Chapter 357: Inner Saint and Outer King
After Jin Xiang left, King Teng breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Qinzai looked at him with a smile.
King Teng was very unhappy when he saw his expression, and bared his teeth like a bared tooth: "What! ”
Li Qinzai smiled: "Mo Hao, when I turn around, I will tell the story of His Royal Highness planting in the pit, please be articulate, divide it into twenty episodes and stand on Suzaku Street in Chang'an City and keep talking back and forth." ”
King Teng suddenly panicked: "Zhuzian dares to insult my name!" ”
Li Qinzai sighed: "His Royal Highness always threatens me and always asks me if I dare, in fact, what do I dare not do?" ”
Everyone is a senior gentleman, what else is there not to dare to do except rebel?
King Teng is really polite, this product is a bit of a bully and afraid of hard.
"Ahem, Uncle Li, take a step to speak."
Li Qinzai said without thinking: "Don't borrow!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
He is already very clear about the virtues of the gentlemen, in short, he can't get used to them, and the same is true for the old gentlemen.
…………
Li Zhi and Empress Wu didn't get up until three poles in the morning, and Li Qinzai really doubted whether the couple had come to Ganjingzhuang to do business or to take a vacation.
Or is it that a new environment has been changed, and the long-lost passion of middle-aged couples has been rejuvenated, and it was rare to turn the phoenix upside down last night?
Li Zhi still had no intention of leaving Zhuangzi, so Li Qinzai had no choice but to lead him to the kiln where the cement was fired again.
The mouth of the kiln where the cement was burned was very polluted, and Li Qinzai specially made a thick mask, which was padded with multiple layers of linen cloth and turf, and a layer of sheepskin on the outside opened more than a dozen air holes.
Li Qinzai strictly ordered the farmer to wear a mask, as long as he worked, he was not allowed to take it off, otherwise he would be severely fined, which was no joke, and if he suffered from pneumoconiosis, his life would basically be lost.
Not only wearing masks, but also paying attention to maintenance on weekdays, Li Qinzai asked people to boil pig blood soup near the kiln mouth every day, and let the farmers run every day to exercise their lungs.
Li Zhi was very puzzled by the rules set by Li Qinzai, so Li Qinzai had to patiently explain it, and Li Zhi suddenly realized.
"Your Majesty, burning cement is actually a job to break Yangshou, and the minister has a proposal......" Li Qinzai said hesitantly.
Jing Chu said.
"In the future, if Datang wants to burn cement, it is better to let the criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes in the prison do it, or let the foreign prisoners of war do it, such as the Wa Kingdom, Your Majesty can order the Wa Kingdom to send 10,000 strong men to help us burn the cement......"
Li Zhi smiled: "Your proposal is poisonous enough, the Japanese country is already very honest, and you are still harming other people's people." ”
"The Japanese are not considered human...... It's better than harming our own people, right? ”
Li Qinzai saw that Li Zhi did not agree, so he had to say: "Or, Your Majesty asked the generals of Baekje to sweep away the remnants of the hard work and arrest a few more prisoners of war and send them over, in short, our Datang lacks labor, not only burns cement, but also builds roads, bridges, river embankments and so on in the future." ”
"Your Majesty must tell those generals that in the future, you can't just kill the living enemy on the battlefield, killing people is a loss, it's too much of a loss."
Li Zhi smiled angrily, pointed at him and said, "You go and tell your grandfather and those old generals yourself, see if they smoke you and you'll be finished." ”
Li Qinzai said worriedly: "It's really a shortage of people, the farmers in the minister's own Zhuangzi can't burn cement for a long time, it's too harmful to the body, and the current burning of cement is only temporary, and the work will be stopped after a few days when the amount is enough." ”
"How good are the prisoners of war, they are afraid of death, and they are hardworking, as long as they take care of the food, they don't have to pay for work, and they are full of treasures."
