Chapter 31: Welcome Home
After three days of detailed talks between the Ministry of Rites and the Tibetan envoys, 2,000 Tang people trapped in Tibet were finally exchanged for the Tibetan soldiers in Pei Min's hands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pei Min got such news in Taozhou and nodded with satisfaction.
When learning about the situation of Hexi Jiuqu with Feng Changqing, it was inevitable to talk about his slave life.
Most of the herdsmen in Tibet were prisoners of war, and the lowest existence was not even as good as the livestock in the livestock pens.
Feng Changqing also said at the time that a herdsman lost a sheep while grazing and was directly beaten to death by Tubo.
Pei Min, who heard this, immediately said to Feng Changqing: "If one day, I can kill the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and capture the Tibetan royal family!" I'm not going to kill any of them, I'm going to keep them all in their pens and keep them as pigs!" ”
Pei Min asked himself if he couldn't save the people of the world, but within his ability, he could save one by one.
Dealing with the Tibetan captives by tragic means, on the one hand, was out of evil spirit, and on the other hand, it was also to force the Tubo to compromise for the sake of face and save some of the Tang people trapped in Tibet.
Now that the goal has been achieved, those cripples are no different from keeping them, giving Feng Changqing a message that he is ready to release people, and at the same time arranging for Changshi Gu Xin to be ready to accept the people.
In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, March 20th is the first!
Two thousand ragged people officially stepped into the boundary of Taozhou.
Pei Min took Gu Xin and the prepared clothes and medicine to greet them in person, for them, Pei Min just said four words: "Welcome home!" ”
Welcome home!
The short four words seem to have infinite magic power, making the people of the Tang Dynasty who are trapped in a foreign race cry.
Some of them were soldiers, civilians, and scholars, and some of them were stranded in Tibet for a year, some for five years, and the longest for even ten years......
After a long time, they have long forgotten what home is like, and they are numb to the feeling that the corner of the cattle pen is their home! Now when I hear the word "go home", the home hidden in my memory comes to my heart, and tears pour out.
After they vented the joy in their hearts, Pei Min said: "Your Majesty is merciful, and has made a special decree to let me take you home." If you still have family, I will arrange for someone to send you back. If you have no relatives, Taozhou is your home. It will also arrange for Changshi to handle your household registration and arrange your accommodation. My Taozhou is suitable for animal husbandry, you are all good at this, and there will be a place for you in Taozhou. ”
Under the arrangement of him and Gu Xin, the people who were willing to go back to their hometown to find their relatives were sent home, and those who were willing to stay enthusiastically applied for their household registration status, and rented their sheep and horses, so that they could live comfortably in Taozhou.
This victory is of great significance to Taozhou.
Driven by the three major workshops, such as the quarrying workshop, the inkstone workshop, and the carving workshop, Taozhou's economy has recovered and begun to develop benignly. It's just that I'm worried that Tubo will attack and enter the country, and all the major businessmen are in a wait-and-see state. Now Pei Min has proved with his strength that he has enough strength to protect the people of Taozhou.
The major businesses did not want to get a piece of the pie during this tax-free time, and opened stores one by one, so that the scarce materials in the county became abundant.
The promotion of animal husbandry has also given the people in the territory one more choice.
In particular, Pei Min has 30,000 sheep in his hands, and there is no shortage of people or livestock.
With supplies, don't worry about no one at all?
It takes little effort to promote this secondary industry. If you have surplus wealth, you can buy it directly, and if you don't have any money to spare, you can rent it, as long as you pay interest, rent it for five years, and the sheep borrowed will be owned by the tenant, and the benefits are not too good.
Under various preferential treatments, the 30,000 sheep in Pei Min's hands were rented and sold within a month.
In the vast Taozhou grassland, you can see the scene of sheep and horses grazing everywhere.
On this day, Pei Min called Gu Xin in front of him and said, "I'm going to Shanzhou to explore, go to Guo Tingshi's appointment, and Taozhou will be handed over to you here!" ”
Gu Xinzuo said: "Rest assured, the overall situation will be handled properly, and the rest of the trivial matters will be enough to deal with." ”
Pei Min nodded, Gu Xin's talent is not particularly outstanding, but he has a heart to protect the people for the people, and he is also very serious in handling things, which is enough to trust, and he said: "For animal husbandry, don't be entangled in the development of death." Don't shepherd sheep is goat's milk wool, so the benefit is too small, and it is not rational and clever at all. It is necessary to be determined to develop the industrial chain and build this industrial chain together, which is the real way of development. ”
Industrial chain is a concept in industrial economics, and it is a word that only exists in later generations. However, when promoting the Taoshui Strange Stone, Pei Min had already put it forward and was recognized from the facts.
Gu Xin naturally understood that now he worships Pei Min like a god, respects him very much, and listens especially seriously.
