Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 594 Chic and cute little things

After Yu Chigong finished speaking, Qin Qiong disagreed.

He retorted: "It's not impossible to attack the Western Regions, but not now. Wu Guogong, you must know that there have been so many disasters in the past few years, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already been hollowed out. Even if it takes time to recover, it will take a long time.

According to what you said, attack the Western Regions first, but how many countries are there in the Western Regions?

Coupled with the fact that the Western Turks are on the sidelines, after the first battle, the treasury may be emptied again. If the time is not good, what should we do?
In order to deter the Western Regions, it is not worthwhile to attack the Western Regions. "

"Don't you need money and food to fight the grassland?" Yu Chigong asked back.

"Of course, but not too many." Qin Qiong said to himself: "The grassland people are just dying, so there is no need to use a large number of soldiers and horses. In the Western Regions, there is no army of [-], and they can't go out."

"I don't need [-], I only need [-] to sweep the Western Regions." Yuchi Gong said coquettishly.

He has the qualifications to brag, after all, it has not been long since the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks.

At the same time, this is also the difference between Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong.

Who Yu Chigong wants to fight depends on who is difficult to fight, who is difficult to fight, and when he is beaten, he will be able to show that he is awesome.Qin Qiong is more inclined to economic considerations.

"Why didn't you fight Goguryeo?" Duan Zhixuan asked.

Li Zhiyun was silent for a while, and said: "Goguryeo, a big country in the region, occupies the superiority of the terrain and the hearts of the people. If you want to move, you must go all out."

Duan Zhixuan said: "Your Majesty, we have already wiped out the Khitan and Xi tribes, and we have opened up the main road to Liaodong. It is absolutely possible to advance in multiple ways and wipe out Goguryeo in one fell swoop."

Li Zhiyun is clear about this, but he can't do this.At the very least, it is not yet possible to attack Goguryeo.

If you fight Goguryeo in the future, you must fight to the fullest, and don't give Goguryeo a chance to survive.

Otherwise, he must be the one who loses in the tug-of-war.

In fact, speaking of this, Li Zhiyun knows who is the most suitable to fight, but he still feels that if he does not attack the countries in the Western Regions at this time, especially the Western Turks, it will easily make the power there bigger and stronger.

So, he looked at Li Jing.

"Pharmacist, what do you think?"

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "Gaoguryeo is not advisable now. As Your Majesty said, Goguryeo has a favorable location and harmonious people. If you want to fight, you should go all out.

The countries in the Western Regions are chaotic and complicated, including Western Turks and Tuyuhun.If we want to completely occupy the land of the Western Regions, we must attack Tuyuhun, so as to prevent our army from entering the Western Regions in the future and being attacked by the enemy.But Tuyuhun's strength is not bad, and it is less than a hundred thousand soldiers, so we should use about fifty thousand soldiers.

After three years of disasters, the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was empty. After the war against Tuyuhun, our dynasty had to rest for a while.

At this time, Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs in the grassland will definitely take the opportunity to grow stronger, and by then"

At this point, Li Jing stopped talking.

But what he meant was obvious, destroy the grasslands first, and then destroy the Western Regions.

Li Zhiyun was silent for a while, then said: "Actually, I also know that the two tribes of Xue Yantuo and Uyghur must be destroyed first, but I am also worried that the Western Regions will become stronger and stronger."

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the grassland is stable. If you use your majesty's method to continuously obtain cattle, sheep and war horses from the grassland, I will be able to recover blood quickly, and the battle against the Western Regions will go smoothly."

Also!

Li Zhiyun smiled, Li Jing's words were correct, and it would be a good way to suck the blood of the grassland and use it as military resources.

"I understand."

Sometimes, you still can't rush forward, you have to solve the disaster in front of you.

As the end of the year approaches, Chang'an is gradually becoming more lively.

And every winter, Li Zhiyun's internal funds will have some extra income.

Earn little money on briquettes.

However, this is just a tip.

Since the sale of white sugar, the emperor's internal funds have been increasing day by day, but those agents have been greedy.But they had nothing to say, because the emperor later allowed them to sell woolen clothes on the grasslands.

