Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 354
Li Taina really left Chang'an as if fleeing for his life.

To be honest, this matter can only be dealt with if he leaves by himself. Even if he thinks about it with his toes, it must have something to do with Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin is afraid that he will severely punish Li Chengqian before letting him leave Chang'an.

And if he was there, then Li Shimin was afraid that if he dealt with Li Chengqian and announced his criminal evidence, the ministers who chose to speculate could not help but admonish and abolish the prince directly.

But after dealing with Li Chengqian's affairs after he left, Li Shimin had already shown that he did not want to change the prince.

Next, as long as we deal with it in a low-key manner, I believe that the ministers will not be too persuasive.

But Li Tai naturally didn't know that this time it was Li Chengqian's sweetheart, Xinxin.

Even if he knew, Li Tai's eyes were still blank. The Crown Princess knows who she is, and she doesn't know who she is!

In history, Li Shimin also killed Xinxin because of Qin Ying and Wei Ling's talisman to deceive people.

It's just that Li Chengqian engraved his name in the history books because of his heart, making the world think that his heart is the main reason.

But the problem is that the king has the habit of Longyang, which is really not a shortcoming in this era.

Not only because Li Chengqian already has an eldest son and a legitimate son, but more importantly, don't forget that Emperor Han Wen had a favorite minister Deng Tong.

As long as Li Chengqian holds up Emperor Wen of Han as an example, this matter will only become a good talk, not a stain.

But it should be noted that the Taoist priests Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu in history were able to befriend the prince with black magic, so who were the targets of their black magic, and why Li Tai in history succeeded by relying on this complaint, it is obvious It must have been written by Chunqiu here.

Adhering to the traditional virtue of being taboo for the venerable, one can imagine who Li Chengqian's target is.

But Li Shimin still chose to kill all the people involved in the incident, but did not touch Li Chengqian.

At least it shows that deep down in his heart, Li Shimin still hopes that Li Chengqian will continue to be the prince. Even if the prince is wrong, Li Shimin still hopes to give him a chance!
But this time, Li Chengqian also used black magic, but after all, he didn't mean to kill Li Tai. From Li Shimin's point of view, Li Chengqian still has a conscience.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to deal with this matter coldly, behead the villains around him, let Li Chengqian continue to be close to virtuous ministers, and believe that there will still be salvation in the future.

"Sure enough, Aye still loves Li Chengqian very much, and continues to maintain his crown prince!" Li Tai said with emotion.

"Huh?" Yan Wan poked her head out of the carriage and looked at Li Tai curiously.

"Nothing, let's go quickly!" Li Tai said to Yan Wan with a smile.

Li Tai was not in a hurry, after all, Li Shimin was still alive and took Datang as his own property to manage it well.

Now it's only been 12 years of Zhenguan, the days are still long, it's fine if I continue to accumulate strength.

At this moment in Xihai County, Wang Xuance watched Xue Rengui return smoothly from the snow and mist with the academy soldiers.

Every time Wang Xuance looked at Xue Rengui's soldiers, they were all wearing 160-jin shield armor at this time. Every time he saw it, he felt like watching the steel corps move. I don't know if they are strong or not, but it seems really Handsome and powerful!
"Xuance?" Xue Rengui himself was wearing an extremely thick shield armor, and appeared in front of Wang Xuance step by step.

"Take off this armor, I have something to see you!" Wang Xuance said to Xue Rengui.

"Okay!" Xue Rengui waved his hand, and a warrior also wearing a shield pressed hard on the joints on his wrists, first releasing Xue Rengui's hands, and then helped to remove the armor piece by piece. for at least a quarter of an hour.

After all these series of matters were dealt with, Xue Rengui followed Wang Xuance to the prefect's mansion.

Wang Xuance said with a serious expression, "There is news from Dongnvguo, and there has been a change in the Tubo people!"

Wang Xuance's stay these years was not in vain. Relying on his potential as a diplomat, he got along quite well with the surrounding tribes.

Especially the tribes such as Dongnuguo or Dangxiang on the border with Tubo, basically as long as Tubo takes action, it will almost certainly pass through these two tribes.

In this era, if there is not enough savings, it will take at least half a year to prepare for the resource allocation of a large-scale war, let alone Tubo, a country that is still only a slave society.

