730 The Newcomer to the Qin Palace, Please Plan Three
Lu Maofeng closed the door, and Wu Zhao knelt down on the couch with a few snacks in front of her. The happiest thing for her at this age was that she didn't have to worry about getting fat no matter what she ate.
Even if you are fat, it doesn't matter.
Fang Xuanling sat next to Wu Zhao and nodded: "Princess Mingyue's taste is really extraordinary!"
"Tea snacks are snacks eaten when having tea."
"Try it!" Fang Xuanling picked up a piece and put it in his mouth with a smile.
Ma Zhou, on the other hand, sat in front of the desk in an orderly manner, grinding slowly, waiting for Li Yuanxing's order.
Li Yuanxing set up the projector and displayed a map of the Liaodong area.
"Let's get down to business. The Li family of Zhaojun is going to deal with the civil strife in the Khitan. Whether they can really achieve what I want, it is not an exaggeration to send someone to check and ask them about their plans."
Hearing what Li Yuanxing said, Fang Xuanling was puzzled: "Your Highness, will there be civil strife in Khitan? Why are they in trouble?"
"I want them to mess up!"
Li Yuanxing's answer made Fang Xuanling hold his beard and smile, but Ma Zhou shook his hand and dropped the pen on the paper.
Li Yuanxing didn't care what Ma Zhou's reaction was, and neither did Fang Xuanling. Wu Zhao was the calmest, holding a cup in both hands, which contained freshly squeezed juice. After tasting the taste, he seemed a little dissatisfied, and added He drank some water, took another sip, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"The unification of the Khitan may not be a good thing. The Khitan is originally like a piece of scattered sand. After the unification of the Khitan, this will increase their strength. They dare not confront the Tang Dynasty, but they will confront the Turks. It may not be beneficial to us, the Tang Dynasty!" Fang Xuanling put forward his own opinion.
Li Yuanxing just nodded and glanced sideways at Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou had already memorized everything Fang Xuanling said, and he didn't dare to look around, just staring at the paper.
Fang Xuanling continued: "Unless the Eastern Turks can also be unified, within five years, the Khitan will definitely suppress the Eastern Turks. This is not what we in the Tang Dynasty want to see."
"Fang Gong, if the Khitan merges with the Tang Dynasty, will it become a single entity?" Li Yuanxing asked back,
Fang Xuanling shook his head: "Same. It's just like His Highness's idea of choosing Wen Yanbo as General Tiance's governor. To integrate Khitan in a gentle way, the veteran thought this process would take at least five years, and complete integration may take a generation. If we work hard, the Khitan people will be autonomous in the early stage!"
Seems reasonable.
Who says the wisdom of the ancients was inferior? Even modern people would not dare to look down upon Fang Xuanling's methods.
"Fanggong, continue!"
"Slowing down the civil strife in Khitan. Leaving behind some things that are not big but annoying. It makes people hard to be heartless, but it is like throwing a handful of sand into the rice. It is like gritting one's teeth and pouring the whole bowl. It's better to eat it." There was a kind of cruelty in Fang Xuanling's eyes.
Cutting flesh with a dull knife is far more uncomfortable than cutting with a sharp knife.
"This is the trade-off that the Khitan King has to face. This process will not damage the Khitan's internal strength, but it will delay the Khitan's pace. It will also give His Highness some time to do some things in East Turkestan. They Fighting is not a bad thing. If these various ethnic groups that are dependent on us, the Tang Dynasty, do not fight among themselves, they will unite to fight against us, the Tang Dynasty, and us Han people."
Li Yuanxing changed the map on the screen from Liaodong to the Western Regions.
"Gaochang!" Fang Xuanling's expression changed. Although he was a civil servant, he was definitely a first-class strategist. It was no longer a secret among the upper class nobles of the Tang Dynasty that Li Yuanxing wanted to attack Gaochang, but no one knew what Li Yuanxing was planning to do. Go deal with this Gaochang.
Gaochang was the throat of the Tang Dynasty's westward journey, and what was stuck in it was the Tang Dynasty's money bag.
"Originally, Gaochang was ambitious. General Li, the king of Hejian County, had already made full preparations to meet one or even several attacks from the coalition forces of Gaochang and Tuyuhun. After suffering enough losses, Datang counterattacked and took advantage of Righteousness and reason." Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "Unfortunately, the people of Gaochang suddenly stopped moving."
Hahaha! Fang Xuanling laughed heartily.
"It seems that I should postpone the battle against Goguryeo until May."
"It's not necessarily a bad thing. At least there won't be any more casualties from General Li. Gaochang can also take advantage of it, and even borrow a knife to kill people." Fang Xuanling spoke very slowly, while still picking things on Wu Zhao's table. dessert.
Li Yuanxing thought to himself that Fang Xuanling might be more ruthless than Wei Zheng.
At that moment, Li Yuanxing asked: "Whose sword can I borrow?"
Fang Xuanling smiled: "Wu Lang already has two knives in his hand, but this third knife may also be a good knife."
Li Yuanxing's eyes also narrowed: "It seems very interesting, let me tell you first. The first sword is from the Khitans, and the second sword is from the East Turks. So the third sword, is it possible that Fang Gong said it is the West Turks? "
"The King of Qin deserves to be the King of Qin!" Fang Xuanling also flattered Li Yuanxing.
Fang Xuanling placed a piece of snack on the table: "This snack is very delicious, so naturally people will come to grab it. What will happen if we grab it too late?"
"Regret?" Wu Zhao suddenly asked.
