Chapter 57: Men conquer the world, and women conquer men

On December 18, the first year of Li Jiancheng's Kaiyuan, Chen Ying's battle report reached Chang'an.

In the battle, Chen Ying annihilated the Liang Division, captured the Liang Division, and captured the Liang Division, as well as his pseudo-Shangshu Liu Sheng, his subordinates Gao Xu, the general Feng Duan, the subordinate general He Yuepan, and the champion general Li Zhengbao.

The Liang army, totaling more than 36,000 soldiers, all laid down their arms and surrendered unconditionally.

There are more than 76,400 households in 28 counties in Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Gyeongju, and more than 300,000 people are under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

With the battle, Chen Ying cleared the last obstacle between him and the Eastern Turks.

Although it is happy to win the battle, Li Jiancheng has a headache about how to reward the Duke of Liangguo who has made great achievements.

This battle is finally over, more than 36,000 Liang soldiers died and surrendered, and they were wiped out in one day, such a great achievement is like a myth.

However, in Li Jiancheng's view, it is expected to win against Liang Shidu. After all, Liang Shidu was short of food and grass, and it was not a big deal to defeat Liang Shidu without all armor, and they had expected such a result before the war.

However, what surprised Li Jiancheng the most was that the number of casualties and casualties among the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army was less than 100, and most of the injuries were actually due to the cold weather, and frostbite was the majority.

Of course, Li Jiancheng's headache is not only how to reward Chen Ying, but how to resettle the more than 300,000 people, who are the most headache.

Although there are enough grain reserves in Guanzhong, as well as enough farms and factories to absorb the 300,000 people, the sudden influx of 300,000 people will definitely cause chaos, and we must consider the long term.

……

Wang Qi walked into the hall of the secretary province, followed by a Lang official, who was holding a stack of papers.

The secretary of the secretary province, secretary Lang and other officials stood up one after another.

Secretary Cheng Chu Suiliang said: "Congratulations to Wang Shangshu for his promotion to the prime minister." ”

Everyone echoed and congratulated Fang Xuanling in unison.

Wang Qi smiled and nodded to everyone.

Wang Jue pointed to the account book in the hand of the accompanying Lang official and said: "The accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs this year will be sent to the secretary and the province for archiving. ”

The secretary was busy going through the formalities.

Wang Jue turned the corner and walked to Shangshu Province, but saw Fang Xuanling, sitting in a corner, still concentrating on official business.

Wang Jue nodded, stepped forward and said, "Xuan Ling, I heard Your Majesty say that it was you who recommended me to serve as the governor?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Wang Jue looked at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly turned sideways and avoided: "Shu Jue doesn't have to be like this, Xuan Ling recommended Shu Jue just because Shu Jue is the most competent for this position, not because Shu Jue has the best relationship with Xuan Ling." ”

Wang Jue pointed to Fang Xuanling and laughed.

Fang Xuanling also had a smile on his face.

Wang Jue smiled bitterly: "I, Wang, how can I be the most suitable person?" If Your Majesty has done something wrong, my choice is to do everything I can to make up for it, rather than correct it in person. If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty is a person who knows his mistakes and can change them, my temperament would not have ended well! ”

Fang Xuanling said: "What Shu Jue said is both right and wrong. ”

Wang Jue looked at Fang Xuanling with interest.

Fang Xuanling smiled lightly: "Shu Jue's temperament is not like mine, everything must be indiscriminate, if the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, they are all like Fang someone, then the court will definitely be chaotic." ”

Wang Qi nodded appreciatively.

Fang Xuanling said: "For those who are in the country, they must be generous-minded. Although His Majesty is not the best emperor, he has the best imperial heart, and it is indeed just right for Shu Jue to come to be the governor and enter the political affairs hall to fill in the gaps for His Majesty. ”

Wang Jue groaned, nodded and said: "Xuan Ling, the biggest headache for Your Majesty now is how to reward the hussar general Chen Ying, this matter is ...... Xuan Ling."

Fang Xuanling smiled: "This matter is simple! ”

Wang Qi said all the thoughts: "Xuan Ling means...... Crowned king? ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "Datang now, there are only two kings with different surnames, Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, and Du Fuwei, the king of Wu, and now the two kings with different surnames have stayed away from the center and don't ask about political affairs!" ”

Wang Jue nodded and said: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty is still inseparable from General Chen, but meritorious service must be rewarded, and now General Chen's merit is ...... How should I be paid? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Let the Chinese book draft the purpose, and add his son Li Siye as the Duke of Luoyang County, his eldest son Chen Qian as the prince of Liangguo, and the eldest daughter Li Ruoxi as the lord of Lantian County!" ”

Wang Qi said: "That's it? ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "General Chen is the king, and he must stay away from the center like King Yanjun and King Wu, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public...... Now Datang is still inseparable from General Chen! ”

……

The chamberlains and palace maids hurried in and out of the dormitory.

Li Jiancheng paced back and forth outside the dormitory uneasily.

A loud baby cry came from the dormitory.

Li Jing's wife, Zhang Chuchen, both the Red Whisk Girl and Li Xiuning, came out together.

Zhang Chuchen said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the queen mother gave birth to a boy, and the mother and child are safe."

Li Jiancheng was immediately relieved and smiled.

Zhang Chuchen said: "The little prince is ranked seventh, and the queen asks Your Majesty to give the little prince a name." ”

Li Jiancheng couldn't help rubbing his hands and said, "This ...... Rong Zhen thought about it carefully, let's start with a milk name for the time being...... It's called ...... Let's call it Li Sheng! ”

"Poof......

When Li Xiuning heard this, he immediately smiled and bent over.

