The deception of the Living Buddha Lago was successfully resolved, and the reincarnation religion that was all the rage in Chang'an was finally dismantled, and the monks involved in the case and the officials who contributed to the trouble behind the scenes were arrested and brought to justice. Li Shimin personally supervised the matters after the conclusion of the case, and tried his best to recover the stolen money from the reincarnation religion and return it to the people.

Up and down the court, there was a lot of jubilation, and the name of Li Shimin as a sage once again bloomed.

In this case, Li Hao did not show up in the follow-up work except for the trial of Lage, and handed over all the credit to Li Shimin. After all, the Tang Dynasty belongs to the Li family, and Li Hao, a foreign monarch, has too much to do, which may cause misunderstanding.

With the subsidence of this turmoil, even the sequelae caused by years of conquest have also been alleviated. Li Hao's generous speech in the palace that day completely made the world accept the duties of a soldier.

Born as a human being, there are few people who do not cherish their lives, but soldiers and soldiers, even if they know that they are dead and alive, still have to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and moths to the fire. It's not that they are not afraid of life and death, but that they know that they still have their families and homes behind them.

Li Hao, as the commander of the Linghui Army, took the lead in every battle. After the war, he almost emptied the treasury and appeased the people, and what he did could be described as benevolent and righteous.

Soon, the old site of the reincarnation religion was bought by Li Shimin with money, and a new ancestral hall was established, and all the rankings of the battlefields that have died in the past few years are enshrined in the ancestral hall for thousands of people to worship and enjoy the incense in the world.

Mrs. Zhou, who has always hated Li Hao, also completely woke up after the conversation in the public court, and was willing to become a nun and became the host of the ancestral hall to manage the temple of all souls.

Looking at the news of the Ten Thousand Souls Temple on the front page of Chang'an Daily, Li Hao smiled slightly and put the newspaper down.

"After a month of planning, we have finally stabilized the hearts of the people, Your Majesty is really a good means!" Li Hao smiled and arched his hand towards Li Shimin.

is also the king of a country, Li Shimin's means of ruling a country can never be weaker than Li Haolai. In ancient times, there was a superstition, and there was a hypothesis that he would be a ghost after death. Raise the soul and set up an ancestral hall, so that the soul of the lost warrior can enjoy the fireworks in the world, so that he can suffer less suffering and be reincarnated as soon as possible.

This set is very useful to the common people and even the soldiers of the army, since the construction of the Temple of All Souls, no one will lament the war, and the soldiers are proud to be able to enter the Temple of All Souls after their deaths. The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted.

Li Shimin won't pay attention to Li Hao's shooting

Sycophant, and then asked another question.

"The sequelae caused by the war in the past few years have now been completely eliminated under your planning, so next, I don't know what the prince of Zhen'an wants to do?"

Li Shimin still remembers the words that Li Hao said with a little drunkenness that day, the purpose of King Zhen'an is not only that.

As the two discussed that day, the countries that peeked into the land of the Central Plains were not only Turkic Dongying. It was only because of the Turks in the middle that they were not able to do anything.

Now that the Turks are gone, it is difficult to say how things will develop in the future.

Li Hao also saw Li Shimin's worries, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lao Li, what do you think of me Li Hao?" I am warlike, but I am not warlike. Don't worry, I see the situation of the Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom, and I won't fight again until the vitality is restored! ”

"That's good, that's good!" Li Shimin slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his assurance.

With Li Hao's resourcefulness and means, if he really looks like a war, he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, may not be able to stop him! Sent troops to attack the Khitan before, wasn't it also planned by Li Hao?

"So I don't know what Prince Zhen'an wants to do now?"

Li Hao fiddled with the teacup in his hand: "After delaying for so long, I should also meet the Li Kingdom." I've been a shopkeeper for so long, so it's not good to let them do it for me all the time, and occasionally I have to take care of things myself. ”

"In the past few years of war, you and I have suffered a lot of losses, Xiao Li and I won't go around in circles with you, I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, if there is any good way to restore the vitality of the army, just say it quickly."

Li Shimin and even the importance of the army to a country.

In the past few years, although the Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom have joined forces to lay down a large land territory. But the battlefield suffered heavy casualties, and the number of Datang's troops also plummeted by more than fifty percent. There are not enough troops in his hands, even Li Shimin is panicked,

Li Hao nodded and said: "There is a way, you and I put benevolence and righteousness first, we recruit troops, we must not arrest strong men, we must let the people themselves will." As long as the conditions of our conscription make it impossible for everyone to refuse, there will naturally be an endless stream of people joining the army! ”

"You also said that there are brave men under heavy rewards, our two countries, what we lack most now is money!" Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

The number of dead and wounded soldiers in the country is too large, and the Li Kingdom is particularly generous to the dead and wounded soldiers, the Tang Dynasty is adjacent to the Li Kingdom, if there is too much difference, it may attract criticism, so Li Shimin can only grit his teeth and follow the Li Kingdom's standard of appeasing the people.

Now not only the Li Kingdom, but also the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is about to be emptied.

"So, we have to find a way to make money now!" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Oh? Let's Zhen'an Wangye, are you going to abandon martial arts and engage in business again? ”

Li Shimin became interested and asked with a smile.

Li Hao shook his head: "It's not counting, I have given full authority to Wan'er and Li Zhong in Lijiazhuang's business, and now I take it back, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the times." I can only find one way at most, and I will leave it to them how to do it! ”

"What way?"

"Silk Road!"

"The Silk Road?" Li Shimin frowned: "You mean the one in Yumen Pass?" The western countries were indeed very interested in the goods of our Central Plains, and merchants could make a lot of money by coming and going. But there are too many people who have tasted the sweetness, and the business on that road is nearly saturated. I'm afraid it will cause chaos! ”

"Naturally, it's not the road outside the Jade Gate! The business on this road is basically saturated, and I naturally don't like some of the details. I'm talking about the Silk Road, at sea! ”

"At sea?"

Li Hao spread his hands: "Naturally, otherwise Lao Li, do you think that I have been building a sailor and casting a warship for so many years, and I have just fought a fierce battle with the Turks, and I haven't had a rest, so why did I cross the ocean to fight Dongying?" Isn't it just to open up the passage to the Central Plains Sea? ”

"When you say this, I think of it, since Dongying declared himself a vassal to the Li Kingdom, the maritime countries have indeed been much more polite to our Central Plains, and two months ago, the King of Ryukyu also sent people to pay tribute, wanting to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty!"

"The strength of the Dongying Island National Naval Division is well known to the world, and now we have joined forces to completely defeat Dongying at sea, naturally, it will shock the world. Now that the nations dare not despise the Tang Dynasty sailors, the trade routes on the sea have naturally been opened! Land transport is expensive and too slow. I am confident that the Maritime Silk Road will have more potential than the one at Yumen Pass! ”
