Five hundred and fiftieth eight chapters ready to banquet
Chapter 558: Getting ready for the banquet
"The Little Prince's Luoyang Army has basically been fully recruited at this time, and there are also reserve militiamen who are more than enough. The reason Zhishen said is also a little bit. After all, these armies were established too short. If there is plenty of time, it will definitely be a success.
A force that cannot be ignored! Now that the white-armored cavalry has expanded to eight thousand, I believe that facing any
He's cavalry is also a big force, so just rest assured, little prince!" Xue Rengui saw Li Yunfei questioning Lu Zhishen like this. Although he didn't understand why Li Yunfei was so concerned about the construction of the army now, Xue Rengui had this confidence and he was completely following Li Jing's instructions.
This army is made using military training methods, and this army will never be weak.
"Brother Xue! It's not that I'm too hasty, but that time is running out! Winter is coming in a blink of an eye! Chunfeng, I think you should also know what this means, right? Just tell me the conclusions you have drawn from observing the sky day and night.
!I think we should let everyone know this
How urgent is this time?" Li Yunfei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Xue Rengui's words. If he could wait, Li Yunfei would naturally not want the war to happen. But sometimes it's not whether he hopes or not, but whether it will happen or not.
.
"Yes! My young prince! Everyone, I have been watching the sky in recent days and nights, and found that the weather in the north is unpredictable. According to the speculations of my master and I, it is very likely that this winter will be a cold winter that cannot be seen in a hundred years, so those grasslands are doomed.
The nation is about to undergo a change!" Li Chunfeng stood up, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but speak word by word, Li Chunfeng
Naturally, we know what this means. There are Turks and Tiele tribes on the grassland. Although Tiele is temporarily friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks are also professing their vassalage to the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows one thing. These people are all ambitious.
, war will break out sooner or later, and often one of the biggest reasons for grassland peoples to invade the Central Plains is food.
"Little prince! The general knows what to do. Don't worry, little prince. The general will definitely make the army train harder before winter. He will not let the little prince down!" Xue Rengui's face turned pale when he heard Li Chunfeng's words.
Shen, among the people present, Xue Rengui has the strongest national consciousness, and even Li Yunfei is slightly inferior. Therefore, Xue Rengui naturally cannot let his own people fall under the iron hooves of foreigners.
Li Yunfei's soul comes from later generations. At that time, all ethnic groups were already a unified family. Naturally, they would not hate any ethnic group. In Li Yunfei's view, sooner or later, these foreign ethnic groups would belong to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there was no distinction between foreign ethnic groups. It can be said that
, Li Yunfei still has a very long-term vision, naturally there is no Xue Ren
Gui has deeply experienced the pain of foreign invasion. Li Yunfei is just preparing to fight the grassland peoples. The arrival of winter is a test for the nomads in the grasslands, and it is also a test for the Central Plains, because the foreigners are short of food in the Central Plains.
, they believe that the fastest way to get food is to grab it!
"Master! I also know what to do. Don't worry, master. I will definitely train cavalry that can compete with the horse archers on the grassland. When the time comes, I will also open your eyes, master! Hey! Hey!" Lu Zhishen also had a rough idea.
Understanding the seriousness of the matter, Lu Zhishen came from the even colder Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the living conditions in Tubo can be said to be much colder and more severe than those in the Western Turks.
However, Tubo's current military strength is not too strong, especially after being frightened by the Tang Dynasty, it did not dare to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. However, Tubo had a lot of friction with another country, that is, the Kingdom of Tianzhu
, and Tubo has a faint tendency to suppress Tianzhu. Lu Zhishen
Having lived in the Central Plains for so long, I have seen a lot about the simplicity of the people in the Central Plains. Gradually, I have fallen deeply in love with this warm feeling, especially since there are people here who I want to protect throughout my life. Lu Zhishen looked at Li Yunfei
When I saw it, my eyes were full of determination.
"That's pretty much it for today. I just want you to remember this! Huaiying, Dewey, there is something that must be left to you to do, by the way! Dewey, how is your father now?
He didn't blame me for turning his good gang into this, right?" Li Yun
Fei turned his head and looked at Dewey who was sitting at the generals' table, and he was filled with admiration in his heart. He still remembered the first time he met Dewey, and what Dewey looked like at that time. However, as time has passed, Dewey has grown to this point, and he can be regarded as Li Yunfei's influence.
It is an indispensable presence in the world!
"Young prince! Please remember him! I believe that my father can still smile when he knows that the young prince still remembers him. Now my father does not have to live such a life of fear. He does Tai Chi every day, raises flowers, and birds.
My life is quite fulfilling, and I can say that I am much more practical than before! My father asked his subordinates to tell the young prince many times that
Expressing gratitude, how could he live such a quiet and comfortable life if it weren't for the young prince?" When Dewey heard Li Yunfei's words, he couldn't help but excitedly said to Li Yunfei. To be honest, Dewey was really grateful that Li Yunfei could give him
This time he had the chance to turn over a new leaf, and he could forgive his father and son for their serious crimes regardless of past grudges.
