Li Shimin

Chapter 850 Tochara City
"Back to Da Lang, back to Lang Jun, it's over, it's all sold out!"

Wang Laowu said with a happy face.

"All sold out?"

When Wang Xuance and Li Chengqian heard this, they couldn't help looking at Wang Laowu with surprise on their faces.

"Yeah, you don't know, when the villain led those rich businessmen from Weinan County to see the cement house we built, the expressions of those rich businessmen..."

As he said that, Wang Laoshu happily described the scene at that time.

"That's why even if the price I'm selling is so expensive, those rich merchants from aristocratic families are still rushing to buy it!"

"Exactly!"

Wang Laowu nodded repeatedly.

"Very good!"

Li Chengqian finally felt relieved.

"Congratulations Dalang, since this is the case, my Weinan County can also directly pre-sell cement houses like my master. If anyone wants to buy a cement house, they can pay [-]% or [-]% of the deposit, and then I can directly build it." !"

Wang Xuance quickly suggested.

"good!"

Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong nodded happily.

"Master, Aye, and the others are in Chang'an City. In just a few days, hundreds of powerful families have paid the deposit. I am already envious. I will send a message tomorrow that we can also pre-sell cement houses in Weinan County."

“Still the price!”

"..."

With the hot sales of cement houses in Chang'an City and Weinan County, the cement houses in the surrounding counties such as Lantian County, Xinfeng County, and Xianyang County have also begun to enter the eyes of wealthy businessmen from various counties.

In the land of Guanzhong, a trend of concrete houses began to slowly blow up.

In order to obtain a set of concrete houses, many wealthy and powerful families even started to buy them at a premium in private.

At the same time, under the governance of Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others, Weinan County also began to enter the normal state.

at the same time.

A great event also happened in Datang.

The Crown Princess of the Tang Dynasty gave birth to the eldest son of His Royal Highness, and Li Shimin named him Li Jue!
On that day, the aged Supreme Emperor Li Yuan came to the East Palace excitedly and bestowed countless money and fields.

As for Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was even more delighted.

Not only did he bestow countless treasures on the princess, but he also held a banquet in the Linhua Hall to amnesty the world and celebrate with the whole country.

At the same time, Princess Xiangcheng gave birth to the eldest son Xue Na for Pingyang Hou Xue Rengui!
Of course, because of the birth of Li Chengqian's eldest son, the birth of Xue Na, who was only the eldest son of the county lord, did not cause a sensation in Chang'an City.

Only Li Xuan took a big family and ran to Xuejiazhuang next door, and took a few large carts to visit Princess Xiangcheng for a long time.

Then, it was Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others who bestowed a lot of property.

The rest are Changsun Chong, Wang Xuance, Wang Baoding and others who came to see Xue Rengui's eldest son.

Then, everyone gave a big meal of envy.

After returning, they must step up their cultivation and must speed up the planting of their eldest sons!

Only the sons-in-law are their heirs.

As for the eldest son from the concubine, they already had one.

Even Li Chengqian's eldest son, Li Xiang, is several years old!

Spring to autumn.

This year's Tang Dynasty had a great harvest. Since the beginning of spring, there have been no natural or man-made disasters.

All the people in Datang were beaming with joy.

Even, the number of people in Datang getting married and having children this year has also increased a lot.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, in just two years between the ninth year of Zhenguan and the tenth year of Zhenguan, Datang was able to produce millions more newborns.

Of course, the biggest happy event is the return of the fleet that Li Shimin sent to Luzon Island to search for gold!
Moreover, they brought back two full ships of gold!

"Your Majesty, did you really find gold?"

Inside Li's Manor, Li Xuan looked expectant when he saw the chart with various markings that Li Shimin put in front of him.

Gold mine!
As long as it can be found, it must belong to Datang!

Even if it is in the Great Food Frontier, it will belong to Datang!

In this era, even if all the barbarians on the earth unite, they cannot defeat Datang!

"Xuanba, as you said, there is really gold on Luzon Island, even everywhere! Even, Fang Maocheng and the others saw that those barbarians on Luzon Island are actually using gold to pay their respects!"

Li Shimin said with joy on his face.

Fang Maocheng was ordered by Li Shimin this time to lead the fleet to Luzon Island to search for gold.

"The barbarians are ignorant and ignorant, and they make treasures dust!"

On the side, Changsun Wuji said angrily.

"Extremely, extremely!" Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling and the others agreed one after another, with distressed expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, do you know if you have found gold in Liuqiu Island or Tianzhu?" Li Xuan asked again.

"This……"

A trace of strangeness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he shook his head slowly.

