Li Zhi glanced sideways at Empress Wu, and the two looked at each other, with a tacit understanding in their eyes.

Turning around, Li Zhi looked at Li Xian, who was standing on the side of the imperial case, shook his head slightly, and said instructively: "You have been in power for a long time now, and you need to understand that many things can't be rushed; For example, the matter of this waterwheel, once it is rashly promoted among Changluo, do you know who will be the first to be damaged? ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, he didn't understand for a while, why someone would be damaged when the waterwheel transported such a good thing.

Empress Wu saw that Li Xian didn't understand, so he broke through and said: "It's the people, it's the people between Weishui and Luoshui, the people who make a living by pulling fibers, and even by extension, there are hundreds of thousands of fibermen on the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Canal."

If you can't find a way out for these people in advance, then in the end it will be like the end of the Sui Dynasty, a large number of people have no food and clothing, and bandits are everywhere.

If you add the army to war, once you lose, it will immediately be a great chaos in the world. ”

Empress Wu's face was extremely serious, as if it was a great sin to build a waterwheel between Changluo for grain transportation.

"The people's power is only stable." Li Zhi looked at Li Xian and taught seriously: "If this matter is to be done, it is not a moment and a half, and it needs to be carried out at the right time.

This is the case in Hezhou, and the king of Nanchang did this between Hezhou and Kuozhou because the people here were seriously damaged in the autumn harvest because of the military grain transportation.

As soon as this is done, then the people will immediately return to their fields and ensure that this autumn harvest will be guaranteed, which is the right thing to do.

Heluo is like this, once it is implicated, one person, one family, one county, one state, all the way, until the world is in chaos. ”

Li Xian nodded solemnly, and then arched his hand: "Although Erchen didn't fully understand, he also knew that this matter needed to be cautious. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, that's the end of today, you can step down." ”

"Sons and daughters retire, father, mother!" Li Xian bowed heavily, and then retreated backwards and exited the Zichen Palace.

After watching Li Xian finally leave, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is still too young, he doesn't understand the danger of this person at all, he is thinking that this waterwheel can save a lot of labor, and he doesn't want to think about it, once this kind of thing is promoted, where will the court benefit." ”

"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Guo, the commander of Sosu, invented the waterwheel, and finally the waterwheel was widely used by the nobles of Chang'an, but the private waterway led the waterway, resulting in the decline of the water level of Weishui, the lack of water power, and the transportation of Changluo was blocked, and later, the emperor cut the princess of Pingyang one or two slaves on guard, and finally forced the princess of Pingyang to take the lead in demolishing the private waterwheel, and then the nobles followed suit, which made the waterwheel popular, and now it is really necessary to promote this matter, and the story must be repeated."

Empress Wu sighed lightly, but when she lowered her head, a ghostly light flashed in her eyes.

"Between Changluo, the water flow is shallow, the waterwheel is arranged too much, it is easy to run aground, there is not enough water power, it cannot be pulled at all, and there is very little usability." Li Zhi shook his head calmly and said, "Besides, once Changluo is too close, it is very easy to change. ”

Change, Li Zhi thinks, is more things.

In recent years, he set up the Eastern Capital, not only because of the difficulty of grain and salary transfer in the southeast, but also because of deeper calculations.

"This matter will always be pushed forward in the future, just take your time." Empress Wu pressed the back of Li Zhi's hand slightly and comforted him softly.

"Xian'er is not as smart as Twenty-Seven Lang, you see, he proposed that the use of water ropes is very easy to corrupt, and it is okay to use it for a short time, but not for a long time." Li Zhi smiled and said: "Whoever is willing to take out such a large amount of expenses, whoever is willing to take it will take it, anyway, the imperial court doesn't care." ”

Empress Wu nodded, King Nanchang did mention two sentences in the recital, the disadvantages of waterwheel transportation, but if you think about it carefully, it is somewhat strong.

Now in wartime, the reduced loss of military rations is used to make up for the cost of waterwheel transportation.

Once the war is over, then the cost of this waterwheel transportation will naturally be unbearable, and after a long time, it will naturally be abandoned.

The big family, pursue profits, let them invest and make profits, let them cost maintenance, I'm afraid not many people are willing

It can be seen that Li Xuan has never thought about letting this waterwheel exist for a long time, and such an idea also reassures Empress Wu.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, Guide, Henan, and Zeku have fallen into my hands one after another, and this camp side matter also needs to be put on the agenda." Empress Wu's expression became solemn.

"Those families." Li Zhi's gaze was a little faint, and he said softly: "If you don't give enough benefits to this matter, I'm afraid those families won't be easy to enter the game, colleagues, Guide, Henan, and Zeku are the four county orders, if they are given easily, I'm afraid that they will be transferred to other places when they turn around." ”

"Then let them pay first, camp first, and then give officials, as for the matter of transferring, it's okay to let them serve for the time being, after a long time, even the concubines don't worry that they can handle the county affairs, and then they can be transferred away if they want to, as long as they can satisfy the concubines, they can transfer anywhere." Empress Wu's face began to calm down.

The Longxi family, they need to invest first, and the imperial court will grant the position of the county order to the family with the greatest investment and is willing to take root in the four counties.

As for those who just want to get a cheap shot with a false shot, she doesn't welcome it yet.

"The Yuan family should give one, this is what was said in advance." Li Zhi nodded, the colleagues who have won it now, the credit of the Yuan family, is also the credit.

