Chapter 69: Did You Do It?
readx;
Du He's proposal is still very youhuoxing, China is vast, but the ancient technology is far less than that of later generations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In later generations, as long as there are abundant reserves in a mining area, even if it is four or five thousand meters underground, there is a way to get it up and turn it into wealth. But the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago did not have this ability, and their first means of mining was to dig mines. However, the ore reserves of mountain mines are far lower than those of underground mines, and the vast majority of real minerals are located deep underground, which is difficult to access with ancient technology, and it is not easy to reach one or two hundred meters by manpower.
The Central Plains is vast and abundant, but the mines are limited after all, and most of the well-known ones are very small because of the mining for thousands of years. Except for some mines that have not been discovered for the time being, the mining industry in the Tang Dynasty was quite tight.
Yunnan is a well-known mining area in China, known as the "Kingdom of Metals", with huge ore reserves.
Because of the backward technology, it has not undergone any mining, and it can fully meet the mineral needs of Datang and create huge benefits for Datang.
**It is also a multi-mining area, because of learning the technology of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has hired technicians to mine mining, and has established a number of mining areas in the territory. However, their establishment was too short, the population was too small, and only a small part of the ore mined in those mining areas was a small part of them, and the Tang Dynasty could have taken over the mining areas and could have made a profit without any investment.
There is also Changbai Mountain, all kinds of ginseng, deer antler, mink skin and something in Changbai Mountain are rare things, as the treasure mountain of the Tang Dynasty, why not take the materials in the mountains reasonably?
Investing in a place that has already been developed is a great benefit, and investing in a place that has not been developed is a huge benefit.
Du He does not have the pedantry of a scholar, and he opens and closes his mouth to interests and profits, which certainly makes people feel that the philistines do not like it, but no one does not say that this is a clever proposal.
Li Shimin was a genius and ambitious, he was not satisfied with the victory in front of him, and he hoped to use Nanzhao and Tubo as a springboard to continue to advance the Tang army's army to distant and unknown areas. What he needs is a territory that can contribute to the Tang Empire, not a land that symbolizes glory but cannot obtain benefits.
Sui Liang's suspicion is also somewhat reasonable, after all, if it is not my race, its heart must be different.
But this may not be all right, just as Mencius said, "The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart: the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard the king as the countrymen: the king's eyes as the ministers as the mustard, and the ministers regard the king as the enemy."
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a Jin Ri*, who was the crown prince of the Xiongnu, not a Han Chinese, but under the courtesy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jin Ri* established immortal achievements in maintaining national unity and social stability, and was the minister of the Han Dynasty, side by side with Huo Guang.
There are also such people in the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Sheer, Qi * He Li, and Zhi Zhi Sili, whose achievements for the Tang Dynasty are no less than any Han general, and their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is also the same.
As long as you treat the alien race sincerely, you may not be able to integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a sharp blade to the outside world.
Of course, no one can guarantee that everyone in the alien race has Ashina Sheer, Qi Cang He Li, and Persistence and Lost Thinking Force, and there are many people who are loyal and opposed, but so what?
Li Shimin is high and contempts everything, where does he care if **, Yunnan, and Goguryeo will be opposed. It's really reversed, just destroy it, kill all the rebels, and the rest should be the obedient people who are willing to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin has always been bold, has a gambler's mentality, is not afraid of failure, dares to fight, and Du He's proposal will bring huge benefits to Datang, so he immediately made a decision and decided to come down.
The court meeting was discussed until noon, and the civil and military dispersed.
Du He stayed at the suggestion of Uchishi and was led to the Inner Palace Canteen.
Li Shimin changed into the formal clothes of the court, wore a loose dragon robe, and strode in.
Recently, there have been many happy events, and it can be seen that the ruler of the Tang Dynasty Emperor is in a particularly comfortable mood, and he is a little fluttering when he walks.
After the wine and food were served, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Come, virtuous son-in-law, you and I haven't gotten together for a long time to drink a cup, I have newly made wine, can you taste it?" ”
Du He smiled and nodded, Li Shimin's winemaking skills are good, and the wine produced is not much worse than those well-known wines in later generations. Aromatic in the mouth, pure in taste, and a compliment.
Li Shimin smiled happily, and only Du He could praise his skills so carelessly. He is the emperor, and in the eyes of all the ministers of civil and military affairs, the emperor is a high example and cannot do anything degrading to his identity.
Even when he rests, he relaxes and teases rabbits and plays with birds, and he will receive advice from his advisors, not to mention that he has time to think about growing grapes and making wine, no matter how delicious the wine he makes, few people will praise their skills in this regard.
Du He is different, he doesn't feel anything wrong with Li Shimin's craft, as long as he doesn't lose his mind from playthings, why interfere in his life, he sincerely admires Li Shimin's craftsmanship.
Li Shimin was also happy to share the wine he made.
Li Shimin still had something serious to discuss when he left Duhe, and drinking was just incidental.
