Ever since Li Chengqian crossed over, he has been insecure.

After all, this era does not belong to him.

At first, he was absolutely wary of everyone in this era.

I can't believe anyone, even if he left Chang'an at the beginning, he took Liu San and the others away, just to use them to survive in this world.

As for Changle, he regarded it as his talisman.

Why?

Because from the bottom of his bones, he can't regard himself as Li Er's son.

But in the past year or so, he has changed a lot and grown a lot.

At least, he dared to trust many people now, let alone be wary of the people around him all the time.

But this change is something that has only happened to them for a long time.

Whether it is trust or affection, it takes time to precipitate.

This is like why he trusts Puxiruo and Yi Yuanfeng, who are of different races, and the father-in-law Yuan, who has almost watched Li Chengqian grow up since he was a child, has come from thousands of miles away, but he has to guard against it.

Because of the people of Puxiruo, it is the relationship of trust established with him, but Gonggong Yuan is the relationship of trust established with the former Li Chengqian.

It's as simple as that.

Li Chengqian is willing to spoil Changle as a sister for the rest of her life, but she is also the daughter of Empress Changsun, Changle and Chengyang are definitely different from Li Chengqian.

Therefore, Li Chengqian never trusted Li Er.

For Li Er, he has no foundation of trust at all.

And, most importantly, the current Ming court is like a plate of delicacies full of color and fragrance, too fragrant.

Really, it's so fragrant.

What does Daming have?

Daming has all kinds of weapons that make any emperor salivate!

Daming also has a variety of crafts far beyond this era.

Whether it is the pure alcohol of Daming or the cheap paper of Daming, even the dishes of Daming are rare and unattainable in this era.

Therefore, whether it is Li Er, Murong Fuyun, or even Li Yuan, as long as any of them win the Ming Dynasty, they will all get a qualitative leap.

If Murong Fuyun won the Ming Dynasty, it would not be a problem for Tuyuhun to double his national strength, and at that time, he even had the ability to resist the Tang Dynasty, at least for a few more years.

And if Li Er wins the Ming Dynasty, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be invincible, and at the same time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will skyrocket in an instant.

Don't forget, the goods produced by the Ming Dynasty are not an exaggeration to say that they are the most sought-after goods in the world.

As for Li Yuan's purpose, Li Chengqian didn't know yet, but he also knew that his titular Azu was definitely not at ease.

Even, even Tubo stared at Daming's piece of fat.

In other words, today's Daming is actually surrounded by wolves, and if he is not careful, he will be swallowed by people and there will be no bones left.

Li Chengqian is very clear about this.

It is precisely because of this that he wants to quickly strengthen his body.

Only if they are strong enough, these people will not easily hit themselves with ideas.

Of course, the current situation, relatively speaking, the threat from Li Er is the least.

Li Er wants it, but if he wants it, his appearance will not be too ugly.

The second is Li Yuan, although Li Chengqian doesn't know what Li Yuan's purpose is, but with Li Yuan's current strength, he can only make some small moves in secret.

….

After that, it was Tibet.

Although Tubo is a wolf, it is a pity that this wolf is now too busy to take care of himself, and with the containment of Subi, Tubo is not able to go north for the time being.

Finally, there is Tuyuhun.

However, Tuyuhun is also waiting for an opportunity, in the final analysis, Li Chengqian's identity as the prince of the Tang Dynasty has really given him a lot of convenience.

It was precisely because he figured out these things that he decided to make a move on Tuyuhun.

There's not much time left for him.

It's not that he has to plot against Tuyuhun, but if he doesn't plot against others, they will definitely plot against him after they have eased up.

"Horse Inheritance." Li Chengqian sighed and said.

In this world, after all, the weak eat the strong, and since he has shaped the Ming Dynasty into a plate of fragrant meat, he must take such a risk.

But it's also a paradox.

If he didn't develop the Ming Dynasty, would the Ming Dynasty be able to get to where it is today?

He had already been overturned by those hungry and crazy herdsmen, and he had to flee back to Datang in disgrace.

So, he actually has no choice.

It is inevitable to get to this day.

Not long after, the horse industry came.

Since the end of the war with Subi, the horse industry has been idle again.

They're not spies, they're scouts, and when there's no war, there's not much going on.

"Your Highness." Ma Ye smiled and said.

Seeing the wind and snow on his body, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Practicing again?"

As long as there is no war, they are practicing at most.

Ma Ye smiled: "It's just moving your muscles and bones."

