254 Emperor II

After Tuoba Yan heard that the Chishui tribe had moved, he once joked to Qin Luo: "I didn't expect Ye Leyi to be a shrunken turtle, but she was self-aware, knowing that she couldn't beat us now, so she took the lead in escaping." ”

Qin Luo smiled and did not answer. He believed that with Yereyi's methods, even if he took his people away, they would definitely start all over again and build a new homeland.

Tuoba Yan's patrol was too hasty, and Qin Luo was taken away before he could meet with Blacksmith Sun. They walked for three days before they came to the Cham Lu steppe, where General Ji Li Karang was still the guard, and this time it was he who still came forward and led the soldiers to greet His Majesty the Emperor.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." Gilicarang bowed down and bowed, and the rest of the people knelt down with him. Looking around, a group of people who were pressed by the black pressure knelt respectfully to greet Tuoba Yan, allowing Tuoba Yan to enjoy the majesty of being an emperor.

"Flat." Tuoba Yan said indifferently, "General Jilikarang, hard work. ”

"Your Majesty, please!" General Jili Kalang led the way, leading the way with Tuoba Yan, Ye Letian and Qin Luo and others. Qin Luo came to the Zhanlu Prairie again, and he looked at the neat military appearance in front of him and was full of emotion.

When he came back, Tuoba was like a lost dog, and he was still fleeing for his life with the Qingyun Department. And now, Tuoba Yan has become the emperor of the Great Wei.

Tuoba Yan sat in the tent, and sighed, and he said to Jili Kalang with his glass: "The last time we sat here and drank was five or six years ago. Time flies, and now, I can toast with the general again in the Zhanlu steppe. ”

"Your Majesty is mighty and dominates the grassland." Ji Li Karang raised his glass, "A glass to Your Majesty." ”

The two of them drank it all, Tuoba Yan put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked Ji Likarang: "The general is here, have you stayed for half his life?" Why don't I transfer you back to Danyang City and see what official positions you have. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It's just that the minister knows how many catties and taels he has, how can he go to the imperial capital to take on a heavy responsibility. Ji Li Kalang humbly said, "The minister is more familiar with everything in the Zhanlu steppe, so Your Majesty will let the minister be here to guard the border for you." ”

General Kutulu also agreed: "The Zhanlu steppe is adjacent to Southern Chu, and there is Jili Kalang guarding here, and Your Majesty can put down the southern border." ”

Tuoba Yan said disappreciatively: "The small country of Southern Chu, it's not worth mentioning, do you still dare to attack my Great Wei?" ”

When the generals heard this, they all laughed. Qin Luo was in the middle of it, feeling annoyed.

When everyone's laughter died down, Tuoba Yan continued: "I don't worry about the south or the west now, I am most worried about the north. It is the place where the sacred mountain of our Xiangqiang people is located, although it is remote, but it is extremely important. ”

Speaking of Chishuibu's hometown, Ye Le lean held the hand of mare's milk tea for a while, and listened carefully to Tuobayan's words.

"I heard that Yeleyi has already fled with the Chishui Ministry." Alem said.

"Who knows where they fled, and who knows if Yereyi really withdrew with his people, and whether there was any ambush left." Tuoba Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I have learned the power of Second Miss Yele, so I have to guard against it." ”

Everyone nodded, and General Kutulu reported: "The minister has sent some men and horses to the north to see, and there is indeed no one left near Mount Abu Shenglan, and Yereyi has taken everyone away." ”

"This time, I'm going to go and see on the spot, and leave the garrison by the way." Speaking of which, when he was a child, he went to Mount Abu Shenglan to worship, and it has been many years since he went to the north.

Yele listened to the men's conversations, worried about his sister, wondering where she had gone, and whether she would be able to let her people thrive. I don't know what the world outside of Xiang Qiang looks like.

Tuoba Yan stayed in the Zhanlu grassland for two days, and stayed in Qinluo for these two days, running horses everywhere on the grassland. Qin Luo followed him and stopped, and he didn't know what Tuoba Yan was observing.

On the second day, after Tuoba Yan had walked through the Zhanlu grassland, he said to Qin Luo: "Look at this grassland, how is it?" ”

"It's a natural pasture with lush vegetation." Qin Luo said.

Tuoba Yan shook his head and said, "But Xiangqiang has too much pasture, I don't care about one more piece or one less." Qin Luo, what do you say about building a city in the Zhanlu steppe? ”

"Lichengguo?" Qin Luo was shocked, was this planning to learn from Middle-earth, give up nomadism, and change to farming?

Qin Luo said: "But the herdsmen are used to living in tents. ”

"But now there are not only herdsmen, but also craftsmen, as well as Chu people from the Central Plains." Tuoba Yan said, "An Jun governs the people, dominates the king, and controls the far from the near, he must first set up a city, set up a garrison, build a warehouse, and govern the arsenal." All of these things have to be realized. ”

Qin Luo was even more surprised, with Tuoba Yan's cultural level, how could he know Wu Zixu's words? Someone must have proposed it to him, and those who are familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, except for Qin Luo, only Wei Mu Basang can say this.

Qin Luo asked, "Did Wei Mu Basang propose it to His Majesty?" ”

"Exactly." Tuoba Yan nodded, "He said that if Great Wei wants to develop into a big country, it cannot just be nomadic, but should learn from the Chu people, cultivate the land and farm. He also suggested recruiting fugitive Chu people to cultivate the wasteland, and formulating taxes to emulate the system of the Chu state to manage the Chu people. ”

Qin Luo had to admit in his heart that in addition to being not very good at fighting, Wei Mu Basang still had a long-term vision, and he was extremely familiar with the Central Plains culture, and even understood the essence of the Central Plains culture better than the second prince Tuoba Ling. Qin Luo was a little depressed in his heart, could it be that there was another Tuoba Ling second to go against him?

"Your Majesty, what you said is true, but the construction of the city is not a day or two, and you have to find a special person to plan." Qin Luo said, "And it takes a lot of money to build a new city, and we ...... it now."

"I know that we don't have that much money right now." Tuoba Yan said very understandingly, "I am not going to build a new city in the near future, we just make plans first. It doesn't matter if it takes 10 or 20 years, I'm patient. ”

"Who does Your Majesty plan to make?" Qin Luo asked.

"Wei Mu Basan." Tuoba Yan had already thought of a candidate, and replied without thinking.

Tuoba Yan really chose him, Qin Luo knew in his heart, I am afraid that this time Tuoba Yan took Wei Mu Basang on a tour together, and it was also to let him make a field trip and make plans as soon as possible.

It was impossible for Qin Luo to dissuade Tuoba Yan at all, and he didn't dare to make any major decisions without authorization, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he could only do it in a hurry. Because Tuoba Yan's spies were keeping an eye on them, they couldn't send the news out at all, and they didn't know how Nan Chu would react.

And Nanchu, now he doesn't even know the news of Tuoba Yan being called emperor, just like a deaf and blind man, his ears and eyes are closed, and he doesn't know the earth-shattering changes in the outside world.
