Chapter 169: The Turks are very important
But happy times are always short-lived.
Zhang Yang still has important things to do, and the revenge around Da Zhou is almost the same, only Turkic, Emperor Wu thought of it, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
But what is Zhang Yang doing?
Listening to the spies coming to report, Emperor Wu was angry and didn't fight in one place, gentle township, hero mound, one or two like this.
Emperor Wu felt uncomfortable, can he make Zhang Yang feel good? Let's talk about military training first, and now they have written to command back and forth, what is this called? To be asleep at the switch.
After the herald ordered Zhang Yang to meet him, Emperor Wu set up a shelf.
"Does Aiqing still remember the national feud?"
Zhang Yang: "Remember, this will not change. ”
Emperor Wu said that she almost believed it, "When will the army set off?" ”
Zhang Yang was also anxious in his heart, the dust of the Turkic matter would settle as soon as the dust settled, and he would be much better, and he would not have to be difficult to do in front of the barbarians. The training is almost over, and in a few months, it will be able to set off, but this post-war handling is a big problem.
Mo Si is the enemy of many people, but he is his father-in-law, and Emperor Wu may not be able to use the means of recovery against the Turks like Shen Sanwen and the princess, and there will be wars in the north in the future.
Breaking ground on the head of the Great Zhou is inevitable, and it will make it impossible for them to survive, which is not reasonable for these territories that will also belong to China in the future.
Zhang Yang replied calmly, "In another half a year, the last general will definitely lead the army of tigers and wolves to capture Mo Si alive and recover the territory of the Great Zhou that was plundered by the Turks." ”
Emperor Wu asked, "Why do you need half a year?" ”
Zhang Yang frankly admitted his mistakes, "The minister's training has been slightly lax, and now it has not yet been completed, and half a year later, it is the time to inspect the troops." ”
Emperor Wu nodded in agreement, "I hope Aiqing can work hard and win glory for the country as soon as possible." ”
Out of the palace, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh. If the person you like is an ordinary woman, then this Turkic thing will be easy to do, capture and sip back to Chang'an, and then show the public.
But with this relationship, he must save his life and use the past six months to plan. Of course, for those people who died in vain, he is not guilty, for ordinary people, it is better to die than to live, but for Xiaoxiong, it is an insult to them to not see light and hope for a lifetime, and sometimes life is not necessarily a painful punishment.
I don't know how interested Emperor Wu is in recovering the Turkic land and accepting the Turkic people, so Zhang Yang naturally has to go to the princess and Shen Sanwen to discuss and understand.
He could not make these suggestions in person, otherwise His Majesty would have thought that he was selfish, and thus aroused His Majesty's disgust more than worth the loss.
Shen Sanwen spent the morning writing 10,000 words and was wandering the garden in search of inspiration. The princess's mansion is always lively and reveals a sense of calm, order keeps everything in order for it, everyone is busy and not at a loss, perhaps thanks to the calm temperament of its owner.
In such an environment, people are also more able to calm down and meditate.
The arrival of Zhang Yang shattered this tranquility, especially as he also brought a problem.
The treatment of the Turks has always been Shen San's own idea.
A large amount of land in the Turks has been dry for many years, and in the eyes of Emperor Wu, it is really a burden to make ends meet. Although it is a merit to expand the territory, this merit requires the efforts of more places in Dazhou to provide for it.
The princess has already mentioned that if she has the heart to take it, she will be able to occupy the Central Plains for a long time during the Han Dynasty.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of property and value, a large area of the Gobi in the Western Regions has no grass, but it is connected to the western arteries, and the surplus daily necessities can be exchanged for a large amount of gold and silver.
So the key is to make that land worthwhile, not to convince people with some concept of benevolence. Even if His Majesty is convinced, and there is still the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the expenses in the north will become larger, and the money and food that can be used in other places will be reduced.
However, everyone in the Great Zhou was determined to start a war, and it was bound to maximize the results of the war.
That's the way to break the game.
What can the land of the Turks do? Shen Sanwen thinks that the best use is tourism. However, in this big week when parents are not far away, the construction of the business road has not yet been completed, and it takes several months to stop raining for three days in just a few steps, tourism is really a luxury.
Moreover, countless people once fantasized about going to the world with a sword, but didn't they go because they were busy with work?
Shen Sanwen naturally had to find someone to come up with an idea, the first choice should have been Wu Yanxiu, who had experience in Turkic survival, but after working together for a long time, Shen Sanwen still felt very sorry for him, so he didn't sprinkle salt on his wounds.
What's more, the young man who is mainly playful and has not been so meticulous in his observation ability is not as reliable as Cui Xuanlai, the encyclopedia in the princess's mansion.
Shen Sanwen, Zhang Yang, and Cui Xuan sat down to discuss what could make the Turkic Land important.
Shen San asked, "Is there a lot of iron ore over there?" Is it possible to enrich the food of Da Zhou by providing animals in the pasture? ”
Cui Xuan shook his head, "If the iron ore is abundant, the grassland will not be weaker in terms of personal strength than the surrounding cities." As for animals, the supply capacity of the grassland is limited, and Da Zhou does not go back to the near and far. ”
After all, the cost of shipping is too high.
Shen San asked: "Are there any precious medicines, common materials, salt mines or something?" ”
Cui Xuan shook his head, "The mountains on the Turkic side are rich in trees, but it is difficult to cut down big trees, and it is not worth the effort to make firewood from small trees. ”
Shen San asked if he remembered where there were precious rare earth minerals, but what could this thing be used for in Da Zhou?
Zhang Yang reacted, "There are coal mines where there are many trees!" ”
Shen San was surprised, "I also remember that there are some coal mines, but coal is not valuable." ”
Zhang Yang glanced at him, "You know there, most of them are burning wood now, and the smoke is heavy." Making carbon by yourself, and far less efficient than coal, will definitely be popular in Dazhou and become an indispensable daily necessities. ”
Cui Xuan asked, "What is a coal mine?" ”
Shen San asked, "It is a kind of black sandy substance, which can burn for a long time, and it has some smells, which saves space than carbon." ”
Cui Xuan: "I've seen in Persona, black and very soft stones, they can be burned, but they can't be burned out, they will be extinguished soon, but that thing is poisonous." ”
Shen San asked: "That's the reason for drilling, otherwise there is a lack of air, and only part of it will be burned." Some of the coal itself is poisonous, but there are many anthracite coals that are non-toxic and can be used directly. ”
Zhang Yang hurriedly asked, "How much coal is there?" ”
Shen San replied, "Judging from the current territory of the Great Zhou, there should be nearly one-third. ”
After all, from the point of view of exploitability, manpower is insufficient in many places, and the Turks are not short of people!
Zhang Yang: "What should we do now to promote coal mines?" ”
