Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 266 Meet the Apprentice

As Li Shimin walked down, more than 20 senior Tang officials also surrounded him.

"Hey!" As the box opened, the sound of a group of dental sticks breathing in pain came.

Boxes full of white jade appeared in front of everyone, shining softly under the light, and even the guards relaxed their hands and feet carefully.

Everyone has seen one or two boxes of jewels and jade, and dozens of boxes are placed in front of them at the same time, and they are so big and so good, even the treasure house of the Tang Dynasty has never seen them.

"This is the best batch, and they were all selected for His Majesty. Because there was no time, they were just a hole and needed polishing." Situ Changfeng explained.

"A small country in the Western Regions is so rich?" Changsun Wuji thought it was because he occupied Xicheng, the capital, so he asked in surprise.

"This is a jade mine that the lower official accidentally found!" Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"Chi!" Many people felt their teeth hurt even more when they heard this.

"This... so much mining in such a short period of time, how much is it in that year!" Zuo Pu She Xiaoyu asked everyone's aspirations, and even Li Shimin stared at him brightly.

"Your Majesty! Lords! This batch of jade was washed down the mountain by floods for thousands of years, so there is no need to mine it, just to pick it.

In the future, it will be very slow to detect the direction of the ore veins, mine, and transport. Moreover, it is located in the Western Region, and it will not be a matter of time to transport it back. " Situ Changfeng explained.

"That's fine, since it's a mineral vein, of course it should be mined slowly, and the water will flow slowly to make it look precious!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said.

"The ten carts of goods in Xuanling's mansion should also be jade!" Du Ruhui vaguely felt that Situ Changfeng was making such a fuss because of ulterior motives, so he simply cooperated.

"Is there one in my house too?" Fang Xuanling said unexpectedly.

"That's right, everyone who went on this expedition, including the soldiers, was given in the name of His Majesty. Yiai not only killed countless enemies and made great achievements, but also stayed behind to guard the capital this time, so the second brother Du He Bring back his share." Situ Changfeng explained.

"Guarding the capital?" Fang Xuanling didn't care about jade, but was slightly worried about his son.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang! Not only does Du Xi have Yiai, but he also has Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo to take care of him. Moreover, Yiai is now a master at the pinnacle of the prefecture level, so he still has the ability to protect himself." Situ Changfeng quickly comforted him.

"Yi Ai can take on the great responsibility! Thank you, nephew!" Fang Xuanling also knew that Situ Changfeng would not frame his son, so he figured it out after a second thought, sighed, and saluted Situ Changfeng!
"Uncle Zhesha, little nephew, it's a good thing that Yiai has the ability to contribute to the country, and it's his own efforts!" Situ Changfeng hurriedly avoided.

Fang Xuanling didn't speak, but nodded gratefully to Situ Changfeng.

"Marquis of Yizhou! Is it inappropriate for you to carve up the jade mine without permission! All of this should be handed over to the imperial court and rewarded by His Majesty!" Wang Gui took an eyedrop seriously.

"Who is this?" Situ Changfeng asked pretending not to know him.

"This is Yongning County Duke, Wang Gui, Mr. Wang." Everyone was watching how Situ Changfeng answered. This was also a test of his political acumen, so Fang Xuanling smiled and introduced him.

"Young Master Yongning, right? There are two reasons for this! First, the jade is not from Duxicheng, and it is not counted as a harvest from the encirclement and suppression of the Turks; second, the jade mining area is currently not inferior to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But because we are all servants of His Majesty, everyone discussed and decided that [-]% of the jade mine production will be dedicated to the queen, and [-]% will be used to comfort the soldiers leading to the Western Regions and guarding the west of the capital. "Situ Changfeng said lightly.

"Okay! Let's do this! Ai Qings, step down! Situ Aiqing stay!" Li Shimin was very satisfied that he could get [-]% without any effort.

After all, this is not a place within the Tang Dynasty, and only [-]% to [-]% of the ores mined from other aristocratic families' sites are turned over.

"Ai Qing's letter said that there is an important matter to be interviewed?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty! Little Turkic Khan Ashina Ni, for the sake of cooperation, exchanged an important message. The Yang family and East Turkic have already colluded with each other, with evil intentions!" Seeing that the guards were far away, Situ Changfeng said in a low voice.

"Well! I already know about this! Sizi is six years old this year, since you are back, teach her well." Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said without any change in expression.

"I will do my best!" Situ Changfeng couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of that frail, thin, but very cute child.

"Very good! My son has repeated it many times, which makes me a little envious, let's go, and take a look!" Li Shimin waved.

The two slowly walked towards Lizheng Palace. Along the way, Li Shimin listened carefully to the details of the Yizhou War.Although it was mentioned in the battle report, I still heard someone say it in more detail.

Li Shimin himself knew soldiers very well. After listening to this, he praised Situ Changfeng very much, saying that he would not be able to do this step by himself, after all, there were too few soldiers available under his command.

If he didn't use tactics, he would be dragged to death by the Turks sooner or later. There was only one way to break through, and he couldn't think of a fire attack.

Situ Changfeng directly agreed to the Western Turks' invitation, and Li Shimin also agreed very much. Firstly, Datang had no spare power to attack, and secondly, the real benefits had already been obtained.

Datang is now a civil and military division, which means that the military and the government are separated, especially outside of Chang'an, the military does not care about the government, the government does not care about the army, and local affairs are handled by the county guards and county magistrates, while wars are handled by local officials. The general decided with one word.

Like the Martial Arts Academy, it is entirely the generals faction that has the right to speak, and the civil servants naturally have the corresponding Tai Academy, Guozijian.

Only in the court, whether it is military or political, the bigwigs of both sides can speak, but the two sides also have a tacit understanding.

Unless Li Shimin asks, he will not take the initiative to speak up and say things that are not from his faction.

"Father!" Sizi saw Li Shimin, and threw himself into his arms.

"Master!" Just as Li Shimin was very happy, Xiao Si found Situ Changfeng who was following him.

"Hehe! The scorpion is firm! Hmm! It's even more beautiful!" Situ Changfeng praised with a smile.

"Master, didn't you bring a gift for Situ?" Seeing that Situ Changfeng came empty-handed, Sizi couldn't help asking with his head tilted.

"Uh! Of course I brought a gift to Si Zi!" Situ Changfeng said quickly.

"Really? Show Sizi the gift!" Xiao Sizi asked excitedly.

"This is what the master found specially for you. It's called the Nine Turns Golden Pill. After Sizi eats it, he will be completely healthy and can go out to play in winter." Situ Changfeng took out the last golden pill and said.
