Chapter 471 Ambition Plan
Chapter 467

Wei Hao and Lu Dongzan were sitting there eating. Lu Dongzan had never seen such a meal!
"Come on, please, you're welcome, just the two of us, try to finish it! Don't waste it!" Wei Hao made a gesture of invitation to Lu Dongzan, and Lu Dongzan nodded quickly when he heard it, saying please,
Wei Hao picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.Then he talked about when the money will be paid. According to Wei Hao, from now on, within one month, the money will be in the hands of Datang.

If you can’t arrive, then Datang’s army won’t be able to move. Lu Dongzan nodded when he heard it, and then thought that such a verbal comment was unfounded, so he asked Wei Hao to write a proof. Wei Hao agreed to write it. After eating After the meal, Wei Hao and Lu Dongzan sat on the side of the tea tray and wrote the notes. After writing, Wei Hao showed the notes to Lu Dongzan.

"Look, we've made an appointment, can you see if there is any problem? Including how many troops from the Tang Dynasty will go there, and when they will go there, there are opinions. Of course, this premise is that your money can be in place. If you can't If it is in place, then this contract will be void, you have to remember the time." Wei Hao gave the written proof to Lu Dongzan,
Lu Dongzan picked it up and looked at it carefully, no problem, very reasonable, and nodded.

"You copy a copy! In this way, the two of us will each have a copy. If there is anything, we can check it out!" Wei Hao said to Lu Dongzan.

"Well, okay, but what's the matter with your pen, it doesn't seem to be a writing brush!" Lu Dongzan pointed to the pen on the table and asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, I'm very bad at writing calligraphy, so I have no choice but to use this kind of pen, just kidding!" Wei Hao smiled, cupped his hands and said.

"Don't you dare? It's mainly out of curiosity. Write it, and I will also copy it with a brush!" Lu Dongzan said quickly, and quickly finished writing.

After finishing writing, two people signed and marked, and then each of them got a copy, and took it away. Wei Hao received the copy written by Lu Dongzan, and Lu Dongzan received the copy written by Wei Hao.

"Come, drink tea!" Wei Hao greeted Lu Dongzan and said, Lu Dongzan was very happy when he heard it. Today's matter is almost finished, and tomorrow he needs to send people out of the city to return to the country and send a letter to the king to let them prepare. Good money, and then you can start preparing for the move.

The two chatted for a while, Lu Dongzan said that he would leave first, Wei Hao did not leave him behind, and went out of the gate of Juxian Tower with Lu Dongzan, and then left separately. When Wei Hao saw what happened to Lu Dongzan, Li Shimin also knew it, not only Li Shimin knew it, but Li Ke and the others also knew it. After all, Wei Hao and Lu Dongzan appeared together in Juxian Building, which many people could see. Wei Hao didn't intend to hide such a thing.

"This kid, why are you meeting in Juxian Tower?" Li Shimin felt very strange, why didn't he meet at home.

"Your Majesty, when we meet the people below, we will prepare the content of their conversation. Lu Dongzan has been under our surveillance!" Eunuch Hong stood in the dark and said to Li Shimin.

"No, what can I say? I'm just begging Shen Yong to intercede for them. I know the child Shen Yong, so I can intercede for them? Huh? Don't even think about it, this kid is very reluctant to directly merge Tubo into our Tang Dynasty Come on!" Li Shimin waved his hand, he believed that Wei Hao would not act recklessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Hong heard what Li Shimin said, so he couldn't continue talking.

And early the next morning, after Wei Hao got up, he went to the Weihe River first to see how things were doing on the Weihe River. Now they are already digging bridge piers, and they all need to build eight bridge piers. Every time there are four constructions, those workers are starting to dig. The main problem is drainage. Wei Hao prepared more than a dozen water dragons to drain water. Now the four emphases are starting to dig!

"It's a good thing there are so many people, otherwise, drainage would be a big problem!" Wei Hao asked as he stood by the edge of the pit.

"Duke Xia, do we need to dig this deep?" an official from the Ministry of Industry asked.

"Yes, if you don't dig to the hard bottom, when the flood comes, won't it be troublesome?" Wei Hao said to the official, after a round of inspection, Wei Hao went to the Bahe River,
As noon approached, Wei Hao thought it was time to eat, and he wanted to go to the palace for a meal, so he went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Duke Xia is here!" Wang De saw Wei Hao approaching from a distance, and immediately came in to report.

"Oh, here it is, let him come in directly!" Li Shimin said happily,
At the moment in the study, there are Li Xiaogong and Dai Zhou, they are still discussing about sending troops, Li Shimin also told the two of them about the plan, Li Xiaogong very much agrees, but Dai Zhou said that there is no money, so spending money like this is useless, I think it is a loss. If you want to mobilize those troops, you need at least 30 yuan.
Because those troops were originally in the northwest, they just needed to be mobilized and then build some barracks. The extra expenses were not much, and Dai Zhou didn't want to spend this money on this matter!
"Father!" Wei Hao yelled loudly as soon as he came in.

