"General Gao, let's eat together." Liu Chong invited Gao Lishi to eat.
"Secretary Liu, you're too polite. Regarding the Turks … Regarding the Jiangnan West Road …"
Gao Lishi refused to sit down and eat. He told Liu Chong about Li Yi's decision on the two matters.
"We need to rush the production of military coats. This winter, the soldiers will have a hard time."
Yao Chong was already a second-tier official, but he still couldn't help but suggest.
"If the Western Turks surrender, should we use them to attack the Turks, or should we nurture them first?" Liu Chong asked.
"The nine families of Tiele are being nurtured by Xiao Yi. This time, they will be escorting the Baggage together with the Southwest Barbarians. The other troops of Tiele are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so they should also help with the transportation."
Bi Goo had an idea. They would use the same method. The Western Turks would not be in charge of fighting, but in charge of transportation.
The soldiers of the Tang dynasty had guns, but they couldn't equip those who surrendered. If they sent people to fight, the losses would be huge.
It was a good idea to weaken the Western Turks.
Now that they had more people, it didn't matter. They couldn't defeat the Tang dynasty, and they didn't dare to fight.
Manpower could help raise livestock, especially horses.
"Write down the rent reduction first so that the people can rest assured." Zhang Jiuling considered a simple problem.
"Why don't we reduce it all? When the time comes, we can buy food from the people. Xiao Yi is preparing to buy land locally." Bi Goo became more generous.
Reducing the rent was money, and he was very stingy in the Ministry of Revenue.
The others, including Gao Lishi, suddenly understood Bi Goo's intention.
Give the local people more money first, then collect taxes.
Li Yi wanted to send people over to lead the people to live a better life. With more money, there would be no need to collect rent.
"We'll wait for tomorrow." Song Jing agreed. After tomorrow, he would tell His Majesty. Li Yi's words couldn't always be the final call.
"Let's eat! Heat up the soup. "Lu Huaishen asked someone to heat up the soup.
Gao Lishi took his leave and reported the situation.
"Brother Yi, what do you think?" Li Longji didn't care. He wanted to reduce the rent by half...
"It will take at least three years to see results. Send some people over there this year, but they won't be able to plant anything. Let's clean up the land and mountains first and try the breeding industry." Li Yi nodded.
The people's rice didn't suffer any losses, so the rent-free people were happy.
After he finished talking about the Jiangnan West Path, Li Yi brought up the topic of war again, "The Western Turks, wait a moment. The troops at the source of the Yellow River are to retreat. The Western Turks have to send some men to surrender. Otherwise, we won't be able to use them. This is to prevent them from learning from the Su Lu."
Li Yi was not prepared to take the initiative to get in touch with the Western Turks. The Western Turks were crucial.
Longyou Jiedushi and Hexi Jiedushi withdrew their troops and forced the Western Turks to surrender to the Tang dynasty.
When Su Lu led his raiding cavalry, the Tujue, Tubo, and the Tang dynasty gave him benefits, that was why he was so arrogant.
The Western Turks couldn't be spoiled. What if another Ranger Shi appeared?
"Good!" Li Longji agreed, ignoring the Western Turks for now.
At the side, Princess Jincheng was rolling pancakes for her mother, and then rolling pancakes for her father.
She was happy. She realized that she had solved a lot of problems by bringing the Pill of the Ruler and Pearl back to the Tang dynasty.
The Tang dynasty could call back their troops from the border. Tubo could not attack them.
Unless Dalun Qili pushed another person to the throne and then formed an alliance to attack the Tang dynasty.
As long as the Tubo could not unite, which other tribe could win the war alone?
Besides, Xiu's Rhombus Fortress was useless. Behind it was the Yellow River, and on the other side of the Yellow River was the Rhombus Fortress.
The Turks surrounded it on three sides. There was no navy at the Yellow River, so transportation was not a problem.
Attack the Rhombus Fortress? God! They could not climb it.
