Yuchi Huan nodded and said to his father: "Today, a minister in the palace submitted a memorial to recommend the position of governor of Suzhou. The child felt that this matter was unusual."

Yuchi Gong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who has been recommended as the governor of Suzhou?"

Yuchi Huan replied, "It is Su Ya, the governor of Qizhou." After pausing, he added, "The daughter is the crown princess."

Yuchi Gong touched his beard and thoughtful, and then asked for a while: "Your Majesty is ready to report."

"No." Yuchi Huan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty only said it and discussed it."

Yuchi Gong felt that this matter was not simple. Xu Qilin had been temporarily appointed as the governor of Suzhou for more than half a year, but no one mentioned this in the court. But now, the prince and father-in-law suddenly appeared, and something seemed to be hidden.

"Tell Qi Lin together!" After thinking about it, it was difficult to judge. Yuchi Gong said, "Don't worry, remember the matters about Qi Lin, or Ganzhou or Suzhou in the court, and contact Qi Lin more."

Yuchi Huan nodded repeatedly and said, "Save it as good as a child."

Yuchi Gong was either staying at home or not thinking meticulously and lively enough, but he felt that someone recommended Suzhou Governor at this time, probably for other purposes, which may be unfavorable to Xu Qilin.

But another Cheng Yaojin, who was famous for his recklessness in history, saw the truth among them and was explaining to Cheng Chubi.

"Put out the 50,000 yuan investment from the money house as soon as possible. You can send a letter to Qi Lin and tell him what is happening in the court. He is a smart person, so he naturally understands who is targeting him."

Cheng Chubi blinked foolishly and said, "If you want to steal Qi Lin's position as the governor of Suzhou, your Majesty will not agree, right?"

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and sneered: "Qi Lin won't take it seriously in the governor of a border area. The key is that this matter is, I have to remind him."

Oh, Cheng Chubi felt that this was telling Xu Qilin which bastard was snatching his seat, but he didn't know the mystery behind it.

Cheng Yaojin secretly despised the East Palace, who had only such ability, had no decent confidant after counting it, and had to move his father-in-law out.

When His Majesty can't see it, either he wants to win over Xu Qilin or fall in love with Jiuquanyu's huge profits.

As the crown prince, you are not allowed to go to court because of your foot disease and make trouble in the East Palace, but you still have this happening. I really don’t know what this head is thinking.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin didn't know that Li Chengqian had already transferred Helan Chushi back to the Eastern Palace, and he wanted to win over Hou Junji; he also secretly raised more than 100 heroes including Hegan Chengji, Zhang Sizheng, etc., and he was very brave!

Hegan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng accepted the order of Li Chengqian to kill Prince Zhan Yu Zhining. The reason is very simple. Yu Zhining always advised him on the ground, and Li Chengqian was very upset.

What's wrong with ordering people to build a Qu Room during the busy farming season? Is it okay to make the house more luxurious? Yu Zhining wants to give advice.

What happened to appoint eunuchs and sing and having fun together? Gu was the prince, so he couldn't even enjoy the performance? Yu Zhining came to give advice again.

He led the Turks into the Eastern Palace and was intimate with each other, and did not allow the servants in the palace to rest. What happened? Yu Zhining still came to make noise.

After repeated repeated attempts, Li Chengqian became angry and finally wanted to attack the teacher.

But compared to Li Chengqian's viciousness, Hegan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng are still quite human. After sneaking into the Zhining Mansion's house, they saw him sleeping on a mat with his head resting on a soil, so they couldn't bear to kill him and quietly withdrew.

As for another left-wing son, Zhang Xuansu, he was sent by Li Chengqian to put a sack in the dark alley and beaten up, almost losing his life.

Just say that what Li Chengqian did is still a normal person? Xu Qilin had known for a long time that this guy was very perverted, so he hid far away.

Xu Qilin also knew that Li Chengqian was still the title of crown prince, but he had lost the qualification to be a heir to His Majesty Li Er.

How could Tian Khan, who claimed to be wise and powerful, have made up the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, hand over thousands of miles to people like Li Chengqian?

If it weren't for being disappointed, could His Majesty Li Er not be able to bring Li Chengqian with him like he did to Li Zhi, and teach him to turn back to the right?

Perhaps His Majesty Li Er is still waiting, with a little luck, hoping to see Li Chengqian wake up.

Perhaps it is also for the sake of the overall situation. He is still healthy and does not have to hurry up on things that are easy to save, so as not to cause shock to the situation.

In fact, not only Xu Qilin didn't like Li Chengqian, but also the officials in the court watched coldly. Only Du He, Zhao Jie, Li Anyan and other messy guys wanted to hug Li Chengqian's thighs and gain wealth in the future.

