The grassland in the entire Hetao area has been divided up by the families of Chang'an, and Li Er has always remained silent about this matter, obviously, in his heart, he actually hopes that the interests of the Chang'an families can be tied to the grassland.

The families also knew this in their hearts, although they didn't say anything about it, but Li Er's silence was a kind of acquiescence in disguise, so the families who got Li Er's acquiescence began to become more and more crazy.

I don't know where I got the map of the Hetao area, so I took the map all day long, marked the places I saw at home, and expressed my wishes to Li Chengqian over and over again.

Poor Li Chengqian, he was about to be driven crazy by the representatives/cousins of these families, there was nowhere to hide, and it was not good to refuse directly in person, it was really painful.

The Hetao area is very large, so it is inevitable that there will be advantages and disadvantages, some places are rich in water and grass, some places are close to the sand sea, and the water source is scarce, which determines the quality of the grassland.

And on the contrary, these families, all of them are very greedy, holding the fattest pasture that they have circled, and coming over to roll with Li Chengqian all day long, forcing Li Chengqian to go crazy!

'provoked', Li Chengqian was forced in the end, so he had to hide in Tibet, and endured it for a long time before he didn't start a fire in front of those families!

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Zhao Chen really smiled bitterly, in fact, in his opinion, this matter can be solved very easily.

Moreover, it can also achieve fairness, justice, and most importantly, bring a large additional source of income to the imperial treasury.

"Rent it out?" When Li Chengqian heard Zhao Chen's advice to him, his head couldn't turn around, and he sat opposite Zhao Chen in a daze. frowned at Zhao Chen and asked.

"That's right!" Zhao Chen met Li Chengqian's blank gaze, chuckled and said, "The grassland is still state-owned. It's just that the pastures will be divided according to the level of superiority and inferiority. The price is clearly marked, whoever wants to rent it, rent it to him over there! ”

"High!" Li Chengqian, this product, has been in the money bank for a long time, dealing with numbers all day long, and he is alive and well like a profiteer.

Zhao Chen just mentioned it slightly, and the following details did not need to be explained by Zhao Chen, Li Chengqian had already figured out the specific operation method. Then he gave Zhao Chen a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

Without further ado, after listening to Zhao Chen's suggestion, Li Chengqian, who had just sat down, stood up and threw down Zhao Chen and hurriedly went to his residence, estimating that he was ready to go to the pit family!

The tribe of the steppe came with a murowe. There was another Hun tribe of Tiele, these two tribes, both of which were relatively small tribes, and naturally the negotiations were extremely smooth.

And since these two tribes. Successfully negotiated with Datang, and promised Datang's officials. Begin to live in their tribe, after checking and registering their household registration. The news then spread throughout the steppe.

Datang gave these two tribes who came over in advance, and they received a lot of treatment. For example, a three-year tax exemption can be made, and the mutual market can be opened directly to these two tribes.

Even, he also promised the two tribes that once they encountered something that could not be solved, they could directly rescue Datang, and Datang would directly send troops to help at that time!

A lot of benefits were promised, which simply made those tribes who were still waiting and watching dumbfounded, and this, on the other hand, was tantamount to showing the attitude of Datang.

If it is an enemy, such as the Turks and Xue Yantuo, Datang will definitely strike mercilessly, and if it is surrendered, such as the Murowei and Hun tribes, the benefits of Datang will give you you can't believe it.

Under such a combination of grace and power, and after a long silence, the tribes that were originally waiting and watching began to appear in Dingxiang one after another!

The general trend is that as more and more tribes appear in Dingxiang one after another, expressing their submission to Datang, Datang's deterrent power in the grassland has begun to become unstoppable.

Li Chengqian was also busy replanning the entire Hetao area during this time, and according to Zhao Chen's suggestion, he really divided the Hetao grassland into different levels and rented it to major families.

With the implementation of this series of policies, today's grassland is beginning to be realized step by step as Zhao Chen expected at the beginning.

Now, just wait for the beginning of spring, start large-scale construction of the city, and then, open the governor's mansion, establish trade exchanges, according to this trend, Zhao Chen estimates, within two years, the Monan area will be completely routine.

In the middle of the lunar month, when there were still more than ten days before the New Year, Li Er's withdrawal order was finally sent to Dingxiang by telegram.

Now, the grassland has been basically pacified, except for the necessary troops left, the rest of the army will all be withdrawn to Guanzhong, and Zhao Chen's Flying Tiger Army and Xuanjia Army will be the first batch of troops to withdraw from the grassland.

This time, along with Zhao Chen, those who withdrew from the grassland in advance and returned to Chang'an together were not only Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others, but also Empress Xiao and the khans of various tribes.

Now, since these tribes have all returned to the Tang Dynasty, it should be the relationship between the monarch and the Tang Dynasty, and this time they went to Chang'an together, that is, as a subordinate, the first time they saw Li Er very officially.

Outside Dingxiang City, at this time, there were a sea of people, in addition to the 2,000 people of the Flying Tiger Army and the Xuanjia Army, there were more than 1,000 people from various tribes, who left Dingxiang City and went all the way to Chang'an.