The Pill of the Ruler and Pearl had mixed feelings. They did not know whether to be happy or sad.
Their Tubo people were not lacking in courage. They could fight to the death, but they had to have a chance of winning.
How to deal with explosives and sky-piercing monkeys? If they formed a formation, they would be bombed. If they did not form a formation, they would be slaughtered by the Tang dynasty. They used the method of roaming without binoculars or hot air balloons.
Everyone finished the meal with different feelings.
The Pill of the Ruler and Pearl had to take care of their bodies. They could not get close to women. They went to take a bath and sleep while being massaged.
Li Yi went back to the study to check the information. He had to make a bunch of plans first. When the Li Family Zhuangzi's men arrived at the Jiangnan West Road, he would immediately come up with a suitable plan after the local feedback.
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan came to accompany him and made tea for him.
Li Yi's hands were typing on the keyboard. All kinds of shortcuts were used and diagrams were listed.
Li Yi was making modules. They were all small modules. When needed, different modules would be installed in a certain framework. This was a set of individual plans.
It mainly focused on the situation of the land, the situation of the mountains, the surrounding population, water resources, transportation …
It included investment, operating costs, return cycle, short-term return rate, and so on.
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan were looking at the screen, but they could not understand anything. The changes were too fast.
The two of them were still willing to watch. It was okay if they did not understand. They felt comfortable just watching.
"That's it for today. We can add more tomorrow. We can't delay our rest." Li Yi worked for nearly three hours and did not drink a sip of water.
"Li Lang is drunk. We are going back." Princess Yongmu realized that time was passing quickly. She yawned and left with Xiao Lan.
Li Yi looked at the tea and did not drink it. He took the thermos and poured half a cup of hot water for himself. He took a bath and drank it when he came back. He rolled on the bed and fell asleep.
The sky was just beginning to brighten. The officials began to go to Hanyuan Palace.
Other than the Censorate, the other officials of the fifth rank and above rushed from all over.
The officials in the south of the city who did not have money to buy a house took buns and porridge and took the public servants' bus. They ate slowly on the way. The pickles were placed on top of the porridge.
Li Longji and the others also set off early. They were also eating buns, but they were all filled with meat. The chives filling was not good. The taste was too strong.
Li Yi sat in the ambulance. They were eating wontons with cabbage and pork fillings.
After crossing the bridge on the west side, they went through Tonghua Gate. When they reached the place between Laiting Square and Yong Chang Square, they continued north. After passing through Dan Feng Gate, they arrived at Hanyuan Palace.
The area of Hanyuan Palace was bigger than the two ordinary squares combined. It was spacious enough.
When they arrived, Bi Goo and the others got out of the car. Li Yi stayed in the car and did not come out. He continued to work.
It was hot outside. Even though it was early in the morning, it was not cool at night in summer.
He said that he was busy with work. It was not good for others to ask him to stop.
Princess Jincheng and Chi took Zhu Dan and left the group. They needed to go through the procedures.
When everyone had arrived, Li Yi took Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan outside. Xiao Lan quickly found her place.
Li Yi also found his place. He was a rank of the first rank. He stood on the left side, closest to the dragon throne. In fact, he was more than ten meters away.
Bi Goo could only stand below him. He was the one with the most power.
The members of the imperial family took their places. Those with higher ranks and less power adjusted their positions.
"Old Bi, do you eat peaches? I washed them with salt. There is no hair at all. They are very clean. "
Li Yi looked around. Everyone was looking at him. Those who were too far away could not see him. They knew that the position in front of them was not right.
Those who saw him saw him. No one went up to question him.
"We just finished eating. Don't be rude in front of the emperor. There are people from foreign countries watching. Don't embarrass the Tang dynasty, "Bi Goo said softly.
"It will be hot later. Don't ask me for it. I removed the pit of the peach and cut it into small pieces. They are stored in ice bags. Old Bi, why are there no chairs? "
Li Yi's mouth was not idle. He looked around and calculated how long he would have to stand.
