President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 109
Li Tan originally thought that these local families in Liangzhou wanted to keep away from interfering with him in this way.
After all, he has done so many actions recently, and the other party has not responded at all, which is too calm.
In fact, these families are not really calm, but they haven't figured out Li Tan's context yet.
First, Hatamu and He Kuan, the two young birds, were killed directly and neatly, and the Tie family was even implicated.
How long had Li Tan been in Liangzhou?A gambling shop owner and a long historian who had great influence in Liangzhou Prefecture were directly killed, and by the way, the largest family in the area was copied.
Whether the other families want to cooperate with him or oppose him, they have to wait and see first to see if he is only targeting this incident or targeting all the big forces in Liangzhou.
It's just that no one expected that after Li Tan made such a big move, he would suddenly start to calm down. It is said that he was designing the academy.
They only heard about the Langhuan Academy in Chang'an recently. After all, it is not convenient to spread the news these days. They knew that His Highness once set up an academy before, but they didn't know how big the academy was and what role it played. .
Later, after the academy had a general outline, all the families could see that His Highness was ambitious.
However, the more ambitious they are, the happier they are. Now that Liangzhou has become a Shangzhou because of Li Tan's arrival, the official position will naturally increase.
And after Li Tan killed He Kuan before, by the way, he cleaned up the state capital. From top to bottom, there were basically few people left.
Originally, the official positions in the state capital were controlled by these big families. Of course, they were not happy that Li Tan took everyone down.
It's just that even if they are unhappy, they don't dare to take any further action-officials who have entered the normal official system of Liangzhou Prefecture are all registered with the court, and some official positions are not even available to Li Tan. I have my own considerations.
But this Highness didn't know how to operate it. At most, it took a letter to type back and forth, and these officials became blank boards.
At this time, if they don't know that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is backed by the imperial court, then they will be too stupid.
Therefore, going against King Ning is tantamount to going against the court. Although these families are used to being domineering in Liangzhou, it seems that the emperor is far away from the mountains, but they don't dare to go against the court so openly.
So no matter what ideas they had before, now their policy towards Li Tan has become that they must strive for cooperation.
It's just that these people are used to being superior in the local area. Even if they want to cooperate with Li Tan, they don't intend to take the initiative to speak up. They just want to wait for Li Tan to invite him in person.
These families also have confidence. After all, Li Tan has pushed down the previous people, so is he going to re-elect officials?And there are not many literate and knowledgeable people in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, and they only count their own family members who have this ability.
The only thing to be careful about is the same other local aristocrats, after all, this can be regarded as a sudden re-division of political territory.
The local wealthy families are wary of others, even the in-laws will not fully trust them.
At this time, Yin Fang stepped forward, and he directly summoned the three local families... oh, now the two major families, and several other rich families, and said: "The situation is critical now, if the infighting continues, you and I It's dangerous."
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately understood that Yin Fang wanted to re-divide their territory before Li Tan made any move, so that when they faced King Ning, they could negotiate more calmly.
As a local wealthy family, these people have a vision, and they are relatively consistent in their anti-foreignness. What's more, all the families have basically followed the lead of the Tie family and the Yin family these years. Now that the Tie family has been directly ransacked, only the Yin family has this Qualified to host.
It's just that even if they were allies for the time being, when faced with a real conflict of interests, each of them basically refused to give an inch. In the end, it was Yin Fang's coordination, and the Yin family gave up two official positions to barely balance it.
Of course, the reason why Yin Fang is so generous is because everyone promised that Gongsun Chui will give up the position of long history, and Yin Fang's eldest son will take up the post.
In this way, the Yin family is equivalent to being in charge of the whole state, which is a bit stronger than the original Tie family. After all, although He Kuan is the son-in-law of the Tie family, he is an outsider after all.
After the discussion, everyone began to wait and see what Li Tan would do.
As a result, at this time, the Turks called, and Li Tan suddenly disappeared for a long time. When he reappeared, the Turks had the intention of retreating.
Duan Xiushi didn't know about Li Tan's absence from the state capital at first. After all, he was guarding the border town, so he naturally wouldn't know what happened in the state capital.
But for the local wealthy family who have been watching Li Tan's various movements, it is not a secret at all.
They had some guesses as to whether Li Tan had done something during this, but no one thought this guess was true.
When King Ning left, there were two people with him, one was the book boy Bakun and the other was Li Bai. What could the three of them do?
After convincing themselves that Li Tan might just go out and watch the construction progress of the academy, they felt that when the Turks retreated this time, it was almost time for Li Tan to re-elect officials.
There are two ways for Li Tan to select officials, one is to hold the examination directly in the state capital, and the other is to find a banquet for the local "family" and then get the support of the local "family", so that the work will become easier.
It's just that they waited and found that Li Tan didn't seem to have this meaning at all, and now half of the state capital is empty.
What is Ning Wang doing?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Tan suddenly personally greeted a group of scholars who came from afar.
When Yin Fang heard the news, he had a bad feeling. When he heard that these students were all graduated from Chang'an Langhuan Academy and recommended by He Zhizhang, they finally knew what Li Tan was waiting for.
They don't know the level of these students, but they do know who He Zhizhang is. After all, he is the No. [-] scholar, and he is also a famous No. [-] scholar.
To be able to catch He Zhizhang's eyes, how can these people be bad?
Even Yin Fang was a little panicked at this moment. Who would have thought that Li Tan would spend a lot of effort to transfer people from Chang'an?You are not following the rules.
However, Li Tan had done too many unruly things, and they didn't dare to criticize Li Tan, for fear that this unreasonable man would directly lead troops to wipe them out.
And even if Li Tan killed all of them, at most it would be a matter of paying some money. After all, he was a prince. Even if it was treason, he would be confined at most, and he could be put to death directly without charges.
Yin Fang could only hold another emergency meeting. The central issue was not to take Joe again. If this continued, he would have to wait for Liangzhou to completely fall into King Ning's hands.
Everyone also felt depressed, and fortunately, Yin Fang's [-]th birthday was approaching, and they somehow had a chance to send invitations to Li Tan directly.
Yin Fang personally invited Li Tan, and Li Tan also came to participate. Wouldn't everyone be happy when the two parties reconcile?
For these people's thoughts, Li Tan can still feel to some extent, but he has no intention of following these people's thoughts at all.
He threw the invitation directly and said, "No." After a pause, he continued, "Just go and prepare a birthday present."
Li Tan said that he designated a gold-plated multicolored glass cup exchanged from the mall as a birthday present.
The glazed cups were originally a pair, and Li Tan took out one to sell in order to show the preciousness of these cups. At that time, Yin Fang's eldest son happened to take pictures of them and gave them to his father as a birthday present.
Li Tan simply sent the other one over, and added a postscript to make the pair of cups a pair, which also had a good meaning.
As for the gift giver, Li Tan thought about it and directly assigned Wang Wei to go there.
In fact, Wang Wei had given them a high opinion of them in the past, but Li Tan didn't want to push them to a dead end, so he just gave them some face.
When Wang Wei sent the gold-plated and multicolored glass cup, the faces of the Yin family were very exciting from top to bottom.
