In the first year of Zhenguan, although this sudden smallpox was fierce, it finally passed without any danger. The matter of growing cowpox was slowly promoted, mainly because the yield of cowpox powder has not increased. For this reason, the imperial court sent people to the grassland to harvest cows, either for farming or for producing more cowpox powder.

A few months later, all the people in Qingtian County finally planted cowpox. There was no way for those who were infected with smallpox. They could only concentrate in one place to guard and prevent them from running out. It would be the best that they could survive. Those who could not survive could only burn the corpse. After all, smallpox is really terrible. If the corpse is buried underground, it might still spread smallpox.

Under such circumstances, Li Xiu finally drew out a batch of cowpox powder and planted cowpox all over the Ministry of Agriculture. The blockade of Qingtian County's border has not been lifted, but it has been much looser. Yang Nong and the others can finally enter Qingtian County. Through them, Li Xiu also learned that although the corn and sweet potato planting in Qingtian County has been affected, the impact has been minimized through Yang Dui's previous efforts, which also made Yang Nong and others breathe a sigh of relief.

"Husband, I heard that the ceiling outside has been controlled. When will we move back?" When we were having breakfast that morning, Yi Niang asked suddenly. After that, she looked at Yue Chan next to her. Both of them were worried about the tea workshop at home. After all, the martial law in Chang'an City has not been lifted, and they cannot send people out. Although Li Xiu can go out, he has never been concerned about the business at home, so Yi Niang wanted to move back early, and there is no danger anyway.

"Miss Clothes sister, I thought of going with me. She was used to living outside. She always felt a little frustrated in the city. If there was no danger, let's move back early." At this time, Princess Pingyang also agreed. After the princess's mansion was rewarded, she had almost never lived in it. In comparison, she still prefers life in the other courtyard.

"This..." Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. After a moment, he spoke, "Xiu Ning, Yi Niang, please wait a little longer. Although the situation in Qingtian County has stabilized, smallpox is very spreading. No one is sure that there is no danger that has erupted now. This is also the reason why the court has not lifted the Chang'an martial law order, so it's better to wait for a while."

When he said this, Li Xiu paused for a moment and then smiled, "It's a coincidence that our new home has been built, but the new house is a bit trendy, and the weather is just hot next time, so it's better to hang it for a few months, and then we will move to our new home directly!"

Li Xiu's new home was built for a whole year, mainly because Li Xiu proposed many new ideas during the construction, which greatly slowed down the progress of the project. Fortunately, the craftsmen used were all from the Princess's Mansion. Even though the smallpox incident had caused panic before, the project did not stop. Now it has finally been completed, Li Xiu went to see it, and most of them met his requirements. As for the remaining small part, it really exceeded this era, so he had to give up helplessly.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Yi Niang and Princess Pingyang have to nod their heads helplessly, but Yue Chan suddenly said, "Master, the wife and the others cannot go back for the time being, but can you take me back first, so that I can also take care of my family's property, especially in the summer harvest in a while, so it will not be possible without a person to take care of it!"

As soon as Yuechan said that, Yi Niang and Princess Pingyang nodded in agreement. Apart from the two of them, only Yuechan can make the decision on the family affairs. Moreover, she is reliable in doing things. Even if they go back, they have to rely on Yuechan to handle the family affairs. Especially Yuechan has also been vaccinated with cowpox, so there is no need to worry about getting infected with smallpox, so it is best for Yuechan to go back now.

Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Yue Chan's request. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, Yue Chan, you can go back, but I will take more people. I will often go out of the city. If you have any questions, I will tell me!"

Seeing Li Xiu agreeing, Yuechan nodded happily, and then was pulled aside by Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang. After all, she was too anxious when she left home last time and had no time to explain many things. Now that Yuechan is back, she naturally has to let her deal with it.

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation. It seemed that Yuechan must have been busy when she went back this time. Not to mention anything else, the tea workshop and Xiashou were enough to keep her feet from touching the ground. Unfortunately, he really couldn't help because he knew nothing about family matters, and it was all these women who were busy.

But at this moment, suddenly, a servant ran over quickly and then reported to Li Xiu in a low voice: "Master, someone has come from the palace. He said that Your Majesty wants to invite you to the palace!"

When Li Xiu heard that Li Shimin wanted to invite him to the palace, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Now that smallpox is already under control, it seems that nothing is wrong with him. Why would Li Shimin let himself enter the palace at this time?