"I don't know much about the industrial chain of animal husbandry, but I can develop from the aspects of woolen clothing, cream tea, milk wine, cheese, cake, and toffee, process the materials, give full play to its maximum value, and form a reasonable industrial chain, which is absolutely beneficial to the economy of Taozhou. Do you think, almost all of my Datang is based on farming, and where is it like our Taozhou, which is mainly based on animal husbandry? As long as this aspect is developed, scarcity is expensive, and it will definitely bring great effects. ”
Gu Xin couldn't stop nodding and remembering every word in his heart. didn't pretend to understand what he didn't understand, and asked directly: "Woolen sweater, cream tea, milk wine, humble understanding, what are cheese, cakes, and toffee?" ”
Pei Min smiled: "Cheese is a fermented dairy product, that is, the product of coagulation of milk through fermentation, which is easy to carry and store for a long time; Cake is a mixture of eggs, soybean flour and milk. As for the toffee, milk and sucrose are combined with various condiments to form a lump, and the taste is excellent. None of this is hard to make. These things are available in the West, but maybe not by that name. We don't have milk as a staple food here, so it's not very common. ”
Gu Xin admired: "The humble position also boasts of reading books, but compared with the history of assassination, it is far behind. ”
"Haha!" Pei Min is also not polite, he listens to it and uses it, as a traverser, the benefits and advantages are everywhere.
Seeing Gu Xin away, Pei Min directly found Jiao Chen, hugged her little waist and said, "My husband wants to go to Shanzhou to explore, is my wife willing to go with me?" ”
Jiao Chen took the opportunity to pill his head on the crook of his arm, and said with a smile: "Of course you have to go together, as long as Lang Jun doesn't dislike it, where Lang Jun goes, the concubine will go!" I'm going to get my clothes ready ......."
"Go ahead!" Pei Min patted Jiao Chen's buttocks lightly, and got a charming look.
Pei Min was a little uneasy, and in terms of showing his charm, Jiao Chen's smile was full of temptation. Thinking that he was cleaning her up at night, he walked to the side yard at his feet.
Although he is busy with affairs, Pei Min always insists on one thing, as long as he is in Taozhou, he has to meet with Wang Zhongsi every day and ask him if there is anything he doesn't understand.
In his memory, in history, Wang Zhongsi was raised by Li Longji in the palace, and under Li Longji's arrangement, Wang Zhongsi studied with Li Heng, the king of Zhong. In the end, he became the first general of the Tang Dynasty and taught the enemies around the Tang Dynasty a lesson.
Now that history has deviated, under his interference, Wang Zhongsi's mother is still alive and well, and Wang Zhongsi did not become an orphan as in history, and let Li Longji take him as a fake son, but he took care of it.
The trajectory of this growth has changed, and Pei Min can't be sure whether the wise and brave Wang Zhonghei in history will appear.
In order to avoid crippled a world-famous general, he didn't dare to be sloppy about Wang Zhonghe's guidance.
Wang Zhongsi is also extremely competitive, but he is more than ten years old, and he has grown into a strong boy, not only swinging the halberd under the horse, but also opening the bow immediately; I also knew all the words, and began to study the art of war.
For this, he was also beaten by his mother, Wang, because he refused to continue to learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius from his husband. He studied culture by heart, just to be able to read military books. The goal is achieved, and he disdains the profound learning of Confucius and Mencius.
"Brother Min!" Seeing Pei Min coming, Wang Zhongsi greeted him, holding a book in his hand, and ran over and said, "I can't understand this book!" This is not a military book, no matter how you say it, it is a great principle of governing the country. ”
Pei Min didn't read the title of the book, and estimated in his heart that it should be "Wu Zi's Art of War", and took it in his hand to look at it, and sure enough. He squatted down and smiled: "I don't understand, you don't need to look!" This book of war is indeed a bit esoteric to you now. To put it simply, every soldier in history has his own characteristics. is like Sun Wu, Sun Wu attaches great importance to strategy with his troops, and he disturbs Chu and finally wins more with less, and defeats the strong with weak. Han Xin is scheming, he is full of scheming, and he can win any enemy with his strategy. No matter how weak the soldiers in his hands are, with the help of his merits, he can exert his maximum combat power. As for Wu Qi, he used troops to rule heavily, and rarely used any conspiracies and tricks. He believed in the fact that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and intrigue were vulnerable. ”
"It's like the battle of Yin and Jin, the Qin army is 500,000, Wu Qi is only 50,000, and the Qin army is ten times that of Wu Qi in terms of strength, if it were you, what should you do?" Pei Min asked with a bit of a test.
Wang Zhongsi thought for a while and said: "I will defend to the death, the use of 500,000 troops is not something that can be easily beared, as long as I defend to the death, drag the Qin army and hold on, and wait for them to run out of food and grass, and then counterattack!" ”
"Yes!" Pei Min touched Wang Zhonghei's head and praised it.
Wang Zhongsi smiled happily "hehe".
Pei Min said: "Wu Qi's method is even simpler, just a fight!" He didn't use any strategy, he directly led 50,000 to 500,000, and then won. ”
Wang Zhongsi's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word.
"That's the real essence of this book!" Pei Min shook the "Wu Zi's Art of War" in his hand and said: "Wu Qi is not a scheming person, but believes that the soldiers he has trained have the strength to win head-on when they are ten times weaker than the Qin army!" ”
Wang Zhongsi's eyes lit up.
Pei Min smiled and said: "Look at your intentions, Brother Min will take you to Shanzhou to play!" ”
