In the original war, although the captured prisoners of war would also be taken out to exchange for money, but after all, the money was relatively small, but after Li Xiang's operation, this was completely different, in addition to the local prisoners, including the local people, they could be exchanged for money, in short, as long as there was no deficit in our finances, if there was a deficit in the finances, according to Li Xiang's meaning, they could sell all of them.

Some civil officials of the imperial court stood up and said that this and that were not good, but Li Xiang didn't bother to listen to them, and the generals understood what Li Xiang said, if we think about the days of these people, then our days will not pass, anyway, no one can interfere with the actions of the military when our finances have not been alleviated.

Li Shimin is also in favor of this, because for Li Shimin, if there is a hole in the finances, he will be the one who will be embarrassed in the end, and the entire Tang Empire has more places to spend money, not just the army spends money, so in order to ensure the smooth operation of finance, the various policies formulated by the Tiance General's Mansion must be cooperated by the imperial court.

The local people still have illusions in their hearts, they think that the Tang Dynasty rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and it will never bring them too much disaster, not to mention that everything that should be taken away from this land has also been taken away, and the rest is except for us people, I am afraid that it is those livestock, but those cattle are not worth anything at all, if they are transported back to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the money may be more.

But they obviously underestimated the ability of the Tang army, if your cattle are transported back to Chang'an, it will indeed cost a lot of money, but if it is transported back to the countries of the Western Regions, it will not cost too much money, and the countries of the Western Regions are similar to your lifestyle, only a little less than the local price, we can easily sell these livestock, anyway, what we want is just a financial income, as for whether we can make so much money, this is not within our consideration.

And when selling these livestock, it can also create some contradictions for all parts of the Western Regions, for example, the tribes that follow the Tang Dynasty can get some more shares, anyway, this price is lower than usual, as long as you take the money out to buy, basically this cheap will be considered to be in your hand.

As for those tribes who have not sent troops, they can only say that they are sorry for you, this victory can only be divided by the winner, you do not have any outstanding performance on the battlefield, and when the war is over, you will not be able to obtain the rights and interests that the victor should have.

Doing so also makes the countries of the Western Regions understand that as long as you follow the Tang Empire to fight abroad, then whether it is your soldiers or ordinary people, there will be benefits after the war is over, but if you are passive confrontation every time, then these benefits will never have anything to do with you.

There are also some tribal leaders who said, as long as we live a good life and don't go out to fight, it's okay if we don't have this benefit, but people are ambitious, and you don't think about it, but the tribe around you is slowly expanding through these ways.

Originally, you were all evenly matched, and no one could swallow anyone, but if his strength is getting bigger and bigger, and you still maintain the same appearance, plus the Tang army provokes from behind, it is estimated that the surrounding tribal leaders will not be able to sit still, and he is likely to set off round after round of invasion wars, at that time you are facing a huge neighbor, can you still hold on?

Although it is in the ruling area of the Tang Dynasty, because the borders of the countries in the Western Regions are too big, no matter how the management is strengthened, there will still be some tribal wars Although the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibits such behavior, sometimes it can also open the back door for some people, for example, you follow the Tang army to fight, and the grassland next door is much more fertile than your grassland, and the tribe next door does not have in-depth cooperation with the Tang army, so no one will take care of you if you do something.

Just when the people of various tribes were immersed in cranky thoughts, more than 20 tribes were surrounded by the Tang Dynasty army in an instant, and they were within 20 miles of Samarkand City, which was also a relatively wealthy tribe around.

They had already been robbed once when Governor Faisal left, and then the people inside the city of Samarkand had robbed them once, and the whole tribe could be said to be empty, but now they had to accept another robbery.

"Great Tang General, please have mercy on us, there is no one in the tribe except for old people and children like us, these cattle and sheep are what we took out and gave to you, I hope we can continue."

Feng Chucai rode on a tall horse in front of him, this person should be a prestigious old man in the tribe, the number of people in this tribe is about 4,000 people, but there are only more than 900 young and middle-aged people, and now these more than 900 people are all dead on the battlefield, except for the more than 30 laborers standing next to him, I am afraid that all of them are over 50 years old and under 15 years old.

Their tribe contributed 1,000 sheep, 200 cattle and 100 horses.

"This number will be doubled again, and these dozens of people will be requisitioned with the army, and 60 young girls from your tribe will be brought in, if you agree, then we will not go in."

Feng Chucai's face didn't have any expression, if you are too weak to these people in front of you, in the future, they will raise their scimitars and kill in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, and our people may not be able to live a good life.

This is the kind of relationship between countries, either you die or I die, either you go to be a great power, or you are exploited by the great powers, this is also what Li Xiang often says, so these people under his command also remember very clearly, they don't want their people to be exploited by the powers, then we can only exploit others.

After hearing Feng Chucai's words, the old man immediately knelt down with the others, and cried one by one, wiping tears from tears, they said that they might not be able to live if they took out these things, after all, there were still about 3,000 people in the tribe, if they were all taken out, then at least 1/3 of the people in their tribe would freeze to death in winter...
