Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 217 Li Yuanji’s horror, the family’s migration to the south?

After finishing these things, Li Yuanji called Xie Shufang over.

"Shufang, you took Songtsen Gampo to see him. Has he changed in any way? Did he say anything?"

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang curiously. Although he did not expect to scare Songtsen Gampo because of these things, he really wanted to know about Songtsen Gampo's reaction.

Xie Shufang smiled when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that when this kid saw the warship, he was so amazed that he reached out to touch it from outside, with a look of fascination on his face. Then he took him inside to have a look. When he knew that the ship could be sold, his eyes lit up.

Later, I took him to the camp outside the city. When he saw the appearance of our army, his face was shocked. I was watching his reaction all the time. The slowness and shock he showed were not fake.

He was only given a brief overview of the army's drills to prevent him from learning from them, and the key points were not shown to him, but he still looked amazed.

Especially when he was shown the previous and current weapons later, I saw his Adam's apple rolling and cold sweat on his forehead. When the new weapons could easily pierce the original weapons, his whole body was shaking.

This kid is very interesting. When he looked at the new weapons, he couldn't take his eyes off them and couldn't move his feet. His eyes were full of desire. He kept asking me if we should sell this weapon. He was willing to pay a high price, but I didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Finally, he tried it himself. When he learned that these were all made by the king, his eyes were as hot as the scorching sun in the sky.

I only found these, as for what he was thinking, I don’t know. ”

Li Yuanji listened quietly. After hearing the last part, he was a little confused about what this person was thinking. But Li Yuanji was sure that Songtsen Gampo must have been afraid and also excited. As for the final excitement and the heat in his eyes, Li Yuanji could not understand it.

Worship him?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Li Yuanji felt it was impossible. Although the quality of the weapons produced had improved by leaps and bounds due to the epoch-making progress in smelting technology, it couldn't be like this, right?
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji simply didn't bother to think about it anymore. If the current weapons and military might could only scare him, then he would wait until he got the explosives out and let Songtsen Gampo see the power of the explosives. I wonder if that would scare him to the point of peeing his pants?
In such an era, the power of heaven is unpredictable. Would Songtsen Gampo think that Li Chengqian is a god from heaven and become his follower?

Li Yuanji was looking forward to it. He really thought Songtsen Gampo was a good person. Moreover, with him, after occupying those places in Tubo, he would not have to worry about the problems of governance and rebellion. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Li Yuanji put away his smile and looked at Xie Shufang.

"Okay, don't worry about him for now. Wait until the explosives are ready, and then take him with you to see their power."

Speaking of explosives, Xie Shufang has now come to his senses and has even more respect for Li Yuanji. Since he can make such a thing with divine power, he believes that Li Yuanji is the son of God. Only in this way can Li Yuanji withstand the divine punishment from God.

Fortunately, Li Yuanji didn't know what Xie Shufang was thinking, otherwise he would really jump up and hit him. Did he think that he would be fine even if he was hit by explosives? If Li Yuanji really had this ability, he would not have been so cowardly in Chang'an and would have directly attacked Li Jiancheng and Li Er.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Yuanji had a big meal of nourishing food, and then consciously walked towards Yang Qingwan's room. At this time, Li Yuanji really discovered that sometimes there were too many people in the harem, and it was not so good.

If Yang Qingwan goes here, she can't not go to Wei Gui's place, right? Then the two women tossed around for a while, and they couldn't rest for too long, otherwise they would toss around for even longer.

Now there are only two, Yang Qingwan and Wei Gui. When Wu Shun and Wu Mei grow up, there will be four of them. Li Yuanji gets a toothache just thinking about it.

Li Yuanji now understood why there were so many resentful women in the deep palace. There was only one emperor, and although the number of three thousand beauties in the harem was an exaggeration, there were still dozens of people, and some even hundreds of people. It was destined that some of them would endure the loneliness in the deep palace.

In addition to loneliness, there is also the targeting of others and the cold stares. Even palace maids and eunuchs sometimes have to endure the bullying of these people.

To put it bluntly, the struggle in the harem is just for the emperor. If you win, you will get more opportunities and a higher status.

Li Yuanji no longer thought about those messy things. Anyway, there were few people in his harem now and everyone was harmonious. Yang Qingwan, the mistress of the harem, was doing a very good job and he didn't have to worry about anything. Thinking of this, Li Yuanji was happy.

