"And I can't eat or drink well in Tubo, but you came back early, and you can still eat the peerless food like hot pot!"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others were more miserable than the other.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan's face immediately sank, "You and a group of bastards don't even know about my king's kindness!"

"Good intentions?"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking at Li Xuan with disbelief.

Li Xuan hummed again.

"My king, let me ask you, if I didn't stay behind Tuyuhun, would you dare to attack Tubo with peace of mind?

Moreover, have you always wanted to lead troops to fight, have you always wanted to build military merits?

If at that time, the king and you attacked Tubo together, would more than half of the great achievements in defeating Tubo be attributed to me?

The most important point, are you happy to attack Tubo? ..."

"Master..."

After listening, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but look at each other.

They always felt that what their master said was not so right, but no matter how they heard it, the master was thinking about them.

Moreover, without the followers of their own masters, they are the only ones in the entire army who are more familiar with attacking cities with bombs and muskets.

Along the way, basically all siege wars were led by them!

Think about it, they still feel excited now!

"Why did you come back so early, but you have already captured the entire territory of Tubo?"

Li Xuan asked again.

……

Chapter 789 Gao Ming, how do you think Datang should develop

Speaking of this, the eyes of Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others suddenly shone brightly.

"Master, His Majesty ordered us to be called back. Gao Ming will marry the Crown Princess in Jiashen in the first lunar month of next year."

"And before I came back, I had captured the capital of Tubo, and even Songtsen Gampo was captured alive. Only [-]% of Tubo's territory was not captured, but Tubo is equivalent to The country was destroyed."

"Master, you don't know that although Tubo has a vast territory, it is sparsely populated, and they are all a bunch of softies. When we first invaded Tubo, we encountered some resistance.

However, the further we attack, the softer those Tubo hozen become. Sometimes my Master Tang just needs to throw a few bombs into the city, and those Tubo hozen will obediently leave the city and surrender! "

"As for the king of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo, he wanted to summon the soldiers from all the cities to fight my master of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was a world of ice and snow, and my master of the Tang Dynasty only needed one bomb. The Tubo army was scattered and defeated!"

"Master, when we were conquering Tubo, basically [-]% of our time was spent on the road, and [-]% of the rest of the time was spent resting, and [-]% was spent attacking and receiving Tubo cities!"

"Right now, the remaining [-]% ​​of Tubo's territory is nothing to worry about. As long as my Great Tang Master arrives, those cities will collapse like dust!"

"..."

After listening, Li Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others, and said, "So, in Tubo now, whether you are there or not, it's all the same situation!"

"..."

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others froze.

"Master, when I was waiting in Tubo, I was the vanguard of the army!"

Cheng Chusi refused to accept it.

"In the army, there are so many vanguard officers, it's not too late to wait for a few!"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, and looked at Li Chengqian: "Gao Ming, this time, you have led our [-] soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to conquer two countries in a row. Have you passed your addiction to war?"

"Master, if there is a chance, Chengqian will continue to lead troops to expand the territory for my Great Tang!"

Li Chengqian said.

"As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is better to avoid going to the battlefield. It is still a burden for the army if you go to the battlefield!" Li Xuandao.

Li Chengqian: "..."

Still familiar heart-wrenching words!

"What the master said is very true. The matter of leading troops to fight is still left to us warriors. Your prince is still living in Chang'an, so don't compete with us for military exploits!"

"Extremely great!"

"Gao Ming, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, even if you are scratched a little bit by an arrow, it is a big deal. It is better not to lead troops to fight!"

"Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of generals in the Great Tang Dynasty, but there is only one His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Immediately, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others all started talking one after another.

Li Chengqian looked anxious.

However, it cannot be refuted.

Seeing this, Li Xuan just chuckled, and did not continue to provoke Li Chengqian and others.

"When you come back this time, have you ever eaten hot pot?"

"Hot Pot?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi stopped immediately and looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"Master still cares about us!"

"Master, you don't know that the six hotpot restaurants in Chang'an City, just the heads of the aristocratic families, and all the nobles have already lined up their teams two streets away. I really can't bear to go Cut their beards!"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then directed to Li Chang who was beside him.

