Tai Chi Palace.

In the Hall of Virtue.

Because of Li Shimin's words.

The officials were shocked for a quarter of an hour.

The oppressive, heavy atmosphere makes people feel breathless.

"Your Majesty, you ...... the lake"

The little old man Wei Zheng finally stood up unbearably.

The first began to accuse Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng stepped out and immediately shocked the entire Xiande Palace.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"

"Who is it? Who offered the method of salt production when Chang'an City was faced with the situation of no salt available? ”

"Who is it? Let the sweet potatoes with a yield of more than 40 stones per mu be planted in the north and south of the Tang Dynasty, so that the people can get rid of the suffering of lack of food? ”

"Who is it? Dedicated the printing press, so that the teenagers of the Tang Dynasty have books to read? ”

"Who is it? Launched Tang Shu and Pinyin, in the cultivation of talents for Datang? ”

"Who is it? Dedicated clairvoyance and skis, so that the soldiers on the expedition won a great victory, and at the same time, the casualty rate, created a miracle that people dare not imagine? ”

"Who is it? At the age of thirteen, he was the champion of high school, and made a sonorous oath to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of learning for the saints, and a sonorous oath for peace for all generations......"

Wei Zheng's hoarse shout echoed in the Hall of Xiande for a long time, and the aftermath lingered.

Muddy tears, big drops rolled down from Wei Zheng's eyes.

moved the civil and military officials, and at the same time made Li Shimin stunned, he was silent.

Li Shimin stood stupidly like this, staring at the stubborn little old man in the middle of the Hall of Xiande.

Wei Zheng's words hit Li Shimin's heart word by word.

It turns out that Gen'er has done so much for Datang, making the world unable to forget the merits.

Oh, yes!

Each of the things Wei Zheng mentioned is an immortal achievement.

It's only been a few years, huh?

Gen'er, I've done so much.

Do you want to continue to use him?

Continue to let him pay silently?

And enjoy the results at your fingertips?

"Your Majesty, a good omen, a good omen. This time, the Marquis of Lantian will go to the vast land in the north, and he will definitely create a prosperous and rich paradise that is no less prosperous than the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty will also be destined to become a person who surpasses any emperor through the ages......"

"The water of the Yellow River is clear, and the saint is alive. Your Majesty, you are the saint......"

The words of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng kept echoing in Li Shimin's ears.

Li Shimin made up his mind in an instant.

For the sake of Datang, for the sake of his own fame and prestige, what about sacrificing the youth of a prince?

Who made him so talented, it is difficult to find a second person in the world!

"Wei Zheng, that's enough. I've made up my mind! ”

Li Shimin's face turned pale, and he roared loudly.

"Faint king, faint king......"

"You, the Emperor of the Ages, are destined to be spurned by the world......"

"Faint king, faint king, eternal faint king......"

Wei Zheng was hoarse and had already given up his life.

Even if it is a blood-spattered Xiande Hall today, Wei Zheng must tell the truth, and if he doesn't say something, this stubborn little old man will definitely spit out half a liter of blood......

"You, you, you ......"

Li Shimin was trembling with anger, he had already imagined that the Hall of Virtue would definitely not be at peace today.

Unexpectedly, it would be so unpeaceful, Wei Zheng dared to point at him and scold.

If he commits such a crime, no matter how good Li Shimin's temper is, he will erupt.

"Come on, drag this guy out and behead ......"

Li Shimin's eyes were red, and Wei Zheng's insults made Li Shimin completely lose his last reason.

"Come on, don't drag it out......"

Wei Zheng directly took off his crown and took off his official uniform.

Then he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, it's here, in this Hall of Virtue, let Wei Zheng's head fall to the ground......"

"If so, Wei Zheng's blood can make His Majesty come to his senses......"

"Wei Zheng will also smile at Jiuquan ......"

"Do you think I wouldn't dare? Someone ...... coming."

Wei Zheng has a stubborn temper, and Li Shimin is not easy to mess with.

"Your Majesty, think twice..."

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling was the first to kneel in front of Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, think twice..."

Ma Zhou also fell to his knees with a pop.

"Your Majesty, think twice......"

