Patrol all the way down.

The situation in various places is stable, and the students who came with Li Gen are teaching well in various places.

It took Li Gen a winter to tour all over the Western Regions.

Li Gen had to sigh that this land was too big.

I also have to sigh that in the era of planes, trains and automobiles, traveling far away is really a headache.

After this winter, the strength of his legs has been greatly improved.

When I returned to the Luntai Governor's Mansion, it was already past the beginning of spring, that is, it had reached the spring of the fifth year of Zhenguan.

However, after the beginning of spring here, the land is still frozen soil, and it will take at least two months to completely thaw.

Cotton seeds were finally transported by camels by Hu and Persian merchants.

A whole caravan, all transported was cottonseed.

They don't want money, they don't want food or supplies.

As soon as you bite the word, you want to exchange the glass beads.

Because of the two glass beads that Chu Mo gave them last year, the businessmen made a lot of money.

Cheng Chumo was outside Luntai City, happily trading with the merchants.

Thanks to this, Li Gen built the outer wall of Luntai last year, otherwise if he was seen by these merchants, the current situation in the city would definitely be half frightened to death.

"I have some glass jewelry here, if you want to do this glass business, but cooperate with me..."

After the transaction was completed, Cheng Chumo took out a bunch of dazzling glass jewelry, which made the eyes of a dry businessman sparkle.

What else are you going to Chang'an City?

Exchange it for glass jewelry here, go back and make money, isn't it fragrant?

After some haggling, the merchants were very satisfied with the price.

"Next time, bring more gold and silver, and I'll keep this glass ornament for you......"

Cheng Chumo's very righteous words made the businessmen smile all the time.

Watching the Hu merchants and Persian merchants leave, Cheng Chu acquiesced to the soldiers who followed him and loaded the money and cotton seeds onto the carriage.

When Li Gen saw more than 50 sacks of cotton seeds, his heart blossomed.

By this time, the snow and ice had begun to melt, and the ground was gradually starting to soften.

The cotton seeds were all soaked in warm water.

And Li Gen told everyone that they must often turn and soak the cotton seeds.

After soaking for a whole day, Li Gen grabbed a handful in his hand and scratched his nails lightly.

The hard shell of the cotton seed is already very soft.

In the entire east of Luntai City, the land has already been divided.

All the soldiers who have been established have their own areas of responsibility.

Sowing cotton is an unskilled job.

All you need to do is plan the row spacing and plant spacing, put the seeds in the soil, and then step on them with your feet.

The purpose is to let the seeds grow strong and break through the soil.

Seven days later, more than 10,000 acres of cotton were sown.

When the cotton broke through the soil, Li Gen looked at the green land with joy.

Then organize everyone to plant watermelons in the south of the city.

The watermelon seeds are the seeds left behind by the soldiers after eating the watermelon for more than half a year.

There is plenty of sunshine here, and the sugar content of watermelons that grow naturally is very high, so Li Gen naturally will not use glass greenhouses to grow watermelons.

After the watermelon planting in the south of the city was completed, soybeans and rice and more than 10,000 acres of sweet potatoes began to be planted in the west of the city.

Then, in the north of Luntai City, pear and apple trees were planted.

A month later, the entire Luntai City was wrapped in the fragrance of birds and flowers.

When I wake up every day, I breathe incomparably fresh air.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, and it didn't take a few months for most of them to turn this place upside down.

"Soldiers, now you can write a letter to your family, and when the family rolls arrive, it will also be the time for us to harvest here......"

"After the family writing is completed, the official will send someone to send it directly to the post station outside the Tianmen Pass......"

"This official will also write to His Majesty to explain the hard work of the soldiers here......"

All the soldiers cheered loudly.

In the following days, the entire Luntai City began to build the city wall again.

City, city!

A place without a siege cannot be called a city.

What's more, Li Gen has decided to make this place the political, cultural and economic center of the Western Regions.

Chang'an City has twelve city gates, and Li Gen naturally didn't dare, so Luntai and Chang'an City went hand in hand.

