No wonder the emperor said that it would benefit the common people, this white stacked flower is really for the benefit of the common people! Wei Zheng was particularly excited when he heard it, he knew the suffering of the people, and knew the miserable situation of the poor people every winter, but he was powerless to change anything, but now there are white stacked flowers, Li Yong found the role of white stacked flowers to keep warm, once it spreads, the people don't have to be afraid of freezing in winter, there are Zhenguan rice, corn and other grains before, and now there are white stacked flowers, from then on the people can eat enough and wear warm, who could have thought before? Zhenguan rice has begun to prepare for extensive trial planting, as long as it is successful, next year will almost be able to promote to the entire south, it is conceivable that next year's rice production will increase greatly, and the trial planting of corn is the same, he ran to the corn field again and again to check, saw the fruitful corn, he was so excited that he almost did not faint, and now there are white stacked flowers, and so on Zhenguan rice, corn, white stacked flowers are promoted, what kind of prosperous situation will it be? What an unprecedented prosperity! Wei Zheng was very excited, and there were even tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and Li Jing exclaimed at this time.

"Sure enough, it is for the benefit of the common people, with this white stacked flowers, with Zhenguan rice and corn, there is no hunger in the world, this is a prosperous era that has never been seen in ancient times!"

"This is God bless Datang! God bless the saints! ”

"Haha, Li Yong's contribution is indispensable!"

Li Xiaogong slapped his thigh and shouted.

"Oh, the minister is confused, the white stacked flowers are planted in the minister's garden, the minister doesn't know that the white stacked flowers still have such an effect, thanks to Li Yong who saw it, otherwise the minister may have eradicated the white stacked flowers, and the minister's sin will be great!"

Xu Shiji said with a smile.

"I don't blame you, who would have thought that white stacked flowers still have the effect of keeping warm? Li Yong's head is bright, and he can think of it. ”

Everyone praised again and again, and after a fart, Li Erlong was happy and smiled.

"There was a letter to impeach Li Yong before, but how could they know that Li Yong's heavy reward for Bai Diehua was for the seeds of Bai Diehua and for the benefit of the people!"

Wei Zheng immediately bowed down and said.

"The old minister also impeached Li Yong, and now it seems that the old minister was wrong, the old minister didn't expect that the Huating Hou heavy reward was actually for the benefit of the people, ashamed and ashamed!"

After saying that, Wei Zheng bowed to Li Yong again.

"Hua Tinghou, I misunderstood."

Li Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Why should Lord Wei be like this, I can't afford it."

Wei Zheng said sincerely.

"Huating Hou can afford it, Huating Hou first found Zhenguan rice and corn grain seeds, and now found a white stack of flowers that can keep warm, since then there is no hunger and cold in the world, for the benefit of all people, and the merits of Huating Hou are unparalleled in the world!"

Li Yong heard this and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Lord Wei is overrated, I don't dare to be, I really don't dare to be."

Li Erlang said with a laugh.

"Wei Zheng has always been known for his integrity, he said that you deserve it, that is deserved!"

Xu Shiji also smiled.

"Li Yong does have great merits in the world!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Sage Shengming, inspired by God, this is why a talent like Li Yong came into the world, it can be seen that God blesses the Tang Dynasty!"

The atmosphere in the hall was very warm, everyone laughed, they all tried the coarse cloth jacket, all sighed, after trying it in person, everyone really felt the value of the white stacked flowers, which is also the reason why Li Yong insisted on making a cotton jacket, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand are not as intuitive as letting Li Er and others try it in person, and after laughing, Li Er's face showed a look of regret.

"It's a pity that Li Yong only has twenty-seven white stacked flowers in his hands, and if he wants to spread the white stacked flowers, he doesn't know if he will get the year of the monkey.

If you don't know the effect of white stacked flowers to keep warm, everyone doesn't think so, now that you know the effect of white stacked flowers to keep warm, and then think of the people and the soldiers on the border shivering in the cold wind, I feel very bad in my heart, the excited look on everyone's faces gradually faded, and their faces became solemn, relying on the twenty-seven white stacked flowers in Li Yong's hands to spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know what about the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue, Li Er continued to say in a deep voice.

"Fortunately, Li Yong got a message when he was offering a reward for white stacked flowers, and the Western Regions Gaochang Kingdom is full of white stacked flowers."

Wei Zheng bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also found out that white stacked flowers are extremely common in Gaochang Kingdom, because they have no use, so they are not taken seriously, so they have not spread."

Li Er couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Sure enough, Gaochang Country is rich in white stacked flowers!"

