Chapter 111 The Prince Li Longji could not get the result, so he had to go back. Zhu Tong only reminded Li Chiying and said nothing. But he is the only one who knows Wang Hua's full plan. If Li Longji pushes Li Chiying too hard this time, there is a possibility that Li Longji will have no hope at all in this competition. Because Wang Hua values ????family ties the most, what he hates most is that the imperial power has too much power, and he also hates the lack of family ties in the imperial family. With that, a large amount of supplies were shipped to the south, and nearly 100,000 people were resettled, but they came with nothing. In order for them to survive, a large amount of supplies must be provided. Another point is that I am not afraid of the cold. Coming from Mobei, I have also been tempered by the severe cold. The main problems are acclimatization and altitude sickness. In order to make these people adapt, a large amount of fruits and medicinal materials were prepared. The arrival of these supplies quickly calmed down the miserable people. In the words of some mentally unbalanced officials in the Central Plains or Turks, Wang Hua was not a man of skill. He was just using money to create peace. These are over a million people in the twenty-three states. If we put them in the entire Tang Dynasty, what abilities would he have? Wang Hua just smiled at this kind of voice. If you have the ability, go and earn it. In addition to these materials, Wang Hua accelerated the mining and transportation of another material. Coal There are still a large number of forests from the south of Jishi Mountain to the west side of Yinshan Mountain. Some forests are so dense that the army cannot move forward and must take a detour. This is also a good phenomenon, just like Fengzhou City. The fork of the Yellow River in the north is now rippling. What will happen next? Small gutter? Creek? These forests and grasslands protect the soil and water from loss to a great extent. This is why Wang Hua is repeatedly surprised that there are so many people living from the south of Jishi Mountain to Dafeichuan, and they still live in a nomadic way. Another example is the Hequ and Shuihe areas, which are now the best farming areas in the Twenty-three Prefectures. It would be unbelievable in later generations. But why the subsequent changes occurred is undoubtedly due to man-made destruction. Of course, the damage was not done here, but the most serious places were from the south of Yinshan Mountain to Nanhetao, and then to the meander of the river. The first man-made destruction is grazing, and the second is indiscriminate deforestation, which reduces the forest area. This problem also exists in Qinzhou. Due to man-made logging, flash floods often occur and many people drown. The reason for felling is not only to make furniture and other appliances, but also for heating. The bigger the tree, the more popular it is. So when he was about to start firing porcelain, Wang Hua started looking for coal mines. It's also a waste and pollution, but it's better than cutting down big trees. Twenty-three states coal mines have unique conditions. China's largest coal mining belt starts from Helan Mountain and spreads eastwards to Lingzhou, Yanzhou, Nanhetao and Yunshuo Landai. This time he is not looking for coal mines in Gong County. After several years of training, he has a group of "professional talents" in his hands and can use a lot of manpower and material resources. Soon, some coal mines were discovered one after another. But something happened that made Wang Hua cry. It was possible that this group of people actually ran away because they had given them high treatment and enough respect (the status of craftsmen in this era was very low). After going too far, I ran to Dongshoujiang City to search and search, and found an iron mine. This shocked Wang Hua. He immediately went to Dongshoujiang City and wrote a big sign in person: The things underground cannot be mined within two hours from Lingzhou to Oceania. ??Drawed a map that later covered the entire Baotou area. I was still afraid that people would not pay attention to it, so I wrote again: There are things underground called rare earths, which are associated with iron. They are the treasures of the future world and are expensive gold. Future generations must remember not to be greedy for small profits and mislead future generations. No mineral deposits can be touched in this underground area, mainly for rare earths. In his previous life, this was a pain in the hearts of the Chinese people. The Japanese once suppressed the price of Chinese cabbage to more than ten yuan per kilogram, saying that the price of Chinese cabbage was exaggerated, but it was definitely not as expensive as pork. Or you can only buy fat. Moreover, the Japanese were very convincing, saying that this thing came from China, but it was a world resource and must be sold, and at a "fair" price. ¡°While fooling the Chinese people into being complacent, they also kept prices lower and lower. Later, when the production was reduced, I realized that this was not the case. Rare earths are found all over the world. China¡¯s rare earth reserves increased from 90% to 50%, then to 30%, and then to 20%. Well, people just hide good things and don't exploit them. It hurts to think about it. It is futile to use copper as currency now. If the currency is insufficient, the economy will not be able to circulate. That's it, one kilogram of copper can be cast into copper coins, and with some other materials, it can also cast four hundred copper coins. Calculate, you can still get more than 200 yuan, which is much better than a dozen yuan.Why is it set at two hours to reach Oceania? Because if it reaches Oceania at this speed, plus the take-off and landing time, the aircraft must be technically close to the speed of sound by then. The