No, it's not just them, it should be said that everyone at the scene looked wonderful. After all, when Yin's eldest son bought the sky-high price glass cup, everyone was still envious of the Yin family's wealth.
In the end...was it King Ning who took out the glass cup for auction?
Is this the real rich and powerful master?
Yin Fang forced a smile and said: "Young Lao Wang Changshi went there personally. I didn't know that this glass cup belonged to His Royal Highness before, so I took a photo of it. His Highness only took out one for auction. Obviously, he cherishes this glass very much. I am also not good at taking people's love, so I will send it back in person on a certain day."
Yin Fang's words clearly and secretly express Li Tan's meaning of auctioning off his precious things because he has no money. As for why he has no money... Isn't he building an academy?It must be because of this!
Wang Wei had a proper smile on his face, and said lightly: "You are too polite, the old man. The reason why the king only auctioned off a glass cup is because this one was thrown somewhere before. Now I found it. It just so happened Hearing that your son gave the other one to the old man as a birthday present, the king ordered me to bring it, as a sign of reunion, and wish the old man a happy birthday."
The smile on Yin Fang's face couldn't be held back. When he received the glass cup before, he put it away with great care, intending to keep it as a family heirloom.
In the end, it turned out to be something that was thrown away at King Ning's place?At this moment, he suddenly thought that in the auction back then, almost all the items auctioned were glass products, and this cup was indeed not the highest price.
This cup and the rest of the items are obviously in the same style. Could it be...all from the hands of King Ning?
Thinking of this, Yin Fang couldn't help gasping. How much money does King Ning have?
It's not too much to say that the rich can rival the country, right?
Yin Fang's mind turned quickly, and he woke up in an instant. He just wanted to politely send Wang Wei away first, and then analyze how much His Royal Highness King Ning is hiding.
It's just that he can understand clearly, but there are always things that he can't understand. A middle-aged man with a big belly said angrily: "Your Highness King Ning is so ungrateful for using disposable items as birthday gifts, to be so contemptuous of the aristocratic family."
Wang Zhen glanced at him: "Aristocratic family? Who is the son of the aristocratic family? What is the family? What page is it on the genealogy?"
Crowd: ...
Hit people without slapping their faces, and swear without exposing them!
If these people really have a place on the family tree, why would they need to pretend to be the family?
The man's face was a little hesitant, and he sneered and said: "There are hundreds of families recorded on the genealogy, do you remember all of them?"
Wang Wei glanced at him and said, "This is a lesson that you must learn since childhood, what's the matter? Don't you learn it?"
Learning is learning, but no one really remembers it so clearly.
Yin Fang felt that since the Chief of the Palace, Shi, was sent out, there must be something special about him. After all, King Ning would definitely not let his own people be humiliated.
He was different from the arrogance of that person just now, and asked politely: "I don't know where you are from?"
The middle-aged man suddenly regained his spirits, that's right, you are not a real family if you run on us, so just talk about yourself.
Wang Wei smiled slightly and said: "My surname is Wang, and I am from the Wang family of Hedong."
Everyone: Hedong Wang family? ! ! !
Is this really a family member?
And it's not a small family.
Although the Hedong Wang family is not as famous as the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family, it is still a very well-established family. If you look back, the ancestor is the famous Qiqiao Linglongxin Bigan.
After everyone learned about Wang Wei's family, they were dumbfounded for a moment, and they lowered their heads unconsciously. After all, Wang Wei is a real family. Even if he is not outstanding in other things, just this surname can overwhelm everyone.
Seeing the faces of those people, Wang Wei suddenly understood why Li Tan sent him here.
He said that since Li Tan didn't come, why did he give such a precious gift? He actually wanted to use his family background to slap him in the face!
Wang Wei couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he still did enough courtesy, at least he couldn't lose the face of the Hedong Wang family.
After Wang Wei left, the middle-aged man flushed with anger, and said repeatedly: "What's the point, what's the point!"
Yin Fang sighed, and suddenly, as if he was ten years older, he said with some disinterestedness: "It seems that Your Highness doesn't intend to wait for me anymore."
The middle-aged man said: "Does he really think that he can control Liangzhou by replacing those officials with his own people? In this state capital, our industries are all over the city, so what can he do?"
Everyone was stunned and felt that this was the same reason. After all, no matter how many policies Li Tan promulgated, they would not cooperate when they were implemented. What could Li Tan do?
Yin Fang also lifted his spirits and said, "Before, I was too conservative and let this... underestimate us. Now it's time for him to see our strength!"
Everyone nodded again and again, and everyone remembered the matter of being slapped in the face just now, although they knew in their hearts that their family was not a real family.
However, after so many years, what they received in Liangzhou was the treatment of the aristocratic family. As a result, Li Tan sent Wang Wei over. Although Wang Wei didn't say anything, his existence was Chi Guoguo's mockery!
While these people were discussing how they would not cooperate in the future and how they would hinder Li Tan's work, Li Tan was listening to Wang Wei's report on what had happened.
After learning that those people were ridiculed, Li Tan couldn't help but smile: "Hmph, a group of local turtles still want to pretend to be a family."
It's fine to pretend to be a family, but you still want to take Joe with him?Get out of here!
Of course Li Tan focused on the end, but what he said was the previous excuse, after all, he could resonate with the people present.
The people under him, Wang Wei and Du Fu needless to say, are from aristocratic families, and Du Fu's family background is not considered prominent, but his mother is from the Cui family, even if it is a side branch, it is not something ordinary families can marry.
Even Chen Chong was born in a family, probably only Gongsun Chui and Li Bai were not born well.
It's just that these two people have also received orthodox education, and they can accept such views.
After laughing, Gongsun Chui said: "My lord, these people are narrow-minded, and I'm afraid they will embarrass us in the future."
Li Tan said: "How can they be in a difficult situation? Are they needed to fight the Turks, or are they needed to build a new city?"
Gongsun Chui was helpless: "Not to mention anything else, taxes will be collected in autumn. If they delay in collecting taxes, it will be enough."
Yes, as long as they procrastinate, Li Tan can give the court an impression that he is not doing well. After all, it takes so long for a simple tax, so it is natural that the governor is incompetent?
What?The local people do not cooperate?That would make the governor even more unpopular.
Li Tan wasn't worried at all, he called Meng Zhiya over and asked, "How is the construction of the new city going?"
Meng Zhiya Shiyu looked at him and asked, "Do you think I know magic? The kind that can build a city with just a few words?"
Urge him to go on strike again!
Seeing that he was going to blow his hair, Li Tan quickly waved his hands and said, "I came here to ask you. Let's pick some key constructions first, and build the living area first. It doesn't have to be complete. Let's divide the areas one by one. .”
In Li Tan's vision, this city is like a city for future generations, including different administrative districts. Each administrative district has its own commercial center and supporting living facilities, and the city center is naturally the most prosperous and comprehensive.
Now Li Tan's request is to build the city center first, and the supporting residential areas, commercial areas, and administrative areas. As long as these three are built first, they can be moved in one after another.