Li Chengqian didn't ask more questions on this issue, but said, "I won't practice today, gather your command, and you will have something to do right away."

"Yes." When Ma Ye heard this, he immediately replied.

Li Chengqian said: "After years of snowstorms, Tuyuhun is already unstable, coupled with the changes in Watering River County, this winter, Murong Fuyun is afraid that it will not be easy.

However, when the internal contradictions are stimulated to a certain extent, he will definitely turn the internal contradictions into external contradictions, so as to condense the overall strength of Tuyuhun and resolve the internal contradictions at the same time.

Therefore, this winter, Murong Fuyun is very likely to wave his troops south.

And on the grassland, in the past, Lidayan Mangjiebo secretly supported some tribes, and Murong Fuyun couldn't do without it.

Although they are now the subjects of my Ming court, and we are trying our best to appease and even influence them, it is inevitable that there will be some stubborn stubborn elements.

Therefore, this king needs you to bring people to find out these people.

This king knows that this is not your strength, but this is also a helpless thing, and now there is no better place for the Ming court to do this than you."

Li Chengqian is really helpless, and there are so many people under his hands, and he is still a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will definitely complete the task." Ma Ye said immediately.

Li Chengqian nodded: "This king will ask Wu An to cooperate with you, you only need to find out suspicious people, even suspicious people, and don't do anything else."

However, before Murong Fuyun waved his troops south, there must be a result, and for this, you don't even need evidence, as long as you think he is suspicious.

….

After finding out, the list can be handed over to the king.

Another thing you have to remember is that you can't cause commotion and panic among the people, let alone secretly arrest people and torture them to extract confessions.

As soon as he heard Li Chengqian say this, Ma Ye immediately understood, and nodded immediately.

Although this may affect their work, His Highness does not want evidence, as long as the list, so to speak, this gives them great rights.

But those who are not right-minded, just this errand, it is definitely fat.

On the other hand, this is also Li Chengqian's trust, and he is not a confidant.

Li Chengqian is actually helpless.

He didn't dare to ask for any evidence at this time, if he really wanted to make everyone know, then people would definitely be panicked, and if someone with a heart publicized it, there might be some chaos.

Therefore, as long as he is listed, whether it is or not, as long as there is a suspicion, he will be treated as him.

As for how to deal with these people, Li Chengqian has his own arrangements.

Soon, the horse industry left.

As soon as he left, Li Chengqian summoned Puxiruo and the generals of the Western Army and the Resentful Army, and he wanted to change the clothes of the army.

Since a major war could come at any time, it became a top priority to prioritize the armies.

"See Your Highness." And all of them bowed in unison.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Today, this king asked you to come in order to change the clothes of the Western Army and the Resentful Army.

And as the two most elite armies of the Ming Dynasty, the burden on your shoulders is not light.

This time, this king is ready to let the expeditionary army and the resentful army be replaced with four generations of crossbows and other weapons, and in the future, even if Tuyuhun does not go south, we will also go north to completely eliminate this hidden danger!"

This is not the first time that Li Chengqian has said this to them, and everyone is no stranger to this.

For them, they are happy to play Gu Hun, and they are very happy.

Tiele Department and Tuyuhun are feuds, and He Li has been waiting for this day for a long time.

And Chishuiyuan was tossed into that ghost by Murong Shun at the beginning, and they also counted this account on Murong Fuyun's head.

It's just that now that they are going north, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not enough, which is what they are most worried about.

Although speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty claims to be able to mobilize 100,000 troops at any time, hehe, what about the people needed by the 100,000 army? What about grain and grass?

Besides, Tuyuhun really wants to mobilize, and it is definitely stronger than the forces of the Ming Dynasty.

"The king knows what you are worried about." Li Chengqian said, "But you must know that even if we don't have a heart for Tuyuhun, when they come to a better time, they will also have thoughts about us, which is inevitable.

Today's Ming Dynasty is a fragrant dumpling in the eyes of others, and everyone wants it.

The reason why no one has done anything to us until now is not that we have really deterred them, but that they themselves are constantly in trouble.

It has never been the king's style to sit back and wait for death, and since there is danger, then choke it in the bud."

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Your Highness gives an order, the last general and others will definitely lead my warriors of the Ming Dynasty to clear all obstacles for Your Highness." Qi Bi He Li said at the moment.

….

Although he also felt that the time was not right, Da Ming was not stable, but he knew his identity, as a general, it should be like this.

