Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Fang Yuan, you didn't joke with me last time?"

Wang Shiyu asked while holding back the shyness in her heart.

The last time Fang Yuan said something similar after rescuing her from the sea, at that time she felt that Fang Yuan was just making fun of herself and didn't take it seriously.

Now Fang Yuan mentions it again, making Wang Shiyu feel that it should not be a joke, but really want to build a steel ship for her.

"joke?"

"No, I've always been serious."

Fang Yuan was taken aback, then remembered what he said before.

He wasn't joking, but really decided to build steel ships.

Datang's navy is very weak, and it is somewhat behind Japan and other countries.

And if you want to face the sea and go further, steel ships are indispensable.

"I, I will!"

Wang Shiyu was shocked, it turned out that Fang Yuan really wanted to build a steel ship.

Can a ship made of steel really be placed in water without sinking?

If it can really be used for driving, many troubles at sea will be greatly reduced.

"Will what?"

Before Fang Yuan could respond, Du Miaoyan's voice sounded.

I saw Du Miaoyan coming from the backyard, holding the child in her arms, followed by Hongxu and Qingxiong.

"Miao Yan, little guy!"

Wang Shiyu was startled, and then happily walked towards Du Miaoyan.

She happily accepted Fang Jinxiu, and Fang Jinxiu did not refuse, and even reached out for Wang Shiyu to hug.

"Nizi, why don't you want me to hug you?"

Fang Yuan watched, jealous, immediately unhappy.

Mingming Wang Shiyu went back to Chang'an City with him, during which time Wang Shiyu came to Fangfu two or three times.

It's only been two or three times, and I've been with him every day, so why don't he hug him by himself, but Wang Shiyu? !
"Husband, your son's ghost is very strange, he wants to hug the woman he meets for the second time."

Du Miaoyan approached, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Only one year old, like a color embryo.

Such a child, will he be able to grow up in the future?
"So bad?"

Fang Yuan was greatly surprised.

She's so pretty, she doesn't look like herself at all.

"Yeah, I was shocked when I realized it."

Du Miaoyan nodded heavily.

Because of her identity, Du Miaoyan usually contacts with more people, and most of them are women.

Fang Jinxiu is still young and cute. Whether it's a woman or a man, they all want to be teased or even hugged when they see her.

And something strange happened.

Fang Jinxiu doesn't want a hug from a man, even if the other party shows up often, even Du He who comes here often.

Women such as Princess Changle and Princess Xiangcheng are different. Apart from not wanting to be hugged by the other party for the first time, they are familiar with each other when they come here for the second time, and they even take the initiative to let the other party hug.

Du Miaoyan didn't realize this at first, but she was shocked when she realized it later.

"It's terrible, how many will I have to marry in the future?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help sighing.

Seeing Fang Jinxiu and Wang Shiyu having a great time, I felt uncomfortable.

"I'm happy with how many he marries. The key is that you don't marry too many."

Du Miaoyan's tone suddenly changed, she looked at Fang Yuan sadly.

"I'm very restrained."

Fang Yuan shrugged, and didn't deliberately dodge.

Du Miaoyan pursed her lips, snorted, and looked at Wang Shiyu with complicated eyes.

Indeed, with Fang Yuan's status, he was indeed very restrained, and Su Ziqing and Gao Xiangyu were not what Fang Yuan wanted, one was accidental and the other was forced.

But from the current point of view, Fang Yuan is really restrained, but
Soon, Wang Shiyu carried Fang Jinxiu back to Du Miaoyan, expressing that she was tired.

Because Fang Jinxiu is now more than one year old, she usually eats a lot, about 30 catties.

In other words, Du Miaoyan's martial arts skills are not burdensome, and other mothers probably can't stand it for a long time.

That's why Hongxu and Qingxie followed Du Miaoyan, taking turns helping Du Miaoyan hold her son.

"By the way, what did you say you wanted?"

Seeing Wang Shiyu approaching, Du Miaoyan asked again.

Seeing Wang Shiyu's expression just now, Du Miaoyan was a little worried.

Wang Shiyu had a very close relationship with her before, and sent herself letters every now and then.

After a while, she asked about Fang Yuan from time to time, coupled with the shy expression just now, Du Miaoyan couldn't help thinking wildly.

"Fang Yuan said he wanted to build a steel ship, and asked me if I would like to be the person in charge."

Wang Shiyu didn't suspect him, so she replied naturally.

"Steel steamship? Is that possible?"

Du Miaoyan was not calm anymore.

