Chapter 873 A full stomach is the most important thing

Li Xiang has long known Li Shimin's thoughts. If he returns to Chang'an City now, Li Shimin will definitely have to worry about how to reward him. Now Li Xiang has no reward, so Li Shimin also feels a very headache. , then the only option is to let Li Xiang go to Nanzhao to get married.

When Li Xiang brings back another daughter-in-law, Li Shimin will know what will happen, so he will put this reward on Li Xiang's new daughter-in-law, so that other unrewarding things will not happen.

At this moment, Li Xiang is standing on the city wall of Chengdu. After three months of repairs, the city wall of Chengdu has begun to take shape. According to Li Xiang's idea, he should work hard to train the army instead of spending huge sums of money to repair the city wall. .

But after a period of actual investigation, the city wall still needs to be built. Finally, there are too many rocks coming down from the mountain. If there is no city wall, I am afraid these people will come to Chengdu every now and then to rob. .

If in other places, these bandits are not so courageous, but they used to be the chieftain's army, and they dare to do anything. Now, although the chieftains on the mountain have surrendered, they are still unwilling to surrender to the big army. Tang, if you want to annihilate them, it will take three to five years at the fastest. Therefore, this city wall must be repaired. Otherwise, if you develop the economy here and rob it every day, who are you developing for?

"It is estimated that it will take more than ten days for the four chieftains to arrive in Chang'an City. Wei Chen has not been so excited for a long time. Since he became the prime minister, Wei Chen thought that he would spend the rest of his life studying writing at home. This life has passed, I never thought that something like this would happen again."

Xiao Yu looked at the disappearing convoy in the distance and was filled with emotion in his heart. If Li Xiang hadn't pulled it here, how could this unprecedented achievement be his turn? This is indeed a face given to him by Li Xiang. If he wants to promote his subordinates, doesn’t Li Xiang have anyone under his subordinates? Why let him be the governor of Yizhou?

"There are many things that you didn't expect. Now it's just a temporary victory. In the past, I often told them that military victory is not a victory. Even if you defeat the army here, if If you are unable to stay here for a long time, then the victory you have won will slip away at any time. If we want to stay here for a long time, it depends on you, sir."

Li Xiang said with a smile, the war has changed the local balance, and people will have all kinds of confusions in their hearts, and there will even be some rebels who want to erase all these people and solve the problem. The confusion in their hearts is that they must be fed. As long as the people are fed, fools will think about rebellion. Do you really think that cutting the neck with a knife will not hurt?

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Although I am the local magistrate here, all development plans are made by His Highness himself. I am nothing more than an executor. If there are no natural disasters, it will be three years at most. In a year's time, the food here will be self-sufficient, and as long as the common people have a mouthful of food, it will be their destiny."

Xiao Yu was speechless and said that the young men who came down from the mountain were not satisfied at first, but now they are provided with two meals a day, and there is dry food for each meal, so these people started working without saying a word. Even if the front is more dangerous, these people are willing to go up, at least they can have enough to eat here.

When the chieftain ruled them, more than half of their people had to go without food for one or two months a year. Even when the food was plentiful, they still needed to eat some wild fruits from the mountains. It was okay to eat those things once in a while. Yes, but if you eat too much, you won’t be hungry at all.

"The boss has seen all this clearly. In fact, our people are all honest people. As long as it can keep them full, no one will look for other things. This is true for the people at the bottom of the mountain, and the same is true for the people on the mountain. In this way, in the future, this kind of ethnic conflict must be resolved. No one can say what is wrong with the Han people, and no one can say what is wrong with the people in the mountains."

What Li Xiang is most worried about is the conflict. This is definitely not a trivial matter. There have been too many fights between the two clans in the past. There is no way to resolve the hatred. But they only need to prevent them within many years. If a conflict occurs, then these things will be covered up quickly after one generation or two. No matter how long it takes, no one will take the initiative to uncover this bloody history.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely treat this matter as an important matter and do what Your Highness has ordered."

Xiao Yu gave Li Xiang a very solemn gift.

When he came out of Chang'an City, Xiao Yu knew that Li Xiang was a capable person, but most of his abilities should be on the battlefield. When it came to managing people's livelihood, Xiao Yu really didn't believe it.

But seeing Li Xiang's ideas one after another, Xiao Yu really wanted to dig open Li Xiang's head and take a look. Even many eminent scholars in the court might not be able to come up with such ideas. Li Xiang's ideas are actually very simple. , but no one usually does it to sort out these things, which can maintain the stability of a region.

"You don't have to be polite, sir. I'll leave this Sichuan matter to you. I'm going south tomorrow. If anything happens here, just let Qin Huaiyu take care of it. But don't let him be in charge of civil affairs and public security. You can leave everything to him, and you should know how to use him."

Li Xiang is going to the south tomorrow. He has to leave Qin Huaiyu here before leaving. Xiao Yu is a scholar. It would be too difficult for him to take care of military matters, so The only thing we can do is to leave Qin Huaiyu here. This guy keeps saying that there is nothing wrong with Chang'an City, so let you work hard in Chengdu and make contributions to yourself.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, General Qin is very motivated now. No matter what happens, General Qin can move forward without hesitation."

It can also be heard from Xiao Yu's comments that he is very satisfied with Qin Huaiyu. They both belong to the imperial family, so mutual care should be indispensable.