Yi Yuanfeng and others also immediately expressed their position, while Wan Qipu and Pleubez were excited.

They like to fight so much.

"Now there are 20,000 troops in the Western Army and 10,000 troops in the Resentment Army, which is already the most elite 30,000 soldiers and horses in my Ming Dynasty." Li Chengqian said, "This time, after the two armies change their uniforms, they will first become proficient in the new ordnance, and then seize the time to practice.

Pu Shangshu, from now on, the food and salary of the two armies will be increased by one percent, and these are all to protect the hundreds of thousands of people of our Ming Dynasty, and they must not be short of their food and salary."

"Your Highness, rest assured, this Weichen understands." Puxiru nodded immediately.

Li Chengqian also said: "In addition, from now on, the household department will start to prepare for the storage of grain in Zhenbei Prefecture, and in addition to grain, other strategic materials should also be properly prepared.

And after the resentful army changed its clothes, it rushed directly to Zhenbei Mansion, even if it was a drill, it was also practiced in Zhenbei Mansion."

"Yes." Ihara said immediately.

They understood what Li Chengqian meant by this.

After Zhenbei Mansion began to hoard strategic materials, whether it was to prevent Tuyuhun or Qiu Bowen, the resentful army had to go north.

In the final analysis, it is still the wealth that touches people's hearts.

After explaining some affairs, Li Chengqian asked Qibi He Li and Yi Yuanfeng to take people to prepare for a costume change.

But Puxiruo was left by Li Chengqian.

"The Tibetan envoy has found you?" Li Chengqian asked. Eight one

Puxi smiled and said, "Back to Your Highness, I have already looked for Weichen before, but the business and trade exchanges between the two countries are not something that can be negotiated with a simple chat."

Since he took up the errand of the Tobe Shangshu, Puxiru has become more and more like a miser.

However, this is also normal, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Ming Dynasty is from his account

Go up, as the so-called family does not know the price of firewood and rice, after becoming the head of the household, he is relieved every time the household department enters a sum of money, and he will complain every time he makes a payment.

"Don't put it off." Li Chengqian said, he guessed that this old guy was going to drag Tuyuhun down.

After all, these old guys didn't have the slightest good impression of Murong Fuyun.

Puxi was stunned for a moment, he was not surprised that Li Chengqian saw his thoughts, he didn't hide this matter in the first place, he was curious that His Royal Highness actually did not curb the trade with Tuyuhun.

Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Doohe County has become chaotic, and what is the root cause of their cholera? It's the interest.

At this time, Murong Fuyun stretched out his hand again, and this chain of interests was interesting.

However, let's put aside the trade transaction with Murong Fuyun for the time being, and we will have to put some thought into it.

First of all, one thing must be certain, that is, you can't support the enemy, and you are not allowed to go out of the cold materials such as gloves and cloaks.

The same is true for Dohe County, which will not be allowed to leave the country in the future.

If they ask the reason, they can tell them directly, and my Ming court itself is not enough.

But materials like music boxes and dressing cabinets that are more enjoyable can only be sold.

….

The more we sell, the more we get, but the more they buy, the more money and food they consume.

And, who are they going to sell to?

Naturally, it was sold to those nobles in Tuyuhun, and where would those nobles find it back after they consumed the money and grain?"

"Make amends from those ordinary people?" Puxiru understood in an instant, and immediately the whole person was stunned.

Your Highness, this is dying, calculating Tuguhun.

If this is the case, Tuyuhun will complain sooner or later.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "So, don't drag it out, hurry up and finalize this matter." Sell as much as you can, for us, these things are neither edible nor wearable, they are of little use, don't treat them like treasures, you know?"

Even if Puxi nodded, it was a good thing to exchange these things for some money and food.

After Pu Xiru left, Li Chengqian began to organize the existing information and make a detailed plan.

This busy work is several days.

And in the past few days, Puxiruo has also reached a consensus with Tuyuhun's envoy.

Tuyuhun's envoys didn't expect this matter to be finalized so quickly.

In the following period, Li Chengqian arranged all kinds of affairs.

Among them, the most important is the people's livelihood, this time, Li Chengqian directly opened a medical center in the fifteen cities of the Ming Dynasty.

Langzhong, who defected from the Tang Dynasty before, also came in handy this time, and almost all of them were assigned by Li Chengqian to the city medical centers, in order to make these people go willingly, Li Chengqian also wasted a lot of effort.

It's an official position again, and it's Houlu again, and Li Chengqian threw it out.

