Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 260

When Li Er received the news that Wang Gui was forced to commit suicide, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly: "This kid, you really must take revenge..."

Immediately ordered: "Come here! Inform Taiyuan and let them pay attention to the reaction of the Wang family at any time. If there is something wrong, immediately suppress it."

With just one royal family, Li Shimin really has nothing to fear.

Taiyuan itself is the base camp where their Li family made their fortune.Li Shimin really didn't care about raising troops to rebel in Taiyuan.

There's no way, he has to wipe his ass for Cheng Chuli's rectification.

What's more, what Cheng Chuli did was very much in line with his wishes.

Only the next day, the rumors of insulting Cheng Chuli in Chang'an suddenly disappeared.

But Cheng Chuli didn't care about these things at all.

At this time, he saw something on a certain treasure that made him drool.A giant ship with combat capabilities.

With this gadget, playing an island country is no longer a dream!

In his previous life, he saw a strange message on the Internet.It is said that the island country is really protected by a great god.

Back then, Genghis Khan dominated the whole of Asia, but he just couldn't conquer a small island country.

Why?Is he not going to fight?In fact, on the contrary, he not only fought, but fought twice.

For the first time, he sent a fleet.Almost when the island country was brought down, a wind blew up on the sea, and all his fleet was overturned.

At that time, someone said that this small island country must be blessed by gods.Otherwise, such a coincidence would not have happened.

Genghis Khan would definitely not believe it!For the second time, another fleet was sent, vowing to bring down this small island country.

It's not that he wants this island country so much, but that he can't afford to lose this face!

As a result, just when he was almost knocking down the island country, the wind blew up again, and his fleet was overturned again.

Things, he is such a coincidence, you say it's weird or not?

Cheng Chuli didn't believe in this evil either. After seeing this huge ship, he had the idea of ​​destroying this island country.

Don't ask him why, asking is to get rid of it, it's as simple as that.

However, this giant ship is too expensive.A full 5000 million Kaiyuan Tongbao is needed.

This money is simply not something that Cheng Chuli can afford.Even Li Er still couldn't afford it.

If only.If he earns slowly like this, he doesn't know how long he will have to earn before he can afford it.

5000 million coins!In order to fight a small island country, this price is a bit high.

But looking back, if he could take down the island country, he would still be able to make money, because he knew that the island country had gold mines.There is lots and lots of gold.

Forehead?gold?

At this moment, Cheng Chuli had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something.

Kaiyuan Tongbao, isn't Kaiyuan Tongbao just copper?
Copper, it seems that our country is not short of it?
Yes, if you want copper, find Dexing!

Thinking of this, Cheng Chu immediately bought some information about the copper mine in a certain treasure.It was easy to find the specific location of the Dexing Copper Mine.

"hey-hey……"

Make money, make money, make ass money, isn’t it good to dig money directly?

According to Datang's current copper reserves, digging out a huge ship is not a joke.

Cheng Chuli laughed, and shouted loudly towards the outside: "Brother Hunter, Fourth Junior Brother, prepare the car, let's go into the palace."

When Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui heard the words, they immediately ran to drive.

Soon, Cheng Chuli's motorcade arrived at the palace.The sound of gunshots was heard in the distance.

Cheng Chuli said: "Brother Hunter, you don't need to go to the Ganlu Palace, go directly to the Daxiaochang!"

That's right, after Li Shimin got the gun, he stayed in the big school grounds to practice guns all day long.

No way, as a horse emperor, he really has no resistance to guns.

Sure enough, after Cheng Chuli's convoy arrived at the Dajiao Field, they found Li Shimin here.

Of course, besides Li Shimin, there are more than a dozen senior bosses.

All these senior bosses who accompany Li Shimin to review memorials are all here.

As soon as he heard that Cheng Chuli was coming, Li Shimin cried out from afar.

"Boy, here and here. I said you boy, how come you come to the palace to find me when you have time? Can't you take those corns and potatoes?"

Cheng Chuli ran up with Xue Rengui and Li Chengqian, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, are you thinking about my corn and potatoes?"

Li Er didn't blush, and said directly: "Can I not worry about it? Those are the hopes of my Tang Dynasty, you boy, don't let me lose the chain at critical times."

Cheng Chuli rolled his eyes at him and said, "Boy, when did I ever fall off the chain?"

"That's true. Your kid always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Tell me, what is the purpose of coming to the palace this time?"

Cheng Chuli pulled Li Shimin aside.After looking around and seeing that no one could hear their words, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I'm here today to tell you good news."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said cheerfully: "You boy, what good news do you have? It's so secretive, tell me quickly."

Cheng Chuli said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want gold? Lots and lots of gold."

Li Shimin was taken aback, and immediately lowered his voice and asked, "What's the situation? Where is the gold?"

Cheng Chuli said: "Island country, that little island country owns half of the world's gold."

In fact, Cheng Chuli didn't know how many things happened, anyway, it's right to fool around to death.

"What?"

Sure enough, when Li Er heard the words, his eyes immediately widened, staring round and round.

