Chapter 181

With a smile, Li Hong patted Pei Xingjian's armor and asked, "how? Is this armor much better than before? "

Pei Xingjian looks at the smile on Li Hong's face. During this period of time, it seems that the prince's Highness has grown up a lot, and the whole person seems to be more mature and wise.

"Thank you, daduhu. I thought this armor would be like other armor. After several cuts, the band would break and the armor would fall. But after looking at your armor, it was nailed with iron nails. You don't have to worry about it." Pei Xingjian patted the Oracle leaf on his chest.

"Yes, it's too heavy, and it's too bad for cavalry's reaction ability. Besides, it's easy to be pierced by arrows and throwing weapons. Naturally, it's not as good as the light armor we've improved."

"Daduhu, I'm sorry that I'm rude. I think that now this armor should not be called bright armor, but dark armor." Accompanied by Li Hong, Pei Xingjian looks around the whole Qiuci city.

From the perspective of his war experts, it is natural to see that the city of Kucha is not very peaceful, especially in the face of the north gate of A Gao Bernard Du branch, there are obvious traces of cavalry in and out.

Li Hong smiles and doesn't speak. The dark color absorbs heat in winter. If there is nothing, it can provide a little temperature for the soldiers in the cold winter.

Moreover, under the supervision of several princesses and aunts, the cotton padded clothes were first sent to Pei Xingjian less than half a month after his expedition, which naturally solved the cost of military operations in the cold weather when suppressing Shule city.

Just like Li Zhi, when he knew how many people Wu Mei needed to pay Li Hong most of the money of Daming Palace in the western regions, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "little idiot, it's war in the western regions. This is money. With so much money, he doesn't care. I love him."

However, in view of the heavy battle results, Li Zhi also accepted the huge expenses. What's more, even if he didn't accept it, he had no proper way to prevent a large amount of money from flowing into the western regions.

Pei Xingjian ate pig ears, chewed hot pig hooves, and listened to Quan Yi and lawlessness. He finished what his royal highness Li Hong had done in Qiuci city for a long time, and the pig's hoof fell to the ground in surprise.

Looking back at Li Hong, Pei Xingjian suddenly got up and bowed to Li Hong. He bowed deeply and said, "please accept my Royal Highness the prince."

After that, he lifted up his robe and knelt down solemnly to kowtow to Li Hong.

He did not expect that Li Hong's military exploits in Qiuci city were more outstanding than those of his suppression of Shule city!

The prince's highness, who has been in the western regions since the end of the 20th century, has driven ashnatsu to the depths of the grassland by virtue of his 20000 men and horses, as well as the city of Kucha, which is not strictly defended!

Li Hong calmly accepted Pei Xingjian's kneeling down, motioned Pei Xingjian to rise in the void, and said, "there is no difference in the merits of war. As long as it can attack the enemy's arrogance, even if it is the recovery of an inch of land, it is real combat merit. You won back Shule city for the Tang Dynasty. It seems that you have done little in the war, but he has a greater and far-reaching influence on us in Anxi than when I drove ashnarduzhi to the depths of the grassland. "

"I thank his Highness for his praise. I am willing to hand over the military power to his highness. I ask his highness to allow him to rest in Qiuci city for a few days, and then immediately rush to the grassland and capture ashnatukhi." Pei Xingjian looked at Li Hong's smiling face and solemnly asked for a battle.

"No hurry." Li Hong shook his head, motioned for him to sit down and said, "this year, there have been rare natural disasters of baimaofeng on the grassland under the jurisdiction of the Hufu in Yunzhong and Anxi. Now the ashinatu branch is crouching in the depth of the grassland, and I'm afraid it will not be able to recover for a while. Even if he can be captured, others will come out to rebel. "

"What do you mean?" Pei Xing was thrifty, good at literature, military and military skills. Since he did not send troops, he had to govern the jurisdiction of Anxi capital.

Li Hong took a drink from his glass. After coming to the western regions, even the summer solstice and others began to drink occasionally, not because they liked to drink, but because the weather was too cold to keep warm.

"Now, both asna Duzhi and Li zhaimi are at the end of their tether. They are not enough to be afraid of. They are no longer a big threat to us. The people on the grassland, in the final analysis, are the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after the first day of the new year, we should give them some time to relax. This year, the white hair wind slaughter is too terrible, so I have ordered the Ministry of finance to transport 10000 yuan yuan in the future Once the grain is here. "

"Your Highness, such a large amount of food will attract them to snatch it by any means. I'm afraid we will fall into a passive position at that time. Moreover, it is not only the cavalry of asnaduzhi who will rob. In order to fill their stomachs, their people will certainly not miss this opportunity Pei Xingjian was shocked. According to the prince's idea, this is not to recruit thieves.

