Li Shimin was quite angry at Tuyuhun's repeated military provocations, and made a decision to destroy Tuyuhun in the court early the next morning; However, Li Shimin's decision was hindered by the Confucian ministers headed by Kong Yingda and Li Gang.

Li Shimin smiled faintly and said: "This is my decision with the Prince of Xiaoyao, it is useless for you to persuade me, if you want to persuade the Lord of Xiaoyao, you must first persuade the Lord of Xiaoyao."

Seeing that a few people suddenly shut up, Li Shimin proudly said to Li Tao and Cheng Yanjin: "Li Tao and Cheng Yanjin, I ordered you two to bring gunpowder and grenades to destroy Tuyuhun in the shortest possible time, and I want to incorporate Tuyuhun into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Yanjin said ecstatically: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, my old Cheng will definitely blow Tuguhun upside down."

At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since you want to include Tuyuhun in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the minister thinks that as long as you destroy Tuyuhun's army, you can do it, and then according to what the prince said, military deterrence, economic control, and cultural sinicization, so that Tuyuhun in the future will really be the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Du Ruhui echoed: "What Master Fang said is right, hey, Datang is also for the sake of Tuyuhun Those people who are still living in barbarism and backwardness, so that they can get rid of backwardness, live a prosperous life like my Datang people, and be more able to accept the education of sages and sages, and understand what morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, courtesy, righteousness and honesty are."

Li Shimin said with deep agreement: "Keming is right, everything is for the people of Tuyuhun."

For the two black-bellied people singing and harmonizing, everyone expressed their helplessness deeply, but the matter has come to this point, and no one says anything more, and what to say anything is to find a draw.

Seeing that something was going on, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the first batch of captives from Tuyuhun will soon arrive in Chang'an, and the minister believes that in order to give these captives a chance to forgive their sins, the emperor will definitely have a way."

Li Shimin agreed: "Yes, but I still want to listen to the listener's thoughts first, auxiliary, since you brought up this matter, then you can say it first."

The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the minister went to the manor of the prince, tsk, the manor is absolutely suitable for the people, especially the smooth cement road, which is hard, smooth, and low cost; I believe that Lord Yan Lide knows better than the minister."

When Yan Lide saw the eldest grandson Wuji mention himself, he stood up and said: "Yes, the prince's manor was planned by the minister according to the ecological method proposed in the agricultural book, and the minister also personally participated in this matter, and the entire ecological cycle is indeed the most suitable for the peasants and the people; As for the cement road, the minister didn't know what the raw materials were, but it was indeed better than the official road, but it required a lot of labor to build the cement road."

The eldest grandson Wuji continued Yan Lide's words and said: "I know some of the raw materials for the cement road, but I can say that the cost is low, and as for labor, I think this is definitely the most suitable method for those captives to atone for their sins."

Fang Xuanling nodded very approvingly, and then said his own suggestion: "Your Majesty, the cement road built of cement, the minister has also seen it, and the minister thinks that the cement can build sand and stone so strongly, can it be used in other aspects, such as building city walls, building rivers, etc."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he set his eyes on Yan Lide; Yan Lide thought for a while and said: "The feasibility is very large, but you can give it a try."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the others and asked, "Do you Aiqing have any other opinions?" ”

All the ministers were silent at the same time, but their minds secretly cursed: These are all things that have been discussed a long time ago, and what do you tell us to say and say!

Li Shimin smiled with great satisfaction: "If there is no other opinion, then this matter is settled, auxiliary machine, Qiao Song, Keming, then this matter will be handed over to you, and I will come up with a charter as soon as possible; Li Tao and Cheng Biting Jin, Tuyuhun will be handed over to you; If you have nothing to do, let it go."

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin looked intently at a world map hanging on the wall, and the greedy gaze in his eyes kept scanning around the territory of the Tang Empire: with cement roads, the transportation would be more convenient, and the Turks, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, etc. would all be included in the territory, becoming an emperor through the ages, and it would be passed down for generations, and soon, he would be able to do it; However, Li Ran still has so many things there, so naturally he has to find a way to get them and use them, which can definitely make Datang more prosperous at that time!

In the ancient and modern courtyard of the Xiaoyao Palace, Lao Dao didn't know where he went, and there were only three people at the scene: Li Ran, Xiao Wanrong, and Li Fu.

Li Ran instructed Li Fu: "Butler, give me the news, just say that in mid-September this year, the master will hold a recruitment meeting for the school-age maids of the palace in front of the palace, and there are only three requirements: no men who are already married and have children, no men who want to marry again after marriage, and the age must be fifteen to twenty years old; The rest, whether they are poor, beautiful or ugly, or talented, can participate."

