Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

As the construction progress of the wharf and shipyard continued to increase, more and more letters came from the Wang family.

After Yuchi Baoqi read the letter, he threw it away and planned to go to the palace to find Li Er's bad luck.

Unexpectedly, Yuchi Baoqi was intercepted before he reached the Manlu Palace, and Li Yuan's personal attendant Wang Fu took him directly to the Tai Chi Palace.

"How many times have you entered the palace since you came back from Luoyang? Didn't you come to see the old man once? Did you hear that traitor say that you have become an official in the court?"

Yuchi Baoqi didn't follow the rules and directly picked up the teapot and started making tea.

"What can I do? I have to go to Li Zhi's place. Li Er's place is looking forward to me going there every day. Even if I just have a cup of tea and leave, I still want to go."

Paused.

"When people live in this life, they always have to do something and leave something behind."

Li Yuan was startled, why did this young man who used to be so generous suddenly act like this?

"Now that you have become an official in the court, you can be considered as helping my rebellious son. I will never mention the bad things that happened between me and your father."

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly burst out in anger: "Why! Why should my son write off my rebellion against my father?"

Wang Fu: "?"

Li Yuan: "?"

Li Shimin, who was eavesdropping: "?"

"Besides, are you, the Li family, naturally fond of raising Gu? Prince Yin plus Li Er, and before that, Li Chengqian and Li Tai. I really don't understand what you are thinking!"

Li Shimin couldn't hide it anymore and coughed twice: "Didn't Qingque ask you to go farm? Can you not mention this matter?"

Yuchi Baoqi slapped the table again: "Let me reiterate to you again, Li Tai went to find high-quality seeds and farming methods for the people of the Tang Dynasty. He was a pioneer! What does it mean to farm the land."

Li Shimin hurriedly checked, Qingque was quite good.

"Also, what's going on with Li Chengqian? Who do you ask to teach him every day? You ask Confucian scholars to teach people to be emperors, and they might as well go farming together every day!"

Li Shimin thumped for a moment, thinking that he was right. If this Confucian scholar could teach the emperor, what would he do?

"Didn't you check your employer? You don't know who Li Gang is? He is a famous prince killer!"

Li Yuan regretted asking Wang Fu to intercept Yuchi Baoqi, and now he had to listen to the scolding.

Yuchi Baoqi rubbed his eyebrows and the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"In this huge court, no one can help me!"

Li Shimin got to the point, we can help you, just stop scolding me in the future.

"Ahem, I wonder why my good husband is so worried?"

"It's a big military matter, it's... inconvenient here, and there are not many people here."

Li Yuan quickly waved his hand: "You two go to the Manna Palace quickly. This important military matter cannot be delayed. Wang Fu quickly invites the generals into the palace to discuss matters in the Manna Palace."

The main thing is don't stay here with me and cause me to get scolded.

"Wang De, you also go together."

After a while, the Manna Hall was almost full.

Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and other military generals all came, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also invited.

"Masters! What does our Tang Dynasty lack most now?"

Fang Xuanling said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs knows best about the lack of food! The lack of money!"

Li Jing stroked his beard: "Since the arrival of the Mighty Heavenly Army, a lot of iron ore has been wasted!"

Yuchi Jingde was about to refute Li Jing, but Li Jing did not understand the power of the Tianwei Army. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Yuchi Baoqi's shout.

"Well said! We're short of money, we're short of food, we're short of iron ore! We're also fucking short of people!"

Li Shimin coughed twice and whispered: "Well, you are a good son-in-law. Now that you are an official, can you use less vulgar language?"

Yuchi Baoqi didn't strangle him at all and continued to brainwash him, no. speech!

"Now that our Tang Dynasty has just approved the plan to start overseas trade, it will be shelved! It's just for the reasons mentioned above."

Du Ruhui knew that if Yuchi Baoqi didn't have a solution, he would definitely not have gathered so many people here.

"It would be better if the British government were more forthright, which would save us from guessing."

"I have a solution for the shortage of food, and the solution is to go to sea. The shortage of money is also easy to solve, by going to sea."

Changsun Wuji stood up at this time: "In the final analysis, it's all over once we go to sea? There is a lack of iron ore. The worst possible outcome is that our Changsun family's iron ore will be nationalized!"

"Lord Changsun is very righteous, but these are my Datang's iron mines, so they are meaningless. What I mean is that I want other people's iron mines, do you understand?"

Li Shimin found the key to the problem: "Why is iron ore so important? Although iron ore was also an extremely important resource in the past, it was not so urgent."

Yuchi Baoqi smiled: "Because I didn't go to sea before, but now I want to go to sea. Your Majesty, I want to build a big ship, a large ship made of steel!"

After listening to Yuchi Baoqi's words, the entire Manna Hall became silent and fell into a strange silence.

"Come on, come up and get the plan."

"We will grab whatever we need! Iron ore, fertile land, people!"

Yuchi Jingde was the first to catch up with his son's brain circuit and grab it! This matter is clear to my brother!

"Son, where is the iron ore produced?"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at his father with a smile. He was indeed the number one bodyguard leader of the Tang Dynasty, and he had a keen sense of smell.

"Goguryeo."

After hearing these three words, Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling felt some indescribable pain in their balls.

"Presumably the British know that one of the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty was the attack on Goguryeo, right?"

At this time, Li Jing did not follow Fang Xuanling and tell him not to attack Goguryeo.

"I think it would be good to attack Goguryeo now."

Li Shimin felt a little pained not because he didn't want to conquer Goguryeo, but because he was bothered by the thought of arguing with the civil servants about conquering Goguryeo. He also said that he was militaristic and insisted on going his own way even though he knew the cause of the previous dynasty's demise.

Yuchi Baoqi stopped their discussion: "Although I talked about conquering the grasslands and Goguryeo before, I will put it aside for now. My first step is to go to Tubo to grow cotton."

Fang Xuanling was dizzy: "Didn't you say we were going to fight before? Our Ministry of Revenue has given us all the money and food, so why don't we fight again?"

"This year's grassland is cold, and the weather has nothing to do with us. It attacks indiscriminately. Therefore, we need something to keep out the cold. Clothes and pants made of wool are not enough."

"So let's recuperate and go to Tubo to plant cotton first. Then we build dragon boats and go to Nanyang to conduct overseas trade. If we have money, food, winter clothes, and dragon boats, we will attack Goguryeo and block the Jieli tribe on the outside."

Li Jing stroked his beard: "Initiate a rebellion against the Tuli tribe. We will stop them and they will encircle them. Double kill!"

Yuchi Jingde spoke directly: "Goguryeo has a fortified city, which is suitable for the Tianwei Army to go to war. It is just as your Majesty wanted. How can you get it back if you lose it in the grassland!"

Li Shimin spoke: "I have no problem with Tianwei's army going to fight Goguryeo, but Xiaobao can't go with you."

Realizing that his words were ambiguous, Li Shimin quickly continued.

"It's not that I'm afraid of you father and son, I want to keep a hostage. Xiaobao has to coordinate the subsequent shipbuilding, his marriage to Lizhi, and even the development of Lingnan."

Yuchi Baoqi: "I understand. I understand what you mean. You have to work hard, brother Menqing."
