The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 606 Is Chasing Ducks to the Shelves Again

"What? Let me lead troops to suppress the Liao people?" In Li Shimin's study room, Li Muyun's eyes stared like a [-]-watt light bulb, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

Li Shimin put his head on the map without even looking at Li Muyun: "Yes, those who can fight in the court basically go to Tuyuhun and Qiangtang, and I still want to stay in Mobei and Liaodong, so there is no one in Shu." General!"

"No, then..., even if it's my turn, it won't be my turn!" Li Muyun jumped on his feet and yelled, for a moment he didn't care about being compared to Liao Hua.

In fact, when it comes to ancient cold weapon warfare, Li Muyun thinks that he is not necessarily stronger than Liao Hua, and may even be inferior to Liao Hua's Huotou army.

Because he didn't know how to conduct a cold weapon war. Besides, in the era of Tang Dynasty, there were no satellites, no navigation, and even no radio. In such a war, Li Muyun felt that the little military routines he knew might not be enough.

In some respects, Li Muyun is called self-knowledge. Although he was a killer in the previous life, it is precisely because of this that he knows that the battlefield is not so simple, especially the cold weapon war.

Cheng Yaojin, who was also lying on the edge of the map, turned his head and said with a smirk on his face, "If you don't go, whoever you are, didn't you fight well in the few battles outside Shanyin City? The first battle didn't cost a single soldier." 3000 people were captured alive with one foot, and in the second battle, [-] Xue Yantuo cavalrymen were directly smashed to death with flying stone formations, and they also earned a drag and half a Dadu set. Even if Su Lie came to fight these two battles, it may not be possible Better than you."

When Li Muyun saw that someone was talking to him, he immediately stepped forward to hold Lao Cheng back: "I said Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng, Grandpa Cheng, please help me tell His Majesty, don't let me go, the two battles outside Shanyin City are the most Surprisingly, anyway, I've spent a little longer there, and I'm fairly familiar with the terrain."

"But I've never been to the Lao people's territory at all, and I'm not familiar with the climate and folk customs there. The time and place are right and I don't want to occupy them. I went there to deliver food to those Lao people."

"Also, even if I'm a land turtle from the countryside, my life is worthless, but the soldiers who followed me are all living at the top of their families, old and young, so you just have the heart to pile them up in the fire pit?"

"The Liao people's territory is high and dense, and there are poisonous insects everywhere, leeches and leeches are everywhere. In terms of this point, our military uniforms have broad robes and long sleeves, and non-combat reductions can reach [-]%."

"In addition, those Liao people are blowing arrows and short bows, and they are also good at using poison. They don't have enough medicine and experience in fighting in mountains and forests. What is the difference between our people entering the forest and looking for death?"

"Besides, those Liao people are used to staying in the mountains. Going into the mountains is like going home. So what if we have a large army to go in? They can't beat them, and they will go to the forest, and we can't stay there permanently. In the end, I can only look at Lin Xing and sigh!"

"Hey, why don't you talk, why are you looking at me? What I said is true, the emperor, brother, brother, brother, you, don't let me go!" Li Muyun said at the end, seeing everyone Everyone turned their heads to look at him, pleading with bitter faces.

"Hey, what you said just now is very good, even non-combat reductions have been taken into account, which I didn't even think of." Hou Junji's voice came slowly, and it sounded full of gloating.

'Crack' Li Muyun looked at his own face and made a mouthful, bowing to the generals who were discussing in front of the map: "Everyone, heroes, what I just said doesn't count, you just pretend you haven't heard it, I'll start again." Say it, say it again!"

Li Shimin looked at the cowardly Li Muyun, and the more he looked, the more angry he was, his fingers almost poked into his nostrils, and he said angrily: "Fart, this is you, I gave you 1 horses, how did you bring them in? How to bring it out for me, if there is less, I will discount your dog legs!"

Li Muyun leaned back as hard as he could, trying not to let Li Er's fingers poke him, his eyes were fixed on the quivering little tongue in Li Er's throat, his face was wrinkled like a bun, finally waiting until Li Er Withdrawing his hand, Li Muyun turned around with his head drooping and walked out.

Seeing his strange behavior, Li Shimin stopped him and said, "Stop, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to say goodbye to my father, saying that I'm going to fight the savages, and I'm likely to bury my bones in a foreign land, and I won't be able to support his old man until his death..."

