Wen Yanbo's ability to be the head of the ten ministries is related to his political advocacy and Li Shimin's agreement, and his strategy may not be as good as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, but his political vision is still above them.

Historically, because he had been captured by the Turks, he stayed in the Turks for a long time, and he knew the Turkic situation very well, and later gave Li Shimin the suggestion of moving the Turks to Guanzhong, Hetao and other areas, and promoting the integration of the Turkic people and the Han people by means of cultural education, teaching and farming, which won the attention of Taizong.

This is also the reason why since Zhenguan four years ago, after Li Shimin destroyed the Turks, Wen Yanbo was able to stay in the phase until his death, and he was never demoted.

You must know that even people like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Jing have several ups and downs in phase, Xiao Yu, not to mention.

In a sense, Sun Xiangfu robbed Wen Yanbo of his political merits in advance, he accelerated the speed of Li Tang's extermination of the Turks, and led Li Shimin to the track of national integration in advance, resulting in Wen Yanbo, who should have been promoted to the stage, can now only be a second-level hall chief.

However, if a person is talented, he can't hide it, and seeing things clearly is one of his advantages, and he almost said what Li Shimin wanted to say most at the moment.

"Wen Qing is reasonable, what do you think Aiqing?"

The emperor and the prime minister have said that it is good, plus a heavenly official of the ministry, who else in the court dares to say that it is not good?

At this time, the benefits of Li Shimin's reform of the bureaucratic system were manifested, and the heads of various departments in the court, those who did not speak on behalf of the sons of the family, those middle and low-level officials jumped out, and several bigwigs made a move together, and they were soon beaten to death and died down, which will make the efficiency of various political discussions and stereotypes much faster.

"Ministers seconded the ······"

Regarding the performance of the ministers, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and was about to announce the proposed purpose, Wen Yanbo played again, "Your Majesty, the nationwide land liquidation, job land recycling, officials, miscellaneous servants, etcIn this way, not only the official reform system, but also the citizen system can be implemented in one step and spread to the whole country, and moreover, it can prevent those local officials from deceiving their superiors and subordinates to the greatest extent possible, and using all kinds of unseemly means to disobey the imperial court. ”

"Wen Shangshu is a great good policy, and the minister seconded it."

Sun Xiangfu rarely jumps out to praise other ministers, but Wen Yanbo's suggestion does have bright spots, that is, it can solve the dilemma of insufficient manpower in the imperial court, and it can also make the reform projects of the imperial court be implemented in a down-to-earth manner, which is the best way under the current conditions.

"Ministers seconded the ······"

Li Shimin immediately issued an order and appointed more than a dozen officials as the leader of the restructuring inspection team, and after the imperial examination is over, he will lead a cadre of adjutants, as well as some new imperial examinations, to advance from the periphery of Chang'an to the whole country, each group will take up to a few days to take back the official fields of a county, and give the farmers who originally planted these officials' fields to the permanent fields, as for the officials, officials, miscellaneous servants, etc., or labor contracts, As an example, it is almost only necessary to read out and sign the ceremony, and the new household registration of the local people will be slowly counted, replaced, and reported by the local magistrate.

In this way, one inspection group will be able to promote the reform of several counties in a month, and more than a dozen inspection teams will be able to complete the reform of all prefectures and counties in the country by the end of next year at the most.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Sun Xiangfu was left by Li Shimin again, along with Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Jing.

It can be seen from the people who stayed behind that Li Shimin is going to discuss military affairs.

"Yuangai Suwen's military talent is really good, the Gao army has been defeated and retreated under his attack, and there are only more than ten cities left, at most more than a month, it will not be able to resist, and when the time comes, the internal Yuangai Suwen will definitely lead the army to attack Kaiyuan, the four coalition forces, and the 20,000 light cavalry sent by Shanyang to support in the past, are not good at defending the city, but I am afraid that the losses on Su Dingfang's side will be great."

Li Shimin showed everyone the latest news from Goguryeo before he said.

In terms of military things, Sun Xiangfu actually can't say anything, however, after all, he is the governor of Anbei and the actual manager of the north, if Li Shimin wants to make any military arrangements for the north, he will have to transfer it through him.

"Your Majesty, although the left guard army under the command of the minister is good at defending, it needs to stay in place to defend, the stability of Shanyang is the top priority for the north, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, once it is lost, there may be a big power in the north, and it is really impossible to risk transferring the defenders!" Sun Xiangfu roughly heard what Li Shimin meant, and spoke.

How could Li Shimin not know what he said! This is where he is entangled, fighting Goguryeo and winning a small move is not of much use, because their population base is large and they recover quickly, and they cannot launch too large-scale wars like the previous dynasty, and it may be easy to recruit a million troops, but it is enough to drag a country down.

"Your Majesty, can you transfer the naval army to transport the soldiers of Laizhou, take the sea route to land in the rear of Goguryeo, and fight guerrilla warfare, so that Yuangai Suwen is tired of coping with it, and flawlessly turns to attack Kaiyuan?"

