Li Er indulged Niu Jinda in his mischief. He followed him to the north and south and risked his life. A few scoldings were enough for this little nonsense.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin declares his seal!"
Li Er opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but cursed: "This Wulang is getting more and more lazy. He actually asked a woman to write the seal for me. If the imperial censor knows, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of impeachment papers."
The crime of disrespect!"
After reading the seal, Li Er picked up the ink pen and wrote on the seal: Let the two of them bring more distinguished disciples. How can young people become the pillars of the Tang Dynasty without suffering some hardships? After writing, he threw the seal to
He asked Eunuch Gao: "Send it to me quickly, and then spread my word. I beg for mercy regarding Niu Jinda!"
Eunuch Gao hurried away.
On the other side, Niu Jinda was also pulled out of the city by Lu Maofeng, and happened to meet Eunuch Gao who was leaving the city.
"General Niu, General Lu!" Eunuch Gao greeted.
Niu Jinda is a general, Lu Maofeng is not, but Lu Maofeng is the leader of Li Yuanxing's personal servants, so it is normal to call him a general.
"Hello, Eunuch Gao!" The two of them returned the greeting.
Eunuch Gao smiled when he saw Niu Jinda: "General Niu wants to treat guests, and the Yanyu Tower must be grand."
"Lao Niu is going to play a game, but for today's fun, I'm inviting you to drink!" Niu Jinda laughed heartily.
Eunuch Gao handed the watch stamp in his hand to Niu Jinda, and then said: "I would like to ask General Lu to bring it to His Highness the King of Qin. Your Majesty also has something to say, saying that Your Majesty will personally plead for General Niu and ask Your Majesty the King of Qin to give him a lighter sentence!"
Niu Jinda didn't look at the seal on his watch, but first saluted Chang'an City: "Old Niu, thank you for your great kindness!"
"This seal is a great favor!" Eunuch Gao said in a low voice.
Sure enough, Niu Jinda read the watch and smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. This was asking him to go to Liaodong. But the superior officer he took was Cheng Motou. This was not a punishment, but a great reward. "Please drink.
I’ll invite you for a drink today!” Niu Jinda couldn’t even close his mouth.
Eunuch Gao shook his head: "Another day, hurry back to Qinwangzhuang today to receive the punishment. I believe His Highness the King of Qin must have military affairs to answer!"
"See you later, Eunuch Gao!" Niu Jinda happily mounted his horse and galloped towards Qin Wangzhuang.
At Qin Wangzhuang, Li Yuanxing had returned to the village. When changing clothes, he said to Yuan Chun: "Go and tell Princess Xinluo that the king invited her to have dinner with her, and put it in the living room of the meeting. And tell her that the dinner is a gift from the king.
Give it to her!" Yuanchun gave a gift and went to convey the message.
Wu Zhao heard this and said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Qin, how many more concubines are you planning to add?"
"Do you think I'm here to pick up girls?" Li Yuanxing pinched Wu Zhao's face.
Wu Zhao opened Li Yuanxing's hand and said, "It's dinner and a gift. Do you still want to talk about state affairs?"
"Do you want to see the gift I gave her? However, I suggest you not to read it, for fear that you will have nightmares!" Li Yuanxing smiled, picked up Wu Zhao, and sat together at the computer desk.
"I want to see how scary it is!" Wu Zhao was unconvinced, but he had already guessed something in his heart.
"A lot of human heads!" Li Yuanxing deliberately said in a gloomy tone, but Wu Zhao's eyes were full of excitement: "Human heads, my favorite is human heads!"
Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, but Wu Zhao smiled at this moment: "I'm kidding you, human heads are so disgusting. However, I really like human heads. Because the appearance of human heads in Prince Qin's palace represents a kind of success.
So, I like heads!"
“That’s a good reason!”
"What are you going to do when you turn on the computer?" Wu Zhao pointed at the computer screen.
Li Yuanxing said: "I am thinking, after controlling Liaocheng and Jian'an, can the army find a way to control Besha City, or the location of Dandong in the future!"
Wu Zhao shook his head: "I'm not a soldier, you shouldn't ask me this question. You can discuss it with Li Jing, or even the Holy One. If no one can discuss it anymore, you can go back and ask the cabinet master. If you ask me, I
Just talking nonsense!"
"I want to hear your nonsense!"
"I'm not going to fight Bisha City. Datang doesn't have a navy. If I fight there, I won't be constantly harassed by the sea, and it's very troublesome to supply everything. There's nothing to make money around. Besides, Dandong, if we let the
If you take it, the Goguryeo people will counterattack like crazy. In other words, will you be able to take it smoothly? A sneak attack can only be done once, and it is absolutely impossible to sneak attack a second time!"
Hearing Wu Zhao's words, Li Yuanxing nodded: "Continue!"
I chose to listen to Wu Zhao’s answer, not because Wu Zhao understood military affairs, but because Wu Zhao understood economics.
Li Yuanxing knew that without enough benefits, occupying the city would be pure expenditure. With enough benefits, occupying the city would be pure profit. Tang Dynasty was very poor now, and the family's expenses were naturally high, so they did not dare to engage in pure expenditure matters.
.
Besides, from a strategic perspective, Datang was not suitable for large-scale wars in recent years.