She knew that Wang Shiyu almost died at sea during his trip to the Western Regions.

But Fang Yuan said that he wanted to build a steel ship, as if Fang Yuan happened to meet Wang Shiyu at sea.

"possible."

Fang Yuan smiled confidently.

Take Fang Jinxiu back in the direction of the hall.

Du Miaoyan sighed and looked at Fang Yuan's back, followed by Wang Shiyu.

If Fang Yuan didn't say this, she would definitely feel that the other party talked about it forever.

But Fang Yuan can even make weapons such as explosives and firecrackers, and there is a high probability that he can make steel ships.

Soon, the three came to the lobby to drink tea and chat, and talked in detail about how to form a team to build steel ships and so on.

In the end, Fang Yuan asked Wang Shiyu to go to the research institute to find Juzi, asked Juzi to choose someone for her, and asked Lu Xia to pay her.

The next day, Fang Yuan went to work as usual.

The insult was going to Huaxia Bank to report to Luxia early in the morning.

The two began to discuss the issue of rising prices and began to rectify.

When Fang Yuan got off work, Qin Huaiyu came excitedly just as Fang Yuan walked out of the gate of the palace.

"Fang Yuan, good news, Dongying King City has fallen, all countries have killed Dongying King City!"

Qin Huaiyu said excitedly.

His intelligence in Goguryeo and Dongying is faster than that of Fang Yuan and the imperial court.

"How about King Goguryeo and Princess Yayazi?"

Fang Yuan asked immediately.

For a country, only the death of the king and his heirs is the real destruction of the country.

Although Yayazi is not the heir of Dongpu, Yayazi has mastered Gu insects and occupies an important position in Dongpu.

"No news yet."

Qin Huaiyu's excitement faded a lot, he shook his head and said.

After he became a military commander, he naturally knew that the destruction of the royal family was called the destruction of the country.

However, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations entered the Imperial City of Dongying, so it can be seen that Dongying's time should not be long.

"Stay tuned!"

"By the way, go to the palace and report to the emperor."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He already knew about this, and he could enter the palace and report to the emperor, which is equivalent to a credit.

But Fang Yuan didn't choose to do this, he didn't take the credit originally belonged to Qin Huaiyu, but let Qin Huaiyu continue to report in the palace.

"I'm going right now!"

Qin Huaiyu said excitedly.

He entered the palace this time to report to the emperor.

I just saw Fang Yuan, so I explained the news to Fang Yuan first.

Fang Yuan nodded.

Soon, Qin Huaiyu told Li Shimin about the situation.

Li Shimin, who got the information, was naturally overjoyed, and immediately informed the officials to celebrate.

And Qin Huaiyu, who was the first to report the matter, was rewarded, and the negative impact of the defeat in Goguryeo faded a lot.

Fangfu.

Fang Yuan found Gao Xiangyu and told her about Dongpu's situation.

"Before the King of Dongying is caught, Dongying has not yet perished."

"Although the Allied Forces of the Four Nations entered Dongpu King City, they may not be able to destroy Dongpu."

"I am worried that Japan will use this opportunity to hold back the Allied Forces of the Four Nations and consume the strength of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations."

Gao Xiangyu said with a sullen face.

She is the princess of Goguryeo and knows a little about Dongying.

Not only do you know Dongying, but you also know countries such as Silla and Baekje.

If Dongying really perishes, it will not be good for Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje.

It is one thing to fight against Japan, but another thing to destroy Japan. After entering the city of Japan, these countries will change.

"I also have this worry, so I want to go back to Goguryeo."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Yes, he had the same worry.

The four countries of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Japan have always had internal conflicts, but they actually cooperate with each other externally.

Once Dongying is destroyed, only Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje will be left to face the pressure of the Tang Dynasty. I believe these countries will hesitate.

Even if the king of Goguryeo was supported by Fang Yuan, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Gao Tianzhi may not listen to Fang Yuan, so Gao Xiangyu needs to go back.

"Let me go back?!"

"Fang Yuan, you trust me that much?"

Gao Xiangyu thought she had heard wrong, and looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

I am the princess of Goguryeo, there is no reason to go back to help Datang and Fang Yuan?
"Miaoyan has been preparing to propose marriage to your brother for the past few days, but she is still preparing."

"This time you go back, if you don't want to marry me, you can choose not to help, and you don't have to come back, and Miaoyan doesn't have to work so hard."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

The reason why he made this decision was mainly to see Gao Xiangyu's choice.

