Li Shimin

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Li Chenglu frowned lightly, and responded with a vague understanding.

In this regard, Li Xuan did not correct too much.

Anyway, under his behest, Li Chenglu followed the youngsters of the Lijiazhuang households since he was a child, fished and rolled around in the village, went into the mountains to hunt birds,

Even when he grows up, there will be a gap in his status, but his feelings are still there!

……

A few days later, Cui Xuanlan, head of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Zheng Yuanzhe, head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, also hurried to Chang'an with their personal guards.

These two families belong to the second batch of families who established the principality, so they have already been crowned kings.

Naturally, there is also the privilege of recruiting personal guards.

The other courtyard in Chang'an City was also directly converted into the other courtyard of the Wangfu.

Li Xuan first explained to these two people, and then they entered the palace with pleasant expressions on their faces.

Only then did they realize how much benefit Li Xuan had brought them!

Simultaneously.

Among the major families in the world, the story of the bank has also begun to spread.

One after another, the heads of the major families also rushed to Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, undercurrents surged.

However, the matter of the bank is related to the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. As early as the first day or two, the number of big families and dignitaries who can participate in the bank has been drawn up by Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other confidant ministers. .

No matter how those aristocratic families and dignitaries are related, it will not help.

Immediately afterwards, the story of the King Master of the Tang Dynasty's bombing at Yasan Harbor and Pyongyang City gradually spread in the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone started to inquire about this matter again.

However, what they didn't expect was that just after the front foot searched for someone, the back foot was warned.

Moreover, they haven't found out anything yet!

Therefore, following the mysterious matter of the bank, these aristocratic families and dignitaries have one more thing in their hearts that they want to find out urgently.

As a result, letters were sent from Chang'an to various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

at the same time.

Caravans headed for Goguryeo under the arrangement of Li Shimin, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others.

Regarding these, those aristocratic families have not yet reacted.

Another piece of news came.

His Majesty summoned the world to go to Goguryeo, guard the city of Goguryeo, and establish a principality family to come to Beijing to discuss matters!

Immediately, the entire world family began to boil.

What banks, what bombs, all left behind!

Only the city of Goguryeo is the biggest benefit. As long as they get the city, they can establish a king and build a country, recruit soldiers and horses, and the family power can be expanded several times again!

As for this, the Li clan's relatives, as well as some dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, were also very enthusiastic.

The whole Goguryeo!

Dozens of cities and 300 million people, how much wealth can these bring them?

"Uncle Wang, those aristocratic families, as well as all the dignitaries, the royal family, are all crazy!"

Li Chengqian said to Li Xuan with a face full of surprise as if he had seen something remarkable.

"Well, have a sip of tea first, and speak slowly!"

Li Xuan glanced at the cup of hot tea in front of Li Chengqian, and said quietly.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian also reacted and smiled embarrassingly.

"It's Chengqian who lost his temper!"

Immediately, he picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and moistened his throat.

"Uncle Wang, you haven't seen that some aristocratic families who are usually very noble in front of the father, or some of the Li clan, are now flocking in front of the father, playing tricks, doing everything they can... ...even, there are aristocratic families who have brought more than a dozen beauties to present to the father..."

"How did His Majesty deal with it?"

Li Xuan was a little curious, as for what he said to Li Chengqian, he wasn't too surprised.

Anyway, the more powerful the rich and powerful, the thicker their face will be when encountering interests that interest them.

"Father just cared about the lives of those aristocratic families and the Li clan, and then treated them to a lunch!"

Li Chengqian didn't say much about the latter.

However, Li Xuan could also guess it.

"Then why did you come to Lijiazhuang today?"

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Chengqian's face.

Since the establishment of the Thunder Army, the government has been busy, and Li Shimin gave Li Chengqian more memorials to cultivate Li Chengqian's ability to handle government affairs.

Li Chongyi, Xue Rengui, and Cheng Chusi also joined the Thunder Army, and Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi and others were also assigned a position by Li Shimin.

They didn't have time to come to Lijiazhuang.

Therefore, Li Chengqian did not come to Lijiazhuang often.

Today, he came here because of Li Shimin's order.

"Reporting to Uncle Wang, Father wants Chengqian to ask Uncle Wang, what is the best strategy for these aristocratic families and dignitaries who want to participate in dividing up the Goguryeo city?"

"no!"

Li Xuan shook his head directly.

Li Chengqian was taken aback.

Li Xuan continued: "I have only one strategy, and that is the auction."

"Last year, His Majesty has already auctioned off five aristocratic families. In this way, let these five families choose cities in order of priority. In addition, as many cities as there are left, His Majesty can auction off as many cities as possible. This is only fair."