Whether Murong Fuyun waved his troops south, or he raised his troops to the north, the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty was the most important.

And the Ministry of Industry was really not idle during this time, in order to let everyone in the Ming Dynasty have the work to support their families, dozens of projects were tossed back and forth.

Relying on the workshop alone will not be able to feed these 300,000 people, at least not for now.

It's not a question of production, it's about sales.

Anything that overflows will lose its value in the first place.

Take the dressing cabinet as an example, it can sell a few times now, but if you really want thousands of dressing cabinets to be pulled to Chang'an, can you still sell a few times?

Scarcity is expensive.

Therefore, the only one who can really provide a large number of jobs for these people is the Ministry of Industry.

Although the work provided by the Ministry of Industry is much more tiring, it has come to this point, who dares to be picky?

It's nice to be able to support your family.

Don't believe it, even if you have to work in the ice and snow in the winter, everyone is doing a good job.

No one even complained.

……

And when the Ming Dynasty was developing steadily, Dohe County was in chaos.

Since Murong Fuyun asked King Dingcheng and Murong Xiaojun to strictly investigate smuggling together, King Dingcheng didn't care about anyone, so he set his sights on Murong Xiaojun, or rather, this guy was sincere in causing trouble for Murong Xiaojun.

As long as Murong Xiaojun's caravan comes back from the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely investigate it over and over again on the grounds of strict investigation of smuggling, anyway, it is a toss.

In the process, he would even indulge his men to deliberately sabotage the things that the caravan had brought back.

….

To put it bluntly, I haven't even drunk the soup, why do you eat meat?

For this reason, the two have not been in conflict.

Murong Xiaojun called a grievance.

But he didn't have any tricks at all.

Since the last time he came back from Fu Qi City, these guys don't know if they discussed it or what, and recently, he didn't catch a caravan about smuggling.

And the caravans of the various tribes were still dangling under Murong Xiaojun's nose all day long.

This makes the king of Dingcheng have to blow it, you see, as soon as the king goes, the fighting grain does not leave the country, this is the ability.

Murong Xiaojun was so angry, but he couldn't say a word.

Just when the two were fighting in Douhe County, they were in full swing.

In a private house in the city of Douhe, a man in his thirties said: "Recently, the various ministries have discussed that they should suspend the smuggling business for a while, and deliberately disgust the king of Gaochang, and you should not encourage them again, so as not to be seen by them."

The man who spoke was Wu An's subordinate and the person in charge of the Secret Spy Division in Douhe County, named Zhang Wuge, and he was also the first group to follow Li Chengqian to Riyue Mountain with Li Qinjian.

At the same time, he was also the first batch to enter the Chishui source with Li Chengqian.

You must know that the first batch of people who entered Chishui with Li Chengqian were all killed all the way, and to this day, they can be regarded as the descendants of Li Chengqian's lineage.

When Wu An set up the secret spy department, the backbone personnel were naturally selected from these descendants, and Fifth Brother Zhang joined the secret spy department at that time.

"Aren't we doing anything now?" Someone asked.

Fifth Brother Zhang shook his head, and he was also very helpless, not that he didn't want to do anything, but that he couldn't do anything in the current situation: "I heard that Murong Fuyun gave a death order, saying that he was not allowed to leave the country for fighting grain, otherwise King Gaochang and King Dingcheng would be severely punished.

And you did it too hard before, not to mention that they didn't make much profit in the previous smuggling, and they also killed a lot of people, even if they didn't care about these lives, but the risk was too great.

In addition, this time, they are determined to embarrass King Gaochang, so in a short period of time, they will definitely not take risks."

"Your Highness once said that they are reluctant to take risks just because the benefits are not enough, and as long as the interests are in place, I don't believe they are unwilling." Someone said, "Fifth brother, I have an idea, can you see if it works?"

It was the Pu clan who spoke, Pu Qi, who was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Fifth Brother Zhang looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"A repeater?" Pu Qi said, "They don't want to risk anything else for the time being, but what if it's a repeater? Are they also reluctant to take risks? If we get the word out that there are businessmen smuggling this thing out there, will they not be tempted?"

"Are you crazy?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, "Who dares to smuggle ordnance? Your Highness will not be able to skin you if he finds out."

Puqi said, "It's smuggling for them, do we need smuggling? I heard that His Royal Highness is now selling a generation of crossbows to Tubo, so what about selling them to Tuyuhun?

