I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Xue Rengui now has many whimsical ideas in his mind.

Especially the success of the Blitzkrieg concept.

It made him realize how important the word "fast" is in war.

Maybe... even faster?
He was writing something here, Zhang Liang came over, Xue Rengui was alert, raised his hand to cover it, and he was relieved when he saw that it was Zhang Liang: "General Zhang is so relieved?"

Zhang Liang shook his head, squinted his eyes and laughed: "What new work is Mr. Xue working on?"

Xue Rengui waved his hand: "Left and right are just some new ideas." He is not yet a county man, but based on his performance on the Goguryeo battlefield, no one will deny him the title of county man.

Zhang Liang sat across from Xue Rengui: "Then I have to read it carefully."

Xue Rengui smiled shyly.

Zhang Liang paused, and then continued: "I'm here now because of His Majesty's will. As long as Xue Xiannan is willing to enter the court, His Majesty will reward you as the county magistrate and the servant of the military department."

Xue Rengui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of me."

"Young talents, your Majesty has no reason not to." Zhang Liang shook his head, "How? At your age, with such abilities, it is inevitable to go further in the future..."

I have to admit, this is indeed a very tempting thing.

But Xue Rengui shook his head and refused: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"However... I still like my current life. Although leading troops to fight has benefited a lot, it is not suitable for me."

Xue Rengui likes the feeling of leading troops to fight.

only…

He is very clear that only by following Yin Xuan's side can he use those more advanced weapons and further analyze the composition of the war.

Especially in the battle of Goguryeo, he was completely beaten.

In the past, the bargaining chips that Zhang Liang said might really make him feel excited, but now he doesn't feel excited at all.

Zhang Liang sighed: "That's really a pity."

He didn't force it, and chatted with Xue Rengui again, then turned around and left, and returned to that carriage.

Li Shimin looked around and saw that Xue Rengui didn't come in, so he understood what Xue Rengui meant, sighed softly, and beckoned Zhang Liang to sit down.

The train returned to Chang'an for three days and two nights.

Li Shimin called the ministers to a meeting to discuss the next matters - this is also a very novel thing for Datang, laying down a piece of land thousands of miles away, oh, it is two pieces of land, and has not yet set up the Protectorate's Mansion .

How to deal with these two pieces of land and who will be the chief official there is a more complicated matter than attacking Goguryeo.

New land means big, big pieces of meat that haven't been eaten by people.

Especially the meat there, so plump... that Lord Zhengyang even offered to take a bite.

After Xue Rengui returned to Chang'an, he immediately returned to Tongfu restaurant.

Liu Jing was taken aback when he saw him.

"Rengui hasn't been here for a long time, what task did the shopkeeper assign you?" Liu Jingxian remembered that the last time he saw Xue Rengui was years ago.

Even... During the Chinese New Year, Xue Rengui never showed up.This is... Xue Rengui went home for the New Year by himself?

"Some things have delayed it." Xue Rengui smiled slightly, "Which cuisine is the menu for today?"

"It's Anhui cuisine." Liu Jingxian replied.

Anhui cuisine.

Xue Rengui frowned slightly, he is not very happy to eat Anhui cuisine now, he prefers to eat something a little hotter - his taste is more serious.

Yin Xuan raised his head from behind the counter and looked over: "Are you back?"

"Just tell me what you want to eat, you don't have to follow the menu this time."

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, he snapped his fingers, and ordered several dishes. Those who listened to his order felt a slight pain in the chrysanthemum—these were extremely spicy dishes.

Yin Xuan went to the kitchen to cook.

The few guests in the restaurant looked at Xue Rengui in surprise.

They were not dissatisfied with Xue Rengui's ability to not order from the menu, they were just a little jealous - and they suddenly realized that Xue Rengui probably did something great for Mr. Zhengyang during his absence.

Since it was a major event for Mr. Zhengyang, it was justifiable to have such treatment.

that is…

They want to be treated like this too!
They also want to jump off the menu and order food.

Xue Rengui found a table and sat down. Li Lizhi was relieved to see him come back.The return of Xue Rengui also means that her father is back.

If she didn't receive the news, it meant that her father was fine.

Li Lizhi and Li Shu felt relieved and could finally concentrate on sorting out the textbooks that the Kong family needed.

"Brother Xue, what have you been up to these days?" Someone came over to ask, and it sounded like they had no other intentions, just wanted to know what kind of person Yin Xuan wanted and what kind of things he arranged to do.

Even if they don't know how to do it, they can grasp the key points and study hard.

Xue Rengui smiled, shook his head, and did not answer directly: "You will know in a few days."

Those who came forward to inquire were taken aback.

Will they all know after a while?
Some people heard Xue Rengui's subtext, and couldn't help but gasped, beating in their hearts, what extraordinary things Xue Rengui did, they all had to know.

Some people became more curious because of this.

However, it didn't take long for them to be patient. The next day, officials from the military department of the imperial court came to the restaurant and secretly discussed some matters with Yin Xuan.

three days later.

The magazine has a new issue.

People were surprised to find that the cover and front page of the new issue were not the usual academic content or poems and poems, but a piece of information.

The Great Tang conquered Goguryeo and Khitan, and now that territory has become the territory of the Great Tang.

besides……

The imperial court also issued a reclamation order. Now that you move to Liaodong, you can get as much land as you can reclaim within one year, and you can grow food, and you will also get five years of full reduction of agricultural tax and corvee.

Even if it is a cash crop like cotton, it can get a full reduction of agricultural tax and corvee for one year, and then the agricultural tax will be halved for three years.

There are many people who are tempted, not to mention agricultural tax and corvee, just that one - as much land as you can reclaim, you can get as much land, it is so attractive.

What could be more exciting for these farmers than being a landowner?
The most important thing is that it is not difficult to move to Liaodong. They don't need to travel long distances and take the risk of dying on the road.

train.

The imperial court will use trains to transport farmers who are willing to go to Liaodong for reclamation—and Datang will gradually open up the authority of trains for civilian use.

People far away in Liaodong don't have to leave their hometowns—or they don't have to leave their hometowns like before, never returning, and not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

They can still have a home in Chang'an.
