Li Tan thought for a while and said, "What do you want from them? A new territory? Or the head of Usumish?"

Zhu Xieli said calmly: "Usumish and them are not in the same group. I will naturally take his head, and there is no need for Turk to agree."

Li Tan asked, "Then what else? Slaves? Gold, silver and jewelry?"

Zhu Xieli smiled and said: "No, I just ask that if Shatuo can defeat Tubo, Turkic will bow down to Shatuo."

Li Tanyi dropped the dish on the table before his chopsticks reached his mouth. He stared at him dumbfounded, and couldn't believe his ears.

After regaining his senses, he calculated the territory of the Turks, and found that the territory of the Turks was almost three times larger than that of Shatuo.

As for the population, it can be no more than three times, and it can be four or five times more. In this case, Zhu Xieli asked the Turks to bow to him.

Li Tan asked earnestly, "Is Khan Jiediyishi mad?"

Zhu Xieli didn't care either: "I don't care if he's crazy or not. It's fine if he doesn't want to. Let's see if he can beat Tubo. When Tubo beats him to the point where he is homeless, then Tubo wants to occupy such a place." A large territory can only keep sending people here, but how many people are there in Tubo? How can it be possible to control so much land? Anyway, the problem will be highlighted sooner or later. I haven't accepted it yet."

Li Tanxin said okay, you are more ruthless than me.

He originally thought that Zhu Xieli would take the opportunity to expand Shatuo's territory. As for whether Turks would turn their backs after defeating Tubo, that's another matter, but he didn't expect Zhu Xieli to speak so dare.

However, as Zhu Xieli said, Shatuo has no loss if the Turks agree or not, and it will be fine to take advantage of the fire.

The next day, Li Tan conducted an experiment. They didn't have kerosene on hand, but the effect of burning oil was similar, so he directly used lard instead.

The fire extinguishing effect of dry powder is good. After seeing it, Zhu Xieli asked: "What if the other party throws kerosene on the city wall?"

Li Tan turned to look at him: "Have we fallen to the point where we need to stick to the city?"

If you have a fire extinguisher and don't take the initiative to attack, do you still have to wait for someone to call the door?

Zhu Xieli coughed lightly, and He Zhizhang couldn't bear to look at it and said, "Your Majesty is just putting forward an idea."

He Zhizhang glanced at Li Tan while talking, anyway, you are regarded as his subordinate in name, in front of so many people, you should save some face for him.

Li Tan said bluntly: "That requires the development of foam fire extinguishers. Dry powder is difficult to fix on the wall, so it is best not to fight near the city wall at present, that is to say, take the initiative to attack."

Zhu Xieli nodded: "Okay, I understand, if it's too late, just give up that city."

Li Tan thought for a while: "Turkic cities can do this."

This time it wasn't just He Zhizhang, even the others couldn't stand it anymore and collectively coughed.

Although everyone thinks this way, they can't just say that, they still want to rule the world with benevolence.

Even Shatuo is also a Turkic branch, but since they have re-identified their ancestors and tried their best to get closer to the Central Plains, then they have to learn the good things about the Central Plains.

Li Tan glanced at them, and while everyone was not paying attention, he turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Zhu Xieli. Zhu Xieli stopped smiling, turned his head and said to Jingzhong Wang Zhu Xiemao: "Go to the army. , ready to go at any time."

Zhu Xiemao saluted him and said, "Yes."

After the demonstration was over, Li Tan and Zhu Xieli basically parted ways. Zhu Xieli needed to deal with national political affairs, while Li Tan needed to watch the progress of the city's construction.

He found that he should have persuaded Zhu Xieli to move the capital a long time ago, and now he doesn't have to deal with many things, so happy monkey!

Meng Zhiya was following Li Tan. On the way, he asked, "Your Majesty, although the bureaucratic system has been changed, isn't it... still a bit out of order?"

Li Tan turned to look at him and asked, "How?"

Meng Zhiya said seriously: "Civil affairs should be under the management of the Political Affairs Hall. Now that the king is in charge of the third division, isn't this inappropriate?"

Li Tan responded: "Oh, this, Bei'an has been handed over to the Zhengshitang, which means that what I want to manage now is only Piyu City. Because the academic and political aspects have also been independent, it still belongs to the government. I take care of it."

Meng Zhiya was stunned for a moment: "But... if there is a problem with Bei'an, you still need to look for me."

Li Tan said: "Of course it's up to you. You are now under the name of Zhengshitang. If you don't want me, who can I look for?"

Meng Zhiya: ...

What a crime he did.

After wiping his face, he asked again: "Then... now that the Han Chinese occupy half of the country, isn't it... not very good?"

Li Tan glanced at him and said, "This question is what Mr. He and the others want to ask, right?"

