Chapter 1259: Soldiers are expensive and fast

If he had not been with this army, Li Xiang would not have discovered the problem. When getting along with each other, Li Xiang could see from the eyes of these people that they did not have much sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. , still want to continue the living habits of our ancestors...

If there had been no interference in the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang would not have brought them all down from the mountains. But this generation will not raise troops to resist. As for the next generation, as long as you continue to live in the mountains, then the whole of Sichuan will not Stable factors, Li Xiang will never leave such a hidden danger near Chang'an.

So even if there are many difficulties, Li Xiang has to pull these people down from the mountain. This is something that will benefit future generations. If we avoid this problem, then future generations will have ten times the resources to solve it. It will be even more worrying then.

Soon the army arrived in Nanzhao, and Chang Sun Ze was already waiting here.

"Why didn't you come to me on the southern border? Are you really afraid that I won't take you to the war?"

Li Xiang's words made Changsun Ze a little embarrassed. In fact, the two brothers did think this way. If Li Xiang didn't take their brothers to the front line, they would never know when they wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, even if their father You are the chief minister of the imperial court, so you must have merit that can be taken away from you. Otherwise, even if your father wants to talk to you, the imperial court does not belong to your father.

"As long as my brother is near the border, I won't be of much use there. I might as well come here to protect His Highness."

Changsun Ze said with a smile. In the distance was his cavalry team of about two thousand people. Li Xiang also saw it from the car. They were really elite. These days, this guy didn't do anything else to train his men hard. Soldiers just want to go to the battlefield one day and use this army to make achievements for themselves.

"How is the preparation situation in Nanzhao? I mentioned it to them last time when I left."

After chatting for a while, we got to the point. We were getting closer and closer to the border. Last time we went over to take a look, but this time we were really going to fight.

"All walks of life in the country are very cooperative with the current border areas. The warehouses we built are already full. In addition, their various domestic resources continue to be concentrated, which can fully support us in fighting this war."

After hearing this, Li Xiang nodded. Could it be that the status of the people in the country has been improved? This is right. They themselves have little resistance to the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court has also agreed to them. As long as they conquer the land in the south, they Priority purchase is available.

As for the land in the south, the people in Nanzhao are very clear. The plain area is not too large, but it can reach 30% per year. This means that the amount of rice produced is huge. Once it is taken, it can be purchased from the court. On a piece of land, if you are lucky and share some prisoners of war, you will immediately become a small landowner.

Many people in Nanzhao live like this in Fusang. Unfortunately, Fusang is too far away from home, and no one is willing to leave their hometown. If they can get a piece of land there, it will not be very far from home. They can not only take care of their home, but also If you can make a fortune, why not do such a thing?

Of course, it's too far to think about those things now. The most important thing is that the Tang Dynasty must win first. As long as the Tang army wins, our little days will be in front of us. So when preparing for war, we people also You have to do your part, otherwise you won't even be qualified to buy.

"You two brothers are really smart people, you can even think of this purchase qualification..."

When Li Xiang heard this, he praised him repeatedly. These two brothers have figured out these things. Using administrative orders to ask a person to do things may appear to be good on the surface, but secretly they have no intention and cannot meet our expectations. Require.

But if he is willing to do it himself, no matter whether there is an administrative order here or not, he will want to do it well. The south represents their dream of being a landlord, so they will be more attentive.

"This is all information provided by His Highness. People from the mainland don't have much interest in these places. If they are allowed to come here, I guess they won't be able to find San Gua Liang Zao. If no one goes there by then, just rely on With the military occupation, our local rule is a little too loose. If the people in Nanzhao are willing to go to the local landlords and in order to protect their property, they will also establish a group of their own private armed forces, then our rule will be stronger."

Regarding this matter, Changsun Ze has already discussed this matter with his brother many times. If our people do not go there, then our army will be rootless in the local area and may be blown away at any time.

The private armed forces of the common people will indeed threaten our rule, but just after the war, the imperial court needs their private armed forces to stabilize the four sides. The interests of these landowners and the imperial court are consistent.

Once this dangerous situation has passed, we can establish local security forces and then seize the private armed forces of these landlords.

The landowners are just looking for money, and they don't want to maintain such a private armed force. After all, the monthly expenses are not a small amount. The court can guarantee their safety, so why should they bother with this?

Of course, some people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have, such as wanting to be an overlord or something. If this is the case, the imperial army is not vegetarian, so I will just give you a ride when the time comes, even your family property will be there. All the contents were confiscated to the officials.

"Go and make arrangements. This time, you will not enter the Nanzhao Royal City. There are also some officials from Nanzhao. Please tell them not to come to pay homage and to work properly for the court. After we conquer the Piao Kingdom in the south, they will be indispensable. the benefits of."

Seeing that they were approaching Nanzhao Royal City, Li Xiang knew that these officials must have various things to do. They had just met some time ago, and there was no need to waste time now.

Li Xiang always pays attention to the speed of his troops when fighting. It only takes a month from Chang'an City to the beginning of the war. Try not to have any delays on the way. The longer the delay, the more sudden the war will be. The smaller the number, the more difficult it is to win. Li Xiang knows this better than anyone else.

"My subordinates will do it immediately."

Changsun Ze nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to send messages to the people in Nanzhao Royal City, asking them to stay in the city and stop doing such nonsense... (End of Chapter)
