Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

"That's not true. I heard that [-]% of the merchants in the Western Regions have been detained. The specific situation is not clear. We are not the only one." Wu Zhao explained.

After a moment of silence, Du Shaoqing seemed to be planning a countermeasure, and then said to Wu Zhao: "I'm afraid the court is more anxious about this matter than we are, and I will go to the palace to inquire about the situation later.

It just so happens that you are here, I am going to put Cui Hao by your side for a period of time, and you will guide him how to do business. "

Wu Zhao said in a daze: "You, let a son of a noble family learn to be a businessman? God, Qinghe Cui will probably fight you desperately if he finds out."

"So, I need you, the teacher's wife, to help keep it secret." Du Shaoqing drifted away after speaking, and went out towards the palace.

When Wu Zhao came back to his senses, there was no one in front of him. The little girl stomped her feet angrily, and said brokenly: "This bad guy, idiot, wood, came to find you so hard, so I don't know how to care about me, my girl. I sacrificed my life for you."

A small figure appeared at the door poking around, and after hearing Wu Zhao's complaint, he immediately ran out and shouted: "Oh, it turns out that sister Xiao Wu came to see daddy for something, but because she wanted daddy to take care of her, hehe , I’m going to tell Dad right now.”

Yeah!

Wu Zhao exclaimed, and hurried over to grab Xiao Xuanxuan, "You little girl, why are you hiding here and eavesdropping on what adults are saying? You can't tell your father, are you shy?"

"Why are you shy? When Xuanxuan wants her father to care, she will tell her directly." The little girl opened her two lovely big eyes and said cutely.

Wu Zhao rested his forehead with one hand, really speechless, "Forget it, forget about it, why are you here? It's wrong to eavesdrop on what adults are saying."

"No, Xuanxuan didn't eavesdrop. I wanted to come to see Daddy. They said Daddy was talking to Brother Cui Hao and wouldn't let me come. I waited for a long time and couldn't wait, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be alone here .

Sister Wu, what are you up to recently?I don’t come to play with Xuanxuan, you don’t know, some time ago, my father locked me at home and made me study all the time, it was boring.”

Well, the two girls, one big and one small, chatted like this. Wu Zhao was still full of complaints to Du Shaoqing, but listening to Xiao Xuanxuan talking about her sufferings, it was very interesting. It turns out that the world of children is so cute.

When Du Shaoqing came to the Palace of Political Affairs, he found that many important ministers had already gathered inside. Emperor Li Er's face sank like water, obviously he was not in a good mood.

And the ministers below whispered that the generals had already had a dispute.

"Boy, you are also here for Gaochang's affairs. Don't worry, we are already discussing who will lead the army. This time let him spit out Gaochang's capital and profits." Cheng Yaojin greeted Du Shaoqing with a smile.

Du Shaoqing laughed: "Isn't that right, Du's Chamber of Commerce has also detained a lot of westbound merchants, and they are worried about this matter. If we open up the business routes in the Western Regions earlier, we can make a fortune sooner, right?"

Li Er, who was in the middle, shouted angrily: "Bastard, you are also a member of the high-level court, why is your mouth full of copper stink? How can the two countries fight to open the way for you to make a fortune?"

Cheng Yaojin pouted his mouth, which means that that person is in a bad mood, don't get into trouble.

But Du Shaoqing didn't care, as if he didn't see the face of the other party, he respectfully saluted the emperor and said: "Which general leads the army, my son-in-law has no objection, but what my son-in-law can guarantee is that if Gaochang is taken as my Tang territory , give me two years of construction, and I will be rich enough to raise [-] troops in Gaochang in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Er exclaimed: "Really?"

Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Du Shaoqing.

Du Shaoqing jokingly smiled: "I'm afraid my father-in-law will blame me for being full of money again."

Hearing this, Li Er was furious, and scolded with a smile: "You boy, you are not doing anything right, you are discussing important national affairs, be more serious."

Seeing Du Shaoqing nod seriously, then turned around and walked to the last seat to sit down, everyone knew that this son-in-law did not talk empty words, and was very capable in developing finances. The filling of the Tang treasury was almost entirely dependent on others, so no one doubted his guarantee.

Li Er got up and said loudly: "Since that's the case, let's send troops this time to do our best."

"Here, Your Majesty, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, the last general"

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chi Jingde wanted to ask for orders, but Li Er waved his hand to stop him and said, "Although Gaochang is small, it has been operating in the Northwest for many years, and it is backed by the Western Turks, so don't be careless, just do your best to be safe.

