Chapter 260: Dispatching Troops
"Mother, Yang Xiao's reputation has soared in both the government and the public. If we don't take any measures, the situation may collapse." Cao Shenjun looked worried.
"It's not that the crown prince is incompetent. On that day, King Long was in great power, and Li'er was also in trouble." Concubine Yi said angrily.
"My Lady, be careful what you say," Cao Shenjun hurriedly advised, "Now that the Crown Prince has gained real power, if he hears this, it may be even more detrimental to His Highness's future affairs."
After all, Concubine Yi came from a family of officials. She understood the general trend and knew that she had spoken too quickly just now. She glanced at Cao Canjun approvingly, and sighed faintly: "But what should we do when things have reached this point?"
Cao Shenjun lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I have a plan."
"What's the plan?" Concubine Yi's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.
"Help His Highness Li improve his reputation"
When Concubine Yi heard this, she suddenly deflated like a deflated balloon: "That little guy has such a high reputation, how can Li'er compare with it?"
"Don't you have a cousin who is the Minister of the Ministry of War?"
"Alas -" Concubine Yi sighed, "Although Yi Xuan is my cousin, but - if I ask him to do - do - then - I'm afraid -" Concubine Yi said sadly. Shaked his head.
"Mother, I didn't ask General Cui to rebel. I heard that the most talked about thing in the morning in the past few days was the rebellion in Huizhou. Looking at the situation, I am afraid that troops will be sent to quell the rebellion in a few days."
"The prince has told me about this," Concubine Yi nodded and said, "But what does this have to do with Li'er."
Cao Shenjun smiled and said: "It has a lot to do with it. His Highness the Crown Prince currently has many people who can be used. It should not be said that there are not many people who can lead the army. General Shangguan is not here. If he really wants to send troops, Cui Shangshu will be appointed as the general marshal."
Concubine Yi was also an exquisite person. She was overjoyed when she heard this, and she suddenly puffed up her proud chest. Cao Canjun's eyes widened as she looked at her, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
"You mean to ask Li Er to go on an expedition with Yixuan? How can this be possible?"
Cao Shenjun quickly collected his thoughts and asked, "Is the empress afraid that Your Highness may be in danger?"
"I only have a child like Li'er, and we must never let him take risks."
"Mother, there is no danger. The Great Sui Dynasty is different from the past. With the soul-stealing crossbow and earth bombs, it is easy to attack the city and plunder the land. This is to give credit to Mr. Cui and His Highness Li."
"Let me think about it carefully"
"Empress" Cao Shenjun saw that she still had doubts, so he continued to persuade, "What I'm worried about now is that Lord Cui can't lead the troops to quell the rebellion. The rest is easy to talk about."
Concubine Yi lowered her head and thought for a while. She felt that this matter had great potential. Then she raised her head and shouted toward the door: "Xiang'er, Xiang'er¡ª¡ª"
"The slave is here," a female servant outside the door responded crisply.
When the maidservant came in, Concubine Yi said: "Xiang'er, please report to Cui Mansion and ask Mr. Cui to come -"
Seeing this, Cao Shenjun hurriedly bent down and said, "It's inconvenient for your Majesty to live here in Taihua Palace. It's better for you to go to the Cui Mansion in person. Besides, Mr. Cui has been in Luoyang for so long. As your cousin, it's time for you to go and see Mr. Cui."
This Cao Canjun is worthy of being a staff member of the Prince's Mansion. Concubine Yi's eyes showed her approval and said: "That's fine, I will go there myself."
"Your Majesty is wise," Cao Shenjun said quickly.
"Cao Canjun, please go with me. I will ask Mr. Cui to give you a guard."
"Thank you, empress." Cao Shenjun was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Qianyang Hall, go to court early the next day.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Old man Zhu sat high in the Jinluan Hall, looking at the civil and military officials of the dynasty under the hall, feeling very proud.
"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people," Old Man Zhu said loudly. "Since the opening of the study of physical studies, there has been a strong academic interest in Guozixue these days. Just yesterday, Li Changshi told Gu that there was a strange man in Pingzhou who invented the triangular iron plow. , the plowing of cultivated land is three times that of usual, which undoubtedly greatly saves labor and fertilizes the soil; there is also news about the improvement of textile shuttles in Xuzhou happy events come one after another."
"Your Highness is wise," His Highness and all the officials sang hurriedly.
"It's all thanks to the recommendation of all of you, dear friends."
"Your Highness," Xu Xiaode stepped forward and said, "Autumn plowing is approaching. Since there is such a good thing, we must rush into production and recommend it to all prefectures and states."
"Yes, Xu Aiqing is right. Yesterday, I asked the Ministry of Industry to make a sample, draw up a sketch, and send it to the states and governments for them to try their best to build it."
"Your Highness is wise," the audience shouted again.
? ?The old man waved his hand and sighed: "Don't forget to the states and governments for the benefits. I hope that the states and governments will not let me down. Before the end of the year, we will see if the local taxes can be paid smoothly."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone in the hall became silent. Only Huainan and Jiangnan were following the tax banks of various places. The Huainan and Jiangnan tax banks could not pay it, and I am afraid that no one in other places would pay it for a while.
Everybody knows this, but all the officials in the hall dare not say it.
Old man Zhu waited for a while, but when no one responded, he continued: "Yin Shangshu, Huizhou Prefecture, your Ministry of Industry will not send any gifts for the time being."
Lord Yin, the Minister of Industry, said quickly: "I obey your orders."
