Chapter 1489 Small Treasury

Regarding the departure of General Mo Lun, there was not much turmoil in the Western Regions. General Mo Lun was originally a pillar of the Gaochang Kingdom. However, due to the deliberate weakening of the influence of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, even if General Mo Lun left, it would be like Gaochang Kingdom. It didn't have much impact.

Cheng Chumo had already ordered that the armies in various parts of the Western Region be on level 2 alert, for fear of causing a series of abnormalities. Unexpectedly, in the few days after General Mo Lun left, the entire Western Region was peaceful.

"It seems that we have worried too much. His Highness's various policies in the Western Regions are enough to ensure that the people of the Western Regions will love the Tang Dynasty. Even if General Mo Lun leaves, they still believe that the Western Regions policy will continue and will not be affected by a certain person. People change.”

Xiao Shougui sat on the main seat, keeping in mind these past few days. After all, General Mo Lun was the highest-ranking ethnic minority general in the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, during such changes, what they thought did not happen in the Western Regions.

According to what Cheng Chumo thought, there was a high probability that some unrest would occur. After all, many people would over-guess the court's policies. Although the Protectorate of the Western Regions had issued various official documents, some people would still cause trouble.

Fortunately, everything has been peaceful these past few days, and General Molun has already left Gaochang.

"Changes in the Western Region did not happen overnight. The current situation that has occurred is due to the efforts of His Highness and everyone here. We must continue to stick to this result."

Cheng Chumo is a rough man, but it can also be seen from the peace in the Western Regions that Li Xiang formulated various policies not just to benefit the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, but to make all people sympathize with the Tang Dynasty, so as to prevent future problems. Other things.

As the smartest person here, Zhang Jiuli did not say anything. This guy also saw Li Xiang's strategies very clearly. What are the people most concerned about? What I care about most is my own job.

It's a pity that many people just don't understand this. If those people understood this, I'm afraid they would have done a lot of things well. Li Xiang has been paying attention to this matter from the beginning. Many people in the Western Regions cannot eat, so I Find a way to put food on your table, and make it better than what you were eating before.

Under such circumstances, it would be really hell if there was still a rebellion.

After Zhang Jiuli came to the Western Regions, he also discovered many unstable factors in the Western Regions, but these people were just making small fuss. It was simply impossible for them to raise an army to resist the Tang Dynasty. Why would people who had enough to eat follow? Are you raising an army? Could it be that Qibing was just playing house? If there was a slight mistake, the whole family would be punished.

The smell of blood in the Gobi Desert has just dissipated. As long as you can have a bite of food, who is willing to follow you people and mess around? Li Xiang's positioning at the beginning was extremely accurate, which was also one of the reasons why the entire Western Region was safe.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about another thing. I heard that the battlefield in Vietnam has quieted down. Does that mean that His Highness is going to return to the Western Regions? According to what His Highness said before, we will not We can just wait here. Now that the Anxi Protectorate, which is what His Highness calls Central Asia, is already our territory, are we going to take action against the Arab Empire? "

Cheng Chuliang didn't care about this. What he cared about the most was the Arab Empire. If this guy were to be a local official, he would probably destroy a place in three or two days. But if it comes to leading troops to fight, this guy is really capable. Ranked first, including his eldest brother Cheng Chumo, none of them were as energetic as him on the battlefield.

"Yes, yes, I am also concerned about this matter. Now the entire Western Region has been wiped out, and the military stations in various places are also well built. We are working hard now, and we are just short of a target. If we don't come If so, can we still wait every day? I think it’s good to take the initiative.”

Li Chengyi was almost asleep just now. In his opinion, even if General Mo Lun left, there would be no big turmoil in the entire Western Region. This guy patrols outside every day, so he naturally knows what the surrounding tribes are doing. How can anyone still be there? Thinking about the rebellion and fighting, now I am thinking about when the caravan will come, seize the time to hand over the things in the tribe to the caravan, and then exchange them for various materials that they need to survive, and then work hard to live after going back, so that The number of tents in my house has changed from one to two, and from two to four.

So at the beginning of this meeting, he felt it was a bit redundant. You all work in the Yamen every day and never go to the Gobi Desert. There are people who want to cause trouble, but they are very few. I hope they shout. If their voice can pull a team together, then they are just daydreaming.

"You just talk about fighting, we have to have money. As long as we mobilize the troops, it will cost a lot of money. Don't expect the court to allocate funds to us. Last year's Yellow River disaster cost the court a lot of money. , and also transferred a lot of beef and mutton from our side.”

Xiao Shougui sighed. It would be better if we didn't fight these days, but if you don't want to fight, people may target you. Just like His Highness said, how can others sleep soundly beside the bed? We have already followed The Arab Empire has fought once, so don't expect it to end like this. You have to defeat the other side. Who makes both sides a powerful empire?

"Isn't it easy to get money? Don't we have enough money here? Don't you have the small treasury in your hands? There is no problem in supporting a war."

Because of Li Xiang, although these people present have different official positions, they all speak very casually, especially Li Chengyi is still a member of the royal family. If it comes to status, these people here may not be as good as him.

"Can you please keep your voice down? Where did you get the little treasury?"

Xiao Shougui wanted to shut his mouth. Although the people standing guard outside the door were all his own people, this matter could not be spread. If it were spread, these people present might be sued. The capital had already issued an edict Several times, armies in various regions are not allowed to have small treasury.

After Li Chengyi finished speaking, he also regretted it. If he were to be stabbed out, people from the Hubu Yamen would probably come to take over. This guy also looked out with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, there were only his own people in the tent, and there were no people outside the tent. Others, otherwise, because of his words, the small treasury of the Western Region Army will be gone, then he will simply go back to Chang'an to retire, and the army here will not be able to allow him to continue here.
