In the first year of Zhenguan, although the sudden smallpox was violent, it finally passed without danger, and the matter of planting cowpox was also slowly promoted, mainly because the output of cowpox powder has not been able to go up, so the imperial court sent people to collect cattle on the grassland, not for farming, or to produce more cowpox powder.

A few months later, the people of Qingtian County were finally all planted with cowpox, and those infected with smallpox had no choice but to gather in one place to guard, not letting them run out, and it was naturally best to survive, and those who couldn't survive could only burn the corpses, after all, smallpox was too terrible, and if the corpses were buried in the ground, they might still spread smallpox.

In this case, Li Xiu finally dispatched a batch of cowpox powder and planted cowpox for the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, the blockade of the border of Qingtian County has not been lifted, but it has been loosened a lot, and Yang Nong and they can finally enter Qingtian County, and through them Li Xiu also learned that although the corn and sweet potato planting in Qingtian County has been affected by some influences, but after Yang Dui's efforts before, this impact has been minimized, which also makes Yang Nong and others relieved.

"Husband, I heard that the smallpox outside has been controlled, when are we going to move back?" At breakfast this morning, Yi Niang suddenly asked, after saying that, she also glanced at Yuechan next to her, both of them were worried about the tea workshop at home, after all, the martial law in Chang'an City has not been lifted, and they can't send people out, although Li Xiu can go out, but he has never asked about the business at home, so Yi Niang wants to move back as soon as possible, anyway, there is no danger.

"Sister Yiniang and I went together, I'm used to living outside, and I always feel a little depressed in the city, if there is no danger, let's move back to live early." At this time, Princess Pingyang also agreed, after this princess mansion was rewarded to her, she hardly lived in it, and she still preferred the life in the other courtyard in comparison.

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak, "Xiuning, Yi Niang, you wait a little longer, although the situation in Qingtian County has stabilized, but the smallpox is very transmissible, and no one is sure that there is no danger of breaking out now, which is also the reason why the imperial court has not lifted martial law in Chang'an, so it is best to wait for a while." ”

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu pause for a moment and then smiled: "It's a coincidence, our new home has also been built, but the new house is a little damp, and the weather is hot in the future, so it's best to dry it for a few months, and then we will move directly to the new home!" ”

Li Xiu's new home was built for a full year, mainly because Li Xiu put forward many new ideas during the construction, which greatly slowed down the progress of the project, fortunately, the craftsmen used were all from the princess's mansion, even if the people were panicked because of smallpox before, the project did not stop, and now it is finally completed, Li Xiu also went to take a look, most of them met his requirements, and the remaining small part is really beyond this era, so he can only give up helplessly.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Yiniang and Princess Pingyang had to nod helplessly, but at this time, Yuechan suddenly said: "Master, Madam, they can't go back for the time being, but can you take me back first, so that I can also take care of the family's property, especially if the summer harvest will be in a while, no one can take care of it!" ”

As soon as Yuechan's words came out, Yiniang and Princess Pingyang both nodded in agreement, except for the two of them, only Yuechan can call the shots in the family's affairs, and she is reliable, even if they go back, they have to rely on Yuechan to deal with the affairs of the family, especially Yuechan is also vaccinated with cowpox, so don't worry about contracting smallpox, so it's best if Yuechan can go back now.

Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Yuechan's request, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, Yuechan, you can go back, but bring more people, I will often go around the city, and tell me if there is anything then!" ”

Seeing that Li Xiu agreed, Yuechan also nodded happily, and then was pulled aside by Princess Pingyang and Yiniang, after all, she was too anxious when she left home last time, and she didn't have time to explain many things, and now that Yuechan is back, she naturally has to let her deal with it.

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation, it seems that Yuechan must be busy when she goes back this time, not to mention anything else, just the tea workshop and the summer harvest are enough for her to be busy without touching the ground, but unfortunately he really can't help much, because he doesn't know anything about things at home, and it's all these women who are busy.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw someone running quickly, and then reported to Li Xiuyu in a low voice: "Master, someone has come to the palace, saying that His Majesty wants to invite you into the palace!" ”

Hearing that Li Shimin was going to invite himself into the palace, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little strange, now that the smallpox has been controlled, it seems that there is nothing to do with him, why would Li Shimin let himself enter the palace at this time?