role of rare earths will also be brought into play. After this sign was released, it caused a lot of discussion. The first thing is speed. How is it possible to reach Oceania in two hours? Wang Hua replied: "Why is it impossible? Can't you go to heaven now?" Yes, you can understand it once it is explained, but without it, it is unimaginable. The second one is what rare earths are. Wang Hua also talked about some future products, such as satellites, rockets, mobile phones, cameras, etc., and explained the role of rare earths in them. But this was even more incredible and aroused more discussion. Of course, Wang Hua is not Qingshangou, and he is not afraid of shocking the world now. The reason for doing this shows that there is a huge treasure hidden underground, and it is even related to the future of the country. But if you can't move, it's not time to move. September is the harvest season, even though Dafeichuan only has thick frost at night, it is still very warm during the day. But cold weather is coming. Seizing the last moment, he sent a large amount of coal to Jishi Mountain. On the surface, it still focuses on developing internal affairs. This is also reasonable. Some time ago, major forces seriously threatened the survival of the eight states, so the people and soldiers of the eight states showed their greatest courage. Now that the threat from all forces has been lifted, people are no longer willing to fight. After all, most of those who died were their own children, and internal affairs were also the basis of military affairs. And Wang Hua also did the same. First, he integrated the four brigades of the Seventh Army into order and did not expand the army. Then nearly 600,000 more people were added, and three divisions of 40,000 militiamen were recruited again. This number did not increase because the territory more than doubled, but instead the number of militiamen decreased. ??Though military power is aside, civil affairs are doing very well. Because of large subsidies, trophies given out for military exploits, their own labor, wages in workshops, or related side jobs, such as sugar beet, flower picking, bamboo cutting, kiln industry, and coal mining, people had extra money in their hands and began to Buy some spare little things. Most of these little things were shipped from the Central Plains, and smart people began to make them themselves. The great benefit was that finally most of the people had no complaints about Wang Hua forcing them to give up their nomadic life. Even some nomadic peoples in the desert to the west of Helan Mountain began to send representatives to Lingzhou to negotiate with Wang Hua's men and enter the twenty-three states. Wang Hua naturally welcomed these people's attachment. But there is one thing: you must give up the nomadic life. Not only these herdsmen, but the herdsmen on the north side of Lianyin Mountain also started to get ready to take action after seeing the changes on that side of the mountain day by day. This is all a good phenomenon. What is lacking in the twenty-three states now? What is missing are the people. But in this calm, just like Luoyang, it is just the calm before the storm. When transporting supplies, a large number of weapons were also quietly transported to Jishi Mountain. This is the coming of another war. But this is not the main thing. The arrival of one person will cause a bloody storm. Time gradually entered late September, and a group of carriages, protected by dozens of guards dressed as civilians, quietly arrived in Lingzhou. Instead of coming to Wang Hua's house, he went to the corner of the northern wall of Lingzhou City. Here, Wang Hua quietly placed a spacious courtyard. The carriage didn¡¯t even stop at the gate. Seeing the arrival of the carriage and the mark on the carriage, the porter directly opened the middle door and let the carriage drive in. It didn¡¯t attract anyone¡¯s attention. There are many places in Lingzhou that are restricted areas. This is to keep confidentiality, such as the formula of gunpowder and the production of some new weapons. Without relevant procedures, not even Ge Shuhan can enter. ¡°Then two men found Wang Hua on horseback. Wang Hua is discussing matters with Zhu Tong and Mo Heqian. The weather is gradually getting colder, and it¡¯s not long before the Tibetans take action. There is also the possibility that something big will happen in Luoyang, and the three of them are planning the arrangements. After hearing the report from the two guards, Wang Hua said to Zhu Dian and Mo Heqian, "Here we come." Zhu Dian and Mo Heqian looked at each other, and the day finally came. Wang Hua said to them: "Let's go over and take a look." The three people came to the north of the city, and the servants were carrying things. Li Chongjun stood at the door of the living room in a daze, with a pretty girl standing next to him. This is a girl from the Liu family that Li Chongjun fell in love with after he went to Oceania. She was very beautiful and elegant, and her father was a scholar. I failed the exam many times, but?My family's financial situation began to decline, and I couldn't live a better life, so I came to Oceania. After arriving in Oceania, I started to feel like a fish in water. There is no shortage of labor in Oceania, but what is lacking are intellectuals and elites. But fortunately, Wang Hua can draw any outline on nothingness. So a few physical, chemical and geography books began to be used as teaching materials. Old Master Liu quickly found a well-paying job, and his family¡¯s life began to improve. Growing up in a scholar's family, Mrs. Liu was very knowledgeable about etiquette and politeness. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fall into Li Chongjun¡¯s eyes. At that time, Li Hong and the others also arrived in Oceania. When they heard about this, they immediately vouched for themselves and became the matchmaker. Just as Wang Hua thought, although Li Chongjun was a prince in trouble, orthodoxy was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The old master of the Liu family agreed to the marriage without any hesitation. Wang Hua looked at this pretty girl and thought, does this count as a princess? Seeing Wang Hua and the others coming, Zhu Dian, Mo Heqian and Li Chongjun had never met, but they had heard about it, so Li Chongjun immediately came over to see them. Of course, he was not stupid enough to think that he was the crown prince of Luoyang. The three of them returned the gift and walked into the living room together. Wang Hua said: "Your Highness, can you get used to living in Oceania?" "It's okay," Li Chongjun replied. But there is still a bit of disappointment on his face. In fact, Li Chongjun lives in the original Sydney Bay. The climate is not much different from that of Luoyang, with four distinct seasons. A city was built there, but due to the population base, the city was not large. ¡°And in Oceania, they are all Wang Hua¡¯s people, so he has no say, and one can imagine his inner loss. When he was answering, Wang Hua kept observing his expression. It doesn¡¯t matter if you are disappointed, Guan Jian can¡¯t have any resentment in his heart. At least you can't see it now. Wang Hua continued: "I call you here this time. There is a possibility that I will help you regain the throne, but there is a possibility that I will not support you. Song Wen probably told you about this." Hearing the word "throne", Li A glimmer of hope appeared in Chongjun's eyes, but then dimmed. When Song Wen came, he had a long meeting with him and talked a lot. The key point is to talk about one issue. He may not be helped to the throne. Even if he is helped, Wang Hua will carry out many reforms and eliminate many shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty. The implication is that when you become an emperor, you are also a puppet emperor, like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty. Wang Hua added: "As for the reason, Song Wen probably explained it to you. Although you are the crown prince, the emperor himself said that you were plotting evil, and you have no advantage in terms of justice. But to help you become emperor, we can only However, there were two famous times in history when King Qin used the banner of the Qing Emperor. The first time was the Rebellion of the Seven Kings. The Seven Kings used the banner of the Qing Emperor, but were quickly suppressed by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. The other time was when Xu Jingye rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. It also failed quickly. Similar things happened many times in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but the final result was difficult to achieve. Instead, the wars continued and the dynasties changed. This was not what I wanted. " Li Chongjun listened silently. He is not very expert in military affairs, but he still knows these historical anecdotes very well. What Wang Hua said makes sense. But there is one thing Wang Hua did not say. His current situation is very similar to that of Zhu Di later. The two parties occupy a very small area and have very few troops. But they have the strongest soldiers and generals in the world, and they are united as one. The failure of the Seven Kings was because Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was still alive. The failure of Xu Jingye was because he did not have an heir to the throne, and he withdrew to the south when the army was launched. It was obvious that he was trying to separate Jiangnan under the banner of King Qin, which frustrated the soldiers. If Wei Shi really dares to murder Li Xian, and he has the card of Li Chongjun in his hand, his success rate will be infinitely magnified. But one thing is that Li Chongjun must cooperate and not be half-hearted. Otherwise, there will be chaos before fighting, and the world will laugh at you. So Wang Hua added: "So I can only wait for the right time. Of course, you will suffer some constraints, but it is not without gain. Even after taking the throne, I can guarantee that I will not do anything like Sima Zhao. No. But you, your descendants, are still the emperor. There is only one thing. The emperor's power will be devolved, but not to me, but to the hands of civil and military officials. In this way, there will be no faint emperor and the common people of the world will be safe. The phenomenon of suffering all the time and then rising up." At this point, he stared at Li Chongjun. Li Chongjun's expression was slightly unhappy, but he quickly covered it up and said: "Wang Erlang, you can do whatever you want. You saved the Gu family's life. Don't say that I will become an emperor, but I will not become an emperor. I won't blame you." "That's good. Please include two more items. The first one is that it's me.?You rescued me, otherwise someone will say that I had a conspiracy a long time ago. If we take action, we should act with a small conscience in mind, and this great righteousness cannot be lost. I will use some means to make you appear upright and fair in front of the world. " "I understand this. "The second thing is that we are waiting for the opportunity, but it is not the time for you to show up." Therefore, during this period of time, I can only live in a simple way and stay at home. If you need it, please let me know and I will send someone to deliver it immediately. "That is to say, house arrest in disguise, but it must be explained clearly, otherwise the crown prince will not be able to think about it, and will start to feel dissatisfied before sending troops, which will be detrimental to the entire plan. "Don't worry, Erlang, it's better than having the prime minister locked up in the palace by his eldest mother. powerful. "No," Wang