Ten days later, Wang Zheng arrived here with 50,000 soldiers, 50,000 students, and 50,000 craftsmen. After a stalemate of two hours, the remaining Tubo generals chose to surrender.

"Respectfully submitted by Lu Dongzan, the Grand Chancellor of Tubo: This is a letter from the Grand Steward himself.

First of all, I would like to thank the steward for the winter clothes and ice boat, and thank him for giving Lu Dongzan the opportunity to choose. I would like to thank him for his kindness to my son and the Tibetan people. The 100,000 troops and their supplies will be left to him as a reward.

Lu Dongzan admires the great steward's natural talent and benevolent heart, but it's a pity that Lu Dongzan and the steward belong to different camps. What can we do? Lu Dongzan will send an envoy to Tang in the near future to ask for three years of peace. After three years, he will hunt with the steward in Qinghai. I hope the steward will help us. "

Lu Dongzan used extremely humble words and hoped that Wang Zheng could give him three years to prepare. If Wang Zheng wanted to take it step by step and not use high-pressure tactics against Tubo, it would still take about two to three years to get Qinghai under control.

"Three years."

Wang Zheng stood on the top of a mountain called Dari, looking at the glacier in front of him, and smiled slightly, "What if I only give you three years?"

As Yuzhou became more and more prosperous, Wang Zheng had become famous five years ago. But over the years, everyone has become numb.

It is human instinct to pursue wealth, and no one does not want to live a good life. Every time something new comes out in Yuzhou, the people in the surrounding counties and cities will naturally learn from it, and their living conditions will definitely be better. It is indeed easy to achieve political achievements if you are an official in these places.

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, then asked, "I want to promote Wang Zheng's simplified characters. What do you think, Queen?"

The pedestrians and merchants on the official road saw the three small flags and began to avoid them from a distance. After the horses ran past, they all guessed what had happened? Why would they need to rush for 600 miles?

But it is a plateau after all. Even with the people Wang Zhengzhi could bring, only 70% of them stayed. Many people were sent back. I am afraid that it would be difficult for court officials to stay for more than a few years."

Chen Fengning smiled and said, "The chief steward has conquered the plateau and reached a place that the Tang army has never set foot on. With this experience, the plateau will no longer be an unreachable place. Lu Dongzan is just struggling to survive."

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "It's all because of your majesty's wisdom. Send the victory report to Chang'an."

Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to recruit the Yuzhou clan into the court?"

Li Jingye sighed, "It is true that those who are good at fighting are not famous for their achievements. If there is still a threat to our Tang Dynasty, it must be Tubo. I didn't expect that the chief steward could solve this problem so easily."

Needless to say, the Ba people are loyal to Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng has also promised that he will be replaced in two years at most, and the court officials will stay there for at least five years. These guys are very smart. What if they all say that they are not adapted to the plateau climate?

Wang Zheng nodded and instructed: "This place is covered in ice and snow for most of the year. Prepare to build an ice city. Also, hurry up and transport various materials. When the ice and snow melt in the summer, we will build a big city."

Confucian scholars all over the world sighed that the closer one is to Wang Zheng, the easier it is to be an official. There is no need to take care of political achievements by oneself. As long as you don't make too much effort, you will get them for no reason.

In recent years, all industries along the Yu Shui front have been unprecedentedly prosperous, making other places pale in comparison. Any minor incident requires a small subsidy from the court. This was a routine operation in the past, but now with the emergence of Wang Zheng, many things have become extremely glaring.

This was a great event for the Tang Dynasty, and the people were happy, but they were not very excited. Most of them had a matter-of-fact expression.

The soldiers on the horses sometimes did not answer, but sometimes they would answer a few words, "Lu Dongzan escaped, and the chief steward recaptured Qinghai Jimizhou."

However, outside of Shuzhong, due to geographical environment, climate and other factors, many of Yuzhou's methods were not suitable for the local climate and the people's lives naturally did not change much.

Li Zhi was very happy. After all, he had solved his biggest worry. Looking around the world, there was no rival anymore. Except for those places that were out of reach, all the people submitted to the Tang Dynasty. The title of the Supreme was well-deserved.

Then Li Zhi became thoughtful again and asked Wu Zetian beside him, "Does the Queen think it is necessary to send some court officials over?"

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said, "We should send some court officials over there, so that the plateau won't become like Yuzhou, which would be out of tune with the court.

It would be better if Wang Zheng would stay in Gaoyuan permanently. At least one would not have to worry about political achievements if he followed Wang Zheng. However, it is obvious that Wang Zheng would return to Chang'an soon. In this case, those court officials would naturally be unwilling to go to Gaoyuan.

There are also bold and daring people who will directly shout and ask: "What's the hurry?"

With such a great victory, the news was naturally sent to Chang'an at an express speed of 600 miles, which took only about ten days.

Li Jingye raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Such a great victory should indeed be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible. However, after the news returns to Chang'an, I am afraid that the civil and military officials in the court will not know how to deal with it."

When the news reached Chang'an, all the civil and military officials in the court remained silent for a moment.

Although Chang'an had its first snow after the beginning of winter, the snow had not yet reached the extent of blocking the roads. A horse was galloping at full speed on the official road, and the three small flags carried on the back of the soldier were fluttering in the wind.

Instead of dragging it out, it is better to merge as soon as possible. Simplified characters have already matured and are indeed convenient to use. In this case, why not use them earlier? Moreover, the talents of Yuzhou are indeed unique in being pragmatic. The court does need some pragmatic officials to govern, especially at the local level. More pragmatic officials can reduce many troubles. "

"Then where would you like to start, Your Majesty?"

"Imperial examination, Wang Zheng once proposed to separate officials from clerks in the imperial examination, officials are officials, clerks are clerks, officials are empty talk, clerks are practical, they cooperate with each other and check and balance each other, and their salaries are uniformly paid by the court.

Doing so would not only strengthen the imperial court's control over the local areas, but also combat the influence of the aristocratic families on the local areas.

Now Wang Zheng has 100,000 troops outside, with the power of a great victory, and I am in charge of the imperial guards inside. It is okay to make changes at this time, even if the action is a bit big. Even if the noble families rise up in rebellion, they will only be jumping clowns. "
