973 The Importance of Sichuan
This time Xiao Yu followed Li Xiang to Sichuan, it is indeed to mobilize a lot of family resources, but the corresponding harvest is also good, more than a dozen young children in the family have come to Sichuan, and they all have the experience of being in charge of the party, after returning to Chang'an in the future, this is a valuable wealth, no matter which yamen is arranged, others can't say why, if you want to stop it, then you have to see if the person you bring up has this experience.
"Speaking of this, I have to thank Your Highness for them, but the territory of the four major toasts also needs a large number of magistrates, and now the court has given us a list, I don't know what Your Highness means?"
Xiao Yu remembered another thing, since the territory of the four major Tusi has belonged to the Tang Dynasty, then we have the right to set up magistrates here, but they can't appoint magistrates by themselves, if you appoint and dismiss them yourself, then what do you want the court officials to do?
"The court is giving us a lot of support now, people want to put people in, they can't all come back, you just bargain with the court, at most let them install a third, and you can also have a few people in your family, and I will take care of the rest myself."
When sharing the cake, Li Xiang has never been shy, he asked more than half of the officials to come down in one bite, who let this place be beaten down, Xiao Yu also helped Li Xiang a lot, so that he could get a bite of meat to eat in advance, think about the large family in Chang'an City, for these places may have broken their heads, what is it that we suffer a little in Sichuan, isn't it all for the next generation of the family?
Xiao Yu was fishing while dealing with some paperwork, when Li Xiang nodded, he immediately wrote down this article, many things don't look at him as the supreme administrator of Sichuan, but some things have to be nodded by Li Xiang, Li Xiang personally knocked down here, if you feel that the authority to share the cake is in your hands, then you are a little too much.
"Your Highness has news, Your Highness has news......"
Xiao Yu was writing, he was startled by this loud voice, Qin Huaiyu waved a letter in the distance, it seems that there is news in the south, everyone's eyes are focused on the south these days, I didn't expect the two brothers to be so quick to hold back, if they knew that it was like this, Li Xiang would not come back at all, it is better to guide them on the spot in the south.
"It's time for you to hone your temperament, how to say that it is also from the Guogong Mansion, your father usually teaches you a lot, you should be a bit of a city government when you encounter things, and you are about to set off with the army, if you are so shocked when you encounter something, wouldn't it be a shame for me to lose the face of Datang?"
Xiao Yu is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, let alone Qin Huaiyu, even if Qin Huaiyu's father Qin Qiong is here, Xiao Yu can say two words if he wants to, this is an old man in the court, so when Xiao Yu spoke, Qin Huaiyu could only stand honestly.
"Don't talk about him, the young man who is about the same as him, now he can't be said to be a great achievement, but he has a laurel crown on his head, but this kid does something that sweeps the tail, and now it's his turn to go to the battlefield, of course, he is a little more excited than others."
Li Xiang saw Qin Huaiyu's restrained appearance, and he also wanted to say a few words for him in his heart, after hearing this, Xiao Yu's face could be regarded as showing a smile, the young general must always remember that it represents the face of my Tang Dynasty outside, if there is no city government like this, I am afraid that it will make people laugh in the future.
In Xiao Yu's opinion, if Qin Huaiyu is embarrassed, it is not only his own people who will be lost, including his father, General Qin Qiong, I am afraid that he will not be able to raise his head at that time, and it is much better to say two words now than to be embarrassed in the future.
"What Your Highness said is that since you have important things to discuss, then the old man will go back first, and then accompany His Highness to fish another day."
Xiao Yu is very self-aware, he knows that he is only in charge of the affairs of Sichuan's civil affairs, if he encounters a major military event, unless Li Xiang leaves this guy behind, otherwise he will never take the initiative to stay here, which is also a reason why he has been able to remain undefeated for many years.
"It's not a big deal, after their army needs your side to cooperate later, after going to the south, all the food and grass supplies will come from your side, although Chang'an City has transported a lot, but it will waste a lot of time to transfer it to the past."
In Li Xiang's view, the most important thing about the southward march of the army this time is not the things on the battlefield, because the things on the battlefield can be predicted now, no matter which of the two brothers wins, it cannot be the opponent of our Datang army, the most important thing is that the logistics supply must keep up.
Li Xiang himself came from Nanzhao, naturally knew what the supply capacity of Nanzhao was, and tens of thousands of people entered at once, if it was a peaceful era, there would naturally be no problem, but now it is a fight, and no one knows what level this war will spread, once it spreads from Wangcheng to the whole country, then the supply of grain will have to rely entirely on Sichuan, in addition to our own army, if we want to stabilize the local society, we also have to transport a large amount of grain.
Of course, if the scope of this war is not large, only in the army, then the grain in Sichuan can be saved, and Nanzhao has also stored a lot of good things for so many years, so it is no problem to satisfy their food, drink and Lazar, and it will not bring too much burden to the takeover of the Tang Dynasty, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment, so make adequate preparations, this is what an old man should do.
"Please rest assured, although it is only a season of grain, but the official warehouses around Chengdu are also full, the most important thing is that we have opened up a lot of wasteland, and His Royal Highness has given us a lot of good seeds, and now there is no shortage of food here, even without the support of Chang'an City, the old man can still take out the food of these tens of thousands of people, and they will be fed for three years."
Xiao Yu is indeed a capable person, the war with Tusi has only been over for a few months, coupled with the previous agricultural promotion, only one season of grain, this has been a stubborn disease that has changed Sichuan for many years, just by virtue of this, in the entire court of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one has this ability.
At the beginning, Li Xiang wanted to ask him over, for his ability, rather than aging slowly in Chang'an City, it was better to come to Sichuan to exert his residual heat.