It was only at this time that everyone understood why the emperor gathered so many people together, it turned out that he wanted to obtain the white stacked flower seeds of Gaochang Kingdom, which was the rhythm of preparing to rob! Among the people, the one who knows Li Er the most is the eldest grandson Wuji, his eyes turned to Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, Li Xiaogong and others and suddenly understood, this time the emperor summoned so many people at once, most of them are old killers in the army, isn't this purpose obvious? The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but laugh.

"Gao Changguo has only paid tribute once and there is no news, I heard that Gao Changguo and the Turkic remnants in the west are colluding together, it is likely to be unfavorable to my Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say this, everyone no longer understood that it was stupid, and the old handsome Li Jing was the first to keep up with the rhythm, and he said in a deep voice.

"The deterrence of annihilating the Turks has now gradually subsided, and the countries of the Western Regions are ready to move, especially the remnants of the Western Turks, after the loss of the Turkic royal court, they are even more ambitious, but the remnants of my Tang Dynasty are still there, if we attack Gaochang at this time, the Western Turks will not dare to rescue, and we can cut their wings and deter the Western Regions!"

Cheng Yanjin said loudly.

"That's right, I've long seen that Gaochangguo is not pleasing to the eye, and I even have eyebrows with those remnants of the Western Turks, it's not a good thing at first glance, and the minister asks for an order to lead the troops to destroy Gaochangguo, and see who dares to jump in the Western Regions!"

The atmosphere in the hall was ignited all of a sudden, and everyone counted the sins of Gao Changguo one by one, as if Gao Changguo had committed countless sins, Li Yong was already stupid on the side, he had been thinking about how to send a caravan to Gao Changguo to buy seeds, or let Li Er send an envoy to greet Gao Changguo, or exchange or buy, and transport some seeds back to China, but he never thought that Li Shimin would send a large army to directly destroy Gao Changguo, this operation was really too fierce, too unexpected for Li Yong, he was even a little ashamed, It's just a vain traversal, in fact, what Li Yong doesn't know is that Gao Changguo and the Western Turks colluded together, which made Li Er vigilant, but after all, Gao Changguo and the Western Turks have not made any moves, so Li Er has not yet made up his mind to conquer Gao Changguo, but after knowing that the territory of Gaochang Kingdom is rich in white stacked flowers, Li Er immediately made up his mind. It can not only harvest the seeds of white stacked flowers, but also deter the Western Regions, and sending troops to Gaochangguo is killing two birds with one stone, so Li Jing and other generals are very much in favor of sending troops, even the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling all spoke up to agree with sending troops to Gaochangguo, the only one who has not yet opened his mouth is Wei Zheng, Li Yong's eyes can't help but fall on Wei Zheng, Old Man Wei is a big troll who is not afraid of heaven and earth, should he be angry with Li Er at this time, right? In fact, Wei Zheng understood the emperor's intention when he heard the eldest grandson Wuji speak, the emperor wanted to send troops to attack Gaochangguo, at this time Wei Zheng was very conflicted, from the heart he was against attacking Gaochangguo, first, the division was nameless, and secondly, the war was to die, and the people were lost, but the emperor sent troops to Gaochangguo in order to obtain the seeds of the white stacked flowers, and the seeds of the white stacked flowers were obtained so that the people would no longer be frozen in winter, on the one hand, the Gaochang country suffered, on the other hand, the people were no longer frozen? How to choose? Not only did Li Yong notice that Wei Zheng hadn't spoken, but Li Er also noticed it, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wei Zheng and asked with a smile.

"Wei Zheng, what do you think?"

Wei Zheng bowed and replied.

"The minister also thinks that sending troops to Gaochangguo is killing two birds with one stone!"

Li Er couldn't help but smile when he heard this, although Wei Zheng often made direct admonitions, but he also really loved the people like a son, since even Wei Zheng agreed to send troops, then no one in the Manchu Dynasty civil and military should object, Li Er nodded and said.

"You are right, the Western Regions has always been a big threat to my Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty exterminated the Turks, and the entire Western Regions has stopped, but with the passage of time, their awe of my Tang Dynasty is gradually fading, the Western Turks are even more ready to move, there is a great expansion posture, Gaochang Kingdom is attached to the Western Turks, if our Tang Dynasty is left alone, then under the coercion and temptation of the Western Turks, other small tribes will definitely follow suit, Gaochang State has been enshrined as a heavenly khan, but also attached to the Western Turks, it is a country that does not vassal, and a certain is determined to send troops to recruit Gaochang State, To deter the Western Regions! ”

The emperor has decided to send troops to conquer Gaochangguo, so the next question is who to send to the expedition, Cheng Yanjin said first.

"Sage, the minister is willing to lead the army to recruit Gao Changguo, and he will definitely live up to the expectations of the sage!"

"I am willing to lead the troops and share the worries of the saints!"

"I am willing to lead the troops and share the worries of the saints!"

