Autumn is the season of harvest, and so is the family of the people and the family of the heaven.

After the autumn, the tribute and taxes of the provinces began to be transported to Beijing one after another. The important water and land roads in Guanzhong were constantly traveling from day to night, and the money and grain from all over the world were continuously transfusions to the capital.

Compared with previous years, there is another biggest difference this year, that is, after more than three years of rest, the Hebei prefectures began to officially pay full taxes to the court this year.

Although the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory, it was not a rich town everywhere. Due to the influence of historical factors, natural environment, production technology and population distribution, the degree of development in different regions is also different.

The so-called "Huguang" in later generations is familiar with the world, and there is no trace at the moment. Even Jiangnan has become an important granary for the Tang Dynasty, but it still has great potential and development space waiting to be discovered.

When it comes to areas that are truly developed and mature, Hebei is definitely among the best, and it has a deep foundation in both farming and handicraft production. Especially in southern Hebei, the prefectures along the Yellow River, where the Yellow River has not yet flooded, it is definitely one of the most important money and grain bases in the Tang Dynasty, and it has even surpassed Guanzhong.

After several years of rest and recuperation, Hebei finally emerged from the shadow of military disasters and turmoil and regained its ability to transfusion blood to the court. Therefore, the task of transporting tributes and taxes in the provinces this year has been heavier than in previous years. Of course, no one will feel that this labor is hard.

As the numbers on the money and grain book grew day by day, the warehouse residences inside and outside the Gyeonggi gradually became fuller. Everyone in the entire court, from the saints, was so happy that they couldn't stop.

Money and grain are the basis for maintaining and continuing to develop all personnel operations. From small one to large one country, when money and grain are full, it means that there will be more choices and operation space, which is undoubtedly a pleasure for both body and mind.

Although Li Tong was the king of a country, and before he became emperor, his status was noble, he rarely had the opportunity to feel the taste of spending money and food.

Although the power and status have been growing, the problems faced are becoming more and more complicated and difficult. They have been in a state of dissatisfaction for a long time, and have always maintained an extremely sensitive attitude towards the entry and exit of money and food.

A few days ago, he even took an afternoon to go to Taicang for on-site inspection. When he saw the scene of the warehouse full of money and grain, he felt a sense of satisfaction of a mouse falling into the rice warehouse.

Of course, you have to spend money when you have money. Only by saving or not spending is a problem. For example, Emperor Wen of Sui has been in stock for decades, but he ended up meeting a prodigal son like Emperor Yang of Sui. The Sui Dynasty was lost, but the money and food he saved could still take care of his relatives.

Of course, the current money and grain reserves in the Tang Dynasty are absolutely difficult to compare with the Sui Dynasty. Li Tong did not consider whether his children and grandchildren would be defeated or not, because he was already hungry and wanted to squander something.

Although there will be some planning estimates for the tribute taxes of the states in the previous year, the variables in this are still not small. Will there be floods, droughts, bandits and other natural disasters and man-made disasters in the next year, whether the prefectures and counties can collect money and grain on time, and whether the money and grain can be transported to the capital smoothly. In short, only when you see these money and grain taxes truly enter the official warehouse can you feel at ease.

Then, the next step is to consider how to spend this money to generate greater value. Among the various ways of consuming money and food, war is undoubtedly the largest gold-selling cave, an incinerator.

Before this, Li Tong had already had various ideas about Qinghai, but even though the money and food had not been officially in place, no matter how many thoughts were, he would inevitably feel a little weak. He was worried that the change would be too fierce, and he might not be able to grasp it.

But now, there is really nothing to be afraid of, so get impatient! Whether it is Zampo, or Qinling in Haixi, whoever you hold back will be my grandson!

However, people really should not be too crazy, otherwise they will be extremely happy and sad. Soon, Li Tong understood this truth again.

"In mid-September, Qinling of Haixi led three thousand elite soldiers to secretly leave Fuqi City, and led his troops to sneak into Jiyu City, and invaded and killed the little king of Tuyuhun Mohe Khan in that territory. Khan's troops were killed and injured. Khan himself praised the princess of Mengji and also buried his corpse outside Jiyu City..."

The Qinghai Army envoy Murong Fu rushed into Beijing from Haidong and reported in detail what had just happened in Qinghai to the court.

When he heard that Qin Ling was so bold, neither Li Tong nor other officials in the palace could help but widen his eyes and was surprised.

Li Tong of course understood that heroes like Qinling would never be willing to wait for death. Therefore, while actively interacting with the Gar family, he was also closely watching the development of the situation on the other side. He was full of curiosity about how Qinling would choose to break the situation, and repeatedly told the civil and military officials of Haidong and Longbian to be careful and not to underestimate the threat because of the current difficulties the Gar family faced. As long as a person like Qinling could not be beaten to death, he could suddenly start and hurt people at any time.

