Li Shimin's discussions with his ministers were fruitless, and he did not dare to suppress Li Chengqian's enthusiasm for governing the country for the time being, and he could only let what Li Chengqian did in the north.

But despite this, Li Chengqian also encountered a big problem, that is, the entire northern land lacked talents who were interested in Datang.

No matter how this piece of fetters is planned in the future, Li Chengqian or Li Shimin can only send a few hundred scholars here to be officials at most.

However, the people's sentiments here are completely different from those in the mainland, and in the Tang Dynasty, whether it was in the Guanzhong region or Henan Province, as long as the wind and rain were smooth, the people in a county and those who were not officials lived in peace and stability. Although there are many barbarians in the southern mountainous areas, the local natural resources are abundant, and they are limited by transportation, and there are basically no people who go out often in a village or tribe living in a mountain nest, so it is also very easy to manage.

But the north is different, now this is a grassland, the most peaceful Qiang people are also mostly herding for a living, the folk customs are fierce and not subject to etiquette, want to use a few scholars to govern these people is probably wishful thinking.

This is also the fundamental reason why most of the DPRK and China do not advocate the county system here.

Therefore, what Li Chengqian has to do now is to cultivate a group of talents suitable for governing the Qiang people for the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, even if the imperial court sends county orders and county officials, there must be some people such as government officials!

After all, in his previous life, he knew some methods of class analysis, and Li Chengqian decided to do a good job in dealing with Mi Bao's article this time in order to win the hearts of the people.

In the back room of Li Chengqian's temporary residence in Dejing County, Li Chengqian and Xu Jingzong Wang Qun discussed the plan for dealing with the Mi Capture clan, and sighed: "This kind of thing should be done by Li Yifu, and he should be more handy in doing it." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded subconsciously when he heard this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Xindao is really good at knowing people, but it is a pity that Li Yifu is not here, so he can only fall on his head.

The two of them walked out of Li Chengqian's place of residence, and according to Li Chengqian's arrangement, each took a few scribes with them, and ordered a clean place not far from the Dejing County Ya to set up a table, and then sent people to the street to beat gongs and drums for people to come and complain.

In ancient China, the best way for local officials to gain prestige quickly was not to build infrastructure: to build bridges, pave roads, dig canals, etc., nor to engage in economic construction: to persuade farmers and mulberry trees, or even to engage in education and build schools to reward studious scholars......

If a local official can deal with the local bully as soon as he arrives in the place, then his prestige will be spread thousands of miles away, and even praised by the local people for generations, and later compiled into operas.

The most vivid example of this is Bao Gong.

Li Chengqian came to Dejing County with a large army and directly eliminated the two biggest local tyrants here, which was of course a great favor to the local people, and it stands to reason that he should be able to win the hearts of the local people.

However, because of the exchange of troops between the two sides, some people who did not know the truth were also involved, and although Li Chengqian did not commit any offense against the Qiang people here after entering the city, the Qiang people still maintained enough vigilance and distance from the Tang army.

Therefore, Li Chengqian decided to use a killer weapon again to avenge the people's grievances, so as to speed up the people's recognition of Datang.

Because Li Chengqian's purpose this time was to dispose of all the Qiang Haoqiang in the north, the order he gave to Xu Jingzong and others was to deal with all the complaints he received as long as they were against Haoqiang.

Moreover, after Haoqiang was handled, only a small part of their property was left in the Tang Army, and most of it was equally distributed to the local people, and the people who complained should give more.

This should mobilize the extreme nature of the Qiang people's complaints.

On the first day, all the people who came to sue in Dejing County were those who sued the Mi Bao clan and the Po Chao clan, because the main figures of the Mi Bao clan and the Po Chao clan had already been arrested by the Tang army, so Xu Jingzong immediately promised that in addition to killing them, the people who came to sue would give them some more property when they decifed the Mi Chao clan's property in a few days.

Although the people who complained were skeptical, it was good to get a few words of comfort from a big official like Xu Jingzong, and they went home happily.

The next day, when Xue Rengui, who had gone to attack the Mi Bao clan and the Pochao clan's village, returned, Li Chengqian ordered Xu Jing to arrange for their belongings to be cleaned up, and then distributed equally among the people inside and outside Dejing County.

As these news continued to spread, in the following days, some people in Dejing County came to complain one after another, including those who sued the Mi Bao clan and the Pochao clan, as well as some other small tribes within the county.

The large and small tribes of the Qiang people do not belong to each other, which has brought great convenience to Li Chengqian in doing this.

