With the opening of two gold mines and a coal mine, the Turki nobles saw another way to make money, and their interest in grazing began to decline.
In order to stabilize these Turki aristocracy, with the approval of the imperial court, all the mineral resources of Toyosu were operated on a joint-stock basis. The imperial court held 51% of the shares, Li Su held 10%, and the rest of the shares were voluntarily participated by the nobles and freemen of the Tuli tribe.
This year, due to time constraints, we can only launch these projects for the time being, and in this way, the employment problem of more than 5,000 people has been solved. At the same time, urban construction has also hired a large number of laborers, and solved the employment problem of more than 3,000 people.
Li Su and the Tuli Khan (now called the king of Fengzhou) Ashinash Bobi suddenly found that if the development plan of Fengzhou was carried out, not only would there be no resettlement problem for the more than 80,000 herdsmen in Fengzhou, but there would also be a big shortage of manpower.
Ashinash wrote a piece of music, which Li Su signed, and he could recruit some experienced farmers and craftsmen from the mainland to go to Fengzhou to participate in the development of the area. Li Shimin approved the request and gave 3,000 recruits.
The grassland is rich in cattle and sheep and other livestock resources, and with Li Shimin's consent, a chemical factory was also established in Fengzhou. The leather from the slaughtered livestock was used to build a military garment factory.
The main products of the military garment factory are fur coats, leather gloves, leather shoulders, leather hats and big-toed shoes, which are mainly supplied to nearly 30,000 Tang officers and soldiers on the grassland.
Fengzhou Tang Army Barracks.
The garrison unit of Fengzhou is a corps of the border guards, 6,000 people, organized into two guards, 2,800 people each, and below are five towns, each with 500 people. The rest of the personnel are organs and directly subordinate troops.
The highest commander is the military envoy (Zheng Sipin), and now there is a political deputy envoy (Zheng Sipinxia).
Under the care of Li Su, the king of Liang, all the barracks of the Fengzhou garrison were built with ondols and vegetable greenhouses. The officers and men also wore winter leather clothing.
Li Jixing's Ministry of Culture and Military Affairs ordered a large number of winter leather clothes from the Fengzhou Military Garment Factory, and before the winter, the affairs on the grassland were basically settled.
Li Su was busy on the grassland, full of energy, and seeing that things on the grassland were straightened out little by little, his heart was very comforted. He believes that after the development of the grassland, the internal relocation of herdsmen, the development of industry and agriculture, and other measures, the grassland people and the people in the interior will gradually integrate, and it will not take many years for the entire grassland to be completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty and become the consolidated territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Today is the winter solstice.
In the temporary residence of the Thorn Mansion in Fengzhou, Li Su felt groggy in the morning, and after simply eating something at noon, he fell asleep, and he didn't know why, he felt gloomy and couldn't get his mood high.
Sure enough, Du He pushed the door in and said, "Chang'an has sent a letter, and something has happened to His Royal Highness the Prince." ā
Li Su forced himself to ask calmly, "What's the situation?" ā
Du He handed him Li Dan's letter.
It turned out that during an autumn hunting not long ago, the crown prince Li Chengqian encountered a leopard, and the war horse was frightened and threw him off the horse. Disability is a certainty.
"Damn, I'm really afraid of something." Li Su felt like the sky had fallen, his eyes turned black for a while, and he almost fell to the ground.
When Du He saw Li Chengqian's state, he was both surprised and a little puzzled, and said in his heart: "Brother Su doesn't have such deep feelings for the crown prince Li Chengqian, right?" Why was the reaction so violent? ā
Du He hurriedly supported Li Su and asked him to lie down. Then, he called Caisha to come and take care of him.
Li Su stopped him and said, "You go out first, let me be alone." ā
Why is Li Su like this?
It turned out that Li Chengqian in history, although he belonged to an ordinary person intellectually, he was filial piety and benevolence, and he was still a normal young man. Later, when he was 17 years old, his leg was broken, and since then he has low self-esteem, and under the pressure of the public, especially Li Ke and Li Tai, he gradually gave up on himself, became a pervert, and was finally abolished as the crown prince.
Li Su came to this era, and his goal was to protect Li Chengqian, help him ascend to the throne of God, and he lived a peaceful life. He was most worried about such a situation.
Li Chengqian is 18 years old this year. Li Su thought that since he was able to cross over, Li Chengqian did not have an accident last year, and it seems that history has changed. Who would have thought that Li Chengqian still had such a thing!
The inertia of history is huge, and it is not something that his little butterfly can easily change.
All Li Su's hopes for the future have been disappointed! He had a splitting headache and darkness in front of him.
Cai Sha, who rushed to hear the news, as well as Ashina Qing and others, were very worried outside the door, they didn't dare to make a sound, so they waited quietly outside. They don't know the direction of history, and they don't know why Li Su has such a big reaction.
Li Su lay down all afternoon, he really didn't know what to do, he felt that he should comfort the crown prince Li Chengqian as soon as possible, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
"Could it be that I'm going to tell him the story of Sun Bin and Wang Zuo? Or are you talking about other biographies of people with disabilities? Li said in his heart.
Judging from his understanding of Li Chengqian, this prince is obviously not a strong-willed figure, he has a cowardly temperament, is lazy, and his mental ability is not strong, and he can't withstand the blows.
But......
There is no such thing in life!
Li Su decided to return to Chang'an and encourage Li Chengqian as much as possible to cheer him up.
Li Su is now a grassland propaganda envoy, and he has a heavy responsibility, so he cannot leave the grassland casually. So he wrote a recital, sent Du He back to Chang'an, and asked Li Shimin to approve him to go back to report to work.
Li Su told Du He to visit Li Chengqian on his behalf, and by the way to see what reaction there was in the court.
Chang'an City.
As Li Su feared, since the injury of the crown prince Li Chengqian, the last term of the imperial court has undergone subtle changes.
Li Chengqian hadn't walked out of the East Palace for more than a month. His leg injury had gradually healed, but he was visibly struggling to walk, limping. He originally felt some pressure when he faced Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei. Now, the pressure on him is even greater.
In addition to Li Su, the entire Tang Dynasty cares about him more than the eldest grandson queen. Empress Eldest Sun was an extremely intelligent woman with a keen political sense, and she was now deeply worried. She was not only worried about the health of her eldest son, Li Chengqian, but also deeply worried about his future.