After hearing this, Meng Zhiya thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, it's okay to expand from the center a little bit, but in this case, there is room for splicing in many places, such as sewer pipes, this ...I'll look back and think about it."
When Li Tan heard the word "sinking into the water", he originally thought about getting tap water, but he swallowed the words again.
Tap water needs a water pumping station, and the water pumping station involves water pumps and power machines. Not to mention the power machine, water pumps involve too many, and there are dozens or twenty types of them according to their uses. I want to research this thing out. However, even if Li Tan could provide theoretical knowledge, it would be difficult to do to a certain extent, because the industrial processing these days is still too rough.
The precision of many parts can't meet the standard at all. Li Tan thought for a while, in order to be able to use the flush toilet as soon as possible, he felt that he should focus on researching this aspect first.
If there is need, there will be motivation. Li Tan is very motivated when he thinks of being able to live a life with running water and flush toilets.
Seeing that Li Tan knew what was in his mind, Meng Zhiya explained to him the progress of the academy's construction.
Compared with the city, the construction of the academy is much simpler. Although it occupies a large area, it looks like a small city, but it only has the most basic living facilities inside - dormitories, teaching buildings, and other various needs. venues and laboratories.
There is nothing else but these, and the city will have various functional buildings and commercial areas.
Li Tan took a look at the progress of the academy, calculated it, and said with a smile, "This way, it will be put into use in autumn."
Meng Zhiya nodded and asked, "Are you really planning to put the spring in the academy instead of the city?"
No matter how you look at it, it is better to put it in the city.
Li Tan hesitated for a while but insisted: "Let's put it in the academy."
Although the city was built by him, it will definitely be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the future. Li Tan has never planned to stand on his own.
The reason for building this city was just to re-establish a Liangzhou system headed by him. In the final analysis, he felt that the situation in Liangzhou was too complicated, so he planned to break it and then establish it.
But in the future, when the Anshi Rebellion is over, this city may welcome other ruling officials and put the spring here. Who knows what will happen in the future?
The academy is different, whoever dares to touch the academy, he has every legitimate reason to directly kill the other party.
Meng Zhiya saw that he insisted, so he didn't continue to persuade, but said: "The idea of running water you mentioned earlier is very good, how did you come up with this?"
Li Tan glanced at him and said, "Would you believe me if I told you that I used to live in such a place?"
Meng Zhiya was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Li Tan's special background, and said with a smile: "Of course I believe it, why don't you believe it?"
Li Tan nodded: "That's it, it's not what I thought, but the place where I lived back then is the most basic."
Meng Zhiya asked curiously: "What else is there that is not here?"
After hearing this, Li Tan was tangled up for a moment. It would be too complicated to answer this question.
There are too many things that are not there. After all, there is more than 400 years in the middle, such a long time is enough to turn the whole world upside down and transform it in an all-round way.
However, he picked up some relatively simple ones and said it again. Meng Zhiya was obviously very interested in the things he described, and the robot was probably the most interesting among them.
So after he kept asking about the robot's production method and power principle, Li Tan wanted to slap himself and make you talk too much!
For today's people, if the robot really appears, it will only be regarded as a fetish, not the kind that can easily appear in the world.
There are too many various industrial technologies and knowledge contained in it, can it be explained with one mouth?
In particular, Meng Zhiya is still a semi-professional, and in some places he often puts forward some knowledge that sounds very professional.
However... Li Tan is still an individual no matter how he cheats, it is impossible to dabble in all places!
Li Tan was overwhelmed by the question and finally said: "I don't know, I don't study these things, if you talk nonsense, I will blacklist you!"
Meng Zhiya asked: "The last question, what is the blacklist?"
Li Tan: ...
Forget it, let's go, is it to formulate a new policy, or to study how to deal with the local wealthy family?
Meng Zhiya looked at Li Tan's back very sadly, why didn't he remember so many good things?
As for whether Li Tan was talking nonsense, Meng Zhiya felt that if he could come up with a whole system of nonsense, then this person might really be a god.
As soon as Li Tan left the house, he saw Gongsun Chui hurrying over and said, "Your Majesty, report to the residence!"
Li Tan saw that his complexion was not very good, and his heart tightened immediately: "What's wrong? Did Nihu hit Chang'an?"
Gongsun Chui was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't understand why Li Tan's brain circuit turned here, he couldn't help but said: "Nihu... probably not, the imperial court has ordered people to guard against Nihu."
After hearing this, Li Tan was slightly relieved, it seemed that An Lushan hadn't gone against the sky, but since it wasn't An Lushan who fought over, what was going on with Gongsun Chui's expression?
After he took the Dibao handed over by Gongsun Chui and looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but look bad.
According to the report in the Di Bao, it has been raining continuously in Chang'an for a few days ago, and the price of rice has gradually risen. In order to curb the price of grain, the imperial court ordered [-] shi of rice from Taicang to be sold to the common people at a low price.
The princes in Beijing were very superstitious and said that there must be an unjust case, so Li Longji ordered Dali Temple and Jingzhao to execute the prisoners.
However, it was of no use. It rained continuously for 100 days, many houses in the capital were destroyed, and the prices continued to rise. Then Taicang was ordered to sell [-] million shi of rice to the common people at a low price.
At the same time, there was also heavy rain in Luoyang, even worse than in Chang'an, which directly flooded nineteen workshops.
Under such circumstances, Liangzhou basically couldn't get any relief food, and the other side was busy helping the victims.
Although Liangzhou is dry, it's not the first day that it has been dry, let alone a batch has been given before.
After reading it, Li Tan rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't apply for the scrimmage, and he was directly prepared to kill before playing, otherwise Liangzhou might really starve to death.
Although the state's water system has not been fully constructed, it has ensured that most of the cultivated land around the state capital can grow food normally.
As for other places, when the water passes, it is estimated that some other crops can be planted.
After this kind of disaster news, there are various official dispatches and battle reports.
However, the first battle report is not Tubo, Turkic, or Anlu Mountain, but Nanzhao, which has been ignored by Li Tan.
In the fifth month of summer, Luofeng, Wangge of Yunnan, led troops to invade, and Jiannan Jiedu envoy Guo Xuji was defeated and died in a fierce battle.
In May, Wuzi, with Xianyu Zhongtong as Jiannan Jiedu envoy, led [-] troops to crusade against Yunnan, and fought against Yunnan Wangge Luofeng in Luchuan. The army was defeated, and countless people died in Lushui.
In June, Li Mi, who served as a censor and stayed in Jiannan, led his troops to attack the barbarians in Yunnan at the Xi'er River. The army ran out of food, and the horse's foot fell into the bridge.
Li Tan looked at these military newspapers and felt his temples throbbing.
With so many generals and so many officers and soldiers, they managed to kneel three times in a row in Yunnan. He didn't know if Ge Luofeng was too strong, or if these people were just idiots!
After failing to defeat Ge Luofeng three times in a row, Datang's defense line in Yunnan is gradually retreating.
It's just that for the time being, it seems that they won't fight Ge Luofeng again. After all, the focus of Datang now is to destroy Anlu Mountain.
