.........

In the entire courtyard of the Shu Mansion, only Shu An's faintly resounding words were left, and following these words, a scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty seemed to appear in everyone's minds.

......

Just as Li Shimin was asking Shu An for advice, something about Shu An also happened in the court.

That was when Empress Changsun received the three mother and daughter who had returned from Lizhou, she couldn't help but nodded when she saw Wu Shun's well-behaved appearance.

On the other side, the faces of the Yang mother and daughter were very disturbed. Even though Empress Changsun didn't have much power, the dignity that had been on her for a long time still made them feel the gap.

After seeing the ceremony, Empress Changsun looked at the three people in front of her with a lot of interest, of course her main attention was still on Wu Shun.

After all, she was born in Wufu, in order to enter the palace, Yang Shi gritted her teeth and bought a piece of clothing. You must know that the money Yang brought back from Lizhou was not much.

He even sold a lot of the previous dowry, but it was worth it for the sake of the two daughters.

It was enough for the Yang family to feel that Empress Changsun was very satisfied with Wushun. They had to know that in Chang'an they could rely on this empress.

Now that the master's words are far away in Lizhou, it can't help. As for the people who were ministers of the same dynasty in the past, they basically left their tea.

As for the two girls, one big and one young, they stood aside respectfully, but Empress Changsun beckoned Wushun with one hand.

When the little girl saw the eldest grandson empress approaching, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and couldn't help but look at her mother.

At this time, Yang's complexion was very joyful, and she couldn't help but nodded cautiously. You must know that the meaning of such an intimate move by Empress Changsun is different.

Empress Changsun held Wu Shun's little hand, and then the voice sounded slowly.

"Yafu has always been simple, don't waste extravagance when you go to serve."

"Also, Yafu often does some seemingly strange things, but you just have to abide by them, maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

......

Memories of this sub-father came to the mind of Empress Changsun one by one.

About this sub-father's dislikes and likes, as well as his schedule, he said it out one by one.

The little girl nodded with a trace of seriousness on her face, remembering everything the queen explained.

On the other side, Yang's smile deepened when he watched this scene, because it was obvious that the little girl was taken by the queen.

There is also the deep affection between father and daughter of Anxuan, the queen could not hide the smile on her face while talking.

Sure enough, the rumors are credible. You must know that even the Yang family has never met An Xuangong, and the only thing he knows is that he is not young.

However, in this era, age is not the focus of attention at all. Although it is only a maid, it is not bad.

Empress Changsun did not leave the mother and daughter behind after explaining the matter, the main reason was that she was a little tired.

The original idea of ​​keeping a few people dissipated. After all, if you count the time, there are only two or three months left before the child speaks out.

Chapter 3 determination, waiting

In the imperial study room, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, obviously he had already made a decision in his heart.

After returning from Yafu, Li Shimin stayed here again. It can be said that Yafu's words left him too much shock.

Especially with the strategy of fighting to support war, even Li Shimin has a lot of heartbeats in his heart.

"The current Datang is certainly strong, but that was only when you were alive."

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch? If these foreign races around have the ability to subvert Datang, they will not be soft."

"Could it be that one day you will leave these things to future generations, and even at that time, you will no longer be in Huaxia, which is named after the Tang Dynasty."

These last few short sentences made Li Shimin remember, even now he can still clearly remember every expression that Yafu said at that time.

There seemed to be a lot of sighs, as if he saw the distant future. It was for this reason that Li Shimin finally made up his mind.

This is a decision that determines the fate of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin finally strengthened his heart.

"Yafu's method is feasible, and I can't lag behind either!"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and whispered softly, he also believed that these ministers had a lot of inspiration.

In fact, it wasn't just Li Shimin who was thinking, these important ministers were also thinking about Shu An's words.

Duke Zhao's Mansion

Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered. He was opposed to this matter from the beginning, after all, it was a national policy formulated from the beginning.

