Time into October, although the cold began to aggravate in Liaoxi, but everyone was in full swing, everything was on the right track, the vegetables in the greenhouse rose very well, cucumbers have begun to climb to the shelf, and the people did not doubt whether they could grow vegetables in winter, but took care of them attentively.

Qinhuangdao belongs to the Bohai Sea Bay, even if it is cold, it will not freeze, the water temperature is still as warm as ever, and the arrival of winter, the fish have not decreased, but increased.

There are only dozens of boats, for the huge sea output, it is simply not worth mentioning, a large number of dried fish from the four counties of western Liaoning were transported to Guanzhong, and through the military in a series of relations in various places, sold all over the Tang Dynasty, and the output of Lingnan accounted for half of the country.

Because Liaoxi is closer to Lingnan, Chang'an is basically fish and meat here, but the South China Sea produces more varieties, which Bohai Bay can't catch up.

For the people of Liaoxi now, eating fish is like pickles, every meal is there, breakfast is fish sauce, bean paste fish rice, dried fish at noon, and dried fish and meat at night, for the people who were not enough to eat before, it is simply a fairy-like life.

……

Liaoxi is busy, and there is a group of people who are even busier, headed by the four surnames of Guanzhong, the five surnames and seven wangs, united several families in Shuzhong, under the instruction of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji pointed out, formed an army of 50,000 and waited for the expedition to the south after the beginning of spring.

Li Shimin has now also learned to fight every minute, and all the food of the 50,000 army is controlled by the imperial court, and the weapons and equipment are also purchased from the imperial court at the family's expense.

For the sake of safety, 50,000 young men are now being trained by Li Ji in order to increase their combat effectiveness, and as soon as these people arrived in Li Ji's hands, they were immediately arranged into many political departments and began to brainwash.

Because the brainwashing of the Political Department is particularly clever, and it only mixes patriotic education in the training, the family did not find anything wrong, but it is estimated that in the future, except for some diehards, these people will become the imperial army.

Of course, none of the family is stupid, and the stupid can't live now, attacking Nanzhao, although the spoils of war have to be shared by the imperial court, but many of them will be bought with money, and the mines that have been attacked and beaten down by the imperial court are only thirty percent, but the tax cannot be less.

After calculating, the family still has a huge profit, and after calculation, the family's think tank found that there were not enough generals, mainly because there was no combat experience in the mountains and dense forests, so they proposed to borrow people from the imperial court.

It happened that Li Shimin listened to Feng Daiwen's suggestion to form a mountain army, and the two sides hit it off, Li Shimin waved his hand, Wang Xuance, and Liu Renyuan were also transferred with 2,000 soldiers sitting in Ninan.

Both of them are not very famous in the army, and the family is relieved that they will not be controlled soldiers, so they assessed the two of them again, and then asked them to command the troops very satisfied, and the other soldiers who followed were the worst to become fire commanders.

Although a lot of money was spent, the effect was also obvious, and the children of the mountain combat family also learned a lot, and the soldiers had a lot of combat effectiveness compared to before.

The snake and insect restraint drugs developed by Lingnan have also been sold to the family for preparation, and the family has many talents under its control, and naturally there are many doctors, who immediately arranged to follow the study to deal with external injuries and make medicinal materials.

With so many soldiers under the control of the family, Li Shimin had many methods, but he still couldn't rest assured, and ordered the veteran generals in the army, the Langya County Bull Show, and Niu Jinda to select 5,000 overseers and distribute grain and grass.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has embarked on another road under Feng Daiwen's incursion, Xue Yantuo and the Hui family have swept the Eastern Turks several times on the grassland, and those who can be caught have been arrested, and those who have not been arrested have fled to other places.

And the clutches of these two families are extending to the Western Turks, after all, not only can they grab a lot of cattle, sheep and horses in the war, but also the people they catch can also be exchanged for goods, weapons, Tang wine, porcelain, silk, cotton clothes, all of which are so tempting.

Whether it is a person or a tribe, they have become accustomed to a life of luxury, and it is difficult to return to the old days, when they worked hard to graze, suffered from the cold, and did not have enough to eat.

But they are not opponents of the Turks, they can only secretly make trouble on the Western Turkic border, they are also nomads, so they are naturally very familiar with each other, so they can easily find those tribes.

The Western Turks were also unwilling to provoke the Tang Dynasty, but for Xue Yantuo, the Hui people were not so polite, and they did not hesitate to fight back a few times, and for a while, several parties suffered casualties among each other, and the hatred became deeper and deeper, and it was impossible to stop thinking about it.

The Hui people are honest, after all, they said early in the morning that they would be attached to the family, and now they saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of, so they hurriedly went to the table and let Li Shimin slaughter them.

After Li Shimin consulted with the ministers of the DPRK and China, he divided the Hui people into three parts, one to help graze in the grassland, and one part to move to Shuofang County, where the people of the Tang Dynasty guided the farming, selected 20,000 elites, formed an army, and handed them over to Li Jing for training.

As for Xue Yantuo, he repeatedly asked Li Shimin for reinforcements to attack the Western Turks together, but he was all dismissed on the grounds that the Western Turks were invading the Tang Dynasty, and only increased the weapons and equipment sold to the Xue Yantuo tribe.

Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on, after all, the Eastern Turks were gone, and he Xue Yantuo was the largest on the grassland, and there were dozens of small tribes who took refuge, so they couldn't admit it, so the prestige that they had built up so hard was gone.

For the control of the grassland, not only is there the support of the clans, Zhang Gongjin's Anxi Governor's Mansion has been established at the foot of Yin Mountain, separating the tribe from the Tang Dynasty, and 30,000 new recruits of professional soldiers are guarded, even if it is a 200,000 army, don't want to take it quickly.

After the cement was produced, there were many more Wubao on the grassland, which were built by several families to ensure the safety of the people very safely, which made both a large army and a small group of invasions a luxury, and they could not steal villages as they did before the invasion of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains family habitually builds Wubao, basically a family's nest, is a small city, after all, we all know that the family's wealth is amazing, and it is impossible to represent it with a mansion, under normal circumstances, one or two thousand bandits can't be attacked, otherwise there won't be so many thousand-year-old families.

Families like five surnames and seven wangs, some directly control a county seat, or the county town is under its control, and the supervision of the people under their rule is stricter than that of the imperial court, and they can only die if they leave them through various means, such as the city under the control of the family, so the merchants are their own, only some small traders are the local people, and the people have no access to outside information, so to speak, in their old nest, the people only know the family, but not the emperor.
