Since ancient times, it has always been difficult to reach a consensus on the opinions of civil and military generals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Longji became emperor for seven years from the time of his congenital years.

It is not uncommon for this civil and military to disagree, and it is not uncommon for him, the emperor, to make the final decision.

Now that the civil and military are united, Li Longji is surprised, but he can't see through the general's mind for a while, and he can't help but worry about whether Pei Min can withstand the civil and military attacks.

This is unanimous, and he, the emperor, is not easy to refuse, so he can only say: "Mo Liyi was obtained by Pei Qing with great difficulty, I think my Tang Dynasty soldiers are powerful, Zhenguan and Yonghui are so brilliant, and they have expanded their territory for tens of thousands of miles." After decades of development, the territory has been lost, and the war achievements are not obvious. Now that it is not easy to recover the territory, and also seize the strategic place of Tubo, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, and it will also chill the hearts of the soldiers, so I will listen to Pei Qing's opinion before deciding. ”

When Wenwu heard Li Longji say this, he did not refuse.

Although Pei Min is not the commander of this mobilization, he is the commander-in-chief, as long as he is convinced, the big thing can be decided.

Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to call Pei Min.

The hundred officials did not wait, but discussed with each other on how to develop the Jiuqu land in Hexi.

Until Pei Min's arrival.

Facing Pei Min, Wang Ju didn't look aggressive, after all, Pei Min is famous! This guy is on the battlefield and down to the rivers and lakes, and he can write poems and essays with a pen, and he can make up sentences and scold people with his mouth open, which is really difficult to deal with.

As a last resort, Wang Ju didn't want to offend him, and said with a bit of sincerity: "Pei Guogong, my Tang Dynasty has finally had today's situation through the two Zhang Chaoguo, Wei Hou's chaotic government, and Taiping's dictatorship. His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, has the spirit of Taizong, and is determined to develop. For the people of the world to be stable, reclaim wasteland, and build canals. and the implementation of military control and horse politics, everything is a move for the benefit of the country and the people! ”

"However, the national strength is limited, and the manpower is limited! Just like Yang Guang in the Sui period. In all fairness, Yang Guang's opening of the canal and the construction of Dongdu are really unrighteous moves? In fact, it is not necessarily the case, the canal was opened to connect the south of the Yangtze River, and the east was built to determine the status of the two capitals. There is nothing wrong with this, but he ignores labor, ignores the livelihood of the people, and ignores the burden of the state. So much so that in order to escape from forced labor, the people broke their hands and feet, laughing and calling them blessed hands and feet. As a direct result, in just over ten years, the people of the world revolted hundreds of times, and the Sui Dynasty collapsed and collapsed. Ignoring the people, ignoring the people's livelihood, and abusing the people's power is a thief of the people. ”

"Of course...... Your Majesty is wise and martial, isn't it comparable to Yang Guang? It's just that the treasury is not rich now, not to mention the recruitment of troops and horses, as well as the development of the Jiuqu land in Hexi and the dredging of the Grand Canal, all of which need to be allocated by the Ministry of Households. I am not afraid of the jokes of the national government, and the treasury of the household department is insufficient. Sending military horses to stick to the station, military salaries, grain, grass, equipment, etc. are not a small amount. ”

This stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling person, Wang Ju has such an attitude, Pei Min is not easy to slap him, and said with a smile: "Wang Shangshu is reasonable!" A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. As future generations, we should pay more attention to the experience of our predecessors. Just ......"

Wang Ju was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard "just" a heart hanging in his mouth again.

Pei Min said: "Shangshu is fooling Tubo!" If you don't know the situation, do you think that Tibet is located on a high place, where the environment is harsh, barren and dilapidated? ”

"Big mistake!"

He said these four words heavily, and said: "Tubo is making a fortune behind closed doors, without seeing it with his own eyes, without seeing it with his own eyes, ordinary people can't imagine the richness of Qinghai Lake." ”

Wang Ju looked at Pei Min inexplicably.

Pei Min said: "For example, the 800-mile plain in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty is known as the land of abundance, Jiangnan is known as the land of fish and rice, and the resources of Qinghai Lake are by no means inferior to Guanzhong and Jiangnan. ”

After listening to Pei Min's words, some people were moved, and some people were incredulous.

Pei Min continued: "Tubo produces salt, everyone knows it! But you don't know how rich they are in terms of salt resources! One salt field can meet the salt needs of all the people in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, far beyond the imagination of all of you......"

As soon as he said this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty straightened their eyes.

When Pei Min traveled to Qinghai that year, the tour guide told him that there are more than 100 large and small salt lakes in Qinghai, and the salt reserves of one of the larger salt lakes are enough to be used in the world for decades or hundreds of years.

If you include the Zarkhan Salt Lake in the southern part of Qinghai's Qaidam Basin, it is enough for seven billion people in the world to eat for thousands of years, and there is still no way to eat it......

So the so-called salt cut during the SARS period was actually a joke!

Because the salt of Qinghai Salt Lake is almost inexhaustible, and the food is not as much as it regenerates.

Pei Min ignored the expressions of the civil and military officials, and said to himself: "To the west of Moliyi, there is a small salt lake, which should be enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty to eat for fifty years." In the west, across the Dafei River, there is a Chaka salt lake. It is the smallest of the four major salt lakes, not much, and it is enough for me to eat in Datang for 1,800 years. It is not comparable to the Zarkhan salt lake in the hinterland. ”

The brains of civil and military officials are a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, salt is a strategic material, and no one in the world can leave salt for a day, but it is a huge profit in a profiteering.

Because of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the appointment of the salt and iron official camp, and it is still used today.

The salt tax was a major source of the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and the inexhaustible salt was an inexhaustible gold and copper coin!

"So!" Pei Min raised his voice and said: "I don't want to leave the post, that is, I have long-term thinking, and I also have near-term considerations. Several major salt-producing bases in our Datang are all on the seaside, and the closest to us is also in the East China Sea. The salt used in my Guanzhong, Longyou, and Liangzhou comes to the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away, and the transportation cost can be imagined. Moreover, there was a shortage of salt in the Western Regions, and Tubo mastered the salt resources and sold them at a high price in the Western Regions for huge profits. In order to save trouble, I also had to ask for it to buy it. Nowadays, the salt of Moliyi can be used in Guanzhong, Longyou, Liangzhou, and even the Western Regions. How much will you save on shipping and how much money will you earn? I don't know if you've thought about it? ”

"For the sake of Tubo's little double tribute, quit Mo Liyi?" Pei Min said with a bit of mockery: "That's the biggest stupid person, the stupid act of throwing watermelons for the sake of flax." ”

Flax is sesame seeds!

The first to react was Wang Ju, the head of the household department, the pioneer who opposed the garrison Mo Liyi, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Weichen is ignorant, and he doesn't know that Qinghai Lake is so rich. The minister proposed that the troops should be increased immediately, and the household department was willing to call on craftsmen to fund the construction of Moli City. ”

The attitude of this Tobe Shangshu immediately changed dramatically.

This time the military attache was dumbfounded, and Ge Fu said: "I'm afraid that this will cause panic in Tibet and start another war!" ”

Pei Min was about to speak, but Wang Ju took the first step and said sharply: "As a military attaché, General Ge is not ashamed to say such war-like words!" As a general in the DPRK, when the enemy is coming, how can there be any reason to retreat when he leads the troops to fight! ”

Ge Fushun took a mouthful of old blood and almost spurted out.

Li Longji looked at this change blankly, a little speechless.
