"There are those young soldiers again."

"The Ministry of Justice is about to talk about this, so why not bring them all into the palace soldiers."

"It's not appropriate. If you are in the mainland, it will have little impact on the inclusion of the government troops, but this is in a foreign land. The directly governed town of Shule, the closest town to the Tang Dynasty, is more than a thousand miles away. If you start from Bahuan City, it will take seven or eight hundred miles, and it will be blocked by mountains and rivers. Even if you step up to 800 miles, it will take three days to arrive."

"Therefore, the Governor's Office must always maintain a standing army that can intimidate the tribes. Aren't it a newly arrived 4,000 Huhan farmers? One thousand young men aged fifteen to eighteen are also selected to join the young soldiers."

"Dalang, since he wants to suppress all tribes, it is better to choose people over 18 years old."

"No, Brother Feng, you have also seen it. It is not easy for the Tang Dynasty to garrison here. A team of soldiers from north and south of Tianshan have already used all their strength. There are only one thousand people. The Hu tribes around must have more than 100,000 households, with thousands of households vs. 100,000 households. I am not Ban Chao or Chen Tang, so I can't handle it."

"Therefore, we will use some reputation built in Naren to temporarily put the Southern Bow and Geshu tribes. By the way, it is still a different part of Geshu tribes. The main part is still on both sides of the Talas River. It is easy to temporarily suppress the two parts. It is still possible for a short time. There will definitely be problems in the long run. Therefore, we must make full use of their manpower."

"The Nangong tribe comes from the Jun tribe, and its appearance is similar to ours, but its language is different. If we don't teach them to practice Chinese and abide by the Han regulations while they are young, they will waste their time on Talas? It is naturally good to join the country and connect with each other. However, the Tang Dynasty is not the only one in the Western Regions. There are still Tubo, and the big food is on the side."

"Slowly educate and enter China, why do we divide the Hu Han? In this way, they must be determined to look to China. With the Southern Bow tribe and the Geshu tribe, there will naturally be other tribes coming gradually. For example, the last time I paid homage to the Gelulu and Alishi tribes who came to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers under the snow mountain. They were not many, and they were shivering in most of the Turkic tribes. Since we have already set a banner in Talas, how can we let these tribes surrender to most of the Turkic tribes?"

"Young people are the future of each tribe. In time, these young people have achieved success and set an example for each tribe. Then more young people will come in a row. First, they will be young and strong. If my Tang Dynasty established a foothold in Talas, the young and strong will continue. If this governor spoke, I am confident that within three years, the tribe that sincerely surrendered to the governor's office will be expanded to 20,000 households. In addition to the Han government soldiers, it is no problem to stabilize the entire northern foot of the snow-capped mountains!"

"The entire northern foot of the snow-capped mountain? Could it be that Dalang also has ideas about Suiye City?"

"That's natural. At present, the court did not realize the importance of the entire northern foot of the snow-capped mountains, and secondly, it also gave an explanation to Mohe Dagan, and divided the entire northern foot of the river into two halves."

"But Mohedagan has only 20,000 households. To the northeast is Hu Luju, which entrenches the Yili River Basin, and to the east are the two brothers Shu tribes. They are not easy to meet each other. Therefore, they can only expand to Naren and Talas. Don't worry, with Mohedagan's mind, they will definitely not see half of the northern foot of the Snow Mountain being divided by the Tang Dynasty. The area under this governor will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the area under the jurisdiction of this governor."

"Then simply destroy Mohe Dagan and completely connect the territory of the Governor's Office with the Tang Dynasty?"

Sun Xiurong was shocked and thought to himself: "That's not what I want to see. Through the Chumukun tribe, people from the Tang Dynasty would not frequently visit the governor's office to inspect. If the Chumukun tribe is gone, wouldn't he be pinched by husband Meng Lingcha's hand? No, no, no."

But he said, "How easy? After the demise of the Western Turks, Tuqi Shi rose, especially the right wing, and there are only three left wings. Dumodu of Axijie must have the intention of unifying Geshu and basai Gan. Among the right wings, there are Hu Luju and Chumukun, and the other two were annexed by Tuqi Shi."

"Dumodou, Mohedagan is known as the Black General of the Tukhashi Khan Kingdom. Dong and Xiyehu, and they must have some tricks. They are not like us. When we draw troops from the herdsmen, they will definitely be mobilized in full. Once a major war occurs, they will definitely be mobilized. At least 15,000 elite cavalry will be there. If we contact other tribes on the right wing, it will be even more amazing. With the current situation of the Governor's Office, it will be good to occupy Talas and separate Axijie, Geshu. If we want to completely eliminate Mohedagan and stabilize the situation in the southern part of Rehai, at least one legion must be needed."

"What's more, once Mohe Dagan is eliminated, most of the other people will definitely be uneasy. People will think that even Mohe Dagan, who was enthroned as Tukki Shi Khan by the Tang Dynasty, would be eliminated, let alone others? Instead, they would give in to them. If there was a talented and stubborn figure among them, it would be impossible to rebuild the Western Turkic Khanate!"

Feng Changqing nodded, "That's true, but the standing army has reached 3,000 people. What is the regulation? Should we follow the example of the capital guards?"

Sun Xiurong shook his head, "Of course not. The capital guards are actually still in the palace soldiers, but they are just elite soldiers drawn. The rotation time is longer. In Talas, I decided to let these young soldiers become professional soldiers..."

"Professional soldier?"