Ulala, the Hall of Virtue knelt down in a large area.

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw it, he was left standing.

As smart as the eldest grandson Wuji, he immediately knelt down.

"Zhongqing, isn't it clear in my heart what Xuan Cheng said?"

"Lantian Hou, everything I have done, I have remembered everything in my heart and have never forgotten it."

"Wouldn't I, I, let him go?"

"I'm not willing to give up......"

"I really don't want to ......"

Rolling tears slipped down Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Shimin walked slowly to His Royal Highness and picked up Wei Zheng's crown and official uniform with his own hands.

He also put the crown on Wei Zheng's head with his own hands.

Stretched out his hand to help Wei Zheng up.

"Your Majesty, in that case? Why is that? Why is that? ”

Wei Zheng fell to his knees again and cried bitterly.

"Xuancheng, why is this so? Why? ”

"I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, so I naturally want to make the Tang Dynasty stronger and more prosperous, and I want the people to live a more prosperous life."

"The vast land in the north has been accepted by the Tang Dynasty for more than a year, and for more than a year, I have not cared about any ...... at all times."

"I need a person, a person worthy of my trust and trust, to govern and manage that land well, and even, where to build it as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty......"

"Let me ask Zhongqing, in addition to Lantian Hou, is there a more suitable candidate?"

"Anything else?"

"Send Lantian Hou to go!"

"I'm sadder than any of you......"

"Xuancheng, don't force me anymore, my heart is about to break......"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"Wei Zhengzhi's fault, I ask Your Majesty to severely punish ......"

At this time, Wei Zheng also understood Li Shimin's good intentions.

I deeply regret what I just said.

After all, as a courtier, he has exceeded the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

It can even be called a big rebellion, and it is not an exaggeration!

"Everyone, get up."

"I, how can I be willing to cut off Xuancheng's head? It's just an angry word! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers stood up and prostrated and shouted.

A sweaty, almost suffocating battle between the monarch and the minister finally ended peacefully.

This made Fang Xuanling also breathe a sigh of relief.

"Zhongqing, last year, I set up the Anxi Protectorate on the border between the Western Turks and Gaochang."

"That piece of land is really too big, the first governor of Anxi, every time he comes to complain, he complains about grievances."

"I, the reason why I asked Lantian Hou to expand the college and move it to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain last year, and admitted more than 2,200 students at one time, is actually to prepare for today."

"The talent of the Marquis of Lantian is very clear in my heart, and all the Qings are also very clear in my heart."

"Open peace for all generations, this is his way of being an official! I, just give him this opportunity to open peace for all generations. ”

"I, I will appoint him as the governor of the Western Regions, and on the basis of the original troops, I will give him another 20,000 elite soldiers to protect the stability and peace of the vast northwest land of the Tang Dynasty."

"If he can really create another miracle in that land, I will definitely reward him heavily......"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and others, their lips squirmed, and they didn't say anything after all.

At this time, Li Daozong also knew the true identity of Lantian Hou.

Being born in the emperor's family is a great blessing and a great misfortune!

"Your Majesty, minister, can you go and help the Marquis of Lantian?"

Wei Zheng stiffened his head again and spoke.

"Xuancheng, I understand your thoughts, but the bitter cold in Mobei, the yellow sand in spring and autumn, and the snow all day long in winter, your body is not so much to help, but to add to the chaos......"

Li Shimin's words made Wei Zheng's old face hot, but after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

"Your Majesty, since the minister is old, it is better to let the dog Shuyu go to the bitter cold land of Mobei and endure hardships..."

"Oh..."

Li Shimin hesitated a little when he heard this, nodded, and spoke.

"I, if it's right, let Wei Shuyu also sharpen and sharpen."

Li Shimin never thought that it didn't matter if Wei Zheng was approved.

Chai Shao and Li Jing also recommended their own Chai Lingwu and Li De awards.

"Yes, as long as they are not afraid of hardship, I will agree to let them go."

"Alright, no one else should recommend their own children anymore."

"In order to let Lantian Hou and more than 2,200 students leave smoothly and quietly, I let them leave overnight tonight."

