"How many people are in your tribe now, hundreds of thousands at most, how much territory do you have now? If I give you another place, will you be able to swallow it? Li Xin said with a smile: "Actually, what I mean is, don't restrict these territories, if your people are interested, you can come to Guannai, you are all my people, and you live in the same place, patriarch, what do you say?" ”

Brother Dahe Cave was stunned, and he couldn't help but nodded, what Li Xin said made sense, no matter what, everyone is loyal to Li Xin at this time, Li Xin is the lord of the world, and all the tribes of the Khitan are Li Xin's people.

"What the emperor said is extremely true." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since there are people from the Khitan, Murwei, Turkic and other tribes who envy the life in the Central Plains, the minister thinks that he can tell the people of the grassland tribe that if he wants to come to live in the Central Plains, he can give funding, or money, or land, etc., Your Majesty can let people set up governors in major tribes, and the herdsmen can come to the Central Plains to live together as long as they apply to the governor's office, and live a happy life like the Han people in the Central Plains. ”

"Your Majesty, there is fertile land in the south, and the grassland herdsmen can be relocated to cultivate, and the annual harvest is better than the cattle and sheep raised on the grassland." Wei Yuancheng also spoke.

Brother Dahe and the others were stunned, originally thinking of getting some territory from Li Xin's hands, but they didn't expect things to change now, Li Xin was going to divide up his subordinates. But the words in the other party's mouth are still for his own good, and Brother Ohga can't find a reason to object.

"Well, setting up a governor's mansion in the grassland is something that the imperial court has always wanted to do. Well, which of you wants to be the governor? Li Xin glanced at everyone, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "I am going to build the Northern Capital Protectorate, set up a governor, mainly by a Tang official, and a deputy governor, who will be the leader of the grassland tribe, and other long histories, joining the army, etc., can be served by the Tang Dynasty officials or the leader of the grassland tribe, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the grassland." Guo Xiaoke said loudly.

"Your Majesty, it's better for the grassland people to solve the affairs of the grassland. The ministers are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will never dare to do anything that endangers the Tang Dynasty, but the court does not know as much about the things on the grassland as the grassland people, and the affairs on the grassland can only be solved by the grassland people themselves. Brother Dahe naturally didn't want to have an extra tight spell on his head, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"The patriarch misunderstood, the so-called Anbei Protectorate is not to manage the grassland instead of the imperial court, but mainly to mediate the contradictions between the major tribes of the grassland and avoid the outbreak of war. Of course, if the internal affairs of the clan are offensive to the law of the country, the Metropolitan Protectorate can still intervene and inquire about it. The second task of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is to protect the caravan, exterminate the horse bandits and robbers on the grassland, and maintain the safety of the grassland; The third thing is to rescue the major tribes of the grassland, so that when the winter comes, the major tribes of the grassland will suffer countless casualties. These are the responsibilities of the imperial court. Li Xin said with a smile.

"This?" Brother Dahe and the others suddenly showed hesitation on their faces, if it was just like this, such a capital protectorate would be acceptable. At the very least, the grassland can be much more stable.

"I will also send a doctor to teach your children to read and write, write poems and paintings, and also participate in the imperial examination of my Tang Dynasty." Li Xin said with a smile: "Although you are the king and hegemon on the grassland, but you are living a precarious life, you can enter my Tang Dynasty as an official, brocade clothes and jade food are still okay, it is better than you living on the grassland and don't know the next meal, every year in winter, the snow covers the grassland, those old people will disappear on the snow field in order to protect the young and strong, but once you come to the Central Plains, it will be different." If you become an official of the Tang Dynasty, where will such a thing happen, do you think? ”

Li Xin's words were like a poppy, which made everyone present show a complicated look on their faces, there are naturally benefits, but there are also disadvantages, that is, the grassland will accept the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, and there is really one more emperor above their heads.

"Your Majesty, what do you need to come up with?" Brother Ohga thought for a while and said.

"The Tang Dynasty needs to conquer the world and seize more territory, I need cavalry on the grassland, once the holy decree arrives, how many cavalry will come out of the grassland, we must respect the holy decree." Li Xin said without thinking about it: "The cavalry on the grassland is the real elite soldier, even I am very envious." I can give you food in the year of your great calamity, I can reconcile your conflicts, and restore peace to the grasslands, but when I need your soldiers and horses, I must listen to my holy decree. ”

"This, the minister needs to go back and discuss it." Brother Dahe said quickly.

"Yes." As soon as Brother Dahe's voice fell, he saw an old man come out, Brother Dahe knew him, it was a tribe called Guligan, living in the northerner direction of the grassland, every year in winter, I don't know how many people will die on the grassland, it is understandable that he took refuge in Datang, but at this time, it is a little inappropriate.

"Good." Li Xin nodded: "The long history of this Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is none other than the patriarch. ”

"The minister is willing." As soon as Li Xin's voice fell, the leaders of the small tribes present spoke one after another, and whether or not he offended Brother Dahe was no longer a matter of consideration. Now the grassland is dominated by the Tang Dynasty, controlling the entire grassland, and in the future, elite soldiers will also be stationed on the grassland, in this case, it is better to return to the Tang Dynasty in advance to obtain more things.

"Good, good." Li Xin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Auxiliary, the arrangement of the leaders, your Wude Hall must also make corresponding rewards, and you can't let these leaders be wronged, you know?" ”

"Obey." The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Brother Dahe, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This guy came to Liaodong first, but he probably got the least. The eldest grandson, Wuji, couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness.

Brother Dahe looked at everything in front of him, his face was gloomy, on the way, Brother Dahe discussed it with everyone, everyone moved forward together, retreated together, but I didn't expect these guys to sell themselves in a blink of an eye.

"Come, come, drink." Li Xin doesn't care about Brother Dahe's feelings, the Khitan tribe will be the great enemy of the Central Plains in the future, what Li Xin needs now is to weaken the major tribes on the grassland as much as possible, if these tribes can be turned into one scattered tribe after another, it would be better.