"Ha! Ha! That's good! Dewey, Huaiying, your mission is to have more contact with the salt gang in the future. It is best to obtain evidence of their tax evasion and ways to sell private salt! This is really important to you, Dewey.
It's very simple. After all, as the current head of Caobang, although Caobang has
After returning to the government, the affairs of the Caogang are still under your control, so this matter must be done by you, understand? Dewey!" Li Yunfei looked at Dewey closely. Li Yunfei knew that these salt merchants were cunning.
Abnormal, you must not act too hastily, you must take the long term to catch the big fish.
"What the young prince means is that these salt merchants are not serious businessmen? And aren't the salt merchants all merchants approved by the imperial court? Why does this situation still happen? Ugh! My subordinates know what to do!" Dewey heard what Li Yunfei said.
, couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Li Yunfei in disbelief. Dewey knew that the salt merchants were different from his gang.
The Cao Gang was formed by Lu Lin. Although it still had some status in the world, in the eyes of the government, it was nothing more than thieves. However, the salt merchants were businessmen appointed by the court, also known as government merchants. How could these government merchants still do this?
Are those things that only ordinary businessmen can do? But since Li Yunfei ordered him to do this, Dewey will naturally not postpone it!
"Aren't people living in this world dominated by money, beauty and power? Although these salt merchants receive a lot of money every year, who is contented? Now the salt merchants have formed a salt merchants guild
, and these salt merchants and some officials worked together in collusion, which has brought immeasurable losses to the court. My father had long intended to punish these profiteers, but unfortunately, these salt merchants were too cunning.
No one can take care of it!" Li Yunfei sighed, and Li Yunfei roughly understood why Zheng Yan'er's father became a small governor of Yangzhou! Li Yunfei later learned that the original governor of Yangzhou had been changed.
I know a few, and all of these Yangzhou magistrates were clean and honest before they took office, but after they took office, they changed into different people. They were all extremely greedy and unrepentant.
Zheng Guanghe is a direct descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he is also the brother of the current imperial concubine. He has always looked down upon everything, so he is naturally the best candidate to be appointed as the magistrate of Yangzhou. No wonder these salt merchants came to Luoyang from Yangzhou! I'm afraid
The last plague was just an excuse. In fact, Liu Qingyun was moved and Li Tai disappeared again. These Yangzhou salt merchants had a keen sense of smell that something had changed, so they all came to Luoyang to curry favor with Li Yunfei and seek asylum!
"Little prince! Wei Chen has something he doesn't know whether to say or not! Since the little prince has decided to set up a salt merchant, should the salt merchants refuse the invitation to the young prince this time? Originally, Wei Chen didn't like them very much.
This is the time to put an end to them!" Di Renjie also looked down upon these salts.
Businessmen, I don’t know how many times these salt merchants wanted to bribe Di Renjie, either explicitly or implicitly, but Di Renjie gave them back. When Di Renjie saw that Li Yunfei was determined to deal with these salt merchants, he felt a pang in his heart.
The furious anger of the salt merchants suddenly burst into flames.
"No! No! No! I still have to go to this banquet. Not only am I going, but you are going too, and Dewey is going too! Brother Xue may have to accompany his sister-in-law, so he doesn't have to! Don't take advantage of it, it's not mine.
To do this, and to deal with these cunning prey, you need a good hunter! This
The last time we went there, we happened to put out a long line, maybe we could catch a big fish, and then we set up a big net to catch them all!" Li Yunfei smiled strangely when he heard Di Renjie's words, and then pointed with his finger.
As Di Renjie and others spoke.
"Hey! Hey! Master! Can't you let me go? Then I can drink freely! You don't know how I have been here these days. The teachers and wives said that I look like an alcoholic.
, for fear of scaring my junior brother, he refused to let me drink! But I’m so greedy! You can’t ignore it.
Me!" The drunkard smashed the bar and slapped his mouth, and then looked at Li Yunfei with a calm face and said as if to please. At this time, the drunkard was indeed sober, and he was much more energetic than before. It seemed that he did not drink.
, when Li Yunfei smiled, he should let the drunkard behave like this.
"You! You really don't know what's good. You can only drink less wine, but you look like you have been soaked in a wine jar all day long. You are full of the smell of alcohol. Even if your wife doesn't talk about you, I will still take care of you."
I asked you to drink less wine. Since you haven’t drank for many days, I think it’s better to
It's free! I won't take you with me this time!" Li Yunfei looked at the pitiful appearance of the drunkard and couldn't help but smile. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the drunkard. He was able to stop drinking. In Zhang Han's opinion, this was considered a miracle, right?
