In fact, in Du He's heart, Alexander is not even comparable to Li Shimin, even with Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Xuan of Han and others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Alexander, as a military strategist, may be extremely good, but as a king he is not qualified at all, and there are many emperors in China who are better than him. He can only be regarded as a conqueror, a conqueror who relies on force to bring others to his knees. Once he died, the land he fought would fall apart, and it could not be compared with the prosperous civilizations of China.

However, in order to stimulate Li Shimin, Du He faced Li Shimin's "unintentional" question, and said against his will: "That's natural, Alexander the Great is majestic and strategic, both civil and military, and has created a super prosperous era that is no less than the rule of Wenjing, and has also fought classic battles that are no less than the Battle of Pengcheng, the Battle of Guandu, and the Battle of Weishui, but it is good." It is said that he can't control the size of his territory! ”

This is not illegal to brag anyway, and Du He is even more brainless and brainless here, directly touting that "Alexander" in the sky and in the ground, and put him on the altar.

Li Shimin is a little dumbfounded, his heart is very uncomfortable, all along, he has always taken the Qin Emperor and Han Wu as the goal, with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, the cultural and martial arts are incomparable to the previous dynasties, especially in recent years, because of the emergence of Du He, the Tang Dynasty's west broke the Western Regions, the south won over Tibet, and the economy, science and technology and culture have made full progress, as long as the grand strategy of Jiangnan development is successful, and the Maritime Silk Road is opened, the Tang Dynasty will have enough economic strength to use troops against Mobei, Liaodong, and Goguryeo, and be ashamed of the previous dynasty.

For this goal, according to the current development of Datang, the calculation in his heart is five years, but now there is an inexplicable more unattainable figure to come out, and he feels naturally extremely depressed in his heart.

Du He saw Li Shimin stretching out his hand to hold a piece of ham meat, his hand was stretched out like that, and the ham meat fell back into the plate without realizing it, it seemed that the stimulation was really not small, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Will it be too exciting!" "Thinking about it carefully, greedy for quick talk, it seems that he has beautified "Alexander" as the first Ming Jun in the United States.

"Well, that's an exaggeration!" After thinking about it again, he said: "However, the meaning of the existence of this predecessor is an example for future generations to surpass, I heard that Alexander lived to be eighty years old, and his father-in-law is only forty this year, and there is still a lot of time." The son-in-law didn't believe it, and in forty years, the great father-in-law would not be as good as that Alexander. ”

"Ahem!" When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly felt very fond of it, his eyes narrowed, his chin was twisted and his black beard was twisted, and he said proudly: "I raised an army against the Sui at the age of eighteen, pacified the world at the age of twenty-four, ascended the throne and became emperor at the age of twenty-nine, and set the Western Regions at the age of forty. ”

Du He rolled his eyes in his heart, he was really narcissistic enough, he just said that he was fat, and he gasped. He was so slanderous in his heart, but there was a smile between his eyebrows.

The previous words came from the mouth of others, Du He only thought he was farting, and it stinks, but it was different from Li Shimin's mouth. Li Shimin is very narcissistic, which is undeniable, but it is because of his narcissism that he has a very strong superiority, and the previous words can be understood as Li Shimin's declaration of war on his fictional "Alexander", for the time being, for those countries that are about to fall under the Tang Dynasty!

"Regarding the development of Jiangnan, the virtuous son-in-law will take care of it a lot! What is needed, but it doesn't matter, I am not stingy with the money and things that should be used. Li Shimin's eyes are full of fighting spirit, and the development of Jiangnan is related to whether Datang has enough money and enough grain and grass in the future. Li Shimin has already attached great importance to this matter, but now that he has a more long-term vision, the development of Jiangnan is particularly important.

Du He has made great efforts in the development of Jiangnan, and he does not want to fall short, so he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, my son-in-law will do his best to handle Jiangnan affairs." ”

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction, remembering Li Chengqian's complaint a few days ago: "Not long ago, someone reported to me, saying that you colluded with the martial arts, that you had mobilized huge sums of money from the martial arts family in Jiangnan, and that you were the mastermind behind the scenes of the martial arts. Naturally, I don't believe it. However, it is groundless, and it may not be without a cause, and there are many things that are involuntary in doing things in the DPRK. This is especially true if you are young and in a high position. I can give you everything here, but it's better to pay attention to some! He didn't believe that Du He was greedy for money, but he knew that if he was not sure enough, Li Chengqian would not sue Du He in front of him, and the only explanation was that Du He did something that he didn't even know about himself, which made people seize the handle.

As a father, Li Shimin still gave Li Chengqian a little face, and did not name him, but he didn't know that Du He already knew about it.

