Chapter 499: Secretly discussed

Li Yong couldn't help but sigh, the eldest grandson Wuji, the old yin ratio, is really too good at things, no wonder he can rank first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other important ministers of the court also came out to express their support, even the big troll Wei Zheng also expressed his support, although Li Er's words were very euphemistic, but like the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other important ministers in the court are all human essences, and they have already tasted some internal taste, although they have experienced a big debate, But in the end, Li Yong's recital was successfully passed, Li Yong was not surprised at all, don't doubt Li Er's control over the court, and the establishment of the city division to go to sea has become the general trend after Li Yong's promotion, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Er's footsteps briskly returned to the Ganlu Palace, Li Yong did not leave the palace, but also turned around and went to the Ganlu Hall after a slight stop, Li Er couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the little eunuch's report, this has just dispersed the early dynasty, what else does Li Yong want to see? Li Er, who was in a good mood, leaned back and said with a smile.

"Let him in!"

Li Yong walked into the hall briskly, his eyes swept over Li Er, but he felt very speechless, because Li Er was actually crossing Erlang's legs, this is the Manna Palace! You're the Emperor! Li Er, can you still look like an emperor? Can you still be a little bit of a gentleman? If it was someone else who came in, Li Er wouldn't be so casual, but it was Li Yong who came in, Li Er felt that he didn't have to worry about anything, the last time he learned Li Yong to Erlang's legs in the side hall of the Liangyi Palace, it was a complete liberation of his characteristics, speechless to speechless, Li Yong still bowed down.

"Chen Li Yong meets the saint!"

Li Er looked at the look on Li Yong's face, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the smile on Li Yong's face was a little bright!

"Li Yong, are you happy because of the upcoming harvest ceremony, or are you happy because your proposal was successfully passed?"

Li Er said with a smile, since Li Yong returned to Chang'an, he has brought a lot of surprises to Li Er, and more importantly, he didn't do anything to make him frightened, arranging him and the important ministers of the court is nothing to Li Er, it's just a trivial matter, Li Yong shook his head with a smile.

"Back to the saints, it's not!"

Whether it is to set up a city company to go to sea or a bumper harvest, it is a logical thing, do you still need to be so happy? Li Er was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked in surprise.

"Oh? Do you have any good news to tell so-and-so? ”

Li Yong asked with a smile.

"I wonder if the saint still remembers Yuangai Suwen?"

Li Er couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said.

"Oh, I remembered, it's the envoy of Goguryeo! How? Is he in a high position in Goguryeo? Not so fast, right? ”

I have to say that Li Er's brain is really good, although he doesn't know how many political affairs he deals with every day, he still remembers the little things about Li Yong and Yuan Gai Suwen clearly, Li Yong smiled.

"After Yuangai Suwen returned to Goguryeo, he really rose to prominence, of course, he was not a monopoly on power, but he recently sent a letter to his ministers."

For Li Yong to help Yuan Gai Suwen at the beginning, wanting Yuan Gai Suwen to make trouble in Goguryeo in the future, Li Er did not have much hope, but Li Yong mentioned Yuan Gai Suwen again, and he was so happy, is there any nervousness? Could it be that Yuan Gai Suwen is going to make trouble now? Looking for help? But he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can't reach it! The king of Goguryeo has always been very wary of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er asked curiously.

"What's on the letter?"

Li Yong explained with a smile.

"He wanted to lead his troops to attack Silla in order to accumulate merit and gain power, but the king of Goguryeo was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would interfere, so he never agreed, and Yuangai Suwen wrote to me, asking me to help him so that the saint would not interfere with Goguryeo's attack on Silla."

Li Er couldn't help frowning when he heard this, because Silla did not border with the Tang Dynasty and had a feud with Goguryeo, he had always maintained a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and he was regarded as a hardcore subject country of the Tang Dynasty, if Goguryeo wanted to attack Silla, wouldn't it challenge the authority of the Tang Dynasty? As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog! Li Er frowned and asked.

"So, you want to persuade me not to intervene in the war between Goguryeo and Silla?"

Li Yong shook his head and smiled.

"Of course not!"

Li Er asked suspiciously.

"So you refused? Didn't you want to help him on top of Goguryeo? ”

Li Yong did have this plan before, but isn't this a plan that can't keep up with the rapid change? He didn't expect Yuan Gai Suwen to swell so fast! Li Yong shook his head and smiled.

