Chapter 132 The problem of heirs is the big problem

Chen Ying is now the arch-protector of Anxi, commanding the Anxi army, and controlling the Anxi towns. His power is so strong that he can be said to be a real chief official. If Chen Ying is willing to join the cabinet and become ministers at any time, he can make the court and the country shake a few times with a stomp.

Although Chen Ying became famous and had already become powerful, the only one who could blame him without regard for Chen Ying's face was Li Xiuning.

Although it was May and it was not the hot summer day, there were already fine beads of sweat on Chen Ying's forehead. It was still difficult to guard against the enemy.

In the end, Yang Rong, the thief, made the plot successful. However, Yang Rong is different from Changsun Wugui. No matter what Li Shimin does, Changsun Wugui is his real wife. If there is any scandal, the face of the Li Tang royal family will be lost.

Li Xiuning became irritated, her eyebrows raised high, her eyes were cast in the flower stream that was illuminated by the moonlight, and she said unhappily: "Tell me, what's wrong with Changsun?"

The key is that Chen Yingzhen and Changsun clan had nothing to do with him. He asked Changsun Wugui to help him manage the accounting room of the Chen family, mainly because Changsun Wugui did not rely on him. No one could rely on him except Chen Ying. There was also a subconscious mind that Li Jiancheng was a shameless person and would never make things difficult for his younger sister-in-law Changsun Wugui.

Chen Ying pondered: "I have been away from Chang'an for four years now, and there is nothing at all..."

Li Xiuning is not an unreasonable person. Yang Rong is the wife of Duke Ying Guo. No matter what happens, the warrior will never make a fuss. Instead, he will be better for Yang Rong. There is no way. Yang Rong can't afford to offend Yang Rong at all. Not to mention Yang Rong's cousin Yang Gongren, even his brother Yang Ze, has now become the Jianghuai Strategic Pacification Envoy, commanding the Chief of the Huai Army, and controlling the various towns. His power can be said to be a real chief official, and it is just around the corner to join the cabinet and become the prime minister.

In this case, once Samurai and Yang Rong turn against each other, they will eventually become a divorce. Samurai has no place to gain a foothold in the court, and has always been scattered in the officialdom. In order to please Yang Ze and Yang Gongren, it is inevitable to suppress Samurai.

Whether Warriors guessed the truth or not, it didn't matter, and he didn't dare to make a statement at all. But Changsun Wugui's case is different.

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning repeatedly promised that Li Xiuning would not have to be questioned.

With the attitude of not being able to provoke, Chen Ying simply hid in the military camp to avoid being squeezed into adults by the girls.

However, Anxi had already entered the regular state and was very tired of watching the soldiers training every day. After a few days, Chen Ying took Zhou Qing and Guo Luo to leave the military camp and stroll in Kucha City.

Seeing that it was noon, Chen Ying was a little hungry. He said to Zhou Qing: "Find a place to fill your stomach!"

Guo Luo smiled and said, "Master, Zhou Qing has a familiar store, so let's go and have a look!"

Zhou Qing is mainly responsible for Shule College in Shule City and is responsible for the research and development of steam engines. He is considered the chief manager of Shule College, so he has few opportunities to come to Kucha City.

Chen Ying was also a little curious about what kind of mature shop Zhou Qing could have.

Seeing Chen Ying not believing, Guo Luo pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Master, you will know when you go and take a look!"

Zhou Qing had no choice but to take Chen Ying and his party dozens of people to the Xueshi Tea Hotel.

When he came to Xue's tea and wine shop, Chen Ying was very disappointed when he saw the door. There were three street-facing rooms, and several tables were placed in the hall. There were two compartments near the kitchen near the northeast corner, which were separated by cloth curtains. The cloth curtains only covered the upper half of the door opening, which was considered a private room.

There are not a thousand tea and wine shops like this in Kucha City, at least eight hundred.

Under Zhou Qing's leadership, they found a square table in the corner to sit down.

Zhou Qing was familiar with this place and stood there to greet the young and beautiful lady of the Xue family and said, "Miss Xue family, do you still remember the dishes I ate in the store? Add a portion of cold-cut sauce-flavored beef to deliver to us."

Chen Ying's face darkened: "Beef?"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "It's so good for the little officials to know that although our shop sells beef, it's not the oxen of our Tang Dynasty, but the Tubo yaks from Kangxizhou. Which kind of cow is stupid and afraid of heat, and can't plow the land at all, so you can only kill and eat meat!"

The voice of the Xue family’s wife is very nice.

Chen Ying looked at the pretty face of the wife of the Xue family and looked at the diners in the store. He found that most of them were porters or strong men, and there were no women or elderly people at all.

The wife of the Xue family is actually just a shopkeeper, and there is someone else in the dish or cooking. When the wife of the Xue family has guests, she comes to greet her. If there are no guests or usually stands behind the counter and makes a calculation.

After a while, four plates of cold-cut sauce-flavored beef were brought up, Chen Ying picked up a piece and put it in her mouth to chew it, but the taste was very ordinary.

However, it was the meal time, and the store here had more than a dozen tables full, and the business was obviously pretty good.

