Chapter 585 Northeast
Chapter 581

Li Shimin said that he wanted to clean up Goguryeo, and asked Wei Hao if he had any suggestions. After Wei Hao heard it, he was very surprised. He didn't know what Goguryeo was doing. He read the Di Bao before, saying that Goguryeo often invaded the border and gave it to Datang. The military brings a lot of pressure,
Although it has not suffered much, there are many places that Datang's army can't take care of. These places are controlled by Goguryeo, and then many garrison points are surrounded by Goguryeo. In order to avoid greater casualties, those garrison points only Can retreat.

"So anxious?" Wei Hao still looked at Li Shimin in surprise and asked.

"Don't worry, if things go on like this, Goguryeo doesn't know how arrogant it is. That Quangai Suwen is now staring at our Datang, wanting to control the northeast direction, and challenging our Datang from time to time. Now we There has been no large-scale action against Goguryeo, so he is even more complacent, and I must teach them a lesson in this matter!" Li Shimin stood up and said very angrily.

"Since this is the case, let's fight. There is no hesitation. It's not a big problem for my Tang army to clean up Goguryeo!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Shen Yong, don't talk nonsense. It's not that easy to fight. There are many dense forests in Goguryeo. We are not familiar with the terrain there. If we act rashly, we will suffer. Although we are still investigating, the progress is slow. Many places It is not clearly marked on the map. This matter still needs a long-term plan. It does not mean that I, the Tang Dynasty, have no money to fight, nor does it mean that we cannot win the war, but that we cannot fight unprepared battles. Emperor Sui Yang dispatched 20 Wan Dajun, the result is almost annihilation of the entire army, this lesson is very profound!" Li Jing immediately persuaded Wei Hao, saying that he was afraid that Wei Hao would not understand military affairs, and gave Li Shimin some untimely suggestions, which would really make Li Shimin make up his mind to fight , not good.

"That's okay. Now our Tang army has gunpowder. If they are really surrounded, the gunpowder will be enough for them to drink a pot!" Wei Hao said, looking at Li Jing incomprehensibly. With the conditions to start a fight, if anyone provokes Datang, then prepare to be punished.

"That won't work. Although gunpowder is powerful, it is not useful for large-scale combat. Of course, it is fine to scare them, but once it is used more times, I am afraid it will not work! Besides, grenades are for close combat. It is useful, but the shooting distance is not as good as that of a bow and arrow, so I am afraid that the effect will not be great, and in addition to the dense forest, it may not be able to exert its power!" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and explained.

"Then use a projection vehicle to project it out. For large-scale combat, I still use my hands. Make it bigger and use a projection vehicle to project it. Make it as simple as possible. The mine of the transmission vehicle should not be too heavy, but it should be heavier than the The grenade is heavier, and the projectile vehicle should be simple and light. It is best that two people can carry it. When the time comes, you can see how many people from Goguryeo are enough for us to kill?" Wei Hao immediately said his thoughts.

"Huh?" Li Shimin heard that it was really good. The Ministry of Industry had never thought about it before. Now that it is projected like this, the power is not small. Li Shimin knows the power of grenades. In the northwest, grenades are used to prevent The Western Turks invaded the border, but made great contributions.

"Come here, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, come here, Shen Yong, tell Li Daliang what you just thought, let him arrange the trial production of the Ministry of Industry immediately!" After Li Shimin finished giving orders, he looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Okay, no problem, father, if you really want to fight, I suggest that you destroy the country directly, so that you don't encounter any suffering at that time, or if Goguryeo sent someone to negotiate, then negotiate, then it would be meaningless to fight like this , since Goguryeo has been so arrogant all the time, let’s stop at defeating Goguryeo, control the entire Northeast, and then concentrate on cleaning up the enemies in the Northwest, first to ensure that the rear of my Tang Dynasty is not chaotic!” Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin suggested.

"Well, then fight!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War needs to make a detailed plan for this matter! Don't act rashly!" Li Jing immediately stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"I know, it must be discussed, but now we must prepare as much as possible, and we must stabilize the northwest side. If the Tang Dynasty goes to war on the two fronts, it is not impossible, but it is too dangerous. We still have to be cautious. Yes!" Li Shimin nodded, then sat down and looked at Wei Hao and said, "Any other good suggestions?"

"Well, there are two plans, one of which is to make a quick assault, go straight to the capital of Goguryeo, and destroy the entire royal family of Goguryeo. At the same time, those ministers should clean up. The other is to advance steadily, don't give Goguryeo a chance, seize When it comes to human beings, they can't be released. They can be allowed to dig coal or repair water conservancy projects. Anyway, they can't be released.

I saw how many people in Goguryeo were enough for us to catch. It was so safe. Once all the fights were over, we could immigrate from our inland and give the people good enough conditions to let their borders take root and ensure the safety of our Tang border! "Wei Hao immediately said what he wanted to send, and it was useless if he couldn't control it after the fight.

