mature next year at least two months in advance, so the people of Guanzhong don't actually need to last until next year's autumn harvest, at most until May and June, there will be food output in the fields."

Li Jing's words suddenly reminded Li Shimin of the first time Sun Xiangfu told him about breeding and seedlings, and he didn't expect that this kind of ability could solve big problems at such a critical time, and the crops matured more than two months in advance, which meant that when the imperial court was preparing grain and grass, it could reduce the burden of millions of stones, so Li Shimin did not hesitate anymore.

"Pharmacist, I will hand over all the most important forces in my hands to you, hoping that you can succeed in one battle and clear the Turkic border troubles for the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin took out a troop transfer tiger talisman from his cuff and handed it to Li Jingdao.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust."

After receiving the tiger talisman with Li Shimin's body temperature, Li Jing suddenly felt that the most important moment in his life was coming, and at this moment, there were three words in his mind, destroy the Turks.
