Li Zheng also wanted to train the children, and Li Shimin asked curiously: "I saw that you had trained some children, and you would also teach the children some fighting skills?" Or the Art of War? ”

Li Ke bowed down and replied, "These are not taught. ”

"Why did you pull it out for training?"

Li Ke kept his head down and said, "Just to exercise these children's bodies, perseverance and discipline." ”

These days, Li Shimin also noticed that he seemed to have neglected Li Ke, "Since you are back, you will go back to see your mother, and I will have other arrangements for you in the future war." ”

"The retainers take the order." Li Ke turned to leave.

Li Shimin smiled and said to Wang Ding: "What do you think of Li Ke now?" ”

Wang Ding also smiled and said, "The old slave thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has grown taller again. ”

"Really?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's back and said, "This kid hasn't looked at these gold since he came to me. ”

Wang Ding said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is filial. ”

"Filial piety?" Li Shimin nodded slightly, Li Ke was the most well-behaved among his sons.

Li Shimin, who put away his mood, instructed Wang Ding again: "These days, I will increase the use of Concubine Yang. ”

"Whoa." Wang Ding nodded.

When the gold was placed in front of Li Ke, the king of Shu, Li Shimin asked about Jingyang.

He sent a lot of people to Jingyang, and now the wind and grass in Jingyang are actually under the control of His Majesty.

Li Shimin will ask a few more words in order to explore the mind of Li Ke, the king of Shu.

Now it seems that Li Ke, the king of Shu, has not changed much from before.

At least it's the same as before.

This is what Li Shimin is relieved of.

Wang Ding asked the eunuchs to bring all the gold into the inner treasury.

Li Ke stayed in Chang'an for three days before returning to Jingyang.

The villagers of Jingyang quickly adapted to the use of tricycles, and due to the large number of businesses in Jingyangfang City, the volume of goods in and out has been very large.

In the past, people used to carry oxen and pull them, but now with tricycles, everything is much lighter.

The population has risen to 30,000, which is indeed not a small number.

The question is where to find the population to fill their own Jingyang.

Li Zheng carefully pondered the fact that he now has a lot of iron materials in his hands, and Li Shimin also gave himself the right to make ironware.

After the opening of the second phase of the library, there will be heavenly creations, and Li Zheng is thinking about whether there will be books on the steel industry in the third phase of the library.

Lack of knowledge is a very embarrassing thing, there is a way that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Li Zheng at this moment feels that he is difficult to cook with rice.

Ignoring this issue for the time being, Li Zheng stood up from the edge of the ridge, looked at the wasteland that had been reclaimed, and waited for the cotton to be planted first.

Now the population of Jingyang Village is also a little insufficient, especially when the farming is busy.

Many people work in the fields during the day and in the workshops at night.

In the past two years, Jingyang's original labor force has no left.

Due to the good business in Jingyangfang City, soap, braised pork, and printing workshops are very short of manpower, whether it is paper making or soap.

Li Yifu has told him all these things.

It's just that the people in the village didn't mention it to themselves, and even if they were busy, the aunts would work overtime until night to make the goods to be sold the next day.

Now there is such a large piece of land, which has almost tripled the area of Jingyang.

As a result, there is an increasing shortage of manpower.

Li Ke came back and said, "The gold has been brought over, and my father has already obtained your gold." ”

"I see." Li Zheng nodded and looked at the seemingly empty and cultivated fields, and to the north of this land was a breeding farm covering hundreds of acres.

Today's farms are still expanding, and there may be more expansions in the future, leaving some surplus land that may be of great use in the future.

Li Ke said again: "My father and the emperor have increased the use of my mother's concubine, and I also promised that I will arrange the war in the future." ”

"It's a good thing." Li Zheng nodded and said pertinently.

Li Ke said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

This sentence was said very lightly, and Li Zheng heard it clearly, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu does not need to be polite. ”

Li Ke said to Li Zheng: "Is there anything I need help with?" ”

Li Zheng pondered and said: "Right now, I need the population. ”

"People? How much? ”

Li Zheng said wistfully: "Not more than one or two thousand." ”

"One or two thousand? What do you want so many people to do? ”

Li Ke's gaze was very surprised, now the population of Jingyang County is quite large.

In the past two years, Jingyang has grown from a small village of a few hundred people to a large county with a population of tens of thousands.

This is unique in the Chang'an territory, which county in the Chang'an territory has such a population.

I thought that Li Zheng was only a few dozen or hundreds of people, but it was not a trivial matter to ask for tens of thousands of people at once.

"I need to do a lot of things." Li Zheng explained to Li Ke: "There is a way that economic development is inseparable from construction, and construction is inseparable from population and labor. ”

These words are a bit esoteric to Li Ke, some of them can't figure out the logical relationship, and they touch on the problem of knowledge blind spots, Li Ke feels that it is best to remain silent.

Li Zheng held his chin in his hand and said wistfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu has been in the army before, right?" ”

Li Ke nodded, "Five years in the army." ”

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu should know the people in the army, generally speaking, there will be many veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and they need to find a new job to make a living after coming down from the battlefield." ”

Li Ke still nodded, "That's right." ”

Considering his situation here, Li Zheng said to Li Ke: "In the future, if there are veterans who have retired from the army, they can come to our Jingyang to find work, and I will pay them." ”

Li Ke nodded, "I know some people in the army, this is a good thing, I can help you." ”

"Thank you."

Li Ke glanced at Li Zheng again, turned around and left.

In the Hexi Corridor west of Chang'an, it was very hot, and a group of Tibetan soldiers endured the scorching heat on the Gobi Desert, waiting for orders from Songtsen Gampo.

Wei Chigong rode his horse on a high slope, which was the rear of the Tibetan army.

From here, you can see the Tibetan people stationed there from a distance, and the number of people is about 10,000.

He has been stationed in the Hexi Corridor for a year, and Wei Chigong's face has obvious scars.

Staring at the Tibetan army in the distance, with a disdainful smile on his face, he praised the soldiers under Gampo's men for being too loose, and they were simply a group of rabble.

The scout came and said: "General, there is also a large army of Tibetan soldiers and horses thirty miles to the north and south. ”

After confirming the situation, Wei Chigong's heart also had a rough idea.

This is similar to the situation that His Majesty sent it quickly.

Wei Chigong immediately ordered: "The soldiers are divided into two routes, encircling and suppressing this Tubo army, the action must be fast, and we will withdraw after the battle." ”

"Whoa!"
