Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 111 Winning Honglu Temple

Although Changsun Wuji didn't understand why Li Tai was so generous, he didn't take advantage of the bastard.

After all, Changsun Wuji is an aristocrat of Guanlong, and the aristocrats of this place in Guanlong can get their title of nobility with hard enough fists.

Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were basically people called Kansai barbarians.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji should give the money or give the money, but he hopes to send someone to supervise, and Li Tai naturally has no objection.

After all, when this person comes over, he will be able to work alone. You must know that most people who can work in this world are in aristocratic families.

Finally, Changsun Wuji was willing to give himself one, but he would be an idiot if he refused.

When Changsun Wuji, his relative, finished running, Li Tai didn't even eat lunch, and went directly to Li Daozong.

To be honest, since Li Tai asked Li Daozong to help send some bad guards to Gaoling, the relationship between the two parties is still very good.

Li Tai would also take the initiative to send gifts to Li Daozong every year and holidays to express his gratitude.

The two sides come and go, so naturally they get a little close, after all, it's not surprising that there are many people!

Although this time, due to the influence of the dried meat presented by Li Tai, Li Jing and Li Ji joined forces to bring Jieli Khan to him.

Therefore, Li Daozong did not have the meritorious service of capturing Jieli Khan.

However, Li Daozong was responsible for sweeping up Jieli's influence in Mobei, and he still won a lot of military exploits. Although it was not enough for him to be promoted, Li Shimin also gave him a lot of rewards.

"Uncle Clan, see you Qingque!" Compared with the casualness of Changsun Wuji, he treated Li Daozong Li Tai with a lot of respect.

"It's Qingque!" Li Daozong smiled when he saw Li Tai, "I guessed that you would come to my house.

The sage asked you to do something, the clan uncle has heard about it in the court, you come to see me, but you want me to pay? "

"Naturally!" Li Tai nodded and said, "I ran away to Uncle's Changsun's Mansion with my first heel, and then I came to your clan uncle.

Qingque was ordered to renovate the Zhengguo Canal and lacked the initial capital, why don't you come to the clan uncle to ask for some investment!
When Zheng Baiqu is refurbished, it will be a top-grade paddy field, and it will be the foundation of my Li clan! "

"Uncle Kui didn't hurt you in vain." Li Daozong nodded in satisfaction when he heard Li Tai's words.

However, Li Daozong thought for a while, and said: "This time, not only me, but also other members of the Li clan want to participate."

"Uncle Clan, I have always stayed in Gaoling, and I am not close to the people of the Li clan. I am not familiar with them."

When Li Tai said this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart, because you all know Li Chengqian too well.

At this moment, Li Tai continued: "So, clan uncle, it's better to find someone to gather all the members of the Li clan who want to join.

At that time, I will give the reclaimed land to the uncle, how about you share the land with the uncle? "

At this moment Li Daozong heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help being a little excited, but soon Li Daozong calmed down and said:
"This matter should be handed over to Zong Zheng."

Li Tai looked at Li Daozong sincerely and said: "It's okay, I'm not familiar with Zongzheng in the clan, so it's the same for the clan uncle.

After all, if no uncle had assigned Wei Xu and other loyal soldiers to me to maintain order, they might have been overwhelmed by the refugees.

Qingque still knows about the matter of knowing kindness and repaying it.So Qing Que asks the family uncle to help raise funds, after all, Qing Que only recognizes the family uncle! "

"Okay, okay, I'll help Qingque you to deal with this matter!" Li Daozong looked at Li Tai's sincerity and said.

The so-called ancestor is Li Xiaogong. To be honest, Li Tai is closer to Li Xiaogong's relatives, but closer is closer. Li Xiaogong's lineage is closer to Li Chengqian than to himself.

So Li Tai's eyes naturally set on Li Daozong, one of the double walls of the clan.

Li Tai really didn't know how capable Li Daozong was.

But Li Tai knew that to be an emperor, he must have someone he can trust in the clan, and Li Tai's choice was Li Daozong.

After all, as far as I know now, among the six armies that crusade against the Turks, one of them was Commander Li Daozong.

To some extent, Li Daozong is the face of the Tang clan, especially after Li Xiaogong gradually faded out of the military, Li Daozong was gradually cultivated by Li Shimin and became a real clan banner bearer.

So Li Tai is more willing to make friends with Li Daozong.

And I had a good relationship with Li Daozong at the beginning. Under such circumstances, I didn't mean to give him money, but to give him the right to distribute the clan's land. Naturally, I can see Li Daozong's character from his distribution. .

Let's see if he can become his future support in the clan.

To be honest, Li Tai must have listened to Li Shimin's warning, and he would not form a party for personal gain in private.

But now because of business, I have to visit the rich families of the royal family and nobles, which is definitely unavoidable.

