Chapter 13: Isn't it okay to fight Goguryeo!

Since he affirmed Qin Fan's vision, Li Er was able to ask him for advice with confidence.

"Brother Qin, you said before that the people of the snow disaster should go to find the Son of Heaven."

"Not bad." Qin Fan did not deny it.

"As you just said, what a great and majestic the Holy One is today. But he couldn't solve the problem of the snow disaster. If you were the emperor, what would you do? ”

After that, Li Er looked at Qin Fan expectantly, hoping that he could give a clever plan to calm the people.

"If I'm emperor?"

"Not bad!"

"All the supplies in the four seas are for my use?"

"That's right, it's up to you!"

Qin Fan was also arrogant: "That's not easy!" ”

"The first step is to suppress the gentry and force them to spit out food to help the victims."

"The second step is to gather troops and horses and prepare to go to battle!"

"Step 3......"

"Wait, wait!" Li Er regretted these questions he asked.

Sure enough, my expectations are too high!

But thinking of Qin Fan's previous affirmations of himself, he still said patiently: "Brother Qin, you have never been an emperor, so you don't know. The gentry themselves did not have much to spare. And they are powerful, even the emperor is not easy to offend them. ”

When Qin Fan heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "The landlord's family has no surplus grain?" ”

"Under the snow disaster, the whole world is harmed, how can there be any extra grain and grass!" Li Er thought of the disaster reports from various places, and he couldn't help but feel relatives.

Qin Fan said with a smile: "I said two old brothers, you are a businessman along the way, haven't you seen the rich and powerful merchants hoarding, buying grain at a low price, and selling it at a high price?" ”

Li Er couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Where are the two of them, what kind of businessman!

But hoarding grain and grass......

"Is there such a thing? They dare to make a fortune! ”

Not only did he not know the two dirt buns in front of him, but he didn't even know much about the specific situation of the snow disaster, so he came to the county Yaxing Master to ask about the crime, Qin Fan was also speechless for a while, so he had to explain:

"Before the disaster, the price of grain was four or five cents of rice, but now it is ten times as much as it was at the beginning."

"Fifty percent of the profit can make the businessman take risks; Ten percent of the profits, they are willing to trample on the law for this; If it is a triple benefit, they dare to break any law, bear any responsibility, and even risk their heads. And now ......"

"Dozens of times the profit ......" Li Shimin has already realized in his heart, such huge profits, it is no wonder that those people have lost their conscience, and even do not care about the lives of the people.

Thinking that he didn't think about tea and dinner these days, and what gentry were behind his daily worries and aggravated the disaster, Li Er was so angry that his teeth itched, and he couldn't wait to be able to eat his flesh and blood.

Thinking of the mountain in front of him, Li Er still had a relative, and couldn't help but say: "Having said that, behind those people are the five surnames and seven hopes, and if you want to suppress it, it's not easy to talk about it!" ”

When Qin Fan saw Li Er's sluggish appearance, he couldn't help but hate iron for a while.

Although he is also surnamed Li, the Boss Li in front of him really can't be compared with that generation of heroes.

"Isn't that easier said than done? Don't you do it because it's hard? The five surnames are powerful, so what? If you don't suppress it, the other party will always be powerful! ”

"These families are parasitic on the Tang Dynasty, embezzling the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and encircling officials who should belong to the imperial court and should benefit the people. Suppressing talented people who don't listen to them is really a moth! ”

"For these moths, they should be suppressed by iron-blooded means, otherwise in the future, the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty will eventually decay under the erosion of these scum."

Qin Fan's words also aroused Li Er's ambition.

Li Er immediately said that when he went back, he would ask someone who could speak in the court to admonish and suppress the family.

But he got Qin Fan to look at a fool: "Your friend is really unlucky!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You yourself said that the family is powerful, and it is not appropriate to be tough. Your friend goes straight to A, I'm afraid I don't know how I will die in the future! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was not convinced at this time, aren't this kid's words inconsistent?

"You said that you want to rectify the family, and you say that you can't admonish and suppress, so what should you do?"

Qin Fan had long been accustomed to the eldest grandson Wuji raising the bar from time to time, and said directly: "This is simple. The front is not good, we can come from the side. It doesn't have to be fought hard by force, that's a reckless man's behavior. ”

Seeing Qin Fan's confident appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that the other party might have a good plan, so he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask Brother Qin to give me advice!" ”

Qin Fan saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was so solemn, but he was a little unaccustomed to it: "I can't talk about teaching." In this world, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Why not cultivate a force to fight it! ”

"That should ......"

"Ahem!"

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to ask again.

But Li Er stopped him in time.

Rectifying the family, is not in a hurry, since he knows that those wealthy gentry families have made a fortune, and punish them for the confidence and courage to spit out what they eat in their mouths, Li Er still has it.

As for uprooting it completely, it's not yet time.

Knowing too early is self-defeating.

Li knew this first step. But what about this second step? The heavy snow lasted for dozens of days, the people were exhausted, and it was also difficult to march in snowy days. ”

Seeing that Li Er turned the topic to the second step, Qin Fan also responded: "The goal of this army, I think the best one should be Goguryeo." As for the negative effects of heavy snowfall...... It's difficult for me to Datang, isn't it difficult for him to go Goguryeo? ”

Qin Fan's words made Li Er feel like an initiation.

Oh, yes! This heavy snow is not only falling in the Tang Dynasty, but also in Goguryeo!

Moreover, Goguryeo is close to the ocean, and the water vapor is moist, so this snow falls even more!

I just thought about dealing with internal worries before, but I didn't think that this was a good way to solve external troubles!

Moreover, the first step before suppressing the Haogin clan can also get enough grain, grass and cotton clothing, and make sufficient logistical preparations for the march of soldiers and horses!

Thinking of this, Li Er's heart suddenly fell back to his heart, and he only thought about the snow disaster and the conquest of Goguryeo, and he couldn't sit still.

There was no time to ask how the third step should be done, so Li Er offered his farewell.

hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Fan, and Li Er took the eldest grandson Wuji back to the palace.

At the same time, the decision in his heart became more and more firm.

Such talents should fellowship with me!

Seeing that the two of them came and went like the wind, leaving only a mess of cups and plates, Qianqian was also stunned.

While she was cleaning up the dishes, she stomped her feet and puffed out her cheeks:

"These two Diao people are good at being polite! It's okay to eat and drink for nothing, and even if you leave, you can't bear to bow and thank you! ”