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it good...... Xiao Qi was born, and General Chen's good news came, if not, he would be called Li Jie......"

Li Xiuning said: "Poor little seven ......"

Li Jiancheng muttered: "Sanniang, what do you call it?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "Xiao Liu is called Chengyi, and Xiao Qi is called Chengren!" ”

……

Shangshu Province, the original Liang Shidu of Tongwancheng, has been changed to the Xiazhou Thorn History Yamen of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

In the backyard of the yamen, Yang Rong angrily crackled with an abacus.

Yang came to the door and knocked softly.

Yang Rong threw down the abacus and said, "Come in!" ”

Seeing Yang Ze come in, Yang Rong said happily: "When did the eldest brother come to Xiazhou?" ”

"It's just an hour!" Yang Ze looked at Yang Rong with a tired face and said, "I heard that you had a very unpleasant quarrel with your little cousin?" ”

Yang Rong nodded and said, "No, it's just that it hasn't been negotiated, it's not unpleasant!" ”

Yang Ze casually found a brocade dun and sat down and said: "Rong Niang, I didn't say you, you have also made a lot of money over the years, why bother with it......"

Yang Rong shook her head and said, "Big brother, you don't understand!" ”

Yang Ze said angrily: "Don't be petty, it's difficult for a strong person, otherwise your relatives will become enemies, which won't be good!" ”

"Big brother, you just put 10,000 hearts, I have my own measure!" Yang Rong said disapprenously: "Don't worry, my little cousin will definitely agree to me!" ”

Yang is not a woman, although he is Yang Rong's brother. However, he did not understand this sister.

Yang Rong is a person whose heart is higher than the sky, she would rather be at home for more than 40 years than compromise.

At the beginning, he was forced to marry a samurai to be a stepfamily, in fact, there were two considerations.

Li Yuan was bullying Hongnong Yang and humiliating Yang in this way.

Yang Rong is proud, and she is naturally reluctant to accept her fate.

She finally has a girlhood dream in her heart, and if she wants to marry, she will marry a hero. Even if it's not for a hero's wife, I'd rather be a hero's concubine.

Samurai Tong is not worthy of her at all.

In fact, in Yang Rong's heart, except for Chen Ying, who conforms to her aesthetic views, other men can't get into her eyes.

After all these years of growth, especially in the hands of the Wu family's business, under the influence of Chen Ying, her horizons have broadened a lot, and she knows it very well.

In the future of Datang, resources are the mainstream.

Whoever has the resources in his hands has everything in his hands.

Don't look at Chen Ying's infinite scenery now, and he is trusted by Li Jiancheng.

But how long can this trust last?

Although Li Xiuning is Chen Ying's wife, Li Xiuning is really not a suitable wife, and Li Daozhen is not a suitable lover.

If Chen Ying would support her like Li Daozhen, she would be fully capable of turning Xiazhou, Yanzhou and Gyeongju into Yang Rong's kingdom.

In the holy decree of the emperor of the three states, there is no word from her.

Master Liang is a fool, and the biggest fool in the world.

Sitting on Baoshan, but not using it.

Otherwise, relying on the resources of the 28 counties in these three states alone, it can become a helpless existence for Datang.

Yang Rong believes very much in a sentence that men conquer the world and women conquer men.

Chen Ying can conquer the world, while Yang Rong can conquer Chen Ying.

Yang Rong believes that in this world, Chen Ying is the most suitable lover.

Chen Ying is very young, and he has a heavy army, and he manages countless people and land, so he is simply the best lover.

Yang Rong believes that she will not only become Chen Ying's partner in life, but also a good partner in his career, and she and I will definitely make Chen Ying's wealth increase at an astonishing rate.

has the Yang family's heritage, the Yang family's connections and resources, plus the wealth she can control.

Chen Ying can have people, money, and troops.

With the wealth and army in hand, my heart is the emperor.

It's night......

Yang Rong dressed up to travel, but this time she didn't go to Chen Ying.

Instead, he went to find Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian.

As the deputy marshal of this Northern Expedition, Li Xiaogong actually has almost the same power as Chen Ying.

I can't get the approval from Chen Ying, but I can definitely get it from Li Xiaogong.

The most important thing is that Li Xiaogong is much more foolish than Chen Yinghao.

When Li Xiaogong faced Yang Rong, Yang Rong had already become a royal sister queen.

Just like the diplomats of the two countries, the business negotiations are very formal.

Yang Rong went straight to the point and bluntly told Li Xiaogong that she wanted the mineral mining rights of Xiazhou, Yanzhou and Gyeongju, and that she could resettle more than 300,000 people in Sanzhou on the spot, ensuring that everyone had clothes to wear and food to eat, and that she could get 1.2 million yuan of money and grain without spending an extra penny from the imperial court.

Li Xiaogong was tempted at that time.

The lack of money in the Tang Dynasty was more serious than the lack of blood.

Of course, the addition of more than 300,000 mouths is also a great burden for the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty.

The land of Xinna, with 28 counties and a population of more than 300,000, is a very heavy burden for Datang.

If you can throw this burden to Yang Rong.

It's not a good thing.

Trading was easier than Yang Rong imagined.

Li Xiaogong sent an application to Li Jiancheng in Chang'an by riding 800 miles fast.

After Li Jiancheng of Chang'an City received this recital, he almost didn't think about it and took it to the political hall for discussion.

The six ministers of the political affairs hall have been briefly discussed.

Including Fang Xuanling, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Yu Wenshi and four votes in favor, Yang Gongren abstained, and was directly approved.

Li Jiancheng immediately agreed to Yang Rong's request.
