Chapter 17: Arrival
Chapter 17 arrives
Two days later, the roadside pedestrians in the entire Chang'an City suddenly became scarce, and they basically ran to the outside of Chang'an City to watch, and the Tubo people who came to Chang'an City had proud expressions on their faces.
The stronger Datang is, the better their life will be, and the stronger Datang is, it also means that there will be no war.
Now that even Tubo has returned to Datang, there is no threat around Datang at all, so you can imagine what their life will be like in the future.
On the long official road outside the Mingde Gate, the people who can't see the edge at a glance are on both sides of the official road are soldiers guarding the side to prevent accidents caused by too many people.
The noise was endless, looking at the long line of Tubo people, pointing and whispering.
They also all know why these Tubo people entered the Central Plains this time, punish them for the sins they committed in the Central Plains in the past, build roads and water conservancy for the Tang Dynasty, and other things.
Tubo is a country that belongs to the religious form of slavery, there are really not many rich people in Tubo, and the conditions of the people are relatively poor, and the Tang Dynasty cannot be compared at all, as long as the people living in Datang are a little hardworking, they can also wear decent clothes, not to mention that today is such a happy day, of course, it is better to dress, how to say it is to come and see them, and it is not a shame to dress badly.
The long journey of Tibet, coupled with the climate on their side, was full of sallow, wrapped in a layer of sheepskin jackets, and their eyes did not glance at the people who were watching them along the way, and they could see their deep envy from the depths of their eyes, especially the towering city wall not far from them.
For many people, the Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the richest place in the world, the people here can be well fed and clothed, this is heaven, I really envy the people here, but think about it, they also remember the Tang Dynasty's policy towards Tibet, as long as they serve for a few years, they will become Datang people, enjoy the treatment of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and if they behave well, they can be released in advance.
Thinking about it like this, their hearts are much more comfortable, and their eyes have become less humble, anyway, they will be Tang people sooner or later, they are all the same, there is no big deal, and they will be able to wear satin clothes at that time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." All the people hurriedly saluted Li Shen, who was riding a horse and stopped in front of the Mingde Gate, and shouted loudly.
Li Shen smiled and stretched out his hand and waved.
"The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Du Gou and the others took a group of gentlemen from Chang'an City, smiled and saluted Li Shen and shouted.
Li Jingheng hurriedly trotted over, stretched out his hand, and said, "Brother Prince." ”
Li Shen stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and jumped off the horse.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Dongzan walked over and shouted with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face.
"Lu Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Li Shen asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, everything is fine with the minister." Lu Dongzan replied, and followed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is now just an ordinary official of the Tang Dynasty, and this is not worthy of the title of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"What is there to be worthy, if you don't have to manage these people, it's still safe to be a prime minister according to your talents." Li Shen replied, followed by looking at the giggling gentlemen in front of him, and said, "Don't laugh, you are not ashamed, you are not ashamed, you are still ashamed, you are not in shape all day." ”
Facing Lu Dongzan, he said, "Have you chosen the candidate from Tubo?" ”
"It's been selected, but they are all the magnates of Tubo, His Royal Highness the Prince, you also know that there are also these people who can understand Chinese, and others can't understand it at all, the ministers are in charge of their own affairs, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me." Lu Dongzan bowed and said.
Li Shen nodded and said, "This is as it should be, you can just look at this matter, you must pay attention to the coordination matters, and the affairs of the people are stable, and only you can carry out them." In addition, you and they cooperate with each other to supervise, including the quality of work, food, but if there is any violation, you can go to the prince's mansion to find orphans. ”
Lu Dongzan nodded slightly, originally thought that their Tibetan nation was going to disappear in the long river of history, but he didn't expect that everything was different from what he imagined, but he came to Datang for a few years of manual labor, and after a few years, they were free, and they could choose to live in Datang or go back to Tubo.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is still something that the minister doesn't know whether to say or not."
"What's the matter?"
"That's so many people, and most of them are in the prime of life, you know this man ......"
"You said you'd help them find women?" Li Shen smiled and looked at Lu Dongzan, who was full of embarrassment, and asked.
Lu Dongzan nodded slightly, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you also know that nothing will happen in the short term, but once this time is long, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble." ”
"You can find women for them, but it also depends on their work performance, and if they perform well, they can do women's things alone, but they can't do it in a short time, at least until next summer." Li Shen said lightly.
Man! What's more, it's a young man in the prime of life, it's easy to do bad things if he holds it for too long, and even now there are still military prostitutes in the army, but some of them are not easy to do! This Goryeo cannot be conquered for the time being, otherwise it can still be easily solved, and the surrounding small countries are basically from the mountains and forests, and some are not easy to fight.
Li Shen sneered in his heart, it seems that there are only a few tribes on the grassland, especially those tribes in the north, none of them can be kept, they are the ancestors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other can be killed by mistake, and he will definitely not let the people of those tribes live.
Stretched out his hand and touched his chin, but those tribes are now under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and some of them are not easy to do! It seems that they have to find an innocent charge for them, and after they go back, Wu Meiniang and they can discuss it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Cheng Chuji shouted with a stupid smile.
"You didn't go to the barracks?" Li Shen looked at him and asked.
"I didn't go, I feel that you are right, it is better to study hard for a few years first, and then wait for you to arrange things for me to do." Cheng said with a weak heart.
Seeing Li Shen staring at him with a smile on his face, Cheng Chuji lowered his head with a blushing face, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect to go in and not even give the door out, it's too lonely to go for a few days, I can't stand it." ”
