Liu Hao looked at Gao Lishi and asked puzzledly, "Why?" Your Majesty disagrees? ”

Gao Lishi shook his head: "It's not that Your Majesty is unwilling, but that the ministers of the court and the central government won't let him agree." Now the courtiers, civil ministers, and military generals are clearly distinguished, those who read poetry and books look down on rude martial artists, and those military generals are also tired of the sourness of scholars. Now if His Majesty becomes the principal, I am afraid that those civil officials will cry and grab the earth. So, it's hard. ”

Liu Hao smiled: "Whether this matter is successful or not does not depend on me, but on Your Majesty." It depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to be a wise monarch through the ages, and whether Your Majesty has the ambition to expand the territory! ”

Li Jie looked at Liu Hao and muttered: "You kid is sincere, when this word reaches His Majesty's ears, I am afraid that no matter how many people oppose His Majesty, they will insist on being this principal." Zhicai, maybe you will become a thorn in the eyes of Wenchen. ”

Gao Lishi waved his hand: "This will be brought over, if anyone obstructs it, he doesn't want His Majesty to become a Ming Jun and not let His Majesty expand his territory." If such a thing is said at the court meeting, who would dare to oppose it? ”

Liu Hao nodded, indeed no one dared to object. Since ancient times, literati have not been afraid of death, but afraid of their reputation being ruined. And the biggest source of bad reputation is disloyalty. The person who is always next to His Majesty is really ruthless, and he pokes the other party's life with a word.

Seeing Liu Hao's relaxed face, Gao Lishi couldn't help but struck: "Zhicai, don't think that this matter is very simple, your idea will at least make Your Majesty uneasy for a few days." There are also those civil servants, who are attacking each other all day long, and your action makes them all focus on you. Don't be caught doing things in the future, otherwise those crowds will definitely attack. ”

Liu Hao shook his head: "In the future, I will be at the construction site of the military academy, and I will not go anywhere." Besides, I'm an honest person, and every time I'm bullied, I fight back a little. Why do you think I'm a troublemaker? ”

Gao Lishi pouted helplessly when he heard this: "Indeed, you are an honest person, Lu Yue is a shy person who is not good at words, and that kid from the Xiao family is a noble person with excellent moral character." ”

Liu Hao smiled: "This is called talking and laughing, and there is no white ding." ”

Li Jie squirted out all the tea he had just drunk in his mouth with a "poof", and coughed a few times before saying, "Zhicai, you guys are too thick-skinned." That Lu Yue is not familiar with this official, but don't you feel blushing when you say this to the Xiao family kid? ”

Liu Hao smiled: "If you get used to it, you won't be popular." By the way, do you want to go to the brick kiln factory to have a look? By the way, I will inspect the construction site of the military school. ”

Li Jie was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Hao said embarrassedly: "Let everyone know that the officials have not forgotten their actions, and the angels personally inspect them, which means that the emperor is here, can they lack motivation?" ”

Colliers rubbed his round belly: "So-and-so still has this effect?" ”

Liu Hao nodded: "Be sympathetic to the people's feelings, maybe you don't think it's anything, but those workers and soldiers don't think so." They will feel valued and feel the importance of their work. ”

Li Jie looked at Liu Hao with ill will: "Why does this official always feel that this matter is too contrived, isn't this pretending?" ”

Liu Hao nodded: "It was originally pretending." Back then, His Majesty called for frugality, isn't it just for show. But the effect is so good that the whole world follows suit. ”

The three of them deliberated for a moment, then mounted their horses with a few retinues and hurried out of the city.

The river Luoshui was very famous in ancient China, for example, Cao Zhi wrote "Luo Shen Fu", but it was to praise his sister-in-law. Now Luoshui is also famous, because there are brick kiln factories on the banks of the Luoshui River, producing sturdy and cheap red bricks.

The concrete road from the official road to the river beach is under construction, and the temporary road next to it is full of horse-drawn carriages. There are those who come to pull bricks, there are those who pull bricks back, and there are those who transport coal. On both sides of the road, there are tea and snack stalls for passers-by to drink water or pad their stomachs.

Gao Lishi pointed to the people who set up the stalls and said with a smile: "It is true that businessmen seek profits. These brick kiln factories have only been open for a few days, and they have actually started to set up stalls to make money, and their vision is quite unique. ”

Liu Hao smiled and said: "This is the good quality of our Han people, who can find business opportunities and make use of them in any environment." You see, what they buy, whether it's tea or flatbread and pasta, is very affordable, and the portions are plentiful, just right for the workers working here. ”

Li Jie nodded: "That's true, the people of Datang are simple and unpretentious, and they are the most hard-working people in the world." The cement road was built so quickly that when it was repaired, they would no longer have to suffer from flying dust. ”

Liu Hao slowed down and pointed to the cement road under construction and said: "In fact, the cement road is not strong and not frost-resistant. However, it is much better to transport it in a short period of time than on official roads, and even if it rains, it will not form a mud swamp and it will be difficult to pass. ”

Li Jie looked at the busy scene of the road builders and asked curiously, "How long can this road last?" ”