Li Zhi shook his head with a smile: "I will give an order to Sun Renshi, the head of the march of Xiongjin Dao, and ask him to send a thousand prisoners of war to try, if the prisoners of war can really be used, it can be set as a rule in the future." ”
Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Send two thousand, Your Majesty, from Baekje to Guanzhong, there may be a lot of prisoners of war killed on the way, and it would be good to have half of them left when you get to the ground." ”
Li Zhi said indifferently: "Then two thousand, it's okay." ”
Junchen seemed to be chatting, but the content of the chat was full of blood, but both Junchen felt normal, as if they were talking about the recent lack of mouth, hunting a few wild animals to taste.
Li Zhi is a benevolent monarch, but Renjun is only a subject of the Tang Dynasty, and he is not so merciful to the prisoners of war and the people of foreign countries.
From childhood to adulthood, he was exposed to his father Li Shimin's southern and northern wars, Li Zhi was not an emperor who was soft-hearted to the enemy, in fact, he launched foreign wars, killing more people than his father, and every time he fell into a city, slaughtering the city has become a common practice.
Inner saint and outer king, this is the style that belongs exclusively to Li Zhi.
The relaxed political environment of the Tang Dynasty makes the domestic folk style extraordinarily simple, but for the neighboring countries of the Tang Dynasty, in the more than ten years since Li Zhi ascended the throne, the monarchs of the neighboring countries have never felt a sense of oppression.
Especially after Baekje was destroyed, and then the Wa Kingdom was destroyed again, this sense of oppression became more serious, and it is not an exaggeration for the Tang Army to say that it is sweeping the world, and they do have this strength.
What's more, there are also the divine arm bow, gunpowder and three-eyed gun invented by Li Qinzai, which added a blessing to the Tang army, and it is already invincible in the world.
The two left the kiln and walked aimlessly in the Zhuangzi.
Li Zhi suddenly sighed and said: "Sun Renshi has leveled Baekje, and the remaining remnants can't turn over the wind and waves, and you have destroyed the Wa Kingdom again, and you have completely cut off the last sea supply line of Goguryeo, originally I planned to go east to Goguryeo next year, who ......knows."
"There is an inexplicable drought this year, could it be that God is warning me not to use force?"
Li Qinzai said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty should wait patiently for two years, this year's drought is serious, and the treasury has to spend a lot of relief grain, so it will take about a year or two to recover its vitality. ”
Li Zhi sighed: "If my Datang food is enough, those strong neighbors of Datang would have been conquered by me a long time ago, why are you afraid of the tail now, and you are in a dilemma." ”
"Grain ......" Li Qinzai thought thoughtfully.
Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "There are many ways at the beginning of the scene, can you think of a way to increase grain production?" ”
"Your Majesty is calm, the minister is just a mortal, not an immortal."
Li Zhi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Also, if Jing Chu can even come up with a way to increase production of grain, isn't he a god." ”
Li Qinzai hesitated for a long time, and said softly: "There is a way to try your luck, see if Your Majesty is willing to gamble......
Li Zhi was taken aback, and then rejoiced: "Jing Chu really has a way?" ”
"It's a way to hit the luck, it may not be possible, the probability of failure is very high, if you fail in the future, I'm afraid ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately interrupted: "I will never blame, just do my best, maybe I just hit the luck, talk about it quickly." ”
Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment and asked slowly: "What does the 'world' look like in the eyes of His Majesty?" ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said: "The so-called 'world' is naturally the Tang Dynasty, as well as the surrounding Tibetans, Turkic remnants, the Tatan, Goguryeo, Baekje Silla, etc., I heard that there is a broader land in the east of the ocean, but that is just a rumor." ”
Li Qinzai shook his head: "The world is very big, absolutely beyond Your Majesty's imagination, and those undiscovered continents are rich in products, all kinds of crops, all kinds of exotic flowers and fruits. ”
"There are many species that Datang does not have, and if they can be collected and transplanted to Datang for cultivation, it will not be a problem for Datang to increase grain production over time."