"Housekeeper! Go prepare a big pot. Today, Ben Wang and these little bastards will eat hot pot together!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded and walked out.

A quarter of an hour later.

In the dining hall.

Li Xuan brought along Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi who were full of curiosity, sitting around the big round table, looking at the red hot hot pot in front of them, Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others couldn't help swallowing their mouths!

"After the soup boils, put the mutton and hog in it, cook it and eat it!"

Li Xuan glanced at Cheng Chusi, who had been eager to try.

Cheng Chusi chuckled.

"Yes, Master!"

"Both Tubo and Tuyuhun have been conquered by our Great Tang, so no barbarians dare to invade the frontiers of our Great Tang!"

After taking a sip of ale, Li Xuan thought for a while, then looked at Li Chengqian again.

"Gao Ming, as the prince of the Great Tang, how do you think my Great Tang will develop in the future?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and the others immediately looked solemn.

After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian said slowly: "Master, the population of our Tang Dynasty is only half of the population of the former Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Chengqian believes that the war should be suspended, rest and recuperate, and restore people's livelihood.

Coincidentally, my Datang has sufficient food in the past few years, which can encourage people to have more children.

In this way, after more than ten years, the people of the Tang Dynasty will have sufficient population and strong military equipment, and they can go out again to attack the barbarian countries farther away. There is no need to enclose the country to those aristocratic families again, but to be directly governed by the imperial court ! "

Hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slowly and asked again.

"Then do you have an idea, how to recuperate?"

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian was startled, and subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.

"Master, since ancient times, rest and recuperation has been to lighten the tax, ease the punishment, ease the government and calm the people, and not to fight everywhere!"

"This is the people-governing policy of the previous dynasties. How is the national strength of the Tang Dynasty and the previous dynasties? Don't you think it's inappropriate to continue to follow the previous policies?" Li Xuan asked with a chuckle.

"This……"

This time, it wasn't just Li Chengqian who was stunned.

Li Chongyi, Fang Yizhi, Chang Sun Chong and others beside him also frowned in thought.

They are all honored children of the Tang Dynasty, and they still know some basic policies of the imperial court governing the people.

According to their limited knowledge, Datang is definitely the richest and most powerful dynasty of all dynasties in their minds.

"Master, the soup in the pot is boiling!"

Suddenly, Cheng Chusi stared once or twice, looked at the pot with joy and said.

"Food!"

Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others who were disturbed couldn't help but stare fiercely at Cheng Chusi.

"What's so fierce, you don't want to eat such a delicious hot pot?"

Cheng Chusi curled his lips, and then looked at Li Xuan expectantly again.

"Eat meat first, then vegetables!"

Li Xuan said in a low voice: "When you think about it, put it in, pick it up when it's cooked, dip it in the sesame sauce in front of you, and then you can eat!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Cheng Chusi was overjoyed.

Stand up directly, pick up a plate of mutton on the side, and put it in.

Afterwards, feeling a little less, I picked up a plate of mutton and a plate of pig meat again, and put them in.

Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and the others also stopped, looking expectantly into the pot.

……

Chapter 790 Bringing the Common People to Make Money

"After four or five breaths, it's almost done!"

Li Xuan said.

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others quickly thanked them.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then started chattering again: "Nowadays, my Great Tang is stronger than any dynasty except that the people are small. The court's granary is full, and even if there is a natural disaster, the people will not suffer from famine.

As for the strength of the army, my Great Tang Master is invincible in the world!

Therefore, as Gao Ming said, encouraging people to have children is also the most important thing.

However, isn't it too monotonous to just encourage people to have children? "

"Recreation is not only for the people to give birth, the court also needs to bring these people to make money and restore people's livelihood. Only when the people have money in their hands can they marry wives and dare to have children. Only in this way can our Tang Dynasty be truly strong. "

"The master's intention is to let the imperial court bring the people of Datang to make money?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was startled, and then his face was full of disbelief.

"But master, isn't this the case that the imperial court takes the lead in doing business?"

On the side, Fang Yizhi, Li Chongyi and others were also full of astonishment.

"I didn't expect you to be so pedantic..."

Li Xuan couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Master, Chengqian is just..."

Li Chengqian quickly wanted to explain.
