Chapter 440: Li Shimin's flickering skills

When he saw Li Shimin's kind smile, Zhang Le Qiujin regretted agreeing to Wang Hao and giving up the throne of Baiziguo to Shelong, with this powerful empire, such a good emperor supports him, why should he be afraid of the barbarians, he should have been on the table earlier, and asked the Tang Emperor to send a large army to beat them one by one.

However, when he heard that he was named the prince of Yunnan County, enjoyed 500 yuan of the moon, gave Chang'an a mansion in Sanjin, ten third-class citizen slaves, five maidservants, and settled in Chang'an, Zhang Leqiujin regretted it, but he did not say it after all.

He just saw the tip of the iceberg of Chang'an, ate a roadside stall in Chang'an, lived in Wangjianglou for a day, and fell in love with it completely.

Now, the emperor gave him a big mansion, a high salary of 500 yuan per month, and the noble status of the second rank of the county prince, so that he could eat and drink in such a beautiful and prosperous city every day, and have fun, why did he have to go to the deep mountains and old forests of Yunnan to endure hardship?

He even selectively forgot the meaning of the words 'Yunnan County'.

That's right, this is one of the results agreed upon by Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu yesterday, to re-establish Yunnan County, which was abolished in the first year of Wude, and put it under the jurisdiction of Jiannan Province. In addition, the title of King Baizi was revoked, and Shelong was named the chief of the Bai tribes, the assassin of Yunnan County, and the general of Yunnan Town.

Li Shimin put the position of the Tang Dynasty very correctly from the beginning, and now, it is the Bai nationality that can't suppress the other ethnic groups, begging the Tang Dynasty, then, these things that can make the court less politically troublesome in the future, of course, he wants to take the opportunity to settle down, although in fact, after Shelong went back, he was still the king of Yunnan, but this kind of demotion treatment is tantamount to strangling their independent minds in the cradle.

For this kind of nominal thing, Shelong, who doesn't know a few big characters, has already been instructed by Zhang Cheng, and it doesn't matter if everything is said by the imperial court.

Therefore, this morning the dynasty went very smoothly, Li Shimin only finally announced that starting tomorrow, within ten days, there is no need to go to the court, all the courtiers will accept the arrangements of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Households, to organize and help the people harvest summer grain, calculate taxes, at the same time, the land of Guanzhong, from this year to start the decision to exempt the poll tax, also announced today, from the beginning of this summer grain harvest, the tax collectors of the imperial court, only count the output of the acre, thirty taxes one.

Other dynasties raised taxes when they fought wars, but Zhenguan Dynasty fought wars, but it was a tax cut, Li Shimin deliberately delayed this news until now, just to let the people have a comparison in their hearts and know that he is good.

Now the best thing to know about him is Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong, their clothes have been stripped off, and several Han palace maids with bright skin have smeared them with a fragrant thing, rubbing the old mud all over their bodies, they have never felt that their skin is so comfortable and white.

Not only the hair and skin, but even the teeth in the mouth, the palace maid helped them clean with a brush, the kind of white paste-like thing, there is a very familiar smell of medicine after the entrance, it should be the herbs that they usually chew and apply to the wound when they are injured.

After washing, a group of palace maids actually helped them trim their beards and hair, and finally, after trying several sets of clothes of different sizes, they helped them choose the most suitable set to wear, and told them that this is their future dress, which is similar to the clothes of several officials standing in the front row above the court this morning.

Shelong's Yunnan County Thorn History, the general of the town guard, is second only to the general of the state highway is the official position of the third grade. Zhang Leqiu won the title of a county duke, and he was also a second-rank knighthood, but it was not the same level as the officials standing in the front row of the court.

However, Sheron not only has the civil and official uniform of the Thorn History, but also a set of military uniforms, so after trying on the civilian and official uniforms, he was taken to try on the military uniform, when he wore a green military uniform, wearing a golden wheat ear collar badge, and the golden badge that can only be worn on the chest of the Sixteenth Wei General appeared in front of the dressing mirror, Shelong was stunned for a long time and did not recognize himself.

Of course, at first he thought that there was a person standing behind the bronze frame, because he had never seen a mirror that could make people see the slightest, and when he was in Yunnan, he saw his own appearance when he was looking at the reflection in the water, and the reflection was actually very vague.

When the palace maid pointed to the person in the mirror and asked him if he was satisfied with this military uniform, he was shocked to realize that the person in the mirror turned out to be himself, and he had been playing in the mirror with his teeth open for a long time, and he was almost counting his nose hair.

In the end, he decided to wear this military uniform to see Li Shimin, and even wanted to make a request to Li Shimin, if he could give him a few more sets of such clothes, after he returned to Yunnan, he wanted to wear them every day.