"Zhongqing, this matter should not be publicized to the people, so as not to cause a scene of the people sending each other for dozens of miles, I think that the Marquis of Lantian does not want to see such a scene."

"Ministers, obey Your Majesty's instructions!"

Li Shimin strode away from the Hall of Virtue.

Because he wanted to immediately go to the academy at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

Today's early dynasty, let Wei Zheng make such a fuss, Li Shimin felt that he was indeed too sorry for Li Gen's child.

Alas!

Now, what can be done?

Good luck!

Li Shimin, as the leader of Datang, naturally hopes that Datang will get better and better in the future.

It's just that this child is suffering.

Along the way, Li Shimin and Li Junxian galloped on horseback.

Soon arrived at the entrance of the college.

The guards were all Praetorian Guards sent by Li Shimin, and when they saw His Majesty coming, they all stood straight.

Stepping into the academy, it was quiet, and it was time for classes.

"Hey, who dares to enter my Champion Academy?"

Cheng Biting Jin roared in a loud voice, and the person also walked out of the room.

Seeing that it was Li Shimin and Li Junxian, Cheng Yanjin immediately turned into a gentle little sheep.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Cheng Yanjin lowered his voice and said in a low voice.

"Father, why are you here?"

Changle heard movement outside, and when he went out, he saw that it was his father.

Seeing Changle, Li Shimin had a bright smile on his face.

"Lele, my father is here to take you back, and your mother misses you."

"Wu Cao, my sister will go back to live for a few days first, and then come back to accompany you in a few days."

"Hmm."

Wu Cao nodded vigorously.

"Junxian, you take Lele back first."

Li Junxian took Princess Changle and left the academy.

At this time, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao also came to Li Shimin.

Princess Changle was taken away by Li Junxian, and they felt as if something was going to happen today.

Sure enough, Li Shimin spoke.

"Zhijie, Jingde, Shubao. Go and call Gen'er, I have something important to tell him. ”

"Wait a minute, you three, just listen, don't speak."

In order to prevent the Wei Zheng incident from repeating it again, Li Shimin said sharply.

Qin Shubao went to call someone, and Li Shimin, under the leadership of Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, went straight to Li Gen's room.

"Father, today is not a day off, how come you have time to come."

Li Gen smiled and walked into the room.

"Gen'er, sit down and talk, I have something important to tell you for my father."

Seeing his father's dark and solemn color, Li Gen's expression became serious.

"Father, what the hell is going on?"

"Gen'er, this morning, His Majesty suddenly decided to appoint you as the Governor of the Western Regions, to govern the entire Western Regions, and to lead more than 2,200 students of the academy to leave Chang'an City tonight......"

Cheng Biting Jin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao, the eyes of the three of them were round.

What the hell is this going on?

Cheng Biting Jin really wants to open his mouth to scold his mother!

"Gen'er, for this matter, Wei Zhongcheng broke his head in the Xiande Palace, risking his own life to get His Majesty to take back the holy order."

"However, Your Majesty has made up his mind, and frankly said that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and under the whole world, except for the Marquis of Lantian, no one can be better qualified for the position of the Governor of the Western Regions......"

"Gen'er, as a father, I really don't want you to go so far away......"

Now, Li Shimin finally dropped a few drops, crocodile tears.

"Father, the child knows."

"Father should not be sad, this is a good thing, since His Majesty trusts the child so much, the child will naturally do his best to make that land a prosperous and prosperous land."

When Li Shimin heard this, the stone in his heart landed smoothly.

"Gen'er, it's just that I've suffered you, in order not to make your sister sad, my father has already taken her away in advance."

"This matter, the father also intends to hide it from your mother and brother for the time being, because the father knows, you don't want to see the sad picture when you are separated......"

Li Shimin held Li Gen's hand, and the tears rolling out of his eyes.

"Father, the child understands what you mean, and even if you don't, the child will hide it from them."

"At the moment, only grandpa lives alone in the manor, and the child wants to go and have a meal with grandpa......"

"Okay, I'll go back with you for my father."

For Li Gen's only request, Li Shimin agreed to it in one bite.

"The Divine Decree to ......"