As for Junji, you just came back from taking troops out of the Southwest, so take a rest first, and battles will be inevitable in the future. "

Hou Junji was a little disappointed, and Li Ji said, "Old Hou, what is your expression? You are the only one who knows how to fight when the room is full? Besides, how much credit do you have for destroying Tubo? This Gaochang still wants to snatch it from us? It should be let Let's do our best."

The implication is that you can't always compete with us for merit. Although Hou Junji is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he and Li Ji have always been incompatible with each other. Great work, it seems that Li Ji has been overwhelmed, and now Li Ji is also a little anxious.

When Hou Junji heard what the other party said, he joked a few words, but he didn't continue to argue.

Wei Zheng, among the ministers, was a little worried: "We just destroyed Tubo, and now we are changing hands to destroy Gaochang. With such frequent wars of destroying the country, I am afraid that the whole world will change.

Apart from other things in this battle, Gaochang has always relied on the West Turks as its backer. If the West Turks send troops to help, then this battle will require an expedition, and I am afraid that it will not be good for us. "

"What are you afraid of? If the Western Turks dare to intervene, they will be wiped out at the same time, just to expand the territory of my Tang Dynasty." Cheng Yaojin shouted.

"Okay, I want to say what Lao Cheng said too," Yuchi Jingde echoed.

Li Er scolded with a smile: "Is the Western Turkic so easy to destroy two rammed goods? How many years have we prepared for an Eastern Turkic Jieli?"

Li Ji coughed lightly: "You two are brave and invincible, why don't you let them go?"

The two black-faced generals lost their temper in an instant, Yuchi Gong was stupid, Cheng Motou smiled coyly, and said to Li Ji: "What's the matter, we can fight in battle, and we are not very skilled in commanding the national war, this time you will take the lead, Mao Gong. We'll go with you."

This guy doesn't even blush when he says it, what do you mean he's not very skilled?As if you commanded the national war?Don't you blush when you brag?

Li Er saw that all the generals were united in one mind, full of fighting spirit, and finally his mood improved after the rain. At this point, if the Western Turks dare to reach out, they will not refuse anyone who comes, just play our prestige.

As long as we can occupy the land of Gaochang as a pass, and let my Tang Dynasty develop for two years and raise [-] troops to station all the year round, the Western Turks will be the ghost of my Tang Dynasty sooner or later. "

All the warriors stood up one after another, saluted together and said loudly: "Wannian of the Tang Dynasty!"

Chapter 369 Profiteer Du Shaoqing (two in one will be updated tomorrow)

After retiring from the court, Emperor Li Er summoned Du Shaoqing alone and asked him about the management of the Western Regions. There were too many people in the hall before, so it is not appropriate to explain in detail.

Of course, it is imperative to attack Gaochang. Regardless of whether Du Shaoqing has a plan to manage Gaochang, Datang will send troops, because Gaochang has been stuck in the throat of the Western Regions for too long.

"After taking Gaochang, tolls will continue to be charged, which is a major source of local economy." Du Shaoqing said.

Li Er was puzzled and said: "After taking it, I will be the people of Tang Dynasty, we can't charge high tolls to exploit the people, this amount of money can't support the people of Gaochang.

Taking the Western Turks and increasing the population will greatly increase the pressure on my Tang Dynasty. Adding a Gaochang may not be a good thing. "

Du Shaoqing said calmly: "Listen to me, Gaochang is different from Tubo, Gaochang can grow food crops, let's clean up the bad government system there, and the people will be self-sufficient.

Even in the bitterly cold place of Tubo, isn’t there still highland barley planted?The people's inability to survive is not because of insufficient food resources, but because of excessive exploitation by the upper class. "

Sighing, Li Er also knew this, and said helplessly: "The difficulty of my Tang Dynasty lies in the expansion and expansion, and there is a serious shortage of grassroots officials, so I have repeatedly urged you to open a school.

It's a pity that the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are really abominable. They actually followed suit and ran schools, and spread all over the country. It was obvious that they were fighting against the imperial court. "

"Leave aside the school affairs, talents cannot be cultivated in a short while.

I have an idea for Gaochang, to make it a springboard for my Tang Dynasty to develop westward. In the future, we can sell the good things of our Tang Dynasty to the far west along the Silk Road. Well, the value of those goods is immeasurable. "Du Shaoqing longed for wealth all over the sky.

Li Er said coldly: "It's a beautiful thing to think about, the land in the far west? The long journey means that the cost will increase. Leaving aside the danger, how much profit can be made from the freight consumption of people eating horse chews along the way?"

Du Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and then gave the old father-in-law a contemptuous look that the other party couldn't understand. Li Erlao blushed and scolded: "You're talking about business, what are you doing so weird?"

"Fortunately, you are a monarch and not a businessman. Otherwise, if you are allowed to do business, I'm afraid you will lose your clothes."