If Gao Xiangyu wanted to marry her, she hoped that Gao Xiangyu would be with her, instead of being in the court and only in Han.

"Are you asking me to be a traitor?"

Gao Xiangyu's face was a little pale, and he looked at Fang Yuan with a complicated expression.

Going back to help Fang Yuan this time is equivalent to being a traitor of Goguryeo, betraying his own country.

"You can only choose one side, and the initiative is still in your hands."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

After speaking, he left directly.

Gao Xiangyu looked at Fang Yuan's leaving back with a complicated expression, unable to calm down for a long time.

Yes, the initiative is still in his hands, this is what Fang Yuan gave himself.

Fang Yuan can completely keep himself in Fangfu forever, even if he doesn't give himself freedom.

But, he didn't, he let himself choose which side he was on.

Obviously, Goguryeo is his mother country, the place where he was born and raised.

And Fang Yuan is just a man occupying his body
After Fang Yuan left, he found Du Miaoyan and told Du Miaoyan his decision.

Du Miaoyan naturally supported Fangfu's lack of a harem, so she had no objection.

After Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan finished speaking, they left Fang Mansion to discuss something with Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi.

But as soon as the front foot stepped out of the gate of Fangfu, people from the palace came over and told Fang Yuan to enter the palace.

Without any suspense, Li Shimin called Fang Yuan into the palace because of the destruction of Dongying King City.

Similarly, after being happy, Li Shimin and the others also had Fang Yuan's worries, and now they are discussing how to get rid of their worries.

"Your Majesty, I sent Gao Xiangyu back to Goguryeo."

Fang Yuan expressed his thoughts.

"Well, what if Gao Xiangyu doesn't help Datang?"

Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War who was present, asked immediately.

"It's best if she can help, but if she can't, there's nothing she can do."

"We can't just rely on her, we have to have other ideas."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Gao Xiangyu's choice should be the optimal solution.

But if she doesn't help, there's nothing to be done.

Datang could not completely rely on the help of an outsider, and needed other methods.

"Indeed, we still need to come up with other methods, and Gao Xiangyu's is just one of them."

Li Shimin said deeply.

There must be multiple plans for combat, so that you won't be in a hurry after one plan fails.

"Any other plans?"

Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, I thought that I would send more people to support me."

"If Goguryeo and other countries don't want to destroy Japan, then we will destroy it ourselves!"

Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

Destroying Dongying is equivalent to adding a piece to Datang's territory.

This is a great honor for every general, and Hou Junji, who is the minister of the Ministry of War, is no exception.

"inappropriate!"

"Now we are cooperating with Goguryeo and have contacts with each other."

"Once we add more people, maybe they will stab us in the back."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

Now that Japan has fallen apart, the meaning of adding more manpower at this time is clearly on the surface.

Goguryeo and other countries are not stupid, they will definitely not make Datang happy, even if Datang has such powerful force as firecrackers.

"Perhaps we can send ministers to meet the kings of these countries in private, and express their willingness to cooperate with them and give them generous rewards."

Changsun Wuji got up and said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard it, they showed contemplative expressions and subconsciously nodded.

"This method can be tried."

"Do you have a better way?"

Li Shimin nodded, then looked at the crowd.

Everyone still looked contemplative and didn't make any further comments.

"Then carry out two steps at the same time. Gao Xiangyu returns to Goguryeo and sends ministers to contact the kings of these countries to negotiate in private. Among them, Fang Yuan's step is the main one."

Li Shimin made a decision.

Focusing on Gao Xiangyu's step, the main reason is that the benefits that need to be paid are not high.

However, when negotiating with the kings of these countries in private, it is difficult to say what conditions the other party will offer.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Everyone flattered.

Changsun Wuji looked slightly uncomfortable, but he had no objection.

The meeting ended when the results were discussed, and everyone dispersed.

"Fang Shangshu, Changle has something to ask you, and I want to see you."

Li Shimin suddenly called Fang Yuan to stop.

The ministers paused slightly, and then left as if nothing happened.

But many ministers glanced at Changsun Wuji out of the corners of their eyes, their expressions were somewhat unclear.

As we all know, Princess Changle was to be betrothed to Changsun Chong.

But because of the protection law introduced by Fang Yuan, there is still no word about this marriage.

Maybe, there will never be an explanation, the eldest grandson's family is really at a loss.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan has no reason.

It is not appropriate to ask on the spot.

So it should be straightforward, wait for someone to take me to find Princess Changle.

But Fang Yuan is also very curious, why does Princess Changle ask him?
It seemed that he hadn't seen her for more than half a year.
