If you want to confuse a smart person, you can only drag him into a context that is completely unfamiliar to him.
There is infinite knowledge in this world, and even the most intelligent people cannot achieve such a state of knowledge.
Politics is a field that Li Zhi is familiar with. If he gets entangled with Li Zhi too much in politics, even if he can be fooled for a while, as long as he is given some time to think, he will still accurately find the anchor point of the game arranged by Yun Chu.
location.
Therefore, Yunchu decided to focus the problem on the economy, which he was good at. In this way, he seized the initiative. As long as it was in the economic field, Yunchu didn't think anyone in Datang could be his opponent.
Heze peonies and Luoyang peonies were very famous in the world before Yunchu, and the Li and Tang court paid almost unprecedented attention to peonies. In the prosperous times, peonies with large blooms and bright colors naturally became the first choice.
Chang'an City consumes 100,000 pots of peonies every year. Among them, the royal family purchases tens of thousands of peonies every year to reward the emperor's relatives and noble ministers. The royal family likes the graceful and luxurious peonies, and the people naturally follow them. In the past two years,
The trend of enjoying peonies in April has begun to spread to various state capitals in the Tang Dynasty. As long as Caozhou people grow peonies, they should have no worries about selling them.
Moreover, Yunchu believed that the escaped slaves who settled in Leize County would not stay in Leize County for a short time. After all, their identities as escaped slaves were known. If they were smart, Leize County should be just a piece of cake.
A stepping stone, he will soon take his official household registration to live elsewhere in the Tang Dynasty.
In less than two years, the incident of escaped slaves in Leize County will turn into an unsolved case.
Leize County took in escaped slaves and gave them a clear identity. Although it was only for a moment, the fact that Leize County took in escaped slaves would eventually spread among the slaves.
In the end, Leize County is likely to become a holy place for escaped slaves... Although this holy place is just a hope, people who have hope will not despair, right?
"Yunchu wanted to plant peonies in Leize County, but he couldn't have imagined it."
Li Zhi, who returned to the back hall, was still angry and roared at Wu Mei.
Wu Mei flipped up her long hair and said gently: "Is it feasible?"
Li Zhi snorted and said: "Eighty percent of it is feasible."
Wu Mei said strangely: "Since we are 80% sure that it is possible, why is Your Majesty still so angry?"
Li Zhi said: "I don't know, I'm just angry."
Wu Mei frowned and said, "I don't know if that's okay. Your Majesty is very talented..."
Li Zhi didn't wait for Wu Mei to finish what he said, and said angrily: "With the economy, no one can be the right one at Yunchu."
Wu Mei thought that the emperor was just jealous of Yunchu's intelligence, so she consoled him: "No matter how smart he is, he is just a minister of His Majesty. The permission to plant peonies in Leize County is considered a favor given by Your Majesty to the local people."
grace……"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Now that I think about Princess Anding's words, it makes sense. Since growing food can't feed the stomach, why not grow peonies and sell them for money, and then use the money from selling peonies to buy food?
Yunchu once said when chatting with me before, a country will not be stable without farmers, and it will not be rich without businessmen!
Let’s look at Leize County in a few years and see if it will become rich because of peony planting, and we will know whether what he said is right or not.
By the way, have the troops over at Pei Xingjian reported in?"
Wu Mei shook her head and said: "No, I am very worried. What Pei Xingjian did in Shandong and Hebei will be able to force out all the rebellious officials and traitors in these two places."
Li Zhidao: "I have ordered the Governor of Youzhou, Hao Chujun, to lead the troops and horses of Youzhou's frontier troops to withdraw from camp and return to the west. Pei Xingjian is in the west and Hao Chujun is in the east. As long as the thieves here look like swarms, Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian will join the army."
As long as the border troops of Hao Chujun, the governor of Shangyouzhou, form an encirclement, the worries that have plagued the Tang Dynasty for many years will be gone."
Wu Mei said: "Is it feasible? Why not send Yunchu's troops out as well?"
Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei and said, "In ten days, we will go to Hexi from the floating bridge in Dongming County."
Wu Mei said anxiously: "Your Majesty's absence in Jiyang will affect the morale of the army?"
Li Zhi said impatiently: "If I stay in Hedong and Pei goes to inspect, Xue Rengui and the others will be too timid to fight bravely."
Seeing that the emperor was angry again, Wu Mei quickly advised him: "Yes, yes, we will go to Hexi in ten days. In this way, your giant bear can eat fresh bamboo and bamboo shoots from Luoyang as soon as possible."
Li Zhi smiled when he heard this and said to Wu Mei: "Why do you even drink the dry vinegar of a bear?"
Wu Mei sighed and said: "Nowadays, everyone says that I, the queen, am not as favored as a bear."
When it comes to the overall situation, Li Ji is still better. Just when everyone is focusing on Shandong and the wealthy gentry of Hebei, Li Ji points his thick finger at the location of Yingzhou and says: "This is the only place.
It’s big trouble.”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Four years ago, Xue Rengui led his army to defeat Yingzhou once. Now, the Liaodong ministries living in Yingzhou should not have the courage to move."
