Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 153 Back to the Door
On the third day after marriage, if the new daughter-in-law is close to home, according to the rules, she has to bring her husband back to her mother's house, which is called Huimen. If she is too far away, she usually only goes back once when she has children.

Since Guang'an just got married, Feng Daiwen endured not touching her for the past two days. They went out of the city early in the morning to bid farewell to Feng An, and then prepared gifts and went to the palace to greet Li Shimin and his wife.

The two were taken to the Lizheng Hall. The eldest grandson took a look at Guang'an and pulled him away, leaving Li Shimin to chat with Feng Daiwen.

"I want you to be in charge, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"My son is at my father's disposal." Feng Daiwen said respectfully, there was no way he could choose and choose before, but now that he has taken someone else's daughter, of course he can only let it be manipulated.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said: "There is no war in the Tang Dynasty for a short time now, so it's time to go to the ruling side to experience it. You can see where you want to go."

"Father made the arrangement, and my son has no objection." Feng Daiwen knew that Li Shimin should already have his own place in his heart, so he didn't think too much about it, and waited for the arrangement.

"The Turkic people on the grassland can't protect themselves now. Xue Yantuo and Huihe people are arresting them everywhere and exchanging them for property. Just yesterday, Khitan, Wei Shi, Mohe, and Dangxiang people wrote letters asking me to allow them to exchange captives for supplies. Haha, I agree." Li Shimin laughed heartily.

"Father Emperor Tianwei, all parties will naturally submit to him. My son thinks that there are many small countries in Nanyang with rich resources, and now they can vigorously use commerce to plunder resources." Feng Daiwen persuaded.

"I have already arranged according to your suggestion. Li Daozong guards Linyi Road, sits in Xianglin County, and also allows Funan and Chenla to mine mineral deposits and exchange them for porcelain, salt, linen, silk and other items. What else needs to be done? ?” Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"I think it's not enough. The climate in Nanyang is warm, and you can basically grow anything you want, so you don't have to worry about hunger. Those local people are very lazy."

"We can choose some meritorious ministers and let their families send people to contract the land in a small country, hire local people to help plant it, and the court only needs to collect a small part of the tax." Feng Daiwen explained.

"That's a good idea. I think many people are willing to go. Although it's farther away, we just need to arrange someone to guard it and find a few old farmers to guide us." Li Shimin clapped his hands and smiled.

"And you can encourage some small businessmen to go. They are the best at using people. There are moral constraints in Datang. For overseas, as long as they don't cause riots, let them do what they want." Feng Daiwen said coldly.

"This statement is inappropriate. Even though it is a foreign race, don't force it too much. Everything should be done properly." Li Shimin had no choice but to try his best to suppress Feng Daiwen's hatred of foreign races.

"What the father said is true, my son has lost his composure." Feng Daiwen took a deep breath and said.

"It's okay, you are also thinking about Tang Dynasty, and the method is also very good, I will arrange it." Li Shimin comforted.

"The summer harvest has been counted, and most places have a good harvest, with an increase of [-]% to [-]% compared to last year. I have already issued an order to promote three-crop rice and intensive cultivation throughout the country. Li Tai and Li Ke's Yexiang purchase has spread to the largest counties in the country. County." Li Shimin changed the subject again, and finally couldn't help but smile.

Although using Yexiang to make fertilizer sounds unrefined, and I don't think a prince should do it, but Li Shimin is not a pedantic person. How can he not clearly see such a good thing that benefits the country and the people? For the things that the two sons let people do Naturally, he is happy to see the success, and even adds fuel to the flames.

"Erchen proposed targeted training for soldiers, that is, training soldiers for different terrains. For example, many places are mountains and dense forests. If you want to go to war, it is best to have professionally trained mountain soldiers. They know how to distinguish directions. You can tell whether the water source is edible or not, and you can also know how to prevent snakes and insects."

"Another example is that Tubo is located on a plateau. If ordinary soldiers go up there, they will have altitude sickness, chest tightness and weakness, and even death in severe cases. This requires soldiers to adapt in advance." Feng Daiwen raised another question that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Well, it makes sense. Now that a new army is being formed, it's better to reserve soldiers for defense, and the others are scattered into thousands of troops, and go to various places for training, and do some things by the way, just like a few soldiers guarding the commercial Western Regions." Li Shimin tapped Coffee table, think about it.

"Father is wise, just like the grassland army is stationed now, it costs a lot of money, and you can leave a few teams of thousands of people to control the aliens to carry out the mission."

"Or let the private soldiers of the noble family organize to develop, and the imperial court will send troops to monitor and assist." Feng Daiwen analyzed seriously.

"Let private soldiers go to fight? Why do you have such an idea." Li Shimin always wanted to weaken the family, so he didn't want them to develop bigger and develop too strong, so the tribe was very reluctant to let the family and nobles clean up the small country, because these The locality is bound to be unable to stop the aristocratic families who are like wolves and tigers.

"This is all my son's fault. I got married the day before yesterday and chatted with the emperor's grandfather. I accidentally mentioned that there is a small country not far from Nanzhao. Its state-owned mountains are all made of jade." Feng Daiwen explained with a wry smile.

"But this thing?" Li Shimin got up and took out an emerald statue from one side and asked.

"It's exactly this thing. Grandpa Huang asked my son to think of a way. It's best to take this place without spending a single soldier. That's why my son made this proposal."

"But father, you don't have to worry about the aristocratic family becoming big. If they can gain something, the imperial court will only gain more." Feng Daiwen analyzed in detail.

"Well, yes, they can gain something, we can gain even more, and we can also weaken their military strength and find out the details, which is much better than hiding in the dark. Weiguo, you can see how to arrange it." The more Li Shimin thought about it, the happier he was. asked with his eyes wide open.

"Leave the matter of the battle to the aristocratic family. The captured people will be arranged by the court to build roads from central Shu to Nanzhao, and from central Shu to Chang'an. After the road is repaired, they can be mined. Nanzhao has many minerals such as silver, cinnabar, and saltpeter."

"The imperial court is responsible for providing them with weapons, protecting their rear, providing them with some medicinal materials and supplies, and also providing the imperial court with experience in mountain warfare." Feng Daiwen thought about it.

"That's right, I will issue a decree that any aristocratic family who is willing to go can go." Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"Father Huang is wise, the main reason for this is that the population of Tang Dynasty is too small. If there are enough people, it needs to borrow the strength of other people." Feng Daiwen sighed.

"Well, I've seen the map. The world is so big. I hope to lay a wide enough space for my descendants in my lifetime." Li Shimin looked outside the hall, as if looking at the whole earth, and said brightly.

"My son decided to help my father to unify the universe and conquer the world." Feng Daiwen stood up and clasped his fists.

"Haha, okay, I will let you accompany me to conquer the whole world, haha." Li Shimin patted Feng Daiwen on the shoulder and laughed loudly.
