"Sixty thousand people, this is sixty thousand people!" Li Tai couldn't help but mutter.
Li Tai originally wanted to go directly to Fang Xuanling's mansion to ask if he could hand over the 60,000 people to him.
But after thinking about it, he chose to hurry to the palace and decided to find Li Shimin, at least say hello first.
After all, the source of his rights comes from Li Shimin. He privately searched for Fang Xuanling, who was completely unrelated to him. Even if Li Shimin didn't mind, he would be afraid that he would be submitted by the censor.
More importantly, it will create an excuse for Li Chengqian, so it is better to find Li Shimin first.
However, this time, Li Shimin did not review memorials in Liangyi Hall, but was rarely able to spend half a day of leisure in his life and was taking a comfortable bath. Then Li Tai went to find Li Shimin inappropriately.
However, Li Shimin still announced that Li Tai came in. After all, it was not once or twice when working while taking a bath.
"Qingque, but if there is something urgent, you actually ran to the kilometer today." Li Shimin asked with his eyes closed.
Because Li Tai has always been quite time-keeping, and he usually doesn't return to the palace until the beginning of every month.
First, we met with Empress Changsun and others, and as for the other one, we were to report Zheng Baiqu’s progress to Li Shimin.
"I heard from the Tang Honglu that some of the people who had redeemed from the Turks had no place to live.
So Qingque dared to hope that Aye could hand over this group of people to me and place them near Zheng Baiqu.”
Li Tai added, "The construction of three Zhengbaiqu canals is launched at the same time, which just takes a lot of labor to increase the construction speed."
When Li Shimin heard this, he understood why Li Tai rushed over in a hurry, probably because he was afraid of putting this person elsewhere.
To be honest, it is very troublesome for Li Shimin to arrange such a group of people.
After all, these people have nothing, and no matter which town they throw in, they may cause riots.
Now Li Tai asked this group of people to speed up the development of Zhengbaiqu area, at least in Li Shimin's opinion, this is somewhat a good thing.
The most important thing is that the Zhengbaiqu area has been renovated, and the charity warehouse can be stored early, and I can also build Luoyang Palace earlier.
So Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "If you go to Xuanling for this matter, I believe he will definitely agree with it."
"Then Qingque will take his leave first!" Li Tai ran away decisively when he heard Li Shimin's words!
"This kid works very well and wants him to bubble with him!" Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh as he saw Li Tai leave.
After leaving this palace, Li Tai directly carried a carriage and horse to the Liangyi Hall, which generally handles government affairs.
But halfway through the way, I found that I couldn't catch up, so I carried a carriage and went straight to Fang Xuanling's house.
After all, Fang Xuanling gets off work and goes home for dinner every day. Normally, going to his house at night will definitely block Fang Xuanling.
Li Tai asked Lu Anshou to drive the carriage to Fang Mansion and knocked on the door. There was no other meaning, just a free meal.
Fang Xuanling naturally asked Li Tai to come in, but he didn't mean to prepare dinner for Li Tai. Instead, he said with a look of surprise.
"King of Yue, the sun is about to set, why do you have time to come to Qiao's mansion?"
"That's right." Li Tai said when he explained the reason for Fang Xuanling's words, and then made his own request and said,
"Secretary of the House, it is better to hand over the people who have not yet settled into my hands, and they must have settled them well in Zheng Baiqu."
"So that's it!" Fang Xuanling heard Li Tai's words and said, "I understand what you mean by King Yue.
But we also need to consider the overall situation. They were originally the people on the frontiers, and they finally came back, so they were naturally arranged to go to the frontier areas.
In this way, these people's living habits will be more adaptable to the North.
Second, let’s take a step back and forth, as there are foreign races stationed in the north, our Tang Dynasty also needs to increase the local population proportion to form a check and balance with foreign races. I think you understand!”
Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea at this moment and told Li Tai calmly about the difficulties.
But Li Tai understood that since Fang Xuanling did not refuse directly, but was quarreling with him, this itself shows that there is something to talk about about this matter.
Under such circumstances, Li Tai thought for a while and said, "Please believe that after my cooperation with Honglu Temple, Honglu Temple will continue to gather foreign races to serve our Tang Dynasty, which will definitely reduce foreign races on the border.
number.”
"I naturally understand the cooperation between King Yue and Honglu Temple, and of course I also support it!"