"More than 2,200 students from Lantian Houhe Zhuangyuan College came out to receive the ......"

Suddenly, the voice of Li Delu, the chief attendant of the interior, sounded outside.

"Gen'er, I didn't expect the holy decree to arrive so soon."

"Let's go and organize the students of the academy first, and come to receive the order!"

Li Gen nodded when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Yanjin and the others.

"Trouble the three uncles, go and greet everyone, and gather in the big playground of the academy."

A scene that shocked Li Shimin happened.

Starting with the three great generals, the order was given, and all the students of the academy gathered in the large playground.

More than 2,200 students were assembled in the large playground.

It's no more than tea time.

This speed is not at all slower than the speed at which he gathered the soldiers back then.

From this alone, it can be seen that Li Gen definitely has his own unique set of management.

Li Delu, the chief attendant, finished reading the holy decree.

More than 2,200 students were excited.

Because of them, their identities began to change from then on.

From then on, they could enjoy the imperial court every month, and if they performed well, they could also be appointed as local officials by the Grand Governor, who is now the president.

"Lantian Hou, our family didn't expect it, but in just one year, you have jumped from the founding county marquis to become a party leader."

"The jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor of the Western Regions, according to Your Majesty, has reached most of the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Dudu, young and promising, it is really admirable!"

Li Delu's brain circuit is so fast, it is no wonder that he has been competent as the head of the chamberlain for so many years.

"Manager Li, I received His Majesty's decree today, the time is urgent, and there are still many things to arrange, so I won't keep Manager Li and his party......"

"Li Dudu is polite, our family thinks it won't take a few years, and our family can see Li Dudu again, returning to Chang'an City in a hurry."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kind words......"

Li Delu smiled and left.

Li Gen took the holy decree and carefully investigated, except for himself and more than 2,200 students, the other teaching assistants could decide to stay on their own.

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought it, and he definitely wanted to take it with him.

As for the others?

It's all up to them.

Li Gen arranged for everyone to continue to go back to the school to attend classes.

After he came back, he began to prepare to leave Chang'an City.

The holy decree clearly states that before dusk, His Majesty will send 20,000 troops to escort all the way, and after arriving at the destination, he will obey Li Gen's orders.

And will also send carriages and horses, which saves Li Gen a lot of trouble.

"Father, let's go home......"

"Good ......"

Li Shimin and Li Gen rode their horses all the way to the manor in the south of Chang'an City.

On the way, Li Gen told his father that he would only have a meal after he went back, and never mention going to the Western Regions and serving as the governor of the capital.

Li Shimin naturally agreed.

"Gen'er, don't you bring any of those servants and maids?"

"Father, they still have to stay and take care of our shops, if they are all taken away, there will be no one to take care of grandpa and the things in the manor."

"Forget it, just bring the red sleeves and the two maids."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this.

With red sleeves and incense, serving Li Gen, Li Shimin is somewhat relieved.

After all, these two girls used to be palace maids by the queen's side.

"Gen'er, go and bring your mother, brother, and sister for your father. Let's have a reunion dinner as a family. ”

"Hmmm......"

Arriving at the gate of the manor, Li Shimin went straight to Chang'an City.

Li Gen returned to the manor.

"Grandpa, grandson is back......"

"Hehe, grandpa's eldest grandson finally came back, it's really rare......"

Half an hour later, a horse-drawn carriage drove into the manor.

Seeing the whole family come together.

Li Gen had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

He cooks the food himself.

This time, the mountain is high and the road is far away!

I don't know what year we met!

The most surprising thing is that he has now become a big member.

Rule the entire land of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions, that's a good place.

At this moment, Li Gen has both the melancholy of parting and the desire for the future.

The lunch was very well prepared and the family was full of smiles.

Happy times are always so short.

Because of the time constraints, Li Gen had to leave the manor after lunch, taking advantage of his grandfather's inattention, with a lot of seeds of vegetables and fruits.

The two maids, Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang, would ride in a carriage and be sent to the academy by their father.

Li Gen returned to the academy, and everyone's decision surprised Li Gen very much!

