Chapter 4: Mending the Heavens (5 I)

It's just to grab money, land, and women. Tang Gong Li Yuan didn't expect that his righteous and awe-inspiring "Qing Jun Side" war would be so unbearable in the eyes of his old friends. But he couldn't get angry at Pei Lian's words. Development and growth need money and food, and it is land that is grabbed, and as for women, even if they are great heroes, there will be times when they feel lonely.......

Chewing on his old friend's words, Li Yuan sighed and nodded, "You're right, Chang'an, which is to be attacked, should indeed be rewarded for everyone's contributions." The impulse called for in the name of righteousness can't last long, and everyone has to eat! ”

"Then Duke Tang sees that this advice from his subordinates is worth a thousand acres of good land?" Pei Lin pushed the boat down the river and asked for benefits for himself again.

Li Yuan picked up the official document on the table, split his head and covered his face and threw it at Pei Lian. "Bullshit, you're a traitor. Your old Pei family doesn't produce good people, but some treacherous and cunning people! ”

Pei Lin couldn't dodge, and was smashed so that his official hat was crooked and his clothes were disheveled. He didn't rush to clean up, laughed and replied in a low voice: "If you Li Shude want to be a wise man, there must be a few traitors like me around you." In this way, what you can't say or what you can't do with your face, I have done it all for you. What others like to say, the two of us just need to know it in our hearts! ”

Li Yuan was greatly moved. No one wants to admit that he is a reckless villain, and on the way to the cause of the emperor, he has to constantly pay attention to his words and image. And what Pei Lin can do is the emperor's other hand, an invisible, vicious black hand.

"A thousand hectares of land can be given, but it's all wasteland, and you have to organize people to clear it yourself. Forget about 20,000 yuan, we just got a firm foothold, and we have to spend it carefully! ”

"Thank you, lord!" Pei Lin hurriedly bowed to Li Yuan. "In fact, there have been many wars in Guanzhong and Hedong in the past two years, and there are many borderless places. and then copy some big households, traitors, and small people who support the Yang family, and calculate that the land obtained is enough for each of the brothers to share dozens of acres. Looking forward to the peaceful days, the displaced people can also average dozens of acres. With the land and hope, the hearts of the people will naturally settle down! ”

"Isn't this Zhong Jian's policy of equalizing the fields in the six counties of Boling?" Li Yuan is very smart and very alert at the same time. He can see the benefits of Pei Lian's proposed strategy to strengthen his own turf, and he can also keenly sense the hidden risks.

"It's not the same as Zhong Jian's strategy. After all, he still bears the false name of the chief of Boling, and he can't confiscate other people's land casually. And we are different, we are here for the Qing Jun, all those who are obsessed with following Yang Guang to the black, those who are greedy and lucky, and those who oppress the people and are rich and unkind, can be classified as being cleaned up. The land that can be vacated and the money and food that can be confiscated can be much more than Zhong Jian's. Jingshi has been rich since ancient times, and it is enough for you to spend several months if you empty a few houses. As for the soldiers and the common people, they will only remember who gave them the money and land, and will not inquire about the origin of this strategy! Pei Lin put away the appearance of a hippie smile and said.

"I'll delegate this to someone else. You can help from the side, lest you take the opportunity to embezzle, and I won't be able to help you if you are impeached in the future! Li Yuan nodded and agreed.

"Shude is deep in the way of employing people!" Pei slapped Li Yuan without a trace, making the other party shake his head and laugh.

Seeing that the lord's mood was much better than just now, the marching commander Shi Pei Lin thought about it and continued: "Actually, there is no need for Shude to take the matter just now. In my opinion, the people of the world did not intend to win over the morale of the army. He just forgot to think about how you feel as a father out of a moment! ”

"I hope so!" Li Yuan let out a long sigh and responded.

"Then again, the power to reward money, land, and women is in your own hands. Others want to establish prestige, but they are not so good at it. Pei Lin saw that the expression on his face was still a little lonely, and continued to explain it with good words.

Li Shimin is skilled in arching and horses, brave in battle, and has good connections in the army. But in Pei Lian's opinion, today's incident did go a little too far. There is nothing inherently wrong with young people who like to show their faces as heroes in front of everyone. But you can't charge a hero by slapping your own dad in the face, right?! Besides, this dad is really not a waste, from Taiyuan to conquering the city along the way, which big victory does not have the shadow of the old guy?

Having said this, Li Yuan had no choice but to tell his heart and mind. "I'm not afraid of how Shimin treats me as a father, after all, he is my Li Yuan's biological flesh and blood, and he won't become a beast that even my father is forcing me. I'm worried that after a hundred years, Jiancheng will be a generous brother, but in terms of fighting with soldiers, he is indeed far inferior to the people of the world! ”

After listening to Li Yuan's worries, Pei Lian, who had always had a name for organic changes, hesitated for a rare moment. After a while, he sighed and said gloomily, "Maybe the prince needs more opportunities to train." After all, he has been in the middle of the road along the way, although he has not won any big battles, and he has not made any big mistakes! ”

"I don't know how to give him a chance. At the beginning of the army, except for Liu Hongji, I sent all the most powerful generals and the best strategists under his command! Li Yuan sighed and shook his head, very disappointed by the performance of the built.

