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

After getting his son settled, Li Shimin rushed to the harem immediately, and cheerfully told his wife that he wanted to conscript himself.

Even though Empress Changsun has been exposed to a little bit of political affairs now, she actually has no say in this kind of matter.

Not to mention, once Li Shimin said that Zhang Nuo and Li Chengqian had been dealt with, it would be useless to say it.

Just looking at her husband's embarrassing look, she rolled her very elegant eyes!

The next day there was no grand court meeting, but Li Shimin still asked people to call everyone, and then came up with one sentence, I have decided to go to the Royal Conquest, and His Royal Highness King Qin also supports, and His Royal Highness King Qin will also go in person, everyone also No comments.

Good guy, once you hear this, everyone will not be sleepy anymore. In an instant, a scene of destroying the family and helping the country is staged. Everyone is screaming and wanting to use money to sponsor. For Li Shimin himself, he wants to drive himself to conquer the matter. Don't care anymore.

Chapter 662 Turkic and Tibetan panic

Just when Li Shimin was making a big splash in the court, the Tubo and Turks outside the country actually received the news vaguely.

After all, this is Zhang Nuo's fault!

Isn't Zhang Nuo always advocating the prosperity of business and trade? Some people who are bold and have a little relationship start to think about selling something to a foreign land. Wouldn't that make more money?

One of the most important items, that is the wine.

Liquor, rice wine, high-alcohol, low-alcohol, anyway, now Datang has no shortage of food, and there are more people drinking, and the production of this wine is increasing steadily.

So more and more people are transporting wine to takeaway.After all, in Tubo and Turks, this wine is really easy to sell, it's almost like picking up money.

And when you come back, you can bring back some exotic things, whether it's medicinal materials or something, anyway, the young and old in Chang'an City are much richer than before, even if they look a little confused and don't know what to do. Things, as long as the price is not outrageous, dare to buy it and see it first.

In this way, it is possible to do business with foreign countries.

As for business, it’s natural to come and go. People in Tubo and Turks are not all big fools who have never seen the world. Seeing the businessmen in this pass continuously tossing back and forth, they naturally understand what’s going on here. It is very profitable.

So can't they do it?

Of course!

So since the first caravan from outside the region came to Datang with the caravans farther from the Western Regions and went back and forth, slowly, more and more chambers of commerce came to Datang from outside.

I don't talk about other places in the Tang Dynasty, but it can be said to be the strongest among all dynasties in terms of tolerance to foreign cultures and foreign nations.

So these foreign teams who came to Chang'an to make money with a heart full of awe, really hang out in Chang'an city, although the old Chang'an people will inevitably stretch their necks when they see foreigners, lift their heads up and look at people with their nostrils The posture is a bit uncomfortable, but if you get used to it, you will find that this place is really good.

Well, when the first group of foreign businessmen who have seen the world and made money come back to their own tribe and blow it up, good guy, the group after group of people who followed it almost regarded it as a tour group. One batch hasn't left yet, and the next batch will come.

The people of Chang'an are naturally so happy, after all, the foreigner's longing for my Tang heart does not mean that we have a reputation and a status.

But precisely because of this situation, after there are more people coming and going, it becomes a natural situation for someone to mix in. After all, it is so upright to send spies over, so why think of another way? .

Therefore, some of the changes in the Tang Dynasty have become more and more detailed and vividly displayed in the eyes of countries outside the region.

This time, such a big incident happened to the old Kong’s family, and the whole Chang’an was full of uproar. In addition, the [-] troops from Zhang Nuo’s side had to rest for a month before they came back. let out.

Then, it didn't take long, both Tubo and Turkic received the news,

After getting the news, both Tubo and Turk were dumbfounded. Isn't this Nima a little bit wrong? This is obviously going to cause trouble.

No one knows what the old Kong family has done better than them. These people are not stupid. The reason why they found the old Kong family and promised a lot of money to win them over was the reputation and connections of the old Kong family.

As long as the other party's connections and reputation are still there, then the other party will definitely continue to help with various things!

On the other hand, it is precisely because the background of the other party is actually the reputation that everyone knows and the acquaintance of his disciples all over the place.

Therefore, the Tubo and Turkic people think very clearly that no matter how much benefit they pay this time, as long as the other party swallows the bait, then it will be easy to talk about in the future.

After all, traitors are more hated than enemies, as long as they cooperate once, then unless the old Kong family doesn't want to mess around in the Central Plains.

