Chapter 423: Not Afraid of Jin Wu Getting Drunk (1)

Li Wei still had scruples, fearing that the minister would be impeached on this matter.

But he definitely didn't expect that Yan Qinling would solve this problem for him and make another move.

Walking on the ridges of the fields covered with grass, surrounded by endless wheat, spitting out green ears of wheat, not yet yellow, when the wind blows, countless ears of wheat turn and fall, the scenery is very spectacular.

This is one of the pieces in Tuntian. Tun a lot of fields, nearly 10,000 hectares, of course, converted into square kilometers, only 600 square kilometers, in the vast Qinghai, the current Qinghai not only includes the whole province of Qinghai in later generations, but also the end of the world, Taozhou and other land in Gansu, the area is very large, these tuntian is only a drop in the ocean.

There can only be so many, one is that although the land is vast, not all places are suitable for farming, and can only be cultivated on the water of various rivers. Second, there is not enough manpower. It can be more, but it has to be ploughed, hoeed, sown, irrigated, and harvested. If you don't fight, there are enough manpower, even the current army, there are enough manpower. But they had to fight, they had to train, they had to build castles, they had to manage the crops, and there was too much land, and the soldiers could not bear this burden. For example, harvesting, such a vast tuntian, at least 70,000 or 80,000 laborers are needed to harvest in time.

The party quietly came 12,000 soldiers.

But the soldiers of the party, as well as the soldiers of the Chebi Department, may not be worse than the Central Plains soldiers, and even well-fed, well-trained, and properly commanded, they have good riding skills, and they are more courageous than the Central Plains soldiers in battle. However, the ten party soldiers did farm work, which was less than the three Central Plains soldiers.

That is to say, there will be no war in August, no checkpoints, and nearly 100,000 troops may be busy cutting wheat, threshing wheat, and drying wheat.

But after harvesting, it is still gratifying, and it is still the kind of planting method of extensive planting and thin harvesting, but the land is fertile, and there are many horses, and a large amount of horse manure has been accumulated to fertilize, and the growth is very good. Some experienced veterans estimated that if the harvest was successful, according to the current growth situation, there would be no locust plague, and there would be a harvest of more than 1.5 million stones.

The consumption is also staggering.

In later generations, a person could eat three stones of grain a year, and the amount of food was amazing. Now the soldiers' food is not good, they have a lot of physical work, they can eat, three stones can only be said not to be hungry, four stones can only be said to be food and clothing, five stones are well-off, and six stones can pat their stomachs and eat.

In addition, tens of thousands of people are coming, hundreds of thousands of people open their mouths to eat, and there are seeds, and the horses have to be fed some beans to nourish. At least half of the grain is removed.

The party members were so hungry that their eyes were full of gold stars, and they could not sustain themselves without three or four hundred thousand stone of grain. This is guarded by many castle checkpoints, otherwise if the Tubo people move this batch of grain ideas, I am afraid that before Li Wei speaks, the party members themselves will revolt. Every day, the party members trekked to Kuozhou to see the growth of wheat, and when they looked at it, their bellies rumbled.

Last year, there was a locust plague in the Hexi Corridor, and it has not recovered, and the territory of the imperial court has to support a part, plus the loss of transportation, and 200,000 stone of grain has to be removed. After the partition, there may be some left, and the Nuo Hao bowl will reach out again. It won't be given in vain, I don't know how many people came, but it happened that a few checkpoints were closed in August, and these Tuyuhun were temporarily intercepted and wanted to be harvested for the imperial court.

In short, he will not ask the court for food, and he can even solve part of the burden for the court. Otherwise, when the real promise bowl reaches out, the court will not give it? When the hand comes, it will give some. Especially those Confucian students who are broad and poor and have not obtained the true taste of Confucianism, they really think that benevolence is the true essence of Confucianism. It's really the kind of benevolence that can't fight back, scolding and not returning the mouth, why do you still list the royal and shooting as one of the six rites?

After walking for a while, Li Wei looked at Di Hui Di Hao and said, "A few years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

The two girls just smiled, their faces full of happiness.

