Cultivation of chastity

Li Tai didn't have much interest in Xue Yantuo's affairs, because Li Tai knew very well that when the northern barbarians couldn't beat the Huaxia people in a frontal war, they basically entered the countdown to death.

Because the rise of any nation requires national centripetal force.

No ancestors of their own nation have saved a way for the future of their own nation, so that the people of their own nation have a sense of honor for their own nation.

Otherwise, in the face of advanced civilizations, not to mention that they may be assimilated after defeating their opponents by force, let alone they who cannot even protect themselves by force now.

Basically, Datang is now waiting for the death of Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan. As soon as he dies, he provokes his son to fight against each other, and then finds an opportunity to kill both sides. Finally, the grass seed project represented by the agricultural school began to take root in the north.

At least after several years of experimentation, this model of planting pastures and allowing them to resettle the tribes on the spot has worked well in both Youzhou and Xihai County.

Many nomadic peoples have changed their grazing mode of living by water and grass.

If you think about it carefully, it is also in line with human nature that the farming model replaces the nomadic model.

After all, since ancient times, occupations that guarantee income from droughts and floods have been sought after by people, and becoming a civil servant is like becoming a master.

Even if grassroots civil servants are at the bottom working on manuscripts every day, working overtime every day, and receiving the cheapest wages at the brightest age of their lives, they still have to smile in front of outsiders. It’s just the usual expenses, and it’s their own treats that have to be hesitated Yu's.

But even so, civil servants are still the best choice for pragmatic people, because the vast majority of people are risk-averse.

It's just that unless any society can draw resources from the outside world to support itself, it will be involuntary, except for the top few who can use others as pawns, otherwise the whole society will be forced to work hard.

And planting grass is just to make these alien people change from a nomad who lives in the world to a special farming nation who can at least have a foothold in the grassland.

But if you want to really digest the grassland people, it's not enough to rely on this. It's just to let yourself have a clear goal when you fight them. What's more important is to bring them into Datang's system economically.

It doesn't mean to let them live well, which is probably the standard of Daqin's 33 taels of silver, so that they can't starve to death, but they can't live very well.

There is no way, the bottom-level things are not done by the people of their own country, so they need to be done by people of other races, and after all, they need to be done by someone.

At least if the productivity has not developed to a certain level and cannot form a self-circulation in energy, then the overall social structure will always tend to the pyramid mentality, at most, the people at the top of the pyramid are different.

Which nation in this world is not fighting for crossing, but Li Tai hopes that the leader is Datang.

Therefore, Xue Yantuo's future, Li Tai has clearly arranged, only a suitable opportunity is needed to completely digest it.

However, this time Li Tai went to the palace to find Li Shimin, not because of Xue Yantuo, but because of the funeral of Goguryeo.

In the past, Goguryeo didn't affect his plan, so Li Tai just planted some holes for Goguryeo.

One day Li Shimin wants to crusade against Goguryeo, then he will detonate it conveniently.

But now, since the existence of Goguryeo has affected his overall planning, it is impossible for him to watch Li Shimin attack Goguryeo on a whim one day. Of course, he must find a way to promote this matter.

"Qingque, you're not at home with Wan'er anymore? Why are you free today?"

Li Shimin was also a little surprised when he saw Li Tai coming to the Taiji Hall to find him, so he called him into the hall and asked him directly.

Recently, Li Tai's life rhythm is just running between Chidao and Wei Wangfu, especially with the construction of Chidao, a bunch of families wanted to see Li Tai, but Li Tai avoided seeing Li Tai. Li Shimin was still very satisfied.

When Li Tai heard Li Shimin's words, he saluted and replied, "Report to Aye, Goguryeo invaded Silla, and the envoys sent by our Tang Dynasty went to reprimand them. If they don't listen to our Datang's words, then are we going to attack Goguryeo?" gone?"

Li Shimin couldn't help being taken aback when he heard Li Tai's words, thinking in his heart why did Li Tai start to care about this matter?

Because Li Shimin also knew that although his son had been targeting Goguryeo since he was a child, he didn't have much interest in attacking Goguryeo itself.

All the layouts are as long as they haven't turned their faces, then Goguryeo has no idea whether Li Tai is giving poison or candy.

It was also true that the whole court did not support Li Tai's layout, at least they did not oppose it.

Li Shimin would feel strange now that Li Tai suddenly became active. This is not in line with Li Tai's character!
"Why are you interested in this?" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "Don't you usually ignore this?"

