Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 646 Zhenguan's first five-year plan

The journey of a fast horse within one day represents absolute control, and the distance traveled within seven days represents good control.When the distance is more than one month away, there is nothing you can do, and you can only manage it with both kindness and power.

"In ten years, I can send an army to the Western Turkic Yazhang within five days and five nights, and to Yanzhou in two days and one night. However, the annual output of only one Iwami Yinshan is far from meeting the needs of this plan. coin."

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and nodded slightly: "Continuously expand, constantly increase the amount of goods exported in exchange for coins, and constantly increase the wealth of Datang. Only in this way can there be enough coins available."

"What I want to say is this. There must be trade in Eastern Rome, and the profits must be large enough. In fact, the people are rich, and the people will spend money. The money is buried under the tree in the back garden, that is A pot of copper and iron can only be called money when it is spent.”

"Well, it makes sense. Datang's current annual treasury income is almost 400 million guan, and 900 million guan can actually be used. The rest of the money is also used to build bridges, roads, raise troops, and support officials."

Liu Mu said: "Why don't we make a small plan first, and see if the revenue of Datang's treasury can reach 5000 or [-] million in five years?"

What Liu Mu said is not nonsense. When the Tang Dynasty really reached its peak, that is, in the era of Wu Zetian, the annual income was 400 million guan. These were calculated by converting grain, silk, etc. into money.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has never recovered, and at most it reached 200 million guan.

The five-year plan is to reach a total financial income of 3000 million yuan. Liu Mu thinks it seems possible to work hard.

Li Shimin also believes that it is possible to plan well in five years to double the revenue of the national treasury. It is not impossible, but it is necessary to have a good plan and implement it carefully by the state governments.

"A five-year plan for the first year of Zhenguan." Liu Mu suggested.

"Okay, it's called the five-year plan. This matter needs to be discussed carefully. As far as you propose to try direct trade with East Rome, it will take up to three months. Suitable people will be sent to Huating, and you will make specific arrangements at that time. Also, if you are going to Jiangnan, hurry up, if Zhijie knows you are back, he will definitely block you at home."

"Why?" Liu Mu was puzzled.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "It's not for the elite soldiers and the military equipment."

When Li Shimin talked about what happened in the Tai Chi Hall that day, Liu Mu also smiled: "Don't he know that there is also a training camp for auxiliary soldiers and heavy soldiers in Gaoling County selected from the government soldiers?"

"I didn't tell him that he can make troubles in Chang'an even if he has nothing to do. If he makes troubles, nothing else will happen. Next year, I plan to send Shubao to go north, and he will be responsible for spying on, splitting up, and alienating Xieli's troops. Arrange for Li Yaoshi to be the Marshal of the Right Route, and Li Ji to be the Marshal of the Left Route, and start planning to destroy Jieli, within two years or as long as four years, Jieli must be destroyed."

Li Shimin has hated Xieli for many years. Now that the Tang Dynasty has a strong national power, and the voices against Xieli on the grassland are getting louder and louder, it is not appropriate to fight immediately, but it is still possible to start some effective military deployments against Xieli. necessary.

Li Shimin said to Liu Mu again: "Next year, if there is no suitable manpower, you will stay in Chang'an. After most of the troops in Guanzhong go north, Shence Guard will be the security guarantee for Chang'an."

"Second brother, Shence Guards are not used to fight, and it's boring to look good. With Shence Guards, they can support at least 15 troops. This way, the logistical pressure will be reduced, and the casualty rate will be reduced several times."

"Let's discuss again, don't bring it up again." Li Shimin didn't intend to discuss this topic with Liu Mu.

The strongest army will definitely stay in Chang'an to guard. This is not only Li Shimin, but it can be said to be the consensus of the entire court.

Liu Mu wanted to persuade him again, but Li Shimin only said: "I will consider your opinion, but this is a very important matter, and it needs to be discussed by the court."

Willow couldn't say anything more.

That night, Li Shimin personally sent Liu Mu and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan on a boat to the south.

On the pier, Li Shimin said to Liu Mu: "Huayuan County is still a restricted area. Second brother, I will not go to see it, nor will I send someone to look at it. The less people who know about Huayuan County, the better. Next year, second brother wait."

"Second brother, I will be back before the New Year. There will be many interesting things during the New Year, such as those who bought the shares of the company can enjoy the first dividend. This will probably make the people of Chang'an happy for a long time."

"A good thing, indeed a good thing. During the New Year, the second brother will wait for you to come back."

After Li Shimin and Liu Mu finished talking, they chatted with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan for a while. When everything was ready on board, Li Shimin was about to help Li Yuan get on the boat, but was pushed away by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan thought that he was not old enough to even go up the ship ladder.

When Cheng Yaojin got the news, Liumu's official ship had already passed Tongguan.

Even if Cheng Yaojin scolded him for two days in Chang'an, Liu Mu would not hear him.

The fleet consists of two main ships and six auxiliary ships.It can be said that the Great Tang Emperor brought all the main concubines of the harem with him, leaving only the servants and maidservants in Longqingfang.

Liu Mu sat alone on the bow of the boat, holding a list in his hand and repeating it repeatedly.

There are a total of 20 people with books in Li Yuan's harem, and Empress Dou has passed away, and there are 19 people left.The highest status is Concubine Wan Gui, and the lowest status is a woman surnamed Zhang, who doesn't have any title yet, barely considered one of the concubines.

In the main storehouse, Li Yuan had already ordered people to prepare food and drinks, but Liu Mu hadn't come over for a long time.After asking Peng Hai, he went to the bow of the boat in person, where Liu Mu was looking at the list intently.

Li Yuan didn't feel close to Liu Mu. Li Yuan glanced at the list in Liu Mu's hand, snatched it, tore it up, and threw it into the canal.

"Father." Liu Mu hurriedly saluted.

Li Yuan looked at the piece of paper floating in the wind with his hands behind his back and said to Liu Mu: "In the harem for my father, there are still 13 old people. Except for the two who died unexpectedly, Yin and Zhang died. The new two , one is from your Hedong Liu family, and the other is from Qinghe Cui family."

Liu Mu didn't ask why Yin and Zhang were granted death, Liu Mu didn't want to know about the harem.

There are records in the unofficial history that these two had an affair with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.Liu Mu didn't believe that it was impossible for such a thing to happen in the Great Tang Taiji Palace, unless [-]% of Peng Hai's hands were completely facing Li Jiancheng.

Peng Hai and Li Jiancheng were not on the right track at all, so such a thing had been discovered long ago.

It can only be said that there may be some kind of conspiracy between them.

Li Yuan said again: "You don't need to remember who these people are. With a father, no one dares to show you face. So you don't need to deliberately please them and prepare gifts for them."
