Chapter 861: Absolute Capital

The Persian Empire was reborn in the hands of Hamid, controlling a vast area in the southwestern part of the Persian Gulf bordered by the Tang Dynasty in the east, the Indian Ocean in the west, and Tianzhu in the south.

After Hamid came to power, he changed the relatively loose rule of the governorate system in the past, and borrowed from the state and county system of the Tang Dynasty to form a centralized feudal rule model.

After a long period of war, Persia began to enter a period of peaceful construction, and Hamid took the opportunity of participating in Li Shimin's Taishan Fengzen Hall to come to the Tang Dynasty to learn the experience of economic and cultural development, and prepared to sign a series of economic and cultural cooperation agreements with the Tang Dynasty.

These days, accompanied by Yu Chi Baoqi and Li Ruoyu, Hamid visited the changes in his heart in the industrial city after leaving Chang'an over the years, and Li You promised to transfer him some industrial production technology and some product materials, and train a group of technical backbones for him.

With the help of Wu Xu, Pei Dilan established his own business organization, headquartered in Chang'an, to accumulate the necessary material wealth for himself.

Accompanied by Murong Ling, Murong Bo constantly asked Li You for technology and things, cultivated Tuyuhun scientific and technological talents, and helped Tuyuhun establish a comprehensive institution of higher learning.

After the Shangyuan Festival, under the auspices of Li You, the Tang Dynasty, Persia, Dashi, and Tuyuhun signed a joint trade agreement, set up a duty-free trade circle, and each country specially set up a Silk Road security force to ensure the safety of the trade route with the Silk Road as the main route.

Although Li You does not go to court, he is still one of the busiest people in Datang.

There is no way, in many ways, Li You is irreplaceable.

However, Li You was tired, originally he had been fighting for the big goal of supporting Li Chengqian to ascend to the throne, but now that the dust has finally settled, the tight string in his heart suddenly relaxed, and he lost his impulse and passion for the time being.

Li You became bored with his work and decided to take a break for a while.

East Palace.

"Brother of the courtier, see brother of the prince." Li You saluted and said.

"Fifth brother don't need to be polite, you came just in time, I was about to look for you, about the land distribution of migrants, the management and ......disposal of livestock after herdsmen are converted into farmers," Li Chengqian said.

He had just taken office, and he was in a state of high excitement, his mind was full of work, and he wanted to be an envoy for two days a day.

"Big brother, my brother won't participate in these things, I have come to ask you for leave." Li You said with a sad face.

Li Chengqian hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? Have you seen a doctor? ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian sincerely cared about himself, Li You was also a little moved in his heart. He said: "Big brother, I don't have any illness, but I have been busy every day for so many years, and I really feel tired and want to rest for a while." ”

Li Chengqian thought of Li You's contributions and energy to the court and himself, and he could indeed be called painstaking. He said with emotion: "Yes, fifth brother, you are so tired. Well, although the eldest brother can't live without you for a day, since you have proposed it, the eldest brother has agreed to let you take a vacation. How long do you plan to take a break? Where to go? ”

Li You shook his head and said: "Big brother, I haven't thought about this matter yet, I plan to wait for Lu Tong and them to return to Chang'an, arrange the matter of the plants they brought back, and leave Chang'an for a while to recuperate for a while." ”

At this time, the ocean-going fleet had already arrived in Guangzhou, and Lu Tong and others were heading to Chang'an by water, and Li You wanted to leave Chang'an again, and he had to eat chili, potatoes and sweet potatoes first.

Li Chengqian said: "Okay, you just look at the arrangement." ”

"Thank you eldest brother for your understanding, my brother has taken his leave." Li You bowed and prepared to leave.

"Fifth brother, please wait a minute, what will happen after the Taishan Zen Ceremony?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li You knew what he meant, and Li Chengqian hoped that Li Shimin would be able to give him the Zen position after the Taishan Zen Ceremony.

He said: "Big brother, let's talk about this matter then, isn't it good now?" "Li Shimin is different from Li Yuan, and he can't be forced to do so.

