The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 437

On the northern prairie, a bloody rebellion broke out.

To say it was a rebellion is actually a bit too much, in essence it is just a fight between several tribes.

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

They violated the order of Tian Khan, which naturally belonged to the rebellion.

Speaking of the reason, it is actually very simple, it is to compete for the grassland.

Although the prairie is large, there are not many places with really rich water and grass.Every place like this is a place that various tribes will fight for without hesitating to shed warriors and blood.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, the tribes who surrendered were divided into grasslands, and they were strictly prohibited from fighting each other.

In the past few years, it has been well observed, but now it is different.

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

The prices offered by the wool buyers are increasing year by year. These goods are enough for the noble heads of various tribes to buy exquisite white sugar, green salt, silk, glass products, iron pots and carriages, spiced tea, and spirits in Shengzhou. Drugs and other high-end goods.

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

Build them beautiful, wind-proof houses with glass and tiled bathrooms with sinks and ceramic plumbing fixtures!
After the grassland was designated, the previous migration of living by water and grass was forced to stop, and it also provided a prerequisite for the tribal nobles to change from living in tents to living in houses.

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

The floor is woolen carpet and wooden floor, the wall is pasted with wallpaper with beautiful patterns, the transparent glass windows are hung with silk curtains, soft quilts and big beds, washing and watering are never thought of system blah blah blah.

The most important thing is that there are stoves with long chimneys extending out of the windows in the house, burning briquettes bought from Shengzhou, which is simply a magic weapon in the cold winter!
Of course, all of this is not for nothing, and requires huge financial support.

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

However, the most valuable cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe's hands are now gradually falling in price.What is really valuable is wool.

Li Yunze continued to provide Dumas of Sharma and Don horses. Under the great attention and attention of the Tang court, after years of development, he had begun to sell adult horses on a large scale.

Compared with the Mongolian horses, which only weigh a few hundred catties and cannot run with a little armor, these tall horses are what Datang wants.

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

After all, because of the existence of the pasture in Lijiazhuang, the ban on cattle slaughter here in Guanzhong has almost become a dead letter.

The only exception is wool.

Because sheep eat grass, even the grass roots and seeds are turned over and eaten up, which will cause huge damage to the sandy soil of the pasture environment.

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

The prairie is not included here.

The price of wool kept soaring, and the tribal leaders who urgently needed a lot of money went to Shengzhou to buy all kinds of exquisite goods for enjoyment, and began to raise merino sheep frantically.

However, the support capacity of the grassland is limited. At the beginning, the number of cattle and horses was reduced. When the tribe has almost only sheep left, if it wants to expand the scale, it can only grab the grassland from other tribes.

Faced with the huge profits brought by wool, Tian Khan's ban was all left behind by the red-eyed nobles.

When the news was transmitted to Chang'an City via the telegram from Shengzhou City, Li Er, who was having dinner with Empress Changsun, laughed and even patted his own thighs on the spot.

Empress Changsun never asked about political affairs, so naturally she would not speak out to find each other. 'Why is Your Majesty laughing? '

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

When Li Er rushed to leave the palace, Empress Changsun arranged for the maids to pack up the unfinished dishes, while she frowned and went to find Li Chengqian.

Over the past few days, Li Chengqian, who has been under tremendous psychological pressure because of Li Changli's conversion to Lixian, has often caused trouble for Empress Changsun.

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

As a mother and wife, Empress Changsun, in a dilemma, can only try her best to turn things around.

She had to let Li Chengqian understand that as long as he can cheer himself up, as long as her eldest grandson and empress are still alive, even if it is a secret establishment of a reserve, it must be your name written on it!
Li Er speeded up his horse and galloped to Lijiazhuang.

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

"Your Majesty, what good thing has happened to you?"

Seeing Li Er's face full of spring breeze, Li Yunze, who was eating the chicken leg, was very curious.

"Your strategy is working." Li Er happily picked up the jug and poured himself wine. "There are tribes in the northern grasslands fighting for the grassland."

"Oh." Hearing this, Li Yunze suddenly realized, "It's time to cut down."

