People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 446

Li Shimin said: "Many people in the court have suggested that they send troops to help the Turks put down the war."

Li Zheng smiled coldly.

Seeing Li Zheng's expression, Li Shimin was suspicious, "What are you laughing at?"

"It seems that many ministers in the court do not take the lives of soldiers seriously."

Li Shimin straightened his clothes and said, "Then tell us how the court should deal with this matter."

Fang Xuanling also sat upright, spread out a silk book and prepared his pen and ink.

It is obvious that Li Shimin intends to take this conversation as the right one.

There will be a living man in the DPRK and China to record Li Shimin's conversations on weekdays.

The words played right must be recorded so that they can be circulated. This also appears to be Li Shimin's practice of opening up.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said first: "You said Datang can't send troops?"

Li Zheng glanced at Fang Xuanling, and had already recorded Li Shimin's first sentence.

"May I ask Your Majesty what the soldiers of Tang Dynasty are used for?"

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Defend the family and defend the country! Expand the territory!"

Li Zheng went on to say: "That's right. The men of the Tang Dynasty joined the army to defend their families and the country. They threw their heads and blood outside the pass for the defenseless people in the rear! When are they for the Turkic people?"

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't reply.

Li Zheng went on to say: "When the Central Plains was in turmoil, they took the opportunity to plunder. When the Central Plains was weak, they broke into the pass and did all kinds of evil. Why did they ever treat the Central Plains people as human beings? Now that the Yinshan Mountains have been pacified and the Hetao has been recovered, it is time to be elated, but to Help the Turks who once plundered us, let our soldiers help the Turks fight."

"The soldiers of the Great Tang guarding the Great Tang can naturally throw their heads and blood, and the expansion of the territory is also to establish military exploits and glorify the lintel. It is natural for us soldiers of the Great Tang to serve the country of the Great Tang. How many soldiers will respond to Your Majesty!"

"If you want to help the Turkic people who plundered us in the past, and fight for those Turkic people, is it true that our Tang soldiers were raised by stepmothers?"

Listening to Li Zheng's narration, Li Shimin's emotions fluctuated.

Fang Xuanling wrote down what Li Zheng said eloquently, and looked up at Li Shimin's expression.

Li Zheng whispered to Li Shimin: "As for those who advocate sending troops, I think it is necessary to check whether they have taken advantage of the Turks."

Li Shimin sat there thinking for a long time, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Li Zheng whispered to Li Shimin: "I think it's enough to send one or two envoys to the Turks, and then teach the Turks how to fight. As for sending troops, our Tang Dynasty has a small population."

Fang Xuanling nodded while recording Li Zheng's words.

Li Shimin stood up and said, "I understand what you mean."

Li Zheng poured Li Shimin a cup of tea, "Your Majesty is wise."

After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin stood up and said, "It may be a long time since I visited Jingyang, let me go for a walk."

"Your Majesty has orders, do I dare not respect them?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "No matter how I look at you, you look reluctant."

He got up and took Li Shimin into the village. When he entered the village, he saw a mountain of grain piled up one by one, each one the size of a house.

"If I saw so much food back then, I would definitely send an army to surround Jingyang."

Li Zheng grinned and said: "The harvest in Guanzhong has been bumper year after year, all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom."

"Really? If I want you to hand over these grains to the court, will you give it?"

"Is Your Majesty going to grab it?" Li Zhengfan asked.

"You..." Li Shimin heaved a long sigh, "Why did Li Zhi fall in love with a person like you who wants money and is unreasonable."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

"Am I praising you?"

"It's all because His Majesty is praising me."

Li Shimin waved his sleeves in disappointment, and then walked towards the village.

Walking to the trail in the village, Li Shimin saw the slogan of thrift at a glance.

Unable to twitch the corner of his mouth, Li Shimin pointed to the slogan and asked, "Li Zheng, you Jingyang is so rich, you still need to be thrifty?"

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Rich? Your Majesty just joked. We in Jingyang still have a long way to go to get rid of poverty and become rich. As the saying goes, the road is long and long."

Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the Chang'an Order may be that no matter whether the current life is good or bad, we must maintain the original intention of thrift."

Li Shimin smiled disdainfully.

The villagers in Jingyang are very busy, basically everyone has something to do.

When I came to Jingyang blacksmith workshop, only the three brothers of the Tie family were busy in the blacksmith workshop, and now they only repair some farm tools.

I saw a villager passing by on a tricycle pulling a load of goods.

Li Shimin looked at it for a while and said, "Li Zheng, there is something I want to ask you."

Following behind Li Shimin, Li Zheng said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"Why a tricycle has three wheels instead of four."

"Because it's a tricycle, um! That's it." Li Zheng explained.

Li Shimin said again: "What if there are four wheels?"

Li Zheng sighed and said, "It's not easy to turn with four wheels."

Li Shimin thought about the situation when using the bicycle, and changed the single wheel of Qianmian into a double wheel in his mind, which seemed to be the case.

Walking to the Jingyang River, Li Shimin saw several huge machines, and Yan Liben was busy leading a group of craftsmen in the distance.

"This is……"

"This is a hydraulic spinning wheel, and cotton cloth is made from these spinning wheels." Li Zheng introduced.

Seeing several women skillfully operating the spinning wheel, Li Shimin took a few more curious glances.

A huge water wheel is rotated by water power to drive the mechanism in the spinning wheel.

There are several balls of thread on the other side of the spinning wheel. With the rotation of the machine, the thread balls are also rotated and drawn into the spinning wheel. The threads are interlaced and layered one after another to form a piece of cloth, and then come out from the other end of the spinning wheel. .

Fang Xuanling was very interested in this spinning wheel.

Taking Wang Ding and Li Zheng aside, Li Shimin looked at the Jingyang River and asked, "Li Zheng, are you responsible for the Western Turkic and Tubo affairs?"

"What does His Majesty think?"

Taking a strange look at Li Zheng, Li Shimin continued, "What are you going to do with the food?"

Li Zheng glanced at Fang Xuanling who was still studying the spinning wheel in the distance, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty needs to cooperate with the court affairs."

Li Shimin nodded, "Don't worry, I will let Wang Ding watch, if I can't hide it, then..."

Li Zheng said: "Your Majesty will definitely take my head at that time."

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "Actually, the Chang'an Order is very clean. This old slave knows that the government has been investigating the reason for the matter these days, but there are only a few people involved in the Chang'an Order."

"General Li Ji, Xu Jingzong, and that merchant in West Turkic." Wang Ding glanced at Li Zheng's expression, "Is what I said right?"

"It was checked very carefully."