However, he still didn't expect that Qin Ling's method of choosing to break the deadlock was so fierce that he led a small number of troops to work directly with Zanpu in his country, and even killed one of the royal members. Although he was surprised, it sounded happy.

"The Tubo king came in a fierce momentum. He was suddenly backfiring in order to solve the problem of the Gar family. What kind of reaction did he do?"

Li Tong asked again quickly, and had already begun to consider how many more people to send to Longbian to join in the fun.

Although Murong Fu talked about the invasion of the king and ministers of the enemy, he did not look much joy on his face, but was quite serious. After hearing the saint's question, he said: "At that time, there were tens of thousands of armored soldiers gathered in Jiyu City, and they were all strong soldiers in the Tubo country. However, no soldier dared to leave the city at that time, and only lived in the city to watch. Afterwards, Zanpu did not send troops to attack, but was ordered to donate money to atone for his mistaken killing of the princess of Jibang..."

"How could this be?"

Li Tong was even more surprised when he heard this, and suspected that he had heard it wrong, or was there any mistake in Murong Fu's news investigation?

What is this logic? Tubo Zanpu had been holding it in for several years before he could use such a big move. He finally had to officially attack the Gar family. Li Tong even prepared a spoon here, so he planned to wait until they were in full swing to scoop a few spoonfuls of dog brains to taste, but Zanpu was in a hurry?

Murong Fu did not dare to keep an absent, which made the saint puzzled for too long. Then he continued: "The reason for this is that Qinling claimed that the little king of Tuyuhun was treason and possessed relevant evidence. The Fan Kingdom Zanpu verified it without a doubt, so he handled it like this..."

When he talked about this, Murong Fu paused again, and then said, "As for the crimes committed by the little king of Tuyuhun, it is said that he wanted to recruit his troops to surrender to our Tang Dynasty. I don't know if the court has such a plan, but the news from the other side is indeed the case, so I will repay you based on this."

When Li Tong heard this, he was stunned again. The changes in the situation in Qinghai reported by Murong Fu's return to Beijing this time brought him so much surprise that his thinking could not keep up for a while.

The situation was too drastically changed and did not follow the script at all. The Tubo Zanpu, who should have been proactive and aggressive, has been leading his troops to move forward. Instead, the Gar family, which was in a bad situation and needed passive defense, took the initiative to attack and led their troops to rush outside Fuqi City.

As for the so-called Tuyuhun little king, why is it related to the Tang Dynasty? To be honest, Li Tong really doesn't know which kind of scallion this guy is. Although the relevant reports mentioned this person, in Li Tong's eyes, they have always been like background boards. It is really difficult to have any impact on the overall situation as a puppet of the country. To fully utilize Qinghai, the Gar family will be the focus.

After listening to Murong Fu's report, Li Tong first endured the confusion in his heart and asked someone to get the information related to Qinghai before. After carefully reading it, he suddenly became angry. Who is the one who is cheating me!

Although this matter seems to be just a battle between the ruler and the ministers of Tubo, the only thing that has something to do with the Tang Dynasty is the false charge of the little Tuyuhun king intending to betray Tubo and surrender to the Tang Dynasty. However, this connection can make the Tang Dynasty’s overall military arrangement in Qinghai passive!

First of all, Tubo Zanpu led his troops through Xikang without the permission of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had already reacted so fiercely. Now that the Tang Dynasty actually instigated an important national leader of Tubo to betray Tubo, what kind of reaction would Tubo give?

Although this fact is a bit inexplicable and completely unknown, so I was detained. But if you want to eliminate the misunderstanding, you must at least communicate? But not long ago, the Tang Dynasty just said that it would no longer talk to Tubo, but now it is turned around and rushed to explain, I, the saint of the Tang Dynasty, don’t have any face?

Secondly, the Tang Dynasty had its own strategy in Qinghai, so the so-called Tuyuhun King was not in the plan at all. But now all the Tubo monarchs and ministers believed that Tuyuhun King committed this crime, so what would others think and what would they think?

Especially the original Tuyuhun deceased people who were communicating and deployed in Qinghai, would they also think this matter is true? While winning over and driving them, the Tang Dynasty was secretly developing other routes!

Although Tuyuhun has now destroyed its country, its split situation is deeply rooted. The Tang Dynasty had a series of arrangements for restraint and appeasement to address this issue, and of course it was impossible to change its course easily. The conflicts among the people who destroyed Tuyuhun were also deeply conflicted and could not be reconciled. Even colluded with overseas forces and destroyed their own country, and could not tolerate the other party's power and gain power. It is conceivable what kind of hatred it was.

At this time, Li Tong understood why Murong Fu looked and had a weird attitude when he talked about this matter. I guess he was also wondering if this was really the case. Murong Fu is still a former employee of Li Tong's secret residence. Even though his mentality is like this, you can imagine what other relevant people will guess!
