Chapter 132 The question of the heir is the big problem

Chen Ying is now serving as the protector of the capital of Anxi, commanding the Anxi army, controlling the towns of Anxi, and his power is so powerful that he can be said to be a real feudal official. If Chen Ying is willing to enter the cabinet at any time to pay respects to the prime minister, a stomp of his feet can make the government and the opposition shake a few times.

Although Chen Ying has become famous and powerful, the only person who can accuse him without caring about Chen Ying's face is Li Xiuning.

Although it was May, it was not a dog day with unbearable heat, but fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Chen Ying's forehead. Thousands of precautions, or home thieves are difficult to prevent.

In the end, Yang Rong's conspiracy of the family thief succeeded. However, Yang Rong is different from the eldest grandson Wuji, no matter what Li Shimin is, the eldest grandson Wujian is his legitimate wife, if there is really any scandal, the face of the Li Tang royal family will be lost.

Li Xiuning became irritable, her eyebrows were raised high, her eyes were cast on the flower stream that illuminated the moonlight, and she said unhappily: "Tell me, what's going on with the eldest grandson?" ”

The key is that Chen Yingzhen has nothing to do with the eldest grandson, and let the eldest grandson Wujian help him manage the accounts of the Chen Mansion, mainly because the eldest grandson Wujian did not rely on it. Except for Chen Ying, she has no one to rely on. There is also a layer of subconscious, Li Jiancheng is a face-saving person, and he will never embarrass his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law's eldest grandson Wujian again.

Chen Ying groaned: "I have been away from Chang'an for four years now, and there is no ...... at all."

Li Xiuning is not an unreasonable person, Yang Rong is the Duchess of Yingguo, no matter what happens, Wu Shitong will definitely not make a noise. On the contrary, it will be better for Yang Rong, there is no way, the current Yang Rong he can't afford to provoke at all, not to mention Yang Rong's cousin Yang Gongren, even if it is his brother Yang Ze, now he has become the Jianghuai Jingluo pacification envoy, commanding the Changhuai army, controlling the towns, and the power is so powerful, it can be said that he is a real feudal official, and it is just around the corner to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

In this case, once Wu Shi Tong and Yang Rong turned their faces, they eventually broke up. Wu Shi Tong has no place in the court, and the officialdom has always been high and low, in order to please Yang Ze and Yang Gongren, it is inevitable to suppress Wu Shi Tong.

It didn't matter whether or not the samurai guessed the truth, he didn't dare to say anything at all. But the eldest grandson is not the same.

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning repeatedly assured that they finally didn't have to be questioned by Li Xiuning.

Chen Ying had the attitude that he couldn't afford to hide, so he simply hid in the barracks to avoid being squeezed by the women.

However, Anzay has already entered the regular stage, and he is also very tired of watching the soldiers train every day. A few days later, Chen Ying took Zhou Qing and Guo Luo to leave the military camp and come to Qiuzi City to hang out.

Seeing that it was noon, Chen Ying was a little hungry. He said to Zhou Qing: "Find a place to fill your stomach!" ”

Guo Luo said with a smile: "Lord, Zhou Qing has a familiar shop, let's go and have a look!" ”

Zhou Qing is mainly responsible for Shule College in Shule City, responsible for the research and development of steam engines, and is regarded as the general manager of Shule Academy, and there are not many opportunities to come to Qiuzi City.

Chen Ying was also a little curious, what familiar shops Zhou Qing could have.

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't believe it, Guo Luo pretended to smile mysteriously: "Lord, you can go and see it!" ”

Zhou Qing had no choice but to take Chen Ying and dozens of people to the Xue's Tea Hotel.

Coming to Xue's tea and wine shop, Chen Ying was very disappointed when he saw the door, three door-facing rooms, a few tables were placed in the hall, and there were two partitions separated by cloth curtains near the kitchen in the northeast corner, and the cloth curtains only covered the upper half of the doorway, which was a private room.

There are not a thousand such tea and wine shops in Qiuzi City, but at least 800.

Under the leadership of Zhou Qing, they found a square table in the corner and sat down.

Zhou Qing was familiar with this place, and stood there to greet the young and beautiful lady of the Xue family and said, "Lady of the Xue family, do you remember the dishes I ate in the store?" Add another piece of beef in cold cut sauce and bring it to us. ”

Chen Ying's face sank: "Beef? ”

Xue Niangzi hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "So that the little officials know that although we sell beef in our shop, this is not our Datang farming cow, but the Tubo yak in Kangxi Prefecture, which kind of cattle are stupid and afraid of heat, they can't plow the land at all, they can only kill and eat meat!" ”

The voice of the lady of the Xue family is very good.

Chen Ying looked at the pretty face of the lady of the Xue family, looked at the diners in the shop, and found that most of them were porters or strong men of merchants, and there were no women or old people at all.

The lady of the Xue family is actually just the role of a shopkeeper, whether it is dishes or cooking, there are other people. When the lady of the Xue family has guests, she comes over to say hello, and when there are no guests or usually, she stands behind the counter and calculates the accounts.

After a while, four plates of cold-cut sauce-flavored beef were served, and Chen Ying picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, but the taste was very ordinary.

However, it was the time of the meal, and the dozen or so tables in the store here were all full, and the business was obviously good.