Even though Chisang Yangdun has been very predictable for a year of preparation, the basic productivity and organization of a slave country can be imagined.

If it weren't for the dangerous and important places like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, coupled with the general trend of global warming, it would be almost impossible for Tubo to become Tang's confidant, otherwise even if he was given a few more Lunqin tombs, Tubo would still be destroyed.

"Sure enough, Du Biejia also said that there will be changes in Tubo this year!" Xue Rengui's face became serious, and he asked Wang Xuance seriously: "Should this matter be reported to the court?"

"It's still not sure that Tubo's target is our Tang Dynasty. Maybe Tubo just wants to annex small tribes like Dongnu or Dangxiang." Wang Xuance said in a deep voice, "We just need to do well on the road they must pass. Enough is enough!"

"Just let the Tubo army come here like this?!" Xue Rengui was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"Only by letting them in, can we wipe them out. Otherwise, are you going to look for them in the valley?" Wang Xuance looked at Xue Rengui in surprise.

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Xue Rengui rubbed his hands together and said, "Okay! You command me to fight, but I'll wait for them!"

"It's still early!" Wang Xuance said, curling his lips when he heard Xue Rengui's words,

"If they have the intention of a protracted war, they should send troops in March this year. If they want to hurt our Datang in one go, they will probably send troops in July and August!"

"Food cultivation?!" Xue Rengui was still quite keen on war, and he understood immediately.

In other words, maybe it is because the academy soldiers are all from agricultural colleges, so these academy soldiers will reclaim some land every year and try to grow some local wild vegetables.

After all, people can't live on tea alone, these days are really hard.

Then some local wild vegetables were planted more or less, and they were mainly handed over to the school soldiers who came to serve as soldiers in the first year.

After all, they have just graduated from the agricultural students, and the knowledge has not been completely lost from their heads, but they have changed to other school soldiers who have stayed here for two or three years. Although they still remember how to grow vegetables, they are not as good as the first-year school soldiers. Meticulous.

And Li Tai also wanted to send the glass greenhouse here, or the glass greenhouse may not be prepared for the so-called off-season vegetables.

Some cold regions with short summers and long winters are actually very suitable for the glass greenhouse model.

"Then we have to wait!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but look serious, with some emotion after all.

"Compared to this, how do you feel about using the armor and weapons sent by King Wei these days?" Wang Xuance asked.

"Shield armor, I always think it's a waste to use it as armor for training. This thing is more suitable for heavy infantry armor. I'm afraid it will take ballista or ten stone arrows to penetrate this armor!" Xue Rengui couldn't bear it. Live with emotion.

"Use it first, and use it to boost your strength!" Wang Xuance said calmly, "Compared to it, scale armor or cotton armor, which one is more comfortable for you to use!"

"As long as I take off the shield armor, I can use either one very comfortably!" Xue Rengui said,
"There is not much difference between the scale armor and the cotton armor, especially the cotton armor, I actually soaked it in water, and then put it outside to freeze overnight, it seems to be stronger than the scale armor.

Even if a hole is punctured or something, it can be recovered quickly with this method! "

"Normal people wouldn't come up with such an idea! I'm asking about a normal padded jacket!" Wang Xuance said seriously.

"It's okay, unless the weather is extremely cold, cotton armor is no match for scale armor!" Xue Rengui explained,
"Generally speaking, we take off the outer iron sheet and put on cotton clothes directly on the body, so as to keep warmer!"

"I know!" Wang Xuance pressed his temples and said to Xue Rengui, "Next, you should be more vigilant. I will write to the King of Wei to ask for some more supplies, and tell King Wei of my judgment. King Wei's support for us There should be more."

"Where's the imperial court?" Xue Rengui asked suspiciously when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"I'm afraid the imperial court will wait until the fight starts before giving us support. After all, the current Tubo has not fought against our Tang Dynasty!" Wang Xuance said.

After Wang Xuance finished chatting, he began to write letters. If nothing else, he hoped that Li Tai could send more resources.

Although there is a lot of content written, it is probably Wei Wang, Hungry, Fanfan, woo woo!
This letter went through several twists and turns, and finally fell into Li Tai's hands in February. After Li Tai read it, he handed the letter to Lu Cai.

