I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"Don't hide it from me, you just said that I can't survive my father! It's okay, just say it straight, I can stand it!"

Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes when he heard this, and slapped Li Shimin's hand away.

"What are you thinking? I just said that if you don't pay attention to your body like this, you may not survive your father. It doesn't mean that you are sick. Do you understand? Can't understand people's words or something?"

Li Shimin was stunned by Zhang Nuo's scolding, but he was half awake, and asked again quietly,

"I'm really fine? Hidden disease? You won't lie to me, will you?"

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Zhang Nuo really didn't bother to talk to him. Damn, he was cooking. He tossed the wool back and forth, and said loudly as he walked towards the kitchen,

"Is there any use for me lying to you? Stay at ease and eat later!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo's attitude seemed to be the same as usual, Li Shimin finally put back the heart that had just reached his throat, but just as he turned his head, he saw his father looking at him with disgust again.

"Bah, you're worthless, you scare yourself, I'm so cowardly!"

Li Shimin's face was pale now, and almost instantly turned into a liver color again!

It's nothing, it's all because of his father's broken mouth, but he still doesn't know how to retaliate, because he was really embarrassing and scary just now.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't care so much at all. It can even be said that if someone else said that to him, it would be the same as not saying anything.

But the key person who said this was Zhang Nuo, who had known each other for more than half a year and used all kinds of magical methods. Not to mention anything else, he had already treated the Empress Changsun, Qin Qiong, Li Yuan and others to rosy faces.

Do you dare not listen to what this kind of person says?Do you dare not believe it?

Li Shimin just really thought that his life was not long, he had some incurable disease, maybe he would die within three to five days.

However, since the fatal matter has been determined to be gone for the time being, then this embarrassing matter has to be ignored.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Yuan, gritted his teeth and said,

"Father, the current health of the son-in-law can maintain the country and the country, so the son-in-law can't worry about it?"

The words are very reasonable, but in Li Yuan's view, farts are useless,

"Bah, it's as if no one has ever been an emperor! Even if you belch now, can't I go up? Even if I don't go up, if I support Cheng Qian to go up, who can object?"

"Count on yourself, what are you talking about? Jiangshan Sheji? Why? You alone can be the emperor?"

Li Shimin was so angry with Li Yuan's insults that his hands trembled a little. Thanks to his father, if it was someone else, he would have stood up and looked for someone desperately.

Chapter 381 Zhang Nuo's Diagnosis

When Zhang Nuo took off his apron and washed his hands and went to the table, he felt amused when he saw the anxious grandparents and grandchildren facing each other with pale faces and swords drawn.

Right now, he feels like the restaurant owner in his previous life, who can always see the laughter, scolding, joys and sorrows in the world after work.

In his previous life, there were fights, quarrels, marriage proposals, and breakups in his restaurant.

Too many stories happened in that small restaurant, and they were not earth-shattering events, but usually trivial matters of the surrounding guests.

But it is precisely these things that allow Zhang Nuo to feel the separation and reunion of the world while making money.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo is very familiar with this kind of situation where he is anxious to turn pale when he is about to eat at the table.

"What's the matter, are the three of you planning to fight before dinner?"

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed by Zhang Nuo's words, but he still gave his father a look, kicked his son lightly by the way, and then raised his head and said,

"Isn't this frightened by you? I thought I had some unmentionable disease and I wouldn't live long!"

As long as Li Shimin calms down, he won't talk to each other, including Li Yuan. This is the tacit understanding between them, or the tacit understanding of their whole family.

Otherwise, Empress Changsun would have her own palace, and Li Chengqian would have to call herself lonely, plus two who called themselves Zhen, wouldn't that be too difficult?

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head, instead of continuing to talk about those things, he said with a smile,

"Don't talk about that, let's eat first, try my handicrafts, if you have anything to talk about later!"

Everyone came to the restaurant to prepare for dinner, and they consciously washed their hands first. They had spent a long time eating with Zhang Nuo, and they had already learned Zhang Nuo's habits.

The dishes were nothing special, they were just home-cooked dishes, but Zhang Nuo made everyone their favorite.

Therefore, in the first period of time after the meal, almost no one spoke, and everyone was immersed in eating.

Zhang Nuo was not much better than his family. After all, he had been outside for a while, so it was impossible to eat the same food as at home in the barracks.

Even if he took advantage of his position to buy a lot of food himself, the conditions in the military camp couldn't compare with those at home.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo, who had eaten two bowls of rice in a row, finally came to his senses. Seeing Li Shimin bring up the previous topic with a smile,

"Lao Li, do you think I said you have a hidden disease? Afraid of death?"

Li Shimin was eating happily at the moment, he rolled his eyes unceremoniously when he heard the words, swallowed the food in his mouth and said angrily,

"Who is not afraid of death? You even said what my father said about sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Am I not afraid?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's tone became much lower,

"I still have a lot of ideas in my heart, a lot of ambitions I want to realize, and I don't worry about the rest. If the court has no money, it will accumulate slowly. If the military strength is not enough, it will train slowly. If there are problems with the government, it can be adjusted slowly."