As for the matter of resisting Anlu Mountain, the generals are pretty reliable anyway, at least they feel very reliable when they see their names.
In May, Guo Ziyi was appointed as Lingwu Taishou and Shuofang Jiedu envoy.
In June, Feng Changqing was appointed as Fan Yang, Pinlu Jiedu envoy, and imperial doctor, and [-] soldiers were recruited to defend Luoyang to resist against Hu.
When Li Tan saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
He finally knew why Feng Changqing was executed by jealousy, and asking him to recruit soldiers, wouldn't it mean that the soldiers and horses were all his own?
When Feng Changqing gradually won the battle and his prestige became higher and higher, Li Longji naturally wondered whether he would become the next An Lushan!
But if Li Tan saw it, it was very stupid to ask Feng Changqing to recruit soldiers on his own.
It's just that the imperial court can't do anything now. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been killed in Nanzhao before, and now they have to defend against Tubo and Turks. There are not so many soldiers and horses at all!
Li Tan sighed, hoping he could do something then, at least to save Feng Changqing.
He looked at the military newspaper and then at the map, feeling powerless in the face of the war that was blooming everywhere.
After all, he can't interfere with these things, and there is no way to intervene. The only thing he can do now is to stick to Liangzhou. After the construction of Liangzhou is completed, wait and see if he can continue to push northward to resist Anlu Mountain.
Just when he was looking at the map of Liangzhou and thinking about where to focus the construction, Gongsun Chui said again: "My lord, there is one more thing."
Li Tan looked up at him, and Gongsun Chui said: "General Ge Shu's wind is getting worse and he has been called back to Beijing."
Li Tan was slightly surprised: "What? Why don't I know?"
Gongsun Chui said: "The news just arrived."
Li Tan waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about General Geshu's illness."
He knew that Ge Shuhan would be troubled by wind disease, and he would be left in Beijing to recuperate after he returned to Beijing after defeating Tubo.
Li Tan also made a plan. When Ge Shuhan returned, he would see him off and treat Ge Shuhan, at least to make the general less sick.
However, he didn't expect that Ge Shuhan's condition would worsen in advance. He thought for a while and said, "Prepare the horse immediately. I'll go see General Ge Shuhan."
Gongsun Chui said: "But General Geshu is already on his way back to Beijing, he left the day before yesterday."
Li Tan: ...
Although it is said that Ge Shuhan is seriously ill, he will not walk too fast on the road, but he has no reason to hurry over without eating or drinking, just to see each other.
But think about it, anyway, at the end of the year, he will return to Beijing to report on his work and celebrate the New Year, and Ge Shuhan's illness should not be delayed until then, so he will no longer be obsessed with this matter.
Li Tan sighed and said: "General Geshu is a rare good general... No, Tubo hasn't been repelled yet, who will fight Tubo after he leaves?"
Li Tan was panicked at this time, no wonder Tubo had the energy to join forces with Turk before, it turned out that it was because Ge Shuhan was seriously ill!
Gongsun Chui looked at Li Tan and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you sent a good news to Beijing a few days ago, and now the Turks have the intention of withdrawing their troops..."
Li Tan: ...
He looked down at the map, and said dully: "Actually, I really don't know how to fight!"
When Li Tan was worried, Beijing was even more gloomy. Of course, the misery that filled the entire capital was not because of the border wars. In fact, ordinary people basically didn't feel anything about these wars. What made them feel uncomfortable was this It was raining non-stop.
It was rare for Li Longji to lose the desire to have fun. He looked at the battle reports on the table, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Ge Shuhan is seriously ill, so who can take his place?"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, Li Tan defeated the Turkic victory and Lubu went to Beijing. After the riders all the way to Shengqian to present the victory, Li Longji opened it and looked at it. His brows that had not been opened for many days were instantly smoothed out, and there was even a little smile on his face. .
He smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
After saying three good words, he handed the good news to Gao Lishi beside him. After Gao Lishi opened it, he couldn't help being moved: "King Ning defeated [-] Turkic troops in Liangzhou, captured [-], and beheaded the general. Withdraw [-] troops, and the remaining troops will not be able to hold on!"
As soon as this good news came, no matter what the officials above the court thought about Li Tan, they felt relieved at this moment.
It is true that they have heard too much news about the defeat in recent days. Finally, there is a brother Shuhan who has won consecutive battles against Tubo, but he was unable to continue because of his serious illness.
Even though everyone felt that those people would not be able to reach Chang'an, and that Datang would not perish because of this, they still felt a little heavy in their hearts.
Today, such a good news can be regarded as an encouragement to everyone and cheer up everyone's spirits - even Li Tan, who has no combat experience, can beat the Turks away. They called so many experienced generals to beat An Lushan That is naturally within reach!
Li Longji even asked for a big publicity, after all, he still wanted to create an image that the sky and the dynasty were all invincible.
He even sneered and said: "An Lushan used King Ning as an excuse to side with the Qing emperor, I'm afraid it's not self-sacrifice!"
Naturally, he also had considerations in this regard when he asked for publicity. Ever since An Lushan used the Qing emperor's side as an excuse and pointed his sword at Li Tan, Concubine Yang Guifei was worried and frowning every day. Now he can finally comfort Concubine Yang Guifei.
After hearing this, Yang Guozhong rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Saint, since His Royal Highness King Ning has such talents, why not let him take over to defend against Tubo."
Li Longji was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about the terrain, he felt that the two places were indeed very close. Just as he was about to nod, he heard someone objecting: "The Turks have not completely retreated, and King Ning may be at a loss."
Yang Guozhong simply asked: "Oh? Then who do you say you sent there?"
Crowd: ...
In fact, there are not no people, but the problem is that everyone's focus is on Anlu Mountain and Nanzhao. After all, the two sides are more tense. Tubo and Turks don't need to take the initiative to attack, as long as they stick to it, it seems like letting a general pass Some waste.
Other generals naturally have them too, but the most important thing is that Li Tan now has military merits and combat experience. No one of his age can match him in this regard!
So in the end, even those who disagreed can only admit it by pinching their noses.
Li Longji immediately ordered: use Hexi Jiedu envoy Ning Wangtan and Longyou Jiedu envoy to defend Tubo.
When Li Tan received the imperial edict, he rolled up his sleeves and decided to deal with Tubo first before returning to work on his new city.
Although the imperial court let him stick to it, Li Tan felt that such a life of waiting for others to fight in fear is not human, so they should take the initiative to attack!
Anyway, he's playing tricks, as long as the Tibetans don't come out in full force, they will come and fight as many as they want!
Just when Li Tan was about to leave for Shanzhou, he suddenly received a letter from Zhu Xieli.
Zhu Xieli wrote three pages in this letter, the first two pages were all about lovesickness, and by the way, he sent an unknown plant, which was said to grow on the site of the city he chose.
On the third page, there is a very short sentence: Five days ago, Tubo sent [-] troops, and they have been repelled, so there is no need to worry, and there seems to be a gold mine in the selected site.
Li Tan: ...
Is this shit the real cheater?Sorry to bother you!
