Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

No one knew what the content of the letter was, but people around could be sure that the letter came from Suzhou.

Liu Bai's words carry more weight than anyone else. Under normal circumstances, people will not object to his opinions, and facts have proved that it is never wrong to believe in Liu Bai.

However, this time, many people raised objections.

"Master, this subordinate thinks this method is inappropriate."

No one thought of the person who raised the objection first.

Shen Wansan, who rushed to Yuezhou immediately after getting the news, slowly stood up.

"The envoys sent to the country of Wa are a matter for the court and Taiji. The subordinates don't know about it, so they won't express their opinions at will. However, it is not realistic to return the resources of the country of Wa. Most of the minerals have already been put into production, and there are even some castings. The weapons have been delivered to the soldiers of various places, and the silver mines mined from the country of Japan have also become the necessary reserves of the Datang Gold Group."

He didn't make it very clear, but everyone's heart skipped a beat.

The meaning is already quite obvious, if you agree to Wa Kingdom's request to make peace with them, the price will be no less than Li You's death

There is a very sad fact.

The land of the Tang Empire is vast and rich in resources, but for some specific resources, it is indeed very scarce.

The minerals from which weapons are made are insignificant.

After so many years of operation in the country of Wo, the iron ore mined is not as good as the output of Youzhou Iron Mine in half a month.

But the silver mine cannot be returned at all.

There were too few silver mines in Datang, but Japan was rich in silver mines.

Once the silver stored in the Datang Gold Group leaves the warehouse, it is completely passive.

This is much like deposit reserves in banks of later generations.

It is conceivable that when the silver leaves the Datang Gold Group, some people controlled by the Japanese will immediately rush to redeem it. At that time, the Datang Gold Group will have no other choice but to go bankrupt. .

And the Datang Gold Group is the foundation of the money printing bureau.

The bankruptcy of the Datang Gold Group means that the plan for paper currency reform has completely collapsed.

Therefore, no matter whether you agree to the request of the Wa country or not, the result is no different. This is a dead end where it is difficult to find a way out.

Chapter 1721 Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, evil comes from the gallbladder

This meeting did not achieve the expected results.

Because there were too many opposing voices, Liu Bai couldn't completely act according to his own will.

As big as a country, as small as an organization, or even a family, a single word is the way to kill.

Liu Bai didn't have hundreds of brains, nor was he born a saint.

His words can certainly play a big role, but in comparison, his real role is to make overall plans, not to do things beyond his ability.

In terms of wisdom alone, he might not even rank among the top five in this family.

What he has always insisted on is that there is a specialization in the art industry, and professional things should be left to professional people.

It is enough to grasp the general direction.

It was not Liu Bai's wishful thinking to make peace with the Wa country.

It was because of the letter he received from Suzhou City before the meeting!

After everyone left, Liu Bai left Li Tai and Li Ke behind.

He showed the letter to the two of them, and they remained silent for a long time after reading it.

"Is the prince planning to smash the jar?"

Li Ke said something heartlessly, which attracted the other two people to glare.

Li Tai read the letter over and over several times.

His expression was indescribably wonderful.

It seemed to be both gratification and fear, and there was a bit of indescribable complexity in it.

"The prince needs to consider the issue from his own point of view, but through this incident, I suddenly discovered that he is still the same as when he was a child, and our brotherhood has never changed, even if he becomes the master of this country in the future, it will be the same the same"

Liu Bai gently rubbed his temples, and brought the letter over.

"I have conveyed Chengqian's meaning. It doesn't matter if others know it or not, but you brothers need to help him decide. He has turned Suzhou and Yuezhou into a huge powder keg. If Li You is in danger, Then it is the result of burning jade and stone together."

After finishing speaking, he was silent for a long time before continuing: "No one wants to see jade and stone burn together. You brothers grew up together. It stands to reason that the two of you know more about Chengqian than I do. How to do it, you can figure it out.”

Liu Bai stood up and walked out slowly, when he came to the door, he stopped again.

"Don't have any psychological burden. Life is the most precious thing. Even if you die, it's just a new start. I have this psychological expectation."

After speaking, he didn't stay any longer and walked out.

Li Tai and Li Ke looked at each other.

After a long time, Li Ke smiled wryly and shook his head.

"According to the prince, after handing over all the silver reserves in the Datang Gold Group, on the surface it seems to be a peace with the Japanese country, but in fact it is a big gamble. I have to admit that the prince has a big situation, but is he right? crazy?"

Li Tai rubbed his hands unnaturally.

"He is our elder brother, logically speaking, we should trust him completely, and he is still the prince, logically speaking, we should also obey his orders"

As Li Tai spoke, his hands slowly dropped, and he pinched hard on his thigh.

"However, paper money reform is the general trend, and we can't afford to lose. If the paper money reform is shelved because of this matter, one can imagine how furious the father will be. At that time, even if Li You is rescued, the crown prince What to do, he never thought about it, leaving a way out for himself."

The situation of the two brothers can be described as a dilemma.

If they follow Li Chengqian's plan, they are at least [-]% sure that they can bring Li You back.

At the same time, Wa country will be completely controlled by them.

But whether Li Chengqian's crown prince can be kept is another matter.