Of course the minister didn't refuse, the minister replied to him, telling him to let go of his hands and feet and do it, don't worry! It's all with me! ”

Li Er was speechless when he heard this, you are simply a pit and a dead person! It's just too bad, Li Yong asked with a smile.

"Sage, do you think Silla can stop Goguryeo's attack?"

Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Goguryeo is located in a bitter cold land, so the people are fierce, and the polemic power is not comparable to Silla, if the Yuangai Suwen you are talking about is really a general, then Silla cannot be an opponent at all!"

Li Yong was very sure.

"Yuangai Suwen is indeed a great general, very powerful, in this way, Silla will definitely be beaten very badly, then Silla will definitely come to Datang for help! Sage! ”

In fact, Li Er, who has always taken the conquest of Goryeo as his lifelong dream, immediately stood up directly excitedly, although he did not jump up so exaggeratedly, but Li Er's face was flushed with excitement at this moment, which shows how excited he is in his heart, in fact, Li Er does not want to conquer Goryeo all the time, he feels that it is no problem to conquer Goguryeo with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, but he has no reason to send troops! Not to mention that the division is nameless, once he proposes to conquer Goryeo, everyone in the entire court will oppose it, not to mention Wei Zheng's big troll, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Xu Shiji, Changsun Wuji, etc., all of them will oppose it, because the experience of the former Sui is too profound, but if Goguryeo attacks Silla, Silla can't resist coming to ask for help, then wouldn't the division be famous? It's like someone handing you a pillow when you're sleepy! Before, when Li Yong was busy with firearms supervision and other things, he took the time to invite Yuan Gai Suwen to visit the Qinglou and drink, which made him feel quite unhappy, he knew that Yuan Gai Suwen had such a great use, he would definitely let Li Yong take Yuan Gai Suwen to visit the Qinglou more to deepen the friendship. Li Er said excitedly.

"Yes, how could Silla resist Goguryeo's attack? So Silla will definitely come and send someone for help, Silla is a vassal state of a certain country, and has always been very deferential to the Tang Dynasty, how can a certain subject country tolerate a certain subject country being attacked by Goguryeo? ”

This is simply the reason for sending to the door to go to Goguryeo! Of course, he also knew that this would definitely cause great controversy in the court, but at least it was not a teacher, he told Li Yong about his dream, and he didn't expect Li Yong to bring him such a surprise, as well as that Yuan Gai Suwen, he wondered if it was an undercover agent sent by Li Yong to Goguryeo, Li Yong couldn't help muttering in his heart, what he said was high-sounding, you don't covet the land of Goguryeo? Not only the land of Goguryeo, Li Er should also want to conquer the glory of Goguryeo, after all, Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goryeo failed, Li Yong said with a smile.

"The sage is wise, if Goguryeo really attacks Silla, then my Datang really can't sit idly by, otherwise won't he have the reputation of the sage Tian Khan?"

Li Er nodded happily.

"You're right, Silla has always been very deferential to a certain person, and with Silla containing Goguryeo, my Datang can always be worry-free, how can a certain let Goguryeo annex Silla and continue to grow bigger!"

Even if it wasn't for Silla, for the Tang Dynasty, and for his dreams, he couldn't tolerate Goguryeo's annexation of Silla, but when he thought of those civil officials in the court, it was Wei Zheng's big troll, and Li Er felt a headache again.

"However, even if Silla comes to ask for help, I am afraid that the court's ministers will oppose sending troops."

Li Er had a headache and said, while talking and glanced at Li Yong, now Li Yong's influence in the court is not small at all, especially his contacts are also very wide, and his impression among civil officials is also very good, even Wei Zheng, the big troll, is full of praise for Li Yong, so in Li Er's eyes, Li Yong is simply the main force that will support him at that time, Li Yong nodded and said.

"Well, that's what the sage said!"

In fact, how could Li Yong not understand Li Er's thoughts, the problem is that you Li Er are so far away from Wei Da Troll, and I am still afraid of being sprayed by Wei Da Troll! Li Er was speechless when he heard it, how could he not hear what he meant with Li Yong's cleverness, this kid was clearly slippery.

