Luo Shi waved his hand and skillfully seized the weapons, bows and arrows on the ground, and escorted the soldiers aside. These weapons were extremely low in cost. The Tang Dynasty disdained to use them, so they even confiscated them and gave them to the court, thrown them into the stove and re-smelted forging, turning into the most famous battle knife in the Tang Dynasty.

Some soldiers who knew how to grazed horses even shouted at the herd of sheep and horses and took everything away in one breath.

"General, how should these prisoners be dealt with?" Yan Pei's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. He hated the Turks to the core, so he wanted to kill all the Turks. Because Luo Shixin had a precedent for massacre of the Xi tribe, he also expressed his meaning in a tactful manner.

Luo Shixin knew his intention and laughed: "When will the Turks kill not kill? What's the point of killing these guys who have no fighting intention? Keep it and use it to trade for Gelusili."

Yan Pei felt a little regretful, but he was worried about not being killed by the Turks under Luo Shixin? After thinking about it this way, he felt relieved and no longer worried about this issue.

After entering Shuofang territory, Luo Shixin looked at the fields beside Shuofang City.

The vicinity of Shuofang belongs to the northern land and is more suitable for animal husbandry than farming. However, the Han people are ultimately a nation that is mainly farming. Even if they are on the grassland, they cannot change the habits of this nation.

They have reclaimed farmland suitable for cultivation on the grasslands near Shuofang, but now these farmlands are bumpy, with stones and traces of trampling by thousands of horses.

It is obvious that it was because of Liu Min and Liu Lan who sent people to take Shuofang to take down Shuofang. Under their interference, all the fields in Shuofang became abandoned and the grains were not harvested, which led to the tragic situation in Shuofang City. I remembered the people in Shuofang City and agreed with Ma Zhou's proposal more.

On the eve of the dispatch of troops, Luo Shixin suddenly received Ma Zhou's request for advice.

"General, if possible, my subordinates hope that the general can spare the Turkic people on the Shuobei grassland."

In Luo Shixin's opinion, Ma Zhou's proposal was a tough problem for him.

For the sake of the overall situation, Luo Shixin let go of Geluosili and his army. However, he was determined to kill the Turks who were already in Shuofang. The original plan was that he would drive away Geluosili's large army, and Su Dingfang directly attacked the Turks on the Shuobei grassland and annihilated them with Shuobei.

But Ma Zhou wanted him to let the Turkic people go, which seemed incredible to him, and even some kindness of women.

But according to his understanding of Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou, as an excellent politician, is a dark heart, and there is no trace of the kindness of a woman in him, so he lets him continue to talk.

"Liu Min and Liu Lan were really powerful in the destruction of Shuofang. As the governor of Xiazhou, the general held the military and political power of Xiazhou. In Qingzhou, Suizhou and Yanzhou, our Tang Dynasty had been under the rule of government orders for many years. The general was in charge of Qingzhou at that time, he could not dry up government affairs. He had superiors and subordinates, and dealt with them properly. However, Xiazhou was different. Shuofang was hit hard by our dynasty, with sparse population and barren fields. Since the general was in charge of government affairs, he had the obligation to develop Shuofang."

Ma Zhou is worthy of being Ma Zhou. He has the style of Fan Zhongyan worrying about the world before and then having fun in the world afterwards.

Luo Shixin used his thoughts on military affairs and did not consider Shuofang's government affairs yet. Perhaps it was because Qingzhou, Suizhou, and Yanzhou didn't need him to worry about it. He had the governors of the three states to deal with it, so he ignored his own affairs in charge of government affairs.

Now all the government affairs in Xiazhou are in the hands of Liu Min and Liu Lan. When he took over as the governor of Xiazhou, the two will be transferred to the south as governors, and everything in Xiazhou will be handled with him in full.

How to deal with this? Luo Shixin didn't even think about it.

Fortunately, he has Ma Zhou in his hands, and the value of an excellent subordinate is reflected here.

Ma Zhou not only thought about this issue, but also compiled a series of governance plans with his outstanding political talent.

Food is the most important thing for the people. If you want to develop Shuofang and truly become a military base for the decisive grassland in the Central Plains, the first priority is to develop the fields.

Only with fields and land can there be hope.

The fields around Shuofang are dry fields, which are extremely difficult to cultivate. They are man-made and the yield is too low. To achieve results in a short period of time, sufficient oxen are needed.

This Tang Dynasty could not have invested too many oxen to reclaim the already deserted dry land for Shuofang.

The only way to plow oxen is to let them think of a way!

The reason why Ma Zhou wanted to save the lives of the Turkic people was to exchange for the plowing ox.

Luo Shixin naturally convinced Ma Zhou. He still remembered the miserable appearance of the people of Shuofang, and he almost dismissed from his post because of this.

According to the current situation, even if the Turks are released, they will not cause any big waves. However, the ox traded with them can make the people of the Tang Dynasty in Shuofang live a good life, and this transaction is worth it.

Now that he passed through Shuofang fields and saw the scene of Shuofang fields, he became even more determined to think so.

After entering Shuofang City, the scene in Shuofang City was much better than when I first came in.

The people who come and go are energetic, but because they are a bit ruined, there is no shop on the street that opens, and no businessman is willing to come here to do business. It takes some effort to truly develop.

Luo Shixin was not very worried about this, but was full of confidence.

He is indeed a newbie in government affairs, but he has Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui. The former is a politician who assisted Li Shimin in building a high status in the Tang Dynasty, and another prime minister who was both civil and military in governing Baekje. As a superior, the wisdom of his subordinates is his wisdom. With them, why worry about the uncertain governance of Xiazhou?

I walked straight to Shuofang Official Residence.

Liu Min heard the news, Liu Lan came out to greet him bitterly. Looking at Luo Shixin who was sitting on the horse, the two of them thought of their respective appointments, and their hearts were getting colder.

They never thought it would end like this.

"Hello, two governors!" Luo Shixin naturally had no favoritism for the villain behind the two of them. He didn't even get down, and said with a bit of arrogance and mocking.

Liu Min and Liu Lan were promoted, but the governor was more powerful than their Xia Prefecture Chief Sima, but there were many types of states.

Liu Min was arranged to Yizhou, and Liu Lan was arranged to Rongzhou, both of which were close to ethnic minorities. It was located in the south of the Tang Dynasty and was a remote area not in the main development zone. It was not even convenient for message transmission, which was almost equivalent to being released.

This is far away, and the political future is dim.

In fact, with Li Shimin's skill, he knew who would have made great contributions to Shuofang. If Liu Min and Liu Lan did not play this game, they would be rewarded and reused. However, they were inappropriate and unrighteous. They moved a stone and smashed it at his foot, and suffered it themselves. (To be continued)