Zhao Chen was wrapped in a thick robe, and at this time, he sat on a climbing plow with Cheng Chumo, looking at Dingxiang who was gradually moving away in his sight, and suddenly took a slight breath and revealed a chuckle.

From October to Mobei, it took more than a month to fight with the Turks, fight with the Xue Yantuo people, and even give Li Er a confront, and now, I am finally about to leave the grassland, and I can't tell what it feels like.

However, fortunately, the grassland has changed little by little according to his vision, just like these tribes in the team, this time they came to Chang'an, they were collectively worshipping Li Er.

If he guessed correctly, Li Er's honorific title of Khan that day might be given by these tribes at this pilgrimage!

The name of Tian Khan originally belonged to Li Er, even if Zhao Chen did not appear, Li Er would become Tian Khan.

It's just that it's not the same as the current nature, the Tian Khan at that time was just a false name, but once the Tian Khan is made now, it will be substantial, and it really belongs to the relationship between the monarch and the minister!

The team left the grassland, and the further south they went, the more the wind and snow weakened, and especially, after leaving Shuofang, the white in the entire field of vision began to turn into the brown of winter decay.

On the grassland, heavy snow has become a disaster, but this year's Guanzhong, there is still not a single drop of snow, what does this mean, Zhao Chen is naturally clear in his heart!

When the climbing plow arrived in Guanzhong, it could not be used, the original climbing plow, all of which were discarded, and all of them were replaced by riding and carriages, Cheng Chumo was not well because of the injury on his face, so he naturally squeezed into a carriage with Zhao Chen.

The team marched towards Chang'an, and when camping halfway, Empress Xiao, who had been silent all the way, suddenly carried a bag of things, came to Zhao Chen's carriage, and handed the things to Zhao Chen.

The boxy package, Zhao Chen looked at the package handed to him by Empress Xiao, suddenly chuckled, and when he raised his head to look at Li Chengqian, he saw Li Chengqian, who was originally sitting there and talking to the eldest grandson Wuji and others, was looking at him without blinking at this time.

Not only Li Chengqian, but also the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui, all stopped talking, their eyes widened, and they looked at Zhao Chen's side, as if they had missed something.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Chen retracted his gaze, glanced at the package in Xiao Hou's hand again, raised his head, looked at Xiao Hou with a somewhat funny gaze and asked.

"The old woman has only one relative in this world!" Empress Xiao's hands, still holding the package, met Zhao Chen's funny gaze, paused slightly, and said, "The old woman hopes that she can exchange it for my grandson's life!" ”

“… That shouldn't be left to me! When Zhao Chen heard Empress Xiao's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and wanted to say that Li Er wouldn't do anything to them, but when the words came to his lips, it still became such an inquiry.

"Other people, the old woman can't believe it!" When Empress Xiao heard this, she almost didn't want to think about it, so she looked at Zhao Chen and said without hesitation, "Only you can make the old woman trust!" ”

Empress Xiao is from the Xiao family in Jiangnan, and she is naturally not comparable to ordinary women, especially the life of wandering over the years, whether it is knowledge or eyesight, is comparable to ordinary people.

Just like now, this jade seal, which has been searched for by Li Er's father and son for many years, even when it was time to take it out, Empress Xiao was not ready to hand it over directly to others.

Instead, he chose to take it out and hand it to Zhao Chen when he was about to arrive in Chang'an.

Although Empress Xiao basically couldn't get in touch with the secrets of the upper echelons when he was Dingxiang, he still had a vision, as long as he looked at the changes before and after Jieli, it was easy to guess some clues.

A person who can make His Majesty change his mind, if he wants to save a person's life, as long as the price paid is high enough, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing!

"I can guarantee that Shaolang-kun will be fine!" Zhao Chen looked at Empress Xiao, glanced at the package in Empress Xiao's hand, shook his head with a slight chuckle, and said, "However, it is better to hand over this thing to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Chengqian was over there at this time, and it was just a matter of not handing over this thing to Li Chengqian, but handing it over to him in turn, which was reasonable, and it was unreasonable.

"Why not?" Zhao Chen gave Empress Xiao a promise, and the jade seal was taken back by Empress Xiao, and as soon as Empress Xiao left, Li Chengqian, who had been staring at Zhao Chen, suddenly ran over with a roar, and asked a little frantically.

The jade seal of the country, what that thing means to their royal family, Li Chengqian knows better than anyone else, just because Datang has not been able to find this jade seal until now, so he was forced to carve another piece.

For this matter, whether it is his father or his grandfather, he is often a heart disease, but now, he can get it, but he was rejected by Zhao Chen again!

"If you dare to ask for it, I'll give it back to you right now!" Zhao Chen waited for Li Chengqian silently, and complained enough, so he looked at Li Chengqian with disdain and said coldly.

This kid was really carried away by the jade seal, and he didn't want to think about whether he could touch that thing! (To be continued.) )
