Chapter 525
Xue Yantuo was originally a small tribe, but after annexing the Eastern Turks, it became strong today.
Ashinasheer is the royal family of Eastern Turks, how could Xue Yantuo tolerate him.
And Ashinasheer almost wiped out the Western Turks, and the Western Turks couldn't tolerate him even more.
The Tang Dynasty is different. Although the demise of the Eastern Turks has something to do with the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin did not kill Jieli Khan. In comparison, the hatred is not that deep.
Of course, no matter what, Datang was a foreign race to Ashinasheer, and if he hadn't reached the end of his life, he would not have surrendered to Datang.
Lin Xuan didn't expect Xue Rengui and the others to recruit Ashinasheer.
I only hope that they can secretly help Ashinasheer and let him persist for a while.
"Even so, I think the chances of Ashinasheer surrendering to Tang Dynasty are very small." Cheng Chumo said.
Save others by yourself.
If it were him, he would also choose to surrender to his own race instead of taking refuge in a foreign race.
"You don't have to worry about these, just do as I say."
Lin Xuan can't always say that in history Ashinasheer took refuge in Datang and made great contributions to Datang.
Seeing what Lin Xuan said, Cheng Chumo and the others could only nod their heads.
"By the way, does His Majesty have an order to send troops when?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Although the time has not been determined yet, the weapons, food and grass have been prepared, and now that the weather is getting warmer, the day of dispatching troops should not be long." Xue Rengui said.
Li Shimin sent them to the border now to deal with emergencies.
Although the weather in the grassland is still cold, it has gradually warmed up. In addition, they need to hide their whereabouts when they rush to the border, which takes more time.
Xue Rengui guessed that the day to send troops is not long.
"For the next few days, let the soldiers rest. After I get married, I will go to meet you." Lin Xuan said.
"It's just a pity that we can't drink the wedding wine between you and Princess Changle. The three princesses get married at the same time, it must be very lively, but we can't see such a grand occasion." Cheng Chumo said with a face of regret.
"That's right, such a grand occasion is really rare." Yuchi Baolin echoed.
Lin Xuan said with a playful face: "In this case, I will go and tell His Majesty that someone else will go, and you stay for the wedding wine."
Li Shimin didn't know what to think, but he put the marriage of Princess Changle, Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Qinghe on the day.
Lin Xuan felt that Li Shimin must be trying to save money.
The princess's wedding was held in the palace, and the money was spent by Li Shimin's Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lin Xuan had reason to believe that Li Shimin did this to save money.
"Don't, don't."
Just kidding, how could they let go of the opportunity to make contributions after finally getting it.
If Li Shimin really changed them, it would be a big loss.
…………
More than ten miles away from Luoyang, on the road leading to Chang'an, many people are busy building the road.
"My lord, my little one has a stomachache."
Zhang Dali waved his hands and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
"Yes, yes." The man nodded repeatedly, and ran to the grass not far away.
Zhang Dali frowned slightly as he watched the civilian husband go away, seven or eight people said that they had stomach pains.
At first, he thought that these folks were taking this opportunity to be lazy, but he sent someone to follow him to see that it was indeed diarrhea.
It is normal for someone to have diarrhea, but the team he is in charge of has only a few dozen people, and there are seven or eight people with diarrhea in a short while, which is obviously abnormal.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dali explained, and went to find the chief foreman, wanting to report this matter.
When he came to the shed where the chief foreman was, he found that many small foremen like him had come.
Seeing Zhang Dali approaching, Xu Yanbin, the chief foreman, frowned and asked, "Did you also suffer from diarrhea?"
Zhang Dali was stunned for a moment, and said: "Master, that's right. So far, seven or eight people have suffered from diarrhea."
Xu Yanbin's face was gloomy. According to the number of people reported by these small foremen, they accounted for almost [-]% of the total number.
Moreover, the number of people is still increasing. If this continues, the process of road construction will definitely be delayed.
"You go back immediately, take care of those peasants, and don't discuss this matter in private." Xu Yanbin ordered.
"Yes."
The little foreman agreed, and each went back.
"Come here, go to the city and invite more doctors over."
Xu Yanbin was worried. He was worried about whether there was a plague.
If it's a plague, then you're in big trouble.
What he was most worried about was that he would miss the road construction because of this. Unlike those small foremen, he was a serious official.
The matter of road construction was managed by the crown prince. He originally wanted to show off and get into Li Chengqian's sight.
Now it seems that it is not bad to keep the official position this time.
"Have you heard that many people have diarrhea because the food we eat is moldy food."
A civilian husband looked around and whispered to the people around him.
"No way? Didn't you say that the prince is responsible for this road construction? How could you give us moldy food?"
"That's right, the imperial court didn't conscript corvee directly this time, and even paid us wages, why would they give us moldy food?"
This time the imperial court did not levy corvee, but hired civilian husbands. The civilian husbands were very grateful to the imperial court, and they were not so easily provoked.
"The imperial court can directly recruit us to build roads, so why pay them? How can there be such a good thing since ancient times? Since the imperial court has spent this money, it will naturally have to find it elsewhere. Moldy food can save a lot of money. money."
When many people thought about it, they felt that it made sense, and doubts appeared in their eyes.
"Think about it, everyone, if it wasn't for moldy food, how could so many people have diarrhea? I heard that not only us, but also many people in other teams have diarrhea. The imperial court didn't care about our lives at all." The civilian husband continued provoking way.
Many peasants were attracted to come over, and they said very angrily, "It's too much, you even gave us moldy food."
"What are you doing? You don't want to do it anymore, do you?"
As soon as Zhang Dali came back, he saw that the peasant husbands were not working, they gathered together, and they had a bad secret, so they quickly scolded them.
"Master Zhang, we want to know if all the food we eat is moldy?"
Seeing Zhang Dali coming back, the civilian husband hastily asked.
Zhang Dali's face changed, and he shouted: "Nonsense, how could I give you moldy food."
"My lord, if it wasn't for this reason, why do so many people have diarrhea?"
"Yes, my lord, why don't you let us go and see the food?"
A group of peasants surrounded Zhang Dali, and one of the peasants slipped away quietly while no one was paying attention.
This scene happened in various teams, and the entire construction site stopped.
Xu Yanbin heard the chaotic and noisy voices, and when he went out of the work shed, his face changed drastically.
"Come on, hurry up and stop it, and there must be no trouble."
If there is a civil uprising, let alone an official position, his life will be gone.
The officials standing around hurriedly rushed over to stop them.
If corvée is recruited, many officials will be sent to supervise in order to prevent civilian husbands from escaping.
But this time, they are hiring civilian husbands, and the wages will be lost if they run away.
Therefore, he was not worried about the escape of the civilian husband, and only sent a dozen officials to maintain order.
However, there are hundreds of people building roads in this area, and it took nearly half an hour for more than a dozen officials to appease the people.
The number of officials was too small, so all the people had to be gathered together.