Hua smiled gently: "I am not the Queen Mother. I want to help you become the emperor, so why should I treat you like that." " After saying that, he waved his hand, and the servants outside the door brought in many things. From clothes and toiletries to bedding, they were all secretly made according to the specifications of the East Palace. After talking for a while, Wang Hua, Zhu Dian and the others left. On the way, Wang Hua asked Zhu Tong and Mo Hegan: "What do you think of this prince? " Mo Hegan replied: "I observed that he was quite unhappy. " "Being unhappy is not a big problem. It turned out to be the crown prince, but now he is a tool to be used. Even though I made a promise, he is not at ease. Even if he is relieved, such an emperor is not the emperor in his heart. I am not afraid that he will not be happy, but I am afraid that he will not understand the general situation. " " But apart from him, we have no second choice. "Zhu Tong said. "It turns out that he wanted to be the founding prime minister of Oceania. Now that Oceania has not yet been established, it is just a rough start. There is still a possibility that he can realize this wish. "Of course, if he can be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it will be even more glorious. According to the current plan, the future Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty will definitely occupy one of them. But out of rationality, he still said worriedly: "The cunning rabbit has three holes, should we prepare a second escape route. "Although Li Chongjun is under their control. Don't be afraid before committing trouble. If Li Chongjun dares to cause trouble, he will be killed directly. Anyway, he has long been a missing person on the blacklist. Don't be afraid after success. At that time, Wang Hua The overall situation has been decided, and even if you want to disobey, you don't have the strength to do so. Don't worry when the trouble is happening in the Twenty-three Prefectures. After leaving the Twenty-Three Prefectures, if you want to quickly stabilize the world, you can't just rely on the Blood Camp. If Li Chongjun was half-hearted at that time, he would have to recruit other military officials, which would be a disaster. , even Jie Wan, as Wang Hua said, has military talents. In terms of official administration, Yao Chongzhi, Zhang Shuo and others of the Song Dynasty are also no worse than Wang Hua and Zhu Tong. It¡¯s worrying. ¡°The second way out? Wang Hua raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "It's difficult. Li Guo'er is not suitable. Li Chongfu is more successful than Li Chongjun and more likely to fail." Li Chongmao is sixteen years old this year, so he is also a candidate. And I heard that he has a gentle personality and is a bit cowardly, but he is still a good candidate. But if our budget is correct, this Fourth Prince will be controlled by Webster. It makes no sense for us to make him emperor again. "Wang Hua did not tell the story of the several sons of the Prime Minister. "While the Prime Minister is still alive, it is against the rules to establish his sons. Once the Prime Minister is established, the Prime Minister himself is cunning and cunning. With the help of Princess Taiping, Li Longji has great ambitions. , the consequences will be worse, it is better to directly support Li Longji, and there are other disciples of the clan, but if the righteousness is not important, it is better not to stand. "But there is a way out. " "Oh, what's the way out? " "Maybe I can afford to wait for this way out, but you can't. " "Tell me? "This aroused Zhu Tong's curiosity. "The second question I asked Li Longji was aimed at him. His ambitions are good, but he also likes great achievements. Therefore, we attach great importance to opening up the side, but as you all know, the soldiers are now in trouble. If you want to strengthen your army, you must be like our Blood Camp, where the border generals have very concentrated rights and can cultivate an army by themselves. Commanders are loyal and know each other well, which is also a guarantee of victory. And the young Li Longji has gone through hardships, changed his position and made achievements, and can control the situation. But he has too many hobbies, including painting and calligraphy, music and dancing, poetry, riding and shooting. I have said that the problem of imperial power and the concentration of power will inevitably lead to his extensive hobbies causing him to gradually neglect political affairs after he has made a difference. And Mo Heqian, please don't be offended. In terms of military force, the barbarians and the Tibetan people are slightly stronger. Therefore, while he is neglecting political affairs, the general will?If the majority of the Hu people and the Tibetan people control the power, it will be the greatest disaster. " No wonder Wang Hua said that Li Longji could be a good emperor for at least twenty years. " Wang Hua added: "At that time, I led my troops to sort out the world of the Tang Dynasty. It was a matter of course. No matter how round it was, no one had any objections." But maybe I will be old by then. " Mo Heqian and Zhu Dian both smiled bitterly. Wang Hua was already old, and it was indeed possible that Zhu Dian and Mo Heqian would not be alive by then. The three of them walked in silence for a while, until the autumn wind blew and a fallen leaf flew away. In front of them, Wang Huacai said: "Never mind, let's see Luoyang first. Our good queen is waiting for me to send someone to discuss the marriage. She is not at ease if this marriage is not discussed. Mr. Zhu, General Moheqian, who do you think I should send to Luoyang, or how to talk to her? " He said and looked at them with a smile. " This industry must have heavyweights. In the entire twenty-three states, only Zhu Dian and Mo Heqian are suitable. " []
