"So the top priority now is to send a mission to Baekje and ask Baekje to implement the contents of the national letter. ”

Chen Zhengtai paused, and said: "So the minister proposed to let Lou Shide lead the sailors to Baekje and start building the Baekje Water Village. Erchen checked, there is a small coastal town, this place is called 'Maizhaohu', but this name is too awkward, so Erchen plans to change this place to 'Incheon', this point, Erchen has already discussed with Baekje sent Tang envoy Buyeo Hong, they agreed. ”

"Incheon is a place near the sea, close to the royal city of Baekje, and not far from the royal capital of Goguryeo. In addition, according to the hydrology of this place, this is a natural harbor, because this place is not only backed by Baekje King City, but also has a large island in the nearby sea, and the location of this island and Incheon Port as a water village can make our Datang sailors in a place that can be attacked and defended. ”

After selecting the site, Erchen planned to have a large number of craftsmen among the people who visited with the sailors for the future construction of the water village, and also needed to keep a group of sailors in the future, in addition, to recruit some merchants to go to Baekje to inspect and lay the foundation for future commerce. Of course...... As long as the Baekje side decides to implement the promise in the letter of state, then the Supervision Yuan should be set up immediately, and the location of this Supervision Yuan is also within the scope of Shuizhai, and the requisitioned scribes and guards can also be sent by my Tang Dynasty. As for the specific matters, in this Baekje country, in the future, the merchants will also be asked to choose a president of the chamber of commerce, so that the interests of the Tang Dynasty in Baekje can be considered balanced. ”

"The business of the merchant shall be handed over to the president of the Chamber of Commerce; Government affairs are the responsibility of the imperial historian; Militarily, it is the captain of the water division in Incheon Water Village who is in charge. The three parties, of course, are still responsible for deciding major affairs with the imperial history of the government, and between the three, they must not only check and balance each other, but also help each other. ”

Chen Zhengtai's idea is very meticulous.

Li Shimin listened very carefully, and when Chen Zhengtai finished speaking, he said thoughtfully: "This is the words of seeking the country, what else do you think?" ”

The others hadn't spoken yet.

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "The minister thinks that what Chen Zhengtai said is very true, so let's do it, since His Majesty ordered Chen Zhengtai to handle the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, then he should be entrusted with full powers, and there is no need to ask the opinions of the hundred officials for everything." ”

Li Shimin smiled, looking very satisfied with the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then said: "It makes sense. It's just that Chen Zhengtai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, let the businessmen nominate him, and there is no problem with this. But who is the captain of Incheon Water Village? ”

Chen Zhengtai already had a suitable candidate, so he said: "Lou Shide has a brother, called Lou Shixian, last time, he also went on an expedition with his brother, and he has a lot of prestige in the water village. He was ordered to recruit a thousand sailors, and give him more than a dozen ships, two or three thousand auxiliaries and sailors, and a number of craftsmen, to be stationed at Incheon. ”

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Have the officials heard of this person?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Yangzhou Shuizhai there, did report this person's name, this person is quite brave, has made great contributions, and Lou Shide is a brother, the official department here does plan to promote his official position, as a captain." ”

"Since this person is familiar with the situation in Incheon and Baekje, it would be best to appoint him as the captain of Incheon." Li Shimin nodded: "It's just that people are overseas, and it's quite hard." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Wherever the courtiers go, they are all for His Majesty's loyalty, where is there any hard work to speak of?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji appreciatively, and said ...... He loves to listen. He glanced at the ministers, and it was quite meaningful, as if to say, let's learn from the eldest grandson's family.

"And what about the candidates for the Imperial History?" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai again.

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said: "The retainer is also having a headache for the selection of the imperial history, on the one hand, this imperial history is responsible for negotiating with Baekje. At the same time, he must strictly investigate the illegal affairs of Baekje, and even need to represent the image of the entire Tang Dynasty. Erchen thought about it, Ma Zhou was the most suitable, but unfortunately, Ma Zhou was in the East Palace, so he was afraid that it should not be moved lightly. After that, Erchen thought of Deng Jian again, but Deng Jian was born in poverty, and he dealt with the nobles of Baekje, so he needed to let them see the majesty of my Tang Dynasty. Ultimately...... Erchen thinks it is more suitable to be the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest grandson Chong is full of poetry and books, can promote the culture of my Tang Dynasty, and comes from the eldest grandson's family, it is indescribably expensive, he is a person who is truly knowledgeable and reasonable, and he will be able to make the whole country of Baekje happy and convinced. On top of that, he is enthusiastic and young, which is a great opportunity for him. ”

Li Shimin: "......"

Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"

There was silence in the hall.

Fang Xuanling chuckled in his heart, and then immediately said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this move is very appropriate. ”

Fang Xuanling is afraid, it's Ma Zhou again, it's Deng Jian again, and now it's the eldest grandson Chong, if you don't let the eldest grandson Chong go later, wouldn't you recommend Fang Yiai next?

Everyone saw that Fang Xuanling strongly agreed, Fang Xuanling was the prime minister, who dared not take this opportunity to show a thing or two? So they said: "Yes, the eldest grandson is the best." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said: "Wait, Your Majesty...... Chong'er, he is still young. ”

Chen Zhengtai, what are you doing to me?

This is my own son.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he immediately said with a heartfelt voice: "Age is not the same. ”

"But......" Soybean's sweat oozed from the forehead of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he hurriedly said, "This Baekje Mountain is far away......

Fang Xuanling immediately said: "You can't say that, didn't the eldest grandson also say it?" When the courtiers got there, they all served His Majesty, so where was the hardship? The eldest grandson Chong can take care of himself. ”

Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was already so heartbroken that he wanted to faint.

That's Baekje, barren land.

He couldn't help but look at Chen Zhengtai angrily.

Chen Zhengtai didn't dare to look at him, he was really not a random choice, thinking about it, he could only be the candidate of the eldest grandson Chong, in fact, Fang Yiai can also be, but Fang Yiai is too young.

If you send other imperial historians, those clear streams, what do you expect them to do?

Li Shimin said at this time: "Since this is the case, according to what Chen Zhengtai said, this matter is decided." It's just that...... Zhengtai, I want to see the results, if there is no effect, but the national affairs are mistaken, then I will ask you. ”

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "Huh." ”

That's it? Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji only felt that he was top-heavy, and the whole person was in a trance!

His patriarch Sun Chong is going to Baekje, and he is going to the place where he crosses the ocean, this ...... Life and death.

God knows how long it will take to come back.

After talking about what should be talked about today, Li Shimin dispersed the ministers, and Chen Zhengtai left in a hurry.

Later, the eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and chased after him, shouting angrily: "Chen Zhengtai." ”

The sound was too loud, Chen Zhengtai was embarrassed to pretend not to hear, so he had to stop obediently and salute the eldest grandson Wuji who caught up: "The eldest grandson is ......."

"...... you" The eldest grandson Wuji Xingshi glared at him questioningly, "Isn't the old man good enough for you on weekdays, what else do you have to say?" ”

"There is nothing to say."

"But why are you ......?"

Chen Zhengtai said embarrassedly: "The eldest grandson Xianggong, the first imperial history sent out in the world is the eldest grandson Chong." As long as this national policy is accomplished, then ...... All countries should follow this example, this new national policy, many people have no experience, as long as the eldest grandson Chong is self-defeating, his experience can be extended in the future. Does the eldest grandson know what this means? Imply...... This is a great achievement, and the reason why I recommend Changsun Chong is because Changsun Chong is a capable and responsible person. On the other hand, with such a good thing, with the friendship of our two families, how can I not take care of him? The husband should make meritorious contributions, just like Zhang Qian out of the plug and Su Wu shepherding sheep. ”

Zhang Qian is out of the plug...... Actually, it's understandable.

Su Wu shepherded sheep, which made the eldest grandson Wuji bared his teeth.

"Chong'er he ......"

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said: "Don't worry, in fact, you won't suffer anything, if you go there, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, that's what you can do!" Okay, eldest grandson, you can believe me once. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked helpless and sighed: "It's all at this time, Your Majesty has already made up your mind, what else can I do?" It's just that...... It's just that...... Hey......"

