Take the mall to Datang

This is the point that Du Ruhui wants to talk about today, which is to treat these captives as renting them out. Naturally, what the captives need is a bite of food, and their current situation does not allow them to have more demands.

If the 15 people are all used for labor, they can leave a lot of money for the court, and according to Du Ruhui's intention, these people can still earn money. Li Shimin is naturally willing to agree to such a good thing.

Captain Cangzhou was created by Yuan Shan, and even he has [-]% of the shares in it. Although he doesn't need to participate in the management, after hearing Du Ruhui's words, he was curious about how many people the shipyard needs, so he asked.

"How many people does Cangzhou Shipyard plan to employ?" Li Shimin asked.

"According to Yuan Shan, 3 people can be accommodated," Du Ruhui said.

"3 people?" Li Shimin was surprised that a shipyard needed 3 people to work, which was beyond his imagination.

Li Shimin then continued to ask: "Why do 3 people need so many people?"

"According to what I know, although Cangzhou is near the sea, it needs so many people to develop and build because it is located in the Northeast and because of years of wars, and as far as I know, the population of Cangzhou is not large. In fact, if you want to Most of the Turkic people can be placed in Youzhou and Cangzhou," Du Ruhui said.

At this time, Zhongshu ordered Wen Yanbo to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the area around Youzhou and Lingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and these captives are large and powerful, but it is easy for the governors of Shun, You, Hua, and Changzhou to be under the jurisdiction of the four prefectures. manage."

But before Wen Yanbo finished speaking, he continued: "Because I resettled the Turkic people, I should place them in one place, so as to ensure that their customs are gradually integrated."

Du Ruhui originally thought that Wen Yanbo agreed with his opinion, but he didn't expect that his idea was to arrange the whole thing and keep the customs. Du Ruhui suddenly worried that if this continues, it might take up a lot of the court's troops for jurisdiction.

Just when he was about to object, Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty thinks that the situation of the Turks is different from that of the Xiongnu in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is safest to disperse and resettle them. Du Shangshu's simple minister thinks it is better."

"Your Majesty, although the Turkic people are captives, the ultimate goal is to let them integrate into the society of the Tang Dynasty. I think it is inappropriate to repeatedly suppress the Turks." Wen Yanbo immediately explained.

Li Shimin understood as soon as he heard it, Du Ruhui was considering "benefits". Providing jobs to the Turkic people would not only allow them to give up their habits, but also seek some benefits for the court, but this approach is still a bit novel and not very humane. Moreover, management still requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Wen Yanbo considered it from the perspective of "integration". It is also very good to let Turkic people become a minority in Datang and integrate into the life of Datang. The evil deeds done by the people of the Tang Dynasty made him feel very unbalanced as an emperor. Wei Zheng still started from the word "stability" and scattered the Turkic people just like reorganizing the army. Climate can solve worries.

The ideas of the three of them, Li Shimin, felt that none of them were wrong and they were all very good. Suddenly Li Shimin found that he seemed to be a little embarrassed. In fact, he could arrange it in any way, but the "benefit" proposed by Du Ruhui was what he wanted to adopt, but it would be a bit hurtful. Behavior, and this matter has something to do with the Cangzhou Shipyard, you don't need to think about it to know that it must have something to do with that kid Yuan Shan.

While the court was discussing matters, suddenly a young eunuch came to deliver a message, and then Ma He whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "Your Majesty, Kaifuyi Tong Sansi Li Shentong passed away."

"Understood." After Li Shimin heard the news, his mood was instantly depressed, and the joy of victory seemed to be unable to calm his sadness. Li Shentong was his uncle who had made outstanding achievements in the Li family's clan, so when he lowered the clan's meritorious title Only Li Shentong is an exception.

In the past few years, Li Shentong has been in charge of the Li family's clan affairs, which can be said to be a great help to Li Shimin. Now the news of his untimely death made it difficult for Li Shimin to accept. Sitting silently on the dragon chair, the important officials in the palace felt very depressed. Although I don't know what happened in the atmosphere, I know that it will not be a good thing.

