Chapter Sixty-Eight: Advancing in Battle
"Presumptuous, you dare to insult Master Confucius, Your Majesty, please reprimand this fang."
"Please reprimand this fang······"
Boom, the civil officials in the court almost knelt down ninety percent, and even Sun Xiangfu's father-in-law, Yu Chang, had to bow down with the stream, this is after the saint! Why doesn't this kid know how to use words!
Li Shimin was very embarrassed, he very much agreed with what Sun Xiangfu said, now that Datang is in trouble, just use those Turkic captives, of course they can't be put back, otherwise, once Jieli's strength is too great, Tuli will be suppressed by him again, then next year, will Datang be able to fight against the Turkic hundreds of thousands of iron horses?
However, now the entire court is asking for punishment of this reckless boy, if he does not conform to everyone's wishes, then the court is afraid that it will be chaotic, and now Li Shimin regrets leaving Sun Xiangfu a little, and if the matter is explained clearly, he should be let go quickly.
Sun Xiangfu was frightened, he didn't expect that his words would cause such a big reaction from the Wenchen team, when he heard these Wenchen call this old man Confucius, Sun Xiangfu almost covered his face, what the hell is the Shandong Confucian family! No wonder these literati want to kill themselves like they have been beaten with chicken blood.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that although Sun Xiamu's words are reckless, what he said is not unreasonable, at least, the Turkic captives cannot be released, otherwise, Jieli's strength will rise sharply, and it will be difficult for Jieli to compete with it, once the Turks are unified by Jieli again, they will definitely go south again in the near future, and they will be ashamed."
At the critical moment, it was still Qin Qiong's strength, because the matter of the Turkic captives had already involved military affairs, so he was not considered to have crossed the line, as soon as he said this, a large number of people from the military general team echoed in an instant.
"Ministers seconded the ······"
"Ministers seconded the ······"
Not only the military generals, but also Wenchen, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and others also spoke out to help each other in a timely manner, and in terms of momentum, they were not weaker than the group of people who supported the severe punishment of Sun Xiangfu, but above the court, there was also a person at the head of the class whose status was not weaker than Kong Yingda, that is, Pei Lian, who had been the prime minister since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
"The old minister thinks that although Sun Xiamu's words are a little inappropriate, but it is a word for the country, his feelings are commendable, his heart is sensitive, and there is no big mistake, His Majesty only needs to let him study behind closed doors, improve his knowledge, and understand the words of the sage."
Pei Lin spoke at this time, which happened to give Li Shimin a step, so he said, "In this way, I will follow Pei Xiang's words, Sun Zhengming will listen to the order, I will order you to go home and study, and understand the words of the sage, and you must not discuss the government and politics if you have nothing to do, and retreat!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't let go of this fang so easily······"
"You don't have any jokes, do you want to resist the decree?"
Everyone in the Wenchen team still wanted to bite it, but Li Shimin's majestic voice sounded, and the hall instantly fell down, Sun Xiangfu only felt that this was a place that could not stay for a long time, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen is grateful." ”
After that, he walked out of the hall quickly, leaving only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji and others to sigh secretly, but it was a pity that he was a talented person who governed the country through the world.
If he offends the Confucian family, it is equivalent to offending the scholars of the world, then, in the court controlled by the literati, he will have no place to stand, and Sun Xiangfu is not a military general, so it is estimated that he can only be a retainer of the emperor for a lifetime.
What Sun Xiangfu didn't know was that in the court without him, more exciting scenes were about to happen, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the trio of Eldest Sun Wuji hadn't made any effort yet! They will not be like Sun Xiangfu, who will fight with all the civil officials in the posture of a fighter, they will use the gains and losses of the court and the law to promote their political goals, and when Sun Xiangfu returned to the Fisheries Department and his subordinates to eat and drink, some things were finally finalized.
The first thing that was established was that the Tang Dynasty had never forbade anyone from buying and selling items that were not prohibited by the imperial court, including the royal family, so the output of the royal farm, like the output of the fiefs of the noble ministers, could be sold to the outside world, otherwise, it would be unreasonable. What the law of the Tang Dynasty prohibits is only the business behavior of officials who buy low and sell high, and the crime is also judged according to the amount of business profits.
Secondly, order the governors of Guanzhong to assassinate the history, the county order, organize manpower, and build reservoirs to prevent drought, then, the Turkic captives cannot be returned to Jieli for the time being, of course, what is said here, it is only not returned for the time being, because Datang needs them to stay and do something, and by the way, help you raise them for a while, you can't help but be happy! As for the Turkic envoys, the diplomats headed by Tang Jian were in charge of the negotiations, and the negotiations only needed to achieve one goal, delay.
It is best to drag these Turkic captives unwilling to return to the Turks, and drag them until all the captured Turkic cattle and sheep are eaten up, so that it is beneficial to all classes in the Tang Dynasty, and no one will object to it!
Finally, since it is known that there will be a drought in Guanzhong next year, then, the early mobilization of grain and rice from southern prefectures and counties into Guanzhong, and the replanting of drought-tolerant crops in Guanzhong are the primary tasks of next year's spring ploughing.
"Order, the next pastor Sun Zhengming will see you in the palace."
