Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 187

Hidden Tang.

Baoge, Qige, and Nongge.

These were all Li Yi thought over and over again on the way back to Chang'an.

Because his military front is strong, it only deters foreign enemies and expands the territory for a short time.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Yintang was created to make up for his shortcomings.

Li Yi said that he created Baoge to open up the wisdom of the people.

But that's just one of them.

There are also two uses, that is, to influence the public opinion of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how great your achievements are, you will not let the person on the dragon chair have a reason to confront you.

And I was able to hire outside of the city in a straightforward manner.

Secondly, it is to collect information from various places, so that I can understand the affairs of various places in the Tang Dynasty even when I am outside.

It's not the kind of news that is blocked, and you don't know until something big happens, you can know it in advance and take countermeasures.

After all, the news in ancient times was blocked, whether it was natural disasters, man-made disasters, or marching and fighting, it was a blemish.

This is not what Li Yi wants.

Opening the Qi Pavilion is to increase one's own frontier, fight against foreign enemies, reduce the casualties of one's own soldiers, and expand the territory more quickly.

To deter countries that submit to surrender, as well as those who have evil intentions.

The establishment of agricultural pavilions is the most important thing.

As Li Yi said, food is the most important thing for the people.

Now the Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous, but in fact, only some areas are rich, and the people of the Tang Dynasty in other places are still not full enough to eat and not warm.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, marching and fighting, even consume supplies.

Not to mention money, food and grass alone required a lot.

In this case, the people who are already hungry will be oppressed by exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which will cause the people to live in poverty. In addition to the corruption of officials, it will only be a matter of time before the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

The purpose of the Nongge is to feed the common people and have surplus food for the family, so that people can feel at ease no matter they encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Marching and fighting, with ample food and grass, the soldiers can also be full of blood, and the food and grass are destroyed, and there is no worry about the future.

This needs to be used. The two things that Li Yi obtained in Bian Seoul (Speer City) are extremely high-yield and taste good.

Enough to feed the people.

When he got these two things, Li Yi really thanked the city lord Ent for not ruining them, and he didn't know where he got them from.

When he wanted to find Ent, he captured him alive and questioned him, but was told that he had been killed by the assassin who wanted to assassinate him, which made Li Yi's face full of regret.

After digesting Li Yi's words, Li Bai cupped his hands and said, "Young master is always impeccable and unpredictable when doing things."

"I can understand that this is you Taibai scolding me for pretending to be profound?"

Li Yi smiled, as if joking.

Li Bai was taken aback, "Young master, don't be scary, Taibai dares to think so."

Then he said with a melancholy face, "It's just that every time the young master said something, Taibai couldn't understand it. He felt that he didn't understand anything. It was useless to read the sage books for so many years."

"Ask if you don't understand." Li Yi smiled, and patted Li Bai's arm on tiptoe, "I want science and technology to prosper the Tang Dynasty. The road is difficult, not as difficult as the road to Shu in your poem. You have to be prepared."

"Technology prospers?"

Li Bai was dumbfounded again.

But they also heard Li Yi's meaning, they will embark on a difficult road.

Then he bowed and said firmly, "Taibai is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the young master."

"I trust you as you trust me."

Li Yi accepted it readily, and then said, "Go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me, I will wait for you in the villa outside the city later."

"My lord, be careful, Taibai will leave."

Li Bai is not hypocritical, he does have a lot of things to do, especially Li Yigang's three cabinet remarks, he must finish as soon as possible.

He understood that Li Yi wanted useful people.

As Li Bai stepped out of the room, Li Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said to the two black robes next to him, "Xu Zhu arranges to let Yanyun Eighteen Riders lurk in the newspaper pavilion to protect Li Bai's safety, and at the same time Help transfer moveable type printing utensils."

Having said that, Li Yi paused, and then said, "Arrange the soldiers of the Nether Ghost Army to find a way to monitor King Qing Li Cong and Crown Prince Li Heng."

"The last general takes orders."

Xu Zhu nodded, turned and stepped out of the room.

In the house, only Li Yi, Dian Wei, and a ghost army were left.

Another moment passed.

Dian Wei, who couldn't stay idle, stepped forward and asked, "My lord, where are we going now?"

"Old Dian, don't you want to drink?" Li Yi raised his head and asked.

Dian Wei froze for an instant, and smiled mischievously, "Don't make fun of me, my lord, the general knows his mistake, can't you?"

"Who made fun of you?"

Li Yi shook his head with a smile, and said, "You and I dress up, and I'll take you to drink."

"Really?"

"Is it good for Ben to lie to you?"

Dian Wei was overjoyed.

At this time in Chang'an, the people had all gone home, and the streets were bustling again.

Because Li Yi's coffin had been sent back to the Mansion of Iron Blood Marquis, only dignitaries and nobles, generals and kings could enter the mansion.

The common people can only possess and worship, and then disperse.

A tavern.

"Boss, serve two jugs of good wine and some good dishes."

A child sat down on the stool angrily, and yelled at the top of his voice.

Followed by two big men, one is tall and dark-faced, and the other is ordinary-looking.

After shouting, he said to the two people behind him, "Sit down, there is no wind here, so you don't need to stand behind to block it."

Two people see this.

One of them rubbed his palms and sat down, while the other was expressionless.

These three people are Li Yi and the other three.

At this time, Li Yibai's hair was already black, and the white mask on his face was also taken off. From a distance, his skin was as white as snow, his facial features were carved like jade, and there was still a little baby fat, just like a porcelain doll.

But when he walked in, he found that there was a blue mark on his face.

The appearance has changed drastically.

"Oh, who's young gentleman is this? He came out looking for wine at such a young age?"

A woman in red and white linen clothes came out of the inner hall, quite pretty.

At this moment, he walked up to Li Yi with his mouth covered and a chuckle, put down his drink, and looked at the three of Li Yi with twinkling eyes, his eyes full of doubts.

Li Yi laughed instead, "Oh, whose little lady is this, she is so beautiful, does she have a husband's family? How would I look without you? She is cute and caring."

"This..."

The hostess of the tavern was taken aback.

It was the first time she met such a six-haired child, it was so interesting.

Can't help pretending to be sad and said, "Xiao Langjun, you are too young, what can you do if you marry me? You don't want to find A Niang, do you?"

"Pfft..."

Dian Wei, who had just received the drink, spat fiercely, resisting the urge to laugh, and stared at the hostess of the tavern.

Li Yi glanced at Dian Wei.

The corner of Dian Wei's mouth twitched, and his face turned to the side.

But Li Yi covered his heart and cried sadly, "Little lady, my heart is pierced...you have to buy me a drink."

"Xiao Langjun, you are really a rascal."

The owner of the tavern spat and cursed, and then said, "Two jugs of high-quality sweet-scented osmanthus wine, one tael of silver."

Change face extremely fast.

Obviously someone who has experienced the friction of reality, exquisite and full of faces.