"Yes, with the Yuan family as an example, how much blood should be produced, those families will be counted, so that those families will be tied up in the land of Qingdong, and there will be much less interference with the court." When Empress Wu said this, she changed her words and said directly: "This matter will be handed over to the King of Nanchang for temporary handling, and the results will be submitted to Lanzhou for approval, and then submitted to it." ”

"Good!" Li Zhi nodded approvingly.

Taking a light breath, Li Zhi took out a secret book from the envelope, and then handed it to Empress Wu and said, "What should be said here is the matter of protecting Wuxizha in the eastern capital of Tubo and Qingdong." ”

"He's really good at finding trouble." Empress Wu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, shook her head, and then opened the secret book.

In the official transcript, Li Xuan did not mention that Usiza was a member of the Lu Concubine clan, but only said that Tubo Qingdong protected Usiza and had no hope of breaking through and finally committed suicide, but in the secret book, Li Xuan wrote the original events in detail.

After the disposal of the corpse, as well as the return of the Qinling, and even the return to the Tubo royal capital, the calculations in this are clearly written.

"Now it seems that in the Tubo Dynasty, the one who is connected with the Qinling Tomb should be this princess of Wulu." Empress Wu raised her head, looked at Li Zhi and said, "It is rumored that Mangsong Mangzan has several sons, but only Juniper Mangpojie, the son of Princess Wulu, is the youngest. ”

"Princess Wulu needs a son to stabilize her position, and Qinling needs a young king to be easy to manipulate, this is the overall situation of Tubo." Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Although Twenty-Seven Lang's idea is good, but now under the overall situation, Concubine Lu will not do anything to the Qin Ling." ”

"That's because Juniper Mangpoje is still young, and once he's older, it's hard to say." A faint hint flashed in Empress Wu's eyes.

On the Qin Tomb is the pillar of the Tubo country, if there is no Qin Tomb, then Tubo may not be able to support for a long time.

"That's going to be at least 10 years from now." Li Zhi's voice was a little low, he had always wanted to completely destroy Tibet and give Li Xian a stable and prosperous life, but now from all aspects, it is not so easy to exterminate Tibet.

"Then Your Majesty will live to ten years from now." Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi seriously, and said softly: "It's okay for others, Twenty-Seven Lang is definitely a person who can turn decay into magic, if he intervenes in His Majesty's diagnosis and treatment......"

"No, he's a clan after all." Li Zhi waved his hand directly and said, "It's okay to use it, and it's okay to go to Lingyan Pavilion, but it's definitely not okay to go to the pilgrimage to worship the prime minister." ”

The clan and the royal family are too deeply involved, and if one is not careful, he will immediately be involved in the seizure of the heir.

Li Zhi considered it this way, not only to protect the imperial family, but also to protect Li Xuan.

"Since Your Majesty has this idea, then let the Twenty-Seven Lang stay in Qingdong for a long time, and threaten the Wuhai sting at all times, and in the future, the Qinling will be handed over to the Twenty-seventh Lang to deal with for Your Majesty, Your Majesty can always rest assured." Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi gently, as if her words did not have the slightest murderous aura.

"Qingdong, set up a Xinzhou Assassin History, and then send those Dugu clans and Yuan clans all over." Li Zhi completely understood Empress Wu's thoughts in his heart.

Qingdong is going to be operated after all, and Li Xuan will definitely be sent to the border state to be a assassin in the future.

Youzhou in the north, south of the Turks, just like the Dingzhou assassination history of Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo.

Qingdong in the west can naturally do it, Li Xuan's ability is enough, and as he grows older, his wisdom and strategy will definitely not be inferior to that of Qinling.

At that time, even if he is gone, Li Xuan will still be able to defend this border state for him.

With this border state, the entire Qingdong, and even Lanshan Dao, will not get out of control.

Then, Li Zhi shook his head and said: "This matter is too early, Twenty-seven Lang has only been the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple for half a year now, and it is not a good thing to pull out the seedlings to help them grow too much." ”

After a slight pause, Li Zhi continued: "Wait for next year, wait for the front line to stabilize, and then consider letting him assassinate Shi." ”

"Good!" Empress Wu nodded slightly, and her eyes couldn't help relaxing.

Then she spoke again: "The matter of Henan and Zeku can be suspended, but the Guide Nile Lake must be taken as soon as possible, and now the Lanshan Dao army has entered the Nanshan Canyon, and once it rushes out of the canyon, it will immediately face the Tubo army, and the problem of food and grass will immediately emerge." ”

"Don't worry, you and I are not allowed to worry about this matter, wait until my colleagues stabilize themselves, then next, Yan Guogong, Twenty-Seven Lang, and the three of them will not be able to help but make a move, on Qinling, this time I mobilized many generals to gather in Qingdong, just to see, where do you want to break the situation?"

Li Zhi's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.

The defeat of Da Fei Chuan was the biggest hidden pain in his heart.

Even for a long time, it was not feasible for Xue Rengui to be transferred back to the court, on the surface, it seemed that the person who was blocking was the Empress Wu, but the person who really couldn't get over it in his heart was him.

If he did not defeat the Qinling, Li Zhi would never have transferred Xue Rengui back to the court.

Empress Wu nodded slightly, and then said in a low voice; "Now that two months have passed, the deputy envoy of Tubo should have returned to Luo, so it won't take a month or two for the news of the death of the Tubo lord to come, everything is really a coincidence!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and a smile suddenly bloomed involuntarily on his face.
