Li Shimin

Among them, most of them were written by Fang Jiansi.

On the avenue outside Chang'an City, there was a constant flow of vehicles and horses, most of which were horse-drawn carriages transporting their own earthwork, stones, bricks, and cement.

The old farmers who transported these building materials were all smiling.

As soon as the weather gets warmer this year, they can already start to make money for their family, at least a month longer than before. This year's family situation will definitely be much better than last year!

……

Lijiazhuang!

"See the king (brother Wang)!"

After handing over the cannons that had been forged in the past two years to the military supervisor, Letai, Li Yuanjia, and all the ink masters in the forge seemed to have taken away the most important thing in their hearts.

After the spring plowing is completed, I don't know what to do all day.

"What's the matter with you?"

Seeing the expressions of Letai and Li Yuanjia, Li Xuan was puzzled.

"My lord, the cannon that I have been forging for two years has been handed over to the military supervisor. There are so many craftsmen and ink masters in my forge, it seems that there is nothing to do for a moment!"

Le Tai said anxiously.

In Lijiazhuang, the biggest fear is that they will become useless people.

"You don't feel well when you have nothing to do. You've been busy for two years. Let's take a good rest for a few days!" Li Xuan said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being considerate of the villain. It's just that I'm used to busy work. If I don't forge objects for a day, I will feel uncomfortable!"

With that said, Le Tai looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"I don't know what kind of whimsy the king has? The villain and others will definitely develop it for the king!"

"My king wants thunder and lightning from the sky, can you develop it for me?"

Now, Li Xuan still didn't understand what Letai and Li Yuanjia were trying to do when they came to fight, so he said angrily.

"Thunder and lightning in the sky?"

Le Tai was startled, and hurriedly glanced out of the window, saying with a frightened face.

"Your Majesty be careful, the thunder and lightning in the sky are the things of the gods and gods in the sky. How can we mortals control them?"

"Is there really a flow of immortals and gods in the sky?"

Li Xuan looked at the stage with a half-smile and asked.

"Why does the king ask such a question, isn't the master the king an old god?" Le Tai asked with a strange face.

Forehead!

Li Xuan's face froze, and he quickly smiled embarrassingly, "This king made a slip of the tongue!"

"So, the king wants a carriage that can fly in the sky?"

Le Tai smiled wryly.

"My lord, how can there be a carriage that can fly in the sky? Please don't embarrass the villain..."

"Then I want a carriage that the king can run on the road by himself without being pulled by a horse!" Li Xuandao.

Bandstand: "..."

"That doesn't work either?"

Li Xuan subconsciously stared at the bandstand.

Le Tai smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, if there is no horse pulling in front, how can the carriage run on the road by itself?"

"Then there is no oar to paddle, how can the steel ship drive in the water by itself? The speed is so fast?"

Li Xuan glanced at the bandstand and said leisurely.

"This……"

Le Tai's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Li Xuan with excitement.

"Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty!"

"Humph!"

Li Xuan glared angrily, "You are also Mohou, a great Tang craftsman, why can't you draw inferences about everything?"

"Besides, the cannon is dedicated to His Majesty. What about the musket? Are you satisfied with the slow firing speed of the musket?"

"Also, my Great Tang is based on agriculture, and even those who govern Mohism, can't you think of ways to develop more farming artifacts to increase the speed of farming for the people of our Great Tang?"

"in addition……"

What Letai and Li Yuanjia didn't expect was that they originally only wanted to come to King Jin, hoping to get some advice so that they could have something to do.

However, the two of them did not expect that Jin Wang directly directed at them for half an hour.

When the two walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, their heads were still slightly swollen!

However, Letai and Li Yuanjia's eyes became brighter and their expressions were excited.

Your Majesty told them about such a miraculous thing, and they can study it in the forge for another ten years without worrying about it!

……

Chapter 844

In the ten years of Zhenguan, the internal and external stability of the Tang Dynasty.

After the spring plowing, the biggest warmonger in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, looked at the farming situation in the newspapers of the counties and states in the Tang Dynasty, and felt comforted.It has already begun to prepare to calm down, prepare to marry a daughter, and focus on cultivating talents, developing agriculture, and engaging in infrastructure construction in Datang.

And the second batch of warmongers, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Duan Zhixuan and other generals, also spent half a year sighing in their respective homes, preparing to bid farewell to His Majesty and go to guard the states for the Tang Dynasty.

By the way, under the leadership of the mighty and wise Emperor of Tang Dynasty, he developed agriculture, cultivated poor talents, and then built concrete houses and paved cement roads for Datang.

However, these people had just submitted the memorandum, and a group of travel-stained, flustered faces, like disaster victims, came in from the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an City and went straight to Hejian County Prince's Mansion!

Less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County, rushed directly to the palace angrily!

After half an hour.

Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and other important officials of the Tang Dynasty all came to the Hall of Liangyi with serious faces.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of event has happened in such a hasty summoning of Weichen and others?"

After entering the hall, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others hurriedly asked with puzzled faces.

They hadn't experienced the hastily summoned by Li Shimin for more than a year.

