Li Zhonghan received an order from the King of Qin.

Khotanbo was a foreign fan of the Chinese Empire, and he should have directly obeyed the orders of Yanjing or Quancheng. However, because of the long distance and difficult roads, in the future, Khotan, which is located west of Yumen Pass, should actually accept more orders from Broken Leaves.

After all, the King of Qin was the leader who led Khotan to attack his old enemy Pars, so it was not difficult for Li Zhonghan to regard Broken Leaf as the suzerain.

What's more, King Qin is also the king of the clan in China, and loyalty to King Qin can be regarded as indirect loyalty to the empire, but it seems that he has fallen from his sons to his grandchildren.

It's a trifle.

As for the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the content is also simple, requiring Khotan, as a vassal state of Great Qin, to draw one of the three dings, prepare horses, armor, weapons and ten-day rations, and go to Xiaye to participate in the great parade conducted by the King of Qin in the royal capital.

Li Zhonghan thought about it, at present, the country of Khotan is not counted as slaves, there are more than 2,000 dings and half dings, and if you draw one out of three, it is almost the 800 people who sent troops last time.

For a small city-state with a total population of just over 10,000 people, sending 800 troops is not a simple task. However, in the last battle of Barasagon in Khotan, a lot of slaves were distributed and sent to work in the fields, but they were able to save a lot of labor to participate in this parade.

In addition, last time, Li Zhonghan also obtained a large number of weapons, including 300 sets of Ma Kai and 500 sets of iron armor, with these things, Khotan could also gather the strength of 300 armored cavalry and 500 iron armor soldiers.

The only problem is the grain, the last time I patronized the gold and jade woman, the grain was very small, and the granaries of Barasagon were in the hands of the King of Qin, and Khotan, which had not long been restored, fed so many people and war horses, it was almost impossible without foreign aid support.

It was not easy for the eight hundred men to get out of their ten days' bread.

When he was thinking about how to gather the food for 800 people for ten days, Li Zhonghan's eldest son Li Guihua came up:

"Ah Da, the king asked us to draw one and give out ten days of food, where can we afford it!"

"Well, so I'll have to buy some." Li Zhonghan said: "There should still be food in the broken leaves, and the uncle took the treasure of the Pars dog, let's buy it with gold and jade, we should be able to buy it." ”

"Ahh The king of Qin wants us to send troops, and he still doesn't give us food, you still want to buy it with gold! Li Guihua shouted anxiously: "King Qin should give us food ......"

Syllable!

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhonghan slapped him.

With a lot of force, Li Guihua spun around on the spot.

"You've only had a lot of food for a few days? I actually dared to talk to my uncle about the conditions! Li Zhonghan scolded: "Uncle King thinks you can afford you!" If Uncle King didn't bring you with him that day, then you would be finished! ”

"But there are only a few Han people in broken leaves! They should be relying on us ...... now."

Syllable!

Another slap, Li Guihua turned around.

"How many Han Chinese are there? Five thousand! How? Not much! Is it less? Many! ”

Li Zhonghan said viciously:

"At least enough to kill all the men, women, and children in Khotan! The Great White High Kingdom has been destroyed! What are the ten thousand people in Khotan enough for? Han Qian is invincible! You're kidding!? ”

"Now it is precisely because there are not many Han people here that we are needed, so Khotan can restore the country! You kid can't even see this clearly, do you want to die when you say those words? ”

The son lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

But his expression was still angry.

"Ugh......."

Li Zhonghan couldn't help but sigh.

Young people, it is normal to be arrogant, Li Zhonghan sent his son's eldest daughter and sister into King Qin's harem, I am afraid it will also make Li Guihua very uncomfortable, which is understandable.

But it would be stupid not to even see such an obvious situation now.

"Lao Tzu told you, don't say that broken leaves still sell grain, even if you don't sell them, Lao Tzu will have to fight to participate in the parade if you kill horses and camels to eat!"

Horses and camels are the foundation of life in the Western Regions, and this is already very important, just like a Han farmer who said that he would do something even if he ate seeds and grain.

"Since you are thinking about it now, then don't go to this big reading!"

Li Zhonghan was very afraid that his son would cause him some trouble by breaking leaves, so he planned to let his son do another thing:

"Uncle King gave you thirty copies of the letter of pardon, we can send thirty people and thirty camels to Chang'an to trade, you lead the team, go to increase knowledge, and see what the world of the Han family is like!"

Li Zhonghan went to Xingqing Mansion when he was young, and served as a sanitation guard for the Puppet Xia Emperor at that time, and at that time he felt that Xingqing Mansion was really a prosperous place of the first class in the world.

However, when the Great White High Kingdom fell, he went to Chang'an to show his loyalty to the empire, and after seeing this northwest city, he was immediately subdued by this bustling and prosperous city.

And listening to the Han petty officials who received it, Chang'an is not the largest and most magnificent city in the empire, the empire still has Quancheng, where the emperor is located, and Yanjing, where the prince is located, and many other metropolises that are not smaller than Chang'an, or even bigger than Chang'an!

"We're so uninsightful here." Li Zhonghan lamented: "That's why you kid has such a big rebellious idea, since this is the case, you should go to Handi to have a good look, study hard, and increase your knowledge!" ”

"Yes." Li Guihua agreed heavily.

"Also, take your two younger brothers with you and let them go to school in Springs! No matter how much it costs! I have to let them go to school even if they spend all the forty camels of goods! You have to spend as much as you want! Li Zhonghan shouted: "Tell them, find a Han woman in the Han land!" It doesn't matter if the woman's family is poor or rich, as long as it is a real Han girl! In the future, our men will only marry Han women, and women will only marry Han men! This is our family motto! ”

"Lao Tzu wants to hug the thighs of the Han people for generations!"

"No, Lao Tzu wants to become a real Han Chinese!"

……

Xu Daixuan didn't know what Li Zhonghan and Li Guihua's father and son thought, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Now His Royal Highness King Qin has too much work to do.

The empire has not yet been able to give him food, so Xu Daixuan can only turn to the imperial merchants who come to trade now.

The merchants promised to use Qin's minerals and war booty as collateral to provide Xu Daixuan with 1.5 million stone of grain per year.

This year is coming to an end, but the first batch of 150,000 stone will be shipped before the end of the year, and the second batch of grain will be shipped after the first month has passed.

Of course, Chang'an did not have that much grain in stock, but the merchants could set up farms and tuntian fields in the northwest region, and they organized their own manpower to cultivate the land, which was enough to ensure the completion of the contract with the Qin king.

In this way, even if most of the food problem is solved, Xu Daixuan has non-stop recruitment.

At present, the soldiers of the eight countries of the Western Regions and some small tribes can be dispatched are about 10,000, and the soldiers of the less reliable tribes in Ben Metrole are also about 10,000.

In addition, it was the original Han soldiers and foreign soldiers, who were unable to come because they were not in a hurry before, and they would lead their troops to Xiaye to join him before the end of the year.

They will also bring more Muguls and Tibetans who take refuge in the initiative.