"Do you know Changchun?"
"nonsense?"
"It's a good place. What's the basis for the heavy industry base? Minerals and enough food output. Looking at it now, it's a hundred or a thousand times better than Yaozhou. If you want to have a navy in the future, Changchun is your must-win.
Regardless of whether it is a wooden ship or a giant steel ship, Changchun is the base."
After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he took the mouse from Li Yuanxing's hand: "I will find you a complete set of information, and you will know how valuable the industry is. It is definitely the cradle of heavy industry."
"Why not choose Shenyang?" Li Yuanxing asked again.
"Shenyang's location is not good. It is too close to Liaocheng. No matter how much you invest, it will not affect your overall control of the three eastern provinces. However, Changchun can become the center of the three eastern provinces. You already have Liaocheng, so there is no need to add more.
Spending huge sums of money to build a Shenyang and controlling it means that countless wealth will be brought in."
Li Yuanxing leaned back in his chair, somewhat undecided.
"Are you in trouble? Are you doing it because of money? If it's because of money, I have enough ways to get the aristocratic families to come up with enough money to build you a Changchun heavy industry base in less than three years!" Wu Zhao said confidently
Said.
Li Yuanxing still shook his head: "Yaozhou is just in the process of development. First, it is too urgent, and second, I don't have enough manpower!"
manpower!
When it comes to manpower, there is nothing to say. This is really a big problem.
It is not only the chief officials who need to be mobilized, but also officials at all levels, as well as craftsmen. It will take tens of thousands of people to build a Changchun.
What's even more troublesome is, what is there in Changchun that makes people want to leave their hometown?
This is not something that can be accomplished with just a simple order from His Highness the King of Qin. It must be done voluntarily.
"Okay, let's go pick up girls!" Wu Zhao patted Li Yuanxing.
"Well, let me think about it again. It's not enough to take too big a step. But there is no point in taking too small a step. If we put pressure on the Taoist priests tomorrow, their chemical level has improved too slowly. So far, they have not been able to industrialize the production of soda ash.
, I have Eucommia ulmoides, but I can’t get rubber out of it!”
"Okay, let's go pick up girls. Just think of it as relaxing!" Wu Zhao slapped Li Yuanxing hard on the back.
Li Yuanxing smiled, straightened his collar and went out.
Arriving at the small living room, Kinderman had already arrived and was waiting for Li Yuanxing.
The hostess today is Lu Qiuyu, who is holding pictures and choosing dishes for today's banquet.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you are always very busy. This is the first time that I have officially seen you when I came to Qinwangzhuang!" Kinderman stood up and saluted, and Li Yuanxing returned the half salute: "I am hospitable.
I don’t have time, but I want to prepare a gift for you!”
"A gift? My daughter is very curious?"
"I think it would be better to look at the gifts after you have eaten. At least you can still eat!" Li Yuanxing smiled and sat on the main seat. He continued: "Of course, you may need to rinse your mouth after looking at this gift.
Let’s have another dinner by the way!”
Kinderman didn't understand. Just when he was about to ask, Lu Qiuyu said, "Your Highness is joking again. What kind of gift is so disgusting!"
"Human head!" Li Yuanxing still had a smile on his face.
Human head! Both women exclaimed.
"There are many heads. I am not interested in identifying them one by one. I just know that the defenders of Liao City are the generals; the defenders of Jian'an City are the generals. I have said that I want to teach Goguryeo a lesson, but General Hou Junji still lets me.
The king is relieved, he led his troops to the two cities and taught Goguryeo some lessons!"
Lesson, is this a lesson? This is like cutting off Goguryeo’s hand.
"Heads, where are the heads!" After Kinderman shouted, he seemed to feel that he had been rude, and quickly stood up and saluted: "I'm sorry, but I want to see those heads."
"Go and see!" Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, and Yuanchun subconsciously took half a step back. She didn't want to take Kinderman with her. It was a human head, and it was scary to think about it. Li Yuanxing had no choice but to let a personal guard take him.
After leaving, for the personal guards, it is not a head, it is military merit, it is a reward.
Kinderman trotted out, eager to see the heads of the Goguryeo people.
"Your Highness, did you really capture Liaocheng? I heard there are many precious furs there?" Lu Qiuyu gently closed the menu and asked Li Yuanxing in a low voice.
Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded: "Yes, Liaocheng must have been captured. I heard that there are thousands of top-quality fox skins, mink skins, and deer skins. There are also several very precious snow leopard skins. If this is offered to
It’s for the emperor’s brother. I also know that in addition to the warehouses in the city, there are also many treasures among the people, which must have been robbed from the Goguryeo people by the Mohe people and the Khitan people.”
"Your Highness!" Lu Qiuyu looked like she was about to act coquettishly.
"Okay, after the Tianchi Grand Meeting, you can send someone there. I will transfer Gaobaiyang to you, and collect some more valuable medicinal materials and rare things." Li Yuanxing knew that if he didn't agree, he would be able to send Lu Qiuyu away.
, and couldn’t send away the other six people in the backyard.
Even Wu Zhao would have wanted some fine fox skins.
Outside!
Kinderman saw the rows of open boxes, holding the seal of his Silla envoy, and kneeled down in the direction of Silla's hometown with tears in his eyes. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, and the novel will be updated.
