After the frost after the oranges are particularly sweet, Yang Lin ordered people to send a lot of them to Chang'an by speedboat, Yuezhou and Chang'an have established a relatively stable transportation line, the water steamer runs day and night, about a month of travel, so the oranges picked in October, Li Er only ate them in November.

"Xiao Linzi not only has wisdom, but also courage, and went to the meeting single-handedly to solve the rebellion of the Lanmiao tribe in Xiangxi, and added a boost to His Majesty in southern Xinjiang, and did a good job." Li Er and his wife tasted the citrus that Yanglin used ice cubes to keep fresh, and there was a piece of music from Yuezhou from Yanglin and the secret guards on the case, he was now used to Yanglin's ability to change the world everywhere he went, but he didn't say much, but he was a little cautious about dividing the toast in the land of Nanban and allowing autonomy.

The former Sui left the Tian clan and Miao clan in Shuixi, that is, the later generations of Guizhou, and later there were Yizhou An's, Banzhou Yang's, Wuzhou Liu's, and Xiangxi Lan's rise one after another, these five tribes commanded hundreds of small tribes in southern Xinjiang, and the territory almost dominated half of the entire southern Xinjiang, and later Guangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces, more than seventy percent of the land is now occupied by Miao people, which is not small.

Dealing with the Miao people is one of the top priorities of the southern Xinjiang strategy, once one side of the force is allowed to be autonomous, then the best result of the other forces is to carve out territory for them to be autonomous, which is not in line with Li Er's original intention, what he wants is a completely controlled southern Xinjiang in the palm of his hand, which is also the reason why he has not really walked in southern Xinjiang in his life, although the imperial court now has a forbidden army of 30,000 people with the ability to march and fight in the mountains, but it is still far from those tribal soldiers who were born and raised in the mountains.

Yang Lin only walked half a day's journey to Xiangxi to solve the matter of Lan Miao, and knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to completely control this place now, and the inconvenient transportation would naturally form a situation where the emperor was far away and the emperor was everywhere, so allowing them to be autonomous was the only way for the imperial court to extend its tentacles into this place at present, first of all, it could save the war cost of the imperial court, as long as the relationship between superiors and subordinates was established. The so-called cultural invasion is not only the culture of literary knowledge, but also the culture of business and living habits. Song and dance performance culture and so on, when all the living habits and hobbies of the Miao people are the same as those of the Han people, they will become Han people, and become an ethnic group that does not need to be suppressed and managed by the army all year round, and such an ethnic group is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

Yanglin's 'Southern Barbarian Ping Miao Theory' chapter Li Er has read it many times, and I believe that several prime ministers have also seen it, and there are not many people who can understand it thoroughly, because there are examples of the failure of the former Sui in front of them, so they think that Yanglin's words are imaginary in Thailand. The sweet orange juice awakens Li Er from the palate. Gently smiling at Empress Changsun, Li Er opened his mouth wide again and took a bite of the half-peeled orange in Changsun's hand.

"Guanyin thinks that how many ministers in the court can agree to Xiao Linzi's proposal?" Li Er chewed on the sweet orange, because he ate too much in one bite. When he opened his mouth to speak again, the juice of oranges flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and the eldest grandson hurriedly wiped his mouth with his fragrant handkerchief, and replied with a smile: "The minister's concubine doesn't dare to look at it." However, Xiao Linzi mentioned in a private message to his concubine that he had a way to make the flesh petals of this orange into something called canned food, saying that this kind of canned orange can not only be sweeter. It can also be stored for a long time, and when we eat oranges all year round, we can eat oranges whenever we want, which is a beautiful thing! ”

"Eat when you want?"

Li Er's sensitivity to food is particularly strong, because although the grain from all over the country has arrived in Chang'an one after another, Chang'an is still in a period of food shortage, Xiangxi and Shu are citrus, but now the fastest in Datang is waterway transportation, take the waterway to Chang'an, Xiangxi has an advantage of at least half a month compared with Shuzhong.

"Yes, Xiao Linzi also said that there are several kinds of tea in Xiangxi that are not inferior to Jiangnan, and now he just collected a little bit and sent it to the palace, and when he goes to the local area, he will let the businessmen lead the production and processing, or it won't be long before the people of Chang'an City can drink the tea produced in Xiangxi." The eldest grandson laughed again.

Most of Yanglin's letters to Li Er are about political and military matters, but the private letters to the eldest grandson are about some landstyle and food specialties, and these eldest grandsons love to watch and are not taboos.

"Hehe, tea is a good thing! Listening to Lao Ma, the Hu merchants in the Western Regions who turned to Chang'an ran to the food factory to buy tea for the first time, and the price was coaxed by those merchants to rise, no wonder those Hu people like to drink tea, even I, and now I can't do without this milk tea! Li Er is in a good mood as long as he doesn't want to do political affairs, because he has eaten a lot of sweets recently, and his body has gained a little weight.

