Chapter 143: Three Years of Silence
On a winter morning, a tall young man stood in front of a palace, looking at the snow in front of the palace, his brows furrowed, and he sighed for a long time, this person was really Li Chengqian.
The reason why Li Chengqian is like this is entirely because after his arrival, the direction of the Tang Dynasty seems to be different, and the war to destroy the Eastern Turks, which should have happened two years ago, was postponed for two years.
Originally, when Li Chengqian was still thinking about the Eastern Turkic War two years ago, he asked those teenagers under his command to go to the battlefield to get some credit, and at the same time to prove that his cultivation method was okay.
But because of his arrival, most of the merchants were encouraged to go to the Western Regions to do business, and a large number of goods from the Tang Dynasty were sold to the countries of the Western Regions, and a large number of fur horses were brought back.
I thought that this would make the Eastern Turks peep into the Tang Dynasty even more, but what no one expected was that as the merchants brought a large number of goods and even established trading points on the border, the Eastern Turks and even the nobles of the Western Regions enjoyed the prosperous life from the Tang Dynasty, and also let them get a lot of wealth.
This made Jieli Khan, who was originally ambitious and bent on defeating the Tang Dynasty, met with the opposition of many other tribal leaders and nobles when he asked other tribes to invade the Tang Dynasty several times.
For this reason, Jieli launched several attacks on other tribes of the Eastern Turks, he wanted to completely unify the Eastern Turks and destroy the Tang Dynasty, but he did not succeed, and even caused condemnation from other countries in the Western Regions, and even threatened Jieli Khan on the border of Chen Bing.
This was also a great opportunity for Datang, but because of the backwardness of information, when Li Shimin knew, it was too late, and the countries of the Western Regions and the Eastern Turks had already reached a front, that is, to make a little money together and live a good life together.
Originally, Li Shimin had always felt unhappy with the Weishui Alliance, and wanted to find an opportunity to destroy Jieli Khan and the Eastern Turks behind him, so he was also working hard to develop the economy and force, but suddenly the Western Regions countries and the Eastern Turks were so united, so that his plan was completely disrupted, although the Tang Dynasty was very strong at that time, but to fight the countries of the Western Regions alone, there was no suitable excuse, which was obviously unrealistic, and in the end Li Shimin could only accept this reality and put his experience on the economic life.
But he didn't forget that he had been looking for excuses, wanting to be famous and destroy the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop.
But the good death of Jieli Khan did not know where he learned that the princess of Xiangcheng Li Wei had reached the age of being able to leave the cabinet, and actually sent someone to ask for relatives, Jieli's move made the Tang Dynasty angry, in Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and other generals who were eager for war to promote, the Tang Dynasty launched a war against the Eastern Turks in the winter of the fifth year of Zhenguan, which should have been launched two years ago, and this war was also recorded in the later history books as the war of harmony.
In the past three years, many major events have also happened, including Du Ruhui who almost died of illness in the fourth spring of Zhenguan and was rescued by Sun Simiao.
Originally, according to history, Du Ruhui was destined to die that time, but coincidentally, when Du Ruhui just fell ill, because the eldest grandson Wujian was pregnant, Li Chengqian, who was worried about his mother, planned to visit Sun Simiao, who had already been found by Li Chengqian, and wanted him to check the body of his mother, the eldest grandson Wujian, for which Li Chengqian also took a lot of surgical books that he had seen on the TV network in his previous life to find Sun Simiao, so as to impress him.
But before Li Chengqian set off, Li Shimin asked Wang Delai to ask for news of Sun Simiao, and wanted to ask Sun Simiao to treat Du Ruhui, so before Li Chengqian's book was sent out, Sun Simiao was invited to Chang'an by Li Shimin's hundred horsemen, and because he saved the time to find it, Du Ruhui was rescued by Sun Simiao.
After that, without waiting for Li Chengqian to come forward, Li Shimin invited Sun Simiao to check the body of the eldest grandson Wujian, but Li Chengqian didn't know how to check, anyway, his father's face was black in those days.
And it was precisely after these incidents that Li Chengqian chose to fall silent completely, because history has changed dramatically from his already small memory, which made him very frightened, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he chose to be silent and think about his life and future.
During this period, Li Chengqian revolved around books every day, constantly reading and writing every day, and occasionally accompanied Xiao Yier and them to play in the East Palace.
As for other things, he didn't ask at all, in the past three years, whether it was the various workshops under his name, or those teenagers, or Mingwei, and the secret guards of the more than ten teenager organizations in Moli and the original departure, he didn't directly inquire about it, just listened to their reports every once in a while and let them develop according to the aspects formulated by Li Chengqian before.
But even so, after more than three years of development, many of these under his name have developed well, let's say a royal academy of sciences, where there are now a lot of good things that benefit the country and the people, even the glass, cement, and tiles that Li Chengqian has been looking forward to have also been made, and the current craftsmanship is also very skilled.
Even as long as Li Chengqian said a word, these can be put into production more or less overnight, and the output will not be too low, but now they are being shelved in the Royal Academy of Sciences.
However, because these things have never been announced, others don't know, and even because Li Chengqian didn't say anything about the specific use, except for glass being made into handicrafts, the others don't even know what the use of the Mo family who invented them is.
But there is one thing, that really makes many people want to storm the East Palace, that is, the liquor has only appeared in the Royal Restaurant for a few months, and after Li Chengqian calmed down, he asked Zhang Gao to build a huge wine cellar outside the city, and hid all the wine produced in the wine cellar except for his father's.
This also led to the fact that, except for his father's little liquor, Qin Qiong and his grandfather's little medicinal wine, not a drop of liquor flowed outside.
This made the people who had drunk it before, after cutting off the supply of liquor, hated Li Chengqian half to death, but because of Li Chengqian's identity, there was nothing they could do about him.
Because of Li Chengqian's order, although there are still new dishes coming out in the world except for the Royal Restaurant, those who know the inside story know that those dishes were invented by those chefs themselves on the basis of what Li Chengqian taught before, Li Chengqian has not been in the kitchen for almost two years, and many other things that can make a lot of money are only available in the palace, and even only in the East Palace.
