Tu Li's heart was tight, and two years later, once the Great Sui government issued the title deed, those Hu people became Sui people, owned land, and lived a stable life, and from then on they would definitely work for the Great Sui; Tuli suddenly understood, what is called sleeping under the couch, which is the current Yingzhou and Anzhou. Everyone laughed all the way to Anyang Palace, Tuli's entourage was all placed in the nearby camp, the two commanders went to see the armor, and the Tuli couple followed Cui Baoshan to a small hall in the palace.

Yang Chong, Xu Shiji, Xiao Yu and others were waiting, Yang Chong and the other Tuli couple sat down after the salute and said: "When I came out, I didn't know that you were overjoyed, and I didn't have time to prepare gifts. I don't care what Huainan princess you are sealed by Yang Zhengdao, what I care about is that you are the righteous daughter of the Son of Heaven. ”

The things in Fanyang Palace looked much better than those in Lou Fu Palace, Princess Huainan smiled and thanked her, and Tu Li asked impatiently: "King Yue, tell me your true intentions." ”

Yang Chong said with a serious face: "I came from Chang'an to meet you for the millions of Hu people in the northeast, don't the Qimin Khan and Shibi Khan all want to take their clansmen to live in the Central Plains?" We are now helping you realize this ideal and build Mobei and Northeast China into the Central Plains. I heard that Jieli Khan was planning to build thirty-six counties, and we were worried about the difference between the ideal and the reality, and I hope to be able to assist you in completing this plan. ”

The Turks and Huainan princesses almost thought that they had heard it wrong, helping the Turks to build, did Chang'an have such good intentions? But Yang Chong's voice continued, real and strange: "I heard that your Yaqi occupies eighteen counties, and our current ability is limited, but we can help you build two counties in Khitan and one county in Yanya, and we will start a war and trade in these three counties." In addition, in the last negotiations, Jieli Khan has agreed to hand over the Xi people to the Great Sui for disposal, and we will discuss with the Xi people, and if there are people who are willing to join the Turks, they will be handed over to you to deal with; What we don't worry about you is that you collect taxes too arbitrarily, and it is easy for the merchants to run away and force the small tribes to flee. ”

Yang Chong really understands the situation, Tuli is such a person, so it makes the Khitan, Xi and other Hu people in the northeast unsettled, and Tuli said: "I can change it." ”

Xu Shiji shook his head with a smile and said, "Tuli Khan, it is difficult for those soldiers under your command to change their habits. ”

The Great Sui naturally did not want to change suddenly, so that it would not be possible to unite the various ethnic groups; Princess Huainan understood the psychology of her countrymen, and said simply: "King Yue must have something to say, you might as well say it and listen to it." ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said: "Seeing the princess, I have a little more confidence. I conceive it this way, we can first try to include taxes in these three cities, and the Turks, local tribes, and the Great Sui form a merchant group, and give Yaqi a lot of money or things every month as a share of the tax; The rest is taken care of by the local tribes, the Turks don't care, and we don't care about the Great Sui, of course, during the tax package, the Turks can't ask for things from these cities. ”

Tuli smiled bitterly: "I agree, I'm afraid that these places won't be able to pay taxes at all." ”

The Turks were telling the truth, the Turkic tax collectors had always been from the Zhaowu Cities, and they were all good hands at squeezing water out of dry towels, and if such a method could be adopted, the Turks would have to wait until now to reluctantly start; Yang Chong praised: "The khan is indeed a kind person, but his personal skills are different; You see that this is feasible, if you are willing to adopt, during the tax package period, the insufficient part will be made up by the Great Sui, and we will sign it every ten years. ”

Princess Huainan instantly understood that this was a copy of Fengzhou's coins, but Fengzhou was the territory that the Turks got from Li Tang, and the Liaohe River and Baishan West were the Turks' own lands. Yang Chong's hand is really powerful, if Yang Chong is allowed to govern for ten years, there will definitely be nothing Turkic in those cities, and the banner of the Great Sui will be planted long ago; No wonder Yang Chong will come over in person, this kind of big pattern, I'm afraid that a famous general like Xu Shiji can't handle it well.

Tuli obviously understood, knowing Yang Chong's bad intentions, but he couldn't hide his desire to change the face of the Turks and his curiosity, Tuli shook his head and said: "The process of learning always has to pay a price, we manage it together, if you really can't collect it, then change the method." King Yue, do you think it's okay? ”

If Yang Chong said no, then it means that the Great Sui wants to grab the land and really rule the Xi and Khitan to deal with the Turks; Yang Chong was full of confidence, pointed at Cui Baoshan and said: "Since you are worried, then you will be in charge, Master Cui will serve as the supervisor of Songmo Jiao City, responsible for the affairs of the three cities; I hope that you Yaqi can hand over this matter to Princess Huainan so that we can communicate. We have a pilot tax package in Wuzhong County, which is responsible for three people: Sa Xi from Persia, Wendal from Kangguo, and Lu Yan from Fanyang Lu's family. ”

The request to hold Princess Huainan responsible was not too much, and there was no one under Tuli who understood this, so Tuli readily agreed; As for the three of them, Tuli has seen them, and Saxi and Lu Yan are more familiar, but Tuli chose Wendal in the end, because there are quite a lot of Sogdians in Turkic, and Tuli feels that Wendal is easier to control. Yang Chong immediately asked people to call Sun Aocao of Chishan County, Dahe Mohui of Songmo County, as well as Wei Chixiao, Sa Xi, Wendal, and Lu Yan.

Everyone came in to greet Yang Chong and Tuli, and one by one they sat down in the positions that had already been determined, and Cui Baoshan introduced the situation that the two sides had discussed before; Sun Aocao and Da Hemo were happy to see Yang Chong settle the Turks, although they defeated the Turks last time, but the fear of the Turks still exists, lest there will be sequelae, and now that the knot is untied, it is a relief.

In particular, the Dahe Mohui agreed with the views of the Turks more conceptually, and remained wary of the Han and Xianbei people, so they were very much in favor of the Turkic prudence, and could not let the Great Sui easily play the northeastern ethnic groups. Therefore, all parties have no problem with all parties in the tax package, the key to the problem is how to build these cities, how to develop, and you can't wait for three or five years to collect taxes, the Khitan, the Great Sui can afford to wait, but the Turks can't afford to wait.

Xu Shiji came up with a plan, that is, Pinggang City in the Qin and Han Dynasties and Raole City in Xianbei, the foundations of these two cities that have been abandoned for hundreds of years are still there, namely Chishan County and Songmo County, and then the surrounding pastures are divided into these two tribes, so that they can each build the city as a crushing field and recruit residents. Xu Shiji said to Sun Aocao with a smile: "Chishan County is the southernmost part of the Khitan, and anyone who crosses Chishan County will be killed." ”