Rest and recuperate, don't use weapons easily, after all, it took a few years to settle down with great difficulty.

However, facing the words of this teacher, it is really attractive, at least it is of great benefit to the entire Tang Dynasty.

And Changsun Wuji also saw a lot of benefits from it, after all, his teacher once talked about many novel things in foreign lands.

Everything in it is an industry, not to mention these, just planting rice in the Annan circle is enough to harvest a lot of food.

Even if the price of food drops sharply by then, there will still be a lot of profits, so Changsun Wuji naturally wants to intervene.

The most important thing is that as someone who knows His Majesty well, the eldest grandson knows that His Majesty will definitely not miss this opportunity.

This is the time when Datang has the best chance to become the central country, and it is also the first time Changsun Wuji heard this concept from his teacher before.

Civil and martial arts are flourishing, and there is a steady stream of younger generations coming out, the only chance is this time, the eldest grandson Wuji even guessed that this teacher's eyes seemed to see through the future.

You must know that there were many people who didn't trust their teacher's words in the past, and later they all confirmed the correctness of their teacher's words.

It was for this reason that the one who changed his position the fastest among the crowd was Changsun Wuji, who was more decisive than Li Shimin.

He has even started to think about his future interests. In the eyes of Changsun Wuji, this Annan is already the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Although there is no hatred, this world is a world where the weak are prey to the strong, so Changsun Wuji doesn't have much burden at all.

At the same time, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, a pair of friends, were also thinking together. Compared to Du Ruhui's silence, Fang Xuanling still favored the previous thoughts.

It's just that Fang Xuanling sighed at the end. Although he had a lot of objections, he also knew that the general situation was over, at least his own opinion was no longer important.

After Anxuangong's remark, whether it is His Majesty, his good friend, or Changsun Wuji, the inner fairy law must have changed.

As for the original generals, let alone those generals, they were the ones who were most excited about establishing a country with martial arts.

Du Ruhui on the other side also had a complicated heart, but compared to this friend, Du Ruhui was much more decisive.

After hesitating for a while, Du Ruhui still chose to trust his teacher, the reason is very simple, his teacher did not miss it.

Even he can't see clearly how Datang will go, but Datang will definitely get better and better.

Just like what the teacher said, once the war starts, Datang must take back more things.

Many people in Chang'an did not have a good day and night, even the generals.

The generals who can follow Li Shimin's side are naturally confidantes. After hearing and seeing, they know the meaning of this time better.

It is related to their future status. It is necessary to know that the status of generals will be highlighted except when the country is founded or when foreign enemies invade.

However, in ordinary times, they can't compare with these literati. After all, if a general has no military achievements, even if he has been around for 20 years, he is at most a school lieutenant.

It is not at all possible to step into the court. In comparison, it is not difficult for a literati to step into the court for 20 years.

Even for the existence of some outstanding ability, ten years is enough, and even become a person with authority.

The military commander has basically worn away the gully in his heart for 20 years, and his physical strength also began to decline in a few years.

If this is the case, they will retire in a few years. It can be said that these generals naturally want to make military achievements. Of course, apart from themselves, they also want to pave the way for their heirs.

After all, in addition to his own son, there are many heirs, who might be able to share a title.

It doesn't make sense that some of their heirs would lose to those warriors from ordinary people, so it is natural to pay attention to this matter.

While Chang'an was waiting for the emperor to make a final decision, Shu'an in the Shu residence was very leisurely.

With the companionship of his disciples and the settlement of one matter, he is naturally very satisfied. As for Li Shimin's choice, he is not concerned at all.

"Teacher, will Datang choose the path you mentioned?"

Li Xiuning's eyes flickered with hesitation and he said, with a hint of expectation in his words.

Ping Yang, who was born in the army, was looking forward to realizing what her teacher said, but it was a pity that after returning to Chang'an, the battlefield had little to do with her.

