Xiaopang was busy with official business, and after eating and drinking, he said goodbye and left, and the two continued.

Li Qing added a glass of wine for Li Jinglong, and asked with a smile: "Don't you quarrel with Lan Yu now?" ”

"He's that age, and I'm still arguing with him." Li Jinglong pouted, "I don't have the same knowledge as old people. ”

Li Qing nodded amusedly.

In the evening, the two broke up.

Before leaving, Li Jinglong said, "If you want to open up everything, there is no more than you, and there is no more than you, many things can not be changed by individuals, and you are not young anymore, there is nothing wrong with enjoying life." ”

"Of course I understand." Li Qing quipped, "It's you, who looks depressed all day long." ”

"Oh? Haha......" Li Jinglong laughed, his smile full of helplessness, "Let's go, I'll talk about it another day." ”

……

Li Qing spent a few days at home in his free time, during which he conceived the idea, drew pictures with mercy, and made a beautiful head covering for him.

The headgear is delicate, it doesn't look bulky, and it doesn't feel stuffy to wear.

They are very attentive and thoughtful, and wearing them does not affect eating and drinking at all, Li Qing is very satisfied.

After two more days of idleness, Li Qing went to the morning normally.

At the court meeting, Li Qing's appearance attracted the attention of the ministers, but they also vaguely heard the wind and knew that this middle-aged beautiful man had broken his appearance.

are all scene people, no one will reveal scars in public, Li Qing's hood debut did not cause a sensation.

In fact, he himself is also very satisfied, and he will not have to wear makeup in the future, which saves a lot of trouble.

After the afternoon dynasty dispersed, Li Qing was summoned to the Qianqing Palace, saw that Daoyan was also there, and greeted him with a smile: "Old monk, you are still alive...... Are you okay? ”

Dao Yan's face was full of black lines, and he didn't have a good airway, "It's not a problem to live for a few more years." ”

"Sit down." Zhu Di pointed to the chair on the side, "I called you here today to discuss with you the strategic deployment of the Northern Expedition." ”

After a pause, "I am ready to use all my troops against the Tatars, Warat, and Uliangha at the same time. ”

"The emperor thinks twice." Both shook their heads at the same time.

Zhu Di was not surprised, and said, "Tell me the reason." ”

"Yongqing Hou will say it first." Dao Yan is reserved.

Li Qing was also not polite, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only fighting Tatar and Warat is enough, and the power of Uliangha is too weak, so there is no need to deal with them in a big way. ”

"No." Dao Yan shook his head and said, "In the opinion of the ministers, just fight the Tatars;

The Tatars were orthodox in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and their appeal in the steppes was great, and it was necessary to fight them, but there was no need for Warat, because their power was not as strong as that of the Tatars;

Moreover, as soon as the Tatars are frustrated, they will inevitably counterattack the Tatars, and they can invisibly contribute to us, not to mention that they are already willing to pay tribute, and we should not do anything to them. ”

Dao Yan advised: "It is the best policy to let the grassland reach a balance of power and make it continue to have internal strife. ”

"Warat is not to be underestimated." Li Qingzheng said, "Your Majesty, once they are powerful, they will inevitably counterattack the Ming Dynasty." ”

"What?" Dao Yan smiled, "Tatar is strong to fight Tatar, and Warat is strong to fight Warat." ”

After a pause, "It is simply unrealistic for the Marquis of Yongqing to think of completing all the battles, and that will force the Tatar Warats to unite, wouldn't it help them unify?" ”

"I'm ......" Li Qing was speechless and muttered for a moment, "Then let's attack Tatar first, but I still think that Warat will also be attacked." ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, "I think it will save you trouble by letting them go together." ”

"The emperor thinks twice." Dao Yan's face was full of seriousness, "Once the emperor does that, it will inevitably make them accelerate their unification, which is really the next step." ”

Li Qing was silent.

Zhu Di also fell into deep thought, he still wanted to do it once and for all, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Dao Yan's suggestion was not unreasonable.

"Then come one by one!"

Zhu Di sighed and said, "I have already set up temporary granaries in several places outside the pass, so that the army can march faster, but ...... I don't think that's enough;

For a long time, the number of people in the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty did not exceed 150,000, and the supply was dragging its feet, and it took several months just to march, which greatly wasted time, giving the Yuan people time to prepare calmly and even retreat;

As the so-called soldiers are fast, you two have good brains, can you have a way? ”

Dao Yan shook his head, "It's okay for the minister to come up with an idea, but it's not good at fighting the war itself, and the Marquis of Yongqing should have a way." ”

Li Qing glanced at Dao Yan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, for a long time, the transportation of supplies has been centralized transportation by large carts, and at the last moment, it is handed over to the army.

