Man Tanghong

Chapter 687 The Outrageous Battle (35)

Li Shimin's face changed six times in an instant. He was shocked by what Li Yuanji said, and also by the courage displayed by Li Yuanji, and even expressed doubts about the courage displayed by Li Yuanji.

All in all, his mind was already in a mess, and he was unable to distinguish the truth of what Li Yuanji said, nor could he distinguish whether Li Yuanji's idea could be realized, and whether he could achieve what Li Yuanji said after it was realized. .

Li Yuanji didn't care about Li Shimin's reaction at all, and continued on his own: "Do you know why I want that position suddenly? It's because of them and the people in the world.

I know very well where the limit of my ability is, and I also know that after you and your eldest brother go up, you will definitely be able to do better than me, but there is one thing I can do better than you, that is, I will treat them as human beings, and I will try my best to make them live like human beings. "

Li Shimin stood there with a complicated expression, without saying a word.

Obviously these words had a great impact on him, and he was digesting them.

Li Yuanji stood up, and quietly said: "Please sincerely beg my father in my heart, please don't pass on that position to me. In this case, whether your son or the eldest brother's son, you will have the opportunity to sit in that position." Location.

If my father passes on that position to me, then that position can only be circulated in my Prince Qi Palace in the future.

I will still implement the strategy of sitting in that position for ten years and stepping down after 20 years, but the successor must be my son, and he will only circulate among my children and grandchildren in the future. "

After saying this, Li Yuanji didn't talk to Li Shimin anymore, but shouted loudly to Yu Wenbao who was standing guard in the distance, "Go tell Changsun Shunde, let him send someone to see Chen Shuda immediately, let Chen Shuda and Li Gang from Chang'an wait for you." People try to make a batch of yuan clothes as soon as possible.

Not looking good, just keeping warm.

When necessary, they can simply invite the women and children of Sansuke to participate in the form of tax relief.

I hope that after a month, I will see all the soldiers in the army put on Yuanyi. "

Yu Wenbao didn't care what kind of uproar this order would cause after it was passed on, and he didn't care how much impact this order would have on Datang.

All he knew was that since Li Yuanji had already given the order, he had to convey it verbatim.

"Let the Huotou camp in the army slaughter all the cattle and sheep seized this time, cook the beef and mutton to feed the soldiers, and make the fur into leather clothes for the soldiers to wear as soon as possible."

Li Yuanji continued to give orders.

Although a piece of good leather needs a long process from picking it up to making it into a leather jacket.

However, if most of the links in the middle are abandoned, a batch of temporary cold clothes can still be produced in a very short period of time.

As for whether it can be used in the future, and how long it can be used, it is no longer within the scope of consideration.

In this kind of weather where people's noses, ears, fingers and toes would be frozen at every turn, as long as a temporarily made fur could ensure that a soldier would not be frozen to death, it would be considered a profit.

As for such a waste of cattle and sheep, such a waste of leather goods, Datang will suffer a lot of losses, Li Yuanji doesn't care at all.

What is Datang most lacking now?
D.

One more soldier will have one more family after more than ten years, and one more family after many years.

Today, Datang has only 3 million people, but it occupies enough land and resources to support hundreds of millions of people. It really doesn't need to be too economical.

Especially when it comes to non-food stuff.

If it is wasted, it is wasted. It is better than exchanging few human lives for resources.

As long as the population of Datang can increase, the resources that Datang is wasting now are not waste at all, and can be recovered hundreds of times or thousands of times in the future.

If the population not only did not increase, but also began to decline, then no matter how much resources Datang accumulated, it would be useless.

Everything is born to nourish people.

What is the meaning of all things to people if there is no one?

So we should kill cattle and sheep, we should cut down trees, and if we can’t, we should kill tigers, leopards and pandas.

As long as it is not on the battlefield, any Dingkou of Datang needs to be well maintained and cherished.

There is no way to fight a war, people are bullying to the door, not only want you to bow your head, but also want your money, food, and your wife and daughter, if you don't fight back, you will be bullied forever.

So even if there are not many Dingkou in Datang, the battle that should be fought must be fought.

But apart from fighting, we must cherish every bit of Datang.

Li Shentong couldn't understand Li Yuanji's absurd and unbelievable order, and Li Deliang, Li Daoli, and even Changsun Shunde couldn't understand it.

But that's what Li Yuanji wanted to do, and his attitude was extremely tough.

After Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin lost their authority, and started to stare blankly in the tent, no one could persuade Li Yuanji, and no one could stop Li Yuanji's order from being passed on.

Therefore, while eating meat with a bowl, the soldiers wrapped in rough fur fur secretly said that Li Yuanji was a prodigal son, and that Li Yuanji was committing crimes soon appeared.

There are quite a few such scenes, and as many as [-]% of people say such things.

The wind whispered in Li Yuanji's ears almost all the time.

