Chapter 1506 Chain Stronghold

To be honest, before seeing Li Xiang's stronghold strategy, General Mo Lun was really a little scared. After all, this place is unfamiliar to people, and no one knows what it will develop into. If the operation is not done well and His Highness's affairs are delayed, not only his own future, but also those of his family may be ruined.

So before Li Xiang left, General Molun became familiar with the situation here as quickly as possible. If he had any questions, he asked them as soon as possible. He had worked with Li Xiang in the Western Regions for so long, so he naturally knew what kind of person Li Xiang was. People can help you solve problems when you have them, but if you haven't done it well after the time to ask the question, it only means that there is a problem with your ability.

Nowadays, there are many famous people in the Tang Dynasty. If there is a problem with your ability, then you may not be able to continue in this position. There will be many people who want to replace you.

When he was in Chang'an City, General Morun also saw many declining nobles. These people used to be kings of various tribes, but what are they doing now? They squandered the wealth they had accumulated in the past, plus the salary given to them by the Tang Dynasty court, and ate and waited for death in Chang'an City.

Perhaps these people have long forgotten the glory of their ancestors. Now they only think about where there are beautiful singing girls and where the food is more delicious. There are some novel gadgets somewhere, but as for those things from the original country, they have long been forgotten.

The reason why they became like this is because they had nothing to do. The Tang Dynasty court did not directly let them fall like this. When they surrendered, the court still gave them some errands, but these people did not seek progress at all. I just wanted to enjoy myself, and in the end I lost my official position.

General Molun does not want to lose his official position just like this, especially with such a big hat. You must know that this is a real power. If he loses it like this, General Molun can guarantee that there will never be a third one in this life. Given a second chance, his future role models will be the declining nobles of Chang'an City.

This generation or two can still have a social status, and no one will bother you. After you are gone, your son will become a rich man. If he can manage it well, there may be In your early days, but if you are a prodigal, you will spend all your money within two or three generations. After more than a hundred years, I am afraid no one will remember you, and I am afraid you can only be found in history books.

As for your descendants, they are no different from ordinary wealthy households. It is very likely that because of their prodigality, their lives cannot keep up with that of an ordinary wealthy household, and they have become ordinary people in Chang'an City. They only drink when they are drunk. Only when the time comes can we talk to others about the glory of the past. As for the current difficult life, I am afraid they cannot change it.

General Molun is afraid that he will reach that level, so he always strictly demands himself. No matter what happens, he must quickly establish a foothold in the local area. Only in this way can he realize his ambition, although it will not Being able to climb higher but still maintain the current position is already much better than those kings who have fallen.

"It's a good thing that you have confidence. The brothers around you are also capable of doing things. You can boldly use them. If this place can settle down, maybe you won't have any major changes in three to five years, including your family. Including my children and nephews, if they are old enough, I will arrange for them to go out for training. "

General Mo Lun was deeply moved by Li Xiang's words. In fact, at his current level, some things are no longer important. Even if he continues to rise, can he still be more prominent than he is now? Is it really possible to become a general or prime minister in Chang'an City?

This is probably impossible, because of Li Xiang's xenophobic policy, it is difficult for people except Han people to rise to that level. Even if you have the ability, you can only become a middle school student in Chang'an City. They are upper-level officials and do not have military power in their hands.

Therefore, the future of the children is the most important thing. Li Xiang has promised to help his children go out and have some experience. No matter what the result is, they have seen the world. If they are pushed up, the children will not be able to If he seizes the opportunity, it can only mean that he is a mediocre person. He will live a good life in Chang'an City in the future and will not go out and cause trouble and bring it home.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I think some of my children are talented. After arriving in Chang'an City, I realized that the competition there is extremely fierce. I will keep all the opportunities given by Your Highness in my heart." I don’t know how to repay His Highness in the future. I can only repay His Highness’ kindness by governing the Indo-China Peninsula into what His Highness imagined.”

General Mo Lun said respectfully, if someone else said that, Li Xiang might think that that guy was saying, "If you can manage it well, just govern it, okay?" Who do you think you are? Do you know what's going on around here?

But these words came from the mouth of General Mo Lun. Li Xiang couldn't say that he believed it 100%, but he believed it at least 80%. When General Mo Lun was in the Western Regions, he also had a way of managing civil affairs. Later, Because of the invasion of the Arab Empire, General Molun once again transferred civilians to the army.

If it hadn't been for the people from the Arab Empire coming over, General Molun might have set up camp in the Western Region. He might also be in the position of a civil affairs official now, and it would be impossible to continue to lead troops to fight.

This is related to Li Xiang's policy. Foreign generals can only command a certain number of troops. If the number of troops exceeds this number, they will either stay in their original posts or have to start dispatching them to you. Doing so may wipe out some foreign generals. There is no way to fully utilize their abilities, but for the safety of the entire Tang Dynasty, this actually plays a vital role.

It's still the same as what Li Xiang often said, people who are not from my race will have different minds. When you don't know the other person's situation, you'd better keep your mouth shut. This is good for everyone. It's good, otherwise I really don't know what the future of Datang will be like, especially when the army is in the hands of these foreign generals.

General Mo Lun is one of the different ones, but he is even more cautious and does not dare to live up to Li Xiang's trust in him. (End of chapter)