"Hu people love to drink tea not because this bitter tea is delicious, how can they be blessed to share this milk tea that they drink with their majesty, but they lack the green ingredients in the tea in their bodies, especially when the snow covers the entire grassland, they can't eat green food for a long time, their bodies will get sick, and tea can just solve their problems."

The eldest grandson's joke was thunderclapping when he heard Li Er's ears, needless to say, these things were naturally told by Yanglin to the eldest grandson, tea has such a use, so it should be raised to the height of important strategic materials as early as possible, and the species that can solve the survival problem of the northern nomads is actually in the south, and when Li Er grabbed Yanglin's 'Southern Barbarian Ping Miao Theory' again, he had a different interpretation in his heart.

The next morning, the ministers of the court had not yet stood and bowed, Li Er ordered the eunuchs to reward the officials with more than three grades of hot tea each, and several prime ministers and princes even had a citrus that looked very fresh.

"There are more than 300,000 Miao people in Xiangxi, headed by the Lan family, who are willing to make friends with the imperial court, and the heavenly concubine sent a report in Yuezhou, asking the court to discuss, and accept the land of Xiangxi into my Tang Dynasty, and seal the Miao Lan clan patriarch Lan Yu as the Tusi of the Miao clan in Xiangxi, the official is the same as the three products, the same as the marquis, and the land of eight hundred miles of Xiangxi is allowed to be autonomous, what do you think Aiqing?" Li Er's words were short and straightforward, and after a moment of tasting tea and eating oranges, the eunuchs had already passed on the origin of these tea leaves and citrus, which was Xiangxi.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and were silent, what was the emperor's intention to suddenly give tea and eat oranges? They already understood in their hearts that as the head of the hundred officials, even if they oppose it in their hearts, they can't jump out immediately and say that the face is to leave some for the emperor, besides, the advantages and disadvantages of dividing the feudal autonomy, needless to say, the officials of the imperial history department must jump out and say that their grades are generally not high, and they are suitable for playing this role.

Sure enough, the few imperial historians at the end of Wenchen stepped forward, and they seemed to have some unpleasant posture.

"Your Majesty, Yin Shang, and the Zhou Dynasty all implemented the feudal rule of the princes, and as a result, the Yin Shang was destroyed by the princes, and although the Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years, it was mostly in a situation where the princes were fighting each other and were in chaos, and the emperor was like a puppet. The Han Dynasty was a dynasty with a relatively comprehensive political system in the Central Plains and a high cultural history of the people. The minister thought that this proposal was not approved, and once the barbarians in southern Xinjiang followed suit and divided themselves into feudal autonomy, and when their strength grew to a certain extent, it would definitely bring worries to the Tang Dynasty. ”

As soon as Wang Huan of the imperial history spoke, hundreds of officials agreed one after another, especially the civil ministers who had been supporting the abolition of the feudal system of the feudal kings, they believed that the feudal system was the source of the trouble, and anyone who was qualified to ascend the throne as the emperor should be restricted from leaving the capital and not allowed to be contaminated with armed forces, as long as the princes did not have military power in their hands, then there would be no way to rebel, at least there would be no civil strife in the Tang Dynasty as during the Han Dynasty.

Wang Huan said, and another imperial historian Sun Yi played: "The barbarians don't know the culture of the Han people, and allowing their autonomy is to give them a reason to unify the interior, although there are many small tribes in southern Xinjiang, most of the time they act in the eyes of the big tribes, but they still have different tribes, and if they don't have the same interests, they will fight with each other. ”

Sun Yi's words not only made the ministers nod their heads and say yes, but on the side of the generals, the middle and low-level generals who knew some rough military strategies also nodded in agreement, and in terms of momentum, they also had to win the echo caused by Wang Huan's remarks.

Then there is Yu Shi Yu Meng, but also bluntly said that the Tang Dynasty military strength is strong today, ten thousand cavalry, the forbidden army, and the military expenses owed by the new army of the four roads in the southeast and northwest of the town have reached a very terrifying number, His Majesty should directly send many elite soldiers to kill a hundred to deter the barbarians, and then the army will build cities and roads all the way, and completely eradicate the barbarians in the entire southern Xinjiang, at most ten years, the entire southern Xinjiang will become a new Jiangnan, providing rich grain, rice, silkworms and other materials for the Han people. Obviously, he was calling for some militants in the court, and although he was arrogant, he aroused the loud praise of many belligerent generals.

There is another person in the corner, he is the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry Wang Shouren, in just two years from a barren village can not eat the village head to be able to discuss politics in the court, he can be said to be the first person in the ages in addition to Yanglin, in fact, he is not qualified to discuss politics in the court now, today is the big court, his grade is just to the fifth grade, need to go to the court to respond to Mao, is to follow the Ministry of Industry to come over to respond to the situation. Yanglin's status in his mind is undoubtedly a god, since God has such a mention, then there must be a god-like truth, Wang Shouren hugged Beban in the surprised eyes of several low-level civil officials beside him.
