Gao Yue said that the "nan soldiers" who lived in Guang, Yong and the three places in Tang Dynasty (about the same as the current Guangdong, Guangxi, and Vietnam) ate rice and grain from the five roads in Lingbei. The road they took was the Lingtu left by the Qin Dynasty. However, the Lingtu was blocked and unbuilt, and the embankment collapsed. The ships were defeated. After calculating the cost, it would be better not to transport them. The pit transportation and labor service in Lingnan Tongnan and Jiangnan West Road. So, Du Mu and other Lingnan strategies were "self-help" (solve their own boundary problems): boil sea salt, open foreign ships, seize evil, or train some slaves as "soldier ants", and then plunder more "worker ants". In short, no matter how you do it, you don't ask what ownership you have, whether you are a feudal or a slave, as long as you get the money and offer the part to the court - this is the essence of Xingyuan weather and the Lingnan experience.

"In other words, no matter what kind of raccoon slave it is, the one who catches the hamster is the good raccoon slave." The emperor put his hands behind his back and gave a very insightful example of Gao Yue's words.

"What Your Majesty said is very much, black raccoon slave, white raccoon slave, flower raccoon slave, pink nose raccoon slave, just those who can catch hamsters."

At this point, the emperor nodded and said that I am willing to show my attention to Du You’s actions in Lingnan, but what if it really causes a change?

Gao Yue said that the strategy of dealing with it is not difficult, first polite and then military force, so that Du You can be more flexible, and pull up a barbarian chief to suppress another faction immediately. If the situation is really big and the Guangzhou garrison lacks food, it can be transported from the sea.

In this way, the emperor's heart was really stable, so he agreed with Gao Yue: to use Dangxiang slaves on a large scale, and take the lead in building large workshops and specialty sales systems for tight commodities in several core cities such as Guangzhou, Xingyuan, Shudu, and the capital to make more money for the court.

Whether it is Wei Gao, the governor of Xichuan, or Liu Changqing, the observer of Bakui, they were unable to sit steadily, and their eyes were red and stared at the more than 80,000 Pingxia Dangxiang Nu who had been subjugated by Tongwancheng. The former wanted to open a sugar-evil ceasing service in Suizhou, while the latter wanted to build a salt farm in Fengjie, Dachang and Yun'an, which was recently taken over by Kuifu, which urgently needed a large number of people. The Qiang households, which had no connection with the fields, were the most suitable!

The emperor also wanted a large number of Qiang households to work in his official village, so he also asked Gao Yue for a share of six or seven thousand people in advance.

Of course, what Gao Yue is most concerned about is the formulation of the "Helong Army Accounting Book". He said to the emperor very closely: All the things mentioned before are long-term strategies for the national economy. If you immediately raise troops to recover Helong, you may not be able to provide relief for the time being. However, the minister Yue has another strategy, which can obtain two or three million chunks of qian, so as to support the military supplies on the horse without having to add a penny to the people of the states and counties in the world.

"Oh?" The emperor was very interested.

So under the candlelight of the tabernacle, the king and his minister sat face to face behind the screen and discussed for a long time.

The emperor initially hesitated about this matter, but soon praised it.

After the winter solstice, before the New Year, more than 80,000 prisoners of Dangxiang from Pingxia, after being rationed, followed various caravans and under the supervision of the Tang cavalry, they began to embark on their own cities.

Dangxiang Fanluo, which was re-incorporated into the Tangjiacheng system, also arranged along the north and south of Baiyu Mountain, and added more Qiang Villages and fields, so as to operate the entire Baiyu Mountain as a rich base supporting the Hetao defense line.

Tongwancheng, this majestic white city was destroyed by the winners. Its palaces, buildings, and corner towers were all demolished. The wood obtained was carried by camels and mules and horses to the surrounding Changze, Wuyan, Yudole, and Yuhe Fort. It was used to build the government offices of the Tang family officials or to add stations for exchanges. The stone tablets erected by Helian Bobo were pulled down by ropes in a huge roar. What was erected was to praise the Emperor of the Tang family and the prime minister to fight against the rebellion of the Qiang. The "Baichengzi Pingqiang Stele" was the only ruins left. It lies silently by the still rushing Wuding River. The endless river water was sent away. Helian Bobo's praise of the Shuofang Mountains and rivers in the past, the rebellion of the Qing emperor Tuoba Chaohui, and the existence of the "Dangxiang" nation.

Tuoba Chaohui and Tuoba Sheng were stuffed into the chariot, like two wild beasts hunted by the emperor, under the supervision of countless descendants of the Shenwei Army, and with the emperor's chariot, they also went to the capital to triumphantly.

Du Huangshang stayed, and was expected to be in April and May of the following year to deal with the aftermath of Feng, Sheng, Ling, You, Xia, Yin, Sui and other prefectures. The most important one is to abolish the original banishing policy in these prefectures and completely appoint the governors and county magistrates of the Han people to govern.

Han Yu, who continued to be the leader of the examination this year, came here to Changze County as the county magistrate.

At the same time, Gao Yue requested: Wu Yuanheng, the magistrate of Huating County, Qinzhou, was admitted to several exams, and was very good at learning. He moved to Nanzheng County, where Xingyuan Prefecture was located, and then became the magistrate of the county (but the ranks of Nanzheng and Huating were very different. His former Wei Zhiyi has now entered Beijing as a bachelor of Hanlin Chengzhi).

For a time, most of the talents admitted to the new scientific research institute this year were sent to the northwest counties, which were in urgent need of talents in Sanchuan. The court simply called the current tribute court of the Ministry of Rites and the Emperor's System of the Emperor's Department of Rites "Western Selection", which means it was all selected for the governance of the western part of the world - the southernmost end of the world. Du You recruited the exiled migrants as military generals and subordinates, and was called "New South Selection". The Western Selection and the Southern Selection complement each other, which was a major innovation in the history of the Tang Dynasty's official system.

During the New Year, a grand ceremony for prisoners was held at the Taimiao in Chang'an City. Tuoba Chaohui and his son continued to wear their upper bodies naked in the heavy snow, kneeling under the steps, and the emperor stood on the steps wearing swords. After the father and son kowtowed to apologize to the emperor, the emperor expressed his condolences to pardon them.

"I am happy!" Walking on the long palace street full of snow, the emperor did not hide his emotions at all. He said to Gao Yue, Lu Zhi and Jia Dan who were by his side.

Therefore, the emperor officially blew the wind to several prime ministers at the small banquet held in the next Yu Linde Hall: "Now that the Pingqiang task has been completed, our Tang army is in great prosperity. Since the previous invasion of Shazhou, the power of Xifan has declined. Every time I think about the vision left by Duke Jin of Han, it is tragic and generous, and I am inexplicably moved. After autumn this year, I want to drive 100,000 heroic troops to restore Helong, pointing to the Qinghai Hequ, and connecting Anxi Beiting, how about it?"

"Your Majesty, although Pingqiang has been successful, the national treasury has been exhausted. Please save money and train soldiers and horses for three years, so that you can have no worries." Lu Zhi was cautious about this.

The emperor laughed and raised his hand to Lu Zhi, saying Lu Jiu, don't talk about it for a year or three years. Jia Dan will immediately give you a budget for "Helong Military Accounting Book". Read it carefully and see if our three departments can spend this year. If so, then that's what we said.
Chapter completed!