"Li Yong, I'm very worried! Don't you want to help someone? ”

Li Er asked, Li Yong thought in his heart, of course, he didn't want to at all, although he said that the food of the king was worried about the king, but am I, Li Yong, a person who is poor in money? That bit of money is negligible to Li Yong, and Li Yong cares about him.

"The sage is thinking too far, Goguryeo hasn't attacked Silla yet! Silla hasn't come to ask for help yet! ”

Li Er paced excitedly in the hall and waved his hand.

"Then so-and-so should also prepare in advance!"

In fact, Li Er has been preparing for the expedition to Goryeo, Li Yong asked in a deep voice.

"What do you think is the biggest problem facing the sage in the conquest of Goryeo?"

Of course, the teacher is unknown, this is the biggest problem in Li Er's heart, but now this problem is about to be solved, and it is about to be solved by Li Yong, so what is Li Yong asking? Li Er couldn't help but think about it, now he has a division of a hundred battles, abundant grain and grass, and also a siege weapon like artillery, Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked.

"What do you think is the biggest problem?"

Li Yong said seriously.

"Bitter cold! Once it's winter, it's too cold! ”

Li Er couldn't help frowning and nodding when he heard this, there were indeed a lot of soldiers in Goryeo who were frostbitten and frozen to death before the Sui Eastern Expedition, and then Li Er suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but light up.

"Aren't there white stacked flowers now?"

Li Yong couldn't help nodding and said seriously.

"That's what the minister wants to say, if the saint is preparing for the Eastern Crusade, please also ask the saint to prepare cotton clothes for the soldiers, that place is really too cold in winter, if there are no cotton clothes, I'm afraid there will really be large-scale frostbite."

If there is no cotton, there is really no way, but now that there is cotton, then Li Yong can't bear to see the soldiers who went out on the battlefield not die on the battlefield, but die in the cold, Li Erzheng said.

"Of course, since there are white stacked flowers to keep out the cold, how can a certain soldier suffer from the cold?"

Li Yong groaned.

"Next year's white stacked flowers will not be harvested until autumn, and then made into cotton clothes, and then transported to Liaodong, I am afraid it will be too late."

Li Er couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard it, what should I do? Storing this year's harvest in the warehouse for next year's use? Both the government and the opposition are staring at the white stacked tweed! When the time comes, the big trolls and small trolls in the middle of the court will not be able to play together? Even if he is the emperor, he is afraid of being sprayed! Waiting for next year's Bai Diehua, it is indeed too late in time, can't you tell the Manchu Dynasty that he plans to go to Goryeo next year? The big trolls and small trolls of the Manchu Dynasty will spray even more, just when Li Er has a headache, Li Yong is calculating, how can an acre of cotton produce a few hundred catties, right? You must know that the fields that Li Er took out to try to plant cotton are all good fields! How much cotton do I need for a set of cotton clothes? This Li Yong doesn't know, but it can't be heavy, otherwise he won't be tired to death? So how can you get dozens or hundreds of sets of cotton clothes from one acre of cotton? 10,000 acres of land, that is, tens of millions of sets of cotton clothes, take out a small half is enough, Li Er was still pacing in the hall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Yong standing there leisurely, this kid threw out the problem, this kid didn't have the heart and lungs, Li Er didn't have a good airway.

"You kid just look at a certain headache?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Sage, the minister just roughly calculated, one acre of cotton, at least can make sixty or seventy sets of cotton clothes, more than hundreds of sets of cotton clothes, 10,000 acres of land, that is, hundreds of thousands of millions of sets of cotton clothes, the sage can take out a part of it to reward the soldiers."

Millions of cotton clothes? Li Er instantly understood when he heard it, although he knew that 10,000 acres of white stacked flowers were harvested, but he didn't expect that he could make millions of sets of cotton clothes, with these 10,000 sets of cotton clothes, what the hell are you afraid of? Li Er instantly felt that his waist bag was also bulging, and his waist pole was also straight, what made Li Er feel most comfortable was that corn was made of flowers, and the seeds would not be used, and they could continue to be planted tomorrow, it was perfect, a million sets of cotton clothes! Li Er couldn't help but think about it in his heart, he naturally understood what Li Yong meant, since he could make so many cotton clothes, then take out some cotton clothes to reward the soldiers in the past, it didn't take a lot, two or three hundred thousand sets of cotton clothes were more than enough, then he had to think about it, if it was really an eastward crusade, he would have to transfer those troops.
