This trip is the first time that Liu Fan has gone out in the Tang Dynasty in the real sense, and it is a cross-border trip, and the more important thing is to travel in a hurry like being chased by a dog, the mood is somewhat complicated, and there is no excitement, but Wang Xuance is very excited, after seeing the news that Tang Jian closed his eyes, Wang Xuance also began to study in a good way, this time Wang Xuance's goal is to imitate Tang Jian's way of talking, and then surpass Tang Jian.

didn't say goodbye to Li Jinxi, didn't say goodbye to his father and sister, didn't say goodbye to Liu Ren of Li Yifu, didn't explain the development of the village, didn't explain the development of the school, and didn't even know what kind of state Lin Hao was in when he came back from doing everything and found that he was gone.

Liu Fan was actually in a state of confusion, but his intuition told him that it was the right thing to leave Chang'an City now, no matter what others were, at least for himself at present, Tang Jian could be regarded as helping himself once, and he was directly fished out of the fire pit, otherwise, according to what he did today, I am afraid that he has offended some people.

The light car is simple, two carriages, Liu Fan's troops are fifteen, Tang Jian is much more magnificent, there is enough to have a group of troops, that is, a team of fifty people, these people are all dressed in rattan armor, one person and one bow, with thirty arrows and a Hulu quiver, and at the same time there is a horizontal knife and whetstone, felt hat, stone cone, etc., which can be said to be fully equipped.

As for the mule carts carrying gifts, there were more than a dozen of them, plus the people who were recruited, and the party also had three or four hundred people.

During the dinner in the evening, Liu Fan looked ahead with some concern, he had already left Chang'an City at the moment, and he didn't know where he stopped, Tang Jian said that it was Fengtian, and then walked from Fengtian to Huai'an, from Huai'an to Huaiyuan City, and then from Huaiyuan City to Yongfeng by boat, and then Yongfeng went to the Turks.

The distance between the front and back is not far, and according to Tang Jian's words, one month is enough to reach the Turkic tent.

Liu Fan eats better, mainly because it is still relatively close to Chang'an City, the core of the empire, so there is no shortage of materials, Liu Fan specially made braised pork for the big guy, although there are so many people, he still eats two whole pigs.

When he is free, Tang Jian likes to talk about some gossip in the army, for example, there are some veterans who like to bring some cows or strong women when they go out on the battlefield, and then go down the battlefield to have a relationship with cows or strong women, so as to relieve the anxiety and depression of the battlefield, which is a military behavior, and will not be said anything.

This made Liu Fan think of Hou Junji, this old guy would order the slaughter of the city in the future, otherwise he would be able to enjoy his old age in peace, but it was a pity that he was angry and resentful, and he participated in the rebellion and did not end well.

The snow had already stopped, and Tang Jian leaned against the fire and muttered: "This time we go to the Turks, in fact, we may not be able to come back alive, it may not be fair to you!" ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "My title is cheap, since there is a need for the kid to follow your uncle on a mission, no one will say anything when he goes back, but it is a good thing!" ”

Tang Jian waved his hand and said: "Your salt-making method or Zhenguan plough and horseshoe are all comparable to the existence of war exploits for the Tang Dynasty, and you must not be arrogant, but the old man has a sentence that has been held in his heart for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to say it to you!" ”

Liu Fan immediately put on a proper posture and asked, "You say!" ”

"Boy, what do you think of the Xungui family?" Tang Jian said with a fascination.

Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Whether it is a noble or a family, the existence is reasonable, if you ask me what to think, in fact, the kid thinks that whether it is a noble or a family, it is actually possible to develop benignly, but it must be controlled, if it is not controlled, even if Your Majesty does not make a move in the future, the next emperor will also make a move, because this world is Your Majesty's world, not Xungui or the family!" ”

Tang Jian frowned and said: "But you have to think about one question clearly, whether we are old guys or families, we have all contributed our lives, wealth, etc. to Datang, and the fundamental reason for doing all this is to hope that our descendants can be rich and glorious for a hundred generations!" ”

"The consideration is so, but there is one thing that is not considered, that is, after a few hundred years of being a family, will the people of his territory still know that the master of the world is His Majesty?"

Tang Jian looked at the fire and didn't speak again, and only after a moment did he say faintly, "Do you know why I asked you this question?" ”

Liu Fan shook his head. Tang Jian said: "Because you will also become a family, the development of Linjia Village has made us see a certain possibility, no one who can be the head of the family is a fool, and when the Turks are pacified, Your Majesty will begin to clean up all the uncontrollable factors in the entire Tang Dynasty, rabbits and dogs are cooking, this can't be avoided, but I don't know if Your Majesty will do that!" ”

Tang Jian stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early!" ”

The slightly contradictory conversation ended, but Liu Fan didn't fall asleep immediately, in fact, in Liu Fan's opinion, the nobles of the family actually can't jump for too long, maybe they can still enjoy the glory and wealth now, but what kind of emperor does Li Shimin want to be? That is to see the characters of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and even the characters who want to surpass them, and the nobles of the family are the major tumors of whether the Tang Dynasty can become prosperous in the future, only by solving such a tumor for the descendants, the descendants of future generations will not suffer in this.

After all, the size of the nobles of the family is too big, and now the Tang Dynasty is considered to be the opening of the dynasty, and everything is floating on the surface, and in more than ten years, the entire court will be controlled by the nobles of the family, and the imperial power will be further restricted at that time, and there will be the prestige of the lord of the world.

Liu Fan didn't want any turmoil in the imperial power at all, and even hoped that the Li family could really sit firm for thousands of years, but his own ideas and the family's ideas were completely different, he wanted to keep the imperial power in a cage, and the family wanted to share a part of the rights and then use it for himself.

No one is right or wrong, they are all doing it for their own interests, so how to transfer this contradiction in the coming days, Liu Fan is doing this, broadening overseas horizons, in fact, is the only way at present, let Datang's eyes look overseas, where there are countless land and manpower, and there is inexhaustible wealth.

The domestic contradictions have been transferred, how do you care about the lives of foreigners, capital can only grow up by plundering, and so is Datang, what does it mean to be a heavenly kingdom all the time, there is no resistance to fighting left and right, but as long as you go out, Datang's iron cavalry can fight in all directions, so that Datang can maintain efficient operation in the territory, and the wealth brought back can make the people of Datang live better, and not all die in internal friction.