"This way!" Li Shimin shouted immediately, and then saw a swarthy Wei Hao. Wei Hao had turned white before, but Wei Hao was tanned in a few days at the construction site.

"Why is it so dark?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao with a frown.

"It's okay, I've met Uncle Wang and Dai Shangshu!" Wei Hao smiled, and then said to them both.

"Come, come, sit down, drink tea, you can direct them to do things on the construction site, you don't have to keep staring over there?" Li Shimin immediately poured tea for Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, they also have to do something, right? I also hope that they can do well, but there is no way, I still need to do it myself." Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said.

"Well, then we have to hide under the shade of the trees. If that's not possible, we should also wear a bamboo hat!" Li Shimin continued to look at Wei Hao with concern and said!

"I wear it, it's useless, father, it's still hot to wear, it's okay, in winter, I'll turn white again!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Shenyong's work is really admirable. With this vigor, we people can't compare. You have managed this locust plague so beautifully. The old man is worried, can the entire Chang'an City still have food left? Unexpectedly, you actually used this little money to solve the matter, which is really unexpected!" Li Xiaogong also praised Wei Hao at the moment.

"Uncle Wang, don't put a high hat on me!" Wei Hao said a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Wang is not exaggerating, besides, Uncle Wang is not easy to praise others, but you are worth it, really worth it!" Li Xiaogong said again giving Wei Hao a thumbs up.

"Well, I can afford it!" Li Shimin also said happily there, his son-in-law was praised by others, how can he be unhappy?

"By the way, Shenyong, what about the locusts, are they still being collected?" Li Shimin then looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I'm collecting. I don't know how it is. I have handed over all these matters to the King of Shu. My thoughts are on the bridge. The affairs of Jingzhao Mansion are done step by step. There is nothing wrong with it." The king of Shu is fully capable of handling emergencies. By the way, father, I want to report to you about my dinner with Lu Dongzan from Tubo yesterday." Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin as he spoke.

"What are you talking about? Eat it after you eat it. He has visited many people's houses. By the way, why don't you let him go to your house?" Li Shimin asked indifferently with a smile. He was serious. It doesn't matter, Wei Hao's idea to cheat Tubo now is Wei Hao's idea. It is impossible for Wei Hao and Tubo to talk nonsense, and what they said is also nonsense.

"My father refused. My father said that I had an uncle who was killed by those people. Therefore, there cannot be Tubo people in my family. Anyway, I know that I will not be born at that time. Listen to me. Brother Wei Chen said, my grandfather also died because of this, so instead of bringing Lu Dongzan to my residence, I met him in Juxian Building instead!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, Your Majesty, I dare to ask, does Shenyong know our plan for the northwest?" At this time, Dai Zhou suddenly interrupted and asked, Wei Hao looked at Dai Zhou incomprehensibly, and Li Shimin also looked at him incomprehensibly. he.

"I want Shen Yong to analyze and analyze. Is it worth it for us? Spending so much money is not taking military action. Is it a loss? Why should we do such a thing? Wouldn't it be better for them to fight?" Dai Zhou Zhou sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, talk to Shen Yong, this plan was proposed by Shen Yong, and I have perfected it!" Li Shimin motioned Dai Zhou to speak at this moment.

"Ah, you brought it up? No, Shen Yong, why? We are obviously at a disadvantage!" Dai Zhou looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly and said.

"What's wrong?" Wei Hao looked at Dai Zhou incomprehensibly, how could he suffer?Then Dai Zhou talked about his thoughts to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard it.

"Shen Yong, tell me, is it worth it? I know that His Majesty wants to solve the problems in the northwest and the north. Since last year, the Ministry of War has been making preparations, including hoarding food, training horses, and repairing armor and weapons. , have been spending money,

If we really want to fight at that time, in fact, our Ministry of Civil Affairs will not have much money to spend. We need to use up to 100 million in cash. At that time, we will temporarily replenish supplies to the front line in case of emergency, but now, mobilize Troops, I did some calculations, and the consumption of supplies will cost 30 yuan.
Your Majesty, Shenyong, and King Hejian, it is not easy for our Ministry of Civil Affairs to save some money. Now money is needed everywhere, several straight roads need to be repaired, and water conservancy facilities need to be repaired. These all need money, and in the past two years , The population is increasing very fast, and we have been looking for ways to buy food first, and hoarding it, for fear of some disaster, if there is no food at that time, the people will be in chaos! "Sitting there, Dai Zhou spoke worriedly to Wei Hao and the others.

"Father, does Dai Shangshu know all the plans?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"I know, I told them!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"That's good, come on, father, look at this!" Wei Hao took out the written documents written during the negotiation with Lu Dongzan yesterday, unfolded them, and handed them to Li Shimin.

"What?" Li Shimin said, then took it and looked at it carefully.

"Good boy, you can really do it, ah, hahaha! Come on, Dai Shangshu, Dai Shangshu, take a look, you don't have to worry about money, look, what Shenyong does!" After seeing the content, Li Shimin was very excited. I was happy, and immediately laughed and said,

And Li Xiaogong and Dai Zhou didn't know what Wei Hao gave to Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay, Shen Yong, this thing is done beautifully, beautifully!" After reading it, Li Shimin happily patted Wei Hao on the shoulder and said, at the same time, he showed the paper to Li Xiaogong and the others, and the two of them unfolded it carefully look at.