Li Zhiyun will basically take care of the interests that can be taken care of.However, where it should be controlled, he will control it to death.

For example, the emperor allowed them to build the new looms in the factory, but the taxes that should be paid, the wages that should be paid, and the slaves that should be exploited had to be approved by the emperor.

Moreover, the scale and sales license had to be obtained from the emperor.

Anyone who dares to go to the grasslands to sell woolen clothes without a sales license approved by the imperial court is smuggling.

Catch one and punish one heavily.

In addition, the sales price must also follow the rules of the court.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Zhiyun is drafting a law about commercial taxation.

At present, the commercial tax of the imperial court is still in the original version, and it is bound to be inappropriate to involve foreign trade in the future.

However, Li Zhiyun is really not proficient in this aspect, so he started tearing up the paper while writing.

"I still don't read enough books." Li Zhiyun put down his pen and smiled distressedly.

At this moment, Gao Liangzhong walked up to the emperor holding a box.

"Your Majesty, Yuwen Industrial Supervision sent someone to deliver something, saying that it is the glasses that His Majesty wants."

"Oh, he finally polished it out." Li Zhiyun chuckled, put the box on the table and opened it.

Inside lay a pair of glasses quietly.

With Datang's current industrial level, it is not easy to polish a pair of glasses.It is mainly due to lack of experience and insufficient infrastructure, so it can only be done by hand.

That's why Li Zhiyun took the time to teach.

"What about others?"

"At Tai Chi Gate."

"Reward him with fifty taels of gold. In addition, let him send twenty copies first."

"According to the order."

The Palace of Ganlu belongs to the harem, and the palace rules are strict. Foreign officials are not allowed to step into the harem, otherwise it will be a felony.

As for the crime, it all depends on how the enemy or the censor wants you to die.

When the first emperor was around, Pei Ji often went in and out of the harem without any scruples, and was often impeached by the censor.

After Li Zhiyun ascended the throne, his courtiers were very cautious, and no one dared to go too far.Even Li Zhen and Li Qiang, the generals of the left and right guards, were only patrolling around the Hall of Tai Chi and the Hall of Liangyi.

Unless the emperor summoned them, they could not just come to the Ganlu hall to meet the emperor.Of course, as the emperor's bodyguard, Li Zhen defended the emperor most of the time.

Li Zhiyun picked up his glasses and looked at him quietly.

Honestly, it's rough.

After all, it is not polished by a machine, and the technology of firing glass is not skilled enough.But the clarity is still there, barely usable.

Technology is advancing step by step, so take your time.

Dufu.

As the emperor's confidant minister, Du Ruhui's mansion was not luxuriously built, but very low-key.

But low-key does not mean that others can ignore it.

Returning home from the next court, Du Ruhui was drinking hot soup in the study, grilling on the coal stove, studying while checking his son's studies.

"What did you write that made you memorize the article seriously, you don't listen, do you?"

Du Gou lowered his head, admitting his mistake.

"The child is wrong."

The eldest son's soft personality made Du Ruhui very helpless.

"Take a good look again, I will check later."

"Yes."

Du Gou held the book and recited it quietly in a low voice.

Du Ruhui took out from the drawer the box that the emperor sent to him this morning when he came down to court.

The new-style desk has drawers, which makes people feel very convenient, at least it is convenient to put some things in it.

Moreover, because the relative height of the tables and chairs is moderate, the volume occupied by the drawers does not hinder anything, so everyone can accept it.

Opening the box, Du Ruhui looked over it curiously.He also wanted to know what His Majesty would give him.

A pair of glasses.

Du Ruhui didn't know what the glasses were for at first, until he read the 'manual' and suddenly realized.

So, he put it on.

Then he felt awesome.

The emperor is so kind to him!

How many copywriters are not myopic?
Although it is impossible to measure the degree of myopia, a pair is specially assigned for each person.

However, the appearance of the glasses made Du Ruhui very happy, because he could see more clearly.
