Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin suddenly got up, held up his wine glass, looked around, and said with a smile.

"This personal conquest can destroy Goguryeo, it all depends on all the lovers, I respect all the lovers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All civil and military officials raised their glasses and drank freely.

"Li Shiji is unparalleled in bravery. With [-] soldiers and more than [-] bandit troops, he chased him for hundreds of miles and captured the leader of the bandit, Gao Yanshou. All my lovers and I respectfully offer a cup to the general!"

"The general is brave~"

Civil and military officials drink another cup.

Li Shiji said with some regret: "I am ashamed to say that I failed to capture that Yang Wanchun."

"..."

After a toast, all civil and military officials were drunk.

During the celebration in the palace, the people of Chang'an City also cheered and jumped for the news of the victory.

There is even a family that has not reported hope for more than [-] years, and now finally received a letter from his father. The family reunion is beautiful and warm when reading the letter from home.

What's more, they bring their wives and daughters back home, and there is a scene of reunion and joy of a loving father and a filial son.

For a moment, it seemed that all the sadness dissipated, and the whole Chang'an was immersed in the ocean of joy.

----

in a few days.Chaohui.

Li Shimin sat on the long-lost dragon chair, the chairs beside him had been removed, and Li Tai also returned to the queue below.

"I see Your Majesty." All civil and military officials saluted together.

Li Shimin glanced across all civil and military officials, showing a mysterious smile.

"The anti-Tang alliance formed by Goguryeo, Baekje, Buyeo, and Wa has been shattered.

Now the city of Goguryeo is the Great Tang Dynasty, and I have seized a lot of gold and silver.

Most of the spoils this time will be included in the national treasury, and I will also give some rewards to those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. "

As soon as the words fell, all civil and military officials whispered and exchanged smiling eyes.

"I heard that the gold and silver seized this time piled up into mountains, and not even a warship could hold them!"

"Impossible, a place as big as Goryeo cannot be accommodated by warships, how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible? Goryeo is also a big country with millions of households. In addition, the five tribes have ruled for so long. How could there be no such gold and silver?"

The amount of gold and silver is probably only known to Li Shimin and a few people, but what we can know is that Goryeo is really rich and can support 60 troops, and the military pay alone is scary.

"Ahem." Li Shimin coughed and interrupted everyone's discussion, and said, "Besides, I plan to implement a state-owned system of land and a stepped tax system. What do you think?"

Although it was a question, the tone was undeniable, because he had tried these two systems in Pyongyang City, and the effect was surprisingly good.

It is blunt to say that not only the living people in Pyongyang City have become Datang people, but even the living Koreans want to classify their dead ancestors as Datang people.

That's why Li Shimin couldn't wait to implement it.

But the civil and military officials pondered at this moment, this is the routine of giving a sweet date and then a stick.

Although they had already had this premonition, the defeat was too fast, and everyone was selling the land, so they couldn't sell it in such a short time.

Chu Suiliang looked at Changsun Wuji, hesitated to speak, and urged him again and again, beckoning him to come forward.

But Changsun Wuji ignored it, and even simply turned his eyes away to pretend he didn't see it, but sneered silently in his heart.

Ever since he met Wan Pao Qi, he never had such a silly idea.

Seeing that neither of them was moving, all civil and military officials looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, no one stood up and said no.

After a while.

Li Shimin scanned the crowd of civil and military officials, saw that no one objected, and announced: "In this case, these two volumes will be included in the national policy, and will be implemented after the autumn harvest."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Changsun Wuji hastily stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty is holy," the civil and military officials said hastily.

"Ai Qingqing, please get up!"

The smiles in the corners of Li Shimin's eyes almost showed, he finally solved a major matter, feeling relaxed, he asked Li Tai.

"During the time I'm not here, how about the crown prince governing the government? All the lovers will report the recent situation one by one, don't worry about it, you will come first."

After all, he directly clicked on the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The officials who were ordered went out directly and said: "Report to Your Majesty.

According to statistics, with the Shenli and Tianche, the people of Tang Dynasty have cultivated more land than in previous years, and with the introduction of pesticides, the pests in the fields have decreased.

It can be inferred from this that this year is a year of great abundance. "

"Okay, what a year of great abundance." Li Shimin was very satisfied. The people could have a good harvest and there would be no famine and pests. The world would be stable.

"How about the frontier defense over there?"

Li Jing stood up and reported with some headaches: "The Xue Yantuo tribe heard about His Majesty's personal conquest, and it seems that they are determined to harass the north frequently, which is very grand."

Chapter 205 Three-year Construction of Cement

Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he cursed angrily.

"Xue Yantuo, this Xue Yantuo tribe again, is really a barbarian who doesn't believe what he says!

When I am free, all men from other tribes will be servants and all women will be slaves. "

When Jieli Khan ruled the Turks, the Xueyantuo tribe couldn't stand the oppression and went to the Tang Dynasty directly.

When the Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo had an idea, and coupled with the agitation of Goguryeo before, he frequently harassed him.

However, Li Shimin's previous policy for this kind of surrender was to treat this kind of surrender equally, and such a disturbance was a naked push on the nose.

"I invite you to fight, to defeat the Xue Yantuo tribe!!" Niu Jinda directly invited to fight.

"I am willing to be the vanguard and defeat Xue Yantuo!" All the generals enthusiastically challenged to fight, their faces full of excitement.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Strengthen the frontier defenses, we will discuss the war later."

