Guo Zigao spared no effort to promote this crop in Henan, and officials in Longyou were enthusiastic enough about the new species after tossing and turning sugar beets. When the harvest of the 100 acres of experimental fields in Tianshui, the Qiang people from the 111 counties who came to visit were stunned when they saw the yield of potatoes. Knowing that the seeds are limited and can only be expanded one county at a time, the Qiang people in various places can no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and have sent people to the king of Yue to present the Qiang people with heavy gifts and good horses, hoping that their counties can try to plant first.

Guo Lun said with a smile: "In less than a month, more than 300 good horses were sent to Kunming Pool, and I went to the Science and Technology City to pick up the goods and got a blue-maned horse." In the end, the king of Yue had no choice but to decide to send 25 Qiang tribes from 11 counties and the envoys of Tuyuhun into Beijing. The Ministry of Rites has made a list, and the party items Baqiang, Minshan Liuqiang, Bailan, Baigou, Fuguo, Wuqiang, Faqiang, Yak Qiang, Baima Qiang, Tsing Yi Qiang, Chipai Qiang, Shenwolf Qiang and Ran Luqiang have all sent representatives. ”

Yang Qi came to his senses and asked, "Is there a big deal?" ”

Guo Lun nodded and said: "King Yue is going to set up a Qingqiang money village to be responsible for business with these places, if the household department can't do it, we will do it ourselves, Yu Qintao, Wei Yuanzhao, and Yang Xuan will all come back during the conference." Now it depends on how the Ministry of Rites talks to these tribes, and I heard the old man say that this business is as big as the business of Qinghai Fang back then. ”

Yang Ciyou snorted and said: "You have learned badly with Yang Chong, you are all powerful people in the DPRK and China, and you are all in the eyes of money all day long, competing with the people for profit. ”

Guo Lun said indifferently: "Yang Chong's business did not delay him to fight the world, Wei Yuanzhao and Yang Zhuo often said that they are another army of the imperial court, killing the enemy between talking and laughing, and making decisions thousands of miles away." Let's just say that Tuyuhun has been played around by Wei Yuanzhao and Li Wenxin's Sabao Mansion over the years, although Tuyuhun's life is getting better and better, but Murong Fuyun never dares to turn his face, why, he just knows that without Da Sui, the people under him will be chaotic. ”

Yang Qi agreed: "The cattle, barley, and saffron on the plateau are only collected by Wei Yuanzhao and Li Wenxin, and they can be exchanged for money when they are sent to Qinghai County and Haixi County. However, if it weren't for Li Wenxin's Sabao Mansion in charge of the elite soldiers of the three counties and the Qinghai Qiang tribe, Fu Yun would probably still try his combat effectiveness; Besides, these century-old families, which one is not in business, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter. ”

Yang Shanjing suddenly thought of the development of Yang Chong and the Turks, similar to Tuyuhun, Yang Chong also played like this, but some details were different; Could it be that Yang Chong has the same means behind him to attract the Turks to separate. Yang Ciyou remembered the situation when Yang Guang was bothered by Qinghai and other places, shook his head weakly and said, "What good way does Yang Chongneng have?" In addition to potatoes, it can satisfy the food of the Qiang people. ”

"Then you're wrong." Yang Gaoping walked in from the outside and said: "It's decided, the political hall has officially decided to set up the Songpan Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Songpan Metropolitan Protectorate has jurisdiction over Maozhou and Victoria in Shudi, Dangzhou in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, and Yizhou and Railzhou in the north of the Minjiang River. Yang Chong's idea was that if he didn't want to be a Han Chinese, he could go to those five states to live his own nomadic life, and he was willing to arrange all the attached ones in eleven counties on the spot, half-farming and half-pasting. ”

Yang Gaoping was born a princess, and now she is a princess, dressed in noble clothes, full of momentum, and sat in the reserved empty seat when she came in; Yang Ciyou stared at his sister for a long time before he said slowly: "You have so much confidence in Yang Chong, why does he think that the Qiang people will listen to him." ”

Yang Gaoping said with a smile: "I just listened to Cui Chuzhi and Du Fuwei's analysis, Dangxiang Baqiang and Bailan, Baigou, Wuqiang, Faqiang, and Baimaqiang were placed by Yang Chong in Qinghai, Haixi, Jiuquan, Yiwu and other counties, and they have long been accustomed to the life of half-farming and half-herding. Minshan Qiang, Qingyi Qiang, and Chipai Qiang are now settled down in Luzhong, Wudu, Didao, and Longxi one after another, at most, the vassal country, the yak Qiang, the Shenlang Qiang and the Ran Luqiang do not agree, but the vassal country and the Ran Luqiang are all building their own houses to live in the valley or hills, and they should have entered the farming by themselves. ”

Yang Shanjing slapped the table, and finally went to Songpan to leave the yak Qiang and the wolf Qiang who lived there, Yang Chong must have used business to trap the large and small tribes of the two Qiang, and encircled the Qiang tribe into his sphere of influence. Without the Qiang people, the population of Tuyuhun is a fish without water, no wonder I can't see Fu Yun's actions over the years, the original situation has been so bad; The establishment of the Songpan Protectorate is actually to dispel the last hope of Tuyuhun's revival.

Yang Ciyou motioned for Yang Shanjing to be quiet, and asked Yang Gaoping in a low voice: "Why use the state?" ”

Yang Gaoping took the wine glass handed over by the maidservant and said: "So I said that Yang Chong's head doesn't know how to grow, he said that the state is specially set up for the Hu nationality, and the following is not a county, but a village and a town." Only a county can be established within a radius of 20 miles and 12 villages, a military town with more than 1,000 people can be upgraded to a county, and only a county with more than three counties can be established. By the way, the Yue Wangfu also issued a list of Qiang commodities, including saddles, bracelets, ornaments, stone carvings, wood carvings, lacquerware, carpets, Qiang embroidery, etc. ”

Yang Ciyou gasped and said: "Yang Chong wants to start a workshop among the Qiang people, this is really a good business, the Qiang people have been wandering for hundreds of years, but they can't form a strong force, so they will rely on all kinds of people." There is absolutely no problem with attaching to the Central Plains, the key is that the livelihood cannot be solved after being annexed again and again, Yang Chong can be regarded as solving a problem, Yang Qi, when you start the workshop, count Yang Dong as one. ”

Yang Shanjing didn't know how he finished this meal, and returned to the post house to say to Lu Jilan, Lu Jilan changed color and said: "As long as the conference opens, Tuyuhun has no other way but to bow his head." Lord Yang, our situation is still good, because the territory is still in our hands, once it is defeated like Tuyuhun, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over, so we must take precautions. There is also the potato, I have eaten it with no mental strength, and said that the yield per mu is more than 2,000 catties, Lord Yang, I thought I was not living in Dasui when I heard it. ”

Yang Shanjing patted Lu Jilan on the shoulder and said: "The situation is not so bad, just like Li Shimin said, when Chang'an completes this leap, it will be when we are in trouble." Now there is still a chance to have a chance, before leaving, I will talk to Yang Chong again; Obsessiveness is definitely not ready to go back to Turkic, you can also think about it. ”
