Li Xuan was startled and looked at Li Chengqian blankly. He didn't expect that after teaching him by words and deeds for so long, this bastard Li Chengqian was still so timid and pedantic!
"So what if the censor impeaches you? One of you is the prince, one is the county king, and the other is the eldest son of the county king. The rest are all the eldest sons of the prince's family. Which one is not more respected than the censor?
Moreover, not to mention the impeachment of one censor, even if all the censors are impeached, what will happen to you? Is it possible that your majesty will still blame you and others for your great achievements in opening up and expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty? "
"This time, Li Jing was impeached by the imperial censor. His Majesty not only punished him, but also made Li Jing the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, acting as the Duke of the country. He also granted Li Jing a thousand bolts of silk, and even added an additional hundred grains of food.
household?
As long as you contribute to the Tang Dynasty and do not harm the people of the Tang Dynasty, what do you have to fear in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Thank you, Master, I understand everything!"
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others quickly saluted with joyful faces, and their expressions flashed, obviously the bad water in their stomachs was constantly bubbling up!
"There is one more thing that you need to explain to Honglu Temple!" Li Xuan said again.
"Please give me your instructions, Master!" Li Chengqian said.
"Every envoy from a vassal state who comes to study in the Tang Dynasty must take a lesson in respecting and loving the Tang Dynasty.
For this class, we need to invite a great Confucian who is eloquent and eloquent to quote scriptures, so that the envoys of the vassal state can learn to respect their teachers and their principles.
No matter how much they learn about the Tang Dynasty, they must first make them respect the Tang Dynasty. If you can even make them feel that the Tang Dynasty is more important than their respective countries, then Honglu Temple will have done a great job!"
Speaking of this, Li Xuan looked solemn.
"We will never let envoys like them learn the knowledge and skills of our Tang Dynasty, and instead use them to invade our Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others could not help but be stunned.
Immediately, he bowed his hands to Li Xuan with a look of admiration.
"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely report this matter to Aye!"
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked disgusted.
"Stop talking nonsense, go and spar with Xue Rengui when you have nothing to do, or manage your own village. I am very upset when I see your idle behavior!"
"Hey, Master, what I'm trying to teach you is, I'll resign later!"
Regarding Li Xuan's dislike, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others had already developed a thick skin, so they just laughed and hurriedly ran out.
Li Xuan's words were enough for them to digest for several days.
At the same time, it also gave them a lot of inspiration!
…
Following Inugami Mita Shu, he left Chang'an City with several carts of goods and headed for Qingzhou.
The news that the King of Jin wanted to use money to buy land from Japan also spread in Chang'an City.
After hearing this, among the dignitaries of the aristocratic families, only a small half of the aristocratic families had mocking faces.
Most of the aristocratic families couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and then one by one they took out the simple world map and started to read it.
King Jin's operation opened a new door for them!
Not only can you use force to attack those vassal states, you can also use money to buy them.
Moreover, they don’t need to buy much, they only need to buy a city!
But, how to buy a city? Who should I buy it from?
Thinking about it, people from aristocratic families couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
They were reluctant to stay away from the Tang Dynasty, and they did not have much money to buy cities in the vassal states near the Tang Dynasty!
Li Xuan ignored these.
However, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others did not let go of these new things.
Even if it is snowing heavily outside, if you hear something interesting, you will come to Lijiazhuang and tell it to Li Xuan with great interest.
An elder of a certain aristocratic family took hundreds of people to Baekje to buy an island in Silla. As a result, both Baekje and Silla offered a sky-high price, and the elder of the aristocratic family came back with anger on his face; a certain aristocratic family in Hedong wanted to buy an island.
He actually took five thousand servants and farmers, reported to the court, and went directly to attack Goguryeo. It only took a month on the road, but then he saw that Goguryeo had begun to defend it to the death...
Li Xuan either sneered at this or made some strange remarks, but Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others would be shocked if they thought about it for a moment!
The more times you come to Lijiazhuang, the more diligent you are!
"Will the Li family in Longxi send troops?"
On this day, Li Xuan didn't know what he thought of, so he asked directly.
"Longxi Li family?"
Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others on the side could not help but look stiff.
"Huh?" A trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
"Back to Master, the Li family in Longxi sent 10,000 troops to attack Tuyuhun!"
Li Chongyi replied directly.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xuan asked quickly.
"Returning to Master, I heard that the Li family in Longxi attacked Chishui and Yuanhua City in Tuyuhun and captured more than 2,000 Tuyuhun people and more than 50,000 cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock!"
Li Chongyi said again.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others on the side couldn't help but look envious.
"Sure enough, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Family are still more powerful!"
Li Xuan praised directly.
"Master, you actually praise the Li family of Longxi?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Why don't you praise me? With just one aristocratic family, we captured two cities in Tuyuhun. This is a great contribution to the expansion of our Tang Dynasty!" Li Xuan said directly.
"But Master, according to the edict issued by Your Majesty, whoever conquers foreign cities will be awarded those cities to that family!" Li Chengqian said with a look of reluctance.
"What? Shouldn't it be?"
Li Xuan didn't understand Li Chengqian's stinginess.
"Master, I am not stingy, but I am worried that if those cities are awarded to those aristocratic families, if those aristocratic families take all the money and goods accumulated in the family, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty suffer a great loss?" Li Chengqian
He explained hurriedly.
"You've thought a lot about this!"
Li Xuan sneered disdainfully.
Then under Li Chengqian's puzzled look, he patiently explained: "Have you ever seen any family that is not a cunning rabbit with three caves? They have not yet established themselves in the foreign cities they have just conquered, so how can they show off their skills and conquer their ancestors?
Transfer the wealth you have saved to other countries?"
"Moreover, for these things, Your Majesty only needs to issue an edict that you are not allowed to transfer large amounts of money privately outside the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who violates it will be confiscated!"
As he said that, ignoring Li Chengqian's eyes that were beginning to brighten, Li Xuan said again: "Even if the Li family in Longxi stayed in the two cities of Chishui and Yuanhua, could those barbaric places have the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?
And how many people from aristocratic families who have become accustomed to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty are willing to move to the two barren cities of Chishui and Yuanhua?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, and then felt relieved.
"Master, doesn't it mean that the cities built by aristocratic families are of little use and may even be a burden?"
Cheng Chusi said with a smile.
"burden?"
Li Xuan rubbed his brows helplessly and sighed softly. He had no hope for Cheng Chusi, a fool like him. He might not think about anything except eating, drinking, fighting and looting!
"They just captured two cities and captured cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, and they earned back the cost of sending troops. They also got two cities and thousands of slaves in vain. From now on, they only need to run those two cities well."
In the city, whether it is planting fields and grain, raising cattle, sheep and horses, or collecting business taxes in the city, whatever one earns belongs to them, so how can it become a burden?"
