Yi Nan may have some wisdom, but a native of the grassland, even if he is smart, he is only as smart as he is, not to mention Sun Xiangfu, any person in Datang who is qualified to go to the court can use his brain power to play him around.

Defeating Jieli, Hui followed suitably and surrendered, however, Li Shimin was happy at the same time, but also painful.

Interests are the catalyst for intensifying the fighting, when the princes of the family see the Turkic captives, they see interests, then, they will fight for them, even if those people are still being collected by Li Jing in the distant Yumen Pass, they are already arguing about the final distribution.

In addition, Sun Xiangfu scraped all the serfs of the family to Shanyang, which will also produce a series of sequelae.

Those families whose children are all over the local prefectures and counties have begun to persecute the people by various means, and they will find ways to turn the people under their rule into their own serfs.

Therefore, the cases of corruption and persecution of the people in the Tang Dynasty are increasing exponentially, and Li Shimin has to reuse Wei Zheng, and expand the supervision team of the imperial history to inspect and supervise all provinces.

And these people in charge of inspection and supervision can't be officials of the family lineage, otherwise, it will be a vain investigation if they are checked, so even Ma Zhou was added to the part-time official title by Li Shimin and sent out.

The country is getting bigger and bigger, and the dilemma of having no one available in his hands is becoming more and more prominent, and Datang needs time to digest what he eats in his stomach.

Li Shimin transferred the eldest grandson Wuji back to Chang'an to replace Du Yan as the head of the household department, and directly promoted the warrior Tong to be the assassin of Yangzhou, and supervised the taxation of the soybean paste workshop.

In fact, there is a group of people in Datang who can still be used, that is, the children of merchants, their families have money, although they are not as well-educated as the sons of the family, but they can write and calculate, but unfortunately, the children and grandchildren of merchants, in terms of household registration, are still merchants, and in this period, they cannot become officials.

And the formation of the family is precisely because the descendants of the scholars are still scholars, and they can be officials from generation to generation, and if they want to put an end to the emergence and continuation of the family, they must break such stereotypes.

Li Shimin now often discusses the imperial examination with a few confidant ministers, and now, he has a more mature idea, if the wind and rain are good next year, he wants to open a science and take a scholar, these are all later words.

To receive Yi Nan, in fact, Sun Xiangfu doesn't need to prepare anything, where Shanyang City is, all the people perform their duties, do their jobs well, and let Yi Nan see the most real Shanyang City.

On the fifth day of the first month of November, Yi Nan, who had walked slowly for three or four days on a distance of two or three hundred miles, finally arrived at Shanyang City, and when this big city with a city wall as high as five or six zhang appeared in front of him, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he couldn't believe it.

No wonder Sun Zhengming dared to let himself come, there is such a strong city, only a few thousand defenders are needed, and he is filling in the lives of tens of thousands of horses, I am afraid that he will not be able to break it.

What surprised him even more was that Sun Xiangfu did not let him live outside the city, but the city gate was wide open and all the soldiers and horses he brought directly entered the city.

How much faith does this have to be? Yi Nan thought.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu has confidence in his military strength on the one hand, but he is not so confident in the quality of the generals under Xue Yantuo's subordinates, the reason why he opened the city gate so wide is because of the direction of the north gate of Shanyang City, as soon as he enters the city, it is the military and political district, and on the right side of the city gate, is the military camp, which was originally built according to the scale of 50,000 people, and can live all the soldiers and generals of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and now, there are less than 30,000 horses, and the remaining houses are enough for 5,000 people and horses under Yi Nan to live.

Dongzhu also came to the city gate to greet Yi Nan, after a little explanation to his subordinate soldiers, soon, Yi Nan entered the so-called warm house for the first time, it turned out that in the Han people's house, he did not need to wear several layers of heavy sheepskin jackets.

The place where Sun Xiangfu gave Yi Nan to catch the wind was in the conference hall in the barracks, the benches and tables here were all things that Yi Nan had never seen, and when the pots of fragrant and meat and vegetarian dishes were served, Xue Yantuo, the general who entered the hall with Yi Nan, began to swallow his saliva.

"Are these greens grown in those low walls that I saw outside the city?"

At present, Yi Nan can still point out the key to the problem, which is rare.

"Part of it, and more of it, it's grown in greenhouses." Sun Xiangfu on the main seat replied with a smile, and at this time, Dongzhu, who was sitting next to Yi Nan, had already taken the initiative to open a wine jar.

"Brother, hurry up and have a drink, after drinking this wine, your whole body will be warm."

The wine jar was opened, and a strong aroma of wine overflowed, under the signal of Sun Xiangfu's eyes, Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai and others also began to open the wine jar and pour wine for those Xue Yantuo generals on the table.

As for Guo Po, who was in charge of the defense in the city, he did not come over to accompany the wine. Xue Li is even wearing armor and holding an iron halberd to patrol the camp, and he has a great deterrent effect on those soldiers and generals of Xue Yantuo's department.

This kind of strong liquor that smells strong Yi Nan has drunk it before, but because the number of Dong Zhu sent back is too small, not all of his subordinate generals drink it, Sanjay was knocked off the horse by Xue Li after smelling the aroma of wine, and his broken nose didn't hurt anymore, so he didn't need Yi Nan to greet him, picked up the wine bowl, and took a big sip, and then, in an instant, he became red and his neck was thick.

