Take the mall to Datang

"Yuanshan, what happened to the construction department of Lantian County?" Li Shimin asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, we are continuing." Yuan Shan said casually.

He didn't want to say much about this matter, because the current Lantian County is a mess, or in other words, it's a mess.

Guo Shouyi used vegetable greenhouses to receive 30 guan from Chang’an Money Bank, all of which were used as relocation expenses for the common people. A large amount of money was invested in the relocation speed is very thorough, and the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce wants to speed up the project. It was almost torn down.

The number of hired workers has expanded again to be responsible for house demolition, spending money like running water.

The construction speed of the construction materials chamber of commerce's engineering team was surprisingly fast. The buildings in the city were basically constructed of cement bricks, and the houses facing the street were at least three stories high, which saved a lot of space. Most of the residential areas were built into three-story buildings.

The newly built county government is also a three-story independent office and administrative area. The residential area, commercial area, storage area, agricultural area, and industrial area are all well allocated. The public facilities construction plan has not been left behind. Health, education, and medical care are all In planning.

"I'm really curious about what Lantian County will be built into," Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shan was a little speechless and said that curiosity is nothing but curiosity. If you want to inspect it, it is best not to choose a time when it is in a mess.

I thought Chaohui Mountain would disperse soon, but Li Shimin suddenly said: "The Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty many times, it's time to let them know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, and I decided to use troops against Tubo."

One word shocked the court.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui didn't say anything, and Yuan Shan knew that this must have been discussed in advance.

"I want to find a good general to use against Tubo this time. I don't know if you have any recommendations." Li Shimin said.

Just talking about why you were looking at me, Yuan Shan was a little bit embarrassed and really afraid that the emperor would just let him go because of convulsions, but he was thinking too much.

"Your Majesty's old minister is willing to fight for His Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty." Cheng Zhijie was the first to speak.

"Lu Guogong is careful about the safety of the Tang Dynasty, but Chang'an Suwei cannot do without you, it is better to choose a good general to fight against Tubo." Li Shimin said.

He clearly didn't want Cheng Zhijie to go, since they were old brothers, he didn't dislike Cheng Zhijie and recommended himself, but he wanted to train some young generals for this battle against Po Yuan.

Yuan Shan didn't participate in the battle in his heart, so he must use Li Jing. Wouldn't it be a waste to use such a strong commander?

But if he didn't say it, someone would say it, and soon several generals came forward and all recommended Li Jing who was an official at home.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Zheng came out and said, "Your Majesty's Minister of War is still missing a seat."

Wei Zheng came out to remind him that the post of Minister of the Ministry of War has not been appointed since Li Jingzhi became an official at home. How could there be no Minister of the Ministry of War for the use of troops against Tubo?

As soon as he heard the official position of Minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Shan thought of what Li Shimin said at the dinner party, and wondered if this was the important Hou Junji.

He didn't want to comment on Hou Junji. If he was a good official, he would get mixed up with the crown prince. He would be looking for a dead end. How many sons Lao Li had was reassuring.

However, although Wei Zheng reminded him, he did not recommend Hou Junji, and it was not suitable for him to be in the court. He was a civil servant, so what was the matter with recommending a general.

"Your Majesty recommends that Tubo go out this time, and the right servant shoots Yuanshan to lead the army." An official said.

"Your uncle, who mentioned my name at this time." Yuan Shan immediately had the urge to hit someone.

Just now I thought about something messy and didn't pay attention to it, but it turned out to be Du Ruhui, I was very depressed, I don't know why he is.

But it was quickly rejected, and Yuan Shan felt relieved, as if he was brushing up his sense of innocence again.

Then the chattering chaohui became chaotic again.

Recalling Li Junxian who met at the station back then, he said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Li Junxian, the governor of Lanzhou, is very brave, and I think it can be used."

"Li Junxian?" Li Shimin began to think when he heard Yuan Shan recommending generals.

Suddenly remembered, Li Junxian has been guarding the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, because of his meritorious service in attacking the Turks, he was promoted to General Zuowu Hou Zhonglang.

If Yuanshan didn't mention Li Shimin, he might be a little impressed, but not deeply.