"I can change everything else, even if it's difficult, I'm not helpless, but I can't do anything about life expectancy. So, when you said it before, I became anxious!"

Li Shimin's words were very frank, even Li Yuan didn't attack directly, and ate the food in silence, but Zhang Nuo nodded secretly, he believed that what Li Shimin said was sincere.

An emperor who can be called the eternal emperor in later generations will not even have such a heart and ambition.

Anyone who can achieve great things is a great talent with firm determination and indomitable progress. In the eyes of ordinary people, the difficulties that are as difficult as reaching the sky may be just hills that must be climbed in the eyes of these people.

But when manpower is also limited, things like Shouyuan are no longer something that can be solved by will and talent. No wonder Li Shimin is worried.

Zhang Nuo looked at Li Shimin, then said seriously,

"You know, Lao Li, logically speaking, since you were young, you are now even more expensive as an emperor, and everything is the best. But in fact, in terms of health and health, you are indeed not as good as the old man!"

Zhang Nuo pressed his hand, stopped Li Shimin from speaking, and said seriously,

"Food is not tired of eating fine and not tired of eating is just a pursuit, but what you pursue is not health. In addition, the old man eats well and sleeps well every day. There is nothing to worry about, let alone worry about it. It's not like you are locked in a palace every day. Do you want to be comfortable worrying about political affairs?"

"A human being is like a sophisticated machine. One thread moves the whole body. If you don't pay attention here, if you don't pay attention there, it will be difficult to not think of problems after a long period of time!"

Li Shimin bowed his head silently when he heard the words, he knew Zhang Nuo's meaning, the political affairs were complicated and could be handed over to him, no matter which one was a major issue affecting the national economy and the people's livelihood, how dare he make a decision so easily.

So, he was really tired, but he felt that it was worth it!

Li Shimin didn't speak anymore, but Empress Changsun asked instead,

"Uncle, can Erlang's body recover? Why don't you give me a prescription or something so that I can supervise Erlang's recovery?"

Empress Changsun looked at Zhang Nuo expectantly, and even Li Yuan and Li Chengqian turned their heads to look over. Only Li Shimin still lowered his head and slowly stuffed vegetables into his mouth. I can't eat it.

Zhang Nuo didn't tantalize people about this kind of thing, but simply nodded his head,

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll write a note for you later, from work and rest to diet, just pay attention to it, as for taking medicine, there is no need for it, and people are not sick, so why take medicine? Medicine is three-point poison , if you can’t take medicine, don’t take medicine!”

Empress Changsun nodded in surprise, thinking to herself, after getting the note, she would go to the palace to tell people to implement it, especially those servants, they must beat and beat, and don't just indulge your husband blindly.

As for those concubines in the palace who are charming and charming, thinking of this, Empress Changsun took a look at Li Shimin. Her husband is indeed a man of great talent, and he can restrain himself in other aspects, but he is a little bit unsure about his beauty.

But thinking about what Zhang Nuo said before, Empress Changsun gritted her teeth secretly. If those vicious girls are really dishonest and uncooperative, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Did she really treat her as the queen and lord of the harem for nothing?

She is usually lenient towards others and will not get involved in those intrigues, but if these vicious girls dare to disturb her husband's health plan, she doesn't mind letting these girls know what the majesty of a queen is.

Chapter 382 Li Shimin's Anger

This matter is over here, and Li Shimin is actually relieved. As long as there are no unmentionable diseases, terminal illnesses, etc., just adjust the diet, work and rest, then you don’t have to worry about it at all. Guanyin's servant girl can arrange it.

Seeing that the incident just now had passed, Li Yuan brought up another topic,

"Boy Zhang, what have you gained from leading the army this time? Don't you think it's very majestic? Do you want to be a general or something?"

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"Prestige is naturally prestige, but what is the fun of fighting? Afterwards, it may be very powerful, breaking the city and killing the enemy or something, but in fact, in that process, it can be said to be walking on thin ice. After all, one step at a time is wrong. Wrong, no one dares to mess around!"

Li Yuan didn't know if he had reached the age of menopause, but after hearing Zhang Nuo's words, he immediately opened up like a reflex,

"Fuck, who hasn't led the army to fight? It's right to be cautious, but a man has to go to the battlefield and expand the territory. A good man should do things!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuan suddenly frowned, and asked seriously,

"Boy Zhang, you've almost finished your military training now. Didn't that businessman from the Western Regions say he would get you a war horse? At that time, the old man will go to your army and become a general incognito. Let's get rid of the Turkic gang first." What if the beasts are exterminated?"

Zhang Nuo looked at Li Yuan dumbfounded. Nima, this old man is a warmonger, why is he so ambitious and wants to fight?