"Ahem, it is to recruit soldiers. In the Tang Dynasty soldiers sequence, only officers above the ranks of 150 people have positions, and up to 100 out of 10,000 people have fixed salary. For these young soldiers, as long as they see that the income from joining the army is much greater than that of grazing, they will naturally be willing to stay in the military camp."

"Take the team leader as an example. The annual salary is: 15 jin of money, 50 jin of materials, 200 mu of land, and 5 jin of servants a year. It's not a problem to support a family. Those below the team leader are all self-raised food and money. If the military soldiers still use the regulations of the soldiers to dispose of them, it will not be enough."

"The Western Regions have limited employment and land, but the money should not be less, otherwise why should they join the army here? Not only that, the money we give should be higher than what they earn from feeding cattle and horses. Let's not talk about cattle and sheep, just talk about this material."

"At present, Han farmers are just right to cultivate fifty acres of land for each family. It will be a bit difficult to support themselves if there are too fewer people, and they can only support themselves and cannot contribute to the country. Each household often has strong men and three strong women. On average, each person can cultivate fifteen acres of land. If the wheat here is well-plated, one stone can still be produced per mu."

"Fifteen stones, 30% of the place paid for as a land tax, and there are still ten stones left. If you throw away the seeds, husks, and eight stones, each person can eat at most four stones a year, so there will be four stones left. The food here is a little expensive, and it is about one stone. He can leave two stones for emergency response and sell two stones. This is two stones of money."

"According to the prices in the Western Regions, you can buy cotton and linen each, plus a horizontal knife, and there will be no more money left. However, if all eight stones are sold, you can buy a complete set of military equipment and calculate the horses."

"Therefore, the salary we give to ordinary soldiers cannot be less than eight stones. Their clothes, horses, and food are all supported by the government. They can also pay eight stones of grain or eight jin of coins every year, so that they can have a chance."

"In this way, those who do not have grades can still get married every year. After they are over 25 years old, their families can also be transferred to the military camp and take care of them nearby."

"I have calculated that there are 200,000 mu of land near Talas. I have taken out 50,000 mu of public land, that is, the vocational land of officials at all levels. 150,000 mu are tax-paying land, and 30% are more than 40,000 stones. The 3,000 standing troops each year need to consume more than 10,000 stones each year, and the distribution of materials is just right."

"When I conquered Talas, I seized about 20,000 jin of Erweitler, and I bought another 10,000 jin a year as a reserve."

"Dalang, if the money is used up..."

"That's what I'm going to tell you next. 500,000 mu of fertile land can be reclaimed near Talas, but there are only 200,000 mu. It's not that there is not enough land, but that there is not enough manpower. Eight thousand herders have abandoned the three thousand soldiers mentioned just now, and there are still five thousand left. Among them, they can be placed in a range of up to 3,000 households who participate in the war. They are now placed in a radius of 200 miles near Talas City."

"No one is a natural farmer. The Hu people here, that is, the Sogdians, are descendants of the Great Yuezhi. They were also nomadic people in the past, but now they mainly farm and grazing as their supplements. There are also a large number of people doing business and many engaged in various craftsmen. Therefore, the Nangong tribe and the Geshu tribe cannot farm?"

"I plan to turn 1,000 of them into farmers first, each of which is divided into 50 acres of land, which is only 50,000 acres. In recent years, as the great cannibals continue to force northward, more Sogdian farmers will escape here. In the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, Brother Feng is not an outsider, so I just talked straight. I heard that the military system of the three places in Jingji, Henan and Taiyuan was completely destroyed, and a large number of landless farmers were lonely and helpless, drifting around to work as servants, work short-term workers or rent a farmer."

"As the chief minister, Brother Feng naturally has the responsibility to write a letter to the court and migrate more Han farmers here. In three years, if there were 1,000 households a year, the situation in the entire Western Regions would be completely stabilized!"

"By the way, Geluo and Alishi are both tribes that are suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. They simply form an alliance with them and let their farmers come to Talas to farm. I asked Geluo's Great Shaman..."

"Great Shaman? What is that?"

"Ahem, I forgot to tell you that these small tribes are tribes that believe in mountains, rivers, sun and moon. Some people in the tribes communicate with the gods through some kind of sacrificial dance ritual, either divination, or cure diseases, and all of them were all. Last time I was worshipping the fallen soldiers under the snow-capped mountains, I asked them to come to Talas to observe together, and they were deeply moved."

"I, Aye, learned these rituals with some Khitans sent to the Pamirs and passed them to me, so..."

"Da Lang!" Feng Changqing's face changed, "It's fine to teach the baby soldiers to read and read Chinese, that's a good way to educate them, but this..."

Sun Xiurong said: "No, there are many tribes here and many beliefs. Some of them have already penetrated into the bone marrow. How easy is it to be included in the scope of education every day? Isn't it better to let them use it for me for the time being? Now that we are surrounded by dangers, we naturally have to have a stopgap plan!"

"Oh," Feng Changqing sighed, "What Dalang said is reasonable, since it is a temporary solution, then let's talk about it for three years. By the way, you always talk about it for three years, why does this say?"

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "Brother Feng, three years later, the youngest of these young soldiers is eighteen years old, and the oldest is twenty-one or two years old. After three years of practice, practice and experience, he has long become an elite army. If the armor and others can cooperate, I will have the confidence to fight Moheda with these three thousand elite soldiers!"

"So that's it! In three years, you will still be in peace with Moheda?"

"It's just a rough algorithm, and it's naturally not possible within a year. In fact, it will be able to fight in two years. Let's talk about it then. If Mo Hedagan honestly surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, wouldn't we be better?"
