Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Now that he has heard the plan from Li You, of course Li Shimin will not miss this opportunity to perform.

He stopped laughing and continued: "Du Shangshu, I know that you Jingzhao Du family is full of loyalty."

"But how can you rely on your family for the matter of the grassland road?"

"Let's do this. I saw that You'er's report included a reward from your Jingzhao Du Clan. Let's do it. You guys are responsible for building the roads in your own fiefdom."

"After the road is completed, all titles will be promoted to two levels. At the same time, I will reward you according to the actual expanded control area."

"Master Wei, I have also received Jingzhao Webster's wishes, and you should be the same as Mrs. Du."

After saying this, Du Yan and Wei Ting thanked again.

Compared with Du Yan's selflessness, Wei Ting, who was the first to come out just now, was actually a little nervous before.

Although he dared to be the first to take the lead, he actually didn't discuss this matter with other members of the family. He decided on his own after listening to Li You's persuasion.

Although Li You promised that after this success, Li Shimin's reward would be generous, but Li You also admitted that he was not sure about what it was.

If Li Shimin's reward was too low, then all the money Webster made in the school district house this time might be lost on the grassland.

Simply, in the end Li Shimin's generosity made Wei Ting the first person to eat crabs successfully.

After Du's and Webster's received heavy rewards, all the families who thought they could get titles in the grassland also stood up and expressed their willingness to contribute to road construction.

For such a result, Li Shimin naturally accepted everything.

In fact, he originally wanted to award these lands to these families who bought the war debt. If these families were allowed to pay for road construction, he would naturally be grinning from ear to ear.

Moreover, if these aristocratic families invested so much money in the grassland, if foreign enemies invaded in the future, these aristocratic families would not consciously contribute to defending their homes and the country.

This move by Li You tied these aristocratic families firmly to the Tang chariot invisibly.

As for these aristocratic families, they clearly saw that this was a conspiracy, but they still jumped in under the huge benefits.

You must know that building roads in one's own fief is only a matter of hundreds of thousands, which is nothing compared to the vast land.

These aristocratic families have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and in their opinion, the value of land is above everything else.

An acre of land may only earn a hundred guan a year, but a hundred years is ten thousand guan.

And hundreds of thousands of investment in exchange for more than [-] mu of land, but the money was earned back in more than ten years.

Just ten years, they can afford to wait.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the family, Li You also smiled.

Although he also knows the value of land, he knows the value of time better.

Although it seems that he took out these lands at a low price, it has accelerated the time of Datang's rise.

Li You felt that as long as he was given another ten years, the strength of the imperial court and the aristocratic family would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Perhaps the oath of the royal family and the family to rule the world will not change, but the decision-making power will definitely be firmly in the hands of the court.

In this way, the liquidation of the national war debt was on the right track, and those who were waiting to find loopholes to impeach Li You were disappointed in the end.

Yu Shi participated in every link, making those who wanted to say something shut up.

Things went smoothly, not only beyond the expectations of the aristocratic family, but also beyond Li Shimin's expectations.

Compared with these aristocratic families, Li Shimin had other guesses in his mind, but Li Shimin was more aware that this matter was actually arranged by the Shence Mansion or Li You behind the scenes.

Li Shimin was also amazed by Li You's boldness and carefulness.

However, just when Li Shimin was about to hand over more burdens to Li You, Li You reverted to his old ways.

For the entire two months, Li Shimin did not see Li You go to court, even if he occasionally met him at Concubine Yin's side, Li You still found an excuse to leave and escape.

Finally, after the winter of the second year of Zhenguan, Li You reappeared in the court.

During this time, Li You was not idle. He spent a lot of time with Duanmu Rong and Sun Simiao, studying Du Yan and Xue Rengui's mother's condition together.

However, even so, neither of these two people, Li You, was rescued.

Xue's mother's liver was severely damaged, and a simple resection would not have a good effect.

So although the operation was considered a success, Mother Xue only lived for less than a month after the operation.

Compared with Mother Xue, Du Yan's situation is even worse.

Du Yan was on the operating table as a last resort because of a sudden deterioration in his condition.

But once it went up, it never came down again.

Almost at the same time, news of Qu Tutong's death also came from Luoyang.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Li You was still very depressed in the face of such a result, no matter how Duanmu Rong and Sun Simiao advised him, he could not inspire his fighting spirit.

In the end, it was Xue Rengui who went out to persuade Li You, saying that the last days of Xue's mother's life were very fulfilling, which made him feel better.

But it was Du Ruhui who really woke up Li You.

When Du Ruhui was packing up Du Yan's belongings, he found Du Yan's notes.

The diary records a lot of Du Yan's expectations for the future, and a large part of them is related to the plan mentioned by Li You.

Seeing Du Yan still thinking about himself when he was dying, Li You was both moved and ashamed.

These veterans have dedicated their lives to the Tang Dynasty and the people, and they have truly done their best to die.

Looking at himself again, Li You was extremely ashamed.

After closing Du Yan's notes, Li You immediately summoned Liu Ji, Feng Shaoshi and others to discuss matters, and he was going to make up for the time delay.

However, the news brought by Master Feng caused Li You to fall into deep thought again.

"Western Turks are about to surrender!"

When Li You made the plan to disrupt the grassland, he divided the grassland into three forces.

The Jieli Khan of the East Turks, the Tong Yehu Khan of the West Turks, and the newly developed Xueyantuo Yinan Khan.

Now that the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Xue Yantuo also surrendered, and the only thing left on the Turkic grasslands was the Western Turks.

However, while the Tang Dynasty was at war with the Eastern Turks, there was no moment of peace in the Western Turkic Grasslands.

Tong Yehu Khan of the Western Turkic Khan was killed by his uncle.

Later, his uncle established himself as Mohe Dou Khan.

Still, this Mo Hedu was originally only a small khan, and he claimed to be a great khan, and the people of the country were not convinced.

After some entanglement, they elected the son of Tongyehu Khan as the Western Turkic Khan, who was Siyehu Khan.

Si Yehu and Mo Heduo attacked each other, and the battle continued.

Then, unknown to whom, the two proposed to the Tang royal family at the same time.

For such a request, Li Shimin naturally refused: "Your country is in turmoil, the monarch and ministers are not settled, and the war is endless, why should we talk about marriage!"

At the same time, they were also required to guard their jurisdiction and stop conquering each other.

Who would have thought that this order would spread to Western Turks, and the two men would really cease fighting.

Then, he sent an envoy to send the letter of surrender.

Mu Ni not only brought the letter of surrender, but also brought a huge problem to Li Shimin.