"Well, what Shen Yong said is right. After the fight, we still have to immigrate there. The land over there is fertile. It would be a good idea to let the people of my Tang Dynasty immigrate there!" Li Jing also nodded and said.

"I'll talk about this later. When Li Daliang comes over, you tell him about the launch of the vehicle and let them do it as soon as possible. They are ready to attack Goguryeo at any time and come to make troubles every day. He really won't beat him when he thinks I am Datang? "Li Shimin sat down, and said a little angrily,

Soon, Li Daliang came over, and Wei Hao was also talking to Li Daliang about the projectile vehicle. The projectile vehicle does not need to be too big, two people or even one person can operate it best, and there is no need to project multiple things, at most two Three catties, after discussing with Li Daliang, Li Shimin kept them for dinner, anyway, it was almost noon.

"By the way, Shen Yong, my father has something to ask you, why do you want books?" Li Shimin thought of this, and asked. "Printing!" Wei Hao replied subconsciously.

"Printing, you boy, that's not how money is drawn. Do you know how much it costs for engraving?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao in surprise and said.

"That's right, Shen Yong, printing books is not worth it. It takes a lot of money to make a book engraving, so you have to be careful!" Li Jing who was next to him also persuaded Wei Hao.

"It won't cost much, it's okay, you will know when the time comes!" Wei Hao said to Li Shimin and the others with a smile.

"Can't you spend a lot of money? You, money is not spent like this. The emperor knows that you also hope that there will be more scholars in the world, but you can't print books like this, and you don't read books. It stands to reason that this matter I still need to do it, um, like this, Shen Yong, how much money did you spend on printing, when the time comes, the emperor will give it to you, these books, then give them to those students, this is originally for the world. Trick!" Li Shimin thought about it, and said to Wei Hao. "No, my son still expects this to make money!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Ah?" The four of them heard it and looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"Shen Yong, you can't do such a thing. It's better not to earn money for people who study. You said you are not short of money? Why do you earn this money?" Li Jing immediately pulled Wei Hao to persuade him .

"That's right, Shen Yong, are you still short of this money?" Li Shimin also said persuading Wei Hao.

"Hey, I can't explain it to you. In this way, forget it in the afternoon. It's too hot in the afternoon. I'll take you to see it tomorrow morning. I'm not so stupid. You can’t be so stupid, right?” Wei Hao didn’t know how to explain it to them. At first they thought that they were spending money to make money, and then they thought it was wrong to make money from those scholars, and it would be fine when they saw the printing factory. Well, then they'll know what's going on.

"No problem? Shenyong, the emperor is at ease with you, and he is afraid that you will do something foolish!" Li Shimin still said skeptically.

"Don't worry, father, and father-in-law, no problem!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively.

"Then tomorrow morning, I'm going to take a look!" Li Shimin nodded and said, still a little uneasy in his heart, although Wei Hao is good at everything, it is precisely because of everything that Li Shimin does not want him to be attacked by those scholars, Wei Hao got out the paper, and now those scholars are all grateful to Wei Hao, but if reputation is destroyed, it can never be built again.

After lunch, Wei Hao went back to his mansion, still didn't go out, the weather was so hot, Wei Hao stood under the eaves, looking at the clear sky and cloudless, knowing that this year must be drought,
However, Wei Hao is not very worried. The reservoirs in Luoyang have been established, and now the gates have been opened to release water. There is no problem in watering most of the farmland. Although the production will be reduced, it is also a place with higher terrain. will reduce production.

"Shen Yong, what are you thinking?" Li Siyuan came over with melons and fruits at the moment, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, it's okay, it's been sunny for so long, and it's difficult for people to give birth!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Well, there is still no problem with our Zhuangzi, but I don't know how Chang'an is?" Li Siyuan nodded and said, Wei Hao also has a lot of farmland in Luoyang, which was rewarded by Li Shimin.
Now these things are also managed by Li Siyuan. Li Lizhi manages the businesses outside. Li Siyuan manages all the expenses, farmland, and restaurant in the house. However, the restaurant is still under construction, and it will take about a month to build at the earliest. it is good,
Moreover, a hotel was also built. The hotel was also designed by Wei Hao. There are more than 300 rooms in total. Even the decoration style, Wei Hao has already designed it, including those furniture. It will open, and these are managed by Li Siyuan.

"There is no problem with Chang'an. I asked my father, and he said that the gate has been opened. This year, the food production in the government can still increase. In addition, the Jingzhao government has also posted an announcement that this year the Jingzhao government will buy a lot of food. Food!" Wei Hao looked at Li Siyuan and said.

"Well, that's good. Otherwise, Dad won't be able to do it alone. I'll ask my brother to help out." Li Siyuan nodded.

"Well, no, Dad will arrange it. The eldest brother and the second brother need to be on duty. How can there be so much time." Wei Hao waved his hands and said, and then helped Li Siyuan to the study room inside. It was a little cooler inside, and There are big trees next to the study, it is indeed a lot of shade,
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Hao was just thinking about going to the suburbs to see those seeds, when Wang De and Cheng Chusi came over.

