On the Northland prairies, a bloody rebellion broke out.

To say that it is a rebellion is actually a bit excessive, but in essence it is nothing more than a fight between several tribes.

It's just that Tian Khan has already issued a clear order to prohibit the fighting between tribes, this is to prevent them from annexing each other, and then annexing a monster.

They disobeyed the orders of the Heavenly Khan, and naturally they were in rebellion.

When it comes to the reason, it is actually very simple, it is to compete for grassland.

Although the prairie is large, there are not many places where the water and grass are truly abundant. Each of these places is a place where tribes will fight for it at the cost of their warriors and blood.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, the surrendered tribes were divided into pastures, and strictly ordered not to fight with each other.

In the past few years, it was good, but now it is different.

With the rapid development of the wool industry, the demand for wool has also soared by orders of magnitude.

The prices offered by the wool buyers increased year by year, and these goods were enough to enable the nobles of all tribes to buy fine sugar, salt, silk silk, glassware, iron pot carriages, spices and teas, spirits and medicines and other fine goods here in Shengzhou.

What's even more exaggerated is that a big shop called Zehua Trading Company is said to repair houses for Tian Khan, and can provide customized services to noble heads.

Build them beautiful, wind-resistant, glass-fitted houses with tiled washrooms with water and ceramic fixtures!

After the pastures were demarcated, the previous migration of water and grass was forced to stop, and it also provided the prerequisites for the tribal nobles to change from living in tents to housing.

Near Shengzhou, the nobles of several tribes at the foot of Yin Mountain were the first to try and moved into palace-like houses.

The floor is covered with wool carpets and wooden floors, the walls are covered with beautiful wallpaper, the transparent glass windows are covered with curtains made of silk silk, the soft quilts and large beds, and the washing and water supply systems that I never thought of.

On top of that, there are stoves with long chimneys that reach out of the windows, and they burn honeycomb coal bought from Katsushu, which is a miracle on a cold winter day!

Of course, all of this is not for nothing, it all requires huge financial support.

If you have money, you can live a fairy-like life, and if you don't have money, you can watch from the sidelines.

The cattle, sheep and horses, which used to be the most valuable in the hands of the tribe, are now gradually falling in price. The real value is wool.

Li Yunze continued to provide Sharma and Don Hippo of the Dumere horse, and under the great attention and attention of the Tang Dynasty, after years of development, it has begun to slaughter adult horses on a large scale.

Compared with Mongolian horses that weigh only a few hundred pounds and can't run with a little armor, these high-headed horses are what Datang wants.

Needless to say, cattle and sheep, Li Yunze is also continuing to provide seeds, and the supply capacity has been greatly improved after years of breeding.

After all, because of the existence of the pasture in Lijiazhuang, the decree banning the slaughter of cattle here in Guanzhong is about to become a dead letter.

The only exception is wool.

Because the sheep eat grass, even the grass roots and grass seeds are eaten up, which has a huge damage to the sandy environment of the grassland.

At Li Yunze's suggestion, Li Er ordered all localities to strictly limit the number of sheep raised, and at the same time began to concentrate on breeding, by cutting alfalfa grass and feeding soybean cakes.

The steppe is not listed.

The price of wool continued to soar, and the tribal leaders, who urgently needed a large amount of goods to buy all kinds of exquisite goods in Shengzhou, began to raise merino sheep like crazy.

However, the feeding capacity of the pasture is limited, at the beginning, the number of cattle and horses was reduced, and when the tribe was almost left with sheep, then if it wanted to expand the scale, it could only grab the pasture from other tribes.

Faced with the huge profits brought by wool, the ban of Tian Khan was forgotten by the red-eyed nobles.

When the news was transmitted to Chang'an City through the telegram of Shengzhou City, Li Er, who was having dinner with Empress Changsun, smiled on the spot, and even slapped his thighs repeatedly... His own thighs.

Empress Eldest Sun never asked about political affairs, and naturally she would not say anything to each other, 'Why is Your Majesty laughing?' ’

She just looked at it with a smile on her face, and looked at Li Er, who was laughing, and directly threw down the fast, got up and walked outside.

When Li Er left the palace quickly, Empress Changsun arranged for the palace maids to clean up all the unfinished dishes, and she frowned and went to find Li Chengqian.

In the past few days, Li Chengqian, who has suffered tremendous psychological pressure because of the transformation of Lichang Liyan into Lixian, has not made trouble for Empress Changsun.

But it was precisely because of Li Chengqian's almost unbearable performance that Li Er's determination was strengthened.

As a mother and wife, the eldest grandson queen can only desperately turn around in a dilemma.

She must let Li Chengqian understand that as long as he can cheer himself up, as long as her eldest grandson Empress is still alive, even if it is a secret reserve, it must be your name written on it!

Li Er hurried up and galloped to Lijiazhuang.

Li Yunze was eating lunch alone, when he saw Li Er come in and beckoned him to sit down.

"Your Majesty, what good things have happened to you?"

Looking at Li Er's face full of spring breeze, Li Yunze, who was gnawing on chicken legs, was very curious.

