People in Datang have been expelled from school

The spring rain in Guanzhong came very timely.

Good rain knows the season, the rain falls on the top of the palace, and the rain falls like a string of beads along the eaves.

Li Shimin was in a good mood, and the good thing was that Wa and Goguryeo finally went to war again.

Came to fight hard at sea.

After a brief suspension of the weapons business, it started again.

Li Shimin is of course happy to see such things as being able to make money.

But as His Majesty of Datang, His Majesty will not always be in a good mood.

Looking at the memorials, Li Shimin saw a memorial that made him feel bad.

Because of the severe weathering of Yumen Pass for many years, some parts of the pass collapsed. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin said: "Call Fang Xuanling here."

"Here!"

Wang Ding left in a hurry after receiving the words.

Half an hour later, Fang Xuanling hurriedly came to Ganlu Hall to salute, "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin stood up and walked to Fang Xuanling, handed him the memorial of Yumen Pass and said: "The memorial sent by Yumen Pass, the weathering of the pass has caused some places to collapse."

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "The land of Yumen Pass has always been like this, and it is common to build the pass."

Li Shimin said: "Some people said that Yanmen Pass has been in disrepair for a long time."

Since the former Sui Dynasty, there were wars all over the world, and in the Wude period when foreign enemies attacked, not to mention the Yanmen Pass, the passes in other places have not been repaired for a long time.

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty means..."

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "I always feel like someone is telling me to do business with Li Zheng again."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Actually, the generals of each pass will arrange for people to repair the pass, but they just need to recruit some people."

"To recruit people's strength..."

Li Shimin already had a reputation for being improper.

These discussions have never ceased over the years.

In his majesty's career, Li Shimin naturally did not want to have other stains.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are several passes in the north and west of the Central Plains that have fallen into disrepair for a long time."

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Here!"

Fang Xuanling bowed again and continued: "If we want to repair so many passes, we need to recruit more than tens of thousands of people, but if this matter is not done by the court, the court can reduce a lot of burden."

Li Shimin nodded for him to continue.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty, don't you think it's a coincidence? A courtier suggested that Jingyang should be handed over to repair the border gate. Before His Majesty made a decision, something happened at Yumen Pass."

Li Shimin sat down again feeling helpless, "You mean this is what Jing Yang wants to achieve?"

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "I dare not say that."

Li Shimin looked at the rain scene outside, "I feel that Li Zheng wants more and more."

Fang Xuanling walked to Li Shimin's side, "Your Majesty, you might as well leave it to Li Zheng."

Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously.

"Since we know that this is Li Zheng's method, let Li Zheng achieve this goal. Jingyang has limited manpower. If the border construction works are too long, it will make Jingyang not enough manpower, and Jingyang also needs manpower development."

"You mean to weaken Jingyang's power?"

"I just feel that there is no pressure from the government to hand over more than a dozen passes to Jingyang for repairs. Second, Jingyang needs to dispatch manpower. Once the pass is started, it will definitely affect Jingyang's own development."

Will it count?

Li Shimin liked Fang Xuanling's strategy quite a bit.

The so-called Fang Mou is decisive, and Fang Xuanling often has unique insights when it comes to planning.

Fang Xuanling said again; "Since Jingyang's engineering team wants to build fortifications, it's better to hand over dozens of passes to Li Zheng."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said: "In this case, you can discuss it with Du Ruhui, and then tell me when you have a detailed charter."

"Here."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly left after receiving the message.

Li Shimin's eyes were still looking at the rainy scene outside. Fang Xuanling's method was very good, but there was always a feeling of unrest in his heart.

This time, the rainy season in Guanzhong was abundant, which caused the water level of several rivers around Chang'an to rise a lot.

Three days later, Li Zheng was standing by the stables, looking at the blue sky, the rainy season was finally over.

Li Yifu brought Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui here, "Chang'an order, I brought it here."

Looking at the two, Li Zheng said, "Please sit down, both of you."

Du Ruhui looked at the strong horses in the stables and said, "These horses are well-raised."

Li Zheng said: "These horses are fed with high-quality fodder."

Du Ruhui said: "It's not something that can be fed just by feeding it, I'm afraid it's probably pulled out for a while."

Withdrawing his gaze, Du Ruhui looked at Li Zheng.

Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Zheng and said, "Chang'an Ling and we are both acquaintances, and we don't know how to be courteous, so let's talk about business."

Li Zheng poured tea for the two of them, "I've heard about everything, so many passes have been in disrepair for a long time, and His Majesty is powerless to repair them."

Fang Xuanling said: "So we found the Chang'an Order. I didn't know that the Jingyang Engineering Team could not take over this fortification."

After the rain, just sitting here can smell the dirt and grass.

"The fortifications are huge, but it's not impossible to take over the project."

"A gentleman has no jokes." Fang Xuanling said, a little bit of a drum in his heart. With the manpower that Li Zheng can use now, how can he complete such a large fortification, from Shanhai Pass all the way west to Yumen Pass, among which there are more than ten passes.

Li Zheng agreed to such a large fortification without even thinking about it.

Li Zheng asked Li Yifu to bring some roast lamb.

Fang Xuanling was not too polite, and he was already hungry along the way, eating mutton and said: "How much does Jingyang want to take over this fortification?"

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't need money for now."

"for free?"

"Why don't we make a land pledge."

Hearing Li Zheng talk about land pledge, Du Ruhui was thinking about the meaning of land pledge in the books he had read most of his life.

Li Zheng ate the mutton skewers and said: "Actually, it's simple to say. It's nothing more than a pledge of part of the land from the court to me for the cost of the construction. Give it back to the court, so that I won't be afraid of the court's repudiation."

Fang Xuanling said: "The imperial court will not renege on its debts, Chang'an Ling must trust us."

Li Zhengqian smiled and said: "Haha, Your Majesty has delayed me for so many years without giving me a penny of salary. Our Majesty's credibility is too low. Besides, this project is at least a million-dollar project."

"This……"

It is His Majesty's business for Li Shimin not to pay the salary. According to what Li Zheng said, His Majesty does have a record of repudiation.

Fang Xuanling thought it over and said again and again: "If the court can't get the money for the fortification, the pledged Chang'an order will not be returned to the court, will it?"
