Alcohol restrictions? Zhang Xuān said this. Everyone was taken aback, including Li Tan.

The Tang Dynasty is a country of poetry, drinking, singing and dancing, and drinking and having fun has become an indispensable part of the daily hoeing of the Tang people, just as ordinary as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But Zhang Xuān actually wants to implement a liquor restriction order!

Li Tan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Xuān with incredible eyes, but immediately, he sighed lightly in his heart and understood the true intention of Zhang Xuān's liquor restriction order~ Brewing consumes a lot of food, and the Tang people from bureaucrats and magnates to ordinary peddlers and pawns drink happily, and the daily consumption of alcohol is not a small amount. If you limit winemaking and drinking, you will definitely save on food consumption.

However, such a decree will certainly be met with strong resistance from all levels of government, and its implementation will not be so simple.

Moreover, reducing the scale of winemaking will definitely bring about a sharp rise in the price of liquor and raise the overall price, which will inevitably interfere with the steady development of Longshuo's economy Zhang Xuān's move is suspected of patting his head.

Of course, Li Tan is not the only one who has this mentality. Li Guangbi and other generals basically see it this way.

It's just that in the face of Zhang Xuān's power and strength, no one dared to stand up and openly oppose it.

Zhang Xuān smiled, did not explain, and did not bother to explain.

In his opinion, the alcohol restriction order can only be a temporary decree for a special period, and it will not last long, what he needs to do now is to use strong means to enforce it, and in two years, all the grain produced by Longshuo will be used for the expansion and supply of military horses, as for the temporary economic turmoil, it can be ignored.

He is well aware that in this era of kingship, the importance of food for development is incomparable. After all, one can not drink, but not eat.

In the next step, he wanted to expand the army and attract a large number of people to Longshuo by opening up wasteland and tuntian, which would be difficult to accomplish without abundant grain reserves. Therefore, the alcohol restriction order has long been in his making, and he just took the opportunity to launch it today.

The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat oppressive and dreary.

Although everyone did not speak, maintaining a solemn and awe-inspiring attitude, Zhang Xuān actually understood very well in his heart, and they were all a little disapproving.

"This king knows that you are a little dissatisfied with the alcohol restriction order, and this king can tell you a word from the heart, this matter, this king has been thinking about it for a long time, and it is not a hot head. In the next step, whether it is to consolidate the border defense or vigorously cultivate the fields, a large number of people are needed, and the importance of food is self-evident. ”

Zhang Xuān's gaze swept over Li Guangbi and the others, and said lightly: "This king thinks that for the sake of the overall development of Longshuo and the perpetuation of the Tang Dynasty, it is nothing to let the officials and the people control their mouths a little within two years.

"You can die if you don't eat, but you can't die if you don't drink, right? Hehe! Zhang Xuān chuckled, "Reducing the consumption of alcohol by half, you can save a lot of food, and you can feed countless soldiers and civilians, you can calculate this account." Li Guangbi and the others hurriedly came out of the ranks, bowed down, and shouted in unison: "Handsome and wise!" ”

"Hehe, everybody, please get up. It doesn't matter whether the king is wise or not, but it is very important that the decree is unimpeded and the order is forbidden. If someone violates the law and affects the implementation of the alcohol restriction order, you can blame the king for not being merciful. Although Zhang Xuān's voice was faint, all the generals were in their hearts, and they bowed down again and led loudly, "The handsome and wise generals dare to disobey their orders!" ”

Li Yin sat there and watched quietly, Zhang Xuān's words and deeds were invisibly spread, and the generals' sense of awe for Zhang Xuān had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Aware of this, Li Tan couldn't help but exclaim: Zhang Xuān had not been in the army for a long time, but his authority and prestige in the Longshuo army had reached a peak, which was obviously related to his successive victories over Tubo and his leading army to invade Tubo and take Tuyuhun's hometown!

Zhang Xuān and Li Tan, the king of Jianning, were stationed in Hezhou, and Li Guangbi originally prepared a grand dinner to entertain the two, but because of Zhang Xuān's wine restriction order, this banquet was over.

On the same day, Zhang Xuān's three decrees were issued one after another from the capital of Hezhou, ordering the entire Longshuo area.

The first is the liquor restriction order, the state capitals and counties have halved the ration of wine-making grain, and the metropolitan governor's office has introduced detailed xìng system supporting measures to restrict the purchase and sale of liquor at the source. For folk drinking, it is not excessively restricted, but for the officials and generals who eat the imperial court Dai Lu and even the whole army, the amount of alcohol is regulated in detail. For example, you can't drink alcohol during the day, and you can't drink alcohol on non-major festivals and weddings and funerals.

The second is the military cantonment order. Order all the soldiers and horses of Longshuo to be in the tuntian, the deputy generals of the state guards serve as the tuntian envoy and the governor of the tuntian, and half of the military horses are tuntian pioneering, and the three-month period is rotation. The army pioneered the field called "Juntian", the grain produced by the military field was uniformly allocated by the Dadu Governor's Office∨ Xuān ordered the establishment of a military envoy within the Dadu Governor's Office, and Shi Zhouxuchu, the governor of the Dadu Governor's Office, served as the ambassador of the Longshuo Juntun.

The third is the immigration exemption order. All immigrants who moved to Liangning Prefecture from all parts of Longshuo and Qinghai were exempted from the six-year levy.