Sun Xiangfu looked at Sanjie's embarrassment and smiled, "This wine is very strong, it's better for you to drink it slowly, eat more vegetables, eat more vegetables, these dishes you can't usually eat on the grassland, especially in winter." ”

"Being able to grow this kind of green vegetables on a snowy day, Sun Dudu's skills are really good."

After tasting a mouthful of green vegetables with chopsticks, Yi Nan couldn't help but praise.

"It's just a trick, but this year time is in a hurry, and there are not many warm sheds and snow shelters built, and in the coming year, I will definitely ask someone to send some to you for you to eat in winter."

"Then thank you Sun Dudu, by the way, my subordinate generals, are they also dining at this time?"

"Of course, there is a large canteen in the barracks, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people at the same time, but there is a separate meal system, and I have asked people to lead them to the canteen to eat, and I can't treat them badly."

When Sun Xiangfu was talking to Yi Nan about this problem, the soldiers under Yi Nan were now eager to eat their tongues, and the food they were entertained in the barracks was very simple, a large bowl of mutton noodle soup, plus a large bag cake, and a small bowl of liquor, less than two taels.

However, it is this simple food, in terms of taste, but it has never been eaten in ordinary times, the bowl of mutton noodle soup has green vegetable leaves in it, and I don't know what spices are put in it, the aroma goes straight to the human brain, the dough is even smoother and softer, very fine, and the capsule cake, there are sesame seeds, and there is a sweet taste, not to mention the small bowl of spirits, after drinking, the whole body is warm.

After Yi Nan and his subordinates devoured for a while, Sun Xiangfu said, "Miss Dongzhu has recently learned some singing and dancing skills with Zunei, and after eating and drinking, the leader of Yi Nan can first take the generals to the sauna to take a bath, change into comfortable clothes, and in the evening, move to the drama theater in Shanyang City, watch the performance of Miss Dongzhu, and also appreciate and appreciate the more popular dramas of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Corrupt Yi Nan, from the moment he stepped into Shanyang City, if eating, drinking and having fun could not corrode his heart, then Sun Xiangfu would use benefits to guide him, so that he would have no time to look south.

"Hehe, I heard Dongzhu say that you want to take her to Chang'an and show your emperor song and dance?"

Yi Nan's smile had some incomprehensible meaning, in this period, Sun Xiangfu's behavior was equivalent to dedicating his sister to the emperor. Of course, Yi Nan didn't feel that this was a shame, on the contrary, he still had some expectations in his heart, if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty could form a marriage relationship with his Xue Yantuo department, then he Xue Yantuo would inevitably become a country on the grassland that was more powerful than the Turks.

"Yes, if you are sure to declare yourself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, then, after the prisoner sacrifice ceremony held in Chang'an at the end of the month, I will take her to perform a song and dance to Your Majesty, but don't think too much, Ling Mei seems to be in love with a good brotherhood of this governor, Your Majesty ······"

"Good brother? Who is it? ”

Hearing this, Yi Nan's complexion changed, in his opinion, even if Dongzhu can't be Li Shimin's concubine, it should be appropriate to be the wife of a person like Sun Xiangfu, if he marries a soldier under Sun Xiangfu at will, it will be too shameless.

The voice of the two talking is not small, how can Dongzhu, who is sitting next to them, not hear it, recently Yu Chi Baolin has been stalking Dongzhu under the instigation of Sun Xiangfu, and Dongzhu doesn't seem to hate him and likes to play with him very much.

"Brother, don't worry about Dongzhu's affairs, go to Chang'an, it's just that my sister is curious and wants to take a look."

Looking at Dongzhu's squirming posture, Yi Nan had a bad heart, and his inquiring eyes looked at Sun Xiangfu again.

"Hehe, my little brother's family background is amazing, his ancestral home is this Shanyang, and the future is an ironclad national prince, higher than my current title!" Sun Xiangfu explained.

"Guogong?"

"Well, he is the eldest son of Chi Gong, the Duke of Hubei, Chi Baolin, this person is very good at martial arts, and now, he is the chief of security of my Shanyang City, at night, if you go to see Dongzhu's performance, you can see him."

Yi Nan naturally knows the hereditary system of the Tang Dynasty, if it is really as Sun Xiangfu said, that Yu Chi Baolin is the future Duke of Eguo, his identity is not low, he has heard of Yu Chi Gong's name, there are a number of fierce generals in the Tang Dynasty, since Sun Xiangfu said that Yu Chi Baolin is good at martial arts, it will not be too bad, after all, what level of generals under Sun Xiangfu is, he already knows in his heart.

However, Yi Nan, who was thinking about marrying the emperor, put Yu Chi Baolin in the second echelon, and only after taking a sip of wine did he say, "Before my sister meets the Tang Emperor, it's better not to have anything to do with other men." ”

"So, is the leader of Yi Nan sure that he wants to be a minister to my Tang Dynasty?"

"Uh, this ······"

was stunned for a while by Sun Xiangfu's question, and Yi Nancai said again, "Let's see if your Shanyang City can really solve the survival problem of my nomads!" ”