Otherwise, his official hat will definitely be cut off by Li Er.

Is this Li Er really?

has made himself the governor of the Western Regions, why don't you even take a fucking picture?

Well, you should also meet me, the Governor of the Western Regions, right?

At that time, his father said that because of the urgency of time and the fact that he was in the court, Wei Zheng almost vomited blood from Li Shimin.

Thinking about it now, Li Gen still seems to be a little wrong.

No matter how time is pressing, you have handed over the 20,000 army to me, and you are so relieved that you will not see you?

Also, Li Er has already seen himself!

After the end of his imperial examination, he fainted at the gate of the Tribute Academy, and he carried himself into the palace by Chu Mo.

It seems that Li Er not only saved himself, but also had a very good impression of himself......

Li Gen can only think this way in order to explain the confusion in his heart.

In the end, Li Gen decided to build eight city gates.

This is also under Chang'an City, and Luoyang City is on a par with the Eight City Gate City.

Different from Luoyang City, Luntai City, east, west, north and south, each has two city gates.

In order to meet the upcoming prosperity, it is also a three-way setting.

The most important thing is that after the siege of Luntai City is expanded, the actual area may not be smaller than that of Chang'an City.

As for the design of the enclosure of Chang'an City, Li Gen thought about it again and again, but still did not make a decision.

Because it's such a waste of resources.

Throughout the spring and summer, all the soldiers were constantly busy.

A brand-new city finally stands on this new land.

In Luntai City, all the streets are also paved with red bricks and bluestone slabs.

The construction of the Governor's Mansion is not luxurious, but the area is large, and it is located in the middle of the north of the city.

Out of the Governor's Mansion, there is a wide avenue, echoing the south city gate.

The soldiers defending the city are all equipped with clairvoyance.

And now clairvoyance, visual distance, has been greatly improved.

All this is naturally the result of Li Gen's painstaking meditation and continuous exploration.

When the melons and fruits are fragrant and the rice is golden.

The soldiers' family scrolls also came together.

Before they arrived in Luntai City, the family scrolls were stunned by the scenery in front of them.

Everyone thought that their men didn't know how bitter they were here.

What they saw in front of them let them know that where is hardship, this is to come to the fairyland of the world.

"General, I see the general's wife......"

The soldiers at the South City Gate, holding clairvoyance, shouted loudly, instantly detonating the entire Luntai City.

"Xiangxiang ......"

Cheng Chumo ran faster than a rabbit.

Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, I miss you.

You don't even know how I'm spending my days?

Seeing the old sow, all thieves Jill hard......

This is Cheng Chumo's heart, but he can't say it generously.

Miss Xiangxiang, sure enough, brought her son and came with the family rolls.

Li Shimin received Li Gen's recital and specially arranged a thousand soldiers to escort the families all the way to the gate of heaven.

Then, under the guidance of the soldiers stationed at Tianmen Pass, he led the family rolls all the way to the outside of Luntai City.

On this day, the whole city rejoiced.

Li Gen also knew that this was destined to be a night full of artillery fire.

So he ordered to kill pigs and sheep, which was called a good name, and swept the wind and dust for the people.

In fact, Li Gen is a man who feels sorry for these men.

Let's make it up to them in advance.

It's all hollowed out, who the hell is doing the work?

"Master Hou, aren't you going out for a walk tonight?"

The two girls, Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang, asked curiously.

The two of them are used to calling Li Gen Marquis, and Li Gen doesn't like to be called the governor of the capital, and he always feels uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk......"

Li Gen left the house hard.

Because if you think about it with your toes, you know what you will hear when you walk down the street.

Sure enough, Cheng Chumo's mansion, which is close to the Governor's Mansion, has already begun to do it.

The sound of silence's wheezing, and Xiangxiang's singing.

Let Li Gen thief Jill hard.

No way, he's about to be sixteen.

Now every morning is a pillar of optimus, and you can pee three feet in the wind.

Cheng Chumo, who is two years older than him, and his son can make soy sauce.

