Rehearsal...

For Li Shimin, it was obviously in line with his wishes.

He knew very well that he could control the Tang Dynasty. As long as he was still alive, no one could take away any authority from his hands.

This is by no means a kind of blind confidence, but in the process of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was invincible in the battle. Moreover, with his superb skills, he won over a large number of capable people and strangers in the world. These people have long built this country like an iron bucket for their own use.

Of course, the most important thing is the people's hearts. Over the years, Li Shimin has been the will of the people. For Li Shimin, he was not worried about himself, but what he was worried about was that if one day he could not escape birth, old age, sickness and death, what would be the situation in the Tang Dynasty?

After working hard for so many years, what would such a foundation look like? Will those illegal people hidden in Chang'an be ill-intentioned? Will the ministers around me feel shaken?

It’s just a pity that before Li Shimin’s death, he could not find the answer at all.

But this time... Li Shimin may have found the answer. For Li Shimin, it is not a bad thing to pay a little price to find an answer.

Shuofang is very large, but... it is still a huge construction site. After all, what is being built now is a huge city. It is just... a group of migrant refugees have begun to produce here. They divert water for irrigation, and then reclaimed pastures.

Now that the Turks are defeated, Shuofang has issued an order to let the herdsmen go and capture the fleeing Turks. Anyone who is held can be taken by the herdsmen to deal with it.

All of the ranches were crazy.

You should know that the most lack of manpower in the pastures here is human resources, especially experienced shepherds. If they can catch the Turks as slaves, it will be a good deal.

Those Turkic people, women and children, were not far away. After hearing the news, Shuofang people took the lead in attacking their camp!

Most of the Turks were old, weak, sick and disabled. The men went out to fight, especially on raids, and they didn't care about them at all. But now, they were surrounded by the militias of Shuofang and forced to migrate to Shuofang and then broke them apart!

There is enough food in Shuofang, so if there is a shortage of people, please come and collect it.

It’s just that the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are too much, and the value is actually not great. Just by catching them, they can attract their men.

The remaining soldiers have reached the end of their lives. After fleeing around, they are tired and thirsty in this vast grassland, and they have no way to form groups, because the more people, in this place without people for hundreds of miles, the more they have to eat. It is better to act on their own and find a way out.

The herdsmen were in groups of three or five, carrying enough dry food, and had already begun to pursue them everywhere. They found the deserter, tied them up with ropes, and took them back to the ranch.

These Turks thought they would die, but obviously, the Han herders did not mean to kill them. Instead, they locked them in the sheep pen first, but did not give them much food and drink, but only gave them some food and water to maintain their lives, so that they would always be hungry.

Even if such people are not bound, they can't go far. When people are hungry, at first, people are driven to do some tricks to raise animals. They can't run away and want to beg for life. Under the desire to survive, they have to obey their destiny and slowly let go of their dignity.

After some days, they have gradually understood some simple Chinese words and phrases, and their food has also begun to increase a lot. In this way, their strength has gradually begun to recover. Most of them are isolated and helpless in the pastures, because they have no chance to touch other Turks!

Not only that, when their bodies recovered, some people began to shave all their hair and even their braids. Some even stitched marks on their faces, which was a symbol of slaves in various ranchs!

Anyone who escaped, the Han herders have the obligation to assist in tracing and arresting them. In fact, people with such obvious marks cannot run far. Once they leave Shuofang, there will be no people within at least 500 miles, and there will be no food. If they do so, there will be dangers lurking everywhere in the grassland.

The initial hunger and the submission they showed in order to survive, in fact, have made them let go of their pretentious dignity deep in their hearts.

Nowadays, as food continues to increase, they gradually have a little more hope. There is nothing more important in this world than living! Most of the people around are Han people, and they can only obediently obey the arrangements of the pasture, raise cattle and horses, or do some work in the pasture.

Even... there were some Turkic slaves who heard that their wives and children were eight or nine out of ten, and they were in Shuofang City, and their last thought of escaping was extinguished.

They want to live and want to see their wives and children. The owner of the ranch will record their names and characteristics, and ask people to go to the city to inquire about their wives and children, and then bring some oral messages from their wives and children back to the ranch.

Of course, it is not so easy to meet.

It's just giving these slaves some hope.

Tell them that they will perform well and may take him to the city, and tell them that their wife and children are living a pretty good life now.

If they are obedient in the future, they may arrange their wives and children to the ranch after a few years.

Although this is a short check, it is enough to defeat any man's last bit of self-esteem.

So, in many pastures, the manpower began to become abundant.

The expansion plan for the ranch has also begun to be put on the agenda.

Guanzhong needs more cattle and horses and more meat. In the future, the wooden tracks will be repaired, and a steady stream of fur and meat will be sent to Guanzhong through a carriage, and then countless Guanzhong specialties will be exchanged for.

Nowadays, the manpower is becoming more and more abundant. In addition to still recruiting a large number of Han herders, the Turkic slaves are also easy to use.

However, Li Shimin walked a long circle in Shuofang and saw many rare things, such as the huge construction site, which was laid with many wooden tracks to facilitate the transportation of materials. The buildings rose from the ground and were spectacular.

There is no fine food here, but no matter where Li Shimin arrived, he would kill a few cows and sheep first. After eating too much, he felt bored!

But this is a natural horse farm, and riding here is a great pleasure, but there is too much dust in the construction area. After riding for a few laps, it was immediately covered in dust.

Countless refugees, especially the original internal corpses, were left here, but these people touched Li Shimin a lot.