"My uncle Li Shentong passed away, and he gave it to Sikong posthumously, with the posthumous name of Jing. The eldest son, Li Daoyan, was named King of Jiaodong." Li Shimin said.

All the officials lamented that it was hard to say anything about this kind of thing. Li Shentong was also a first-rank official in charge of the Li family's clan. Kaifuyi and the third division were also treated as three princes. righteous.

Li Shimin's management of the clan is very strict, and the merits of the clan's entrustment are also limited. Unless there are special circumstances, he will not be crowned king. Originally, Li Shentong's eldest son was the Duke of Jiaodong County, and he was suddenly crowned king. This is also to appease the clan.

Li Shimin was very sad, a big reason was because of the clan affairs, he quickly calmed down and said: "I am very sad now, but as the king of a country, I can't continue to be so sad, let's continue the discussion."

The emperor's psychological quality is good, and he will control his emotions at critical times. Suddenly, someone came in to report to Ma He and passed the letter to Li Shimin. This is a letter from Li Jing. Li Shimin opened it and was overjoyed.

In the letter, it was written that Tang Jian, who was sent as an envoy to the Turkic lobby, escaped successfully when Li Jing attacked the Turkic tribe in Yinshan at night. All of a sudden, Tang Jian was a little caught off guard. Fortunately, he was fine.

Chapter 447

Just after reading a letter, Li Shimin told the news that Tang Jian was fine. All the ministers were very happy, and then another letter came. The continuous interruption of the court meeting made people feel helpless.

After Li Shimin read the newly delivered information, he asked Ma He to read it to this kind of person beside him.

After listening to the content of the letter, the ministers all exclaimed for a while. Empress Dowager Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao, who had lived in Turkic for 18 years, surrendered, and Princess Yicheng stubbornly resisted and was killed by Li Jing. Minister's heart.

This Princess Yicheng was originally a clan daughter who married Turkic in the Sui Dynasty. After Empress Xiao fled Turkic, the two lived together. Princess Yicheng is also a legendary woman. Why do you say that? Living in Turkic for 30 years Married to Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan in two years. From father to son, it can be said that "doing as the Romans do" is very thorough. The key is that Princess Yicheng is still a diehard, There is a big dispute with his sister-in-law Empress Xiao in his attitude towards Datang. Empress Xiao advocates peace while Princess Yicheng chooses to target Datang.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Princess Yicheng has such an attitude. After all, the princess is the real Yang. She is the last power in the Sui Dynasty. Empress Xiao is a widow. A person who can see the situation clearly knows that the Sui Dynasty is over like this. If she continues to fight against the Li family, there will be no good results. In addition, she has lived in Turkic for such a long time. Objectively speaking, she has already adapted to this kind of life. As she grows older, she naturally doesn't like to make troubles, and her greatest wish is to live.

In the past two years, the concern between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty has not been good, and because of the Turkic administration, various forces have been torn apart and civil strife continues.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yicheng is dead and the remnants of the Sui Dynasty can be wiped out. The matter of welcoming Empress Xiao back should be arranged as soon as possible to avoid accidents." Changsun Wuji said at this time.

"What Wuji said is not wrong, this matter must be dealt with immediately." Li Shimin said.

Empress Xiao's return to Chang'an is a major event. After Princess Yicheng was killed, the remnants of the Sui Dynasty who had been in Monan lost their support and their forces would be disintegrated. Empress Xiao's grandson, the "last bloodline" of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Zhengdao, was in his hands. After that, there will be no troubles.

Yuan Shan didn't know anything about the court affairs. When Du Ruhui returned to the Ministry of War, he announced that he could go home. This was Yuan Shan's happiest thing. It was really boring to stay in the Ministry of War for nearly a month.

After leaving the Ministry of War, I immediately found a "rich car" and went to the Hepingfang shop.

The business of the Hepingfang store is very good. The sweet drink Coke is not only sold in summer, but people will come to buy it all year round. The price of the diluted drink is relatively cheap.

Zhang San was entertaining guests outside, and when he saw his young master came back, he immediately ran over and said, "Master, you can be regarded as coming out, Madam will send someone to inquire about the young master every day."

