Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 168
Chapter 168
Ten days have passed since Qin Yang boasted to Haikou with the guide.

Tomb-sweeping Day has passed, and people who have returned from leave have started new jobs.

Qin Yang's people quickly took over the several counties of Qinghe, because they changed the team from the beginning to the end, it was not smooth at first, but today, ten days later, they are all on the right track.

Although the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family's headquarters are in Qinghe and Boling counties, they have already moved their real power to other places over the years. There was influence here before, but the power is still there.

Under Qin Yang's thunderous means, the two Cui families chose to go dormant temporarily.

Of course, Qin Yang didn't think that they would stop there, but right now, the two families have indeed settled down.

The fruit canning branch of the canning factory also started construction in Qinghe County.

The new area outside the military city even started to move a few days ago.

More than 1 grassland people have all become builders of the new district.

The food and clean water provided to them every day is tantamount to remuneration.

But they were all very satisfied!
After all, they have heard that the new district they are building will be their future home!

This is equivalent to the king of Youzhou feeding them with food and letting them build houses and roads for themselves to build their homes!
They are completely taking advantage of it, and others are at a great disadvantage!

Those women, children, and old people who came to Youzhou with their families and had never had contact with the King of Youzhou in the past finally believed what their family members said!
The king of Youzhou is really kind!
Although grassland tribes often disregard benevolence, justice and morality for the sake of interests.

But that was all a quarrel between the leaders, and had little to do with ordinary people!
Ordinary people on the prairie, looking forward to the life of the emperor, are nothing more than food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing!
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

The sun was already high in the sky. As the weather got warmer, some grassland men took off their shirts and were shirtless. A few of them came from a distance with a big tree on their shoulders.

In addition to helping with odd jobs, the women also pushed wheelbarrows and helped transport things.

Children and the elderly are also doing what they can.

When Qin Yang and Zhang Yunji came to the construction base of the new area in a carriage, they saw such a scene full of excitement.

Zhang Yunji lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, feeling quite complicated.

On the matter of building a new district, although he agreed with the king, he also had various concerns.

But it seems that this matter is much easier than he expected before?
Not to mention anything else, just say that the progress of the work of the [-] people he thought he was going to support for nothing is faster than that of the people serving in the army!
In previous years, he even gave a little money to serve in the army, but no one has ever been so active!

Qin Yang seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Doing it for others is the same thing as doing it for yourself?"

"The king said so."

Zhang Yunji continued to watch, and found that no matter how tired these workers were, they still had smiles on their faces.

Such a tired but satisfied smile can easily infect the onlookers.

Qin Yang continued from the side: "Actually, there may not be a need for a hard attack on the grassland side. There are other ways to stop the grassland forces from threatening Datang."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Zhang Yunji's eyes lit up.

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether he is a civil servant or a general, there are very few people who don't want to solve this matter!

It's just that when they think that solving this matter requires a war, and the outcome of a war is unpredictable, it will drag down Datang even more, and many talents retreat because of this.

In fact, if the goal can be achieved without a single soldier, probably no one can refuse!

But no matter what Zhang Yunji thought, he couldn't think of any way to make the various forces in the grassland no longer a headache for Datang.

Qin Yang said with a smile: "I asked these grassland people to pretend to be businessmen and go back to the grassland. You know about this, right?"

Zhang Yunji nodded.

Of course he knew about this, and he also knew that the king had transported some goods in a carriage, and those goods were luxury goods that the caravan was going to exchange.

Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, Qin Yang couldn't help shaking his head.

Hey, people in this era are actually not stupid, they just haven't experienced all kinds of information explosion, so there are some people who can't react for a while.

It is estimated that if Zhang Yunji is given a little time, the other party will be able to figure it out.

Now he simply solved the problem directly, saying: "The problem lies in these goods."

"If you want to make the grassland people's teeth no longer sharp, and they can no longer unite internally, all they need is some luxury."

"The living habits of grassland people, once they get used to silk, silk, porcelain, cosmetics, and various fine foods, they will become internally corrupt, become more hierarchical, and become full of contradictions."

"Not to mention anything else, porcelain is easy to break. You say, if porcelain is sold, the high-level officials of those tribes will get used to using porcelain, and their wives and concubines will get used to wearing silk and satin. I'm used to all these, it's hard to go from extravagant to frugal, when the time comes, there will be excitement to watch, and this is just one of them."

"What, this is just one of them? What about the other?" Zhang Yunji listened intently, but when he heard that this was only one of them, he hurriedly asked.

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Secondly, it's on the wool."

"Wool was originally trash that no one wanted on the grasslands, but now I have people collect wool at the price of meat, and can also exchange wool for luxury goods."

"The popularity of wool will change the habits of grassland people. Once they taste the sweetness, they will find that they have a large amount of goods that can be exchanged for gold, silver, luxury goods, and food, and this goods are not what they originally wanted. They are used to using this There is no way to get what they want more easily, why do they have to use blood and the lives of their own people to get worse things?"

"And if you want to collect more wool, you need to raise more sheep. This also hinders the footsteps of the grassland people, preventing them from abandoning a place faster and more freely. They will migrate to places with more abundant aquatic plants , but on the grasslands, there are limited places with rich water and grass, and wool is valuable, which means that there will be more and more tribes with more sheep. In order to rob the rich water and grass, there will be more battles among them."

"Want the tribes to unite against us? Use benefits to break up this alliance!"

Qin Yang talked eloquently, the more Zhang Yunji listened, the more he felt that these two methods are very good!

In fact, Qin Yang can also use similar tactics against other small countries that are not grassland tribes. At that time, he can adapt to local conditions, so that those countries can happily weaken their own strength and feel that they are taking advantage.

Right now, various forces in the grassland are threatening the north of Youzhou. If these forces are not messed up, Qin Yang will not be able to sleep peacefully.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the bustling scene in front of him, and continued to smile and said, "This new area is completed, and I will send more caravans into the grassland."
