Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Two days ago, only a relatively small number of people like Iron Hammer rushed to the side of the official road, but the day before, horses gathered like waves of rivers in the road from Chihai to Longyang Gorge. Both sides of the official road.

It's just that these herdsmen are very shrewd. They didn't approach Chihai City because they were afraid of being known by His Highness and ordered them to go back. They could not resist His Highness's order.

So they began to gather on both sides of the official road from more than 20 miles away from Chihai City. More and more herdsmen gathered here. At first, there were only a few hundred, and gradually thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands...

More and more herdsmen are like sprays merging into the river, continuously converging and converging on the nearly [-]-mile-long road.

Simple tents were set up on both sides of the road, and the horses grazed nearby. Next to them was a river.

They are waiting here just to send His Highness off.

The entire Anxi Protectorate Mansion has been busy for two days. Li Ke has a lot of things to bring back. First of all, the gold must be transported back to Chang'an. The 11 tons of gold that Li Ke got back after reasoning with others amounted to 9 tons of gold in total.

The gold is actually not much money, and it is about 17 guan in the Tang Dynasty. The current gold exchange is too bad. As a later generation, Li Ke naturally knows that gold is very scarce in nature, and gold is also an important industrial raw material. , although it is said that Datang does not use it at present.

But it’s always right to keep the gold. Li Ke is not going to exchange the gold, but silver is actually possible. From this winter to next year, it is estimated that the amount of silver in Li Ke’s hands will skyrocket. The main reason must be From Tubo.

Don’t think that Tubo is a slave society, but it is precisely because it is a slave society that almost all the wealth is concentrated in the hands of Songtsen Gampo, and Li Ke reasoned with him and wanted to return [-] catties of gold. There must be not much gold in hand, and the next step must be a large amount of silver to buy pig iron.

In addition, Li Ke felt that Songtsan Gampo would directly cross the Himalayas in large numbers next year, and begin to trade or plunder Tianzhu and other countries.

No matter what it is, there will still be a lot of gold and silver coming back, which is a good thing.

Because all the money will flow back into Li Ke's hands.

On the second day, when Li Ke put on one of his twenty sets of clothes under the service of Yang Anning and the others, the team outside was ready to set off.

When Li Ke went back, because he was not in a hurry, he naturally didn't know how to wear armor.

When Li Ke went out, Li Daozong and others had already put on their armor and waited for him outside.

"General Li, I will leave Xizhou to you." Li Ke said seriously.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Xizhou is His Highness' painstaking effort, and the general will work hard to ensure the smooth operation of Xizhou." Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

"Well, anyway, you just know what I'm telling you." What it is, of course, is to ask Li Daozong to ask his two daughters about anything. Li Yan and Li Xin have a very long-term vision now. , and they can often see Li Ke's many arrangements by analogy, which has a great effect on stabilizing Xizhou.

Although it is said that as long as Xizhou maintains the current situation, there will be no major problems, but if Li Yan is there, at least Xizhou can move forward.

And although Li Xin seemed a little stupid, Li Ke naturally wouldn't look at the problem on the surface. Many people saw that Li Xin was quick-talking, as if he couldn't hide things in his head, and said whatever came to his mind. It sounds stupid.

But everyone ignored one point, that is, what Li Xin said was the most important thing!This is very important, which means that she can only speak out if she can think of this question in her head, which means that she can also see these things clearly.

This is a talent, and speaking can be made up for by acquisition, but it is impossible to make up for talent.

After she grows up in a few years and gets rid of this habit of speaking, Li Xin will not be worse than Li Yan.

"Yes!" Li Daozong saluted silently. Li Ke said this in private and did not say it in front of everyone. It's been a real experience.

For the next two months, Li Yan was almost in charge of the affairs of the entire Xizhou, while His Highness was only making decisions. Li Yan was responsible for the specific assignment and arrangement of affairs. Li Daozong thought that he would not be able to do this himself.

"Let's go!" Li Ke got on his horse and didn't say anything nonsense. What should be arranged has already been arranged, and what should be said has been said yesterday, so we can just start today.

As Li Ke got on his horse, the team that had already been prepared naturally followed and walked out of the city. After leaving the city, the [-] troops left outside lined up neatly on both sides of the team.

When Li Ke and the others came out, Su Dingfang, who was at the front of the team, said loudly, "Stand at attention!!!"

With a sound of "Crack!", the sound of armor colliding was heard in a uniform manner.

"salute!!"

"Shua!" All the soldiers raised their right hands, saluting a military salute for future generations!That's right, this military salute is naturally improved from the militia training manual. Datang's army performs the cross-hand salute most of the time. In addition, other queue training and so on are all kept up.

Naturally, the military salute was changed directly. Anyway, Li Ke himself thought that the military salute of later generations was pretty good, and it was better than Datang’s cross-hand salute. Besides, it’s good that the army has a separate etiquette, and these soldiers are wearing bright bright lights. Armor, a neat military salute, super handsome, okay? !

In the future world, this military ceremony was invented by my Highness Li Ke, King Qin of Tang Dynasty!

Li Ke didn't say anything, he just rode on the horse and waved his hands to these soldiers.

They stationed here in order to defend their home and country. Although Li Ke compensated them with their military salary, it is certain that they were far away from their hometown. In ancient times, it was not like modern times. It was very difficult to go home.

The long line continued to advance, and Li Ke was a little moved until the soldiers behind couldn't see the phalanx.

The surrounding grassland has become withered and yellow. Although the temperature is not below zero, it is estimated that winter will soon enter in a dozen days. I don't know how much will change in Xizhou next time I come here?