Fang Xuanling told the truth, since the incident with the agricultural officer, he had investigated Li Tai carefully and naturally knew that the Eastern Turkic laborers who were repairing Zheng Baiqu were unknowingly broken into Li Tai's shape by Li Tai.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling still recognizes Li Tai's ability very much.
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai at this moment, was silent for a while, and slowly spoke, "But what I doubt is you!
King Yue, do you really plan to devote yourself to the Tang Dynasty and become a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty?”
"You are so serious about Fang Xiang!" Li Tai smiled a little calmly when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.
Just kidding, did you want to fight for the throne from the beginning?
Have I ever covered up my attitude? It seems that there is no one!
If you don’t fight for the throne, you will run out to cure locusts at the age of eight, establish a school institution at the age of nine, become a county magistrate at the age of ten, build a century-old plan at the age of ten, promote the agricultural official system at the age of eleven, and lie in your mansion to eat, drink, have fun, eat, etc.
Isn't it good to die?
Any suffering is anti-human. People can overcome this kind of pain because they have greater ambitions in their hearts!
So, although Li Tai did not answer, Fang Xuanling understood Li Tai's answer.
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai at this moment and said slowly:
"King of Yue, maybe you don't remember it. This year, your term in Gaoling will be over.
So I'm more curious, are you interested in being an official?"
"Fang Xiang, aren't we talking about these 60,000 people?" Li Tai said calmly when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling said, "It's the affairs of these 60,000 people.
If they were placed in the border areas, they could strengthen border defense, but if they were transferred to Zheng Baiqu to settle their home, the border forces would be much less.
After all, most people in this world are willing to come to Chang'an and not to go to the border, right? So the court needs to make arrangements."
When Li Tai heard Fang Xuanling's words, he couldn't help but remain silent and said, "People from Fang hope I will be a foreign official?"
"The King of Yue is the legitimate son of the saint. Although he is the magistrate of Gaoling County, you and I know that this position is just for King of Yue to display your talents."
Fang Xuanling said calmly, "Now your talent has been shown, proving that you are a talented official.
If that is the case, why do you have to be greedy for Chang'an? The Tang Dynasty, the country, the country, the state and counties are all places where you can display your talents!
Or, what you are asking for is not just to become a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty?!"
"It seems that Fang Xiang doesn't want me to stay in Chang'an, but I want me to let go!" Li Tai couldn't help but say.
"I'm just a pity that King Yue, you are the talent of teaching foreign races!" Fang Xuanling sighed and said,
"Who can force the saint to decide your stay or stay except yourself!"
"But Fang Xiang, you still want me to let me go, right?" Li Tai said sincerely at Fang Xuanling.
"I just hope that King Yue will come true and become a famous minister of the royal family!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai and said calmly.
Li Tai smiled calmly and said, "If I want to let go, only these 60,000 people are definitely not enough.
Even if I don’t let me win, I think I will wait until I’m twelve years old.
So Fang Xiang, what will you use to trade with me and let me leave Chang'an!"
Li Tai understands that now is not his own era, and his own era must wait until the group of talents in the agricultural institution grows!
I am in Chang'an now and have no right to speak. The most important thing is that my basic base is not strong enough.
All he could rely on was Li Shimin's preference for himself, not a real force that belonged to him.
Secondly, compared to other people, to be honest, it would be much easier to go back to Chang'an.
When you can influence Chang'an, you will naturally come back.
This may be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for yourself.
After all, if I was deliberately suppressed by Fang Xuanling, my development would be affected.
Of course I am not afraid, but there is no need. The more time I develop, the higher my control will be when I take over the country in the future.
Therefore, since Fang Xuanling wants to leave Chang'an by himself, he naturally needs to use this attitude to exchange for what he needs.
Moreover, Li Gang, who supported Li Chengqian all the way, has left. Li Chengqian, who has lost the teachings of a famous teacher, thinks that after a while, he will be revealed.
You don’t want to get into trouble, so you should just get away from the limelight.
So Li Tai is willing to leave Chang'an for what he wants.
In this way, I am good, Fang Xuanling is good, and even Li Chengqian will help me.
The only fear is that Aye and his mother will be reluctant to let go.
"King Yue, what do you need?" Fang Xuanling said calmly when he heard Li Tai's words.