They were slaves of the aristocratic clans in the pass, and they were bullied and would not continue their meals. Although the children of the aristocratic clans dressed in rich clothes, they would rather have the food rotten in the warehouse than give them some!

Any aristocratic family has strict family rules, and family rules are not actually targeting their own children and nephews. If their children and nephews violate the rules, they are probably just a smile. The strict rules of the ancient people and the so-called strict family management methods are essentially targeting the subordinates. In the master's family, they often violate the rules. When they fight, the daily rations are also fixed, and they only maintain a state of not starving to death. Only those confidant people can truly achieve three meals a day.

But when people come here, although they have to work hard here and have to work every day, they often have enough food rations, which can maintain the standards of half a pound of meat, two pounds of rice, and some small fruits and vegetables every day.

This is like being in heaven for the part.

Every month, some wages are always paid regardless of the weather. Although the wages are very small, they are only a few hundred yuan a month. Moreover, the prices in the grassland are often more expensive than those in the pass, but even so, for many parts, they are indescribable.

Wherever Li Shimin went, those former divisions heard about the emperor and Chen Zhengtai coming, and then cried in confusion, knelt all over the ground, praised them, or were choked and unable to say anything.

Looking at the people who were crying on the ground, Li Shimin pondered for a long time!

Then, he got out of the way, walked among the people, and said, "Get up, get up, don't be too polite."

He found a worker-like person and stepped forward and said, "Where are you from? Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, the people... the people..." Obviously, this person dared not answer.

Chen Zhengtai, who was standing beside him, lowered his voice and said, "Most of the people here are Guanzhong's troops."

Li Shimin then suddenly realized that they were fugitive slaves, so they naturally did not dare to report their own identities at will.

Li Shimin couldn't help but look pity and stepped forward and said, "The law in the grassland is in the grassland, and the laws in Guanzhong are in the law. How can we control the grassland?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be shocked!

In fact, Chen Zhengtai has always been troubled by the problem of the Tang Dynasty. The laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty are actually not applicable in the grasslands. It’s just... After all, the Chen family is a Tang minister, so how dare they not follow the "Wude Law"?

Therefore, a strange phenomenon appeared in the grassland, that is, although the Wudiluo is used on the surface, in fact... it is the Chen family's family law!

Now that Li Shimin has opened this, everything will be safe. If you look back, you can openly create a new law, which is completely aimed at the actual situation of the grassland.

At this time, Li Shimin lowered his head, and seemed to feel very emotional. He walked to the front of the horse, then turned over, looked at everyone, and then said: "When you leave the gate, you are free, you don't have to be restrained, and no one dares to come out of the gate to pursue you. This is my original words. It applies now, and it will not change in ten or a hundred years."

After hearing this, many people couldn't help but turn red again.

In fact, although everyone knows that if you leave the grassland, you will be considered as regaining your freedom. However... the identity of this clan from generation to generation has actually been stamped in their hearts!

For them, because they live a better life, they are more afraid of returning to their past. The better their life is now than before, the more uneasy they feel! Who can guarantee that no one will follow their identities in the future?

But now... the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally made a guarantee to them, and finally all their last psychological barriers were eliminated, so everyone thanked them one after another.

Under the gratitude of everyone, Li Shimin then rode a horse and returned to his journey.

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin settled down while walking, holding the teacup, and smiling at Chen Zhengtai who was returning, saying, "What, I think you are very uneasy?"

Chen Zhengtai frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the identities of these divisions are different after all, and some things can be done indescribable. Now Your Majesty has opened a golden mouth here. If it is passed back to Guanzhong, it will be a shock again."

"Let them go." Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai's annoyed face and smiled: "If they want to make trouble, what can they do to me? I used to value them too much..."

Li Shimin paused and said, "Actually, I opened this mouth, which was not a sudden surge of blood, but a result of careful consideration. Zhengtai, do you know that when they saw me, they were so excited that they expressed their gratitude to me, and they burst into gratitude and thanked me for their gratitude, what were I thinking?"

Chen Zhengtai was puzzled for a moment and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty for advice."

Li Shimin sneered: "Since the existence of the tribes, these tribes have been dependent on the aristocratic tribes. When hasn't this been the case for hundreds of years? The tribes are private slaves of the aristocratic tribes. The taxes of the court cannot be levied on them, and the court's corvee cannot be levied on them. These tribes have always only known their own heads, but not the world. The ones they serve are the Wei family, the Yang family, the Cui family, and not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. They only know that they have a family, but not the country, but have no country, and they have this all dynasties."

"But today, what I saw was that they finally escaped from their master's family. Finally, I knew that there was still a court in the world and I, and that's what if I ordered them to be free?"

Chen Zhengtai was stunned, and only then realized why Li Shimin was excited.

In fact, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the aristocratic races were still deeply rooted, and their source of power was the land and the division!

This has always been a stubborn disease for hundreds of years. Even Li Shimin was helpless about it. In order to protect the interests of the aristocratic races, he also made a special emphasis on ensuring the relationship between the aristocratic races and the tribes.

But in fact... when countless people became private slaves of several families with the surname Ji, the court could not call these resources at all.

This obviously has great harm to the long-term stability of the country. Li Shimin obviously regarded this as a major concern for a long time, but he was unable to change it easily. Now he took this opportunity to simply pardon.

As for those aristocratic races...

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but think in his heart...What are the aristocratic tribes in Guanzhong doing now? But I don't know which side they are on now.