Liu Hao thought for a while and said: "It is estimated that it will be fine within twenty years if it is a foot thick like this, but it needs to be maintained." And you can see that the middle is separated by thin wooden boards not far away, which is called shrinkage joints, to prevent the cement from expanding and shrinking the road surface in hot and cold contraction. ”

Li Jie and Gao Lishi glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Gao Lishi asked in disbelief: "Zhicai, you said it can be used for twenty years?" ”

Liu Hao nodded: "Yes, if the drainage measures are appropriate, it may take longer." It's not as good as the official road, and it takes hundreds of years to repair it once. ”

Li Jie looked at Liu Hao with a wry smile and shook his head: "Zhicai, you know it but you don't know why." Soon after the official road is repaired, there will be special people to repair it. Sometimes when it rains heavily, the road that has just been repaired is washed away. It is said that it has been used for hundreds of years, but no new roads have been opened in these hundreds of years, and the old roads have been tinkering. ”

Gao Lishi nodded and said: "Cement is really the important weapon of my Tang Kingdom!" If one or two decades from now, cement roads will be paved throughout the Tang Dynasty, whether it is for commercial transportation or military expeditions, the time will be shortened by three times compared to now. If it's the rainy season, it's hard to estimate the time saved. ”

Liu Hao asked curiously: "Isn't it hundreds of miles a day to march and fight?" Why can't you estimate the time? ”

Gao Lishi shook his head: "The march of an ordinary army is only a few dozen miles a day. For they had to camp before dark, and in the morning, they had to set up camp for dinner. Calculated as a day, the marching time is just over half a day. If the road is muddy again, all the vehicles with armaments and supplies need to be pushed along. Thank God for being able to travel ten miles in a day! ”

Liu Hao opened his mouth in surprise, fighting in ancient times was completely different from what he thought. Walking ten miles a day is too slow, and walking by yourself is more than ten miles a day.

Thinking of this, Liu Hao muttered: "No wonder Li Yi and Old General Li were able to win a surprise victory in Shibao City, the thousand-mile attack is indeed beyond the expectations of ordinary people!" ”

Gao Lishi listened and said proudly: "Zhicai is right, General Li is indeed beyond the expectations of ordinary people. Now that Tubo is suing for peace again, Princess Jincheng has also sent a special letter to His Majesty, looking forward to another war at the border. ”

Liu Hao sneered: "It's not me Datang who started the war, right?" Why didn't you see Princess Jincheng when she attacked, and called on the people on their side not to attack the land of Datang? Princess Wencheng married to Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty accompanied craftsmen, farmers and plant seeds at all levels, so that Tubo rose rapidly in less than a hundred years. Now that it has become a big tail, my Datang is really cocooned and self-bound, and those married girls are all turned out with their elbows turned out. ”

Gao Lishi shook his head: "Zhicai, what you said is too extreme, Princess Jincheng married out of helplessness, and Tubo was already powerful at that time." ”

Liu Hao shouted angrily: "My grandfathers of the Tang Dynasty don't need to use their daughters to pray for temporary stability!" Princess Wencheng had already suffered a loss when she was a child, and she still didn't repent! The faces of the people up and down the Tang Dynasty have been lost by those scum who boast of reading poetry and books! Is it interesting to distort Confucius's words even though they are great and warlike? ”

Gao Lishi and Li Jie smiled bitterly at each other, they didn't expect Liu Hao to be so sensitive to these things. After Liu Hao crossed over, his identity changed, his status changed, and even his appearance was completely different from his previous life, but the only thing that didn't change was his heart, which was ridiculed as an angry youth by many people in later generations!

China's peace does not need to be exchanged for its own daughters and sisters!

Li Jie sighed and said, "What's wrong with Zhicai?" In fact, your understanding is a bit one-sided, Tubo is not easy to fight. They can come down at any time, but once our soldiers arrive on the plateau, most of their combat effectiveness is lost, and they are simply unable to confront the enemy. Heqin is also forced to be helpless, do you think Your Majesty is willing? ”

Gao Lishi nodded: "It's really difficult, this time someone from Tubo came and wanted to ask His Majesty to marry Princess Xingyang to Tubo, and it happened that Ziyang Zhenren was also in the court." In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the Tibetan envoy was beaten half to death, you don't know how happy His Majesty was after retiring from the Dynasty at that time, and it was rare to have a few drinks at noon. Some Wenchen impeached the immortal chief and was severely reprimanded by His Majesty, and the matter is now over. ”

Liu Hao was stunned for a long time: "Why didn't my uncle tell me?" Tubo actually wanted to rob my daughter-in-law, it really ate leopard gall! ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "He has already solved it, what else to say?" Truth be told, Your Majesty would love to see you make a difference, especially on the military side. His Majesty has been thinking about attacking Tibet all day long and dominating the grasslands. These are all places where my Datang has suffered a lot of losses. Now the Khitan in the north is about to move, and the war is about to break out, so Your Majesty attaches more importance to your military academy, in order to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Liu Hao nodded: "Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, then I will never let him down!" ”