As a father, he has done enough partiality. However, it is also a well-known fact that the record of the left army is far inferior to that of the right road. In addition to Chai Shao's repeated beheading of famous generals under Li Shimin, Hou Junji and eldest grandson Shunde have made great achievements. The most long-faced for Li Shimin is Liu Hongji, the left unifier army, from Huoyi, Fufeng, Weishui to the foot of Chang'an, this son has won successive battles, invincible. Without waiting for the other brothers to follow, with only one vanguard force, they killed Wen Sheng, the guard left behind in Beijing, to the point of saddling and vomiting blood, and a few days after returning to the city, he left west.

If he had known that Chai Shao, Eldest Sun Shunde and Liu Hongji could make such great achievements, Li Yuan would rather have sent them all under Jiancheng's command at the beginning. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his second son, Shimin, was powerful. As a person with many years of experience in knowing and employing people, he is very clear about the relationship between whether the talents under his command can play a role and whether the person in charge can know people and make good use of them. As the saying goes, if there is a soldier, there will be a nest of soldiers. Chai Shao and others won successive battles, which shows that Li Shimin is an outstanding commander. On the other hand, with the help of veterans such as Chen Yanshou and Qian Jiulong, how can they explain their achievements if they are not incapacitated?

In a short period of time, Li Yuan can help the eldest son suppress the edge of the second son. But as the battle for the championship became farther and fiercer, he would eventually have to let the people of the world take charge alone. At that time, why should Jiancheng compete with his younger brother? If an elder brother who is not strong in ability but has a benevolent temperament becomes a prince, and the younger brother is brave and ruthless at the same time, and has the heart of the army, wouldn't it be the second Yang Yong and Yang Guang?

"Shude can think of this in advance, and he is far wiser than the first emperor." Pei Lin was also helpless about the predicament Li Yuan was facing, so he could only try his best to let his old friend see the bright side. "You don't have to do anything if you plan so early. Besides, your previous arrangement itself was problematic, and it seemed that you were taking care of Shizi, but in fact it limited his room for display! ”

"Oh! What do you mean by that? Li Yuan listened to Pei Lian's words with a faint intention of justifying the completion of the building, and hurriedly listened to it.

"Lao Chen and Lao Qian are indeed veterans, but they are old after all. There is more than enough to keep and not enough to enterprising. And our army poured south, and it was the time to open up. You used a few generals to assist the prince to expand the territory, didn't you deliberately tie his hands and feet? Shude took a closer look, since we sent out the army, the most warlike people are those young people. Especially those who are inexperienced, they use the army to be imaginative, and ordinary people can't figure it out at all! ”

"That's true!" Li Yuan nodded again and again when he heard this. At present, the most outstanding results in his army as a whole are not Li Shimin's right army. Although the right army played triumphant songs along the way, and Liu Hongji, a victorious general, came out. But compared to the results of the Women's Army, Li Shimin and others could only look up. Shangdang, Changping, Jiangxian, Wencheng, roughly calculated, nearly half of the Li family's land is currently planted by Li Wan'er. This does not include the achievements of Sun Hua and Qiu Shili. And these fierce generals under Li Wan'er's command were almost all unknown before.

"Therefore, in the future, Tang Gong may wish to send more young people to the command of the prince. The construction is known to accommodate people, and the young man is there for him, so he does not worry about being useless! Pei Lin said as he sorted out his thoughts, and finally came up with a few brilliant ideas.

"Indeed! These few words of yours are worth a thousand acres! Li Yuan's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He must create more opportunities for the completion of the construction, and he must strive to increase the thickness of the completed team. But who else can be added to the eldest son's command now, Liu Hongji has been very estranged from Jiancheng since the Battle of Liaodong that year. The newcomers Wang Yuantong and Qi Poning are still good, but they were also built and thrown on the east bank of the Liao River. Even if Wan'er is willing to give her subordinates to her brother, the two may not be willing to do their best under Jianjian!

After thinking about it, Li Yuan did not find a person in the younger generation under his command who could compete with Liu Hongji. Speaking from the heart, Hou Junji and the eldest grandson Wuji are both good, but the two have long become the hardcore of the people. As a father, he is already very eccentric, and he can't do it too much to make the second son's teeth cold.

It wasn't until midnight that Li Yuan finally found a suitable candidate in a daze. That man was brave and invincible. That person knows how to repay his kindness, and he is upright. What's more, that person has no ambition and never does what he can't do.

"When he asked me for help, he voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield of winning the championship. I should find him a good home! Turning over, the stone in Li Yuan's heart fell to the ground with a bang, and his breathing became sweet and even in an instant.

Drinker's note: On September 18, let us applaud those who rose up to resist foreign humiliation. No matter what faith they have, for what purpose. Those who pick up guns to defend their homeland in the event of an invasion are heroes.