"Master Hou, it seems that Cheng Gongzi and Xiangxiang are fighting again......"

Red sleeves and Tian Xiang, one left and one right, grabbed Li Gen's arm.

The two of them were thinly dressed, which made Li Gen's qi and blood rise sharply.

"It's okay, the fight will be over after a while, I haven't seen each other for so many days, it's normal for people to fight......"

"If I'm not mistaken, let's go all the way, and every family is fighting......"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang expressed great puzzlement.

Shouldn't we get along well after not seeing each other for many days?

Why is it so serious to be said by Hou Ye?

As a result, it turned out that what Hou Ye said was very reasonable.

Along the way, there were sounds of fights everywhere.

And some of the soldiers are quite energetic.

The sound of crackling is endless......

Naturally, there was a whining cry.

"Master Hou, how can they do this? Don't you care about the soldiers? ”

Listening to the words of Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang, Li Gen was really speechless.

How do you care about this special meow?

There are two people, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

It's the time when the fight is hot, and you go to stick a rod horizontally?

It's outrageous!

Li Gen was speechless to these two untrained maids.

All kinds of sounds made Li Gen have no heart to continue walking.

No way, walk on two legs.

At the moment, the third leg has begun to protest seriously.

Trying to find the right way......

Don't say it, don't say it, it's all tears if you talk too much!

Li Gen turned around and walked back.

Cheng Chumo of the dog day is still fighting.

The sound of snorting made Li Gen want to smash the windows of his house.

"Master Hou, Miss Xiangxiang, it seems to be a very comfortable voice......

"It's definitely a little uncomfortable to play at first, everything has a process, and I must start to feel comfortable when I get used to it......"

Li Gendu blushed at his explanation.

Thankfully, it was a big night, and it was still a dark moon.

The two girls couldn't see Li Gen's already flushed face at all.

"Master Hou, why don't you beat us up too......"

After returning to the room, Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang spoke.

Although the two maids were unemployed, they thought about the movement outside just now, and knew what they were doing.

Hearing this, Li Gen looked at Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Then we have to come one by one......

… Omitted here, about 10,000 words...

The first thing to start harvesting is watermelon.

A round and big watermelon, that is called a sweet, the water is juicy, the sugar content is so high, you can feel the sticky teeth.

Under the bed of every house, there are large watermelons stuffed with them.

Even the four dogs were holding watermelons and nibbling on them to their heart's content.

When sweet potatoes, rice and soybeans are harvested.

Li Gen discovered that the granary of Luntai City could not accommodate it at all.

So Li Gen mobilized his soldiers and began to dig the cellar.

The winter here is long and cold, although there is a fire wall and a fire kang, and the room is very warm.

But there are so many sweet potatoes, and I can't put them in the room.

Most of the sweet potatoes have been stored, and the cotton peaches at the city gate are about to bloom.

Li Gen took advantage of this gap to let the soldiers and the families roll up, sowing cabbage and radishes in the south and west of the city.

As for carrots, just sprinkle the seeds in large swaths.

These species, before winter comes, can be harvested.

It is also the most important vegetable in winter, after all, with the increase of population, the output of the greenhouse is not enough to support so much consumption.

Li Gen deliberately asked the soldiers who escorted the family roll to stay for a little longer, and helped them with their work by the way, and Li Gen also had something for them to take to Chang'an City.

The first cotton picked, after being exposed to the sun, is all white and white.

Li Gen has already made a cotton elastic machine, of course, this is the simplest manual cotton elastic machine, and it is completely incomparable with those machines in later generations.

However, despite this, it is enough to make Li Gen work hard for this.

Red sleeves and incense have been able to skillfully operate the cotton machine.

The cotton is all bounced into soft and uniform cotton wool.

It's like layers of baked oil cake.

………

When the autumn wind rises, the autumn leaves fall into piles.

The soldiers who escorted their families to Luntai returned to Chang'an City.

