Chapter 24: Family Inheritance

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was full of complaints, was shocked, according to the army's travel and supply standards, 100,000 catties of grain is 1,000 stones, and according to the soldiers, each soldier has three liters a day, which is enough for more than 30,000 troops for a day, that is to say, the supply of more than 30,000 troops can be done with one such car.

"One driver, eight horses, and the cost along the way is almost negligible." Li Shimin secretly thought: "If such a gallop road is laid from Chang'an and this kind of convertible is built, wouldn't it be possible to complete the supply task without spending people's labor?" ”

Although Li Shimin's face was not shocked, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Hou Junji and Duan Zhixuan even climbed into the convertible car that had already stopped, looking at the dirt on it, Hou Junji didn't seem to believe that the car was loaded with dirt, and used a spear to stab everywhere, and finally Hou Junji let Li Shimin make a look, Li Shimin really believed at this time, Chen Ying's words that a car with eight horses can pull 100,000 catties.

Li Shimin looked eagerly at this thousand-step galloping road, smiled slightly, and asked, "How much does it cost to build such a road?" How time-consuming? ”

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Two hundred people paved the road, one hundred and fifty carpenters cut wood, fifty carpenters built cars, and five hundred people dug the soil, which took five days. ”

"That's not much!" Li Shimin thought for a while, stepped forward and patted Chen Ying on the shoulder: "General Chen has made another great achievement!" ”

Chen Ying said in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't really want to cultivate Chi Dao, this is not a small project, don't forget the past, the teacher of the future ......"

Li Shimin said: "There are more than 300 miles from Chang'an to Tongguan, if you build such a gallop road, how many people will be needed and how long will it take?" ”

Chen Ying can actually guess that Li Shimin is a person who will not hit the south wall and not look back as long as he identifies one thing, so he will not care how many difficulties he will encounter. No matter how big the difficulties are, he will not easily change his original intention.

In the ninth year of Wude, the Turkic Jieli Khan took advantage of Li Shimin's instability to establish the country, and led 200,000 cavalry along Lingzhou to enter Chang'an. At that time, almost everyone in Li Tang was not optimistic about taking the initiative this time, and persuaded Li Shimin to keep his head in obscurity, and in order to plan for the future, he still tried his best to resist public opinion and insisted on what he had seen.

Especially in the matter of the three conquests of Goguryeo, Li Shimin's stubbornness was more prominent, Li Shimin proposed to attack Goguryeo, and the ministers opposed it at that time, Li Shimin believed: "Goguryeo's attack on Silla ostensibly does not give me face, but in fact, Goguryeo wants to control the entire Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula." If we succeed, we will definitely be challenged, and then the situation will be even more difficult to control. Such forces must not be allowed to appear within the limits of my rule. ”

As a result, Li Shimin ignored the opposition of Chu Suiliang and others, and in 645 AD, he personally conquered Goguryeo. Li Shimin did not hesitate to drive the expedition in person. Although it did not achieve a major victory and did not shake the foundation of Goguryeo, it delayed the rapid growth of the Goguryeo Dynasty to a certain extent and accelerated the decline of the Goguryeo Dynasty. In the process of conquest, Li Shimin did not adopt a bloody policy of slaughter and annihilation, but still used the method of attaching equal importance to grace and might, and consolidated the power he had gained, laying the foundation for the next step of completely defeating Goguryeo.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said: "However, the cost is too great......

"The Lone King is not the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the marshal of the Shandong Road March!" Li Shimin said disapprovingly: "It's just how much to consume and how to build, that's a matter for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs......"

Li Shimin walked around the thousand-meter-long gallop and stepped on the war horse with satisfaction.

Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to leave, Chen Ying said: "Your Highness doesn't stay for dinner?" ”

"No, you can eat later!" Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying and said, "But this matter cannot be delayed!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin and his entourage rode their horses and galloped towards Chang'an.

……

In the backyard of the Ming Hall of Hou Mo Chen's Mansion, in a big house, the curtain is low, and behind the tent is a rippling pool, and Hou Mo Chen Qian will be naked and soak in the pool. He shook his head, hissing from his mouth, and looked like he was enjoying it.

Yu Qingna took a few clothes, walked around the curtain, walked over, and said with a smile on his face: "Or Ah Lang will enjoy ......"

"If you can live for a few days, you will know, you can get by!" Hou Mo Chen Qian will get up, Yu Qing will take a towel to wipe the water traces on Hou Mo Chen Qian's body, and after all the wipes are dry, serve Hou Mo Chen Qian will put on a light clothes.

Hou Mo Chen Qian would point to this pool and said: "Wulang (referring to Chen Ying) is the one who will enjoy it, who of us can think of building such a big pool in the house." ”

"Ah Lang is right, Gorou is indeed smart!" Saying this, Yu Qing deliberately sold a pass: "Ah Lang, guess what, what is Gorou doing outside the city?" ”

"Outside the city, didn't you get a Zhuangzi?" Hou Mo Chen Qian will smile lightly: "Wulang is still sensible, he knows that he has bought a family business, everything is empty, only this land can be inherited, Li Tang is in Guanzhong with the battle of Hedong, it can be regarded as a complete foothold, this land in Guanzhong will only become more and more expensive in the future, and in the future, I am afraid that there is no price in the market, and no one will sell it if you want to buy it." ”

Yu Qing casually poured a glass of wine from the wine jug on the table next to the pool, took the ice cube from the ice basin and put it in, and handed it to Hou Mo Chen Qianhui, Yu Qing said: "Ah Lang, this is the wine from the Western Regions, sent from the palace, and it is the most refreshing to drink with ice, drink and see!" “

Hou Mo Chen Qian reached out and took a small sip, feeling very comfortable: "Good things, good things, there shouldn't be any of them in Wulang, right?" ”

Yu Qing nodded.

"Send the rest."

Yu Qing shook his head helplessly.

Hou Mo Chen Qian would walk out of the bathroom and into the corridor outside. Yu Qing stepped forward and followed in time.

Hou Mo Chen Qian came to the corridor of the Houhua Courtyard, and suddenly saw the clay figure Zhang and a secret guard in the courtyard discussing something. The clay figure Zhang is the worship of Hou Mo Chen, and he is the best at kneading clay sculptures, of course, Hou Mo Chen's worship of the clay figure Zhang is not for play, but for making a marching sand table.

Hou Mo Chen Qian will look at the clay sculpture made by the clay figure Zhang, which is obviously a small city. Suddenly asked strangely: "Is this ......?"

Yu Qing said in a low voice: "This is something that Gorou is sitting outside Chang'an City. ”

Hou Mo Chen Qianhui frowned: "Dock Fort? ”

Yu Qing nodded, but he didn't expect Hou Mo Chen Qian to follow: "However, this is also a method, if the ancestor of the family had a dock fort, Yuwen Hu would not be so easy to succeed." But this dock fort is not so easy to repair, it is shoddy, I'm afraid it's useless......"

Yu Qing said: "A few days ago, the county lord of Baicheng sent some money over! ”

Hou Mo Chen Qianhui thought for a while and said, "How much money is there in the family now?" ”

"The money is there, but I'm afraid Gorou won't accept it!" Yu Qingdao: "Unless, after he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, he can gather the power of the Mo Chen family, not to mention building a dock fort at that time, even two can be built!" ”

Hou Mo Chen Qianhui's brows furrowed, and his face sank suddenly: "This matter is a bit urgent, you shouldn't build such a dock fort under Li Yuan's nose, prepare the car, the old man wants to go out of the city!" ”