"Di Hui, the first time I saw you, I had a very good impression of Lone."

"The concubine thinks, I'm afraid it will be the happiest time for the concubine."

"Aren't you happy now?"

"I'm very happy now, I couldn't have dreamed of it a few years ago, but that time was the beginning of whether the concubine was extremely Tailai."

"Life is wonderful."

"Yes, these days the concubine body is like a dream."

"Why these days?"

"Because, because ......"

"I've done everything, I'm a real husband and wife, why are you shy?" Li Wei made a joke, but Di Hui pointed into the East Palace, and he walked in a hurry, and he didn't have a round room with her, so he inevitably lost in his heart.

"Your Highness," Di Hui glanced at her with a crimson face.

"Lone also has flesh and blood, crying and laughing, a mortal. Seeing Lone's true face today, is it a bit of a feeling of shattering the idols worshiped that day? ”

"No, I just feel happier."

"Happiness is good, let happiness slowly accompany us to grow old."

"Your Highness," Di Hui and Di Hao's eyes were wet.

"Lone called you over, there are still some things to say."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Staying alone in Qinghai won't be too long, it's just to scare Qinling. It may be more than a year, it may be more than two years, but it will not be more than three years. Although in Qinghai, standing by and watching can win a lot of fame for Lonely. ”

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is still ......"

"Lone knows, but my father's illness is getting worse and worse. In fact, the father is in love with power, if he is lonely and sick to the point of his father in the future, one of the sons will take the initiative to give up power. "This is not a lie, whether it is Zhao Gou or Qianlong, when he was the emperor, he was also very happy. On the contrary, Li Longji was greedy for power, misleading the country and himself.

"Lone is actually not in a hurry, but is afraid of the queen mother. Without the mother's hard work, there would be no lonely today. But the wisdom of the queen mother is difficult for anyone in the world to match, even if you add Lone, the father and the emperor plus the second brother, and the three together, it is not as good as the queen mother. Lone often inspects the common people, and some families are shabby, and they can only get by, but their husbands sing and their wives are with them, and they are harmonious and beautiful. However, in some big families, children fight, wives and concubines compete for favor, and chickens and dogs are restless. It's been a long time......" said this, and there was silence.

Di Hui Di Hao is one of his wives, so he doesn't have to hide it too much.

But what came through can't be said, it's weird! So he recklessly gave his mother such a promise, not only sincerely hoping that his mother could help him and create a strong Tang Dynasty, but also An's mother's heart. What else should I do? If you don't dare to kill, you don't dare to be claustrophobic. Later, the third child seemed to have done it, but it seemed that it was after his mother killed the minister, tyrannized the clan, and after the second Zhang was rampant, he dared to do that after disappointing all the upright people. Now that my mother's many actions and means have not been demonstrated, even if I have the ability, can I do it?

"Lone is worried, and the queen mother can also see it. The political situation will become more and more volatile in the next two years. But Donggong Gu has always been uneasy, a few days ago, Pei Yuhe called Ye Ci Mingyue together, it was kind and generous. But Gu was a little disappointed. Magnanimity doesn't necessarily have to do this, there is no way to be lonely, and you can report it first. This reminded Gu of Lee Sang-gong. Although he was bewitched, he thought that Lone was biased towards the Hu people. It's actually wrong, Lone is still biased towards the Han people. However, it cannot be said that this kind of bias can be brought to the handling of military affairs and the country, and only the amount of people can be applied is the real standard for employing people. But in fact, he also wanted to be good for Lonely, and wanted to defeat Tubo in Hexi in one fell swoop. The consequences are not the same, the situation is very similar. Therefore, Lone has always been worried about the East Palace. ”

The two women bowed their heads together.

"Among the ladies of the harem, Lone will not favor anyone, and even in the future, he will not accept too many concubines. Meeting you is a matter of chance, and the wild words and bright moon are forced by the war situation, but there are so many palace maids in the East Palace, and there are also beautiful ones, but they don't touch them, and it is precisely because of this reason. Among you, in terms of scheming, when you grow up Wei Yue, none of you are as good as you. In terms of talent, you are not as good as Wan'er. But now, among all the women, both of you are extremely intelligent, the oldest, and the most experienced, and your mind is the most mature. Therefore, stand up boldly and be more patient. ”

Thinking of this, I have a slight headache.

