Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 217
"Since this is the case, I will pass on my order to dispatch a total of 5 people from Khitan, Huihe, and Turks to Wodao, and hire Shiwei, Dangxiang, and Mohe people to go there. The personnel are not limited to young and strong, and the rewards will be increased.

Passed the decree to Lingnan, and Jiangnan increased shipbuilding efforts.Before the beginning of spring, as many captives as possible were transported back to help spring plowing. "Looking at the map, Li Shimin thought that he could take Goguryeo lightly, so he was excited and ordered loudly.

"As for the generals, young generals can be transferred, and Duke Wei can arrange it. All nobles, aristocratic families, businessmen, craftsmen, anyone who is literate and has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty, who has not been a scholar, and who has good conduct can all go. Go to Wei Zheng's place to sign up." Li Shimin paused, then continued.

"I will obey your orders!"

Following Li Shimin's decree, it caused a lot of discussion in the Tang Dynasty, but it was basically on the good side. Because the people had more captives to work, the tax has been reduced and exempted many times in the past few years, and the labor has been reduced a lot. Occasionally, a little labor, It's just a small way of life in this county, and it's very short-lived.

The happiest thing is that businessmen, craftsmen follow this imperial decree, which means that not only now, but also in the future, the imperial court will appoint more descendants of the family. The one person who has been fighting for the status of merchants and craftsmen.

Impoverished scholars, there are no vacancies in the Tang Dynasty now. Shuofang asked for some, Liaoxi asked for some, and more were assigned to the Political Department, Academy, School, Martial Arts Academy, Prisoner Management Office, etc. , there is no place that does not miss people.

Li Shimin finally found that in Chang'an City, there used to be a lot of people who sat idle in wine shops every day, chatted loudly and showed off, and all the departments of the imperial court were looking for small officials from him.

There are also fewer people in the daily court meeting in the court, because more and more people are arranged to do practical things outside, but although there are fewer people, there are more and more things missing, not chatting, not wrangling, all from various departments , Memorial of State Road.

"Second brother, it's time for you to take a break." The eldest grandson approached Li Shimin gracefully holding the child in his arms to persuade him.

Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the child in the eldest grandson's arms, hugged it with a gentle smile and said, "It's okay, it will be fine in the past few days!"

"But there is a war there again?" Changsun realized very sensitively, because only before the war, Li Shimin would be very busy.

"It's just a trivial matter. Your good son-in-law won several battles on Wa Island and captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners. No, there are too many prisoners and there is not enough manpower. I need manpower." Li Shimin explained happily.

"Hundreds of thousands? Why didn't the concubine hear about it, and Chang'an City didn't respond at all?" Changsun asked, covering his mouth in disbelief.

"I also find this strange. In the past, I was very happy to repel the Turkic invaders once, and celebrated it. Now Wadao has captured five large cities, several small cities, and captured 6.70 prisoners. But everyone takes it for granted. Even I am the same, I really don't understand." Li Shimin was taken aback, and said that he was surprised.

"The concubine thinks that this is because the Tang Dynasty has become stronger, so everyone thinks this is normal, and the Japanese slave is just a small island, and victory is normal. If it fails, then it is something worthy of everyone's attention. strange things." Changsun Jiao said with a smile.

"Haha, that's true. Datang has grown stronger in the past few years, but it is still afraid to expand with all its strength due to the constraints of population." Li Shimin said with a big laugh.

"Second brother, why worry? You have only been on the throne for two years. The Tang Dynasty is already so powerful. As long as you develop steadily, you will be the only one in the world." The eldest grandson said softly by the side.

The eldest grandson and Li Shimin's young husband and wife have been together for almost 20 years, so they naturally understand that he has always wanted to prove himself, to prove that he is more suitable to be an emperor than Li Jiancheng.

Although Li Jiancheng committed suicide, it was caused by sibling rivalry after all, and there were many rumors outside, even if he didn't hear it with his own ears, he could still imagine it.

"Although the Tang Dynasty is already very powerful, I can't let it go. Seeing the unprecedented good situation, I can't let him flash in the pan." Li Shimin's heart is burning when he thinks that the Tang Dynasty not only has a vast territory, but also has a strong army and the submission of all nations.

"The Tang Dynasty is now politically clear, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and they live and work in peace and contentment. It is unprecedented. It is far from the time when the three emperors and five emperors were in ancient times. The second elder brother has lived through the ages and one emperor, and his courtiers and concubines have enjoyed a lot." The eldest grandson leaned beside Li Shimin, watching Husband, said the child.

"Haha, Maid Guanyin's words are right, I will be an emperor through the ages, haha." Apparently the elder grandson's words disturbed Li Shimin's itch, and he laughed happily.

…………

On December 28, the second year of Zhenguan, Shimane Castle.

Feng Daiwen looked at the coming reinforcements with a headache, and he would rather not have this group of people.

"Haha, haha, what's the matter, brat, you're sad, you're not happy to see me here." Li Yuan went out for a private visit in a micro-service, and he was obviously in better spirits. He didn't look old at all, and sat for a few days Boat, and Spirit laughed at Feng Daiwen.

"Grandfather, why did you come here? The island is not safe now, and the prince, King Wu, and King Wei are also here." Feng Daiwen said with a bitter smile on his face.

"Why aren't you asking for reinforcements? I rushed here as soon as I heard about it in Jiangnan. You see, not only did I come in person, but I also recruited 5000 elite soldiers in Jiangnan. Haha, if you don't let me go to Pyu, I will also come to Wa Island Same, haha." Li Yuan laughed and told his real purpose.

They were all here, and Feng Daiwen had no choice but to take them into the city, and then sent someone to pass on Li Ji and Changsun Shunde, and at the same time sent someone back to Chang'an to report.

"I don't know how the battle is going in Pyu country?" Feng Daiwen asked curiously after Li Yuan was invited to stay.

"Don't mention it to me, it's out of anger. The Pyu Kingdom didn't fight over, and many tribes in Nanzhao were wiped out. Just because of the discovery of a few silver mines, they have been lingering in Nanzhao. I sent a decree to ask, but the return was not good. We are building roads." Li Yuan said indignantly.

Feng Daiwen understood it as soon as he heard it. After all, the aristocratic family went to war, and the imperial court only collected [-]% of the spoils, so it was natural to maximize the benefits.

"There are indeed quite a lot of silver mines in Nanzhao, and this move can also increase a lot. Why should Grandpa Huang care about it? When the war on Wa Island is over, he will take the jadeite for Grandpa Huang." Feng Daiwen comforted Li Yuan with a smile.

In fact, Li Yuan didn't really want jadeite, he just wanted to have some fun for himself. Now that he arrived at Wa Island, he naturally didn't think about the affairs of Piao country for the time being.

"Tell me, what's interesting about Wajima, or something interesting." Li Yuangang asked.Lying comfortably on the chair, he said, "The winter here should be good, much warmer than Chang'an."