The author has something to say: Thank you for the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
Thanks to the little angel who cast [Mine]: sometimes shallow 1;
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:
From Jingzhe all the way to Shuangjiang, Yan Weiruo 10 bottles; Weiwan 4 bottles; Sometimes shallow 3 bottles; lmrabbit 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
After all, he has done so many actions recently, and the other party has not responded at all, which is too calm.
In fact, these families are not really calm, but they haven't figured out Li Tan's context yet.
First, Hatamu and He Kuan, the two young birds, were killed directly and neatly, and the Tie family was even implicated.
How long had Li Tan been in Liangzhou?A gambling shop owner and a long historian who had great influence in Liangzhou Prefecture were directly killed, and by the way, the largest family in the area was copied.
Whether the other families want to cooperate with him or oppose him, they have to wait and see first to see if he is only targeting this incident or targeting all the big forces in Liangzhou.
It's just that no one expected that after Li Tan made such a big move, he would suddenly start to calm down. It is said that he was designing the academy.
They only heard about the Langhuan Academy in Chang'an recently. After all, it is not convenient to spread the news these days. They knew that His Highness once set up an academy before, but they didn't know how big the academy was and what role it played. .
Later, after the academy had a general outline, all the families could see that His Highness was ambitious.
However, the more ambitious they are, the happier they are. Now that Liangzhou has become a Shangzhou because of Li Tan's arrival, the official position will naturally increase.
And after Li Tan killed He Kuan before, by the way, he cleaned up the state capital. From top to bottom, there were basically few people left.
Originally, the official positions in the state capital were controlled by these big families. Of course, they were not happy that Li Tan took everyone down.
It's just that even if they are unhappy, they don't dare to take any further action-officials who have entered the normal official system of Liangzhou Prefecture are all registered with the court, and some official positions are not even available to Li Tan. I have my own considerations.
But this Highness didn't know how to operate it. At most, it took a letter to type back and forth, and these officials became blank boards.
At this time, if they don't know that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is backed by the imperial court, then they will be too stupid.
Therefore, going against King Ning is tantamount to going against the court. Although these families are used to being domineering in Liangzhou, it seems that the emperor is far away from the mountains, but they don't dare to go against the court so openly.
So no matter what ideas they had before, now their policy towards Li Tan has become that they must strive for cooperation.
It's just that these people are used to being superior in the local area. Even if they want to cooperate with Li Tan, they don't intend to take the initiative to speak up. They just want to wait for Li Tan to invite him in person.
These families also have confidence. After all, Li Tan has pushed down the previous people, so is he going to re-elect officials?And there are not many literate and knowledgeable people in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, and they only count their own family members who have this ability.
The only thing to be careful about is the same other local aristocrats, after all, this can be regarded as a sudden re-division of political territory.
The local wealthy families are wary of others, even the in-laws will not fully trust them.
At this time, Yin Fang stepped forward, and he directly summoned the three local families... oh, now the two major families, and several other rich families, and said: "The situation is critical now, if the infighting continues, you and I It's dangerous."
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately understood that Yin Fang wanted to re-divide their territory before Li Tan made any move, so that when they faced King Ning, they could negotiate more calmly.
As a local wealthy family, these people have a vision, and they are relatively consistent in their anti-foreignness. What's more, all the families have basically followed the lead of the Tie family and the Yin family these years. Now that the Tie family has been directly ransacked, only the Yin family has this Qualified to host.
It's just that even if they were allies for the time being, when faced with a real conflict of interests, each of them basically refused to give an inch. In the end, it was Yin Fang's coordination, and the Yin family gave up two official positions to barely balance it.
Of course, the reason why Yin Fang is so generous is because everyone promised that Gongsun Chui will give up the position of long history, and Yin Fang's eldest son will take up the post.
In this way, the Yin family is equivalent to being in charge of the whole state, which is a bit stronger than the original Tie family. After all, although He Kuan is the son-in-law of the Tie family, he is an outsider after all.
After the discussion, everyone began to wait and see what Li Tan would do.
As a result, at this time, the Turks called, and Li Tan suddenly disappeared for a long time. When he reappeared, the Turks had the intention of retreating.
Duan Xiushi didn't know about Li Tan's absence from the state capital at first. After all, he was guarding the border town, so he naturally wouldn't know what happened in the state capital.
But for the local wealthy family who have been watching Li Tan's various movements, it is not a secret at all.
They had some guesses as to whether Li Tan had done something during this, but no one thought this guess was true.
When King Ning left, there were two people with him, one was the book boy Bakun and the other was Li Bai. What could the three of them do?
After convincing themselves that Li Tan might just go out and watch the construction progress of the academy, they felt that when the Turks retreated this time, it was almost time for Li Tan to re-elect officials.
There are two ways for Li Tan to select officials, one is to hold the examination directly in the state capital, and the other is to find a banquet for the local "family" and then get the support of the local "family", so that the work will become easier.
It's just that they waited and found that Li Tan didn't seem to have this meaning at all, and now half of the state capital is empty.
What is Ning Wang doing?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Tan suddenly personally greeted a group of scholars who came from afar.
When Yin Fang heard the news, he had a bad feeling. When he heard that these students were all graduated from Chang'an Langhuan Academy and recommended by He Zhizhang, they finally knew what Li Tan was waiting for.
They don't know the level of these students, but they do know who He Zhizhang is. After all, he is the No. [-] scholar, and he is also a famous No. [-] scholar.
To be able to catch He Zhizhang's eyes, how can these people be bad?
Even Yin Fang was a little panicked at this moment. Who would have thought that Li Tan would spend a lot of effort to transfer people from Chang'an?You are not following the rules.
However, Li Tan had done too many unruly things, and they didn't dare to criticize Li Tan, for fear that this unreasonable man would directly lead troops to wipe them out.
And even if Li Tan killed all of them, at most it would be a matter of paying some money. After all, he was a prince. Even if it was treason, he would be confined at most, and he could be put to death directly without charges.
Yin Fang could only hold another emergency meeting. The central issue was not to take Joe again. If this continued, he would have to wait for Liangzhou to completely fall into King Ning's hands.
Everyone also felt depressed, and fortunately, Yin Fang's [-]th birthday was approaching, and they somehow had a chance to send invitations to Li Tan directly.
Yin Fang personally invited Li Tan, and Li Tan also came to participate. Wouldn't everyone be happy when the two parties reconcile?
For these people's thoughts, Li Tan can still feel to some extent, but he has no intention of following these people's thoughts at all.
He threw the invitation directly and said, "No." After a pause, he continued, "Just go and prepare a birthday present."
Li Tan said that he designated a gold-plated multicolored glass cup exchanged from the mall as a birthday present.
The glazed cups were originally a pair, and Li Tan took out one to sell in order to show the preciousness of these cups. At that time, Yin Fang's eldest son happened to take pictures of them and gave them to his father as a birthday present.
Li Tan simply sent the other one over, and added a postscript to make the pair of cups a pair, which also had a good meaning.
As for the gift giver, Li Tan thought about it and directly assigned Wang Wei to go there.
In fact, Wang Wei had given them a high opinion of them in the past, but Li Tan didn't want to push them to a dead end, so he just gave them some face.
