He didn't care about what was going on outside and only focused on practicing the Overlord Spear!
Ever since Li Yi learned that Chai Shao had changed his mind midway and overturned all his policies in Youzhou, he paid little attention to the changes in the outside world. He only knew how to sign in and practice the Overlord Spear Art every day, ignoring everything else.
As a result, Li Yi's time in the Heaven Prison passed abnormally quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a year and a half had passed!
Li Yi had also stayed in the imperial prison for two years and ten months. Soon, the three-year time limit for signing in the imperial prison would expire!
Of course, once the three years were up, Li Yi would not be able to continue signing in to the Heaven Prison!
As for where to choose the check-in location in the future, Li Yi had yet to consider this problem.
During the one and a half years of practicing the Overlord Spear Technique, Li Yi's intelligence had also increased!
"In the future, how will we obtain the world?"
"It's enough to grasp the scriptures and change!"
Li Yi's eyes were clear and bright. Coupled with his thin but handsome face, he exuded a faint sense of wisdom.
This was the result of his bitter cultivation in the Heaven Prison!
Ascetic cultivation wasn't only about physical cultivation, but also about wisdom!
And what could ultimately help Li Yi seize the world was wisdom!
Of course, wisdom was not omnipotent. It needed to be protected. For example, Li Yi had been practicing the Overlord Spear Technique for many years!
After understanding everything.
Li Yi finally began to understand Youzhou and the changes in the world from the jailer!
……
A year and a half.
It wasn't too much to say, but it wasn't too much to say about Young Master.
Ever since Chai Shao overthrew Li Yi's two policies in Youzhou, the Great Tang Imperial Court had quickly stirred up controversy!
Quite a number of people, such as Li Er, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and so on, understood the effect of Li Yi's mutual trade policy and division policy.
However, there were also some boorish people. Perhaps they knew the benefits of Li Yi's strategy, but they just couldn't stand trading with the Turks. Especially during the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks had entered Han territory many times to seek benefits. As a result, Chai Shao was prepared to go head-to-head with the Turks, which suited the Hawk Faction's appetite.
At that time, the topic of debate in the court was naturally whether or not to remove Chai Shao!
Dismissal meant that Li Yi's strategy would continue.
If he stayed, he would choose to go to war with the Turks!
The court discussed for two whole days, and in the end, Li Er, who had won the world on horseback, chose to support Chai Shao!
Just like that, the situation in Youzhou changed.
The first was the Youzhou people outside the pass. They were forced to give up the black soil they had reclaimed in their early years. They first retreated into Youzhou City and then prepared to move inside the pass.
Secondly, all kinds of silk and horse trade inside and outside Youzhou came to an abrupt end. All the passes were under martial law, and Hu merchants were not allowed to enter the country!
In the end, the Serenity Plains, the Clouds Plains, and the other Great Walls were repaired, and the Beacon Towers were quickly reactivated. It looked like a great war was about to break out!
In the face of this situation, the people of Youzhou were naturally frightened. Most of them chose to abandon their industries, even their ancestral industries, and quickly moved south. In the end, only some poor people who could not afford to move were left in Youzhou.
When trade was cut off, the population also plummeted, and the economy plummeted. The taxes of Youzhou also began to fall like a cliff.
Hence, that Chai Shao suddenly became nervous.
Originally, Li Yi had traded with the Turks in Youzhou and collected a large amount of commercial taxes. Then, he used the commercial taxes to feed the border troops, recruit craftsmen, forge weapons, and so on. Then, he used the border troops to protect the trade, forming a virtuous cycle.
It could be said that as long as the time was right and there was a natural disaster outside the pass, Li Yi could lead his army north and destroy the Turks!
As for Chai Shao, he might have some ability to charge into battle, but he still lacked some ability if he wanted to manage a border town like Youzhou!
Soon, Chai Shao could not collect taxes and wanted to support the huge border army that Li Yi had left behind. He was unable to do so and had no choice but to ask the court for money and food.
When the request for help letter was delivered to Li Er's table, Li Er was so angry that his lungs almost exploded!
When Li Yi was guarding Youzhou, not only did he not ask for a single cent of money and grain from the Imperial Court, he even provided a large number of horses, cattle, and sheep to the Imperial Court. It could be said that he had made great contributions to pacifying the world!
However, Chai Shao had just arrived at Youzhou Province.
After venting his anger, Li Er finally chose to send people to bring money and food to support Chai Shao!
There was no turning back!
Now that things had come to this, Li Er could only hold on!
Of course, the money and grain allocated by the Imperial Court could not completely cover the huge military expenditure of Youzhou.
Just like that, Chai Shao had yet to fight the Turks, but he had already begun to have a headache over money and food.
But how could such a proud person like Chai Shao bury himself in all kinds of daily calculations all day?
What should he do then?
Then he would imitate the famous general of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing, and feed on the enemy!
Soon, Chai Shao came up with yet another wrong policy, which was to attack the Turkic tribes outside the pass and plunder their cattle, sheep, horses, and goods for military use!
As soon as this policy was introduced, the border cavalry in Youzhou immediately swarmed out of the pass and swept away all the small Turkic tribes that were friendly to the Great Tang!
A portion of the Turkic tribes that were lucky enough to escape quickly fled to the borders of the Great Tang and joined the Jie Li Khagan.
That Jie Li Khan was also an ambitious person and immediately used this opportunity to gather the Turkic tribes to discuss the matter of attacking the Tang Empire!
