Chapter 470: One after the other
At this moment, a lot of snow fell from the mountain, and the shouts of the soldiers shook the snow on the top of the mountain.
Gao Xianzhi was taken aback, worried about triggering an avalanche, and hurriedly stopped the soldiers from continuing to shout.
The shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers were enough to cause an avalanche, and a lot of snow fell from the top of the mountain. Fortunately, the avalanche caused by the last earthquake has cleared the snow from the summit, and the amount of snow in the recent period has not been large, causing no casualties.
With such a large amount of supplies, Gao Xianzhi decided not to wait for rescue, and he organized his troops to take turns to dig up the snow in front of him and open the way out of the valley.
The direction Gao Xianzhi chose was not the direction of Anxi Duhufu, but continued to the south to attack Tubo!
Tai Chi Palace, Li Su's study.
As soon as Wei Zheng walked to the door of the study, he heard Li Su singing inside: "I am watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I can hear the chaos outside the city. ”
Li Su's singing voice is familiar to everyone, and they know that this is his performance when he is happy.
"See the emperor." Wei Zheng said.
"Lord Wei, come and sit down." Li Su said.
"What is so happy, Your Majesty?" Wei Zheng said with a smile.
Li Su said: "Gao Xianzhi and they have already got out of trouble, and it won't be long before they can cut off the connection between Tubo and the Ring Sun Kingdom, and give Tubo a hard blow from behind." ”
"Great, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng said. He had some doubts in his heart, Chang'an was so far away from northwest Tibet, how did the emperor know the news?
However, the emperor has his own news channels, which is not what he Wei Zheng should ask.
Wei Zheng said: "Statistics from the Ministry of Land show that more than two-fifths of the country's land is in the hands of 10 percent of the total population.
So far, Datang has a total population of 36.94 million, and there are 2.16 million new adult males this year.
The existing land will not be able to implement the equalization system. ”
Li Su said: "My opinion is that from this year onwards, the land allocation for each new male will be reduced from 80 acres to 60 acres.
Now you are stepping up your preparations until the war in Tibet is over, and then you will carry out land reform throughout the country. ”
Wei Zheng said: "It seems that this is the only way, but even so, after 20 years, the Juntian system will still not be implemented." ”
Li Su said: "In this way, from this year, new men will be added, and the land allocated to each person will be reduced to 50 mu, and the process of equalizing the land system will be extended as much as possible."
Vigorously developing industry and commerce and gradually reducing the agricultural population is the fundamental way to ease the land shortage. ”
Wei Zheng said: "The minister will do it according to the emperor's instructions." ”
After Wei Zheng left, Wu Cong asked to see him outside.
Seeing that there was only one person inside, Wu Cong said, "Big brother." ”
Li Su smiled and said, "Baby, come, come here." ”
Wu Cong walked over and sat on his lap.
Li Su kissed her snow-white neck, the short stubble, itching her to giggle.
Li Su said: "If you have something, you can say it." ”
Wu Cong said: "Let the concubine come down and report to you." ”
Li Su said: "Just pick up the important ones and talk about them." "Anyway, the groping pig hand is not honest.
Wu Congjiao gasped and said, "It's better to let the concubine come down, the matter is really important." ”
Li Su let her down, Wu Cong sat down, tidied up her scattered hair, took out a notebook, flipped to the position she was looking for, and said:
"Your Majesty, there are indeed a lot of Japanese slaves in Qingyunlou, who were brought back from Luoyang by Sun Shunde, the head of the Xiang Gong of Pi State.
The person in charge of running Qingyun Lou is from the Zheng family in Luoyang, and the actual investor of this restaurant is the Zheng family.
When the concubine cooperated with the Land Department to survey the land this time, she found that the Zheng family had hidden behavior, which was also related to Sun Shunde, the head of Pi Guoxiang. ”
Li Su opened the drawer, took out a book of musicals, handed it to Wu Cong, and said:
"This is a piece written by Chu Suiliang, and it is related to the act of hiding the land, and it also mentions the eldest grandson Shunde, this matter is not simple, there may be a big conspiracy hidden in it, and you are responsible for investigating this matter."
Wu Cong likes to take on challenges, and this is the first major case she has encountered since she became the head of the Royal Home Office.
She said with some excitement: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubines will definitely find out." ”
Li Su said: "Okay, you can do it." ”
Wu Cong stood up and said, "Big brother, then I'll go first." ”
Shortly after Wu left, the director of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau, asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, your courtiers have received a report that the Arab war against the Byzantines is going well, and that they have occupied Africa (the area around present-day Tunisia) and Greater Armenia, and have reached near Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium.
The Arabs, on the other hand, swept through western Asia Minor, forcing 11 Byzantine vassals into the Arab Empire.
There was also a situation in which the Arabs instigated the independence of two provinces in the southwest of the Persian Empire while the main force of the Tang Army was transferred.
The Persian king Isiai III sent troops to suppress it, but the Arabs intervened, and the two provinces were incorporated into the Arab Empire.
The territory and population currently controlled by the Arab Empire have surpassed that of the Tang Empire.
In addition, the activities of the Arabs in India are also very frequent.
Also, the Tibetans once again sent a mission to the Kingdom of the Ring of the Sun.
When Li Su heard this, his head was a little big.
At present, the war in Tibet is not very smooth, although the strength of the Tang army is strong, but the Tubo people occupy a favorable position, and the two sides have been deadlocked.
If, at this time, the Arabs suddenly sent troops to attack Persia, the Tang Dynasty was probably powerless to intervene.
At this moment, Wei Chigong asked to see him.
In the past two days, Wei Chigong has been a mourning star, and he will not be good when he comes.
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Chigong entered the door, he said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Qin Huaidao is missing!" ”
Li Su was very shocked - you must know that Qin Huaidao holds all the secrets of the Tang Army's artillery!
Li Su frowned and said, "Misty, you put down all the things now, go all out to investigate this matter, and be sure to find Qin Huaidao's whereabouts!"
Wei Chigong, you have to cooperate with the investigation. ”
"The ministers obey." Po Tie and Yu Chi Gong left together.
I just solved Gao Xianzhi's trouble today, and I was excited for a while, and then there was so much trouble, which made Li Su feel depressed.
He said, "Open the door with sesame seeds." ”
The system said, "Are you troubled again?" ”
Li Su said: "Since becoming the emperor, it has been full of troubles all day long. When I used to be the king of Liang, my days were so relaxed!
I really miss that time. ”
The system said: "Actually, I think you humans, the reason why you are troubled is that you think too much.
We have all kinds of problems in our system, but we never think about the consequences of this trouble.
No matter what happens, we just want to find out how to solve it, what the consequences will be if we can solve it, or if we can't solve it temporarily, that's later. Not what we're facing right now.
People can only live in the present, not the past and the future, fully grasp everything in front of you, do not regret the past, do not worry about the future, you will not have any troubles. ”
Li Su nodded and said, "Thank you, you are right, old friend, every time I chat with you, my mood will be much better." ”
After Wei Chigong and Xiao Tie went out, he introduced the situation of Qin Huaidao's disappearance to Xiao Tie.
