Li Shan from Dai County is busy making various preparations, long-term plans, short-term plans, long-term interest connections, and immediate benefits that can be seen very quickly.
It cannot be said that Dai County has no resources, but there are very few resources that Li Shan can use now. For this reason, he has to dig out his family fortune... In the past year or so, with various businesses, Li Shan has already
I have some wealth.
Brewing spirits, other things are easy to say, but food needs to be stocked up in advance... Coincidentally, this year because Gao Manchu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Junzhang was defeated twice. Hedong Road was not invaded by Turks, the autumn harvest went smoothly, and grain prices in Hedong were not stable.
It’s not too high, at least it’s much lower than Guannei Road.
Li Shan sent his men south to buy grain in Taiyuan Prefecture, Fenzhou, and Yizhou. For this purpose, he wrote a special letter to his old friend Xue Zhong. The Xue family in Hedong was one of the three prominent families in Hedong, mainly concentrated in Fenzhou and Shanxi.
The two places in the state helped Li Shan a lot.
At this moment, Li Shimin in the Chengqian Palace was looking at the letter in his hand with great interest, and glanced at Changsun Wuji opposite, "How do the auxiliary machines view this?"
Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are more trusted by Li Shimin, in terms of trust, the brother-in-law ranks first... This can't be helped. The Qinghe Fang family and the Jingzhao Du family are both aristocratic families, and the Luoyang Changsun family has been
There were also many people who became officials, but they also declined significantly. The only hope was to rely on the King of Qin.
Changsun Wuji held it in for a long time before saying: "As His Highness said, you can do it anywhere!"
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, "That's exactly it."
Li Shan described a lot in his letter... Although he didn't write it in depth, he obviously didn't have the idea of running south when he found something was wrong, as Li Shimin told him before leaving.
"Although he was in a dangerous situation, he still moved forward bravely. He is worthy of being a young hero!" Li Shimin lowered his head and glanced at the letter a few more times, "That's fine, let him do the hard work."
Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, "If someone reports this matter to the Turks..."
"Although Huairen is young, he has always done things carefully." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "If I am not wrong, I will report it to the court..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Your Highness, the saint summons you."
"Your Highness's divine material."
Li Shimin thought in his heart that from the letter, Li Huairen wanted to show off his talents in Dai County, but his starting point was in business affairs. Although he had ingenious ideas and found new ways, he could also get a glimpse of this person's interests.
I think of the unique Dongshan Restaurant in Chang'an, the abacus promoted by Li Shan, and Li Shan's plan to raise food and grass mentioned in Yu Zhining's letter from Luoyang last year... By the way, the King of Huaiyang also sent a large amount of property, which was very...
It is obvious that Li Shan is a kindhearted person, but he is very fond of Aduwu.
With all the elites under his command gathered, Fang Xuanling was the perfect choice for Shangshu Ling. Du Ruhui was strong and strong, so he should be in charge of Menxia Province. However, Menxia Province is the only one among the three provinces that has two chiefs, so Ling Jing can take over.
Li Shimin calculated that it was hard to say about other positions. We also needed to consider the balance between the DPRK and the Central Government, such as Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Wen Daya, Yang Gongren and other elderly people. However, Li Shan... could be admitted to the household department, and he might be able to serve as Prime Minister in the future.
.
Walking into the Dragon Hall in the side hall of Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was not surprised to see Prince Li Jiancheng and Princess Pingyang. The latter's appearance here was natural. After all, Li Shan, as the acting county magistrate, wrote to the saint. He must pass six chapters and write privately.
It is most suitable to pass Princess Pingyang.
As for the prince... Li Yuan seemed to be watching the rumors indifferently, but in fact he was unhappy in his heart. However, Li Jiancheng was unable, did not dare and was unwilling to jump out and prove his innocence. A subtle change appeared in the father and son.
Of course, Li Shimin knew very well that his father had no thoughts of Yi Chu, so it was natural for him to summon the prince here today.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Li Yuan handed the letter directly to his second son. The other two people had already read it.
Li Shimin took a look at it and found that it was roughly the same as the letter to himself, but the emphasis was different.