I really want to create a harmonious harem.,It seems,There's a little tendency.。 But after getting along these days, I found that it was not.

Di Hui Di is from a humble background, so she is closest to Bi'er. Bi'er is also close to them, but she has been with Wei Yuewan'er for a long time, and they have a good relationship with each other. has no ill feelings towards Yang Min and Xu Li, and can still get along. found that Pei Yuhe was not as bad as he imagined, and gradually he was able to say a few words. However, the other women did not dare to despise it, and they were also supporting themselves.

Yang Min and Xu Li seem to be all the way again.

Wei Yue and Wan'er went all the way again, but although Wei Yue was young, she gradually grew up, and her heart was quite high, and she found an excuse last time to sleep with Wan'er and Wei Yue in her arms, and specially trained her for nearly an hour, just to prevent her from developing this bad habit.

Pei Yuhe is the most famous, but he has a bit of a lonely taste.

"But......," Di Hao wanted to stop.

"Lone knows what you're talking about. Loneliness is not mediocre, and only the word fairness is used. In the East Palace, the name is the name, but no matter what the name, you have to be satisfied with Lone. ”

At this point, there is no need to be straightforward.

"Yes." The second daughter replied softly.

"And Lone doesn't want to fight with those close to him. Because of the fight, the queen mother made Lone the prince. But Lone hopes that the scene in the palace will never happen in the East Palace for more than 20 years. Whoever does that, Lone can only be very sad. For the sake of peace, whoever they are, they will only become losers. This sentence, when I go back later, I will also say it to them. In short, for the sake of the overall situation, Lone will like it, you are like sisters, Lone likes it more. ”

"Yes."

"You're going back tomorrow, and Lone has one more thing to say. What I said to you today is because you are mentally mature, so I said it, so don't mention it to Yuhe. Queen Mother, you still have to be respected in the East Palace. ”

"Yes."

"Let's go back."

The three of them stepped on the grass again and headed back to the car.

……

While listening to his wife reading the letter, he was eating Hu Biscuit in a daze.

The emperor's staple food is also Hu Cake, but it tastes much better than the Hu Cake eaten by the people, which Li Wei has repeatedly compared.

Xue Rengui could still blame this monster that time, but this time he finally realized the strength of Tubo and the terrible Qinling. Historically, Li Zhi directly gave up the idea of retaking Qinghai after Li Jingxuan's defeat, although Qinghai is good, with Qinghai, not only the Southern Silk Road, but also the Hexi Corridor is no longer thin. But defeat after defeat was unbearable, and even Li Jingxuan and others forgot to hold them accountable.

Now I know, Tubo has to take his time, this egg is not a dinosaur egg, it is also an ostrich egg, and it will never be swallowed in one bite.

Therefore, my son's long letter has written a lot of things, and I also think it is more reasonable.

But after most of the day, Li Zhi suddenly asked: "Queen, how much money did this battle cost?" ”

Historians are ashamed to talk about profits, and rarely write history in this area, at most they use one sentence: the army is dethroned, and the people are not happy. But in reality, it's very important. It is better to win the battle, there is a spoils to divide up, and the Tang Dynasty army is not really stupid, although it is not like the nomads, who will still do it. If the battle is won, there will be fewer dead soldiers, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have no merit will go home and continue farming. Originally, military service was the obligation of the government soldiers.

But if you lose a battle or win a crushing victory, the pressure is great. Not only rewarded, but also compensated, my son died for the country, this is a living human life, the court always has to meaning. Coupled with the layers of exploitation by officials, a soldier's pension costs dozens of dollars.

For example, this time, more than 80,000 soldiers died, although more than 10,000 were Hu or Party members, and nearly 70,000 Tang soldiers died. is the Hu people and the party members, and the court also has to mean it, otherwise which Hu people are willing to go out for the Tang Dynasty in the future?

