Li Xiang looked at Li Zhi a little speechlessly, I really don't know what this kind of person is thinking in his head, everyone is making suggestions for this matter, even if there is no idea, everyone's heart is very anxious, people like you are good, you have to tear down the wall at every turn, Datang has a prince like you, it is really the biggest misfortune.

"General, in fact, the imperial court can contract out this area."

When Li Xiang said this, everyone present was surprised, and everyone didn't understand what it meant to be contracted, but according to their understanding of Li Xiang, the ideas of this guy were very novel, and they could make the court get certain benefits.

"Tell me about it."

Qin Qiong was obviously also interested, he had never heard of such a statement.

Although no one here knows what Li Xiang means, everyone understands one thing, that is, this land outside the city is very important, if we can use it and manage it well, if Tuyuhun wants to find trouble in the future, this is our strategic depth, so that they will not be able to drive the army to Liangzhou City at any time, which will threaten the security of our Datang border defense.

"The general's court is now short of war horses, that's because we lack a place to raise horses, if we want to use this as a horse farm for the imperial court, we can invite a group of heroes all over the country, they only need to pay a part of the money to the imperial court every year, then this grassland is his, of course, he is responsible for the safety of this grassland, and for us to find out the news of Tuyuhun, when Tuyuhun dispatches a large army, the court provides them with protection, but they have to be responsible for small fights, In this way, it can not only provide a large number of military horses for the imperial court, but also have an extra income every year, and there are also people who help the imperial court keep an eye on Tuyuhun. ”

Li Xiang's statement is more complicated, at the beginning many people did not understand, Li Xiang made several explanations, so that these people can understand, that is, to lease this land to the major families, let them train a group of soldiers by themselves, the cost of this group of private soldiers is borne by themselves, and a part of the military horses and money must be paid to the imperial court every year, as for the excess part, that is the income of your family.

"This suggestion is good, if the imperial court is really so liberal, our old Cheng family will definitely want a piece here, and the price of this military horse is not cheap."

Cheng Biting Jin usually did business, and soon saw the business opportunities, and now the territory of Datang has not yet appeared, but if it is to develop steadily, the situation of more people and less land will soon come out, if this land is in his hands, it will definitely be able to generate immeasurable income in the future.

"It sounds promising, but if this place becomes a country within a country, the imperial court will not be able to control it at that time, not only will it not be able to defend the southwest barrier for the imperial court, but it will make them lose their tails, and then it will be troublesome."

Qin Qiong said with some worry, Qin Qiong is very clear about the major powerful families, they are superficially subordinate to the imperial court, but they are all ambitious, and they may not be able to show it in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this place is far away from the emperor, and it is not easy for them to say.

"This subordinate also thought of this, we can set up an official agency in Liangzhou City, strictly inspect the number of troops they have, and at the same time change the inspection officials from time to time to prevent them from bribing officials, and the grassland they belong to, we can also rotate it irregularly every year to prevent them from becoming bigger in the local area."

After Li Xiang's words came out, everyone stretched out their thumbs in their hearts, this kid has calculated people's hearts and has calculated to reach home, according to the method he proposed, each family can only make a fortune on the grassland, if you want to set up a private kingdom here, there is basically no such possibility.

"If we operate properly and hand it over to my subordinate Zhidaobao for auction, then just the money from the auction of the pasture, I estimate that we will be able to earn back our military expenses, and from next year they will be able to provide us with military horses and military expenses, maybe our army in Liangzhou City will also have expenses."

Li Xiang has been thinking about this plan for a long time, but someone has to put it forward, and he can't say it to the emperor himself, if he says it himself, it will be a bit excessive, after all, the biggest beneficiary of this matter must be Li Xiang.

He has already sent someone to investigate, there are many places with abundant water and grass on the grassland, and he will definitely make it a royal ranch, and when the time comes, he will add five to Li Shimin, if the other big families have ideas, can you compete with the emperor?

"This matter is a big matter, and we don't need to settle down for the time being, General Ben will write a letter immediately, you write all the things in detail, and send them to Chang'an with General Ben's recital, and let your grandfather call the shots."

General Qin Qiong hesitated, this is also the best way at present, otherwise all the expenses are the responsibility of the imperial court, according to the current financial capacity of the imperial court, it is simply not affordable, now not only can you not pay this money, but also can make a sum of money every year, if the emperor has no problem with his brain, he will definitely approve this plan.

"Add an article to the fold, we, the soldiers who go out with the army, should have the right of first choice."

After most of the people went out, Cheng Yanjin came from the side, and General Qin Qiong also nodded with a smile, Qin Qiong is not good at business, but he thinks that there is nothing wrong with adding this article, this can improve the living conditions of the brothers in the army, why not?

Li Xiang will not interfere with these people's small actions in private, he has already investigated all the grasslands, this land is not small, from Liangzhou City to the south three hundred miles east and west length is at least 1,200 miles, now one mile is 500 meters, nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land, we can't take it all in our own hands, it must be divided into pieces of piece, everyone will be twisted into a rope at that time, so that we can fight against Tuyuhun.

After the meeting, Li Zhi didn't stay too long, this guy also felt that there was a huge profit in it, he had to write back to Chang'an quickly, no matter how much money he needed to buy at that time, he had to make money with Li Tai, they didn't have Li Xiang's ability to make money, maybe they had to sell some of the industry......