The general who led the team, pulling a sack in a carriage. Go straight to the palace, because His Majesty has decreed that he must truthfully report everything he saw in the Metropolitan Governor of the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, General Du, who escorted his family to the Western Regions, has returned."

"Oh, let him come in!"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were playing with Li Zhi, who was more than three years old.

Hearing that the soldiers who escorted the family roll had returned, Li Shimin was naturally very happy.

Since Li Gen left, Li Shimin has not said that he has been thinking about the Western Regions day and night, at least he often thinks of him.

"The last general, Dudlin to see Your Majesty."

"Delin, come, sit down and talk."

Li Shimin knew that this question, for more than half an hour, would not solve the thoughts and worries in his heart.

So enthusiastically asked Dudlin to sit down and talk.

"Your Majesty, Luntai City, the current prosperity is really unimaginable."

"Where the melons and fruits are fragrant, the trees are shady, and the city is full of new houses with red bricks and blue tiles."

As soon as Du Delin opened his mouth, he whetted Li Shimin's appetite.

That's what he wanted to know.

In Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, in the shocked expressions.

Dudlin will tell you everything he saw and heard in Luntai.

"Delin, you say, the gift that Li Dudu brought to him?"

"If you go back to Your Majesty, it's in the last general's carriage."

"There are more than a dozen wagons of seeds, to arrive later."

"Oh, what a gift? What kind of sub is it? ”

Li Shimin's expression is as wonderful as it gets.

"Your Majesty, take a look at this recital first......

Dudlin pulled out the fold from his cuff, and brought out another letter.

"Whose letter is this?"

Li Shimin's eyes sparkled.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, this is a letter from Governor Li Dudu to the last general to send to Governor Li's father and mansion in Anshanfang."

"Oh, just leave it to me!"

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and asked for it.

Li Shimin opened the fold first and watched it carefully.

This kid is quite good at things, and he actually made a cotton coat for His Majesty and the queen's mother, and there are nine quilts to offer.

The royal favorite number is nine!

Stinky boy, he knows more and more about being an official.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curved a touch of arc and continued to look down.

Cotton seeds can relieve the suffering of the people of the Tang Dynasty in winter.

It turned out that this kid actually had ten wagons of cotton seeds delivered.

Being in the Western Regions, I still don't forget the people of Chang'an City, what a good boy.

Li Shimin put down the fold and took the letter in his hand.

The epistles are sealed.

Li Shimin carefully dismantled it.

Just after the first glance, Li Shimin's eyes became rosy.

Li Shimin took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, in order not to lose his temper in front of Du Delin, Li Shimin still decided to wait for him to leave and then watch.

"Delin, the cotton clothes and quilts offered by Li Dudu are all in your carriage?"

"If you go back to Your Majesty, it will be on the carriage of the last general, as well as a few cotton clothes from Li Dudu's family, which are also on the carriage of the last general."

"Oh, how many cotton clothes did he make for his family?"

"There are parents, grandfathers, and younger brothers and sisters......"

Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun both smiled and nodded, no matter how far this child goes, all he cares about is his family.

"Your Majesty, Li Dudu also asked the last general to bring a few bottles of sugar pear paste, saying that it must be eaten for his sister, when he said this, Li Dudu's face was quite worried......

"Oh......"

Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun both chuckled in their hearts when they heard this.

It seems that Changle has a hidden illness in his body, which was seen by Li Gen.

The reason why he didn't tell his parents was naturally because he was worried that his parents would be worried about it.

"Delin, after returning home, remember what you saw and heard in Luntai City this time, and it is best to write it down in detail for me."

"The last general, I respectfully obey Your Majesty's instructions."

Li Shimin asked Li Delu to move all the things in the carriage.

Dudlin respectfully bowed and withdrew.

After Du Delin left, Li Shimin opened Li Gen's handwritten letter again.

Looking at it, I couldn't help but cry like rain.

Reading between the lines, this kid did not have a single word of complaint about leaving Chang'an City.

Some are just concerned about their parents, grandfather and younger siblings.

"Father, I have good news for you, wait until next spring, you can be a grandfather......"