As soon as the three decrees came out, it can be said that some people were happy and some were worried. Of course, immigrants from all over the world are happy to live in Tuntian and build new homes, and their expectations for a better life in the future are even fuller. Some bureaucrats, on the other hand, are very depressed and can even be said to be very dissatisfied.

It's just that as soon as the Metropolitan Governor's decree comes out, whoever dares to disobey may have resistance behind it, and a face-to-face collision cannot happen.

Zhang Xuān accompanied Li Tan to stay in Hezhou for a few days, and received visits from some local military and political officials who had rushed from the first-line state capital of Hejiao. Li Tan came to Longshuo to inspect without a specific purpose, so he didn't say anything about Zhang Xuān's arrangement.

The news that Zhang Xuān was crowned King of Pingxi and the son of Li Heng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, led a delegation to inspect the Hejiao Prefecture led a delegation to inspect the Hejiao Prefecture also spread to the borders of the Tubo Kingdom, and the spread of this news was inevitable.

When the news reached the city of Luoqi, Stanley, who had just sat on the throne of Tibet, was furious on the spot after hearing the news, and even pulled out his sword in anger and killed a shì girl who knocked over a wine cup.

In Stanzhu's view, Zhang Xuān's glory today is the greatest shame for him and the whole country of Stanley and Tibet.

Zhang Xuān not only defeated the Tubo army led by Stanley in the city, but also led the army into the territory of Tubo with great arrogance, galloping across the country of Tubo and making chaos as if entering a no-man's land, and even more, he also seized the hometown of Tuyuhun from the hands of the Tubo defenders!

The name Zhang Xuān has become a nightmare for the whole country of Tibet.

"Uncle, immediately pass on the order of this king, and order Gyatso on the front line of Hexi to lead 10,000 troops to the south and Jinchuan

The novice on the front line led an army of 10,000 to the north, and the king himself led 30,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to attack Tuyuhun's hometown... When Zhang Xuān and Li Heng's son arrived at Tuyuhun's hometown, our army attacked in three directions, surrounded the Tang army, and fought to the death with Zhang Xuān's Longshuo army and horses! ”

Stanley yīn stood up with a calm face, the scimitar in his hand was stained with blood, he threw the bloody scimitar on the ground, and looked murderously at his uncle Dong Zebu, who supported his ascendancy.

Dong Zebu is the state minister of Tibet.

Dong Zebu frowned and said softly, "The king is angry." The king has just ascended to the throne, the situation in our country is unstable, at this time, raising a large army to start a war with the Tang people, it is not good for our country≥ but victory, it will also greatly damage the vitality of our country, it is really more than worth the loss. "Dong Zebu is telling the truth. Although Stanley killed his father through a military coup and won the throne of Tibet, the resistance forces in Tibet are scattered all over Tibet, and Stanley has not yet fully controlled the power of the country.

Stanley sneered, "Uncle, the shame that Zhang Xuān has brought to this king and the whole country of Tubo, this king swears to die!" ”

"Besides, Tuyuhun's hometown is a land of abundant water and grass, and it has always been a nomadic place for my army, if you don't take advantage of the Tang Army's unstable foothold, it will be difficult to recapture it in the future. Uncle, this king has made up his mind, please pass on this king's military order! If anyone does not obey the orders of the king's army, there will be no forgiveness! The evil aura in Stanley's eyes had risen to a peak, and he had almost lost his mind.

Dong Zebu knew that it would be difficult for him to persuade him anymore. Stanley was something he grew up watching, and he was not a multiplicative solution to Stanley's xìng oak.

If you can defeat the Tang army and recapture Tuyuhun, Stanley's throne will be stable. At that time, recuperate for three or five years, and then plan again! Dong Zebu gritted his teeth, got up silently and bowed his hand, "Okay, I'll go." Looking at the back of Dong Zebu leaving in a hurry, a sneer appeared on the corner of Stanley's mouth.

He again arranged the war, and the shame of bloodwashing was certainly a factor, but not the most important.

In Stanley's view, this battle is indispensable ♀, and it is good to be able to win a battle, but if he can't win, he is still the biggest winner.

First, he wanted to use this battle to cut off Gyatso, the leader of the local army guarding against the Tang army in Hexi, and the town of Jinchuan

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the novices guarding against Jiannan, with the help of the Tang army, eliminated the potential hidden dangers of these two unruly and unruly supporting other Tibetan princes.

Second, he wants to completely destroy Trisong Detsen's vitality. Tri Song Detsen is still confined in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, although it seems that he has lost the opportunity to return to China and make a comeback, but as long as Trisong Detsen is alive, Stanley's heart will not be stable. Therefore, he wants to start another war and become a mortal enemy with Datang. Under the anger of the Tang court, Chisong Dezan was sure that Xìng's life could not be guaranteed.

But he wouldn't tell Dong Zebuming about these unsightly plots.

In fact, Dong Zebu couldn't guess Stanley's thoughts, but just pretended not to understand.

Out of the splendid Tubo Palace, Dong Zebu sighed lightly, looked back at the top of the majestic snow-capped mountain, and his mood was very complicated and dignified.

Eradicating dissidents is something that every new king has to do, but it is really heart-wrenching to lose tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers and horses because of this!

But Dong Zebu also knew in his heart that both Gyatso and the novice of Jinchuan were against the Stanley regime and would become a disaster in the future. In this case, it is better to take the opportunity to remove the two of them and die, and Stanley's throne will be secure. @。