On the contrary, although there is no clear position, many ministers tend to be Li Sipang, who is very literary and capable of governing the country.

Of course, everyone is a veteran of politics and is a sloppy person. If His Majesty Li Er doesn’t express his opinion, he will just endure it.

…………………

In the palace, Qianqiu Palace.

His Majesty Li Er did not go to the concubine's palace to rest. After handling official duties, he chatted with Ma Da Secret casually.

As for the matter in the court today, it was originally very small. What a big deal to be the appointment of the governor of a state!

But this candidate for the governor of Suzhou made His Majesty Li Er unhappy. The prince's father-in-law Su Dan was not very talented, but he was only given the title of governor by his daughter.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er’s meaning is very obvious, that is, Xu Qilin also manages Suzhou, and together with Ganzhou, it will become a logistics base for taking root in the Western Regions and expanding land and developing.

The ministers should be aware of this and also expressed their recognition of Xu Qilin's governance of Ganzhou.

So, at this time, someone suddenly mentioned that the vacancies of the governor of Suzhou and recommended Su Dan, which had to attract everyone's attention.

Ma Dami was naturally keenly aware that this matter was unusual, but His Majesty Li Er didn't say it, and he didn't ask. Anyway, this discussion had been suppressed in the court, so there was no need to worry too much.

Of course, Su Dan seems not very famous, but his family background is extraordinary.

Great-grandfather Su Chuo was a famous minister of the Western Wei Dynasty and was famous at that time; great-grandfather Yu Wen Hu was a powerful minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and "destroyed the three emperors and killed the three emperors", which led to the rapid growth of the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the Guanlong group; grandfather and father were also ministers of the Sui Dynasty and were quite famous.

However, although Su Jian was diligent in his post as a member of Qizhou, his governance methods were still the same. Although it was not wrong, the effect was not significant.

What His Majesty Li Er wants now is a quick look, and he has tasted the sweetness.

The expedition to Gaochang did not cause several states to wither, and the Daming Palace could be built as scheduled, and the reconstruction of Luoyang palace was also included in the plan. It is just around the corner to get rid of the Guanlong Group.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er's intention to ask Xu Qilin to continue to operate Suzhou has not changed.

"From the report sent back by Hou Junji, it should be safe for the army to cross the Gobi desert, but it is just a matter of time." His Majesty Li Er said slowly: "After the war, I want to set up Xizhou in Gaochang, what do you think?"

Ma Dami knew that His Majesty Li Er wanted to incorporate Gaochang into the territory of the Tang Dynasty without adopting a strategy against the Eastern Turks. Although this may be opposed by ministers such as Wei Datengzi, in the long run, it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

Allowing the Western Turks to be large in the Western Regions is harmful but not beneficial; but if the troops stationed in the Western Regions, the small countries are unstable, and the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks is inevitable, and a considerable number of troops must be stationed.

The food and supplies used to conquer Gaochang were already huge, and it would be a significant financial burden to support the troops stationed in the Western Regions for a long time.

Ma Dami knew that when His Majesty Li mentioned Gaochang, he was very unhappy when he wanted to lead the memorials in Gansu and Suzhou.

Ma Dami pondered for a moment and bowed and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, I think that controlling the Western Regions and suppressing the Western Turks is a clever strategy. To achieve this goal, food, grass and materials are of great importance, so it will be put into Gansu and Suzhou."

Although it is thousands of miles away from the Gobi desert, it is several times more expensive than transportation in Guanzhong. Moreover, the original arduous and dangerous sea route seems to have become much more open.

His Majesty Li Er pointed his head and said, "In addition to the management of Gansu and Suzhou, I have the order to give Qi Lin. Let him see if Yizhou and Xizhou can make the garrison self-sufficient."

Ma Dami was a little surprised. It would be great if he could be self-sufficient. Not only did the court's finances not burden, but the military operations in the Western Regions would also be without scruples.

"If you can be self-sufficient and completely defeat the Western Turks, it is just around the corner." Ma Da said: "I hope Xu Cheng can achieve this goal."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Although Qi Lin carefully surveyed, I think he is still confident."

Ma Dami also smiled and said, "It seems that what Xu Cheng wants to do has not been unsuccessful. From the reform of the grain government to the operation of Ganzhou, all the achievements are amazing."

His Majesty Li Er nodded and suddenly asked, "Where is Du Zhenglun now?"

Ma Dami was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Isn't it because you can't discipline your son, and you have been demoted to the governor of Guzhou? Isn't this enough? You have to demote it again?

Thinking of this in his heart, Ma Dami replied truthfully: "Didn't Your Majesty release him and be the governor of Guzhou? He just set off for the capital a few days ago."