At this moment, Cui Yixuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, walked out of the train and said: "I believe that the Huizhou government not only refuses to send troops, but also sends troops to quell the rebellion."
Uncle Zhu glanced at him and pretended to frown: "What do Cui Aiqing say?"
"Your Highness does not forget the prefectures and states, but the prefectures and states are ungrateful. I think the troops are targeting Huizhou to kill chickens and scare monkeys."
Xu Xiaode hurriedly came out and said: "Your Highness, no, everything is waiting to be done now, everything has just started to improve, but once the war starts, it may fall into chaos again."
"Xu Aiqing is right, all ministers and ministers will discuss it"
As soon as the old man Zhu finished speaking, all the officials in the hall were in a mess. The public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. But basically there are two factions: those who advocate war and those who advocate no war. Party leader Cui will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Party leader Yuanxu will not fight for a while.
The two factions have different opinions, which means they are clearly divided
"Since our ministers and workers are not unified," Old Man Zhu said thoughtfully, "Well then, how about Gukan sending someone to consult His Highness Changsun?"
The officials nodded, His Highness Changsun expressed everything from his own imagination and could see through things that ordinary people couldn't. What's more, when the war started, it mainly relied on the two new weapons he developed.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Old Man Zhu said to Chen Jian below: "General Chen, go and invite His Highness Chang Sun to come over."
Zhujinfang, Gao Wuniang¡¯s boudoir.
Yang Xiao lay on the big red sandalwood bed, holding the "half sacred book" and picked out several important things suitable for the development of the Sui Dynasty and read slowly.
Li Shiyin buried her head at the table, listening to Yang Xiao reciting every sentence. When she didn't understand something, she stopped, put the pen to the corner of Yin Hong's lips, and turned around to ask questions softly. After listening carefully to Yang Xiao's explanation, those bright eyes became even brighter and filled with emotion, as if they were going to melt the man on the bed.
At this time, Qing'er, who was sitting by the bed and fanning Yang Xiao, would make a "puff" sound, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Monk Hua, if you continue to read, I'm sure you will be burned by the Li family's sister. "
At this time, Li Shiyin would feel Xiafei's cheeks unconsciously, and then hurriedly lowered his head and remembered again.
"The formula of cement raw material: limestone, clay and steel slag; grind it into powder and then calcine it at high temperature to make clinker. When the clinker meets water, it will solidify into a hard block in two or three hours, which is comparable to the hardest stone. This cement is good These things are widely used in paving roads, building houses, and casting city walls. High-quality cement will last for hundreds of years"
"Brother Yang, how are you going to pave the road with this cement?" Li Shiyin stopped writing and turned around to look at Yang Xiao.
"The steel bars are used as bones and iron wires to form a frame. Mix gravel, water, and cement and stir them. They are smoothed and solidified for three hours. Cars and horses can ride on them without bumps. They can travel quickly, with little vehicle consumption and loss. When it rains, there is no mud or mud. Clean" Yang Xiao looked forward to the clean concrete roads in future generations.
"Where's that house?" When Li Shiyin heard this, her pupils were black and bright, as if they were reflecting the person.
¡°The same goes for a house, with steel bars as the skeleton, iron wire as the frame, beams placed horizontally and vertically, and bricks covering all sides, so that wind and rain will not invade.¡±
"Then have you seen it?"
Yang Xiao's thoughts seemed to be immersed in the prosperity of later generations, and he naturally responded: "I have seen it, of course I have seen it, a hundred-meter-high building, soaring into the sky."
The two of them became excited after hearing this, and shouted together: "Isn't it like a place where gods live? This book belongs to the ancestors of the Li family. I heard that the ancestors of the Li family are immortals. Then Brother Yang, have you also been to heaven?"
Yang Xiao was shocked when he heard this and secretly thought that what was worse was that if these two girls asked questions like this, he would be tricked out if he was not careful.
Just when Yang Xiao was thinking about how to deal with it, Zhao Heizi's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness Changsun, my general is here"
Yang Xiao was overjoyed that he came at the right time. He quickly sat up and said loudly: "Heizi, hurry up, let General Chen come in."
Qing'er and Li Shiyin were asking about the beauty of it, but were interrupted by Zhao Heizi. They couldn't help but look at each other resentfully, and both shook their heads impatiently.
Chen Jian walked in quickly and saw Yang Xiao sitting on the edge of the bed. The two girls had resentful looks on their faces.Knowing that he came at the wrong time, he quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness Changsun, Your Highness the Crown Prince has invited you."
"Hey" Yang Xiao asked, looking at the sky outside the window, "The morning is not over yet?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness Changsun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the officials are waiting for you."
"Let's go then" Yang Xiao handed half of the sacred book to Qing'er and quickly escaped from this 'place of right and wrong'.
Several people walked out of the door. Yang Xiao gave the two girls a few words before he and Chen Jian got on their horses and headed to the north bank.
On the way, Yang Xiao asked, "What was discussed at court this morning?"
"It's mainly about the Huizhou rebellion"
Yang smiled and sighed: "It's just as I expected. What does the prince mean?"
"The prince is also hesitant." Chen Jian told Yang Xiao bit by bit what happened in the morning court.
After hearing this, Yang Xiao chuckled and said, "Old Man Pig is not hesitant, but Old Man Pig is eager to establish his authority."
"Your Highness, are you saying that His Highness the Crown Prince advocates sending troops?" Chen Jian asked in surprise.
"Well, if taxes and money from various places are delayed, the New Deal will not be carried out. Alas, it might as well be a dozen."