"How is this possible?" Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"However, Xuanba, don't panic, although he didn't find gold, he found a lot of spices in Tianzhu!" Li Shimin said with a light smile.

"spices?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, you can send someone to Heling Country to check it out. Heling Country is full of spices and exotic trees. The barbarians there even use ivory as their bed..."

"Bastard!"

After listening, Li Shimin couldn't help saying angrily.

"Your Majesty, besides the sea, there are countless precious treasures of each. When the cannons are installed on our Datang Iron and Steel Ship, we will start sending out the fleet and go out to sea to find treasures!"

Li Xuan ignored it, and said slowly again.

"It's natural!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Xuanba, Luzon Island alone can dig out more than 20 catties of gold for my Tang Dynasty in a year! If we sell spices, exotic woods, and ivory from Tianzhu and Heling, My Tang Dynasty has another source of income!"

"Your Majesty can at least earn more than 4000 million yuan a year!" Li Xuandao.

"Xuanba don't worry, no matter how much money you make, at least [-]% will be yours!" Li Shimin said.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and slowly refused: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but there is too much money, I hold it hot, just give half of it!"

"So, follow Xuanba's will!"

Li Shimin didn't insist either.

"After one month, the artillery produced by the Military Weapons Supervisor will be able to equip twenty steel ships. By then, I will send ten thousand sailors with a large amount of food, silk, cloth, wine, and good beef jerky , refined salt, etc., go out to the sea to trade with the barbarians in Luzon Island and Tianzhu, and exchange them for gold, spices, strange wood..."

"Your Majesty, barbarian countries like Luzon Island and Tianzhu are mildly warm all year round. You might as well bring some grain and rice seeds so that the people there can grow more grain. In this way, every time the fleet goes to sea, they can take it with them from those places. Come back for some food!" Li Xuan suggested.

"good!"

"Also, Your Majesty..."

An hour later, Li Shimin left contentedly with Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others.

……

Western Regions!

Behind a hill outside Tocharian City.

Li Ji, deputy general Xue Wanche, and partial generals Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others, leading [-] Tang soldiers, looked at the banners woven with black eagles floating on the top of the city a few miles away.

All of them were beaming with joy.

After about a stick of incense, several teams of scouts returned quickly, bringing back some barbarians on horseback.

"Reporting to the Chief Officer, I found out that the big food thief army has already captured Tocharo City for several months. In the past few months, the [-] big food thief army has been guarding the Tocharo City, while searching The merchants passing by here are also going around to capture the nearby small countries."

"You can find out, how many people are there in the big food thief army in the city?"

"Go back to the chief manager, there are [-] big thieves guarding it, and another [-] big thieves have gone out to plunder the surrounding small countries and merchants!"

The scouts hurriedly reported.

"Twenty thousand troops?"

Li Ji couldn't help but look at Xue Wanche, "So, the Great Eater Army actually has [-] soldiers?"

"Exactly!"

The scout reported back.

"Boss, what should I do?" Xue Wanche asked.

Li Ji raised his head and glanced at the sky, "It won't be dark until two hours at most. There are only [-] thieves in the city. Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi, and the Thunder Army can break the city for the chief within an hour?"

"Back to the Chief Manager, half an hour is enough!"

Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi said excitedly.

Their [-]-strong army walked tens of thousands of miles along the Hexi Corridor, and at the same time they walked while concealing their whereabouts.

Now, they can finally fight!

"Half an hour later, the manager personally led the army to kill the enemy!" Li Ji said.

"Don't worry, chief executive, the city in front of you is small and loose. If the chief executive doesn't like it, you can blow it all up!" Cheng Chusi licked his lips, his eyes were bloodthirsty.

"No!"

Li Ji couldn't help but glared, and quickly explained: "This time, we are going to capture this city! Moreover, I have not encountered a large army of food when I marched all the way. However, my [-] army of the Tang Dynasty, how can we Can it stay undiscovered?
Presumably, the [-] Great Food Thief Army has already received the news at this moment, and is rushing here, preparing to join forces with the Great Food Thief Army in the city to attack my Great Tang Master!

After capturing this city, we will wait in the city for the [-] big bandit army! "

"Yes, Chief Manager!"

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others also understood Li Ji's intentions, and bowed their hands in salute.

In a prairie like the Western Regions, it is safest to stay in the city at night.

"Within half an hour, the city will definitely be destroyed!"

Immediately, they quickly began to mobilize a group of artillery battalions under their command!

After a quarter of an hour.

The Tang Dynasty's [-] troops lined up neatly in front of Tocharo City.