Otherwise, the Tubo and Turks who hold the handle are tantamount to putting a collar on a big dog's neck.

As a nomad who likes to hunt and lead the yellow since he was a child, no matter if he is a Turk or a Tubo, he knows one thing, that is, whether it is training a dog or boiling an eagle, as long as he eats what you feed for the first time, he will be completely tamed. It's only a matter of time.

But when they were proud, the spies following the caravan told them that their partners had been wiped out by the "Turks", and it seemed that Datang would use this as an excuse to send troops to the Turks?

When Jieli Khan heard the news, he was stunned for a while, then put down his wine glass and cursed.

This is simply a tiankeng, damn it!

There is nothing to do when the labor and management are full, and if the brain is flooded, it won't kill the good teammates I have just worked so hard to win over. It's about time, this is just the beginning.

Then why is the emperor of the Central Plains so proficient, he put a big hat on his head easily, it is obvious that the emperor of the Central Plains did it, why did the people of the Central Plains believe it, and then screamed to come to the Turks to fight Woolen cloth.

If it was in the past, no matter whether it was Tubo or Turkic, they would never be afraid of Datang's attack, and even wished that Datang would rush over and bump into his head.

After all, everyone is an old opponent, and everyone knows the military strength of the Tang Dynasty very well, but Tubo has a plateau, the Turks have cavalry, and they really have no awe of the Tang Dynasty, which only occupies the time of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But now it is a little different. If the previous Tang Dynasty was a cub, then after Li Shimin ascended the throne in the past two years, with Zhang Nuo's help, it is not just ripening the cub. , That is simply to fly into the air directly with wings inserted.

As I said before, due to the increase in caravans, people outside the region know more and more about Datang, and at least you can hear various news from others with a little inquiry.

However, as long as you slowly summarize it afterwards, you will find that in fact, the major events that happened in Datang over the past two years seem to have Zhang Nuo's looming figure behind them.

He was like a big hand that was elusive. He only moved it a few times hidden behind his back, and Datang ran wildly in a manner that no one had seen before.

If this is the case in terms of national economy and people's livelihood, then what amazing achievements will His Royal Highness King Qin, who is known as both civil and military, personally lead troops to destroy Goryeo, have in terms of military strategy?

This time, the [-] cavalry of King Qin's direct descendants in Goryeo were transferred back to the pass, are they preparing for the Turkic war?Will His Royal Highness King Qin lead the army again?

No one knows these questions, but everyone wants to know!

Chapter 663

Time is very interesting sometimes. When you care about it, it passes slower than anyone else. Sometimes when you don’t care about it, it feels like the whole world is fast forwarding. If you are not careful, a period of time will pass. up.

This is how Zhang Nuo feels, why does he feel so confused, as if he was discussing with Li Shimin yesterday whether he should go to the imperial conquest, and today he is about to go to the expedition, this inexplicable feeling that he has spent all his time on the dog.

But after all, this point has been reached, what should be said and what should not be said, has already been said, what should be done has come before the eyes, and there is nothing to hesitate, saying nothing will work, or go directly Bar.

According to the rules of generals in this era, it is a big deal for the head of the family to go to war, and the family has to be properly settled several days in advance. Not to mention, there are various small rules in it. For example, women in the family must never cry, even if they are about to part. I can't remember it in my heart, and I have to swallow my tears, because crying is unlucky.

In addition, the meals at home in recent days have to be specially prepared, and the dishes on the dinner table are all particular.

Not to mention the equipment, which has been checked over and over ten times before and after, and I am afraid that there will be a little mistake in the middle.

In fact, Zhang Nuo deliberately told them not to worry so much, he still has several sets of equipment in his portable space, not to mention that he can buy them directly anytime and anywhere, even if they don't fit so well, they are much better than ordinary people.

However, looking at the grievances of his family members who were about to cry, Zhang Nuo could only shut his mouth sullenly.

After all, everyone knows that he has everything, but they can only express their worries and concerns in this way.

Zhang Nuo simply came here and let them get it.In other words, they acquiesced in this way of expressing their hearts.

Early the next morning, Zhang Nuo got into the car in full armor.

That's right, this time Zhang Nuo can't ride a horse as foolishly as he did in the last Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, good guy, he almost killed him last time.