"It's just that if the entire Goguryeo is auctioned off, the property obtained will be tens of thousands. Therefore, I ask your majesty to focus more on iron and grain. No matter how much the court has accumulated, there will never be too little of these two.

Moreover, His Majesty wants to auction off all the food and iron from those families, which is equivalent to controlling those families! "

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your suggestion!"

Li Chengqian got up quickly and bowed his hands in salute.

He has already agreed with this suggestion from his heart, as for whether his father agrees with it or not, it is none of his business.

Immediately, he bid farewell to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan just waved his hand casually and let Li Chengqian leave.

Then, he turned around and went upstairs.

On the second floor, Cui Mi has been pregnant for several months, and it is time for him to accompany her.Besides, there was a little padded jacket, Li Jinyun, who was also very attached to him.

As for the forge, Li Xuan rarely went shopping.

Although he has a lot of good things he wants to make, but each of them needs an industrial foundation, and he can only let the music table and Li Yuanjia slowly build and develop.

Li Xuan himself is just a waste, living a life of waste with his wife and children on the bed, that's all.

However, Lijiazhuang is peaceful.

In Chang'an City, it was a mess.

This time, there are at least [-] or [-] aristocratic families or powerful forces who can establish a king in Goguryeo.

Such a huge benefit is enough to make every force go crazy.

Especially after Li Shimin released the news of the continuation of the auction, basically all the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty were counting their belongings and counting the officials' children in their families.

The situation of the last auction is still deeply etched in their minds.

This time, no matter what, they will fight for several cities for the family!

……

Chapter 697 Auction Harvest

It was a few days later.

The auction officially begins.

The people in the entire Chang'an City suddenly discovered that the surrounding teahouse on Zhuque Street was under martial law by a group of familiar Marquis Wu.

At the same time, horse-drawn carriages were already parked around the teahouse.

In the past, there was a trace of traffic jam on the incomparably wide Suzaku Avenue!

In this way, it lasted for two full days.

Zhuque Avenue returned to normal, and the people in the entire Chang'an City felt a sudden relief in their hearts.

A total of twelve aristocratic families, six relatives of the Li family, and seven honorable families of the Tang Dynasty were auctioned off to guard the city of Goguryeo and become kings and found the country.

In other words, after half a year, there will be nineteen more kings of the opposite sex in the entire Tang Dynasty!

"Master, this auction got 280 million shi of grain, 360 million jin of pig iron, wrought iron and various ironware, and 45 iron mines!"

Li Chengqian sat in front of Li Xuan and reported respectfully.

It's just that the smiles in the eyes are all overflowing.

"Very good, now we can build a few giant steel ships!"

Li Xuan laughed.

Li Chengqian: "..."

This Uncle Wang really got into the giant steel ship just as his father said.

"What else do you have?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Going back to Uncle Wang, I received the good news that Cao Guogong and Su Guogong have already attacked the 36 surrounding cities with Goguryeo Pyongyang as the center.

To the south, we have already attacked the border of Baekje, and now the Baekje army Chen Bing is confronting my Tang Wangshi at the border!

At the same time, both Baekje and Silla sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, bowed their heads to the Tang Dynasty, and presented two large carts of various rare treasures..."

Li Chengqian said.

"Hmph..." Li Xuan sneered.

Although they dismiss these two small countries, the actions of these two small countries are the only and most correct thing they can do at present.

This is the tragedy of a small country. Facing the sea on both sides, the land is still a bit bigger, but the ambition is not small. It wants to follow the big country on the border to conquer another big country.

Unexpectedly, the big country on the border had just launched its military formation and showed its fangs, and was slapped on the ground by Datang, and grabbed its throat, and then gave it to him with a lightning speed. Kill and devour.

It's not bad that Baekje and Silla don't scare the shit out of them!

However, if you want to escape, you can't escape.

The Japanese country in the south hated them deeply, and Goguryeo in the north has been occupied by the Tang army. The east and west sides are endless seas!

Knowing that Datang would never let them go, but with a glimmer of hope, they sent envoys to plead guilty to Datang, wanting to die.

"What about Tubo and Tuyuhun?"

Thinking about it, Li Xuan continued to ask.

"Uncle Wang, ever since Tubo and Tuyuhun started their war against my Great Tang, they were still able to fight against my Great Tang Master one or two at the very beginning.

However, in the past few years, Tubo and Tuyuhun have been reducing the breeding of war horses in order to raise yaks. The more they delay, the more powerless they will be.

In addition, once the war broke out, all the caravans of my Tang Dynasty cut off their ties with small countries such as Tubo and Tuyuhun. Silk, tea, and even luxury accessories such as liquor!

However, after two years of support from my Tang caravan, the landlords and nobles of small countries such as Tubo and Tuyuhun have become accustomed to these extravagant ornaments of my Tang Dynasty.