Cheng Chuli said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, believe me, there is indeed a lot of gold in that place, but they don't know it yet. If we get that place, the boy will definitely dig out the gold for you."

"This."

Li Er was speechless immediately.

"Boy, that place is separated from our Great Tang by a vast sea! How could we possibly defeat it?"

Damn, isn't this tantalizing?
Li Shimin really wanted to scold his mother.

It's okay if you don't say it, but if you say it, doesn't it make you feel itchy all day long?
Seeing that Li Shimin was playing tricks, Cheng Chuli lowered his voice and said with a strange smile: "Your Majesty, I can buy a big ship from the God Realm. It's like playing with tens of thousands of troops at once."

"what?"

Li Shimin was shocked.I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak.

"Boy, what do you mean? Say it quickly."

Cheng Chuli said: "We need money, we need a lot of money."

"How much do you need?"

Li Shimin asked.

There is such a thing, no matter how much it costs, you will buy it!
With such an artifact, let's not talk about fighting the island country.Datang became the overlord of the sea in an instant, and Li Shimin felt like a bright mirror in his heart.

Cheng Chuli said: "5000 million guan."

"What? 5000 million... money?"

Li Shimin was dumbfounded in an instant, he thought that Cheng Chuli dared to come and tell him.The money in his hand must be able to afford it!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chuli reported an astronomical figure.

Let's do the math, how much does 5000 million Kaiyuan Tongbao weigh?The standard weight of Yiguanqian is six catties and four taels.

The 5000 million Kaiyuan Tongbao is 320000000 million catties, or 16 tons.

My God, this weight alone can directly build a ship.

Li Shimin is very confused, so much money, it is useless for you to come to me!

He didn't know that this time, Cheng Chuli was very conscientious and didn't take any money from him.If Cheng Chuli doubled it for him, would he vomit blood?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, listen to me. Isn't Kaiyuan Tongbao just copper? Boy, I know where there is copper, a lot of copper. As long as you find someone to dig it, 5000 million copper is only a matter of a few months."

Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly again: "What you said is true."

"Of course."

As Cheng Chuli spoke, he took out a map and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of copper in the places I marked on this map, as long as you send someone to dig it, Your Majesty."

Some people want to ask, why not just dig for gold and silver?

Regarding this point, Cheng Chuli also has considerations, gold and silver are really too precious, he doesn't want to be eaten by a certain treasure.

Then again, because gold and silver are so rare, the value of dug out is not necessarily higher than that of copper with the same workload.

Besides, in this era, 16 tons of copper is used to buy a giant ship.Definitely worth it.

Li Shimin opened the map in his hand and looked at it, and finally found it sadly.He still couldn't understand it.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chuli with resentment, you kid, did you do it on purpose?

Cheng Chuli was wronged, how did I do it on purpose, I don't understand Datang's characters at all, okay?

Cheng Chuli said: "Your Majesty, don't read it yet, I will ask Li You to translate it for you later. Just say, do you want to dig this copper?"

"Dig, you must dig!" Li Shimin said firmly.

"Okay, then mint coins while digging. As long as the money comes out, we will buy a big ship to go there, occupy the island country, and then start digging for gold."

Excited to think about this!
However, Li Shimin's face quickly became gloomy again.

Cheng Chuli didn't know how to ask: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shimin said: "Your plan for digging copper is very good. However, our Tang Dynasty has a small population, and if we recruit peasants to dig mines, who will plant this field?"

Cheng Chuli said: "What about those prisoners in our Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty, you don't want to continue to support those prisoners like Wei Zheng, do you? If you do this, everyone wants to go to jail."

What Cheng Chuli said was really not an exaggeration. Outside, if you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, you might as well go to jail!

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chuli: "You mean?"

"That's right, let them go to reform through labor. If they behave well, their sentences will be commuted. As for those on death row, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should not be killed will be sent to reform through labor. Let them rely on themselves, support themselves, and at the same time Generate income for the country. Going to jail means eating and sleeping, who doesn’t want to go to jail? This is condoning crime.”

Li Shimin said with some embarrassment: "However, this proposal may not pass in the court!"

Cheng Chuli said helplessly: "Your Majesty, people of Confucianism cannot govern a country. If possible, Your Majesty should use more Legalists! A country must have laws, and laws must be followed. Only a healthy set of laws can be formed. Only then can we rule the country and bring peace to the world.”

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chuli in shock.

What Cheng Chuli said was simply outrageous.Because Li Shimin also read the books of sages and sages, and believed in Confucianism.

If it was someone else, he would definitely be drawn.

It's a pity that the other party is Cheng Chuli, so Li Ercai restrained himself.

Cheng Chuli smiled and said: "It's just chatting, the emperor doesn't need to be angry. Think about it, your majesty, after there is a law to follow. Do you still need to bring it to the court for such a matter? Just follow the law."

"There is a law to follow, can those censors still bullshit in the court all day long? And you, the emperor, still need to get up earlier than the chicken and sleep later than the dog every day? As the king of a country, you only need to Just grasp the general direction, why make yourself so tired?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression softened a lot.