"Your plan is working." Li Er happily picked up the wine jug and poured himself wine: "There are tribes in the Northland Grassland fighting for grassland. ”

"Oh." Hearing this, Li Yunze immediately said, "You can reduce the number of dings." ”

For the Central Plains Dynasty, which already occupied almost all of East Asia, raids from the northland steppes were always a threat.

Li Er, who has become the Khan of the Heavens, can't really think that he is the boss of the grassland tribe, and has been thinking about how to solve the threat in the north.

Historically, he has adopted the strategy of integration, which is to integrate by absorption.

It was indeed effective in the short term, but the Anshi Rebellion broke out in just a hundred years.

Although there were many reasons for the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang army was full of a large number of foreign races, just like the Roman Empire back then.

In this world, Li Er accepted Li Yunze's suggestion and adopted the strategy of reducing the number of Ding.

The so-called reduction of Ding Ding is to set a population ceiling for each tribe, and if it is exceeded, it must be eliminated to curb the growth of its strength at the root.

It's just that an excuse is needed to promote the policy of reducing Ding, after all, Li Er is the Khan of Tian who needs face, not like a wild boar skin that is directly slaughtered with a knife and gun. Of course, more importantly, the tribes are not cattle and sheep, of course they will not stretch out their necks to let the Tang Dynasty reduce the Ding, which is needed

Opportunity.

Now that the tribes are fighting for pasture for wool, this excuse and opportunity has come.

"Not bad." Li Er, who narrowed his eyes, said with satisfaction: "I plan to disobey the teachings and disobey the holy order, and the only way to do it is to reduce the number of Ding." ”

"It's a good opportunity." Li Yunze nodded again and again: "It's just that you shouldn't do it now." ”

"Oh." Li Er raised his eyebrows, "Speak clearly." ”

"This is an opportunity, not only should we not reduce the number of tribes now, but we should encourage them to fight and spread the war throughout the prairie."

Li Er's experience is so rich, after a little thought, he understood, "What you mean is to give up what you said before, and proceed step by step from point to point, and simply make things bigger, let the various departments of the grassland become a pot of porridge, and then implement the policy of reducing the number of dings." ”

"Yes."

Li Yunze put down the chicken leg and wiped his hand, "Let them fight, and even secretly encourage them, whoever wins the battle can occupy more and better grassland." After all the tribes in the capital have formed a blood feud and lost the strength to resist the Tang Dynasty, they will be reduced to let them

From now on, I can only be a sheep herder. ”

Looking at Li Yunze, Li Er exclaimed, "Qing has the talent of a prime minister." ”

These words successfully amused Li Yunze, he was the emperor. Although I didn't have much experience at the beginning and did a lot of trouble, I gradually got better.

Li Er, who was satisfied, decided to arrange manpower after he went back to add fire to the tribes on the grassland, so that they could kill them in order to compete for pasture and raise sheep.

In Li Er's opinion, this is an excellent plan to completely remove the threat from the Northland.

Drink the wine when you pick it up, and eat it when you pick up the food. Li Er even had the leisure to talk to Li Yunze about poetry and music.

Looking at Li Er in front of him proudly showing himself a poem, Li Yunze still nodded in admiration.

When it comes to making poems, Li Yunze can become a porter and gush 300 Tang poems in front of Li Er.

But these are at most what he memorized by rote when he was in school, and his real ability cannot be said to be none, but it is definitely inferior to Li Er.

He has passed the stage of relying on poetry to gain superiority and attention.

Li Er's poems can't be said to be good, but it is the ability to make them.

On the contrary, it is Li Yunze's test-taking education, and he can memorize poems but he can't compose poems, he can only memorize by rote but has no creativity at all.

Li Er, who has earned a wave of superiority here in Li Yunze, is in a better mood.

Even after eating, he was not in a hurry to leave, but leisurely wandered around Lijiazhuang.

Li Er was in a good mood until he saw the gift that Li Yunze was preparing for Li Tao.

“... It's..."

Looking at the photo of Li Changrong in front of him, who was a little tall, Li Er's voice was a little dry.

In the photo, Li Tao is wearing a helmet and armor, and his whole body is draped.

The armor is distinct, the leather boots are shiny, and the sword in his hand looks proudly ahead.

That look, that bearing, is really vivid, just like a real person.

"This is blackmailed by Li Gong." Li Yunze was angry when he mentioned this, and Li Tao threatened to give an explanation by seeing through his plan to pit the gate valve of the Kanto family.

Li Yunze, who didn't want to make more trouble, simply ordered him a photo of such a large uniform in the modern world.

Looking at Li Er, who was staring blankly at the photo of the uniform, Li Yunze thoughtfully, "Your Majesty also wants it?" ”

Li Er, who came back to his senses, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, "This painting is magnificent, and the exquisite painting is simply complete." Even Yan Qing has never been so skilled. ”

This is not a drawing, and of course Yan Liben's hand cannot compare pixels with the camera.

But these are not important, Li Yunze immediately said, "What should I do, Your Majesty wants to take a picture, it is just a few thousand yuan." ”
