Chapter 46: Prestige (1)

"What? Any questions? ”

Li Jing's eyes swept Darabodo coldly, and Dalabodo was so frightened that Dalabodo didn't dare to say more, and turned around and left directly.

Although the Tubo people do not keep accounts, Tuyuhun was influenced by the Tang Dynasty, and before Tubo destroyed Tuyuhun, he still had the habit of keeping accounts.

Ashina first cleaned up a room, invited Li Jing to go in and rest, set up the table, put food such as tea and dried fruits, and boiled a pot of water not far from the side to make tea for Li Jing to drink.

Others will clean up other places, and he will stay and serve Li Jing!

Half an hour passed, and Dara Bodo came back with the ledger and put it in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing took a copy casually, the book cover changed color, and at a glance, he knew that it was old, and when he flipped through it, Li Jing found that he didn't know the words on it at all.

So, I put down the one in my hand and picked up the other one, which was basically full of Chinese characters.

Li Jing found that these were books similar to history books, and there were two or three account books, all of which were account books before Tuyuhun died in the country.

"Why is there no record of the Tibetan occupation of Fuqi City, let alone account books and household registers?"

Li Jing was very puzzled, Tubo is also a powerful country, after years of cultural exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to have no accounting, how to collect and dispatch money and grain without accounting?

"The regent didn't know that after the Tibetan occupation of this place, the locals were forbidden to learn to read and write, and even the language had to be learned in the Tibetan language, and only the Tibetan officials would keep accounts."

"As for the taxes, they are all collected indiscriminately, sometimes they will be cleverly robbed, sometimes they don't keep accounts at all, and when they are serious, they will collect money indiscriminately, and the people will suffer for a long time!"

Dara Bodo recounted the tragic situation of the city, especially the misery of the people!

In the face of the expropriation and expropriation of Tibet, the Tuyuhun people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and the nobles of Tubo were even more unscrupulous exploitation, and the people had to do heavy work every day in order to barely make a living.

Li Jing didn't expect that Tubo would actually destroy the Tuyuhun people like this, in this way, if he defeated Tubo, wouldn't the Tuyuhun people be grateful to him, and with the guidance of the Murong family, they were afraid that the people here would not die to the Tang Dynasty?

"How much grain and grass is left in the city?"

Li Jing asked.

Dara Boduo looked bitter: "Regent, there is no food in the city, and all the food that can be eaten has been looted away by the Tubo ditch, and I also ask the regent to save the people in the city." ”

This is also the main reason why Darabodo decisively surrendered in Kaecheng, since their Tibetan master does not care about their life or death, then he will re-take refuge in a master.

Li Jing was directly stunned!

Is Tubo so ruthless? Don't leave even a grain of rice for the people of the city, take it all!

This is to give him an empty city plan, not only to leave him a city without food, but also to leave him tens of thousands of mouths to eat, if you don't solve the problem of eating in Fuqi City, there will definitely be a rebellion.

If it is suppressed in blood, Tubo will definitely take the opportunity to find out the Tang Dynasty, making the Tuyuhun people hate the Tang Dynasty even more, and forget who made them embark on this road of no return.

If Li Jing received help from the people of Fuqicheng, he would have to transfer grain and grass from the Tang Dynasty, so that Tubo could find the grain route of the Tang army and cut off the grain route of the Tang army.

Once the Tang army is short of food, it will inevitably lead to the discouragement of the army, and Tubo can easily defeat the Tang Dynasty.

It can be described as killing two birds with one stone, no matter how you look at it, you will not suffer.

"Tuyuhun used to be a vassal of my Tang Dynasty, how can this king not save him when he dies? Let us draw a batch of grain and grass from the grain and grass we have brought and distribute it to the people of Fu Qi City to help them tide over the difficulties!"

"On behalf of the people of the city, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Regent!"

Li Jing's decision made Dara Bodo see hope, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him!

"Get up! The Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and this king is a good person, and he really can't bear the people in the city to starve!"

Li Jing accepted Darabodo's bow with peace of mind and gave them life-saving food, and it was not too much for the other party to kowtow a few times!

"The Lord Regent is benevolent, the people of Fu Qi City will definitely be grateful to the Regent, and I once again thank the Lord Regent on behalf of the people of the city!"

Dara Bodo kowtowed again to show his gratitude.

Li Jing looked at Dara Bodo, who was kneeling at his feet in front of him, and suddenly had a new idea.

If you want to completely make the Tuyuhun people follow Datang with all their hearts, you must focus on two themes: splashing dirty water and brushing prestige.

Pour dirty water on your enemies and give yourself prestige!

Li Jing wanted to magnify the crimes of Tubo in Fuqi City infinitely, to the point that even the Tubo people spurned it.

In this era of underdeveloped information, ordinary people will not be full enough to find the truth, but will believe in rumors.

They will only feel that they have exposed your crimes, joined the team of spitting on you, and any justification you make will only make them darker and darker, and eventually drowned out by people's spittle.

If you don't stand up and defend yourself, it will be tantamount to Tubo admitting the persecution and exploitation of the Tuyuhun people!

Then the Tuyuhun people will feel that all their sufferings come from Tubo, and only by driving Tubo out of Tuyuhun can the Tuyuhun people usher in the dawn of hope!

At this moment, the righteous division of the Tang Dynasty came, bringing the dawn of hope to the Tuyuhun people!

The Tang Dynasty is worthy of being the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, not only sent heavenly soldiers to run away from the Tubo Gully and Zhazion, but also brought food and money to the Tuyuhun people to help the Tuyuhun people rebuild their homes.

What Li Jing has to do now is to do a good job of publicity, shape the Tang Dynasty, especially Li Jing, into a glorious image of saving Tuyuhun, and blacken the king of Tubo and everyone in Tubo to death.

Are you still afraid that you will not have prestige?

Are you still afraid that Datang is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

Let me ask, if it were you, would you choose to follow the Tubo who persecuted you incessantly and pushed you into the abyss of despair, or would you bring hope to the Tang Dynasty and help you rebuild your homeland!

Li Jing believes that the Tuyuhun people will make a wise choice!

"Dara Bodo, you go and gather the people of Tuyuhun in the city, I want to see the military rations delivered to everyone with my own eyes, so that no one will be rich!"

"Yes, Lord Regent!"

Dara Bodo quickly got up and retreated, and ran to inform the people of Tugu Hun in the city to come out and receive the military rations distributed by the Tang Dynasty.

When the people in the city learned that they had food to receive, their originally godless and empty eyes radiated brilliance, and they took the utensils containing food and gathered in the city square.

Li Jing was wearing dazzling gold armor and a blood-red cloak behind him, and walked majestically to the high platform in the center of the square.

The people in the city only felt that they had to get out of the way, so that Li Jing could walk to the high platform smoothly, so as not to waste everyone's precious time and affect their food.