In addition, the big car will be changed to a small car, this time, if it is not good to walk, it will not delay the march because of supplies, but ...... The cost will also be greater. ”

"Money is not an issue." Zhu Di said, "Three months ago, Sanbao came back and brought a lot of benefits to the treasury, and now he has set off again, and he can bring back a lot of money in two years, which is not a small amount of money." ”

After a pause, "Still, I feel slow, is there a way for you to be faster?" ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "This is already the limit of manpower, no matter how fast you want to go, you can only use war horses, but that is used in war, in large quantities...... Hey, that's fine. ”

"What's the solution?" Zhu Di asked.

"Donkey!"

"The emperor can requisition...... No, buy donkeys directly, buy tens of thousands of them, and replace manual labor with donkeys, the speed must be a lot faster than people. Li Qingdao said, "In addition, this thing can also be used as supplies, and the donkey meat is called a beautiful ...... Ahem, it's far away. ”

Li Qingzheng said, "The donkey can be used and eaten, which is simply too suitable for coolies." ”

"Donkey......" Zhu Di patted his thigh, "Cheng, that's it." ”

He smiled confidently and said excitedly: "Next year's Northern Expedition, what I want is to be crushed, crushed, or fucking crushed!" ”

Li Qing: "......"

Zhu Di said happily: "Next year, the Tatar Department will be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

"The emperor is wise!" The two gave up.

"Hehe......" Zhu Di couldn't help grinning, and then began to call people again, "Okay, you two go and get busy, old monk, you go to the Pope's eldest grandson to study, and Li Qing you go to assist the prince in governance." ”

“…… Obey the order. ”

——

In the evening, Li Qing, who had finished half a day's work, returned home and rested on the recliner.

Today's Ming Dynasty is at its peak, but the people's life is not too good, because Zhu Di spends money too fiercely, and the money is not enough, so he can only increase taxes.

However, it is precisely because the money is too fierce, the economic circulation of the Ming Dynasty is very fast, and although the people are hard, as long as they are willing to work, at least they will not go hungry.

Because Daming is building everywhere, there is no need to worry about no work.

Li Qing sighed and whispered to himself: "The national strength and the people can't be taken into account, unless the industrial leap can be realized, so that the interests of the country, the people, and the rich gentry are concentrated in one place, and they will ......work hard in one place."

Then, he smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that there is no foundation now, even if there is, there is a feudal dynasty, it can't be implemented, alas...... Master is right. ”

"What are you muttering, sir?" Wan Ling brings a cup of hot tea.

Li Qing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just remembered Master's words." ”

"Sir's Master... It's that Zhang Xianren. Wan Ling was curious, "What did his old man say?" ”

Li Qing said: "In five hundred years, there will be a king who will prosper, and his prosperity will also be vigorous, and his death will also be sudden." ”

"This sentence ......," Wan Ling whispered, "it seems to be from 'Zuo Chuan'." ”

"That's it!" Li Qing really didn't know the source of this sentence.

Over the years, he has been in the power field, and the more he understands, the more he feels that this sentence contains 'avenue'.

"Is there anything bothering you, sir?" Wan Ling asked, "Are you worried about the country and the people again?" ”

Li Qing shook his head: "It's just a little emotional." ”

In fact, he had already thought of a way to completely control Wenchen and strengthen the imperial power.

-- Completely enslaving the common people and further strengthening the feudal society.

Directly implement high-pressure coercion, regard hundreds of officials as slaves, and do not treat the people as people.

To put it bluntly, just one word, kill!

The rich gentry who killed completely surrendered, and the people who killed did not dare to be instigated by the rich gentry.

But in this case, it will cause a very terrible consequence, that is, there will be a lack of civilization inheritance, and when the people's minds are completely imprisoned, it will be no different from the walking dead.

Throughout the dynasties, only the Yuan, and later the Qing, these two dynasties did this.

Fortunately, the time of Yuan's reign was too short and did not have much impact, and the Qing ......

"Sir, I just think too much, and I think too idealistic." Wan Ling said softly, "It's better to be open-minded, as Mr. Shicai said;

In five hundred years, there will be a king who will rise, and his rise will be vigorous, and his death will be sudden;

Mr. or not, somebody will always make a move in the end, won't they? ”

Wan Ling smiled and whispered something taboo: "Come to think of it, hundreds of years later, there will definitely be a king who will appear and create glory again." ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and nodded happily.