Chu Mo, Chu Liang, Bao Lin, Bao Qi and Huai Dao all had to follow them to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Chai Lingwu, Li Decheng and Wei Shuyu also vowed to follow the dean.

Li Gen's heart instantly felt warm.

"If that's the case, go back to each of you."

"Uncles, if you agree, I naturally hope that you will walk with me."

"My father has agreed, let's go back and see my mother."

Chu Mo and Chu Liang took the lead in leaving the academy.

"Three uncles, are you really willing to let them go with me?"

Li Gen looked at Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao.

"What am I reluctant to give? Li Fudu is willing to let you go, and we are naturally very relieved. ”

"Besides, a few of them follow you, they are all going to enjoy happiness, if they make a few more military exploits, it would be the best."

"Three uncles, please rest assured, the military exploits of several of them are absolutely indispensable......"

"Okay, then we're more at ease."

………

Before dusk.

An army of 20,000 arrived at the entrance of the academy.

The carriages and horses distributed by the imperial court were brought with them by the soldiers.

Red Sleeves and Tim Xiang, after being told by His Majesty and the Queen's Mother, also came to the academy in a carriage.

"Wu Cao, you have to think about it, this time you leave, and then come back, I don't know what year and month it will be......"

"Senior Commander, Wu Cao has thought about it, the two junior brothers are going to follow, as a senior sister, how can she stay in Chang'an City alone..."

"If the division commander doesn't bring Wu Cao with him, Wu Cao will go on foot alone......

The little girl has her mouth open, looking very unhappy.

"Okay, just along the way, there are red sleeves and Tianxiang to accompany you, but there is one point, the land of the Western Regions is very far away from Chang'an City, if you are homesick, you are not allowed to cry your nose ......"

"Hmmm......"

Wu Cao nodded happily.

Alas.

A generation of empresses were taken to the Western Regions by themselves.

As long as she misses the time to enter the palace, her life should change!

Li Gen, looking at Wu Cao, also had all kinds of conjectures in his heart.

"Governor Li, the army is ready to go, please instruct the governor..."

An adjutant general strode to the door of Li Gen's room and spoke.

"Okay, let's start organizing the students of the academy to set off."

Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao began to organize students to leave the academy.

The three generals will not follow.

Even if the three of them wanted to go very much, Li Shimin disagreed.

The carriage for Li Gen was very spacious and luxurious.

Li Gen was the last to set foot outside the academy.

Kong Yingda grabbed Li Gen's hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Lantian Hou, take care of yourself all the way, the old man is in Chang'an City, waiting for you to return as soon as possible......"

"The master does not need to be sad, the younger generation is ordered to be with the Son of Heaven, if one day the Son of Heaven sends an edict to the younger generation to return, the younger generation must drink three cups with the master......"

Li Gen didn't know how to comfort such an old man.

"Seventh brother, eldest brother, they are here."

Li Gen raised his eyes and looked.

Du He and Fang Yiai, followed by Chu Mo, Pauline and Huai Dao, and rode together on horseback.

"Big brother, second brother, I didn't expect you two to come to see us off."

Li Gen looked left and right, but still didn't see the figure of Changsun Chong.

"Seventh brother, we are not here to see us off, we are here to follow the seventh brother to the land of the Western Regions."

"Yes, don't forget the original vows of our brothers, share blessings and hardships!"

Du He and Fang Yiai turned over and dismounted, and spoke.

"Uncle Fang and Uncle Du, do they agree that you will go with me?"

"Seventh brother, don't worry, Uncle Fang's father went to our mansion with his beloved, just so that we can accompany you."

"Although we don't have any great skills, we will definitely not become a burden to the seventh brother."

"The eldest brother is serious, with all the elder brothers with him, even if the seventh brother goes farther, he will not feel lonely......"

Li Gen turned his head, looked at the two lieutenants sent by His Majesty, and spoke.

"Let's start the journey, when passing through the outside of Chang'an City, tell the convoy and the soldiers on horseback, don't make noise, don't disturb the people in Chang'an City."

The two lieutenants respectfully took the order and left.

Li Gen also boarded the carriage, and the army and more than 2,200 students began to embark on the journey at night.