Li Shimin jumped up from the ground, startling the eldest grandson and queen.

"Erlang, what's going on?"

"Guanyin, I'm going to be the emperor's grandfather soon, I'm going to be the emperor's grandfather soon......"

"This stinky boy, yes, he didn't say anything, and he just gave me such a big surprise......"

When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she pursed her lips and snickered.

"When you were with her, weren't you also silent......

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression was quite embarrassed, he naturally knew who she was in the mouth of Empress Changsun.

Sure enough, Lao Tzu is a hero!

One generation is stronger than the next!

Hey!

Li Shimin continued to look down, this kid was still killing two birds with one stone.

It's amazing, it's amazing!

"Guanyin, this time, I am still double happy."

"Red sleeves and incense, both have ......"

Empress Eldest Sun took the letter and read it, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Red sleeves and Tianxiang are quite blessed, they are just two palace maids, but now it's good, although they can't be princesses, they also have a status better than the main room of ordinary people."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"They have a lot of credit for giving birth to my grandchildren, and according to Gen'er's temperament, they will not treat them badly."

"No wonder this kid insisted on taking them to the Western Regions at the beginning, and he had already made plans......"

Hahahaha, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"Guanyin, now that Gen'er is about to have an heir, the candidate for the crown princess will also be on the agenda."

"Erlang, the concubine will hurry up and choose the crown princess for Chengqian."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, remembering that outside the palace, there were gifts brought by Li Gentuo.

So he ordered all the people to move into the palace of the government.

"Erlang, this cotton coat is so beautiful, could it be that Gen'er gave it to me?"

"Guanyin, don't you know if you put it on and try it?"

Li Shimin has already begun to try on his own.

"It's suitable, it's so suitable, why is it so soft and ......"

"Oh, I remember, it's made of cotton wool popping out of cotton."

After the eldest grandson queen wore it, it was also very fitting.

The remaining large cotton clothes must be Li Yuan's.

Changle's is also a big red padded jacket.

Li Zhi's piece is even more ingenious, it is actually connected together.

And it's also open-crotch......

Li Gen's carefulness and intimacy made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun happily close their mouths.

Quilts of different colors, Li Shimin asked Empress Changsun to store them in the Lizheng Hall first.

A few bottles of sugar pear paste appeared in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin immediately asked Li Delu, the head of the inner chamberlain, to pass the edict of Changle to the Lizheng Palace.

"Son, please say hello to my father and mother."

Since Li Gen left, the most obvious weight loss, except for Li Yuan, is Changle.

On the second day, when Li Yuan knew that his eldest grandson had gone to the land of the Western Regions, he fainted directly.

When I woke up, it was called an old tearful man.

Such a good eldest grandson was actually sent to that kind of wild land.

Li Yuan took it for granted that someone was making a bad deal out of it and deliberately squeezing Li Gen out of Chang'an City.

Changle cried on the spot with rain in the pear blossoms, which made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun worry.

"Why? Why? Why do you have to let my brother go to the Western Regions? ”

Changle ran back to his palace crying and didn't eat anything for three days in a row......

Until Empress Changsun shed tears and told Changle about her father's suffering, even if Changle started to eat, it would be like a complete change in the future.

is no longer like before, coquettish in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun watched Changle set foot in the Lizheng Palace, so they respectfully saluted and greeted.

The two of them, how hopeful, she is still like before, throwing herself into the arms of her father and queen mother!

However, looking at Changle's increasingly haggard appearance, the two of them, knowing this child, can be regarded as holding a grudge against Li Gen to go to the Western Regions.

"Changle, this is the pear candy paste that Gen'er asked people to bring to you, but your imperial brother told you to eat a few pieces every day......"

When Changle heard this, he looked at the glass bottles filled with pear sugar paste, and his eyes flashed with joy, but they quickly disappeared.

"Changle, this is the little padded jacket that your imperial brother made for you with his own hands, and when it comes to winter, after Changle puts it on, it will definitely be very warm."

