Chapter 49: The Forty-Seventh Recital to the Hall of Manna

When everyone walked to the gate of the palace, Li Shimin sent a decree to invite Feng Ang to a banquet, and asked Feng Daiwen to accompany him.

Feng Ang and Feng Daiwen followed a little eunuch to the Ganlu Palace, it turned out that this was a royal family banquet, Li Yuan, Li Shimin were there, and Li Yuan's Wan Guifei, the current queen's eldest grandson Wuji, first Li Yuan affirmed the Feng family's contribution in Lingnan on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, affirmed the Feng family's merits to the Tang Dynasty, and then rewarded Feng Ang with some gold, silver, jewelry, white jade, silk and other royal items and said that he was tired, and he took Wan Guifei away for a separate banquet another day,

After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin affirmed Feng An's support, and explained the details of Lingnan, and expressed his support for Feng An's vigorous development of Lingnan.

"Wu Guogong, there is something here in this palace, I really don't know how to speak," after talking for a long time, Sun Cai pretended to be embarrassed and said;

"It's okay for the mother to say that she has something to do, and the minister is worried about the mother," Feng Anren was old and basically understood the meaning of the eldest grandson, and smiled with a smile;

"That's good, this palace will say it directly, Princess Guang'an has 5 out of 10, and her appearance is dignified, this palace wants to be a son and daughter with Wu Guogong, I don't know how Wu Guogong wills" The eldest grandson said with a smile:

"Everything is up to the mother, I don't know which son the princess is going to marry to the minister" Feng Ang was not surprised at all:

"It's Wu Guogong's second son, Feng Daiwen," the eldest grandson to:

"Poof,,," Feng Daiwen has been eating with his head bored, after all, it is none of his business that they have been chatting, and suddenly he heard that it was really unexpected to marry Guang'an, and he was drinking a sip of wine in his mouth.

"Stinky boy, the daughter of this palace is not worthy of you,,, "The eldest grandson is majestic:

"No, no, Weichen just felt surprised, it was Weichen who was not worthy of the princess" Feng Daiwen quickly explained, after all, he and Guang'an got along for a while, and the two got along well, and Guang'an didn't have those rude problems.

"Then it's decided, I will make a decree to marry tomorrow, and I will get married when Guang'an turns 16 next year" Li Shimin said with a smile:

"Thank you sage" Feng An, Feng Daiwen hurriedly thanked him,

"Haha, in the future, it will be my own family, Wu Guogong doesn't have to be polite" Li Shimin said with a smile:

"Thank you for the kindness of the saint, Weichen will discuss the three rites and six appointments with the Zongren Mansion" Feng Ang was still very happy:

"Wei Guo, you have been in Shuofang for a while, do you have any suggestions for the grassland," Li Shimin asked;

"Weichen thinks that the steppe Turks are all wolves, and the best way to deal with wolves is to turn wolves into dogs, and dogs will be beaten to death with a stick if they are disobedient" Feng Daiwen said:

"How?" Li Shimin to:

"We can take several steps, the first step is to corrupt, open a mutual market, open a mutual market in Shuofang, Youzhou and other places, we can sell a large number of porcelain, silk to the Turks, these things can't be eaten, can't be made into weapons, silk is not so good to keep out the cold, the Turks are useless to take it, and these are luxury goods are used by the nobles, the Turkic nobles can only take the herdsmen's cattle and sheep in exchange if they want to, salt, grain can be selected*** If you are close to our Tang Dynasty, you can sell more salt and grain, and if you have a bad relationship, you can sell less, for a long time, If you can get it at your doorstep, why bother with your life to grab it?"

"Yes, yes, but there is not much salt and grain," Li Shimin asked approvingly:

"Sage, we have food, but the family is not short of ah, salt is better, Lingnan has technology, only need to unite the family in Jiangnan to produce in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, let Shuzhong organize silk, select one or two among the five surnames to sell grain, the sage only needs to strictly control the checkpoints to crack down on smuggling, can only trade in the mutual market, and increase taxes," Feng Daiwen said:

"Wonderful. Wonderful,,, this can also divide the five surnames and seven hopes, and it is a good strategy to defend the country, since there is a first, there must be a second defense of the country soon" Li Shimin said excitedly, obviously Li Shimin thought more,