Du He didn't break it here, thought about it, patted his head and said: "Oh, what's going on, it's the son-in-law's fault, but the situation was in crisis at the time, and the son-in-law couldn't care so much." The second girl of the martial family and I are old acquaintances, she is the second daughter of the Ministry of Works, and the second daughter of Wu Tutong of the Sixth Cao Shangshu, which is slightly not inferior to the man, which is very good. The son-in-law even dared to say here that if she was a man, she would definitely be the prime minister of the country. It's a pity that because of his father's early death, he was abused by his half-brother and left home to Chang'an. In order to make a living, you must not devote yourself to the business world, start from scratch, and lay a large foundation. A few years ago, she planned to expand her business and run tea, but because of her weak foundation, she lacked start-up capital. The son-in-law saw that she was really talented, so he borrowed a large amount of money from her and charged her appropriate interest. However, in the past few years, the samurai family made a fortune because of tea and made a lot of money. She has always wanted to return the money, but her son-in-law is here every month, and she is really not short of money, so she is allowed to keep it. It wasn't until the outbreak of the Jiangnan epidemic that the son-in-law asked the second girl Wu for a sum of money. She is a businessman and has a wide range of business channels, so for convenience, I directly asked her to help me buy materials to help the victims of the disaster in Suzhou. The son-in-law really couldn't imagine that he would be manipulated by others. ”

Although Li Shimin did not ask in detail about the process, Du He told the truth about the matter and said it in detail.

"I see, that's ......" Li Shimin heard the reason, and his heart was also abrupt, and he didn't say more, but said: "The person who falsely accused the virtuous son-in-law, I have already given the corresponding punishment, and you don't have to care." ”

It is not known what punishment Li Chengqian received, but since he filed a complaint, Du He has never met him again, and even in the early dynasty, there was no trace of him: as Li Chengqian's crown prince, he should have studied the law of governing the country by Li Shimin's side every time he was in the early dynasty. Li Shimin even restricted him from the early dynasty, which shows that this punishment is not ordinarily heavy.

Du He also remembered something and said: "The development of Jiangnan not only requires us to make decisions here, but also needs good ministers to implement. The son-in-law has a suitable candidate in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not! "With his status at the moment, it is not enough to interfere with the appointment of officials in the court, but they drink and discuss in the canteen, and they do not have the solemnity of the court, and their words and deeds have a bit of chatting meaning, so they have no scruples.

Li Shimin smiled disapprerovingly: "What you want to say is that Hangzhou is too guarded by Liu Renliang!" ”

Du He responded with a smile, Liu Renliang was his subordinate, and he has a deep understanding of his talent, he is the future prime minister, and he has the talent to govern the country's major affairs, but he has no family status and no opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Li Shimin said: "Liu Renliang was originally sent to you by me, how can you not know about his talent, even if you don't say it, I still have this meaning...... You said in the recital that two ports were to be built in Shanghai and Canton for overseas trade. I plan to canonize Liu Renliang as the assassin of Suzhou, and let him focus on the development of Shanghai. Guangzhou I also have a suitable candidate, the most important thing is to have two crops of rice, my Datang is most lacking now is food, as far as possible to make the two crops of rice planting successful. ”

Shanghai and Guangzhou are the two most suitable ports for maritime trade according to the later development trend of history, according to the name of the Tang Dynasty, Shanghai should be called Jiading and Guangzhou is called Panyu, but Du He just felt that these two names were not pleasant, and by the way they changed a name, and Li Shimin also agreed.

Hangzhou Longjing Village!

Wu Meiniang packed up her salute and was saying goodbye to her eldest sister Wu Shun.

Wu Shun reluctantly took Wu Meiniang's hands and said, "Meiniang, I'm leaving so soon, my eldest sister still hopes that you will stay a little longer and accompany your eldest sister more!" ”

"I miss him, I can't stay here for a moment......" Wu Meiniang blushed, but she didn't have any scruples in front of her sister, telling the truth. Wu Shun has a talent for business, and she takes care of Jiangnan's business, making a lot of money, but in terms of details, she is always much inferior to Wu Meiniang, and there are some minor problems.

Wu Meiniang knew the priorities, and did not return to Chang'an with Du He, but stayed in Hangzhou to deal with it.

Until now, all the details and deficiencies have been solved. After dealing with everything, Wu Meiniang was in a hurry to prepare for the salute.

Wu Shun covered his mouth and chuckled: "Okay, since that's the case, I'm not forced to be the eldest sister...... Oh, by the way, sister here's something for you to taste, it tastes very good! She walked out of the room, and when she came in again, she had in her hand a plate containing pieces of sliced pink fruit and something like that, I don't know what it was called, but I had never seen it.

Wu Meiniang took a piece and took a bite, it was crunchy, very sweet and refreshing, a fruit that had never been eaten.

"It's ......"

Wu Shun said with a smile: "Eldest sister doesn't know, a few days ago, our merchant ship rescued a person at sea, and he gave it to us." said that there are things that we don't have in Datang, and there are some better, you take them back, and by the way, bring them to your mother and little sister to try them, as well as your sweetheart......"
