Chapter 452: Seeking Advice
"If there's a way, there's actually one!"
Sitting in the carriage, Xue Lang hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart: "It's just that in terms of this method, I don't have a lot of confidence in my heart." Bayi Chinese ā āā„.ā 8=1ā¤Zā„ā„.=Cā¤Oā„M"
Princess Pingyang glanced at him encouragingly, and said with a smile: "Let's listen to it, and I will consult with you for your wife." ā
Xue Lang nodded.
The impact of the weather on warfare seems to be unresolved in modern times. Although I have heard of the so-called meteorological weapons on the Internet, because I am not a person in it, I have no way of knowing the truth or falsehood, so I naturally do not know what means are used in modern times.
However, now in the Tang Dynasty, with the existing technical conditions and Xue Lang's knowledge reserves, it is obvious that he can't make cement, asphalt, and even organize people to build a gravel road.
In this era when all engineering depends on manpower, productivity is low, there is no machinery to help labor, and there is no surplus population. The working population has not even been able to provide food and clothing, and if roads are to be built, they will inevitably have to be transferred, and the consequence will be the loss of productivity.
Far away, Qin Shi Huang requisitioned and dispatched people to build the Great Wall, and near was Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty who recruited people to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The newly established Tang Dynasty obviously did not have the ability and confidence to do such a big project.
Therefore, Xue Lang's method can only start from the simplest. Xue Lang said: "The best way is obviously to build the road, but the cost of building the road is quite large, and the man-hours consumed is also a big problem, so my method is to recruit people, raise money to pile some sand and gravel mounds on both sides of the road, pile more, cover it with thatch or dry leaves and other things, and when it rains, when you encounter a bad road, you will pave the way now." In this way, although the time spent on the road will be slower than usual, at least the road can be passed, right? Moreover, this thing is also very simple to do, just use local materials, just prepare in advance, which is a stupid way. ā
Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up, as if after this reminder, she also opened her mind, and said: "Youyang's method is better than preparing in advance, if you follow this, weapons, grain and grass can be prepared in advance." If the imperial court chooses a commander in advance, stationed in advance, and hoards grain, grass, and weapons before the rainy season comes, when the war starts, it will not be weak and morale will be low. ā
Xue Lang nodded with a smile and said, "That's what it means." So, it's a stupid idea. ā
The two of them discussed it again, added some details, and then wrote it as a sparse song to present to the saint when they got home. As for Xue Lang's concern about the loss of productivity caused by the transfer of people's husbands, Princess Pingyang said: "The border pass has long suffered from the constant invasion of the Turks, and the method of young yang, using local materials, is nothing compared to life and death. ā
Xue Lang nodded, feeling that this was the difference between the two people's vision, Princess Pingyang had a more overall view, and he was still habitually focused on the details, and the pattern was not enough. This is the difference in the position in which you are standing. Princess Pingyang has an excellent background and a lot of practical experience, so she naturally sees more widely and deeply. Even if Xue Lang has the advantage of being well-informed in later generations and having extensive knowledge reserves, there is still a gap in his vision.
Xue Lang can use this method for the grain road, but in terms of rust prevention of weapons, Xue Lang does not have any good methods. In terms of the process of later generations, the means of iron rust prevention are generally used to coat and oil or paint, etc., in the Tang Dynasty, it was almost impossible, and there were technical problems. In the end, the only way to rebuild the carriage was to add a cover with a sloping roof, or to tie it with grass or felt, so that the rain would slide down the sloping roof so that it would not wet the ordnance.
Coupled with Princess Pingyang's proposal to let the commander be stationed in advance, she returned to the princess's mansion and was written by Princess Pingyang, and the two of them jointly submitted the method to the sage, and handed it over to the ministers of the political hall to discuss and decide.
Because the matter was urgent, the sage urgently summoned the ministers of the political hall to the palace to discuss the affairs of the government, and after repeated discussions and improvements, on the basis of Xue Lang's proposal, the final plan was formed.
The commander of the Turkic expedition, the ministers belonged to the king of Qin, but the crown prince Li Jiancheng recommended the princess of Pingyang of Anguo. The prince said: "If you talk about the garrison of the army, there are deeds of Weize Pass, even the King of Qin, in front of Pingyang, he does not dare to say that he will win." The King of Qin has sent troops to recruit Yang Wengan, and only Pingyang is at home, so I recommend Princess Pingyang of Anguo as the head of the march and the commander of the rear to deal with the Turkic invasion. ā
Xue Lang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he only had one sentence to ask the prince-
Are you still human?
This is not a human being at all! His Royal Highness the princess has just been married and pregnant, and others are at the age of the two of them, if the first child stands, they are already at the age of marriage. And he and the princess were still empty, and at such a critical moment, he actually recommended the princess to go on the expedition...... If there was a case, wouldn't it cost him and the princess their lives?
Xue Lang looked at the prince with a pale face, and he couldn't bear this breath no matter what!
The sage glanced at the prince and said categorically: "Pingyang is not a suitable candidate, and it is recommended by others." ā
The prince was a little unwilling, but he still responded: "Oh." ā
The prince was unwilling, and in the end, for the safety of Chang'an City, all the ministers and saints were willing to be the king of Qin as the head of the march, and only when Yang Wengan's rebellion was quelled, the king of Qin changed his route and garrisoned the state in advance.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, before the army led by King Qin arrived in Ningzhou, it was already reported that Yang Wengan had been killed by the deployment, and even his head was cut off and sent to Chang'an, the capital division. Yang Wengan's rebellion, quelled! The king of Qin was appointed as the head of the march, and he took his men and horses directly to the annexation of the state, and began to prepare in advance to deal with the invasion of the Turks.
Jingshi Chang'an, the sage looked at the sparse music on the desk and frowned and had a headache-
I regretted that I shouldn't have been disappointed by the prince's mistake that day, and on impulse, I promised the position of Prince Erlang. When he returns from the expedition, I really don't know what to do? The so-called Chrysostom Yuyan, as an emperor, if he does not count the words he says, his reputation and future generations will definitely be damaged.
The saint has a headache!
This matter, the main fault is him, Yuan Ji obviously supports the prince, Pingyang...... If you consult with her, I am afraid that you will have to give advice. After thinking about it, the sage said to the palace man: "Go to Xuanju Ma Xue Lang to enter the palace, and say that I have something to discuss with him." ā
This kid is clumsy in treating women, but he is both flexible and principled, and he is really a rare talent. A few days ago, I came up with an idea to solve a big problem, I don't know if there will be pertinent suggestions or solutions in this matter! What's more, when he blurted out that day, Xue Lang was also present, so it was better to discuss with him.
The saint touched his beard, made up his mind, and waited for Xue Lang to come.