"First, the Agricultural University is my hard work. After I leave, please help me watch." Li Tai said.
"The magistrate of Gaoling County is definitely from the Agricultural University. As for Ma Zhou, when he repairs Zhengbai Canal, he should take the lead in the canal transportation plan of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
After completion, he should return to the court, the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Works, and he should have the status of a minister under the fourth rank."
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai and continued, "It is not impossible for Keming to inherit his mantle."
"I want to settle in the place, either Hangzhou or Youzhou. Of course, even the country of Tianfu in Shu, I don't mind!"
Li Tai looked at Fang Xuanling and said calmly, "I don't know which place Fang Xiang gave me to manage!"
"There are three things that must be done?" Fang Xuanling asked back when he heard Li Tai's words.
"I think there are really not many places I can go!" Li Tai looked at Fang Xuanling and said,
“First of all, Aye will not let me go to a poor place, and I need a place where I can display my talents.
After thinking about it, it was only the four corners of the Tang Dynasty. There were Yizhou in Shu, Youzhou in Guandong, and Hangzhou in Jiangnan. I would like to go anywhere.
Besides, you think I am good at dealing with matters of alien races, so wherever I can go, I will naturally deal with alien races!”
"Why don't you choose a place in Longyou?" Fang Xuanling asked Li Tai curiously when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Because the Eastern Turks retreated, the part that belonged to the eastern side of the Eastern Turks was absorbed and digested by our Tang Dynasty, but the part that belonged to the northern side was absorbed by which tribe on the grassland. In five or ten years, a group of people should appear.
Share with the alien forces in the north.
I am not good at war. If I choose the land in Longyou, I really encounter war, I don’t know what to do!”
Li Tai shrugged and said, "So, although I feel that places like Shengzhou are good, it's better to be cautious!"
Hearing Li Tai's words, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but remain silent at this time.
Fang Xuanling really felt that Li Tai was excellent, especially this strategic vision, even if he ignored it, Li Tai noticed it.
But unfortunately, Li Tai is not the eldest son!
It is precisely because Li Shimin relied on fighting for the throne that as long as Li Chengqian is there, Li Shimin will definitely not let Li Tai inherit his position.
Let Li Tai continue to stay by Li Shimin's side, because Li Shimin's preference will actually inspire Li Tai's desire to fight for the throne.
This made Li Tai's talent and qualifications that could have become a famous minister in the generation was wasted.
Fang Xuanling calmed down and said, "King Yue, where do you mean?"
"Youzhou!" Li Tai said calmly, "After all, Chunfeng built the Agricultural College branch there, and he also arranged a fishing plan, even a grass planting plan, which has been tried to promote in Youzhou.
I went there myself and should be able to continue to implement this plan. After all, I will make this plan more detailed and tighter!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I will promote this matter, but King Yue has any other requirements."
"If it was Youzhou, I would not have any military power except my own guard, but I want the court's salt and iron monopoly rights!" Li Tai looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "I don't have money, so I can't use my talents.
Come on!"
Fang Xuanling frowned when he heard this, "The King of Yue is joking, who is richer than you in Chang'an!"
"I didn't talk nonsense. I wanted to revitalize Youzhou for a week, but it was a completely different concept from Gaoling and a county.
I have to throw all the money and food in my hand into it, and it doesn’t make any sense, so I have to get the right to salt and iron!”
Li Tai doesn't give in at this moment!
"Youzhou is the junction between the Tang Dynasty and the foreign tribes. If iron tools flow into the foreign tribes, it will definitely bring endless disasters.
At most, I will approve that King Yue can be qualified to make salt by yourself, and iron tools will never be opened to you!"
Fang Xuanling answered with a serious expression.
"So stingy!" Li Tai couldn't help but complain when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, but thought about it for a while,
"Wait until I build Zheng Baiqu. If possible, build Aye's Luoyang Palace..."
"Please rest assured that King Yue must have fulfilled King Yue's filial piety to the saint!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai and said,
"I will order people to dispatch these 60,000 people tomorrow, and I will let them come to Gaoling in one month at the latest!"
"Fang Xiang, you are really ready!" Li Tai couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Fang Xuanling.
"Because King Yue, you are truly willing to run for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!" Fang Xuanling respectfully saluted Li Tai.