"Second, differentiation. Everything on the grassland is what we need in the Tang Dynasty, and there are not only Turkic people on the grassland, we can sell some obsolete weapons to other races, and a lot of grain and salt, as long as they need it, we will sell it, but we only need war horses, cattle, sheep, not gold and silver, so that they can only exchange cattle and sheep, no war horses, no war horses, no robbers, and we also tell them that those who have a good relationship with us, so that they can only rob our enemies" Feng Daiwen laughed:

"Okay, it's really good, well, so let's do it, you are now the deputy governor of Shuofang Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, this matter will be handed over to you, you can let go of your hands in Shuofang, I only look at the results, if the effect is good, then implement it in Youzhou and other places" Li Shimin actually took a test;

"Weichen obeys the order, and will live up to the grace of the saint" Feng Daiwen received the order;

'Fei Lin said that giving birth to a son should be like Feng Daiwen, this is true, Wu Guogong is indeed a blessing' Li Shimin sighed to Feng An;

Feng Ang couldn't close his mouth happily when he heard Li Shimin praise his son like this, and kept talking there; "The saint has won the prize, the saint has won the prize"

The eldest grandson saw that Feng Daiwen and Li Shimin's performance was also a mother-in-law, and the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.

"Recently, the court has been arguing about the arrangements for Turkic captives. There is also how to arrange the stubbornness of thinking, some say that they will arrange to repair the plank road in Shuzhong, some say that they will be placed in the state of detainment, and some say that they will take cattle and horses in exchange, and there has been no good suggestion, I don't know what you think.

"Such a simple matter hasn't been discussed for so long?" Feng Daiwen raised his eyebrows:

"Simple, you talk about it," Li Shimin said:

"Select a part and hand it over to the management of the Zhizhi Sili, train a group of Turkic soldiers to fight for my Tang Dynasty, you must be required to learn Chinese, this part can be better for it, and all the rest will be reduced to slaves to build roads and canals, so many ministers under the Tuntian sage will be rewarded and sold to landlords, merchants, they have money, there must be a shortage of people to farm, but the details still need to be agreed," Feng Daiwen said fiercely;

Li Shimin didn't expect Feng Daiwen to have such a heart: "Very good, you write an excerpt for Weiguo, let's discuss it in the court."

"There is another thing that makes me embarrassed, Wei Guo will think of what way to do it for me" Li Shimin saw that Feng Daiwen was flexible and had a lot of ideas, and immediately came up with another question:

"Yes, please also ask the sage to say clearly, if the minister is wrong, please don't blame the sage" Feng Daiwen didn't expect Li Shimin to ask himself so many questions, and his father couldn't help but be stunned:

"It's okay, today is a family banquet, we are just chatting, now the court officials Shen Ke, but there are many old ministers of the emperor, I am not easy to move, it really affects government affairs, such as Liang Guogong, Lai Guogong,,,," Li Shimin waved his hand generously and said:

"This matter seems to be very simple," Feng Daiwen said:

"Simple? I've been embarrassed for a long time, so I don't want to say it quickly," Li Shimin said angrily:

"You only need to divide these people into them, and the nerds will sort out the books, from Qin Shi Huang to the Confucianism, to now we have lost a lot of cultural knowledge inheritance, such as the Zhuge crossbow restored by Weichen, the legend can be a crossbow 10 arrows, until now Weichen's subordinates have designed 1 crossbow and 5 arrows, it is better to let this part of the people sort out the ancient books, the sage only needs to set aside a place, let them divide the door into separate places, the subset of history, industry, agriculture, etc., all separately sorted," Feng Daiwen to:

"Yes, the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the current royal books are very chaotic, not to mention others, this is a good thing, and it is also a big thing, it should really be done, write an excerpt and discuss it together, and what?" Li Shimin happily agreed:

"As for the others, Datang is currently short of manpower everywhere, just arrange to do things, and if they don't do well, they will be punished for going to the county to teach, teaching children to read and write, and teaching Turkic people to learn Chinese and Chinese characters, and the two princes will be better arranged, and it is completely possible to add a few more ministers, there were only two before, and now there are four? I think it's okay to add two, preferably to 10, so that you can be much more relaxed about the saints, and you can discuss those trivial things without bothering the saints" Feng Daiwen said flatteringly:

"Trivial, hum, how long has the Tang Dynasty been founded, the court is in chaos, and I don't look at it much, it's already a mess" Li Shimin snorted and said:

"Okay, that's all for today's discussion, you go down and write a good excerpt, the way to write it clearly, and then discuss it in the court" Li Shimin to:

"Obey the order, the ministers will retire" Feng An, Feng Daiwen saw that Li Shimin was almost done, and retired.