When passing by the vicinity of Chang'an City, it was late at night.

Suddenly, four dogs were running like crazy in the night.

Because they smell their master.

"Wang, Wang......"

Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hua and Xiao Huang all made sad sounds in their mouths.

Perhaps they all had a premonition that their master seemed to be leaving.

Otherwise, at noon, why would the owner stew a large pot full of big bones for them.

The soldiers in the rear were worried that the dogs would hurt people, so they immediately drew their bows and arrows.

"Stop it all......"

Ligan heard the four of them and jumped out of the carriage.

Woo woo woo woo woo ......

Although the four dogs can't speak, they also know that they are going to travel far away from their masters.

Otherwise, in the middle of the night, why would they rush all night?

Sleep well in the bed, isn't it fragrant?

The four dogs ran up to Li Gen and whimpered in their mouths.

"I don't dare to let you know that I'm going to travel far away, but I'm afraid that you will be reluctant, and after all, the four of you will find out......"

"Let's go home, this trip is too far away, and there is still a large group of your baby dogs at home......"

Li Gen had a smile on his face and gently stroked the heads of the four of them, but his heart was sour, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

It's been more than two years in a blink of an eye, and after buying them from the old man in the East Market, the four dogs have spent time with him, how much happy time he has.

I really want to leave, and I really don't want to leave.

"Woo woo, woo woo ......"

The four dogs were lying at Li Gen's feet, whimpering in their mouths, but they refused to leave.

"Okay, in that case, you guys come with me, those dog babies will also eat by themselves, with grandpa and they take care of it, I think it will be fine."

As if they understood their master's words, the four dogs stood up happily, shook their heads, and immediately changed their appearance from the one they had just done.

The four dogs have a clear division of labor, Xiao Hei in the front, Xiao Bai in the back, Xiao Hua on the left, and Xiao Huang on the right.

Li Gen's carriage has been guarded by four more dogs along the way!

………

The army marched all the way, stopping and stopping.

When I arrived at Tianmen Pass, it had already lasted a month and a half.

The gate of heaven is closed!

The world's first hero!

That is, the Jiayuguan of later generations.

In the Hexi Corridor, there is a place where any force that occupies it will dominate the Hexi Corridor, and it is Jiayuguan.

Why did Jiayuguan decide the fate of the Hexi Corridor and affect the historical trend of such a vast area?

The Hexi Corridor, which is sandwiched between the north and south mountains, has a large number of natural hazards in the Jiayuguan area, making the passage narrow and the ancients unable to make a detour.

The ancients described the location and characteristics of Jiayuguan: "The gate is between the north and south mountains!" ”

The north and south mountains refer to the Qilian Mountains and Montenegro, and the pass between the Qilian Mountains and the Montenegro is the Jiayuguan, which guards the passage of the Hexi Corridor and is the dividing line of the situation inside and outside the pass.

It is also a natural barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

The soldiers guarding the pass read the documents sent by the deputy general sent by Li Gen.

Immediately and respectfully let go.

Although the land of the Western Regions has been owned by the Tang Dynasty.

However, for the sake of safety, Tianmen Pass was still guarded by heavy troops.

There is no other reason.

If the Western Regions are in turmoil and the alien races rebel again, at best, they can only fight in the nest, and they can't beat the Tianmen Pass, and they can't threaten the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Out of the gate of heaven, continue to move forward for less than half a month.

It's as if the scenery of the whole world has changed.

The sky is so high, and the clouds are so blue.

Let the whole person follow and become broad-minded.

The wind blows in your face, mixed with earth and yellow sand, as well as the smell of fresh herbs.

The team continued to the northwest according to Li Gen's instructions.

Everyone wondered as if Li Gen had been here.

Chu Mo and Pauline asked many times, but Li Gen just smiled and shook his head.

There are some things that I really can't explain to them.

After arriving in Luntai County, Li Gen ordered a stop.

Luntai County is just a small county seat at this time, and it is not even a county seat.

However, it was the predecessor of the world-famous Urumqi in later generations.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile.

It is also a necessary place for the Silk Road.