As soon as Xu Jingzong, who sued those small tribes, made clear the inquiry, he immediately sent troops to raid the houses and arrest the tribal leaders and main culprits, and the property in the tribe was divided equally among the people in those tribes, except for a part of the compensation to the victims.

In this way, the grievances were avenged and the family was divided.

After Xu Jingzong cleaned up the property of the Mi Bao clan and the Pochao clan, Li Chengqian ordered Cheng Wuting to escort the part to be distributed to the Qiang people outside Dejing County one night in advance.

Early in the morning of the second day, a colorful shed was erected on the site cleared out in front of the county yamen a few days in advance, and a throne was set up, and the Qiang people inside and outside Dejing County came here and stood in front of the colorful shed according to the order of residence, waiting for Li Chengqian's arrival.

The sun slowly rose, and a group of soldiers escorted Mi Bao Duoge and Po Chao and their family henchmen to the colorful shed one by one and knelt down in front of everyone.

The people standing at the front of the colorful shed are the enemies of these people, who have been robbed of cattle and sheep by them who bullied men and women before, and if they want to be reasonable, they will whip dozens of whips lightly, break their arms and legs seriously, and some people even lose their lives.

Now these men and their homes stand opposite Mitodog.

As soon as these people saw Mi Tog, they naturally hated the root of their teeth, and at this time, seeing them kneeling in front of them one by one, bowing their heads, they did not dare to look at people, and some of the women began to curse in a low voice, and the younger ones were bold enough to spit on them.

Then someone heard the cries of cattle, sheep and horses from far and near, and they couldn't help but look back, only to see a large group of cattle and sheep coming from the south gate with a group of brightly armored Tang troops behind them, and behind the herd of cattle and sheep were horses pulling carts to the city.

Although I don't know what is loaded in the car, I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, and I see that they are pitiful and want to give them the things that Mi Bao and Po Chao robbed them of.

The Qiang people standing in front of the colorful shed looked at these things one by one with excitement, their eyes lit up, and they kept saying good things about Li Chengqian, cursing the Mi Duoge family.

After a while, only the sound of drums was heard, and a pair of attendants came out of the county office with incense burners and honor guards.

Where have the Qiang people in front of the shed seen such gorgeous and delicate things, when they see the cigarette smoke in front of them, all kinds of colorful satin fluttering, a young man wearing a golden crown and a jade robe with a long body walks slowly under the cover of the feather fan umbrella, thinking that it is a fairy who has descended to the immortals, and the people who are standing in the front row are so panicked that they hurriedly lie on the ground and bow down.

Li Chengqian walked to the front of the people and said to everyone warmly: "Hurry up and calm down, don't freeze your body on the ground." ”

The kneeling crowd saw Li Chengqian's smile like a flower, so they were excited and hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, where could they hear what he said.

Li Chengqian glanced at the attendants beside him, and several small attendants hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the old men kneeling in front of him, and loudly repeated what Li Chengqian had just said.

As soon as several old people heard that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty cared about them so much, they were excited to kneel on the ground again and kowtow.

Li Chengqian had to go to the throne first and sit down and order Liu Kui to deal with it, and Liu Kui took a group of small chamberlains to appease the excited Qiang people.

Li Chengqian ordered Xu Jingzong to read aloud the indictments of Mi Bao and Po Chao that he had personally written.

Xu Jingzong recently because of the trial of unjust cases for the people, very much loved by the local Qiang people, in order to be famous in history, today specially put on a clean official uniform, solemnly picked up the crown prince's edict, before reading it out to the crowd first, so that the people standing in front of the shed could not help but admire.

"The Mi Bao clan, relying on their large numbers, bullying countless people, killing people and goods, stealing and robbing, dare to do any bad things.

1. Robbing the eldest daughter of the Fold family ......"

Xu Jingzong's eyes widened after reading a few words, and he looked at the big vernacular written in flowing thin gold font with disbelief.

Xu Jingzong thought that he had made a mistake and looked back at Li Chengqian, but saw Li Chengqian and said expressionlessly: "Continue reading." ”

Xu Jingzong couldn't just blushing and reading this big vernacular aloud, as soon as he finished reading it, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, his cheeks were flushed, and he turned around and walked back to the color shed, as if he had no face after reading such a vulgar article.

But the Qiang people in front of the colorful shed understood his big vernacular, and gritted their teeth with hatred when they saw that many of the crimes of the Mi Bao clan were listed in it.

Li Chengqian saw that the people's emotions were almost praised, so he glanced at Wang Qun, and Wang Qun was busy with the color shed to bring a few of the wronged people into the color shed.

As soon as a few people came in, they saw Li Chengqian, who was close at hand, and hurriedly lay on the ground to thank Li Chengqian for avenging their grievances.