Meng Zhiya nodded, and it was not surprising that Li Tan thought of him, although everyone knew that since they were all from the same country, Zhu Xieli did not discriminate against Han people and treated them equally, so there should be no distinction between Han people and Shatuo people.

But now it is obviously not to that point. He Zhizhang, who has been in the court of the Tang Dynasty, knows the importance of balance in the court.

They are worried that now Zhu Xieli obviously believes in Li Tan, or needs Li Tan, so they are willing to give Li Tan preferential treatment, and they are also willing to give preferential treatment to Li Tan's subordinates.

But what about the future?Rulers are suspicious. What if Zhu Xieli thinks that Li Tan is powerful in the future and wants to move him?

Now the two are in a good relationship, but no one dares to bet that the two of them will have a good relationship for a lifetime.

Li Tan said directly: "Let them not worry. Let me say it bluntly. Although Mr. He is the prime minister, he is not the only one who has the final say in the political affairs hall, and he is probably going to retire soon. Now Yin Xing I just want this old man to come over to help suppress the situation. Don’t you think the Privy Council is his? The Political Affairs Hall is divided halfway, and the Privy Council is also divided into half. Except for the third division, the third division...is quite special."

Shatuo people may be good at war and can learn civil affairs, but in terms of finances, even Zhu Xieli can barely get started.

Li Tan is indeed not very good at economics, but he can check, if he has any questions, he can directly check the system, and he can find any answer!

For 5000 years in China, taking history as a mirror can really avoid detours, not to mention that they have not yet reached the point where they need to explore and move forward to create a new system.

Therefore, a large part of the people in the third division were selected by Li Tan from the graduates of the academy.

Although they are young, Li Tan will not make them do wrong things if Li Tan watches over them. Once these people are cultivated, Li Tan reckons that San Si can let him go.

From now on, he will be in charge of academic administration, which is good for everyone.

He believes that Zhu Xieli will not doubt him, but other people believe in Zhu Xieli, but they may not necessarily believe in Zhu Xieli's judgment, so he can't make it difficult for Zhu Xieli, and retreat when necessary.

What's more, after so many years of ups and downs, he is not very old, but his heart is tired.

It seems that it is impossible to realize the promise of traveling around the world in the future. When going to Datang, you have to report to the Tang Dynasty first, and then bring people according to the regulations, which is quite annoying.

Li Tan thought all the way back to the palace, looked at the construction progress of the academy in his special study, and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Why is the speed so much faster?"

The current completion progress is at least two months earlier than he calculated.

He looked at Meng Zhiya warily and asked, "There won't be a tofu project?"

Meng Zhiya was taken aback: "What?"

Li Tan explained the tofu dregs project, and Meng Zhiya couldn't laugh or cry and said: "No, no, you don't know, my lord, those slaves didn't know what kind of life they lived before. Now this kind of life seems to us Hard and tiring days are like Chinese New Year for them. Before I saw them working hard, I said that as long as you work hard, you can have enough food. Later, they worked very hard and forced their progress forward Driven a lot."

Li Tan was also stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Just having a full meal makes them so excited?"

Meng Zhiya said: "Well, one is to be able to eat enough, and the other is...the food here is good, and there is bone soup for them to drink from time to time. They are still very conflicted and ask if the city is finished? They didn’t have this kind of food to eat, and they also said that they did more work than this before, but they didn’t have enough to eat.”

Li Tan: ...

Although he has never had a good impression of Turkic, the Turkic slaves have been too miserable, so miserable that he can't bear to exploit them.

Li Tan had been studying how to convert slaves to civilians before, but after they were transferred, they would definitely be discriminated against if they lived with ordinary people, and it was not appropriate to allocate a city for them alone.

Finally, he thought for a while and said, "You can tell them that those who performed outstandingly during the construction of the city can be granted good citizenship in the future."

The elimination of slavery also needs to be done little by little. It cannot be done overnight. Not only these Turkic slaves, but also many Shatuo slaves and Han slaves are also building cities. It is best to treat them equally.

Meng Zhiya smiled and said, "Hey, maybe it will be a month earlier."

Li Tan warned: "Don't worry about anything else, you must ensure the quality."

Meng Zhiya gave him a knowing expression and left, while Li Tan started... copying books.

Yes, copying books. When Langhuan Academy was burned, Li Tan restored all those ancient books to comfort He Zhizhang.

Now the new academy is about to have a Tongtian Pagoda, and there are more books in full bloom than the original Langhuan Book Pavilion, so some books that Li Tan did not copy when the Langhuan Book Pavilion was established before, this time he simply copied all of them go in.

As for why the name of Langhuan Book Pavilion was not inherited, one is that Langhuan Academy is still there, and the other is that taking books is the ladder of human progress.