"What happened?" Yuan Shan asked.

"The rich merchants' money has already been in place. How can such a large sum of money make people feel at ease? The young master is in the military department and his wife doesn't know how to deal with the money, so they send people over every day to inquire about the young master's news, but there are soldiers in the military department. Don't let people in, I heard that the prince didn't let in in the past." Zhang San said.

"That's right." Yuan Shan said casually.

The matter of the Cangzhou shipyard has only been finalized but has not yet been implemented. This is a problem with personnel. The imperial court told Li Shimin through the prince to send a few people from the Ministry of Economic Development to take charge. He was called before he saw anyone. I told the Ministry of War, so it must be worrying that there is no movement in this month.

"Prepare the car and I'll go back to the manor now." Yuan Shan said.

The carriages of the Yuan family became faster after several improvements, and everything returned to the manor as usual, but the big boxes piled up in the inner courtyard are very eye-catching. Now there are 1000 million coins piled up here, which is comparable to the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. A fraction of the tax.

Dugu Ruolan saw that the money was all in the range, so she went to Sizhu Garden to find Li Xiuning to borrow some female guards. Yuan Shan was stopped by the female guards before entering the inner courtyard.

Before Yuan Shan could speak, Cai Yi said beside him, "This is the master of the Yuan family, don't be rude."

Caiyi's aura was very strong. Although the female guard restrained her murderous aura after hearing this, she didn't immediately put down the sword in her hand and said, "Wait outside."

Then a female guard entered the inner courtyard, so Yuan Shan waited at the door for a while and saw Du Qianyu come out, seeing Yuan Shan rushed towards him, Yuan Shan naturally would not avoid such ambiguous behavior, but it was normal when Yuan Shan embraced When looking at Du Qianyu, he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

Du Qianyu was still wearing thin armor, but even if it was thin, it was very heavy. In addition to Du Qianyu's weight, Yuan Shan was almost thrown down. Fortunately, his movements were still sensitive, and he hugged Du Qianyu directly when he was hit. Qian Yu made a 360-degree turn, and this turn directly confused Du Qianyu, his face flushed red and his panting became uneven.

Caiyi was very envious when she saw it, but Yuanshan would not make out with Du Qianyu in front of so many female guards, but it is necessary to take advantage of it, and this is the meaning of Xiaobiesheng's newlyweds.

The female guards all stared straight at the gentle side shown by their female general, at this moment they heard someone coquettishly say: "Yo, I didn't expect Patriarch Yuan to be so open, it's really insightful to be unrestrained in public. .”

Du Qianyu blushed and immediately scolded: "Ning Luo, you damn girl, you dare to make fun of my husband, aren't you making fun of me?"

As the so-called three women played in one drama, Yuan Shan was also speechless and said that his manor was lively now, and he immediately understood that these people were hired by Dugu Ruolan to protect the money, and they did a good job out of safety awareness. Well, it's just that if Ning Luo is here, then Li Xiuning must be here too, but he really doesn't want to see Li Xiuning, such a mature and beautiful princess is very attractive, he is very afraid that one day he can't bear it and will make a mistake.

"Husband, you are back, Ruolan misses you very much." Dugu Ruolan came out and said.

"My husband also misses you very much." At this time, there were already a group of women surrounding him, so he was very cautious when speaking, "I miss you" This includes everyone in Yuanjiazhuang, such as Caiyi, Lan Lan and others Including this can be regarded as taking care of their mood.

"Husband, let's go into the house and talk, the princess is still waiting inside." Dugu Ruolan said.

In fact, Li Xiuning also wanted to come out to greet him, but if she went out out of etiquette, she would look like she was looking forward to Lang's return. How could she treat someone who is noble or has nothing to do with her as a princess?

In the yard, Yuan Shan saw a whole yard of boxes surrounded by tight handles of female guards, and he suddenly had the thought of pouring out all the money and piling it up into mountains.

Chapter 448 Start Spending Money

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Princess." After Yuan Shan saw the princess, he immediately performed the ceremony of a monarch and a minister. This scene was very well-behaved.