By the way, Li Muyun's acting skills are really not good enough. In just one sentence, two big teardrops fell silently. Coupled with his disheartened expression, people who don't know the inside story may really think that He won't live long.

Li Shimin didn't know whether he was frightened by the resentment on Li Muyun's face, or he didn't want old Li Yuan to get involved in this matter, so he gave him a hard look and said, "Okay, you kid, don't pretend, to tell you the truth, this Asking you to suppress the Liao tribe once was just a cover, and the real purpose is to let you go around in circles from the Liao people and give them a hard blow from the back of the Tubo people."

Shout out?Li Muyun pondered for a while, then shook his head again and said: "Brother Emperor, that's not okay, I, I'm just an idiot, I don't know how to fight at all, if you say to fight with Liaoren, then I can still pretend, at worst, the progress will be slower, but You asked me to sneak attack the Tubo people, isn't this meat bun beating a dog!"

Cheng Yaojin swayed over from the side and patted him on the shoulder: "But you don't have to worry too much, in fact, your task is mainly to attract the attention of the Tibetans. As long as the Tibetans are distracted, Lao Niu can find you." The opportunity will give them a hard blow, and at that time, you only need to bring your soldiers in and hand them over to Lao Niu, and you don’t need to take care of other things.”

Li Muyun sniffled, turned his head to look at Old Cheng and said, "To put it bluntly, it's just that I don't want the child to be caught by the wolves, just because I killed the six Tubo people, if the Tubo people know that I am the leader of the army, It is estimated that it must be fried."

"So, this mission is up to you. If it is someone else, it is very likely that they will not be able to complete the mission." Hou Junji was still the same, taking pleasure in others' misfortune, and he didn't know what was going on with this old man.

But at this time, Li Muyun also saw clearly that he had to go or not to go about today's matter, these old guys didn't leave him any room for maneuver.

Having figured this out, he simply gave up struggling and sighed: "Okay, you are all my ancestors! I'll go, can I make it?! But let's talk about the ugly things first, let me go, equipment or something If you want me to choose, I will also choose soldiers, otherwise I will go out immediately and break my legs, and then whoever loves will go!"

Li Shimin didn't seem to want to push too hard, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will do as you say! If you need anything, go back and send a note to the Ministry of War, and I will let Junji fully cooperate with you."

Junji?Li Muyun looked at the little old man who was standing aside with a smirk on his face, and thought that Junji would already be Minister of War at this time.

Hou Junji looked at him, and said with a smile: "You kid, you should think about it. If you hand over the note with a palm-sized piece of paper, be careful, I will bring the whole army to your house to stay for a few days."

Well, this is meeting an old hooligan, Li Muyun had no choice but to bow his hands willingly: "Master Hou is joking, no matter how stupid I am, it is impossible for me to do such a wicked thing."

Seeing that the matter was almost finished, Li Shimin waved his hand at Li Muyun: "Okay, let's go, go back in a few days and make preparations, and leave in ten days."

Ten days, that is, the time of ten days, in other words, ten days, that is to say, Li Muyun only has ten days to prepare, and when ten days are reached, no matter whether he is ready or not, he must set off, the military order is like a mountain!

But having said that, when Li Muyun walked out of Liangyi Hall and Li Er's study, he was stunned. When he came, the old dragon brought a carriage to pick him up, but what should he do when he goes back?This ass is still wounded, if you walk all the way back, you have to get out of the anal fissure.

After thinking for a while, Li Muyun thought that this matter should be paid by the father and the son. Li Er got himself into the palace and left him alone, so he went to find his son.

Li Chengqian has also had a big head during this period, and for no apparent reason, he has been given the job of the chairman of the religious management committee, but he doesn't know what this committee does. He has to deal with monks and priests who keep coming to his door every day, and he scolds Li Muyun bloody in his heart. .

So when he saw Li Muyun Shiran come in, he immediately became angry and pointed to a Taoist priest beside him: "Uncle Muyun came just in time, Daoist Yuan came to me today for the management committee's affairs. Gong, are you here to listen too?"

Li Muyun, who was full of lawsuits, nodded to the so-called Daoist Yuan, and then said casually: "I won't listen, and it doesn't have much to do with me, as long as I return all the land in my fief."

