The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

"It shouldn't be! When he was in Chang'an, Du Er was very aggressive."

Cheng Chusi whispered.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation. Are there any casualties in each division?"

Doo Ho said.

Hearing the question, the three teachers shook their heads and smiled wryly.

"General, our 14th division is often attacked by indigenous people at night, and more than 20 people have been killed and hundreds of people have been slightly injured.

No serious injuries.The aborigines smeared poison on wooden thorns, and once the thorns were stabbed, there was no time to heal them. "

Li Dejian said.

"Our 15th Division was also attacked by indigenous people at night. Especially in the first few days, the soldiers were lax in defense.

I suffered a great loss.A total of more than 50 people were sacrificed and hundreds of people were slightly injured.As Dejian said, the natives are too shameless,

Apply poison to the wood thorns.Later, our division strengthened its defense, and the indigenous sneak attack was unsuccessful.

However, when the aborigines attacked unexpectedly at night, we had no choice but to stick to the camp and not dare to pursue them. "

Cheng Chu said.

"Master, the situation of the 16th division is a bit better. We were also attacked by the aborigines. However, we have been defending tightly and did not let the aborigines succeed. Even the aborigines who come to sneak attack every time, stay and kill them all."

Peng Yue said.

Oh!

The 16th division had no casualties!

Worthy of being a generation of famous generals.

Unlike Li Dejian and Cheng Chusi, they had problems only when their defense was lax.

"Have you dealt with the villages and towns on the island?"

Doo Ho said.

Ha ha!

Cheng Chusi laughed.

"General, don't worry! As long as the areas swept by the 15th Division, not a single tile will be left, and all will be burned to ashes.

However, some natives ran into the deep mountains and old forests, and the imperial army had no choice but to give up arresting them. "

Cheng Chu said.

The aborigines ran into the deep mountains and old forests, but Du He was not worried.

There are not too many natives who can really survive in the deep mountains.

Even if it survives without inheritance, it will disappear in the long river of history after decades.

The situation of the two divisions of Peng Yue and Li Dejian was similar.

"There won't be many natives who fled into the mountains!"

Doo Ho said.

"General, don't worry! Only a very small number of natives escaped in. Under the attack of the imperial army, it is not easy to escape."

Li Dejian said.

"Did you three divisions bury the bodies of the indigenous people who were killed during the raid? Don't think that they are overseas, so you don't need to bury them.

This is not acceptable, it must be buried in time.Otherwise, once the plague occurs, it will bring unnecessary casualties to the imperial army. "

Doo Ho said.

"General, don't worry! All the natives who were hacked to death were buried. No one dares to violate the regulations on this point."

Li Dejian said.

Chapter 398 Policies to Increase Population

Chang'an Imperial Study Room:

Li Er and several important ministers were extremely surprised when they saw a piece of dog's head gold weighing more than ten catties on the table.

That's right!

This is the dog's head gold that Du He just brought.

On Shizhou Island, the prospectors found the original place of the dog head gold by asking the indigenous people.

At the source of a small river, it was discovered that there was a hidden gold mine with a huge yield.

This is a huge discovery.

The gold content of this piece of dog head gold is very high, reaching more than [-]%.

For this reason, Du He sent the dog head gold picked up by the prospectors to Chang'an Li Second Hand.

Let Li Er be happy first.

"Your Majesty, did Du He really find that piece of gold on the table on Shizhou Island?"

Wei Zhengdao.

Several important ministers were also shocked in their hearts.

I have never seen such a big dog head gold.

Ha ha!

Li Er smiled.

"Xuan Cheng, it was indeed sent by Du He. I heard that the source of the gold mine has been found and preparations are underway to mine it."

Li Erdao.

What is gold?

wealth!

A symbol of wealth for a nation.

"Your Majesty, how big is the reserve? Has our Ministry of Finance sent officials to monitor the mining process?"

The eldest grandson said nothing.

Damn it!

Isn't this to grab credit?