Several people didn't dare to disobey Li Chengqian, and they put their butts slightly next to Jindun, looking at Li Chengqian nervously.

Li Chengqian looked at them and smiled slightly: "Let you be wronged, this is the lonely king, I am not!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally avenged our grievances, which is already a great blessing......"

……

……

These people were originally specially selected by Wang Qun to be able to speak.

Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal them to stop, and said with a smile: "Although you don't complain about the lonely king, but the county order of Mi Duoge was sealed by the imperial court. ”

Li Chengqian paused and continued: "King Gu knows that there are still many small Qiang tribes in the north that are being oppressed by large tribes, and there are Turks who are also oppressing you. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heavenly grace, we will never forget it." An old man said excitedly again.

Li Chengqian nodded and continued: "How the Lone King hopes that more wronged people will know that the Lone King is willing to clear the snow for them!" ”

"The grass people are willing to spread the painstaking ...... of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

"Good! It's rare that you are sincere, and the lonely king is approved.

Mitodog, they have oppressed you, are you willing to tell your grievances in public, and then scold them a few times, and beat them a few times to get angry?"

"Yes!" Several people's eyes were red, Mi Bao Duoge ruined their families, and they were willing to deal with them.

Then the king invited them out, and stood beside Mitogar, one by one, and bitterly recounted the sufferings they had suffered.

The voices of the people mentioned earlier were full of tears, and the people listening to the lecture below were also red-eyed, and they looked at Mi Bao Duoge's family one by one and wanted to eat them alive.

So later, as soon as a few people made a move, the people below also rushed up, some people who had been bullied by Mi Bao Duoge, and some people who were full of righteous indignation, punched and kicked the more than 100 people kneeling on it.

When they were tired and Xu Jingzong came forward to dissuade them, there were no more than a hundred people who were out of breath.

Li Chengqian did not blame them, and directly ordered the living to be killed by a knife, and then began to distribute cattle and sheep property.

On the second day, Xu Jingzong recruited the Qiang people and began to distribute land and pasture to them, and as soon as they got the pasture, the people eagerly led the cattle and sheep they had received yesterday to their own pastures for grazing, while cutting some hay and going back to keep warm.

When Li Chengqian came, he saw that there was no one outside the city, but the people in the city did not have firewood and grass for heating, and thought it was the custom of the Qiang people.

After this set of operations, the Qiang people were happy and convinced of Li Chengqian and Datang, and they only hated that they were not directly governed by Datang earlier.

In the next few days, the events that happened in Dejing County spread for hundreds of miles under the impetus of Li Chengqian, and many people walked one or two hundred miles to Qiandejing County to find the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince to avenge them.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian pushed the boat to release all the scribes transferred from Chang'an.

When these scribes went out, in addition to sending some necessary troops to protect them, Li Chengqian also sent some Qiang people who had been recruited in Dejing County and had already received money and property to help them.

Of course, Li Chengqian did this on the one hand to strengthen the influence of the Tang Dynasty among the Qiang people, and on the other hand, because the leaders and leaders were dealt with, some of the Qiang serf rules (or Qiang culture) naturally collapsed.

-------------

Although there was a period of warming up after the first snowfall, the general trend of the weather was getting colder day by day, and the north wind whined every day.

However, Li Chengqian had to face the north wind again at this time and set off to Lingzhou again.

Along the way, Li Chengqian received many letters from Chang'an, the most important of which was from the crown princess Su.

It turned out that Su gave birth to a son at the beginning of November, and it is said that Li Shimin was very happy and had a banquet for his grandson in the East Palace, and personally named him Li Bai.

Li Chengqian sat in the car and watched the news, and was very happy, and at night he set up camp, picked up a brush, and wrote a reply to the crown princess word by word.

As soon as Li Chengqian finished writing the letter to the crown princess, he saw Wang Qun walk in with a solemn face.

Li Chengqian put down the letter and asked, "But there is news from the north?"

Wang Qun nodded and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the spies from the front, Xue Yantuo Yinan and his son separated after crossing the Yellow River?"

"Separated?

Do you know where you have gone with how many people you have taken?"

"Ba Zhuo took the Hui Zhu troops with 200,000 steps to ride in the direction of Xiazhou."

Li Chengqian knew that he was in big trouble now, and hurriedly said: "You go and find out where Li Simo's department is now, and report to me as soon as you find out." ”

When Wang Qun heard this, he hurriedly saluted and went out, and Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui: "Go and summon the generals into the tent." ”

Today is the first day of April, and I have written more than 4,000 words without chapters.
