I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 471: Eastern Palace Dispatches Troops
"of course."

"You should also tell them not to worry. As long as they protect their own prefecture, I will deploy troops to other border areas." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I accept the decree."

The messenger bowed respectfully and quickly left the hall.

"Let's continue the discussion." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

But his face no longer had the joy of the rapid progress of the state-owned fertile land.

I was infuriated by this act of selling out one's country for personal gain.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"The business tax reform has now been extended to the entire Tang Dynasty. Now all the business routes of the Tang Dynasty are connected. The court has lifted all restrictions on merchants and opened up private workshops and trade routes."

"Not only the heartland of our Tang Dynasty, but also the trade routes of Jiaozhou have been opened."

"Since the commercial tax reform, 60% of the main source of tax revenue for the Tang Dynasty has come from commercial taxes. Moreover, with the opening of trade routes, it has also boosted the livelihood of the people in the Tang Dynasty. With the opening of workshops, many people have also gained more livelihoods."

"For the country, the commercial tax reform is a great achievement." Changsun Wuji stood up and said.

“This skill.”

"No need to say anything more."

"It was all thanks to Li Zheng's implementation. Otherwise, I really would not have started the commercial tax reform." Li Shimin nodded, putting all the credit for bringing about this great change in the world on his own son.

after all.

As an emperor, he has the power over the life and death of tens of millions of subjects and can get whatever he wants.

To leave a name in history, to leave a good reputation in the vast river of history is the pursuit of countless emperors.

For the great emperor Li Shimin, he no longer cared about his reputation.

He walked out from a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

What he wanted to do was easy to understand: to create a dynasty where everyone could have enough to eat and where there were no corrupt officials.

This is also related to his experience, which is different from that of his royal son.

Li Shimin had even higher expectations for his own son. He wanted his son not to be remembered for too many murders, and it would be best if he could go down in history as a benevolent and righteous monarch.

Not only will commercial taxes be changed, but there will also be changes in the reduction of feudal lords, royal family offerings, and land matters. Once completed, all the credit will be attributed to Li Zheng.

It will be recorded in history.

Li Zheng, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was a ruler who was both civil and military, and also a benevolent ruler.

"Start the Emperor..."

The court meeting continued.

Overall, in the few years after Li Zheng was appointed crown prince, the changes in the Tang Dynasty were visible to everyone. Even ordinary people could clearly feel that they now had land to farm.

East Palace Hall.

The six ministers gathered together.

Li Zheng sat upright in the main seat.

"It was just decided in the court."

"The Turks are still determined to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and the influx of ironware into the northern border is the trigger," Li Zheng said coldly.

"What His Highness said is absolutely true."

"Your Highness hurt them badly back then. Now, a few years have passed and they have recovered a little, so they are setting their sights on our Tang Dynasty again." Li Jing said with a sneer.

"Minister Li."

"You will personally supervise the deployment of troops."

"If the Turks dare to mobilize troops, we must defend with all our strength."

"Once I have completely resolved the internal problems of the Tang Dynasty, I will be able to deal with them."

"We should focus on defense now. After all, I don't know when they will mobilize their troops." Li Zheng looked at Li Jing and said.

"I understand, old minister." Li Jing nodded.

"Minister Qin."

"The same goes for the mobilization of food and fodder. The grain reserves in various government warehouses are on standby at all times. As long as we mobilize troops, we can immediately transfer food from the nearest government warehouse." Li Zheng looked at Qin Jiansheng again and said.

"I understand." Qin Jiansheng responded immediately.

"Open the Shangshu."

"In the past few years, I have been paying attention to farmland and tax reform, and have not paid much attention to the Ministry of Industry. How about the weapons I gave you?" Li Zheng drove towards Kaiji again.

here.

Li Zheng has been fully prepared for the coming war.

Over the past few years, Li Zheng has been changing the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty, trying to strengthen the national strength as much as possible, just to lay the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to go on an expedition and create the Tang Dynasty that never sets.

but.

If the Turks, or even other foreign tribes, dare to cause trouble, Li Zheng will definitely not be polite and will definitely strike back. The Tang Dynasty has not mobilized troops for several years, so it is just right to use them for training.

"Your Highness."

"The Shenwu Cannon was successfully developed by the Ministry of Industry a month ago. At the current speed of the Ministry of Industry, twenty cannons can be forged in a month."

"The shells needed for the Shenwu cannon have also been successfully developed. If we manufacture them with full effort, we can produce fifty shells a day." Kaiji said excitedly.

Hear this.

Li Zheng smiled: "Okay."

"I will devote all my energy to forging the Shenwu Cannon and the matching shells. I will give you the manpower and the money if you want it."

"Once it is forged successfully, have the Ministry of War immediately send it to Youzhou Prefecture in secret."

Kaiji, you immediately bowed and said, "I accept your order."

After explaining many things.

All the ministers from the six ministries withdrew.

At this time.

"Daddy."

"we are coming."

"Come and play with us."

A little boy of eight or nine years old, followed by a little girl of five or six years old, and two little boys of similar age. At the end, there were two little boys about two years old.

See this.

You will understand it naturally.

These are all Li Zheng’s descendants.

four years ago.

After Li Daozon and Hou Junji came back, they asked the Ministry of Rites to find a good day for him to marry Li Yuan and the Nanzhao Princess Du Qiong.

After marriage.

They also gave birth to two sons for Li Zheng.

have to say.

Li Zheng was really destined to have many children. Except for his daughter Li Yan, all the others were sons.

"Li Xian."

"Take my brothers and sisters to practice."

"I'm going to do a spot check in two days."

Looking at his many descendants, Li Zheng said with a smile.

"father."

"you see me."

Li Xian smiled triumphantly and started practicing his skills directly. A wave of internal force burst out from Li Xian's body.

Li Zheng took one look and smiled with satisfaction, "Boy, not bad, you have already reached the seventh level of the acquired realm in less than two years of cultivation."

"Dad, look at me."

Li Yan also practiced her skills with a proud look on her face, and the aura of the fifth level of the acquired realm was revealed.

"And me, Dad."

The other sons also practiced their skills and displayed their cultivation levels.

Except for two sons who are over one year old, the others have already stepped into the threshold of cultivation.

After all, they are Li Zheng's sons, and Li Zheng has provided them with a lot of resources. As long as the offspring reach the age of three, Li Zheng will start practicing for them.

This is also the future path of the Tang Empire.

“They’re all pretty good.”

"As expected of my children."

Seeing his children displaying their abilities, Li Zheng praised them with great joy.

"Dad, can you take us out to play now?" Li Xian asked with an expectant look on his face.

"Dad still has a lot of government affairs to deal with. How about this, Dad will let the Wind God take you out to play."

"How is it?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

"Great."

Li Xian nodded immediately.

The other descendants were the same, all looking excited.