However, although it was a little strange, Li Xiu changed his clothes and asked someone to prepare a horse to go to the palace. When he came to Liangyi Palace, he found that Li Shimin was discussing affairs with Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui. When he saw him, Li Shimin immediately greeted with a smile: "Li Xiu, come quickly, good news is coming from the Turks!"

"Turkish? Could it be that Tuli and Jieli fought?" Li Xiu immediately asked with surprise when he heard Li Shimin mentioning the Turks. The Turks were the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty. He had proposed many ways to deal with the Turks before, in order to solve the Turks, a major problem that was a confidant.

"Haha~, not only did the fight start, but the sudden interest rate almost lost even his life!" Li Shimin laughed happily at this time. He was under a lot of pressure because of the smallpox incident before. Although Li Xiu found a solution, the threat of smallpox could not be lifted in a short time. Now there is finally good news that allows him to laugh happily.

"It's great. What's going on? Please tell me!" Li Xiu shouted excitedly after receiving the exact answer. The Turks had been seriously injured before, and the power between Tuli and Jie Li was even more powerful. However, if they didn't fight for a day, there would be a huge threat to them. Now they finally fought, so they would no longer have to worry about them heading south.

"Hehe, the Turks are so lively this time. Jie Li's prestige has been greatly reduced after his defeat in the last battle. Many nobles in the Turks are reluctant to listen to his orders anymore. However, Jie Li was not willing to accept it. After more than a year of rest, he was ready to regroup and establish his prestige of a great khan. As a result, Tu Li was in trouble at this time..."

With Li Shimin's account, Li Xiu finally understood the current situation of the Turks. It turned out that after Jie Li recovered some vitality, he was furious when he saw that the nobles in the country did not obey his orders. So he wanted to find a chicken to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. As a result, the candidate for this chicken easily fell on Tuli. After all, Jie Li has always been dissatisfied with Tuli, and was once again posed by Tuli last time. Who would he kill if he doesn't kill him now?

At the beginning, Jie Li found a very bad excuse, which was to recruit soldiers from Tuli. The Turks implemented the people's soldiers, and adult men in China were soldiers. Jie Li wanted to recruit soldiers from Tuli, which was actually equivalent to drinking Tuli's blood. You should know that strength was the most respected on the grassland. If Tuli had no army in his hands, it would be slaughtered, so Tuli naturally refused to agree. As a result, Jie Li used this reason to attack Tuli.

"Then what's the situation now? With Tuli, it's unlikely that it's Jie Li's opponent, right?" Li Xiu asked again after hearing this. He was not optimistic about Tuli, especially after meeting him on the banks of the Weishui River last time, he felt that Tuli was not a person who did big things. On the contrary, although Jie Li was shameless, he was not an opponent that could be underestimated.

"Li Xiu, you guessed it right. Jie Li had been secretly preparing for Tuli for a long time. As a result, as soon as the two armies contacted each other, Tuli lost consecutively and was now fleeing south. It is probably likely to escape into the territory of our Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said with a smile at this time. He had seen something from Tuli's escape route.

"Xiangnan? Your Majesty means that Tuli will probably ask for help from my Tang Dynasty?" Li Xiu immediately understood the meaning of his words when he heard Li Shimin's words.

"Hehe, I did guess this way. And with Tuli's current situation, there is no other person to save him except for my Tang Dynasty, so he only has one way, that is, to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would wait for Jie Li to capture him back and cut him down with a knife!" Li Shimin also grinned at this time. Although he and Tuli were allies, Tuli had cheated him of a lot of money and supplies last time, so now he felt very happy when he saw Tuli's unluckyness.

"If Tuli really surrenders to my Tang Dynasty, how will His Majesty arrange him?" Li Xiu nodded when he heard Li Shimin's analysis, and then asked again.

"I have discussed this issue with Wuji and the others. Tuli has no ambitions. He can win him over with high officials and generous salaries, and then continue to split the Turks under his banner. When the strength of the Turks is reduced to a certain level, it will be the day when the Tang Dynasty destroys the Turks!" Li Shimin said at the end, a vicious expression appeared on his face. He was a very revengeful person, especially when he was almost forced to destroy the country by Jie Li last time, which made him vow long ago that he would definitely destroy the Turks in this life!
