Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 128 The Opened Zheng Baiqu Conference

"Teacher, Changle has come back from the palace!" Li Chengqian said to Li Gang: "Seeing her happy look, it is obvious that Qingque has promised her something."

"Since you have decided to win over the eldest grandson's family, you shouldn't be soft-hearted! Cough cough!" Li Gang looked at Li Chengqian and coughed a few times, and said, "You helped Princess Changle escape from the palace and reported to the king of Yue, but it was just causing trouble. That's all."

"Teacher, I..." Li Chengqian couldn't help but want to explain when he heard Li Gang's words.

However, Li Gang, who was lying on the bed at the moment, said, "I know, you just want to prove that you are no worse than King Yue.

This matter was agreed by the Holy Majesty, the Empress hoped, and even the entire court was looking forward to the marriage.

Even if Princess Changle said something to the King of Yue, the King of Yue couldn't untie the knot.

Therefore, you hope that the king of Yue will take the initiative to jump into this dead festival, so that the king of Yue will be alienated by the saint and the queen.

However, what you did was only exposing your power in the palace, not to the king of Yue, but to the saint!

Cough cough cough! "

When Li Gang said this, he coughed again and again.

To be honest, ever since Li Chengqian attended government affairs and even participated in compiling books, more and more people flocked to Li Chengqian.

The Qingliu Xiushu represented by Confucianism and the servants entrenched in the palace all naturally gathered around Li Chengqian and became the power in Li Chengqian's hands, even this situation was acquiesced by Li Shimin.

After all, compared to the talents that Li Tai slowly gathered through the agricultural academy, when Li Chengqian, as the prince, simply showed that he wanted to master power, there were so many people who were willing to give money and power. Li Chengqian ascended the throne and returned with plans.

Therefore, although Li Chengqian is not very old, in fact, as a prince, he can use his strength is not small.

"Whether the game is broken or not, this is a battle of spirits among young people. The prince is the one who will rule the world in the future. If you keep focusing on this battle of spirits, then it will be too narrow!"

Having said this, Li Gang took a few breaths and said,
"In the past few days, why have you stopped writing a letter to oppose the enfeoffment! Instead, the flags and drums have died down, as if you have given up and accepted your fate."

Hearing Li Gang's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help saying bitterly:
"The teacher may not know that the dispute over the entrustment of the imperial court, with the proposal of the limit population, no one has mentioned it anymore.

This matter has been settled by the sage, so what is there to mention! "

"You are confused!" Li Gang heard Li Chengqian's words, but he was a little out of breath, and couldn't help coughing again and again.

"Teacher, don't worry!" Li Chengqian hurriedly handed over water for Li Gang to drink, and then said: "Teacher, please teach me."

Li Gang took a breath, but said solemnly:

"Zeng Zi said, 'You can entrust a six-foot orphan, you can send a hundred miles of life, and you can't take it away when it comes to the big festival. A gentleman and a man? A gentleman and a man.'

Since you have decided that enfeoffment is not a good thing, how can you give up halfway, such a waste of prestige is definitely not a good thing.

On the contrary, it will make the loyal people who follow you feel confused and confused! "

To be honest, Li Chengqian is still too young, so he doesn't understand that the most annoying people in politics are those political speculators who are facing Qin Muchu.

Especially if this person is the future leader, it makes people feel even more confused and at a loss.

After all, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the emperor and the aristocratic family ruled the world together, the aristocratic family was not a dog for the prince.

They also have their own political ambitions. If the prince is a hesitant person who is always in a hurry, then it is unrealistic for the courtiers to assist the prince because of the Confucian idea of ​​monarch, minister and minister.

After all, it has only been a long time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, so there are so many ministers who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are political investors or speculators.

Li Chengqian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and said with a little hesitation:
"However, Aye has already set the tone for this matter. It is somewhat unrealistic to overthrow the enfeoffment again!"

"It's not a difficult task. At least the ministers of the imperial court won't push for enfeoffment right now!" Li Gang coughed a few times, and explained step by step,

"The foreign enemies of the Tang Dynasty have not been cleared up, and it has just recovered from the chaos of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the population is still far from the limit.