When we arrived at Yang Qingwan's room, even though it was already dark, we could see that Yang Qingwan was simply dressed.

"Husband, you are here, please sit down."

Li Yuanji sat down with a smile, then hugged Yang Qingwan over. The two chatted for a while, and then began their journey.

In the early morning, the sun shines on thousands of homes. Li Yuanji completes his daily tasks and still insists on exercising. Although there was no fighting all night last night, it was still quite long. Especially the new moves that emerged made Li Yuanji even more tired.

After exercising, just as I was about to go out, Cen Wenben hurried in.

"Jingren, what happened that's making you so anxious?"

Cen Wenben was not in the mood for small talk and immediately got down to business.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from Chang'an."

Li Yuanji was shocked: "No, this happened only a few days ago? Chang'an responded so quickly?"

Cen Wenben was speechless: "Your Majesty, the letter we sent hasn't arrived yet. How could it be so fast? This must have been sent in advance from Chang'an."

Li Yuanji was not embarrassed. He opened the letter and started reading. The more he read, the heavier his expression became. Finally, he gave it to Cen Wenben.

"Take a look."

After reading it, Cen Wenben also became extremely serious, with his brows furrowed.

"Li Shimin selected all the craftsmen in the world and summoned them all to the palace, and had them under strict supervision. It seems that there really is a better smelting technology. It seems that the Tang Dynasty will also start to replace a large number of new weapons in the future.

Then he organized a group of leaders from the aristocratic families to conspire. The process and specific topics are unknown, but in the end, all the aristocratic families gave money and grain to Li Er to alleviate the shortage of money and grain in the Tang Dynasty court.

The last piece of news was that Li Er selected a large army for training, and for the sake of convenience, he even started training directly in the palace. It seemed that Li Er was irritated by the Turks and me, and wanted to take revenge.

I don't care about the two pieces of news. Li Er is destined to not catch up with us in smelting technology. As for training the army, there is no need to worry about it. I just want to know what Li Er said to these noble families that made them willing to contribute money and food.

I don't believe that these people who have been sucking blood will suddenly voluntarily bleed one day.

"Has there been any news from Yang and Wei?" Li Yuanji was very serious. He had anticipated Li Er's actions and there was nothing surprising about them. What was surprising was that Li Er actually convinced these aristocratic families. Li Yuanji was really surprised and curious.

Once Li Er gets the help of the aristocratic families, he will recover much faster. According to Li Er's current arrangements, through foreign trade and what he gets from the aristocratic families, I'm afraid the time for revenge on the Turks will be advanced.

Then Li Yuanji thought of a more urgent problem.

"Jingren, have the people in Chang'an check how many troops Li Er has sent to Japan. We originally thought that Li Er had no money or food, so even if he sent troops, they would only be 10,000 or 20,000.

Now it seems that our estimate was wrong. With money and food, Li Er would definitely not send only 10,000 or 20,000 people. It must be more. We must find out how many troops Li Er sent to Japan this time."

Then Li Yuanji called Xie Shufang again.

"Shufang, you must immediately send a message to Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui, telling them to be careful and keep an eye on the movements of the Tang army. Also, immediately send a message to Yu Minghe, asking him to lead another 10,000 men over!

Send a message to Xi Junmai and Feng Ang, asking them to speed up the migration and free up the army as soon as possible so that they can be deployed to the battlefield!"

Xie Shufang immediately hurried down to pass on the order, and Li Yuanji felt even more heavy-hearted at this moment. He thought that he would have the upper hand in the Japanese battlefield this time, but now it seems that it is simply impossible. With this money and food, Li Er will definitely take out most of it to support this war.

After all, he could strike him down and block his development path. He didn't believe that Li Er was not interested in this.

Now Li Yuanji had only one idea, that is, Li Er must not send Li Jing. As long as it was not Li Jing, Li Yuanji felt that Su Dingfang could be beaten by anyone else.

Cen Wenben was frowning and looking gloomy. After a while, he spoke slowly.

“Your Majesty, there has been no news from Yang and Wei yet, but I guess that as long as Yang and Wei know about this, they will definitely send a message.

The king's army invaded the Tang Dynasty some time ago, and people all over the world have seen your strength. These noble families will certainly not give up on you, especially the Yang and Wei families, who have a natural close relationship with you and will certainly write to you.

As for the army sent by Li Shimin, Your Majesty can have people focus on the Tang Dynasty's dock. If Li Shimin's army wants to go to Japan, they must take a ship, but for safety reasons, they should go around Baekje. Your Majesty can also ask Yuan Lin to pay attention to this matter."

