"Tubo Army, morning …"
After eating some food, the Non-commissioned Officer began to report the situation.
"If that's the case, what we lack the most is logistics and horses. The Hexi Jiedushi captured many horses and can be sent to Jiuqu."
After Li Yi heard this, he put himself in their shoes and thought about it. They needed food and mobile troops.
"Yes, Li Dongzhu actually knows?" The Non-commissioned Officer was very excited. He was most afraid of meeting an outsider.
Bi Goo wanted to show that he was also an expert and said, "The area is large and there are many grasslands. It is more convenient with horses."
Li Yi turned his head and looked at Bi Gou in surprise. He hurriedly said to the soldier whose eyes were wide open, "Prime Minister Bi Gou is joking. Prime Minister Bi Gou knows that there are many hills in the area, but as a whole, there aren't many ups and downs.
There are many lakes and rivers, and most of them flow into the main stream of the Yellow River. There are many branches of the Yellow River that flow to the northwest.
Now, the water and grass are abundant, mainly because the summer temperature is high and there is no shortage of water.
There are many cavalry, and they can always find a suitable slope to charge. At the same time, they can help carry supplies. "
"Yes!" Bi Goo's face was not red. He stroked his beard and replied.
"That's right, Bi Zaifu is indeed amazing." The Non-commissioned Officer praised Bi Goo and at the same time admired Li Yi.
As expected, Li Dongzhu knew everything. As for Bi Zaifu, he probably did not care about the small matters of the border because of the imperial court's matters.
"Eat a few mouthfuls of watermelon and rest. After you rest, eat again. There is no need to worry about the situation over there. The new supplies have been transferred from Henan Province. Some of them are on the way and can be connected to the logistics of the Shu Lands."
Li Yi explained the situation to the ten people to prevent them from worrying.
"Thank you, Li Dongzhu." The Non-commissioned Officer cupped his fist.
"It is us who are under your protection who should thank you. Without you, we would not have peace." Li Yi bowed.
Ten soldiers were excitedly taken away to eat watermelon, replenish water and sugar, increase metabolism, and dilute stomach acid.
Everyone sat down again. Bi Goo complained to Li Yi, "Didn't you say that there was a lot of grass in the area?"
"Yes, yes. There was also a lot of grass on the mountain. There were also precious herbs such as fritillary, caterpillar fungus, roseroot, snow lotus, and so on.
There were also many birds and animals such as leopards, deer, bears, wild sheep, wild donkeys, and pheasants.
Didn't you see the map I drew? The big and small lakes are connected to each other. Oh, the locals call it wrong. Taihu Lake, they call it Tai Tai wrong. "
Li Yi explained the situation. He was not going to take the blame.
"Then, the local life must be very good." Bi Gou thought of a lot of meat, medicinal herbs on the mountain, farming by the lake, and sheep grazing.
"It's cold, and people's skin is not good. Sometimes the wind is very strong. Their handicraft skills are not good, and their smelting skills are even worse. That's why they want to snatch people from our Tang dynasty."
Li Yi shook his head. The local life was not good. In fact, it was a problem of the ruling class.
They knew that the Tang dynasty's skills were good, but they always wanted to snatch it. They simply could not settle down to study.
How brave! The old people had no status, and they were still slaves.
When he was in the same place, the economy was still developed. The people who ruled were different, so the standard of living could be improved.
"If you go there, can you live well in the local area?" Bi Goo also thought of the problem of people.
"Go there alone? Then I have to find a tribe and get the right to rule. Otherwise, I can't do it alone. "Li Yi thought for a while and shook his head.
He could go there now, but not when he just came to the Tang dynasty. He had to go to the territory of the Tang dynasty and then enter Chang 'an.
Or he could temporarily become a small official in the provincial governor's place to earn some life. He felt that he could manage a village with hundreds of people or a county with thousands of people.
In a year, even if he could not become rich, his income could at least double.
"I'm talking about taking over the place. You can take care of it …"
"Uh-huh!" Li Longji coughed.
"You can command from afar. Ask someone else to take care of it." Bi Goo quickly changed his words. Yes, Xiao Yi cannot go.
"Old Bi, this is a good idea. If I command other places, the local officials will not be satisfied. But I have a way to take over a new place."
Li Yi was careful. The source of the Yellow River was a large area, and there were not many people in his time.
Ordinary people could go there for a holiday, but they could not withstand the climate.
There was indeed economic development, but it depended on who it was compared to. The local tourism industry was a pillar industry.
Most of the industries served the surrounding areas, and it was under the premise that there were national roads and provincial roads.
It was easy to take over a place, but difficult to defend it.
Who would be willing to stay there? If there was no grass elsewhere, they could go there to graze the sheep. After they finished grazing, there would be grass in their own place, and they would drive the sheep back.
If they wanted more people to stay there, the local area must have a corresponding attraction.
Even if they followed orders and were stationed there, they were the main labor force.
If they had family members, it would be troublesome to set up a few provincial governors.
The people who went there were responsible for guarding the border, and they would face danger at all times. Tubo would frequently attack and harass them.
They were all people of the Tang dynasty. Why did the people there have to suffer more than others?
Li Yi thought, lowered his head to eat, and pondered about how to arrange it.
Once the place was taken, it would be impossible for Tubo to take it back.
Li Tan also ate silently. He found that he was very useless and could not help.
In the things he learned before, there was nothing about the Nine Bends Land, and he did not come into contact with the specific people's livelihood and military.
He had to learn well from Li Yi. Maybe in the future, he could be like his uncle and organize a few teams to help.
The little guy was happy all day and never thought about adult things. His worry was that he could not continue to play when it was time to eat, and he had to lie down when it was time to sleep.
After dinner, Bi Goo said goodbye and left.
Li Yi went back to the study to write and draw. Now he had to think about the local affairs.
Li Longji did not disturb him, and chatted with his family.
"The place has not been taken yet, and Xiao Yi has to be busy. It's not easy." Noble Consort Lu looked distressed.
"If other people could come up with some ideas, they would not let Xiao Yi work alone." Li Dan was dissatisfied with the ministers.
In his opinion, there were so many of them. Even if they did not ask to be like Li Yi, they could not ask to have ten percent of Li Yi's ability.
Empress Wang said, "Other than not collecting rent and asking the local people to build roads, they would not give any other ideas."
"Yes." Princess Yongmu stood on Li Yi's side. "Li Lang will directly tell the local people what to do, and the local people just need to follow."
"San Lang, ask the ministers tomorrow morning." Noble Consort Lu was dissatisfied.
All the ministers asked how to manage the source of the Yellow River, and there was no one?
Li Longji nodded and did not say anything.
During dinner, Li Yi brought a stack of papers over and placed it on the table. "Third brother, let's do this for now. The soldiers can familiarize themselves with the terrain."
"Good!" Li Longji nodded. Look, there was an idea.
The next morning, Li Longji went to work at dawn.
The ministers in the court were discussing the matters of Jiuqu and the West. They were going to set up new Jiedushi in the areas that had been taken.
They were going to send people there, where to get them, and what they needed.
After much discussion, they decided to push Guo Zhiyun and Zhang Zhongliang forward, and then arrange for new Jiedushi.
"The local area is worse than Longyou and Hexi. Do any of you have any good ideas?"
Li Longji asked when everyone was almost done talking. He wanted to see if there were any capable people.