It is a rule that the armor is on the body, and the generals in the army must wear it when they are marching, but whether they ride a horse or not is not in the military law.After all, there are not always horses for those generals to ride.

Zhang Nuo took advantage of this loophole and got into the car directly. Anyway, there were a lot of cavalry on this expedition, and he was going on the main road, so his car would definitely follow wherever the cavalry could go.

Cao Xing is also very happy at the moment, mother, after all these years of fighting in the north and south, even if he followed His Majesty, he didn't get such a good treatment. Look at the gang of sun thieves outside, all of them are bruised and sweaty After getting off, look at yourself, sitting in the car, blowing the cool breeze, listening to a little tune, as long as you hold the steering wheel and put on the accelerator, nothing will happen.

In such a comparison, this expedition, at least not too comfortable on the road.

Li Shimin is not here at this time, he is still in Chang'an City and is preparing to set off. After all, it is the imperial conquest, let alone the result, but when the emperor travels, there must be some ostentation, front and back, left and right Right, left, and right are all stipulated.

However, if it was in the past, Li Shimin should be very proud and proud of being able to march on the dragon that was specially used for patrolling, but he is already very familiar with the good thing of cars, and he knows clearly that the same as Zhang Nuo Compared with his own car, his so-called extremely luxurious Long Lun is actually just a showman.

It looks very luxurious, it seems to be inlaid with gold and jade, but in fact, no matter how hard it is, it is incomparable with the automobile industry that has gathered various high-tech and is known as the crown of the industry in later generations. of.

Think about it, the automobile industry of later generations, from the lowest-end market price of small tricycles and scooters with a price of only tens of millions of yuan, to top luxury cars with a price of over [-] million yuan, how much technology and hard work are involved in it?

This gap between eras is really not something that skilled craftsmen can catch up with in a short period of time.

After all, the automobile industry itself is not a single industry, but a technical aggregation of metallurgy, materials, design, automation, optoelectronics, integrated circuits and other industries.

But sometimes, indicators such as value and comfort are actually useless. Of course, Li Shimin knows that his Longxuan is not as good as the car Zhang Nuo took out, but he has no choice.

He is the emperor, the supreme king of the Tang Dynasty, so his words and deeds represent the majesty and glory of the Tang Dynasty. If he does not sit in this dragon, but chooses the iron box that seems to run very fast, but is very stingy , Hehe, believe it or not, the censors and literati who accompanied the army would bump their heads to death in front of him.

Or maybe it's just a tradition, it's not that no one has ever gotten into the car that Li Shimin cheated from Zhang Nuo, and they also think that the car is really comfortable to sit in, but it's just too small.

There may be differences between the simple people of the Tang Dynasty and the ordinary people of later generations, but only in terms of aesthetics, there is an astonishing consistency, that is, the car needs to be bigger to be stylish.

So, it's not that Zhang Nuo's products are not good, but that the car Zhang Nuo brought out is too small and not impressive at all.

Then there is no way, Li Shimin can only sit on the dragon.

In fact, it is called a carriage, but it should be said that it is an early primitive caravan. There are not only Li Shimin on it, but there are more than a dozen maids, servants, and secretaries responsible for recording and delivering orders. Woolen cloth.

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting on the window seat bitterly, frowning and looking at the faintly visible black car in the distance. Scolded a dog bloody head.

Damn, I'm the emperor, why can't I choose a better car, I have to shake on this wooden lump, this is the end of summer, when the customs are the most lively, if it is Li Shimin from before Never mind.

Anyway, Li Shimin has been used to enjoying rich clothes and fine food since he was a child. In summer, it is very good to have ice cubes taken out of the ice cellar to dissipate heat!

But Zhang Nuo had already let Li Shimin know how amazing the car air conditioner is, it is really warm in winter and cool in summer, refreshing.

But at this moment, Zhang Nuo was leisurely hiding in the car blowing on the air conditioner, even Cao Xing was comfortable, but he, the emperor, was so hot that he was about to stick out his tongue.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt that the coolness brought by the ice cubes disappeared in an instant, and his whole body was about to explode!

You have to think of a way, this bitch is suffering!

Chapter 664 The Miraculous Gift Given by Zhang Nuo

Let's not mention how Li Shimin was thinking about rubbing the car, but as far as Datang's expedition is concerned, the movement is really not small.

To be honest, ordinary people really can't imagine why they can deploy troops with confidence in the years of drought, and after raising the relief food for the drought-stricken areas, they can still gather a large amount of military food to accompany the army.

