Li Shimin lived in a quilt and waited for Li Tai to arrive.

The eldest grandson Wuji was already sitting next to him, and Li Jing and the others were also there.

A large plate of charcoal burned in the middle of the Qinzheng Palace.

Du Ruhui was roasting on the fire, coughing and shivering at the same time, it seemed that he was already terminally ill.

Li Tai walked over, lifted the curtain at the door, and walked in.

After looking at it, he opened his mouth and said, "I said, Dad, are you going to commit suicide by burning charcoal collectively?" ”

"You old men, are you really impatient?" Li Tai hurriedly walked to the window and opened one of the windows.

A cold wind rushed in from the outside.

Cheng Yanjin strode to the window and closed the window.

"Qingque, what are you doing here? It's a cold day, you're looking for a beating. Cheng Yanjin said with a pair of big bull's eyes.

"Oh, my old father-in-law, what are you beating? When it comes to fighting, you can't beat me. Li Taile said hehehe: "You are baking such a large plate of carbon, and you have closed the hall so tightly, are you not afraid of nitric oxide poisoning?" ”

Li Tai really convinced this group of old men.

I'm really not afraid of death!

"Dad, although this charcoal fire is good, it is easy to be poisoned by carbon when burning like this, so when burning charcoal, remember to open a window so that the wind can penetrate in." Li Tai said.

"Hmph, you don't need to be reminded of this, don't you really know about us?" Li Shimin glared at Li Tai and said, "You should tell us what kind of medicine you sell in this gourd!" ”

"Naturally, it's a good medicine." Li Tai said with a slight smile.

"Huh?"

Everyone's brows furrowed slightly.

What does this mean exactly?

"Daddy, what do you think of the Lingnan area?" Li Tai asked.

"Although Lingnan is wild, it has been the territory of our Han people since the Han Dynasty." Li Shimin said: "Don't lose it! ”

Li Tai rolled his eyes when he heard this.

If you knew that in a few hundred years, the area around Cochin would be occupied by the Ji Mi people, and I don't know if you would jump out of the coffin.

"Qingque, you also said that the land in the Lingnan area is fertile, and now there is a lack of population to develop, and when it is developed in the future, it will inevitably become the granary of the entire Tang Dynasty." Eldest Sun Wuji opened his mouth and said.

"Lingnan produces rice, if Lingnan can be developed well, this Lingnan rice can make our Datang's national strength to a higher level." Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Father-in-law, father, you think things are too beautiful, your ideals are very full, but the reality is often very skinny." Li Tai laughed and said: "Since Qin Shi Huang destroyed the king of Baiyue and collected the land of Lingnan, Lingnan has been under the management of the Central Plains Dynasty, which has been managed for thousands of years, and I have not seen that Lingnan can be turned into a granary, but there are often riots. ”

"The Lingnan area is indeed rich in resources, rich in products, and fertile land, but you should not forget that today's Lingnan is densely forested, full of miasma, and has many mountains, mountains, and water. When the Turks arrived, it was estimated that a small half of them died on the way. ”

"Lingnan is a place where poisonous insects and beasts gather, not to mention, there are still Baiyue clans in Lingnan now, there are Miao Li Yaotai and other tribes, and Lingnan is the master of the house, it is the Baiyue chief Feng Zhidai, although my Tang Dynasty said that he has the land of Lingnan, but how can he ever touch the land of Lingnan?"

Li Tai's smile looked evil. He said: "If the Eastern Turks can enter Lingnan, then they will inevitably have a dispute with the Lingnan Baiyue tribe led by Feng Zhidai, and then we will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"However, what if the Turks occupy Baiyue and unite the people of Baiyue against our Tang Dynasty?" Eldest Sun Wuji said with some concern.

"At this point, you don't have to worry, they can only lose both." Li Tai said with a slight smile.

"Oh? Why is that? Li Shimin was very curious.

"The Baiyue clan, although they are short in stature and dark-skinned, but since they were born, they have fought with the sky, the earth, and the mountains, and they have a fierce personality and do not obey foreigners. Li Tai smiled slightly and said, "And the Eastern Turks are also fierce people, how can they obey Feng Zhidai's management?" ”

"There will inevitably be disputes between the two tribes, and since ancient times, once a war has begun, they have killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. Although the Baiyue people are familiar with the local terrain, it is not easy to defeat the Turks. “”

"Moreover, there are many mountains and forests in the south, there is more water, and when the Eastern Turks arrive in the south, their cavalry will not have much effect at all, even if they can settle down in the south in the future, they can only become an agricultural nation, and when the time comes, it will not be easy for my Tang Dynasty to clean them up?"

"If the Turks enter Lingnan, they can not only help us curb the power of the Baiyue people, but also help us open up Lingnan, how good?" The smile on Li Tai's face became even richer.

"It's a good idea, but it's very insidious." Cheng Biting Jinle said hehehe: "Qingque, if you don't know, I thought you were the seed of the eldest grandson's family, you and your uncle can be said to be the most insidious people in the entire Tang Dynasty." ”

Cheng Biting Jin, this guy is too open-mouthed, right?

Hearing Cheng Biting Jin's words, Li Tai touched his nose and said, "I'm a little embarrassed that my father-in-law praised me like this, I really have half of the blood of the eldest grandson's family flowing in my body." ”

"Qingque, this method is good, but once the Turks are vacated, then who will curb those other tribes on the steppe?" Li Shimin asked.

"Dad, have you ever been to the Hetao?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Tai's mouth, and he said, "In the Hetao area, the water and grass are abundant!" The land is more fertile, and it can be used as pastures or orchards, I think. ”

"We can move some Han people to Hetao, give them cattle, sheep and horses, and graze Hetao, and then there will be no shortage of cattle and sheep in my Datang, let alone horses."

"Foreigners are unreliable after all, why don't we let our people graze for the Tang Dynasty? We can set up a ranch for the imperial court, and the imperial court will send people to graze cattle in the Hetao area. ”

"Then, we're building the city and sending troops on patrol! Keep the Hetao in our own hands forever, even if it is another thousand years, ten thousand years, we will never be bullied by foreign races because of the lack of cavalry. ”

"Also, we can dig up the land around the Loop, grow wheat, and plant orchard......s," Li Tai gushes.

In another 20 Chinese New Year's Eve years, there will be many orchards in the Hetao area.

"At this time, lack is a good way." Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "You tell us carefully." ”

"Whoa!"

Li Tai hurriedly continued.