There is a strict system for mining, so what does the Ministry of Households do?

On the surface, it seems to be monitoring the miners to prevent the miners from stealing gold mines, but in fact they want to hold the gold mines in their hands.

The words of Changsun Wuji made the military boss very unhappy.

It is obvious that they do not trust the military and Du He.

Watch!

Who is watching!

"Master Changsun, we all know the purpose of Du He's army's expedition. The Ministry of Households has seen the results.

Jump out and grab it right away.What kind of surveillance, isn't the military's defense better than the Ministry of Household Affairs?

It is enough for the Ministry of Finance to manage the money bags of the empire. Don't meddle everywhere, it will affect the enthusiasm and the morale of the soldiers. "

Li Ji said.

Li Ji is also a direct descendant of Li Er.

You know, Li Ji was originally called Xu Ji, but after surrendering to the Tang Empire, he was given the surname Li directly.

At this time, the surname Li was the surname of the country.

Giving the surname Li is definitely a great honor for others.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it is not very good to replace the supervision at this time. The Ministry of Households should stop interfering."

Li Jing said.

In the past, Li Jing's health was not very good, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, so he didn't bother to argue with others.

Now, Li Jing's body has been massaged by Du He, and all the old injuries have healed.The key is that Du He's words work.

The art of war cannot be shamed, and we must find a way to make it available.

Although Du He didn't print many copies, at least Li Er wouldn't be brought into the coffin!

He is in good health and can live for decades. Li Jing no longer pretends to be sick, and takes up the post and continues to be a captain.

"Your Majesty, I also object to the Ministry of Households intervening. Isn't that just looking for trouble? The military is doing a good job, so why should the Ministry of Households do it?"

Cheng Yaojin said.

Next, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong and other military leaders spoke out against it.

Regardless of the relationship with Duhe, the military is absolutely one-hearted in terms of foreign affairs.

Hou Junji and Du He had a little friction, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation.

If you don't support Duhe at this time, how will you get along in the military in the future?

"Okay, don't meddle in this matter with the auxiliary machine, let Du He handle it in detail."

Li Erdao.

This time no one gnawed anymore.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Du He sent tens of thousands of captives, many of them women. What's going on here?"

Wang Gui questioned.

Captive men can work, but captive women are very inappropriate in the eyes of Daru.

In the eyes of ancient people, women are definitely a disadvantaged group.

"Shu Jie, you are right! Du He sent back a total of more than 7 people in merchant ships, including more than 4 women.

Moreover, at the port of Shizhou Island, Du He arranged for someone to train those women.Now captive women,

I can basically understand Central Plains etiquette, speak simple Central Plains dialect, and cook Central Plains dishes.Some of these people are used for auction,

Let the major brothels, restaurants, and entertainment venues pay to buy them back, and there will not be many women in this group.

Most of them will be given to the people of the empire as wives for free.Everyone knows that the Central Plains has experienced hundreds of years of war,

The population has declined tremendously.The empire is short of population, so the population of the Central Plains must be increased.The arrest of women on Shizhou Island is for the sake of the people. "

Li Er explained.

"Your Majesty, it's not right! It's good to give it to the common people for free, but the problem is how many women from the ten states and islands we can capture, even if we capture them all, it's still not enough to distribute."

Wei Ting said.

"Master Wei, you made a mistake. Not all the people give wives, but those who don't have wives."

Gao Jian said.

Damn!

It's such a beautiful idea.

No matter how many people there are in the Tang Empire, there will be so many women there to send them off.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is still a fee to be charged, and it cannot be given away for free. No one will feel sorry for free things.

Those who can't find a wife, some are from poor families, and some are of poor character.All are treated equally, which is really not good.

To distinguish it, it is true that the family is poor, and those who cannot marry a wife can give it away for free.If it's a character problem, you have to pay. "

Fang Xuanling said.

"Okay! I agree that it depends on the situation. It is mainly distributed to those people whose families are too poor to marry a wife. Others will not be considered."

Li Erdao.
