In Liangzhou, Li Daliang, who tightened his crown, rode a horse to a pass, and not far away, a group of Qinghai soldiers who crossed the border saw Li Daliang's banner and hurriedly came over to salute.

However, when they saluted, the party merchants who were tightly tied next to them were still closely guarded.

"Go down to Sun Jiye, the commander of the Qinghai Tea Horse Village Brigade, and see the envoy."

"These party businessmen, what's going on?"

Li Daliang pointed at the party members who were pressed to the ground with a whip.

"I walked down to their cargo and found pepper saplings."

"Huh?"

Hearing the pepper sapling, Li Daliang raised his eyebrows: "The party dares to smuggle pepper seeds?" ”

"The mouth has been pried open, it is the Turks who want to ask for it, and then plant it in the newly acquired land of Persia."

"Leave two alive, and kill the rest."

"Don't you stay as a mining slave?"

"No need, these businessmen don't have much energy, and if they take them to the mines, most of them will bewitch the miners."

"Yes."

Sun Jiye listened, and raised his hand: "Except for those who open their mouths, behead them on the spot!" ”

"Yes!"

Before the Liangzhou soldiers who followed Li Daliang could react, they saw that the Qinghai soldiers had killed these party businessmen, leaving only two living mouths, all of whom were trembling there, whimpering and crying.

"Where's the peppercorns?"

"It has been reported to the peak, but the seedlings can be handed over to the envoy."

"The old man will leave a letter to explain the context of the matter, and you don't need to worry about the credit."

"Thank you!"

On Li Daliang's return journey, an official whispered: "Li Gong, how can these Qinghai soldiers still investigate smuggling?" ”

"That Sun Jiye is a person from the tea horse village, and all the tea horse villages around the Silk Road have the responsibility of inspecting smuggling. Originally, it was just to defend the Tibetan land, and the Dongnu Kingdom wanted to buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty several times, so as to annex the hometown of Tibet. Bolu Guo and Zhangxiong have already penetrated into the ancestral court of Tubo, and the soldiers are strong and strong, so it is no wonder that the northeastern provinces of Tibet have to find ways to grow. ”

Speaking of this, Li Daliang remembered that Bo Luguo's fortune was actually because of a Taoist priest who played with his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I don't know what this Li Chunfeng is doing, but now the profits of smuggling weapons in Tibet are quite high." ”

"After all, it won't be the goods of the Ordnance Supervisor, but it doesn't matter."

"Who knows."

Li Daliang sighed with emotion, "If you are shrewd and calculating, but if your Erlang's armor is broken and clean, and it is reported to the Ministry of War, can you still check it every day?" ”

"You can't really take the armor and blade of the Armory, can you? If it is a Bashu folk artifact, it can still make sense. ”

"As long as the money is sufficient, there is nothing that cannot be bought, but in this situation, the tea horse village is strictly investigated, and there is the responsibility of anti-smuggling, so it will not breed such incidents. But you have to know that this tea horse village is not a military establishment, and if there is no income, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not turn a blind eye. ”

patted the horse's neck, Li Daliang, who had been in Liangzhou for so many years, sighed with emotion, "People die and politics rest, and such things can't change for more than a hundred years." ”

However, Li Daliang also knew in his heart that his pressure in Liangzhou has become less and less in recent years, in fact, it is precisely because Datang's strength is getting stronger and stronger. When he first arrived in Liangzhou, there were too many people who needed to be settled. It's just the Fang, Qiang, Dangxiang, Fan, Tuyuhun, and Huns...... Miscellaneous, handsome, headmen and other leaders, not only have to deal with them one by one, but also deal with them properly.

If he is not careful, he will immediately "pull the flag and rebel", and when the matter is stabbed, it will always be him Li Daliang and how to mess around.

If it weren't for his uprightness and toughness, he would really let those miscellaneous pieces of the Liangzhou realm play a "distribution according to trouble" success.

At present, the ease of Liangzhou is based on the fact that the Xianbei people were completely dispersed, the elite of the Dangxiang and Qiang people were destroyed, and then there was the Qinghai Army in the front, and the government soldiers who occupied more than 20% of the country in the back, so that this rather complicated territory became extremely peaceful.

It can even be said that Liangzhou is a particularly important base in Longyou Road, of course, at the moment.

In recent years, the average yield per mu of newly opened fields is more than one stone, but the increase in farmers is not too high, and they can barely mix food and clothing.

The Liangzhou area is safe, which itself provides the safest guarantee for the Silk Road of Longyou Road.

But even so, Li Daliang's exploits are still brushed aside. Everyone knows this.

With the success of moving the capital, Li Daliang also knew that the days when he left Liangzhou should have been counted.

"Liangzhou is good."

Looking at Guzang, where Liangzhou Prefecture is located from afar, Li Daliang recalled the courage to face Wen Yanbo back then, and thought of the current situation in Liangzhou and Longyou, and couldn't help but be proud: "I am a husband!" ”

Li Daliang's pride is also confident, and outside Guzang County, a rather peculiar layout has been formed. If you are not afraid of damaging the city defense, only the forage field and the large car yard at the east gate and the south gate will be directly pasted to the root of the city wall. Even though Li Daliang was almost tidy, the noisy bazaar still formed naturally five miles away.

To this end, Liangzhou followed Luoyang's example and formed a "new city" here. Transactions in the towns were quite frequent, and often the caravan leaders on both sides were just packing, and a large number of "poly construction" boxes would be unloaded, and then immediately changed from horse to humback.

And to the west of the city, on both sides of the official road that stretches to the west, it has become a "two-way road", and it is stepped on a clearly visible road by the camel team, horse team, and mule team that has avoided military horses and official horses all the year round, and the parallel official road winds to the west.

At one end of this road, there is a short pavilion in the Liangzhou Governance Office. The short pavilion of that year is still there, but on its side, a rather huge "iron rod temple" was built, the incense was extremely vigorous, and the ever-bright lamp was burning, which was whale oil transported from the east. The unique smell made the Hu merchants extremely fascinated.

The largest oil trading market in Longyou is here.

This is also a "new city", and three years ago, the power of jurisdiction and governance has been transferred from Liangzhou to Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Rites, which are supervised by the three parties.

Later, the third division completely gave this bit of oil and water to the East Palace Field, but not to mention the people in Chunfang, even those who knew the prince had never seen one. On the contrary, there are a few eunuchs who died in yin and yang, and occasionally they are engaged in the porcelain business, saying that they have seen them in the Dongguan kiln in Chang'an......

But in any case, Liangzhou is the most prosperous and wealthy place in Longyou Road, and this cannot be changed. If this is used as a performance evaluation, with the experience of such state and county governance, Li Daliang does not dare to say that he is directly the prime minister, but if he gets a six-department official to do it, there is no pressure at all.

Jingle bells!

The camel bell rang, accompanied by a shout, and the camels, who were resting on their knees, propped up their huge bodies, and then followed one after the other, took a step, and slowly headed towards the west.

"Liangzhou is good!"

Every Hu person who left Liangzhou sighed with emotion.