When Wang Wei sent the gold-plated and multicolored glass cup, the faces of the Yin family were very exciting from top to bottom.
No, it's not just them, it should be said that everyone at the scene looked wonderful. After all, when Yin's eldest son bought the sky-high price glass cup, everyone was still envious of the Yin family's wealth.
In the end...was it King Ning who took out the glass cup for auction?
Is this the real rich and powerful master?
Yin Fang forced a smile and said: "Young Lao Wang Changshi went there personally. I didn't know that this glass cup belonged to His Royal Highness before, so I took a photo of it. His Highness only took out one for auction. Obviously, he cherishes this glass very much. I am also not good at taking people's love, so I will send it back in person on a certain day."
Yin Fang's words clearly and secretly express Li Tan's meaning of auctioning off his precious things because he has no money. As for why he has no money... Isn't he building an academy?It must be because of this!
Wang Wei had a proper smile on his face, and said lightly: "You are too polite, the old man. The reason why the king only auctioned off a glass cup is because this one was thrown somewhere before. Now I found it. It just so happened Hearing that your son gave the other one to the old man as a birthday present, the king ordered me to bring it, as a sign of reunion, and wish the old man a happy birthday."
The smile on Yin Fang's face couldn't be held back. When he received the glass cup before, he put it away with great care, intending to keep it as a family heirloom.
In the end, it turned out to be something that was thrown away at King Ning's place?At this moment, he suddenly thought that in the auction back then, almost all the items auctioned were glass products, and this cup was indeed not the highest price.
This cup and the rest of the items are obviously in the same style. Could it be...all from the hands of King Ning?
Thinking of this, Yin Fang couldn't help gasping. How much money does King Ning have?
It's not too much to say that the rich can rival the country, right?
Yin Fang's mind turned quickly, and he woke up in an instant. He just wanted to politely send Wang Wei away first, and then analyze how much His Royal Highness King Ning is hiding.
It's just that he can understand clearly, but there are always things that he can't understand. A middle-aged man with a big belly said angrily: "Your Highness King Ning is so ungrateful for using disposable items as birthday gifts, to be so contemptuous of the aristocratic family."
Wang Zhen glanced at him: "Aristocratic family? Who is the son of the aristocratic family? What is the family? What page is it on the genealogy?"
Crowd: ...
Hit people without slapping their faces, and swear without exposing them!
If these people really have a place on the family tree, why would they need to pretend to be the family?
The man's face was a little hesitant, and he sneered and said: "There are hundreds of families recorded on the genealogy, do you remember all of them?"
Wang Wei glanced at him and said, "This is a lesson that you must learn since childhood, what's the matter? Don't you learn it?"
Learning is learning, but no one really remembers it so clearly.
Yin Fang felt that since the Chief of the Palace, Shi, was sent out, there must be something special about him. After all, King Ning would definitely not let his own people be humiliated.
He was different from the arrogance of that person just now, and asked politely: "I don't know where you are from?"
The middle-aged man suddenly regained his spirits, that's right, you are not a real family if you run on us, so just talk about yourself.
Wang Wei smiled slightly and said: "My surname is Wang, and I am from the Wang family of Hedong."
Everyone: Hedong Wang family? ! ! !
Is this really a family member?
And it's not a small family.
Although the Hedong Wang family is not as famous as the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family, it is still a very well-established family. If you look back, the ancestor is the famous Qiqiao Linglongxin Bigan.
After everyone learned about Wang Wei's family, they were dumbfounded for a moment, and they lowered their heads unconsciously. After all, Wang Wei is a real family. Even if he is not outstanding in other things, just this surname can overwhelm everyone.
Seeing the faces of those people, Wang Wei suddenly understood why Li Tan sent him here.
He said that since Li Tan didn't come, why did he give such a precious gift? He actually wanted to use his family background to slap him in the face!
Wang Wei couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he still did enough courtesy, at least he couldn't lose the face of the Hedong Wang family.
After Wang Wei left, the middle-aged man flushed with anger, and said repeatedly: "What's the point, what's the point!"
Yin Fang sighed, and suddenly, as if he was ten years older, he said with some disinterestedness: "It seems that Your Highness doesn't intend to wait for me anymore."
The middle-aged man said: "Does he really think that he can control Liangzhou by replacing those officials with his own people? In this state capital, our industries are all over the city, so what can he do?"
Everyone was stunned and felt that this was the same reason. After all, no matter how many policies Li Tan promulgated, they would not cooperate when they were implemented. What could Li Tan do?
Yin Fang also lifted his spirits and said, "Before, I was too conservative and let this... underestimate us. Now it's time for him to see our strength!"
Everyone nodded again and again, and everyone remembered the matter of being slapped in the face just now, although they knew in their hearts that their family was not a real family.
However, after so many years, what they received in Liangzhou was the treatment of the aristocratic family. As a result, Li Tan sent Wang Wei over. Although Wang Wei didn't say anything, his existence was Chi Guoguo's mockery!
While these people were discussing how they would not cooperate in the future and how they would hinder Li Tan's work, Li Tan was listening to Wang Wei's report on what had happened.
After learning that those people were ridiculed, Li Tan couldn't help but smile: "Hmph, a group of local turtles still want to pretend to be a family."
It's fine to pretend to be a family, but you still want to take Joe with him?Get out of here!
Of course Li Tan focused on the end, but what he said was the previous excuse, after all, he could resonate with the people present.
The people under him, Wang Wei and Du Fu needless to say, are from aristocratic families, and Du Fu's family background is not considered prominent, but his mother is from the Cui family, even if it is a side branch, it is not something ordinary families can marry.
Even Chen Chong was born in a family, probably only Gongsun Chui and Li Bai were not born well.
It's just that these two people have also received orthodox education, and they can accept such views.
After laughing, Gongsun Chui said: "My lord, these people are narrow-minded, and I'm afraid they will embarrass us in the future."
Li Tan said: "How can they be in a difficult situation? Are they needed to fight the Turks, or are they needed to build a new city?"
Gongsun Chui was helpless: "Not to mention anything else, taxes will be collected in autumn. If they delay in collecting taxes, it will be enough."
Yes, as long as they procrastinate, Li Tan can give the court an impression that he is not doing well. After all, it takes so long for a simple tax, so it is natural that the governor is incompetent?
What?The local people do not cooperate?That would make the governor even more unpopular.
Li Tan wasn't worried at all, he called Meng Zhiya over and asked, "How is the construction of the new city going?"
Meng Zhiya Shiyu looked at him and asked, "Do you think I know magic? The kind that can build a city with just a few words?"
Urge him to go on strike again!
Seeing that he was going to blow his hair, Li Tan quickly waved his hands and said, "I came here to ask you. Let's pick some key constructions first, and build the living area first. It doesn't have to be complete. Let's divide the areas one by one. .”
In Li Tan's vision, this city is like a city for future generations, including different administrative districts. Each administrative district has its own commercial center and supporting living facilities, and the city center is naturally the most prosperous and comprehensive.