Yu Wenbao is very worthless for his lord. Obviously, his lord can't bear to see those cheap leather children who look like turtle grandchildren, so he kindly lets them eat meat and wear furs, but they don't appreciate it. He secretly said that his lord was prodigal and committed crimes.

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Indignantly, Yu Wenbao broke into the Chinese army tent.

While flipping through the battle report from Suizhou, Li Yuanji asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Who made our General Yuwen angry?"

Yu Wenbao blew his beard and stared and shouted: "Your Highness, you killed so many cattle and sheep, let them eat meat, and let them wear good leather. It's fine if they don't appreciate it, but you are still here." Chewing your tongue behind your back is simply unreasonable."

Li Yuanji smiled indifferently and said: "They have little knowledge, that's how they are. From their point of view, it doesn't matter if they are frozen, and those cattle and sheep can be kept, and they can be sold for a lot of money when they return to Chang'an City.

The money from the sale can help the family buy some good farm tools and even some new clothes for the family, so they think I am a prodigal.

But I know very well that they will not survive the freezing, and if they continue to freeze, they may die.

So it has to be done. "

I don't know if the people in the Central Plains have suffered too much, or what happened. Many times, the people in the Central Plains value goods, cattle and sheep more than themselves.

Those who would spare their lives for wealth and those who would spare their lives for cattle and sheep abound.

If it is said that during the busy season of farming every year, the people in the Central Plains offer up their livestock as their ancestors to thank them for their hard work, then for a little silver, they freeze themselves to death, and they are reluctant to eat beef and mutton, and wear cow and sheepskin , it is difficult to understand.

Especially this kind of matter that they don't need money to let them eat beef and mutton, and wear cow and sheep skin, they still have to make irresponsible remarks, which is even more difficult for people to understand.

Yu Wenbao walked out angrily, "I'm going to explain it to them, and let them say something about His Highness. If anyone dares to chew His Highness's tongue again, I will peel off his skin!"

Li Yuanji smiled and shook his head, "No need!"

Many times, the people of the Central Plains regard eating and drinking royal food as the right thing to do.

Because in the eyes of the people in the Central Plains, everything in the royal family is made by them. If they are working hard for the royal family, then eating and drinking royal things will be more confident.

The reason why they make irresponsible remarks about this kind of prodigal behavior is not that they don't know that it is for their own good, and they don't know how to be grateful.

It's that they are used to digging and searching, they are used to frugality, they are used to suffering themselves, and they can't understand this kind of extravagant behavior.

So in addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, you must criticize it.

How can they show their frugality without criticism, and how can they make them feel balanced?

So this kind of critical behavior is actually demonstrating the envy and jealousy in my heart, and it is also self-comforting, trying to find a balance for myself.

So there is no need to tell them that this is done to pity them and for their own good.

You really don't know that you are doing good for others when they hold beef and mutton in their hands and wear cow and sheep skins on their bodies?

He has got all the benefits and really felt it. Does he know that you are treating him well?
But people still have to criticize what they should criticize.

When helping you with your strength, you can give [-] points even with a lot of effort.

He even risked his life to help you.

This is how people reward you, but they don't say it, and they don't say it.

This is also the way people in the Central Plains express their feelings, they can only do it, they can't say it.

Therefore, people from the Central Plains are less romantic than people from many places outside the region.

When cultures from outside the region frantically flooded into the Central Plains, the romance of the Central Plains people seemed extraordinarily clumsy, and it was not even considered romantic.

In the eyes of outsiders, a bouquet of flowers, a small gift, a small surprise, or even sweet words are romantic and the way to express feelings.

But in the eyes of the Central Plains people, when they go up the mountain, they help their wives pick animal feathers, help their children pick wild fruits, and help their parents chop a cane, that is romance.

When going to sea, bring sea vegetables for your wife and small fish and shrimps for your children, that is romance.

When working, it is also romantic to bring hairpins for the wife, various snacks for the children, and various snacks for the parents.

People from the Central Plains pay more attention to reality, while outsiders are more superficial.

However, when foreign cultures raged wildly in the Central Plains, the practical romance of the Central Plains people was quickly ignored, and the superficial romance began to prevail instead.

At this time, the men in the Central Plains looked very sad.

Be blamed by everyone for not understanding romance.

But romance has long been implanted by the ancestors into every aspect of life, into all the details of life, and many people also regard it as a part of life.

When outsiders define romance without including it, no one thinks it is romance.

The ancestors clearly told the descendants that "holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son" is the ultimate romance, and also clearly told the descendants that "same bed for life and same acupoint for death" is the ultimate romance.

But there are not many people in future generations who pursue them.

Therefore, people from the Central Plains who can only do things but not talk are respectable, but also sad.

That's why Yu Wenbao misunderstood that the soldiers don't know how to be grateful, and they want to chew their tongues.

Li Yuanji believed that when they went to the battlefield, they would prove with practical actions that they were grateful, but they didn't bother to talk about it.