"That's what we need. We should not only let them know that there is enough food here, but also let them know that they can get it free of charge." Li Hong looked at Pei Xingjian's shocked face and said with confidence.Pei Xingjian frowned, unable to figure out what Li Hong's intention was. After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out why, so he said, "please enlighten the prince."

Compared with the Central Plains, especially the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the western regions are much poorer.

In the western regions, even if you have money, you can't buy even a bucket of grain in the period of food shortage.

What's more, copper coins have been circulating in the western regions for many years, but the western regions still haven't got rid of a large number of trading means of barter. Therefore, even if there is more food supply to the western regions, it is not a very reasonable way for the government to provide relief to the poor.

But if you want to control the nomads in the north of kuizi City, you have to provide them with food if you want to get rid of them. In this way, when they have enough food, they will not continue to rebel with asnaduzhi.

So Li Hong chased ashinatuzhi on the icy and snowy grassland. After pursuing him for half a month, he suddenly thought of the grain coupon, a trade form that existed when the people just founded the people's Republic of China, that is, each person can get the food according to the fixed amount every month.

In this way, it can not only make the people under the ashinadu branch have something to eat, but also can control them not to rebel. They can get paid by ticket once a month, and Li Hong can clearly find out how many nomadic people there are on the grassland in the north.

Looking at Pei Xingjian, who looked surprised and didn't quite understand, Li Hong continued: "it's not only for them, but also for the whole Anxi Prefecture. They will implement this policy. On the one hand, they can control their rebellion. On the other hand, they can find out how many people there are in Anxi."

"But the people on the grassland have more cattle and sheep, and they are in short supply for the time being..."

"In this year's white hair storm, I'm afraid that most of the cattle and sheep will freeze to death on the grassland. What are the herdsmen short of?" Li Hong looks at Pei Xingjian, who doesn't understand it, and reminds him.

"They are short of clothes, vegetables, tea and so on. They are all necessities they need. So you can keep balance by using food stamps. Will the food stamps be used as a kind of currency?"

Li Hong shook his head. It was impossible for grain stamps to be used as money. I'm afraid it could not fully meet the necessary conditions for currency transaction in this period.

The purpose of using food coupons in this way is to control the nomads with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is to use the goods of the Tang Dynasty to exchange for a large number of war horses and other materials of the nomadic people. This secretly weakens the possibility of the nomadic people's continuous rebellion and makes room for Anxi to deal with powerful threats such as Tubo.

Pei Xingjian nodded vaguely. Although the prince's plan was not a long-term plan, it was a temporary stability strategy in the complicated and chaotic Anxi capital.

"What shall we do now?" Pei Xingjian asked.

"Xue Rengui is the most suitable Garrison for shatiya. However, his legendary story that three arrows fixed the Tianshan Mountain at that time made him enjoy high prestige there. Wang Mingyuan now accompanies pilus to guard the Persian governor's office, and orders them to take defense as the main task and not to conflict with big food in white easily."

Looking at the sand table in the house, Li Hong pointed to the town of broken leaves and said, "Shule is guarded by the black tooth Chang. If necessary, you can rush to help shatiya or the Persian governor's house directly in front of him. And you, after the new year's Day..."

"Your Highness, you stay here. How about going to Khotan? Now it is more and more obvious that after the first spring festival of the first year, Tubo will certainly harass our border Pei Xingjian asked for instructions in a hurry.

Li Hong shakes his head and is in a dilemma. Pei Xingjian will be distracted whether he is in Kucha or Khotan. However, Tubo is in a real plateau, and his troops may not be able to adapt to the environment there.

His iron futu is still the left back and lawless right back led by Quan Yi. Every year in recent years, he has been pulled to high altitude for training. These are not the advantages that Pei Xingjian's army and horse can have.

"You guard Kucha, there are a lot of things you need to do. Besides, the Ministry of works and the Ministry of housing will send a large number of officials here. If I deal with them, they will feel that life is worse than death every day. You'd better deal with them." The stick in Li Hong's hand was painted around the city of Kucha on the sand table.

"What do you mean, your highness?" Pei Xingjian was shocked. It seems that the prince wants to make a great achievement in Qiuci. It is not as simple as he thinks.