"Hmph, Xiao Gong will tell you about this matter!"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help being startled, and quickly looked at Li Xiaogong.

"May I ask the Prince of Hejian, what kind of event happened?"

"Everyone, my Tang caravan was snatched by the barbarians of the Western Regions!"

Li Xiaogong said directly.

"How dare you!"

"My Datang's caravan, those horse thieves dare to attack, I'm really impatient..."

Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others stared angrily and began to curse.

The Datang caravan that Li Xiaogong talked about was the caravan under the Datang Chamber of Commerce where so many of them were members.

"Su Guogong, Wei Guogong, and Qi Guogong are not the hands of horse thieves from the Western Regions!" Li Xiaogong said with a cold face.

"Ok?"

Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then looked puzzled.

"Hejian County King, apart from those horse thieves in the Western Regions, where else would dare to attack my Datang caravan?"

"That is, although my Datang caravan is only a caravan, because it carries a lot of goods, each caravan has at least 200 veterans accompanying it. Veterans carrying weapons, even if they encounter large barbarian tribes , you can also slaughter them all!"

As they said that, several people subconsciously thought of something, and looked at Li Xiaogong with frightened and angry faces.

"Hejian County King, could it be that a small country in the Western Regions did it?"

"no!"

Li Xiaogong shook his head slowly, and said: "Listening to what the caravan steward said, the people who robbed my Datang caravan were all black armor and black cavalry, and those barbarians were all blond and blue-eyed, holding the eagle flag, it seems extremely The Great Food Country of the West!"

"Big food?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Didn't those Hu merchants in the Western Regions say that the Great Food Kingdom is in the far west, tens of thousands of miles away from my Tang Dynasty, how could their cavalry come to the Western Regions? How dare they plunder the goods of my Datang caravan?"

At this time, Li Shimin walked to the big map in the hall and said slowly.

"According to the map, the Great Food Kingdom is indeed tens of thousands of miles away from our Great Tang! However, since my Great Tang king master destroyed the Turks and took down the countries of Tuyuhun and Tubo, our Great Tang territory has expanded to the west again. Thousands of miles!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Cheng Zhijie and Changsun Wuji hurriedly bowed their hands in praise.

Li Shimin glared at these veterans angrily, and continued: "Since my Tang Dynasty has been able to expand its territory to the west by thousands of miles in the past two years. As a big country in the far west, the Great Food Kingdom must also go to the west." Expand east!"

"Your Majesty, if that big eater dares to come over, I, Old Cheng, will slaughter him and make him into my Tang's food!"

Cheng Zhijie said harshly.

"They have already robbed your caravan and killed many people!"

Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Zhijie and said coldly.

Cheng Zhijie was startled, his eyes turned red, and he wished he could lead the soldiers to wrench off the heads of these thieves immediately, "I also ask your majesty to order, my old Cheng will call his subordinates to cut off the heads of those thieves!"

"Your Majesty, the Western Regions are extremely far away from our Tang Dynasty, and the matter of dispatching troops needs a long-term plan!"

On the side, Wei Zheng quickly cupped his hands and suggested.

"A long-term plan?"

Before Li Shimin could speak to Li Xiaogong and others, Cheng Zhijie exploded.

"Old man Wei, they have all come to fight, robbed my Datang caravan's goods, and killed my Datang old soldier. This matter must be dealt with severely. What else do you want to discuss?"

"Cheng Heizi, I know I want to fight, but to send troops from such a long distance, we must think long-term!"

Wei Zhengcai was not afraid of Cheng Zhijie, and directly said with a dark face: "Do you know how many troops the big food thief captured? Did he rob and kill my Datang caravan on purpose to lure my Great Tang master to go, or did he set a trap on purpose?" Waiting for me Datang soldiers?

This time, how many soldiers will I send in the Tang Dynasty?Who needs to be sent as a general? "

"Of course I am the old Cheng!"

Cheng Zhijie said directly.

"His Majesty……"

However, before he finished speaking, Li Shimin raised his hand.

"My Tang Dynasty has not used swords for more than a year, and some barbarian thieves have begun to disregard my Tang Dynasty, so they will naturally send troops to conquer. As for who to send as generals and how many soldiers to send, tomorrow will be the top of the dynasty. I will discuss with Manchao civil and military again!"

"Xuanling, Keming, how much food does my Tang Dynasty have in Liangzhou for the army to go out?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, in order to prevent the border towns of Shunzhou and Tuyuhun from rebelling, my Tang Dynasty has specially stored 20 shi of grain in Liangzhou for the army to use!"

Du Ruhui hurriedly replied.

"20 shi of grain?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "So, in the next few days, we will send a thousand shi of dried sea fish and a thousand jin of pickled vegetables to Liangzhou, and hurry up to collect a thousand shi of beef jerky from Tubo, and store them in Liangzhou first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others hurriedly clapped their hands together.

This time, Wei Zheng did not stand up to stop it.

Anyway, now that the Tang Dynasty is in peace, the warehouses are overflowing, and the soldiers are strong and strong, even if His Majesty sends [-] troops, he can support it!
