Regarding some of the content of Wang Hao's interview with him, Sun Xiangfu had to explain it clearly to Li Shimin in advance, because there was too obvious conspiracy in it.

"I can't imagine that among the children of the Wang family, there is such an existence, pharmacist, what do you think."

Li Shimin's information was not limited to Shanyang, but also the information from Goguryeo from Hebei Province.

Combined with what Sun Xiangfu said about Wang Hao's plan, Li Shimin and Li Jing are not stupid, and they can already predict that a big coup d'état is about to occur in Goguryeo, and Wang Hao just wants to lead the Tang Dynasty into Goguryeo at this moment to eliminate this big threat in the northeast.

However, at this time, Datang is facing the instability of the situation at the beginning of the reform, and the country has no strategic reserves, even if Sun Xiangfu's Shanyang seems to be in a good situation, but this time the burning of the forage warehouse has reminded everyone that although the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is a nest of more nutritious eggs, it is now put in a basket, once this basket is overturned, all things will disappear, and the war will be together, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will move this crooked mind.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to go to war at this time."

Hearing Li Jing say this, Sun Xiangfu's heart relaxed slightly, because he had the same opinion as Li Jing, before the second county-level city and the third county-level city of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate were built, it was not appropriate to use troops externally, because he could not afford to fail.

After expressing his main opinion, Li Jing explained, "The Goguryeo people are different from the steppe tribes, they have a large number of mobile cavalry, and infantry who are good at defensive warfare, and they also have the advantage of defending strong cities and terrain, and the war with them will definitely be delayed for a long time. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, Your Majesty, the former Sui and Goguryeo's several battles, although they crushed their economy, but also achieved their military, they are facing the city in the direction of my Tang Dynasty, all of them are difficult to defend and difficult to attack, in my Tang Dynasty is about to enter a stage of rapid development, take human lives to fill these fortresses, the gains outweigh the losses.

Moreover, the minister thought that His Majesty took the political road of absorption and integration, just like wearing clothes and buttoning buttons, the first button was right, and all the rest were right, as long as he went down this political road, it may not be impossible to let Goguryeo collapse from the inside, and take it in the most labor-saving way. ”

Historically, it was Gojong Yi Zhi who finally conquered Goguryeo, and why was he able to do it! Because he implemented Li Shimin's core politics very well, he made the country rich and strong first.

Now, this so-called core politics has just been established, and we can't deviate because of a little temptation, and when the domestic economy has not taken off, we will fight everywhere, and the final result is likely to be that the chickens and eggs are beaten, and nothing has been accomplished.

Sun Xiangfu's words made Li Shimin ponder.

At this moment, although he felt a little regretful, he had basically decided to follow the advice of Li Jing and Sun Xiangfu and ignore Goguryeo for the time being.

However, Fang Xuanling's suggestion made his eyes shine.

"Your Majesty, if it is really as Zhengming said, Wang Hao may provoke a coup d'état and rebellion within Goguryeo, in fact, we still have some aspects that can operate."

Fang Xuanling didn't say that he would go to war, but he said that it could be operated, so it meant that there was a advantage to take advantage of, so the three of them all looked at him.

"Your Majesty, there are fast boats in Lingnan, once there is a war in Goguryeo, there must be many people in their country who want to escape the war, so we just take it in from the coast and transport it back to Datang to enrich the population of our Datang.

In addition, when two tigers fight, there will be an injury, if the defeated wounded tiger can be surrendered, then, when the Tang Dynasty attacks Goguryeo, it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

What is strategy?

It's called strategy.

No matter what kind of situation arises in Goguryeo, taking advantage of the advantages and planning for the future is the most important thing that a strategist should think of.

"Fang Xiang's words are reasonable, I immediately sent a letter to Feng Ang and asked him to wait for the opportunity to move."

Li Shimin said this, and Sun Xiangfu also secretly thought in his heart that he should give Zhao Long an order, if he had the opportunity, he could get the king of Goguryeo, or his heirs, to the Tang Dynasty, and then when he did it to Goguryeo, it would really be twice the result with half the effort.

After Fang Xuanling's strategy was finished, Sun Xiangfu said again, "Your Majesty, the minister requests to return to Shanyang immediately to preside over the situation. ”

"Return to Shanyang? Isn't it around April that the snow will begin to melt over there, and if you go now, the spring ploughing in the land of Guanzhong may be safe? Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

If it was this time in previous years, the people of Guanzhong had just begun to be busy with spring ploughing, but this year, it was already busy to the end, mainly those who were from the family lineage, and the official fields returned to the imperial court by the officials had not been planted.

Sun Xiangfu replied, "This year's main crops do not have too many new varieties, there are many skilled farmers in Xingfu Village who know how to plant, as long as they do a good job of passing, helping, and bringing, there should be no problem, after all, it is the first year of large-scale promotion of intensive cultivation, planting these crops, and it is impossible to achieve all of them perfectly."

