Chapter 1533: Eliminate the Tyrants

The land area is fixed, but the population fluctuates. When the population fluctuates greatly, the grassland owned by each person will be different.

"You monitor the Western Region very well, that is, you must always pay attention to their personal property. If the individuals in various places become more powerful, it will be extremely detrimental to our rule of the local area. We must control them to the stage of small landowners and cannot be too If you are poor, you cannot be too rich. If you are too poor, it will be easy to stand up against us. If you are too rich, it will be easy to form separatist forces, which is not good for us. "

When Li Xiang said these words, Zhang Jiuli secretly memorized it. To be honest, Zhang Jiuli was quite confident in his own head. That is, it was only by Li Xiang's side that he would learn so humbly. If If it were another person, he would be able to think of the following words immediately before the words of others were spoken. This is the ability of smart people.

"Your Highness is right. There is a big difference between the Western Region and the inland areas. If a local power is formed, it can have hundreds of cavalry in an instant. Although our military stations are spread all over the Western Region, one or two of these can completely solve the problem, but If this is the case across the entire land, I’m afraid we won’t be able to solve it, and it will bring us additional military expenditures.”

Zhang Jiuli pointed to a piece of grassland in the distance and said, Li Xiang knew the difficulty here earlier, that is, there is no good management method. The land area is too large and the number of people is too small. If these small landowners are allowed to develop, it will be very difficult. It may develop into a separatist force. Even if you mobilize the army, it will be difficult to deal with them. After all, all their belongings can be loaded into the car. Then they will just drag you across the grassland. You can run. Pass them?

After passing the Gobi Desert, we finally arrived at the grassland part of Western Xinjiang, which can be said to be very beautiful.

The last time Li Xiang came here, he was busy fighting and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery here. Zhang Jiuli also disappeared from Li Xiang at the right time. He had already been talking about work for a day. If he continued to talk about work, If so, even if Li Xiang's head was a computer, I'm afraid it would be down by now.

Xiao Xun'er got off the carriage and followed Li Xiang on horseback on the grassland. None of the girls in Chang'an City had ever seen this kind of scenery. The vast grassland was filled with all kinds of wild flowers. The girls were all wearing exotic clothes. Just like the flowers and butterflies on the grassland, it is really beautiful.

"This trip from Chang'an City was not in vain, was it?"

Li Xiang said with a smile.

"I really hope that I can follow His Highness to see different scenery around the world in the future. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there is such a beautiful scenery."

Xiao Xun'er looked at the sunset in the distance greedily. This was the camp of the Tang Dynasty army. In the afternoon, they could run wildly, but when it got dark, they had to return to the camp quickly. In a place like this There is no such thing as safety, as long as the armed forces in your hands are strong.

Although the surrounding bandits have been cleared, the bandits here are still coming out one after another, like leeks after the rain, you can't cut them clean at all.

There is nothing that can be done about it. No matter who governs this place, there is no way to kill these bandits. When they cover their faces, they are bandits on the grassland. When they return to their tribe At that time, they were just ordinary people. How do you determine their identity?

Even if you can identify them, can you find evidence? When people are handling cases outside, they hide themselves tightly. Some people will even go hundreds of miles away to rob. You simply don’t have the ability to find their evidence. If you arrest people randomly, That would cause unrest across the prairie, and no local official would allow such a thing to happen.

During dinner in the evening, Zhang Jiuli told Li Xiang something. The bandits here knew the rules very well. As long as they encountered the championship flag, even if it was filled with gold and silver, these people would stay away. From afar, they all knew the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army. Of course, this was also related to Xiao Shougui's handling method.

A year ago, someone robbed a batch of goods from the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Shougui immediately sent Li Chengyi out. It took about two months to find this group of people. The last three More than 5,000 people from this tribe were all beheaded.

It is precisely because of this incident that everyone on the grassland understands that robbing each other is your own business. As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, the Tang Dynasty court will not care about it. But if you rob the Tang Dynasty court's things, no matter No matter where you run, the imperial army will pull you out. If you want to escape by then, it will be almost impossible and you will not be given the chance at all.

"You, Mr. Xiao, are still very courageous. If you put me in that position, I would have to think about how much work these five thousand people can do for me and just chop off their heads. Although it will cost us some, but For the tribes on the grassland, it can also make them vigilant. "

After Li Xiang finished speaking, several people around him laughed. Xiao Shougui did not consider financial interests when doing such a thing. People who have followed Li Xiang for a long time will always talk about costs, but there are If you care too much about cost, you may lose some other things.

So in this situation, occasionally killing thousands of people at once is also a very strong deterrent for these bandits on the grassland. They mainly want to make their families live a good life. Xiao Shougui caught their idea and said, "I will kill your family members as well, so that you can experience the benefits of robbing the Tang Dynasty's items."

While several people were chatting, the sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding troops had begun patrolling.

According to the report of the subordinates, there were also several bandits staying around, and they also turned around several times, but unfortunately they didn't dare to come over at all. The big flag in the center was very obvious. This was the army of the Tang Dynasty court.

Although they knew that these bandits were not courageous, the entire army was still on high alert. Thousands of soldiers had to patrol continuously at night to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which was also their honor. (End of this chapter)