"Erlang once made a military campaign to the east of Hedong. What do you think of it?" Li Yuan looked a little solemn. Although there has been a gap between him and his second son in recent years, he also knew that when it came to military strategy, although he was a father, he was not as good as his son.
, so he is usually partial, but in the military, he attaches great importance to Li Shimin's opinions.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and replied crisply: "It's feasible."
"Tell me in detail." Li Yuan raised his eyebrows. Prince Shicai said it might be possible, but Pingyang said it was definitely not feasible, while the second son said it was possible.
Li Shimin's answer this time was even simpler. The previous sentence had two words, but this time it was just one word, "horse."
Li Yuan's expression moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly.
Later generations believed that there was a shortage of horses in the early Han Dynasty, and even the emperor could not find six horses of the same color. It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on an expedition to the Western Regions that cavalry gradually became the dominant force.
The Song Dynasty also had a shortage of horses, so Wang Anshi came up with a method to protect horses and households, which resulted in the death of countless families.
The Ming Dynasty also lacked horses, and Hebei was most troubled by horses. In the end, Liu Liu and Liu Qi all reached the vicinity of Beijing.
But the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty where cavalry dominated the grasslands, so there should be no shortage of horses... But in fact, there was a huge shortage of horses in the early Tang Dynasty. The shortage left everyone from Li Yuan and Li Shimin to the lieutenant generals scratching their heads.
There was a shortage of horses in the pre-Sui period. Later, He Lou Ziqian conducted a military campaign in Longyou, Guanxi, and dispersed the people to focus on animal husbandry. At one time, he had tens of thousands of horses. Unfortunately, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty first moved the capital to Luoyang, and then went south to Jiangdu and Longyou.
He was possessed and invaded by Tuyuhun, who was gradually recovering his strength.
When Li Yuan raised troops in Hedong, he surrendered to the Turks without hesitation. One of the important reasons was that he exchanged silk treasures for 3,000 good horses from the Turks.
Afterwards, Li Yuan invaded Guanzhong, established his country and ascended the throne, and ordered to collect good horses, but he only had 2,000 horses left by the former Sui Dynasty. Although the Tang army often defeated the enemy with cavalry, the army was still dominated by infantry, and Li Shimin had only one man under his command.
A killer cavalry formation.
There is no doubt about Li Shimin's military talent, but there is no doubt that the Xuanjia Army is his trump card... This army is not large in number. It can kill the enemy in fear, mainly because it is a rare army in this era.
Some heavy cavalry.
The war horses are covered with black protective gear from top to bottom, and the cavalry are wearing black armor, charging into the formation, looking at everything... Such heavy cavalry is impossible without elite war horses.
The selection of such elite war horses requires a large number of war horses as a foundation...but the Tang Dynasty did not have such a foundation. In order to form Xuanjia soldiers, Li Shimin searched almost all horse farms.
This situation lasted until after the Luoyang War. Hebei and Shandong also produced horses, but the horse breeds were not good. Li Shimin valued Longyou... which was later Gansu and Qinghai. This was the main product of the Northern Wei, Northern Qi and the former Sui Dynasty.
horse land.
This year, Li Yuan ordered Chai Chao to lead his army to conquer the invading Tuyuhun in the west. He also had some considerations... After Chai Shao returned to Beijing after his victory, Li Yuan sent Taipu Temple to set up more horse farms in Longyou, but they could not be seen for a while.
What effect.
On the other hand, Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun, who had already arrived in Beijing to pay homage, presented a tribute of 500 fine horses.
The father and son agree on one thing: if they want to fight against the Turks, they cannot lack horses.
The main gathering place for horses in the world is on the grassland, under the control of the Turks. Therefore, Li Shan's suggestions just scratched the itch of Li Yuan and Li Shimin... No matter how much they can get, it is a good thing.
One more horse will give you more strength to fight against the Turks in the future.
I grabbed meat last night. Five kilograms of meat cost 100 yuan, including two big bones, which is not too expensive. Today, the community gave out a big gift package, ten kilograms of rice, a barrel of oil, ten small breads, and a portion of dried noodles.
, I guarantee that no one will starve to death. With the current situation in Shanghai, it will definitely exceed 10,000 tomorrow. There is no hope within half a month. Maybe I won’t be able to get out on May Day.