"Okay, haha, Dai Shangshu, you have nothing to say this time, right?" Li Xiaogong said to Dai Zhou very happily after seeing the main content, and Dai Zhou was also smiling and stroking his beard at the moment.

"Shen Yong, how can this Lu Dongzan be fooled by you? Tell your father about it in detail?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with great interest and asked, Li Xiaogong and Dai Zhou also stared at Wei Hao.

"It's nothing, the main reason is that Tubo is worried about Tuyuhun now, and we fought several battles between Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun, so they think that we will definitely restrain Tuyuhun's troops. Look at Tuyuhun's reaction?

If we leak the news and we don't fight Tuyuhun, then Tuyuhun may attack tentatively. If they know that our Tang troops have not moved, then they will mobilize more troops to fight Tuyuhun, let them fight first, consume first That said, besides, Father, I am going to have an affair with Lu Dongzan! " Wei Hao said and looked at Li Shimin.

"Business?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao a little confused.

"Yes, if you want to go to the Jieri Dynasty, you can't get around Tubo. Now because Tubo doesn't let my goods from Tang Dynasty pass through the border, so now we can only do business with him. Moreover, we can't take Tubo quickly now. Therefore, my son It means, let them spend a while before talking,
We have to annex the four countries of Tuyuhun, Tubo, Jieri Dynasty and Sassanid Persia, but before the annexation, there are still many things to do, which is to consume their national power, how to consume it, is to let them buy ours Products, in the past two years, Xue Yantuo and the Northwest Turks, their strength has been greatly reduced, because our goods are supplied to them in large quantities, and the Goguryeo side will also be the same,

Therefore, while weakening them in the past two years, our Tang Dynasty has also accumulated wealth. When the time is right, we will take a country at any time to completely solve the border problem! "Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Shimin and the others.

"Shen Yong, I know what you're talking about, but if this is the case, wouldn't it increase Tubo's strength?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao worriedly and said.

"Father, my son's suggestion is to take Tubo within three years and incorporate Tubo into our Tang territory. Now, we need money to fight, and Tubo also needs money, but they have money. It doesn't have much effect, Lu Dongzan has made money, he may give them a part of Songtsan Gampo, but I believe that other ministers don't have it,

If Lu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo are rich, but those ministers and common people have no money, think about it, would those ministers and common people still support them?Moreover, they don't have enough iron, and they don't have enough horses, so even if they have money, they can't improve their strength much.

But we in Datang are different. We make money from workshops and workers. When workers have money, they will have more children. The same is true for those businessmen. They will support me even more.
Within three years, before Tubo reacts, we will take down the entire Tubo. In this way, the next step is to deal with the Jieri Dynasty and Persia. Of course, before dealing with these two countries, we need to completely kill the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo. They, then there are no strong enemies around the entire Tang Dynasty. Of course, Goguryeo may be quite powerful, but at that time, we will consume him slowly, not to mention, we can't fight him. If we want to fight, we will fight. The war of destroying the country completely resolved the affairs of all the surrounding countries, and expanded the territory of Datang to more than three times now! "Wei Hao sat there and said very ambitiously.

"Okay, that's it. I just like what you do. As long as you say you can do it, you can do it. In this way, Dai Zhou, do you have any questions about mobilizing the troops this time?" Li Shimin was very happy when Wei Hao said that. Ah, ask Dai Zhou immediately.

"Return to Your Majesty, now that Xia Guogong has got the money, the minister naturally has no objection, and the Ministry of War can be transferred at any time!" Dai Zhou said immediately, cupping his hands.

"What about you?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaogong.

"Your Majesty, at any time, order that the army be mobilized immediately after receiving the order!" Li Xiaogong also said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Have you sent someone to contact Tuyuhun?" Li Shimin stared at Li Xiaogong and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already been dispatched, but don't worry. Anyway, our army is there, and they dare not move us. The initiative is in our hands. If Tuyuhun believes me, it's best. If he doesn't believe us, he won't It doesn't matter, what I'm worried about is, once Tubo becomes stronger, will it swallow the valley?" Li Xiaogong also expressed his concern.

"Father, Uncle Wang, don't worry at all. Our army is not there just for display. To fight Tuyuhun, my suggestion is, if the opportunity is right, we should fight. We can't leave it to Tubo!" Wei Hao said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Well, in the past few years, Tuyuhun has brought us a lot of trouble, but they themselves have also been beaten and disabled. The Ministry of War has made a plan. Once the opportunity comes, we will deal with them!" Li Shimin then turned to Li Xiaogong. Said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Xiaogong said immediately as well.

"In the next few years, the court will also save money. In the past two years, the court has spent a lot of money and built a lot of roads. However, it's okay. Shenyong has set up so many workshops, so that the surrounding areas of Chang'an All the people have benefited." Li Shimin said with emotion at this moment, the Tang Dynasty has been dormant for several years, and it is time to show its minions.