It happened that Sun Xiangfu had already eaten and drunk enough at this time, so he straightened his official robe and went to the Lizheng Palace with the eunuch.
On the desk in the main hall, Li Shimin is holding a big bowl, hula hula eating noodles, this ramen is a delicious noodle made by the chef of Wangjiang Tower recently according to Sun Xiangfu's ideas, of course, those Luo family cooks will soon teach it to Luo Tian, so, the ramen drizzled with dogwood sesame oil has become Li Shimin's favorite after being hungry, this product also loves to break raw garlic when eating ramen, and I don't know if the eldest grandson queen can stand the taste in his mouth.
"Weichen greets Your Majesty, Queen Mother."
"Well, excuse me! I'd like to hear some useful advice on building a reservoir. ”
When Li Shimin said this, it meant that he wanted to hear about things that were beneficial to him.
Sun Xiangfu had expected this to happen, so he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen sent Shi Dalang, who takes care of the fishing grounds of Xingfu Village, to explore the terrain around Chang'an, and found that dozens of places of all sizes can build dams and build reservoirs, just a reservoir larger than the fishing ground of Xingfu Village, you can build more than a dozen, in addition, there are several large reservoirs that can build ten times the fishing ground of Xingfu Village, just one fishing ground in Xingfu Village, you can raise 400,000 fish, if these reservoirs are built, then ······"
"Smack."
Li Shimin's chopsticks actually fell, a happy village fishing ground, a year, can produce millions of catties of fish, if there are dozens of such fishing grounds in Guanzhong, or even bigger fishing grounds, wouldn't it be possible to get tens of millions of catties of fish, or even tens of millions of catties?
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to recruit this Shi Dalang into the Fisheries Division, serve as a supervisor, and assist Sun Xiamu in building a reservoir, I don't know if it is possible."
"Niangniang, Shi Dalang is still a child under the age of thirteen."
"Well, thirteen years old, that's fine."
Seeing the appearance of these two people, Sun Xiangfu didn't want to say more, you said you want to use it, just use it! Anyway, there is nothing wrong with being an official, and when the reservoir is repaired and you benefit from the royal family, I can also make some money by the way.
"I am approved, in addition, I feel that this fishery department is going to be expanded, the former supervisor of the fishery department, Guo Feng, will be promoted to deputy supervisor, and two more deputy supervisors will be sent to allow the fishery department to recruit thirty-two officials and three hundred servants, and eighty percent of the production of the fishery department must be handed over to the inner palace."
All right! Li Shimin faked generosity, although the yamen was expanded, but the original seventy percent turned over became eighty percent, and he also sent a few more deputy supervisors to share his own oil and water, which made Sun Xiangfu feel good? However, he was powerless to refute it!
"Weichen will replace Shibao, thank you for your kindness."
"Well, I will send someone from the Ministry of Industry to lead the Turkic captives to help build the reservoir, at that time, your Fisheries Department will send someone to guide, in addition, you mentioned last time that the management of the various departments of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Bureau, I discussed with the secretaries, and thought it is very feasible, I will let you concurrently serve as the deputy supervisor of the Central Animal Husbandry, and let Li Xian ask you for more specific management methods, and you can help him."
Thinking of Li Xian's fat man, Sun Xiangfu suddenly felt in his heart, his mother's legs, this is fake and generous, since it is a part-time job, then his grade as the deputy supervisor of the middle pastor and the lower pastoral supervisor is the same, but there is one more right to meddle in other prisons, and Li Wenxian is a master who does not like to take care of things at all, Li Shimin is going to take the salary of the lower pastoral supervisor and do the work of the middle pastoral supervisor, no, it is to take the salary of the lower pastoral supervisor and do the work of the middle pastoral supervisor, you know, last time the eldest grandson queen promoted him from the lower pastoral supervisor to the lower pastoral supervisor, did not increase the number of posts for him, so he said with some embarrassment, "This, Weichen is still concurrently serving as the food supervisor, and then concurrently serving as the deputy supervisor of the middle pastor, I am afraid that he will lack skills!" ”
"Alright, do you think I don't know what you're doing every day? I'm all idle and singing in my own restaurant, can't I cope with this? The remaining 2,000 acres of land in Xingfu Village will be your job land in the future, and I will have a will tomorrow and send it to your house with Shi Bao's appointment. ”
"Uh, well! If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, then Weichen will retire. ”
"Let's go down!"
Li Shimin waved his hand at Sun Xiangfu, looked at his departing back, and said to the eldest grandson with a smile, "This is a mercenary guy, today I have offended all the ministers, there is no possibility of being a courtier, in the future, I will be a retainer to the Li family until death!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty is wise, and you can make the best use of your talents." ”
"If you are wise, you won't be forced to make a lot of decisions by those minions of the family." Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy when he heard this.
Today, the Wenchen team has formed a trend of forcing the palace against him several times, which makes him very unhappy, and Kong Yingda actually proposed that when there is a natural disaster, he will be guilty of his own edict, which is a matter of great damage to the emperor's reputation, if there is a natural disaster every year, then should he, the emperor, do you want to do it?
What makes Li Shimin happy is that Wei Zheng, who usually loves to fight with himself the most, although he is very unhappy, he is a reasonable person, it seems that he should be operated and Kong Yingda is overpowered.
