Chapter 1473 Li Er's determination
Chapter 1,473 Li Er’s Determination
Everyone was excited to hear this, especially when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che defeated the Xiongnu and penetrated the Western Regions, making China's country more stable.
Li Er clenched his fists and said: "Although I stand on the shoulders of ancestors such as the First Emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I can have the Tang Dynasty today.
Dear dear friends, please rest assured that my achievements will definitely not be worse than those of my ancestors. Now we have made pilgrimages from all over the world, and I am already the Khan of Heaven.
The next goal is to ensure that everyone in the world has food to eat and there is not a single beggar on the street. I want to make the world free of beggars.
I want the people of the world to recognize me and the imperial court. When the imperial court is in trouble, the common people will come forward voluntarily and there is no need for a special summons from the imperial court.
I want to do what Master Li Feng did so that the people of the Tang Dynasty will recognize the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"My father-in-law is wise."
"Father is wise."
Li Feng, Li Tai and other people all opened their mouths and saluted.
Li Er said in a deep voice: "Li Feng, your greatest strength is business and the knowledge of your sect. I want you to use your sect's knowledge to make the people rich and help me realize that there will be no beggars in the world."
Li Feng responded: "Don't worry, father-in-law, this is also my wish, the wish of my master. I will definitely dedicate myself to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty until my death."
"Okay." Li Er nodded and said, "My dear friends, let the people recognize the Tang Dynasty, and let the people recognize the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation. I need you all to work together and work hard with me."
"I am willing to serve your majesty and serve the Tang Dynasty until my death." Fang Xuanling and other officials saluted one after another.
The king of Persia stood up at this time and said: "It is possible that Tian Khan has graduated, but I hope that I will work hard for the development of the Tang Dynasty.
If His Majesty the Khan of Heaven wants anything, the Persian Congress will help the Tang Dynasty."
Li Er smiled and said: "Thank you very much for the King of Persia's kindness. As long as the court needs it, I will ask it to the King of Persia without any courtesy."
"Okay, the whole country of Persia will definitely agree."
Li Feng said at this time: "Father-in-law, there happens to be something that the King of Persia can help with."
"What happened?" Li Er asked puzzledly.
"What are your orders from Consort Li?" the Persian king asked respectfully, keeping his posture very low.
This made other kings look at the Persian King with disdain. Even some kings who planned to surrender to the Tang Dynasty also despised the Persian King.
Even they would not lower their profile so low.
Li Feng smiled and said: "I don't dare to accept the order. I just hope that the King of Persia can cooperate with us."
"Cooperate, we must cooperate, we will cooperate with all our strength," the Persian king said.
"Thank you." After Li Feng finished speaking, he faced Li Er and continued, "Father-in-law, now you have been recommended by everyone and become the Khan of Heaven.
So we had to take the management of the Western Regions into consideration, and established a Western Region Captain's Palace based on the Persian state.
The Western Regions Governor's Mansion is specifically responsible for affairs in the Western Regions, including wars. If countries in the Western Regions want to launch a war, they need the consent of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, otherwise we can regard them as provoking the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty can send troops to provoke the country."
King Gaochang and other kings in the Western Regions suddenly felt happy and sad.
Those small countries hope that the Tang Dynasty can intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions so that their countries can be safe.
Those big countries, like King Gaochang, did not want the Tang Dynasty to interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions, because once the Tang Dynasty intervened, they would not be able to run rampant in the Western Regions.
Li Er looked at Li Feng with some doubts and said: "Is it possible to establish a captain's mansion in the Western Regions? Do the countries in the Western Regions agree?"
"Agree. Tian Khan, Xiao Wang agrees." King Loulan, who no longer has any country, said.
Loulan, who had been ignored, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, which made Songtsan Gampo, King Gaochang and others change their expressions. It turned out that it was all a conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Er and others saw King Loulan, they understood that this was Li Feng's conspiracy again, but no one understood what Li Feng meant.
But now that King Loulan has jumped out, the drama must go on.
Li Er said: "This matter is not a trivial matter. It is not only related to the countries in the Western Regions, but also to the Tang Dynasty. I will consider the suggestions of King Loulan and Li Feng. I will wait for the specific steps to be taken after I discuss them with the ministers and the kings of the Western Regions.
Decide."
"The Khan of Heaven is wise." The kings of the Western Regions immediately said.
Many people were really afraid that Li Er would agree immediately. In this way, it would be impossible for them to change. But they asked more questions and continued: "My father-in-law is right. This matter is serious and needs to be done."
Just discuss it carefully with the ministers."
Li ordered one
He lowered his head and said, "Let's get down to business. The model we just saw is a model train, just like a caterpillar."
Li Feng said with a smile: "My father-in-law's metaphor is really apt. If you think about it carefully, it is really similar to a caterpillar. Maybe the person who built this steam train built it after seeing a caterpillar."
There are a total of eighteen carriages, and each carriage can seat one or two hundred people. Including those who are standing or sleeping, about five thousand people can be seated in one trip."
"Five thousand people. Didn't you say you could do two or three thousand people? How come there are so many more people all of a sudden?" Li Jing asked from the side.
He didn't want Li Feng to talk nonsense, say this now and then say that, and others would say that he had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Li Feng said: "Yes, there are only two to three thousand people who can sit, and the rest are standing. If they are all standing, there will be more than half of them."
"That's it." Everyone suddenly realized.
There is a big difference between two or three thousand and five thousand.
When Songtsen Gampo and others heard that the steam train could pull 5,000 people at a time, they immediately became uneasy.
They could still deal with two thousand Tang troops holding muskets, but it would be very difficult for five thousand soldiers holding muskets.
"I know. After seeing the model, I am now looking forward to the steam train."
Li Feng thought for a while and said: "Father-in-law, let's do this. Allocate manpower to build the railway tracks in Chang'an and Luoyang first. After the steam train is built, we can travel together."
"Okay, this matter will be arranged by you and Duan Lun. I just want to get on the steam train as soon as possible." Li Er said.
"Yes, father-in-law."
"I obey your order," Duan Lun said.
"Okay, it's getting late now. Li Feng, please take me back to the palace." Li Er said.
"good."
Immediately, Li Feng arranged for the butler Fu Bo to greet the guests. Those who wanted to drink tea could drink two cups, and those who did not want to drink tea would see them off.
In fact, after Li Er and Li Feng left, no one was interested in staying in Lantian Hou Mansion anymore, and everyone left.
After Songtsen Gampo and others left the Lantian Marquis Mansion, they once again summoned the anti-Tang alliance.
They needed to think of countermeasures to deal with the Tang Dynasty's construction of the Western Region Captain's Mansion in the Western Regions.