Li Ji shook his head and said: "Ten years is another generation. It took ten years for the children of the past to grow up to be warriors. Now that I think about it, I was still too eager to win in Liaodong.
When we are stationed in Yingzhou, I should send you young people to completely sweep all the ministries in Liaodong."
Yun Chu thought about the difficult scene when he was fighting against the Blackwater tribe, and couldn't help but shuddered and said, "I remember that I had cleaned them up very well."
Li Ji shook his head and said: "I didn't go to the top of the White Mountain, and I didn't go to the Black Water. The place where you let your horses fight in the bloody battle was strictly controlled by me within 800 miles of Yingzhou. So, what is it like to be 800 miles away?
, or something like that.
Not only that, they also took the opportunity to recruit many tribesmen who escaped and became stronger. These old men heard that the Khitan people in Liaodong have risen again. In less than twenty years, they will definitely become the Tang Dynasty.
A serious problem in his heart."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No way. Even if those savages are out of the forest, we can just blow them up with gunpowder. They won't cause any harm."
Li Ji looked at Yun Chu and said, "What if those barbarians are led by Tang people? You have gunpowder, and others also have gunpowder. How will you deal with it then?"
Yun Chu chuckled and said: "When they learn how to use gunpowder, the Chang'an Martial Arts Research Institute should have new powerful firearms. Then they will be captured to perform dances for the British. I heard that the barbarians are very good at dancing, so
We Tang people are not good at singing and dancing."
Li Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yun Chu's bragging: "It's true that barbarians are good at singing and dancing. This thing was originally performed at the sacrificial hall. The sacrificial music of the Tang Dynasty pays attention to a neutral and peaceful sound, while the dance is
Pay attention to a dignified atmosphere,
You also know that once something becomes dignified and majestic, what else is there to see? Everyone wraps their bodies tightly, and every move must conform to the rhythm. This kind of singing and dancing is not comparable to the singing and dancing of the barbarians.
It's lively and good-looking, at least the legs are exposed when they dance the twirl.
The last time I saw Hu Xuan at that house, his buttocks were exposed, his belly was shaking, his buttocks were swaying, and his two big white legs could not rest for a moment..."
Yun Chu listened with a smile, and pushed the hot tea on the table in front of Ying Gong and said with a smile: "Tell me, whose house is it? When we return to Chang'an, we will go and see..."
However, the Yinggong suddenly sank his face, drank the hot tea that Yun Chu pushed over in one gulp, picked up the colorful horizontal knife on the table and walked out. When he was approaching the door of the military tent, he looked back at Yun Chu and said
: "Although I am old, I am not yet at the point of being pitied."
Yun Chu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's time for you to bring out the hidden people and let us see them. Blindly protecting and blindly doting will not achieve great things."
Li Ji looked at Yun Chu and said: "It seems that I was pulled away from the opposite side of the pontoon by the emperor this time. Is this the reason?"
Yun Chu picked up his pen and wrote the four characters "upright and bright" on the white paper laid out on the table. After drying the ink, he showed it to Li Jida and said: "The world has changed a long time ago. Just in the city of Chang'an, there are many people."
Fifteen hundred spies from Baiqisi.
Everyone who should know knows it, and people who shouldn't know it also know it. They were all photographed because of Ying Gong's reputation, but they just didn't say it. You should take them out earlier, so that everyone can see clearly who the good talents in your Ying Gong Mansion are.
What does it look like?
You always keep it secret, so everyone thinks that the day you take it out will be a shocking day."
After being exposed by Yun Chu, Li Ji, who was standing as straight as a javelin, had an obvious stoop in his back. He returned to the table with the words written by Yun Chu, poured a cup of tea, sipped it for a while and said:
"Do you know everything?"
"If Duke Ying had asked Your Majesty to apply for a job for the descendants of the Li family when he arrived in Luoyang, Xue Rengui would have taken the position of marshal of the Chinese army. I wouldn't even have to leave Chang'an, and the prince wouldn't have any opportunity to show his talent. This opportunity would have been
It should belong to the British Duke."
Li Ji silently drank a cup of tea, raised his head and said to Yun Chu: "When you were in Ganzhou, you had the opportunity to kill Li Jingye, why did you let him escape?"
Yun Chu said sincerely: "If I say that I really had murderous intentions at that time and actually took action, but Li Jingye still escaped death, would Ying Gong believe me?"
Li Ji stood up and waved his hands and said: "Let's watch again, let's watch again. I can't afford to gamble, and none of you people are true. That child hasn't finished his studies yet. Now that he comes out, he will just be beaten by you."
They are just the oxen and horses used by the envoys."
Yun Chu said seriously: "Didn't my father-in-law start from Shi Chang when he took refuge in Wagang Village? Didn't this junior also serve as a small supporter in the dilapidated city of Qiuci?
Young people think that this is inevitable before driving others.
In ten days, Your Majesty will retreat to Hexi. If the British Duke is still unable to report this matter to Your Majesty, I am afraid that Your Majesty will send a large army to monitor the British Duke."
Li Ji was startled, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Your Majesty, it's me who is the one who retreated?"
Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "Looking at the heroes in the world, except for the heroic father-in-law, who else can be regarded by your majesty?"