For the Central Plains Dynasty, which has already occupied almost all the fertile land in East Asia, the harassment from the northern grasslands has always been a threat.

Li Er, who became Tian Khan, couldn't really think that he was the boss of the grassland tribe, and he had been thinking about how to solve the threat from the Northland.

Historically, he has adopted a strategy of fusion, which is fusion through 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 filled with a large number of aliens, just like the Roman Empire back then, which is indeed a very important reason.

In terms of this world, Li Er accepted Li Yunze's suggestion and adopted the strategy of cutting down.

The so-called population reduction is to set a population limit for each tribe. If it exceeds, all of them must be eliminated, so as to curb the growth of their strength from the root.

It's just that an excuse is needed to promote the strategy of reducing the number of men. After all, Li Er is a Tian Khan who needs face, unlike wild boar skins that are directly slaughtered with a knife and gun.Of course, the more important thing is that the tribes are not cattle and sheep, of course they will not stretch their necks to allow Datang to reduce their size, which requires
To opportunity.

Now that the tribes are competing for the pastures for wool, this excuse and opportunity has come.

"That's right." Li Er, who squinted his eyes, said with satisfaction, "I intend to disobey the teachings and violate the sacred order, and the only way to do it is to cut down."

"It's indeed a good opportunity." Li Yunze nodded again and again, "It's just that we shouldn't do it now."

"Oh." Li Er raised his eyebrows, "Be clear."

"This is an opportunity. Instead of reducing these tribes now, we should encourage them to merge and spread the flames of war throughout the prairie."

Li Er's experience is so rich, and he understood after a little thought, "What you mean is to abandon the previously agreed step-by-step from point to point, and simply make things bigger, let all the grasslands become a mess, and then reduce the number of small ones. Push it forward."

"Correct."

Li Yunze put down the drumsticks and wiped his hands, "Let them fight, you can even secretly encourage them, whoever wins can occupy more and better pastures. After all the tribes have formed blood feuds and lost the power to resist Tang Dynasty , the best way to make them
From now on, I can only be a sheep herder. "

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

These words successfully amused Li Yunze, he had been an emperor before.Although I had no experience at the beginning and did a lot of embarrassing things, it gradually improved later on.

Satisfied, Li Er decided to arrange manpower after going back, to add fire to the tribes on the grassland, and let them fight for the grassland to raise sheep.

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

Pick up the wine and drink it, pick up the food and eat it.Li Er even had the leisure to talk to Li Yunze about the rhythm of the poems.

Seeing Li Er proudly showing a poem to him, Li Yunze nodded in admiration.

When it comes to making poems, Li Yunze can become a porter, and he can write three hundred Tang poems in front of Li Er.

But these are at most what he memorized when he was in school. His real ability cannot be said to be lacking, but it is definitely not as good as 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 a skill to make them.

On the contrary, it is Li Yunze's kind of exam-oriented education, who can memorize poems but can't compose them. He can only memorize them by rote but has no creativity at all.

Li Er, who gained a sense of superiority from Li Yunze, felt better.

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

Li Er was in a good mood until he saw the gift Li Yunze was going to give Li Ji.

".This is"

Looking at the photo of Li Ji in military uniform, which was about ten feet tall, Li Er's voice was a little dry.

In the photo, Li Jiding is wearing a helmet and wearing armor all over his body.

The armor is bright, the leather boots are shiny, and the saber in his hand is proudly looking forward.

That look, that demeanor is really lifelike, just like a real person.

"This was blackmailed by Mr. Li." Li Yunze got angry when he mentioned this matter, and Li Ji threatened himself to give an explanation by seeing through his plan to trap the aristocrats of the Kanto family.

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

Looking at Li Er who was staring blankly at the military uniform photo, Li Yunze was thoughtful, "Does Your Majesty want that too?"

Li Er, who came back to his senses, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, "This painting is magnificent, and the artistry is exquisite. Even Yan Qing has never done such a handwriting."

This is not drawn, of course, Yan Liben's hands can't compare with the pixels of the camera.

But these are not important, Li Yunze immediately stated, "What should I do? Your Majesty can just take a picture if you want. It's just a small matter of a few thousand yuan."