"Excluding the future pension, the approximate cost is five million before and after."

"Five million," Li Zhi had a headache. After thinking about it, he asked, "In addition to normal taxes, how much other income is there?" ”

"The sea market will increase this year, after Di Shilang arrived in the Eastern Capital, the concubine deliberately talked to him, and he estimated that it is possible that the sea market tax can reach 2.5 million yuan this year. It will increase in the future, but it will be slower and slower, and it may reach a temporary peak when it reaches about three million. ”

Wu Zetian thought about it for a long time, but decided to transfer Di Renjie back. Compared with Wei Yuanzhong, Di Renjie is more round, the political situation has been unstable in recent years, and what is needed is a person like Di Renjie, not a square gentleman like Wei Yuanzhong.

This time, he took a rocket and climbed to the position of the squire of the criminal department at once.

After arriving in Luoyang, he held talks in person. Wu Zetian admired this person very much, and wanted to pry his son's corner and pry this person over for his own use. So he was pushed to the top all of a sudden, and then he was promoted to the six Shangshu or the prime minister. With Di Renjie's qualifications, it is obviously not enough.

But that's not the point, Li Zhi is asking about the country's revenue, to see how much money can be allocated to fight this protracted war.

Normal taxes cannot be calculated, and the state still needs to spend. So I can only ask about the extra income in the past few years.

Di Renjie's estimate is very standard. Although the Southern Song Dynasty is located in a corner, the population is about the same as that of the current Tang Dynasty, and it may be a little more. However, the economic foundation is several times better, and the business is more mature, so the tariffs in the sea market can reach more than 10 million yuan a year. But at the moment of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than three million yuan, and it had indeed reached its peak. If you want to be high, the country needs to be stable, and after a few years or more than ten years of development, it will end here.

Wu Zetian continued: "However, Hong'er also mentioned in the letter that the last phase of the Sanmen project cannot be delayed. Danshui canal repaired to Shangzhou, the second half of the start is to divert water, this is not in a hurry, even if it is completed within a year, whether the water is enough or not, it may not be known, it can be turned into two years of construction. There is still some balance in the East Palace, and there are still some to pay off the arrears in Jiangnan. If the market is good, there may be an extra million dollars. ”

The further back the Danshui Canal is, the more expensive it is to construct in the mountains, but it is not urgent. Li Zhi let out an "um" and asked, "What else?" ”

"Hedong, Hebei and other places have come to the fore, and the drought has begun to ease. The taxes in other places are good, and the imperial court can squeeze out about one million yuan if they squeeze it out. Either the income of the Salt and Iron Division, which is in good condition this year, sugar, paper, silk, porcelain, tea, because of the prosperity of the sea market, the tax is increasing, and it is possible to reach 1.5 million yuan. That's about that. ”

It's not bad, in the past, this kind of income was enough to make Li Zhile happy, but now he continues to frown and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

"Fortunately, Hehuang Tuntian will have a bumper harvest, which will reduce a burden for the imperial court. However, it seems that the cost is insufficient. The sacrifice of soldiers and pensions cannot be delayed for a long time. ”

When the couple was sad, the eunuch sent a note, which was written by Di Renjie. There is nothing else, specifically to impeach Wei Hongji.

Wei Hongji built Shangyang Palace for Li Zhi, because he had a flattering heart, but he also had no second heart for Li Wei. With this character, it will never be possible for him to be as upright as Wei Yuanzhong. And it is very capable, built beautifully, does not hurt the people or money, and on the balance, the Luoshui Bridge will be moved from Lide Fang to Changxiamen Street, one is on the east side of the East City, the west side of Chengfu Fang, and the other is on the east side of Chengfu Fang.