You must know that although money and food are important, in fact, food can be exchanged for money at any time. It is nothing more than a difference in price, but money cannot be exchanged for food at any time.

However, Datang, which had difficulty feeding ordinary people in previous years, faced such a disaster year, not only quickly mobilized food relief, but even after Turks and Tubo teamed up with the old Kong family to cheat Datang, The food was mobilized again.

That's scary enough, but the work-for-relief side is even more incomprehensible.

In previous years, for disaster relief, it was enough to bring out some food and cook some porridge to prevent people from starving to death. Now in Datang, this is a real meal that people can eat without saying anything, and they also give money every month.

And then, that’s not counting, Datang is actually able to plan a batch of military rations for tens of thousands of people, mother, this Nima years ago, the above three items alone have to be accumulated for a long time to come out The preparations are made. Doesn’t the current Tang Dynasty produce grain in the ground, or fall from the sky? Otherwise, where did the grain come from? You know, it’s not just a single star, any of them is a huge amount of grain.

As I said before, being rich does not mean that you have food. Even if you are rich, so much food is produced every year. Except for the consumption of people eating horse chews, there is a lot that can be accumulated.

Therefore, logically speaking, no matter how rich you are, the amount of grain you can buy is limited, but Datang has now broken this understanding and produced so much grain in a daze.

Many people speculate that it has something to do with the miraculous His Royal Highness King Qin. After all, the most famous achievement of this His Royal Highness is that he produced several high-yield immortal grains.

Nowadays, crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes have gradually become popular in Guanzhong, and people have realized the frightening yields of these crops.

But after all, there is not enough time. Even with continuous breeding and expansion, the planted area is still not spread out, but this is only a matter of time after all.

But under such circumstances, Li Shimin, who was still hesitant at first, was stuffed by Zhang Nuo with the news that Da Sui had hidden granaries around Luoyang, which was more than enough for the army to go out this time.

When Li Shimin received the news from Zhang Nuo, he was in a daze, what the hell, is this a joke?

I think his old Li family was from the prestigious Guanlong Group back then, and Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, was his great-grandfather. It can be said that their family was the best in the Sui Dynasty, but even so, Neither he nor his father had ever heard of the hidden granary in Da Sui. It was a hidden granary that stored a large amount of grain. How did Zhang Nuo know.

But Zhang Nuo just said one sentence, so people can go and see it to know?

This job was taken away by Li Yuan in the end, and now his relationship with his son has eased to a great extent. Although he can't be as close as before, at least he is not as eager to kill him as he was at the beginning.

Therefore, when Li Shimin came to ask his father about this news, it was not surprising that Li Yuan knew about it.

However, Li Yuan had never heard any rumors about this hidden grain depot, not even a little bit of wind, which is a bit strange.

However, with an attitude of preferring to believe that there is nothing to believe, Li Yuan took the initiative to take someone to Luoyang. After all, this kind of thing requires a big person to sit in charge, and on the other hand, if there is a hidden granary in the world, there must also be one. For the first time, for example, Lao Li's backhand, hole cards and so on, this reason is very good.

As a result, Li Shimin and Li Yuan were stunned when they saw the entrance of the granary opened in that humble small village, and the grain was continuously sent out.

God, how come there are so many!

Even Zhang Nuo, who got this news by accident from some records of later generations, was stunned when he saw the batches of food that were brought out.

I really didn't expect there to be so many!

This is equivalent to secretly digging out a Changping warehouse under the small village next to Luoyang City!

If it doesn't make any sense to say that, judging from what Zhang Nuo saw when he sneaked over to the scene, it is equivalent to digging out a space as big as [-] football fields in the ground, and it is filled with grain.

It is said that when Li Yuan and Li Shimin saw this hidden granary, Li Yuan almost fainted, and Li Shimin was also sweating profusely.

Although it was said to the public that it was prepared by their old Li family, in fact they knew very well that this thing was not prepared by their old Li family at all, but by Li Shimin's cousin, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.

God knows why he didn't take out the food, whether it was for disaster relief or to expand the army, it was much stronger than their original strength.

Li Yuan felt scared after thinking about it, and Li Shimin, the general who had repeatedly fought against the Sui Dynasty at that time, was also sweating profusely. As a commander, he knew how powerful these grains would be after they were taken out.