To tell the truth, in Li You's mind, Li Shimin is much stronger than Li Chengqian, if it weren't for Li Tai, he wouldn't have come to this point. Li You respects Li Shimin in his heart, and he will not do anything to persecute him.

Li Chengqian felt a little unsteady in his heart, and asked: "This matter has dragged on like this, and my name as a prison is not right!" "He is still in charge of the government in the name of the superintendent.

Li You said: "Father is now dedicated to the Tao, I have arranged for Li Chunfeng to build a Taoist temple for him in the emperor's bedroom, and the construction will start soon, let him practice in purity." ”

Li Chengqian sighed: "Fifth brother, you still have a way." ”

Li You said: "Big brother, you should behave well in this matter, don't be reluctant to spend money on building a Taoist temple, use more gold and jade, and repair him to be splendid." ”

Li Chengqian stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, just do as you say." ”

In Li Chengqian's view, Li You's idea was very clever, and the construction of a Taoist temple for Li Shimin was a high-standard temple, which showed Li Chengqian's filial piety, and second, let the subjects of the world see that Li Shimin's mind was focused on cultivating the Tao and ignoring the government and politics, which would make those who still wanted to take advantage of Li Shimin lose confidence.

In fact, Li You felt a little guilty about Li Shimin in his heart, although Li Shimin didn't really like him, but he sincerely loved Li Shimin, and he hoped that Li Shimin could enjoy his old age in peace.

Li You left the East Palace, walked to the Suzaku Gate, and saw the general of the prison guard, Cheng Suhou, at the door, he saw Li You coming, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen Your Highness." ”

Li You said with a smile: "An Guogong is exempt from courtesy." ”

Chengsu played a key role in this bloodless incident, and he has now been promoted from the founding county marquis to the founding county duke. Moreover, in this military reform, the Qianniuwei was abolished, and the Qianniuwei was reduced to a 2,500-strong Imperial Forest Army, which was placed under the jurisdiction of the prison guards.

Chengsu is now in a high position, which can be described as a spring breeze.

In Chang'an City, Li You firmly controlled the Flying Tiger Army and the prison guards, the Flying Tiger Army was strong, and the prison guards guarded the palace, which was Li You's absolute strength. Li You deeply understands a truth - never pin your fate on others. Although Li Chengqian has absolute trust in Li You, Li You must also have his own awe-inspiring real strength.

In the recent military reform, part of the 16th Guard was transferred, and part of it was downsized and merged, and it has existed in name only. However, the Flying Tiger Army has expanded to 12 armies, with a total strength of 30,000 troops, which can be said to be the strongest army in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Guigui is now the general of the town army, and his title is already the protector of the country. The founding public of the Tang Dynasty was divided into three classes, the national prince, and the food and euphemism were 3,000 households, from one product; The founding county of the country, 2,000 households of food, is the second grade; The founding county is a county, with 1,500 households in the food district, from the second grade. His father Zhang Liang, the secretary of the military department, is only the founding county prince, and he is not as good as his son.

In addition, Li You also has the descendants of the Northwest Province, Gao Yong's 30,000 Luoyang elite soldiers, in-laws such as Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, and Kyushu, as well as friends like Hamid and Pei Dilan, with such strength, even if he is far away from Chang'an, he doesn't have to worry about someone stabbing him in the back.

Li You wants to go on vacation, wants to travel the world, and does what a foodie can do without worry, and he has such capital.

Li You stretched out his hand and patted Chengsu's arm, and said with a smile: "My friend Hamid came to Chang'an this time and brought me 100 Persian beauties, all of whom can speak Chinese, you can go to my house tomorrow and pick a few." ”

Cheng Su smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the minister is not on duty tomorrow, so I will bother you." ”

Northwest Palace.

Li You is going on vacation, the princesses are very excited, Murong Ling suggested going to Tuyuhun, Ashina Qing suggested going to the grassland, Rena suggested going to Damascus, and they all hoped to follow. Xiao Wanyu and Wu Xu said that no matter where they go, they have to follow.

Kumiko Takahashi didn't speak, her tears rolling in her eyes, and finally fell.
