Inside the Dali Temple, everyone was in a state of panic.
Li Shimin was also so disturbed by these things that he no longer even bothered to read the memorial.
Just when he was frowning.
Li Chengqian suddenly jumped in and walked in.
He walked straight to Li Shimin and said with a naive smile: "Father..."
"roll roll roll."
"Don't you see that I'm upset?"
Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently and directly ordered the guests to be kicked out.
"Look, you're going to kick me out before I even say anything."
Li Chengqian pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Then I will give this opportunity to make money to others. Don't tell me, Father, I will not think of you when something good happens."
"Um?"
Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian: "What other evil idea have you come up with?"
"Of course it's a good idea to make a lot of money."
Li Chengqian said bluntly: "If this can be done, my father will not have to do anything. Just sit in the palace, and a lot of money will pour into the palace and into my father's small treasury."
Um?
Is there such a good thing?
Li Shimin was a little disbelieving. He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Why do I think your kid has some conspiracy?"
"Come on, father, don't push me down. I'm going to find Uncle Cheng."
After saying that, Li Chengqian left immediately.
"stop!"
Li Shimin stood up and called him.
"what?"
"Don't you believe me?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes with some dissatisfaction.
"I just want to hear what idea you came up with."
Li Shimin cleared his throat in embarrassment and said, "If it's a good thing, I will naturally agree."
"But if you do something bad, I will definitely punish you!"
This is really very Li Shimin...
Li Chengqian was helpless about his father's virtue.
< br> He directly explained his blueprint for the bank to Li Shimin.
When he was done, he did not forget to say: "If all the wealth in the world is in the hands of my father, do you think who in the world can rebel?"
"In other words, without money as support and reliance, who would have the ability to rebel?"
What Li Chengqian cares about is different from Changsun Wuji and Lu Qing.
What he wants to change is this era, not to benefit anyone.
He knows very well what it means to a country once its wealth is controlled by the state.
That's why he was planning this matter.
From controlling food to controlling knowledge, Li Shimin became increasingly aware of the benefits of controlling social resources.
At this moment, hearing that Li Chengqian had another way to control new resources, Li Shimin was definitely lying if he said he wasn't interested.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since your ideas are so mature, then you can go ahead and do it boldly."
"If there is anything you need my help with, you just need to tell me."
"There's nothing I need your help with."
"You just need to sit in the palace and wait for the money to come to you in a steady stream."
Li Chengqian was very happy to hear that he agreed.
After all, the more new things Li Shimin accepts, the greater his chances of changing this era.
Ever since he began to master the use of wind energy.
He can see that the future of this era has begun to change.
Based on the current progress, he is absolutely confident that he will develop a steam engine within three years.
He had even begun to imagine how the steam engine would promote industrial development if one day it came out.
…
Times are changing quietly and unconsciously
With.
And Li Chengqian also worked hard in his own way in order to see the day when Greater China becomes powerful as soon as possible.
But, he seemed to have forgotten.
It's too early to think about that now.
In Chang'an City alone, he still had many unresolved issues.
For example, Li Yuanchang and Boling Cui, for example, Li Tai who hid in the dark and kept silent.
For example, those Shilin families who appear to be submissive but full of resentment.
Of course, there is another person who even dreams of killing him with his own hands.
That is Zhao Youlin...
Speaking of Zhao Youlin, we have to mention what happened to this man after he withdrew from the battlefield.
He took more than 20,000 soldiers of the Third Division and fled northward into the territory of Xueyantuo, preparing to defect to Xueyantuo.
But before he could get close to Xue Yantuo's territory, Yinan Khan sent troops to stop him.
Yinan Khan only said one thing to Zhao Youlin: "If you take another step forward, General Xue Yantuo will attack you immediately."
As Li Chengqian said, no one would offend the Tang Dynasty for the sake of these 20,000 people.
Even if he, Yi Nan, was prospering now, he still wouldn't dare to provoke Datang because of his small number of people.
Therefore, Zhao Youlin could only take his remaining defeated generals and continue to march westward, all the way into the territory of the Western Turks.
It is also Zhao Youlin's good luck that the Western Turks are now in chaos.
After his arrival, not only was he not rejected by the major forces, but he was also scrambled to win over him.
In this way, it directly made him get along like a fish in water here.
But this time, Zhao Youlin did not choose to defect to anyone.
His primary goal is to establish his own business.
His experience in Northeastern Sanquan made him understand that many times he cannot hang a sword over his head, as that would make him hamstrung.
Because he didn't know when the sword would fall and stab him to death.
And he wants to find Li To take revenge for Qian, there can be no such restraint.
Therefore, he does not allow anyone to restrain him.
On the day of arrival in Western Turkic territory.
Zhao Youlin led 23,000 remnant troops and wiped out two small and medium-sized tribes, and then recruited troops and horses to occupy the land and became king.
Moreover, his philosophy of governance is exactly the same as that of the Central Plains. He does not become a khan, only a king, and does not accept dependence, only annexation.
Although this caused dissatisfaction among many tribes, the more than 20,000 remnants of the Third Division under his command were no joke.
In just a few days, he wiped out more than ten tribes and looted countless treasures and people.
And all of this happened before Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an.
When Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an.
Zhao Youlin had already occupied the entire Jinshan area, and was still expanding westward at a very rapid rate.
Even three days ago, he led troops to fight Yanqi and occupied a large area of Yanqi's territory.
Nowadays, his population has exceeded two million, and his power is larger than the three Northeastern regions combined.
But is this the end for Zhao Youlin?
It’s not that…
He has great ambitions, and he wants to kill Li Chengqian.
He also wanted to make Datang pay the price for looking down on him.
Of course, there is also Xue Yantuo...
Zhao Youlin is a very grudge-bearing person.
He will never forget the arrogant face Yi Nan displayed in front of him in his entire life.
Within the king's tent.
Zhao Youlin looked at the map with gloomy eyes and a sneer on his lips.
"Just wait, just wait."
"Sooner or later, I, Zhao Youlin, will return with all my glory."
"I will never let go of anyone who has bullied me or insulted me."
"Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Tingxue, Yi Nan, all of you must die..."