I came here frankly, and left frankly. After all, I was talking about interests, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

After Li Daozong's visit, he entrusted the clan affairs to Li Daozong.

The next step is to officially present Tang Jian with a famous thorn, agree on a time for the visit, and formally meet Tang Jian.

Looking at the famous assassins that Li Tai generously sent up, and the fact that Li Tai has obviously achieved certain results in walking towards the clan of his relatives in recent days, so Li Tai is going to visit the family further.

But Tang Jian didn't expect that he would be the one Li Tai would visit next, because whether it was the five families and seven surnames or the four surnames in Guanzhong, at least they were much larger than his Taiyuan Tang family.

The most important thing is that I haven't given the forage seeds to Li Tai until now, so to some extent, the two sides are not in harmony.

"But...it's impossible to miss!" Tang Jian couldn't help but sighed, but still made a decisive decision.

After all, Zheng Guoqu was refurbished, and after handing in all the righteous granaries, what was left was his own. For all the aristocratic families in the world, it was enough fat to lead them around the corner.

Even if Tang Jian himself is aloof, the family behind him will push Tang Jian to act.

And the purpose of Li Tai's first approach to Tang Jian is very simple, he needs to turn his fight with Tang Jian into friendship.

Although Tang Jian ignored him, he could continue to do the work, but with Tang Jian's help, he could get twice the result with half the effort.

There is no way, Tang Jian is still Honglu Qing, responsible for managing the affairs of foreign races, but this is the strength Li Tai needs to rely on.

So both parties had their own goals in mind, and Tang Jian still made an appointment with Li Tai to meet up.

When Li Tai saw Tang Jian, he saluted immediately, and said, "Thank you Tang Honglu for opening the door and meeting me!"

"King Yue is polite!" Tang Jian looked at Li Tai and said calmly, "I heard that King Yue is going to deal with Zheng Baiqu's matter, but I don't know why you have time to come to my mansion."

"Tang Honglu really doesn't know?" Li Tai looked at Tang Jian with a half-smile at the moment, and said, "I still don't want to talk about it!"

Tang Jian looked at Li Tai, was silent for a while and said, "I, Mr. Tang, asked myself that I don't have a deep personal relationship with King Yue.

I haven't even taken the pasture seeds from the Turks to you, the King of Yue, so far. There is somewhat of a misunderstanding between you and me.

I don't understand, King Yue, why don't you visit the four surnames in Guanzhong, but come to visit me, Tang Jian! "

"Who asked you to be in charge of Honglu Temple!" Li Tai said frankly.

"Please ask King Yue to clarify your doubts!" ​​Tang Jian frowned when he heard Li Tai's words, he really couldn't figure it out.

"I want to use this renovation of the Zhengguo Canal to experiment with my original theory, use labor to change the foreign race, and integrate into the Chinese theory!" Li Tai said, "But the implementation of the plan requires the help of Honglu Temple, so no matter what, it can't get around you Tang Honghe."

"Reform aliens through labor..." Tang Jian couldn't help recalling Li Tai's words, saying:

"You seem to have argued with Doulu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites about this matter, and this matter seems to have been delayed by the Ministry of Rites."

Li Tai took a sip of tea calmly, and then said slowly:
"No way, if it proves that labor can transform alien races, then the so-called poetry and book education will have new competitors.

For Confucianism, I am digging the foundation of Confucianism!

So, in the end, Shangshu Doulu chose to drag the word formula, and slowly dragged this matter away, and I can understand it. "

"I'm also a student of Confucianism!" Tang Jian said righteously when he heard what Li Tai said.

"I know, but my proposal is to dig the foundation of Confucianism, but it is to enhance the functions of Honglu Temple, and it is to increase the land for the Tang family!" Li Tai said calmly, "The blame can only be blamed on Doulu Shangshu It's the Minister of Rites, not the Minister of Honglu Temple!"

When Tang Jian heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but fell silent, and said slowly, "How can this incident increase the functions of Honglu Temple!"

Li Tai said quite calmly: "The construction of Zheng Baiqu requires a lot of manpower and corvees.

If you want to reduce the burden on the people of your own country to a certain extent, then this burden can only be borne by foreign labor.

My opinion is to recruit foreign races as laborers to assist me in the construction of Datang, and the dirty work is naturally done by these foreign races!

If you want to become a citizen of my Great Tang without paying a little blood and sweat, then it is somewhat unreasonable! "

"But a foreign race is a foreign race after all!" Tang Jian said with a serious expression when he heard Li Tai's words.

Li Tai said with a smile: "During the process of their labor and work, they will definitely change their living habits.

Although the bloodline cannot be changed, as long as they have the Tang surname, speak Tang dialect, practice Tang rituals, and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

When they are registered in household registration, I think there should be no problem with saying that they are Tang people.