He shook his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Fang Xuanling's old dog, he is really a thief, he is afraid that his son Fang Xuanling will love him, and he is constantly playing right and wrong there, the dignified prime minister, hiding such selfishness, it is really not a thing." ”

Chen Zhengtai kept a smile on his face, anyway, he didn't scold himself, he cared about me.

This is called instigating Shangshu to fight the prime minister.

Later, sure enough, I saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walking over slowly, and Chen Zhengtai took the opportunity to run first as a respect.

When the eldest grandson Chong learned that he was about to go to Baekje, he was actually quite happy, and he came to find Chen Zhengtai with tears in his eyes, and gave Chen Zhengtai a big salute: "The student has seen the master, and the student never imagined that the master and ancestor attach so much importance to the student, and the student will definitely do his best when he arrives in Baekje, and he will never disappoint the master." ”

Chen Zhengtai comforted him and said: "This trip to Baekje is very important, if it is superfluous, I will not say it, this matter is related to the success or failure of the new tributary policy, I value you very much, I wanted to recommend Deng Jian and them to go, but after thinking about it, you are the most suitable." ”

The eldest grandson's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "To be so loved by the ancestor is to lose his life in Baekje, and he will not hesitate to do so." ”

Chen Zhengtai is very pleased, he likes this guy.

…………

Li Shimin was in a good mood at this time.

Leaving the affairs of the Three Kingdoms of Baekje to Chen Zhengtai doesn't seem to have to worry about it himself.

The only thing he regretted was about copying the Dou family.

It's been more than half a year, and there hasn't been any news.

Chen Zhengtai is really a crow's mouth, and he always says that copying Dou's house is not smooth.

At first, Li Shimin took this as a deaf ear, the Dou family may indeed have hidden a lot of wealth, but I sent Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and even Yushitai to raid the house together, not to mention eight or ninety, at least sixty or seventy percent of the wealth can still be copied.

But left and right, several times called people to ask, only to say that the bottom is still continuing to follow the vine, and no results have come out so far.

This is ...... It seems to have become a heart disease for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sat firmly at this time and glanced at Zhang Qian on the side: "Zhang Lishi." ”

Zhang Qian hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said: "The matter of copying the Dou family, has it not come to fruition yet?" ”

"This ......"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Qian became cautious and said busily: "Your Majesty, I haven't heard any results for the time being." ”

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded: "It's been so long, if you copy it again, I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”

Zhang Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't say that." This...... This ......"

"What is this?" Li Shimin saw that Zhang Qian had something to say.

Zhang Qian was obviously very entangled in his heart, and finally said, "No...... It's nothing. ”

Li Shimin said coldly: "It's better to let Chen Zhengtai copy it, this guy is good at arithmetic." Hey......"

Zhang Qian's face was blank, but he stood aside silently, not daring to speak.

Li Shimin felt very strange, but he still couldn't help but say: "At the beginning, Chen Zhengtai said that the matter of copying the Dou family was ...... There could be some trouble, right? ”

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Li Shimin said: "It's really strange. ”

He shook his head: "Let's go ask again, we can't always be fruitless." ”

Zhang Qian had no choice but to say: "The slave will ask tomorrow." ”

But at this time, a eunuch came in a hurry, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, asks to see you." ”

Li Shimin said casually: "What is he doing here?" ”

"It was said that it was a case of raiding the Dou family, and there is a result."

When Li Shimin heard this, he raised his eyebrows, then became excited, stood up excitedly, and said happily: "Let him come in and talk." ”

After a while, Sun Fujia came in and saluted: "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said: "What's the matter, there is a result in the Dou family?" ”

Sun Fujia said solemnly: "There is a result." ”

Li Shimin was interested: "How much has been confiscated, and is there an amount?" ”

"Does Your Majesty want to see the details, or the final amount of the discount?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Let's give a general idea first, how much is the discount?" ”

"Three hundred and ten thousand yuan, Your Majesty...... Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai dispatched 7,300 manpower, and finally recovered all the gold, silver, jewelry, land, mansion, cash, etc., totaling 310,000 yuan. ”

Li Shimin's face ...... All of a sudden, it sank.

You know, even if it was the Dou family's stock at the beginning, it was not only this number.