"Because if it is confirmed that Goguryeo is really going to be attacked next year, the plan against Goguryeo will be fully launched this year!"

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and explained very seriously.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin frowned and said:

"It will be fully launched this year? If it is fully launched, what will be the impact if there is no fight next year?"

"Our army's reserves will suffer a little, but as far as the overall relationship between the two sides is concerned, the impact will not be great!" Li Taisi thought.

Still the same sentence, as long as you don't really do it, no one will know whether Li Tai is sending candy or poison.

Hearing Li Tai's words, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth couldn't help twitching.

At this time, Liu Ji who was beside Li Shimin came out and said, "I wonder if I can listen to Wei Wang's conspiracies?"

Li Tai glanced at Liu Ji, for some reason, he always felt that this important minister who became a servant after Wei Zheng, that is, a high-ranking official under his family, was quite pleasing to the eye.

Li Tai naturally didn't know that according to the original history, Liu Ji could be regarded as King Wei's mastermind.

Both he and Cui Renshi supported Li Tai. Cui Renshi had better luck, and Emperor Taizong died of exhaustion during the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo.

But Liu Jie was not so lucky. Chu Suiliang made him commit suicide in prison because he was accused of something unfounded.

Li Shimin may have acquiesced in this matter out of the idea of ​​​​preventing Liu Ji from abolishing Li Zhi in the future and supporting Li Tai again.

There is no way, Li Zhi in front of Li Shimin in history is too white, and I am afraid that Li Zhizhi is not enough for Liu Ji.

Li Shimin really didn't expect that Li Zhi, who had always been soft and weak in his opinion, would be so cruel when he became so cruel.

When Li Tai heard Liu Ji's words, he said, "Where should we start talking about this matter, um...

Let’s start with the growth and growth time of corn. After all, the staple food of Goguryeo is corn. "

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard Li Tai's words, but he didn't stop him, but listened to Li Tai's continuation.

When Liu Jie heard Li Tai's words, he made an invitation, and also looked forward to what Li Tai would say.

And Li Tai calmly said, "The production cycle of corn is about spring plowing and sowing, and autumn harvesting, I think everyone knows.

Over the years, we have implemented the policy of replacing millet with wheat, so with the implementation of imitation in the north of Datang, wheat has become the mainstream crop.

And this kind of crop is usually planted in autumn and harvested in summer. There is enough time difference for this matter itself! "

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Li Tai's words, and said in a deep voice:
"What do you mean, after we harvest the summer grain and wheat, we can raise troops to attack Goguryeo, and we can even feed the enemy at that time."

"This should be a matter of the timing of the dispatch of troops. In fact, the overall plan can still be pushed forward, which is why I came to see you, Aye, today.

This year, we will take the initiative to collect Datang corn, and then sell it directly to the people of Goguryeo at a very low price during the autumn harvest in Goguryeo.

So what will happen to the people of Goguryeo who have finally grown food this year? "

When Li Tai said this, his tone was somewhat gloomy. If he added some music, he might become the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Cheap grain hurts farmers," Cui Shiren, who was on the side, couldn't help closing his eyes when he heard this.

He can already imagine what kind of treatment those Korean farmers who have worked so hard to plant for a year will be treated.

"Well!" Li Tai nodded and said, "Then I will continue to buy Goguryeo's special products such as ginseng and deer antler fur at high prices, and use economic means to guide the people of Goguryeo to abandon farming in pursuit of huge profits, so if I conquer Goguryeo next year, will there be more chances of winning! "

"Wei Wang is clever!" Liu Ji couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead when he heard Li Tai's words.

To be honest, Liu Ji always thought that King Wei was a diligent and honest person, and never thought of the other side of King Wei's pursuit of the country.

And Li Tai continued at this time, "At the same time, we can use this matter itself as a cover to gather the grain that was originally spread all over the country to Youzhou, and build a granary generously.

Then the corn was sold to Goguryeo, and the flour was stored in Youzhou as food for the conquest of Goguryeo.

At that time, even if Goguryeo is suspicious, I am afraid that it will not be able to find anything for a while.

Because we are really gathering corn from all over the country and selling it to Goguryeo.

At that time, next year I will really plan to conquer. If the Chi Dao can be connected, it will take only one month for soldiers to travel from Chang'an to Youzhou. "

Li Shimin's eyes became brighter when he heard this, and he looked at Li Tai more and more appreciatively.

