Just when Changsun Tang was wrapped in a rice dumpling and lying on the bed, His Majesty Li Er had already received a report about Changsun Tang's injury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What do you say, the eldest grandson is a stand-in?" His Majesty Li Er couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that the stand-in for this eldest grandson Marquis was recently provided by King Yue, so we are a little hesitant to get the news."

"I don't need a reason, you guys are a little sluggish this time, and you Chen Yu have been a little lax over the years." His Majesty Li Er still seemed to have no joy or sorrow.

"I'll retire from my humble position." Chen Yu's face was full of bitterness.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "You stand down, Loulan in the Western Regions needs manpower." ”

Chen Yu, who was full of bitterness, turned around from the ghost gate, his voice was mixed with surprise, and after trying to suppress it, he replied in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty Xie!" "Backwards this out of the Temple of Manna.

After Chen Yu went out, His Majesty Li Er said to himself: "Eldest grandson, eldest grandson, is it your luck, or is there a ......destiny in the dark?"

On the second day, Changsun Tang received a holy decree, without mentioning Changsun Tang's recent exploits, just a few simple words, but the meaning was obvious: Changsun Tang was grounded again.

Why "again"!

Emperor Taishang's condition has been alleviated a lot, and he can already be supported by someone to move on the ground.

This is one of the few good news that His Majesty Li Er has heard recently, and the backlog of official business for many days has been handled with unprecedented efficiency, but the matter about the salt lake has been delayed again and again.

"Your Majesty, the matter of this salt lake cannot be delayed any longer." Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the past few years, we have used troops year after year, especially last year, when we used troops against Saikaido and Fangren at the same time, and the treasury cannot make ends meet." Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, continued.

The salt lake of Saikaido is a matter of great importance, and the matter has been discussed many times, but the conclusion is still not conclusive.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the ministers arguing below, and felt irritated for no reason: Eldest grandson, you caused the matter down, patted your ass and ran away, but let me clean up this mess for you.

His Majesty Li Er said loudly: "Can you be an official camp?" He really didn't want to just destroy a Wang family and have another eldest grandson's family.

"Never." This time, it was Wei Zheng who spoke up, and he paused and continued: "Your Majesty, this Xikaidao Salt Lake is too far away from the Central Plains, and if it is an official camp, it will outweigh the losses. ”

Wei Zheng's words were too lethal, and the hall, which was originally a little noisy, was immediately silent.

Fang Xuanling said loudly: "Your Majesty, the interests involved in this salt lake are too great, and it involves the great merits of expanding the land for thousands of miles, which is bound to garrison troops there for a long time, according to the suggestion of Marquis Xinfeng." ”

"You mean that the merchant is responsible for transporting the grain to the salt lake according to the ration, and at the same time sending the money directly to the household?" Li Er was very familiar with this.

"Yes, it's just that this can be appropriately worked."

"But how can it be flexible?"

"The reason why this can't be decided is because of the profits, if the interests are not so great, will this still attract so many businessmen?" In the past few days, the door of Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian's family was almost knocked down by those big families.

"You might as well go on." His Majesty Li Er said.

"We might as well set up a special agency responsible for the operation of the salt lake, which will be responsible for determining the share of these salt merchants every year......" Fang Xuanling did not continue.

In this way, the matter of this salt lake is the final word of the imperial court at any time.

"About the garrison?" Tang Jian asked.

Li Jing said: "Regarding the matter of the Xikaidao garrison, we cannot adopt the system of government soldiers like the mainland. "Li Jing has already resigned from his official position as the secretary of the military department, but the new secretary of the military department has not yet taken office, so he specially recruited Li Jing today.

"So what should it be?" Tang Jian asked.

Li Jing thought for a while and said: "You can use the method of army rotation, and I also know a little bit about the situation on this plateau, you can establish multiple bases, and select them layer by layer to ensure that the selected soldiers can adapt well." ”

As soon as this miasma is explained, there is nothing to fear.

"So how do we solve this transportation problem?" Tang Jian has long had a draft for these thorny issues.

"You can recruit Yan Liben to inquire." Fang Xuanling said.

Eldest Sun Wuji looked at all this and didn't say a word, firstly, the matter here had nothing to do with him, and secondly, Eldest Sun Tang's role in it made him a little embarrassed.

His Majesty Li Er spoke: "There is no need for this, since the army can pass, it means that there is no problem in building a road." It's just that it's not necessary. ”

Li Jing said loudly: "It is certain, for every victory in the grassland in the past, we have nothing but victory."

His Majesty Li Er said loudly: "What does Li Qing mean by this? ”

Li Jing continued: "Since the Han Dynasty, all the offensives against the grasslands have been victorious many times, but what happened after the victory? Nomads are still nomads, and when the army comes, they flee farther away, waiting for the army to go and everything will return to its original state. Take Shuofang as an example, Jiuyuan County of the Han Dynasty that can be examined in history is now not even left with ruins. ”

The hall was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of breathing.

Li Jing ignored it and continued: "Wei Qing and Huo Quai's army traveled thousands of miles, but in two hundred years, even Cai Wenji, the daughter of Cai Yong, a generation of great Confucianism, was taken captive to the grassland. Li Jing did not mention the matter of Wuhu Chaohua, His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, had Hu blood.

"If we want to solve the grassland problem once and for all, what we need is profit." Fang Xuanling also said loudly, as a famous minister who came over in troubled times, the importance of these things is still clear.

"Yes, Your Majesty. If the salt lake there is used as a huge interest support point, an elite army is deployed on the plateau, and then the various tribes on the grassland are divided and co-opted, there will be no more disasters like Tuyuhun. "Even if Li Jing no longer serves as the secretary of the Ministry of War, it is still indispensable to fight for the benefits of the army.

"It's just that we haven't seen the benefits yet, and we have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources first, so will it be a bit risky?" Imperial Doctor Wei Tingting said.

His Majesty Li Er said: "This reluctant child can't trap the wolf, not to mention that this is not just a matter of a salt lake. His Majesty Li Er's words did not have the slightest sense of humor.

Looking at the somewhat embarrassing scene, Wei Zheng said: "It is inevitable that the Ministry of Industry will be responsible for opening the road, but it is necessary to use a new thing to make the road easier and stronger." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to understand a little, and said, "But cement? (To be continued.) )
