Since the implementation of the "Wolf King Plan", the pattern on the grassland has undergone a lot of changes, from the original Xue Yantuo tribe Khan Yinan family dominance, the formation of Xue Yantuo tribe, Tuli tribe, Tiele tribe of the three-legged trend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This situation is very favorable to Datang. The three major forces of the grassland contain each other, and there will be no strength to confront Datang, and Datang is expected to be stable for a long time.

However, the mutation of the Tiele Department shows that the Khan of the Xue Yantuo Department and the new Khan of the Tiele Department have colluded, if the two of them unite, the Tuli Department may also be coerced by them, so as to obey them, a new powerful force will be formed on the grassland, and the Tang Dynasty will face the threat of war.

Coincidentally, Datang has had a good season this year, with a bumper harvest of summer grain, and the new varieties of grain planted by Li Su are expected to yield a bumper harvest in autumn.

On the contrary, the drought experienced by the Tang Dynasty last year wreaked havoc on the grasslands, and the nomads suffered heavy losses, which objectively gave them the motivation to go south to rob.

Li Shimin immediately sent Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Fang Xuanling, the left servant, who knew the "Wolf King Plan" (not long ago, Fang Xuanling was promoted from the right servant to the left servant, and the general Li Jing served as the right servant, and the ancients respected the left. ), the right servant shot the general Li Jing and the Zhongshu servant Lang Cen text, and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Li Shimin and others discussed for a long time and decided to wait and see what happened, and at the same time make preparations for war.

The decision of the high-level leaders of the Tang Dynasty was to send the general Li Jing to secretly rush to the front line in the clouds to establish a war headquarters. Li Ji, the British Zhenwu Gong, Chai Shao, the Xianggong of the Qianguo, and Chi Gong, the Zhongwu Gonggong of the Hubei State, respectively served as the marching chiefs of Longyou Road, Guannei Road, and Hedong Road. As the head of logistics, the crown prince Li Chengqian immediately began to secretly transport grain and grass to the front.

The crown prince Li Chengqian was very happy to receive the job of a grain transport officer, and it was because of his father's trust in him.

The current crown prince Taifu (prince's teacher) Zhang Xuansu used to be the teacher of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng (the elder brother who was killed by Li Shimin), Li Shimin is a generation of heroes, and he thinks about problems with ingenuity. He believes that since Zhang Xuansu was able to abolish Prince Yin, he knew what things could not be taught to the current prince, so it was conducive to promoting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses and correctly guiding Li Chengqian. Therefore, against public opinion, Zhang Xuansu served as the crown prince.

Zhang Xuansu was an old fox, and when he saw the prince's happy appearance, he poured cold water on him. He said, "Your Highness, do you think it's a good thing? You have the power to transport grain and grass, and of course you can use this to make good friends with the generals in the army, but unlike transporting grain after the autumn harvest, it is the rainy season, and the roads are difficult to travel and transportation.

To transport grain, it is necessary to requisition a large number of people, and it is also easy to arouse public resentment.

Also, even if you transport the grain to the border smoothly, the air is humid and the grain is stored, it is easy to mildew. It's never a good errand. ”

Li Chengqian was worried, and he asked, "Master, what do you say I should do?" ”

"Push off this errand." Zhang Xuansu said.

"How can this be done, this is my father's will?" Li Chengqian said.

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, what you lack now is not merit, recently, your limelight is too strong, and you have made too many merits." It's time to back down, you might as well recommend His Royal Highness the King of Shu and give him this errand. ”

Li Chengqian's head was full of mud, and he didn't understand why Zhang Xuansu did this.

Seeing Li Chengqian's innocent big eyes, Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, if you recommend the King of Shu, what will the King of Wei think?" He will suspect that there is some secret agreement between you and the King of Shu, which will increase his suspicion of the King of Shu.

The emperor will think that you take the initiative to befriend the King of Shu, which is not lost to your mind as the crown prince. In addition, your current power is already very large, and if you continue to expand your influence in the army, it is easy to be suspicious. ”

Li Chengqian understood, and he said, "How can I push off this errand?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "The king of Shu once went to Hedong to collect grain, and was praised by the emperor, so you used this reason to say that your experience is not as good as that of the king of Shu, and you are worried that you will not be able to do it at this time, so you recommend the king of Shu." If you do this, you will let everyone see your broad mind and win everyone's favor. ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Soon after, the Empress of the Eldest Sun was established in the palace.

When the crown prince Li Chengqian received a summons from the eldest grandson, he hurried there and saw that his uncle the eldest grandson Wuji was also there.

It turned out that Zhang Xuansu considered the problem, and the eldest grandson Wuji also took it into account, and it was inconvenient for him to meet Li Chengqian directly, so he called Li Chengqian through his sister Empress Changsun.

Li Chengqian told Zhang Xuansu's opinion to his mother and uncle. Empress Changsun said: "Qian'er, Master Zhang's opinion is reasonable, but it is best not to disobey your father's will, and it is better not to find a way to do things well." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Highness, your mother's opinion is right, and Zhang Xuansu's opinion is also right in normal times. However, this grain transportation is a secret mission, and it is inconvenient for others to fake it. ”

Li Chengqian said worriedly: "Since it is a secret mission, how can it be kept secret if this grain transportation has to be requisitioned and requisitioned?" Also, how to solve the problem of road traffic and warehousing? ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Qian'er, the queen mother can't solve these problems, but you can ask your sixth brother." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up.

In the evening of the same day, Li Su received an invitation from the crown prince Li Chengqian and came to a remote tavern. This time, the crown prince Li Chengqian accepted Li Su's suggestion and changed into civilian clothes. However, the style is still not small, inside and out, there are more than 20 fierce guards.

Du He, as the head of the prince's guard, also served as a guard.

As soon as the crown prince Li Chengqian said what he meant, Li Cheng felt a headache, and as soon as he made up his mind not to participate in the military affairs of the imperial court, Li Chengqian came to ask for advice.

Helping the crown prince Li Chengqian is Li Su's established goal, what he didn't say, stick a knife in both ribs, and others can think whatever they want. Li Su thought about it for a while, and felt that it was just a good opportunity, so he said something to the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was surprised and delighted, and felt that this idea was incredible. He looked Li Su up and down, and felt that this guy's head was different from others, and such a complex problem could be solved so simply.

The two deliberated for a while and went their separate ways.

Li Chengqian went to Li Shimin to report, and Li Su came to the mansion of Huo Yi, the largest grain merchant in Chang'an City.

What Huo Yi's family wants to see most now is King Liang. Since they met Li Su, the king of Liang, their lives have changed dramatically. In the past, they were rich landlords, with only money and no status, and they were often exploited by officials. Since Li Su was covered, no one dared to come to the door to find trouble.

Now, Liang Wang Li Su and Huo Yi are business partners, and they secretly organized a commercial company, and Li Su took a stake in the roasted tea technology, accounting for 20% of the shares of the commercial company.

The products of the commercial city are also distributed by the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce headed by Huo Yi, and their profits have increased by more than 10 times compared with the traditional business before, which can be described as a rolling source of money.

That's not all, Huo Yi's two grandsons were enrolled in an industrial school and went to school with the prince and princess, and no one dared to underestimate them at this point.

Li Su is a prince, but people have never taken advantage of businessmen in vain, and every time something happens, it will bring them huge benefits. In the minds of all the merchants of Chang'an City, Li Su, the king of Liang, was their protector and god of wealth.

Seeing Li Su, Huo Yi and his son knew that good things had come to the door again.