With Sun Xiangfu's brain, he can only think of this, if the Tang Dynasty's naval army does not attack Beisha City, which has been built into a military fortress by Goguryeo, but takes the West Korean Gulf to attack Pyongyang, or directly bypasses the Korean Peninsula, lands from the East Korean Bay on the back, and attacks Wonsan and other places, it will definitely be able to hit Goguryeo by surprise, because the main defense line and army of Goguryeo are all in the area of Liaodong and Xincheng, and there is a distance of thousands of miles from the eastern coastline, they would never have imagined that the army of the Tang Dynasty would spare such a long sea route. to attack their backs, and the purpose of the attack is not to occupy the territory of Goguryeo, but to rob money, food, and people.

"Zhengming this policy is great, Goguryeo is more facing the country of the sea, now, my Tang Dynasty naval army can run rampant on the sea, it is completely possible to land and harass them in a place they did not expect, do not seek much results, break through their cities at a time, plunder his tens of millions of people, but it is not difficult, in this way, Yuangai Suwen will definitely be surrounded by troops, tired of coping, scattering the main army around the coastal cities, can not form an overwhelming advantage over our army stationed in Kaiyuan, at least, before our army goes out, Maintain the current stalemate. ”

Fang Xuanling praised it, and Li Jing said again, "The sea is like a flat river to me, and the sea route should indeed be used well, and there is also a chess piece, we should also use it, that is Gaode."

This person is in Laizhou, however, the army loyal to his Gao clan, currently fighting against Yuangai Suwen for this invisible monarch of him, his will must not be strong, plus the generals who can fight through the battle, most of them are thrown to Yuangai Suwen, and the Gao army's offensive and defensive are lawless, so there will be successive defeats and retreats.

The minister suggested that a good general be sent to send Gaode back to Goguryeo's Gao army, and help Gao Dek command Gao's army to deal with Yuangai Suwen's attack, even if he is defeated, he must consume part of Yuangai Suwen's army and drag the time to the next quarter of next year. ”

"The pharmacist's strategy is feasible, so who can do it?"

"The minister recommends Zhang Gongjin, the general of Zuo Xiaowei." Li Jing thought for a moment in his heart and arched his hand.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, "It is true that only Hongshen is the most suitable, so I will order the draft, but the situation in Goguryeo is urgent, and Hongshen set off from Chang'an, but I am afraid that I will go to Goguryeo······"

"Your Majesty, if a small number of people are in a hurry, the minister has a fast boat, which can help Zou Guogong arrive in Laizhou within seven days, and the minister is in the sea off Laizhou, and there is a good combat effectiveness and a man who is accustomed to sailing on the sea, which can be dispatched by Zou Guogong."

Since Sun Xiangfu has already thought of transferring Zhao Long and the others back to Chang'an for cultivation, then it will be nothing to expose, Zhang Gongjin is both civil and military, and is good at water warfare, give him some help, he will definitely be able to complete Li Jing's strategic goal very well.

Hearing this, Li Shimin showed a smile of relief on his face, and said, "In this way, you will immediately start arranging the ship, and I will summon Hongshen." ”

Sun Xiangfu was about to retire, but he remembered the matter of Weinan again, and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, after the imperial examination is released, you must go to Weinan to have a look, only when the production of Weinan is guaranteed, can we supply our army to go on the expedition." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I know this matter, so let's set the time after the Qionglin banquet!" Let the champions of the current department, Bangyan, Tanhua, and also drive together, and let them see how the place they will manage in the future is built step by step. ”

"No, after the minister goes down, he will notify his subordinates to make arrangements."

Out of the imperial city, Sun Xiangfu directly hit the horse and came to the old shipyard in Lantian County, where there are many concept ships that have not been mass-produced, including those who are good at speed, similar to the three-sail small clipper built by Yang Shunshui.

Nowadays, this kind of ship has been comprehensively upgraded and improved, not only is it faster, but also more suitable for continuous sailing, its hull is not large, the draft is not deep, even in the dry winter period, it can quickly move forward on the Weishui or canal, with the wind and water plus wind propeller propulsion, the speed can reach 30 kilometers per hour.

Now is the season of the northwest wind, this kind of fast boat can arrive from Chang'an to Luoyang within a day, about five or six days, from Luoyang to Laizhou to the sea terminal, there is no problem at all, Sun Xiangfu is precisely because of the need to rush quickly in case of emergency, so that the shipyard designed it in a targeted manner.

"Now there is no idea that the Japanese people always come to the shipyard to fight!" After Sun Xiangfu got on the clipper, he tightened his robe and said to Yang Shunshui, who was about to take charge of the boat for him personally.

Yang Shunshui shook his head and replied, "No, but after the large-scale recruitment of workers in our shipyard, many people with the characteristics of Japanese people came to apply for the recruitment and were driven away by the guards. ”

"They have a Datang household registration?"

"Yes, it was issued by the government, and it seems that this is the case in various other factories."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu said with a depressed face, "The Japanese people will not die if they learn from me!" I'll have to ask Your Majesty to send someone down to investigate. ”