Now Li Tan's request is to build the city center first, and the supporting residential areas, commercial areas, and administrative areas. As long as these three are built first, they can be moved in one after another.
After hearing this, Meng Zhiya thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, it's okay to expand from the center a little bit, but in this case, there is room for splicing in many places, such as sewer pipes, this ...I'll look back and think about it."
When Li Tan heard the word "sinking into the water", he originally thought about getting tap water, but he swallowed the words again.
Tap water needs a water pumping station, and the water pumping station involves water pumps and power machines. Not to mention the power machine, water pumps involve too many, and there are dozens or twenty types of them according to their uses. I want to research this thing out. However, even if Li Tan could provide theoretical knowledge, it would be difficult to do to a certain extent, because the industrial processing these days is still too rough.
The precision of many parts can't meet the standard at all. Li Tan thought for a while, in order to be able to use the flush toilet as soon as possible, he felt that he should focus on researching this aspect first.
If there is need, there will be motivation. Li Tan is very motivated when he thinks of being able to live a life with running water and flush toilets.
Seeing that Li Tan knew what was in his mind, Meng Zhiya explained to him the progress of the academy's construction.
Compared with the city, the construction of the academy is much simpler. Although it occupies a large area, it looks like a small city, but it only has the most basic living facilities inside - dormitories, teaching buildings, and other various needs. venues and laboratories.
There is nothing else but these, and the city will have various functional buildings and commercial areas.
Li Tan took a look at the progress of the academy, calculated it, and said with a smile, "This way, it will be put into use in autumn."
Meng Zhiya nodded and asked, "Are you really planning to put the spring in the academy instead of the city?"
No matter how you look at it, it is better to put it in the city.
Li Tan hesitated for a while but insisted: "Let's put it in the academy."
Although the city was built by him, it will definitely be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the future. Li Tan has never planned to stand on his own.
The reason for building this city was just to re-establish a Liangzhou system headed by him. In the final analysis, he felt that the situation in Liangzhou was too complicated, so he planned to break it and then establish it.
But in the future, when the Anshi Rebellion is over, this city may welcome other ruling officials and put the spring here. Who knows what will happen in the future?
The academy is different, whoever dares to touch the academy, he has every legitimate reason to directly kill the other party.
Meng Zhiya saw that he insisted, so he didn't continue to persuade, but said: "The idea of running water you mentioned earlier is very good, how did you come up with this?"
Li Tan glanced at him and said, "Would you believe me if I told you that I used to live in such a place?"
Meng Zhiya was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Li Tan's special background, and said with a smile: "Of course I believe it, why don't you believe it?"
Li Tan nodded: "That's it, it's not what I thought, but the place where I lived back then is the most basic."
Meng Zhiya asked curiously: "What else is there that is not here?"
After hearing this, Li Tan was tangled up for a moment. It would be too complicated to answer this question.
There are too many things that are not there. After all, there is more than 400 years in the middle, such a long time is enough to turn the whole world upside down and transform it in an all-round way.
However, he picked up some relatively simple ones and said it again. Meng Zhiya was obviously very interested in the things he described, and the robot was probably the most interesting among them.
So after he kept asking about the robot's production method and power principle, Li Tan wanted to slap himself and make you talk too much!
For today's people, if the robot really appears, it will only be regarded as a fetish, not the kind that can easily appear in the world.
There are too many various industrial technologies and knowledge contained in it, can it be explained with one mouth?
In particular, Meng Zhiya is still a semi-professional, and in some places he often puts forward some knowledge that sounds very professional.
However... Li Tan is still an individual no matter how he cheats, it is impossible to dabble in all places!
Li Tan was overwhelmed by the question and finally said: "I don't know, I don't study these things, if you talk nonsense, I will blacklist you!"
Meng Zhiya asked: "The last question, what is the blacklist?"
Li Tan: ...
Forget it, let's go, is it to formulate a new policy, or to study how to deal with the local wealthy family?
Meng Zhiya looked at Li Tan's back very sadly, why didn't he remember so many good things?
As for whether Li Tan was talking nonsense, Meng Zhiya felt that if he could come up with a whole system of nonsense, then this person might really be a god.
As soon as Li Tan left the house, he saw Gongsun Chui hurrying over and said, "Your Majesty, report to the residence!"
Li Tan saw that his complexion was not very good, and his heart tightened immediately: "What's wrong? Did Nihu hit Chang'an?"
Gongsun Chui was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't understand why Li Tan's brain circuit turned here, he couldn't help but said: "Nihu... probably not, the imperial court has ordered people to guard against Nihu."
After hearing this, Li Tan was slightly relieved, it seemed that An Lushan hadn't gone against the sky, but since it wasn't An Lushan who fought over, what was going on with Gongsun Chui's expression?
After he took the Dibao handed over by Gongsun Chui and looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but look bad.
According to the report in the Di Bao, it has been raining continuously in Chang'an for a few days ago, and the price of rice has gradually risen. In order to curb the price of grain, the imperial court ordered [-] shi of rice from Taicang to be sold to the common people at a low price.
The princes in Beijing were very superstitious and said that there must be an unjust case, so Li Longji ordered Dali Temple and Jingzhao to execute the prisoners.
However, it was of no use. It rained continuously for 100 days, many houses in the capital were destroyed, and the prices continued to rise. Then Taicang was ordered to sell [-] million shi of rice to the common people at a low price.
At the same time, there was also heavy rain in Luoyang, even worse than in Chang'an, which directly flooded nineteen workshops.
Under such circumstances, Liangzhou basically couldn't get any relief food, and the other side was busy helping the victims.
Although Liangzhou is dry, it's not the first day that it has been dry, let alone a batch has been given before.
After reading it, Li Tan rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't apply for the scrimmage, and he was directly prepared to kill before playing, otherwise Liangzhou might really starve to death.
Although the state's water system has not been fully constructed, it has ensured that most of the cultivated land around the state capital can grow food normally.
As for other places, when the water passes, it is estimated that some other crops can be planted.
After this kind of disaster news, there are various official dispatches and battle reports.
However, the first battle report is not Tubo, Turkic, or Anlu Mountain, but Nanzhao, which has been ignored by Li Tan.
In the fifth month of summer, Luofeng, Wangge of Yunnan, led troops to invade, and Jiannan Jiedu envoy Guo Xuji was defeated and died in a fierce battle.
In May, Wuzi, with Xianyu Zhongtong as Jiannan Jiedu envoy, led [-] troops to crusade against Yunnan, and fought against Yunnan Wangge Luofeng in Luchuan. The army was defeated, and countless people died in Lushui.
In June, Li Mi, who served as a censor and stayed in Jiannan, led his troops to attack the barbarians in Yunnan at the Xi'er River. The army ran out of food, and the horse's foot fell into the bridge.
Li Tan looked at these military newspapers and felt his temples throbbing.
With so many generals and so many officers and soldiers, they managed to kneel three times in a row in Yunnan. He didn't know if Ge Luofeng was too strong, or if these people were just idiots!
After failing to defeat Ge Luofeng three times in a row, Datang's defense line in Yunnan is gradually retreating.