After reading it, Lu Cai frowned and said seriously,
"King Wei, Luoyang has sent enough weapons and armor to Xihai for 4000 men.

As for the food, it was supported by the Hehuang Valley where Du Chuke was located, so much money and food was enough to support Wang Xuance to fight a big battle.

After all, he only has 3000 people in his hands, so why does he need so many cotton clothes and food! "

"It should be used to win over the surrounding alien races as miscellaneous soldiers!" Li Tai sighed,

"Furthermore, what Wang Xuance wants is only cotton-padded clothes. It is much more convenient than making cotton-padded armor. This request is not too much, just prepare them for them."

Li Tai couldn't help looking at Peacock while speaking, and said,
"You prepare this batch of materials, [-] catties of fried rice, [-] cotton coats, [-] catties of tea, and cane sugar for them.

The weather on the plateau is cold, so food like sucrose should be suitable. Let them eat a piece before the war to ensure their bodies are warmed up! "

"When do you want it?" Peacock asked Li Tai suspiciously after hearing Li Tai's words.

"Let the next batch of agricultural students drop by when they graduate." Li Tai said thoughtfully,
"Since Wang Xuance judges that Tubo will either launch an attack to destroy farming in March, or launch an attack in August for a decisive battle, then we will follow the schedule in August. Otherwise, even if we want to prepare, we may not have time to prepare!"

"Understood!" Peacock nodded, but his doubts were still unresolved, "Isn't Wang Xuance wrong in his judgment?"

To be honest, until now Wang Xuance has not shown any convincing results, and even he himself is a scholar with a background in judging wars.

Li Tai would trust Wang Xuance's judgment so much, which made Peacock a little confused!

At least from Peacock's point of view, the serious matter of war really depends entirely on Wang Xuance's judgment, okay?
Not to mention, Li Tai placed such an important bargaining chip.

Needless to say, as long as Du Chuke came to Luoyang, the work efficiency of the whole Luoyang would be greatly improved.

After all, in terms of enthusiasm for work, Li Tai really can't compare to the passion for work that is inherited from the Du family.

"No, even if their judgment is wrong this time, I'm willing to give him a third chance!" Li Tai said calmly.

It's nothing, just relying on the reputation of destroying a country by one person, unless Li Jing or Li Ji, otherwise relying on the combination of Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui, as long as I do the logistics for them, even if any of the legendary 72 generals matches them, I Also willing to pressure them to win.

The only pity is that if I had known that I would time-travel, I should really have studied history well, at least I would have memorized the 72 generals, so that I would know which long legs I should keep in the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, as for now, I should honestly trust those who have left their names in history.

Those who haven't left their names in history, even if they are really powerful, don't appear in my eyes, I can't see them!
"Then the next thing is the road construction plan of Henan Road!" Peacock no longer entangled, changed the subject,

"We have already prepared the industries needed for supporting the project, and now we are waiting for the imperial court to send people down, and the Wang family to gather the funds raised by the aristocratic families from all over the world!"

"Don't worry, let Wang Zhenru do the complete survey first!" Li Tai smiled and said,
"The plan at the beginning was more just to give the people of the court a concept, and it was different from the construction design drawings on site.

We can set the construction period only after the overall construction design drawing is produced.

Otherwise, even if the Zheng family sends over the money from the aristocratic family, we will just stare at the money. "

Seeing what Li Tai said, Peacock nodded, and then said to Li Tai: "Then the subordinates will dispatch this resource to Xihai first!"

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, and then looked at Lu Caidao, "It's a big project to repair the entire Henan Road road. I think we don't have enough craftsmen!"

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Lu Cai couldn't help but be a bit dazed.

"Let's hold a craftsman assessment contest!" Li Tai said with a smile, "The last time we built Zheng Baiqu, we didn't get a group of craftsmen who received documents issued by the imperial court, but also a group of excellent craftsmen from Zheng Baiqu who were presented with badges.

The whole work system we are going to create now can also be regarded as an assessment project, let those craftsmen come and try it! "

"Your Majesty, you mean to continue whoring a group of artisans for nothing?!" Lu Cai thought thoughtfully.

"Whore for nothing? What whore for nothing!" Li Taiyi said sternly, "We want to give the craftsmen an iron rice bowl that can be passed down from generation to generation!"