Zhang Leqiujin, who has similar experience to him, waited for a long time in the dress hall before Shelong came out, at this moment, he is very rich in psychological activities, and he is very glad that he can stay in Chang'an in the future.

According to the palace maid, there are no such treasures in the house given to him by the emperor, in fact, there are not many such treasures in the imperial city, only this side hall specially for ministers to sort out ceremonial costumes has a few sides, and there may be some in the harem, but it is for the ladies, and they are all very precious.

When they were brought to the wine table with more than a dozen dishes arranged, Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong's brains were almost stagnant, and many of the dishes on the table were something they had never seen, even if they had eaten two of the best meals they had ever eaten in their lives in Wangjiang Tower in the past two days, they had gained a lot of knowledge, but their eyes couldn't help but look at those foods.

"There is Lao Zhuqing waiting for you."

Li Shimin, who changed into a light clothes, walked into the side hall of the banquet, at this time, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Sun Xiangfu, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who came before Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong, all got up to greet each other, Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong did not understand the etiquette of the Han people, but they also got up, followed their example, and arched their hands towards the emperor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down, above the banquet, don't be restrained."

Li Shimin naturally said this to Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong, Fang Xuanling and Sun Xiangfu, who were in charge of accompanying the wine, have eaten with Li Shimin more times recently than with his wife.

However, when Li Shimin sat down in front of his case, he immediately frowned and said to Wang Deyong, "On a hot day, why don't you have some chilled sweets, they are all my guests." ”

"Slaves and maids should die, so let's do it."

In fact, Sun Xiangfu wanted to tell Li Shimin that eating too much iced food is not good for his health, but it is obvious that Li Shimin is not entangled in the problem of food, but wants to pretend to be forced in front of Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong, and tell them that we have everything in Datang, even in the hot summer, the ice cannot be eaten, and through this small action, give Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong some face.

As the overlord of the wine field, Li Shimin did all the actions of buying people's hearts very skillfully, so soon, Zhang Le Qiujin and Shelong drank red and red-faced, and they were five or six points drunk, and after a few beautiful cream and fruit ice creams were served, Li Shimin took advantage of the time when they were eating desserts and were in the happiest mood, and talked to them about business.

"Zhang Qing, I heard that your Zhang clan has a lot of people in Yunnan, I gave you a mansion, you can bring them to Chang'an, taste our food here, visit the scenery here, and live comfortably, you can stay in Chang'an and settle down, there is a ······ for everything here."

The language family of Yunnan Zhubu is similar to that of Sichuan dialect, and the similarity between Guanzhong dialect and Sichuan dialect is also extremely high, so Li Shimin communicated directly with them, basically there was no obstacle, and after half an hour, the only thing Zhang Le Qiujin thought about was to move all his clansmen to Chang'an to live a good life.

Li Shimin was able to achieve some of his political goals through these small means, and now that there is such a big shortage of labor in Guanzhong, it would be good to move more.

After flickering Zhang Le to seek advancement, and then naturally it was Shelong, to deal with him, Li Shimin's routine was simpler, and said, "Shelong, as soon as you wear this military uniform, you really have the appearance of a general, I hope that after you return to Yunnan, you will work hard to lead your people to live a more prosperous life, if there is any difficulty, let people send a letter to me, or you can find Xiao Gong nearby for help, the entire Tang Dynasty is your strong backing, and no one can stop you Bai people from living a good life······"

No matter what he actually did, these words were the warmth of Shelong's whole body when he listened, and then, Shelong did not hesitate to agree to Li Shimin's mineral development and various trade projects, and he firmly believed that this was one thing that could make the Bai people under his leadership live a happier life.

Then, Fang Xuanling and Sun Xiangfu also explained to Shelong in a timely manner how to make the Bai people's economic development through business, and Li Jing told him how to improve the Bai people's military combat effectiveness through some small means, etc., in short, let Shelong feel that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are very good, and they are dedicated to their Bai people's sake.

In the end, Li Shimin asked them to follow him to the fields in Guanzhong tomorrow to see the scene of the people's harvest, and not to rush back, because they were just in time for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goguryeo, and they could watch the military parade and swearing-in ceremony before setting off.

After sending the two people who were seven or eight points drunk out of the palace, Sun Xiangfu also returned home early, starting tomorrow, it is to witness the extreme yield of high-quality wheat in this era, and the three-year three-nursery system is the maximum optimization and improvement of seeds that he can achieve at present, and the care of the field is also implemented under his full monitoring.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the fields planted by the people to exceed the yield of his experimental field, just like the Champa rice he planted in Lingnan, so far, there is no yield per mu that can exceed the season he planted himself.