The north has always been a very troublesome place, and now is not the time to start a war.

The climate there is cold, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, the sun is shining brightly during the day, and there may be wind and snow at night, and it is very difficult for soldiers to adapt.

Secondly, the terrain is a high-altitude plain, and the lack of altitude sickness will cause soldiers to lose combat effectiveness or even die directly.

In addition, the north is dominated by nomadic herding, and rarely builds cities. They only fight grassland pursuit battles. They can catch up to thousands of miles in one chase, and the requirements for horses are extremely high.

Therefore, in the grassland pursuit battle, in addition to being able to transport troops, food, and horses, the warships are really stretched.

But the endless grassland is a perfect bombing site for cannons, with a wide field of vision and no obstructions, so they can bomb at will.

It's just difficult how to make the opponent face-to-face, instead of running around.

In addition, most of the people in the north mainly focus on grazing. Even if they conquer the other party, that method will not be useful, and they will not farm at all.

So there are problems everywhere from conquest to domination.

In addition, there is still Baekje in front of him, so Xue Yantuo can only temporarily put it aside and focus on defense.

"But there are other frontier matters?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no other movement from the frontier countries."

It is good if there is no other movement, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, it is good that there are no other places to attack and rebel, otherwise the multi-party war will put great pressure on internal affairs.

"I do have some news about Baekje that I want to tell all my loves. I don't know what Baekje Yoshizu has to rely on, but he insists on going to war with me."

As soon as the words fell, all civil and military officials expressed their views one after another.

"Since Fuyu Yici became king, he has never paid tribute here. He is really defiant and extremely arrogant."

"Then Goguryeo, Baekje, Buyeo, Waguo, and the millions of alliances formed have all been buried in the sea. Where does Baekje have the courage to come from?"

"The Goguryeo city is Tang Dynasty Goryeo. Does Baekje Yici think he can beat that Goguryeo?"

None of the civil and military officials could figure out what Baekje Yoshizu relied on.

"I feel that Baekje's arrogance should be completely wiped out, and he should bow his head and become a minister!" Changsun Wuji stood up first and said.

"If Baekje is attacked, I would like to donate [-] shi of grain!" Chu Suiliang turned his eyes, and said righteously.

As soon as the word 'stone' fell, countless officials spoke one after another, saying enthusiastically.

"The veteran also thinks that Baekje should be destroyed, and I am willing to donate [-] shi of grain."

"···"

Li Shimin's face and muscles twitched, all of them regarded Baekje as the next Korea, hoping to destroy Baekje and bring back the spoils...

"Since all the lovers agree, I will recruit some soldiers to attack Baekje on another day. We will discuss the matter of raising food and grass!"

Li Shimin politely refused, there was no shortage of food and grass, and if he exchanged food and grass for the spoils of war, it was a free offer.

The civil and military officials immediately lost interest when they heard about it. They had no loot, and they couldn't be too enthusiastic at all. After all, the hatred between Baekje and Datang was not the hatred of destroying the country.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin frowned slightly, it seems that the spoils of war must be given.

Although they will obey orders, they are not very motivated. After all, soldiers are paid in the army. Can so many families support some benefits?

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and comforted the civil and military officials below.

"I have already understood the wishes of all my lovers, but there is no shortage of food and grass. But I still need all my lovers to do one thing for me, which is like raising food and grass. If this is done..."

As soon as the topic changed, all civil and military officials looked eagerly at him with joy.

"The minister is willing to serve His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, just give orders!!"

Sure enough, no one is willing to do things that are not beneficial. Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials speechlessly, then turned his gaze to Li Tai and said, "The matter is of great importance. Please tell the prince the plan."

plan?what's the plan?

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin in bewilderment, and saluted, "Please make it clear, Father~"

"It's the cement construction plan!"

Li Tai suddenly realized that it turned out that by attacking Baekje, many families were driven to build concrete roads.

If you want to understand, you want to understand, but I don’t have any plans...

He thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth under the eager eyes of civil and military officials.

"In the past, when cities were built, the bricks and stones were connected with the gaps, and the soil was used. After being blown by wind and rain, it was easy to collapse and not firm.

And there is a thing called cement in the Academy of Sciences, which is like clay when added with water, but as long as it dries, a city can be built in a day, and it is as unbreakable as a solid rock after solidification. "

Niu Jinda was surprised from ear to ear: "Turn...mud into stone?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened: "How is this possible?"

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder... no wonder the blast furnace outside the city was built in such a short period of time, and it will not collapse!"

After being reminded, many officials immediately understood: "So that's the case. I said, why is the construction of the blast furnace so fast!"

"It's just that if this leaks out, I'm afraid..."

The words were not finished yet, but all civil and military officials understood the meaning.

Building a city in a day is a strategic material. Once this thing is released, it will be great if someone with a heart learns it.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin on the dragon chair, not knowing whether they were trying to test him or they really wanted to let him out.

"You don't have to worry about it, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be vulnerable to the Shenwei cannon."

"This... Although the cement is strong, it cannot prevent cannons, which prevents those who have evil intentions."

"If cement is used to build roads and bridges, then the emperor will never be far away again!"

"Those tens of thousands of captives are just right for building concrete roads!!"

"Hiss..." The civil and military officials couldn't help but took a deep breath, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. They only felt that Li Shimin and his son were playing a big game of chess.

"The emperor continues!"

Li Tai spoke slowly in the eyes of everyone.