When a person can read from the first level to the last level, then he is the person who has the deepest understanding of the nature of the world at the moment.

The Tongtian Tower has nineteen floors, and each floor is three meters high. It is not the tallest building in the world, but Li Tan thinks that this tower is definitely more meaningful than the Mingtang of Heaven.

And because science and technology are the reason for continuous progress, Li Tan once wanted Meng Zhiya to design a building that could be continuously added in a whimsical way. When the books on the top floor were full, he would add another layer to the top.

But in the end, under the eyes of Meng Zhiya who was about to kill the master, Li Tan resolutely withdrew the proposal.

Then he had no choice but to make a rule that after a certain theorem was overturned, the books related to this part of the theorem would be withdrawn from the tower, so as to ensure the continuation of the internal space of Tongtian Tower.

Anyway, the progress of science is carried out by constantly subverting the experience of the predecessors.

As the Academy is a place specially prepared for study, Li Tan directly divided the interior of the Academy into twelve parts, one of which is a separate military academy, and the remaining eight are various subjects, such as literature, mathematics, and chemistry. , physics and the like, he directly eliminated the high school subjects except politics and information technology, and made these eight subjects.

As for what to do when these two subjects need to be set up in the future, Li Tan said that it is something that people need to struggle with later. It is impossible for him to perfect things all at once and not need to move after a thousand years, not to mention that he is already working hard to promote science. develop.

Who knows what the future will look like?

These eight parts are equivalent to separate colleges, and each college will offer various subjects according to the situation. The tenth part is the office location and housing of the management personnel. The No.11 part is the residence of the service personnel. No.12 Some are markets.

The location of the school is quite special, there are no cities or villages nearby, of course, if people gather in the future, a village may be formed, but not now.

According to Li Tan's regulations, students studying in the academy cannot easily leave the academy except for vacations, unless there is a leave request and they need to go home or something like that.

In this way, the items needed by the students in their daily life must be guaranteed to a certain extent. The Academy will provide simple accommodation and meals, but it is also necessary for these students to have a place to relax after studying. The existence of the market is very necessary.

It can even form a second-hand market, allowing students to exchange things they don't use with each other.

Li Tan thought further and further, and then was approached by Du Fu.

After He Zhizhang became the prime minister, he automatically resigned from the post of deputy head of the academy, and Li Tan turned around and arranged for Du Fu.

It's not that Du Fu can't enter the Zhengshitang, but just as He Zhizhang and the others were worried, there are too many people in the Zhengshitang now, a total of eight people, He Zhizhang, Gongsun Chui, Li Bai, Yan Zhenqing, this occupies four seats, and there is another one It's about to tip the balance.

Anyway, strictly speaking, Li Tan now has no fiefs and no taxes, and Du Fu's national decree is also a bit idle, and he is about to compete with Chang Shi Wang for work.

The four ministers under the Zhengshitang were fine, but the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry were occupied by Wang Wei and Meng Zhiya. Meng Zhiya, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was definitely irreplaceable.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment are two, and the Ministry of Officials is not suitable for it. According to the Ministry of Punishment... Du Fu did not show his talent in this area, so Li Tan turned around and threw him to the academy to deal with affairs.

Anyway, when He Zhizhang was in a bad mood, Du Fu often helped him. He used to be able to get started without getting used to it.

And Du Fu didn't feel aggrieved. In his mind, as long as the education part was firmly in his hands, their king would be invincible.

Even if someone wants to touch him in the future, he has to weigh whether he can offend the scholars in the Manchu Dynasty.

If you look at it this way, he is managing the capital for his family's king to live and live. It really needs a confidant to manage.

So Du Fu attaches great importance to this.

Li Tan looked up at Du Fu and asked, "What's wrong? What happened to the academy?"

Du Fu asked: "Your Majesty, there have been rumors recently that Zhu Academy will be abandoned in the future, and everyone will move to the Academy to continue their studies. Is it true?"

Li Tan was inexplicable: "You see me every day, when did I say such a thing?"

Du Fu said: "Many students in the academy are discussing it now, making them feel impetuous. I think I need to tell them specifically."

The main reason is that the news that the school is about to be built has spread, but no one knows how to arrange it.

Even Li Tan had just allocated the various positions in the academy, and it turned out that because of this, gossip was flying everywhere.

Li Tan sneered and said, "What does it have to do with them? A group of babies who haven't learned how to walk want to start running? Let them stay calm. The Academy is a place for advanced studies and special study of knowledge. There will be an admissions exam every year. Knowledge is not enough. If they meet the standard, even if the academy is empty, they won’t be allowed to enter, if they want to enter, just study honestly!”

After Li Tan finished speaking, he suddenly said: "Well, after the academy is fully built, I will organize the students of the academy to visit. The fifth floor will be open, but only in an orderly manner, and the books inside are not allowed to be seen."