Li Fu said with some hesitation: "Lord Wang, as soon as your three conditions come out, I'm afraid not many people will come."

"If you don't come, you won't come, it's a big deal that the master suffers a little, and the master will accept it all", Li Ran said domineeringly.

Xiao Wanrong and Li Fu looked at Li Ran with a black line on their faces, it seems that this pro-recruitment conference is just a formality, and in the end, it will have to fall into Li Ran's hands!

After Li Fu retreated, Xiao Wanrong looked at Li Ran with a jealous expression, but didn't say anything.

Looking at Xiao Wanrong's appearance, Li Ran smiled and said, "Wanrong, I'm jealous, isn't it enough to be bullied by me at night."

Xiao Wanrong blushed and said, "Lord Wang, you are really getting worse and worse."

Li Ran just wanted to laugh a few more words, but Li Fu's voice came from his waist: "Lord Wang, Master Kong Yingda Kong and Lord Wei Zhengwei are visiting."

"Let them come in", although he was very puzzled why the two of them came, Li Ran knew that it would definitely not be good for the two of them to come together, and finally ordered Li Fu to let the two of them in.

Soon Kong Yingda and Wei Zheng came to the ancient and modern courtyard, and the two of them bowed to Li Ran and explained their intentions.

I only heard Kong Yingda say: "Prince, I don't know why the prince wants to include Tuyuhun in the territory of the Tang Dynasty like the emperor?" ”

Li Ran asked suspiciously, "Isn't this good?" ”

"There will be this time, there will be a next time, so belligerent, how can Datang bear it", but Wei Zheng said.

"Now there are only a few million people in Datang, and they can't afford to consume it at all," Kong Yingda said.

"Hehe, there are some things that I have said a long time ago, there is a saying that words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and I don't bother to say it a second time; If the population is small, it is a birth, give some auxiliary rewards, and improve the marriage and childbirth policy system; If we improve the living standards of the people, are we still afraid that there will be fewer people? If it's just because people will die in battle, then you go to Li Er and ask him to order the people in the Ministry of Industry to research more powerful weapons, so that your own people won't die so much; Besides, I didn't say that there would be a war next time, as long as the country always maintains the strongest posture and no one dares to provoke, then there will be no need to fight; So, you're in the wrong place."

"I don't know what kind of marriage and childbirth policy system the prince thinks is suitable for Datang?" Wei Zheng asked first.

Li Ran's expression was certain, and after a while, he took out a few books and handed them to Wei Zheng: "These are all relevant policies, you can look at it yourself."

Seeing this, Kong Yingda asked: "I don't know what kind of policy the prince thinks can improve the living standards of the people?" ”

"Damn, why do you ask me everything, how do I know, life, in addition to material is culture, you can improve both; It seems to be all your business, you don't even use your brains."

Kong Yingda stood in place embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Li Ran said angrily when he saw this: "Let's go, go and ask Li Er what I once said, don't bother me again if you don't know what to do."

Looking at the two who left in embarrassment, Xiao Wanrong asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, why don't you help, Datang is prosperous and powerful, hasn't it always been your wish?" ”

"Hey, Wanrong, we have to leave sooner or later, if you help him once, then they will come and ask you a second time, and if you have a second time, they will come a third time; I can't help them all my life, so they have to learn to do it on their own, and relying on me is the stupidest idea to do."

"Li Ran is right, everything still depends on themselves, as long as they develop the habit of relying on themselves, then this Datang will make rapid progress", but it is an old way that does not know when.

"Yo, isn't this the old way of going out, coming back so soon, whose girl is this a scourge", Li Ranwei said.

"Heh, Li Ran, you are envious, jealous and hateful, Dao Ye is so suave, as long as Wang Na stops, there will be countless beautiful eyebrows throwing flattering eyes; You don't have to be as troublesome as you pretend, you still have to learn more from me."

"Get out of the way you can, or you'll beat you so much that you don't even know who you are."

"Hey, is this a frying situation, what a lively topic it should be if this gets out."

"Heh, how can it be, the Taoist temple outside the city still needs you to sit in the town, which is definitely a good thing for the people of Chang'an, it's too late for everyone to be happy."

"Heh, Dao Ye is not waiting yet, beauties, Dao Ye is here."

Xiao Wanrong stood behind Li Ran with a sweaty face, and after the old man left, Xiao Wanrong smiled awkwardly: "The way the prince and the eldest prince get along is really special."

"Wanrong, let's not mention him, let's go, uncle will take you into the house to see the wooden fish."