Oh! His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed for a moment, and he said in a deep thought: "Binwang, what do you think you will change it to Suzhou or Yizhou, Xizhou?"

Ma Dami didn't know what His Majesty Li Er meant that Guzhou was equivalent to the current Xin'an and Mianchi, which belonged to the Central Plains. Su, Yi and Xizhou were located in the border, which seemed to be equivalent to being demoted again.

But from His Majesty Li Er's emphasis on these states and Xu Qilin's management and management seems to be different.

His Majesty Li Er continued without waiting for Secretary Ma to express his opinion, "Well, send someone to pass the imperial edict to turn to Ganzhou. I will then have my own appointment edict."

Ma Dami bowed to accept the order, feeling that this seemed to be related to today's court discussion and to someone recommending Su Dan as the governor of Suzhou.

…………………

There was a turbulent undercurrent in the capital and the intrigue was intrigue, but Xu Qilin was out of the matter. It was hard to follow the army, so it was worry-free!

At this time, the forefront army had arrived at Xingxing Gorge, which took nine days and took a day to rest.

Xingxingxia and Xu Qilin changed a lot when they first came, and they paid money and goods. With such cost-effective investment, a small town has begun to take shape.

Investment promotion has begun, and there are always people who are adventurous and greedy for money.

By occupying Gaochang and opening up the Silk Road, and Xu Qilin sent people to continuously build and improve the "Dahai Road", this place will become a transit station for merchants to communicate, and there will be a certain prosperity.

The army formed camps and camped with thousands of tents, which made Xingxing Gorge appear as popular and lively as ever. At night, bonfires and loud people were noisy. The soldiers who had traveled thousands of miles in the wind and sand were finally able to indulge in a little while.

The entertainment of soldiers is also a sport full of courage. Although there is not much wine, it can make people excited.

Fang Er and Lu Da have become familiar with the military men. It is easy to establish friendship when eating in a spoon. At this time, they are wrestling and wrestling sumo with others.

Wang Fangyi smiled and pointed to the tumbling and jumping figure in the distance, and said to Xu Qilin: "Listen to Erlang, Xu Cheng is good at this, and he is not even an opponent."

A cheer sounded, and even Xu Qilin laughed and said, "It's better, but not as powerful as he said. This guy is very strong. If he fights head-on, he has no chance of winning."

As he said that, Xu Qilin walked slowly out, where it was quieter and easier to talk to Wang Fangyi.

In addition to helping Fang Er and fulfilling Lu Da, Xu Qilin also wanted to promote Wang Fangyi.

Not to mention military talent, even after following him for so long, he has quite experienced in the governance of Gansu and Su Prefectures. It is perfectly possible to transplant it to Yizhou and Gaochang.

Although it is a bit like a promotion beyond the level, Xu Qilin understands His Majesty Li Er's thoughts. As long as the court's finances can be freed from the burden as soon as possible, it is still very likely to be promoted to a governor.

Seeing that there were few people around, Xu Qilin slowed down and said slowly: "Your Majesty ordered me to inspect Yizhou and Gaochang to see if the food and supplies of the garrison can be solved on the spot. You focus on the inspection of Gaochang, and you reported to Your Majesty to win you a position of governor."

Wang Fangyi was a little excited, but still could not hold back, and asked, "Xu Cheng thinks Gaochang can?"

If it is a modern place name, Yizhou is Hami and Gaochang is Turpan. Both places have basins, but the land that can be cultivated and agricultural conditions are different.

Let’s talk about Hami first. Its area exceeds that of provinces such as Zhejiang and Fujian. However, the Gobi, desert, and mountains that are more difficult to develop and utilize, occupy more than 70% of the land, and there are very few areas suitable for living and production.

The conditions in the Turpan Basin are much better, with mountains, forests, rivers, oasis, and the conservative estimate of 300,000 to 400,000 mu of land that can be cultivated.

According to the crop yield in ancient times, there was no problem with supporting one person with four acres of land. In Turpan, it could accommodate at least 100,000 people.

Excluding Gaochang's population, the Tang army stationed for 40,000 people should be able to be self-sufficient.

Of course, this is just an algorithm on paper. At that time, there must be not so much land that had been developed and utilized in Turpan.

Xu Qilin just smiled at Wang Fangyi's question and said, "Then you have to take someone to investigate and obtain specific data. As for Lao Li, military camp is a way. Han people who fled from the Western Turks can also report to the court and place them on the spot."

After pausing, Xu Qilin continued: "As long as you can ensure that you can achieve self-sufficiency in food within two years, this governor will be in the seat of eight or ninety."

Wang Fangyi nodded and said, "The official understands."