According to their understanding of the emperor, even if they rushed to Chang'an immediately, knelt outside the Zichen Hall, and begged for three days and three nights, they might not be able to keep Li Chengqian's crown prince.

To put it bluntly, if they really followed Li Chengqian's method, the emperor would be very lucky if he didn't directly hack Li Chengqian to death.

The biggest possibility is that Li Chengqian used paper money to reform, as well as his own position as the prince, and died with the Japanese kingdom.

The two brothers frowned and worried for a long time, but they couldn't think of a good way.

However, the only thing they can be sure of is that no one in the entire Jiangnan Road can successfully solve this matter.

However, this does not mean that there are no other places.

"It's a pity that Mr. Shou Renhao has returned to Chang'an. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to help us come up with a perfect solution here."

Li Ke said with a sigh.

Li Tai's brows twitched violently a few times.

"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and evil is born out of courage. Even the prince can sacrifice everything to help the fifth child. Why can't we?"

Li Ke was taken aback by his words.

"What do you mean?"

Li Tai narrowed his eyes, fierce eyes erupted from his eyes.

"There are some things that brother Liu can't do. He needs to consider the interests of everyone in this circle, but we don't have so many worries. Compared with the prince, I, the king of Wei, and your king of Shu, are nothing. , simply don’t want this throne, and fulfilling our brotherhood is worth the money!”

Li Ke's mouth twitched a few times.

"You don't mean to go directly to Mabu Mountain and tie that boy surnamed Bai here?"

Li Tai said coldly: "Why not? Even if that boy surnamed Bai doesn't have much weight in front of his father, he is at least a figure. If he can't even keep his own son, who would give his life to him?"

"If you do this, you can indeed save Li You. In the hearts of others, he is just a corner character, but if you do this, it is equivalent to forcing Wang Chen to a dead end."

"I don't care so much anymore, Wang Chen has lost Yuezhou's territory, at worst I will give him Yuezhou!"

Li Ke scratched his head vigorously, and when he was about to scratch his scalp, he slapped the table hard.

"Done!"

Li Tai looked at him, no matter how he looked in his eyes, it was full of gloomy feeling.

"I gave him Yuezhou, but the thousands of people on Mabu Mountain are completely ruined. You still need to find a way for these people."

Li Ke sighed.

"Forget it, anyway, the Shuzhong side is about to be completed, so it's not difficult to send people over, but Chu Mo's side..."

Wang Chen relied on the Mabu Mountain to obtain meritorious service and passed Liu Bai's test before he was able to get Yuezhou.

Cheng Chumo relied on the Dujiangyan water conservancy project in central Sichuan to obtain meritorious service.

Li Tai and Li Ke must sell enough price to be able to compensate them.

"I will give up Yuezhou to Wang Chen, and you will give up Shuzhong to Chumo. If you want to do something, I will ask Shanguang to mobilize people. This afternoon, I will attack Mabu Mountain!"

Chapter 1722 Look at the meaning, it's about to tear your face

Make a plan, and the rest is just execution.

The Li family brothers are all strategic talents, they are not practical people, because at their level, many things do not need to be done by themselves.

The person Li Tai sent out was Zhi Shi Shan Guang, the head of his guard.

Li Ke didn't have many guards around him.

The head of his guard had retired from the palace.

Two young men with the title of fifth rank hurried from Yuezhou City to Mount Ergui.

After bumping into each other, they immediately dispersed and dispatched their troops.

Li Tai's fief was originally in the south of the Yangtze River, and he could travel back and forth from Yuezhou to Yuezhou in a day.

Li Ke's fief is in the middle of Shu, so it is obviously unrealistic to go back and rescue soldiers now.

So, he put his relationship on Lu Dunxin.

Today's Lu Dunxin can be said to be the most powerful among the governors.

Not only in front of the governor of Yuezhou, but also the governor of Suzhou.

Although he is a civil servant, his family background is extraordinary, and he can mobilize local government soldiers with just a quick note.

After two days, they each raised two thousand elite soldiers.

4000 people are more than enough to deal with bandits on Mabu Mountain.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in this era are definitely the most powerful in the world.

From the point of view of land warfare alone, the government soldiers even surpassed the twelve guards of Chang'an City!

Because of the twelve guards, most of them are cavalry and heavy infantry.

Their advantage lies in long-distance raids and guarding cities.

Obviously, the generals who command the army cannot be selected from within the imperial court.

Li Tai and Li Ke went to see Liu Bai and pried Master Sun Ren over.

General Sun, who commanded an army of [-], was in high spirits. He was riding on a horse, holding a huge lance in his hand, which did not match his figure.

It is very difficult for students who graduated from military academies to have the opportunity to truly lead the army.

Almost every graduate was selected by the Ministry of War.

No one is willing to let talents like them fight for their lives on the battlefield.

At the foot of Ergui Mountain!

Master Sun Ren thrust Ma Qian hard into the ground.

"This trip must be a quick battle, not a fight, and the most important thing is to capture that kid surnamed Bai alive. If he dies, you don't have to come back!"

Li Ke made a sullen face, threatening the four thousand and one people.

Li Tai sang "Bad Face".

He said with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense. This trip is not much different from playing. It's just a bunch of bandits. Don't put too much psychological pressure on you."