However, although it was a little strange, Li Xiu still changed his clothes, and then asked people to prepare horses to go to the palace, but when he came to the Liangyi Palace, he found that Li Shimin was discussing with the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui, and when he saw him, Li Shimin immediately greeted with a smile: "Li Xiu, come quickly, there is good news from the Turkic side!" ”

"Turkic? Could it be that Tuli and Jieli are fighting? When Li Xiu heard Li Shimin mention the Turks, he immediately asked with some surprise, the Turks are the biggest enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and he has proposed many ways to deal with the Turks before, in order to solve the Turkic problem as soon as possible.

"Haha~, not only did the fight start, but Tuli almost lost his life!" I saw Li Shimin laugh heartily at this time, because of the smallpox incident, he was under a lot of pressure, although Li Xiu found a solution, but the threat of smallpox can not be lifted in a short time, and now there is finally good news that he can laugh.

"Great, what's going on, please tell your majesty about it!" Li Xiu was also very excited when he got the exact answer, the Turks had been greatly injured before, and the situation between the Turks and Jieli was even more overwhelming, but if they didn't fight each other for a day, there would be a huge threat, and now they finally fought, so that they no longer had to worry about them going south.

"Hehe, this time the Turks are lively, Jieli's prestige has been greatly reduced after the last defeat, and many nobles in the Turkic country are unwilling to listen to his orders, but Jieli is not reconciled, after recuperating for more than a year, he is ready to regroup and establish his prestige as the Great Khan, but Tuli is unlucky at this time......"

With Li Shimin's narration, Li Xiu finally understood the current situation of the Turks, it turned out that after Jieli recovered some vitality, he saw that the domestic nobles did not obey his orders, which made him very angry, so he wanted to find a chicken to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey, but the candidate for this chicken easily fell on the head of Tuli, after all, Jieli has always been unaccustomed to Tuli, and he was put on a table by Tuli last time, and now he will not kill him.

At the beginning, Jieli found a very lame excuse, that is, to recruit troops from Tuli, the Turks implemented that all the people were soldiers, and the adult men in the country were soldiers, Jieli wanted to recruit soldiers from Tuli, in fact, it was equivalent to drinking the blood of Tuli, you must know that the grassland was originally based on strength, if Tuli did not have an army in his hands, it would be simply slaughtered, so Tuli naturally refused to agree, and as a result, Jieli took advantage of this reason to attack Tuli with all his troops.

"Then what's the situation of the battle now, with the situation of Tuli, I'm afraid it's difficult to be Jieli's opponent, right?" After listening to this, Li Xiu asked again, he was not optimistic about Tuli, especially after meeting on the bank of the Weishui River last time, he felt that Tuli was not a person who did big things, but although Jieli was shameless, he was not an opponent to be underestimated.

"Li Xiu, your guess is right, Jieli has been secretly preparing for a long time in order to deal with Tuli, but as soon as the two armies came into contact, Tuli lost consecutive battles, and now he is fleeing south, and it is estimated that he is likely to flee into the territory of my Datang." Li Shimin said with a smile at this time, he had already seen something from Tuli's escape route.

"To the south? Your Majesty means that Tuli is likely to ask me for help from Datang? When Li Xiu heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately understood the meaning of his words.

"Hehe, I did guess like this, and with the current situation of Tuli, there is no second person who can save him except for my Datang, so he has only one way, and that is to take refuge in my Datang, otherwise he will wait for Jieli to catch him back and cut him down!" Li Shimin also bared his teeth at this time and said with a smile, although he and Tuli are allies, but Tuli cheated him a lot of money and materials last time, so now seeing Tuli's bad luck, he also feels very happy.

"If Tuli really surrenders to my Datang, then how does Your Majesty plan to settle him?" Li Xiu also nodded when he heard Li Shimin's analysis, and then asked again.

"I have already discussed this issue with Wuji and them, this person has no ambitions, he can use high-ranking officials to envelop him, and then continue to divide the Turks under his banner, and wait until the strength of the Turks is reduced to a certain level, which is the day when my Tang Dynasty destroys the Turks!" When Li Shimin said the end, he also showed a vicious expression on his face, he is a very grudgeful person, especially last time he was almost forced to destroy the country by Jieli, which made him swear a long time ago that he would destroy the Turks in this life!

Hearing Li Shimin's answer, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, then thought about it and continued to speak: "Your Majesty keeps the Turks now, if Your Majesty destroys the Turks in the future, do you plan to use the Turks to replace Jieli and rule the grassland?" ”
