I have a backstage in Datang

How could Gu Tianya not know his thoughts? He couldn't help shaking his head helplessly when he heard the words, and said in a comforting voice: "Some things, if you miss it, you miss it. Although I really want you to go through the back door, I must guarantee that I will General Duan, let's not get tangled up in this matter."

Duan Zhixuan sighed again, looked at the auction table with reluctance, and murmured: "The seven magical medicines can guarantee that children will be free from disease and disaster. If I also bid for the sweet potato grain seed, wouldn't it be the same now?" You can get these medicines. With these medicines, you don’t have to worry about people getting sick on Zhuangzi. Once the children are free from illness and disaster, the population of Zhuangzi will definitely increase.”

There are two major problems in limiting population growth in this era.

First, there is not enough to eat.Second, it is very easy for young children to get sick.

But these two problems are exactly the opportunity that Gu Tianya sent tonight. Sweet potatoes are extremely high-yielding, which can ensure that the people are full, and the combination of seven kinds of medicines can prevent children from dying prematurely.

With these two things, population development is no longer difficult.

Seeing that he was depressed, Gu Tianya couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder again, and comforted him in a warm voice: "General Duan, don't act like a little girl. Although you missed the chance tonight, I, Gu Tianya, never hesitate to do things. Beat to death with a stick. As long as everyone is willing, these two things can still be obtained."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhixuan raised his head hastily, and even the surrounding officials all looked over.

Duan Zhixuan's voice was visibly trembling, "Gu...Brother Gu, do you mean we still have a chance?"

"Have!"

Without hesitation, Gu Tianya nodded solemnly at him.

It's a pity that he just nodded, but didn't say what the opportunity was.

Duan Zhixuan was very impatient, and couldn't help but want to speak again, but Li Shimin suddenly spoke up, saying with deep meaning: "I asked you to participate in the auction earlier, and you were all thinking about your own calculations. In the end, only Cheng Zhijie and the others The bids from several companies can be regarded as a kindness to Gu Tianya. These four companies have put in a lot of pressure to bid, and they must enjoy different treatment from others. And because of your hesitation, you have to pay a greater price."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I now know that I was wrong, and we are willing to pay the price, as long as we can be given a chance..."

"Since this is the case, then you just wait. When the opportunity comes, I hope you can fight for your family."

"Your Highness, what opportunity is it?"

"Merit!"

"Merit?" Duan Zhixuan was obviously taken aback.

But seeing Li Shimin with his hands behind his back, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the distance, he said leisurely: "Whether it's sweet potatoes, grain seeds, or seven kinds of medicines, if you don't participate in the auction tonight, if you want to get it, you have to get merit in exchange. Although the sweet potatoes and medicines belong to Gu Tianya, the price for this exchange is a rule set by me. Those who have meritorious service are eligible."

Only those with meritorious service are eligible.

But there is no war right now, where should meritorious deeds be built...

...the 1st update, followed by the 2nd update

Chapter 196 [Turkic people come, I have been waiting for you for a long time! 】

Gu Tianya glanced at Duan Zhixuan, patted him on the shoulder for the last time, and said in a low voice: "General Duan, I know that you are a strong general. So, you have a great chance of success."

Duan Zhixuan was puzzled, and couldn't help asking cautiously: "Our old Duan is not afraid of war, but we don't know where there is a war to fight. Brother Gu, can you tell us all about it..."

Seeing his anxious face, Gu Tianya pretended to lower his voice and hinted: "Turkic!"

He seemed to be lowering his voice, but in fact he knew that everyone around him was listening, so this was not a hint at all, but to reveal the news to everyone.

Duan Zhixuan was obviously taken aback, and everyone around him also looked hesitant, only a few people's eyes flashed, as if they had some enlightenment in their hearts.

Gu Tianya stopped talking, cupped his hands and gave a slight salute to everyone, then turned around and strode forward, chasing the back of Li Shimin who was going away.

Everyone in the back looked at each other, and they all saw the light in each other's eyes. After a long time, someone said in an extremely solemn tone, "Beat the Turks..."

His Highness and Gu Tianya seem to be planning a big event.

The Turks in this era are so powerful that they can be called the most powerful in the world.

……

Outside the Gu family village, next to the big river.

Li Shimin stood on the embankment with his hands behind his back, a sharp light flickered in his eyes.

Li Jiancheng, who looked like an old farmer next to him, was lying lazily on the riverbank, blowing the night wind, and said with a smile: "I can't walk away, but I stretched my neck for a handful of grass. Eat. This is profit, this is the human heart, Erlang, you must remember in the future, the way to govern the country is to govern the people first. Now be convinced, you lost the bet with Tianya again."

Li Shimin let out a breath slowly, and said with a disappointed face: "I really didn't expect that there were only four bids. I thought that at least half of them would change a little after they passed the three tests. Who knows, it's still the same as before. They all want to make a profit, and they don't want to suffer a big loss. It is a good thing to develop the population, but they want to buy cheap sweet potato seeds in three years..."