But before he could open his mouth to object, Li Shimin on the side spoke up,

"Brother, tell me, can we give Turkic a guy to be cruel this year? Last year, my brother was humiliated by Turkic, you can't just watch!"

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li, Nima, he hadn't come to Datang at that time last year, even if he came, what else could he do, a restaurant owner to interfere in the war between the two countries?

But since Li Shimin asked this question, he had to say what he should say, after all, it was still related to his own mission.

"Old Li, you have to understand that if you're fighting Luo Yi, you don't have to think too much about it. Prepare food and mobilize troops to fight. After all, the impact will not be great!"

"But Turkic is different. It's a war between countries. It's an all-round competition. In the end, it's even a competition of national power. Are you really ready?"

"Or have you already figured out the pros and cons?"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Yuan spoke first.

"Pros and cons? How do you count the pros and cons?"

Li Yuan is a full-fledged warmonger, especially now that the throne is gone, his health is better, and the relationship between father and son is much more harmonious than before. Now he has some ideas. Although he can't be the emperor, he still You can lead troops to fight and open up territories.

As a supreme emperor, a founding emperor, even if he abdicates, he can still conquer the barbarians and expand the territory. How will it be recorded in the history books in the future?

It's exciting to think about it, so when it comes to war, he is more nervous than Li Shimin.

Zhang Nuo organized the words in his mind a little, and then said seriously,

"Look, there is a lot of information about the other party. In fact, we all know the strength of the army, the number of cavalry, and the number of horses. After understanding these things, the rest is rigorous calculation work."

"On the one hand, we can calculate how many troops are needed to fight a war of subjugation and extinction. At the same time, how long will it take to mobilize so many troops? How much food and grass will be consumed in total? How many auxiliary troops will be needed to cooperate?"

"Then after deploying so many troops and manpower, how much impact will it have on domestic production? How much will it cause a reduction in food production? Adding in the food and grass needed for the war, how long can we sustain the war?"

"Also, how much benefit can we gain after defeating the Turks? Can these benefits make up for the shortfall of the war?"

"In fact, these things need to be calculated before the war. Only in this way can we not fight unprepared battles. The kind of people who take it for granted that they have money and go to war are what Emperor Sui Yang did. Son!"

Speaking of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, everyone was taken aback. In fact, Lao Li's family was still relatives with Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, not that kind of relationship, but serious relatives.

The Sui Dynasty was originally full of flowers and flourishing, but it went into decline in such a short period of time. A large part of the reason was the impact of the three expeditions to Goryeo.

A war, especially this kind of war of extermination of the country, the manpower and material resources used are simply unimaginable. It hurts every time, let alone three times in a row?

Not only Zhang Nuo understood this kind of thing, but Li Shimin's family of four also understood it very well, especially the two emperors, who knew exactly how much a protracted and large-scale battle would burden the country.

At this time, Li Yuan didn't have the previous jokes anymore. After pondering for a while, he said seriously,

"Boy Zhang, what do you think is the right time for the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to go to war?"

Zhang Nuo thought about the original history carefully, and combined with his own changes to Datang in the future, he said slowly,

"Actually, you can try this winter. After all, every winter is a life-and-death crisis for those grassland nomads. They are predatory and do not produce. You said that the Turks who just made a fortune in Datang last winter, Do you think this year is another good opportunity?"

When mentioning the Weishui alliance last year, Li Shimin felt his teeth itch, and immediately said,

"Absolutely! Those dog thieves from the Turks are the white-eyed wolves who don't know how to raise them, and so is Gao Li. As long as there is a chance, they will never let go of any chance to bite my Tang!"

Apparently this was talking about Li Shimin's sad incident. Now the veins on his neck are popping out, Zhang Nuo sighed and said,

"Old Li, you'd better not be so excited. This kind of thing is actually very simple. As long as you are sure that the other party intends to offend, then prepare in advance and beat him to death at once!"

"If you have time, you can invite Lao Du and the others to have a good discussion and see if you can arrange it. Don't do everything yourself. If you have that kind of thought, you might as well think about how to develop the national power!"

"To put it bluntly, as long as the national strength reaches a certain level, other people will feel weak when they see the banner of Datang, let alone pounce on it and take a bite!"

Li Shimin was taken aback by Zhang Nuo's words, but he couldn't help thinking of the scene Zhang Nuo mentioned just now. Thinking about it, it's really beautiful, but he doesn't know when it will come true.

Chapter 383 The Mysterious Yard

Li Shimin came to Zhang Nuo's house this time, because he really hadn't seen him for a while, and he just came to meet and chat.

Of course, Cengfan is also one of the intended goals. With such a skilled cook at the side, it would be a shame not to Cengfan.

After drinking and eating, everyone sat on the sofa. Li Shimin will leave later, and now he is just killing time, so he said casually,