This time, even she didn't expect her teacher to have such a big plan, and even she was quite shocked.

"Yes, for sure!"

Facing this disciple's question, Shu An's words this time were an affirmative answer.

From the moment Li Shimin came to Shu Mansion, Shu An knew Li Shimin's choice, but after Li Shimin left, he had already affirmed Li Shimin's final choice.

Of course, Shu An also sighed slightly, because there were too many people and things involved in this matter, and time was also a problem.

I don't know if he has the chance to live until the Tang Dynasty conquered Asia, but the surrounding environment of China in later generations is not so good.

3 Ten chapters once thought, the first step

It can be said that back in this era, Shu An naturally had the idea of ​​riding a horse to the south of the city and whipping the Yalu River.

However, as his age gradually passed away, this idea was somewhat impossible to realize, and he could only rely on Li Shimin to realize it.

Annan is also Vietnam. On the Indochina Peninsula, it is easy to achieve a goal, but it is not so easy for the Yalu River.

Because there are still many foreign races in Liaodong, the Northeast is not so peaceful now, but it is a pity that if he is 20 years younger, he will not be so anxious.

On the other side, Li Xiuning nodded with a hint of emotion on her face when she heard her teacher's words, and she also felt the sigh in her teacher's words.

For a moment, Li Xiuning seemed to think of something, and there was a gloomy look in her eyes. When she came back this time, she found that her teacher was much older.

After thinking of this, Li Xiuning hesitated in her heart, but in the end she didn't know how to speak.

"Don't worry about Xiuning, Shimin will take care of everything."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, with a hint of concern in his words, don't underestimate Li Shimin and these important officials.

As long as he proposes a direction is enough, how to do it, these people will definitely be prepared.

..........

On the second day at the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin's court meeting, which had been suspended for a few days, returned to the court hall. At this time, Li Shimin's face carried a trace of confidence that belonged to the emperor.

There was a hint of emotion on the faces of those who knew some inside information. They knew that the emperor must have made a decision.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers present, took a deep breath, and said something slowly.

"I once asked myself how the Great Tang came."

"It's all accumulated with the lives of countless soldiers, and I often can't sleep at night."

"Several generals even responded to me that Erlang, who worked for Datang, could not even eat meat once a year."

"For this reason, I am heartbroken. I have made a mistake at this time. Since I am wrong, I must make up for it."

........

Li Shimin's voice spread to every courtier's ears, but those who knew the inside story of this matter knew it was a signal.

That is to increase the food expenses of the soldiers. It can be said that this is the first step. Even if the land of Annan is won, then what can abandon the military system.

You must know that although there are many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, more than half of them were recruited by the Fubing system. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers must be far inferior to those of the regular soldiers.

So the first thing Li Shimin has to do is to improve the treatment of these soldiers, so that more young and strong will join the army.

And as Li Shimin's words sounded, the one with the most bitter expression was Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The reason is very simple, that is, the issue of money.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and this matter needs careful discussion!"

Dai Zhou gritted his teeth, and hurriedly stood up and said after Li Shimin's voice had not completely fallen.

"Where did the money from the city tax go?"

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a difficult expression on his face. It wasn't because the city tax increased a lot of money in the national treasury. Logically speaking, even if he spent a lot of money to buy food, there should be some surplus.

Although Li Shimin tried his best not to get angry in ordinary words, once he got angry, it meant that the matter was serious.

It's not just Li Shimin, many generals in the court at this time who are from the state are staring closely at this Minister of the Household Department, and even glaring.

You must know that it was hard for them to make this majesty increase military expenditures, but now they tell them that they have no money.

"Your Majesty, the fees reported in the state newspapers this year have increased a lot."

Dai Zhou said with a bitter expression on his face, and last year, many colleagues from Daozhou had written letters.

After accumulating to Jing Nian, it is natural to have to approve it when you have money. The key is that every compendium is well-founded, and even he can't find any problems.
