Li Daoli came very quickly, looking a little impatient and eager to try.
"Your Majesty, Li Daoli, is here to see you."
Li Daoli walked to the hall, bowed respectfully, and then looked at Li Yuanji with bright eyes.
Li Yuanji felt a little unnatural by his gaze, and he wanted to make a joke, but then Li Daoli said again: "You have urgently summoned me, but there is something important you want me to do?"
Li Yuanji immediately understood why Li Daoli was uncharacteristically impatient and eager to try.
Like Kwon Wook, Lee Daoli is the kind of person who really wants to prove himself.
In the Tutu War, although he made considerable contributions, he also received certain rewards.
But since then, he has been on the bench again and has no chance to prove himself again.
Now that the opportunity has come to him, he must be eager to try it.
"Sit down first and then talk."
Li Yuanji motioned to Li Daoli to find a place to sit by himself.
Li Daoli was not polite and found a place to sit down in Xiashou.
After he sat down, Li Yuanji smiled and said, "I'm calling you here this time. There is indeed something I need you to do."
Li Daoli stood up immediately and said impatiently: "Please give me your orders, Your Highness!"
He didn't ask anything, and he didn't know if he could do it, so he readily agreed.
It can be seen that he really wants to prove himself, prove that he is not a worm of the Li family, and prove that he is not just hiding in the shadow of the Li family to enjoy happiness.
Li Yuanji appreciated this very much. He waved his hand and motioned for Li Daoli to sit down and said, "Don't be excited. Sit down and talk. Since I've come to you, I won't look for anyone else, so you don't have to worry about missing the opportunity."
When Li Daoli heard this, he relaxed and realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly bowed and said, "I have lost my composure. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji smiled and waved his hands.
Li Daoli sat down.
Li Yuanji said straight to the point: "I'm calling you here this time because I hope you can represent our country in Silla and open up a new way of making money for our country."
Li Daoli stared in confusion.
Li Yuanji roughly told Li Daoli about the report of Princess Kinderman of Silla to the Tang Dynasty to garrison troops in Silla, and analyzed the pros and cons. At the same time, he also discussed the possibility that the Tang Dynasty would use Silla as a bridgehead to conquer the peninsula in the future.
I told Li Daoli about the matter.
After hearing this, Li Daoli had a look of astonishment on his face. After being stunned for a long time, he said with great uncertainty: "You mean, the people of Silla learned about the terms of the negotiation between Datang and Sunisu, and then proposed to let me
Datang’s proposal to garrison troops in Silla.
The Tang Dynasty intends to build a city and dock in Silla to develop a financial source mainly based on shipping. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will need to use this city and dock to attack Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.
?”
Li Yuanji nodded slowly, "That's roughly what it means..."
Li Daoli said thoughtfully: "After I went to Silla, I just refused some rude requests from King Jin Baijing of Silla, and urged my good friend Jin Baijing to help me build the city of Datang, and by the way, maintain the dock belonging to my Datang.
?”
Li Yuanji nodded again: "Not bad..."
Li Daoli fell silent for a moment.
Not that he can't do these things.
In his opinion, these things are a bit too simple and he can solve them easily.
After all, these things are not big things. The King of Silla wants to be with the Tang Dynasty, and his status is the same as that of the King of Silla. Whether he refuses the request of the King of Silla or urges the King of Silla to build integrity for the Tang Dynasty,
Even the king of Silla dared not refuse.
As for the rest of the matter, he doesn't need to take action at all, the left officials under him can solve it.
So after he went to Silla, he would be stuck doing nothing for a long time.
This is not what he wants.
However, the Tang Dynasty stationed troops in Silla, built cities, built docks, and dredged trade routes in Silla, firstly to make money, and secondly to prepare for the future conquest of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.
Both of these events were major events, and each was crucial to Datang.
Once it is completed, when rewards are given based on merit, the most generous reward will definitely be shared.
This made him unable to refuse.
More importantly, he saw the deep intention of Li Yuanji sending him to Silla. Li Yuanji wanted him to help keep an eye on Datang's new ways of making money.
Li Yuanji regarded him as one of his own, so he asked him to help keep an eye on him.
If he were an outsider, Li Yuanji would not send him there at all.
For this reason alone, he couldn't refuse.
"Thanks to His Highness's respect, I am willing to give it a try."
Li Daoli solemnly clasped his fists.
Since I can't refuse, I can only agree.
However, after he agreed, he added, "However, I don't want to stay in Silla all my life. I still hope to go into battle to kill the enemy, build some more meritorious deeds for our Tang Dynasty, and open up some more territories for my Li family."
Once the human heart becomes wild, it is difficult to contain it.
It is difficult for a wolf that has eaten meat to go back to eating steamed buns.