In fact, although Li Shimin also read the books of sages, he is an emperor, he knows the art of emperors, and he is a person with great wisdom.Not a diehard fan of Confucianism.

The reason why Li Shimin in history was so bad is because he was easy to be fooled, and he was limped by the Confucian gang.

The real Li Shimin in history is really not very good.Where can a person who can be fooled by the Confucian gang to kill his brother and imprison his father to seize the throne?
We don't believe in the bragging of the Confucian gang. In fact, people who can be bragged by the Confucian gang are not very good.

In terms of character, Li Shimin must be the most trashy one.

In terms of achievements, let alone compare with Li Yuan.He is far behind his son Li Zhibi.

He even failed to be a father.

Because Li Shimin's reputation is too big and too loud, we all ignored the real master in Chutang.That is Li Shimin's father Li Yuan.

Because Li Shimin's name is so famous, we all thought that Li Yuan's world was won by Li Shimin with his help.

Those who think this way are very wrong. In the whole world, there is no founding king who is simple.

Especially in the troubled times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when heroes came out in large numbers and a hundred schools of thought contended, it would be even more difficult for those who counterattacked and became emperors.

Without a strong backing, without a powerful figure controlling the general direction.Can Li Shimin jump up?
If it is said that there are many people who can fight in history.How is Yue Fei?Li Shimin is far behind him.

But what happened to Yue Fei in the end?It's because his master is too bad.

Having said that, if Yue Fei had a master like Li Yuan.What will happen?
Therefore, the most powerful person in the early Tang Dynasty was not Li Shimin, but Li Yuan.

It is impossible for a son taught by such an awesome person to be a mediocre person.

Does it feel a bit inconsistent?

Well, that's the contradiction.To sum up, although Li Shimin is not very good, he is not mediocre.

But there is one characteristic that he can't escape, and that is trust and deceit.

Cheng Chuli dared to say these words in front of him precisely because he knew that he had such a characteristic.

Isn't it just fooling around!That was Cheng Chuli's strong point.

So, after hearing Cheng Chuli's words, Li Shimin's face softened.

In Li Er's cognition, as long as the country can be governed well, does he care if you are Confucianism or what?

Cheng Chuli saw that his face had softened, and continued to flicker: "Your Majesty, think about it, these prisoners are all strong and strong, and letting them dig mines will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! In this way, mining and farming are not the same thing. Wrong, how good it is!"

"Besides, if you want to get more things in the God Realm, Your Majesty, the 10,000+ tons of copper alone will definitely not be enough. If you are not able to overcome the crowd's opinions, make a decisive move. How long will we have to wait for the gold of this island country?" What year and month can I get it?"

"it is good."

Hearing this, Li Shimin said decisively: "I will leave this matter to you. As long as there is copper in the places you mentioned, you will give me one year. I will definitely get you 16 tons of copper. "

"Okay, as long as you can get 16 tons of copper, I will help you grab gold, boy."

Well, these two militants got together for a few minutes, and the end of the island country was already determined.

After finishing talking about this matter, Cheng Chuli said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this matter is over. Well, the matter of [-] teams equipped with hot weapons, can the Emperor honor it?"

Li Shimin froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"You boy, you came to ask me for the bill today, right? Okay, tell me, how much is it? Wait a minute and I will personally take you to the internal funds to get it."

"hey-hey……"

Cheng Chuli said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it's not about the money. The most important thing is that these people still need time to train when they get the guns! If we don't hurry up, it may be too late."

In fact, the pace of life in the Tang Dynasty was very slow.Therefore, it was not that Li Shimin procrastinated on purpose.

Even if Tubo really wanted to send troops, it would take less than two months from the negotiation to the actual sending of troops to entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it would be impossible.

Li Shimin thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, I will now appoint your father Cheng Zhijie as the chief commander of the Shannan West Road March, and you as the deputy commander. I will hand over your [-] troops. Starting tomorrow, you will conduct drills on them. "

Cheng Chuli quickly said: "No, no, Your Majesty, I'll just take my [-] troops from Chengjia Village and set off. It must be too late to start practicing now."

"What? You took them all away, what about Wannian Co., Ltd.?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin's words were really not nonsense. Everyone thought that as long as Li Shimin sent someone over to check it, it would be fine.

The problem is to send people over again, what will happen when Cheng Chuli brings people back?
Now, which army would not want to come to Wannian Co., Ltd. as a security guard?

When people come, they will be told to leave again when the time comes.Who wants it?

Cheng Chuli said: "Don't you have the emperor? You are the biggest shareholder, can't you keep a company? Even if you can't keep the emperor, isn't there still the emperor? In fact, the Wannian Co., Ltd. doesn't need to send troops at all. Garrison. Isn't it?"

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.

Just now he also thought about it all of a sudden.This [-]-strong army came to Wannian Co., Ltd., and they were not supposed to be security guards for the company.It was protected by Cheng Chuli.

Now, what does it matter if Cheng Chuli took him away?
