"The two families of Buddhism and Taoism have been investigated, which really surprised me, I didn't expect that there were so many locusts crawling on the Tang Dynasty to suck blood, this time the whole country found a total of bad monks, female crowns, more than 1.4 million hidden tenants, seized more than 10 million pieces of property, and tens of millions of acres of fertile land. Aiqing, what do you think? Li Shimin said with a hard slap.

"Monks, Tao, can not be completely destroyed, the people have no spiritual sustenance is not a good thing, but it must be controlled, but also according to the person tax, but since our Tang Dynasty has cleaned them up, we also have to give some sweetness, the minister heard that the foreign races in Fanbang worship Buddhism more, it is better to send them into a large number of foreign countries, in foreign countries they can do whatever they want, and preach at will." Feng Daiwen thought for a moment and gave a suggestion.

Li Shimin originally thought that Feng Daiwen would favor the Taoists, after all, the Taoists have always been good friends with them. I was very satisfied with Feng Daiwen's answer, and this incident also understood the consumption of national strength by Buddhism, and said in agreement: "Yes, let Buddhism go to a foreign country to preach, not only can you find out the intelligence of other countries, but also consume national strength, and you can exchange a large number of commodities for food and materials, and win without a fight." ”

Feng Daiwen has to admire Li Shimin, who has been able to see the benefits of commercial warfare and has used it in practice. Next, Feng Daiwen introduced to Li Shimin some of the situations in Funan, Zhenla, Brunei and other small countries, as well as his own handling in Zhenla and Funan this time.

Hearing that, Li Shimin nodded frequently, and interrogated from time to time, "Aiqing's intention is to plunder other countries to make up for himself." ”

"Shengshang is wise, using the manpower of other countries to mine deposits, produce raw materials, and then transport them back to Datang, make finished products and sell them back, and you can earn a lot of wealth as soon as you enter and exit." Feng Daiwen explained.

Li Shimin figured out the key to it, and said with a smile: "Since I have Aiqing, many things have become much easier. I have understood what you have just said, and I will reappoint officials after deliberation. ”

"The saint has won awards, and many things are done by other people." Feng Daiwen said modestly.

"No, this is not only what I think, but also many ministers, although things can be done, but not as good as your method, it is faster and more effective, with less effort, and can avoid many detours. Although many things are done by other people, they are all done according to your ideas, and you don't take credit for defending the country, but I will not forget it. Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Weichen is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is only a trivial matter, how can he worry about the saint." Feng Daiwen clenched his fists and bowed his head.

"Since I took the throne, I have worked diligently, for fear of losing the world, Aiqing has found a lot of property and food for me, so that problems can be easily solved, and Aiqing has made great contributions." Li Shimin sat down with Feng Daiwen on his shoulders and sighed.

"The saint deals with government affairs day and night, and I can't sleep all night, you must know that you are in the world, and you still have to take care of the dragon's body." Feng Daiwen saw Li Shimin's tired face and persuaded him.

"Haha, I received news a few days ago that the drought in Shandong has eased, and Aiqing has brought back a lot of food and property, so I am naturally relieved." Li Shimin laughed.

"So very good, Fang, Du Ergong have the talent of the world, Xiao Lao is fair, the eldest grandson is shrewd and changeable, and there are many capable people in the court, why don't the saints let them share one or two things that are not very good." Feng Daiwen said.

"Haha, of course they are very capable, firstly, the affairs themselves are busy, and secondly, I can't rest assured." Li Shimin laughed.

Feng Daiwen also knew that Li Shimin was a person with a strong desire to control, and as long as he dealt with government affairs, he would be more energetic immediately, so he didn't persuade him.

"During this period of time, put things down, take a good rest, prepare for the wedding with peace of mind, and tell me if you need anything." Li Shimin admonished.

"Yes, I understand, thank you for your concern." Feng Daiwen hurriedly agreed.

"Haha, I should be called my father in the future." Li Shimin laughed happily.

"Father!" Feng Daiwen didn't hesitate when he shouted, after all, it had been almost a year, and he had long been used to it.

"Okay, we're done talking about business, and I didn't bring any gifts when I came back." Li Shimin nodded and asked with a smile.

"Absolutely!" Feng Daiwen smiled and took out a box that had been prepared a long time ago, opened it and took out a fist-sized, more than a foot long front and back small round bronze casting items, and handed it to Li Shimin.

"What is this?" Li Shimin looked at it and didn't understand it very well, knowing that there was another mystery in it, and asked.

"This is polished with transparent crystal, the minister called it a telescope, to use it like this......" Feng Daiwen's telescopes are when they found ink crystal, and saw that the transparent crystal was polished into a convex mirror by craftsmen, the front is large and the back is small, and the middle can be telescopic and adjust the multiple, and a monocular is made. Although I don't know the exact multiple, I have done experiments at sea, and the largest one can only see a few dozen miles away, and the worst can zoom in to see the scene a mile away.

Li Shimin learned to put the telescope on his eyes, looked at it and said, "There is nothing!" ”

"Holy Lord, please come here, the distance inside the house is too close, so I can't see clearly." Feng Daiwen asked Li Shimin to come out of the room and look at the election.

Li Shimin leaned into his eyes to take a look, his mouth opened incredibly, he took away the binoculars, rubbed his eyes and looked at them, and then raised the telescope to look around, and kept putting it down, checking, and lifting it, back and forth many times. also kept making a sound at the corner of his mouth, "tsk, tsk".

Feng Daiwen also knew that people who used the telescope for the first time would definitely not put it down for half a day, so he was also very patient and waited with the box.

"Aiqing comes with me!" Li Shimin took Feng Daiwen with great interest and walked towards the nearest palace wall.

On the way, Feng Daiwen also introduced Li Shimin to these telescopes, the farthest distance that can be seen.

"It's like the legendary clairvoyant. With this, it will be much more convenient to march and fight in the future, as long as you find a high mountain, the defense under the mountain can be seen, and there are secrets to speak of. "Li Shimin deserves to be the emperor immediately, and the first thing to consider in everything is military.

"Father is wise, if there is a large enough crystal to make a telescope to see the moon, it can also be said to be a real clairy." Feng Daiwen introduced with a smile.

"Really?" Li Shimin asked excitedly.

"That's true, according to the family teacher, there is nothing on the moon, only a big pit." Feng Daiwen said.

"Has the commander seen it, or has he gone up?" Li Shimin hesitated and asked.

"Of course I saw it, otherwise Erchen wouldn't know how to make a telescope, but the telescope of the family teacher was accidentally broken." Feng Daiwen did not hesitate and said with a cut of iron. If Li Shimin had the idea of seeking immortals and asking questions, it would be a bad thing.

"Alas! I knew that. Li Shimin sighed and muttered to himself............