Moreover, you can see for yourselves, what we are now equipped with is the third-generation repeater of Qingyishui, and even the second-generation repeater is eating ashes in the warehouse, if you can really sell it to them, it can make them tempted again.

….

Second, it can also create benefits for our Daming.

The one that was replaced at the beginning

There are so many generations of crossbows piled up in the warehouse, and if they are not sold, they can only eat ashes.

The most important thing is that with this thing, if they start a fight in Dohe County, it will be lively."

Fifth Brother Zhang nodded and said, "Pu Qi is right, but this matter has to be decided after asking His Highness's intentions. I have an idea here, you can hear it.

Although King Gaochang has had frequent conflicts with them recently, both sides have been quite restrained and have not made much noise.

I thought, why don't we give them a hand?

I know that there is a caravan of the Western Sea King that is operating on the grassland recently, and I want to ......."

Fifth Brother Zhang is not a good bird, he wants to take this opportunity to lead the water to the east.

"Fifth Brother means to intercept this caravan?" Someone asked directly.

Nodding, Fifth Brother Zhang said, "I have learned about this caravan, there are not many people, there are only dozens of people in total, and it has been very active in Shuihe County recently.

Looking like that, it should have been temporarily brought over by the King of the West Sea, and its purpose was estimated to be to disgust King Gaochang.

Therefore, if we intercept and kill this caravan, we don't have to blame it, they will definitely look at King Gaochang with suspicion.

And King Gaochang is already arrogant, and he is tossed enough by these guys, I estimate that even if the basin is buckled on his head, he will not defend it.

If, we leave some of the goods of the Ming Dynasty in the caravan, it is estimated that he will be happy to carry this black cauldron, after all, after the king of Dingcheng came, he did not find a smuggling caravan, which really made his situation more embarrassing.

And the King of the West Sea, who knew that he had been wronged, how could he give up?"

He had thought about this matter carefully, and combined with the current strength of the Secret Spy Division in Douhe County, he formulated this plan.

"I think it's doable." Someone said, "Before we act, we can also release a message out, just say that the reason why the king of Dingcheng came, the smuggling was like disappearing, was because there was not so much smuggling before, and the so-called smuggling was directed and acted by King Gaochang himself, and even killed the good and risked the merits, so as to put pressure on King Gaochang first."

With that, everyone discussed the details of the plan together.

There is no need to report this kind of thing, their task is to disturb the water river county.

After the discussion, Fifth Brother Zhang said, "Pu Qi, you are responsible for spreading the rumors first, and the others will notify our people, get ready, and in three days, we will do it."

"And what I said earlier?" Pu Qi asked.

Fifth Brother Zhang immediately said, "I will immediately send someone back to Sun Moon Mountain to ask His Highness what His Highness means, but I feel that the problem is not a big problem."

After saying that, the crowd immediately dispersed.

In the afternoon of the same day, rumors spread in the city of Watering River.

To spread such rumors, it would be too simple.

Now there are the most caravans and the most caravans in Douhe County.

It was all specially made by various tribes to disgust Murong Xiaojun.

As soon as the rumor reaches their ears, they will immediately spread the rumor to more people.

For them, as long as it can hit Murong Xiaojun, they are willing to do it.

However, in two days, almost all the troops stationed in Dohe County heard such rumors.

Of course, after a lot of people, this rumor is really hard to hear.

But what's funnier is that after the people of Dohe County heard this rumor, some of them even believed it, and the only one who didn't believe it was actually the king of Dingcheng.

He really couldn't believe it, because he cleared it......

Of course, whether he believes it or not, he is happy to watch the show.

As long as Murong Xiaojun is unlucky, why is he not happy?

As for Murong Xiaojun, as soon as he heard this rumor, he knew that it must have been released by these guys like King Dingcheng.

But he was helpless, after the king of Dingcheng came, he really didn't catch a smuggling caravan, which had to make people think more.

And just when rumors were flying, an even more shocking news

It's coming.

On this day, Murong Xiaojun was having a headache in the palace, and suddenly someone came to report: "Lord Wang, fifty miles outside the city of Douhe, a caravan was slaughtered, and there were scattered Ming goods at the scene."

As soon as he heard this, Murong Xiaojun immediately stood up and said, "Prepare the horse, go and have a look."

He's been waiting lately, just waiting for these guys to get back to their old jobs.

After all, these guys are not monolithic, and everyone has selfish intentions.

And at the same time, King Dingcheng also received the news, and his reaction was the same as that of Murong Xiaojun.

Go intoxicating