If it is divided into enfeoffments again, at least it is not suitable when there are strong enemies outside, and it is impossible for the court officials to support it.

And more importantly, you are not trying to stop the distribution, but to delay the distribution! "

"Delay in entrustment!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he heard Li Gang's words.

"Hmm! Cough, cough, cough!" Li Gang coughed again and again, but managed to finish all the words.

Li Gang continued: "Whether to enfeoff or not is just a slogan to you, all you need is to hold this slogan high.

You have to win over those who are neutral or even opposed to enfeoffment in the court to your command.

After all, the system of prefectures and counties has been in existence for 800 years since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Not everyone is willing to change and restore the ancient enfeoffment system.

More people are just content with the status quo and drifting with the flow! "

"What about the saint, he doesn't like the county system!" Li Chengqian couldn't help saying when he heard Li Gang's words.

"You don't need to worry, you are the crown prince, you just need not to object to enfeoffment, but you just hope to enfeoff when Datang becomes stronger!" Li Gang said calmly,

"Just delay this matter until you become a new saint.

Then whether it is enfeoffment or county or county, that is up to you!

Prince, your greatest asset is that you are young. You are the future successor of the Tang Dynasty and will hold the power of the whole world! "

"I...?" Li Chengqian heard Li Gang's words, but his eyes became a little longing.

Because he also wants to inherit Li Shimin's position, and then he can let Li Tai squat down, lie down on his stomach, let's see where he still has the arrogance!

While Li Gang was fooling Li Chengqian, Li Tai also started working.

As for Changle's coming here, it was indeed an unexpected thing for Li Tai.

But Li Tai didn't intend to start immediately, after all, there was no need to be so anxious!

After all, even Natsche's first step has not been completed, and even after it is completed, I am afraid that we will have to wait until the next year.

Although the average person in ancient times was a beast, they would not attack a ten-year-old girl. No matter what, they had to wait until the little girl was twenty-three years old.

Therefore, when dealing with this matter, Li Tai was not in a panic, but instead found Liu Shenwei from the hospital and asked him to make a medical plan on how to increase the probability of childbirth.

After all, the next step is not to increase the recovery of the population, so that Li Shimin can achieve enfeoffment, then of course it is necessary to make a beautiful plan.

After all, as long as one puts one's purpose in the context of the general trend and makes one's actions conform to the general trend of the country, then one's own actions will be like sailing with the current, and naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

This trivial matter, Li Tai took care of it casually, and just waited until next month to deliver the letter to Li Shimin.

After all, in the final analysis, it's not that Changle doesn't want to marry Changsun Chong, but Changle doesn't want to marry so early.

As his elder brother, his purpose is not to break up this marriage, but to delay it for a few years.

Therefore, not long after Li Tai returned to Gaoling, he concentrated his time on copying the "Lanting Preface". Finally, Ma Zhou led everyone to complete the plan for the entire Zhengbaiqu area, and then brought the entire Zhengbaiqu operation team to Gaoling.

Relatively speaking, after half a year of deliberation, everyone is about to start working at this time.

And Li Tai didn't hesitate at all, so he called Liu Shenwei, Du Chuke, and Lu Cai back to attend the meeting.

Li Tai asked someone to set up a big round table, not for the sake of fairness or unfairness, but because there were so many people, if the normal seats were used, the people behind would often not be able to hear what Li Tai had to say.

So, I still set up a round table, put materials on each table, and Li Tai sat in the middle and talked, so that everyone could hear them everywhere.

As for this meeting with Li Tai, these Shuidu envoys who were dispatched from various places were quite excited.

After all, after studying for so long, it finally entered the stage of formal work, so who could not be excited.

It was Ma Zhou who first gave a detailed report on the Zhengbai Canal, such as when and where the canal needs to be dredged, and where and where the canal needs to be re-dug, such as where and where, the river has changed its course and needs to be reshaped.

All in all, Ma Zhou explained in detail all the sites that need to be constructed, especially the three channels that need to be focused on, and Ma Zhou listed them separately.

"In short, now we are short of master craftsmen for the whole project, there is a shortage of corvee workers, and all kinds of materials needed to control the river also need to be fully prepared, that is to say, less people and less money." Ma Zhou said, "These problems, the king of Yue You should be ready, right?"

