Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 276
After appeasing Wang Xuance, Li Tai dragged Du Chuke to his mansion for an evening chat by candlelight.

After all, Du Chuke initially met Li Tai, and after hearing Li Tai's words, he didn't know Li Tai's layout for the whole Tuyuhun.

Du Chuke also needs to know what Li Tai's plan is, and whether his own execution will delay Li Tai's plan.

Du Chuke came to Li Tai's study, saluted Li Tai, and looked at the map on Li Tai's desk from the corner of his eye.

Seeing Du Chuke approaching, Li Tai warmly went to pull Du Chuke, pointed at the map and said,
"Looking at it from Master Du, this is a map of the surrounding areas of Shanzhou that I have drawn with great difficulty these days. It reaches Xihai County in the south, four counties in Hexi in the north, Qinghai Lake in the west, and Longyou in the east. When I return Changan, I entrust this picture to you!"

"Yan Wang is serious!" Du Chuke replied immediately after hearing Li Tai's words.

However, Du Chuke said to Li Tai again, "But I don't know much about the situation in Shanzhou, especially what is your position in Shanzhou, King Yan. I would like to ask you, King Yan, to clarify."

"Wait a minute!" Li Tai turned his head as he spoke, and quickly found a copy of the original meeting minutes and handed them to Du Chuke.

Li Tai said slowly, "This is the minutes of the meeting that was drawn up when Shanzhou was first positioned.

In addition, there are two talents left for you, one is Yuan Tiangang, and the other is his son Yuan Keshi.

It's a pity that Yuan Tiangang is still teaching. As for Master Yuan Ke who came to Shanzhou from Guangzhou, it would be great if he could arrive at the end of the year. "

Du Chuke couldn't help sweating when he heard Li Tai's words. It was obvious that Master Yuan Ke might have had a hard time, and he might be on his way this year.

However, Du Chuke picked up the original meeting minutes and began to read them. After reading them, he said to Li Tai in surprise:

"The king of Yan intends to build the Hehuang Valley into a granary in the northwest, and even work hard to develop the surrounding hills to form terraces in the next few decades to cultivate more grain."

"En!" Li Tai nodded and said, "If you want to develop the northwest, you must have a granary. Although the Hehuang Valley is definitely not as good as other plain areas, if you want to develop the granary in the northwest, this is the only place."

Du Chuke nodded when he heard Li Tai's words. With this clear goal, he will have a relatively clear direction in governing in the future.

Otherwise, no matter how much it develops, it will be nothing more than the so-called sound government and harmonious people.

But has this kind of governance really done anything for the people?At most, it is just to make a self-impressed one.

This is where Du Chuke is optimistic about Li Tai, because Li Tai often gives you a specific positioning or goal, so that you can clearly feel that every effort you make is meaningful, instead of wasting your time here.

"If that's the case, why did the King of Yan want to rebuild the city in Xihai County? I think it would be better to find a suitable place to build the city in the east of the West Sea, where the Huangshui River is connected!" Du Chuke said.

After hearing Du Chuke's words, Li Tai understood what Du Chuke meant.

After all, any city should basically be based on water sources. A city like Li Tai's choice to build does not mean that there is no water source, but that there is no water source connected to Huangshui.

In this case, in addition to water transportation to a certain place, if you want to transport materials, you need land transportation to the destination.

You must know that this is Qinghai, but it is already within the scope of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the roads here are not easy to walk!

"I know!" Li Tai pointedly led you back, "except that there is a basin in front of it, which is just suitable for implementing the "Grass Seed Project".

More importantly, I want those soldiers dispatched from agricultural colleges to train in the plateau miasma, so as to train a team of soldiers who are not afraid of miasma.

In this way, if anyone makes trouble on the grassland in the future, they can be wiped out immediately with this army.

It is not necessary to dispatch soldiers all the way from Chang'an. "

"The King of Yan thinks that there will be people around the West Sea who will offend me, Tang Xiongwei?!" Du Chuke was keenly aware of Li Tai's intentions.

"Yes!" Li Tai resolutely said to Du Chuke, and then said, "There will definitely be foreign provocations!"