Li Yuanji still frowned after listening to this. Yang and Wei have a natural affinity? That's true, but in aristocratic families, there is no friendship, only interests.

Now that Li Er is in power, things are very different from the time when Li Yuan was in power. In the past, these people could still lay eggs in two places, but now, Li Yuanji himself has little control.

Cen Wenben also saw Li Yuanji's worry and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Let's talk about Li Shimin's expedition to Japan. I estimate that the army will not exceed 50,000. If Li Shimin wants to send troops to Japan, he will have to use a large number of navy. The focus of the Tang Dynasty has always been in the north.

The navy in the south has a total of only 150,000 people. At least half of the navy must be mobilized this time, not only to transport the elite troops sent by Li Shimin, but also to cover the elite troops in the war and ensure the subsequent transportation of money and food. Any less will not work.

The strength of our navy is no longer a secret. Li Shimin will certainly pay attention to this, especially the commander-in-chief, who must take this into consideration.

Moreover, even if Li Shimin could reach an agreement with the aristocratic families and learn to use the king's method to earn money and grain through foreign trade, the money and grain brought by foreign trade would not be able to reach the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time, not to mention that the money and grain had to be transported to the south.

This time, Li Shimin would definitely use the reserve money and grain in the southern warehouses, but Li Shimin would never mobilize too much, which limited the number of his troops.

In addition, our army has the advantage of military equipment, and Li Shimin's army will definitely not be able to replace its military equipment with new ones. We have an absolute advantage.

So the king does not need to worry about this matter. Since Su Dingfang has been sent, the king should trust Su Dingfang and he will definitely be able to defeat the army sent by Li Shimin."

Li Yuanji listened carefully. At this time, he also realized that he was a little nervous. Even though Li Er could free up some money and food to use for military operations, there must be limitations. It was just tens of thousands of people, so he could still handle it.

Especially since Su Dingfang was sent out, he should indeed trust Su Dingfang, unless he went to command himself.

Cen Wenben paused for a moment and continued, "As for the Yang and Wei families, your Majesty, don't worry. Previously, the Yang and Wei families mainly bet on the crown prince and your Majesty. Although Li Shimin is in power now, they will lose a lot if they vote for Li Shimin.

Now that they have surrendered, they have paid a higher price, and it is just icing on the cake, and what they get is not enough. Even if Li Shimin wants to give more, others will not agree. If the Yang and Wei families can get more, others will also demand more benefits than before.

This is inevitable and will not change according to Li Shimin's will. Moreover, Li Shimin will not let those who originally supported him get the same thing as Yang and Wei.

On this basis, coupled with the strength that the king has revealed, and the fact that the queen and the most talented people in the Wei clan are almost all here with the king, I even have a prediction that the Yang and Wei clans will probably move to Lingnan with their people, and only leave a small number of people in Chang'an to cooperate with the king's actions.

Because people all over the world have seen the power of the king, he can definitely compete with Li Shimin for the Tang Dynasty. In addition, with the prosperous trade, there are only a few indigenous families headed by the Feng and Ning families. The arrival of the Yang and Wei families, because of their natural relationship with the king, basically do not need to pay again, and can get more.

And apart from the Yang and Wei families, all the aristocratic families that had not been so on good terms with Li Shimin before would probably move to Lingnan.

Today, the king's fiefdom is becoming more and more extensive and is no longer limited to Lingnan. Due to various factors, I believe that the possibility of migration of the clans will be greater.

And Li Shimin would certainly not stop it. Once Li Shimin took action against the aristocratic families, it would inevitably cause panic among the aristocratic families all over the world, and they would all help the king to lead the troops back to Chang'an.

Moreover, Li Shimin certainly did not want these people to continue to stay in the Tang Dynasty and become the king's assistants in the future.

These are just my guesses, but I think the possibility is very high. "

Li Yuanji frowned and thought hard. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Cen Wenben was right. Whether from the perspective of current interests or from the perspective of the future, both the Yang and Wei families might do this.

Now the Yang and Wei families are already in decline, not as good as the Five Surnames and Seven Prominent Families. Once the Yang and Wei families bet on him, if he succeeds in the future, the Yang and Wei families can take the opportunity to surpass the Five Surnames and Seven Prominent Families, or reach such a height.

The key is all the aspects he showed, it really is possible.