Just as Chen Ying finished her meal and was about to leave, eight men carrying shoulder poles and porters entered the hall.

Guo Luo pushed Chen Ying and said, "Master, I have a background!"

Under Guo Luo's reminder, Chen Ying was not in a hurry to leave.

He pretended to be intentional or unintentional, and looked at the next door. Chen Ying suddenly felt a difference. The eight porters all had a strong murderous aura. Although in this era, there were not many people who dared to trade on the Silk Road, the murderous aura on these eight porters was too heavy.

Especially the black shoulder pole and brand new short shirt give people a feeling of being out of place.

One of the porters took advantage of the fact that the Xue family's wife came to greet the guests and touched the Xue family's wife's buttocks.

The wife of the Xue family was more than enough to deal with this kind of scene. She twisted her body like a water snake. The man grabbed the empty hand and caused laughter from the surrounding men.

Although he failed, the man didn't care and stared at the wife of the Xue family unscrupulously.

Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing who was about to take action and lowered his voice: "Forget it, you can control it for a while, but you can't control it for a lifetime. If you offend these rascals, you will be troubled by the Xue family's wife!"

Zhou Qing sat down angrily.

Just as the guy was serving the food, the man suddenly stretched out his foot. The guy was unprepared and was thrown to the ground. The tray in his hand was thrown forward, and accidentally hit Chen Yingbang's one, you could tell that it was a rich man.

The distinguished guest wearing a brocade robe looked at the oil on his body, pointed at the friend and shouted: "Bi Qiqizhi, this is a newly bought long gown from Xu Du Caoji by a certain family. You pay for it... you pay!"

Several porters cheered on the side.

The hall was in chaos.

The smile on Chen Ying's face became deeper and deeper, and he finally understood what was going on.

...

The Fusang Tang Dynasty adopted the same system as the Tang Dynasty, and the Sixteen Guards Generals led all the prefectures in the world. The Navy was directly under the Emperor Li Shimin. Now the Navy troops are basically the old foundation of the Zhang Zhongjian period. There are more than 1,000 large and small warships, of which the main warships are 44 ocean-going warships modified from the horizontal ocean-going boats.

The troops were about 40,000, although the troops were slightly weaker than the Tang Dynasty. However, it may not be impossible to rely on these 40,000 naval divisions to tear open the sea defense line of the Tang Dynasty. However, relying solely on the power of the Fusang Datang Navy, the successor was weak.

The Fusang Tang Dynasty was too far away from the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin's ability to send troops at sea was limited. After tearing open the sea defense line, he could send up to 80,000 troops, which was the limit of Li Shimin's ability. As one of the three chariots at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally knew about the soldiers. He knew very well. The combat effectiveness of the Fusang Tang army was far from comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people. Similarly, soldiers with strong combat power mostly come from bitter and cold areas. However, the Fusang Tang Dynasty was a more prosperous and gentle hometown than Jiangnan.

The climate of the Fusang Tang Dynasty was warm and the rain was abundant. The most important thing was that it had abundant products. High-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. The most important thing was that in the south of the Fusang Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's people also accidentally discovered a tree. This tree belongs to a shrub. It can be as long as two or three meters long as one plant. The key is that the trunk will flow out similar to mixed grain noodles and make it a sticky and paste. Although the taste is not good, the key is that it can resist hunger and the yield is extremely high. One plant can make two or three buckets of batter.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't know that what he encountered was the starch tree species with a yield of up to five tons per mu in later generations. It is precisely for this reason that the natives of the Fusang Tang Dynasty did not need to farm at all. They could get enough food to fill their stomachs by just drilling into the woods. They could have all kinds of fruits.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Although the Fusang natives have obtained a fertile land of heaven and do not worry about food sources, they are all very comfortable and have no enterprising spirit at all. The greatest pleasure every day is to eat and drink, lie in the sun and play with it. Li Shimin didn't know. If he knew, he would find that the Fusang continent at this time was the same as the blacks in later generations.

People are not good, they are lazy, have no key to organization and discipline, and their words are not interoperable. These are all the most urgent issues for Li Shimin. Li Shimin also thought about learning from Zhang Zhongjian and coming from the Tang Dynasty to the population.

However, there are many problems like this. The performance indicators of the Tang Dynasty's assessment of officials are four: population, taxation, education and land. It's okay if the number is small, but as long as there is too many, it will definitely alarm the Tang Dynasty in advance. In terms of war mobilization and war potential, the Tang Dynasty is more than ten times that of the Fusang Tang Dynasty. Apart from the food aspect, Li Shimin had no advantage over Li Jiancheng. Once the Tang Dynasty was allowed to complete the war mobilization, Li Shimin would not have any chance of winning.

When Li Shimin was not ready, he did not want Li Jiancheng to pay too early on.

But there is one problem that Li Shimin had to start solving, that is, the problem of the heirs.

Li Shimin did not have sons in Fusang Tang. He gave birth to eleven sons and seven daughters in Fusang Tang Tang. The key is that these are all born in vain and have mixed bloodlines.
