Chapter 423 Turkic regeneration
The door of the house was opened, and Li Yifu walked into the house and said, "Chang'an Order, the Turks are here to ask for food again."
Li Zheng wrapped in bedding and said, "How much do you want."
Li Yifu took out the booklet and said, "It takes 100,000 stones."
Xu Hui sat silently.
Li Tai was eating tea eggs and observing Li Zheng's expression.
After taking a sip of hot water, Li Zheng said, "I want so much."
Li Yifu rubbed his frozen ears and said, "The harvest this year is good. Our village has a lot of grain in stock, and 100,000 stones should be no problem."
Li Zheng drank hot water and said, "Can the Turks afford so much food nowadays?"
Hearing this, Li Tai laughed silently as if he knew what Li was about to say.
Today, the Turks have been beaten to death by the Western Turks.
The Turkic people were almost gone, how much money was left?
Li Yifu whispered again: "The Turkic envoy is waiting outside the village. In addition to the Turkic envoy, there is also an official who said he was Duan Lun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and he was the one who sent to the Turkic."
Li Zheng held the warm teacup and said, "Bring people."
"Here."
Li Yi's mansion hurriedly left and took a while to come with his people.
The Turkic envoy stood outside the house and bowed and said, "I have seen the Chang'an Order."
Another official wearing an official uniform said: "At the foot of Duan Lun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the record officer and the military officer Fang Sheng."
The two people standing outside the house could not see Li Zheng inside the house, but could hear the sound of talking.
"Turkish envoy, this time you want 100,000 stones of food. Can you afford to buy so much?"
The Turkic envoy knelt on one knee and said, "We can't afford it, but we are willing to sell land to exchange for food."
The room was quiet for a long time again.
Li Zheng's words came out again, "The last time he came to buy food with a weak mind, he looked reluctant, but now he is not so proactive."
The Turkic envoy lowered his head, muttering words but couldn't say anything.
Fang Sheng, the director of the Records Officer in the official uniform, glanced at the face of the Turkic envoy, and kept a distance and seemed to hate the smell of the Turkic envoy.
He smiled and said, "Chang'an Order, the officials talk more, and the Turks are not having a good time now."
The room was quiet for a while and there was no sound.
The wind was very cold, Fang Sheng tightened his clothes and said, "The Chang'an Order, the lower officials followed Duan of the Ministry of War on the grassland for so long, and the most common ones they saw were Turkic people not died under the enemy's butcher's knife, but starved to death."
Li Zheng, who was sitting in the room, took a sip of hot tea and still didn't say anything.
The Turkic envoy pointed at Fang Sheng angrily and said, "It's not you yet! Your Duan Lun is commanding us to fight!"
Fang Sheng sneered and said, "Do you understand the art of war? Our Minister Duan worked hard to save you, and you are still so ungrateful."
"If you hadn't commanded randomly, would so many of our Turkic tribes have returned to this level?"
"Who will come to save you except the Tang Dynasty? Why? I don't want us to save you. I can ask Your Majesty to ask His Majesty to return to Chang'an."
Li Yifu stood at the door and watched the scene. The Turkic envoy was about to fight Duan Lun.
"I can give you food, but not a hundred thousand stones, I will give you two hundred thousand stones."
"Thank you for the Chang'an Order!" the Turkic envoy said immediately.
“There is no need to ced the land.”
"Really?" The Turkic messenger looked delighted.
Li Zheng said again: "I want 50,000 of your Turkic tribes to move into Hetao and raise horses for us Tang people in Hetao."
It is of course the best not to cede land or pay, so the Turkic envoy quickly agreed.
Li Yifu walked up to the Turkic envoy and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get food."
"Thank you, thank you." The Turkic envoy bowed repeatedly.
Li Tai didn't understand what Li Zheng meant, and there was another voice from outside.
Fang Sheng stood outside the door and shouted, "Mr. Duan asked the minister to bring a message, hoping to speak with Chang'an Order in person."
Seeing that the other party was about to walk forward, Dahu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Fang Sheng had to stand outside the door.
Li Zheng's cough came from the room, and the sound of words came again, "I'm not in good health, so I won't see you anymore, go back."
Fang Sheng looked into the house strangely and said loudly again: "But Mr. Duan has something to bring."
"Send out the guest." Li Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, accompanied by a cough.
Xu Hui quickly poured Li Zheng another cup of hot tea.
Dahu stopped outside the door and said, "Please go back."
Still unable to see what was inside the house, Fang Sheng took a few steps back and left, and a cough came from the room behind him.
Inside the room, Li Zheng kept coughing, and only after taking a sip of hot water made his throat feel more comfortable.
Xu Hui stroked Li Zheng's back so that he could breathe and feel comfortable.
Drinking hot water, Li Zheng wrapped the bedding tighter again, "This cold is really bad."
This time Fang Sheng came to see Li Zheng, but when he heard the constant coughing sounds from inside the house, Li Zheng was still unwilling to see him. Could it be that he was really terminally ill and his life was not long?

It is said that even on the day of Li Zheng’s remarks, there were no guests at the banquet, and only a few people came to see Li Zheng.
The five surnames have always had suspicions in the court. Fang Sheng is a child of aristocratic family and is also from the Cui family.
Cui Lin, the head of the Cui family, asked after hearing this: "Take it serious?"
"Because of the Turkic incident, our people went to Jingyang."
"Have you met Li Zheng?"
The Cui family shook their heads and said, "Li Zheng did not let our people see him. They spoke through the door. Moreover, Li Zheng's voice was hoarse and had no confidence. He coughed constantly, and he looked seriously ill."
Cui Lin finally had a long-lost smile on her face and a light in her eyes.
When he threw away the crutches in his hand, it seemed that he had recovered halfway through his illness. He shouted: "Tell everyone to prepare and wait for Li Zheng to die."
"Here!"
The Cui family members left quickly.
Cui Lin said again: "I actually serve as a grand congratulation when I hold a banquet!"
The servant next to him said, "The head of the family, the doctor said that the head of the family cannot drink alcohol and eat meat."
Cui Lin laughed and said, "I can eat a cow now!"
When people encounter happy events, they feel refreshed, and Cui Lin even wants to live another five hundred years.
Jingyang
Li Yi's mansion asked the Turkic envoy to leave with 200,000 stones of food.
Li Zheng shouted, "Big Hu, come in."
Dahu, who was standing outside the door, walked into the house, "What are the instructions for Chang'an Order?"
Li Zheng said to Dahu: "Tell Xue Rengui that he can secretly send Duan Lun and his party back to Guanzhong."
Li Tai asked, "Are you worried that Duan Lun will not come back?"
Li Zheng handed Xu Hui a tea egg, but saw that the girl was peeling and eating it.
I had to take another one and peel it myself. The little girl was not very sensible and didn't blame her.
Li Tai asked, "Now that the Turkic situation is like this, who dares to touch Duan Lun?"
