Chapter 201 Return
How can we make Jie Li, who maintains restraint, fight against Tu Li?
The method Yu Qiu used was to break their balance.
When Tuli, who has a weak military strength, is much richer than Jieli, Jieli will definitely not be able to suppress his robbery. Tuli is unwilling to give up and will definitely find a way to retaliate. The two of them will continue to escalate. In this process, other forces that were not originally within their attention will take advantage of the situation to rise.
The more mountains there are, the more beneficial it is for autumn, because he controls the wintering field and has a transcendent position on the grassland.
As long as the wintering farm helps the Turks survive the winter well in the first one or two years, then anyone who wants to attack and destroy it will be the sinners of all Turks.
The new etiquette that Yu Qiu and Tuli talked about is offering Hada.
The white silk scarf represents the pure friendship between the two peoples, conveys harmony and well-being, and marks high respect.
Of course, this is Yu Qiu's statement to Tuli or the chiefs of all Turkic tribes, and he has another statement to Li Shimin.
Silk is a high-end fabric that can only be produced by the Han people. When it becomes a must-have for the Turks or more nomadic peoples in etiquette places, then these people's demand for silk will increase greatly. This is a thing that is beneficial to the people of the Central Plains and should be vigorously promoted.
After hearing this, Li Shimin felt that the Ministry of Rites of the court needed to set up a program of offering Hada in the process of tribute to all ethnic minorities and small countries, which symbolizes pure friendship, conveys harmony and health, and signifies high respect. What a beautiful meaning! The most important thing is to combine politics with sales.
After most of the last day of discussion the next day, Yu Qiu, Li Shimin, Jie Li and Tuli jointly signed their own name on the alliance drafted with the consent of the four parties and used seals.
In the witness of 12,000 soldiers, they offered Hada to each other and swear to the sky that they would follow the covenant.
Such rituals and covenants were the first time in history, and everyone felt very new. Li Shimin even asked the army leader Bo to record the entire process in detail so that he could report to the court later.
After the four people signed and sealed the four alliance letters, Shanyang City became the territory of Li Tang.
Yu Qiu easily completed what he said before, and recovered all the land within a hundred miles north of Shanyang without any effort. This was also a loophole that the Turks had no territorial consciousness at the moment.
Apart from a few places with lush water and grass, they are not very interested in how big the grassland is, hundreds of miles more and hundreds of miles less.
However, Li Shimin began to think about how great the benefits these border cities might bring to Li Tang in the future. After all, without war, the fertile land here is very suitable for farming, and it can be used to entertain people who do business and set up tax checkpoints.
After the agreement is reached, it will be operated quickly. Yu Qiu brought the Ghost Face Rider back to Mingzhou and began the preliminary design and personnel and material allocation arrangements for the construction of the wintering field.
Li Shimin went to Mayi and prepared to return to the DPRK to hand over the decree with the 30,000 troops he brought out from Guanzhong.
This time, he not only recovered the Heshuo area, opened up the passage from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, but also repelled the Turks, reached the Shanyang alliance with the Turks, and opened up land of at least a thousand miles in radius for Li Tang on the northern border. It was a great achievement. When he returned to Chang'an, he would inevitably receive rewards.
On Weize Pass, after Li Sanniang made temporary living arrangements for tens of thousands of border residents, she also took more than 20,000 deputies to return to Chang'an. The court's arrangement for them was to temporarily remove their troops and return to their fields.
In the end, Gao Yaxian left Weize Pass because he brought all the elderly, weak, women, children and children among the border residents who were willing to live in Mingzhou.
In the process of resettling them, Li Sanniang has done their ideological work well. As long as the young and strong families are willing to go to the grassland to help Mingzhou build a two-year wintering farm, they can obtain land, houses, or work with stable income in Mingzhou.
This will add more than 5,000 households and more than 30,000 people to Mingzhou.
Yu Qiu has always disliked wasting time on the journey, but he still walked very slowly along the way.