The big eater army on the city wall could clearly see the faces of the Tang army below, and all of them were panic-stricken immediately, and the shrill horns spread in the city of Tocharo.

The gates of the city were closed tightly, and the city walls were densely packed with Dashi soldiers all wearing armor.

Soon, Li Ji, Cheng Chusi and the others could hear a man who looked like a general shouting something incomprehensible to them.

However, there were many translators in the Tang army.

Therefore, Li Ji turned his head and asked, "What is that thief on the city wall shouting?"

"Return to the chief, the general of the thieves on the wall said he was the general of the great Arab empire, and asked why we attacked their city for no reason?" The translator behind him quickly replied.

"Pooh!"

Xue Wanche directly spat out with disdain.

Li Ji snorted coldly, and said: "Tell them, we are the master of the Great Tang Dynasty. They barbarian thieves dare to rob our Datang caravan and slaughter the people of our Datang caravan. Come to conquer them and let them quickly open the city and surrender.

Otherwise, my master of the Tang Dynasty will destroy the city in an instant, and pay homage to the spirits of those poor caravan people in my Tang Dynasty! "

"Yes, Chief Manager!"

The translator quickly picked up a huge iron horn and spoke Uri Ula on the city wall.

Although they didn't understand, Li Ji, Xue Wanche and the others could clearly see the gloomy faces of the big food thieves on the city wall.

There are even a group of big eater soldiers who have already started to draw their bows and arrows.

As for the big food thief general, he had already started roaring.

The translator looked at Li Ji with embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Boss, that big food thief is a barbarian, he doesn't know how to repent, he doesn't know how to educate, and he speaks nonsense..."

"It's okay!"

Li Ji waved his hands indifferently, and turned his head to look behind him.

"Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi, are you and the Thunder Army ready?"

"Reporting to the chief executive, a total of one hundred cannons have been adjusted!"

Reported by Li Chongyi.

"Very good!"

A cold light flashed in Li Ji's eyes. Looking at the Tocharian city wall full of Dashi soldiers in front of him, he ordered angrily.

"Three rounds of artillery, let these big thief eaters see what the power of thunder in my Tang Dynasty is!"

"Yes, Chief Manager!"

Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi embraced their orders solemnly.

Then, he stepped back.

At the same time, Li Ji also led a group of soldiers from the Chinese army to move to the two sides. In the middle of the army, a thick artillery was directly exposed. The cold light was like a giant steel beast, and it was aimed directly at Tocharo City in front of it.

what is this?
Seeing this, all the big bandit army on the city wall looked puzzled, but at the same time they were faintly uneasy.

However, they soon lost their doubts.

"boom……"

Following a loud bang, they saw puffs of blue smoke coming out of the mouths of the giant steel beasts below.

Immediately, they felt something hit their bodies or their feet.

When they lowered their heads to check, they only felt a flash of fire in front of their eyes, and they felt a huge force coming up from under their bodies, and a burst of severe pain, as if their bodies were torn apart by five horses...

As for the big food thief army standing in the distance, they all stared wide-eyed, and were directly frightened by the scene in front of them.

They just saw that the giant steel beasts of the Great Tang Army below the city let out a roar, and then spit out iron balls from their mouths, and landed on the city wall where they were.

The generals on the city wall and friends from the same country were blown away before they could react, and even the solid city wall was blown to pieces!

"Boom...boom..."

Before the surviving thieves on the city wall could react, the row of artillery muzzles below made another loud noise and smoke.

On the city wall, flames shot up into the sky again, and explosions erupted everywhere.

At this time, the big food bandits on the city wall have all been blown to pieces, and it feels like they are in hell.

The Tang army under the city wall is all devils, otherwise how could they have such a cruel and evil steel behemoth?

But at the bottom of the city, looking at the scene on the city wall, Li Ji and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all beaming with joy.

"Boom..."

With two loud bangs, the city gate of Tocharo was torn apart, and even the city wall on the gate seemed to be crumbling.

Seeing this, Li Ji's eyes flashed.

"Stop the bombardment, let the general charge, let the general manager break the city!"

"rush……"

At this time, all the big eater army on the city wall had already been bombarded by three rounds of artillery, and they were completely devastated.

Even if a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty rushed to the bottom of the tower, there were not many big eater troops to resist.

So, less than an hour.

The city of Tocharo changed hands, [-] of the [-] rebels were killed, [-] were beheaded, [-] were surrendered, [-] horses were captured, countless food and grass, and countless gold, silver and jewels of their own.

In this battle, Datang soldiers only suffered more than 100 casualties.

The morale is high!

　Take a day off tomorrow and go home :-)