But the old Taoist surnamed Yuan frowned, glanced at Li Muyun and said, "Where did Prince Xiaoyao start talking about?"

Li Muyun glanced sideways at the Taoist priest, and said angrily: "Where do we start? You don't know what happened to the land in Lao Tzu's fief? All the people under Lao Tzu's rule have become tenants of Taoism and Buddhism. Did I make it up? The fertile land has become the private property of your Taoist and Buddhist schools, where do you ask me to collect taxes!"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Muyun in astonishment, as if he didn't know him, and the old man surnamed Yuan also looked at him with a strange look, as if he was looking at a monster.

Li Muyun was furious from being stared at, and yelled, "What are you looking at, I'm wrong!"

Before Yuan Laodao could speak, Li Chengqian had already jumped up: "No, Li Muyun, you pushed me to the position of the chairman of this religious education committee, maybe you just want to get back those land deeds?"

Li Muyun saw that something seemed wrong, so he immediately changed his words: "It's nothing, the main reason why you were pushed to this position is to implement the plan of all-in-one food payment, but this matter is quite troublesome, let's talk about it later when we have time .”

However, none of the people present were fools, and when the four words "one body accepts grain" were spoken, both Li Chengqian and Yuan Laodao's expressions changed. Without Li Muyun's explanation, they had basically guessed the meaning.

The difference is that Yuan Laodao's face became very ugly, while Li Chengqian's face was full of surprise and joy.

The meaning of one-body payment is simple and clear, that is, no distinction is made between high and low, as long as you have a land deed, you will pay according to the standard, no matter whether you are Buddhist or Taoist, or even those high-ranking and aristocratic families.

From the standpoint of the Tang government, Li Chengqian is naturally happy to hear this, but Yuan Laodao, who is the representative of the Taoist sect, is different, because originally the Taoist sects are monks, and they do not need to pay food, but according to what Li Muyun said. , they still have to pay food tax, which is a big loss for them.

After all, they have now collected the common people's land property, and the standard given is [-] tax one, that is, the common people give the land deeds to Buddhism and Taoism, and then they are still farming on the previous land, but the tax paid by the common people is less than before half.

But for the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, they don't have many people themselves, and the food collected from the [-]th tax is enough for them to eat, and they can even sell some in exchange for money.

In this way, whether it is for Buddhism, Taoism or the common people, it is a win-win situation, and only the court of the Tang Dynasty suffers.

And if they follow Li Muyun's one-body tax payment plan, that is to say, Buddhism and Taoism also need to pay one tax per ten taxes according to the Tang Dynasty's standard, then if they use another twenty taxes per tax to collect taxes from the people, they will directly lose half.

It means that the more land they have, the more they will suffer, while the court will have no loss, because the government only needs to collect taxes according to the land deed, and it doesn't matter who owns the land.

At this point in the matter, Yuan Laodao couldn't sit still any longer. After he got up and said goodbye to Li Chengqian, he turned around and left, apparently planning to go back to discuss countermeasures.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, looked at Li Muyun helplessly, and waited until Yuan Laodao could no longer see his shadow, then slowly said: "I said Li Muyun, are you really stupid or fake? Why don't you tell me in advance about this kind of thing, Now that's all right, if Yuan Tiangang knows the news, I'm afraid he will find a way to deal with us immediately after returning."

Li Muyun paused when he heard the words, turned back to look in the direction of the gate and said in a dull voice: "Yuan Tiangang? Is that the old man just now? It doesn't look like it. I thought Yuan Tiangang was an old man."

"I said what the hell are you thinking, what I'm talking about is what needs to be done right now, then Yuan Laodao ordered to go back and find a way to deal with us, you don't know it!"

Li Muyun rolled his eyes, leaned against the wall and moaned: "It's clear, it's very clear, but you're a prince, and if you're afraid they'll mess with you, your six-point rate is just a display! If you dare to find trouble, you can fuck him and kill everyone." Criticize, fight a group, and win another group, I don’t believe that they are monolithic, and none of them are afraid of death.”

Facing Li Muyun's nonsense, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, sighed and complained while asking: "If only it were as easy as you said. Okay, let's not talk about this matter first, you fuck me." What are you doing here?"