Empress Changsun handed the big red padded jacket to Changle with a smile.

Changle took the little padded jacket, picked up the pear candy paste, and after giving gifts to his father and mother, he left the Lizheng Palace.

Walking out of the Lizheng Palace, Changle hugged the padded jacket, and tears rolled down.

Elder brother... You okay?

Lele misses you so much......

Brother, since you left Chang'an City, Lele has never been truly happy.

Back in his palace, Changle hugged his padded jacket and cried bitterly for a while.

made several palace maids all panic.

When Changle was tired of crying, he hugged a cotton jacket and a few bottles of sugar pear paste and fell asleep on the bed.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother. Her Royal Highness the Princess, her eyes are swollen from crying, and now she is asleep with cotton clothes and pear candy cream......"

"Alas......"

Li Shimin sighed helplessly and stood up.

Empress Changsun is also in a hurry, and now because she is pregnant, Empress Changsun can't be too excited.

"Erlang, it's really not good, you just imitate Gen'er's handwriting, turn around and write a letter to Changle, maybe it can have an effect."

Empress Eldest Sun's words made Li Shimin's frowning brows instantly stretch.

"Guanyin, maybe this method really works."

Li Shimin said he would do it.

On the spot, he began to imitate Li Gen's handwriting and began to write hard.

"Go and quietly stuff it into Changle's cotton clothes, and be sure to deliberately let her find out that there is a letter inside."

Yuzhi, the palace maid, immediately took the letter, handed it to the palace maid who served Changle, and solemnly admonished her.

In the middle of the night, after Changle woke up, he hugged the padded jacket again, which was made for her by the imperial brother himself.

It should fit perfectly, right?

Brother, you know what? Lele has lost a lot of weight, I'm afraid it doesn't fit well.

Changle opened the padded jacket and tried to put it on.

A letter fell from the sleeve.

Let Changle immediately come to the spirit.

"Lele: Seeing words is like faces. Please forgive my brother for saying goodbye, don't blame my father for not letting Lele see my brother off, it was my brother who insisted on letting my father do this......"

"Lele, brother is all fine here, but I often think of my most beautiful and lovely sister in the world, is she doing now?"

"Lele, remember to eat a few pieces of pear candy paste every day, I hope that when my brother returns to Chang'an City, Lele will still look like a fat capital......"

"When my brother is away, I should listen to my father and mother, honor my grandfather, and love my brother......"

"Lele, brother, I always hope that you are the happiest little girl, otherwise my brother will be sad in my heart......"

Changle burst into tears and read the letter over and over again.

Finally, a happy smile bloomed on his face.

took out a piece of pear sugar paste and put it in his mouth, a sweet and silky taste made Changle smile happily.

Several palace maids shed tears of joy, this eldest princess has never smiled for a long time.

………

The cabbage, radishes and carrots outside Luntai City were all harvested.

All the soldiers led the family rolls, day and night, in the fields in turn to harvest.

This is their winter vegetable, in Chang'an City, it is difficult to eat a bite of green vegetables in a winter.

Li Gen taught everyone how to pickle pickles with cabbage gangs and soybeans.

The pickled vegetables are not only delicious, but also very good for rice.

In the winter of this year, all the soldiers' bellies grew bigger.

Li Gen was very satisfied with this.

Next year, the population of Luntai City will increase in large quantities.

At the very least, he also contributed two newcomers to it.

Even the four dogs were not willing to be lonely, Xiaohua and Xiaohuang gave birth to their second litter in Luntai City.

Miraculously, just like the first litter, each gave birth to twelve puppies.

Good guys, the puppies have just been born, and there are more than a dozen people lining up for the puppies.

If you are silent, you will need two of them.

One male and one female, frankly speaking, it is a good match.

Chu Mo's son is still coaxing on the side.

Du He and Fang Yiai, as well as Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Shubao, naturally want it too.

Li Gen smiled and agreed, it would be lively enough to have Xiao Hei and the four of them, Li Gen didn't want to turn the Governor's Mansion into a kennel.