After all, a little of my royal blood comes from Xianbei! "

"King Yue, you have overstepped!" Tang Jian's expression became serious when he heard Li Tai's words.

Li Tai said calmly:

"It's not a disgrace, so why hide it, just like this, the big Han can't integrate nationalities, but I, the Great Tang, can!
After that, they were divided into two parts, and a very small part was used as a signboard to enjoy the benefits of becoming our Datang people.

Let them understand that being a dog of Datang is definitely more comfortable than a person of a foreign race.

The other one is also what I need, I need them to do their best to work for my Datang.

Not to mention that the construction of Zheng Baiqu must be filled with people's lives. Compared with the people of Tang Dynasty, I would rather let a foreign race fill it in! "

Listening to Li Tai's demon-like bewitching words, Tang Jian frowned and said, "What's the matter with Honglu Temple?"

"It didn't matter at the beginning!" Li Tai said calmly, "But with Zheng Baiqu as a benchmark, some aliens have taken root in our Tang Dynasty, and after they become the people of our Tang Dynasty, are those aliens who are willing to come to China? Just get more.

At that time, this matter should be under the control of Honglu Temple.

Compared with the trivial matter of simply entertaining foreign envoys and returning tributes, this kind of orderly screening of foreign people's duties, I think, is the real function of Honglu Temple.

And if you just nod, then you are the one who formulated the rules, and you have created a new milestone in Datang's diplomacy.

I think this matter must be famous through the ages, and you will definitely become the first in the Tang family tree! "

Tang Jian couldn't help swallowing when he heard Li Tai's words.

To be honest, if Li Tai used land interests to talk about Tang Jian, Tang Jian would be really hard to shake.

Because Tang Jian is really not short of such a small amount of land, and the Tang family is not a big family, Tang Jian can suppress it.

But from the perspective of strengthening the functions of Honglu Temple, to be honest, Tang Jian is really moved.

Because what this increases is not interests, but rights, for any bureaucrat, it is really very difficult to refuse things that can reasonably increase their own rights.

Not to mention, this incident can really make Tang Jian the first column in the Tang family tree. If this system is really implemented according to what Li Tai said, Tang Jian believes that this change in the system will indeed make him Inscribed in the annals of history.

"If so, what good will it do to you, King Yue!" Tang Jian finally suppressed his greed and said to Li Tai.

"Do the benefits have to be revealed?" Li Tai looked at Tang Jian and said, "As long as this policy is successful, it proves that there are other ways to educate foreigners besides ritual and music education. For me, this is the biggest benefit. !"

"You have spared no effort in digging the walls of Confucianism!" Tang Jian couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this.

Li Tai replied to Tang Jian:
"Who told me that I was so cheap that I was demoted to Kaifu.

If I can't prove that Confucianism is wrong, then I can only be infamous for thousands of years.

So I think Tang Honglu should also be able to understand my determination!
If Tang Honglu is willing to cooperate, how about entrusting all the aristocratic families in Guanzhong with four surnames, five surnames and Qiwang to you to contact.

When the time comes, the reclaimed land will be handed over to you for distribution. I think for the Tang Corporation, fame should be more important than the land! "

"King Yue, you are really terrifying!" Tang Jian looked at Li Tai, and he really wanted to refuse.

But no matter for himself, for the Tang Corporation, or even for the Honglu Temple where he works, it is full of benefits.

Facing Li Tai's price without even asking, Tang Jian found that he had no room to refuse.

This is giving way too much.

Li Tai said calmly: "Because I don't think we are even considered political enemies.

You hate me only because you are from Confucianism, but after shedding the layer of Confucianism, Honglu Temple itself should be the most supportive of me! "

To be honest, for Li Tai, as long as Honglu Temple cooperates with him once and he has successfully established a benchmark, he will definitely become a more loyal ally than Taipu Temple and Sinong Temple.

Because the two are separated from themselves and can still do it alone.

But for Honglu Temple, as long as the transportation of foreign labor becomes the norm, it will inevitably require the entire Tang Dynasty to continue to need large-scale construction.

Because the more construction is needed, the more foreign labor is needed, and the function of Honglu Temple will be strengthened.

Maybe Li Tai offered to do the first and second projects, but when the third and fourth projects started, Honglu Temple begged Li Tai to do it.

Otherwise, without the project, how would the Honglu Temple bring in external labor, and how would the Honghe Temple collect money!

It is even a good thing for Li Tai to sell Honglu Temple to other people who want to build it.

Because the more major constructions are made, Li Tai can show his talent.

Otherwise, if this one can't be built and that one can't be built, then what's the value of Li Tai!
Facing the beautiful future Li Tai described, Tang Jian finally chose to bow his head to eat:

"The pasture seeds will be sent to the Agricultural Institute in Gaoling in a short time, and the King of Yue is asked to send someone to take over."