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "If the Khitans grab it too late, I'm afraid the Khitan King will regret it for at least a year. It's just a matter of trade-offs. How can we let the Khitans into the trap?"
"The King of Khitan is a ruthless man, so kindness has nothing to do with him. The most important thing is profit. If the Mohe people offer a high price, then he may choose to cooperate with certain tribes within the Khitan, but these cooperative tribes will also They just obey his orders temporarily. When the distribution of benefits is unbalanced, even if these tribes are weaker than him, they may not always support him. This is that bowl of white rice, white rice soaked with sand. It feels uncomfortable to eat, so I won’t eat it. pity!"
“The landlord is brilliant!”
Li Yuanxing and Fang Xuanling drank tea instead of wine.
"As for whether the Eastern Turks or the Western Turks bit this snack, I think it doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter, anyone can bite him. The Khan of Western Turks is so crazy that he can't even remember his last name. His life will not last long, nor can it last long. So I hope even more The Western Turks took a bite of this snack and got into a war with Tuyuhun!"
Fang Xuanling lowered her voice: "His Royal Highness can use the tricks he used against Luo Yi again."
"Who is suitable?"
"Zhao Yande!"
Li Yuanxing was a little hesitant. Zhao Yande is still in Goguryeo. Without Zhao Yande causing trouble in Goguryeo, would the Goguryeo people calm down, stop engaging in arms races, and not desperately oppress their own people? To put it bluntly, , Zhao Yande is a high-level Daji!
Seeing that Li Yuanxing was unsure about paying attention, Fang Xuanling said again: "Wu Lang, you got yourself involved. Just imagine if neither the Khitan nor the East Turks had bitten this piece of cake, when the Goguryeo piece of cake was released, then In addition, the sergeants of Silla, Baekje, and Tang Dynasty will just take over the city."
When Li Yuanxing was reminded by Fang Xuanling, he thought that this was really the case.
"Then according to this plan, arrange people to consider the details, refine it and then implement it?" Fang Xuanling asked again.
Li Yuanxing agreed: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Fang. I'm afraid I will have to go to Liaodong and Suzhou in person."
"No!" Fang Xuanling shook his head: "I don't have enough status, so I want His Highness to go there in person. The reason is that Admiral Tiance is patrolling the border. The flying boat brings some items for rewards, such as wine from Chang'an and famous snacks from Chang'an. ."
"Why don't we wait for another two months for the new flying boat to be tested and then burn a hundred thousand pig trotters?" Wu Zhao made a suggestion from the side.
Fang Xuanling and Li Yuanxing shook their heads at the same time.
Wu Zhao was about to say, why don't you agree with me?
But I heard Fang Xuanling and Li Yuanxing say at the same time: "One hundred thousand is enough, at least five hundred thousand pig's trotters are needed."
In order to work for the army, hundreds of thousands of pigs will have no hooves. Of course, their meat may be made into various cans and various delicacies.
Who said that Fang's plans were overturned? His Highness the King of Qin was wise and mighty.
Wu Zhao smiled cheerfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is just like that. All the live pigs in Chang'an must be enough, but there are only more than 70,000 adult pigs. These 500,000 pig trotters, regardless of No matter what, we can’t get enough.”
"Don't be afraid, I have a trick up my sleeve. Canned fish, canned fruits, and canned vegetables from Lingnan. I don't believe it anymore. I can't make millions of cans. Since I'm here to work for you, you can't be too stingy."
Fang Xuanling also took the opportunity to go downhill: "Working the army is not a matter of the Qin Palace. I will go to the Ministry of War tomorrow. Why should I ask the Ministry of War to take out some profits from milk powder and wool? When His Highness is patrolling the border, Jun will gather at that time. To keep up with him is also to give him face as the newly appointed Minister of War!"
Wu Zhao and Li Yuanxing both secretly praised Fang Xuanling for his wisdom.
This embarrassed Hou Junji, and the Ministry of War had to spend money. Even if the cans and bottles could be recycled, the cost would be more than ten cents each.
"Your Majesty, I will retire first and let you mislead that the Western Turks are out of stock because of the Gaochang incident. I need to consider some details. I also need to make a detailed plan. I promise that Gaochang will no longer exist before the New Year!" Fang Xuanling gave a salute. After that, he retreated out of Li Yuanxing's study.
Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sorted out the papers he had recorded, and carefully placed them in the box.
"You compare yourself to Pang Tong, what do you think now?" Li Yuanxing asked softly, holding up a cup of tea that Wu Zhao brought to his hand.
"I am absolutely unworthy of you, but I am willing to be a scribe!" Ma Zhou stood up and bowed.
Li Yuanxing was about to say that Ma Zhou could go out first, but Ma Zhou bowed again: "I have no talent, but some talents. When I saw the canned food, I thought that if the lower circle is smaller than the upper circle, then it will be fine." It can be put together one after another, making it easier to recycle and not easy to damage." The lower circle is smaller than the upper circle, which is the shape of an inverted cone. This principle is too simple. It's not that Li Yuanxing doesn't understand it. Not to mention Li Yuanxing, he is a craftsman from Yaozhou. We all know it, but we just didn’t expect it.
"Remember you for your contribution, and send your ideas to Yaozhou in the form of an official document for reference!" Li Yuanxing would not be too surprised. Anyone who can become the prime minister in the future of the Tang Dynasty is not an ordinary person. .(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
ps: Today’s update is a bit late. I went to the airport in the morning, but I encountered a huge traffic jam when I came back. I almost fell asleep in the car, but I still kept moving forward slowly and little by little. This was more tiring than being stuck in a traffic jam.