To be honest, Li Tai remembered that a few years later, Tubo had a fight with Datang, but he said Tubo now, because he was afraid that no one would believe him, so the only thing he could do was to make Du Chuke pay enough attention.

Du Chuke narrowed his eyes slightly. As a hero who came all the way from the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although Du Chuke and he had always followed the path of civil servants, they were not people who did not know how to fight.

In addition, Li Tai's view of the overall situation has always been good, Du Chuke thought that if anyone dared to cause trouble when his party was in power, he would have to chop him up!
And Li Tai continued, "Master Du, I know you like to be arbitrary in doing things..."

"King Yan..." Du Chuke wanted to explain a few words when he heard Li Tai's words.

But Li Tai stretched out his hand, stopped Du Chuke's words, and continued,

"And I just like your assertiveness!"

Li Tai said to Du Chuke: "Shanzhou has been the frontier of our Tang Dynasty since we defeated Tuyuhun.

But the situation here is complicated, and we in Tang Dynasty need someone who can make decisions here.

Originally, I was worried that Wang Xuance would be difficult to make a decision, but now that you are here, no matter what happens, I still trust your judgment. "

"King Yan!" Du Chuke couldn't help being moved when he heard Li Tai's words.

Anyone who doesn't know their own personality, but if they know it, can they change it? Impossible!
As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Anyone who wants to change his character generally has two paths.

One is self-enlightenment, and the other is being taken away!

But now that his troublesome personality is recognized by Li Tai, Du Chuke is quite happy.

When Li Tai said this, his expression became serious again, and he said, "It's fine if we don't encounter wars in the future.

But if you really encounter a war, you need to pay attention to Wang Xuance's intentions and delegate power to Wang Xuance.

Even if he wants to send troops to fight back, you can also prepare food for him for at least half a year, and let Wang Xuance do it once! "

"King Yan, this?!" Du Chuke didn't expect Li Tai to make such a request.

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Wang Xuance is in the process of implementing the "Grass Seed Project", I can see that he is good at dealing with people and can dispatch and command thousands of people.

At the same time, I left Xue Rengui and a part of the personal guards to assist him. With his ability, maybe he can really recruit a force to fight against the aliens on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

So as long as the war does not affect the Hehuang Valley, you can prepare food for Wang Xuance, and let Wang Xuance do the rest! "

"King Yan, soldiers and state affairs are important matters. If Wang Xuance loses, it will be a major event!" Du Chuke said.

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded and said, "So how to do a good job for him is up to you! I believe in you!"

"..." Du Chuke was so moved that he wanted to cry when he heard Li Tai's words, obviously Li Tai didn't even think about Wang Xuance's loss.

I couldn't figure out what kind of charm this Wang Xuance possessed to make King Yan place such a big bet on him.

Not only did he waste such resources, even himself, in the end, he had to take the blame for Wang Xuance's defeat.

Du Chuke was a little puzzled, what good thing did Wang Xuance do in his previous life to be so favored by King Yan.

This even seemed to put his layout in Tuyuhun on Wang Xuance's body!

But no matter how you say it, since King Yan wants to put all the chips on Wang Xuance, let's put it on.

After all, the premise of all this is that there are foreign changes in this area of ​​Qinghai County. If there are no foreign changes, or if you leave after your term expires, then it is none of your business.

Thinking of this, Du Chuke breathed a sigh of relief.

At least things weren't as bad as I thought, and everything was arranged just in case.

Of course, regarding Wang Xuance's matter, Li Tai specifically mentioned it to Du Chuke.

As for other matters, especially the internal affairs, Du Chuke was pulled up by Li Tai before dawn the next day, and followed Li Tai to know how the entire Shanzhou was functioning.

And after seven to eighty eight years of flat land development in Shanzhou, the second step of the terraced field development plan was started.

While Li Tai followed Du Chuke about Shanzhou's future plans, Du Chuke also understood that Li Tai obviously planned to hand over Shanzhou to Yuan Tiangang for development in the future.

Whether it is teaching courses in the school now, or asking Yuan Tiangang to inspect the water conservancy facilities in Shanzhou in the future, it is all in preparation for the terraced field development plan in Shanzhou.