Gu Tianya chuckled, and said lightly: "This is the human heart. Since ancient times, people have chosen Yi to take refuge. I told you before, but you always feel dissatisfied."

Li Shimin glared at him and said angrily, "Are you proud of winning the bet now?"

Gu Tianya glanced at his mouth, knowing that this guy was out of embarrassment.

He bent down to pick up a stone from the ground, and threw it towards the bottom of the river embankment. The stone made a series of splashes on the water surface and passed far away.

After he finished swimming, he clapped his hands and said lazily: "It's getting late, I'm going home, you two should go back to sleep early, the baby will be baptized tomorrow... I said, second brother, can you You can’t keep your face away, as if I’m to blame for losing the bet.”

Li Shimin grumbled twice, and said angrily: "If you get a cheap price, you'll be a good boy. This bet is off."

Gu Tianya chuckled, turned his head to look at Li Jiancheng who was lying on the ground, and complained: "Brother, do you see that our future emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to turn his back on him?"

With a helpless expression on his face, Li Jiancheng waved at the two of them, and comforted him, "They're both brothers of my own family. Are you two at odds? Don't pinch as soon as you meet. If you pinch for a long time, it will easily damage the family relationship."

When the elder brother spoke, both of them had to obey. Li Shimin glanced at Gu Tianya, then calmed down and said, "Don't be in a hurry to go home, let's accompany elder brother to enjoy the cool."

Gu Tianya also took a look at him, and said with a smile, "I don't think you want to enjoy the cool, but you want to ask me how my preparations are going?"

Li Shimin didn't shy away, nodded and said, "I do have concerns about this."

As he spoke, he walked up to Li Jiancheng, imitating Li Jiancheng and laying on the embankment, then looked at Gu Tianya, and said sarcastically, "Do you want me to invite you?"

Gu Tianya rolled his eyes, walked over and lay down on the embankment, although he also lay down, but muttered something in his mouth, "It's getting late, I have to go home early."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Let's talk before we go."

The three brothers lay reclining with their arms on their pillows, looking up at the countless stars in the night sky, the sound of insects in the surrounding green grass, and the bright moon in the sky like a jade plate.

After a long time, Li Shimin said: "It's the August festival in the Central Plains, and the north has already been frosty. According to the reports from the spies on the grassland, this year seems to be colder than previous years."

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "The Turkic people don't do production, and they will plunder when they encounter cold disasters. This year's weather is bad, and they will definitely send troops to the south."

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a smile, "Come on, come early, good morning. After this battle is over, I can finally free up my mind to farm."

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, and said: "Luo Yi, the king of Yan, sent me a letter from Feiqin, saying that he had started a rebellion according to the agreement, and deliberately made it so loud that Liang Guo's spies got the news of his rebellion. The banner he played is very It is deceptive, saying that he wants to kill Erlang to avenge me..."

He paused while talking, and then said: "Liang Shidu is a generation of heroes, and the master behind it is Turkic. After this person hears the news of Luo Yi's rebellion, he will definitely encourage the Turkic people to go south. When the Turkic people see Luo Yi's rebellion , will definitely be tricked, after all, Erlang and I have created a Xuanwu Sect, and anyone would think that the current situation of Datang is unstable."

After Gu Tianya listened quietly, he breathed out again slowly, and said: "I just now know that your Li family is worthy of being a family that can take over the world. There is a ring. If I were a Turkic Khan, I'm afraid I would also be tricked and go south."

Li Shimin stood up, looked at Gu Tianya and said, "Don't keep talking strange things, how are your preparations going?"

Gu Tianya didn't answer, but instead asked him: "What about you? How are you preparing? Don't let my army go out, but you hide behind and only take advantage of it."

Li Shimin's face was furious, and he said angrily: "The purpose of me leading a hundred officials here this time is to give outsiders the feeling that this is an opportunity to kill me. So I can't lead the army here, do I need to explain this matter?" ?”

Gu Tianya heyed twice, and asked again: "Then you must be prepared before you leave."

This time Li Shimin was a little satisfied, and said: "Five thousand black armored cavalry have been quietly hiding in Daizhou. There are another [-] infantry, and now they have crossed the river."

The Milky Way is the Yellow River of later generations.

After he finished talking about his troop deployment, he looked at Gu Tianya who was lazily lying on the ground, and frowned, "What about your side? Do you have any special arrangements?"

It seemed that Gu Tianya's military ability was not at ease, so he couldn't help but said: "Xiu Ning needs confinement and cannot command the Women's Army to fight. If you feel that you are not capable enough, you can hand over the military power to me first."

After finishing speaking, he felt that these words might hurt Gu Tianya's heart. After all, the two parties had agreed to return the military power of the Women's Army. It was easy for him to say that it was a rush, so he quickly said again: "I'm not I am in a hurry to get back the military power, but I will help you take charge of it for the time being. After this battle is over, it will not be too late for our two families to transfer the military power slowly."

Gu Tianya laughed and said, "Second brother, you don't need to worry, I'm not a narrow-minded person."

Li Shimin became a little excited, and said: "So, I can take over the military power of the Women's Army?"

