Chapter 245 Khan Shantian said
, "My dear!" A voice woke up the dazed Li Chengqian.
He just dreamed that after he ascended the throne, he led the Tang Dynasty to glory, the national strength reached an unprecedented prosperity, and under his rule, the whole world was swept.
Just when he was about to become the master of the world, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, all his beautiful dreams were shattered.
Li Chengqian shook his dizzy head, slowly woke up, and sat up straight.
Li Chengqian looked at Wang Quan standing in front of him and said, "Wang Quan is back! What's the matter with the investigation!"
As soon as he entered the city, he found that people seemed to be more active than before, and indeed they were filled with inexplicable joy.
"My dear! I have already found out! This matter is related to the leaders of the nine Tiele clans summoned by His Majesty." Wang Quan said.
He had just learned about it, so he immediately rushed back to report to the prince without delay.
Is it related to the leaders of the nine Tiele clans? Li Chengqian was puzzled.
This time, the leaders of the nine Tiele clans, including the Uighurs and Tongluo, personally ran to the capital Chang'an to meet His Majesty Li II to thank His Majesty Li II for his gift.
Let these small companies and small enterprises in remote places be listed in the world-class Li Tang Group and become subsidiaries of the Li Tang Group.
From now on, these small enterprises will be able to enjoy the benefits brought to them by the world-class enterprises.
According to the trajectory of history, this group of guys seemed to have taken the opportunity to ask Li Er to open a road south of the Uighurs and north of the Turks.
It was called the "Shantian Khan Road" and had 68 post stations, each with horses, wine and meat for the envoys to eat.
Li Er was naturally very happy. There was no reason not to allow such a proud thing. This was something that showed Li Er's great achievements.
So Li Er didn't even have to think about it and directly approved their request, so the Northern Wilderness was pacified.
Apart from this matter, there was nothing else that was worthy of the entire Tang Dynasty's soldiers and people cheering and rejoicing.
Not to mention the entire capital, as long as this news was spread, the entire Tang Dynasty would be filled with joy.
"What does this have to do with the Nine Clans of Tiele?" Li Chengqian asked. Although he already had the answer in his mind, he still needed to confirm it.
"My dear! I heard that after hearing your majesty's reward to them, the leaders of the Tiele tribes were all overjoyed and thanked the court. They cried like children at that time." Wang Quan paused and felt funny.
At the same time, a sense of pride arose spontaneously, and he was proud of being a member of the Tang Empire.
"I said, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. Get to the point. Pick out the important things and don't say useless things." Li Chengqian saw Wang Quan grinning and slapped the table.
Wang Quan apologized repeatedly and then said, "They even said that they are willing to be your majesty's slaves for generations, and they will not leave any regrets until they die."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian sighed in his heart that these people really dared to say anything, which also indirectly explained the power of Li Er.
Strong enough to subdue these people, as long as Li Er is alive, these people will not rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and may even become the minions of the Tang Dynasty.
As for after Li Er's death, it depends on the ability of the new emperor Li Chengqian.
Of course, whether these people really said so, in Li Chengqian's view, it is not important, as long as they are strong, these tribes will be honestly driven by the Tang Dynasty.
But once they are weak, these tribes will retaliate against the Tang Dynasty.
The system of restraint is like the two sides of a sharp blade, which can not only hurt others, but also hurt oneself.
"What else?" Li Chengqian said lightly.
"The leaders of each tribe also knelt down and asked Your Majesty to open a road called the Cantian Khan Road."
"This proposal was made by Tumidu, the leader of the Uighur tribe, and other tribes also responded one after another." Wang Quan said.
The Tang Dynasty created the system of Dao and Fu in the history of ancient administrative regions. These Dao had no actual power. Dao was actually a supervision area, and the chief of Dao was the Supervisor.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the court would send people to the local areas to supervise the prefectures and counties from time to time. The names were temporarily determined and there was no fixed rule. These people sent to the local areas to supervise were the Supervisors.
"My dear! Here is a memorial, which was given to me by Wang Yuan, the eunuch, saying that His Majesty has already reviewed it. His Majesty ordered me to show this memorial to you. Wang Yuan, the eunuch, happened to meet me, so he asked me to bring this memorial to you." Wang Quan said.
Wang Quan took out a memorial from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian picked it up and opened it. It said.
"Since we are Tang people, we travel to the Supreme God like visiting our parents. We request to open a road south of the Uighurs and north of the Turks, called the Cantian Khan Road, with 68 post stations, each with horses and wine and meat to provide for the envoys, and pay mink fur as rent every year. We also request capable writers to write a memorial."
"What memorial do I want? It turns out to be a memorial from the Uighurs and other tribes requesting the opening of the Cantian Khan Road. I'm sure Your Majesty will be very happy!" Li Chengqian read it and threw it aside. He had known the result long ago.
For Li Chengqian, there was nothing to be happy about. Although these tribes submitted to Li Tang, they were not one family with the Tang people after all, and would rebel sooner or later.
If they are to stop rebelling, they must carry out national integration. Whether it is the Uighurs or other tribes, only by making them completely become part of the Tang Dynasty can we ensure that they will not rebel.
It is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do it, even harder than climbing to the sky.
Forget it, these problems are not what he should consider now.
"Your Majesty is naturally very happy. Not only did he issue an edict to celebrate the whole country, but he also lavished rewards on these tribes." Wang Quan said.
"I said! Why do I always feel a little different when I return to Chang'an? So that's it! What rewards did Your Majesty give to these tribal leaders?" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty has ordered a banquet to be held in Lanfang Palace to entertain these tribal leaders, and has also ordered the government to treat these tribal leaders well, with a banquet every five days."
"In addition, Your Majesty has also given each of these tribal leaders countless gold, silver, silk and other items." Wang Quan said.
It is no wonder that these natives from Mobei are dancing with joy and cheering with joy.
They may not have seen so many exquisite silks, satins, gold, silver, silk and other items in their lives. Only a fool would not do such a thing if they could exchange so many treasures for them just by lowering their heads!
At this time, in the eyes of these tribal leaders, Li Er fully embodied what it means to be a fool with a lot of money.
"My dear! The pastries are ready from the Food Bureau! Can you have them deliver them?" The Neifang Cheng came to Li Chengqian and whispered.
"I am indeed hungry! Serve the food! And have the people from the Food Bureau deliver some to the Crown Princess, Xiao Liangdi, Li Xiang and Li Jue." Li Chengqian said.
"I will do it right away!" The Neifang Cheng replied and retreated.