Li Gen left 5,000 elite soldiers in Luntai, and the rest escorted more than 2,200 students to various parts of the Western Regions.

Along the way, Li Gen has already explained it clearly to everyone.

According to His Majesty's will, these people are mainly to teach the Tang Dynasty culture and popularize the Tang Shu Pinyin, so that the entire Western Regions can be completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty.

Based on their achievements, they will be promoted to full officers.

Of course, Li Gen is the real examiner.

"Brother Chumo, I want to build this place into a brand-new Chang'an City!"

Li Gen's words made Cheng Chumo jump up directly from the ground.

"Seventh brother, are you serious?"

"Just this place, at a glance, is deserted, and there is not even a decent mansion......"

Not to mention that Cheng Chu didn't believe it, even Wu Cao, who had always admired Li Gen very much, rolled his eyes at this time, and expressed serious doubts about the words of the division commander just now.

"Brother Chumo, don't worry, there will be bread and milk......"

Li Gen smiled and patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder.

"Milk is not difficult to understand, but what is bread delicious?"

As a standard foodie, Cheng Chumo's eyes sparkled.

Alas.

Li Gen was very depressed, and the generation gap with them was too serious.

"Brother Chumo, bread is baked steamed buns......"

"Seventh brother, when will we be able to eat pork? The worms in my stomach are about to crawl out......"

After listening to Cheng Chumo's words, Wu Cao felt for the first time that Cheng Chumo was so cute.

Because she has also been hungry lately, and she dreams of eating pork.

"Pork is not simple, in the near future, let's eat mutton first, and go to the people's houses tomorrow to buy some piglets."

At this time, in the land of the Western Regions, pigs were still raised and pork was also eaten.

The Battle of Hengros has not yet begun, and the real *** religion began to spread rapidly in the Western Regions after the Battle of Hengross.

That's all for later, so I'll stop for now.

Li Gen was lying on the grass, chewing a grass root in his mouth.

The sweet taste makes Li Gen sweet.

Cheng Chumo and Wu Cao were shocked.

"Teacher, it's so pitiful, I'm so hungry that I'm going to eat grass......"

Wu Cao said with teary eyes.

"Silly girl, this is sweet grass, it's sweet, and it's good for your body."

Li Gen saw that Wu Cao was in tears, sat up, and said with a smile.

Cheng Murdo is clever, Li Gen's voice landed, and this kid had already taken action.

He plucked a licorice plant, rubbed the mud vigorously on his clothes, and began to chew it heavily.

Hey......

"It's so sweet, yes......"

"Commander, how do you know what a good thing this is here?"

Wu Cao also chewed the sweet grass root beautifully, with a sweet smile on his face.

"Chu Mo, Wu Cao, our good days have just begun."

"In less than three years, I want to make Luntai the most prosperous place in the entire Western Regions."

"When the time comes, the mountains will be full of watermelons and cotton......

"By the way, Brother Chumo, have you completed what I told you?"

Speaking of cotton, Li Gen asked.

"If you go back to the Grand Governor, your subordinates have successfully completed it."

Cheng Chumo's serious appearance made Wu Cao giggle.

Next, Cheng Chumo talked about the transactions and agreements with a group of Hu merchants on the Luntai Official Road, that is, the Silk Road.

"I gave them two glass beads, this guy, a group of Hu merchants all had sparkling eyes, and they didn't do any business to Chang'an City, and they all returned to Persia to look for cotton seeds......"

"I'll also get two bags of spices!"

"Seventh brother, what is the use of cotton seeds, which is worthy of your attention?"

For Cheng Chumo to call himself the governor of the capital and the seventh brother for the other, Li Gen has long been used to it.

"This cottonseed, but it's a good thing, how much can they bring back?"

"I told those Hu businessmen that I could bring as much as I could, and I exchanged them with glass beads."

Li Gen smiled and nodded.

This Cheng Chumo is really smart enough. However, in exchange for glass beads, those Hu merchants did not suffer, and they and Persian merchants were the smartest merchants in the world.

If there is no profitable business, people will not do it.

"Report ......"

Outside the Governor's Mansion, a sound of a recital sounded.

Li Gen quickly stood up and patted the weeds on his body.