The Women's Army is a frontier army, and its combat power is stronger than his Tiance Army. This guy is a militant and has always been eager to command the Women's Army once.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya slowly shook his head and said with a smile, "No way!"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

But Gu Tianya also stood up, staring at a certain direction with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Of the 20 women's army, 15 need to be stationed in various parts of Hebei Province. In addition to the 15, the other [-] have already sharpened their swords, and are always ready to give the Turks a ruthless blow."

Li Shimin's tone became curious, and said: "This is just the regular force of the Women's Army, but I know that you and Xiuning have developed an iron cavalry. What about the iron cavalry? Aren't you going to use it?"

Gu Tianya laughed badly and said, "I won't tell you."

Li Shimin's face bulged with anger.

Seeing the two brothers arguing, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but sat up from the ground with a smile, and comforted Li Shimin, saying: "Tianya is deliberately trying to anger you, Erlang, don't fall into his trap."

Li Shimin snorted and said stubbornly, "I don't know how to do it."

After the dead duck's mouth was hardened, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, looked at Gu Tianya again with rolling eyes, and asked, "Tell me, how did you arrange that iron cavalry?"

Gu Tianya stopped holding him back, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point to the northwest direction, and said leisurely: "Three thousand iron cavalry have been dispatched, led by Ma Sanbao, accompanied by my sister, this cavalry is hidden on the border of Yunzhou, ready to release The Turkic people enter the pass, and then they will do it."

Li Shimin is such a character, he immediately heard the profound meaning, his eyes flashed and he said: "You want to close the door and beat the dog?"

Gu Tianya chuckled and said, "I want to keep the Turkic steers."

Li Shimin was stunned by these words, and then he wanted to understand Gu Tianya's intentions. His breathing became heavy immediately, and he couldn't help saying: "You have to repeat the old trick again, and you want the Turkic steer, Gu Tianya, this time We can share the spoils, you can't monopolize it like last time, otherwise, otherwise I will turn my face..."

Next to him, Li Jiancheng stretched out his hand, tapped his forehead, and scolded: "You are the second brother, how can you talk to your brother-in-law like that."

Li Shimin's face twitched, and he said resentfully: "This time it's not like last time, this time the Turks are going south."

The implication is self-evident that the bullocks brought by the Turks this time are far from comparable to last time.

How could Gu Tianya not know what he meant, and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, I can't swallow such a large amount of wealth. This battle is a country-to-country war, and the main force must be your Li family's military strength. For relatives, just follow behind to grab a sip of soup, no matter whether it is a bullock or a Turkic horse, I only need to do three things, and the rest will be yours."

Li Shimin was a little surprised, looked at him with disbelief and said, "You are so generous?"

Gu Tianya rolled his eyes and said, "I've always been so generous."

Li Shimin sneered.

Gu Tianya stopped talking to him, stood up slowly from the ground, and said: "It's getting late, I have to go home and see the baby. You two remember to get up early tomorrow, the uncle will baptize the baby .”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also stood up, nodded and smiled together: "Just taking advantage of the opportunity of the Turks going south, we will fight a battle and give the children some generous gifts."

Gu Tianya bowed his hands and said sincerely, "I have thanked the two uncles for the child."

The brothers parted ways, each heading towards their resting place.

A bright moon in the sky has seen this deep family affection.

They had already received a report two days ago, and the Turks had already sounded the clarion call of the tribal alliance. This time, the full-moon baptism of the tiger cub was their trap for the Turks.

Come on, come early and good morning.

Chapter 197 [The trivial things before the war, life may be ordinary]

In fact, it was not too late at this time, and it was at most nine o'clock in the evening when converted into future generations.At this point in time, it's really not too late.

If it is really left in later generations, this is the time when the waves will fly.

For example, the bathing center must be brightly lit at this time, such as the hair salon on the street, it must be warm like home at this time, if you accidentally enter some small alleys, there will be some beautiful ladies and sisters looking at you tenderly, when you feel a little moved , the young lady will immediately wave happily and shout: "Boss, come and play~"

Meeting by chance, yet being so gentle, and the night wind so cold, how can I bear to watch my young lady standing in the night wind, I must do my best to let the young ladies finish work early, right?

It's a pity that this is a later life of feasting and feasting, so nine o'clock in the evening is not considered late.

But in the current Tang Dynasty, Haishi (9pm to 11pm) is definitely late at night.

It is late at night, and I should return home.

……

There was a bright moon in the sky, and the sky and the earth were silvery white. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, Gu Tianya hurried back home.

According to the rules of this era, he returned home late.

So the old lady was already blocking the door, with a little dissatisfaction on her face, she said slightly complaining: "Why is it so late?"

Gu Tianya bowed slightly, and explained cautiously: "I have a lot of things tonight, so I'm a little busy. After I finished my work, I chatted with my elder brother and my second brother for a while. Therefore, I came back a little late..."

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe, looked into the yard from afar, with a flattering smile on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Is the baby asleep?"

"No! The little guy is energetic at night. He is tossing around now, and he will have a meal later."

"Then let me go in and have a look?"
