I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 324 Potatoes, smuggling?
Qinghai.

Li Daliang Liangzhou army garrison.

Li Daliang, wearing an armor and battle robe, was riding a tall horse and leading a team of personal guards to patrol the pass.

Not far away, a group of Qinghai soldiers met Li Daliang and hurried over to greet him.

But when they came over, Li Daliang found that there was also a group of tightly bound Hu merchants accompanying them.

"What's going on here?" Li Daliang asked suspiciously.

"Back to the governor, when I was inspecting the goods of these Hu merchants, I found potato seeds."

"Huh? Smuggling potato seeds?"

"Exactly."

Li Daliang frowned when he heard that these people dared to smuggle potato seeds.

"Do you know the person behind the scenes?"

"I've already been tortured, and I'm the Turkic envoy, who wants to smuggle potato seeds and plant them in the new land of Persia."

Now the news that Datang owns the anti-tian grain potato has begun to spread, and many foreign forces are inquiring about the news of this new grain.

It is naturally impossible for Datang to let new grains such as potatoes flow out.

Therefore, this thing is stipulated as a prohibited product, and it is forbidden to flow out of the territory of Datang.

Even farmers need official permission to sow seeds. All grains are distributed by the government, and the harvest is also recorded.

It can be said that the control is quite strict.

There is a potato planting base in Liangzhou, so it is normal for smuggling to occur.

It's just that Li Daliang has always severely cracked down on this kind of smuggling behavior. Once discovered, he directly chopped off his head and hung him up.

It is much crueler than smuggling Qinghai salt.

At least there is no need to die for smuggling Qinghai salt, and it is usually sent to work as a coolie.

Leave at least one dog life.

"Kill them all, hang up their heads, and warn others who dare to smuggle potatoes, similar fate!"

"Doesn't the governor want to stay and be a miner?"

"No need, these businessmen basically have no strength, and they are sent to the mines, but it will not help, so let's kill them all."

"Here!"

After thinking for a while, Li Daliang said again, "Leave two alive."

"Yes." The younger brother replied respectfully.

The team raised their forehands and ordered loudly, "Except for the first two to confess, everyone else will be executed!"

"Yes!"

Before the Liangzhou soldiers who came with Li Daliang could react, they saw that the Qinghai soldiers had killed the Hu merchants completely, leaving only two alive, trembling there, sobbing and weeping.
"Where are the potato seeds?" Li Daliang continued to ask.

"It has been sent back to Liangzhou."

"Well, that's good, remember, don't let any potato seed go out of the country."

"Here!"

After those Qinghai soldiers left, the leader of the guards around him asked, "Commander, this is not an option. Last time it was Tubo who sent people to steal potato seeds, and this time it was Turks again. If this continues, I am afraid there will be more people." More forces are coveting."

Li Daliang snorted coldly, "Hmph, Tubo and Turkic are just jumping the wall in a hurry, thinking that they will be able to compete with my Tang Dynasty if they get potatoes and grain seeds, delusional."

"Even if they get potatoes, they won't pose a threat to us, but what should be stopped must be stopped. Although it has little impact on the overall situation, if the enemy country increases its strength, our army will have to pay an extra price. So, you guys There is no need to worry too much about the outflow of grain seeds, just do your own thing well."

"Here!"

Li Daliang looked up into the distance, filled with emotion in his heart.

In the past, Tubo guys and Xianbei guys often pretended to be aggressive near Liangzhou.

And on my side, I often have no choice but to silently watch them pretend to be aggressive.

Well now, one of the two pretenders is dead and the other is disabled, now it's Li Daliang's turn to pretend.

It can be said that the wind and water are turning.

He, Li Daliang, didn't even need to go out on his own, the Bolu Kingdom and the Xiangxiong Kingdom alone had already begun to go deep into the ancestral home of Tubo.

In addition, Datang also supported a Dongnu country and sold them some broken weapons in stock, so these people dared to fight with the Tubo guys.

Especially the Bolu Kingdom, which now seems to have developed into a hegemony in the Western Regions.

It was this successor who made his fortune, which made Li Daliang smile bitterly, that he developed by relying on a magic stick.

It's incredible.

"Over Dongnv Country, you can earn some extra money, but remember not to sell them standard weapons."

"Don't worry, the governor, they are all defective products, I dare not make mistakes."

As for Li Daliang, where did these defective products come from?

In fact, they were all obtained from Shunfeng. Except for the defective products of Hegang Workshop and Heaven and Earth Workshop, most of them were confiscated loot from Liaoren.

There are so many savages in the south, and Li Ke organizes a wave of activities to crack down on the evil forces from time to time. In addition to improving performance, there is another hidden reason, which is to earn some extra money.

Sell ​​all the trophies to SF Express, and SF Express sells them to the border, and sells them to allies at a high price, so that these allies can help fight against the enemy.

Get more in one fell swoop.

As for this buddy Li Ke, he doesn't need to pay almost any price, he doesn't need to pay for manpower, money and food, as long as he has a name.

This deal is definitely worth it.

"This Qinghai soldier is not organized by the military government. The money and food are all in charge of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion. If it weren't for the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, there are some channels to get it."

For making money, Li Daliang still has no face to say it.

Patting the horse's neck, Li Daliang, who had stayed in Liangzhou for so many years, continued with some emotion, "After all, it's all about human effort. Liangzhou can have today because it has met a lucky star."

The lucky star Li Daliang mentioned was naturally Li Mu.

At the beginning, relying on Li Mu's potato seeds, Liangzhou was peaceful for a while, then with Li Mu's Northwest Reconstruction Plan, Liangzhou was forcibly built into a model city, and finally because of Li Mu's gradual growth, all kinds of feedback , Liangzhou is already a big city with a name under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Back then, when Li Daliang first arrived in Liangzhou, he was confronted with a lot of problems, and those who were in a bad mood probably resigned and quit.

Just the miscellaneous ethnic issues of Qiang people, Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Tuyuhun people, Huns and so on are enough for him to have a headache.

Not to mention feeding the local people in Liangzhou.

If it weren't for Li Mu's appearance, it's hard to say what kind of ghost this Liangzhou would be like.

The current peace in Liangzhou, in addition to the extermination of the Tuyuhun, the Xianbei people were scattered, and the Dangxiang people and the Qiang people were also suppressed by external reasons.

The more essential reason is that their own conditions have become stronger, and they have money, food and people.

When these conditions are met, there are still problems that cannot be solved.

Moreover, the peace and stability of the surrounding areas of Liangzhou not only brought protection to the local people, but also provided protection to the Silk Road of Longyou Road.

All in all, rejoice!
That is, the biggest hero, no one will remember.

Li Mu's name did not appear in the credit book.

As for him, Li Daliang himself, he was also taken over.

The greatest credit is only the great, bright and correct Tian Khan His Majesty.

According to future history books, "Liangzhou is majestic, and the tiger looks at the northwest, and the superior is enlightened!"