When Li Daoli was on the bench before, he had no opportunities and no achievements, so he would not have much resistance if he continued to sit on the bench.
But after experiencing a sudden battle and showing his prominence, if he is allowed to continue to sit on the bench, he will not be able to sit still.
So Li Yuanji could understand his thoughts, and Li Yuanji never thought of letting him stay in Silla, so when facing him, Li Yuanji smiled and nodded: "I am very pleased that you are so ambitious. Don't worry, I
I won't let you stay in Silla forever. In addition to sending you to Silla this time, I also sent a person whom Ren Gui is very optimistic about to go with you.
When you go to Silla this time, in addition to completing the tasks that must be completed, the remaining task is to train this person.
If you can train this person and let him take over your position in Silla, then you can come back."
The reason why Liu Rengui's name was not mentioned and Liu Rengui was given a label that Ren Gui was very optimistic about was because Liu Rengui's current status was so low that he could not get into Li Daoli's eyes.

If he didn't use Ren Gui as a stepping stone, Li Daoli probably wouldn't even take him seriously, let alone train him.
After hearing this, Li Daoli said with a puzzled face: "The person Ren Gui likes?"
Is there anything special about the person Ren Gei likes?
If he is someone whom Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, and even Li Gang and others value, he is still worthy of their respect.
But Ren Gui...
A person who has been around for decades and has never been among the first-tier dignitaries, what can he do to the person he likes?!
Li Yuanji heard the contempt in Li Daoli's words and couldn't help but said: "Don't despise Ren Gui just because his current status is not prominent enough. The reason why his status is not prominent enough is not that he is not capable enough, but that he was born in the wrong way."
when.
When he was in his prime, the former Sui Dynasty was already declining, and he could hardly accomplish anything despite his empty literary and military skills.
When I founded the Tang Dynasty and started to employ people, he was old and frail, unable to hold more important positions and obtain greater achievements, so he was not so famous and did not have a very popular minister.
But even so, he still trained three generals for our Datang, and these three generals have already distinguished themselves."
Li Daoli was stunned and interjected: "One of them is Zhang Gongjin?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "It can be seen that he is not only very capable, but also has the ability to recognize and employ people. Even if the people he values can't become generals in the future, they are still rare generals. You must not underestimate them."
Li Daoli nodded thoughtfully, cupped his hands and said, "I have learned a lesson."
This shows that he listened to what he said.
Li Yuanji nodded again and said: "That's good, then I'll feel relieved."
At this point, Li Yuanji put down His Highness Yong Wang's airs and said with a smile like an elder brother: "To be honest, I'm really afraid that you will despise him and ruin a talent."
Li Daoli was stunned for a moment.
Li Yuanji continued with a smile: "You also know that it is not easy for me, the Li family, to seize this country, and it will not be easy to hold on to it in the future. Not only do we have to contribute our own efforts, but we also have to constantly discover and recruit talents for our use.
.
Only in this way can our country, the Li family, be secure.
So neither I nor you can underestimate any talent.
Even if this talent is in a humble position now, we cannot neglect him or despise him.
We have to treat him kindly, give him opportunities, and let him grow.
Only in this way can I, the Li family, have a lot of talents to use."
When Li Daoli heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Chen understands."
Li Yuanji said with emotion: "I won't be afraid of your jokes if I tell you some things. Originally, Uncle Wang of Huai'an and Brother Wang of Hejian, I and I were planning to deal with the Zheng family in Xingyang. For this, we made countless preparations and paid a lot of price.
He was about to bite off a piece of meat from Zheng's body in Xingyang.
But people from wealthy families have united to put pressure on us to impeach Brother Hejian Prince, so we have to give up."
Li Daoli stared in shock and said in disbelief: "I vaguely heard Uncle Wang Huai'an mention this matter, and I was asked to take action once by Uncle Wang Huai'an. I thought it was Uncle Wang Huai'an and cousin Wang Hejian who were unhappy with Mrs. Zheng.
I wanted to beat up Mrs. Zheng, but I didn’t expect you to be involved.”
Li Yuanji sighed: "It doesn't matter whether I participated in it or not. What's important is that after this incident, I discovered that nearly 90% of the civil and military people in the Tang Dynasty had affairs with people from wealthy families.
Once my Li family members want to touch them, they will unite to put pressure on my Li family.
You should understand what this means."
Li Daoli nodded solemnly.
This means that this country seems to belong to their Li family, but in fact, whatever the Li family does depends on the face of the wealthy family.
This is not a good thing for Mr. Li.
This is not a good thing for Datang either.
If the Li family cannot suppress the wealthy family and let the wealthy family become powerful, then the Li family will most likely follow in the footsteps of the Sima family in the past.