What he wants to say is about the leakage of military information, Du He, as the commander of the army of the Southwest Road, is in his hands, and if he finds out about this kind of thing, even if it is not under his jurisdiction, he must give him an explanation and tell him a result.
"Regarding the leakage of information, there are already preliminary results" Li Shimin calmed his face and put away his smile.
Du He was shocked, then put down the wine glass, and listened carefully, he was still very concerned about this matter. As a commander of the three armed forces, the safety of the soldiers is on his shoulders, and the lives of every soldier are his responsibility. Although for various reasons, the existence of Neijiān did not bring much harm to the army. But this kind of thing must not be tolerated.
This time it's luck, what about the next time?
Will there be such good luck next time?
Fighting a war is not a child's play, and a small problem in the details can lead to the rout of the three armies, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are buried in their homeland.
Du He asked himself if he couldn't afford this responsibility.
Therefore, we attach great importance to the outcome of this matter.
"Yes" Li Shimin said here, hesitated for a moment and said: "All the evidence points to the eldest grandson Shunde, and the eldest grandson Shunde also admitted that everything was done by him. But I don't believe it, and neither do the officials of Wei Qing's family and Dali Temple. The eldest grandson, Shunde, admitted everything, but couldn't say why. He doesn't look like a planner at all, full of substitution. ”
When Du He heard this, he remembered the unsolved question that had been in his heart, and the eldest grandson Wuji said to the old man inexplicably, and shouted: "Is it the eldest grandson?" Impossible, right? No matter how he grudges with me, he won't do anything to hurt Datang's interests, and I believe that the eldest grandson is still loyal to Datang. ”
Du He likes to beat the water dogs, but he didn't do it at this time, in front of Li Shimin, who has excellent political means, those little tricks will not work, and beating the water dogs will only be in vain
People, it's better to really say what you think in your heart.
Li Shimin secretly praised that the eldest grandson Wuji targeted Du He in the court, he saw it with his own eyes, Du He is still able to defend the eldest grandson Wuji and speak for the eldest grandson Wuji, this integrity, this xiong placket, it is really good. Such a character is worthy of entrusting the future of Datang.
"At first, I didn't believe it, I knew that Wuji might not be a good person, but I absolutely believed in his loyalty to Datang and to me. But now it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. All the evidence has disappeared, and even the officials of Me, Wei Qing's family, and Dali Temple can't find out, and the news is all broken on Wu Yuanqing's body. Maybe it's because I can't cure him that he's so fearless......"
Li Shimin said this, in fact, he is not so sure in his heart that the eldest grandson Wuji is really the person behind the scenes. But Wu Meiniang's layout is too exquisite, and the eldest grandson Shunde is stuck in the way of the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Shunde was involved, which is already an ironclad fact. He couldn't escape, and he admitted it himself.
Now it can also be proved that the eldest grandson Shunde is not the person behind the scenes, and there is a black hand behind him.
The eldest grandson Shunde said that it was Wu Yuanqing, but who believed it?
Wu Yuanqing is a second ancestor who eats and drinks together, disloyal and unfilial, and has no status and power at all, how can he have the ability to manipulate such a big layout.
It's not the eldest grandson Shunde, it can only be the eldest grandson Wuji.
Du He still didn't believe that the eldest grandson Wuji would do this kind of thing, but he didn't understand the situation, and he didn't express any opinions, Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and the officials of Dali Temple all have rich experience in handling cases, and they all feel that the eldest grandson Wuji is suspicious, so what else can they say?
Hearing the words "Wu Yuanqing", Du He was shocked, others didn't know Wu Yuanqing's whereabouts, but he understood. At the beginning, Wu Yuanqing relied on his identity as Wu Meiniang's father and brother, and he was embarrassed by Wu Meiniang many times.
For the sake of Wu Meiniang, Du He drove Wu Yuanqing out of Chang'an by extraordinary means, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.
How dare they go back to Chang'an?
Avenge?
This is a big joke, Wu Yuanqing has nothing, Du He is as easy as pinching an ant to death, they will never have the courage to seek revenge.
Difficult......
Du He remembered Li Xueyan's disguise technique, remembered that Wu Meiniang was secretly monitoring the eldest grandson Wuji, and remembered the possibility of the eldest grandson Wuji harming the Tang Dynasty, and his face changed, "Could it be her?" Du He felt his heart tremble.
Li Shimin also noticed the abnormality, he knew that Wu Yuanqing had relied on his identity as the son of the martial family, and was embarrassed by Du He and Wu Meiniang, but he thought that Du He had heard Wu Yuanqing's reason, and he didn't think much about it.
Du Heqiang cheered up and accompanied Li Shimin to lunch.
This one left the palace and went straight to the mansion.
came directly to Wu Meiniang's room, closed the door tightly, looked at Wu Meiniang, who was already waiting for the trial, and asked in that hoarse voice, "Did you do it?" ”!。
