"West to Yumen Pass, east to the sea!"

The hundred officials suddenly raised their heads, and they were shaken by Li Shimin's ambition, and the construction of the road from the west to the Yumen Pass and the east to the sea, which will be a brick road across the Tang Dynasty.

"Not bad!" Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said, "This line connects Longyou Road, Guannei Road, and Henan Road, and is four thousand miles long. ”

"Four thousand miles!" Baiguan suddenly shook, this is not a small project in this era.

Although the brick road is cheap and the project is simple, it can't hold the long route! The amount of money spent must have multiplied.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious, along the Longhai line brick road are the economic center of the Tang Dynasty, once the construction is completed, the benefits are naturally unlimited.

However, this time, no one in the hundred officials objected, once the construction of the Longhai Line brick road was completed, the Datang East and West would be unimpeded. So far, there is the Grand Canal in the north-south direction of Datang, and the Longhai Line in the east-west direction, and a cross traffic line has been formally formed in Datang.

"Please also do what you can, and don't repeat the mistakes of the past like the Grand Canal." Wei Zheng said persuadingly. Wei Zheng did not oppose the construction of roads, but dissuaded Li Shimin not to be in a hurry, anyone can see the benefits of brick roads, but if the people are excessively requisitioned, if a good thing becomes a bad thing, it will be very bad.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Wei Aiqing can rest assured, the brick road construction project is simple, the people along the way are competent, and there are bond issuances, mainly employing people, which will definitely not affect the lives of the people." ”

The biggest cost of building a brick road is not manpower, but money, especially the money to buy bricks, the three major natural disasters have a solution, the Tang Dynasty will reduce disasters in the future, and in terms of money, I am afraid it is not a problem.

Wei Zheng naturally thought of this, and did not advise again, bowed and returned to the queue.

Everyone's minds floated, when Mo Jiazi built the brick road in the south of the city, he had already imagined the grand and grand brick road map connected by the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone shook their heads and denied it, and now it has only been a few months, Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Henan Road, and the three roads of the Tang Dynasty have been connected into a piece, and it will be far from the connection of the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty?

At the entrance of the Taiji Palace, the corners of Merton's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, once Datang tasted the benefits of the brick road, he would definitely embark on a high-speed development of the wild road, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to.

Almost all of the entire court meeting became a performance of the Mo family, and almost all the merits of the hundred officials worthy of praise were related to the Mo family.

As the topics are passed, everyone can't help but smile knowingly, and if this continues, Datang will definitely become stronger and stronger.

Only then did everyone remember that as early as the beginning of the year, at the ink art exhibition, Morton was full of confidence in the arrival of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that at that time, everyone only thought that Morton was just a yellow-haired boy, slapping his beard and slapping horses, full of nonsense.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, everyone had a hunch that the prosperous era predicted by Merton would come soon,

Soon, when it was the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting, there was only one last topic left, that is, the rebellion of the Southwest Bureaucrats, which was probably the only thing to worry about in the seven years of Zhenguan.

"Back to Your Majesty, in May, the Yazhou Daoist rebelled, and Zhang Shigui, the head of the Yazhou Dao March, pursued the rebels and returned with a great victory. In December, Jiazhou and Lingzhou rebelled, and Niu Jinda, the commander of Hanjiang Prefecture, had already entered the two states, and there was no news yet. "The military department Shangshu Hou Jun gathered to report.

Suddenly, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, the bureaucrats are the most headache of the Tang Dynasty, the southwest bureaucrats occupy dangerous places, and the imperial court is mostly appeased, but Rao is so, it is still a constant rebellion, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the rebellion of the southwest bureaucrats can be said to be repeatedly banned, and this year is particularly serious, and the bureaucrats in three states rebelled within a year.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, General Niu has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can the bureaucrats of the two states make big waves." The eldest grandson Wuji comforted.

Li Shimin nodded, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not a problem for defeating the poorly equipped wingmen.

"The rebellion of the wingmen has been banned repeatedly, and you Aiqing think how to govern it." Li Shimin frowned and said, the wingmen have repeatedly rebelled, not to mention the losses, and the impact is extremely bad.

The ministers were silent for a while.

Hou Junji, as the secretary of the military department, only said: "Back to Your Majesty, the rebellion of the bureaucrats has been repeatedly banned, which shows that he is extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court, and the last general thinks that the imperial court needs to hoard heavy troops in the southwest to prepare for it, and severely punish the rebellious bureaucrats to set an example." ”

Hou Junji's mouth was full of murder, and he obviously wanted to make an example of the bureaucrats and deter them.

Li Shimin lowered his head and thought about it, he was also very annoyed by the rebellion of the wingmen, if he could put the rebellion of the wingmen once and for all, he would be a little moved.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done?" Kong Yingda stepped out.

"The people of the five directions are all Chinese, the king loves and the four yi, His Majesty is respected as the Khan of the Heavens, and my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, only to convince people with virtue and educate the ,......"

Kong Yingda sprinkled a lot of flowers, advocating the Confucian policy of restraint and gentleness.

Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly and said: "Pedantic, in this way, why do you use Niu Zhang and the two generals, the wingmen rebel, if you let Master Kong use one mouth to quell the rebellion." ”

Kong Yingda's face turned pale suddenly, and said: "Old man Cheng, don't be presumptuous, the rebellion of the bureaucrats is the fault of the local bureaucrats Tusi, how innocent the bureaucrats are, how can they kill innocents indiscriminately, isn't it detrimental to the saintliness of the Son of Heaven."

Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly: "Anyone who picks up arms and targets the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty!" There is no such thing as being innocent against the enemy. ”

All of a sudden, Wenchen and the military generals were in constant dispute, one side advocated Huairou, and the other side advocated deterrence by force and strong suppression.

"The people of the four Yi are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I will definitely treat them equally, and the rebellion of the bureaucrats will only punish the evil." Li Shimin finally chose Wenchen.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Baiguan bowed and said.

"The rebellion of the bureaucrats is just a state land, and the rest of the bureaucrats will take over and defend themselves, and the court will send envoys to appease the non-rebel bureaucrats, and at the same time quell the rebellion of the bureaucrats, and send them back to Chang'an for trial by the three divisions." Wei Zhengdao.

Li Shimin suddenly nodded slightly and said: "What Wei Aiqing said is very true, this is the way of governing the country through old age. ”

Feng Zhidai suddenly came out and said: "Lingnan Dao is also a bureaucracy, and the Feng family can mediate and persuade the bureaucrats to join the imperial court." ”

He was embarrassed in front of Li Shimin because of Johor rice, and when he saw this opportunity at this moment, he naturally immediately expressed his merits, the Feng family has a very high status among the southwestern bureaucrats and has a lot of right to speak, if he can promote this matter, he will definitely be able to raise his face in front of the imperial court.

"Feng Aiqing has a heart, and the southwest is stable and the public residence of Gengguo is very great." Li Shimin said with emotion.

Feng Zhidai suddenly looked proud, as long as the southwest was inseparable from the Feng family, his position in Chang'an City would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Wechen is against!" Just when Feng Zhidai was proud, a voice that made him unforgettable suddenly said.

"Mo Jiazi!"

Feng Zhidai gritted his teeth in his heart.