Cheng Yanjin and others were not to be left behind, and they asked to lead the troops to go to the battle, even Li Jing, who had retired, asked to lead the troops to the battle, although he knew that it was impossible for the sage to send him to the battle, because his merit was already big enough, and he had already sent a soldier, and he would definitely not need him to go out to fight against Gao Changguo, Li Yong stayed aside and was very honest, if he wanted to say that he could still recommend himself when he went to Gao Changguo to do business, but the thing of leading the troops was still forgotten, and it was just a matter of training the soldiers, and he really had no interest in being the commander of the first army to lead the troops to the battle, The main thing is that the army of the Tang Dynasty is compared with the Xishan battalion, which is too second, Li Er said with a smile.

"You have all fought all your life, and I can't bear to let you go around to fight again, and you still need a general to sit on the border to deter the Western Turks and prevent the Western Turks from sending troops, so the burden of sending troops to Gaochangguo will be handed over to Hou Junji."

In the main hall, except for Li Yong, Hou Junji is indeed the youngest, and Li Er also intends to cultivate Hou Junji, Hou Junji said respectfully.

"The minister will live up to the trust of the saint, and this battle will definitely raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and destroy the Gaochang Kingdom!"

Li Er asked.

"Hou Junji, do you know what is most important in this expedition?"

Why did the emperor suddenly make up his mind to send troops to Gaochangguo? Everyone's hearts were like mirrors, and of course Hou Junji understood, so he hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"The minister will never leave a white flower seed to Gao Changguo."

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said.

"This expedition, other trophies don't matter, the more seeds of the white stacked flowers, the better, so that the white stacked flowers will bloom in every corner of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible!"

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

"In the future, there will be no Gaochang Kingdom, it is all the territory of our Datang, but the seeds of the white stacked flowers are still the most suitable to be planted on the land of our Central Plains."

"This expedition, the soldiers are not much more expensive, Hou Junji, how many troops do you think are needed?"

Li Er asked, Hou Junji pondered for a moment, then bowed down and replied.

"Qi Qi Sage, the minister thinks that 30,000 troops are enough!"

Li Jing and the others also nodded when they heard this, the 30,000 army is no more, no less, the most secure, this expedition is an expedition of labor divisions, the more troops the better, the 30,000 army will not cause too much pressure on logistics, and can exert great combat power, it can be said that in the face of the Western Turks, they can protect themselves, and even be worthy of a war, Li Er nodded and said.

"Okay, you are ordered to be the general manager of the Jiaohe River march, lead 30,000 troops to Gaochang Kingdom, and send 1,000 musketeers to accompany the army."

Everyone couldn't help but light up when they heard this, are the musketeers finally going to the battlefield? For a while, everyone was a little itchy, they knew that there were musketeers with the army, they should have pleaded and pleaded just now! Hou Junji's eyes lit up when he heard it, he was also extremely interested in muskets, and he had long wanted to try the power of muskets on the battlefield, but he didn't expect the emperor to specially transfer musketeers to accompany the army, but it was reasonable to think about it, after all, muskets have not yet withstood the test of the battlefield, and the battlefield is the touchstone of the test.

"Minister, thank you, saint!"

Hou Junji said excitedly.

Li Er explained.

"The musket is a new weapon, it has never been used on the battlefield, how to use the musketeer on the battlefield, you must think more and be cautious!"

Hou Junji hurriedly replied.

"The saint can rest assured, the minister knows, the minister will carefully test, carefully figure out, summarize the experience of using the musket, and truthfully report to the saint!"

Li Yong stood aside and couldn't help licking his lips, he didn't expect him to go out with the army, although he was a little reluctant to go to Changle and Wu Cao for a few rounds just now, but it was still interesting to think of being able to witness the musket shine on the battlefield for the first time in the Tang Army.

"Li Yong!"

Hearing Li Er calling him, Li Yong hurriedly responded.

"Rest assured, the minister will strictly obey General Hou's orders, and will never let the musketeers lose face."

"I didn't let you go with the army."

Li Er said angrily, if Li Yong was asked to go out with the army before, it would be fine, after all, Li Yong is most familiar with muskets, and the Shenji Battalion was also trained by Li Yong, and Li Yong is also familiar with Bai Diehua. But not long after Li Yong had a round house with his daughter, let Li Yong go out with the army? Even if Li Yong took the initiative to ask Ying, Li Er didn't dare to agree, otherwise how would the queen pass that pass? What should I do if Changle comes to the palace to cry? Li Yong was slightly stunned.

"Huh? Won't the minister go out with the army? ”

Li Er said with a smile.

"It's good that you have this heart, but the Shenji Battalion still has to be trained, and the firearms supervisor can't relax, you still have a heavy burden on you, and you have to stay in Chang'an, so let Su Dingfang take a thousand musketeers to go out with the army!"