As Li Jing said, if Li Tai rises to the national level, then Li Tai is really very likely to become a famous coach.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to conquer Goguryeo, you not only need to mobilize the power of the whole country to crusade, but if you are not careful, there will be a crisis of overthrow.

But now under Li Tai's arrangement, the original crusade against Goguryeo from Chang'an has changed to the crusade against Goguryeo from Youzhou.

I don't know how much the distance has been shortened just by the strategic change in this space, and the impact this brings, no matter in terms of organization or efficiency, is completely different.

"It's really your habit to always cover up the real plan with a plan!"

Li Shimin couldn't help rubbing his palms together. Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin could not wait to attack Goguryeo immediately.

As for Liu Ji and Cui Renshi, they looked at Li Tai in a daze, because they had just arrived at the top of Datang, so they really didn't know about this series of plans.

On the other hand, Du Ruhui stroked his beard, admiring Li Tai's gaze.

Du Ruhui watched Li Tai walk all the way, and it seemed that the plan to crusade against Goguryeo was very light, but if counting from the change of the cultivation type that King Wei replaced corn with wheat, the whole plan to conspire against Goguryeo might have taken 15 years.

It is the accumulation of these 15 years, watching Wei Wang complete the layout of Goguryeo little by little, until now even he thinks that he has almost achieved the ultimate in seeking the country.

If Goguryeo can't be defeated in this way, Du Ruhui thinks that if there is one general on the front line, it's better to wipe his neck, and don't occupy the position to make it difficult for the latecomers to rise.

And Li Tai continued at this time, "In addition, if possible, the war can be turned into a protracted war, and I will do the logistics. Even if the defense of Goryeo City cannot be captured for a while, I can guarantee the supply of supplies in winter!
At that time, winter will no longer be a friend of Goguryeo, but a friend of our Tang Dynasty! "

"Wei Wang, do you want to recommend yourself to raise logistics?!" Liu Ji couldn't help being a bit surprised.

"Students from the agricultural college are all over the canal. It is the best choice for me to do the logistics for the crusade against Goguryeo. At least I will be in charge of the logistics to ensure that no one on the front line will be hungry even in winter!" Li Tai is very serious road.

Li Shimin was in a daze when he heard Li Tai's words, and then he came back to his senses. Since Li Tai became an adult, from Youzhou to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Hangzhou, where the influence of students from the entire agricultural school is the most common, it may be the Kanto region .

After all, to some extent, Li Tai is already a representative of the interests of Kanto.

It's just because of Li Tai's familiarity with Jingzhao's grassroots when Li Chengqian rebelled, which made Li Shimin feel that Li Tai was quite popular.

But now Li Shimin realizes in a trance that Chang'an is his basic position, and Guandong is Li Tai's basic position!

At this time, Li Shimin really realized how complicated his father's eyes were when he looked at him.
But fortunately, Li Chengqian rebelled, otherwise I don't know if I will promote Li Zhi and Li Chengqian to check and balance Li Tai!

Fortunately, there is no need for this now. After all, I hope that my sons can survive well, instead of being forced to kill each other. Li Zhi is facing the current Li Tai. Li Shimin dare not think about this scene.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked calmly, "You just said that if you don't attack next year, you will lose something!"

"En!" Li Tai nodded and said, "Scheduling materials, stockpiling materials, and purchasing special products from Goguryeo at high prices all require money and food.

It doesn't matter if we fight next year, but if we don't fight for a long time, it doesn't matter where the materials are piled up.

The cost of maintaining materials alone costs a lot every year. "

"Say no!" Li Shimin waved his hand directly and said, "I know you have a solution!"

"Okay, but if there is no fight within two years, I will handle it at that time, and I will find a way to earn some money!" Li Tai said helplessly.

"Can you still make money?" Liu Ji couldn't help being surprised.

"Liu Shizhong, you may not understand the significance of Youzhou to the north!" Li Tai looked at Liu Ji and said,

"It's really not possible, there is still Xue Yantuo, at least to make wine from those grains, Xue Yantuo can take as much as he has.

After things have scaled up, it is actually quite difficult to lose money! "

"Okay, you go down and arrange it!" Li Shimin didn't want to hear this guy bragging here, the most important thing is that the bragging can be realized.

Li Shimin said, "Even if we don't conquer Goguryeo next year, we will do so in the future."

"Of order!" Li Tai replied decisively.

One update today, don't wait any longer