In addition, there is a lot of land that needs to be reclaimed and planted in the jurisdiction of the government this year, which is related to the enthusiasm of the sons of the family for the land outside the customs. And the people over there, may not have seen these crops, after the minister returns, the early spread of farming knowledge is also very important, if your reform is smooth, please set off for the north tour as soon as possible, and then bring more skilled farmers to Shanyang, after the initial more than a month of wasteland, Shanyang will also enter the period of rushing seeds, these skilled farmers, can play a big role. ”

Although Sun Xiangfu formulated a three-year plan for a type of land, he must have wanted to complete some development in advance, only when the development of farmland is completed, he will have the capital and manpower to carry out more urban and road infrastructure, just like Guanzhong, after all the cement roads are passed, the efficiency of the entire administrative management has been improved a lot, and the emperor can control the place more directly and quickly.

"In that case, you can make arrangements and set off! By the way, those disciples of your peasant sect should stay in Guanzhong to be safer, and when I make a northern tour, I will take them to Shanyang together. ”

Li Shimin in his heart, of course, attaches more importance to the development of Guanzhong, there are formal disciples of the peasant sect, in terms of technology, there will be more guarantees, he has so far, has deeply felt that if the Tang country wants to develop rapidly, it cannot leave these peasant disciples.

Sun Xiangfu went back to his home to write a letter to Zhao Long, and Li Shimin continued to discuss Goguryeo matters with Fang Xuanling and Li Jing.

"Feng Deshou is the captain of the horse, Princess Shang Linchuan? This, who is Princess Linchuan? ”

"Hehe, Princess Linchuan, but the first daughter born by His Majesty and Concubine Wei's mother, named Meng Jiang, this number has just been sealed because of marriage, and it is normal for Sun Dudu not to know."

Wang De looked at Sun Xiangfu with a smile on his face, and the holy decree in his hand was raised for a long time, waiting for Sun Xiangfu to receive the decree.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu seemed to be relieved, and his mouth was broken, "It's good if it's not Gao Yang, it's good if it's not Gao Yang!" ”

The eldest brother is the father, for Sun Deshou's marriage, Sun Xiangfu accepted the decree, that is an ironclad matter, Wang Deyong finished the errand, and then he put his mind at ease, he couldn't understand why the emperor was worried that Sun Xiangfu would not accept the decree.

However, since the matter has been done, it is a happy event, first said two words of congratulations and congratulations, Wang Decai said, "The queen mother and Concubine Wei are very satisfied with this marriage." ”

Sun Xiangfu didn't understand the meaning of these words, but Yu Xiu'er, who received the order with him, understood, and hurriedly said, "Tomorrow, the concubine will definitely go to the harem to thank her." ”

Hearing this, Wang De nodded with satisfaction and left.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu came back to his senses.

Damn, next door, the emperor himself took the initiative to ask for a dowry, and it was so blatant to ask for a dowry, it was so shameless.

I'm thinking about how to tell my second brother about this! Yu Xiu'er asked, "Husband, how to go about this ceremony, you have an idea!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't all our family's money in your hands, you just call the shots." ”

Yu Xiu'er shook her head with a smile and said, "The money in our treasury is all going to be pulled to Weinan to build a new city, and there is no money left." ”

"Could it be that I, a county prince, a second-class feudal official, and a super-rich man worth hundreds of millions of dollars, can't even afford to pay my brother's wedding dowry?"

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Yu Xiu'er just looked at him with a smile and nodded again.

Facing Yu Xiu'er's smile, Sun Xiangfu was very frustrated, raised his head depressedly, and exhaled angrily, "Then let's go to Happy Village to get some souvenirs for the emperor's family!" ”

Yu Xiu'er sneered and was about to nod again, but felt a feeling of nausea gushing out of her stomach.

"Hmm, the concubine wants to vomit."

Seeing Yu Xiu'er's sudden discomfort, Sun Xiangfu was anxious, "Want to vomit?" But if you eat something bad, no, you want to vomit, do you really want to vomit? ”

Sun Xiangfu didn't react at first, but after seeing Yu Xiu'er retching but couldn't vomit anything, he suddenly thought of something, and his face instantly became exciting.

"Spring peach, red plum, hurry, hurry up and ask the doctor, no, go to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to come ······"

Soon, after a burst of chickens and dogs, the second good news of Sun's Mansion spread in Chang'an City, and Yu Xiu'er was happy.

Since the imperial doctor came to diagnose it, Sun Xiangfu rolled up his sleeves and happily walked around his hall, one was not careful, and it was easy to hit the pillar, and he forgot to tell Sun Deshou who rushed back to give him a good word about the marriage, or Sun Deshou himself saw the holy decree placed on the incense cabinet in the hall, and only then did he know that he was actually a captain of the horse.

"That, longevity! Our family is all talented, so the emperor is also greedy when he sees it, this matter of the horse, if you want to be it, you can do it, if you don't want to be it, you can fight for your brother, and you can also help you withdraw this marriage. ”

"Withdrawn? Why do I want to return? can be a colt, but my brother can't ask for it! You don't see how happy the people in the village are every time you are promoted! Only the bigger your officials do, the more secure their rich life will be, and now, it is also my brother's turn to take some responsibility for the big guys. ”

Hearing Sun Deshou, who was only twelve years old, say this, Sun Xiangfu was very moved, he was already sensible. In the family of the high-ranking and powerful ministers of the Tang Dynasty, there will definitely be an heir of Princess Shang, so that the emperor will rest assured. The next generation of the Sun family can't be counted on, and the first one has just been conceived! When he reaches the age of marriage, Li Shimin is almost hiccuping, so Sun Deshou will be on top, which is the best result.
