Chapter 52: Self-inflicted

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him skillfully collected the weapons, bows and arrows on the ground, and escorted the soldiers aside. The cost of these weapons was extremely low, and they disdained to use them in the Tang Dynasty, so they confiscated them, and they were also entrusted to the imperial court, and they were thrown into the furnace to be re-smelted and forged, and they became the most famous war knives in the Tang Dynasty.

A few soldiers who knew how to graze and herd horses even called directly to the sheep and horses, and took everything away in one go.

"General, what should be done with these captives?" Yan Pei's eyes flashed with a bit of bloodthirsty light, he hated the Turks to the core, so he wanted to kill all the Turks together. Because Luo Shixin has a precedent of slaughtering the Xi people, he also tactfully expressed his meaning.

Luo Shixin knew what he meant, and laughed: "When will the Turks kill or not, these guys who don't have the slightest will to fight, what's the point of killing?" Keep it and keep it for the trade of Elolus. ā€

Yan Pei was a little regretful, but thinking that under Luo Shixin's command, he was still worried about the Turkic killing? When I think about it this way, I am relieved and not dwell on this issue.

Stepping into the territory of Shuofang, Luo Shixin looked at the fields on the edge of Shuofang City.

The vicinity of Shuofang belongs to the northern region, which is more suitable for animal husbandry than farming, but the Han people are a farming-based ethnic group after all, even if they are in the grassland, they cannot change the habits of this ethnic group.

They had cultivated farmland suitable for cultivation in the grasslands near Shuofang, but now the fields were full of potholes, stones, and traces of trampling by thousands of horses.

Obviously, because of what Liu Min and Liu Lan sent people to do in order to take Shuofang, all the fields in Shuofang became abandoned under their interference. The grains were not harvested, which led to the tragic situation in Shuofang City. Thinking of the people in Shuofang City, they agreed more with Ma Zhou's mention.

Just before the dispatch of troops. Luo Shixin suddenly got Ma Zhou's request to see him.

"General, if possible, my subordinates hope that the general can spare the Turkic people in the steppe of Shuobei."

Ma Zhou's mention of yƬ is difficult for Luo Shixin to force.

For the sake of the overall situation, Luo Shixin spared the army of Golulu Sili and his party, but he was murderous to those Turks who were already in Shuofang. The original plan was for him to drive away the large army of Golulu Sili, and Su Dingfang directly attacked the Turks in the Shuobei steppe and annihilated them from Shuobei.

Ma Zhou wanted him to let those Turkic people go. It seemed to him something incredible, even a woman's kindness.

But according to what he knows about Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou is an excellent politician. Even his heart was black, and the woman's kindness could not be seen in him, so he let him continue.

"Liu Min and Liu Lan are really too damaging to Shuofang, and the general is the governor of Xiazhou. He is also the military and political power of Xiazhou. This Gyeongju, Suizhou, and Yanzhou have been governed by the Tang Dynasty for many years. The government decree passed, and the general, as the governor of Gyeongju at the time, could not be dry in government affairs. It has its own subordinate and subordinate officials, and it is properly handled. But Xiazhou is different, this Shuofang has been fatally hit by our dynasty, the population is sparse, and the fields are barren. Since the general is also in charge of government affairs, he has the obligation to develop Shuofang. ā€

Ma Zhou deserves to be Ma Zhou. It is very Fan Zhongyan's style of worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world.

Luo Shixin devoted his mind to military affairs. It is true that Shuofang's government affairs have not yet been considered. Maybe it's because Gyeongju, Suizhou, and Yanzhou don't need him to worry about it, and they have their own three-state assassination history to deal with, so they ignore their own government affairs.

Now the government affairs of Xiazhou are in the hands of Liu Min and Liu Lan, and when he takes over as the governor of Xiazhou, the two will be transferred to the south to serve as assassins, and Xiazhou's qiē will be handled by him with full authority.

How to deal with this, Luo Shixin Mo said that he didn't have a clue at all, but he didn't think about it.

Fortunately, he has Ma Zhou in his hands, and the value of an excellent subordinate is also reflected here.

Ma Zhou not only thought about this problem, but also sorted out a series of governance plans with his outstanding political talents.

This people take food as the sky, and if they want to develop Shuofang and truly become a military base for the decisive victory of the grassland in the Central Plains, the first priority is to develop the fields.

Only when there is land can there be hope.

The fields around Shuofang are dry fields, which are extremely difficult to cultivate, and the yield is too low due to manual farming. If you want to achieve results in a short period of time, you need enough cattle.

It is impossible for this Datang to invest too much ploughing cattle for Shuo Fang to reclaim the dry land that has been barren.

Ploughing cattle can only make them think!

The exchange of Turkic captives for ploughing cattle was the reason why Ma Zhou wanted to save the lives of the Turkic people.

Luo Shixin naturally persuaded Ma Zhou, and he still remembered the miserable situation of the people in Shuofang, and he almost dismissed him for this reason.

Three thousand Turkic people, according to the current situation, even if they are released to the Turks, they will not be able to make any big waves, but the cattle exchanged for trading with them can make the Tang people of Shuofang live a good life, and this transaction is worth it.

Now passing by Shuofang's field and seeing the scene of Shuofang's field, he is even more determined to do so.

This is to enter Shuofang City, and the scene in Shuofang City is much better than when he first came in.

The people who came and went were energetic and energetic, but because of the destruction, none of the shops on the street were open, and no merchants were willing to come here to do business.

Luo Shixin did not have much distress about this, but was full of confidence.

He is indeed a novice in government affairs, but he has Ma Zhou, and Liu Renliang, the former is to assist Li Shimin in building the Tang Dynasty's noble political family, and the other is a prime minister who has made great achievements in governing Baekje. As a superior, the wisdom of his subordinates is his wisdom, with them, why worry about the uncertain governance of Xiazhou?

I went straight all the way to the Shuofang Residence.

Liu Min and Liu Lan, who heard the news, came out bitterly to greet them, looking at Luo Shixin, who was sitting on the horse, and the two of them thought about their respective appointments, and their hearts were cold.

They never imagined that this would be the end.

"Hello to the two thorns!" Luo Shixin naturally didn't have any good feelings about the villain behind these two people, and he didn't get off the horse, and said with a bit of arrogance and mockery.

Liu Min and Liu Lan were promoted, but the assassin history was more powerful than their Xia Governor Shi and Xia Zhou Sima, but there were many kinds of states.

Liu Min was arranged to Yizhou, and Liu Lan was arranged to Rongzhou, both of which are prefectures and counties close to ethnic minorities, which are located in the south of Datang and belong to remote areas that are not in the main development zone.

This is far away in the sky, and the future of politics is bleak.

In fact, with Li Shimin's wrist ability, he knows who has the greatest credit for this Shuo Fang. If Liu Min and Liu Lan don't play this play, they will definitely be rewarded and reused, but if they are not right, they move stones and smash them to their feet, and they will suffer for themselves.