Of course, Du Chuke also asked Li Tai where the money came from. After all, he had been with Li Tai for a long time, and Du Chuke also understood that following Li Tai made money quickly and spent money quickly.

But the most important thing is that generally the king of Yan will solve the problem of money and food, which is why the Gaoling model can be carried out smoothly.

Purely relying on feelings, how can you do things.

Li Tai is also quite calm, Shanzhou's own tax will pay a part, the animal husbandry brought by Wang Xuance's "planting plan" will pay a part, and when the peacock gets through the business roads of Lanzhou and even the four counties of Hexi, it will naturally send a part .

As for the original initial funds, Li Tai said that he seized them by intercepting a part of the army, and they have already settled them.

"Director Li, didn't you be beaten to death?" Hearing Li Tai's confident words, Du Chuke asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Manager Li knows and agrees!" Li Tai answered Du Chuke confidently.

Yes, in Li Tai's view, no matter what Li Jing said, since he agreed that the captured items in the army can be exchanged for food stamps, and then the food stamps can be consumed by soldiers or exchanged for supplies in Chang'an, that means he has agreed to intercept this part of the profit.

After all, in this world, there is no guilt if you don't find out, even Li Jing can't defile people's innocence out of thin air!

Du Chuke looked at Li Tai suspiciously, but as Li Tai took Du Chuke around Shancheng, he found that the city had just experienced a war this year, but now it revealed a burst of vitality, which is hard to believe here in February. It is the battlefield.

Because it was already June, the spring wheat had basically grown smoothly. Looking at the lush spring wheat, Du Chuke understood the painstaking efforts of King Yan these days.

After all, the war was launched in February, and the spring plowing was completed in March, so that the local people were successfully brought under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Now the people look at these green seedlings, and their eyes are full of hope.

Du Chuke asked himself, even he might not be able to do it.

Well, after actually arriving in Shancheng, Du Chuke suddenly asked Li Tai:

"King Yan, are there too many brothels in Shancheng? I have seen several brothels since I entered the city and on the main street!

Especially the benefactors who went in, most of them were strong and grouped together. Judging from the clothes on their bodies, they seemed to be my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty! "

"Ahem!" Li Tai coughed lightly a few times, "This is a special model of economic development after the war. When the Tang army leaves, you need to guide these women of different races to do some serious business!"

After all, the Tang army is not an American soldier stationed in another country, and the United States pays wages to go to the local entertainment and promote the local economy.

The important reason why the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were able to develop a slightly deformed and prosperous economy in Shanzhou was because of the seizure of Tuyuhun.

When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty left, this deformed economic model would naturally collapse.

"King Yan, I always feel that you have thrown me a big trouble!" Du Chuke looked at Li Tai suspiciously.

"So, it's not up to you to educate the local people. You know, I'm not very good at moral education!" Li Tai shrugged and resolutely dismissed the matter.

Solving the re-employment of girls who have lost their feet is a century-old problem even in the 21st century, but what can you do? If you want to intercept and seize in this era, you can only start with pornography, gambling and drugs, and stimulate consumption as quickly as possible.

For Huang Tian, ​​even if he crossed over to become Li Tai and was always eroded by the decadent feudal society, there was still a bottom line.

At least I will not touch drugs, let alone encourage them, so the remaining choices can be imagined.

However, Du Chuke just felt that there were too many brothels, and he didn't say that Li Tai was doing badly. Just looking at the brothels, Du Chuke remembered something, and said to Li Tai,
"Speaking of which, Empress Changsun has already started to choose a concubine for the prince.

You will get married within this year, and next year, Empress Changsun will choose Princess Yan for you.

I don't know if you want to belong, but you have to tell Empress Changsun earlier! "

To be honest, Du Chuke hoped that Li Tai would find some political allies for him and tell the eldest grandson queen earlier.

After all, King Yan will be 16 years old next year, and it will be different, and he may really collide with the prince next year!
"This year?" Li Tai said calmly, "I'm afraid he won't be able to get married this year!"

Du Chuke was astonished, and soon in mid-June, a rider came from the east and informed Li Yuan that he had died on May [-], the ninth year of Zhenguan, and asked Li Tai to return to Chang'an with the army led by Li Jing to attend the sacrifice.