But many people are not used to it, including Liu Renliang, the life and death of the prince on the front line are unknown, you are here to overhaul the emperor's civil engineering, you have done something ashamed, I dare not say it. Hearing that Di Renjie arrived in Luoyang, he wrote a letter and said to Di Renjie: "Since ancient times, the emperor has lived in the deep palace and has not been in contact with the people, for fear of causing the people to complain about luxury. Today, the emperor's dormitory is built outside the city, which is not a practice of respecting the emperor. ”

Di Renjie was dealing with official business all day long, thinking about the prince's situation, and didn't pay attention. Liu Renliang woke up a little, and when he thought about it, he was also very dissatisfied. So the Shang Shu dismissed the impeachment and said that the soldiers in front were born and died in Qinghai, but Wei Hongji deliberately guided the emperor to be extravagant. asked Li Zhi to punish Wei Hongji.

There was no beating around the bush, and Li Zhi sneered lightly.

Li Zhi's condition has not been cleared, and most of the time because of complications, his head feels very painful, so he deals with government affairs more than Wu Zetian. It's not useless, and there are some intuition. But when I think about it deeply, my head hurts even more. This is a small matter, I didn't think about it, and asked in surprise: "Aren't this Di Renjie and Wei Hongji both Hong'er's people?" ”

Why did Li Jingxuan fight with Liu Renliang in the nest before, and now Di Renjie is fighting with Wei Hongji in the nest?

But I feel a little weak, this Shangyang Palace is really not the right time to cultivate.

Not yet considered important. Negotiations continued on the cost of the Battle of Qinghai. At this moment, bad news came to Luoyang.

Starting from Songzhou, then to Maozhou, to Yazhou, on Qinling personally led sixty or seventy thousand, seventy or eighty thousand, and the history of the assassins in each state was not clear, and at their level, they did not want to figure it out, and suddenly attacked. In fact, most of the soldiers were soldiers of Dongnuqiang, and the army of the Tubo descendants was only seven or eight thousand people. Aside from these seven or eight thousand people, the combat effectiveness of the other tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers was pitifully weak. But it was this group of weak soldiers that made the Qin Ling use it superbly. Sweeping through the counties of the three states, the number of soldiers and civilians killed before and after reached more than 9,000, and it is difficult to count the people taken captive, but at least more than 20,000, there may be 30,000.

The reason for this situation is that the three prefectures have settled some Qiang people, and set up some small prefectures, and the population cannot be counted. The Qiang people in these prefectures were the most harmed, but the people of the three prefectures of Jiannan were either captured or killed, and the total number reached more than 10,000 people. A large amount of belongings were also looted.

The captive people, young and middle-aged people, and heavy belongings were sent to Tuyuhun to replenish Tuyuhun's labor. In order to win over the party members, some of them were also sent away. This time, the party Xiang people were very hard, fought for the Tang Dynasty, and let Tubo kill Xu Xiangren. Fighting for Tubo, he was false and wronged, and finally killed the red eye, and the Tang Dynasty also killed Xu *** soldiers. Then all the old men were put to death, and the women, children, and valuables were carried back to the city of Logos.

Obviously, this is revenge for Li Wei's naked behavior when he fled.

If you want to fight our people's idea, don't forget, there is a long territory between you and me, and if you defend Qinghai, you can't defend Jiannan, you can't defend Jiannan, you can't defend Suzhou, and I can also fight your Tang people's idea.

Li Zhi was so angry that he rushed to the crown.

This move is not to talk about the right or wrong of Qin Ling's play, but it underestimates Li Zhi's blood. In history, before Li Zhi died, he let Tubo be defeated twice and lost his temper, but he still let Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian go to the Turks twice, killing the Turks.

It was not a mistake that Li Wei was forced, or he was forced by his own national strength in Tibet, so he had to take a clever path, and the chessboard became bigger and bigger, and he couldn't grasp the direction of every step on Qinling. Although wisdom, there is a limit to it.

Seeing the urgent military reports coming, Li Zhi was in Shangyang Palace and roared angrily: "Fight, start a war." ”

Our Tang Dynasty did not lose this time, although it was tragic, to really say it, it was still a tragic victory, you Tubo and Tuyuhun died more soldiers, and the losses were heavier. Who's afraid of whom. After finishing speaking, he said: "Immediately send all the prime ministers to the Eastern Capital to discuss matters." ”