"Why are you here?" Standing in the living room, Wei Hao asked in surprise after he had just finished breakfast when he saw them coming, and then told his servants, "Go and prepare some breakfast."

"Oh, no need, His Majesty will be here soon. Didn't you say that you want to take your Majesty somewhere? Early in the morning, His Majesty gave orders, and specially asked the two of us to come and call you first!" Cheng Chusi turned to Wei Hao He waved his hand and said.

"Oh, yes, but it doesn't have to be so early, right? Those workers haven't come to work yet, and they can't see anything in the past. In this way, I'll invite my father to come and sit at my house!" Wei Hao said going out soon

Not long after arriving at the door, Li Shimin's carriage came over.

"Shen Yong, let's go and see the books you got!" Li Shimin opened the curtain on the carriage and shouted at Li Shimin.

"Father, it's still early. The workers haven't left yet. Now that we've passed, we can't see anything. We have to wait a while, Father, why don't you take a rest here?" Wei Wei Hao stood there, greeted Li Shimin and said.

"Oh, haven't you gone yet? Okay, then sit down for a while and look at my girl!" Li Shimin heard it and said with a smile. Then Li Shimin got off the carriage and entered the mansion with Wei Hao. At this time, Li Lizhi also got up.

"Father, what happened, why did you come here so early in the morning?" Li Lizhi was still in a daze, she came to look at Li Shimin and asked.

"It's okay, I will go out with Shen Yong later, you go to sleep for a while, it may be too early!" Li Shimin said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Then I'm going to bed. It's hot at night and I can't sleep. It's a good time to sleep in the morning!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Go, go, you have to sleep well!" Li Shimin waved his hands quickly and said, Li Lizhi saluted Li Shimin with a smile, and went to the backyard.

"Come, father, drink tea!" Wei Hao poured tea for Li Shimin with a smile, and Li Shimin looked at the living room, and then said, "I said Shen Yong, it's too hot here, you can feel it in the morning." It's hot!"

"It's okay. When the new mansion is built, it will be cooler over there. There are only one-story houses here, and there are no big trees. The key is that it is hot this year. It is estimated that there may be drought in other places, but it is not a big problem. , It’s not like before, now there are reservoirs everywhere, no matter how dry it is, there is still water for people and livestock to drink, and in terms of food, as long as this period of time is over, there will be no problem!” Wei Hao sat there, Looking at Li Shimin said.

"Well, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has sent official letters to various places, asking them to report on the drought problem. I have also read the memorials from various places. For the time being, there is no major problem, but this year's drought is certain, but we have built a lot of reservoirs in the past two years. I guess still works,

In the future, the Ministry of Industry will build more reservoirs, but this will take time. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will be well governed. Now all the money will be spent on the people, and relatively little will be spent on the military, but it will be done well. People, when we fight in the future, we will not say that there is no food!The people will not suffer from poverty, this is the key! "Li Shimin sat there, nodded, and said with emotion,
The Tang Dynasty has changed a lot in the past two years. There are a lot of taxes. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have been doing things. The people can also feel the changes in the court in the past two years. They are also very supportive of Li Shimin. Many places praise Li Shimin as the emperor. Well done.

"Well, we can fight next year. I don't think it's a big problem. Luoyang's taxation is estimated to be more than 30 yuan per month. With the bonus from the royal family, it is estimated that 600 million yuan in a year will be no problem, which is enough to support it. Hit Goguryeo!" Wei Hao thought for a while and said.

"It is precisely because of you and Luoyang's development that I dare to say that we will fight. We can't continue to delay. The people on the border are also the people of my Tang Dynasty. We can't ignore it!" Li Shimin also nodded and said.

"By the way, father, don't mention it. The land in the northeast is very fertile. If it can be reclaimed, it can feed many people, but it can only be planted for one season.
In addition, it is very cold, so heating is not a big problem. Now my Tang Dynasty also has coal and iron stoves. At that time, it is possible to use coal for heating, but it only needs money. But if the people in the Northeast have enough income, we will I believe it is still possible. If you are not willing to use coal, you can also use firewood, but the houses over there need to be built very thickly! "Wei Hao was thinking about developing the Northeast.

"Well, let the Ministry of Industry handle this, and let the Ministry of Industry design heating for the winter. If you have any suggestions, tell Li Daliang directly." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded,
After a while, Wei Hao felt that the time was almost up, so he went to the printing workshop with Li Shimin. As soon as he arrived at the printing workshop, he saw many workers dragging out the paper from the warehouse, and then began to cut it.
At this time, a worker dragged a train of bound books out of the workshop, ready to be sent to the warehouse.

"Wait a minute!" Li Shimin looked at it, it was amazing, there was a pallet of books, and the cover was still brand new, Li Shimin picked up a book from the pallet, and found that the printing was very good, and the font was also very beautiful, Then I looked at the covers on the cart and found that they were all the same book "Zhuangzi".

"Shen Yong, have you printed so many?" Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.