"Li Junxian is a talent, and his bravery is extraordinary. Let him be a pioneer." Li Shimin said.

"Li Junxian, don't blame me. It's very risky to be a pioneer with good intentions, but the benefits are also very high. It depends on your luck." Yuan Shan has already regretted what he said at this time.

Chapter 688

After deliberation in the court, Li Shimin said: "Appoint Li Jing as the commander-in-chief of the Xikaidao march and all matters concerning the expedition to Tubo.

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the court hall returned to silence.

Hou Junji still became Minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Zheng was very satisfied but didn't show it.

"The expedition to Tibet is very costly. The Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Household Affairs will cooperate with the Ministry of Households to help the Ministry of Households raise supplies." Li Shimin continued.

Yuan Shan's eyelids twitched. After the meeting ended, he realized that Li Shimin had tricked him. He was a little messed up by the fact that there was even something about the Ministry of Economics and Development during the war.

The next day, officials from the Ministry of Economics and Development approached the Ministry of Economics and Development with the decree of the imperial court.

The simple answer is to let the goods under the name of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce be purchased by the Ministry of War at a cost-effective price, especially grain and pork. The clothes needed are all ordered from the Cotton Chamber of Commerce at a low price. preferential treatment.

When discussing procurement matters, Yuan Shan met Hou Junji. The new Minister of War, Hou Junji, was very serious and wanted to do everything by himself.

"Hou Shangshu, this thing is called Roujiamo. After it is made, it can be used as food. It can be eaten freely within two days. It can also be cut open in the middle and put into meat for eating. It tastes very delicious, and of course it will last for a long time. It is a bit dry, but the advantage is that it can last for three to five days without cooking. It is most suitable for scouts and other vanguard units to carry, and it is also suitable for large troops to use when they are in a hurry. If you need it, the Ministry of Economic Development can provide a large amount in Lanzhou. The buns can replenish food at any time." Yuan Shan introduced.

Yuan Shan felt that it was quick to enter. Although the purchases were at cost prices, it did not mean that he could not earn money from the court.

"Dry rations with the army can be stored for a long time to fully replenish the soldiers' physical strength. Roujiamo is a good food, as long as it is eaten with dried meat, it can ensure the physical strength of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. This is a must." Hou Junji said.

Yuan Shan didn't take it seriously and knew that this was the new minister trying to save face, but whoever has a grudge against money, the more the better, the more the better.

Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, was spending like crazy, but Li Jing's residence was much quieter.

"Husband Zhishi is at home and planned not to enter the court. Every time I go to concubine, I will worry about myself. Why don't I find an excuse to decline." Hong Funu said.

"Ma'am, don't worry, I've already talked with His Majesty. This expedition will mobilize an artillery battalion of the Beiya Imperial Army. There will be trains to transport supplies, supplies and logistical support. It's a smooth battle. Your Majesty's intentions are not easy to shirk." Li Jing Said.

Hongfu girl is not a little girl who doesn't know anything. After following Li Jing for many years, she has long been accustomed to life and death. The most free and easy people in the rivers and lakes. The key is that she believes in Li Jing's commanding ability. Cross branches.

When Li Jing came to the Ministry of War, all the officials went to prepare supplies, and there was no one in the Ministry of War, so they turned back and went directly to Chang'an West Station.

As soon as I arrived at the station, I saw a large number of soldiers surrounded here. The people didn’t pay much because they were used to it. If there is anything to see, there are Jinwu Guards outside. People who want to join in the fun will be warned. If it is considered intentional Get ready to eat in jail if you do something wrong.

"The last general, Hou Junji, has met Director Li." Hou Junji is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, but he still has to act like a younger brother when he sees Li Jing.

"How's the preparation going?" Li Jing asked.

"The train itinerary is being planned, and food, grass, soldiers and horses are being transported," Hou Junji said.

"Well, Tubo is located in a bitterly cold place, so we should prepare more warm clothes for the soldiers." Li Jing said.

"The last general has prepared cotton coats to ensure that the soldiers will fight in the cold." Hou Junji said.

Even though Hou Junji was Li Jing's student, Li Jing was very strict about military affairs, and Hou Junji knew very well that he also did it strictly according to the requirements.