Allowing these people to feel the majesty, solemnity and environment of the school palace may be able to inspire the self-motivation of those students.

Li Tan is very confident about the environment of the academy. Each college has a different style. The art college is beautiful, the liberal arts college is romantic, the sciences are neat and rigorous with an industrial aesthetic, the foreign language college is full of exotic customs, and the military college is clean and tidy. Atmospheric, the most common is probably the residential area, but the houses are also small and exquisite.

If it is really built according to Li Tan's vision, this academy will not only be the only city in the world dedicated to the study of learning, but will soon become the most advanced and beautiful city in the world.

Neither Chang'an nor Liangzhou Prefecture can compare.

After all, the functions are different. There are civilian areas and slum areas in both places, but the Academy does not exist.

Li Tan was excited to see such a city rising from the ground in his lifetime.

However, he began to calculate whether the anniversary of Li Longji and Li Heng was approaching, and he happened to go back at that time, one was to participate in the anniversary, and the other was to recruit people.

This recruitment is not for recruiting students, but for recruiting teachers. After all, the top talents he trained were all in Datang.

Now that he thinks about it, there are not enough teachers in the Academy. Anyway, there are so many talents in Datang, it’s time to introduce them. It’s really not possible... You can also be seconded, and you can return them after signing a document. Pierce: Of course, if those gentlemen don’t Don't blame him if you want to go back.

Li Tan turned to look for Zhu Xieli, only to find that Zhu Xieli was in a meeting with the Privy Council. He originally wanted to wait outside, but Zhu Xieli asked him to be invited in directly.

As soon as Li Tan entered, he found that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, but it got better after he entered.

Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe immediately got up to salute, which made King Jingzhong get up either because he couldn't get up or not. Later, he thought about it, although Li Tan didn't have the name of queen, he was actually the queen. His cousin's wife, he still had to Those who saluted, so they also got up.

After he stood up, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief—thanks to his quick reaction, his brother got up and walked down to meet King Ning, and if the others were still sitting in their seats, they might be charged for turning around.

You must know that they just made Zhu Xieli unhappy.

Li Tan nodded to everyone, turned to look at Zhu Xieli and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xieli smiled: "We are discussing the time to dispatch troops."

Li Tan said: "Send troops? Why is it next year? It's freezing cold now, Tubo doesn't care, I still feel sorry for our soldiers."

Because of the geographical location, it gets cold early here, and the temperature in the Central Plains is just not too hot and cold, so they are already sorting out the mink fur that they need to wear in winter.

Zhu Xieli didn't say a word, Jingzhong Wang Zhu Xiemao finally couldn't help but said: "The king's intention is to send troops next month!"

Li Tan turned to look at Zhu Xieli, next month... the ninth month of the lunar calendar, how did this ghost come up with this idea?

Seeing Li Tan's unfriendly expression, Zhu Xieli smiled and said, "I just want to finish the fight as soon as possible, so as not to worry about the New Year. What if Tubo doesn't pass the New Year?"

Li Tan said bluntly: "It's not a new year in Tubo, so that's something Turk should worry about. Why are you joining in the fun?"

After hearing this, King Jingzhong wanted to give Li Tan a thumbs up. He could see that, if Zhu Xieli had any unreliable ideas in the future, he would go to his sister-in-law, and the Queen Mother would be useless!

After making this decision, King Jingzhong suddenly felt something was wrong—the generation was wrong, Princess Yuanan and King Ning were called uncles, and then King Ning and his brother...

He glanced at his cousin, who was in love with King Ning, and decided to follow his wife and call him uncle.

Li Tan looked at Zhu Xieli smiling but didn't say anything, and felt that he must have some plans, but for some reason, Zhu Xieli just wanted to hide it from him.

Zhu Xieli changed the subject directly and asked, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Li Tan said: "You discuss the business first, and then talk about other things later."

Zhu Xieli said helplessly: "Since you all disagree, what else should I say? Let's discuss it later, let's break up."

As soon as his words fell, the privy envoy and the privy envoy quickly stood up and left, the speed was dizzying.

Li Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "What have you forced people into?"

Zhu Xieli snorted and said, "Everyone is in need of cleaning up, so let's talk about your affairs first."

Li Tan said, "I probably won't be celebrating the New Year here this year."

Zhu Xieli almost jumped up after hearing this: "What?"

Li Tan was taken aback by him: "Why are you reacting so badly?"

Zhu Xieli felt aggrieved and said, "But I still have a gift for you!"

Li Tan laughed: "You can send it in advance or wait for me to come back."

Zhu Xieli shook his head: "No, no, forget it, I'm not fully ready anyway, wait until next year."

Li Tan: ...

You just give me a gift for a year?