Although the war in the north has ended, it will take at least two or three years to restore vitality. The political efficiency of this era is usually very low. Two or three months have passed, and the officials sent by the Li Tang court to various prefectures and counties have not yet taken office.
Yu Qiu passed many sparsely populated villages along the way and found many people who were frozen to death by the snow. In the end, he had to order the Ghost Face Rider to search for various villages along the way and take those people who could not survive to Mingzhou.
When the three thousand cavalry team entered Mingzhou, it had already become more than 30,000 people, but it took them half a month to travel for only more than a thousand miles.
Yu An prepared a lot of clothes and food to Jize County in the northern part of Mingzhou to welcome Yu Qiu, and at the same time reported to Yu Qiu some of the situation in Mingzhou.
Production in each county is basically proceeding in an orderly manner, but output and consumption are not proportional, because heavy snow almost blocks most commercial trade.
Among the more than 500,000 people, only 30% of them have worn new winter clothes made of fur, barely ensuring that they will not be frozen to death.
In terms of food, the cattle and sheep sent by Weizeguan and the reserved grain purchased by Yu Qiu through transactions can barely help everyone make a living, but the quality of the food has not improved much compared to before.
Half of it has been completed, and almost 100,000 acres of greenhouse vegetables have begun to produce.
In this cold winter, it is the season when all the families eat the vegetables they have stored in the cellar. They eat dried vegetables until they want to vomit. If fresh vegetables are sold on the market, they will definitely be outrageously expensive. Yu Qiu is outside and has not arranged these matters in detail. Wu'an County has not dared to harvest them, and wait until many vegetables are still in the fields, which makes Yu Qiu feel very depressed.
Since the Li Shicheng incident, the entire Mingzhou has basically been in a state of military control. When these officers with low cultural levels are usually more stubborn when dealing with such matters, they believe that at this critical moment, all materials, especially the public property invested and constructed by the Governor's Office, should be military reserves and no one can move them.
Since the vegetables in the greenhouse can be eaten, the correct way to deal with them is naturally to find a way to sell them at high prices after harvesting. No matter how bad it is, it will be taken out to improve everyone's food. If it doesn't move it, it is a waste.
He had almost no rest in Mingzhou, so Yu Qiu rushed to Wu'an County. At the same time, he was preparing to clarify the division of labor in the military and political system in the following days, re-arrange the personnel structure and redistribute the power structure.
You should know that the people he appointed from the middle and low management of the Lu family were actually very business-minded and would never make such a mistake of wasting resources.
It was just two or three months before he went to Weizeguan, and most of the vegetables did not miss the best time to eat. Yu Qiu immediately mobilized everyone to harvest them, and also received the system's redemption task.
The cotton species grown in nutritional bowls have grown to more than one meter high. Although there is no flowering and bovine due to insufficient sunshine, the system has determined that his task has been completed. How many acres of tomato fields can be planted in 80 kilograms of high-quality tomatoes can be planted? Yu Qiu was excited when he thought about it.
He only knew that as long as the 30 grams of tomato seeds had a seedling rate of 70%, it would probably produce about a thousand seedlings. One thousand seedlings could be planted in greenhouses of one acre of size in later generations. In this era, the fertility was slightly different from that in later generations. The area of one acre of land was also smaller. One thousand seedlings could be planted, and two acres of land were enough.
One Tang jin has more than 600 grams, which is enough to plant more than 40 acres or more than 80 kilograms, which can plant more than 30,000 acres. In this way, it does not require multiple rounds of planting, so that everyone can eat tomatoes directly.
Yu Qiu's top priority for the next few days by shoveling out cotton seedlings that cannot bloom and produce peaches, turning the soil and applying medicine to some fields where vegetables have been harvested.
Even in later generations, tomatoes are super high-yield crops, which can easily reach several thousand kilograms per acre. Most of the good greenhouse tomatoes produced by planting are more than 10,000 kilograms per acre.
Yu Qiu has good varieties produced systematically, and has his own targeted fertilizers based on the needs of tomatoes. The output should not be much lower than that of later generations.