"After the full moon, you all come and take it away, and now you are too young to feed."

This winter, Li Gen continued to take the Mo to inspect all parts of the Western Regions.

This time, instead of pedaling his own skis, Li Gen got on a dog sled.

Four dogs are really happy to be able to serve their masters.

This was the first time Li Gen had taken a sleigh, and he looked at the scenery along the way, and inspected the achievements of officials and teachers in various places along the way.

Cotton seeds have long been sent to various places by soldiers.

Li Gen hopes that after the land thaws, all suitable places for growing cotton will be full of cotton, except for growing grain and sweet potatoes.

This tour took a long time, and it took at least a few days to stay in each place along the way, and it took a lot of time on the road.

When Li Gen led the group back to Luntai City.

The land has thawed.

Three days later, Red Sleeves and Tim Xiang also gave birth smoothly.

The birth of two lovely sons made Li Gen feel and appreciate the responsibility of being a father for the first time.

The feeling of being connected with flesh and blood made Li Gen's tears of joy flicker.

Li Gen had two sons, named Li Ji and Li Xiang.

If there are two more daughters in the back, they can be connected to Li Ru and Li Yi.

However, if you are still a big fat boy, you can also arrange it.

Li Fu and Li Gui.

All in all, how auspicious how to come.

In this spring, the season of revival.

Luntai City ushered in the first round of population growth peak.

Li Gen had to sigh at the ability of people in this era to endure hardships.

There was a family roll, and it was delivered directly in the farmland.

If this is placed in the future generations, it is simply unimaginable.

Later generations were offered as early as a few months before the birth, as if they were ancestors.

After all the farmland was planted, Li Gen once again started a new round of construction climax.

The farmland outside Luntai City has a home roll care.

All adult men are required to participate in the construction of roads.

In the entire Western Regions, there is only one Silk Road, which looks like a road.

When the winter snow melts, the roads are muddy.

There is simply no place to foothold.

Road!

This was a very important decision made by Li Gan.

The simplest cement, Li Gen has already let the kiln factory to fire successfully.

A lot of cement was used in the construction of Luntai City.

Li Gen's idea was very simple, with Luntai City as the center, east, west, north and south, each building a road to the border of the Western Regions.

Of course, relying only on these soldiers of Luntai City, Li Gen's simple idea may not be able to be completed in this life.

With letters and drawings, they were sent to various parts of the Western Regions.

All localities have organized manpower and material resources to devote themselves to the construction of roads.

The original Turks, the Gaochang people, also actively participated in the construction of roads.

After all, as local natives, they are most eager to have a good road.

Luntai City, east, west, north and south four directions, cement roads have been paved for more than 100 miles.

Further north, it's a desert land.

Even if you build roads, it's useless.

Li Gen was on the edge of the desert and began to have people planting trees.

As a traverser, afforestation is now the simplest, most direct, and most effective means to prevent the expansion of the desert.

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

At the same time, it ordered all localities to vigorously plant trees in the desert and around the Gobi Desert.

This work, like the construction of roads, will be the focus of the performance appraisal of local officials.

Patches of poplar forests have sprung up in various places.

Three years later.

The entire Western Regions has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Persian merchants, food merchants, and even Roman merchants all came to Luntai to do business.

Li Gen not only did not need the imperial court's money, but also sent people to Chang'an City every year to escort a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and materials.

Li Shimin can now wake up smiling when he dreams at night.

was originally a bitter cold place, but Li Gen turned it into a paradise on earth.

And now in the court of Chang'an City, the two classes of students of the Champion Academy occupied half of the country.

This is a situation that surprises Li Shimin, Fang Xiang Du Xiang is pleased, and the eldest grandson Wuji feels frightened.

Secretly, the eldest grandson Wuji did not stumble on these new officials.

was easily resolved by the two of them.

Li Shimin even let the eldest grandson Wuji take the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the name of rotation.

The person in charge of the performance appraisal of officials was replaced by Ma Zhou, who had high hopes for Li Shimin.