To be honest, although Ma Zhou still has great confidence in Li Tai, after really calculating the whole project, he wanted Li Tai to arrange all the logistics of the entire Zheng Baiqu project. To be honest, this is not an easy task.

"That is to say, according to your plan, this Zheng Bai Qu will continue to complete Taibai Qu, Zhongbai Qu and Nanbai Qu on the basis of the original Zheng Bai Qu.

The most important thing is that our Gaoling itself is at the core of the whole plan. Through Gaoling's ships, the materials can be easily transported to the designated locations of the three canals, thus speeding up the progress of the whole plan! "

Li Tai looked at the map that Ma Zhou gave him, and after looking at it for a while, he summed up Ma Zhou's plan!

"Exactly!" Ma Zhou nodded and said, "The location of Gaoling is excellent. Not only is it connected to the waterway in the Zhengbaiqu area, but more importantly, Gaoling is lush and lush. It is easy to carry out the transportation of materials through Gaoling, and take this as an opportunity to cultivate fertile land in the future!"

"Well! It's not impossible!" Li Tai nodded and said, "That is, don't use this map in the future, can you build a more intuitive model? If you don't have talents, the Agricultural Institute can produce some Moke. people."

Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone was a bit stunned, but Ma Zhou replied calmly, "I'll just make a model for you next time, so King Yue agreed with us to build these three canals! "

"Fix it, I should deal with the raising of money, food and manpower." Li Tai pressed his temple, but looked at Pei Daoxuan, the prime minister of Honghe Temple, and said, "When will Honglu Temple be able to send foreigners over? We need labor!"

"Tang Honglu has been arranging this matter since last year, and has temporarily arranged people in Luoyang. As long as you want to employ people, King Yue, you can send people here at any time!" Pei Daoxuan said to Li Tai respectfully.

"It's very good to dispatch people here. Zheng Baiqu's project has started, and before Zheng Baiqu is completed, they need to work hard!" Li Tai said to Pei Daoxuan,
"Tell these foreigners directly that if they want to integrate into our Huaxia, they need to work hard and make contributions to our Huaxia.

In addition, if you want to obtain our Huaxia household registration, you need to be able to speak Chinese and be able to understand Han etiquette. If anyone can write two hundred Chinese characters, then they will be given priority in obtaining the household registration quota! "

"This..." Hearing Li Tai's words, Pei Daoxuan had a look of hesitation on his face.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Pei Daoxuan's appearance, Li Tai couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

"These are all foreigners, if they make trouble, it's not a good thing!" Pei Daoxuan said.

"It's okay, Gaoling has a lot of experience in receiving refugees here, you should dispatch people here first, and use Wei Xu and other veterans to form a patrol team for the time being.

When I enter the palace next month, I will ask the saint for a garrison, that's all! "

Li Tai heard Pei Daoxuan's words and said, "Under normal circumstances, you don't need to worry about our safety!"

"I'm not worried about our safety, I am worried about their safety!"

Pei Daoxuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and finally said to Li Tai,

"King Yue, that's how it is. Tang Hongxi hopes that you will use it sparingly as much as possible. Even if you use it, it's best not to use it to death!"

"Huh? Recruiting these people is not going well?" Li Tai was somewhat puzzled when he heard Fei Daoxuan's words.

"So that the king of Yue would know that if it wasn't true that he couldn't get along in the local area, who would want to go thousands of miles away? As for the foreign races that belonged to us, although they yearned for our Tang Dynasty, how long did the Tang Dynasty defeat the foreign races? If these people are convinced It's unrealistic!"

Fei Daoxuan continued to Li Tai, "After all, most of these alien races are from Eastern Turks.

And if the Turks were not split, they were also prairie heroes who threatened the Sui Dynasty.

So although Honglu Temple can allow foreigners to come over, if they are exhausted, it will not be easy for people to come over in the future. "

"I see!" Li Tai said after hearing Fei Daoxuan's words, "Bring it here first, I will use it sparingly!"

When Fei Daoxuan heard Li Tai's assurance, he was slightly relieved. After all, it was the first time for Honglu Temple to recruit foreigners to serve as corvees, and everyone from top to bottom couldn't let it go!