It's just that for the time being, it seems that they won't fight Ge Luofeng again. After all, the focus of Datang now is to destroy Anlu Mountain.
As for the matter of resisting Anlu Mountain, the generals are pretty reliable anyway, at least they feel very reliable when they see their names.
In May, Guo Ziyi was appointed as Lingwu Taishou and Shuofang Jiedu envoy.
In June, Feng Changqing was appointed as Fan Yang, Pinlu Jiedu envoy, and imperial doctor, and [-] soldiers were recruited to defend Luoyang to resist against Hu.
When Li Tan saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
He finally knew why Feng Changqing was executed by jealousy, and asking him to recruit soldiers, wouldn't it mean that the soldiers and horses were all his own?
When Feng Changqing gradually won the battle and his prestige became higher and higher, Li Longji naturally wondered whether he would become the next An Lushan!
But if Li Tan saw it, it was very stupid to ask Feng Changqing to recruit soldiers on his own.
It's just that the imperial court can't do anything now. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been killed in Nanzhao before, and now they have to defend against Tubo and Turks. There are not so many soldiers and horses at all!
Li Tan sighed, hoping he could do something then, at least to save Feng Changqing.
He looked at the military newspaper and then at the map, feeling powerless in the face of the war that was blooming everywhere.
After all, he can't interfere with these things, and there is no way to intervene. The only thing he can do now is to stick to Liangzhou. After the construction of Liangzhou is completed, wait and see if he can continue to push northward to resist Anlu Mountain.
Just when he was looking at the map of Liangzhou and thinking about where to focus the construction, Gongsun Chui said again: "My lord, there is one more thing."
Li Tan looked up at him, and Gongsun Chui said: "General Ge Shu's wind is getting worse and he has been called back to Beijing."
Li Tan was slightly surprised: "What? Why don't I know?"
Gongsun Chui said: "The news just arrived."
Li Tan waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about General Geshu's illness."
He knew that Ge Shuhan would be troubled by wind disease, and he would be left in Beijing to recuperate after he returned to Beijing after defeating Tubo.
Li Tan also made a plan. When Ge Shuhan returned, he would see him off and treat Ge Shuhan, at least to make the general less sick.
However, he didn't expect that Ge Shuhan's condition would worsen in advance. He thought for a while and said, "Prepare the horse immediately. I'll go see General Ge Shuhan."
Gongsun Chui said: "But General Geshu is already on his way back to Beijing, he left the day before yesterday."
Li Tan: ...
Although it is said that Ge Shuhan is seriously ill, he will not walk too fast on the road, but he has no reason to hurry over without eating or drinking, just to see each other.
But think about it, anyway, at the end of the year, he will return to Beijing to report on his work and celebrate the New Year, and Ge Shuhan's illness should not be delayed until then, so he will no longer be obsessed with this matter.
Li Tan sighed and said: "General Geshu is a rare good general... No, Tubo hasn't been repelled yet, who will fight Tubo after he leaves?"
Li Tan was panicked at this time, no wonder Tubo had the energy to join forces with Turk before, it turned out that it was because Ge Shuhan was seriously ill!
Gongsun Chui looked at Li Tan and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you sent a good news to Beijing a few days ago, and now the Turks have the intention of withdrawing their troops..."
Li Tan: ...
He looked down at the map, and said dully: "Actually, I really don't know how to fight!"
When Li Tan was worried, Beijing was even more gloomy. Of course, the misery that filled the entire capital was not because of the border wars. In fact, ordinary people basically didn't feel anything about these wars. What made them feel uncomfortable was this It was raining non-stop.
It was rare for Li Longji to lose the desire to have fun. He looked at the battle reports on the table, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Ge Shuhan is seriously ill, so who can take his place?"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, Li Tan defeated the Turkic victory and Lubu went to Beijing. After the riders all the way to Shengqian to present the victory, Li Longji opened it and looked at it. His brows that had not been opened for many days were instantly smoothed out, and there was even a little smile on his face. .
He smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
After saying three good words, he handed the good news to Gao Lishi beside him. After Gao Lishi opened it, he couldn't help being moved: "King Ning defeated [-] Turkic troops in Liangzhou, captured [-], and beheaded the general. Withdraw [-] troops, and the remaining troops will not be able to hold on!"
As soon as this good news came, no matter what the officials above the court thought about Li Tan, they felt relieved at this moment.
It is true that they have heard too much news about the defeat in recent days. Finally, there is a brother Shuhan who has won consecutive battles against Tubo, but he was unable to continue because of his serious illness.
Even though everyone felt that those people would not be able to reach Chang'an, and that Datang would not perish because of this, they still felt a little heavy in their hearts.
Today, such a good news can be regarded as an encouragement to everyone and cheer up everyone's spirits - even Li Tan, who has no combat experience, can beat the Turks away. They called so many experienced generals to beat An Lushan That is naturally within reach!
Li Longji even asked for a big publicity, after all, he still wanted to create an image that the sky and the dynasty were all invincible.
He even sneered and said: "An Lushan used King Ning as an excuse to side with the Qing emperor, I'm afraid it's not self-sacrifice!"
Naturally, he also had considerations in this regard when he asked for publicity. Ever since An Lushan used the Qing emperor's side as an excuse and pointed his sword at Li Tan, Concubine Yang Guifei was worried and frowning every day. Now he can finally comfort Concubine Yang Guifei.
After hearing this, Yang Guozhong rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Saint, since His Royal Highness King Ning has such talents, why not let him take over to defend against Tubo."
Li Longji was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about the terrain, he felt that the two places were indeed very close. Just as he was about to nod, he heard someone objecting: "The Turks have not completely retreated, and King Ning may be at a loss."
Yang Guozhong simply asked: "Oh? Then who do you say you sent there?"
Crowd: ...
In fact, there are not no people, but the problem is that everyone's focus is on Anlu Mountain and Nanzhao. After all, the two sides are more tense. Tubo and Turks don't need to take the initiative to attack, as long as they stick to it, it seems like letting a general pass Some waste.
Other generals naturally have them too, but the most important thing is that Li Tan now has military merits and combat experience. No one of his age can match him in this regard!
So in the end, even those who disagreed can only admit it by pinching their noses.
Li Longji immediately ordered: use Hexi Jiedu envoy Ning Wangtan and Longyou Jiedu envoy to defend Tubo.
When Li Tan received the imperial edict, he rolled up his sleeves and decided to deal with Tubo first before returning to work on his new city.
Although the imperial court let him stick to it, Li Tan felt that such a life of waiting for others to fight in fear is not human, so they should take the initiative to attack!
Anyway, he's playing tricks, as long as the Tibetans don't come out in full force, they will come and fight as many as they want!
Just when Li Tan was about to leave for Shanzhou, he suddenly received a letter from Zhu Xieli.
Zhu Xieli wrote three pages in this letter, the first two pages were all about lovesickness, and by the way, he sent an unknown plant, which was said to grow on the site of the city he chose.
On the third page, there is a very short sentence: Five days ago, Tubo sent [-] troops, and they have been repelled, so there is no need to worry, and there seems to be a gold mine in the selected site.
Li Tan: ...