Cheng Chumo and Wu Cao naturally quickly got up.

"Come in ......"

"Governor, according to the method you taught, the red bricks have been successfully burned with paper."

Li Gen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked Chu Mo to prepare the carriage.

Cheng Chumo drove the carriage, and Li Gen and Wu Cao sat in the carriage.

Being able to be a coachman for Li Gen, Cheng Chumo is very proud.

The chauffeur of the eldest prince, isn't it fragrant? It's very fragrant.

The red bricks that have just come out of the kiln are stacked neatly.

After Li Gen got out of the car and watched, he was very satisfied.

Personally praised, a young soldier of the kiln.

"In the future, this kiln factory will be in charge of you, and the monthly salary will be doubled."

"Thank you, Metropolitan Governor......"

"Tomorrow, I will send more people over, everyone has worked hard recently, let's strive to live in a red brick house before winter comes."

"In the future, the kiln factory, every meal, at least one sheep will be killed, and everyone's body and bones cannot be lost."

Li Gen's words made everyone very happy.

To be honest, they were lucky to meet such a good chief.

"Report ......"

Outside, the voice of the messenger was heard again.

"Governor, according to your orders, the casting of the big iron cauldron has been successful."

"Oh......"

Today is really a double happiness!

When he came to the Western Regions, Li Gen forgot to bring the big iron pot of the academy in a hurry.

Fortunately, Cheng Chumo was smart and quietly put the big iron pot in the carriage.

In the whole wheel, there is only one big iron pot, which is not like words!

He is now the supreme leader of the entire Western Regions, if he eats and drinks spicy food all day long, how do the soldiers feel in their hearts?

In case an enemy army comes to attack, still count on these soldiers!

Therefore, Li Gen decided that everyone would collectively use iron pots.

Whether it's stir-fried vegetables or stewed meat, not only does it taste good, but it also has a lot of dishes.

Counting on Tongding, that thing, how can all the soldiers have a hot meal together?

Li Gen immediately asked the messenger to take a large iron pot.

On the spot, it was in the kiln factory, with a red brick pot table.

Then, Li Gen went to the barracks again, continuously supporting the pot table, with a large iron pot for every 100 people.

The iron pot forged today is definitely not enough for all the soldiers.

However, it is better to set the standard first.

The sky in the Western Regions and the sky in Chang'an City are indeed a bit different.

The days are particularly long and the nights are particularly short.

Miraculously, it's summer, but it's cooler than Chang'an City.

But there is a premise, you don't go out into the sun.

As long as there is a shade, let Suspicion, it's not summer here.

In addition, he wears a cotton jacket in the morning, wears yarn in the afternoon, eats watermelon around the stove, has a sweet silk in his heart, and has a strange climate characteristic of warm and baking on his body.

When everyone first arrived, they were a little unaccustomed to it.

Within a few days, within fifty miles of the surrounding area, all the piglets of the common people were purchased by the soldiers sent out by Li Gen.

Li Gen taught all the methods of gelding pigs.

And even the method of caring for the old sow has been taught to the local people.

Tell the people how many piglets they will buy in the coming year.

If it is an adult pig, if the people want to sell it, they can also sell it to them, and they will come to buy it.

As for the issue of taxation for the common people, Li Gen is still considering it.

Exempt? Or is it inevitable?

It's a nerve-wracking question.

Once the tax is exempted, if you want to collect it again.

It must be, a private complaint.

Li Gen also has a headache!

In this day and age, that's how true it is.

Sometimes, good people, it's really hard to do.

In the following days, new houses were erected on this land.

All the new houses have glazed windows.

The shocked soldiers were speechless.

"Soldiers, come on, the good days have just begun. If you want to bring your mother-in-law and aunt to live with you, these new houses are still far from enough. ”

Li Gen's words made the soldiers work hard.

Before winter came, all the soldiers moved into new houses.

The new house has a fire wall and a ondol and, of course, a stove.

When the first winter snow of the fourth year of Zhenguan fell.

The snow is thick enough to support the flight of skis.

Li Gen took Chu Mo and the others and set off on skis and snowboards.