Just when Chen finished his meal and was about to leave. Eight men carrying a flat shoulder and looking like a porter entered the hall.

Guo Luo pushed Chen Ying and said, "Lord, there is a background!" ”

Under Guo Luo's reminder, Chen Ying was not in a hurry to leave.

He pretended to be intentional or unintentional, and looked towards the next door, Chen Ying suddenly felt different, these eight porters all had a strong murderous aura. Although in this era, there are few people who dare to trade on the Silk Road, but the murderous spirit of these eight porters is too heavy.

In particular, the jet-black flat shoulder and the brand-new short shirt give people a feeling of being out of place.

One of the porters took advantage of the Xue family's lady to come to greet the guests, and touched the Xue family's lady's buttocks.

The lady of the Xue family was more than enough to deal with this kind of scene, her body twisted like a water snake, and the man grabbed the air with one hand, causing the reckless men around her to laugh.

Although he missed, the man didn't care, and his eyes were aimed at the Xue family's lady unscrupulously.

Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing, who was about to make a move, and lowered his voice and said: "Forget it, you can manage it here for a while, and you can't manage it for a lifetime, offending these splashes, in addition to adding trouble to the Xue family's lady!" ”

Zhou Qing sat down indignantly.

Just when the guy was serving, the man suddenly stretched out his foot, the guy was unprepared, he was mixed to the ground, the tray in his hand, thrown forward, coincidentally smashed into the body of a rich man next to Chen Ying who knew at a glance.

The distinguished guest in the brocade robe looked at the oil stains on his body, pointed at the guy and shouted: "Bi Qi Niang, this is a new Xu Du Cao Ji's long shirt bought by a certain family, you pay ...... You pay! ”

Several porters coaxed on the sidelines.

The hall was in chaos.

The smile on Chen Ying's face deepened and deepened, and he finally understood what was going on.

……

Fusang Datang and Datang adopt the same system, with 16 Wei generals, leading all the provinces of the world. The naval division is directly subordinate to the emperor Li Shimin, and now the naval division is basically the old foundation of Zhang Zhongjian's period, with a total of more than 1,000 large and small warships, of which the main warships are 44 ocean-going warships converted from transoceanic boats.

The strength of the army is about 40,000 horses, although the strength is slightly weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty. However, it may not be impossible to rely on these 40,000 sailors to tear apart the Datang maritime defense line. However, relying only on the strength of the Fusang Datang Water Division, the follow-up is weak.

Fusang Datang is too far away from Datang, Li Shimin's ability to project troops at sea is limited, and after tearing the lock coastal defense line, he can send up to 80,000 government soldiers, which is already the limit of Li Shimin's ability. As one of the troika at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is naturally also a soldier, and he knows it very well. The combat effectiveness of the Fusang Tang Army is far from being comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and in the same way, most of the soldiers with strong combat effectiveness come from the bitter cold area. However, Fusang Datang is a gentle township that is more prosperous than the south of the Yangtze River.

The climate of Fusang Datang is warm, the rain is abundant, the most important thing is that the products are abundant, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yield crops, the most important thing is that in the south of Fusang Datang, Li Shimin's people also accidentally found a kind of tree, this kind of tree belongs to the shrub, a plant can be up to two or three zhang, the key is that the trunk will flow out similar to the kind of sticky paste mixed into multigrain noodles, although the taste is not good, the key is that it can resist hunger, and the yield is extremely high, one plant can make two or three buckets of batter.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't know that what he encountered was actually the original starch tree with a yield of up to five tons per mu in later generations. It is precisely for this reason that the natives of Fusang Datang do not need to farm at all, and they can get enough food to satisfy their stomachs by drilling into the woods casually. All kinds of fruits are available.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, although the indigenous people of Fusang have obtained a heaven-sent anointed land and do not worry about food sources, so they are very comfortable and have no enterprising spirit at all. The greatest pleasure of every day is to lie in the sun and play with dicks after eating and drinking. Li Shimin didn't know, if he knew, he would find that the Fusang Continent at this time was the same as the black people in later generations.

People are not good, they are lazy and have no organization and discipline, and they do not communicate with each other. This is Li Shimin's most urgent problem, and Li Shimin also thought about learning from Zhang Zhongjian and coming from Datang.

However, there are many such problems. The performance indicators of the Tang Dynasty court's assessment officials were four: population, taxation, education, and acres. It's okay if the number is less, as long as the number is too much, it will definitely alarm the Tang Dynasty in advance. In terms of war mobilization and war potential, Datang is more than ten times that of Fusang Datang, except for food, Li Shimin does not have any advantage over Li Jiancheng. Once Datang is allowed to complete the war mobilization, Li Shimin has no chance of winning.

When Li Shimin was not prepared, he didn't want to pay attention to Li Jiancheng too early.

But there is one problem that Li Shimin has to solve, and that is the problem of heirs.

Li Shimin did not have no sons in Fusang Datang, he gave birth to eleven sons and seven daughters in Fusang Datang, the key is that these are all concubines, and the bloodlines are mixed.

Li Shimin was absolutely unwilling to pass on the throne to these semi-indigenous sons, and he risked being discovered by Li Jiancheng and snatched Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others by force.