It was also after Ma Zhou took office as the secretary of the ministry, all the students of Zhuangyuan College were reused.

In the spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan.

Li Ji and Li Xiang are already three years old, which is the age of running all over the ground.

And their two younger sisters, Li Ru and Li Yi.

He also giggled and followed his brother.

The two girls are just two years old, and they both have a pair of big black eyes, and they look very cute.

Suddenly, there was the sound of clattering horses' hooves.

Let Li Gen stand up reluctantly.

If it weren't for an emergency, no one would have galloped to the Governor's Palace.

"Report, the Tuyuhun army attacked our border fortress and plundered countless ...... of people's grain and horses and sheep."

When Li Gen heard this, his face turned blue in an instant.

"Biography, Cheng Chumo, Du He, Fang Yiai, Wei Chi Baolin, Qin Huaidao and the two generals stationed in Luntai City."

Li Gen asked Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang and Wu Cao to lead the four children of Ji Xiang Ruyi to the West Wing.

He and Wang Xuance bought it with Xi Jun and waited for everyone to arrive.

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought it, and cleverly brewed the tea first.

After everyone arrived, Li Gen told the story of Tuyuhun and raiding and looting the people of Biansai.

"Governor Dadu, as far as the last general knows, Tuyuhun has an army of 200,000, and at the moment, our army is scattered all over the place, and Luntai City is only 5,000 defenders."

"The last general thought that the soldiers stationed in various places could gather Luntai City, and then the army would send troops to attack Tuyuhun."

After listening to the words of the general defending the city, Li Gen smiled and nodded.

That's not what he thought in his heart.

By the time the army is assembled, it will take at least more than a month.

At that time, the Tuyuhun army must have been ready for battle.

Since they raided the border fortress and plundered the people's grain, horses and sheep, they immediately retreated.

It proves that their life is indeed not easy, and the troops sent are not particularly large.

"Xuan Ce, Jun buy. What do you two think? ”

Sure enough, it was the same as Li Gen imagined.

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai are both born military talents.

The two of them had the same ideas as Li Gen, they both advocated and immediately led their troops to pursue them, taking them by surprise.

"Okay, in that case, this official will lead the army to the expedition today......"

Li Gen's voice landed, and the faces of the two generals defending the city turned green.

The other soldiers didn't know Li Gen's true identity, but they did.

His Majesty personally told the two of them to protect the eldest prince.

"Metropolitan Governor, let the last general lead the generals to crusade against Tuyuhun, you are still in command in Luntai City......

"Two generals, don't say anything more, this officer has made up his mind, and he just takes advantage of this battle to test the combat effectiveness of our army."

Chu Mo and others were also impressed by Li Gen's arrogance.

"Fuck ......"

As a result, this group of brat who went to the battlefield for the first time.

In this way, he led the army mightily, rode his horse and whipped straight to the border between Tuyuhun and Datang.

"Teacher, leave it to me and my junior brother, you just wait here."

big

Arrive at the junction of Tuyuhun and Datang.

Wang Xuance opened his mouth and said.

In the past few years, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, in addition to learning the art of war, have been practicing martial arts.

"Governor, you can sit here, and you can also appease the people who have been robbed."

Chu Mo and the others also spoke in unison.

"Okay, this officer is here, waiting for the triumphant return of the army."

Li Gen thought about it again and again, but finally decided to stay.

He has never been on the battlefield, and he can't even use weapons.

If you follow, not only will you not kill the enemy, but you will have to distract them to protect yourself.

Li Gen stayed where he was, and the four dogs stopped.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen cavalrymen with excellent marksmanship.

Naturally, they stayed behind to protect the safety of the Grand Governor.

Li Gen looked at the four dogs, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

All this time, I have neglected a very important thing.

That is, if properly trained, they can sometimes be much more powerful on the battlefield than humans.

At this time, Luntai City, the descendants of their four generations, and the descendants of their descendants, in four years, add up to thousands of dogs.

This is definitely a terrifying fighting force!
